April 26 Holocaust Memorial Program today at 7 pm

From: Philip H. Schwartz

Holocaust Memorial Program
Sunday April 26, 7PM

The Holocaust Memorial Program is a time when local Survivors and Liberators join with the community to remember lost family members
as well as work to ensure that such atrocities will never happen again. The memorial program also serves an educational function
and informs the public of the horror of the Nazi regime and the importance of not remaining silent when faced with bigotry and
intolerance.

The program runs approximately 90 minutes and includes a short background on the Holocaust, a candle lighting ceremony by survivors
and liberators, musical selections, slide show, and a featured speaker.

The featured speaker this year will be Dr. Ken Wald. Dr. Wald is Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of
Florida. Seventy years after his grandparents fled their home and were eventually deported to their deaths in Eastern Europe, Dr.
Wald returned to their small German town to represent the family as the town's citizens erected a monument to honor his
grandparents.

Dr. Wald's talk, "Revenge, Reconciliation and Responsibility", describes the journey both he and the town took to arrive at a shared
understanding of what happened to his family during the Holocaust.

The Holocaust Memorial Program is designed for the general public and everyone is invited to attend.

Article: Technique and Touch

Making a shot in basketball requires two things: (1) technique to
shoot the ball straight at the basket, and (2) touch to shoot the
correct distance.

Technique mainly is lining up the three joints of your shoulder, elbow
and wrist directly with the basket. You hold the ball in your hand.
When you extend your arm to shoot, if your joints are aligned,
the ball goes directly towards the basket.

There are a lot of drills you can practice to perfect this technique.

Once you have mastered the technique for shooting straight,
then you can work on your touch to get the right distance.

The way to train your body to get the right distance
is to shoot a lot of shots.

You have to master technique, before practicing touch
otherwise you will do more harm than good.

At the Bat Center

Bat Fest '08Batfest

The 4th Annual Bat Festival held October 25, 2008, shattered previous attendance records by bringing in over 1,300 visitors.
Although the event was held during the University of Florida Homecoming weekend, the bats once again proved to be the real stars of
the night. Bat Fest '08 was the first year we had food vendors and partnered with BloodSouth, whose Blood mobile was on site. At the
festival, tours and talks, kids activities and live didgeridoo music entertained visitors, adding a global feel to the festivities.
Lubee Bat Conservancy is already planning on making this year's festival bigger; including more child-friendly activities and
hosting additional vendors. The 2009 Annual Bat Festival will be held Saturday, October 10, 2009. If you missed the fun last year,
don't make the same mistake twice! Mark your calendar for Bat Fest'09, join our mailing list and/or visit our web site, and we will
notify you of Bat Fest'09 developments.

Filming for WebosaursNigel Marven
Lubee hosted Nigel Marven for two days, filming educational "Webosodes" for Webosaurs - a social gaming platform for children ages
6-10 where 3D avatar customization, in-world exploration, virtual battles and action-packed games are combined to create the
ultimate interactive experience.

www.webosaurs.com
Webosaurs also seeks to promote environmental awareness and education by implementing various in-world campaigns which encourage
children to support eco-friendly causes.

Research News
Development of an artificial insemination protocol in the flying-fox (Pteropus spp.)AI study

Cooling experiments were conducted using semen collected from several different flying-fox species held in captivity at the Lubee
Bat Conservancy in a research study by Debbie Melville from Queensland University (Australia) and Dr Linda Penfold,from White Oaks
Conservation Center (Florida). Analysis of the sperm membrane will provide an insight into its fragility during attempts to cool
sperm to permit artificial insemination. A key element to this collaborative study was the availability of Pteropus species held
outside Australia. Analysis of the data has only just started; however, it appears that there are male-male differences and species
differences of the sperm membranes.

Field News

Friends of the Fanihi
Fanihi is the local name given to the only flying foxes to reside on US Territory (the island of Guam) in the Pacific Ocean, and
islands closeby, including Rota, Saipan and isles known as the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. The CNMI Division of
Fish and Wildlife (DFW) biologist on Rota and local NGO, Rota Conservation and Ecotourism (RCE), participated in the annual Island
Fiesta of San Francisco de Borja in October 2008. The Fiesta provided a celebratory atmosphere where conservation awareness for the
Mariana fruit was raised by handing out T- shirts, caps, stickers and education materials produced with funding from Lubee. The
t-shirts are proudly worn by locals and have even been sighted on Guam and Saipan. The shirts stimulate conversation about the bats
whenever they are worn.

Keeper Diaries
For the Love of Bats

Ever wonder what it's like to spend your day working alongside 250 bats? Lubee Bat Conservancy's expert staff of animal keepers
would like to tell you all about it. By following the link to Keeper Diaries Blog, you will read articles written by the keeping
staff discussing everything from a typical day, to a tense situation involving a challenging bat birth. Lubee keepers practice all
aspects of animal care: basic animal husbandry, training, enrichment, education, and research. Learn how getting to know an
individual bat's personality translates into better management, and how each bat needs special care and attention.

A Ray of SunshineSunshine
A Little Golden-mantled Flying Fox (Pteropus pumilus) named Sunshine or "Sunny'" was born 19 June 2008. He was rejected by his
mother and the decision was made to hand raise him. He has done well throughout the entire hand-rearing process and our keepers
taught him to fly. He is currently fully integrated into a male colony.

Species News
The Pemba Flying Fox (Pteropus voeltzkowi)

A once critically endangered bat species, the 'Pemba flying fox', has made a dramatic return from the brink of extinction, according
to new research. As recently as 1989, only a scant few individual fruit bats could be observed on the tropical island of Pemba, off
Tanzania. Due to a community based conservation program initiated with funding provided to FFI by Lubee, it's numbers have soared to
an astounding 22,000 bats in less than 20 years, the new research finds. Continue reading this article from Science Daily

Lubee is succesful because of its dedicated team of staff, interns and volunteers, and also because of you, the people and
organizations who make our work possible. I'd like to extend my personal thanks to each and every one of you who has visited our
website, and especially those of you who have been kind enough to provide support to Lubee through web donations.

In these uncertain economic times, non-profit organizations everywhere are suffering, making now an ideal time to give a small gift.
Lubee's Bat Center operates from private endowment funds, and thus 100% of gifts received go directly to field conservation science
projects through our Small Grants fund.

090410 Dance Party this Sunday, Question For You

Hello Gainesville Area Dancers and Friends,

This Sunday we will have a short class from 6:30 to 7:30
followed by a birthday party dance from 7:30 to 9:30 to
celebrate March and April birthdays for Beth, Jay,
Richard (again) and Theresa.

If you have a birthday, let us know.
We will celebrate yours too.

Come out for a casual, fun evening of dancing and socializing.

This party is open to everyone, whether you know how to swing
dance or not.

There will be a mix of music, mostly on the slower side,
suitable for all types of swing, maybe a little cha cha,
salsa and some hustle.

QUESTIONS FOR YOU

Am thinking of starting a Swing and Social Dance night
and would like to get your thoughts.

What we do right now are classes. This would be a different format.

This would be a short class followed by social dancing, mostly
all types of swing with a little latin and hustle. The idea is
to give you a chance to go out and dance, putting all those classes
to good use.

Probably be on either Thursday, Friday or Sunday nights.
Probably cost $10.

Is this something that you would go to?
Any thoughts on what we would need to do to make it successful?

OTHER ITEMS

April 11 Will Tucker is having a birthday party at his
house for his brother Jay, Theresa and Richard, who's birthdays
are in March. Everyone is invited. Contact Will at tuckerhigh@aol.com
for directions.

Article: Always Get Out of the Car

Picked up my niece from school today, and after annoying her
for a bit, I stopped by a couple of stores looking for something.
She said, "I will wait in the car."

I told her, she should always get out of the car.

"Always get out of the car" is one of those entries in my
version of that book that we all keep of Rules To Live By.

Even if it is only for a minute, I always try to get out
of the car. It makes me feel like I did something.

My niece reminded me of a story my dad told.

My dad had a factory in Live Oak. For fifteen years he drove
70 miles each way to and from work. He built the factory from
nothing to a big operation with hundreds of workers.

I used to work there in the summers and on school breaks.
From the outside all you could see were the corrigated steel
walls. Inside was an impressive place with hundreds of sewing
machines, cutting tables, a warehouse of fabrics and thousands
of finished shirts being shipped.

One day when we were coming back from a trip, my dad thought he
would swing by the factory so my sisters could see what my dad
had been doing all these years. He wanted to show off his factory
and made up an excuse that he needed to pick up something.

He pulled up to the factory door and said, "Do you want to
come in and see the factory?"

All they had to do was open the car door, get out and walk
ten feet to the factory door.

"Nah, we will wait in the car," my sisters said.

Article: Always Get Out of the Car

Picked up my niece from school today, and after annoying her
for a bit, I stopped by a couple of stores looking for something.
She said, "I will wait in the car."

I told her, she should always get out of the car.

"Always get out of the car" is one of those entries in my
version of that book that we all keep of Rules To Live By.

Even if it is only for a minute, I always try to get out
of the car. It makes me feel like I did something.

My niece reminded me of a story my dad told.

My dad had a factory in Live Oak. For fifteen years he drove
70 miles each way to and from work. He built the factory from
nothing to a big operation with hundreds of workers.

I used to work there in the summers and on school breaks.
From the outside all you could see were the corrigated steel
walls. Inside was an impressive place with hundreds of sewing
machines, cutting tables, a warehouse of fabrics and thousands
of finished shirts being shipped.

One day when we were coming back from a trip, my dad thought he
would swing by the factory so my sisters could see what my dad
had been doing all these years. He wanted to show off his factory
and made up an excuse that he needed to pick up something.

He pulled up to the factory door and said, "Do you want to
come in and see the factory?"

All they had to do was open the car door, get out and walk
ten feet to the factory door.

"Nah, we will wait in the car," my sisters said.
