Do you have a one-sentence summary of your story?
Here is what Randy Ingermanson says about them:
From Randy Ingermanson:
Here is my one-sentence summary of THE HUNGER GAMES:
"A 16-year-old girl volunteers to take her sister's
place in an arena where twenty-four teens will battle
each other to the death."
That's 25 words, which I consider the upper limit for a
one-sentence summary. I prefer to see a one-sentence
summary in the range of 10 to 15 words.
The goal is to tell the main idea of the novel in as
few words as possible. Shorter is always better, if it
captures the story.
The shortest one-sentence summary I've ever seen is the
summary for my friend Tosca Lee's forthcoming novel
ISCARIOT. Here it is: "Judas".
That's one word and it tells you everything you need to
know about Tosca's book.
The purpose of a one-sentence summary is to tell people
whether they're interested or not. That's all.
Notice that I didn't say that the purpose of the
one-sentence summary is to sell your book. That would
be crazy. Most people are not in the target audience
for your book. If they're not in your target audience,
they probably won't like it, and there's no reason you
should want them to buy it.
You want a one-sentence summary that immediately gives
the hearer enough information to know whether they're
in your target audience or not.
Here is mine:
No one wants to be friends with 17 year-old Angelica because they might die, like the nine before.
What about yours? Tell me in the comments!

For almost 100 years, Olive Thomas' final resting place—a mausoleum at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx—has sat untouched while nature has taken its course. Until now.
Last year, under the guidance of resident craftsman Rob Cappiello, a group of interns participated in a stone conservation program established in connection with the World Monuments Fund and the International Masonry Institute, working on the restoration of a series of small mausoleums at Woodlawn. One of those was Olive's. Yesterday, I went up to Woodlawn and met with Cappiello and Woodlawn's membership manager, Anastasija Ocheretina, to talk about the work that was done and to see the results in person. As you can tell from the photos below, they made a world of difference.
The photo on the left is from a few years ago. The photo on the right was taken yesterday. Photos by Michele.
Before and after photos. Photos by Michele.
The mausoleum was picked for the project because of the type of dirt on it, the configuration of the mortar joints, and the stone that was used for its construction. "It's a very hard stone so you can't do much damage," said Cappiello "It was a simple monument for them [the interns] to work on. Now they're getting more fancy, working on curved cornices and such."
Working on the mausoleum had an effect on at least one of the workers. "We worked on so many buildings in the city, like the Waldorf Astoria, that all have a story that we never really get to know. We just go there and do the work," said Cappiello "Over here, when Susan [Susan Olsen, the director of Historical Services at Woodlawn] started telling me about Olive, I went online and couldn't stop reading about her. She got me; I'm a fan."
Even with all of Cappiello and his crew's hard work, there's still more that needs to be done like the door, which needs to be refinished and protected and the glass cleaned. Some plans are being hatched to see the second phase of restoration completed. To keep up-to-date on the progress, follow me on Twitter at @madcapheiress25 where I will tweet any new developments and Instagram at @madcapheiress25 for photos.

This is going to be my last lesson for the day. I know you guys have been enjoying tutorials from some very talented artists lately and I want to thank all of you that has contributed tutorials to Dragoart for others to learn from. It's nice to see the different skills and talents from other artistic individuals that have their own styles or ways to teach others how to draw. Because of this, I can work on improving Dragoart to make the site more user friendly. Today I will be showing you "how to draw a feather tattoo", step by step. I have seen this type of design recently and was inspired to make one of my own. Traditionally the feather is supposed to be black and from a raven. The small pieces of feathers break from the side and turn into birds the further they get from their root. I chose to go with a white wispy design because darkness is all around us so I wanted to shed some light on us all. I think you will enjoy this lesson because it's different and very pretty. See ya later alligators, I will be back tomorrow with more for ya'll, Peace.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Post subject: Damper Modeling
Just a little idea on the plans for our damper design. I have been working on figuring out characteristic curves for different suspensions. I have a spreadsheet that makes it easy to calculate what amount of damping is needed based on car specifications. This makes it easy to adjust for the same car with different corner weights or unsprung weights. This allows for calculations of ideal curves for each specific car. And will let me design the best damper for each car.
I have also been working on a Simulink model with another guy from the formula team that allows the input of data from the spreadsheet calculations. Then accelerations and road profile data is added to the model and the behavior of the sprung and unsprung mass based on the suspension specifications can be examined.
Once the ideal damper has been designed using these models and the intent of the car, a real damper will be assembled. I have not yet decided on what pieces I have will be using. But I will most likely start off with a simple Bilstein take apart damper. I am also looking into other damper manufacturers to provide the parts that I need. Once I have acquired the necessary pieces, the damper will be put together and dyno tested. I am planning on purchasing a Roehrig shock dyno so I can test each damper built in house. I will use the data from the testing in the Simulink model to verify correct operation.
Once this has been done and all 4 dampers have been built, they will be tested on the car. This will verify the model and make sure that everything that was designed is right. Hopefully, I will be able to acquire a data acq system to quantitatively measure the performance of the damper. This testing is mainly for the verification of the model. Once that has proven correct for a given car, the specs on the car can be changed and the damper can be designed with the new specs and it will perform as intended.
These models and testing will be used in the design of each damper for each car. The different specs will be set based on the intended use of the damper. This model will also be used to select spring rates for each car. This plan leaves incredible amounts of freedom when designing a suspension for each car.
I hope that this design and analysis will be worth it when these spring/damper systems are built. They will perform as specified. They will most likely start as non-adjustable at a market competitive price. With options for rebound and compression adjustment at a higher price. I also hope to compare my design with the design of many of the other manufacturers offerings.
Any feedback on this plan would be greatly appreciate it. I mean there's no reason to do this without having people that would be interested in purchasing these systems.
More details on actual offerings will be put in the products section.

I've been really busy the past couple months and haven't had time to get started on this stuff in the past month or so. I have worked out the numbers for the MA70 supra coilovers and the parts for the shocks have been ordered. They should be here in the next week and then they will get built and dynoed. I hope to have them on the car shortly after. I will post more updates once the parts arrive and I get a chance to build and test them.
I am also making progress with the JZA80 Supra kit, I'm just need to take a couple more measurements and get the car on the scales. But it will be very similar to the MA70 kit.
I still need to take some more measurements for the S13 kit and design the front strut mounts. The design will most likely be an inverted strut in the front.
More updates will follow shortly, hopefully.

Another update. Things have been going well with the Supra dampers. I have had them on the dyno several times in an effort to get the curves that I want. Unfortunately, the shims that I got with the Bilstein package are not stiff enough for what I want to run. I have different shims on order and they should be here at the beginning of next week. Once they get here, I have no doubt that the damping will be finalized and everything will almost be ready to go.
I'm still working on the design of the upper mounts. I had originially hoped that using modified stock upper mounts would work out, but now I'm leaning towards something custom. The new mounts would utilize the bearings already on the dampers. They will also make the removal of the damper for tuning adjustments very quick and easy.
Spring are an issue I'm still not 100% finalized on. As of now, I will be using 8" hypercoils with helper springs. The helper springs may not be necessary down the road, but for now, I need them to make sure that we are able to get the car at the desired ride height. In the future another method for achieving this may present itself, but for now I feel comfortable with this way.
Once this stuff is finished, the system will be on the car and tested.
I also wanted to add that I have been uploading pics of some of the work into the gallery.

I'm interested in a 4-way adustable S13 kit for track (road race) use only (slicks). Is there anything I could be doing to help ease Your R&D process in the future?...
I had planned on reverse engineering the S13 suspension geometry but have decided to use those resources on something more "interesting"... If there is enough interest (in going
faster than stock in an S13), I could be persuaded to follow up on those initial intentions...
Time trials anyone?...

4-way adjustable would be nice, but it starts to get expensive. With how things have been progressing on my end, I am looking at a base non-adjustable setup, a rebound adjustable setup and then a 2-way and a 3-way adjustable setup. I have a lot of experience with the non-adjustable valving from my work on the supra dampers. But Bilstein also makes an adjustable shaft that I have yet to have the pleasure of messing around with. And then Penske makes some very nice compression adjusters that can easily be fitted in place of the schrader valve on the dampers I'm building. So the only thing you wouldn't have would be high speed rebound which for the most part, you won't need to touch as long as the base valving is good.
As for reverse engineering the S13 suspension. It would be nice if someone could get a points list for everything. But that's a ton of work and probably not worth it in the long run. Many things can be measured that will give you a good idea on how the suspension behaves which is usually more than enough. But what's this more "interesting" project you're working on now?
I will be doing time trials next year, mainly in the form of hill climbs. And then doing whatever track events I can get the car to. And of course some drifting because it's fun and that's where a lot of my market comes from.

SKF Engineering Consultancy Services helps oil and gas producer design for optimal service life
The challenge
A major oil and gas producer began a multi-year development project to produce from reserves located several thousand meters below the sea. As the cost of bringing equipment up from the sea floor for repairs would exceed $1 million per event, the producer sought to achieve increased service life through optimized design. The engineering team identified the traditional pump and motor bearings as one of the run-limiting components.
The SKF solution
Drawing on our long experience in advanced simulation of rotating equipment, SKF engineering consultants modelled the application in our proprietary software. Using the model, SKF simulated the use of various materials for the bearing rolling elements, cages and races.
The result
Using various high-end materials for the rolling elements, matched with special alloy steels for the races, SKF was able to configure a bearing assembly that would achieve a maximized operating interval in the demanding conditions. By simulating the application and the operating parameters provided by the oil and gas producer, SKF helped give the company confidence that the new bearing design would meet or exceed the required service life.

I was always told that Aloysius McElwee was related to me (he's my 1st cousin twice removed). I knew from his tombstone that he was a Brigadier General in the Army. His obituary was still incredibly awe-inspiring. It also helped connect one other link. My sister's childhood friend was a Sherrock and we knew we were related to a Sherrock, but didn't know how.
I was very impressed when I read about his education as well as his military service. He was obviously a very respected clergyman and I know looking back at other relatives' obituaries that having him preside at their funeral or a loved one's funeral must have been special indeed. I wish I had a picture of him.
It's a bit sad. I lived in Hazleton up until October 1990 and never knew him. Never met him. Wilkes-Barre is a neighboring town and I lived in his hometown.
"Monsignor McElwee dies, served church for 50 years
Monsignor Aloysius J. McElwee, 76, pastor emeritus of St. Patrick's Church, in Wilkes-Barre, and a native of Hazleton, died Tuesday afternoon after being ill.
McElwee, son of the late Owen and Bridget (Brown) McElwee, was born in Hazleton on Oct. 26, 1913. He attended St. Gabriel's grade school and Hazleton High School.
Msgr. McElwee was also a graduate of St. Bonaventure University, Olean, N.Y., and St. Mary's Seminary. He did graduate work at George Washington University.
He took his preparation for the priesthood at the Collegio Brignole Sale Negroni, Genoa, Italy, and was ordained by the Most Rev. Francesco Canessa, D.D., in Genoa on May 18, 1940.
|Hazleton Standard Speaker, 17OCT1990
In August of 1944, Msgr. McElwee was released from the Diocese of Scranton by the late Bishop William J. Hafey for active service in the Chaplains Corps of the U.S. Army. In December of that year went to the Pacific Theater with the 13th Tactical Division from Fort Jackson, S.C. He participated in invasions of Leyte in the Philippines, the Ryukyu Islands, Okinawa, and Ie Shima.
In 1947, he was assigned to Nanking, China, as chaplain of the Joint U.S. Military Advisory Group. In 1949, he was assigned to the Eighth U.S. Army in Japan and late to the headquarters of the Yokohama Command.
In 1950, he was stationed at Fort Jay, N.Y., and Fort Benning, Ga., with the Eighth Infantry Regiment, the Fourth Infantry Division, and accompanied this unit to West Germany. After three years in West Germany, he was assigned to Fort Devens, Mass., where he remained from 1954 to 1958. While at Fort Devens, he attended the Command and General Staff College.
After serving at Fort Devens, McElwee was appointed director of plans and operations at headquarters of the USAREUR.
In 1962, he was appointed Deputy Army Chaplain of the Second U.S. Army at Fort Meade, Md. Later, he was appointed to the office of the chief of chaplains as director of plans, programs, and policies and remained there until 1966 when he was appointed command chaplain in Europe. He also served as vicar delegate in Europe of the Military Ordinariate. He was then appointed post chaplain at Fort Meade and command chaplain, in 1970, USARPAC.
In 1971, he was promoted to brigadier general and appointed deputy chief of Army chaplains and continued in this office until his retirement from Army service in 1974.
He was appointed pastor of St. Patrick's Church, in Wilkes-Barre, on Sept. 3, 1974. He served in this capacity until his retirement in September 1982.
He was named Domestic Prelate (Monsignor) in 1964, by the late Pope Paul VI.
He received the Meritorious Service Medal, the Legion of Merit Medal (with two oak leaf clusters), and the Distinguished Service Medal.
He was preceded in death by two brothers, John and Eugene.
Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Stanley J. Sutula, Kingston; Mrs. Robert Sherrock, Hazleton; one brother, Neil McElwee, Harrisburg, and several nieces and nephews.
The transferal [sic] of the body, followed by Mass, will be held on Thursday at 7 p.m., with the Monsignor Donald A. McAndrews, V.F., presiding.
A Pontifical Concelebrated Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by the Most Reverend James C. Timlin, Bishop of Scranton, on Friday, at 11 a.m. in St. Patrick's Church, Wilkes-Barre. Interment will be in St. Gabriel's Cemetery, Hazleton.
Friends may call tonight at St. Patrick's Rectory, Wilkes-Barre, beginning at 7 p.m."

Sermon delivered February 22, 2009.
If any of us watch late night television, we may have seen the sitcom "Friends" which broadcasts old episodes. Now in syndication, it was popular during the 1990s. Back then I didn't like the show because of its numerous perverted and distorted messages about life. I was reminded of that when I watched it the other night and Ross and Rachel were trying to figure out if they were "in love" after conceiving a child together out of wedlock. Their discussion epitomizes how many in society misunderstand the nature of love thinking that it is solely or primarily a romantic feeling.
The epistle readings from the previous week present us with an alternate teaching on love. They all come from the First and Second Catholic/Universal Epistles of John (starting with 1John 2:18 -3:8; 3:9-22; 3:21 - 4:11; 4:20 - 5:21; and ending with 2John 1:1-13). They are a lead-in, building up to the exposition on love that Christ Himself gives (without even using the word 'love') in today's gospel of Meatfare or Judgment Sunday (Matthew 25:31-46).
Let us look more closely at some of the highlights. First, we hear in 1John:
Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as He is pure. Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Everyone who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. Everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
Right from the beginning the whole theme of love is cast against the backdrop of the return, the Second Coming of Christ to render final judgment. This obviously connects directly with the opening of today's gospel which says: "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats (Mt. 25:31-32)"
In the next passage also from chapter three, John the Evangelist restates Jesus' own teaching and commandment in the Gospel of John 15 which says: "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. These things I command you, that you love one another." He states:
For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us-and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.
Lest we misunderstand the origin and source of love, John goes on to say:
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.
Thus love does not come from us. Whether we realize it or not, all acts of love, goodness and righteousness are rooted in God Himself. This is important because our judgment and salvation not only depend upon our actions. They also depend on the condition of our heart. So actions of love, done for selfish or self-centered reasons, while helping others, will be of no use to us when the books are opened.
Finally in chapter four, John teaches us that love is not an esoteric belief or feeling.
Those who say, "I love God," and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen." The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also. Also, in chapter three he says, "How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?"
God's love is real and tangible. Jesus truly suffered and died on the Cross for our sake. We must make real and tangible sacrifices to help people in need and to demonstrate that we do indeed love God and neighbor. Jesus said the first and great commandment is: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind" (Mt.22:37). He said the second greatest commandment is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (vv.38-39).

Hospital Corporation of America (NYSE: HCA), a leading healthcare provider with 162 hospitals and 112 ambulatory surgery centers in 20 states and London, England, has been named one of the Ethisphere Institute's 2013 World's Most Ethical Companies. It is the fourth consecutive year HCA has achieved this distinction.
The Ethisphere Institute, a leading international organization dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, governance, anti-corruption and sustainability, established its World's Most Ethical Companies in 2007. According to Ethisphere, companies recognized are those that truly embrace ethical business practice and demonstrate industry leadership, forcing peers to follow suit or fall behind. HCA is one of only four healthcare providers on this year's list.
"Because Ethisphere's demanding selection process looks to the true ethical content of the day-to-day operations of organizations in all industries, this is really recognition for all 200,000 individuals who work in the various facilities throughout HCA," said Alan Yuspeh, HCA's Senior Vice President and Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. "We have been included once again because our team reflects our values of compassionate patient care, fairness and integrity in all that they do. We are honored to have been chosen as one of Ethisphere's World's Most Ethical Companies for the fourth year in succession."
In addition to HCA's long-standing, industry-leading ethics and compliance program, which has served as a model for others, the company is a leader in environmental practices among healthcare companies. Increasingly, the company is purchasing eco-friendly products, using sustainable building materials, improving recycling efforts and using energy and water more efficiently. HCA has installed both solar and geothermal energy sources at facilities and helped lead an industry effort to create standardized environmental questions for healthcare purchases. HCA is a member of Practice GreenHealth and a charter member of the Healthier Hospitals Initiative, two organizations that champion eco-friendly practices in healthcare.
HCA also has been a pioneer in establishing an improved charity care and uninsured discount policy, which has been emulated by hospitals across the country. Later, HCA became one of the first providers to make detailed pricing information publicly available. HCA facilities provide extensive health care to individuals who are unable to pay for such care. In addition, the company is active philanthropically, supporting agencies that promote health and well-being, support childhood and youth development and foster the arts in Middle Tennessee. Through the HCA Foundation, the company has awarded grants totaling approximately $25 million since 2008.
"Not only did more companies apply for the World's Most Ethical Companies recognition this year than any year in the past, which demonstrates that ethical activity is an important part of many of these companies' business models, but we are also seeing more companies be proactive and create new initiatives that expand ethics programs and cultures across entire industries, such as industry-based ethics associations and other activities," said Alex Brigham, Executive Director of Ethisphere. "We are excited to see the 2013 World's Most Ethical Companies take these leadership positions, and embrace the correlation between ethical behavior and improved financial performance."
Through in-depth research and a multi-step analysis, Ethisphere reviewed nominations from companies in more than 100 countries and 36 industries. The methodology for the World's Most Ethical Companies includes reviewing codes of ethics, litigation and regulatory infraction histories; evaluating the investment in innovation and sustainable business practices; looking at activities designed to improve corporate citizenship; and studying nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers and customers.
Read about the methodology and view the complete list of the 2013 World's Most Ethical Companies at http://ethisphere.com/wme/. The World's Most Ethical Companies list will also be featured in the 2013 Quarter 1 issue of Ethisphere Magazine.

Hundreds Take the Plunge For Special Olympics Missouri
Related Story
COLUMBIA - The high temperature on Saturday may only have been 32 degrees, but that didn't stop 601 people from plunging into Stephens Lake for the 6th Annual Polar Plunge.
The event is an annual fundraiser to raise money for Special Olympics Missouri's sports training and competition program for athletes with disabilities.
Cheryl Stock is a Special Olympics coach and frequent plunger who said she enjoys coming out to these events to support Special Olympics any way she can.
"It's one of those adrenaline rushes where you don't feel the cold until after you get out of the water," Stock said.
She said when it came to her costume, she went with the "less is more" idea and dressed up as a hula girl after almost "faceplanting" in the water last year.
Grant Gershner was a first-time plunger. He said his friends from Westminster College recruited him to join their team since he has done events like this before.
"I went to a church camp and they did one every morning, just to kind of help you wake up, cause we had to get up at like 5 in the morning. So, I've kinda done it, not in this kind of cold weather before," Gershner said.
Organizers told KOMU 8 News the event raised more than $90,000. It was hosted by the Columbia Police and Fire Department. KOMU-TV and Mid-Missouri CW were one of this year's sponsors.

Doris Singleton
Actress worked with Lucille Ball
Doris Singleton, 92, an actress best known for playing Lucy's friend Caroline Appleby on the classic TV comedy "I Love Lucy," died Tuesday in Los Angeles of complications from cancer, according to her nephew Henry Isaacs.
Singleton, who was married for 61 years to comedy writer Charles Isaacs, worked in radio as an actress and singer before moving into television in the early 1950s. Besides her recurring part on "I Love Lucy," she had guest roles on several of Lucille Ball's later TV series, as well as "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "My Three Sons," "Hogan's Heroes," "All in the Family," and other comedies and dramas.
Born Dorothea Singleton on Sept. 29, 1919, in Brooklyn, N.Y., she spent her childhood in New York and trained as a ballet dancer. She later moved with her family to Long Beach, where she attended high school, and began singing and acting.
Elinor Isabel 'Judy' Agnew
Widow of vice president
Elinor Isabel "Judy" Agnew, 91, the widow of former Vice President Spiro T. Agnew who preferred quiet domesticity to the political limelight, died June 20 of natural causes in Rancho Mirage, said a daughter, Susan Sagle.
In 1973, Spiro Agnew resigned from office after pleading no contest to a charge of tax evasion. Four years later the couple moved to the Coachella Valley.
She was born in Baltimore on April 23, 1921, the daughter of William Lee Judefind, a chemist and business executive, and Elinor Ruth Judefind, a homemaker.
Agnew, who shared the nickname "Judy" with her father, met her future husband when they were working at a Baltimore insurance company — she as an $11-a-week file clerk.
On May 23, 1942, the two married. After serving in the Army during World War II, her husband completed law school and got involved in Baltimore County politics before being elected governor of Maryland in 1966.
Judy Agnew celebrated her life as a homemaker.
"I majored in marriage," she liked to say.
In 1968, Agnew was propelled from her closely guarded obscurity to the national spotlight when Richard M. Nixon chose her husband to be his vice presidential running mate.
There were moments when she departed from her characteristic reluctance to comment on current events.
She explained in 1971 that she wasn't moved by the goals of the women's rights movement.
"Some of the things they do are silly," she told the Associated Press. "I'm fine, I don't think I need to be liberated."
But her response to reporters' questions during the 1972 presidential campaign was more typical:
"I do not speak out on the issues," she said. "I'm here to back up my husband. After all, my husband is the one running for office, and he is very knowledgeable."
Spiro Agnew died in 1996.
Bob Banfield
Longtime KABC-TV reporter
Bob Banfield, a longtime KABC-TV reporter who covered Robert Kennedy's assassination, the Manson murders and numerous earthquakes during his 43 years at the Los Angeles station, died Thursday, two days after his 82nd birthday. He had been battling cancer, KABC announced.
Banfield got his first broadcasting job at 18 as a junior announcer on a radio station in East Liverpool, Ohio.
He moved on to WHIZ in Zanesville, Ohio, and other stations before joining KABC-TV (Channel 7) in 1967. In the 1970s, he co-hosted the station's "A.M. Los Angeles" show with Regis Philbin.
He eventually became bureau chief for KABC's coverage of the inland counties east of Los Angeles. A resident of Loma Linda, he retired two years ago.
In 1994, after the Northridge earthquake, Banfield reflected on how TV news coverage had changed during his career.
"I covered the Sylmar quake back in 1971, and we could do so much more handling this one," Banfield told the Riverside Press Enterprise. "We were still using film back in Sylmar. We didn't have helicopters with instant pictures. Technology has made us so much more advanced these days."
Patricia Bario
Washington PR executive
Patricia Bario, 79, a former public relations executive who served as deputy White House press secretary under President Carter, died May 30 at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles of complications from a chronic illness and a stroke, her family said.
A Michigan native, Bario arrived in Washington, D.C., in 1963 as a communications aide to Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich.) and served until his death in 1976. She then moved to the White House as director of the media liaison office and deputy press secretary. She served briefly as press secretary to Geraldine Ferraro when the Democratic congresswoman from New York was the vice presidential nominee during Walter Mondale's run for the White House in 1984.
Bario later worked for the Burson-Marsteller public relations firm in Washington before founding her own company. She moved to Marina del Rey five years ago to be closer to her two sons, Franco and Marco.
She was born Patricia Yaroch in Kinde, Mich., on Aug. 12, 1932, to a family of Polish-Irish background. She graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelor's in journalism and worked as a newspaper reporter and editor before joining Hart's staff.
Her marriage to Sante Alessandro Bario ended in divorce.

Interview with: Bruce Weinberg, Vice President Operations, L-3 Communications Corporation
L-3 Communications Corporation:
Defense Manufacturing in the Future
Bruce Weinberg, a speaker at the marcus evans Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing Summit 2011, on creating an environment of continuous improvement.
Interview with: Bruce Weinberg, Vice President Operations, L-3 Communications Corporation
Aerospace and defense manufacturers need to provide change at much higher speeds as the industry heads towards downsizing, says Bruce Weinberg, Vice President - Operations at L-3 Communications Corporation. They must look internally to create an environment of continuous improvement. A speaker at the marcus evans Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing Summit 2011 in Hollywood, Florida, February 9-11, Weinberg shares his thoughts on creating efficiencies, production optimization and growth areas in the industry today.
What does the future hold for the aerospace and defense manufacturing industry?
Bruce Weinberg: The biggest challenge for the aerospace and defense manufacturing industry today is creating an environment of continuous improvement whilst experiencing downsizing. While our businesses shrink, we have to keep our eyes on improving, sustaining that improvement and improving the overall cost and quality of products. Our customer base is unique - soldiers depend on our products with their lives. We must focus not just on what we can do from a product perspective but also look at our internal processes; sustainability is going to be the key with the restructuring of budgets that will take place.
What strategies for creating efficiencies would you recommend?
Bruce Weinberg: We have many tools available to address industry challenges. Six Sigma Solutions are great tools for achieving the improvements that are needed.
When we talk about implementing Lean Six Sigma, many people think of Kaizen Events and Value Stream Mapping. However, processes for in-house audits and ownership also need further development. To maintain the higher levels of achievement realized through Six Sigma, everyone has to understand why in-house audits are necessary. Sustainment is the key challenge, yet it is also the key for improvement.
We should evaluate all processes and take advantage of all available technologies. Technology changes so quickly that manufacturing directors have to recognize the speed in which they are able to provide change. I like referring to the McDonald's philosophy, where customers pull up to one window to place an order and go to the next window to pick it up. We need to deliver innovative products at the speed that McDonalds has been able to. We can learn how to do this better.
Where are the areas for growth in this industry?
Bruce Weinberg: There are many new technologies available to improve both products and manufacturing processes. It is about knowing your customers and their needs, and pulling the right mix of technologies for the business base.
The defense world will be facing lower volumes of sales for several years, therefore niche products that address industry issues will be key now and in the future to come.

Nellies Nest, which is named after my beloved dog Nellie, that I just lost last month...so very sad! I have been paper crafting for so long I can't even remember when I began, but I started out like most, doing scrap booking. I love every aspect of creating with paper and my style is what I call a 'mood style'...just whatever "mood" hits me at the moment..lol!! I am showcasing a card today made with a die from Spellbinders that just came in the mail today...thank you to Crafting By Designs for inviting me to guest design!

Pamellia from My Little Craft Things
Hello Everyone! My name is Pamellia Johnson and I live on Lake Aquitaine in Ontario, Canada with my wonderful husband, our two little girls, Scully (a teacup Maltese) and Pebbles (a teacup black Pomeranian), and more recently, a family of adorable squirrels as well. I have been crafting in some form or another ever since I was a little kid, thanks to my very creative and talented Mom. I've dabbled in all sorts of crafts, but I think what I enjoy making the most is handmade cards. I really love doing shabby chic projects with tons of lace, pearls, flowers and a few touches of mixed media! Thank you so much to Doris for inviting me to spend the day with you all, it's a pleasure and an honour! I do hope you will join us for this wonderful challenge.
Sara from Sarascloset
My name is Sara Emily Barker aka sarascloset. I have been crafting on and off all my life, and I like to try just about any type of art or craft. I'm not sure at this point if I have a favorite, but I do love vintage/grunge. I'm honored to be here as Guest Designer today!
