The salmon were the first of about 6,000 in the American River expected to swim into the hatchery this year to spawn.
Laura Drath with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife says about 700 salmon will be allowed into the hatchery by department technicians at one time.
"They'll go through the fish and see if the females' eggs are ripe. If they are, they'll remove those eggs, the milk from the males, and fertilize the eggs and start them incubating. Fish that aren't ready to spawn yet will be put back outside into holding tanks and then checked again in several days."
About seven million eggs will be harvested and about four million fingerlings will be released back into the river in the spring.

Michael Yardy has been appointed Sussex County Cricket Club's new Batting Coach.
Former Sussex captain Yardy, who retired from professional cricket at the end of the 2015 season after spending two decades as a player with the club, has now been installed as batting coach for the whole player pathway, right through from the junior squads to the professional team.
Yardy was appointed to the role of Under-17's Head Coach ahead of the 2016 campaign. After impressing last season, he went on to spend time coaching members of Sussex's Academy programme and the professional squad at the beginning of the winter schedules, and following this progression, Sussex have now promoted him to the role of full-time batting coach.
Yardy is currently completing his final year of a Sports Psychology degree at Chichester University, and has previously developed his coaching skills at Hurstpierpoint College, looking after their first XI and talented young players.
He played 187 first-class matches during his playing career with Sussex, scoring over 10,000 runs in the process, and he made over 3,000 runs and took more than 100 wickets in his 170 List A games for the County. He also played 102 T20 matches, scoring over 1,000 runs and taking 77 wickets.
His England career saw him play 28 One-Day Internationals and 14 T20 Internationals, and was a key figure in the famous World T20 triumph in 2010.
Yardy said of his new role, "Having spent the whole of my playing career at Sussex, it was always going to be exciting to come back and help this talented team push forward.
"The time away has allowed me to focus on other areas, which I believe will allow me to offer something different to what is already a strong coaching staff."
Sussex's Director of Cricket Keith Greenfield said, "Since Michael returned to the club at the start of last summer with our Under 17s, it has been clear the impact he has had on our young batsmen throughout our player development pathway.
"At the start of the winter, he worked with our batsmen on the Professional staff on a part-time basis, and again it has been clear that his skills are making a significant difference to our players.
"To have him now with us full-time in our environment will be fantastic for all of us, and the Psychology degree that Michael has studied in his time away from the club is also hugely important when dealing with elite players who need to deliver high quality skill and decision making under extreme pressure."

Defense Commissary Agency Gets Permanent Director
By Steven Donald Smith
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 5, 2006 - Napoleon Bonaparte once opined that an army marches on its stomach, meaning that to be effective, a military relies on good and plentiful food.
In accordance with Napoleon's general theme of the importance of properly feeding ones forces and their families, the Defense Department appointed Patrick B. Nixon as the director of the Defense Commissary Agency on June 27.
"Pat's selection is a great tribute to his abilities and leadership qualities and also to his devoted efforts to sustain an effective commissary system for our people," said David S.C. Chu, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
The Defense Commissary Agency, with headquarters at Fort Lee, Va., operates a worldwide chain of nearly 280 commissaries that provide groceries and household supplies to U.S. military personnel, retirees, and their families at the lowest price consistent with quality.
DeCA employs about 18,000 personnel, has annual sales of more than $5.0 billion, and has a total annual operating budget of about $1.1 billion, placing it in the top 10 largest supermarket chains in America, defense officials said.
For the past two years, DeCA has been undergoing a complex transformation to become a more "business-based, customer-focused organization," where performance and activity-based management practices have reduced operating costs, defense officials said.
Nixon has more than 40 years of retail experience involving every facet of grocery marketing. He has served with the military commissary community since 1983 and has held many senior positions within the Defense Commissary Agency since its activation in 1991. He has served as the agency's chief executive officer since 2001 and was appointed acting director in August 2004.
"As director, my goal for the agency is as it always has been -- to increase the value of the commissary benefit while at the same time being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars," Nixon said.
The appointment constitutes a departmental paradigm shift, with the conversion of the agency's directorship from a military flag officer to a career member of the Senior Executive Service, DoD officials said.
"Mr. Nixon's appointment epitomizes the ongoing commitment to integrate career executives into the top leadership ranks of the department," Chu said in a written statement. "Our senior civilian executives are part of the integrated leadership team responsible for executing the department's 21st century strategy for the defense of this nation. Mr. Nixon's quality and caliber of executive civilian leadership will contribute significantly toward achieving our vital DoD mission."

Make a "Nest" and Enjoy These New, Non-Fiction Titles From JCPL!
In past articles, I've shared some of my overwhelmingly unfortunate painting incidents with you; there was the time I accidentally painted my poor tabby cat an earthy brown color, and then shortly thereafter, decorated what should have been a lovely statue of an angel a very un-heavenly shade of silver until she more resembled the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz than the heavenly being she should have been.
I had an epiphany recently and decided to redecorate my bedroom, and thought that I could surely handle painting the walls. After all, they're pretty big and don't require any artistic ability. Wrong on both counts, I think, and by the time I was finished, my husband offered that "maybe we should just replace all of the woodwork." Okay, painting is not my forte. I should have made a nest on that particular day off and read a good book from the Jasper County Public Library. These new non-fiction titles would be the perfect start.
"The Organic Family Cookbook" by Anni Daulter is full of healthy recipes for family friendly organic meals, snacks, desserts and more! Complete with tips that promote green living, such as specific gardening advice and ideas, as well as kid-friendly and family tested, tried and true, wholesome basic foods, this book offers simple, community building inspiration for a healthier diet.
This new non-fiction title, found at your local branch of the Jasper County Public Library, is just one of many that will provide you with up to the minute information for better living. Check these out!
Kim and Krickett Carpenter had only been married for months when a tragic accident shattered their future as newlyweds. Massive head injuries left Krickett in a coma for weeks, and when she awoke, she no longer recognized the man she had married just two months before. Kim, however, remained steadfast in his love for Krickett and stood by her through the dark times, "The Vow: The True Events That Inspired the Movie" by Kim and Krickett Carpenter is the moving narration of this couple's harrowing journey from the darkness into the light.
The year is 1957; the place Little Rock, Arkansas, the moment in time, of epic proportion to both Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Massery. "Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock" by David Margolick chronicles the lives of these two women after a landmark photograph was taken of the two of them on an ordinary day in September in front of their Little Rock High School. The Civil Rights Movement had just begun, and the image of one girl showing racial outrage toward the other is captured on film, leaving both of them trapped forever in the shadow of that horrible mistake. The painful journey from that moment of hatred to an adult life that blossoms into an unlikely friendship progresses in this narrative of reconciliation and hope.
One third of the people that we all know are actually introverts. Preferring to be quiet and listening over speaking and partying, introverts are sometimes dramatically undervalued by society. According to new research, however, introverts offer great contributions to society, from van Gogh's sunflowers to the personal computer, innovation and creativity can be found in the heart of the introvert. In "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain, you'll meet successful introverts; a witty public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks and a record breaking salesman who uses ingenuity in the form of questions to get his point across, among others that provide hope and inspiration to all those who prefer "the quiet side of life."
From now on, the "quiet life" for me will be sitting in an already painted room surrounded by already painted décor, and, of course, a stack of new books from my friends at JCPL!

Virginia is a magical place where blue mountains form, unicorns roam, fairies fly overhead, and glitter falls from the clouds instead of rain. In this utopia there could only be one perfect school—The University of Virginia.
Though Virginia might not actually consist of mythical creatures, its natural beauty does make it feel like a veritable heaven on Earth. University students here are given the opportunity to choose between a variety of schools and programs, and with the help of academic guidance counselors, students can narrow their options to find the major that suits them best. Developing a relationship with professors also helps students feel comfortable asking questions and actively engaging with the material. Though lecture halls might be huge and professors might seem inaccessible, by being assertive, going to office hours, and choosing smaller classes students will find that most professors are actually very approachable and willing to help. UVA Cavaliers shine not only in academics, but in athletics as well. There is nothing like the bond that forms over football, and the school's special traditions surrounding the sport create an atmosphere of pride and fun. Before games, students gather outside of Scott Stadium, girls in pearls and boys in ties, for tailgating parties.
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth? Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth--and it's called Charlottesville, Virginia. What makes this place so magical and heavenly? It is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, rivers, ponds, hiking trails, and green, green grass. In addition to the unparalleled landscape, the town is home to many activities and cultural attractions. The Downtown Mall is a great place to listen to music, see art, find study cafes, and test out good restaurants and bars. Charlottesville is artsy and funky, but still retains that small-town conservative feel. Because the town has something for everyone, 57% of UVA undergrads choose to live in the city. Most tend to rent in areas like Rugby Road or 14th and 15th Street. The farther away from campus, the cheaper the rent, and with a simple meow you can catch the CAT (Charlottesville Area Transit) to class. For more help searching for an affordable and convenient off-campus apartment, visit our apartment search guides!
Virginia isn't all angelic and innocent. It has a wild side that comes out at night. The Corner is the main area where students frequent bars like Baja Bean, where you can enjoy karaoke and trivia nights. For dancing, try Club 216; for beer pong, check out the Greek scene around campus. House and apartment parties are regular weekend pastimes, so the underage crowd doesn't ever have to feel left out!

Moktada al-Sadr, appearing in public for the first time in months, demanded a timetable for American forces to withdraw from Iraq.
BAGHDAD, May 25 — The populist Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr appeared in public for the first time in months on Friday after what American officials have described as a lengthy period of refuge in Iran. He delivered a fiercely anti-American sermon and offered himself in a new guise as a nationalist intent on bridging the divide between Iraq's warring communities of Shiites and Sunnis.
Flanked by bodyguards and hailed by weeping loyalists, the 33-year-old Mr. Sadr made his reappearance at a mosque in Kufa, a Shiite holy city 100 miles south of Baghdad. The mosque has been Mr. Sadr's favorite redoubt since he emerged early in the Iraqi conflict as the leader of the Mahdi Army, a powerful anti-American militia that has made him a crucial player in the struggle for power in Iraq.
"No, no, no to Satan! No, no, no to America! No, no, no to occupation! No, no, no to Israel!" Mr. Sadr told about 1,000 worshipers, frequently mopping his brow in the 110-degree heat of Iraq's early summer.
He renewed earlier demands for a timetable for an American troop withdrawal, saying the Iraqi government "should not extend the occupation even for a single day." But he avoided setting a deadline, perhaps because of widespread fears among Iraqi Shiites that Iraq's new Shiite-dominated army and police are far from ready to stand alone against the groups aligned with Al Qaeda and the Baathist die-hards who have driven the Sunni insurgency.
Mr. Sadr coupled his call for an American pullout with an offer of a new alliance with Iraq's minority Sunnis, thousands of whom have been killed or driven from their homes over the past year by Shiite death squads. Many of the death squads have been offshoots of the Mahdi Army that have struck in revenge for a relentless Sunni insurgent campaign of bombings aimed at Shiite civilians gathering at markets, mosques, weddings and elsewhere.
Mr. Sadr blamed the Americans for the fighting among Iraqis, saying, "the invader has separated us," Shiites and Sunnis, and that "unity is power and division is weakness." Casting aside for the moment his oft-stated claim to be the only Shiite leader capable of offering Shiites protection against Sunni insurgents, he said he was "extending his hand" to Sunnis and to Iraqi Christians, a small and scattered community that has been reduced by thousands of families in the wave of Iraqis fleeing abroad.
He said he had ordered the Mahdi Army not to attack Sunnis and to end clashes with the Shiite-dominated Iraqi Army and police, which he described as "our brothers." But his strongest appeal was for a new alliance of Shiites, Sunnis and Christians. "I want to say now that the blood of Sunnis is forbidden to everyone," he said. "They are our brothers in religion and in nationality."
He continued, "And let our Christian brothers know that Islam is a friend to our minorities and to other faiths, and seeks dialogue with them."
According to American officials familiar with intelligence reports, Mr. Sadr fled Iraq in January for sanctuary in Iran. The Americans have suggested that the cleric, in fear of arrest or assassination, may have sought refuge in Iran before the American troop buildup ordered in January by President Bush.
Mr. Sadr's spokesmen insisted Friday that he had remained in Iraq all along.
The cleric has matched his rare public appearances in the four years since the American-led invasion with an elusive politics, juggling alliances and enmities in a way that has made him a formidable and unpredictable force.
The pattern was evident again on Friday, when he left political opponents guessing why he chose to resurface now, just as the influx of nearly 30,000 additional American troops is moving to its peak and American commanders are reviewing long-deferred plans for a broad sweep into Sadr City, the vast Baghdad district that has been the base for much of Mr. Sadr's political support.
One theory that has gained widespread currency is Baghdad is that Mr. Sadr, during his reported absence in Iran, saw his power in Iraq eroding. During those months, Shiites suffered ceaseless suicide bombings, some of them claiming scores of victims. Inevitably, the cleric's absence led to talk among Shiites of his having chosen personal safety over his responsibilities to the people he claims to lead.
In addition, critical parts of the Mahdi Army have been gradually dismembered as American and Iraqi forces staged raid after raid on the militia's cells, especially in Sadr City. The raids have had an opaque dimension politically, with American commanders and senior officials in the government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, a political ally of Mr. Sadr's, contending that most if not all of the dozens of "terrorist leaders" killed and captured in the raids have been from "rogue" and "criminal" groups that have broken with Mr. Sadr.
For Mr. Sadr, the formula has had a face-saving quality, and, American commanders say, has helped eliminate elements of the Mahdi Army that were beyond the cleric's control and posed the threat of future challenges to his leadership.
Mr. Sadr's resurfacing comes at a time when mounting pressures in Congress and public opinion in the United States for an American troop withdrawal have led Iraq's feuding political parties to look beyond the time when the American military presence will be the decisive element in the quest for political power.
Mr. Sadr, some Iraqi politicians believe, may have seen this as the moment to make his claim as a nationalist leader, something he has made moves toward before, only to have the attacks on Sunni civilians by Mahdi Army death squads define him as a mercilessly sectarian figure, at least in the minds of many Sunnis.
On Friday, the American military command announced the deaths of six United States soldiers in five separate attacks on Thursday, including two who were killed by a roadside bomb in western Baghdad and four others who were killed in attacks north of Baghdad in Salahuddin, Diyala and Nineveh Provinces.
According to a tally on icasualties.org, a Web site that lists Pentagon death announcements, the latest deaths came on top of 90 other American service members killed during May, up to Wednesday.
With the total almost certain to rise above 100 before the month ends, May seems set to follow April as one of the worst months of the war for deaths among American troops.
Also on Friday, the British military command in the southern city of Basra said a joint raid conducted by British and Iraqi special forces had killed a senior Mahdi Army commander in the city.
The British command identified the man as Abu Qader and said he had been shot while "resisting arrest" during the raid on Mr. Sadr's headquarters in the city. Reuters quoted a British military spokesman as saying that Mr. Qader was suspected of involvement in planting roadside bombs, weapons trafficking, assassinations and participating in attacks on British troops.

Shania's Autobiography: May 3, 2011! Cover photo
SHANIA SIGNS BOOK DEAL! 22/09/2010 9:00am
(NEW YORK) September 22, 2010. Superstar Shania Twain has signed an agreement with Atria Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, to publish her autobiography, it was announced today by Judith Curr, Executive Vice President and Publisher of Atria Books and Washington Square Press. Curr acquired world rights from Robert B. Barnett of Williams & Connolly LLP and Sarah Durand, Senior Editor, will edit. Atria plans to publish the book in spring 2011.
In this yet to be titled autobiography, Shania Twain shares her challenging and sometimes shockingly painful upbringing in rural Ontario, the tragic death of her mother and stepfather, her "against all odds" rise to fame in a foreign entertainment industry, the hurdles she faced as a female outsider in the male-dominated world of country music and the recent struggles in her personal life.
When I read Shanias manuscript, it amazed me how rich, clear, unfiltered and honest she was, said Judith Curr. There is a depth that comes through in her writing. The book will be a help and inspiration to many and those who think they know her from her music will be surprised at the raw and personal place she writes from.
"There have been moments in my life I was concerned by the reality that tomorrow would never come. Recently I experienced one of those moments to an intensity that brought on a sudden urgency to document my life before I ran out of time, before I had the opportunity to share an honest and complete account of my life, in my own words. There are times in your life that are meant for reflection, and this was one of them. I began writing this book with a sincere respect for the past, present and future as something never to be taken for granted," said Twain.
Shania Twain rose to fame in the early 1990s with her debut album Shania Twain (1993), and achieved worldwide success with her 1997 album Come On Over, which became the best-selling album of all time by a female musician, and the best selling country album of all time. A five-time Grammy Award winner, Twain has also achieved major success as a songwriter, winning 27 BMI Songwriter awards. Despite the fact Twain has released very few albums, she has sold over 75 million albums worldwide to date, including 48 million in the U.S. Her docu-series on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network will debut in the spring. This is her first book.

Yep...Things are moving.... :rolleyes: ........ :D It is going to be a quite busy spring for Shania fans...cancel all other previous engagements...;)
Yep, it seems it will be interesting!
Hope it will come with music thought!
I wonder if sheás talking about the almost car accident she had last winter, as urging her to write
You mean her drive in the snowstorm?
yeap. she was frightened by her recalling the story
New music and a new book by her???????????!!!!!!!!!!
And a TV show????
What more could a Shanianut ask for?
Did I miss the announcement about the new music being released?
No announcement....for now.... :lookout but she is on the right track... :giggy: step by step we're getting somewhere.....
#1 Search term on yahoo.com at 2PM ET "Shania Twain"!!!
I note a lot of the reports say she is to write her memoirs.
I believe from the original announcement on the book she has already writtten the manuscript and it is being edited now. Isn't that your take on where the book stands now?
Don't autobiographies usually come out at the end of a career..?
A lot of stars do autobiographies regardless of where they are at in their careers, I guess Shania feels it's the right time to reveal all and writing is therapy for her.
I'd prefer a songwriter doing it through music.

Tonight's post is short and sweet. First, we'll get a little business out of the way. The winner of my Cookin' Crunk giveaway is Brandy! She was lucky commenter #105 out of #106!
Now for the food. You know it's truly fall when you finally break out the butternut squash. Or at least that's the case for me. I never make butternut squash dishes until well into the season, and that's not intentional. I usually just forget about the poor little b-nut squash.
I only remembered him this time because the November recipe of the month in the Happy Herbivore 2012 wall calendar is this Butternut Squash Soup:
I've made various butternut squash soups in the past, but none were as simple as this recipe. It's simply squash, curry powder, and vegetable broth. That's it. But I did add a lot of homemade hot sauce and a little almond-coconut milk (to tone down way too much hot sauce) upon serving.
What's your favorite fall veggie?

I think butternut squash is my fave also - and I have yet to make soup with it! I like to buy the frozen, pre-chopped squash because I always get intimidated by the real deal.

Brussels sprouts and squashes of all kinds! I can't forget about butternuts, cause the CSA sends me a few honkers every winter.

Watchdog groups say the natural gas industry is pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into Pennsylvania's gubernatorial race and most of it is going to Republican nominee Tom Corbett.
Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Common Cause released a report Thursday on campaign spending totals through Sept. 13.
Corbett, the state attorney general, opposes a new tax on natural-gas drilling on the Marcellus Shale reserve. Democratic hopeful Dan Onorato favors such a tax to raise money for environmental protection.
The groups say Corbett's campaign received $334,500 from natural-gas industry political committees and executives during the 97 days covered by the latest campaign finance reports. They say that works out to nearly $3,500 a day.
Onorato received $45,000 during that period -- an average of less than $500 a day.

From Today's NYT:
Health care spending exceeds $2 Trillion
Up to 16% of the GDP. How long is this sustainable?
Grady Hospital in danger (again, or, more properly, still):
Once admired for its skill in treating a population afflicted by both social and physical ills, Grady, a teaching hospital, now faces the prospect of losing its accreditation. Only short-term financial transfusions have kept it from closing its doors, as Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital in Los Angeles County did last year. That scenario would flood the region's other hospitals with uninsured patients and eliminate the training ground for one of every four Georgia doctors.There are now almost 20% fewer public "safety net" hospitals than there were 15 years ago. But rather than Grady's well-known financial troubles, it may well be the Joint Commission that deals the killing blow:
Last month, the Joint Commission, the country's leading health care accrediting agency, raised serious concerns about Grady's status after observing numerous significant shortcomings during a five-day inspection. Although the commission has not yet released a public report, hospital officials, speaking anonymously, said the commission's concerns included broken equipment, sanitation and the adequacy of staff supervision.Will Grady join MLK-Harbor as an anchor safety-net hospital closing its doors? And it's not just in Georgia that the county hospitals are crumbling. ABC reports on Parkland Hospital in Texas:
"I've brought people back that have been in the waiting room 24 hours," says nurse Bunni Mayfield as she scans the hallway for precious bed space. "It's pretty sad. People who come to county know it's going to happen."

| Career Opportunities | Entrepreneurship |
Below is a list of benefits generally offered by retailers. Benefits are provided in various combinations, and some are available based on position length of employment.
Many career areas and positions offer lots of opportunity to be entrepreneurial, without the ultimate responsibility of business ownership. But, a large component of retailers own their own store(s). Single, independent, and privately owned retail businesses account for 95% of the retail industry.

I am always heartened when I see Worcester's leaders taking a step in the direction of encouraging the city's 32,000 higher education students to start companies. That is why I was thrilled to receive an invitation to speak at Worcester State University's "Innovation Lab" workshop on March 26 at The Hanover Theatre.
Although a mountain of midterm grading prevented me from participating, I did interview Worcester State University professor Matt Johnsen on March 25 to learn more about the program.
The Innovation Lab's purpose is to help students turn the talk about startups into action. According to Mr. Johnsen, "Today's college campuses are abuzz with student excitement about entrepreneurship. Many have an idea about a new product or service, but have no idea where to begin in order to turn that concept into a company. The Innovation Lab is designed to help students understand the steps on the path from patent to production, and to get feedback from those who know the process inside out."
Speakers at the event included several individuals I have interviewed in the past. These people include Kevin Harrington, co-founder of Technocopia, a facility where people can make their own products; Brad McNamara, CEO and co-founder of Freight Farms; Kevin O'Sullivan, president and CEO, Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives; and WSU student Derek Canton, the 2013 winner of the Next Big Idea Contest.
Mr. Canton won a $2,000 cash award and plaque in May 2013. He founded G1G � a maker of "well designed, high-quality products with a positive message. Products consist of novelty items including T-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, sweaters, hats, bracelets and sunglasses."
In awarding first prize to Mr. Canton, WSU President Barry Maloney said, "This young man clearly demonstrated that he understood both his new business � a casual clothing line � and the requirements of a successful business plan. It is our ambition at Worcester State that our students not only have ideas good enough to succeed in the new creative economy but also the necessary skills to bring those next big ideas successfully to the market place."
Mr. Canton started his business to promote his religious values and to sell products. As he explained in a May 10 interview, "G1G stands for God is Good. I got the idea for this because many of my peers were using acronyms like YOLO (You Only Live Once), and I wanted to make up my own. A year and a half ago, I used G1G in text messages and Facebook. G1G caught on and I decided to do T-shirts using G1G. We have sold 1,600 units of product. This is my heart and my passion."
The Innovation Lab is consistent with Worcester State University's mission. According to Mr. Johnsen, "Our tag line is 'Changing the way the world works.' I am trying to do that in the area of social innovation, and we are working with the Worcester Business Development Center to create a culture for entrepreneurship in Worcester. I would love to see an innovation center in the (former) Telegram & Gazette building where 40 to 50 startups could work. This is part of the effort to encourage college students to think about entrepreneurship and to stay in Worcester."
Worcester State University's business, sociology and nursing departments are collaborating for this program, said Mr. Johnsen.
He explained, "It is a multi-disciplinary effort, and we are embracing the concept of changing the way the world works. We are accepting responsibility for helping to make things better. And we are inviting other people who can help provide mentoring and capital to local startups so they can bring their ideas to fruition."
Last May I spoke at a forum at the DCU Center that was intended to encourage more startup activity in Worcester. There were plenty of entrepreneurial green shoots back then, and I am encouraged that Mr. Johnsen is continuing to take the initiative to keep the ones under his purview alive.
Looking at Worcester from the perspective of a venture capital investor, I see that the best way to draw in more capital is for one of the city's startups to grow to the size where it can go public or be acquired. Such an outcome could galvanize investors who missed out on that first big win � drawing them in with the prospect of financing Worcester's next win.
I hope that Mr. Johnsen's efforts help to make that so.

First-time producers should understand the commercial appeal of their film and know when to approach a sales company. Andreas Wiseman speaks to key industry sellers about what newcomers need to know about working with them
For new producers, getting a foot in a sales company's door can be a challenge.
Sales veterans are continually sifting through a deluge of scripts and e-mails from experienced producers, so for relative newcomers soliciting interest in projects can be even more difficult.
Moreover, sales companies are as likely to hear about young talent from their industry contacts as they do from working through submissions. "We often hear about young talent through recommendations," says FilmNation CEO Glen Basner, echoing a familiar sentiment.
"For those outside the industry who want to connect with financiers, it's about getting involved in the film-making community. We congregate at festivals, markets and events and it's about trying to become part of that community. It's also about meeting other young producers and sharing experiences with them. So it's not only about meeting top decision-makers but starting out among your peers."
New-York based Basner — who says "the key factor for us is whether we believe we can pre-sell a movie" — highlights a collaboration with fledgling producers Neal Dodson and Anna Gerb on JC Chandor's survival film All Is Lost, which screens out of competition at Cannes, as an example of a successful recent interaction.
Dodson and Gerb had only one feature producer credit between them before they partnered with Chandor on 2011 Oscar-nominated thriller Margin Call, but their knowledge gained from those features, a string of shorts and other industry roles led to a smooth partnership with FilmNation.
"I knew the film-maker socially," Basner says. "But we worked well with that team because they had been through the process before, they knew what they did and didn't like about the process and could communicate that with us, which enabled us to tailor our approach to work in a collaborative, fruitful way. It's been a great experience."
For those producers who have not necessarily been through the feature process before, understanding the taste of the company you are approaching and your film's potential as a marketable commodity are fundamental.
"Knowing what works on the international market and being brief on the film's selling points are vital when approaching us," says TrustNordisk CEO Rikke Ennis.
"Sending out scripts and finance plans with your first e-mail can be optimistic. A lot of people pitch the projects from A to Z but that's not interesting. Underline the selling points. If you have a book adaptation, for example, you need to be very sharp on its selling points. Where has it sold? How many copies have sold? How many languages has it been translated into?"
The Iron Lady producer Damian Jones agrees with Ennis's sentiments when discussing his earliest films. "In hindsight, I would have got more early feedback from a sales company on what would have made my film more attractive, such as knowing its position in the market better before I formally attached the cast."
Script and director
Talent attachments remain key. But for many companies a promising or established director holds more weight than acting talent, especially in a project's earliest life.
"Too many producers write in with only cast attached. Get the director on," says Jeremy Baxter, head of acquisitions at Protagonist Pictures, sellers of Justin Kurzel's Snowtown, Ben Wheatley's Kill List and Paddy Considine's Tyrannosaur, all of which were produced by first or second-time producers.
"We are not a development or a production outfit. At this point we're not looking for a producer with a hot idea who needs seed money. They need to come with a relatively well-prepared script and director. If you're a young producer, team with a young director. Those are often the best partnerships, which then go on to grow from there."
Sales companies increasingly want to be involved in projects at an early stage. But the timing of the approach is crucial. "The biggest mistake is for a new producer to approach too early or far too late," continues Baxter. "Most sales partners want to be involved as early as possible. It's very rare a company like ours would take on a completed film once it has been taken on by a festival, especially the wrong festival. We're inundated with those kinds of e-mails. Part of our business is building buzz, before it has dissipated. We have to be involved in the launch of the film."
Visit Films president Ryan Kampe agrees: "Producers with finished films often don't understand what they have to deliver to us in terms of marketing materials. Even taking still photos on sets is something that seems to have disappeared completely from a lot of the younger US producers."
That being said, in the UK at least, young producers are increasingly in tune with the business, says Baxter. "New producers often seem savvy about the changing distribution models and VoD, too. They are far more adventurous about challenging the traditional distribution model."
Learning curve
New producers can often rely on learning about the industry through networking and training events at major markets such as Cannes and Berlin, a growing number of sophisticated post-graduate film courses, as well as the programmes of industry organisations such as ACE and those of national film bodies.
"There are some good universities where you can study film," says Tanja Meissner, head of international sales and acquisitions at Memento Films.
"Producers can also learn a lot by attending co-production forums. Rotterdam's CineMart is a great one, for example. You meet a lot of people there, depending on the type of film. And organisations like ACE run a great atelier. Everyone should try to apply to that. That being said, if a young producer hasn't also done an internship at a production company, I would struggle to take them seriously."
US sales executives appreciate there is perhaps less of a support structure for domestic producers than in Europe. "There isn't much of a formal support network in the US," says Kampe. "The support network is working your way up and working with people that take an interest in you and your career. So when bigger producers are doing smaller projects you get more responsibility and we meet these people."
Above all, be prepared, concludes Basner, who boils it down to three key ingredients for producers keen to get sellers' attention. "First, be prepared to talk about your film in a concise fashion. Second, know the company you're talking to and what their films are like. Third, in terms of understanding the business, it's about asking questions, reading the trades, tracking the box office and working out what films are working where."
"If you have a script with no cast or financing, don't come to us. I can't sell that. Understand what we need."
Ryan Kampe president, Visit Films
"If you're a young producer, team with a young director. Those are often the best partnerships, which can grow from there."
Jeremy Baxter, head of acquisitions, Protagonist Pictures
"Young producers often think a film will increase in value after a good berth at a festival, but it won't. You can't create the same interest in a film after its launch. Pre-sales are still so important."

I've been listening to the Beatles a lot recently. I'm not to sure why but I have. It's probably because I can't stand what's spinning on the radio. At this point in my life I seem to really be connecting with John, Paul, George and Ringo. A fellow colleague of mine gave a pop quiz to an entire class of Intro to Psychology students (about 250 students). At the end of the quiz he asked an unrelated question. That question was "Who is your favorite band of all time?" Responses included multiple votes for The Fray and All American Rejects. No one answered the Beatles. That's disturbing.
To ensure that my children grow up with good musical taste I'll be sure to play them the Beatles discography while they are still in the womb. And then I'll pick up this shirt for them, The Beatles Alphabet, designed by Ian Leino ($19.95).

I'm only an internet expert, but yes.
Something went wrong on Tuesday during a light bench workout. Something like a pop can crunching in my chest.
Limited range of motion the night of, moderate pain, discomfort sleeping.
Has gotten less painful day by day but a golf ball sized swelling occurred no bruising. Range of motion improved daily.
Just was outside watering the grass, I think bundling the hose after pushed some blood around now I have some bruising.
Looks like a small tear? Tried to attach photos in Tapatalk, hopefully it works.Resized_20170825_111150.jpgResized_20170825_111143.jpg

Hard to tell.
Are you going to see a doctor?
Was hoping to give it a week because it was getting better each day now the bruising I'm going to call my sports doc

Called my doc I'll see him next Friday

I'd say very small tear at most. I wouldn't be too concerned with it. I tore my pec 4 years ago and it was horrible. I had bruising all down my arm. You will be good
Doctor said it was a tear, have to get an ultrasound to see how bad. Doc said I'm pretty lucky with how small he thinks it is

Good luck with the ultrasound . With any luck it's a minor thing and you will be fine

Its always been a bit of a pipe dream of mine to go to red carpet events and rub shoulders with all the hottest celebrities so when it come to evaluating sassy little dresses from the S/S 09 show season one of the questions I've been asking myself is "Would I wear it to a movie premier?". Above are a few of my favourites, at the moment I'm into shoulder action, bows, frills, feathers, sequins, studs and short as possible!
Pretty uninspired today as its really overcast and I may be slightly hungover. Thought I'd wear a little colour to brighten things up.

Species In-Depth
At the Aquarium
The bowmouth guitarfish is not exhibited at the Aquarium. This information is presented for reference information about this guitarfish species.
Geographic Distribution
Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea and East Africa to Papua New Guinea, north to Japan, south to New South Wales, Australia
Although they have been recorded as deep as 90 m (295 ft), bowmouth guitarfish generally prefer shallow water fairly close to shore in or near coral reefs or mangroves at depths of 1-20 m (3.3-85 ft). They are primarily bottom dwelling animals preferring sandy or muddy substrates but may swim above the bottom.
Physical Characteristics
The bowmouth guitarfish's flat, broad, blunt, arc-shaped head spreads into two flat, distinct triangular-shaped pectoral fins. The nostrils, mouth, and gill slits are located on the ventral surface of the head, and the eyes and large spiracles are on the dorsal side. The jaws are heavily ridged with crushing teeth arranged in wave-like rows. Behind the head the body tapers into a more streamlined shape, much like that of sharks. There are sturdy ridges of heavy, sharp thorns next to the eyes, in the middle of the back, and above the pectoral fins. This guitarfish has two large, triangular dorsal fins, the second smaller than the first. The body terminates in a small but powerful caudal fin with an upper lobe that is larger than the lower. The tail of this species is much longer than the disc. Dermal denticles cover the body giving the rough skin a velvety appearance.
The color of bowmouth guitarfish changes with age. Young fish have brown bodies, pale ring-shaped spots covering their pectoral fins, and black bars between the eyes. Adults have charcoal or pale gray bodies with small white spots. The face bars fade to dark gray as they age, becoming faint and indistinct. Some adults have a bluish coloration. The creamy white underbodies in both adult and juvenile phases provides these rays with protective countershading.
The largest bowmouth guitarfish on record was 2.9 m (9.5 ft) long. However, animals above 2.44 m (8 ft) in length are rare. One captured male weighed 135 kg (297 lbs), but most of these fish weigh much less.
These guitarfish primarily feed on crustaceans and mollusks they find on the ocean floor and in the sediment. Since their eyes are located on the top of the head, bowmouth guitarfish locate their prey primarily through smell. Once an animal finds a potential meal, it restrains it with its broad, blunt head, easing the prey into its mouth with a series of short sharp thrusts. The flat, heavily ridged teeth are used to crush the shells of their prey.
Fertilization in bowmouth guitarfish is internal. Reproduction among this species is called ovovivparity, or aplacental viviparity with histotrophy. Fertilized eggs are retained in the female's body, where they are nourished by both the egg yolk and by uterine milk. In its early developmental stage, the embryo receives its nutrition from the egg yolk. Then it breaks and sheds the thin membrane of the egg capsule and receives its nourishment from a fluid called histotroph or 'uterine milk' which is secreted from villi, appendages in the wall of the female's uterus. These uterine extensions also provide the embryo with oxygen and remove its waste.
Usually four to five pups are born live. The newborn pups are about 45 cm (18 in) in length. They disperse immediately after birth to live independent lives without parental care.
Some scientists believe bowmouth guitarfish use the unusual spiked ridges over their eyes, nape, and pectoral fins to "head-butt" potential attackers, however, this theory has not been proven.
These fish have unusual spiked ridges over their eyes, nape, and pectoral fins. The ridges prevent larger would-be predators from biting vital parts of the head and body. Some scientists believe bowmouth guitarfish also use the broad spines to "head-butt" potential attackers, but this theory has not been proven.
In protected environments, bowmouth guitarfish live for about seven years. Lifespan in the wild is unknown.
The IUCN Red List labels these animals as vulnerable. Since they reproduce slowly, they cannot recover quickly from the multiple threats facing them.
They are a targeted species in some areas and are also caught as bycatch in commercial fisheries utilizing trawl nets, gill nets, and hook and line techniques. Some turtle exclusion devices have minimally reduced their capture. Although not generally considered a good food fish, they are popular in some areas and are found in fish markets.
They are specifically hunted for their pectoral fins. In a process called finning, fishermen cut off the fins, usually while the animal is still alive. The rest of the animal is thrown back into the water, where it starves or bleeds to death. Once dried or salted, the fins reach the market, where they bring very high prices as the primary ingredient in sharkfin soups. Finning is illegal in United States waters and in many of the areas where this fish is caught, but enforcement is difficult and there is a lively black market in this lucrative practice .In small inshore fisheries in tropical countries, sun-drying of fins requires minimal technology and artisanal fishermen are encouraged by shark/ray fin-traders to target local populations. As a result, even coastal ray and shark populations in the remotest parts of the world are now vulnerable to over-exploitation, and rapid depletion of local populations often results from such trading activity.
Pollution, near shore development, silting, and global climate change are destroying the coral reefs these fish use for habitat. This species is also a victim of dynamite fishing for other species.
Special Notes
The bowhead guitarfish, often described as prehistoric in appearance, is considered by some scientists to be the 'missing link' between sharks and rays based on the ray-like placement of the mouth and gill openings, and disc shape of the front part of the body and the shark-like streamlined appearance of the rest of the body and the powerful tail.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Who could ever forget the wisdom of the rock band Spinal Tap: "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Don Draper: Stuck in place as 'Mad Men' opens its new season with an episode off the mark
Frazier Moore, The Associated Press
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Who could ever forget the wisdom of the rock band Spinal Tap: "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
After watching the season premiere of "Mad Men," I have hit upon my own truism: It's such a fine line between challenging and annoying.
By traditional TV standards, a lousy episode of "Mad Men" is unthinkable. From its cast to its costumes to its rich sensibility, there's always plenty to admire.
But that doesn't get this brilliant series off the hook as it starts its much-awaited sixth season. The two-hour opener was, simply put, a disappointment — even annoying — for how much it demanded from the viewer and how little it offered in return.
What did we learn from the episode (which, written by series creator Matthew Weiner, aired Sunday on AMC)?
Ad man Don Draper (series star Jon Hamm), though still married to his adoring mate Megan (Jessica Pare), was still tormented, brooding — and philandering. As his inaugural tryst of 1968, Don cheated with the wife of a physician neighbour who was called away from the Drapers' New Year's Eve party on a medical emergency.
"What do you want for this year?" the doctor's sexy wife asked Draper as they lay, one floor below his own apartment (and Megan), in post-coital repose.
"I want to stop doing this," he said.
It was a nice twist and the episode's only real payoff.
Meanwhile, Don's agency partner Roger Sterling (John Slattery) was still gin-soaked and sardonically bleak.
"Life is supposed to be a path," he moped to his psychiatrist, "and you go along and these things happen to you and they're supposed to change you." But it "turns out the experiences are nothing."
Don and Roger and the other principals of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce took turns posing for company photos. Their individual portraits seemed to capture what's happened to many of these characters: They operate more than ever in isolated spheres, barely able to relate to one another, barely able, it seems, to even stand one another.
"Mad Men" has always been fascinating for the oblique way the characters interact, connecting disconnectedly, often talking past each other in cryptic interchanges, with the viewer invited to fill in the gaps.
But the gaps yawned way too wide in the season opener. Besides, too many of the scenes were static set pieces, revealing little and moving the episode nowhere you could see.
Perhaps most problematic: the character of Don's ex-wife, Betty (January Jones), who came off as not just obnoxious, bitter and battling weight issues, as in the past, but also downright inscrutable.
In bed with husband Henry (Christopher Stanley), she seized on his comment that a 15-year-old friend of their daughter's who was spending the night plays the violin beautifully.
"She's just in the next room," said Betty with a mystical smile. "Why don't you go in there and rape her? I'll hold her arms down."
Henry was astonished and so was the viewer. What was that about? Just who has Betty become, and to what purpose for the show? And what's up with her dyeing her blond hair brown?
But if Betty is an enigma, she is trumped by Don, who, to judge from the premiere, is even more obscure than as the predictably mysterious figure of past seasons. He's now impossible to crack.
During his photo session, Don asked the photographer, "What do you want?"
"I want you to be yourself" was the reply Draper got — a loaded request for a man who, years ago, took possession of a dead man's identity.
Don's identity crisis has been at the heart of "Mad Men" since its start. The upscale-professional-suave persona he crafted for himself has served him well. But it's a product of the 1950s. Draper, while still charismatic and commanding, is increasingly old hat as he enters middle age in 1968. The advertising industry — and the culture, too — continue to shift beneath his feet as he struggles to adapt, but his wingtips seem stuck in concrete.
No wonder he remains tightly wound and detached.
Or is he?
The episode began with him and Megan on a business getaway to Hawaii, where Megan was thrilled to be in tropical paradise.
Don mostly brooded, even after Megan scored a joint and got him stoned.
Yet, when the couple returned to Manhattan, Don spoke dreamily of having "had an experience. It was nice."
And when presenting a campaign for the Hawaiian resort where he and Megan vacationed, he described "a feeling that's stayed with me" since this holiday, and showed the clients an ad where an unseen tourist has shed his clothes on the beach and apparently splashed into the ocean.
The clients noted that the scene looked less like a travel fantasy than a suicide. Did the man die?
"Maybe he did," replied Don, slipping into a reverie, "and he went to heaven. Maybe that's what this feels like."
If Don was so transformed by the trip, why no sign of his transcendence when he was there?
Instead, when first seen, he was sunning himself in paradise while reading Dante's "Inferno": "Midway in our life's journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood."
It was hardly the sign of a man having fun. Quite the opposite, it teed up Roger Sterling's later lamentation to his shrink.
"Life is supposed to be a path," grumped Roger, but "you're just going in a straight line to you-know-where."
To its credit, there are no straight lines in "Mad Men." But the premiere had warning signals that the show may be going astray. Challenging the viewer is what has made "Mad Men" great. But it shouldn't be a guessing game. It shouldn't put an onus on the viewer to make sense of behaviour that doesn't add up. That's annoying.

The Oblong Rocksnail hasn't been collected in more than 75 years, and in 2000 was declared extinct thanks to habitat loss. Surprisingly, the snail has been rediscovered, but is still under severe threat.
The Leptoxis compacta specimen was discovered by University of Alabama PhD student Nathan Whelan, who was kayaking down the Cahaba river in search of the snail. It once survived in a 50-mile stretch of water, but now seems restricted to just one half-mile of habitat.
Within that limited range, they actually seem to be doing pretty well. "We don't know how many individuals are left," Whelan said in a press release. "Locally, they seem somewhat abundant. Anecdotally, the sole remaining population seems to be doing fine."
There's a move to try and establish a second snail community within the snail's original range, so that the entire population won't be quite so vulnerable to single catastrophic event. After all, when your entire known population exists in just half a mile of water, a single natural or industrial disaster is enough to wipe out the lot of you.

MechTechnologies has a reputation for providing cost-effective, quality oriented, and reliable software services to clients across the globe.
As experts in developing custom software solutions, we can handle all aspects of your software project specification, designs and implementation, testing and related services. We hire only the best developers, who fulfill the needs of the client.
Moreover, our highly-trained web/graphic designers have the capabilities to make ergonomically-correct, user-friendly interfaces and software systems.
Paying attention to detail, and 100% commitment to for our customers, allows us to accomplish our company vision, which is to surpass our client's expectations on every project.
To certify your projects' security and confidentiality, MechTechnologies signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) so that the details of the project are only available to our high-class software developers who are directly involved.
Once our clients are pleased with the legal considerations, MechTechnologies then signs a services contract which implicates our responsibility, our promises of deliverables, pricing and the delivery schedule for the custom software project.
To ensure that client expectations are being met, all payments are transacted after each milestone of the project has been achieved and approved by the client.
In order to have a successful project clear communication with our clients is a must. Regular communication with the client is critical in any outsourced project, since it can make or break a project.
As a result we make sure that any cultural or linguistic differences are eliminated in order to facilitate clear and unobstructed interaction with our clients.
Also in order to ensure smooth communication, we assign the project manager of your software development project to serve as your direct contact throughout all the stages of the project.
We offer our clients with project deliverables at clearly defined phases throughout the entire project process. These phases range from the Analysis Stage, The Application Design Stage until The Development Stage.
Once a client has submitted their requirements to us we review everthing at length. Then we communicate with the client and gather additional information, in the form of documents, congregate existing systems if available, market research and competitor analysis to form a strong base for the development of the software system.
This allows us to have a robust understanding of the requirement of our clients. This in turn allows us to develop solutions that best suit the clients' needs and requirements.
This is when the information gathered from the client is extremely helpful to our software developers. The analysis & creation of the software, the variety of specification models, the establishment of the clients' requirements, and the vision & scope of the software solution all play a major role in the brainstorming session that will lead to a flawless & successful software project.
Some of the diagrams that are used within the design procedure for a successful custom software solution which include:
The vast and vital information gathered from the Design Process plays a major role in the custom software development. The implementation and design models are a strong aid in the development of the code, which then follows onto the software application source code for testing.
In order to ensure the successful evolution of the software solution, documentation of the processes is presented to the client for review as the project developmentof the software solution processes.
During this stage users enter 'dummy' data and fully test the developed software application, which results in quality-assured test reports which is then presented to the client for approval.
The client then provides feedback and gives approval which allow MT to move forward once the client is completely satisfied with our softwareapplication.
Project Deployment & Acceptance involves the implementation of the software application on the clients' behalf. This leads to the client signing off the implementation as usable and fully developed.
We ensure the satisfaction of the client via debugging (if any) and also offer to convey the functionality of the developed software application.

A private citizen effort to reopen the Antelope Butte Ski Area as a nonprofit took a step forward this month, as the recently formed Antelope Butte Foundation met with the National Forest Service to put a hold on action to dismantle what's left of the facility in order for ABF to develop and present their business and fundraising plans to the state.
The Antelope Butte Foundation's goal is to reopen the facility as a non-profit organization. Mark Weitz, who started the foundation with a few others from the Sheridan area, talks about the steps they will take from here.
Closed since 2004, the facility is owned by the federal government as part of the Big Horn National Forest, and several small efforts by developers to purchase the lifts and lodge and reopen the facility since that time have been unsuccessful. Weitz says that this new approach as a nonprofit, will hopefully succeed where those other efforts He talked about a new approach.
As for the response that Weitz mentioned, there has been an enthusiastic one, and the time will come when people can help – like the Third Thursday Festival on Aug 17, where they will be set up to give out information.
Nonprofit ski areas are a hybrid that have been used in attempts to remedy difficulties brought about by changes in the the ski industry, Weitz said. Smaller ski-markets - like the northeastern Wyoming area - have not been able to support a ski area, so the nonprofit's ability to apply for grants and donations is key.
Weitz added that there are other things they would do to generate revenue to support the ski area, including various options allowing outside groups summer use of the facility. He wants to work with the Northern Wyoming Community College District, and Sheridan College to use the facility for educational purposes as well.
In a letter to Weitz and ABF dated July 26, the Sheridan County Commissioners said that they would not be able to support ABF financially in their reopening efforts. Aside from that, Weitz said that he has heard interest from private groups in terms of donations.
Efforts are still in the beginning stages, with renovation of the facility still needing to be contracted and executed if everything goes as planned. Weitz said that if all this happens they would like to have the lifts running and people hitting the slopes by the 2012 ski season. If that can happen, Weitz and the Antelope Butte Foundation will work to make Antelope Butte available to as many people as possible.

City of Twelve Spires
In a land ravaged by storms of wild magic and rampaging horrors there exists an oasis of calm respite; this was the City of Twelve Spires. In this place the forces of Good wage their war against Evil, yet all know they dare not seek ultimate victory. Here, in a bizarre twist of fate, the people desperately cling to the ideal of focused Evil as a shield. After all, it was the Evil ruling from the twelve spires that held back the chaos of the world beyond.

After two weeks of heavy rain, Metro Manila woke up early morning Tuesday to find the city virtually submerged in water. Though no storm warnings were issued, unusual rainfall reminiscent of Typhoon Ketsana in 2009, left more than 800,000 of people stranded, homeless, and without power.
Developing countries like the Philippines are the most vulnerable and least prepared to face the climate crisis. Climate experts say that unless decisive solutions are immediately put on the table, the worst is yet to come. As we continue to develop and upgrade climate change adaptation mechanisms at home, Greenpeace strongly calls on industrialized countries, which account for most of the world's greenhouse gas emissions—the greatest contributor to climate change—to take responsibility. It is unfair that people in the Philippines should be the ones paying a greater price for the damage that developed countries have wrought on the environment.

Welcome Back to Bread Loaf
We hope these pages will help you stay connected with Bread Loaf or reconnect if you've been out of touch. They will help you in such practical matters as requesting a letter of recommendation, ordering an official transcript, or learning about resources available to all Bread Loaf students, past and present.
Official Transcripts
To obtain an official Bread Loaf transcript, you must submit a request in writing to the registrar's office. Click here for more information.
Letters of Recommendation
Requests for letters of recommendation should be directed to the Bread Loaf office, through Melissa Nicklaw, and not directly to Bread Loaf faculty. These letters incorporate comments written by the Bread Loaf faculty and they will be kept on file in the Bread Loaf office for future use.
Melissa will pass your request on to the associate director, who will write the letter. Be sure to include the address(es) to which the letter(s) should be sent, as well as any applicable deadlines, forms, or other necessary information. Requests should be received by the Bread Loaf office at least one month before you'll need the letter.
All Bread Loaf students and alumni receive a free account on BreadNet, an electronic network that provides an e-mail account and is also used to link the classrooms of Bread Loaf teachers. The primary goals of BreadNet are to perpetuate the Bread Loaf community throughout the year and to encourage collaboration among all Bread Loaf teachers, faculty, and their classrooms. All Bread Loaf students, faculty, staff, and graduates are invited to join. We see many old friends joining discussions in "Cyberbarn."
Faculty, staff, students, or graduates requesting access to BreadNet may contact Caroline Eisner, director of BreadNet, to request an account. BreadNet requires client software, which you may download for free via our download site.
JSTOR and Project Muse Access for Alumni
As an alumnus/a of Middlebury you can now access hundreds of multi-disciplinary scholarly journals in the arts, sciences, and social sciences. Access to JSTOR (short for "journal storage") includes a full-text archive of thousands of scholarly journals in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Some books are also included. (Note that current journal content in JSTOR is excluded from alumni access.) Project Muse includes full text access to hundreds of scholarly journals in the humanities, social sciences, and mathematics from the 1990s to present. Some books are also included. Funding for this service is provided by the Middlebury College Library.

Career Services
Middlebury's Center for Careers and Internships is ready to assist you as you contemplate career decisions. Visit their website for information about how to arrange a meeting with one of their career advisors, for resume building advice, practice interviews, or networking tips.
Returning to Bread Loaf
Bread Loaf graduates may of course apply to return for a summer or two. Returning students who have not attended Bread Loaf in the past 10 years or more will be asked to submit new application materials.
A gratifying number of our MAs apply to the Bread Loaf MLitt program. All students, even Bread Loaf MAs, must apply formally to the MLitt program. Read about the MLitt under "Academics."
While we cannot offer lodging for visitors during the summer, many former students visit Vermont to see the play each summer, or stop by St. John's College in Santa Fe for a reading or lecture. Summer contact information and schedules of major summer events at all four campuses will be posted on the individual campus pages in early June.
