Guardian Angel Motorsports
To harness the power of the motorsports industry to raise
money for children's charities. The boys are at it again, the founders
of guardian angel motorsports, bruce ledoux and david quinlan will be joined
by drivers Dan Watkins, bob doyle & tommy sheehan in a race against man or
machine in the rolex 24 hour in Daytona to raise money for children’s
charities. this year we have partnered up with
Mission To raise public awareness, to provide advocacy and education, and to advance research on behalf of all those affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis. FAAN works to build public awareness of food allergy through the media and through education, advocacy, and research efforts. FAAN staff conducts seminars and training sessions on food allergy and anaphylaxis for patients, school staff, government officials, health professionals, restaurant and industry leaders, and other policymakers. FAAN works with policymakers on federal, state, and local initiatives in areas such as food labeling, epinephrine availability, and management of food allergies in schools, camps, airlines, and restaurants. FAAN supports and participates in research studies that lead us to a better understanding of, and a cure for, food allergy and anaphylaxis, and that improves the quality of life of individuals managing these conditions. Why Guardian angel motorsports chose faan Driver Bruce Ledoux has been a member of FAAN for over 6 years. His 6 year old son was diagnosed with severe food allergies at the young age of 3 months old. He was allergic to peanuts, treenuts, finfish, shellfish, milk, egg and beef. his daughter who never had food allergies until she was 7 years old, is now severely allergic to peanuts, treenuts, finfish, shellfish & sesame. “Our familiy is not alone when it comes to having children with food allergies....there are more than 12 million in the united states....but often times you feel like you are. there are a lot of anxieties families face with children with food allergies that most don’t understand. traveling, eating out, visiting friends, starting school, etc. are all things to be excited about....but often times the stress over organizing a safe experience for our children negates the excitement. Most experiences pose potential threats to our children if we don’t advocate and make sure that the environment is safe. sounds simple...but often times it is not. did you know that the fluoride that your child receives at the dentist contains treenuts? not something most would ask....but for a child with a treenut allergy...this could result in a severe anaphylactic reaction. There are things you can do to avoid falling into the anxiety trap. Education is essential — educate yourself, others in your life, and your children as they get older. This will reduce the risk of a dangerous reaction and help put you at ease. In addition, seek support and ways to relax, and try to turn your focus to the joys of life rather than its difficulties....and this is where FAAN plays a major roll in our life. Please help us support FAAN through our racing efforts at the Rolex 24 Hour race January 30-31, 2010. https://donate.guardianangelmotorsports.com/ purchase guardian angel motorsports apparel http://www.hackerthreads.com/items.asp?Cc=GAM&CatMoveby=0&Nbm=&Pbm=&FromNav Follow our blog at http://www.bruceledoux.com/blog/

Powerball sales to begin Sunday in MassachusettsArrival of second multi-state game to raise $25 million for local aidBRAINTREE, January 27, 2010 – As part of the largest agreement in U.S. lottery history, the Massachusetts State Lottery will begin selling tickets for Powerball, the multi-state, high jackpot game at its 7,500 agents across the Commonwealth on Sunday. Powerball will likely increase Massachusetts Lottery sales about $50 million annually and generate about $25 million in new profits each year. The arrival of the new game is also expected to bring in an additional $10 million to $12 million in Lottery profits this fiscal year. “This is a significant boost for local aid and our 351 cities and towns,” said Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill, who chairs the Lottery Commission. “After months of intense negotiations, we have been able to deliver new excitement for Lottery players and more revenue for our communities.” Thirty-three state lotteries, representing a combined population of 199 million people and 147,000 agents, will be offering both Mega Millions and Powerball under the new agreement. The market for these games has the potential to expand to 45 state lotteries, representing 291 million Americans and 182,000 retail outlets. Millions of additional Powerball and Mega Millions players are expected to dramatically increase the frequency of gigantic Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots. Those jackpots often exceed $100 million and have approached $400 million. (See attached list). Since the inception of the games, Powerball and Mega Millions have raised about $17.6 billion for education, public safety and other essential municipal services throughout the U.S. “We are
thrilled to be able to bring our players another
opportunity to win huge jackpots,” Executive Director
Mark Cavanagh said. “Players will have more chances to
win and jackpots will grow more rapidly than ever
before. With more people playing, there will be more
winners and more prizes than ever before.” Powerball drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. at Universal Studios in Orlando. The drawings will be aired locally by WCVB-TV Channel 5. |

Come and celebrate Valentine's Day with the Steeple Coffeehouse on February 13th when we welcome Maura Kennedy and Meg Hutchinson. The doors open at 7pm. Tix are $14/$11 in advance and $17/$14 at the door.
Meg Hutchinson was raised in
the small town of Great Barrington, Massachusetts by English teachers,
so it is no surprise that she is a writer with an uncanny perceptiveness
about the natural world and the human condition. Growing up in the
Berkshire Mountains, the woods and ponds were her childhood muses, as
were the songwriters she listened to, like Greg Brown and Joni Mitchell.
When she inherited her grandmother’s 1957 Martin guitar at age eleven,
her love of words found an inspiring instrument, and there was no
turning back. “Songwriting is not something I chose, I’ve just somehow
always known that this is what I love to do. This is what I can’t help
but do,” she says. Teaming up again with Crit Harmon, Hutchinson recorded her Red House debut Come Up Full over the course of more than a year in Boston. Combining her raw storytelling folk style with tasteful, intimate production, the album showcases her sweet, earthy vocals that have been the hallmark of her music. Spanish-style guitar fills and light organ parts create a radio-friendly record that is wistful and warm.
On her first "solo" venture, Maura Kennedy unleashes her better pop angels and her most tormenting demons on "Parade of Echoes," a near-Spectorian symphony of ebullient/anguished ruminations on any True Lover's worst fears, denials and fervent hopes. Kennedy's classic rock-ability has never been better presented: To paraphrase The Bob, Maura's tough'n'tender vocal delivery has a smoky, full-bodied punch that's "just like a woman's, yet it breaks just like a little girl's." Such unguarded, soulful exposition serves her spectacularly well on this sonically expansive, lyrically claustrophobic emotional rollercoaster that -- but for the closing, Patsy Cline-flavored coda co-written with Pete -- is all Maura's, all the time. Few women in popular music have ever ventured into the push-pull of failed romance/betrayal with the righteous, self-aware presence exhibited at every measure herein; the crap has hit the fan, she gets it and manages to move on while still clearly in possession of her quiet, inner-sense of self and leaving the door open for mature, if bruised, reconciliation. |

The infinitesimal capture of painstaking detail has begun to transform into a purity of action and gesture. What has been the inner focus of geometric sequence has become a relatively non-linear study in the content of expressive direction. The surface in the mandala-based drawings was divided and sub-divided, creating a depth, embarking on the dissection of matter at the particle level. As this work was intensely focused, the present gestural paintings are a natural succession to this action, an implosion of energy. The focus on process has become the active measurement of progression. A moment in time is transient; existing however, almost radically in the entirety, recognizable as memory. It is as a ghost of itself, providing waves of light, trails of suggestion. In my work I seek to provide a clue to the components of action and energetic expression. George Shaw is an artist residing in Cambridge, Massachusetts, graduating with honors from Massachusetts College of Art in 1983 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting in 1983. His work had begun to take on sculptural, 3-dimensional characteristics at this time, investigating structure and its relationship to unformed space. His 2 and 3-dimensional work led to the discovery of photography. Taken by the ability to capture a moment in time, he realized that he could utilize the camera to catch the ethereal within the real. This is mirrored in his recent series of graven images, as an attempt to catch the dialogue between the relationship of the present to the past and the future. The images came about serendipitously, and the process became based on the reflections and double images produced as he focused on objects inside various mausoleums. |

This contract award also includes three option phases which, if awarded, could increase the total value of this contract to $6.4 million and could include delivery of over 100 production units. Under the terms of this five-month, phase one program, Protonex will develop the next-generation of its existing M250-CX platform by increasing its power output, integrating additional battery management and charging capabilities, reducing overall size and weight, and further ruggedizing the system for field use. At the conclusion of the phase one program, Protonex is expected to deliver multiple portable battery charger/APU systems to the U.S. Army for further testing and field use. Development of a next-generation system based on the existing 250-watt platform will provide the military with lightweight, extremely quiet and fuel efficient power systems that can be used as portable field battery chargers or auxiliary power units (APUs). Use of the M250-CX could enable new mission scenarios and allow a switch to rechargeable batteries in the field, thereby reducing overall weight and saving significantly on the hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually on non-rechargeable batteries in the field by the US Department of Defense. Commenting on the contract, Scott Pearson, Chief Executive of Protonex said: “With this significant award, our development work on the M250 platform of products has been supported to date by a total of $9.6 million in contracts from the U.S. Army and the U.S. Department of Defense. This contract represents continuing support from our military customers and validates the need for alternative power solutions for U.S. soldiers in the field where batteries and generators fail to provide acceptable performance.” “In addition, the potential follow-on funding contemplated by the three program options could pave the way to low volume procurement of the M250-CX systems within the U.S. Army and other military and government agencies.”Protonex’ M250-CX system is a lightweight, 250-watt portable power system designed to meet the stringent demands of a wide range of military battery charging and auxiliary power unit applications. The unique design combines advances in fuel cell energy conversion and battery charging technology into one complete product solution to provide military battery charging and 28V auxiliary power with extremely low weight, noise, and thermal signature.
UMass Memorial Health Care First
System with Multiple Winners of Betsy Lehman Award
Two hospitals within the UMass Memorial Health Care system each received the 2009 Betsy Lehman Patient Safety Recognition Award from the Betsy Lehman Center for Patient Safety and Medical Error Reduction, a program established under the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and housed within the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. UMass Memorial Medical Center and Marlborough Hospital were this year's sole winners. Both hospitals were recognized for their efforts in reducing health care-associated infections while also promoting a culture of safety throughout their institutions. Additionally, Certificates of Merit were awarded to three other hospitals. The Betsy Lehman Patient Safety Recognition Award was established in 2005 to recognize leadership and innovation in patient safety including public awareness, education and promotion of systems-based solutions through the implementation of best practices.
Marlborough Hospital "We are honored to receive the distinguished Betsy Lehman award," said John Polanowicz, CEO and president of Marlborough Hospital. "We are a community hospital where many talented, highly skilled and compassionate clinical leaders are committed to outstanding quality and safety outcomes for our patients. I thank everyone for their great work and know this will propel us forward to even greater achievements."
UMass Memorial Medical Center "By focusing on safety, data and communication, we have established a vision of zero tolerance to any outcome that does not put patient safety first," said Stanley Tam, MD, chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at UMass Memorial Medical Center. "Our cardiac surgery team has been recognized as one of the best in the nation and our whole Medical Center continues to set the bar for excellence in quality outcomes and patient safety," said Walter Ettinger, president of UMass Memorial Medical Center. This year marks the first occasion that the primary award winners were members of the same health care system. "We are extremely proud to be recognized by the Betsy Lehman Center," said John O'Brien, president and CEO of UMass Memorial Health Care. "Improving quality, safety and the patient experience is paramount throughout the hospitals and physician practices of our system. I thank and congratulate everyone associated with these programs which make such a positive impact to our patients."

The Wolverines started strongly on the floor exercise, posting a 59.300 total score. Freshman Rohan Sebastian (Oklahoma City, Okla./Bishop McGuinness Catholic), in his first competitive performance in Cliff Keen, recorded a 14.500 along with Cameron's 15.400 winning score. Cameron's trademark Thomas flair sequence amazed the audience of nearly 700 inside Cliff Keen. With its performance on the floor, Michigan jumped out to a nearly three-point lead and never looked back.In the second rotation, U-M placed three athletes, Cameron and seniors David Chan (Singapore, Singapore/New Hale) and Mel Anton Santander (Southborough, Mass./Algonquin Regional), in the top five on the pommel horse, stretching its lead to nearly five points. Michigan's 59.000 total was a nearly two-point improvement from the team's total at last week's Windy City Invitational. Santander was nearly flawless, recording a career best (14.950), and earned the year's first Newt Loken Outstanding Performance Award.On the rings, the Wolverines put the memory of the miscues from last week aside, sticking the same dismounts that cost them a chance at the Windy City title. Kelley led the way, nailing the front double pike dismount that he missed last weekend to take first place on the rings with a career-best 15.200. The Wolverines continued to coast on vault. Michigan again placed three athletes in the top five, posting a 62.550 total behind Chan's signature double front vault (15.800), senior Kent Caldwell (Charlotte, N.C./Charlotte Latin), who added a full twist to his effort from the team's season opener (15.750), and a nearly stuck effort from Sebastian (15.700).In rotation five, Cameron and Santander turned in matching scores of 14.55 to lead Michigan to another season high on the parallel bars with a total of 57.300, extending U-M's lead to nearly 10 points going into the final rotation. The final rotation moved Michigan to the high bar, the only event on which U-M did not set a season high. Kelley soared on three release moves to lead a Michigan sweep of the event, scoring a 14.700, followed closely behind the career-best effort (14.65) of junior Ben Baldus-Strauss (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South). Santander rounded out the top three.The Wolverines are back in action next week in Iowa City, Iowa, against Iowa, currently ranked No. 8, on Saturday (Jan 30) at 7 p.m. CST. |

Ledoux will pilot the No. 18 entry with co-drivers Bob Doyle, David Quinlan, Tom Sheehan and Dan Watkins. “As the father of a child with different abilities that faces several challenges in life, I want to give kids, like my son, a chance to win because, right now, so many of them don’t have that chance,” Ledoux said. “We’re especially touched that Labonte – a big NASCAR champion – is helping our little effort to make a difference in the lives of kids.” The Bobby Labonte Foundation, created in 2003, has a great love for children and focuses on philanthropies that cater to children with special needs. The Foundation’s main a beneficiary is the Victory Junction Camp for children with chronic illnesses. The camp is a Paul Newman Hole in the Wall Gang camp founded by Kyle and Patti Petty in honor of their son Adam.
