Each of our donor’s funds enhances some facet of the community. You work with us to make a mark. Your community is better because of your gift; and the Foundation is stronger because of your participation. The Foundation is all the more creative and powerful in its giving because of the variety of its donors’ perspectives. Your Foundation is evolving to better serve you and the community by increasingly aligning its resources around grant-making priorities. We’ll step up our impact, and take some measured but bold risks. The Foundation is so broad in reach, so trusted and so permanent, that such pulling together is a natural step forward for us. In 2010, contributions were up, new funds were up and more donors than ever joined us in learning about needs in our region that demand creative and powerful giving. You share our eagerness to make even more of an impact. One of our region’s priorities is to prepare a workforce that will attract and sustain employers in the coming years.

Alden Trust decided to expand its grantmaking priorities to encompass education from early childhood through adulthood, its trustees turned to the Foundation, confident in our community knowledge and ability to spring into action on their behalf. Within months, their investment became an active grantmaking resource. At the same time, the new George I. Alden Community Education Fund became part of the Foundation’s $116 million endowment, which pools together all of our individual donors’ funds and gifts. The Foundation protects and grows this community asset through prudent investments that enlarge the capacity of each fund and the Foundation as a whole to do good—now and in perpetuity. Each donor enriches and mines these assets in a different way. Run by the people, for the people, the Foundation is unique as a citizen-run model of philanthropy dedicated to enhancing the community as a whole, now and in the future, rather than just one sector or cause. The Foundation remains faithful to the vision of its founders, whose experiment in a distinctly neighborly and self-reliant model of philanthropy took hold and spread deep roots. Worcester Tree Initiative brings trees to schools, parks and city streets. Trusted for its transparency and efficiency and valued for its wisdom and longevity, the Foundation is unique in its capacity to unite people from diverse sectors in influencing In the five stories that follow, you’ll see this art of giving and effecting positive change within the region. at work in all its variety and generosity.

Greater Worcester Community Foundation • 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 3 Max H. Kuhner and Eloise A. Kuhner Fund Longtime Oakham residents keep health care close to home In the early ‘50s, Max and Eloise Kuhner built a rustic, chalet- like house on former farmland in Oakham. They filled their home with displays of coins, arrowheads and keepsakes from their travels as well as Eloise’s vast assortment of teddy bears. Max was an engineer; but at home, he became a craftsman. If he had to cut down a tree, he turned it into stools, benches and coffee tables. A genial, community minded man, Max established a trust to ensure the future of the local Holden Hospital, a cherished resource to families throughout the Wachusett region. Eloise shared her husband’s support for local health care and volunteered at the Barre Family Health Center.

Duke, Director of the Solar System Exploration Division of the NASA Johnson Space Center. At a meeting of the Lunar and Planetary Sample Team (LAPST), Dr. Duke (at the time also Science Director of the Office of Exploration, NASA Headquarters) suggested that future lunar geoscience activities had not been planned systematically and that geoscience goals for the lunar base program were not articulated well. LAPST is a panel that advises NASA on lunar sample allocations and also serves as an advocate for lunar science within the planetary science community. LAPST took it upon itself to organize some formal geoscience planning for a lunar base by creating a document that outlines the types of missions and activities that are needed to understand the Moon and its geologic history.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

  • Volcano House Register Volume 2
    Haw VolcanoesNa al Park National Service Park The Volcano House Register, Volume 2 1873-1885 In this volume, on almost every page, there are entries in which a writer merely gives his name, date, times of arrival and departure, and destination. In the other volumes, whenever this occurs, I mention that I omitted such an entry, and give the page number. But because there are so many such entries in this particular volume, it would become tedious both for the transcriber to record and the reader to read every case of such omission; so I am doing it once only, here at the beginning of the document. On the page facing page 1, there is a rough table of contents, listing the page numbers of various maps and signatures of Kalakaua, Louis Pasteur, etc. In addition, there is a poem: Index Some good Some mediocre And much rotten For the Lord's sake Don't write unless You have somethingHawai'i Volcanoes Park To say & can say it. National Park Ser no signature and no date Between 11 and 12 last night Mokuaweoweo started action again. The wind has been from the southward, and the whole day a dense body of smoke has been passing over Kilauea and across Puna, off to sea. Evidently a much greater portion of the crater is in action than in the eruption of August last. Had a heavy thunder shower about dusk with hail and this evening there is considerable lightning. Weather hazy and top of mountain seldom visible. Kilauea quite active but no lava flowing.
