How to Use the Images Illustrations
According to tradition, Fort Clatsop was given by Lewis and Clark to a Clatsop Indian chief, by whom it was occupied sporadically until it fell into ruin. With the arrival of the Astorians on the Columbia River in 1811, the site of Fort Clatsop was of interest to travelers, and as late as the 1860s sightseers occasionally visited it. The site was included in a donation land claim during the 1850s and farming operations obliterated the remains of the post. Between 1899 and 1901 there was a renewed interest in the site and at least two independent attempts were made to establish the exact location. The memories of early settlers in the region formed the basis of these identifications, which have won general acceptance. The Oregon Historical Society acquired the current memorial site in 1901, and it has since been operated as a historic monument open to the public. In 1955 a community-built replica of the explorers' 50'x50' Fort Clatsop was built on the ground then believed to have been the original site of Ft. Clatsop. Fort Clatsop National Memorial, now a unit of the National Park Service, commemorates the 1805-06 winter encampment of the 33-member Lewis and Clark Expedition. The park's reconstructed fort burned down in October 2005. However, the site remains open as a memorial to the expedition and still contains the reconstructed salt works.
In 1900 the long-forgotten salt-making site was re-established by the Oregon Historical Society as a memorial to the Corps of Discovery. It was based on the rockpile and the testimony of Jenny Michel, a Clatsop Indian born in 1816. Prior to her death in 1905, she recalled her mother's memory of white men boiling water on that spot. In 1979, the site was donated by the Oregon Historical Society as an addition to Fort Clatsop National Memorial.
Questions for Photos 2 & 3
1. How was it decided where to build the reconstructed fort and salt works? What are the strengths and weaknesses of using this method? Can you think of any other methods that might help determine where a structure used to be?
2. Since 1901, the site of Fort Clatsop has been operated as a historic monument/memorial. Why would people have developed a renewed interest in Lewis and Clark at that time? List some of the monuments and memorials in your local community or that you have read about in other places. What do you think monuments and memorials represent? Does a reconstructed fort fit your descriptions? Why or why not?
3. Based on what you have learned about the Corps of Discovery, why do you think it might be important to preserve and protect Fort Clatsop National Memorial? Do you think the reconstructions built here help people better understand the Lewis and Clark expedition's experience during their winter encampment? Why or why not?

Corey Taylor Talks 'Seven Deadly Sins,' Future of Slipknot, Tim Tebow + More
It's understandable if you think you know a lot about Corey Taylor. After all, the media often trumpets his outspoken comments, including those about other artists. Yet, the frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour is much more complex than the headlines would portray.

More and more evidence is pointing towards the next Xbox requiring an always-on internet connection in order to play any games - i.e., once you lose your connection, you can't play any game at all. Three minutes after losing your connection, "your" game will suspend itself and stop playing. Microsoft's Adam Orth took to Twitter to defend this anti-consumer practice, but he did so in the most ungraceful of ways.

RE[2]: Comment by Chris_G
by Brendan on Sat 6th Apr 2013 02:54 UTC in reply to "RE: Comment by Chris_G"
My children love playing the old video games I saved. Will the next generation of video games be arond long enough for anyone's children be able to play them?
This is a compromise between the amount of profit lost due to bad publicity (e.g. caused by turning the servers off) and the amount of profit gained by forcing people to upgrade their console.
My guess is that "xBox n" will be released, will have teething problems for several months and then will work fine for about 5 years (for people who have always on internet anyway). Then "xBox n+1" will be released and the servers for the older "xBox n" will suddenly become sluggish and unreliable for marketing reasons (with "the servers are being re-purposed for the newer Xbox" used as a barely plausible excuse). Then the servers for the older "xBox n" will just get worse over the next few years, until Microsoft can claim that nobody is using them (because they're so slow and unreliable that everyone had to upgrade their console) and turns them off completely.
Consumers will be annoyed at this, and will say things like "I'll never buy an xBox again"; but people are stupid and they'll buy the "xBox n+1" anyway (and have the same problems when "xBox n+2" is released, and say things like "I'll never buy xBox again" before rushing out and buying "xBox n+3"). After maybe 15 years of this it'll become "industry standard behaviour" and people will stop complaining about being forced to upgrade every 5 years because they've been trained to accept it.

Are Subsidies for Bioenergy Necessary?
When subsidies are discussed in the media there is often a negative connotation behind their assessment. Politicians face constant scrutiny for approving "government handouts" that are alleged to be unnecessary and wasteful. The bioenergy sector has numerous subsidies that it utilizes to better compete with the fossil fuel sector, which have a far longer run as mature industries and also receive considerable subsidies of their own.
Today's DataPoints looks at what happens when a subsidy is removed, reinstated… removed again, and reinstated again and that might give us insight into their need for the healthy growth of our industry. Over the last four years, the biodiesel industry has experienced an intermittently implamented $1 dollar per gallon blender's tax credit from the federal government to that is meant to spark growth. In spite of the on again/ off again incentive, the biodiesel industry remains relatively healthy, even eclipsing the one billion gallons per year production mandate set by the EPA. The chart below shows monthly biodiesel production in the U.S. from Jan of 2009 to May of this year with the periods that the blender's credit was allowed lapse. After the credit was first allowed to lapse in 2010, production decreased considerably and remained low. During the second lapse in 2012, production was up and down even reaching production milestones. There is not a clear trend on whether the subsidy is necessary from this simple analysis.
To better understand the production swings and how much they were caused by the expiration of the subsidy, I reached out to Ron Kotrba from Biodiesel Magazine. Ron explained that 2010 was a complex time for biodiesel markets not only because of the lapse in the credit. The delayed implementation of RFS2, which did not occur until mid-2010, and the 2009 enactment of import tariffs by the EU caused further disruption to U.S. production beyond the loss of the federal credit during 2010. The reaction by producers to the loss of the credit in 2012 further supports the notion that the credit alone does not kill or keep the industry alive. During this second lapse of the credit in 2012, biodiesel production rose to record setting heights, peaking at 100 million gallons in May, a monthly level only reached three times previously. Production levels in 2010 and 2012, while the credit had lapsed, were not similar enough to draw illuminate conclusions of the potential need for the credit to keep the biodiesel industry alive.
There is little doubt that the biodiesel blender's $1 per gallon tax credit and other bioenergy subsidies spur production. Yet, whether the subsidy is needed for the survival of the industry is far more complex in its answer given the numerous influences on energy markets. However, if we look to the fossil fuel sector to help us anwer whether subsidies for bioenergy are necessary, the answer is inherently 'yes,' subsidies should be a permanent part of the funding structure for the long-term health and growth of the bioenergy industry.

|Attending The Honda Classic's annual charity reception are, from left, Trudy Crowetz, Palm Beach Atlantic University Vice President for Development Vicki Pugh, Pam Johnson and PBA student Jimmy Janis.
The Palm Beach Atlantic University men's and women's golf programs recently were named the recipients of a 2013 grant from The Honda Classic.
The newly formed Sailfish golf teams will begin play this fall under the direction of head coach Craig Watson, a PGA Class A Professional and the program director for The First Tee of the Palm Beaches.
"The financial support from the Honda Classic is a tremendous benefit for our new golf program," said Carolyn Stone, director of athletics at PBA. "Our student-athletes are committed to giving back to the community and this grant will enable our golf team to engage in activities that not only grow the game of golf, but teach leadership skills through the team's involvement with the First Tee. The values of First Tee closely mirror that of Palm Beach Atlantic Athletics where character education and life skills are in the core of all we do. Our golfers can model these important attributes through mentoring First Tee participants and other youth in the community."
An honorary plaque commemorating the grant was presented to the University on July 10 at the PGA National Resort and Spa at their annual charity reception. Vice President for Development Vicki Pugh and PBA student Jimmy Janis were on hand to accept the honor.

ATLANTA -- Gaby Sanchez's career with the Marlins is over.
The former All-Star first baseman and native Miamian was shipped off to the Pirates along with a minor league pitcher Tuesday before the trade deadline for outfielder Gorkys Hernandez and a competitive balance draft pick (No. 2 after the 1st round).
Hernandez is expected to join the Marlins Wednesday in Atlanta.
Hernandez, a 24-year old Venezuelan, made his major league debut on May 21. He hit .083 for the Pirates (2 for 24) with two stolen bases and two RBI. He's spent the last two seasons in Triple A Indianapolis, where he's hit .274 with three homers, 65 RBI and 34 stolen bases in 67 games.
Sanchez -- the third starting infielder for the Marlins dealt within the past 10 days -- welcomed his first child to the world on Saturday when his wife Judy gave birth to Sky Michelle Sanchez. Gaby Sanchez, 28, was sent down to Triple A on July 4th after the Marlins acquired Carlos Lee from the Astros. Sanchez hit just .202 with three homers and 17 RBI this season in 55 games for the Marlins.
The Marlins also sent Double A right-handed reliever Kyle Kaminska to Pittsburgh. Kaminska was 6-4 with a 5.11 ERA in 31 relief appearances in Jacksonville.
The Marlins -- we're told -- aren't done dealing. Stay tuned.

To the question, "will PlayStation Network become a paying service?" House responded:
I can assure you that the current PSN as you know it will remain a free service. It is something that our competitors don't offer and something that shows our loyalty to the PlayStation Community. However, Kaz Hirai stated a few months ago that we were looking at a premium service to sit alongside the current free service and that objective has not changed. You'll learn more about it very soon.
Expect that this will be announced at E3. House also mentioned that the long-awaited Gran Turismo 5 will be "out soon". Could we be getting a true release date at E3, as well?

6star Brains & Scrambled Eggs (my version of the Scrambled Brains on the website): This was what my Mother would cook occasionally when I was a child that I loved to eat. It was always pork brains, cut in small pieces and fried with scrambled eggs, and I liked to eat them with catsup on them. If I came across some pork brains today, I would cook and eat them this way in a heartbeat! Yummy!
ROHfan Okay, I got one. My family absolutely CRINGES when I make it. And it's made abundantly clear that I will be the ONLY one enjoying it. Two words: Spam Parmigiano. Just take your Chicken Cutlet Parmigiano recipe and use Spam instead of Chicken. Enjoy!

My Angel
Rosalie is Emmett's angel. A/N: You'll need this for awhile.
This does not belong to me, it belongs to Stephenie Meyer.
1. Frustration
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 706 Review this Chapter
"If Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires, how bad could it be?" Emmett said to Bella. Even though he, Edward, and Bella were downstairs in our living room, I could hear what they were saying all the way up in the almost-all white room I shared with Emmett.
"So you see, hell's not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you," he continued. I heard a loud crash as something -- or someone -- fell. Emmett laughed and the sound of his footsteps heading for the stairs echoed off the pale, open walls of our house.
I sighed. How could he possibly think that I was an angel? Even then...he was my angel. I was tired of being pushed toward Edward. He was my brother and pretty much my best friend. I never thought of him in that way.
The echoes faded into footsteps and the door swung open, revealing my Emmett, smiling with his caramel-colored eyes glowing with laughter. He strode around to the other side of the bed, pausing to glance at my frustrated expression reflected in the window. His eyes met mine and his expression changed.
"Rose," he murmured, "your eyes are black again." He cringed as the rage rose up inside me and shined in my eyes.
So what if you can see the darker side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become. Help me believe, it's not the real me. Somebody help me change this animal.
"Sorry," he whispered, his lips pressed to my ear. I sighed again and he pulled me intto his cold, strong chest. I leaned into him and closed my eyes.
"Blue," I whispered.
"My eyes were blue."
"And they didn't change color when I was thirsty. Didn't show that I was a goddamned animal," I practically snarled.
"Rose," he whispered. He trailed his fingertips along my jaw, comforting me somewhat. He sensed my lack of comfort and lowered his face until it was less than an inch away from mine, our noses touching.
"Mine were gray," he murmured, his lips moving against mine, which were pulled into a gimace. He could tell that I was obviously still seething. His lips pressed into mine and I knew that he could feel the raw fury leave me.
"Shh...my angel..." He spoke the words so softly that I knew only I could hear. But my short moment of peace was instantly replaced with the same hideous anger from before. He felt it return and moved his lips to my ear. I pushed him away, but he pulled me closer. A vicious snarl rose in my throat, despite his comforting hands tracing the bumps of my spine.
"I'm no fucking angel!" I growled. He cringed again at the sheer rage provoked by his words. "How could you possibly think I was?" I tugged myself out of his grasp to stare at him.
His beautiful golden eyes smoldered.
"I'm a fucking monster! Can't you see that? We're damned to a life of darkness and you're completely fine with that? Tell me how that's even possible!"
He was silent for a while, studying my expression.
"You're wrong," he answered finally. In response to my quizzical look, he continued, "You're my angel because you saved me. It has nothing to do with what we are. You saved me, and for that, you will always be my angel."
I started to say, "Emmett --" but he cut me off.
"I can live this way because I have you, my love. You've kept me alive since I saw you, my angel. You are my life, my existence, my eternity...My Rosalie," he whispered, his voice noticeably lower and so soft I could hardly stand it. All of my anger was lost in his beautiful voice.
"You will always be my angel. You are my life, my existence, my eternity." I paused. "My Emmett."
His eyes smoldered again. He took my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. He said something every time our lips parted.
"My angel," he whispered. "My angel."
I can fly, but I want his wings. I can shine, even in the darkest, but I crave the light that he brings. Revel in the songs that he sings. My angel...

BioWare hinted about a new Dragon Age game at PAX East, and even asked for feedback on the series from fans. After all that, BioWare has finally announced the next installment in fantasy RPG series, Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.
"The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now," said Aaryn Flynn, general manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal. "We've been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven't held back, so we're not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they're asking for--a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral."
The game will use DICE's Frostbite 2 engine, and is expected to come out in late 2013. Curiously, no platforms were mentioned in the release. Executive Producer Mark Darrah said in a post on the official blog that they still have nothing to show, but fans can expect "a more expansive world, better visuals, more reactivity to player choices, and more customization."

ELMONT, N.Y. – Godolphin Racing's multiple Grade 1 winner It's Tricky has been retired with an injury to her right hind ankle, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin announced Saturday afternoon.
The 4-year-old Mineshaft filly sustained the beginnings of a condylar fracture to the ankle during a bullet five-furlong breeze Thursday morning as she prepared for the Breeders' Cup next month at Santa Anita, said the trainer.
First, second or third in all but one of her 14 career starts, It's Tricky notched her first Grade 1 victory in last June's TVG Acorn at Belmont Park and a month later added a second in the TVG Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga Race Course. Second in the Grade 1 TVG Alabama and the Grade 2 Cotillion, she concluded her 3-year-old campaign by finishing second behind eventual 3-Year-Old Filly champion Royal Delta in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic.
It's Tricky opened her 2012 campaign with a pair of Grade 2 victories at Aqueduct Racetrack in the Top Flight and Distaff Handicaps, and added a third Grade 1 when she rallied to take the Ogden Phipps Handicap on May 28 at Belmont. A gallant third in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign Invitational Handicap at Saratoga after stumbling at the start, she finished second to Royal Delta in the Grade 1 Beldame Invitational on September 29 in her most recent outing.
"She was a real star," said McLaughlin of the filly, who had her quirks and often proved difficult to saddle early in her career. "Even though she was tricky, she was a barn favorite, because there were so many people involved with her because of that. She was highly thought of and respected in our organization. Grade 1s are hard to win and she was a multiple Grade 1 winner."
McLaughlin said It's Tricky, who retired with a record of 8-4-1 with earnings of $1,666,500, would depart for Lexington, Ky., in a week or so.

"This pie is so good!!"
"Cream cheese mixture needs something..... A slash of lemon juice or almond extract along with the vanilla or a small layer of whipped topping also splash the top with Redi Whip in random spots. Or as one comment said add a I'm going to say a thin layer of strawberry glaze to the top of the cream cheese mixture / something anyone of the above or all of the above would make this pie much better then it is. I would also definitely double the chocolate amt called for. I don't know where this pie won it's prize to be a prize winning recipe but it is definitely lacking as is. But it does have possibilities. The strawberry jam is what makes it! I am a great baker if I do say so myself so I do know what I am talking about with my suggestions. A small amount of peach nectar could also be used in the cream cheese mixture to make this recipe really pop!!!"
"I have made this many times. I didn't always have the strawberry jam so I used the strawberry glaze that you can purchase in the produce department. Like the creator of this recipe, people always ask me for the recipe after they tell me how much they love the pie!"
"Follow the directions to a t! I tried to add a lil more choc.the crust. It made it a little bit hard to cut for even pieces. But tasted amazing!!"
"Every year I pick at least 60 lbs. of strawberries. There is only 2 pies that I have been making and this is one of them. And know i'm deciding there is more different ones out there to try. This strawberry lover's pie is my favorite, by far"
"What an awesome pie! I have been making it for 17 years! I usually double the filling. I use a premade graham crust & have used frozen mixed berries - always turns out wonderful!"
"I have made this pie many times and we always enjoy it. The chocolate does make it a bit difficult to cut the pie, but the flavor makes up for it. I do find that if the pie sits overnight (which is not specified or required), the berries do tend to "weep" a bit and the jam topping tends to liquefy. Still, the flavor is good enough to overlook that, in my opinion. It definitely is better if you can prepare and serve it all in the same day."
"This is supposedly a "prize winning recipe", and "quick". In my experience making this recipe, it is neither. If it is prize winning, it is based on appearance only.A waste of time and ingredients. It turned to a liquid mush in my refrigerator over night."
