"The IRS has stated that they will not enforce any penalty tax on someone who doesn't buy insurance."
Oh yeah? Who does the IRA work for? The president, that's who. If he tells IRS to do it, they will. Of course if Romney gets elected, all bets are off.
@Mad Hatter:
"Romney is notorious for telling his audience what they want to hear."
That's how politicians win elections. Can you imagine what would happen to either Romney or Obama if they told their audiences the opposite of what they wanna to hear.
Besides, if you are looking for someone who changes his mind, look to Obama. He has a master flip-flopper. Same sex marriage, for example.
"Romney repeatedly claimed that a new government board was 'going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have.' Not true."
Is true. It's called the 'Healthcare Rationing Board.' Palin (correctly) labeled them as 'death panels.' I guarantee that a 80 year old will not get a heart transplant. Obama hinted at this when he said these folks will be encouraged to go home and take a pain pill.

Please show us where Federal Obamacare, SS, and Medicare are authorized by the US Constitution. Inquiring minds wanna know.
"Just to be accurate, you oppose any program not specifically mandated in the Constitution as you interpret it..."
Generalizations in the Article 1.8 Commerce Clause opens the door for power hungry politicians to amass all power at the federal level. My reading of the Constitution indicates that the Founding Fathers wanted federal power to be limited. Could you show us what those limitations might be?
"Does this mean that if Utah develops excellent programs for its residents, people from other states should move there..."
That would be their choice. And if other states want to keep their citizens they will do something similar.
States see things differently. For example, some allow gambling, others don't.

Unilever's Sara Lee Deal Needs 'Extra Care,' EU Says
Unilever's planned acquisition of Sara Lee Corp.'s body-care unit is being scrutinized with "extra care" by the European Union, Joaquin Almunia, its antitrust commissioner, said today.
"This is a complex case" which will have an impact on a large number of consumers, he said today at a conference in Brussels. This "makes the search for suitable remedies particularly challenging because not all the brands, products, and markets present the same problems."
Rotterdam- and London-based Unilever agreed to buy Sara Lee's shower gel and European detergents business to expand into the higher-growth personal care category as part of Chief Executive Officer Paul Polman's push to double sales. The 1.3 billion-euro ($1.8 billion) deal would add brands including Radox and Sanex to Unilever, the world's second-largest consumer goods company.
"This isn't a huge strategic deal; if it doesn't happen, it's negative for them but it'd be more of an irritation," Julian Hardwick, a London-based analyst at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, said today. "Ultimately what it'll come down to is whether the remedies which the EU demands, which will be some brand divestments, will be so onerous as to be unattractive to Unilever."
The European Commission extended its deadline for the review of the acquisition to Nov. 25, the third time the antitrust regulator delayed the review ruling. The EU sent a formal statement of objections regarding the deal to the companies in August.
"It would not be appropriate to comment on the contents of our remedies proposal at this stage," said Paul Matthews, a spokesman for Unilever.
Unilever's shares rose 1.8 percent, or 37 cents, to 21.50 euros in Amsterdam as of 11:03 a.m. Dutch time, the biggest gainer in the benchmark Amsterdam Exchange Index.

Berbatov will he stay or will he go
I just don't see him going. Carrick was different, he's grown up in England & so will have different goals, but Berbatov knew what he was coming to when he joined us, & he seems to be enjoying being the hero for now. Maybe if he feels like he's not achieving enough this time next year he'd go, but he seems content for now.
As for Barton, if anyone can tame him it's Big Mart, I'm just not sure whether he'd want to...Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
You lot crack me up!
You seem to forget berby WAS playing champions league football before he signed for us. What would you prefer as a professional footballer, be a champions league also ran or seriously compete in the uefa cup and possibly win it?
We werent the only club to go in for him from germany (man utd, newcastle, villa and the scum ) yet he still chose us.
He likes the direction were going in and he loves the fans, team mates and manager.
Besides hes under contract for 4 more years so if we dont want him to go anywhere then he isnt! SIMPLE! Many of you will say that our board couldnt refuse the likes of £20/25/30 million but they saw how dis-jointed and out of shape we were when we sold Carrick. It took us too long to re-organise after he left and it was that period that ruined any hopes of a 4th spot! They know they cant risk that again!
In my opinion Murphy, Mido , Malbranque, Assou-Ekotto and Ghaly out.
Darren Bent, Gamst-pedersen, Wayne Bridge/Leighton Baines, Anton Ferdinand and Phil Jagielka in. That solves all our left sided problems and gives us plenty of cover for our injury prone players.
As for That rent boy Barton, hes a good player but nowhere near good enough to justify his attitude issues. We want people talking about our players footballing abilities, not how they act like spoilt rich chavs! MJ probably could "tame" him but why waste time on that when he should be winning us trophies.

U.S. Commodities: Grains, Soybeans Surge to Highest Since 2008
Corn, wheat and soybean futures jumped to the highest since 2008 after a U.S. government report showed smaller crops and rising demand are eroding global inventories as food prices surge.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture cut its forecasts for inventories held before this year's harvests and said world supplies of the crops will slump 2.2 percent. Droughts in Russia, Ukraine and other parts of Europe and adverse weather in the U.S., Canada and Australia slashed output as the world economy rebounded from the most-severe recession in 70 years.
"There is not one crop you can point to that is without supply problems," Steve Nicholson, a commodity procurement specialist at International Food Products Corp. in St. Louis, said before today's USDA report. "Production is not keeping up with demand, exacerbating the global food crisis."
In other markets, cotton prices surged to a record on mounting concern that global supplies will continue to trail soaring demand. Crude oil declined. The UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity Index advanced 0.3 percent to 1,720.5.
Corn futures for March delivery rose 24.25 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $6.98 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Earlier, the price reached $7.0075, the highest for a most-active contract since July 2008.
Wheat futures for March delivery advanced 11.75 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $8.86 a bushel. Earlier, the price reached $8.9325, the highest since August 2008.
Soybean futures for March delivery rose 16.75 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $14.51 a bushel. Earlier, the oilseed reached $14.5575, the highest since July 2008.
Cotton for March delivery gained 5.29 cents, or 3 percent, to $1.8058 a pound on ICE Futures U.S. in New York. Earlier, the price soared by the exchange limit of 7 cents to an all-time high of $1.8229.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said today that global production will be 115.25 million bales in the year ending July 31, down 0.2 percent from a January forecast, while demand was estimated to be little changed. Output in Central Asia, will be 7.02 million, down 2.1 percent from last month's projection.
"There is no slackening of demand," said Spencer Patton, the chief investment officer at Steel Vine Investments LLC in Chicago. "Day after day, we see cotton moving toward the upper limit."
In the past 12 months, the fiber has more than doubled, the biggest gain among 19 raw materials in the Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index.
Crude Oil
Crude oil declined after an Energy Department report showed that U.S. petroleum inventories rose for the fourth straight week and fuel inventories climbed.
The government said oil stockpiles climbed 1.9 million barrels to 345.1 million last week. Supplies were forecast to increase 2 million barrels, according to the median of 15 analyst projections in a Bloomberg News survey. Supplies of gasoline and distillate fuels, including diesel and heating oil, also increased.
"The market is trying to digest the big builds in today's reports," said Carl Larry, the president of Oil Outlooks & Opinions LLC in Houston.
Oil futures for March delivery slipped 23 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $86.71 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest settlement since Jan. 27.
Commodities settled as follows:
Precious metals: April gold up $1.40 to $1,365.50 an ounce March silver up 0.005 cent to $30.276 an ounce April platinum down $2.50 to $1,859.40 an ounce March palladium down $12 to $826.45 an ounce
Livestock: April live cattle up 0.025 cent to $1.11275 a pound March feeder cattle down 1.325 cents to $1.22925 a pound April lean hogs up unchanged at 91.25 cents a pound February pork bellies up 2 cents to $1.15 a pound
Grains: March soybeans up 16.75 cents to $14.51 a bushel March corn up 24.25 cents to $6.98 a bushel March wheat up 11.75 cents to $8.86 a bushel March oats up 5 cents to $4.245 a bushel
Food and Fiber: March coffee up 6 cents to $2.536 a pound May cocoa up $23 to $3,283 a metric ton March cotton up 5.29 cents to $1.8058 a pound March sugar up 0.34 cent to 31.5 cents a pound March orange juice down 3.2 cents to $1.6745 a pound
Energy: March crude oil down 23 cents to $86.71 a barrel March natural gas up 0.4 cent to $4.044 per million British thermal units March heating oil up 3.71 cents to $2.7689 a gallon March gasoline up 3.18 cents to $2.5260 a gallon
Others: March copper down 5 cents to $4.524 a pound May lumber up $7.30 to $324.50 per 1,000 board feet

Campbell shooting victim identified
James Hills, 47, of 101 Monroe St., has been identified as the man shot to death Wednesday night in the Kirwan Homes. The shooting occurred in a Youngstown Metropolitan Housing Authority parking lot. Police caught up with Hills in a Jean Street apartment, bleeding from his stomach. Hills said a man with a black hoodie on shot him. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center, where he died.
Best thing for Campbell would be to shut down the Kirwan homes. Congressman Kirwan would not want his name associated with what they have become. Maybe change the name to the Tim Ryan projects.

Spring-Dug Parsnips with Seared Sea Scallops
Total Time: 30
Yield: 6 servings
Adapted from Chef Michel Nischan: Dressing Room, Westport, CT. dressingroomhomegrown.com
Login to add to your Recipe Box
Upload Your Photo
- 1 large or two medium spring-dug parsnips, peeled (about 10 ounces)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
- 2 packed tablespoons freshly chopped chervil, plus 6 generous sprigs for garnish
- Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 large dry sea scallops (about 3/4 pound)
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, divided
Heat oven to 375°. In a large saucepan over medium heat, simmer parsnips in just enough water to cover; cook about 15 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes. Remove parsnips from pan. Discard all but a quarter-cup cooking liquid and set aside. Slice parsnips into one-and-a-half-inch-thick strips and lay on a rimmed baking sheet, lightly oiled. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until nicely browned; turn parsnips at least once for even browning.
Using a food processor, pulse parsnips, lemon zest, and lemon juice together, until parsnips break down. With the motor running, add reserved parsnip liquid 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture resembles loose apple butter. Pulse in olive oil and chopped chervil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Warm a large, dry saut

Waterbury Residents made plow driver's duty a little lighter
A big thank you to all of you who gave my son, Rob Carey, a coffee, hot chocolate, a bowl of stew or a sandwich while he was plowing in Waterbury during the Feb. 8-9 blizzard. I don't know your names, but I had to let you know how much I, as a mother, appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Many do not appreciate what these men do. They leave their families to clear the way for others. It's bad enough the streets and weather are dangerous; they also have to deal with the public.

Power Brakes for that 1949 - 1954 ChevroletWritten by on April 11, 2005 Checking Out Walton Fabrications' New Power Brake Assembly
One noticeable difference between hitting the brakes on a late-model car and an old Chevy is the under-floor-mounted master cylinder of the earlier car. After driving a car with swing pedals for so many years, it can feel a little awkward to apply the brakes in a car with through-the-floor pedals.
If you're looking to improve the driving experience of your '49-54 Chevy and aren't worried about completely smoothing the firewall, then Walton Fabrication might have just what you're looking for. Their new Firewall Mounted Power Brake Assembly can easily be installed in an afternoon including running some new brake lines. We recently dropped by as they were fitting one on a customer's '49 Chevy and shot a few photos for you.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The new Walton `49-54 Chevy firewall mount power brake assembly comes with a new booster, master cylinder, and pedal assembly.We started by removing these two braces that run from behind the dash (above the steering column) to the backside of the firewall. The new pedal assembly will provide the bracing.The supplied bolt and nyloc nut was then used to secure the new pedal assembly support to the dash bracket.Here's where you'll need to find a friend to help tighten the nuts under the dash. The front of the pedal assembly was bolted to the firewall plate using the upper two holes. The 8-inch single-diaphragm vacuum power booster was then installed using the lower four holes. The unit is now bolted together to form a solid mount.The pedal was installed using the supplied hardware at its pivot point at the top of the bracket. The adjustable booster pushrod was then bolted to the pedal.

As we look forward to the next 75 years of assisting children who live in extreme poverty, we're pleased to announce a new way for you to increase your involvement with ChildFund: through a nationwide volunteer network.
The ChildFund Action Network (CAN) offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a group of sponsors and supporters (ChildFund Humanitarians) who are passionate about helping children. Friends telling friends is one of the best ways to give voice to the ChildFund mission of helping children break free from the generational cycle of poverty and lead healthy, productive lives.
ChildFund reaches 17.8 million people in 30 countries, yet there are thousands of children enrolled in our programs who are awaiting sponsors — those special people who write and send love across the miles.
Our ChildFund Humanitarians will reach out to their network of friends, family and co-workers to help find new sponsors for children who are waiting for someone to say, "Yes!"
You'll be able to personally share what it means to be a sponsor. When prospective sponsors see pictures and letters from your sponsored child or hear the reasons you support ChildFund, they'll be reassured by this firsthand evidence of the change that sponsorship makes in children's lives.
As a member of the network, you'll seek out opportunities to share ChildFund's mission in your community at local concerts, fairs, club meetings, events at your house of worship, conferences and more. When you join the ChildFund Action Network, you'll receive a tool kit with additional background on ChildFund and tips on how to be an effective ChildFund representative. We'll support you every step of the way, providing child packets that will allow the people you interact with to immediately sign up as sponsors.
To learn more about the ChildFund Action Network, contact our Sponsor Care center at 1-800-776-6767, or by email.
We look forward to working with you to grow our national ChildFund Action Network. We CAN do it!
Translated by Maria Fernanda Peixoto, ChildFund Brasil
Josengleyson "Gleyson" de Lima Maciel, 23, a former sponsored child from Brazil, wrote this testimony in gratitude to his sponsor and the local partner organization that helped him become an educated and successful adult.
I was born and raised in a community called Lagamar, located in the Aerolândia neighborhood in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. It is a suburb of the capital known for its violence and drug use (as well as other situations involving conflicts between organized groups), which oppressed all the residents, who were in the most part deprived of sanitation and other essentials. It was very hard for me and my neighbors, colleagues and friends to deal with this reality. Even with the family support that many of us had, I recall our prospects being minimal and restricted.
The ChildFund Brasil-affiliated project Frente Beneficente para Crianças (Front Charity for Children) rescued me. I cannot imagine how my life would be now without having enjoyed the project's benefits during my childhood and adolescence, always counting on the support of all of the instructors, teachers and others who do this essential work.
The project brings many opportunities to the children and teenagers who are enrolled. Among them are tutoring, school supplies, snacks, professional training, dance and art classes, lectures and workshops that promote education. Those programs made me see life differently and led me to compete in the labor market in a satisfactory way, making it possible for me to achieve a career in administration. It is relevant to note that this project produces professionals with good conduct, ethics and, the most important in my opinion, character.
I feel extremely accomplished for being part of a contrary statistic. By my efforts and through the project's support, I can honor my parents and all my family. For me, these are my greatest riches.
I graduated with a degree in business administration, and I am a professional, registered with the Regional and Federal Brazilian Administration Councils and specializing in financial management and controllership. Also, I'm certified by IFCE-CEFET in intermediate English. I recently purchased a car, and I'm currently employed in a company in charge of the administrative management of condos.
I believe life is a perpetual learning process, and, since I was young, I have yearned for continuous learning. Despite my difficult and turbulent start, everything changed with the indispensable support of the Frente Beneficente para Crianças project and ChildFund Brasil.
I take this opportunity to thank all the people who did — and still do — this excellent work, my family for being my base and especially two people who never stopped believing in me and my potential: my sponsor, Dorothy, to whom I will be grateful for the rest of my life and whom I love, even without ever having any contact in person. I hope she receives this message. I also owe part of my education, efforts and faith to my professor, Silvia Simões. In the name of all of her students, I thank her for her patience, competence, strictness and care.
Finally, I take this moment to say that this chain of goodness cannot stop. Human beings have the possibility to be much better, even with little gestures. With this mindset, I have great interest in being able to sponsor a child and contribute, even with little, to the evolution and development of that child. My reality today is different because I was encouraged by sponsorship.
By Kate Andrews, ChildFund Staff Writer
Laurie Tragen-Boykoff's first glimpse of Nicky stuck in her memory: "He had the look of an old soul in his eyes."
He was 7 years old, and Laurie and her husband had decided to sponsor him through ChildFund (then known as Christian Children's Fund). It was nearly 25 years ago, and they were a young married couple living near Los Angeles. Nicky lived in Kafue, Zambia.
"We weren't upper-class by any means," Laurie recalls, but "the program pulled at my heart." One thing she decided: She would write to her sponsored child. It was important.
At first, Nicky couldn't write to her in English, so they corresponded through interpreters. Still, his personality shone through, Laurie says. "He was an unusually expressive child, filled with joy and appreciation." She learned details about his everyday life, and she kept everything he sent in a manila envelope in her nightstand's drawer.
The letters continued for eight years, as Nicky grew up and eventually was able to write to Laurie in English. During that time, she became a licensed social worker and had a son and a daughter. ChildFund later contacted Laurie to let her know that Nicky's village was healthy and self-sustaining and that the organization would be leaving to work in a village with greater need.
Because ChildFund protects children and sponsors by monitoring all correspondence and not allowing the exchange of personal addresses, Laurie and Nicky had to say goodbye to each other, but they didn't stop thinking about each other
As a teenager, Nicky even went to the U.S. Embassy in Zambia to see if he could contact Laurie and her family. Unfortunately, the embassy's employees said it was too difficult to find them without more information.
Laurie, meanwhile, held on to the manila folder and thought about Nicky from time to time but never imagined she would hear from him again.
One day in 2011, though, when Laurie was making a stop at Starbucks, her daughter Megan called. She said she had received an unusual message on Facebook from a Zambian man named Nicky Mutoka.
"It was all I could do to not scream," Laurie recalls. She gave her daughter very specific instructions about what to tell Nicky, because as a self-described technophobe, Laurie wasn't on Facebook.
Soon enough, Laurie reconnected with Nicky through email, phone calls and even on Facebook. Nicky still lived in Zambia and had progressed a long way from childhood. He was the only one of six siblings to attend college, and he had married a woman named Ketty.
"The sponsorship, for me, meant a lot," recalls Nicky, who is now 32. "I felt so special among my siblings because I had all my school needs taken care of. I still remember my parents never bought me a uniform, a pair of shoes or books during my primary and junior secondary school. I can't forget about this, and my memories are still fresh even if it's over a decade now."
When the sponsorship ended, Nicky says he was fairly discouraged and unsure if he would complete school, but he says that his faith in God gave him courage to continue. Today, after earning a degree in business administration, he is a sales adviser for a bank.
After several months of contact, the two families took a big step; Nicky and Ketty came to California for a visit in 2012.
"California, and particularly Los Angeles, is a great and beautiful place," Nicky says. "There is so much to learn there. I enjoyed myself, had so much fun with my lost friends and family."
"We just seemed to get each other," Laurie says, and friends from her synagogue and neighborhood were drawn to Nicky like a magnet. "People were absolutely blown away [by the story]." Laurie and Nicky's friendship also served to show that sponsorship helps real people, she adds. "People were so reassured to hear that the money went where it was supposed to go."
Today, Ketty and Nicky have a baby son whom they named for Laurie's husband Terry, and Laurie visited them in Zambia this past spring. Both families are so happy to be reunited.
"As a young boy," Nicky says, "I always knew these were very good people and felt strongly attached to this family."

Nicole recently visited our Mexico office, where she met with children in ChildFund programs. This week, she is sharing highlights from her visit. See parts one and two.
When Guadalupe, better known as Lupita, was about 4 years old, a woman from Oklahoma sponsored her. But they had a communication problem because Lupita's mother was illiterate. So, the 4-year-old dictated her messages to a volunteer in her Mexican community. But Lupita wanted to write to her sponsor herself, so she would trace and copy the letters one by one to form words that became sentences that eventually created a letter to her sponsor.
This was a couple of decades ago, and Lupita eventually was able to write for herself as her relationship continued with her ChildFund sponsor until she was 22. Over the years, she wrote about her community (including festivals, holidays and culture) and herself (school progress, family and friends).
Her sponsor also sent Lupita US$1 for Christmas, Easter, her birthday and the day of her saint. Lupita became known as the Dollar Girl in her community, and that dollar was worth so much to her. It was enough to buy a piece of chocolate and also to boost her self-esteem year after year. Lupita, who is now 26, is proud that when she graduated from ChildFund, her sponsor agreed to support another child in her community.
Today, Lupita works as the sponsorship coordinator for one of ChildFund Mexico's local partner organizations a few hours away from where she grew up. The children she now assists remind her of herself a couple of decades ago. Lupita manages a cadre of eight volunteers who work with 660 children.
"Now, I help children who have difficulty writing to their sponsors," she says. "I have to have a lot of patience to help as much as possible, just like I learned with the support of my sponsors." Lupita hopes all of the children in the community will be sponsored one day so they can feel what she felt: the love, the encouragement and the support of a faraway friend.
Communication between sponsors and sponsored children is very important, Lupita says, because you get to know people from other places that you never even imagined existed, with whom you can share traditions, customs, your way of life and how you are developing. Often, that person becomes a part of your bigger family.
She says that her sponsors "always cared about what was happening in my life and always encouraged me to grow personally and academically. They always inspired my confidence and encouraged me to tell them my problems and said that they were there to morally support me."
In addition to the emotional support she received through sponsorship, there was a definite developmental value to her experience as well. Through the various writing exercises and reading letters from her sponsors, Lupita improved her literacy skills and learned to write and express herself clearly.
"It was important because it taught me to write and to learn something new every day that I didn't already know, and then I wanted to learn as quickly as possible so I could write to my sponsors myself," she says.
To this day, Lupita still has all of the letters, postcards and photos her sponsor sent her.

Nicole recently visited our Mexico office, where she met with children in ChildFund programs. This week, she will be sharing highlights from her visit.
Gisela, 13, is the youngest of three siblings. Her parents sew soccer balls by hand for a living, a common profession in this rural community high in the hills of the state of Oaxaca.
It takes about 10 hours to sew one ball, which will bring 11 pesos (just a little less than US$1). With each parent making one ball per day, Gisela's family of five must survive on less than $2 a day. Her parents' hands are badly worn and blistered from pushing needles through the thick leather.
Though she already knows how to sew balls too, Gisela has other dreams for her future. When asked what she hopes to do one day, she replies with a coy smile that she would like to be a kindergarten teacher, not a ball maker. "I want to teach [children] to paint and about using vowels and how to write their names," she adds.
Gisela is shy, but she describes herself as "friendly, respectful, intelligent, honest and affectionate," noting that "these qualities are important for any human being and that, above all, we should treat others well." She sees these qualities in her U.S. sponsors.
Often, Gisela receives letters from the teenage daughter of her sponsor family. Gisela has all of the family's letters and photos safely tucked away in an envelope that she made just for this purpose. The envelope is labeled "Beautiful Details." She has folded and refolded each letter so many times that the paper has worn thin around the crease marks. The photos are a little dog-eared at the corners, and you can see fingerprints all over the matte finish. These are Gisela's treasures, and she keeps them well-guarded.
When Gisela's U.S. friend was taking high school Spanish classes, she sometimes wrote in Spanish, which made Gisela smile because then she could read the letters without the usual translation from ChildFund Mexico's national office. But since Gisela is learning some English in school, she also likes to try to read the letters in English to help her practice. Now, she can pick out words in the letters like "mother," "father" and "blue."
Her sponsor family wrote to Gisela about holidays in the United States like Thanksgiving, Halloween and Independence Day, as well as their daily lives: school, sports, dancing, pets and weather changes. These are all topics Gisela wrote back about as well, but sharing the traditions around Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) instead of Halloween and Mexican Independence Day in September instead of the Fourth of July. In her community, there is a rainy season and a dry season, as well as basketball, volleyball and dancing at festivals. Gisela even has her own animals to look after: chickens, pigs and two dogs.
Through ongoing communication with her sponsor family, Gisela has gained happiness, confidence and a new understanding of a different world of possibilities. For much of the time we spent together, she was reserved and quiet, but when she spoke about her sponsor family, she was all smiles.
By Kate Andrews, ChildFund Staff Writer
Annet Amiret, 21, was sponsored through ChildFund while growing up in Uganda, a politically unstable country at the time. Today, she is studying to become a nurse. In this Q&A, Annet reflects on the value of having a sponsor.
Where did you grow up, and what was it like?
I grew up in a lot of different places. My family had to move from our village when I was 8 years old. I stayed behind to live with a neighbor because my parents wanted me to remain in the ChildFund program. Eventually I had to leave when I was 12 because war broke out. I went to live in Soroti town [in eastern Uganda] with various family members.
How many siblings do you have, and who raised you?
I had six siblings, but one of my older sisters passed several years ago. I'm the youngest of all my brothers and sisters. Because of the instability in Uganda, I was raised by various people, including my grandmother, auntie, older brother and neighbor.
How did your family make their living?
My father is a farmer. He grows peanuts and maize. My mother sells fish in the market.
How old were you when you received a sponsor?
I was 6.
Do you recall particular ChildFund programs that helped you as a child?
I remember my sponsor sent money for a uniform and books. I had no money for it, so it helped then. When I was 9, I received a cow and a few goats, which later helped me with secondary school. It helped me pay for tuition fees, books and after-school tutoring. Unfortunately the goats were stolen from our family during the war, but to this day we still have the offspring from that cow. We still get milk and breed the cows to sell.
My mum also used to attend meetings and training sessions. Some of it was to do with agriculture and farming practices.
I was 8 or 9 when ChildFund built new classrooms at our school and provided desks. I remember before we used to sit on the floor or study under the trees. When it rained, there were no classes.
What changes did you experience after being sponsored?
Sponsorship made life easier because I could remain in school. There were several children that I knew that weren't sponsored who couldn't always go. Things were difficult for them.
Do you have any fond memories of a letter or a gift from your sponsor? How did this person make your life different?
My sponsor never wrote a letter, but they did send money for school uniforms and books.
How long did you attend school, and what do you do now?
I'm studying to become a nurse now in Kampala [Uganda's capital]. I do a combination of attending lectures and working on the wards.
What is your career goal?
I want to work in health care, because if you have your health, you can do anything. People here lack basic information about prevention of diseases, and I want to be part of the group that helps educate people.
Do you have a message for people who are considering sponsoring a child?
I would tell them to go ahead and sponsor. There are very many people with potential that need help to realize their goals. ChildFund gave me a strong foundation and helped prepare me for who I am today.
By Shawn Pennington, Vice-President of Artist Management at BBR Management
Shawn is a child sponsor and the manager of the chart-topping country duo Thompson Square, who partner with ChildFund's LIVE! program.
I'm embarrassed to admit that my whole adult life I've always been "that guy" who would say things like, "Why do we send so much aid overseas? Why do all these celebrities spend so much of their time trying to help those in other countries when we have so much wrong in our own country?" For me, that all changed earlier this year when Thompson Square and I traveled to Lepaterique, Honduras, with ChildFund to visit the children whom we sponsor.
As many know, over the last couple of years, Keifer and Shawna Thompson of Thompson Square have proudly used their celebrity voice in all forms of media, and at every show they help bring awareness and attention to ChildFund International's efforts to help children all over the world. In 2012, we made great strides in getting more children sponsored, but at the end of the year, as we began preparing for the current tour, we really felt that we needed to take the message up a notch. The only way to do that was to go into the field ourselves and see with our own eyes what these children are dealing with.
Due to an always insane travel schedule that Thompson Square keeps, it can be really hard to find a free week to fly around the world and back, so we chose to sponsor children in Lepaterique, which is only a two-and–a-half-hour flight from Atlanta.
What would come in the next few days would be life-changing. Cliché-sounding, I know, but it's true. It's one of those things that you can never really describe to someone and expect them to fully "get it" without experiencing it.
As we traveled from the city of Tegucigalpa towards Lepaterique, it became quickly apparent that we were about to see poverty that many people believe only exists in movies.
Imagine what it would be like to live in a one-room "house" with a family of five and one bed among them. The only way to bathe is a dip in a lake or a stream, the same water in which you wash your clothes, and the same water that is so polluted that you wouldn't dare try and drink it.
Imagine being pregnant and having to spend four hours or more walking one way to get to the nearest doctor, just to wait in line and maybe not get to see the doctor (because there aren't nearly enough of them), and thus have to turn around and walk back home. The government provides vaccinations for children but doesn't have sufficient doctors to administer the shots.
My family signed up to sponsor a 4-year-old boy named Danni. Prior to the trip, I went shopping to buy Danni a few gifts. You cannot even begin to imagine how difficult it is to decide what to buy. There are so many factors that come into play. Some things seem so simple and easy to "fix" to those of us who are much more fortunate. But that is where ChildFund comes into play. They have programs in place to gradually improve the quality of life for these children and their families with a balanced approach.
The interesting thing about the people of Lepaterique is that they appear to be some of the happiest people I've ever met. Even in the shadow of everything that challenges them in their daily lives, only two things matter to them – God and family. Visiting them was quite a lesson in life for all of us on the trip. We should be ashamed of ourselves for complaining about anything!
While we were there in January, an outgoing little boy at the school we visited slipped a note to Shawna that said (in Spanish) "Please help us get computers for our school so that we can learn better." Through some great efforts from our team, we were able to work with an office supply company to get computers donated, and in July we traveled to Lepaterique once again to personally deliver them! Words cannot express the depth of gratitude that they showed us, or the feeling of knowing that our team made a dent, if only a small dent, in improving the quality of life for these children.
Keifer and Shawna were able to visit their sponsored child Emerson again while we were there, and I got to see Danni and meet his entire family! We were all sad to leave. We can honestly say that we have friends there now that look forward to seeing us as much as we do them. I hope that we will return again soon.

Each Christmas, R.B. Wheeler and his wife Fran gave their grandchildren packets of information about a donation they had made in their family's name to touch the lives of children through a ChildFund project.
For more than a dozen years, the Wheeler family gathered to consider existing project needs in various countries where ChildFund works. Then R.B., Fran and the family would pick a few projects (often involving water and education) to fund in the names of all their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jacey Messer, one of those grandchildren, says she didn't always take the gifts seriously when she was young, but the message her grandfather sent each holiday season eventually sank in. Her brother, Jeff Wheeler, suggested to Jacey and their sister Julie that they make a collective donation to a project this past Christmas through ChildFund. After losing both of their grandparents in the past year, the decision was very meaningful, Jeff says. Their gift will expand and equip a school in rural Ecuador where educational opportunities are very limited.
"I felt it was kind of our responsibility," Jeff says, adding that his grandfather "knew at some point that this kind of gift would be more rewarding" than a toy or another present under the tree.
The three siblings, who are now in their 20s and 30s, live in different states and have many responsibilities. Jeff is an engineer in Seattle, and Julie is a nurse in Minnesota. Jacey, a lawyer, works for the family's business in South Dakota and is expecting her third child. Deciding to make a contribution to a ChildFund project as a family was an effective way of making a difference, as well as honoring their grandparents, Jeff says.
Over the years, R.B. and Fran Wheeler, who lived in Lemmon, S.D., sponsored children through ChildFund. They also donated funds for schools in Uganda, Bolivia and Brazil, as well as other projects focusing on health and water needs in Kenya, Ethiopia and Zambia.
Jacey says that her grandfather was "very meticulous about studying up about where his money was going" and that he placed trust in ChildFund's stewardship. He was very interested in providing clean water and education, ideals that he shared with his family, even when they were young. Today, Jacey says she is continuing the humanitarian tradition with her children. Her eldest child, who is 5, is "starting to get it," she says, and Jacey, Jeff and Julie hope to continue the Christmas tradition of funding a ChildFund project.
"What made R.B. and Fran Wheeler even more exceptional is that they wanted their love for children around the world to live on not only through their own children and grandchildren, but also through their estate," explains David Jokinen, ChildFund's bequest administrator. "They realized that they could help the children in ChildFund's programs and still benefit their own family after they were gone — a true win-win arrangement."
When R.B. and Fran passed away last year, the gifts they'd planned for years ago, through their will and via a charitable trust, passed to ChildFund. Today, their generosity and faithful partnership lives on, transforming the lives of children.
"It'll be something we'll have to keep going for them," Jacey says of future Wheeler generations.
You can make a gift to help children that costs you nothing now, by including ChildFund International in your estate plans.
By Kate Andrews, ChildFund Staff Writer
In celebration of the 75th anniversary of ChildFund, we are running a 75-post series highlighting our past, present and future. Today we hear from longtime supporters Sue and David Gossman.
Sue Gossman's church started sponsoring a child through what was then known as Christian Children's Fund in the early 1970s, when she herself was a teenager. As she grew up, went to college and then married in 1976, she continued that sponsorship. Sue and her husband, David, sponsored more children as the years passed, a commitment that continues today.
Now, they support 10 children through ChildFund, and their generosity includes a meaningful Christmas tradition: giving gifts from ChildFund's Gifts of Love & Hope catalog to children and communities in need.
"It really goes back a couple of years," David explains. "It didn't make sense to give large gifts to everybody in the family." In previous years, he and Sue, who split their time between Illinois and Iowa, have chosen items from the Gifts of Love & Hope catalog to give in honor of their three daughters and other family members, but this past Christmas, their loved ones chose gifts themselves. The family gathered in December 2012 at David's parents' 60th anniversary celebration, so David and Sue brought along the catalog.
One daughter, who is a veterinarian and an EMT, picked out a fully stocked health station, and another daughter who likes to sew donated a sewing machine. The Gossmans also like to donate a gift yearly that has a long-term, infrastructural benefit, often assisting a village to grow its own food or have clean water. This year, along with the health station and the sewing machine, the Gossmans donated a water filter, a scholarship for a child in Ethiopia and a starter farm.
"It was a way of saying, 'Hey, this is what Christmas is all about,' " David notes.
Also, through their years of sponsorship, the Gossmans learned how much good even a small donation can do.
"We're always astounded at how far the Christmas and birthday gifts go," Sue says of the monetary gifts the couple gives to their sponsored children. For only $8 or $10, a whole family can purchase clothing and party treats, David adds. One boy they sponsored in Africa since the age of 5 or 6 wrote the Gossmans a closing letter after he had turned 18 and was leaving ChildFund. He'd finished a tailoring course, and he was saving money to buy his own sewing machine to start a business. Sue and David decided to step in and purchase the machine for him.
"He's becoming a part of the community who is giving back in a productive way," David says proudly. "That's a fantastic long-term thing that happens."
One of their daughters, who started a job just after finishing graduate school, now sponsors a child in Africa, so the Gossmans' tradition continues.
"Something as basic as clean water is pretty amazing, that that's considered a gift," David says. "Much of what we discuss in the letters with the children is education — encouraging them to continue with it and work hard on it. It's so important to them."
By Meg Carter, ChildFund Sponsorship Communication Specialist; videos produced by ChildFund interns Sierra Winston and Caitlin Swoboda, with editing by Erin Olsen
One of the best parts of becoming a sponsor through ChildFund is that you make a friend — sometimes for life. We hear from formerly sponsored children all the time about what their sponsor's assistance, gifts and letters meant to them.
Today, we celebrate the International Day of Friendship, an event declared in 2011 by the United Nations, with a few simple crafts to send to your sponsored child and step-by-step instructions on video for friendship bracelets and origami cranes. These crafts are small enough to enclose in a letter, and they represent the bridge you are building between cultures and people.
Knot a Friendship Bracelet
Gather together seven to 12 lengths of embroidery floss in different colors. Include your child's favorites, the colors of her country's flag or the colors of the rainbow. Use multiple strands of the same color — or various shades of color — for wider stripes. Strands should be about a yard long and arranged in the pattern you want to see.
Tie an overhand knot about 3 inches from one end. Tape the knot to a wall, at eye-length, to anchor the bracelet as you work. Other options include clipping the bracelet to a clipboard or taping it to a table.
With the far left strand, tie a half-hitch knot over the adjacent one, making the shape of the number 4. Tie a second half-hitch knot on the same strand.
Continue to tie two half-hitch knots on each of the remaining strands. You now have a band of color, and the floss that began at the far left is at the far right.
Return to the far left strand and knot the next row. Continue knotting until the bracelet is long enough for a child's wrist; then, close it off with another overhand knot. Trim any excess floss, leaving about 3 inches. Knot the ends of the floss so they won't unravel.

Fold a Peace Crane
Begin with a square of origami paper. Fold it lengthwise into a rectangle. Fold the rectangle into a square and then, diagonally, into a triangle. Unfold the paper, orienting it as a diamond, back (duller) side up. Use the fold lines to press the sides of the diamond in, forming an accordion-fold square with a closed top and four points joining at the bottom.
Lift the left and right sides of the square into the center diagonal, forming a kite shape. Flip it over and repeat on the reverse side. Unfold the kite and lift the bottom point of the square. The flaps on either side will fold into the center in a long diamond. Flip it over and repeat on the reverse side.
Fold each of the two legs at the bottom in toward the center. Flip over and repeat on the reverse side. Lift the right leg, folding it out at a right angle for the crane's tail; then turn it inside out. Repeat with the left leg to form the crane's neck. Fold down the tip of the neck, turning it inside out for the head.
Pull down gently on each wing. Hold the neck and tail joints, gently stretching them apart until the crane flaps its wings.

Craft a Memory Collage
If you've sponsored a child for a year or more, you'll have photographs from annual progress reports. Copy or digitize them to create a greeting card documenting your unique friendship. Add photographs of your family, words in both languages, cultural features of each country and any other specifics that define your relationship.
Build a Peace Bridge
North America's second busiest border crossing is near Niagara Falls. Each year, the Peace Bridge's five graceful steel arches link millions of American and Canadian tourists, workers and students. Constructed in 1927 to honor more than a century of peace, prosperity and partnership, it sports webcams, a duty-free shop and foreign currency exchange, fast-food restaurants and toll-free bicycle and pedestrian lanes. LED lighting changes color for American and Canadian holidays, athletic events, Halloween and other celebrations. In springtime, the iconic structure blooms with thousands of flowers.
What would the Peace Bridge linking you and your sponsored child look like? Draw a picture or write a story.
Or, simply write a note to your sponsored child today to mark International Day of Friendship.

I included this recipe on the buffet at a recent finger food / appetizer party. They were easy to prepare the night before and reheat on a baking sheet just before the party. The dip is the perfect creamy, but spicy compliment for these crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside treats.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is often central to dimensionality reduction and compression in many applications, yet its data-dependent nature as a transform computed via expensive eigendecomposition often hinders its use in severely resource-constrained settings such as satellite-borne sensors. A process is presented that effectively shifts the computational burden of PCA from the resource-constrained encoder to a presumably more capable base-station decoder. The proposed approach, compressive-projection PCA (CPPCA), is driven by projections at the sensor onto lower-dimensional subspaces chosen at random, while the CPPCA decoder, given only these random projections, recovers not only the coefficients associated with the PCA transform, but also an approximation to the PCA transform basis itself. An analysis is presented that extends existing Rayleigh-Ritz theory to the special case of highly eccentric distributions; this analysis in turn motivates a reconstruction process at the CPPCA decoder that consists of a novel eigenvector reconstruction based on a convex-set optimization driven by Ritz vectors within the projected subspaces. As such, CPPCA constitutes a fundamental departure from traditional PCA in that it permits its excellent dimensionality-reduction and compression performance to be realized in an light-encoder/heavy-decoder system architecture. In experimental results, CPPCA outperforms a multiple-vector variant of compressed sensing for the reconstruction of hyperspectral data.

After getting married to Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza has already made her place in a Pakistani family and now the tennis champion is all set to endorse brands in Pakistan. It seems Sania is the season's flavor for the companies right now as all companies from small brands like Habib cooking oil, Malaysian Palm, Parker Fertilizers to the bigger ones such as Mobilink and Ufone GSM have put Sania's pictures on the hoardings welcoming her cross borders.
The Pakistani Ad agencies are currently busy in analyzing Sania's acceptability as the brand ambassador in the country.
Intezaar Siddiqui, creative director (copy), Orient Advertising
said, "This is a positive step by the corporates in Pakistan towards roping in Sania or both as their brand ambassador."
Ad companies may crave to sign Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik together for their brand but it is not possible at present as Shoaib is facing one-year ban by PCB and thus he can not shoot any ad campaign during this period.
Sania already endorse the brand of Adidas and TVS Scooty in India and now let's see which brand come up to her in upcoming times.

"On Top of Maui" Top 5 Page for this destination Haleakala National Park by Andraf
Haleakala National Park Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 161 photos
Maui is best known for its beaches but like all the Hawaiian islands is able to offer a lot more than sand and the ocean. Another exciting aspect of Maui is Haleakala National Park, a place full of eerie volcanic landscapes, whose peaks stretch above the clouds and 10,000 feet above the sunny beaches. Haleakala National Park is located around the Haleakala crater, which is not actually a crater as many people believe but a valley which was carved into a volcano by thousands of years of erosion. It is technically called a shield volcano, whatever that means (actually I looked it up on the web, and it means "Volcanoes with broad, gentle slopes and built by the eruption of fluid basalt lava"). Haleakala has last erupted in 1790 but it's considered an active volcano and it's being monitored. It is estimated that Haleakala has been above the ocean surface for about 1.1 million years. The Hawaiian name Haleakala means "house of the sun", a name that fits in my opinion.
The first part of the journey is the drive to the volcano itself, a twisty, 30 miles trip through ranchland. The road climbs quickly, a total altitude gain of 10000 feet (3000 meters) and soon you'll find yourself above the clouds, looking down on fields and beaches. The altitude can make one a little breathless if you aren't careful. The view of the crater will take you breath away. Streaks of red, yellow, gray and black trace the courses of recent and ancient lava, ash, and cinder flows. You might also see Mauna Kea on the Big Island from the top of Haleakala. A lot of people come here to watch the sunrise (we were too lazy to do it). Another popular activity is to bike down from the summit on the road and there are many companies to provide bikes and transportation to the top (we didn't do that either). Instead we hiked inside the crater on the Sliding Sands trail. I usually don't like the hikes where you first descend and then on the way back you have to climb but I really enjoyed this one. The views of cinder cones and old lava flows are amazing. There are other trails requiring wilderness permits. Maybe next time...
What is just about impossible to prepare for is the weather. We visited Maui in April and we went to Haleakala the second day of our trip. The weather turned out to be nasty, it was cloudy and foggy and it was impossible to see anything. For short periods of time the fog will part and you'll get a glimpse of the crater enought to make you gasp and than it will all be covered in fog again. So we decided to come to the summit once again and did so on the last day of our vacation. This time the weather was glorious, sunny and clear and we were able to hike into the crater and take beautiful pictures. You do need to bring a jacket, it's windy up there.
In contrast to the red and gray bare lands of the Haleakala Crater comes the Kipahulu section of the park which is lush and green and full of waterfalls. To get there you'll have to drive the highway to Hana, another narrow, twisting, full of hairpin turns road. The highway will lead you to the pools of Ohe'o, aka "Seven Sacred Pools", a name that is actually a marketing gimmick (they're not sacred and there aren't seven of them). In conclusion, this is a fine park and if you visit Maui, this is one place you must see.
- Pros:Are we on Mars? It sure looks like it
- Cons:Unpredictable weather
- In a nutshell:A Maui must-see. Breathtaking views. Don't miss it.

Great Page Andrea!
What an exciting National Park to visit. Volcanic activities is fascinating. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip and tips. SL :)
Nice page Andreea, I hiked through the caldera of Haleakala - it was great - I imagined that I was on the moon :)
Spectacular photos and great tips. Thanks
I hear the Chukar tastes just like chicken! Birthday greetings from Alaska.
What an amazing place! Fabulous page : ))
Grand views over a spectacular landscape. Getting out of the car at that height is fun - even funner atop Mauna Kea, which is another 3000 feet up;-] Great tips - you earned both of those pizzas!
wow, i don' t think I have ever seen such a great photo of Haleakela crater in your opening shot. Most take in the sunrise and get out. You're photos of what most miss are just great!

Sun City Carolina Lakes homeowners are taking an active role in the Indian Land community not just by speaking out at public meetings, but also by letting their voices be heard loud and clear at the ballot box.
Sun City's registered voters continue to vote at a much higher rate than the rest of the county, regardless of what may or may not be on the ballot.
The shooting of a woman in downtown Lancaster Thursday afternoon prompted a massive law-enforcement and rescue response, and officers took down the suspect at gunpoint.
Thomas Baker, 64, of 300-A Chesterfield Ave., was charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, said Lancaster Police Department Capt. Scott Grant.
The victim, who was shot once in the chest, was taken to Springs Memorial Hospital and then flown to another medical facility for treatment.
This Saturday morning, members of at least 33 congregations across the county are gathering at Lancaster's Historic Courthouse in what is expected to be a prayer demonstration that's the first of its kind in Lancaster.
It's called Lancaster's Citywide Unity Prayer Rally and is sponsored by the Lancaster Division of My Hope with Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
The goal is to unite the county in spiritual purpose.
Retiring Lancaster Fire Chief Chuck Small was named the state's top fire chief this past weekend during the 2016 S.C. State Association of Fire Chiefs Leadership Conference in Myrtle Beach.
Small, who announced his retirement in late May after 38 years on the job due to health concerns, received the 2016 Fritz Turner Award on Saturday.
GREAT FALLS – Town of Great Falls employees will get a 4 percent raise if the proposed $1,097,672 budget gains second-reading approval. The proposed budget gained unanimous approval at the May 16 meeting.
Councilman Glenn Smith said the budget contains no tax increase.
Instead, a $1 monthly garbage fee increase will be added.
"We chose not to raise taxes, but garbage fees will go up $1 a month. It has been eight years since garbage fees were adjusted," Smith said.
Mary Ann Hudson, Lancaster County Voter Registration and Election Commission director, said polls for the statewide primaries will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
If you are in line when the polls close at 7 p.m., you will be allowed to cast a ballot.
Voters who cannot read or have a physical disability that makes it difficult or impossible to operate a voting machine can solicit help from a poll worker.
Since S.C. residents don't register to vote by political party, anyone may vote in the statewide primary.
Early indications point toward low turnout in Lancaster County for Tuesday's primary vote, which increases the likelihood of runoff elections for county auditor and county council District 1.
As of noon Friday, less than 300 absentee ballots had been cast, said Mary Ann Hudson, the county's elections director.
Absentee ballots, she said, have always been an accurate gauge of voter interest, and such low numbers don't support a large turnout.
That has Hudson anticipating runoffs in both the county council and auditor's races.
Jerry Holt's backers jumped to his defense this week, saying his ejection from the county planning commission spotlights a long-boiling dispute between Lancaster County's desire for development and Panhandle residents' insistence that growth be controlled.
From craft beer brewing and barbecue to board sawing, honeybees and historic buildings, the local, self-guided S.C. Ag+Art Tour has found its niche.
The annual tour, which features local artisans, products, farms and some hidden county treasures, is drawing locals and out-of-towners, alike.
Now in its ninth year, Lancaster is one of nine Palmetto State counties getting in on the agri-tourism act.
Two people were killed and several others were hurt in a horrendous five-car crash early Saturday in Indian Land.
S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Tony Keller said the wreck happened about 1 a.m. on U.S. 521 North between Henry Harris and Charles Pettus roads.
Keller said the wreck was so serious that troopers have not been able nail down the exact circumstances.

The Class of 2013 put the books away and got the party rolling.
Proud alums in tasselled caps and gowns — and smiles as wide as the sun — basked in the limelight and shared their academic successes at pomp-filled graduation ceremonies across the borough.
Some came away wiser for the experience, thanks in part to a former hostage of a terror group.
Students at the Berkeley Carroll School in Carroll Gardens listened raptly to keynote speaker David Rohde, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, who was kidnapped by the Taliban in 2008, but managed to escape after seven months in captivity.
"Think before making major decisions," Rohde warned them.
August Rosenthal was Berkeley's student speaker.
Ex-transit chief and Republican mayoral candidate Joseph Lhota was in a class of his own at Poly Prep Country Day School's 156th commencements. The former deputy mayor and past chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority gave the guest address at the Park Slope school, where his daughter Kathryn was a 2009 graduate.
Poly also recognized National Merit Scholarship semifinalists Emily M. Giurleo, Bonnie Mai, Courtnie R. Phillip, Emma E. Restrick, and Philip G. Strauss.
Bay Ridge Preparatory School headed to the Brooklyn Museum for its 15th annual graduation rites, which included a student show performed by Elia Bishara, Gabby Gross, and Joshua Rich.
Bishara, who shared the stage earlier with co-salutatorians Yael Avidan, Dennis Fedoroko, and Kelly Joule, had some sound advice for his classmates.
"This day proves that we have the potential to explore this vast, mysterious world," he said. "That we can go on to college and begin to find ourselves, and find how we want to make a mark on this world."
Valedictorians William Bauman, Matthew Cordone, and Abraham Peterkin spoke about the challenges their generation will face in the future — or as Cordone put it, "the pressures of adult life."
For some, the special occasion was an opportunity to return to their old stomping grounds.
Tatiana Nicoli, owner of Boulevard Books and Cafe in Bay Ridge, found herself back at Fontbonne Hall Academy, after graduating from the all-girls school 17 years ago.
"It was like returning to family," said Nicoli, who gave the keynote speech. "I told the girls don't worry about how much money you're going to make, remember to be happy, and be mindful of your community."
Gabrielle Mineo and Jessica Seliste were Fontbonne's valedictorian and salutatorian.
Regina Pynn, a Class of 2006 grad and the project engineer for United Technologies Aero Space Systems, was the guest speaker at Bishop Kearney High School's big day, held at Brooklyn College. Billy Wei was the valedictorian.
At Bishop Ford Central Catholic High School, another celebrated alumnus took to the podium.
Brooklyn Heights dentist Dr. Eugene Stanislaus, Class of 1976, returned to his Windsor Terrace alma mater to bolster a new generation. Lyle-Anthony Aigbedion and his sister Lydia-Rose kept it in the family, as valedictorian and salutatorian.
The sight of rolled-up diplomas looped around pumping fists continued at Xaverian High School's ceremonies at Brooklyn College, where Steven Swenson was the valedictorian, and Peter Acquafredda the salutatorian.
Acquafredda recounted how Xaverian's director of alumni relations Eddie Mayrose, Class of 1979, once said to him, "To be a Xaverian man, you just need to 'get it.' "
"The first few times you hear this, you have no idea what he's talking about," Acquafredda said to chuckles from the audience. "But the longer you are here, the more you just 'get it.' "
Alum Rev. Michael Bruno of St. Luke's Church in Whitestone, Queens, was Xaverian's keynote speaker.
The pastor, Class of 2003, urged students to lead a life of grace.
"Be men of compassion and love," he said.
Courier Life Publications extends its hearty congratulations to Brooklyn's Class of 2013.

He's been in the end zone more than any other receiver this year. But the one time he forgets that, we have to kick off from the 15. If Indy didn't get those last three points, than we would have been playing for a FG and not had the urgency to have to find the end zone one more time.
It was pretty obvious Vernon wanted people to come up and pretend to take pics of him. If he would have throw the ball to the ref and run off the field to high fives and chest bumps like he has done the previous times this year, his team mates wouldn't have been in position to be called for excessive celebration.
That's why I blame Vernon even though the call went against 84.
