What Are Vegetables Like?
Lesson 4 of 5
Objective: SWBAT ask and answer questions about key details in an informational text; SWBAT write a structured, informative paragraph about their chosen vegetable.
Big Idea: There is more to vegetables than meets the eye. They come in all sorts of colors and shapes. Come and discover them!
Today, my students will engage in reading about a vegetable of their choice. They will read to find all about the vegetable. They are researching what their vegetable look likes, how it feels, how it smells, and other interesting information. To record their findings, they will use a bubble map. I am asking them to write 7-10 descriptive facts about their vegetable. They will use this information to write an informative paragraph about their vegetable. I will model for them how to use the information they gathered on their bubble map to write their paragraph.
A new shift with the CCSS is about giving students the practice to be able to handle complex text. In this case my students are using the descriptive language in the text to write about their vegetable. While this language includes the five senses: smell, taste, sight, touch, etc., my students are not using their fives senses to describe the fruit. For them to be successful with this complex text, I am scaffolding by asking them to highlight only those words that relate to the five senses, they are using a graphic organizer (the bubble map), and I am modeling the writing process. As I write, I will refer to a couple of charts that provide support for their writing as well.
At the end of the lesson, I will give the students an opportunity to share with one another about their vegetable. Also, students will be given a checklist to help them understand whether they have accomplished all the parts that need to be included in their paragraph. This paragraph is a draft and the students will have an opportunity to revise and edit later on during the week.
Lesson Opening:
I start with students on the rug. I share the objective in a student friendly manner: I can write a paragraph thats informs about a vegetable.
Then, I proceed to show them how they will need to first collect their details. They will need to read with the purpose of finding: how it looks like, tastes, smells, feels, where they come from, how they grow, and any other information they find interesting. I will be referring to a chart we created as a class to support them with this reading/writing endeavor.
I pass out the vegetable each student will be reading about as I dismiss them to their tables.

At their tables, students are spending time reading their informational sheet about the vegetable they chose. Here are two examples:
As they read, they will use a yellow highlighter to highlight the descriptive information they are looking for. I will post the chart with what I asked them to looked for on the white board where it is visible for all to see. I will walk around to help anyone who needs to be redirected.
Once the students are done reading, they will transfer 7-10 descriptive facts about their vegetables to their bubble map. Graphic organizers such as a bubble map are a fruitful way to help students organize their research/thinking. In using the bubble may, I am also helping them to be focused. Again, I am walking around monitoring their work and assisting where needed.
Before the students get to their bubble maps, I will take the time to review how to use it. I will use a timer to keep us on track. Here are examples of their bubble maps:
Resources (8)
Though we have learned the structure of informational paragraphs in previous lessons, I am still very direct about how to compose their informative paragraph to ensure that they all remember the clear structure we need to use. I review the following out loud with them as I model with an example:
- Title
- Topic sentence (remind them what is a topic sentence: I will refer to the chart we created from previous lessons.)
- Making sure to indent the topic sentence.
- Using transitional words to support show how their paragraph moves from one sentence to another.
- Keep in the mind the quality of the sentences they are writing. I will refer to the posters: Simple Sentence, Elaborated Sentence, and Complex Sentence.
- Closing sentence, what is it?
Students will need to write 5-7 sentences. I will remind that while they are to take their time in writing this paragraph, this paragraph is only a draft and I will give them time to revise and edit.
Resources (4)
Independent Writing
Students will now be engaged in writing their paragraph. I will remind them to take their time writing their paragraph. While they will have the chance to revise and edit it later, I still want them to be mindful about how they are writing their paragraph.
Also, I have been working with my students on writing complex sentences. Part of writing complex sentences is using more than 5 words in their sentences. These complex sentences need to include, the who, what, and where. I will remind to use different types of sentences and not just get complacent with writing the same pattern of sentences over and over.
Students will have access to a couple of charts. One charts displays introductory sentences. Another, what needs to be included in their paragraph.
Here are examples of their paragraphs:
Resources (7)
Pair Sharing with Checklist
I will gather the students back on the rug. I will explain how they will use a checklist with a partner to share their paragraphs.
Students will spend time sharing with each other the paragraph they wrote. In sharing their paragraphs with each other, they will have a checklist to determine whether they accomplished all the parts that needed to be included in their paragraphs.
Here are examples of their checklists:
Resources (6)
Sharing Whole Group
Now, I will bring students back to the rug and have a few students share their paragraphs with the whole class. We will review whether we accomplished our task/objective.
I have attached a video of their bubble maps and paragraphs. Enjoy.

Hartsville, SC- In a crazy game full of twists and turns, the Coker men's basketball team picked up their second straight Conference Carolinas win in the last three days, as they defeated Erskine College by a score of 70-68. The win brings the Cobras record to 5-6 overall, and 3-2 in the conference, while the Flying Fleet drop to 3-6 overall, and 0-4 in the conference.
In a game that took nearly ten minutes before either team even reached double digit scoring, there was some major controversy to end the first half. With just seconds left in the half, Erskine's T.J. Taylor drove the lane looking for a lay-up, but was unable to reach the basket. After a couple of missed rebounds, Erskine's James Farley tried to get the balled tipped in with just one second left, but the shot clock sounded and it was thought the half was over. In all the commotion the referees assumed the ball had fallen through the hoop, and therefore awarded the basket to Erskine. But that is far from the end of the play, during halftime the referees discussed the play and upon further review determined that they had incorrectly awarded the final Erskine basket. The score was corrected before the start of the second half, giving Coker a 31-26 lead, rather than a 31-28 lead.
In the second half, Erskine turned up the pressure and battled back to within eight points with just 18 seconds left. Brandon Wright's 3-pointer with 11 seconds left cut the lead to five, but a Coker foul sent Wright to the foul line, and cutting the deficit to just four points. Coker committed a costly foul sending Erskine again to the charity stripe, and dropping the Cobras lead to just three, but thanks to Lukas Varga's (Pawleys Island, SC) pair of clutch free throws, Coker was up by five again. Wright hit another 3-pointer as time ran out, with the final score being 70-68, making the two point play at the end of the first half even more crucial.
Leading the Coker offense was Josh Poston (Myrtle Beach, SC) with 20 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals, while Mason Ambler (Atlanta, GA) netted 12 points with eight rebounds. Stevie Evans (Columbia, SC) and Varga each scored nine points with three rebounds, while Evans dished out four assists and Varga handed out three.
For the Flying Fleet, Wright led all scorers with 21 points and five rebounds, going 5-for-10 from beyond the arc, while Taylor scored 15 points with three assists.
Coker returns to the floor on Saturday, as they travel to Belmont Abbey College, while Erskine travels to Pfeiffer University. Both games tip-off at 4:00 p.m.

A Los Angeles hacker received a slightly reduced sentence Monday of 55 months in prison for participating in a multimillion-dollar computer-fraud scheme, after a federal judge took into account the man's diagnosis with Asperger's Syndrome.
Viachelav Berkovich, 34, received five months less than the minimum recommended by the probation office and prosecutors, and 23 months less than the minimum under federal sentencing guidelines. Co-defendant Nicholas Lakes, 36, was sentenced last month to 70 months for masterminding the scheme.
"The court tried to make a fair sentence … and gave us some of what we asked for, and did accept that Mr. Berkovich suffered from Asperger's," says Kiana Sloan-Hillier, Berkovich's defense attorney. "But at the same time felt that this was serious and that a substantial prison sentence was called for to deter others."
The sentence comes barely a week after British hacker Gary McKinnon lost his High Court appeals to avoid extradition to the United States, where he's accused of cracking nearly 100 Pentagon and NASA computers in 2001 and 2002, and allegedly causing $700,000 in damage. McKinnon's lawyer, and legions of British supporters, have decried the extradition request as inhumane because of McKinnon's own recent diagnosis with Asperger's — a mild form of autism that makes social interactions difficult, and sometimes leads to obsessive, repetitive behavior.
Berkovich and Lakes are Russian immigrants who pleaded guilty in February to executing a man-in-the-middle attack that let them run a profitable trucking company without having to drive trucks.
For over three years the pair hacked into a Department of Transportation website called Safersys.org, which maintains a list of licensed interstate-trucking companies and brokers, according to an affidavit (.pdf) filed by a DOT investigator. There, they would temporarily change the contact information for a legitimate trucking company to an address and phone number under their control.
The men then took to the web-based "load boards" where brokers advertise cargo in need of transportation. They'd negotiate a deal, for example, to transport cargo from American Canyon, California, to Jessup, Maryland, for $3,500.
But instead of transporting the load, Lakes and Berkovich would outsource the job to another trucking company, the feds say, posing as the legitimate company whose identity they'd hijacked. Once the cargo was delivered, the men invoiced their customer and pocketed the funds. But when the company that actually drove the truck tried to get paid, they'd eventually discover that the firm who'd supposedly hired them didn't know anything about it.
Based on the high losses and the number of victims in the case, federal sentencing guidelines recommended a range of 78 to 97 months for Berkovich. But in a pre-sentence report, the probation office suggested a reduction to 60 months, owing to Berkovich's lessor role in the conspiracy: He was recruited by Lakes, who paid him a "very small" percentage of the proceeds from the fraud, says Sloan-Hillier. (Lakes' attorney declined to comment.)
Berkovich was particularly susceptible to recruitment because he suffers from Asperger's, Sloan-Hillier says. "We're not excusing his behavior," says Sloan-Hillier. "He's taken responsibility, and he knows that he shouldn't have gotten involved with this…. But some people are more vulnerable than others."
Born in Novosibirsk, Russia in southwestern Siberia, Berkovich grew up a loner, and suffered beatings by street thugs, the lawyer says. In 1999, he immigrated illegally into the U.S. and settled in the Los Angeles area, but found himself unable to maintain serious employment. He was flirting with homelessness when Lakes befriended him and eventually pulled him into the computer fraud, according to court filings by Sloan-Hillier.
Sloan-Hillier asked a psychiatrist to examine Berkovich after noticing mannerisms that she recognized as possible signs of a disorder. She filed the doctor's findings under seal, and asked U.S. District Judge John Walter for a sentence of 24 months.
Walter gave Berkovich a much longer (though still reduced) sentence, and ordered the Bureau of Prisons to give him an evaluation.
The judge also ordered Berkovich to pay $2,773,074 in restitution to approximately 300 victims. "He actually offered to drive their trucks for free and paint their houses," says Sloan-Hillier. "Obviously, that's not how the system works."
Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles say they've recovered $1.4 million from Lakes.
Monday's sentence suggests that federal courts are willing to consider Asperger's as a factor when handing down a hacking sentence, but still begin with the sentencing guidelines, which use financial loss and the number of victims as the primary factors in setting a sentence.
British hacker Gary McKinnon faces anywhere from six months to six-and-a-half years in prison under the guidelines, depending mostly on how much damage he caused, if any. (His supporters, and the British press, tend to inflate the possible sentence to 60 or 70 years.)
McKinnon rejected a written plea offer in April 2003 that would have given him six months to a year in a low-security U.S. prison, followed by a transfer back to the United Kingdom, where he would have been eligible for parole six months later.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Exclusive Gossip Girl Clip: Blair Stalks Dan, Bashes LolaSteve Marsi at . Comments
The CW and Warner Bros. have provided TV Fanatic an exclusive clip from Monday's all-new Gossip Girl, and it's a fun one. Blair shows up at Dan's theater production of Inside, where and meets a familiar face.
Familiar to us, at least.
The Upright Citizens Brigade, a comedy-based New York City improvisational theater group, is performing excerpts from Dan's book, which he's apparently overseeing. One of the actresses? None other than Lola.
That's the setting where B arrives, ostensibly to say hello to her "friend", but clearly with other motives. Fawning over him awkwardly, she's either smitten with Lonely Boy, looking to rub it in S' face, or both.
Moments later, she unknowingly meets the real Charlotte Rhodes, Julliard student and aspiring actress, and promptly bashes her hideous headband and wardrobe, only to learn that Lola is playing Claire in Inside.
Ouch, B. Watch the sneak peek from "Cross Rhodes" and comment below!

It is a tense time here at the house of Knit One, Purl Too. The best of intentions are meeting up with reality: a. November and December are really busy at work, and b. it takes what seems like forever to make it to the end of a sleeve if you start by picking up 168 stitches. Translation? I will probably not be done with Cable and Rib by December 31. Damn.
I did a beautiful job of picking up stitches for the sleeve, if I do say so myself – and then I lost momentum when I saw how wide it was. [It's like starting the back all over again! The sleeves are bigger than the fronts! How can that be right – is this a plot? – ed.] We're on the downhill slope again now after seven inches of sleeve knitting, but the idea that I need to turn around and do it all again on another sleeve in 18 inches is killing me. Also, as I feared, this is no longer a portable project – and I have crossed that line after which I am pretty sure I must knit every waking moment in order to complete this sweater by the end of the year. Plus, I haven't even started my Christmas shopping.
I'm pretty bummed about this total and utter failure to meet an arbitrary, self-imposed deadline, but I distracted myself with a little something – my first serious sewing project. This is the Jordy bag made famous on Craftster, and sewed by me – and Knit One Purl Too's Chief Seam Wrangler (a.k.a my husband). I learned how to thread our sewing machine and I sewed the lining (peek inside), and he sewed the outside (while I made gingersnap rum balls) – we used material from the sleeves of a denim jacket, so that closure you see there is one of the cuffs. I have a bling-y button ready to top it off, which I have had stashed in one jewelry box or another since I was nine. If I can't finish this sweater in time, at least I can sew an endless supply of sock bags now.
Bonus link: if you are a fan of Christmas music in all its forms, you will love DJ Riko's Mixmas mixes as much as I do – just the right mix of classic and kitsch.

The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life
Directed by Terrence Malick (Fox Searchlight, 2011)
Terrence Malick's kaleidoscopic masterpiece about, well, everything raises several universal questions, but one query this dazzling juggernaut of a film answers definitively is why make movies?
Most contemporary films entertain 14-year-old boys with a barrage of rapid-fire special effects. Other movies translate novels into a cinematic narrative furnished with a tapestry of lovely images and scenery.
But Malick does not strap us into a theme park ride or let us glide along the surface of a picture book story. For him movies are an art form meant to engage, unsettle, overwhelm and—dare one say it—transform us. And Malick the filmmaker wants to use the full palette of cinematic art to engage the sacramental mystery at the heart of our wondrous, terrifying, and concrete existence.
In The Tree of Life, Malick has fashioned a cinematic triptych with a central narrative bracketed by two otherworldly pieces exploring our origins and ultimate destination. The opening act serves up a sumptuous visual and musical synthesis of Genesis and the Big Bang, marveling at the grace and wonder of our very existence; while the closing piece provides an ethereal meditation on life beyond the grave, pondering the meaning and purpose of our lives and the world around us.
But it is the extraordinarily ordinary narrative at the center of Malick's film that illuminates and grounds this masterpiece. Here is the tale of a small town boy, Jack O'Brien, and his parents. It's a plain and simple tale with none of the sweep or majesty of the myths of creation or the eschaton, but it's a story chock full of all the wonder, terror, and grace inhabiting the smallest gestures of our daily lives.
And this is what dazzles and confounds both Jack and us. How are the mysteries (and creator) of the universe tied to the infinitesimally tiny specks of time and space occupied by ordinary mortals like ourselves? Can our world really be full of the glory and grandeur of God? Imagine a film that has us pondering those kinds of questions, even for a minute.

The condition is the third-leading cause of blindness in the world. It can strike at any age, but the elderly are particularly susceptible. Current estimates of glaucoma are a staggering 100-150 million cases worldwide. With our ageing population - increasing by 50 per cent in the US alone over the next 15 years - the numbers are expected to soar dramatically (Arch Ophthalmol, 2004; 122: 532-8).
Notorious for its lack of symptoms, glaucoma can cause progressive damage to the optic nerve without your realising it. The damage often involves loss of peripheral vision, which is not easily apparent. It's only when your field of vision has been seriously reduced (when patients complain of bumping into things a lot) that the sufferer is likely to finally head off to see a doctor (see box, page 2).
As much of the damage to the optic nerve is permanent, the conventional management strategy is to prevent any further visual loss by controlling the ocular hypertension - and there are no prizes for guessing what doctors turn to as the first line of treatment.
Drugs are big business in the glaucoma field. The way doctors prescribe eyedrops (sometimes combining two or more types) to glaucoma patients has helped to rake in big profits for the ophthalmic drugs industry. Worldwide sales of medicated eyedrops for glaucoma average $3 billion (USD) each year, and account for almost half the total ophthalmic pharmaceutical market. Given the predicted rise in glaucoma cases in tandem with the ageing population, that sound you can just about hear is the drug companies rubbing their hands in anticipation.
But these seemingly innocuous drops - which, in most cases, have to be taken for life - cause a laundry list of side-effects, and are often as dangerous to the body as drugs taken by mouth.
Keeping the risks in sight
A cornucopia of medicated eyedrops is available for glaucoma, and the mechanism by which they lower eye pressure depends on the class of agent they contain. Needless to say, they all come with their own rather extensive menu of side-effects.
* Miotics such as pilocarpine work by constricting the pupil, and stimulating the ciliary muscles to increase the drainage of fluid from the eye.
Downside: Because miotics reduce the size of the pupil, a common complaint is blurred or dim vision. This could also artificially induce nightblindness. Also, as these eyedrops need to be administered four times a day, patients may find it difficult to keep track regularly.
* Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are available as eyedrops (Trusopt, Azopt) or in an oral form (Diamox). These agents inhibit the enzyme involved in producing the aqueous humor, thereby decreasing IOP.
Downside: Chronic use of these drops can cause an allergic response, with redness and itching of the eye (conjunctiva) as well as scaling on the lower eyelids. When taken orally, the side-effects stretch considerably to include frequent urination, tingling in the fingers/toes, skin rash, gastrointestinal disorders, depression, fatigue, impotence, weight loss and lethargy.

Your doctor has requested an endoscopic ultrasound procedure for you. This procedure uses sound waves to search for lesions, tumors, and other abnormalities in your esophagus (the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach), your stomach, the duodenum (the first part of your small intestine), and large intestine.
A special instrument called an ultrasound probe is used to send sound waves through your body. The probe is attached to the tip of an endoscope, a lighted tube that allows your doctor to look inside your digestive tract. The probe also receives signals as the sound waves bounce off your stomach walls. These signals are convertedinto pictures and displayed on a monitor in the operating room while your doctor performs the procedure.
If you are taking the test as an outpatient, you must arrange for a family member or other responsible person to accompany you to the hospital and take you home when your test is completed. At the hospital, you will receive a sedative medication, so you will not be able to drive for several hours. It is not recommended that you use public transportation; someone you trust should drive you home.
The night before your examination, you will be told not to eat or drink anything after midnight. Use only small sips of water if you must take prescription medication.
During the examination, you should feel drowsy and comfortable. If you are asked to change position during the procedure, a nurse will assist you. It will take the doctor about an hour to complete the examination. The results will be interpreted and a report will be sent to your doctor.
Because air was put into your stomach through the endoscope, you may feel full or bloated afterthe exam. This feeling should pass quickly, although it may last several hours.
For the next 24 hours, you should not drive a car, operate machinery, or make important decisions, because the sedative you were given may impair your reflexes and judgment. The sedative also may impair your memory of the procedure. Your doctor will give instructions to the person accompanying you concerning your care.

text: I think it would be wise to have someone scouting the outside and the inside.... upon reflection, it would be valuable for the inside person to be able to get through closed doors without opening them, which would point to Sabriel. however, it would also be valuable for the insider person to have a see invisible effect going, and only Gramblin and Arielle could 'umd' a scroll. Tala only has one such scroll left. The inside person needs to be silent and scentless. The latter of which we can do for anyone, but the former is either Gramblin or Sabriel in wind walk. Does anyone have a hat of disguise, or some other method of disguising themselves in case of an enemy see-invisible? anyone else have some in-character advice about whom should be chosen for inside and outside scouting?

A building management systems project installed by Johnson Controls for the University of Minnesota is saving the university $2.4 million in annual energy costs. The University of Minnesota, one of the most comprehensive public universities in the world, houses the state's flagship research institution, and is home to more than 66,000 students.
Among the project's many challenges was migrating to BACnet compatible equipment, and replacing a legacy control system with Johnson Controls' Metasys® building management system.
The Facilities Management Department carries a major technology "course load" of more than 320 buildings across two campuses, in the Twin Cities and Duluth, MN. Therefore, efficient and reliable controls are therefore essential to its success. The project involved changing over equipment on the University's Twin Cities and Duluth campuses, nearly 150 miles apart.
Among the project's many challenges was migrating to BACnet compatible equipment, and replacing a legacy control system with Johnson Controls' Metasys® building management system. A team from Johnson Controls installed a multi-vendor head-end workstation to integrate a number of legacy building automation systems, which controlled 28,000 physical points. This step bridged the gap between different systems, maximized the university's return on investment, and created a migration path to newer technologies.
The Metasys system is now a common user interface from which approximately 60,000 physical points are monitored and controlled. Sources from Johnson Controls say the scope of the University of Minnesota system qualifies it as the largest Metasys system application in North America.
Reducing Energy Consumption
In addition to the goal of being one of the world's top three research universities, the University of Minnesota set a goal to reduce energy consumption by 5% over an 18-month period. The goal was achieved three months ahead of schedule.
"The Facilities Management Department strives to be world class in energy management. The integration we've done has helped us get there," says Mark Peterson, senior controls engineer for the university. In accordance with university BACnet compatibility standards, about 80% of building management systems operate on BACnet. This allows integration of equipment from a variety of vendors, including Johnson Controls, Siemens, Honeywell, Trane, Delta, McQuay, Nexsys, Phoenix, and Tridium. Over time, BACnet compatible equipment is installed in place of older systems. (Shown at right: technicians monitor thousands of points from a single workstation.)
The BACnet implementation enables university personnel to monitor and control all building systems from a central location, with the Metasys system as a single-seat user interface. "Johnson Controls was the first of our vendors to launch a full scale BACnet product with a web-enabled user interface. As we upgrade to BACnet compatible equipment, it can be easily integrated into the Johnson Controls head-end," Peterson says. "Instead of needing multiple monitors to view and respond to alarms from different vendor's systems, the alarms all look the same, and can be viewed from a single workstation."
"The University worked extensively with us in a research and development capacity, to be sure we could meet that need," says Becky Wacker, a systems sales engineer for Johnson Controls, in an interview with Contracting Business. And, she adds that a major challenge in a project of this scope involved establishing clear communications.
"We had to ensure that we were all on the same page, and that the communication lines between the two campuses was seamless," Wacker says.
Jason Gorak, project branch manager for JCI, told Contracting Business that the project actually had its beginnings in 2004, when JCI established a technical "plug-and-play" connection between the campuses' automation systems.
"It was critical in making sure everyone knew what would be seen, how the systems would communicate, and how seamless it would be. Even though that was done in 2004, it was still a key piece in clearing some hurdles in this project," Gorak says.
'Round the Clock Monitoring of 'Districts'
The University of Minnesota is divided into four operational districts. Physical plant personnel monitor systems and equipment across campus every hour of every day. To manage all that data, the University Energy Management Group and Johnson Controls have leveraged the reporting capabilities allowed by Metasys system, and use it for high energy and operational efficiency. For example, programs will calculate the amount of hours fans have run for a particular week, and are then compared to the amount they were scheduled to run.
"This helps us see if fans aren't running as programmed or if schedules are being overridden, which would otherwise be difficult to do with such a large university," Peterson says. "We created that report with all of the BACnet vendors and use the Metasys system to harvest the data, which is then stored and published on the web for people to see as a dashboard metric."
Precise Controls Support University's Mission
With a goal of being one of the top research universities in the world, precise control of research and critical environments is of paramount importance. The impact of unreliable building control systems on the research itself is obvious. Secondary risks include a negative impact on the ability to recruit researchers, students, and to obtain grant funds. The many building control systems on campus are used to control lighting and climate systems and equipment in all these environments.
Nearly 120 different university personnel use the Metasys system to interface building systems across campus. Allowing additional user access helps the Facilities Management Department reduce energy use and decrease the number of calls it receives, letting mechanics focus on more pressing matters. Because of the user-friendly nature of the Metasys system, minimal training is necessary to make adjustments and respond to alarms. Regular training on system and equipment upgrades allows university staff to remain self-sufficient, while the commitment to using BACnet compatible equipment and the Metasys system's open architecture provides flexibility in purchasing. Facility managers can purchase energy saving systems and equipment from a variety of vendors and have the flexibility to shop for equipment with the best value and lowest lifecycle costs.
The project includes the integration of systems for the university's new, 50,000+ seat TCF Bank Stadium, which uses more than 450 multi-vendor BACnet devices. JCI integrated equipment such as lighting, fire, and security systems, and an emergency generator. TCF Bank Stadium, the first Big Ten stadium built since 1960, was awarded a LEED® Silver Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the first LEED certified collegiate or professional football facility in the U.S.
Additionally, a new biomedical research building includes devices ranging from chillers to room pressure monitors.
Communication & Collaboration
For HVAC contractors interested in branching out into larger controls projects, Wacker emphasized the importance of collaboration with experienced vendors. "When you're new to a process and you're trying to implement something different that hasn't been tried in the past, sometimes it's the things you don't know that catch you up," Wacker says. "If it's a university, school system, or hospital project, it helps to have someone who's done it before to guide you in some of the pitfalls you might run into. A team approach, in which everyone understands the process, has good communication lines, and knows what they're after, is essential."

Wild About Stopping Crime
Aug. 6, 2010
By Amy Farnum
Crime doesn't pay, and that's exactly what Villanova men's lacrosse defender Chris Ficke is learning during a six-month forensic accounting co-op with the Delaware County District Attorney's Office.
Ficke, a rising senior from Morristown, N.J., is an accounting major at the Villanova Business School, and was looking for a summer job or internship when he was introduced to an opportunity in criminal investigation.
"I did a little research and found out it was something that I would be interested in because my grandfather was a New Jersey state trooper and my uncle was a state customs agent in Newark," said Ficke. "My family has always been involved in law enforcement and this tied what I was doing – accounting – together with law enforcement so I decided to give it a try."
As a member of the office's White Collar Team, Ficke is putting his accounting skills to work in order to stop criminals in their tracks.
"I work with another Villanova co-op and we handle the Excel computer based area of it for the detectives," said Ficke. "Any time they need a spreadsheet built or any of the background case work done or need us to go through files, we're kind of the grunts that build the base of their cases that we're going to present against the different defendants."
Ficke, who will be the Wildcats' team captain for the second straight year in 2011, is enjoying a different aspect to his bean-counter background.
"I think it is good for me because it is not the standard day-to-day routine of going through the steps like accounting is usually known for," said Ficke. "As corny as it sounds, this is kind of like a treasure hunt. You have to figure out where they took the money from, where they funneled it to and where it ended up. Everybody does it differently, so every case is a new learning experience."
The Dean's List and BIG EAST Academic Honor Roll student has already worked on a case involving a treasurer of high school booster clubs who was laundering money, and a travel agency that was selling bogus plane tickets.
In addition to number-crunching to help nail criminals Ficke is getting a full picture of the law enforcement experience.
"The Lieutenant that I report to wants us to see the whole process of the justice system," said Ficke. "If there is something cool going on in the different segments of the criminal investigation division, they will ship us over there for the day. If there is an autopsy in homicide, we'll get to see that and ask questions, or if there is something going on in Internet crimes, we'll get to sit in on interviews of the suspects. They try to give us a full idea of what's going on."
Ficke started the co-op this summer and will be working with the unit for the remainder of the year. He is definitely keeping forensic accounting open as a career option, whether it be at the criminal level like the FBI or at a Big Five accounting firm looking for fraud at the management level.
Before Ficke makes his career decisions, however, he has some unfinished business on the lacrosse field. The Wildcats finished third in the BIG EAST behind Syracuse and Georgetown in the league's first year sponsoring men's lacrosse as a championship sport. Ficke has started every game in each of the last two seasons, a plays a key role for a Villanova defense that finished the season ranked 20th in the nation in scoring defense (9.47 GAA).
"We have a very strong group of upperclassmen, and some of the sophomores are really talented, and we have a good freshmen class coming in," said Ficke. "I'm looking forward to see how we all meld together. I'm also looking forward to being a senior and one of the leaders on the team, and try and steer the team in the direction I think is best. A lot of us are looking forward to competing in the BIG EAST again and giving it another go in that league."
Ficke has compiled 77 ground balls and 19 caused turnovers in 41 career games.

Early migration routes to and from Tuolumne County, California Genealogy for emigrant settlers included:[3][4]
- California Trail 1844 to 1869 from western Missouri to northern California
- Carson (River) Trail 1848 (aka Mormon Emigrant Trail) crossed the Forty Mile Desert past the west side of the Carson Sink to pick up the Carson River near Fallon, Nevada up to Hope Valley and Red Lake. The Devil's Ladder then climbed 700 feet (210 m) in half a mile so ropes, chains, and pulleys were required to lift the wagons. Carson Pass was followed by the relatively easy West Pass (Kirkwood, California) and then on to Pollock Pines, Placerville, and Sutter's Fort, California
- Big Tree Road (Ebbetts Pass) 1851 from western Nevada to Markleeville, Murphys, Sonora, and Stockton, California
- Sonora Road 1852-1854 from the Carson Trail south to the Walker River along the base of the Sierra Nevada until it ascends to Sonora Pass and then down to Strawberry and Sonora, California

During their last few playoff appearances, the Atlanta Falcons didn't look like a legitimate Super Bowl contender. But guess what? So far this season, they do. They're 8-0.
These days, the New Orleans Saints hardly look like a Super Bowl contender. But guess what? After their horrid start, they've won three of their last four.
At noon Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, they'd love nothing more than to hand the Falcons their first loss.
Of course, Roddy White doesn't think it'll happen.
In case you missed it, the Falcons' veteran receiver told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week that he believes his team can go 16-0.
"I'm hoping so," White said. "I think we have the pedigree to do it."
Win or lose, New Orleans' defense will probably have its hands full with Atlanta. After all, the Saints have a tough time stopping anyone.
In a crucial 28-13 win over the Eagles, they gave up 400-plus yards for the eighth consecutive game, and they didn't exactly shut down Philadelphia's ground attack (tailback LeSean McCoy averaged 6.3 yards per carry).
But as in previous wins against San Diego and Tampa Bay, the defense made a handful of game-changing plays, including that crucial 99-yard interception return by Patrick Robinson, not to mention those seven sacks of Michael Vick.
So maybe the Saints are primed for a breakout game. Maybe they're primed for a big win over a big rival. Surely, Saints fans would love nothing more.
The Saints are 3-5 after last week's 28-13 win over the Eagles. They are third in the NFC South, one game behind second-place Tampa Bay and five games behind first-place Atlanta.
The Saints host the Falcons at noon Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. After that, they play at Oakland on Nov. 18 and host San Francisco on Nov. 25.
JOB WELL DONERB Mark Ingram
What he's done: Where did this guy come from? Until Monday, Ingram — often the Saints' No. 3 tailback this season — had tiptoed through much of the first seven games. Against the Eagles, he looked like a different runner, showing off moves, power and speed. Ingram had 67 yards from scrimmage Monday.
What's next: Atlanta does not have a great run defense (the Falcons have allowed 4.9 yards per carry). Still, don't expect a breakout game from Ingram, who will almost certainly share playing time with Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory — who also sparkled against Philadelphia, with a team-high 48 yards on 10 carries.
ON THE SPOTLB Curtis Lofton
What he's done: Lofton is not on the spot because he has played poorly. In fact, after eight games, he has been one of the few solid, dependable players on the Saints' beleaguered defense, leading the team with 76 tackles.
What's next: This is why Curtis Lofton is on the spot. Lofton, of course, spent his first four NFL seasons with the Falcons, becoming one of the most consistent middle linebackers in the game. Now that he's on the other side of the Saints-Falcons rivalry, Lofton will have plenty of eyes on him Monday when the teams meet.
The Saints rushed for 140 yards Monday against the Eagles, marking only the second time they've broken the 100-yard barrier this season.
Drew Brees is on pace to throw for 5,098 yards this season — only slightly below his total last year, when he broke the NFL single-season record with 5,476 yards.
The 1981 Baltimore Colts hold the record for most yards allowed in a single season.
The Saints defense is on pace to allow 7,539 yards from scrimmage this season. That would be a new NFL record.
"I think there's a recipe to be 8-0, and they've got that recipe going right now. They're extremely confident. They've won some tight football games."
—Joe Vitt, on the Falcons
Falcons: UP
What they've done:Are they the best team in the NFL? Maybe, maybe not. Do they have the best record? That, of course, is not up for debate.
Buccaneers: UP
What they've done: They've won three of their last four. They're usually competitive. And that rookie tailback, Doug Martin, looks pretty good.
Panthers: UP
What they've done: Yes, they've looked better lately. But this week, John Fox and Peyton Manning are coming to Charlotte. Uh-oh.

We recently closed a big second quarter for Hulu. In the spirit of our Q1 blog post, we'd like to share results made possible by our recent innovations combined with a steady focus on our customers (users, advertisers, and the content community).
– The slope of Hulu Plus's subscriber ramp is higher than we previously forecasted. We just closed our biggest month in Hulu Plus paid subscriber net additions by a healthy margin; we added more paying subscribers in June than we did in April and May combined. The below is our month-end Hulu Plus paying subscriber numbers since we exited our private beta period in November 2010. In our first 7.5 months, we are fast approaching the 1 million paying subscriber milestone (we already have over a million when including those in a one-week free trial period). We anticipate exceeding 1 million paying subscribers before the end of this summer; previously we had forecasted crossing that threshold around the end of this year. We are extremely encouraged by the ramp of this business:
– We have always believed that our path towards creating a special company lay in our ability to delight our customers. The key to delighting content owners rests in the economics, and Hulu Plus is already revealing our ability to compensate content owners at the high end of the market for a given body of content. Today, we proudly and profitably pay the content community approximately $8 per subscriber per month for the content offering you see today on Hulu Plus. A portion of the $8 payment to the content community comes from our $7.99 subscription fee; the balance comes from the revenue we generate through advertising. As Hulu Plus increases in scale and scope, we believe significantly more dollars in aggregate will move to the content community than has historically been the case in the industry. These economics are made possible by our ability to thrive on low margins and the unusually effective Hulu advertising service we've built and will continue to innovate. A very positive trend for the content community.
– We've continued our quest to make Hulu Plus available on every internet connected device. In the past 90 days, we have made Hulu Plus available on Xbox 360 and Kinect, select Android smart phones, TiVo Premiere DVRs, and select Samsung Blu-ray players. Collectively, this means an additional 25 million devices are capable of accessing the Hulu Plus service. Hulu Plus is now accessible on leading consumer electronic devices and mobile operating systems with a combined installed base of more than 100 million. Expect that number to grow aggressively over the balance of 2011.
– The content library on Hulu Plus has also grown considerably. Since the launch of Hulu Plus in November 2010, the number of total hours of content on the service has grown 67% from 9,000 to 15,000. The total number of full episodes on the service has grown 115% from 13,000 to 28,000. The number of TV series on the service has grown 129% from 950 to 2,180, which includes 76 series from Viacom brands like MTV, Comedy Central, and VH1. The number of clips has grown 85% from 13,500 to 25,000, and the number of movies has grown 222% from 450 to 1,450, including hundreds of Criterion Collection and Miramax titles. All 15 seasons of South Park, including the current season, were added to Hulu Plus in June, along with a rotation of episodes appearing on the free, ad-supported Hulu service. Hulu also exclusively premiered the U.K. hit Misfits on June 20th, which quickly became one of the most popular shows on the service. Through an exclusive first run, multi-year distribution deal, Hulu has introduced Misfits to a U.S audience of millions.
– In Q2, Hulu remained the leader in U.S. online video advertising with the largest market share (revenue) of a rapidly growing market. Hulu serves nearly 2x the number of video advertisements of the next largest advertising service (Source: comScore). Nielsen IAG measures the efficacy of Hulu's video advertising service at nearly 2x that of linear video advertising services.
It's been a big Q2. We remain on pace to approach half a billion in 2011 revenue. Thank you for making the above possible. We remain a team that believes in the value of convictions, thoughtful stubbornness, and the relentless pursuit of better ways.

Icahn Ends Apple Push With Hefty Paper Profit
Activist Investor Cites Firm's Recent Stock Repurchases and Proxy Adviser's Opposition
Carl Icahn has proved once again that even in defeat he can turn a tidy profit.
The billionaire investor gave up his fight Monday to force Apple Inc. to boost its share repurchase program by $50 billion. Before that, he had retreated from a demand that the consumer-technology giant load up on debt to fund a buyback three times that size.

21 and Over
Jon Lucas and Scott Moore's The Hangover successfully translated the "one crazy night" into an absurdist thriller and, more importantly for the writing duo, a mega-hit. For their directorial debut, 21 & Over, the two adapt their manchild mystery for the college crowd nearly beat for beat, substituting laughably idiotic adults for the saddest trio of bros ever brought to screen. The characters in the film spew profanity, race jokes, anti-women ideology, and pop culture non sequiturs (who doesn't love a Shrek joke?) all in the name of "having a great time." This can work Superbad stands as proof. Instead, the script for 21 & Over scrapes the bottom of the barrel then shotguns it into our faces, amounting to a cesspool of unfunny that will likely breed a new generation of douchebags if (when?) it's taken in by impressionable youngsters.
A college senior with high aspirations of chugging beers and getting laid, Miller (Miles Teller) arrives to town to meet his two best high school pals, Casey (Skylar Astin) and Jeff Chang (Justin Chon), for the latter's 21st birthday. Jeff insists they stay in the next morning is his big medical school interview but no, Miller insists that friends don't let friends go uncelebrated. "I am going to f**k you with alcohol," Miller proclaims with terrifying authority. And so the adventure begins: what starts as a round of beers explodes into a rampage through the college campus bar scene. When Jeff slow-motion vomits while riding a mechanical bull (an expulsion repeated four times over), the friends decide it's finally time to go home. Except, they have no idea where home is.
With Jeff blacked out, Miller and Casey set off to find someone who has a clue. All of the answers have a road block; hoping to find their friend Nicole (Sarah Wright), the men sneak into a Hispanic sorority. Focus becomes their biggest dilemma after Miller and Casey stumble upon two new pledges waiting to be "punished" by their "Pledgemistress." Who can resist spanking two co-eds under the guise of hazing? These two can't. When they're discovered, they run to their next insane scenario, Lucas and Moore turning the Hispanic sorority girls into 21 & Over's version of the Hangover gangsters. It wouldn't feel as offensive as it does if the reasoning and execution wasn't clunkier than drunk Jeff Chang walking on two feet.
21 & Over's great offense is its complete misuse of two great young actors. Since Rabbit Hole, Teller has honed a keen sense of timing in both drama and comedy, while Astin impressed with charm and wit in Pitch Perfect. Here, Lucas and Moore fill their leads' mouths with cheap dialogue, a type of lowbrow insight that makes Tucker Max look like Henry David Thoreau. Beyond their cookie cutter characters (Miller can't stop clinging to high school; Casey doesn't know how to cut loose and have fun), the two bark quips at one another that would immediately drive any normal human beings apart. Miller digs at Casey for not recalling Nicole's sorority letters because they were on her shirt, and clearly, if he was a man, he should be staring at her chest. Nicole even belittles Casey for his inability to party apparently his passion for NPR and dream of a job after college are misguided. Dude, take a shot! That's what life is about.
Teller and Astin do make the whirlwind of hate palatable, but never funny. The only laughs come from a pack of male cheerleaders, whose conception as another angry group chasing Miller and Casey seems to be an excuse to crack a Karate Kid joke. Late in the game, 21 & Over reveals its dramatic undertones and that's when it crosses the line from inane to morally irresponsible. Lucas and Moore want to challenge their 21-year-old protagonists. Instead, they let them off the hook. There are no consequences for the people in this movie. There are no rude awakenings. Our heroes threaten people with guns, decimate a college quad while outdriving the cops, and eventually punch Jeff Chang's dad in the face, but they're in the right. If we were laughing at them as they destroyed their lives, that might be entertaining. Instead, 21 & Over is just a boring lesson in why beer pong and one-night stands should be the number one priority in life.

The Source
Doug Erickson reflects on family's Lewis & Clark legacy
April 30, 2012
This weekend College Archivist Doug Erickson and his family will celebrate their latest family member's graduation from Lewis & Clark. Doug's son Nick Erickson, who will graduate on Sunday, is the great-great-great-grandson of Cora Jean Irvine Stewart, a member of the first graduating class in 1873. Doug's wife, Stacy Johnson Erickson—who graduated with her M.A.T. from Lewis & Clark in 1998—is Cora's great-great-granddaughter.
The Source caught up with Doug to find out more about his family's legacy.
What can you tell us about your wife's great-great-grandmother and Lewis & Clark's first graduating class?
Cora Jean Irvine was one of four women to first graduate in 1873 from Albany Collegiate Institute, as it was first known.
In her book Lewis and Clark College 1867-1967, author Martha Frances Montague wrote: "Albany always received women on equal terms with men, never keeping them separate in academic work or making special rules for them, as some neighboring colleges. Both were 'scholars' or students, and often the scholastic records of the women were higher than those of the men. The only concession made to the women was that English courses might be substituted for higher mathematics."
What was her major—did they have majors back then? And what did she go on to become?
Cora married on June 4, 1877. Her daughter never mentioned a major. She did not work outside the home because they were well-to-do. She became a mother of 10 children: 8 boys and 2 girls. Stanley Stewart (b. 1878); William Edgar Stewart (b. 1879)—this is who left all of the money for the dorm and the trust; a son (name not found) who died in 1884; Mary Raine Stewart (b. 1881); Charles Hall Stewart (b. 1882); Elliot Harper Stewart (b. 1886); Samuel Stewart (b. 1887); Ralph Stewart (b. 1889); Kate Stewart (b. 1890); and Robert Lansing Stewart (b.1895). Her husband, C.H. Stewart, was a county commissioner in Albany.
Can you tell us what made your son choose to come to Lewis & Clark?
There were a few different reasons that made Lewis & Clark a natural choice for Nick. To begin with, Nick was incredibly familiar and aware of the culture here at Lewis & Clark. I came to work for Lewis & Clark when Nick was 1 year old and it is as if Nick grew up on campus. Nick's mom, Stacy, started graduate school here when Nick was 2 and finished when he was 8, which meant he spent a great deal of time running around campus. We lived across the street when Nick was a teenager, which brought the campus even closer. When Nick was due to graduate from high school, he fell ill and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. He decided that he wanted to stay close home and the natural choice was Lewis & Clark. His experience was so positive that his younger brother Colton decided to attend also and is currently finishing up his freshman year.
Besides your wife's great-great-grandmother and your son Nick attending college here, are there other parallels in your family's history as it relates to Lewis & Clark?
- Stewart Hall is named after Cora Irvine Stewart
- Cora Irvine Stewart's children attended Lewis & Clark
- Nick's mom, Stacy Johnson Erickson, graduated with her M.A.T. in 1998
- Nick's younger brother, Colton Erickson, is a member of the Class of 2015
What strikes you as the most unique moment in Lewis & Clark's history during the time that you've been here?
There are so many. From an institutional standpoint, I think the acquisition of the Corbett Estate; the building of Howard, Miller, and Fields; and the expansion of Watzek were important moments that improved the physical plant of the college and helped to provide excellent spaces for learning. Personally, I have enjoyed the opportunity to watch my family grow up here, my oldest two sons going to school here, and my wife graduating with her M.A.T. and then going on for her doctorate in education at University of Oregon. Having my closest friends being my coworkers. I could not be happier or more proud.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Lewis & Clark has been a place I have called home for 21 years. It has been a wonderful opportunity for me and my family.

University of Hawaii at Mānoa receives approval for Bachelor of Arts in Creative MediaUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
External Affairs & University Relations
HILO, HAWAIʻI — During its monthly meeting held today at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, the University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents (BOR) approved the Bachelor of Arts in Creative Media at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The new degree program will support the state's economy by ensuring the best of Hawaiʻi's media talent can remain in the islands and sustain the growing technical and production crews.
The Bachelor of Arts in Creative Media, effective fall 2009, will be administered by the Academy of Creative Media (ACM). ACM is uniquely positioned to meet state needs in the preparation of a trained workforce that will help establish and enhance a Hawaiʻi filmmaking industry and intellectual property economy. The program prepares students to take creative and leadership roles as directors, producers and designers, and who can originate productions and attract global productions to the islands. As one of the few schools globally with a unique focus in indigenous filmmaking, it will empower students to tell their own stories of Hawaiʻi, the Pacific and Asia rather than have those stories told for them.
Established by the BOR in January 2004 as an academic unit focusing on the study and production of cinematic and digital media, ACM has expanded from its original three-course offering to 39 courses. Student enrollment has grown from 37 in spring 2004 to 320 in spring 2009, and student majors have grown from zero to 120 active majors in spring 2009. Thirty-four students have graduated from UH Mānoa with the Interdisciplinary Studies/Creative Media major.

News and Events: Press releases
Central Asian countries agree to improve quality and access to education by 2015
In a unique initiative of regional cooperation, delegates from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan addressed the critical problems of their common education reform plan and barriers to the achievement of Education For All (EFA) and Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
UNICEF welcomes this renewed commitment of education officials from the five Central Asian countries, said Yukie Mokuo, UNICEF Tajikistan Representative.
Some Central Asian republics faced the challenges of maintaining access to universal education, while some countries confronted worse completion rates of 9 years compulsory education.
Sustaining the quality of education was a key issue of the discussion. Country delegates acknowledged that investment in education was a critical factor for successful reform, sustainable development of the society and the protection of a basic child right.
Ms. Yukie Mokuo, UNICEF Representative in Tajikistan observed that ...such regional institutional frameworks can move social issues to center stage and solve social problems like girls education and introduce new ideas like Early Childhood Development (ECD). However, in future, greater childrens participation is also required.
On the first day of the Forum new experiences in reforming the education system in member countries were introduced. New ideas, such as per capita financing and institutional mechanisms for managing the education system, were introduced by guest speakers from the Government of Samara in the Russian Federation.
On the second day of the Forum, thematic groups on Girls Education, Life Skills Based Education, Adult Education presented their plans of actions. A new thematic group on ECD was introduced and Turkmenistan, attendeding the Forum for the first time, was nominated to lead the group. The Forum adopted a strong, practical, mutual problem solving approach within the region.
The Forum participants also called on donor agencies to beef up their support, particularly in financing reform process. The Forum strongly pointed to the need for greater coordination and cooperation among donor agencies which include the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, UNICEF, UNESCO, GTZ and others.
Education specialists from UNICEF, the regional office and HQ also made presentations on Early Childhood Development and Girls Education.
Closing, CARK country delegates resolved to continue exchange opportunities and move forward to achieve the goals of EFA and MDG.

2 Billion Jobs Could Disappear By 2030
As if there wasn't already a shortage of job opportunities in America right now, futurist Thomas Frey predicts that as many as 2 billion jobs could disappear by 2030.
Noting that the United States has already lost much of its manual labor force because of outsourcing to other countries, Frey says technology will likely be the culprit in the next wave of depleted jobs in the next 18 years. There are five industries that are expected to take the biggest hit: the power industry, Automotive Transportation, Education, 3D Printing, and Bots, but with the changing infrastructure, new jobs—thankfully–will be created as well.
The most interesting of these areas is education. Online classes have become a common offering from most colleges and the University of Phoenix allows thousands of students to earn degrees virtually each year. The rise of iTunes U and the Khan Academy are expected to lead the way in this digital education. iTunes U offers more than 500,000 courses from 1,000 universities that have been downloaded more than 700 million times and they are absolutely free. Khan specializes in math and science, offering more than 2,400 courses that have been downloaded 116 million times. This trend has interesting implications for the future of education as classroom teachers get replaced by downloadable learning modules, not to mention the elimination of horrifically expensive student loans to get a degree. It's not unfathomable that self-education by way of online training could become the norm, especially now that iTunes U is moving into the K-12 space and MIT is currently looking into developing similar education models.
It's scary to think about the American workforce changing so rapidly within a short period of time but it's really not unlike other times in our country's past like the industrial period. Still, the effects of so much dependency on technology have yet to be seen.
What do you think about the idea of strictly virtual education or driverless cars like the one Google has already created? Will technology lead to a positive work force shift or a negative one?

A benefit event for Donna J. Rhoades will be held from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Saturday at the Punxsy Eagles Club.
Rhoades, who was a former Groundhog Festival Committee member and former owner of Winslow Pizza, began battling uterine/ovarian cancer back in 2010.
After a long series of treatments and PET scans were completed, Rhoades was thought to be cancer-free.
Months later, another PET scan was conducted, and Rhoades was diagnosed with a cancerous lymph node in her abdomen.
All proceeds from the event will go towards Rhoades' medical and travel expenses.
There will be food available at the event, in addition to live music from "Bruce, Chris, Cory and Kevin."
A silent auction will be held featuring an autographed puck by Penguins' veteran goalie Tomas Vokoun, an ammo basket and numerous donations from local merchants and friends of Rhoades.
Tickets are available in advance for $6 or at the door on the night of the event for $7; one must be age 21 and up to attend.
For more information, contact Kathy Slagle at (814) 952-8756 or Lesa Walker at (824) 249-2083.
