Presidential Campaigns Have Little Impact on Direct Mail Fundraising
(Sept. 2, 2008) While charities are facing numerous challenges in the current fundraising environment, the presidential election isn't one of them, according to a new research report.
Measuring the Impact of Political Fundraising on Nonprofit Direct Mail Performance, conducted by Columbia, Md.-based Merkle, revealed that political elections have no noticeable impact on charitable contributions and that both types of giving—political and charitable—can coexist and even increase.
Political contributions from individuals have grown dramatically, from $220 million during the 2000 campaign to more than $700 million to date for the 2008 cycle. Charitable contributions dwarf these numbers, rising from just over $200 billion in 2000 to more than $300 billion in 2008, with individual contributions making up approximately three-quarters of those amounts.
Different Types of Donors
The report also found that charitable and political donors have different demographics in general.
Political campaign donors are typically younger. At least one-third of all nonprofit contributors are 76 years of age or older, compared with less than 8 percent for political contributors and 7 percent for all donors. About half of all political contributors are between the ages of 46 and 60. Similarities between nonprofit and political contributors are only found in donors between 56 and 70 years of age.
In terms of gender, 75 percent of those who give political contributions are male. But of those who support nonprofit organizations, less than 42 percent are male.
One of the most dramatic differences between nonprofit donors and political donors is found in household income. People who give to presidential campaigns tend to have higher incomes (50 percent above $100,000), while those who give to nonprofit organizations tend to have moderate to low incomes (50 percent between $25,000 and $75,000).
About the Report
An executive summary of the report is available free of charge at the Merkle website.
To develop the report, Merkle look at large amounts of historical direct mail performance data – from a group of large national nonprofits from various sectors, including health, environmental, military, political, domestic relief and international aid – and compared it with political contribution data obtained from the Federal Election Commission.
Merkle provides strategic consulting, database services, content solutions, analytical services, interactive and creative services, and production services to Fortune 1000 companies and leading nonprofit organizations.

Top-Ranked SU Relay For Life Returns May 4-5
SALISBURY, MD---For the past three years, Salisbury University's Relay For Life has been named one of the top collegiate Relays in the nation and organizers are gearing up for another highly successful event in May.
Opening ceremonies for the American Cancer Society's signature fundraising event begin 6 p.m. Friday, May 4, at SU's Intramural Fields. Closing ceremonies are 6 a.m. Saturday, May 5. Nearly 90 teams of SU students, faculty and staff are participating along with families and community groups.
"We are very excited about this year's event and our fundraising efforts are in full-swing," said junior Julie Bayer, co-chair of the upcoming Relay. "It's an awesome night and all of our donations go directly to the society and its services." She said organizers hope this year's Relay will convey to participants more about the mission of the ACS.
More than $50,000 has already been pledged. All proceeds benefit cancer research, education, patient services and advocacy programs.
Last year, SU's Relay was No. 2 in the nation among mid-size colleges, raising some $138,000 for the society, said Kim Bartlett, former SU co-chair. The amount surpassed 2005 totals, despite bad weather and a shift indoors that prevented some teams from participating, she said.
With the hope of increasing participation and dollars raised, organizers are continuing the fight against cancer online again this year, with an interactive Web site that accepts registrations and credit card donations. For more information about the event and cancer related topics visit the site at www.acsevents.org/SUrelay.
The American Cancer Society is a nationwide community-based organization dedicated to eliminating cancer through efforts such as Relay For Life, which in the past 20 years has spread to more than 4,500 U.S. communities and 12 foreign countries. For more information contact Bayer at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kids Can Change the World!
We believe that kids of all ages have the imagination, drive, and ability to come up with innovative ways to change our world for the better. In other words, they have what it takes to be social entrepreneurs. Our definition of social entrepreneurism is creating a venture or business that can help solve social problems or benefit society. For children, this can mean creating things to sell, providing a special service, or organizing an event to earn money for a cause or to create what many experts call "social value." Take Alex Scott, for example. She was only four years old and fighting cancer when she started her lemonade stand to raise money for cancer research. After one year, she raised $2,000. By the time she was 8, she had raised $1 million through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. To be clear, we are not suggesting that we teach young kids to run their own businesses or balance a spreadsheet. However, we feel there is great value to 1) parents and educators becoming more aware of the basic concepts of social entrepreneurism so that 2) they have valuable knowledge to pass on to the kids in their lives. Because every child is different, some may be ready for this kind of learning experience during their preschool years -- like Alex Scott -- while others may show greater interest in elementary or middle school. By being able to impart simple and meaningful examples social entrepreneurism to our kids at young ages, we are helping them belief in their power to take action and make a difference in their world.
What's the Value?
Social entrepreneurial ventures have become an important part of today's economy. In the past, charitable organizations and government agencies focused on addressing our world's many challenges such as poverty, the environment, education, and health. Over time, it became clear that more ideas, resources, and approaches were needed to help tackle the growing number of issues around the globe. Businesses began to emerge that were dedicated to helping find solutions to today's problems, bringing with them a new generation of innovators and problems solvers using the social entrepreneurial model. Simply put, "social entrepreneurism is as vital to the progress of societies as entrepreneurship is to the progress of economies." (So say Roger L. Martin and Sally Osberg in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Spring 2007.) The field of entrepreneurship has been incorporated into educational curriculum at all levels and has been shown to result in numerous benefits including greater awareness of personal talents and skills, enhanced creativity and problem solving skills, improved academics and attendance, and grasping basics about economy, finances and social responsibility. If we place value on fostering the entrepreneurial spirit in young kids, our hope is that social entrepreneurism is not too far behind.
Need for Action
Many reputable organizations such as Ashoka, EchoingGreen, and the Skoll Foundation are inspiring and supporting teens and young adults to be social entrepreneurs. Thanks to these organizations and others, the field of social entrepreneurism has expanded significantly in the last few years. But little to no attention is being giving to teaching our nation's youngest talent -- our future problem solvers. Rather than just talk about this topic, we should act. That's why YesKidzCan! is launching the Social KidPreneuerz Awards Program. The program will present $100 awards to kids (in grades 3-5) to inspire them to undertake an entrepreneurial activity that benefits society. While modest in size, each award brings with it a substantial feeling of responsibility and ownership and requires a commitment to complete the task. The intention is to plant the seed of social entrepreneurism among younger generations, instilling in them the belief that they can shape their world. The awards program also offers a great opportunity for teenagers to guide younger siblings or children through this project. In addition, YesKidzCan! has learning tools for parents, teachers and community/faith leaders to gain more knowledge for themselves as well as to use with kids in grades 3-5.
The Shape of Things to Come
There have been documented examples of social entrepreneurism dating back to the 17th century. And, while many people today are still unfamiliar with the topic, this is beginning to change with popular social enterprises gaining mainstream prominence. For example, Paul Newman built a multi-million dollar corporation called Newman's Own which sells salad dressings and other products with 100% of the revenues going to support children's causes. Kids are naturally curious and creative. Combine this with giving them a greater understanding of social entrepreneurism, and we are helping them see that they have what it takes to "be the change" as Gandhi said. You never know. Tonight at the dinner table, you may just be sitting across from the next Alex Scott or Paul Newman.

What is Adult Education?
In today's economy, almost all workers need to have a high school diploma or GED in order to move beyond an entry-level position. Arizona Center for Youth Resources (ACYR) gives youth (ages 16-24), and their families (ages 16+), a chance to enroll in Adult Education classes. We want students to have a chance for more successful employment and continuing education opportunities. But what is Adult Education?
Adult Education includes:
Adult Basic Education (ABE), which improves basic reading and math skills for adults.
High School Equivalency (HSE) Preparation, which prepares students to pass the GED test.
English Language Acquisition for Adults (ELAA), also known as ESL, which teaches adults English reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
Civics with ELAA, English Language Acquisition for Adults (ELAA) and Civics Classes For learners 16 and older who want to improve their English language speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
We offer face-to-face instruction, online classes (Distance Learning), as well as a combination of the two (Hybrid) classes, for additional flexibility. Students 16-24 can also sign up for one of our ACYR Workforce programs, which offers more training and possible financial help with the GED test.
What do you need?
Are you looking for:
Classes in Central Phoenix, West and East Valley locations?
A caring, highly-qualified teacher?
Small classes, which make sure you get the attention you need?
Training to help you get ready for career and college?
Then our classes could work for you!
Did you know…
A high school dropout will earn $200,000 less over a lifetime than someone with a high school diploma or GED. A high school dropout will earn almost $1,000,000 less over a lifetime than a college graduate.
In 2013, approximately 1 out of every 8 dropouts was unemployed. Only 1 out of 12 people with a high school diploma or GED was unemployed.
The GED diploma is accepted at more than 95% of colleges and universities.
What's the next step?
Students should call our main office to sign up and schedule an orientation.

June 25, 2013
June 25, 2013
Basic education in Brazil begins with the pre-school level, daycare centers and kindergartens for children up to three years and pre-schools for children aged four to six years. Public pre-schools are free of charge, but tend to be poorly funded and overcrowded. There are many alternatives in the private sector, including hiring a nanny, but these would be beyond the reach of a basic teaching salary.
Compulsory education begins at the age of six, and all children attend elementary school and middle school for a total of nine years. Afterwards, students can choose to go on to high school for another three years. Public schools are free of charge. But if you're moving to Brazil with children, they can only enroll in public schools if they have sufficient Portuguese skills and pass the aptitude test set by the school. There are also some private schools run by the Catholic church. International schools in the major cities mostly teach a US or UK curriculum or may offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) program.

Dork Diaries 1: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life
1. Nikki is starting at a new private school. How does she learn about the culture of the school and figure out who is trustworthy? Have you ever had to start over at a new school? If yes, how did it feel? If no, how do you think you would act the first few days?
2. When Nikki's mom tells her she's getting a back-to-school present that will help her "communicate her thoughts and feelings," she is so excited because she thinks it will be a new cell phone. Instead, Nikki's mom gives her a diary. Nikki is incredibly disappointed, not just because she didn't get a cell phone, but also because she thinks a paper diary is outdated. Despite her initial resistance, Nikki ends up writing a lot in her diary. Do you think paper diaries are outdated? Would you rather share your thoughts and commentary about school life privately in a diary, or more publicly using an online forum such as a blog or social networking site like Facebook?
3. Nikki feels that her bedroom should be her own private space. At school, she, Chloe, and Zoey use the janitor's closet for their meetings. Do you have your own bedroom or another special space that feels like it is all your own? If so, who makes up the rules for this special place? If you could have complete do see more

December 4th 2004, we finished building the kiln. At this day, many people joined, and helped each other. After finishing, we had to cover the kiln by plastic sheet, because of the rain. That's why I couldn't take photo of whole the kiln. I will take the photo again and update. We are planning to have firing next spring 2005.

Kawai Kanjiro Museum in Kyoto
e-yakimono net by Robert Yellin has Kanjiro Kawai Museum's information and article.
On the way to Kyoto Station, we had time to stop by Kanjiro Kawai Museum inKyoto in the morning. As you know, Kanjiro Kawai was one of the leaders of Mingei Movement, like Shoji Hamada, Barnard Leach, Soetsu Yanagi. Kanjiro Kawai was very very nice traditional craftsman but he never stopped researching new technique and materials like a pioneer. Since he died in 1966, his house and studio was renewed as a private museum and people can see and walk around in it nowadays.

From California, USA:
I was born an Rh factor baby, in 1968, by C-section. I had antibodies in my blood and had three blood transfusions. I was born with an allergy to milk. At 18 months old, I developed ketogenic hypoglycemia. I had suffered from seizures, comas, and once during a insulin test suffered clinical death. Until I was 16 years old I lived in the country. My father was a farmer. Farms of cotton were on all sides of our house. I never would eat much, but I have memories of eating a lot of chocolate and ice cream that I am sure my mom never told my doctor about. Every year, a couple of times, the farms would be dusted with chemicals and, even though the windows were closed, we would be able to smell it. Now, everyone in my family has either allergies alone or also asthma. And the next generation is being born with both. I have not lived there for some 17 years, but still have allergies and now have asthma. Can food allergies and other allergies to say, crop chemicals, cause a reaction so bad as to cause a drop in blood sugar?
I was also diagnosed as having an allegry to the protein in bovine insulin. Needless to say, since I have hypoglycemia, back in 1968, there was a power struggle between my mother and a few nurses who wanted to give me insulin, while my mother was trying to tell them I was allergic to it.
Can you tell me if there have ever been any in depth studies of ketogenic hypoglycemia or if any of the high-low blood sugar diseases can have a connection to or can be made worse by allergies? Could over or under production of insulin and sugar be the endocrine system reacting to a allergy? Histamine production is on a cell level when it comes to allergies. Maybe sugar problems are a cell level allergy problem that crosses over into a system wide reaction to a allergy making it dangerous on more than one level. And could my allergies lead to hyperglycemia one day?
In short, no. I do not think their is a relationship between the allergic symptoms and a severe low blood sugar.

Further to reports that Chrome OS is close to launch, we now have more confirmation that the platform isn't too far off - Google is apparently going to hold an event on 19 November that will reveal all about current progress of the OS, a broad overview of its features, and show a few demos.
Sundar Pichai, Google's VP of product management and Matthew Papakipos, Google engineering director for Google Chrome OS will be speaking at the event, but it seems like the original rumours that the platform could launch this week were a little premature - Google says the platform will instead be launching next year.
However, it's entirely possible that some preview code will be made available so that developers can begin to explore the platform and possibility of porting their applications to it. If Chrome OS is to succeed, it'll need to have at least a little software support - however much of that is web-based.

Jeffrey Saad's Book Signing At Maya Del Sol
I have followed Jeffrey for several years, so naturally when one of my favorite restaurants Maya Del Sol in Oak Park, IL posted that he would be there signing his new cook book Jeffrey Saad's Global Kitchen: Recipes Without Borders I said to myself I must go. The book about what Jeff and the way he is able to put a global spin on familiar dishes. He also breaks down the core spices and teaches you how they are used in different ethnic cuisine's.
Meeting Jeff was fun and great learning experience on my journey of culinary supremacy. One of the thing that really stood out to me while watching his cooking demo was how he loved to involve the children there. His belief that if you invite your kids into the kitchen it will help build relationships and give them life skills the need. Heck they might even make you dinner one day!

Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks Can't Win with Flawed TeamDecember 19, 2013
Pinching each other won't wake Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks up from this nightmare.
Nothing has come easy for the Knicks, winners of 54 games last season, who are on pace for around half that (26 or 27) this year. Worse, there's no magic cure for what's ailing them. No one corrective measure to be taken.
Ideally, the Knicks would fix this or that, synthesize presently absent levity and confidence and start winning like the Oklahoma City Thunder unchained. But the Knicks aren't in optimal quarters. They aren't an ideal team. To this point, they've been just the opposite, hapless and wretched, pleading for victories while they find new ways to lose.
And so it goes for an abject New York team swiftly approaching its biggest offseason in nearly four years, when Anthony will become a free agent, armed with the power to journey elsewhere or remain with a franchise that, when left alone, is flawed beyond sufficient repair.
Ransacked by Injuries
Health, much like the concept of time, eludes the Knicks.
Tyson Chandler only just returned from a leg injury, leaving him one of the healthiest players on the roster. Chew on that for a second, and try not to spit it out.
Pablo Prigioni has a fractured toe, Kenyon Martin is recovering from an abdominal strain, Raymond Felton continues to battle hamstring issues and Amar'e Stoudemire is either seriously injured or the victim of poor communication.
Not even those on the floor are at full strength, like J.R. Smith, who continues to meander somewhere between still injured and not-quite healthy.
"I don't think he's still 100 percent," Woodson said previously, on ESPN Radio 98.7 FM in New York, as transcribed by the New York Post's Marc Berman. "I don't know if he'll ever be this season based on the surgery he had this offseason. I have to be patient with him."
Preexisting conditions are no excuse, but Swish has the sickly shooting percentages to prove it (33.3 percent overall; 33.6 percent from deep). And you better believe Anthony's body is aching from averaging a league-leading 39.8 minutes per contest.
Able-bodied players are needed to win, and the Knicks are short on those, leaving them even shorter on hope.
Can They Get a PG? Pretty Please? With Sugar on Top?
Yeah, yeah, the health thing again. The injury bug has ripped through New York's point guard corps like Rudy Gay does stat sheets. Yet even when they're healthy, the Knicks' stable of floor generals is underwhelming.
Chief among them in Priggy Smalls, the 36-year-old sophomore. New York's offensive rating with Prig on the floor (105.6) equates to the seventh-best mark in the league, according to NBA.com (subscription required).
But the good news ends with Prig, the injured point man old enough to make you wonder whether he can log 30-plus minutes on a consistent basis upon return. There is no one of substantial value other than him. Not Felton, Udrih or Toure' Murry. Most certainly not Chris Smith, either.
Did I forget to mention that? He's back from the D-League, sitting on the sideline, waiting for an opportunity to actually play.
Smith. Swish's younger brother. On the sidelines. Potentially seeing time. The same Smith who one general manager told Yahoo! Sports' Wojnarowski was "maybe the worst player in the history of the [NBA] summer league." That Smith. That's where the Knicks are at right now.
Their offensive rating is 101.6 overall, and they're approaching that mark with Prig and only Prig. All the other point guards are guiding them toward mostly bottom-10 level offenses.
Look at all the elite teams. Most of them have top-notch playmakers.
The Miami Heat have LeBron James; the San Antonio Spurs have Tony Parker; the Portland Trail Blazers have Damian Lillard; the Los Angeles Clippers have Chris Paul; and the Thunder have Russell Westbrook. The Indiana Pacers are the exception, but they're a defensive juggernaut, something the Knicks also aren't.
Interest in Kyle Lowry wasn't borne out of gravy-flavored Pixy Stix. The Knicks need a point guard. Someone other than Prigioni.
Supporting Cast Blues
New York's supporting cast wasn't always this vile.
Last year, Smith won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award, and the team's bench ranked fourth in scoring. This season, it's been all doom, gloom and botched Smith jumpers.
The Knicks' second unit ranks 17th in scoring through 25 games, in what is a tragic turn of events. Depth was New York's hook. The reason it could actually contend.
One night, it could be Anthony. The next, it could be Smith. Then Stoudemire. Then Anthony again. Andrea Bargnani, too.
But it's been all Anthony early on. He's led the team in scoring every game. Every. Single. Game. Though admirable and a testament to his importance in some ways, it's mostly disturbing.
Anthony needs a No. 2. Smith's outlying 2012-13 campaign is the closest he's ever come to such relief while in New York. STAT's been constantly injured, and Bargnani only just arrived. 'Melo hasn't been given the second star he was promised, the equal he wants.
Visions of a sidekick materializing from the slags of players New York assembled have vanished, vanquished by the increasingly poor play of vital pinions.
Smith is having a season to forget, a year that can be encapsulated by his recent performance in Milwaukee, where he dropped 21 points on 7-of-23 shooting, including a 5-of-17 effort from deep.
Swish has been bombing away like crazy, attempting 128 total three-pointers to 106 two-balls, putting him on pace to reach a historic mark:
That would be all fine and dandy if Smith were shooting at a high clip, which he's not. He's making just over a third of his outside shots, by no means warranting such a shoot-from-the-hip mentality. But that's Smith.
And this is Bargnani:
Now that was some special, crap-emitting decision-making by Bargs. And the Knicks in general.
Never mind attacking the rim in an attempt to reach the foul line and pad your lead. Let's settle for long twos! And isolation! And then, when a "Tyson Tip-Out" goes our way, forcing the defense to foul us, we'll shoot a three instead! And miss it! And blow our lead! And barely pull it out in the second overtime!
If you're looking for the Knicks' season summed up in a paragraph, that's the best I can do.
What Is Winning?
Some buffoon predicted the Knicks would win the Atlantic Division, finishing third or fourth in the Eastern Conference. That dunce was me.
But I stand by my prediction. I also once gave my girlfriend cash for Christmas and actively participated in Tuxedo Tuesdays, so make of that what you will.
The Eastern Conference remains wide open, which is sad. Three teams are above .500, and the Knicks, at 8-17, are two games outside the playoff picture, three off the Atlantic Division lead and 5.5 games behind third place.
You can't make this stuff up. The Eastern Conference is terrible, making it likely the Knicks can rebound from this disastrous start.
Rising in the East has the aesthetic appeal of Velcro, though. It doesn't qualify as winning. Not for these Knicks.
Sources told ESPN New York's Ian Begley in October that Knicks owner James Dolan expects to win a championship this season:
In a recent meeting with the coaching staff and some team executives, Dolan said he believes the Knicks have enough talent to win a title and that he expects them to do so this season, league sources with knowledge of the owner's message during the meeting confirmed.
'He told them he believes they have enough talent to win it all,' one source said, 'and he expects it to happen this year.'
There is no title to be won or legitimately contended for in New York this season. Rest assured, I'm including the Brooklyn Nets in that little caveat, but we're Knicks-specific here.
These Knicks rank 19th in offensive efficiency and 24th in defensive efficiency. They're 8-17 and in possession of the league's sixth-worst record.
The mental fortitude and leadership that helped them win 54 games last season, and would've prevented this current slump, is gone. So the Knicks are finished. In terms of winning a championship, they're kaput.
"We won, we move forward, continue being positive," Anthony said following New York's ugly win in Milwaukee, per the New York Daily News' Frank Isola. "I don't want to think if we didn't pull this game out."
Likewise, proponents of winning, who expected the Knicks to contend for a championship this season, won't want to see what comes next.

CHURCHVILLE, VA—"Environmentalists are standing in the way of feeding humanity through their opposition to biotechnology, farm chemicals and nitrogen fertilizer"—straight talk from billionaire Bill Gates at the World Food Prize Symposium in Des Moines October 15th
Gates could have said with equal truth that the same environmentalists, by demanding organic-only farming, are risking the future of the planet's wildlife. The world will need more than twice as much food by 2050 to feed a peak population of 8 billion affluent humans and their pets. Gates believes we should get that additional food from higher yields on the 37 percent of the earth's land area we already farm, not by threatening massive numbers of wildlife species by clearing more land for low-yield crops.
Gates has thus delivered the most important speech on food and the world's future since Dr. Norman Borlaug accepted his 1970 Nobel Peace Prize. Borlaug's "miracle wheat" had made him the symbol of the original Green Revolution, which tripled yields on the world's best cropland through scientific research after 1960. Dr. Borlaug spent the last years of his amazing life trying to extend the Green Revolution to Africa and many farming regions with marginal lands, where today more than 1 billion people try to feed their families with hunting and slash-and-burn farming.
Now, Gates has committed more than $1 billion of his personal fortune to improving crop yields in Africa and marginal farming regions. He announced in Des Moines another $120 million in gifts for additional farm productivity research, including support for drought-tolerant corn and pest-resistant sweet potatoes. Until this moment, Gates had not spoken out on the use of biotech and chemicals to continue raising world crop yields.
Britain's Royal Society has also just produced a study, Reaping the Benefits: Science and the Sustainable Intensification of Agriculture. Led by Dr. David Baulcombe, this report also concludes that biotech crops are one of the technologies urgently needed to avoid a global food crisis.
The eco-activists have claimed that organic-only farming could provide all the food needed—but only if humanity became vegetarian. Otherwise, there's a severe global shortage of cow manure and "extra" land and water to plant vastly more nitrogen-fixing green manure crops. However, history tells us that only a tiny percent of humans voluntarily choose to be vegetarian.
The Center for Global Food Issues and the reports of the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology say even going vegetarian wouldn't save enough land from the plow. More research must be brought to the farms in the coming decades to avoid wildlife disaster. The saving grace to date is that we've farmed the best land, which had large numbers of a few species; expanding onto the poor soils will threaten huge numbers of species.
Ironically, another speaker at the World Food Prize Symposium—economist Jeffrey Sachs who directs the Earth Institute at Columbia University—criticized agriculture as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Sachs, of course, was implying that either the world's people must somehow sharply cut back on food and manufacturing, or cut human numbers by some enormous percentage.
It was an ironic reminder that the first Green Revolution lost its momentum after its funding from the Rockefeller Foundation had been drastically cut back. Ethicist Garrett Hardin tells us that Allan Gregg, a Rockefeller vice president, was one of the first to refer to population growth as "a cancer on the earth." The government agencies that took over support for the international agricultural research network after Rockefeller dropped it have not been able to stand up to the political clout of the green movement.
Once again private philanthropy may provide the final step toward a world of adequately fed people and abundant wild-lands, as it did during the first Green Revolution.

|Taylor batting against Pakistan © Reuters
(8 matches, 324 runs at 64.8, hs 131*)
A strong batting performance for New Zealand's next ODI captain. Ross Taylor had only one failure in his World Cup, when he was dismissed for 7 against Australia in Nagpur. His stand-out innings was the match-winning 131 not out against Pakistan in Pallekele, in which he peppered the crowd with eight fours and seven sixes. Against the weaker Canadian bowling attack in Mumbai he plundered 74 off only 44 balls. He also captained the side in the two matches Daniel Vettori missed.
Tim Southee
(8 matches; 18 wkts, av 17.3, 4.31 rpo)
The New Zealand bowling success story of the World Cup, 22-year-old Tim Southee has apparently responded well to intensive physical training in Christchurch and the advice offered by the new bowling coach, the legendary South African champion Allan Donald. His 18 wickets place him second on the tournament leaderboard after the first semi-final, and the scalps have come at an excellent average without the by-product of an expensive run rate. His best performance in an innings was only three wickets, but tellingly he managed this feat no less than five times, against Kenya, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, and in both matches against Sri Lanka. So far in 2011 Southee has 25 wickets at an average of 21.1, which is scorching form in anyone's book. After several years of hot-and-cold inconsistency, New Zealand cricket fans would love Southee to keep doing whatever it is he's doing!
Martin Guptill
(8 matches, 262 runs at 43.7, hs 86*)
A solid achievement in the opening slot for Martin Guptill, who earned a man of the match award for his 86 not out against Zimbabwe in Ahmedabad, which helped to deliver a 10 wicket win. He also contributed a valuable 57 in the win over Pakistan. Two failures against Australia (10) and South Africa (1) dented his figures, and he will be disappointed to have missed out on a second ODI century in the Zimbabwe match.
Brendon McCullum
(8 matches, 256 runs at 42.7, hs 101; 8 catches, 1 stumping)
(8 matches, 256 runs at 42.7, hs 101; 8 catches, 1 stumping)
McCullum's figures are good overall, but are skewed by his 76 not out against Zimbabwe and 101 against Canada. Against test-playing bowling attacks he only managed 53 runs at a pitiful average of 10.6, showing that he needs to brush up his technique if he's to maintain his reputation as a fearsome ODI opener.
Scott Styris
(8 matches, 142 runs at 23.7, hs 57; 4 wkts, av 31.8, 4.43 rpo)
With his considerable experience and reputation for being New Zealand's best player of spin bowling, much was expected of Scott Styris in his last World Cup campaign. Until his final turn at bat he had failed to make a mark, with a duck against Australia, 6 against Sri Lanka, and a string of other scores that failed to amount to a major contribution. However, his gritty 57 off 77 in the semi-final against Sri Lanka in Colombo was vital and showed some of the steel of his best performances. Although he was only used as a part-timer (an average of three and a half overs per game) his bowling was somewhat better, with his two wickets finishing off the Pakistan innings in Pallekele and sealing victory.
Nathan McCullum
(8 matches, 100 runs at 16.7, hs 52; 8 wkts, av 30.1, 4.82 rpo)
In opening the bowling against South Africa with Vettori, Nathan McCullum added his name to the history books by being part of only the fourth occasion in which two spinners opened the bowling attack in an ODI. His best bowling performance came in that match, where his figures were 10-1-24-3, including the prize wicket of opener Hashim Amla, caught at first slip off the keeper's boot. A lower-order impact player with the bat, Nathan McCullum scored a much-needed 52 off 76 against Australia, top scoring in New Zealand's struggle to reach 206. He failed to make a major impression in his other turns at bat, but could generally be relied on to add a few at a run a ball.
Jesse Ryder
(7 matches, 184 runs at 36.8, hs 83; 1 wkt, av 81.0, 5.71 rpo)
Ryder only had five opportunities to bat in this World Cup, and his best innings by far was the patient 83 off 121 balls against South Africa in Dhaka, which was instrumental in building a defensible total. Too many of his other innings failed to build on promising starts, and doubtless he will be disappointed in his return from this tournament. He took the final wicket in Canada's innings at Mumbai, but was expensive in the other matches in which he bowled.
(4 matches, 99 runs at 49.5, hs 38*)
Daniel Vettori
(6 matches, 53 runs at 26.5, hs 44; 3 wkts, av 51.7, 3.60 rpo)
The captain didn't have the greatest World Cup. Despite high expectations of success in the subcontinent, and the prospect of this being his last ODI series as captain, and possibly his last ODIs full stop, Vettori didn't manage to penetrate the defences of his opponents. It looks like they were content to play him out, given that he only gave up 3.60 runs an over, but a haul of only three wickets from six matches must have been highly disappointing for such a talented spinner. As for the batting, his high score of 44 came in the lower order fight-back against Australia, and helped salvage some sort of total. But in this World Cup Vettori batted so low in the order that he had little opportunity to show his class as a batsman who can find gaps in the field to rotate the strike and also conjure up sneaky boundaries. The strategy to send Nathan McCullum in before him should be reconsidered if he is to continue playing ODIs.
Jacob Oram
(6 matches, 59 runs at 19.7, hs 25; 12 wkts, av 18.4, 4.43 rpo)
Oram ripped through Kenya with the ball, taking three wickets in 17 balls in Chennai, and he also dined out against Canada in Mumbai with another three. But his man of the match performance against South Africa (9-1-39-4) won plaudits for the canniness of his bowling. He was also hard to get away in the semi-final, giving up only 29 runs from his eight overs. As for his batting, TV commentators never fail to trot out the line about Jacob Oram being a dangerous hitter, but realistically his batting best is long past him. His last bout of good form with the bat in ODIs was in 2008, and in the last two years his only batting successes have come against Bangladesh. If you discount innings against that nation, leaving only higher-ranked opponents, over that period Oram has returned only 172 runs at 17.2. He's now sent into bat at 8, in the hope that he'll contribute quick runs at the end of the innings, but during this World Cup his main contribution has been with the ball.
James Franklin
(6 matches, 52 runs at 17.3, hs 31*; 0 wkts for 79 runs, 5.64 rpo)
A World Cup to forget for James Franklin, despite plenty of chances. In his six matches he was only asked to bowl a mere 14 overs, and these yielded plenty of runs and no wickets. Perhaps his captain looked at his career stats: in 19 matches in Asia, Franklin has only five wickets at an average of 88. Franklin has been in and out of the New Zealand side for ten years, and more recently has been talked up as a possible replacement for Jacob Oram as a geniune allrounder, sent in to bat at number 6 in his most recent test match. His only innings of note in this World Cup was a brutal 31 not out off only 8 balls (two fours, three sixes) against Canada in Mumbai.
Hamish Bennett
(4 matches; 6 wkts, av 22.0, 5.46 rpo)
A Canterbury 24-year-old who has only been playing internationals for five months, Hamish Bennett suffered an injury and had to return to New Zealand, to be replaced by Daryl Tuffey. In his four matches he impressed with his pace and wicket-taking ability, monstering the Kenyans (5-0-16-4) and snaring both Australian openers despite being hammered for 63 off only seven overs. It is to be hoped that Bennett can continue his good form and recover in time for the next New Zealand tour.
Kane Williamson
A highly promising 20-year-old who has just been signed to John Bracewell's Gloucestershire team for the English county season, Williamson came to the World Cup with only 11 matches under his belt. His four innings comprised three moderate scores that came at a quick clip, including two not outs that helped his average.
(2 matches, 26 runs at 13.0, hs 22)
Kyle Mills
(3 matches; 6 wkts, av 12.3, 3.58 rpo)
Previously the top-ranked ODI bowler in the world, Kyle Mills has been a consistent wicket-taking ODI bowler for New Zealand since 2001. He took six wickets for next-to-nothing in this World Cup, but four of those were against Canadian and Zimbabwean minnows. In the match against Pakistan he was a bit expensive, going for 43 off eight overs, but took the important top-order wickets of opener Ahmed Shahzad for ten and Younis Khan for a duck. Like Bennett, he was injured and replaced, with the overlooked Andy McKay jetting in to take his place for the semi-final.
Jamie How
How was only given two chances in this tournament. Against Australia he was sent in at number 7 and managed an ungainly 22 off 47, while against Pakistan he was sent in at first drop and could only scrape together a paltry 4 off 29. At this rate he'll be back to the New Zealand A team.
Andy McKay
(1 match; 1 wkt, av 37.0, 3.76 rpo)
Out of the New Zealand team since his last appearance against India in December, McKay stepped up with a quality bowling performance in the semi-final against Sri Lanka, bowling one ball short of 10 overs for a miserly 37 runs plus the exciting wicket of danger man Kumar Sangakkara, the Sri Lankan captain. At 30 years of age perhaps McKay will adopt the Chris Martin role in the New Zealand attack, although he will need to work on his batting; perhaps an eyepatch would help.
Luke Woodcock
(1 match; 1 wkt, av 24.0, 4.50 rpo)
In a rare New Zealand ODI outing involving three spinners, Luke Woodcock offered tight bowling and wrapped up the South African innings when he had Morne Morkel caught by Jamie How at long off. It was his first international wicket and only his third ODI.

Book 3 in The Wicked Woodleys
The youngest son of the Woodley clan, Gabriel has been obsessed with bringing his missing twin sister home since she disappeared over two years ago. His drive has forced him to block out all else, including any feelings he may have for the beautiful Juliet Gray. But when she is brought to London by Gabriel's mother, avoiding the desire she inspires becomes impossible.
Juliet never wanted to come to London in the first place, especially since she knows she won't be able to avoid Gabriel, who has been both confusing and drawing her from the moment they met. But to give her father a chance at happiness, she'll stay in town. When Gabriel asks for her help in finding his sister, explosive secrets will be spilled and long suppressed longings will overflow. But will their search bring them love or expose them to a danger that could destroy all they've built?

Ask yourself the following questions, and answer them as specifically as you can, taking lots of notes. The more specific you can get, the more information you will have to help you decide on your major path.
Organize the information you gathered from the questions above into a personal statement. Here's a sample:
My Personal Statement
I love working with people on teams. I enjoy working out concrete problems on my own and coming together with others to discuss the results. I really enjoy lab work because I can see the results of my work. I also enjoy quiet time on my own doing jigsaw puzzles and brainteasers. I am serious, detail-oriented, and concerned about the environment, specifically endangered species.
While this may not seem to point toward a specific major, it will put you in the right frame of mind to talk with faculty, advisors, friends, and family — who can help you come up with suggestions for classes that would align with your interests and traits.
For example, the person in the above example might enjoy taking a class on ecology, biology, earth sciences, or zoology. Taking classes that interest you, and continually reflecting on your skills, likes, and dislikes, will help you further identify your major path of study.
What bearing does my major have on my future career or on my decision to attend graduate school? Learn the most common major myths and misconceptions.

There is much controversy around the up and coming 'Eco-Mobility' Festival that will be taking place in the Sandton CBD (Johannesburg) during the month of October. There is a major problem with congestion on the roads and the City of Johannesburg have decided to have a local Eco-Mobility Festival in order to encourage business people, business owners and visitors to Sandton to go on foot, by bike or use public transport – but leave their cars at home.
Johannesburg Mayor Parks Tau, talks about the event in this exclusive clip for Sawubona that was shot at the launch of the Eco-Mobility Festival.
He explains the campaign, 'It's all about creating awareness and consciousness around alternative modes of transportation; reducing our reliance on private cars and getting people to ride bicycles, getting people to access their city through walking but also being able to access public transport as a means of traversing the different parts of the city.'
He says its all about reducing congestion in places like Sandton, that has lead to a gridlock on the urban hub…

A Comparative Study of NOx Computation Methods Coupled to Quasi-Dimensional Models in SI Engines.

Quasi-dimensional models are widely used in the design, development and analyses of automotive engines. Various phenomenological and empirical relations are used in these models to reduce the computational load compared to multidimensional models. These quasi-dimensional models have also been used to calculate NOx, soot and HCs using various reduced chemistry/simplified models. The extended Zeldovich mechanism is widely used for finite-rate NOx computations in these quasi-dimensional models. However, there are several simplifying assumptions in the rate equation used for the NOx computations. This paper compares the traditional method of finite-rate NOx computations with full finite-rate chemistry without the simplifying assumptions used in the former method. NOx formation in a stationary engine is studied using a single zone and two-zone (burned and unburned zone) using a 6-reaction, 7-species model. A detailed comparison of the two methods of NO computation is presented. Analyses of the temporal variation of NO predicted using these two approaches is also presented.

I've been needing new pots for a while now (like years now) but am not wanting a set to replace again so I set my sights on Calphalon at Kohl's. Well, last week, we went but didn't buy anything because it wasn't on sale though they gave out "discount cards of up to 15%". Tonight, we almost didn't again until we saw a great incentive that we completely didn't notice last week.
You buy this set...
Get this for FREE!!! (Anywhere from $79.99-$159.99)
Isn't that an amazing deal?! And... I also had a new discount card, 15% again, So, I actually beat the online sale price, plus I got something FREE!!!
I also had a great experience of helping Kohl's sell a 13-piece set of Farberware cookware that has a $20 mail-in rebate! At the register, the same saleslady, who happens to be the Manager of the Housewares Department(of course I didn't know that at the time), was the same woman who was trying to sell this lady the Farberware set! I helped explain that the Farberware line has been around and they are the best for affordable non-stick cookware. The customer didn't understand the rebate so I explained that too and she bought it! So again, at the register, the manager recognized me and greeted me warmly plus... she declared that we make a great team then whispered, "I'm looking for someone, you want a part-time job?" Now that's a compliment! Yeah!
TABLESCAPING IDEAS: ("Brain" is excited, very excited!) When holidays come around, don't be afraid to incorporate simple pieces with lavish but inexpensively acquired pieces. It will give your table a classic and yet contemporary look that is constantly known to surface in design and home magazines!
Thanks to our great host, Leigh! And thanks to all of you!

Kukin goes off to Moscow to recruit some new acts, but falls ill and dies while still there. Months later Olga meets one of her neighbors, Vassily Andreich Pustovalov, who owns a lumberyard. They eventually marry and she settles into a life with Vassily. After six years of marriage, Vassily falls ill and dies.

Sera Tort, Clinical Editor, joined the Cochrane Editorial Unit in July 2013 to work on Cochrane Clinical Answers. How the author has used this exercise: I have had success using this exercise as a pre- workshop self-inquiry activity. In my view what differentiates many training courses are the training materials. The answers included critical information about first aid, positional asphyxia and when to strike someone.

Quick Reference
born at Ednam on the Scottish border, came to London in 1725, and wrote 'Winter', the first of The Seasons, which appeared successively in 1726–30. He made the acquaintance of Arbuthnot, Gay, and Pope, found patrons, and eventually, through the influence of Lord Lyttelton received a sinecure. He published in 1735–6 his long patriotic poem Liberty. He produced a series of tragedies, Sophonisba (1730), Agamemnon (1738), Edward and Eleanora (1739); Tancred and Sigismunda (published 1745) and Coriolanus (1749) were produced after his death. In 1740 was performed the masque of Alfred by Thomson and Mallet, containing 'Rule, Britannia', probably written by Thomson. In 1748 he published The Castle of Indolence, which contains a portrait of himself ('A bard here dwelt, more fat than bard beseems') supposed to have been written by Lyttelon, the first line by J. Armstrong, which affectionately mocks the poet's notorious love of idleness. The Seasons, one of the most popular of English poems, was immensely influential, offering both in style and subject a new departure from the urbanity of Pope and developing in a highly distinctive manner the range of Topographical Poetry; Wordsworth recognized Thomson as the first poet since Milton to offer new images of 'external nature'. He contributed greatly to the vogue for the picturesque.

Members in Texas Participate in Community Service
Contributed By From the Church News
"Service captures the heart of both those who serve and those who are served." —Jerry Elmer of the Lewisville Texas Stake presidency
Related Links
Members of the Lewisville Texas Stake joined forces with a community program in the town of Flower Mound, Texas, to help neighbors clean up and beautify their homes by clearing overgrown yards, fixing broken fences, and mending peeling facades.
Calling it the "Lend a Hand Initiative," led by Mayor Tom Hayden, the town seeks help from the community in the form of donations and volunteer muscle to change lives.
"Service captures the heart of both those who serve and those who are served," said President Jerry Elmer, first counselor in the stake presidency. "We are grateful for the opportunity to serve those in our community who are unable, for whatever reason, to help themselves."
The Lend a Hand Initiative launched its first effort on March 22, benefitting disabled Vietnam veteran John Baker. With donated monetary support, materials at cost, and dumpsters provided, members of the Church showed up in force to provide the labor, replacing siding, painting, and removing debris.
"I know I can always depend on a large number of volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to turn out," said Marilyn Lawson, board director of Keep Flower Mound Beautiful. "It is really important to get all groups in the community involved to help those in need. I appreciate The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints setting this example."

The Baton Rouge Area Foundation has named its finalists for landscape architects to lead the Baton Rouge Lakes restoration project.
Each of the finalists is partnering with one or more local firms and will present their credentials at a public meeting at 9 a.m. on June 30 in the Manship Theatre. Those who attend can fill out comment cards for input to the selection committee.
The team, led by a landscape architect, has been charged with crafting a new master plan for restoring and "enhancing the lakes and their surroundings in balance with long-term preservation of the natural system."
Fifteen applications were submitted.
The finalists are Design Workshop, EDSA, SWA Group in association with Jeffery Carbo Landscape Architects, and Kyle Zick Landscape Architecture.
Master planning costs alone for the project are estimated to cost $750,000, which has already been secured by BRAF from donors and other foundations.
The master plan ultimately will identify funding for implementation, which will include dredging and shoreline amenities and will cost millions of dollars.
