Project Title: "Preservation of the Arizona Historical Foundation Lantern Slide Collection"
The Arizona Historical Foundation will clean, organize, repair, and re-house approximately 3,000 glass lantern slides. Often sold in "thematic sets," lantern slides were at one time a near ubiquitous form of audiovisual material, a forerunner of the filmstrip. Due to their size and fragility, however, many have been lost. The Arizona Historical Foundation's collection dates from 1880-1930 and documents Navajo, Hopi, and Apache reservation life, in addition to the area's changing desert and mountain landscapes. This material is in high demand by archeologists, cartographers, hydrologists, conservationists, ethnologists, Native Americans, and historians seeking visual documentation for the history of the American southwest.

At one time, Philadelphia's wealthiest man, Allen generously supported the building of the state house (now known as Independence Hall), the establishment of the Pennsylvania Hospital, and the Academy and College of Philadelphia (now the University of Pennsylvania). This is one of the few surviving images of Allen, and an important part of the story of the United State's birth as a nation. A Loyalist during the Revolution, Allen left Pennsylvania in 1774 for England where he wrote The American Crisis, returning home in 1779.The seminary stands on the site of Allen's home, "Mt. Airy."

The emails may already have reached your in-box: Valued customer, we regret to tell you that your name and email address may be in the hands of hackers.
See also: Create safer email aliases.
All over the country, companies big and small are scrambling to warn their customers in the aftermath of what appears to be one of the biggest data breaches in recent times. But with some simple steps, you can protect yourself from the increased risk of identity theft that can follow a data breach.
The breach occurred at Epsilon, an Irving, Texas, firm that says it sends out 40 billion emails each year in "permission-based" marketing campaigns for corporate customers. These are campaigns that you opt into when you do things such as registering at a company website or writing down your email address on a warranty card.
On April 1, Epsilon announced that an "unauthorized entry" into its giant database had exposed consumers' emails and names to the intruder. It did not name the corporations whose records had been compromised, but in subsequent days it became clear that they included some of the largest businesses in America.
According to the trade publication SecurityWeek, the list includes Target, Kroger, TiVo, US Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Capital One, Citi, Home Shopping Network, Ameriprise Financial, LL Bean Visa Card, McKinsey & Company, Ritz-Carlton Rewards, Marriott Rewards, New York & Company, Brookstone, Walgreens, Disney Destinations, Best Buy and the College Board, the company behind SAT tests for college-bound students.
The companies are contacting customers through emails as well as "tweets" and announcements on their Web and Facebook pages. Generally, the messages stress that only names and email addresses were compromised. There was no loss of sensitive financial information such as credit card or Social Security numbers.
So now what? The immediate danger could be that you will receive "phishing" emails or telephone calls that purport to be from the companies but are actually seeking your personal information.
How to stay safe:
- Don't reply to requests seeking personal information, such as passwords or information on bank or credit card accounts. Even if you're told that your account was comprised — and the Epsilon breach is specifically mentioned — ignore these incoming "notifications." Instead, check out the claim yourself at the company's website or toll-free customer service number that you look up yourself.
- Don't open attachments or click on links in incoming emails that promise to take you to the company's sign-on form. Scammers may be setting up bogus websites under the companies' identities to capture log-in or account information. You should change your passwords, but do this only on the company's own website, which you reach by typing in its name yourself or finding it through a search engine, not by clicking on a link.
- Never use your email address as a log-in ID or password.
- Even if your name wasn't among the list exposed at Epsilon, know this: If you're subject to any kind of data breach you are four times more vulnerable to suffer future identity fraud, with a one in five chance of being victimized within 12 months of that notification, according to Javelin Strategy and Research.
- So if you're notified, or just suspect, that your data has been breached, keep particularly close tabs on your credit report at Annual Credit Report.com, the only place on the Web where you can get your credit reports free with no strings attached.

A critical and devastating new study confirms a link between certain work — farming and vegetable canning included — and an elevated risk of breast cancer. The research was conducted in southern Ontario, and for me, this news hits close to home.
I was raised in Minnesota, and lived on a small farm just fifteen miles from a vegetable canning factory. When reading this study, I immediately thought of Lily, a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer in her late twenties. She and her mother Lidia spent over a decade working in the vegetable canning factory after coming to Minnesota as migrant farmworkers. I vividly remember the desperation and grief in Lidia's voice when she told me the news of Lily's cancer.
In March, we stopped the pesticide industry from pushing a cancer-causing chemical into California strawberry fields. Together, we won an incredible victory when Arysta LifeScience — maker of methyl iodide — pulled its hazardous product off the U.S. market.
Now, we turn to "what's next," the important work of ensuring that strawberries truly get off the pesticide treadmill.
Cancer has taken much too big a toll on my life this year to write this blog with anything but intense urgency, fueled by deep sorrow. The lives of our dear friends, our daughters, our brothers and others are all at stake.
Breast cancer is caused by multiple factors. Scientists don't doubt that exposure to toxic chemicals is part of that causation mix, with carcinogens and endocrine-disrupting compounds — including many pesticides — key among the nasties. Though Breast Cancer Awareness month came to an official close yesterday, we continue the critical work of halting this devastating disease.
This is a global Week of Food Action, and as part of the push, a broad alliance of Christians from around the world has released a set of recommendations for ending world hunger.
Despite best attempts by the chemical industry to use "feeding the world" as moral justification to sell pesticides and proprietary, genetically engineered (GE) seeds to farmers worldwide, members of the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance are calling instead for food and farming systems that embody Christian values of fairness, care for creation and sustenance for generations. Rather than pesticides and GE seeds, this global network of Christians calls for investment in agroecology. Why? Because it works.
This week, PAN International is gathered with governments from across the globe in Nairobi, Kenya, pushing assertive and fair action on chemicals. Our goal: protect the health and well-being of our families and ecosystems the world over.
The auspices for the gathering: it's time to check progress on the Strategic Approach to Integrated Chemicals Management (better known as SAICM), an agreed-upon global plan of action to reduce to a minimum the harm chemicals wreak on health and ecosystems by 2020.

The verse truly reflects what I intend in sending Christmas cards to those we don't see often, although the card is a little smaller than expected.

I use this product to send Christmas cards as I always do annually. This product looks very nice but not size as I thought.

Kosher Meat
|Everyday Meat Loaf with Hidden Vegetables
Adapted from a recipe by Chef Daniel Hollaway
Meat Loaf is the classic American comfort food, and this version is one of our favorites. It is a one dish meal, moist, luscious and healthful, since it is actually loaded with vegetables. (But, Shhh! we won't tell!). We love this with a side of oven fried or mashed potatoes or simple white or brown rice.
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Sauté all vegetables in the olive oil until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are tender. Gently use a wooden spoon or gloved hands to combine with the remaining ingredients just until mixed together. Spoon into casserole dish. Bake at 350 for about one hour, Cool thoroughly in refrigerator, then when ready to serve, "frost" top with ketchup and re- heat. Can be pre-sliced and portioned or sliced at table.
Make this recipe up to 2 days ahead. Can be frozen prior to adding ketchup frosting. When ready to use, simply defrost in refrigerator, slather with ketchup, and re-heat.
To hide vegetables even more, before sautéing, pulse in food processor until well minced, but not pureed. This recipe can also be made in 4 loaf pans.
Yield: Makes approximately 15 -18 servings
Recipe: Kosher, meat

Health and Environmental Effects Research
NHEERL Publications Receive Top Rankings
NHEERL's Atlantic Ecology Division (AED) is working with OARM's Facilities Management and Services Division (FMSD) to develop a demonstration project for hybrid sustainable energy generation at its facility in Narragansett, RI. This project involves rooftop electricity generation utilizing wind and solar energy and is the first project of its kind within EPA. In working with AED's facilities management, FMSD has provided contractual support, funding, and design services.
AED has contracted for the installation and commissioning of a multiple-panel solar array and vertical wind turbine hybrid system. The electricity generated will offset AED's laboratory renovation lighting load. The system will have the capability of switching from electricity provided by the local public utility to that generated onsite, based on sustainable electricity availability. The solar array is designed to deliver 4 kW of energy, and the four vertical-axis wind turbines will generate a total of 4 kW as well.
AED anticipates that this project will help professional engineers and facility managers to understand the engineering complexities driving today's sustainable energy movement. Installation complexities for the AED project include design and installation within the building's structural footprint and accounting for seismic generation and protection of the equipment from coastal elements and storms.

My opponent declares two creatures as attackers. I want to play Act of Aggression to gain control of one of their creatures and so I can have it block their other creature. Is this possible? Is so, during what step do I need to play my Act of Aggression? If I played it during my declare blockers step, would the creature that I now controlled still be attacking me?

Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes, that's fine. You would play the spell during the declare attackers step, after attackers are declared, but before proceeding to the declare blockers step. Then you are free to declare it as a blocker. If you wait for your declare blockers step, it's too late to block with the creature.
The ordering is:
Any time a creature changes controllers, it is automatically removed from combat, so it will no longer be considered attacking you (or attacking/blocking at all if it previously was).
