About FLAX Filled Products
Intelex is the first company in the world to use flax seeds as a filling material for microwavable gifts. Intelex has spent over 18 months researching and developing suitable treatments for this material to make it the perfect replacement for wheat. No other company offers such a soft filling material with what they see to be the perfect heat retention characteristics.
Lighter than wheat
Intelex uses 690 grams to fill their Cozy Plush products instead of 850 - making them lighter and easier for children to carry.
Better feel
The smaller, rounder flax seeds uniquely have a much softer, more fluid feel.
Better heat curves
Flax filled products stay warm for 30% longer than wheat or flaxseed and heats evenly with no 'hot-spots'.
Less affected by humidity
Flax filled do not absorb as much moisture from the air as wheat and so smells fresher even after long periods in storage and after many uses in a microwave. They also do not require "a cup of water" to rehydrate having been in the microwave.
Safety Standards
Intelex has spent over 18 months developing a series of treatments for flax to ensure it is safe to use again and again over a long period of time. Their flax filled products conform to EN71- 1/2/3, ATM F963, BS8433-2004 and CE safety standards.
Intelex holds unblemished track record for total safety and impeccable quality.
All Intelex products exceed the relevant safety standards including: British safety standard BS8433:2004, European toy safety standard EN71-1/2/3, and American toy safety standard ASTM-f963
About the Manufacturer
Intelex is the market leader in fully microwavable soft toys and gifts, and the world's largest manufacturer of fully microwavable gifts.
Established in London in 1995, Intelex designs all of its products in-house and manufactures to exacting standards in their factories in UK and China.

Recent Splitboard Reviews
K2 Panoramic Splitboard Kit
Board is awesome, Voile universal interface leaves a little to be desired. I love this thing, it's my first split. I have put about a dozen days on it so far and it's holding up great. The full rockered tip and tail are a blessing in deep powder, and the board actually performs pretty well on hardpack as well. The only condition I have noticed it being less than ideal in is heavy wet snow. The flexy tip and tail have a hard time pushing around the heavy stuff without excessive flex, making it… Full review
Prior AMF Splitboard
This is a great splitboard for powder and nothing but powder. It has a great system for going back and forth between board and skis but it is just so heavy. Trying to do tricks off cliffs with this board is very hard because it's so heavy, same thing with tight trees or gnarly narrow chutes, but if it's an open powder field this board can rip. I have had this board for 3 years now and it has rarely disappointed me. The only time I did not like it is when you need to get small quick turns in. I really… Full review
Venture Snowboards Storm Split
I'm riding the 166 Storm, and it has far surpassed my expectations for a splitboard- The interface is tight, and the progressive camber makes staying on top of deep snow a snap. There's lots of pop in it for a bigger board, no noodley action shifting from one edge to the other. The arrow-pointed, flared nose cuts through crust while keeping the tip above an untimely snag. I put in an average of fifty backcountry days a year, and refuse to run a quiver of splitboards; They are expensive and very… Full review

Aston Villa's hopes of persuading striker Andreas Weimann to sign a new contract appear to have stalled after initial talks, it is understood from reports.
Weimann has been one of Villa's key performers in his first full season of first team football and scored his 10th goal of the campaign in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Arsenal.
He signed a three-year deal at the start of the 2011-2012 season believed to be worth in the region of £15,000 a week.
Villa are now hoping for the 21-year-old to commit his long-term future with the midlands club and he has no desire to leave.
But it is believed that the new terms on offer have initially not been looked upon favourably by Weimann's representatives.
Villa's precarious position in the Barclays Premier League - they lie third from bottom with 11 games left - is also thought to be a consideration.
Manager Paul Lambert has confirmed that talks were ongoing with the Austria Under-21 international who joined Villa from Rapid Vienna five years ago.
Lambert has described Weimann as "a natural finisher" and he has slotted in effectively alongside 15-goal Christian Benteke - often at the expense at club record signing Darren Bent.
The Scot recently said: "It would be great for the long term if Andreas signs (a new contract). The talks have been ongoing."
Weimann's immediate priority is to try and ensure top-flight survival for Villa after the setback against the Gunners.
He said: "We will fight for each other, for the fans and for the club and do everything we can to stay up.
"We have 11 games to go and we will do everything to get out of this.
"We're confident of turning it around. We've got 11 games to get out of it. We're confident that by the end of the season we won't be in there."

CVE Author: NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel software when the software fails to properly handle objects in memory, aka 'Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'.Exploitability Analysis:
This is a vulnerability exploitable with network access which means the vulnerable software is bound to the network stack and the attacker does not require local network access or local access to exploit it. Such a vulnerability is often termed "remotely exploitable".Exploitability Complexity:
The access conditions are somewhat specialized; the following are examples: The attacking party is limited to a group of systems or users at some level of authorization, possibly untrusted. Some information must be gathered before a successful attack can be launched. The affected configuration is non-default, and is not commonly configured (e.g., a vulnerability present when a server performs user account authentication via a specific scheme, but not present for another authentication scheme). The attack requires a small amount of social engineering that might occasionally fool cautious users (e.g., phishing attacks that modify a web browser's status bar to show a false link, having to be on someone's "buddy" list before sending an IM exploit).Authentication:
Authentication is not required to access and exploit the vulnerability.Confidentiality Impact:
There is total information disclosure, resulting in all system files being revealed. The attacker is able to read all of the system's data (memory, files, etc.).Integrity Impact:
There is a total compromise of system integrity. There is a complete loss of system protection, resulting in the entire system being compromised. The attacker is able to modify any files on the target system.Availability Impact:
There is a total shutdown of the affected resource. The attacker can render the resource completely unavailable.NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) NVD (National Vulnerability Database)

of the most fascinating types of impressed decoration is the cord
marking on the Jomon pottery of neolithic Japan. The Jomon period
continued for several thousand years, ending about 300 B.C. , and
several distinct styles developed. The interest in cod-impressed
texture continued throughout the period although it did not appear
on all the pottery. The name Jomon, meaning
"cord-marked", first applied to the pottery by a 19th
century scholar, became the name for the entire culture. These
tools can be rolled on soft slabs or on the walls of pots using
the palm and fingers.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Republicans huddled Thursday over the slow-motion showdown of the Mississippi Senate runoff, with allies of Sen. Thad Cochran aiming to sharpen his message and supporters of tea party-endorsed challenger Chris McDaniel exploiting his opponent's vulnerabilities. Cash, campaign help and advice flowed into a titanic clash of the factions splitting the GOP.
McDaniel, a state senator, led in Tuesday's primary and had momentum from a national patchwork of archconservative organizations looking for their first incumbent scalp of the midterm election year. Cochran, a six-term Senate veteran, was on the defensive amid a frenzy of anti-Washington, anti-establishment fervor.
On Thursday afternoon, Cochran promised a fight throughout the campaign.
Told that the conservative Club for Growth, which spent $2.5 million backing McDaniel before the primary, had called for him to drop out, Cochran laughed. "Whoa," he said after a stop at a Raytheon Co. facility about 50 miles east of Jackson. "They can relax. ... I have no intention of dropping out. I have every intention of winning the election."
Alongside him was Stuart Stevens, a top strategist for Mitt Romney's failed presidential campaign in 2012. Romney hasn't endorsed Cochran, but Stevens' presence was another reminder that Cochran has run as an establishment Republican, backed by the national party's Senate campaign committee and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others.
McDaniel and his supporters maintain that those associations are Cochran's greatest liability and make it impossible for him to win over conservatives who are angry about the nation's direction.
"Sen. Cochran has had five decades in Washington and it's clear that six more years of the same won't have any impact on the direction of our country," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in calling for Cochran to drop out of the June 24 runoff.
Chocola's group led the spending among third-party organizations whose combined effort topped $8.4 million, a staggering sum for a state with 3 million residents and relatively inexpensive television advertising rates.
Groups on both sides have promised they'll stay engaged in coming weeks, though McDaniel's supporters have thus far seemed more eager.
"The message to them is: 1,300 votes," FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe said in an interview in his Washington office, referring to Tuesday's margin. "Insurgents win on the ground."
FreedomWorks spent about $350,000 in the primary, and Kibbe promised more. The group's biggest efforts will be on voter turnout. FreedomWorks has ordered 20,000 more yard signs and another 40,000 pro-McDaniel fliers to leave at voters' doors. The group is planning to keep its volunteers and organizers in the state for the runoff. And an eight-city bus tour is scheduled for next weekend. McDaniel lost six of the nine counties that hold those cities; Hattiesburg straddles two counties.
Kibbe said the message will stay focused on Cochran's role in Washington.
"The people that we're fighting with are self-anointed Republican strategists whose day jobs is lobbying," he said.
It was a not-so-subtle jab at Haley Barbour, the former national GOP chairman and two-term Mississippi governor who, along with several of his family members, is backing Cochran. After leaving the governor's office in 2012, Barbour returned to the Washington-based lobbying shop he founded.
Barbour has repeatedly warned Republicans that nominating doctrinaire conservatives leads to general election losses in winnable races, such as the GOP's Senate losses in Nevada and Delaware in 2010, followed by Indiana and Missouri in 2012. For the most part, Republicans have steered clear of tea party aligned candidates this year, intensifying the movement's focus on McDaniel.
Cochran, who once said he didn't "know a lot about" the tea party, said he would reach out to all voters, including African-Americans and Democrats.
"Voting rights has been an issue of great importance in Mississippi," he said, adding, "I think democracy works better when all people participate."
Out of Mississippi's 1.9 million registered voters, only the 85,000 who cast Democratic primary ballots Tuesday are ineligible to vote in the GOP runoff.
The senator's supporters, meanwhile, continue to paint the McDaniel team as extreme, using as their latest argument that one of McDaniel's prominent backers and two companions went to a county courthouse in Jackson long after officials had finished counting ballots for the night. Janis Lane, a Central Mississippi Tea Party leader, said she went only to observe ballots being counted, but she and her companions ended up locked inside the Hinds County Courthouse after entering around 2 a.m.
The Hinds County Sheriff's Office said late Thursday afternoon that it had completed an investigation of the incident and found no criminal wrongdoing.
The McDaniel campaign already has had to distance itself from supporters who have been indicted on charges that they illegally took photographs of Cochran's wife, Rose Cochran, who has dementia and has lived for many years in a Mississippi nursing home.

A year of tragedy and triumph
Posted on Dec 28th, 2012
The past year was some kind of ride — an emotional roller coaster, if you will.
The year brought the nation a presidential election and the barrage of campaign ads preceding it. It brought us a Summer Olympics and a contingent of American champions.
In Colorado, 2012 brought us a slew of wildfires that cost some people everything and filled the skies with smoke as far as you could see. The year brought us the Aurora theater massacre.
South Metro Denver residents shared in all of this in one way or another. But here, we also saw signs of a potentially booming economy as more and more developers and employers moved in. We saw a school district entangled in controversy. And we saw tragedies that hit on a smaller scale, but were equally heartbreaking to area communities.
What follows is a compilation of the South Metro area's top 10 stories of the year as chosen by the newsroom staff of Colorado Community Media. These are the stories we believe had the greatest impact on our readers in 2012. They are presented in no particular order. We'll let you, the reader, be the judge of the single biggest story of the year.
Projects, employers flock to area
Construction permits for commercial development jumped significantly while employers flocked to Douglas and Arapahoe counties in 2012.
Activity continued near Highlands Ranch's Town Center as Children's Hospital Colorado, the first hospital in the unincorporated enclave, broke ground in May 2012 and is set to open in December 2013. The expansion of the retail hub was further helped in 2012 by the construction of numerous restaurants and Les Schwab Tire Center, Starbucks and Sprint.
In neighboring Lone Tree, crews began construction on Cabela's at Interstate 25 and RidgeGate Parkway, and work continued farther north on the Kaiser Permanente medical campus on Park Meadows Drive. The southwest corner of Lincoln and I-25 had lots of movement, with Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites and the 281-unit Vue Apartments going up.
Across the highway, in the Meridian International Business Center, information technology company TriZetto built new offices, and work began on a building that will be occupied by Hitachi. Polystrand, a manufacturer of composite materials, also built a facility on the edge of Douglas and Arapahoe counties.
Construction began on a $41 million Centura Hospital in Castle Rock, and two senior housing facilities opened in the Parker area. In Englewood, nearly $50 million in building permits for new construction were issued this year, and a number of projects are scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2013.
In Littleton, a new CarMax was built and an Alzheimer's care center is under construction. Two car-lot expansions, a Health South rehab facility and a movie theater are also in the works.

Mourning a fallen officer
The South Metro area mourned the May 28 death of Jeremy Bitner, an Englewood police officer struck and killed by an alleged drunken driver.
Days later, law enforcement officers wore black bands on their badges, flags were flown at half staff in Bitner's honor and estimates are that a couple thousand people lined Hampden Avenue to pay their respects as a mile-long funeral procession passed by. It is believed that Bitner's death was the first of an Englewood officer in the line of duty.
Residents from Englewood and around the area rallied to help raise money for Bitner's wife and two young children. Efforts ranged from selling lemonade to a fundraising motorcycle ride.
One of the largest efforts was an event put together by the Englewood city government, businesses and residents that lasted all afternoon and raised several thousand dollars for the Bitner family, who live in Centennial.
The drunken-driving suspect, Conner Donohue, 20, was arrested on several charges, including vehicular homicide. In October, he pleaded not guilty to all charges. His trial is tentatively scheduled for April 2013.

Discord in Douglas County schools
The Douglas County School District met with repeated resistance and incited a string of controversy in 2012 as the board attempted to implement significant changes in education.
In March, the district opened its annual negotiations with the teachers' union to the public, an effort that ended with the expiration of the long-standing collective bargaining agreement.
Since then, the district has implemented a market-based pay program for its teachers, and begun implementation of a new pay-for-performance program. Both are controversial among teachers.
In August, a former teacher began a one-man protest in front of the district's administration building in Castle Rock. It grew into what has become a series of regular protests before school board meetings by those who oppose some board policies.
In November, the controversial voucher program had its second day in court, as attorneys for the school district and those who oppose the plan argued their points before the Colorado Court of Appeals. A decision is not expected until early 2013. A Denver District Court judge last year ruled that the program, which would allow DCSD students to use public funds toward tuition at private schools, is unconstitutional.

Aurora shootings left us all wounded
We awoke to horror July 20.
Cheerful thoughts of weekend plans quickly gave way to disbelief, shock and sorrow that Friday morning. From TV, radio, the Internet - everywhere you looked - the news came at us like a sledgehammer: Just after midnight, a gunman had opened fire at a movie theater in Aurora.
We would find out that 12 people were killed and nearly five dozen wounded. We would watch that weekend as police staked out and searched the apartment of the suspect they had in custody, James Holmes, fearing that the 24-year-old had booby-trapped his home. We would hear stories of heroism amid the terror.
Coloradans had been through this nightmare before, more than a decade earlier. After Columbine, as in the summer of 2012, talk arose about gun control, about security, about what lurks inside the hearts and minds of killers.
Then, as now, we learned more about healing than anything else.
– Chris Rotar
Coffman makes it back to Washington
This time, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman faced a test.
With Colorado's newly redrawn 6th District expected to be one of the most hotly contested congressional races of 2012, the Republican Coffman leaned heavily on those who elected him to his previous two terms. In November, Coffman defeated Democratic challenger Joe Miklosi by 4 percentage points.
Coffman collected 12,247 more votes than his challenger in Douglas County, while edging him by 884 votes in Adams County and losing Arapahoe County by 6,744.
The incumbent was viewed as an extremely vulnerable candidate after winning twice before in what had been a conservative safe-haven. Once the lines were redrawn, Elbert County and all of Douglas except Highlands Ranch were eliminated. The district added the remainder of Aurora, a heavily Democratic municipality.
Coffman, who was attacked repeatedly in ads by Miklosi, spent a fair amount of spring and summer on the hot seat for comments he made in May at an Elbert County Town Hall. It was then he called out President Barack Obama, saying, "I do know this, that in his heart, he's not an American. He's just not an American."

Communities face decisions on marijuana
With Colorado voters legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for those 21 and older in November, area cities and towns are grappling with whether or not to allow retail sales or commercial growth.
Residents of unincorporated Douglas County, like everyone else, can grow up to six plants in their homes and partake legally in private. However, they will have to head elsewhere to purchase their weed. On Dec. 18, the county became the first in the state to ban commercial facilities.
The county's municipalities are looking to do the same. The Town of Parker adopted a ban on commercial operations, effective Dec. 23, and councils for the Town of Castle Rock and City of Lone Tree are considering similar bans, which could go into effect in early 2013.
In Arapahoe County, Englewood has already passed an ordinance against commercial grow operations and shops, while Littleton, Centennial and the county are still figuring out which direction to go. Arapahoe County currently allows medical marijuana dispensaries, as do Englewood and Littleton.
— Ryan Boldrey
Caught up in `Missy mania'
A 17-year-old swimmer from Centennial captivated the nation this past summer. Missy Franklin won five medals, four of them gold, at the Olympics in London.
In August, hundreds of fans packed Centennial Center Park for a welcome-home ceremony for Franklin and all of Colorado's Olympians. But the hometown girl was the star of the show in what ended up being more like a big block party as "The Missile" danced her way to the podium to Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me, Maybe."
Gov. John Hickenlooper and Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon lauded Franklin, along with six additional Colorado athletes on their return from London. Team USA grabbed 104 medals. Nine of those were awarded to Coloradans.
"That makes about 8.69 percent of the total medal count going to Colorado," said Hickenlooper. "So I'd say we definitely outperformed the market substantially."
Franklin, a Regis Jesuit High School senior, will swim for the University of California at Berkeley next year.

Massive wildfire threatens from south
This past year was devastating to Colorado when it came to wildfires. For residents of southern Douglas County, one fire loomed most ominously, but ultimately spared the county's land and residents.
The first signs of smoke from the devastating Waldo Canyon Fire were reported on June 23, and by June 27, Douglas County officials ordered the pre-evacuation of residents in the southwest portion of the county, including residents in Larkspur and Perry Park.
Within days, Gov. John Hickenlooper issued an order to prohibit private fireworks displays and, by June 27, Douglas County Sheriff Dave Weaver canceled all professional Fourth of July fireworks displays in the county, joining communities in the metropolitan area and along the Front Range.
By July 10, when the fire was declared officially contained by fire officials, the blaze had reached 18,247 acres and damaged or destroyed 391 homes.

Sterling Ranch hits roadblock
Just when it looked like Sterling Ranch was ready to take off, it was dealt a surprise setback.
The planned development in the Chatfield Valley was approved by Douglas County commissioners in May 2011, with plans to develop 3,500 acres to create 12,000 homes.
Within weeks of the approval, the Chatfield Community Association filed a lawsuit to stop the development, in part because of the developer's plan to submit water adequacy at each plat or phase of development. In August 2012, a Douglas County district judge agreed with the association and reversed the county's decision.
District Court Judge Paul King ruled the proposal to establish water adequacy at each plat violated a state law that requires developers to prove their water supply at the rezoning stage for new construction.
"While land use and development is a matter of local concern, the adequacy of water for new developments is a matter of statewide concern," King ruled. "To this end our legislature mandated … that local government shall not approve an application for a development unless it determines that the applicant has established that the proposed water supply for the development is adequate."
In November 2012, King denied a request for reconsideration filed by developer Harold Smethhills, and on Dec. 19, Douglas County filed its promised appeal of King's ruling.

Slayings shake Littleton
Littleton can go years without a violent death. But in 2012, police found themselves investigating five homicides.
• Darin Ninneman stands accused of stabbing his mother to death. Their drug-fueled relationship apparently imploded.
• In what might have been Littleton's first gang murder, a shooting left Da Von Flores dead and a 17-year-0ld boy wounded. Police arrested Dion Rankin.
• Ken Germain, a 68-year-old mortgage lender with a spotty past, was shot to death. His business partner, Colin Collea, was found dead later that night, apparently a suicide.
• Police arrested Teddy Puente and an unidentified girl in the death of Walter Zucchetti. His body was discovered in his apartment. The coroner's office hasn't released autopsy results.
• Dylan Jones thought his uncle was an intruder and stabbed him to death. The district attorney declined to press charges.
Add a violent gas-station attack and two home invasions, and for many, 2012 was a year they would like to forget.

Police Scotland and blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan have joined forces to launch a pioneering programme which has the potential to save hundreds of lives.
The force will work in partnership with the charity to recruit officers to the national stem cell donor register and with hundreds of healthy young recruits joining every year, this could result in life-saving matches for blood cancer patients in Scotland and around the world.
It is the first time such an arrangement has taken place and as part of the ground-breaking scheme recruits will be given the opportunity to hear a presentation during their training at the Police Scotland College and will have the opportunity to join as a potential donor for someone in need of a life-saving transplant.
As many as 800 recruits can be trained in a year at the college, based at Tulliallan Castle in Kincardine, Fife and all will be invited to a donor registration event, which will also be open to serving officers who are visiting the college.
Potential donors should be aged from 16-30, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. The charity is particularly looking for more young men to join, as they are currently underrepresented on the register.
Constable Frazer McFadyen, 29, has first-hand experience of the life-saving difference stem cell donors can make. He joined the donor register in 2002, and helped set up a marrow student group at Stirling University to organise donor recruitment and awareness-raising events for Anthony Nolan.
As he was completing initial police training 10 years later he was selected as a match for someone with blood cancer.
He said: "The week that was scheduled for the transplant happened to be my passing-out parade from the Police College. I explained to everyone that the transplant was going on and they were really supportive and we made the timings work.
"Donating was easy, just like an extended blood donation. I had a visitor from Anthony Nolan who was really helpful, and the whole thing was an incredible experience."
Superintendent Chris Stones, from Police Scotland's training, leadership and development department at Police Scotland, said the force is fully behind the initiative.
He said: "Our recruits have always spent time and energy on supporting charitable work while they undertake their training and the opportunity to support Anthony Nolan was one we embraced. Having met with the Anthony Nolan team and spoken to those affected, my hope is that Police Scotland can make a difference to someone's life."
Henny Braund, chief executive of Anthony Nolan, also said that the charity is delighted with the scheme.
She said: "By joining the stem cell donor register, officers at Police Scotland have the potential to save the lives of people with blood cancer. This is an exciting opportunity to raise awareness of the stem cell donor register and make a massive difference to people with blood cancer in Scotland and beyond."

WATCH: 'Snitch' Director Ric Roman Waugh Loves The Idea Of 'The Rock' In A Real-World Drama
Ric Roman Waugh says his career as a Hollywood stuntman played a "huge" role in his transition to writer-director. "It gave me a sense of the narrative process," says the Snitch filmmaker. "I could come into a piece of material and then put my stamp on it narratively, but also construct it in a way that I know, production-wise, [will] make it completely organic and real.

Gonna get that one too .. I'm getting my game library all set up. I have a bunch of games yet to buy.
I have Borderlands 2 reserved and I hope they have clarified a few of the fuzzy details of the story. They delayed the release bc of COD MW3 (according to my local gamestop associate). So the wait continues...
mothrakk is way to hard
Borderlands was a lot of fun and one of the better games I played. Definitely going to try 2.
Ending feels like they just hit a release date and rushed it out, without really finishing it.
Overall it is a very good game, but the main issue is that if you do all the quests you will quickly outlevel all the enemies around you. If you have more than 4 levels on most enemies they will have a hard time hurting you. More than 6 or 7 they will have a hard time negatively affecting you at all. It just makes the game too easy if you're a completionist. That was the only major flaw other than the shitty ending. Hopefully they fix it in 2 (go with something like mass effect and most other RPGFPS games and have enemies level with you)
Also, the siren is probably the most powerful character, especially if you get the ability that her epic not only makes you invisible and gives you a damage bonus but also heals you. She can be almost unstoppable. Just being able to invis and run past or flank some harder parts is amazing.

Consensus Report
Science and Decisions: Advancing Risk Assessment (2009)Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Risk assessments evaluate potential adverse health effects posed by harmful chemicals found in the environment and inform a range of decisions from protecting air and water to ensuring food, drug, and consumer product safety. Unfortunately, the risk assessment process is bogged down by challenges to its timeliness and credibility, a lack of adequate resources, and disconnects between the available scientific data and the information needs of decision-makers. In light of these challenges, EPA asked the National Research Council to conduct an independent study on improvements that could be made to risk assessment. The report concludes that EPA's overall concept of risk assessment, which is based on the National Research Council's 1983 "Red Book," should be retained but that a number of significant improvements are needed to advance the use of risk assessment in decision making. Recommended changes include greater attention to planning and problem formulation, improved stakeholder involvement, and a better match of the level of detail needed in a risk assessment to the questions that should be addressed. The report also concludes that a unified approach to cancer and noncancer dose-response assessment is scientifically feasible and should be pursued.
Key Messages
- Addressing uncertainty and variability is critical for the risk-assessment process.
- Design of Risk Assessment should be reinforced by the up-front involvement of decision-makers, stakeholders, and risk assessors, who together can evaluate whether the design of the assessment will address the identified problems.
- Uncertainty is inherent in all stages of risk assessment, and EPA typically relies on assumptions when chemical-specific data are not available.
- A consistent approach to risk assessment for cancer and noncancer effects is scientifically feasible and needs to be implemented.
- Although cumulative risk assessment has been used in various contexts, there has been little consideration of nonchemical stressors, vulnerability, and background risk factors.
- Cumulative human health risk assessment should draw greater insights from ecologic risk assessment and social epidemiology, which have had to grapple with similar issues.
- Improving technical analysis entails the development and use of scientific knowledge and information to promote more accurate characterizations of risk.
- Improving utility entails making risk assessment more relevant to and useful for risk-management decisions. The committee proposes a framework for risk-based decision-making.
- There is a need for simplified risk-assessment tools (such as databases, software packages, and other modeling resources) that would allow screening-level risk assessments and could allow communities and stakeholders to conduct assessments and thus increase stakeholder participation.

LETTER: Karing Kitchen dedicated to community
Matthew 6:2 tells us "Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you." I believe that to be true, however, at times it is prudent to thank those who are the backbone of an organization.
Karing Kitchen takes a lot of work and dedication to operate and I would not be able to coordinate the program without the assistance of our community.
To my husband and family, always there to assist but willing to play second fiddle.
To the Food Bank of CNY, your commitment to ending hunger and insuring programs has the support needed to run.
To the many United Way volunteers and businesses supporting the United Way of Greater Oneida, without your contributions, so many community programs would be lost. You add to the quality of life in our community.
To the Feinstein Foundation, dedicated to the alleviation of hunger, who are willing to assist with combating hunger in our community.
To the Oneida Daily Dispatch, WMCR, and the Greater Oneida Chamber of Commerce for ensuring our community knows what is going on. To First United Methodist Church staff and congregation for welcoming Karing Kitchen and making our location transfer possible.
To the churches, individuals and civic organizations, your time is more valuable than you realize (over $20,000). Plymouth Alliance Church, 1st Presbyterian, Church of Latter Day Saints, St. Joseph's, St. Patrick's, Holy Family, St. Agatha's, St. Helena's, St. John's Episcopalian, Oneida Baptist, New Life Assembly of God, Cochran Memorial, St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Christ Methodist, St. Paul's United Methodist, Oneida Full Gospel, Church on the Rock, New Hope, CDA Court Our Lady 1250, Knights of Columbus, ZONTA, Z-Club, Rotary, Holy Cross Academy, St. Patrick's School, Oneida City School District, Foothills Girl Scouts, Troop 2, Pack 23, Connections, Community Action, Gorman Foundation, Mary Rose Clinic, United Cerebral Palsy, Community Car Wash, Kathy Ironside and her life skills class. To the many individuals, especially those who wish to never be named. What a wonderful community we have that is willing to reach out and give a helping hand, especially, knowing that requests for donations in our struggling economy can be difficult to fulfill. Yet, you all have come forward and continue to meet the need. Due to your generosity, Karing Kitchen remains open to all regardless of residence, age or income.
Karing Kitchen provided over 14,000 meals for the 2012 year, including meals for shut-ins. Over 1000 referrals were made to help individuals become more food secure (being able to provide food for their families). It has always been our goal to advocate, improve and enhance the quality of life to the hundreds of individuals and families we serve while trying to eradicate the stereotypes associated with those needing assistance.
Through your contributions you are helping to build a stronger and more prosperous community. Our program truly could not function without "karing" hearts like yours.
Thank you.

|Kosmology Dissonance
|Homegrown Sounds
|Price (MSRP)
|Type / Tags
|Kontakt InstrumentChaosMetallicSequencerSequencesSequencing
|System Requirements
Kontakt 5
Kosmology Dissonance for Kontakt 5 takes the Kosmology Sequencing System into darker regions compared to previous releases. There are 200 wild, boisterous and clangy samples to discover crazy loops whilst Wave/Sample Start Sequencing. This collection is perfect for creating endless unique loops for use in all genres of Electronic Music.
If you are new to Kosmology you can get FreeFall for free from here to experience Sequencing Heaven.
Although Kosmology is not really about presets considering how easy and fun it is to make your own, there are 50 Presets included and of course presets from other Kosmology Releases can also be opened.
These Videos are using Kosmology Awakenings, but if you are new to it they give a good idea of what the Sequencer does:
Playing with Presets Video | Preset from Scratch Video | Walkthrough 1 Video | Walkthrough 2 Video | Walkthrough 3 Video
Kosmology - The Script
Kosmology is inspired by Modular based sequencers with the aim of providing 8 completely distinct multi-sequencers which can be switched in real-time using 8 keys on your MIDI Keyboard. A Kosmology release includes the Sequencing Capabilities combined with a set of 200 multi-sampled instruments which form the basis of it's character. It mimics a classic dual oscillator synth structure in it's design with complete control over all parameters, and is also capable of Wave sequencing the Instruments. Although Kontakt is known more as a Sample Preset Plugin, Kosmology is akin to a hardware Groovebox with onboard sounds to sequence and manipulate in almost infinite ways.
Each of these 8 sequencers are known as instances and are made up of pitch, velocity and 5 freely assignable sequencers from a large list of destinations. Each Instance also has complete control over the 48 parameters which shape the sound, such as Filters, Envelopes, LFOs and FX, each instance can be a slight variation or radically different depending on how you want to use it. Each sub sequence has it's own step size and can be set to follow the main tempo division or use it's own for great Syncopation capabilities, and it is also polyphonic with each sequence retriggering when it is played and so good for complex polyrythms.
A lot of work has gone into making the workflow intuitive and quick, with copy & paste for the sequencers, and the current instance can be easily copied to another instance or to All Instances simultaneously with a single click. The latter is great for working on a base sequence and then when you are happy, copy to all and then work on variations. There are also Randomizers everywhere for quickly finding unexpected gems, in fact Kosmology excels at creating the unexpected via this method, but also provides ease when you know what you want to create. The creative possibilities are endless.
If you enjoy Performance Sequencers, you would be hard pushed to find a software system this flexible and fun.
Wave Sequencing
The Golden Crown of Kosmology is undoubtedly the fact that it can perform Wave Sequencing which means that you can assign a sequencer to select the currently playing instruments from all the included Sampled instruments. Both Synth A and B can be targeted individually which leads to instant satisfaction, creating an original sounding sequence can be as easy as selecting Wave A/B in a sequencer and hitting the Random Button.
There is also a Globals section which allows affecting 25 Parameters at the global Level, which can be automated in the host. These Parameters can add or remove from the current values, so as an example you could have a complex MIDI track in your DAW which switches between sequences rapidly and then automate a slow movement on the Cutoff Global which will open and close the filer regardless of which sequence is playing.
Kosmology Key Features:
- V1.2 Adds the Metropolis Script - This is basically Kosmology without the Sequencers so that 8 distinct Instruments can be created and switched in real-time.
- v 1.1 Adds Kosmology Single which uses a single synth as opposed to Dual.
- 8 Instances that can be switched on the fly via MIDI. each Instance has:
- control over 48 Distinct Parameters which include Cutoff, Resonance, Filter and Amp Envelopes Envelopes (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release), Filter Envelope Amounts, Octave, Various A/B Tune options, FX Sends plus more.
- Pitch Sequencer - Offsets the root note by -+12 semitones and can Tie notes and mute them.
- Velocity Sequencer - Velocity in turn can be assigned to both Volume and/or the Filter Cutoff.
- 5 assignable Sequencers - each of these sequencers can target any of the 46 available Destinations and can like the other synth parameters can be completely different for each of the 8 instances.
- All sequencers have independent Clock Divisions
- All sequencers have an independent Step Size (maximum 64 steps) which is great for Syncopation.
- Dual Synth Architecture - each synth has its own waveform (sampled Instrument), Filter Type, Pan, Tune and Envelope Depth.
- FX Engine:
- Convolution Reverb -Uses Kontakt's Convolution engine with a selection of 50 unique Impulse Responses.
- Standard Reverb - Also includes the older Kontakt Reverb which can work well in conjunction with the Convolver.
- Tempo Delay -Stereo Ping Pong Delay with adjustable tempo based times.
- Modulator - Has a choice between Flanger, Phaser or Chorus with adjustable LFO Frequency.
- Echo - Can be used as a Comb effect (think Sabres of Paradise) or as a short non tempo delay.
- Compressor
- Saturation
- 2 tempo synched LFOs - LFO1 has a selection of 20 shapes, and can target Cutoff and Volume individually for both synths A and B, and Pitch B. LFO 2 is dedicated to the main Cutoff and locked to a RAMP shape and is great for the classic Rhythmic Sound.
- Wave Sequencing – it is possible to target both synth destinations independently to switch waveforms on a step by step basis which leads to extremely sophisticated Sequences with very little effort.
- Integrated Preset Browser and ability to save Presets and Templates.
- Rescalers – Force notes to a Scale for each Note of the Octave.
- Randomizers – You can randomize everywhere.
- Large Screen editor – Allows working on the Pitch plus any other sequencer for easy Editing when needed.
- 15 Timing Based Triggers for Live Manipulation including Freeze Pitch, Freeze Waveforms, Half Step, Double Step, Mute, Reverse, Max Note Length, Min Note Length plus more.
- 25 Global Parameters for Automating across all Instances or radically transforming a Preset on the fly.
- 3 Mod Triggers - You can offset up to 9 Parameters for each of these triggers for an instant remix via the assigned MIDI Keys.
- -+1 Octave Triggers
- Easy and Intuitive Workflow
- Download Size - 367 MB.
- Minimum Requirements - Native Instruments Kontakt 5.3 Full Version (will only work in Kontakt player for 15 minutes).

To succeed in binary options trading, a trader should have the right combination of investment, time, and effort. If a trader lacks in any of the aforementioned requirements, then generating revenue from binary options trading would only remain a mere ambition, rather than an achievable reality. Fortunately, the advent of technology and the availability of exceptional traders with programming skills has allowed the evolution and development of automated trading software, or "Binary Options Robots" – as they are more commonly known.
A good Binary Options Robot will perform the complex task of identifying trading opportunities, determining the investment amount, and placing orders – all based on simple settings via an user-friendly interface. We've explored the world of automated binary trading to review and recommend those robots with exceptional performance, where you can safely trade, and (hopefully!) generate consistent profit as a binary options investor.
Principle Behind a Binary Trading Robot
In simplest terms, a binary trading robot replaces a human being in making decisions related to trading. A "Robot" is merely the name given to a software program which performs a trade (buy or sell) when a number of user-defined conditions are met. The number of conditions can theoretically range from one to infinity. Correspondingly, depending on the complexity, the software may consist of a few lines to several hundred lines of coding.
When the conditions pertaining to a buy or sell trade are met, the robot triggers the corresponding order through the website of a connected binary broker. The order is then placed after considering restrictions, if any, put forth by the trader. The restrictions may include, but not limited to; expiry time, the maximum amount that can be invested in a trade, total number of trades that can be simultaneously placed, which assets are to be traded or discarded, etc.
Choosing a Binary Trading Robot
It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the many robots offered as numerous websites now offer automated trading. However, automated trading is not actually easy. It takes several months to build a robot which can generate consistent returns, and there are numerous variable to consider. For example, a robot that performs exceptionally in a bull market, may start losing in a bear market and vice-versa. Therefore, it crucial that you use a robot that was adequately back and forward tested in numerous scenarios. Back Testing is the process of testing the program based on past historical data, while Forward Testing or paper trading is the process of validating the trading logic in a live market without the actual use of money at an integrated broker.
TradersAsset Tip – Ensure that the binary option robot you are considering using has existed for a reasonable period of time. This means that the robot has withstood the test of time. BinaryOptionsRobot (our top choice above), is a classic example of this.
How to Trade Using a Robot
Once a funded real account is opened with a binary broker through any of the reputed and popular automated binary option robots related websites discussed above, a trader should arrive at the optimum settings in the following manner.
Pick the asset you wish to trade.
Pick a suitable indicator. Always remember that MACD will indicate both momentum and trend. CCI (Commodity Channel Index) is used for trading commodities. RSI, Stochastic and Williams%R are momentum oscillators. So, as you can understand, there is no point in selecting RSI and stochastic. Either you have to select MACD and RSI or MACD and stochastic indicator. Similarly, in the case of commodities, CCI and MACD or CCI and RSI will match very well.
Try placing smallest possible trades using a combination of indicator(s) and the strategy. Begin with a conservative classic strategy. Avoid martingale. In a volatile market, a trader with martingale strategy is likely to lose his entire investment in no time.
Allow the robot to trade using different sessions (Asian, European, and US session). Validate the results. Change the indicator and/or strategy and test again using the smallest possible amount. Concentrate on one or two assets at a time. Once you start getting highly consistent results, note the indicator, strategy and trading session.
Increase the volume slowly. Once the robot starts accumulating profits, add few more assets and follow the same procedure discussed above to arrive at the best possible indicator/strategy combination.
Build volume and withdraw profits regularly.
The undeniable advantage of automated trading is that a robot is not prone to emotion. When volatility increases, even the most seasoned trader can make mistakes. Another benefit to robot trading is the absence of fatigue. As time passes, human beings can lose concentration due to a dip in energy levels – again resulting in an increased likelihood of making costly mistakes.
As outlined above, if you prepare, test and pre-define settings correctly, a trader can profitably entrust the job of binary trading to a robot.

Public relations wiz Jonathan Jaxson has responded to the treatment we gave his email pitch yesterday. First, he called us "Assholes!" in a tweet he has since taken down. Later, he sent me this email, presented here in its entirety:
The posting made on your websitedeadspin.com is unbelievable in many aspects, in particular the unprofessionalism!
I have MANY unkind things I would like to say, but I would rather be the better man and only say that it's quite obvious...that your not only jealous but extremely unhappy in your personal life.
And I actually presumed your company had an ounce of professionalism! But then again every post I read is filled with such disgust, who reads it anyway?
Get a grip and obviously a life!!!
We felt bad, so we're again publishing one of the photos he sent, with minimal cropping.

Alex Ovechkin has been hanging out in London for the Olympics, spending time watching his girlfriend Maria Kirilenko compete in tennis for Team Russia and trying to work out a bit on the side.
Oh, he's also Tweeting his experiences from his @ovi8 account. And one picture in particular caught the eyes of his followers -- a picture of him and Kirilenko ... and a very nice ring on her finger.
So Alex, what's up with that?
"No, not engaged," Ovechkin told NBC4's Dan Hellie. "Some fan put on Twitter, 'Are you guys engaged?' It's not an engagement ring."
OK, so there's no current engagement, but is that coming soon?
"Well, we'll see how it goes," Ovechkin said with a smile.
- Watch The Complete Interview:
- Ovi on Engagement, Olympics
- Ovi on Working Out in London
- Ovi on Semin's Exit, New Coach
- Ovi on Playing in Sochi
Ovechkin has been attending Kirilenko's singles and doubles matches, and he now realizes it's a lot harder to be a fan than he initially thought.
"My family watches me and they explain to me that they get nervous," Ovechkin said. "And I'm like, 'Geez, why are you nervous? It's simple.' Right now I'm watching her play and I get nervous. ... I never watched tennis before I met her, but it's cool and it's an exciting time for me right now."
Ovi brought his fitness trainer with him to London so he can stay in shape. He said he gets up early every morning and goes to the gym. And afterward, London residents and tourists alike might see him running back home.
"I run in the park," he said. "Today I ran from this place where I work out to the place where I live."
Ovechkin's working out now for next season, but there's no guarantee there will be a next season. The NHL is in the middle of negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement with the NHL Players' Association. If things don't go well, that could lead to a lockout.
"This kind of situation is our future, and we have to be together, and we have to think very serious about it," said Ovechkin, who has already attended one labor negotiation meeting. "Nobody wants to be in that position, but if there's going to be a lockout, there's going to be a lockout. No doubt."
One of the possible sticking points on a new CBA is the players' participation in the Olympics. In order to play, the league basically has to shut down for several weeks in the middle of the season. And there is always the threat of injury to some of the NHL's top stars, which could affect a team's run for the Stanley Cup.
But the 2014 Games will be in Sochi. Ovechkin does not want to miss the chance to play in front of his Russian fans.
When asked if he was going to play, his answer was simple: "Yeah."
"What are they going to do if I'm going?" Ovechkin said and laughed.
Ovechkin said he doesn't want to miss out on the Olympic experience in his home country.
"Look at it here," Ovechkin said as his eyes turned to London. "It's unbelieveable. All the world is talking about it. How can they tell us, 'Hey, you can't play for your country.' I don't think it's the right decision for anybody."
There's a good chance Team Russia will be able to reunite Ovechkin with his former teammate, Alex Semin, who just signed with Carolina after a long stint with the Capitals. Ovechkin said he talked with Semin after the World Championships and had a feeling his sometimes linemate would be moving on.
"It was a fun time to play with him," Ovechkin said. "But it's a business. Unfortunately he's gone. But right now it's time to move on. We're not going to cry. Of course I'm sad I lost my boy and great teammate and great player."
Ovechkin also has (another) new coach this coming season. Adam Oates has been hired to replace Dale Hunter. Hunter and Ovechkin didn't quite see eye to eye on playing styles. Hunter was defense first. Ovechkin is quite the opposite.
Ovechkin said he hasn't had much time to talk philosophy with Oates yet, but he's looking forward to trying out his system.
"It's good for us," Ovechkin said. "We are a more offensive team than defensive team. For me, I don't want to say anything bad about Dale -- great person, great coach -- but maybe different people were pretty excited to have him, but I just did my job and play when he told me to play."

Cell Phone Ordinances
AUSTIN, January 28, 2015 - One in five crashes involves driver distraction. Drivers who use cell phones in their vehicles have a higher risk of collision than drivers who don't, whether holding the phone or using a hands-free device.
Although Texas has no statewide law banning the use of cell phones while driving for all drivers, many local areas prohibit or limit the use of cell phones while driving. Specific limitations are listed below.
We urge you to drive now and talk later. If you must make a phone call, pull over. Otherwise, wait until you reach your destination to use the phone.
Cell Phone Prohibitions
Fines and Cell Phone Ordinance Types
Fines range from $200 to $500.
There are three types of cell phone ordinances:
Nearly 40 cities have adopted ordinances since November 2009, when Austin became the first city to enact a citywide ban on texting while driving.

Soooo OMG this is definitely something EVERY self respecting adult that plays Angry Birds needs on their nightstand. I'm serious. LOL! What kind of fun is this right? You can charge your iDevice, it's a 2.1 Speaker (yes I said 2.1 that means subwoofer, right and left channel speakers), comes with a remote control, power adapters for the US, EU and UK, and a sticker to put anywhere you want! (I suggest on the back of your iPad). This is one of the best iDock Speakers I've seen for the price point and fun value.
The specs go like this:
|iPod touch 1G/2G/3G/4G; iPod nano 1G/2G/3G/4G/5G; iPod classic; iPod with video; iPod with color display; iPod mini; iPhone, iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S
|3.1 lb / 1400 g
It is cute, sounds pretty good for a helmet pig speaker and it's cheap (you can get them online for like 70 bucks).
I give this Angry Birds Helmet Pig Speaker a 5 out of 5 it's awesome. There are also a few other speakers to choose from although we didn't have a chance to play with those.

Voltron is one of those '80s series like Robotech and Battle of the Planets/G-Force that was adapted from a differently titled Japanese production and, in some way, fundamentally altered to be more family friendly and appealing to the masses of Saturday morning cartoon-watching kids in the United States. Today, such an act would be met with the full ire of the internet, the anime fandom shouting their lungs out in horrified and virulent messages on boards and via e-mails across the web, decrying these alterations from the pristine Japanese originals. Back then, though, the shows were fun to watch and developed a dedicated fandom, which holds them aloft today. You rarely hear anyone mention GoLion, no? It's always Voltron, which was popular enough in the West that it not only saw the typical DVD rerelease, but an entirely new series (ongoing) produced by an American studio.
Voltron: Defender of the Universe has nothing to do with this latest addition to the mythology. Maybe it's intended as a primer for kids who are enamored with the new animation but lack a solid background in the original tales that precede it. If such is the case, it fails spectacularly; its twelve short levels tell a fractured and fragmented version of the story in between-level cutscenes (all ripped from the original animation). It all suffers from a complete dearth of context, disjointed transitions, and a lack of explanation as to just what each mission is actually intended to accomplish for the Voltron Force. It's an incomprehensible mess, which leaves players with absolutely no understanding of Voltron's past or investment in the amalgam robot's future journeys. So, it doesn't do well at telling its story, but it's a downloadable title set over only twelve levels, and probably couldn't hope to cover the entirety of the original series effectively. Does it at least play well?
No. It doesn't play well at all.
Well, that's not entirely true. It has a couple of redeeming gameplay touches, but they're in the vast minority. One of these is the momentum with which the Lions control. This is a twin-stick shooter, but your vehicles are quadrupeds, bounding through their environments. Appropriately, they can't turn on a dime, sudden shifts in direction causing their hindquarters to satisfyingly swing around their planted forelegs as they skid to a halt before bolting off on their new headings. As we've seen in shooters such as Renegade Ops, this fusion of satisfying momentum and hectic, twin-stick action can be employed to extremely positive effect.
Where Voltron goes wrong, though, is in every other aspect of its core gameplay. One of the keys in Renegade Ops was hectic action, which Voltron lacks early on. The starting levels are dull and lifeless, with most enemies dwarfed by the mecha you control. They go down quickly and easily, rarely presenting any credible threat. Later on, however, it becomes perfectly clear why the developers were reluctant to kick things up a notch; by the end, the game is throwing projectiles at you in bullet-hell densities, but your ungainly vehicles are too busy swinging their hips to dodge between or even around the blasts. It becomes a frustrating task of running in a circle, trying not to be on whichever side of a takes-too-long-to-die enemy this multitude of deadly energy orbs/mines/missiles decides to spawn on.
This is exacerbated by a game engine that, as low-res and low detail as it appears to be, barely chugs along. At first, I thought the slowdown was intentional, to accurately convey the feel of piloting one of these powerful and massive lion mecha. Then I hit a rare moment of clarity, with no geometry more complex than a flat plain and the lion onscreen. The framerate kicked up and the controls became infinitely more responsive for the only three seconds when it didn't matter. Further, while we're on the look of the game, nothing you destroy ever dies or explodes in any kind of satisfying or visceral way. It feels like tearing through a bunch of papier-mâché, minus the tactile fulfillment. That extends to the fact that the game, despite its annoying mechanics, is pretty easy. Extra lives are only a few star shards away, and survivor mode kicks in if your health is depleted, allowing you a chance to re-enter your lion after it starts back up, assuming you can avoid your foes in the interim.
The second shining star within Voltron's black void is, ironically, space. The game is ostensibly divided into three parts: ground, space, and Voltron combat. Ground combat has already been detailed and Voltron segments are a whole 'nother can of worms, but space sections are actually a good bit of fun. They control like a vertical scrolling shooter, but the player can shoot in any direction. Here, the action flows smoothly, with no slowdown and a better sense of destruction, more interesting enemy patterns, and responsive controls that allow you to actually dodge between projectiles instead of just around them. It's nothing spectacular, but it's a competent effort. In fact, it feels as though this is where the bulk of development went, and only later did the producers realize that not that much of Voltron takes place in space and they'd have to do some stuff on the ground as well. Or they just ran out of ideas.
I doubt it's the latter, though, because there are only two space levels in the entire game. Two out of twelve. There are also three Voltron levels, which means that over half of the game—a whopping seven levels—is devoted to unsatisfying ground action, fighting the same few enemy designs over and over again, recolored to fit your locale of choice.

Carroll Catholic students mark 100th day of class
with a celebration
Album 3
on photos below to enlarge.]
[February 07, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
The kindergarten class had a
special project that involved counting to 10, 10 times.
Each child was given a piece
of paper with 10 boxes drawn on it. They then had 10
treats set out on their table. Each child was to count out 10
pieces of each treat and put it in a box on their paper. When
they were done, they would have 100 treats. Mrs. Hanson and her
aide then poured the treats into baggies to be opened in the afternoon
during a special movie time.
Of course, before the children
began handling their treats, each one had to wash their hands for
food safety!

Author Helen Thorpe to be honored by Denver School of the Arts Friends Foundation
Denver author Helen Thorpe will be honored when the Denver School of the Arts Friends Foundation hosts its Fall Gala on Sept. 28.
Thorpe is being honored for using the arts to inspire others. Her best-selling book, "Just Like Us," is the basis for a play by the same name that will have its world premiere next month at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. She is also the first to be so honored by the Friends Foundation.
The announcement was made when 100 leaders from Colorado's arts community gathered at the Denver home of U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and his wife, Susan Daggett.
An unexpected rainstorm caused what had been planned as a lawn party to take place inside the Bennet/Daggett home.
There, foundation president Janet Meredith thanked everyone for coming and announced that the gala would begin with a tea party reception and art extravaganza and conclude with a performance of the all-school musical, "Beauty and the Beast."
Festivities will be at Denver School of the Arts, 7111 E. Montview Blvd., with tickets starting at $150. Reservations can be made online or by calling 303-249-3123.
Daggett, a DSA Friends Foundation board member, said Thorpe's award is part of the foundation's new effort to expand relationships and interactions between DSA and the community. These include working with arts administrators to increase programs and opportunities for schools in low-income neighborhoods.
Those attending the kickoff reception included DSA principal Bill Kohut; Denver Art Museum director Christoph Heinrich; director of the Denver Art Museum; Greg Carpenter, Opera Colorado's general director; Denver Center for the Performing Arts president Randy Weeks;and state film commissioner Donald Zuckerman.
Also, Chip Walton, producing artistic director of Curious Theatre Company; Jeremy Simons, a member of the Wonderbound Dance Company board; Dr. Chris Ott, interim chief medical officer at St. Anthony Hospital and a member of the Colorado Symphony board; Chris Page and Mary Hart from Cleo Parker Robinson Dance; Sheila Bisenius and Don Bain, past chair of the Colorado Republican Party; Walt DeHaven, vice president and general manager of CBS4; and philanthropists Martha Records and Tina Walls.
And, Raydean Acevedo, a member of the Colorado Ballet board; Deb DeSantis from the Colorado Children's Chorale; and DSA Friends Foundation board members David Posner, Chris Wineman, Gully Stanford, Meg Schomp, Sue Gonzales, Cindy Abramson, Mike Johnson, Ann Logan, Dave Hammond and Andrea Wiseman.
