We measure it by the number of kids who make new friends with someone who can relate to their experience. We measure it by how many campers say this is Hthe only place they don’t feel like a patient. We measure it in the happy tears of parents when they see their child being courageous and carefree. We measure it far beyond the campers we serve, from the volunteers who say their lives are changed here, to the siblings who cherish time together and the families who assure us that all of them heal thanks to Roundup River Ranch. We never forget that your generosity is what makes this possible. You are the power behind the impact. And we are forever grateful.

Richardson Berry’s letter It is an absolutely beautiful fall day as I write this letter to you. The leaves have changed, the air is crisp, and the sun is warm as it streams through my window. I watch a lot of the world go by in its ever changing seasons from my chair and I must say that I feel happy and blessed. Of course, it is hard for me to get up to camp and see all that is going on, but I do manage to get to “colors” and some other larger events. I have had the joy of watching my granddaughters grow up at camp with Kanchan now entering her AC year. Maya, cute little button that she is, is coming full season next summer as a JC I and I can’t wait. However, it just doesn’t seem possible that they have moved along through camp so quickly. They bring me much interesting news of the goings on at camp during the summer. Right after the summer, I attended the wonderful wedding of my sister Frances’ grandson Garran to Christie Cepetelli.

  • Dear Environmental Protection Agency Employees
    December 14, 2017 (Updated May 7, 2018) Dear Environmental Protection Agency Employees, This letter is written to express support and thanks for the work you do every day to protect public health and the environment. We want you to know your dedication is valued by millions of Americans despite indication that the current Administration feels otherwise. Equally important, we also write to better inform members of the public who may not understand what a frontline role you play in preventing premature death, other avoidable health consequences, irreversible ecosystem damage, and yes, even climate change. States, Tribes, and EPA play vital roles in protecting Americans and the environment from the impacts of pollution. In the late 60s and early 70s, our Congressional leaders created a system of environmental protection based on the principle of cooperative federalism. For this reason, and today more than ever, the safeguarding of our health and natural resources depends on robust state and Tribal programs as well as a fully functioning EPA. In every part of this country, you provide vital expertise and guidance, in partnership with the states and Tribes, by setting pollution limits to protect public health and the environment, facilitating development of multi-state solutions to pollution, using sound science to inform and address complex environmental challenges, responding to extreme weather events and catastrophes, and assisting states and Tribes with monitoring, enforcement and compliance. All of these functions (and there are many more) creates a level playing field among states and industry, which in turn guarantees a level of protection against harmful pollution for all Americans, regardless of where you live.

  • Games and Metaphor – a Critical Analysis of the Metaphor Discourse in Game Studies
    IT University of Copenhagen Center for Computer Games Research Games and Metaphor – A critical analysis of the metaphor discourse in game studies Sebastian Martin Möring This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) at IT University of Copenhagen. Candidate: Sebastian Martin Möring Dalføret 11 2300 Copenhagen S Denmark +45 50122497 [email protected] Supervisor: Espen Aarseth September 2013 2 3 Abstract This doctoral dissertation critically investigates how the concept of metaphor is used with regard to games in game studies. The goal is to provide the field with a self-understanding of its metaphor discourse which has not been researched so far. The thesis departs from the observation that the notion of metaphor has been present in the discourse of game studies since it emerged as an academic field and focuses on questions such as: What are the motivations and effects of calling games metaphors in the game studies discourse? Which problems arise from that with regard to other established concepts in game studies such as simulation and procedural rhetoric? How do concepts and insights of contemporary metaphor theory affect the applicability of the notion of metaphor with regard to games? Drawing on concepts from metaphor theory (in particular the cognitive linguistic view on metaphor), play and game theory, cultural theory, semiotics, linguistics, philosophy, and game studies it investigates the metaphor discourse of game studies in the fashion of a meta-study. The main part of this thesis is devoted to three particular problems which have been derived from observations in the overview of the current use of the notion of metaphor in game studies.

  • Master Document National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form
    Master Document National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form The Burgess-Osborne Memorial Auditorium 1701 Wabash Avenue Mattoon, Illinois Prepared by Stephen A. Thompson Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc. April 2018 Executive Summary The following document is the master National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination form submitted in a draft configuration to the Illinois State Historic Preservation Officer on 04 August 2017 for the 1953 Burgess-Osborne Memorial Auditorium (the Burgess) located at 1701 Wabash Avenue, Mattoon, Illinois. This NRHP document addresses the social and architectural significance of the Burgess and is an expansion of the 2013 Coles County List of Significant Places document generated for local landmarking of the Burgess. A related social sub-context addressed in detail in Appendix A of Section 8 is the role the Burgess played in the regional 1950s and 1960s pop music culture, with emphasis on the teen dances/concerts held at the facility and the bands that played there. The research of the associated contexts and the preparation of the nomination form were undertaken by Stephen A. Thompson of Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc., Carolyn Cloyd and Joyce St. Michael, members of the Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council, assisted with research and preparation of the National Register documentation. The Coles County Historic Preservation Advisory Council is an historic preservation advisory body under the Coles County Regional Planning & Development Commission, which reports to the Coles County Board. After thorough research and evaluation it has been determined that the Burgess is eligible for listing on the NRHP in that it: 1. Is locally significant under NRHP Criterion A, “…events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.” 2.
