*Update : Winner of the Nespresso package is Katie A! I completely relate with her story about being someplace new and reaching out to new neighbors to help make your new house feel like home. Katie - I hope you your new Nespresso helps to you make some new cozy moments and memories in your new home.
Here is here story :
"We are in a new city and neighborhood this year, having moved only a month ago. We are far from family and friends so that can make the holidays really, really difficult. My four year old daughter came to me one day and told me that she "wanted to do something nice for the neighbors." I have no idea where this came from other than her sweet little soul! I gave it some thought and after perusing your store one day, I proposed to her that we spend some time making some nice holiday treats together that we could package up with your wonderful labels and bags. We had a ball doing this and then my daughter put on a Santa hat and got on her tricycle with the packages in the back and we went around to our new neighbors to say hello and Merry Christmas. To be honest, it was a little bit out of my comfort zone, but it ended up just being a joy to do and I think I learned a lesson from my little daughter. In our times, people keep more to themselves than they ever did. And making some effort, and putting some love out there can really make a difference! I hope we can make this a permanent tradition because it made us feel so good to do it."
This morning I am taking a little break from the holiday rush and enjoying some time to slow down as I reflect on our weekend. It was Emma's birthday - my baby is two. I have to admit these are some of my favorite moments - a quiet morning looking through photos of our sweet girl as I upload.
This morning is even a little more special, because instead of my normal cup of coffee, I'm sipping on a beautiful, frothy cappuccino from our very own Nespresso machine. Christmas came a little to our house when this package arrived on our doorstep Thursday afternoon. I've had a Pixie and Aeroccino on my wish list for three years now, since our honeymoon in Italy.
Its arrival was perfectly timed, because we had family coming in to stay with us for Emma's birthday and there is nothing treating your guests to a luxurious cappuccino in the morning to make your home feel cozy and warm on a winter morning.
We had the best weekend centered around all of Emma's favorite things. I did my best to keep it as low-key and easy as possible, all while doing all we could to thrill and delight our little girl. When we're entertaining, I like to keep the decorations really simple and tasteful - and try to make everything myself. I had clear balloons filled with silver glitter, and tied snowflakes on the streamers. It took all of 5 minutes and completely delighted Emma when she came down stairs in the morning to floating snowflakes filling the living room... the "pixie dust" (glittered) wrapping paper didn't hurt either.
This is one of my favorite moments - Emma's waiting (patiently?) for her birthday breakfast cinnamon rolls to bake.
I can't wait to share the rest of the photos from our weekend of cookie decorating with Emma's cousins, a horse-drawn carriage ride to see Christmas lights, a visit to the Aquarium (her favorite place - My Fishies, she always exclaims), a big family dinner, a children's holiday party at a local domestic violence center with our church, and a cozy dinner at home with just the three of us. I know typical toddler birthday party weekends usually sound a little different, but I always like to think more about what I thought Emma would truly enjoy, rather than doing what people expect you to (or what everyone else does) - especially for entertaining. I loved every minute of our special weekend with our little girl - and I loved how much she loved it, too!
Now comes the fun part : What is your favorite way to entertaining during the holidays - in a tasteful, not so typical way? Share your idea or personal story about a creative way you like to entertain tastefully in the comments section below and you'll get the chance to win a Nespresso Pixie Aluminum ($229) and Aeroccino ($99).
I'll select a winner from the comments later this week.
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and I can't wait to share my new favorite things with one of you!

GVSU engineering project can save lives in Africa
Grad students designed and built an emergency solar power system.
(As seen on WZZM TV 13) There's no substitute for experience, and three graduate students in Grand Valley State University's School of Engineering have just had the priceless experience of designing and building a photovoltaic emergency power system for a medical clinic in Malawi in southeastern Africa.
That project snowballed, with other students from the GVSU business and computer science programs joining forces to write a mobile device app that will help train midwives in Malawi.
The photovoltaic emergency power system was designed and built by Ryan Gorby, Matt Alberda and Derek Dougherty as a class project under the direction of Heidi Jiao, an associate professor in the School of Engineering, in her 600-level graduate engineering course Optoelectronic Devices and Photovoltaic Systems.
The portable system includes two emergency lights, one surgery suction device and two electrical outlets for charging tablets and phones. It is designed to kick on when power is lost at the clinic and has a battery backup able to provide power for two days.
Last summer, Jiao had begun planning a project for her fall class when she learned that Star Swift, an associate professor of management in the Seidman College of Business at GVSU, was looking for someone in the School of Engineering who might be able to help on a solar energy-related project. Swift's cousin, Martha Sommers, is a primary care physician who has been working in Malawi for about 15 years. She is currently back in the U.S. for several months, living with her sister in Chicago.
"Martha has 120,000 patients and she is the only physician," said Swift.
Jiao said she and her grad students learned from Sommers that the electrical grid in Malawi is not reliable. Frequent power outages can last for hours, and some days there is no power at all. American hospitals, of course, have emergency back-up power systems, but that is not the case at the rural clinic in Malawi where Sommers works.
A power outage during surgery can prove fatal to the patient. Jiao said she learned there are times when "they lose patients on the table."
The original specifications proposed by Sommers called for a larger emergency power source with more features, but Jiao said the power issue, lights and a few critical medical devices were deemed to be the essential elements. "Plus, Martha said she would like the unit to be portable," enough so that it could be easily transported by air into rural areas in Malawi.
The suction device to be included in the design was critical because the clinic often deals with newborn babies, in which removal of mucus from the airway is frequently a life or death matter.
The specifications were narrowed down and turned over to Jiao's students in mid-September. Then the actual course work began, with Jiao and the students covering the basics of a photovoltaic system and the foundation of the course.
Halfway through the fall term, said Jiao, "The students had all the knowledge they needed to design the system to the specifications provided to them." The students contained to stay in close touch with Sommers as they worked on the design.
Photovoltaic parts can be found and ordered on the Internet, said Jiao, so that's what the students did.
Jiao said the students designed, built and tested a prototype in about two months. The finished system, not including the solar panels, weighs 85 pounds. However, it can be disassembled, and the battery — the heaviest component — can be packaged separately for easier handling during transport.
Jiao said discussions are underway to have a volunteer California youth group deliver the power system to the clinic in Malawi when the group goes to Africa this year.
"This project would not be a success without Star (Swift)," said Jiao. She is the faculty advisor to Team Web GVSU, business and computer science students who work on a couple of free websites hosted by GVSU, which offer businesses information on arbitrations and electronic human resources (www.gvsu.edu/arbitrations, and www.gvsu.edu/e-hr).
In the fall, Swift and the web team were discussing her cousin in Malawi and a book written by Sommers' sister, a medical text for individuals who want to learn to be midwives. Swift mentioned to the students that she had been talking to web experts from Steelcase who had suggested the information should be a mobile app if it was to be available in a Third World country like Malawi.
"A lot of people in Malawi have cell phones," said Swift. "They don't have computers and they don't have fresh water, but they have cell phones."
One of the students on the web team, Olvi Tole, mentioned that he knew how to write an app. That started the ball rolling, and over the three-week holiday break, the students created it. Now the plan is to have the app pre-loaded on cell phones that will be distributed in Malawi.
Google helped, too: The app will be available on Google, for free.
Even the pre-med program at GVSU helped. One of its students, Holly Malinowski, joined the app team to help with the medical terms it must contain.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Delay Children's Development
A 3-year-old child who is not talking.
A 4-year-old child who always plays alone.
A 2-year-old child who is constantly rocking back and forth.
These could be signs of an autism spectrum disorder. Autism spectrum disorders interfere with a child's development and socialization abilities and range from a severe form, called autistic disorder, to a milder form, called Asperger syndrome. Additionally, if a child has symptoms of either autistic disorder or Asperger's, but does not meet the specific criteria for either, the diagnosis is called pervasive developmental disorder (PDD).
A child's development is part of everyday life, but learning the signs of developmental delay can allow parents to initiate early diagnosis and treatment interventions.
April is the month of Autism Awareness. Parents, teachers and physicians are actively involved in a child's life and are responsible for taking an active role. Understanding this developmental disorder and individualizing treatment plans are paramount to optimizing a child's potential and future place in society.
PDD, Asperger's, autism: These developmental disorders are being diagnosed, disputed, and have a significant impact on the daily lives of those families affected. Autism is defined as a "spectrum disorder." Children may display mild to severe developmental delays and characteristics with the following core set of symptoms:
- trouble forming relationships
- difficulty understanding or responding to emotional signals from others
- difficulty using language creatively and receptively
- self -absorption (in his/her own world and not tuned in to stimuli or people around him/her)
- repetitive, self-stimulatory behavior, such as staring at a fan
- repeating words over and over again
- repetitive motor movements such as hand-flapping
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Autism Research Institute estimate most children affected with an autistic spectrum disorder are diagnosed in the first three years. It is during this time that a delay in a child's language and social skills becomes more obvious to parents. The AAP research has indicated approximately 3 in 1,000 children are diagnosed with an autistic disorder. Autism is four times more common in boys than in girls. Increases in the number of cases diagnosed have been attributed to changes in diagnostic criteria as well as an increased awareness of the condition.
There are no medical tests to diagnosis autism. A child's medical history, development, and behavior aid a professional in the diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. Increased awareness and better diagnostic tools have enabled doctors to diagnose this condition as well as to help distinguish where a child is on the autism spectrum. Parents with concerns about their child's development should see their primary care physician and if there is delay may be referred to a behavioral or neurodevelopmental specialist.
Two most commonly recognized diagnoses are Asperger's and PDD. Asperger's disorder does not encompass the symptom of language delay and therefore may be diagnosed at a later age when the child has difficulty with peer interactions and social skills. These children in fact may have a very formal vocabulary, acquiring the nickname of the "little professor." And, although they suffer socially, many go into technical fields such as engineering or computer technology.
PDD is known as "atypical autism." This disorder is represented by speech delay as well as the remaining core symptoms. The severity of the symptoms is not as severe as in those children diagnosed with lower functioning autism.
Kristie L. Kaufman, MD, is a board-certified physician, specializing in pediatrics health care. She practices at Centre Medical and Surgical Associates and is a member of the medical staff at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

Fritters Recipes
Pepper Poppers
If you've been following my culinary adventures for a while, you probably know that Daddy's (my father-in-law) diet revolves around anything spicy. So he rarely eats the French dishes (except for the desserts) or Vietnamese meals I prepare for the rest of our family. So today, I prepared pepper popper appetizers. Who doesn't like fried food? Not even Daddy could say no. I prepared mild ones using mini tri-colored peppers and jalapeno peppers, and a couple of really spicy ones just for him.
Mini peppers are hollowed out, stuffed with a cheese mixture, breaded and deep-fried. You can't go wrong!

Cauliflower Fritters (Gobi Pakora)
I still had a lot of cauliflower left after making a healthy chou fleur vinaigrette, so I finished the remaining head of cauliflower in a slightly less healthy way. These Indian cauliflower fritters take no time to prepare and no resting time is required. The batter is made from besan (garbanzo flour) mixed with lots of Indian spices. The rest really comes down to what vegetables are available in the refrigerator.
Pakora are my go-to snack food whenever we have last minute guests. Fried food is always a crowd pleaser in my house!

Fried Feta Cheese Stuffed Olive Recipe
According to Daddy (my father-in-law), any snack tastes better fried. For this particular recipe he came up with, I tend to agree. We recently served feta stuffed olives at a dinner party. At the end of the evening, there was still a bowl full of the black olives leftover. Daddy challenged me and said they would have been all gone had I deep-fried them. The following day, I coated the cheese stuffed olives in a fritter batter and gave them a bath in boiling oil.
An entire bowl of fried olives never really made it to the dining table; they were devoured as soon as they were ready. What makes fried olives so tasty is that ther're perfectly crisp on the outside, but still remain soft on the inside. The key to success with these fried appetizers is to make sure you allow the excess batter to drip back into the batter bowl, then place the olives one at a time in the hot oil. I'm big enough to admit it; Daddy was right!

Deep Fried Feta Cheese Recipe
This weekend is the Super Bowl, but Lulu and his friends are so disappointed that the Niners didn't quite make it (and with Kyle Williams in particular) that they're threatening not to watch the game. Even though the boys are being such party poopers, I still plan on putting out a nice spread. As they say, the game must go on!
This particular dish is my take on the traditional fare of breaded mozzarella cheese sticks. Instead of mozzarella though, I made my fried treats with raw feta cheese. The cheese is from Redwood Hill Farms, and it is just delicious! It has such a strong flavor and really holds up well to being deep-fried. Unlike mozzarella, feta cheese doesn't melt but keeps a very pleasant firm texture.
To finish the plate, I drizzled a basil dressing on the appetizers for a contrast of color. For the party, I'll probably serve the fried feta cheese on a large tray, but you could also place a smaller portion as I did on a bed of diced vegetables.

Pumpkin Fritter Recipe
I've been feeding my husband Lulu very healthy food since the beginning of the year. I was thinking he couldn't take much anymore, so when he came home I decided to give him a reprieve of sorts. I had already steamed some pumpkin that I intended to add to a low cal, healthy canh (Vietnamese soup). As a treat, I took some of the extra diced pumpkin and created dumplings that I deep-fried.
My trick for making fluffy fritters is to replace the standard combination of ice water, flour and baking powder with just cold beer and flour. It gives a nice aroma to the appetizer and pairs well with pumpkin. I also garnished the dish with slices of fried chiles for color.

I Pray For You Josh
Tonight is the night
that my brother won't see the light.
my little brother is strong
we saw he was all along.
He is fighting for his life tonight
and it is a horrible sight
to see him like this
and think that he might be gone
and i would miss another a minute with him.
I pray to you to give him
all the strength to fight for his life
and make sure he can see another day with me.
God i am on my knee tonight
asking you for something so great
but i see his heart rate going down
all i see on my face is a frown.
I put him in your hands tonight
he needs to fight
tell him, keep on telling him not to
give up and i am here by his side
and i have cried
many times but ill be fine
when i know he is alright and lying
right there beside me.
I love you more than the world.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone—whether you are a mom, have a mom, are partnered with a mom, or just think moms are generally neat people. Do you have a mom who shared her love of science fiction with you? Tell us all about her.
My mom always joked that she introduced me to Star Trek while I was in the womb, marathoning episodes of the original series while she was pregnant with me and couldn't sleep. She hated the whole premise behind music video channels, deeming them mindless TV watching. "I don't mind you watching television," she told me once, "as long as it's something with substance, like The Next Generation." When I was in grade school, our Saturday night ritual revolved around Deep Space Nine, Hercules, and Xena. She indulged my ridiculous DragonLance habit, but made sure my reading list contained occasional breaks for books like 1984 and Brave New World. When The Phantom Menace came out, she made the drive from Long Island to New Hampshire so that she, my brother, and I could watch it together. Even today, she occasionally sends me cool art to feature here (she has great taste, my mom), and waxes on Fringe and Warehouse 13.
I'm incredibly grateful to my mom for introducing me to so many of the things that I've come to love and for opening me up to new worlds and new ideas.
Tell us what your mom has shared with you? A favorite book? Nights spent watching the same TV show? Something you might not have discovered if not for her?

Early history (1910-1950)[edit]
Indianapolis is home to Troop 9, founded by "Chief" Francis Oliver Belzer in 1910, one of the first Scout troops in America.
Belzer founded Firecrafter at Camp Chank-Tun-Un-Gi (now called Camp Belzer) in the summer of 1920. Belzer also served as the first Scout Executive for the Indianapolis Council, later known as the Central Indiana Council.
The first National Order of the Arrow Conference was held at Indiana University in 1948.
Recent history (1950-2010)[edit]
In 1950, 1956, 1961, 1965, 1969, 1990, 2002, 2009 and 2018, the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC) was held at Indiana University in Bloomington, the most frequent venue for the event. In 1994, NOAC was held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Boy Scouts of America in Indiana today[edit]
There are nine Boy Scouts of America (BSA) local councils in Indiana. All of Indiana lies within Central Region, except for Clark, Scott, Floyd, Harrison, Crawford, and Washington counties, as part of Southern Region.
Anthony Wayne Area Council[edit]
Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana and covering 11 counties in Northeast Indiana — Adams, Wells, Jay, Huntington, Allen, DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Whitley, Kosciusko.Anthony Wayne Area Council
- Lincolnway District (Whitley and Kosciusko Counties)

Features Anthony Wayne Scout Reservation with Camp Chief Little Turtle
Anthony Wayne Scout Reservation[edit]
The Anthony Wayne Scout Reservation is a Scouts BSA camp located near Ashley, Indiana, United States.
The reservation has three key areas: Camp Chief Little Turtle (CCLT), Camp Foellinger, and Camp Wilderness.
- Camp Chief Little Turtle is the main camp. It has many activity centers, such as a waterfront, handicraft, outdoor skills, Project C.O.P.E., and other typical features of a Scouts BSA camp.
- Camp Foellinger is used mainly for special events, such as Cub Scout camp, National Youth Leadership Training, and Order of the Arrow events.
- Camp Wilderness contains the Jack Zeiger Ropes Course — used for C.O.P.E. and rock climbing — and Orion, an area used for camping and wilderness survival training.
Buffalo Trace Council[edit]
The Buffalo Trace Council is based in Evansville, Indiana that serves southwestern Indiana and southeastern Illinois. Its affiliated Order of the Arrow lodge is Kiondaga Lodge.Buffalo Trace Council
The Buffalo Trace Council has operated four camps throughout its existence, three of which are still in existence. Camp Arthur, located near Vincennes, opened in 1945 and was removed from the list of BSA-approved camping facilities for a time in the mid-1990s. Camp Carnes, located between Jasper and Dubois, has since changed ownership to the City of Jasper and is run as a park. Old Ben Scout Reservation (OBSR), located in Pike County, Indiana opened in 1985 on the site of an abandoned strip mine operated by the Old Ben Coal Company and was the council's current primary summer camp location, until a lack of funding forced the council to cease having summer camps there. Camp Pohoka was the previous summer camp location, but was shut down when OBSR was opened.

Native Trails[edit]
Calumet Council[edit]
Calumet Council is headquartered in Munster, Indiana and serves Scouts in Indiana and Illinois.
Serving the youth of the 54 communities comprising the south suburbs of Chicago and Northwest Indiana since 1917, the Calumet Council is the local entity of the Boy Scouts of America and Learning for Life Programs.
Calumet Council was formed in 1966, and was the result of a merger of the Pokagon Trails Council in Hammond, Indiana and the Sauk Trails Council in Gary, Indiana. In 1971 the Twin City Council in East Chicago, Indiana joined to make up the current structure. Camp Frank S. Betz, located in Berrien Springs, MI (USA) is operated by the Calumet Council. 'Betz' has served Scouts in the South Suburbs of Chicago and Northwest Indiana since 1922.
In 2008, over 13,000 young men and women were active members of the Scouting program in the Calumet Council. Over 4,100 adult volunteers, supported by a small staff, provide a top quality "values based" program, with an emphasis on outdoor programs and life skills.
Due to the unique demographics of the Calumet Council, a special program designed to serve the hardest to reach "at risk" youth, called Scoutreach, is used in lower income communities. In 2008, sixty six Scoutreach Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops and Venture Crews were active in nine different communities with over 1,400 members.
The Eagle Scout Award, the highest award a boy can earn in Scouting, was presented to 74 young men in 2006. These newest Eagles totaled over 3,200 combined service hours in the 74 different community service projects which they carried out as part of the Eagle Scout requirement.
The Council operates four districts: Crossroads, Nishnabec, Prairie Dunes, and Thunderbird. These service areas were formed in 2005 as a result of a restructuring to utilize volunteer resources better.
The Order of the Arrow is Scouting's National Honor Society. The council's chapter is Michigamea Order of the Arrow Lodge number 110. It is youth-run and advised by adult volunteers. Michigamea lodge has over 600 active members. In 2008, the Lodge received The National Service Award for their work on the new Frank S. Betz firebowl. This annual award is only presented to eight lodges nationally.
The Council Executive board is made up of 44 local business and community leaders who guide to the year-round operation of the Council. The Council Key III is made up of President T. Edward Page, Council Commissioner Todd Dykton and Acting Scout Executive Matthew Thornton.
This council was merged into the Pathway to Adventure council.
Crossroads of America Council[edit]
Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Crossroads of America Council (BSA Council #160) serves Scouts and Scouters in Central Indiana. It was initially formed when Central Indiana Council, Delaware County Council, Kikthawenund Council, and Whitewater Valley Council merged in 1972. Recently, in the past decade, Wabash Valley and Crossroads of America were merged to form the new Crossroads of America Council, serving 25 counties in Indiana, extending from the Illinois state line to the Ohio state line. As of the end of 2012, the council served more than 36,000 youth thanks to more than 9,000 volunteer leaders.Crossroads of America Council
The Crossroads of America Council is served by Jaccos Towne Lodge #21, Order of the Arrow. It is also home to Firecrafter, a local Scouting service fraternity. Central Indiana Council was not home to a lodge of the Order of the Arrow until the merger of the councils in 1972. Joe Wiltrout is the current Scout Executive. The council maintains Scout offices in Indianapolis, Muncie, and Terre Haute.
The Crossroads of America Council has also served as home of the Crossroads of America Scout Band. Founded in 1917 by "Chief" F.O. Belzer as a camp band, this band has grown into a concert band that has traveled throughout the United States, Canada and England representing the Boy Scouts of America and the Crossroads of America Council for 102 years. The Bands annual summer tour takes it to as many scout camps as it can for the enjoyment of those scouts at camp. [1]

Lincoln Heritage Council[edit]
The George Rogers Clark Council was formed by Scouts of Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Crawford, Scott, and Washington counties in 1927, and merged with Old Kentucky Home Council in 1993 to form the Lincoln Heritage Council, which serves Scouts in Kentucky and Indiana. The Council absorbed the Shawnee Trails Council of western Kentucky (and part of southern Illinois and northwestern Tennessee) in April 2012 to serve scouts in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Tennessee.[1]
John Work House and Mill Site|Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation[edit]
Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation is a Scouts BSA camp just outside Charlestown, Indiana, owned by the Lincoln Heritage Council. In 1917 local Troop 3 decided to use the property as a summer camp, as it would for three summers. The George Rogers Clark Council shortly after 1927 bought Tunnel Mill from the Murphy family, who had bought the property the previous year but lost interest after a mill fire. In 1933 the three-sided wooden Pioneer Village cabins were built. In 1942 the Scoutmaster's Cabin and Evergreen cabins were completed. In 1950 the McDonald Bridge was completed across Fourteen Mile Creek. The camp saw its greatest use in the 1950s and 1960s, with 564 Scouts, the highest attendance ever, in 1960. In 1969 the swimming pool was built, to replace the creek, now-unsafe for swimming. By the 1980s the lessening attendance made the future of the camp uncertain. When the George Rogers Clark Council, which owned the property, merged with Old Kentucky Home Council, one of the conditions was that Tunnel Mill would not be closed. Since 1993 the camp has been used primarily by Cub Scouts and for winter camping.[2] The property includes a cabin village, a swimming pool, and a dining hall built in 2000. The new dining hall replaced the one from the 1980s that once served as a steakhouse in Jeffersonville.
On November 6, 1996, Andy Campbell, a ranger serving as Tunnel Mill's caretaker, was shot to death by Roger Caldwell, "a diagnosed, paranoid schizophrenic" who trespassed onto the property while drunk.[3] This was the first such incident in the history of Scouting.[4] Campbell was able to drag himself 50 feet (15 m) to call 911. After police arrived on the scene to get information about the drunk from Campbell, they found Caldwell wandering on Indiana Highway 62. Caldwell was sentenced to 70 years in prison, with parole possible after 31 years.
Prairielands Council[edit]
Prairielands Council, previously the short-lived Illiana Council, has its headquarters in Champaign, Illinois, and also serves Scouts in Indiana.
Sagamore Council[edit]
The Sagamore Council was founded in 1973 by a merger of the Three Rivers Council (Headquarters in Logansport, IN), Mesingomesia Council (Headquarters in Marion, IN) and the Harrison Trails Council (Headquarters in Lafayette, IN). The council offices were eventually consolidated to a single office in Kokomo, Indiana. The council maintains two camps: Camp Cary, (near Lafayette, IN) used as a Cub Scout day camp and Camp Buffalo, (near Buffalo, IN - north and east of Indiana Beach) used as a Scouts BSA summer camp. The camp properties of Green Hills and Crossland were sold. Camp Green Hills was south and west of Lafayette, IN. Mesingomesia Council's Crossland Scout Reservation near Columbia City, Indiana was sold to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources in 1992 and is now called the Deniston Resource Area (named after a fallen DNR Conservation Officer). The camp was located on Robinson Lake, one of the last natural lakes in Indiana with almost no development. This was due in large part to the camp which encompassed almost three-fourths of the shoreline.[5]
A few things make Sagamore Council unique:
1. Purdue University, in West Lafaytte, IN, hosted the 1994 National Order of the Arrow Conference.
2. Weaver Popcorn (which markets Trail's End Popcorn) is produced in Van Buren, Indiana.
3. Ramsey Popcorn (which markets Campmasters Popcorn) is produced in Ramsey, Indiana.
5. George O. Crossland was a Scout Executive who served the prior Mesingomesia Council. He was known for more notable Scouting functions including creating an honorary that rivaled the Order of the Arrow -- TI-PI-SA, the Order of the Red Lodge. Crossland Scout Reservation was named after him.
- North Star District, serving Cass, Fulton, Jasper, Newton, Pulaski & White counties
- Peshewa District, serving Blackford, Grant, Howard, Miami and Wabash counties
- Wabash Valley District, serving Benton, Carroll, Tippecanoe, Warren & Northern Fountain counties
The Sagamore Council currently operates two camps:
Girl Scouting in Indiana[edit]
There are 5 Girl Scout councils that serve Indiana.
On Aug. 26, 2006, Girl Scouts of the USA's (GSUSA) national board of directors voted to endorse a plan to realign 312 councils into 109 high-capacity, community-based councils. The new structure will make the most effective use of resources to better serve the local community and create more opportunities in Girl Scouting for even more girls. Girl Scouts of Central Indiana was the first Girl Scout council in the nation to complete the merger process.
Girl Scouts of Central Indiana[edit]
Formed by the merger of Girl Scouts of Hoosier Capital Council, Covered Bridge Girl Scout Council, Girl Scouts of Treaty Line Council, Girl Scouts of Sycamore Council, and Girl Scouts of Wapephani Council, and the addition of Howard and Carroll Counties from Girl Scouts of Tribal Trails Council.

The conference "Let's Go4Growth. Local strategies for the Growth of Global Companies" aimed to be a meeting point for professionals that share the challenge of achieving growth. This event was an attempt to provoke practical reflection and generate proposals that will help define local strategies for the growth of companies with projections for the future.
The conference was promoted and organised by Barcelona Activa, which is Barcelona City Council's local development agency -coinciding with its 20th Anniversary-, and with the support of CIDEU, EBN, IASP and the OECD LEED Programme. Barcelona Activa is a longstanding member of the LEED Partners' Club.
The purpose of the conference was to analyse the elements that determine the business growth in the present globalised economy and the contribution that the different agents involved in local development can give to the promotion of growth.
The event was aimed at different agents involved in local development by means of entrepreneurship and business growth. Barcelona Activa's initiative was a great opportunity to discover some of the most outstanding international experiences on fostering business growth, innovation and entrepreneurship from Spain, France, Great Britain, Finland, Germany, United States and Latin America.

Game #60: LA-LA Land pregame
Greetings from the pressbox at Dodger Stadium. Over the left-field wall is the famous "Think Blue" sign and below the Dodgers are running through some BP while Jays play catch in right field. L.A. isn't that far away, but you wouldn't know it from here, tucked away among the California hills. I was surprised to find that a few other writers, and even Jays manager John Gibbons, weren't aware of the origins of the name "Dodgers." Before they moved out to L.A., the team got its moniker due to the Brooklynites need to "dodge" the trolleys that ran throughout the borough. Out here in L.A., smog and traffic are two things you'd like to dodge — but can't. Anyway, I'll post some pics of the stadium later this weekend. Here's today's pregame:

NOTES: Jays C Gregg Zaun was activated from the 15-day DL, but is only available as a pinch hitter. He said he believes he's another week away from being able to catch, because it's taking time to build his arm strength back up. … Wells was moved back to the three hole after spending three games as Toronto's No. 2 hitter. … Yes, Toronto is carrying four catchers. And it appears that will be the case for a while longer. C Sal Fasano tweaked his groin a few games ago, but Gibbons said he was available off the bench. … Towers was available out of the bullpen if needed, but would throw in a side session if not used. He's slated to start for the Jays on Monday against the Giants.

I actually stayed up till almost 2am watching what seemed to be a decent game…actually most of it was terrible when you think about it because no one could hit, Phillips cant throw out a 90 year old women stealing , and Accardo is losing everything he had at the beginning. This is the third game he hasn't come through in a very short period. I think its time to change it up. He walked the first batter then gave up a home run to blow the save. I think they should put that De Jong guy in as a closer and see what he can do. His stuff was rediculous. Very confident and no one could get a peice off him. The Jays have nothing to lose. I loved Accardo but I think he pooched. And Vernon…Hes producing like that 90 year old women that Phillips can't throw out.
It's getting ridiculous how this offense continues to struggle. Just when you think Frank and V-dub is getting out of it Frank has to sit out and Vernon stops producing again (although he did smoke the ball last night on a couple of those outs). It's very frustrating to watch because of the fact that the offense was supposed to be the teams strength.
Instead the jays are putting some decent to great pitching performances to waste and it's a shame. A.J. Burnett should be amongst the american league wins leaders instead he's stuck where he's been most of his career (a .500 pitcher)
I'm at the point now where I personally would put Wells at the lead-off spot. I know he doesn't take nearly enough pitches but I think that his first pitch swing would benefit him more if he were leading off (more likely to see a fast-ball to start the game). Just trying it for a game or 2 wouldn't hurt.

Pitcher spot
That sounds like a good idea actually…let Vernon work on the first couple pitches since many pitchers are adjusting with there first couple throws. Put Rios in those clutch spots for now. Reed will be back before you know it…they say two weeks maybe. Anyone else heard any updates on his return date?
These bats are terrible, Vernons got his money,almost like he couldn t care anymore,Thomas is a waste of skin!!great pitching is not getting the support it deserves,tho it is great to see Mcgowan performing so well.
All I can say right now is that Vernon DOES care. You can see it every time he walks off the field after an out. Thomas too. They know they have been given the deals they got, due to how well they play/hit. I think they are more frustrated than anyone at this point. I try not to be discouraged by the lack of runs, as I am a FAN and all I can do is hope they turn it around.
Here's another one I would try:

A Massachusetts resident has become the first American to win an Olympic gold medal in judo.
Kayla Harrison took the women's 78-kilogram title Thursday at the London Games by defeating Britain's Gemma Gibbons in a final she dominated from the start. Harrison got a stronger grip on Gibbons and threw her twice.
The 22-year-old Harrison is originally from Ohio but is currently living in Marblehead and training in Wakefield under two-time Olympic bronze medalist Jimmy Pedro.
Her medal is the U.S.'s second in judo this week: Teammate Marti Malloy won a bronze in the women's 57-kilogram division.
Harrison is ranked No. 4 in the world and is a former world champion.
She said she was focused on the gold from the start.

Chiefs send OG Johnson to Bucs for S McCray
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have acquired safety Kelcie McCray from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for offensive guard Rishaw Johnson in a move that should bolster depth for both teams.
McCray entered the league with Miami as an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas State. He's appeared in 15 games over the past two seasons with the Dolphins and Buccaneers.
The Chiefs are desperate for help at safety, particularly with Eric Berry still dealing with a nagging heel injury. Undrafted rookie Daniel Sorensen has been pressed into a starting role.
Johnson has appeared in three games over parts of two seasons for Kansas City. He had slid down the depth chart after the Chiefs acquired several other linemen in the draft and free agency.

Adaptive Sports for Kids baseball season off to stellar start
The baseball season for athletes participating in Adaptive Sport for Kids (ASK) kicked off on a cold and windy Saturday, March 2, at Doornbos Park in Nederland. Parents and children from around the region gathered together to support their teams and watch the opening ceremonies on the field in spite of the blustery weather.
According to information on the group's website, "Adaptive Sports for Kids was formed in December 2011 … to give children and young adults with disabilities the opportunity to play sports they may not otherwise be able to play, all at no charge to them." The nonprofit organization accepts donations to provide participants with the special equipment necessary for them to participate.
At Saturday's spectacular, ASK President Scott Ferguson welcomed those gathered at the festivities, and introduced various groups performing demonstrations at the event. ASK sideline cheerleaders encouraged players and the Superstars cheer team performed for the crowd. Participants in the ASK program also displayed their Tae Kwon Do moves by showing off chops and blocks, and kicking through wooden planks to cheers from the audience. The South Lions Breakfast Club was on hand for a presentation. Nine-year-old Cooper Slott was there to present ASK with a check for donations he collected amounting to $4,010. Ferguson thanked the youth for his hard work and determination.
In correspondence, Ferguson praised Slott and his family, writing, "They are just an amazing family. And I was watching Cooper during the Opening performances, and he was loving being out there. His smile was just as big as everyone else's out there. He is truly an amazing young man."
After the presentations, the baseball teams took to the field and ran through their team banners set up at the end of an inflatable archway on loan from the Nederland Bulldogs. The teams flooded the field and took position around the diamond until all teams were out on the field. Nederland Mayor R. A. "Dick" Nugent threw out the first pitch at the ceremonies, and the season began.
According to Ferguson, the opening ceremony was a huge success. He said he is thankful to the numerous volunteers, parents and children who participated.
"As always I was proud of everyone and enjoyed the day."

The soft part of the schedule kicked in again just in time for the Dodgers on Monday night, when they outlasted the last-place Pirates, 6-2, while the Giants were pounding the Rockies, who fell four games behind in the National League West.
Andre Ethier's 29th home run was the key blow for the Dodgers, who also used three Orlando Hudson hits and two RBIs to cut the magic number for clinching a postseason berth to 11. More good scheduling news for the Dodgers: They have 17 games remaining and nine are against last-place teams -- six with Pittsburgh, three with Washington.
"They've got a great team," Pirates manager John Russell said. "They've got depth. They've got power. They've got speed. They've got pitching. That's why that's where they are. This is going to be a tough series against them."
Dodgers manager Joe Torre, though, came into this game concerned about complacency.
"After that road trip, where we were 4-2, winning this game was very important," he said. "You didn't want to get a letdown after the weekend we had."
Jon Garland got the win, even though he let two leads get away for the second consecutive start. He was charged with two runs in six innings, while relievers Hong-Chih Kuo, George Sherrill and Jonathan Broxton each pitched a perfect inning. The last 14 Pirates were retired.
"It was definitely a grind out there," said Garland, 2-0 in his three Dodgers starts.
Ethier's two-run homer to center field in the fifth provided Garland a third lead.
"We knew coming in today that this was a great opportunity for us to give ourselves some distance from Colorado and San Francisco and let those guys beat up on each other," Ethier said. "We have an opponent who is out there giving a lot of guys a lot of shots, so we don't take anything for granted and come out here and play hard again."
Ethier has 96 RBIs to go with his 29 homers, team-leading figures in both categories, and is en route to the first 30/100 season for a Dodgers outfielder since Shawn Green in 2002.
"He's not finished, either," said Torre. "He's been a great complement to Matt [Kemp] and Manny [Ramirez] and, of course, now that James [Loney] is starting to pick it up too, it's a lot better feeling. The more guys that can contribute, the less pressure there is on any one individual."
Torre already had mentioned Russell Martin, who continued his resurgence with a double and single. Casey Blake was 2-for-2 with a walk and escaped injury when hit on the left hand by a fastball.
Hudson, who had a pair of doubles and a single, drove in additional runs in the sixth and eighth innings. Hudson had only one RBI in his previous 20 games and has been sharing playing time recently with Ronnie Belliard. Ramirez doubled in a first-inning run after Rafael Furcal's first stolen base since July 28.
"I haven't done anything different," Hudson said after his first three-hit game since Aug. 18. "I just keep praying. This is a start."
The offense beat up Pirates rookie starter Daniel McCutchen, making only his third Major League start, allowing four runs in five innings and sounding a little overwhelmed afterward.
"I've never pitched in an atmosphere like this," he said of the crowd of 42,045, more than 3,000 below average and boosted by a Dodger Dog giveaway. "It's a great atmosphere. I'll just work harder to come out with my better stuff next time. In front of this crowd and in this atmosphere, I rea

Oh God, maker of rain,
ruler of the skies,
your creation brings relief from the glare,
the sun stoked summer furnace.
The clouds cover the earth in coolness;
the rain drums a comforting beat.
The land drinks in refreshment,
praising its creator for soothing relief.
Just so, Yahweh, maker of men, ruler of all,
your grace gives us pause.
The burning heat of refinement if ever purifying
would reduce us to empty ashes.
We find instead mercy laid in our laps,
gifts of rest, a time of calm breath.
For you pour cool comfort with abandon,
washing away our dross to reveal joy in the fire.

The Future of Medicine Is Now
From cancer treatments to new devices to gene therapy, a look at six medical innovations that are poised to transform the way we fight disease
In our era of instant gratification, the world of medicine seems like an outlier. The path from a promising discovery to an effective treatment often takes a decade or more.
But from that process—of fits and starts, progress and setbacks and finally more progress—grow the insights and advances that change the course of medicine.
A decade...
