AmeriCorps Fact Sheet
AmeriCorps engages more than 80,000 men and women in intensive service each year at more than 21,000 locations including nonprofits, schools, public agencies, and community and faith-based groups across the country. AmeriCorps members help communities tackle pressing problems while mobilizing millions of volunteers for the organizations they serve. Members gain valuable professional, educational, and life benefits, and the experience has a lasting impact on the members and the communities they serve.
AmeriCorps consists of three main programs: AmeriCorps State and National, whose members serve with national and local nonprofit and community groups; AmeriCorps VISTA, through which members serve full time fighting poverty; and AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a team-based residential program for young adults 18-24 who carry out projects in public safety, the environment, youth development, and disaster relief and preparedness.
Focus on Impact
The bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act focused AmeriCorps' efforts in six key areas: disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families. To strengthen accountability, AmeriCorps programs are required to demonstrate their impact using standard performance measures.
AmeriCorps members make our communities safer, stronger, healthier, and improve the lives of tens of millions of our most vulnerable citizens. AmeriCorps' impacts are proven and measurable.
Disaster services: In response to the tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011, AmeriCorps teams organized a large-scale volunteer response center that recruited and supervised more than 75,000 volunteers. Through the AmeriCorps-led operation, unaffiliated volunteers contributed more than 579,000 hours of service. These hours completely defrayed over $17.7 million in emergency match dollars owed by the City of Joplin to the federal government at the conclusion of the response.
Economic opportunity: AmeriCorps VISTA engages more than 8,000 members each year in fighting poverty by creating businesses, expanding access to technology, recruiting volunteers to teach literacy, and strengthening antipoverty groups.
Education: AmeriCorps places thousands of teachers, tutors, and mentors into lowperforming schools, helping students succeed in school and gain skills necessary to get 21st-century jobs.
Environmental stewardship: Members build trails, restore parks, protect watersheds, run recycling programs, and promote energy efficiency, weatherization, and clean energy.
Healthy futures: AmeriCorps members save lives through HIV/AIDS education and outreach, drug and alcohol prevention training, and connecting poor families to health clinics and services.
Veterans and military families: AmeriCorps supports the military community by engaging veterans in service, helping veterans readjust to civilian life, and providing support to military families.
Strengthening Nonprofits and the Volunteer Sector
Strengthening nonprofits: AmeriCorps members help faith-based and community groups expand services, build capacity, raise funds, develop new partnerships, and create innovative, sustainable programs.
Encouraging competition and local control: AmeriCorps pushes funding and decision-making to the state and local level. Most grantees are chosen by bipartisan state commissions appointed by the governor.
Advancing social innovation: AmeriCorps invests in entrepreneurial organizations that have been recognized for their innovative approaches to citizen problem-solving such as Teach for America, City Year, YouthBuild, JumpStart, Citizen Schools, and Experience Corps.
Expanding Educational Opportunity and Building Future Leaders
Expanding educational opportunity: In exchange for a year of full-time service, AmeriCorps members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award (equal to the maximum Pell Grant) that helps pay for college or pay back student loans. AmeriCorps members have earned more than $3.3 billion in these awards since 1994.
Preparing the 21st Century Workforce: AmeriCorps is a pathway to economic opportunity that provides members with valuable skills specific to their service (construction, teaching, weatherization, etc.) as well as general skills of leadership and problem-solving that all employers are looking for.
Creating future leaders: AmeriCorps members gain new and useful skills, advance their education, and become more connected to their communities. A longitudinal study has shown that AmeriCorps alumni are more likely to be civically engaged, to go into public service careers—such as teaching, public safety, social work, and military service—and to volunteer in their communities.
Leveraging a Powerful Return on the Investment
Public private partnerships: AmeriCorps leverages substantial private investment—more than $480 million in non-CNCS funds each year from businesses, foundations, and other sources. AmeriCorps has cut costs and become more efficient by supporting more members with fewer federal dollars.
Mobilizing volunteers: AmeriCorps is a powerful catalyst and force-multiplier for community volunteering. Last year AmeriCorps members recruited, trained, and supervised more than 4 million community volunteers for the organizations they serve.

Earlier this week, the Austin Toros, who are the D-League-owned team and affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs, traded away what could have been a part of the Spurs' future.
If you thought the NBA trade deadline resulted in a swarm of relocations, D-League teams should probably keep change of address cards stocked in the front office. Aside from the player movement from call-ups, several D-League teams go through more trades than even Bob Whitsitt could imagine.
Since it is a development league, player movement is a big part of the league.
Former Toros forward Leo Lyons became a casualty of the whirlwind of trades when the Toros shipped him in a three-team trade that netted them Josh Davis.

Monomials, Polynomials
Date: 03/02/2001 at 13:31:35 From: Chris Heller Subject: Monomials Can you explain monomials and polynomials to me?
Date: 03/02/2001 at 17:57:10 From: Doctor Jordi Subject: Re: Monomials Hello, Chris - thanks for writing to Dr. Math. I am not sure exactly what you would like to know about monomials and polynomials. There is not much to say about monomials, except that they are the building blocks of polynomials. Polynomials, on the other hand, are very interesting mathematical structures, and a whole lot of things can be said about them. I will spare you for the moment saying every interesting fact about polynomials that I can think of, since I am imagining that for now you are only interested in knowing the definitions regarding the two. A monomial is a product of as many factors as you like, each raised to a POSITIVE power. By definition, negative exponents are not allowed. The following are examples of monomials: x y x^2 (x squared) 3xy 34.6*(a^3)*r^4 3(x^26)*(y^(pi)) (3 times x to the 26th power times y to the pi power) 37*a*b*c*d* ... *z*alpha*beta*gamma* ... *omega*aleph*(a partridge in a pear tree) (The product of 37 times the variables represented by all the letters of the English alphabet times the variables represented by all the letters of the Greek alphabet times the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, times a partridge in a pear tree. It is still a monomial, no matter how many numbers we are multiplying together. Don't worry too much about this goofy example; I am just trying to point out that a monomial is a very general concept.) A polynomial is nothing more than the sum of two or more monomials. The following are examples of polynomials: x (yes, a monomial is also a polynomial) x + y ax^2 + bx + c (the very famous quadratic polynomial) (x^2)*(y^2) + xy + x x^34 + r^(3.535) + c abc + rst + xyz^2 + abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Again, don't worry too much about that last goofy example. I'm sure you will probably never encounter a polynomial anytime soon that uses all the letters of the English alphabet. Usually, however, when we say "polynomial," we are talking about a very specific kind of polynomial that occurs very often. This is the polynomial where there is only one variable, all the powers of this variable are nonnegative integers, and each power of this variable may be multiplied by a constant. The way mathematicians usually write this polynomial is A_n * x^n + A_(n-1) * x^(n-1) + ... + A_2 * x^2 + A_1 * x + A_0 Where the A_i symbols (A_i is intended to represent A with a subscript i, the letter A indexed by i) represent constants (i.e. numbers like 0, 1, -3, 7/4, 34.334 and pi) and n is a positive integer. The famous quadratic polynomial I mentioned above in my examples is a special case of these very common polynomials when n = 2. In these polynomials, by the way, n is called the "degree" of the polynomial. Thus, a quadratic polynomial has degree 2. Polynomials of degree 3 are called "cubic polynomials," of degree 1 are called "linear expressions" (they are technically also polynomials, but nobody calls them that) and of degree 0 (i.e., there are no variables, only the A_0) are called "constants." Yes, constants are also a special case of polynomials. In fact, a constant by itself is also a monomial, but we usually never call them that, in order to avoid confusion. Summarizing, a monomial is a single mathematical expression that contains only multiplication and exponentiation. A polynomial is a sum of monomials, so you can think of it as a mathematical expression that only contains the operations of addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. I hope this explanation helped. Please write back if you have more questions, or if you would like to talk about this some more. - Doctor Jordi, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

All the Republican presidential candidates have promised to pledge their support around the eventual Republican nominee. But after a messy election, and some ambiguity over whether or not Trump would pursue a third party run, Trump isn't the only one who may break that promise.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Marco is having second thoughts on whether or not he would be able to support a Trump presidency:
Florida Senator Marco Rubio said Saturday that "it's getting harder everyday" to envision his support for the eventual Republican nominee for president if the choice is Donald Trump, according to ABC News.
Rubio, who has struggled to garner support for his nomination during the election campaign, made the comment after being asked if he would support Trump if he were the Republican nominee for president.
"I don't know," Rubio began. "The fact that you're asking me that question, um… I still at this moment continue to intend to support the Republican nominee, but it's getting harder everyday," he added.
Does that mean he'll be backing Hillary instead? That would be a bit of a stretch. Or will he do what so many disgruntled Republicans did in 2012 and just sit this one out?

The ATO has published a Decision Impact Statement in relation to the decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court in FCT v McWilliam [2012] FCAFC 105; 2012 ATC 20-339.
The case concerned the question of when a taxpayer acquires a "right" under an employee share scheme for the purposes of former Division 13A of ITAA 1936. Specifically, the issue before the Full Court concerned whether the taxpayer acquired a "right" under an employee share scheme upon acquiring a right to require the employer to issue options to purchase shares, or whether the employee acquired that right only upon the issue of the options under the employee share scheme
On 1 July 2003, the taxpayer commenced employment with the company. No formal employment contract was executed. However, a draft contract given to the taxpayer prior to him starting work included a term granting him a specified number of options
The Full Court relied on the finding of the Tribunal that the taxpayer had acquired the options on 1 July 2003. On that basis, the Commissioner's appeal was found by the Court to be incompetent as not being on a question of law.
The Full Court also concluded, in the alternative, that if the taxpayer did not acquire the options on 1 July 2003, he nevertheless obtained a contractual right to obtain the options to the shares in the company and the contractual right was a right for the purposes of Division 13A.
The Decision Impact Statement states as follows:
"The decision of the Full Court was based on the findings of fact made by the Tribunal.
The Full Court's conclusion that if the taxpayer did not acquire the options on 1 July 2003, he nevertheless obtained a contractual right to obtain the options to the shares in the company and that was a right for the purposes of Division 13A, appears predicated on a conclusion that the right to the options was unconditional and not subject to a future event. A conditional right to an option of the kind considered by the Full Court in Fowler v FCT [2013] FCAFC 69 will not be a Division 13A right.
Division 13A has been repealed so the case has little ongoing significance."

Yes, there are various types of payday debt management software programs available out there in the market. But, since you are already in debt and are looking for a tool that can help you manage the same, you obviously do not want to spend a fortune just to purchase debt management software for pay day loans. Luckily, there are several free and inexpensive options also available. An easy way is to use trial versions. Following is a brief rundown on how to select the best software for this purpose.
Payment Planning
Even if it is trail-version software, you are advised to make sure that the program comes with payment planning features. The software must be good enough to help you calculate your monthly payments to your respective lenders in a way that should allow you to pay off all your payday debts within a specific period of time. In case of payday loans, the longer you wait, the higher amount of money you have to repay. Therefore, try to keep the target time period as short as possible.
Payment Reminder
Once you decide about how much money you are going to pay every month to which payday lender, it will be great to use a software program that also reminds you about those payments in advance. If you
are going through a complex financial situation and you have a lot of debts to handle, the payment reminder feature will prove to be a great help for you.
Try To Get Coupons And Special Deals
If none of the trial version software programs that you come across look like a decent solution to manage your payday debts, you can consider buying a premium software program, but since new software can cost you hundreds of dollars, which is obviously something you cannot afford, you are advised to visit various computer stores and find out if there are special deals or manufacturer's coupons available on the software programs you want to purchase. If yes, try to take advantage of those deals and coupons. If you do your research thoroughly, you might be lucky enough to buy a good software program at the fraction of its real market price.
Evaluate The Programs Before You Buy
When it comes to buying payday debt management software, you must evaluate the program thoroughly before you pay for it. The best way to do this is by using the trial version first. If you are satisfied with its performance and find it easy to use, you can then consider purchasing the same.
The best software for this porpoise however is the one that does not just help you manage your payday debts, but also helps you get a clear picture about your overall financial health so that you can make your debt payment planning accordingly.

Lately I have had a few reminders of what I am about to chat about. It's a bit unnerving when people ask "When are you planning to retire?" and I answer with "I'll never retire, I like work too much!" that covers the fact I probably won't be able to retire financially. But I guess it makes light of a serious subject and one I have to try hard not to think about too much.
Like a lot of people I didn't worry much about retirement, putting cash away and anyway I keep hearing stories of people losing money overnight on the stock market and their portfolio value plummets again…
The reminder for this post, listening to people in business chatter away about how things have gone, what they will do when the time comes to retire, how they might sell their asset and in one case a lady who had sold her business, watched it fade fast into obscurity so she bought it back and is building it up again.
So what will you do, sell the business, put a Manager in to run it, expand it, resize it etc? All with the aim of having a nest egg to retire on.
If you do sell, will what you have the cash 'invested' in provide for your needs in retirement? How much will you need?
If you build up the business and put in a Manager how will that work out? Will the amount you need to take out hurt the business? Will it be run as you set it up or better? Will things fall in a heap and you need to rescue it… will you want to rescue it!
Lots of great questions in need of great answers. Hopefully your Accountant can set you straight, or at worst your own figures will project a rosy future for you. Lets face it, in the current economic situation there is little to smile about when the notion of retirement looms large in our thoughts. Unless of course you have an asset which keeps on giving.

Most of them agreed– winter would be mild, and at times unseasonably warm, with little snow. While that may be a bummer for snow-lovers, it's a great thing for everyone who loves to play outside! This fall and winter is going to be a great one for PLAY, and today, I'm sharing my 5 favorite ways to play in fall and winter (with a few tips on where to play in Kansas City, too)!

Unwrapping the Gift
I listened to the pitter-patter of the rain on the skylight, in the large hall outside the room. I had so much to be thankful for.
My dependable workhorse of a body has been recovering rapidly this week, but I have found that I have needed to ease it into the day slowly since surgery on Monday morning. So I lay quietly, thinking, and drifting in and out of sleep for quite a while as the rain tap-tapped gently up above.
How often over the past five days, I had imagined the rooms of this house, thinking of being back here, where I belong. Like a clock whose pendulum has stopped it's rhythmic swing, it was as though the heart of the house had stopped beating when I left on Sunday night. The dishwasher still held the same full load of dishes waiting to be washed that I had loaded last weekend. Paul doesn't know how the dishwasher works and had been too distracted anyway this week. It was as if time had temporarily stood still in some ways.
Brenda slept on downstairs, and Paul upstairs, as I slowly slid myself off the couch and threw a sweater over my shoulders, slipped into my Birkenstocks and padded out into our sun porch. I creaked into a floral, cushion padded, wicker chair and drank in the view.
Although the sky was cloudy and gray, trees of every shade of green, from verdigris to viridian, nodded and swayed as the morning shower breezed through their leaves; giving them a Saturday morning scrub.
"How much can happen in a garden in just five days," I thought. The dishwasher may have been frozen in time, but the garden hadn't been. While I was gone the scarlet poppies had burst from their tightly rounded pods. I am amazed at this miracle every year. How does God do that? The peonies too, deep burgundy and creamy pink, had unfurled their petals in glorious and decadent beauty.
I thought of how rarely I enjoy this room. I am usually just "passing through."
One of the gifts that God deposited in me is stamina and energy. It is also my greatest hamartia: my tragic flaw.
I realize that a gift is given to cherish and use; to steward. I have allowed my gift to use me.
Later in the day I picked up the Henri Nouwen book I received for my birthday and which I wrote about recently, Home Tonight. Henri shared a quote that seemed so apropos:
Rabbi Levi saw a man running in the street, and asked him, "Why do you run?" He replied, "I am running after my good fortune!" Rabbi Levi tells him, "Silly man, your good fortune has been trying to chase you, but you are running too fast."
From Sabbath: Restoring the Sacred Rhythm of Rest byWayne Muller, 1999, Bantam Books, New York, p.48.
Susan quoted our friend Ellen already this week, who wisely said to me, "Unwrap the gift. Let God create in you."
I am relaxing into him and allowing him to do just that.

Glad you are home Belinda and on the mend. I to know the experience of opening the gift and emerged from a time of hospital stay and healing with a gift of "rest in me I am your comforter". Blessing on this new day and Sunday.
- Dave Hingsburger said...
Oh, welcome home! I have been waiting, expectantly for your return to the world of blogging. I hope you spend much time snuggling in blankets and snoozing whenever you want to ... you are home, but take good care of yourself.
- Susan said...
Welcome home, Blog Princess. It's so good to have you back where you belong - right here on the pages of WHS - and with such a good "first post". I'm looking forward to sharing in more of the fruit from your "time apart".
- Deidra said...
I'm so glad to hear you're safe at home, all wrapped up, and taking it easy. May God bless you as He heals and recreates in you.
Henri Nouwen is so very profound. I need to hear that passage today. Blessed Sabbath to you this day.
- Marilyn said...
Thanks for this insight on gifts and giftings! It's an interesting perspective to ponder and a great addition to my thought-pool on the subject. (I LOVE when that happens!)
And thank you for adding at least 3 new words to my vocabulary! :-)
- Belinda said...
Oh, Marilyn (yes, again! You always have me saying that.:)) THREE new words? Aha--perhaps the shades of green. :)
Thanks to the dear friends who commented above: Julie, Dave, Susan and Deidra. I am blessed beyond belief in this good day.
- Night Owl said...
Dear Belinda,
Welcome home. I am so happy to hear of how well you are recovering from you, yourself! It's a gift I refuse to ever take for granted again.
I sent you a little "get well" mail. I hope it gives you another smile. I love your smile. :)
Your surroundings are beautiful, imagined as well as real, I bet! Well you write of them in such a way that I feel as though I am there. :)
And wow, a skylight? I miss our old house only for the reason of missing the skylight it had. I love how rain dances on skylights. :)
Love and hugs,
- Belinda said...
Hugs back to you, dear Night Owl. I will take a photo tomorrow of our garden for the blog. It is utterly beautiful right now and I can actually sit and enjoy it. Today Paul surprised me with a bejewelled coloured glass hummingbird feeder with wind chimes hanging from it, which he has installed in "my" little patch of garden. He also surrounded my garden with copper moon lights that will shine for six hours each night. I can't wait to see them tonight.
- Night Owl said...
Oh, wow your new hummingbird feeder sounds gorgeous too! I've been wanting a bird feeder. But my neighbour has a lot of pigeons in his, and I don't really like pigeons. I like smaller birds better. Let me know if you see any hummingbirds! :)

Science, Politics, and Global Warming
When policy and science collide in the Bush administration, it's like an 18-wheeler smashing into a Yugo. Science doesn't survive, as witnesses (including Rick Piltz, formerly of the federal Climate Change Science Program) told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform yesterday.
Part of his job, Mr. Piltz said, was to compile periodic assessments of government climate research for the Congress. "This report has essentially been made to vanish by the Bush administration," he said.
The testimony coincides with the release of a report that documents and criticizes the administration's "widespread political interference in federal climate science." The Union of Concerned Scientists surveyed climate scientists, with disturbing results.

- A kinda spooky story, but if you don't care about that sort of thing you have a heck of a nice project car! I don't see why it would need much more than a new bumper, a thorough detailing, and a comprehensive going-through mechanically to show it as a survivor.

I bought this car from the son of the original owner. The owner passed away while driving this car back in 1971. The car went off the road and ended up on top of some rocks. There is some dents in the bumpers and the solid floors from the recovery effort. It was taken home and parked in the garage and forgotten about for 38 years.The son now in his late 70s decided it was time to sell it as his health was deteriorating. I brought the car home on a flatbed and couldn't believe the people that stopped at a traffic light to comment on the fact that the car was complete and still had the 1971 plates on it. One guy even commented that this car was only on the road for 5 years. I have the car in pieces now and i'm doing a frame off restoration. This car had seat covers on it from day one. It has 56000 miles on the 6cylinder 2spd powerglide. Had no problem starting it.Will keep you updated on the restorations.

Reds top Astros
Updated 12:01 am, Saturday, September 1, 2012
Jay Bruce had a three-run homer, and Zack Cozart added a two-run shot to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the host Houston Astros 9-3 on Friday night.
Cozart's home run gave the Reds an early lead before consecutive homers by Fernando Martinez and Matt Dominguez tied it at 2-all in the fourth inning.
Chris Heisey singled in a run in the fifth to put the Reds on top, and Bruce connected for his 28th home run later in the inning to cushion the lead.
It's the fourth straight win for the NL Central-leading Reds. The loss wraps up a dismal August for the last-place Astros, who have dropped six straight and went 5-22 in the month.

Pretty soon, Dan Gilbert will own all of Detroit.
The founder of Quicken Loans, worth an estimated $1.9 billion and ranked No. 250 on the Forbes list of Richest Americans, has been buying up tired office buildings all over downtown Detroit and spending millions to help revitalize the city's urban core. So far, he has purchased 15 buildings, totaling 2.6 million square feet of commercial space, and three parking structures for a combined 3,500 parking spaces. They are now home to -- among others -- about 7,000 employees of Quicken Loans and its related family of companies.
Now, the 50-year-old Gilbert is making another big move, announcing plans to buy a downtown casino-hotel a few blocks from his company's headquarters. Gilbert's Detroit-based gaming partnership, Rock Gaming, said one of its affiliated companies, Athens Acquisition LLC, has entered into an agreement to acquire a majority interest in Greektown Superholdings Inc., owner of the Greektown Casino-Hotel located in downtown Detroit.
Casinos and entertainment are already well-known to Gilbert, who recently opened Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland and is preparing to open two other gaming sites in Ohio. He also owns the Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena.
"A primary focus of our investment strategy over the past few years has been on urban casino development in large Midwest cities, along with significant real estate investment and development in those cities," said Rock Ventures CEO, Matt Cullen, a close associate. "With a substantial focus on downtown Detroit, the Greektown opportunity could not be more in the epicenter of our business and civic interests," Cullen said.
Gilbert said his company's plans are still in the early phases. "However, we envision significant investment in the Greektown Casino-Hotel, as well as the enhancement and growth of the existing entertainment district." The plan is to connect Greektown's nightlife scene with other areas on the upswing in downtown and Midtown.
Greektown Casino takes in about $350 million a year in revenues, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board, which must approve the deal. Gilbert plans to buy controlling interest from a group of hedge funds and investors that bought it out of bankruptcy in 2010. Caesars Entertainment, which partnered with Rock Gaming in Ohio, will play no role at this property, Gilbert said.
There are two other casinos in downtown Detroit. MGM Grand Casino is the largest, with revenues of $554 million through November. Marian Ilitch, who with her husband, Michael, founded pizza chain Little Caesar's, owns the third casino, MotorCity Casino. It had about $420 million in revenues through November. The Ilitches, worth $2.7 billion, are ranked No. 151 on the Forbes Rich List. They also own the Detroit Red Wings. Mike Ilitch owns the Detroit Tigers.

THERE was a very interesting and thought provoking meeting of intellectuals joined by media men and women from thirty countries in Africa held in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa last week.
Organised by the African Union (AU) Leadership Academy and the Chinese Zhejiang Normal University, a select group of intellectuals and media people from African countries had convened as an AfricanChinese Think-Tank Forum to deliberate poverty alleviation in Africa.
I was invited to this forum at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa. It was a lively meeting, officially opened by the Chinese Foreign Minister, Comrade Wang Yi flanked by a top official of the African Union (AU) Mr Moussa Faki Mahamat.
Featuring in the meeting were the thoughts of Chinese leader, Xi Jinping reflected in his book, 'Up and Out of Poverty' which tackles, among other issues; eliminating poverty, industrial development and developing big time agriculture.
Among remarkable contributions at the forum was the address of a special Chinese ambassador assigned to China-Africa cooperation, Ambassador Zhou Yuxiao.
Said part of Ambassador Yuxiao address: "Industrialisation and agricultural modernisation is only way to development in Africa. "I am pretty sure that you will agree to the point that development is a golden key to poverty alleviation while industrialisation and agricultural modernisation is the only way to development."
This assertion by the Chinese envoy became a catalyst and curtain raiser to the think-tank forum debate on fighting poverty that took place at the African Union (AU) headquarters.
As I followed the debate among fellow delegates, I became increasingly intrigued by the fact that Africa has common problems towards poverty alleviation especially the reality that Africa is, by and large, peasant inhabited-where most people rely most heavily on agriculture.
In my own country, Tanzania, where a clarion call these days is towards the industrialisation of the country - the question demanding a correct answer is, to my mind - where to begin the process of industrialisation.
As I followed contributors at the forum, most of them were remarkably agreed on the need for mechanised and irrigation agriculture in Africa.
A Tanzanian delegate, Prof Humphrey Moshi most emphatically made the point for irrigation agriculture, complementary to mechanised agriculture saying this could be one way towards poverty alleviation because depending on rains alone was "catastrophic".
Another point which rose from time to time at the forum was that mechanised agriculture as one way towards poverty eradication. It was also one point that most delegates at the think-tank forum favored because, they argued, most young people run away from the villages in Africa's rural areas because tilling that land by handhoe is "back breaking".
"The reality is these young people in Africa run away from rural to urban areas because of the poor means of agriculture. "Had there been better tools for agriculture such as tractors, and other modern farming equipments, the youth exodus from villages into towns to ride motor cycles for transport business would not have been as alarming," said one participant at the thinktank.
Africa and China could make best allies for development unlike Africa's early associates in the era of colonialism, it was thus observed at the seminar. "Common development is fundamentally different from western colonial plunder of the past and does not today constitute an agenda of these former colonial masters of Africa.
"By taking common development as their value pursuit and bringing their political mutual trust and economic complementarities into full play, China and Africa will make the difference in fending for the poor.
"Their respective advantages, such as the immense natural resources in Africa and modern technology in the hands of China could be of mutual advantage between Africa and China," it was further observed.
Therefore, what I picked from the AfricaChina Think Tank Forum in Addis Ababa that could be beneficial to my country's current drive towards industrialisation is that modernised agriculture via mechanisation and irrigation should be priority number one in the Tanzanian Government debut towards industrialisation.

Local participation, local ownership
Participation of local communities in the development, implementation and even evaluation of aid interventions is increasingly recognised as an essential ingredient for fostering local ownership. A new participation framework, piloted in Malawi's health sector, points the way forward.
The framework is a matrix that helps development professionals analyse participation across projects, programmes or policy cycle at its different stages. The rows of the matrix define the stages of the project, notably its design, implementation, and monitoring. The columns identify the specific forms of participation, who participates in each form (and whether they do so individually or collectively), their motives, what factors determine the effectiveness of participation, and the results of this participation.
An advantage of this framework is that while it can be applied to examine participation in a donor-financed programme, it can also be used more generally, for instance in relation to participation in the planning, delivery, and monitoring and evaluation of a service. It provides a convenient summary and checklist for representing varying forms of participation, and for supporting the assessment of causal links.
A pilot application of the framework, funded by NORAD, was applied to the health sector in Malawi. This pilot showed that the framework could provide informative findings for policy makers on the nature of participation. One of the key findings is the importance of rooting any participation in existing social organisations and networks.

|Salty Grips are a lot like the grip of your favorite fly fishing rod. (Courtesy of Salty Grips)
A lot of golfers love to fish. Some love fishing so much, they think about swinging a golf club while they're casting their line. Such was the inspiration of Mark Button and Whitfield Flowers, two golfers who loved the feel of the cork grips on their fly rods so much, they set about crafting putter grips out of cork.
Thus was born in 2012 Salty Grips, a line of putter grips made from sustainable Portuguese cork.
Why cork? According to Salty Grips, the answer is several-fold.
First, cork is tough. Although it can be brittle before it's fitted onto the putter shaft (don't try to bend it), cork is resilient, dirt- and oil-repellant, and restorable to original condition with a light rub of fine-grained sandpaper.
Second, cork is remarkably good at conducting vibration. Salty Grips transmit very subtle differences in feel between off-center and center-struck putts immediately to your hands.
Third, according to the company, the light weight of cork, compared to rubber, is good for control. This one I'm less convinced of. The 40-gram weight of the mid-sized Salty Grip makes it the lightest mid-sized grip on the market. For some golfers, this may make it easier to "flip" the putter head. However, one could always add a counter-weight in the butt of the shaft before installing the Salty Grip to offset the lighter grip.
Fourth -- based solely upon my own observation -- if your putter is relatively light to start with, the Salty Grip just might make it buoyant enough to keep it afloat if you get mad and throw it into a pond. The oversized Salty Grip would be especially useful in this predicament.
Salty Grips, which come in mid-sized ($35) and oversized ($40) versions and can also be customized ($6 extra), do impart a novel, and ultimately finely tuned, feel to your putts. The sizing options both help counteract the flipping concern noted above, as they work to neutralize your hands and wrists during the stroke.
The cork is unexpectedly resilient to dirt and grime. I installed the mid-sized Salty Grip on my favorite putter a month ago, and it still looks brand new after over a dozen rounds.
A side effect of this dirt-resistance does bring is slipperiness, compared to rubber grips. This is the one aspect of the Salty Grip that took some time to get used to. My first instinct was to grip the club more tightly in response to the smooth texture. But I soon found that a somewhat counterintuitive looser grasp improved feel and stroke consistency. Now, when I go back to the newer super-tacky rubber grips, it feels like they are catching or sticking on my hands, and every tiny twitch or twist feels magnified.
The Salty Grip struck me as gimmicky when it arrived on my doorstep. But I took the plunge and put it on my tried-and-true putter. Within a few putts on the practice green and in the following round—in which I nailed a couple key putts on my way to breaking 80 for the first time this year—it had won me over.
The only lingering problem is that every time I putt, I crave a glass of wine.

I really liked Chip Chandler's article about J.D. Souther. He's probably one of the least known Amarilloans who made it in show business.
Since I did not grow up in Amarillo, I probably should not attempt to name the famous people from here who made it in showbiz. But since I have lived here 38 1/2 years, and will stay here since I have burial plots, I figure I can try.
John David Souther went to Tascosa, and I remember hearing about him, his music, and song-writing abilities long before we moved here. When his mother passed away, I was Randall County Justice of the Peace who conducted the inquest. The APD officer to whom I talked did not know who J.D. Souther was.
I thought it was interesting that he got the job on the TV show "Nashville" during a lunch with the show's creator, whose husband is T-Bone Burnett. T-Bone is the same Terry Burnett, who graduated in 1965 from Paschal High School in Fort Worth - one year earlier than me.
I think of all other famous showbiz people from Amarillo (Carolyn Jones, Ron Ely, Cyd Charisse, Ann Doran, Terry Stafford, Lacey Brown, Jimmy Gilmer of The Fireballs, etc.) I have probably missed some, but I always wondered why Cyd Charisse or maybe others never embraced Amarillo as their hometown.
I realize when you leave your hometown to pursue a career, be it in showbiz or someother endeavor, you might have a tendency to forget your past.
I grew up in Fort Worth from the fourth grade until I entered the Air Force in July 1970. We have had many important personalities from "Cowtown." Just in my class of 1966 at Paschal we had Jeff Newman, Major League baseball player and coach. In fact, he was coach with Mike Hargrove, of Farnsworth and Perryton fame, with the Cleveland Indians. Another was Jimmy Rutledge, lead singer of Bloodrock. If you remember the song "DOA" or "Dead on Arrival" with the ambulance sirens in the background, you know who I mean.
I just think you should always embrace your past, because it is a part of who and what you are.
I was born in California, and I am always proud of that fact. I lived two years in my dad's hometown of Stuttgart, Arkansas, when I was five and six. Then it was back to California in Garden Grove for second and third grades. We moved to my mom's hometown of Fort Worth for the fourth grade and stayed there. We ostensibly moved there because my mother wanted my sister and me to grow up with grandparents. My paternal grandmother was killed in a traffic accident less than three months after I was born in August 1948, and my paternal grandfather was also killed in a traffic accident on my dad's 30th birthday in 1952.
My maternal grandfather was a Fort Worth police officer, who walked the downtown beat in the 1920's-1940's.
So, I have moved around somewhat, but after getting out of the Air Force in July 1974 we moved here to Amarillo, and I am very proud of this city and what it has meant to my career.
Remember, we have had numerous folks from this town who have made it big in showbiz, politics, business, or whatever.
George Strait always has to sing "Amarillo by Morning' during his concerts. Thanks, Terry Stafford for loving your town so much to write a great song about her.

(Reuters) - New York's attorney general on Wednesday said he still had concerns about a broad multi-state settlement to resolve allegations of mortgage abuses, keeping open the question of whether he would sign the pending deal.
In response to reporters' questions about the negotiations, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said: "My concern with that has always been to make sure that we're not releasing claims that obviously now are even more important to me because I'm investigating them."
Late on Tuesday President Barack Obama announced the creation of a new unit at the U.S. Justice Department to coordinate inquiries into abusive home-loan lending and the pooling of risky mortgages that sparked the housing crisis.
Schneiderman was tapped to help lead the unit, prompting speculation that the new position was partly aimed at persuading him to join the settlement.
That announcement comes as state and federal officials near a deal with top U.S. banks to resolve claims of misconduct in processing foreclosures.
In exchange for up to $25 billion of relief to homeowners, including principal reduction on troubled loans, the banks will put behind them potential government lawsuits about improper foreclosures and abuses in originating and servicing mortgage loans.
As talks dragged into their second year, states including New York criticized the direction of the negotiations and said the proposed deal released the banks from too many claims and did not provide enough relief to homeowners.
State and federal negotiators are trying to get as many states as possible on board, to create a nationwide mechanism to help homeowners and to aid the housing recovery.

New Product Coming Soon: Gift Wrap
I have been searching high and low for a place to get custom gift wrap printed as a new product to add to my new stationery collections.
Leave it to Spoonflower to come through with a limited offering of custom gift wrap printing! These rolls are huge and printed beautifully, so I'm hoping they add this service to their regular repertoire.
I want to start out with two Christmasy/wintery prints.
Then I want to add gift wrap from my butterflies, leaves and fish collections too.
I'm hoping to offer folded sheets of gift wrap as a regular product, rather than rolls, so they are easier to ship to you. I can print 13×19 sheets of paper on my printer, so I will likely offer 11″ x 17″ folded sheets, which will work great for smaller gifts.
I'm really excited about developing this idea, so I'll let you know as soon as my new gift wrap designs are available. Thanks for stopping by.

Some meaningless stupid stuff I saw on You Tube made me mad. Kind of gets filed in the bad pet owner category. Somehow this raises peoples' hackles more than the bad parent dealio, probably because you can just take away someone's dog and basically fix the situation, whereas in the deep dark reality of actual problems, nobody wants to talk about it because there is no way to fix it.
I just was mad so I don't want the stupidity of my anger to bee out in the open.
Continue reading 'Cobags of the Week'
Oh lord this is so horribly right and wrong.
PS: Insanely inbred purebreeds are kind of sad. Also dog breeders can be so dog racist it is unbelievable. They would have you believe that black colored pugs and fawn colored pugs have different personalities and temperaments even though coat color is controlled by a single gene in pure-bred pugs. I guess it is always possible that COAT COLOR GENE 1 is right next door to PERSONALITY MODIFIER GENE 1, but as a sane person, I doubt it. It is fun listening to all the bullsh*t about why this dog or that dog's ears or tail "needs" to be chopped off for "health" reasons. HELLO! Obviously, we are guilty as the next chunderwaffle for buying Smokeywagon, but he really is so goshdarned cute! Case closed!
if dudes in trucks with plastic nads feel the same way? It could explain a lot.
To pique your desire to click:
"Threatening a rubber hand that you feel is yours elicits a cortical anxiety response"
For aif, as the sea of chunder leaves its wrack of muffins 'pon his threshhold.
Simply stated, the libertarian denies the existence of "society" and "the public." If this sounds outlandish, consider the following observations by three prominent libertarians. First, Margaret Thatcher: "There is no such thing as society – there are individuals and there are families." Next Ayn Rand: "There is no such entity as 'the public,' since the public is merely a number of individuals." Finally, Frank Chodorov: "Society is a collective concept and nothing else; it is a convenience for designating a number of people."
The implications of these pronouncements are radical in the extreme, for if there is no such thing as "a public," it follows that there are no "public goods" or "public interest," apart from summation of private goods and interests. Moreover, if there is no society, it follows that there are no "social problems," there is no "social injustice," and there are no "victims of society." The poor presumably choose their condition; poverty is the result of "laziness" or, as the religious right would put it, a "sin." There are further implications. Since there is no such thing as a "public," taxation for the support of such "so-called" public institutions as education, libraries, the arts, parks and recreation, is coercive seizure of private property, or "theft."
Refutation of this keystone of libertarianism is simple and straightforward. If we can cite cases in which advantages to each individual harms the interest of all individuals, and conversely that harm to each individual benefits all individuals, then, by distinguishing "each" and "all" we have demonstrated the existence of an "all-entity," "society," that is distinct from a summation of "each" individual.
Cover songs I'd like to hear:
Britney Spears-Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop"
Amy Winehouse-Rufus Wainwright's "April Fools"
Paris Hilton-Gary Numan's "Down in the Park"
Justin Timberlake-ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down"
R. Kelly-Unknown's "I'm a frackin pervo molesternozzle and I should be in jail"
OK, I don't know where this is going. I still think I am somewhat serious.
Help a Pinko out in comments?
In response to this, we get this:
Wow. Are we talking about government intervening with something as trivial as this. It's not as if it's some horrible addictive drug. It's not really the role of the government to be preventing these things. The people should be the ones asking the companies to stop it. It's almost as ridiculous as the no trans-fat law in some cities. I mean, eventually, major fast food corps are begginning to cut trans fats out, it all happens without govt. We don't need some ridiculous bill.
So people are totally yanking my chain. I didn't think you could top the last crapwaffle, but oh man, somebody cannot be serious.
Super pretty please cherry on top PRONTO! FULL FRITO MUST REPRESENT!
Because without fuzzy mustard and fuzzy BBQ sauce, chicken nuggets that have kitty heads sticking out of them just aren't the same.
(At least) one kiosk (now out of stock) in internetopiastan offers a plush chicken-kitty nugget box with similar flavoring to the totally unrelated plush squeaky carrot. This flavor tasted like what you would expect plush cat fur to taste like, minus the cat taste.

Original Metabolife 356 with ephedra
Metabolife 356 – Original Metabolife 356 with ephedra
ACTION: Stimulates metabolism.
SOLD AS: Caplets.
INGREDIENTS: Each caplet contains: vitamin E, 6 IU; magnesium, 75 mg, zinc, 5 mg; chromium picolinate, 75 mcg. The proprietary blend (728 mg) includes guarana (40 mg naturally occurring caffeine); ephedra (12 mg naturally occurring ephedrines); bee pollen; ginseng root; ginger root; lecithin; bovine complex; damiana leaf; sarsaparilla root; goldenseal; nettles leaf; gotu kola; and spirulina. Inert ingredients include methocel; silica; croscarrnellose; sodium; and magnesium stearate.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Package instructions advise taking 2 to 3 servings per day at least 4 hours apart and no more than 1 hour before a meal. A serving is determined according to body weight. The directions suggest taking 1 caplet and for each 30 pounds over 120 pounds, adding 1/2 caplet. The manufacturer recommends not exceeding 2 caplets per serving or 8 caplets per day. Within 1 hour of taking a dose, a decrease in appetite and an increase in energy level may occur, according to the manufacturer. Each caplet should be taken with at least 16 ounces of water (e.g., 1 1/2 caplets should be taken with 24 ounces of water). The diuretics in Metabolife 356 require this level of fluid intake. The morning dose should be taken before a high-protein breakfast. All meals and snacks should include healthy, nutritious foods.
WHAT IS IT SUPPOSED TO DO: The research documents notes that Metabolite 356 works more effectively when you eat; therefore, skipping meals is discouraged. Consuming small meals and light snacks between is required to help keep a healthy blood-sugar balance and to avoid hunger. The maker claims that Metabolife 356 increases your metabolic rate, decrease your appetite, and burn fat without the need to diet or exercise. The research challenges that losing weight should never exceed 7 to 11 pounds per month. If you slim down quicker, you are asked to reduce your use of Metabolife 356 or raise your food intake.
COMMENTS: This product has ephedra, that is connected with serious side effects, including death. It also contains a caffeine-containing substance, guarana. This combination is likely to cause anxiety, insomnia, agitation, and other reactions. Individuals anergic to bee pollen should note that this product contains an unknown amount. If you have diabetes and are taking insulin or any antidiabetic medications, consult with your physician before taking this or any product that contains chromium. Chromium is able to lower insulin resistance, alter the type or amount of medication needed to control diabetes, and alter the frequency with which blood-sugar monitoring should be done. If you experience nausea, lightheadedness, gas, or dizziness when taking Metabolife 356, it is suggested that you eat one serving of a low- or no-fat dairy food or soymilk within 10 minutes of taking your dose. If the symptoms subside but do not disappear, reduce your Metabolife 356 dose. If symptoms remain, stop taking Metabolife 356. Do not take Metabolife 356 if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or younger than eighteen years; have high blood pressure, diabetes" an enlarged prostate, heart disease, or thyroid disease; or if you are taking an MAO inhibitor or any other prescription medications. The manufacturer's literature notes that Metabolife 356 has undergone medical safety studies at two independent laboratories and has been tested clinically at two major universities in the United States, although the labs and universities are not named and the results of the studies are not revealed.

20 Minute Millet Crusted Tilapia
My mom used to bake fish fillets in the oven in the colder months. I loved the way the golden smell would permeate our entire home and promise the hot, juicy white fish; crisp on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. That extra layer of crust can be so satisfying and really keeps the juices in.
With this version of the favorite seafood so many of us grew up on, the sensory satisfaction of the mealy coating is combined with the comfort of knowing exactly what you're putting into your body and feeling good about it.

Volatile (Treacherous Chemistry #1) - Avylinn Winter
Author: Avylinn Winter
Add to Goodreads
Length: 72,000 words
The Violinist (Now called Volatile), won a Watty award in 2015 in the LGBT+ category. The Wattys is the world's largest online writing contest hosted once a year by Wattpad.
Like a depressed moth drawn to a wild flame, Chris hoped that flame would brighten his life, not burn him alive.
Chris Sinclair fades into a grey world after losing his mother to cancer. When forced to attend a concert as a last attempt to coax him out of his shell, he discovers that life might not be as bleak as he first thought.
Dante Heron holds the audience between the tips of his fingers and the delicate bow, playing the violin as if every heart is his to command. However, something darker brews behind the façade, and Chris is determined to solve the enigma.
When Chris is offered the job of traveling around Europe with the famous violinist, he surprises himself by accepting. With no idea what awaits him, he's thrown into a world where emotions rule and rules are bent.
They're a perfectly dysfunctional match, but then there's always calm at the heart of the storm.
Author Bio
Raised in one of the cold corners of the world, Avylinn spends her days either wrapped up in a blanket or basking in the precious sunlight. When she can't choose herself, she's holed up in an office working with climate research that has little to do with the worlds and characters she creates in her vivid dreams.
Always the emotional one, she has found her outlet in writing, voicing thoughts, emotions and fears through her characters that feel very much alive to her. And, what began as a hobby soon took more and more time in her life until she realized that she had left her old life behind and entered a new one where her emotions turned into a super power—ready to launch at her poor readers.
She recharges with the help of coffee, cinnamon buns, popcorn and occasionally a healthier alternative.

Review of Volatile: 3.5 STARS
I am so conflicted with this story. I did enjoy what was told and how it was told, but I personally feel that there is so much missing. There are gaps that need to be filled in. Plus there are parts that should of been told another way cause if I was Dante an saw that....my lips would not be on Chris.
Chris is a young man just getting himself back into the world after going through a depressed state do to the death of his mother. His older brother takes him to a concert where Chris is blown away by the violinist on stage. The music brings him a sense of calm, peace, happiness. When approached to go on tour with Dante (the violinist)(keep him company so to speak) Chris is not sure yet jumps on it for the chance just to spend time with this guy that for some strange reason has taken a hold on him. As time passes the 2 attempt to build a friendship, however they both need to first learn one another to do so. Once the words where spoken he hits the road to come back to his comfort zone, his home since Dante tells him to leave. Sadly though no matter how much time passes he can not remove the man that stole his heart from his mind, his body or soul. Will a run during a street concert really change anything between them? Will each of them be fully honest with one aonther about their TRUE feelings?

Unfortunately, I've realized that my most popular movie, Bob Saget Theater: What Would Brian Boitano Do? may come across as a bit racist, because of how I portray Gary Coleman in it. Also, I feel it may be in a bit of poor taste due to Gary's recent death. Therefore I am regretfully deleting it from this website. Let it be known that it got the Daily 4th place award on 5/5/2003, and finished out with a score of 3.75 after 7161 views. 44 people reviewed it.
I still have the source file, so I may repost it one day in the future if I get around to editing out Gary Coleman. Thanks everyone for all the comments, votes, and views you gave my greatest work! Hopefully it will return.
The original author's notes were as follows:
I think I started this around last May on my crappy old laptop, then stopped work for the summer until I could transfer it to my new computer in September, and have been working on and off (more off than on) on it up until now. It's pretty popular with the folks up at Rutgers already (it's on my website), and I think if this does well on Newgrounds I'll make a new series of shorts starring Bob Saget as the hairy, drunken, dirty, river-dancing, Irish bastard he is in this movie. I know the music skips a little bit between scenes, but I can't fix it without redoing most of the movie or sacrificing the synchronization. Anyway, please review it, and/or email me to tell me what you thought of it. Oh, and try watching it very closely, I put that pause button in there for a reason. *cough* Easter eggs *cough*

Congratulations .. !
Finally you have finished writing your book. Now your publisher asks who is doing your book index. Of course you can hire an indexer, or you can create the index yourself. Sometimes creating the back of your book index is much easier than you think … That is my case today.
I have a historic book that has many names, and i want to create the back-of-book index for this book containing only names. You can download the book from this link to check it:
Believe it or not; i have indexed all names in that book just in 10 minutes. The names in my book are all written in bold font, so with the help of the book indexing tool PDF Index Generator; i have commanded it to index any text in the book that has bold font. In short here are the steps that i have followed:
- I have run the program, and i have selected the book that i want to index.
- I have commanded the program to index all bold entries in my book and ignore any other words found inside it.
- The program has started collecting those terms from my book and their corresponding pages numbers. It took less than one minute to do that.
- The program has then showed me the results and gave me many editing options to edit those results. I have just asked it to merge all duplicates in order to merge names having the same spelling but different case sensitivity, like "Ibrahim ibn Sinan" and "IBRAHIM IBN SINAN". This took only a couple of seconds.
- Now i am done. I have then asked the program to write the index to a PDF file. You can check the final index from here:
Marvellous! … If you want to index terms in your book that have a specific font format; like bold entries or italic entries, or entries having a specific font name or size, then i advise following the same procedure. And if you want to index all the names in your book but those names do not appear in bold, you can still index them using PDF Index Generator, as it has two other useful features which can help you do that; the "Include queries" feature and the "Include categories" feature. I will try to explain them in later posts 🙂

In his production work for Action Bronson's Blue Chips mixtapes, Party Supplies (real name: Justin Nealis) uses Eighties MOR samples to add pop snap to Bronson's blunted storytelling. On Tough Love, with help from multi-instrumentalist Sean Mann, Nealis eschews swagger for swooning rhythms, winsome melodies and bubbly beats. It's dance music for introverts.

Wilkins honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award
ABC sports journalist Peter Wilkins has been honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Australian Sports Commission 2012 Media Awards.
The Minister for Sport, Kate Lundy, presented the award for exceptional service to sports journalism at a ceremony at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
"Peter has been a mainstay of our national broadcaster for more than 30 years and over the course of his career he has helped to shape Australia's sporting landscape," Senator Lundy said.
"He is a respected household name among sport fans in this country.
"Peter's enthusiasm for all sport is infectious and he is the ultimate professional behind the microphone and in front of the camera."
Wilkins joins some of Australia's greatest sporting journalists, including the ABC's Norman May, Roy Masters, Caroline Wilson, Les Murray and Bruce McAvaney as a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
ABC Managing Director Mark Scott congratulated Wilkins, describing him as one of the ABC's most experienced ABC News sports reporters.
"Wilko joined the ABC in 1980, the same year as Norman May's much heralded 'Gold, Gold for Australia, Gold'," Scott said.
"He has been presenter, commentator and reporter on both television and radio playing a major role in the ABC's coverage of key sporting events both here and overseas.
"He has also helped break several major sports-related stories. In 2008 he won a Walkley award for Australian Story's coverage of the aftermath of Australian women's eight rowing final at the Athens Olympics."
The Lifetime Achievement Award was one of 14 awards presented for excellence in sports media and sports journalism at the 11th annual ASC Media Awards.
ABC sports journalist Gerard Whateley won Best Coverage of Sport by an Individual (Broadcast Media).
Other ABC nominees included ABC TV for London 2012 Paralympics coverage, ABC Local Radio's Caddie Brain, for her story Going for gold at the Bush Olympic and Caitlin Shea and Roger Carter from Australian Story for their profile of Australian snowboarder Torah Bright.
