Janine R's parents knew they needed help by the time they first met with Center for Social Change. They had already arranged privately for someone to care for Janine but, especially in light of some health issues they were experiencing, they were relieved when State funding finally became available to help support Janine. They recall that the administrator they met at Center for Social Change took the time to answer their questions, showed them around the homes that Janine might be able to move into, and allowed them to meet the direct support staff and individuals in those homes. When they saw how well the staff cared for the individuals in the homes, they were confident that Janine would be well supported at CSC.
Over the years, her parents report, Janine has achieved significant successes. They derive great satisfaction in their observations that Janine no longer expresses a need to run away as she had in the past, or threatens to hurt herself or others. They see their daughter as having developed some order in her life with the help of the staff at CSC, something that gives them deep feelings of relief. They note with satisfaction that Janine likes almost everyone at CSC- the staff that support her, the individuals, and the drivers who transport her. And they easily notice that Janine is much less likely to argue about things as she had in the past.
They are also pleased that skills that Janine had once had, but that she had apparently lost, have been re-gained during the time she has been at CSC. They note that she is knitting again, and working with her hands in ways that she had when she was younger, but had stopped. And, they report being particularly pleased by Janine's once again demonstrating the good manners that they had instilled her, but which she had, for some long period of time, seemed to have abandoned.
What makes them most proud, however, is that during their typically once a month visits, Janine is seldom not happy.
When Janine was younger, her parents were not certain about the level of independence she would achieve. However, they are greatly comforted by the degree of independence that their daughter is able to demonstrate. There was a time in the past that she really could not function independently, but Janine has made great strides since those days.
Her parents believe that, if asked, Janine would say that what gives her the most satisfaction is her enjoyment in being with others, of developing social relations with those around her, and of being a help-mate to those who need help. Janine's parents are very proud of how Janine often becomes a "second pair of hands" in assistance to staff in her home. In short, Janine's future continues to look bright.

Join host John Green to learn about the Little Ice Age, a period of global cooling that occurred from the 13th to the 19th centuries. This cooling was likely caused by a number of factors, including unusual solar activity and volcanic eruptions. The Little Ice Age greatly impacted human social orders, especially during the 17th century. When the climate changed, and weather became unpredictable, the world changed profoundly. Poor harvests led to hunger, which led to even less productivity, which even resulted in violent upheaval in many regions.

My daughter Kylie started Pre-K this week. It is hard to believe that in another year she will be in Kindergarten!
Like most families, it is hard to get back into a routine once school starts again. Over the summer Kylie learned how to play computer games. If she is anything like her dad (and me!) she will want to play on the computer all the time! I also let her watch more TV than I should have over the summer. Since we are back in school, I wanted to schedule certain times during the day that are only for "Screen Time".
I've been trying to teach Kylie that watching TV and playing on the computer are privileges...not a right that she is entitled to. She has been having a hard time understanding that concept. I decided to create a "Screen Time" chart. I only put "TV" and "Computer" time on it for now since those are the screens she likes the most. I decided to allow her 30 minutes of TV and computer each in the morning (before lunch) and 30 minutes of each in the afternoon (after lunch)...2 hours total a day at the most. The days Kylie goes to preschool she does not get any screen time in the morning, just in the afternoon after school.
I put the chart on the refrigerator and Kylie marks an "X" in the box under the day of the week she watched TV or played on the computer. There is one chart for the morning and one for the afternoon. Once the chart has an "X" in all 4 boxes under that day of the week....screen time is over for that day. Kylie is learning not to ask for more screen time...I will say NO! I feel the visual has really helped her understand. It was a struggle before when I asked her to turn off the TV...I didn't want to deal with any more tantrums over watching TV or playing computer games!
I also have to set a good example when I use the computer or watch TV. If I am on the computer or my smart phone too much during the day I am not giving my full attention to my children. Facebook and other social media sites can consume so much of our time. I admit I struggle with putting my phone down and ignoring unimportant emails and notifications during the day with my children. I want my children to know I have their full attention when they are talking to me...not a screen!! Maybe I need to create my own "Screen Time" chart?!

Plated Hole Repair, No Inner Layer Connection
Eyelet Selection Criteria
ID - Inside Diameter
The eyelet inside diameter should be a .075 - .500 mm (.003"-.020") greater than the component lead diameter.
LUF - Length Under Flange
The length of the eyelet barrel under the flange should be .630 - .890 mm (.025" - 035") greater than the thickness of the circuit board. This added length allows for proper protrusion when setting the eyelet.
FD - Flange Diameter
The eyelet flange diameter should be small enough to prevent interference with adjacent lands or circuits.
OD - Outside Diameter
The clearance hole drilled through the circuit board should allow the eyelet to be inserted without force but should not exceed .125 mm (.005") greater than the eyelet outside diameter.
Be sure to select an eyelet meeting the proper criteria. An eyelet with an oversize flange may interfere with adjacent circuits. An eyelet that is too short will not protrude through the circuit board for proper setting.

(Testosterone Cypionate &Propionate + DHEA)
Effective Dose (Men): 200-2000mg+ week.
Effective Dose (Women): Not recommended
Active life: 12 days.
Detection Time: Up to 3 months
Anabolic/Androgenic ratio: 100/100.
Manufacturer: Atlantis, MX 120mg/2m1
Effective Dose (Women): Not recommended
Average Active Life: +/- 1-1.5 weeks
2ml of Sten contains:
- 25 mg testosterone propionate,
- 75mg testosterone Cypionate and
- 20mg DHEA
Sten, another blended steroid, is similar to Testoviron, but it has different dosing with the addition of DHEA. Specifically, this blend is made up of testosterone propionate and testosterone cypionate, as well as a steroid called dehydroepiandrosterone, or better known as DHEA. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex as well as the brain. Some of this hormone is actually converted to testosterone in males and estrodiol in women (1).
The function of DHEA in the body is not clearly understood. For starters, unlike testosterone, there is no receptor for DHEA or its close relative DHEAS. It is also non anabolic receptor mediated, meaning its action has nothing to do with the anabolic receptors in your body.
For starters, Dehydroepiandrosterone is well known to decrease body fat significantly (3)(4). It has been shown to reduce both abdominal fat as well as visceral fat (5). This makes Sten a very exciting drug, as it contains a steroidal fat-burner as well as a short and long acting testosterone.
Obviously, Sten also contains testosterone, so it would be appropriate to have a brief review of that compound as well. Testosterone is known to cause strength and muscle growth. The most obvious mechanism by which testosterone induces muscle growth is that it promotes nitrogen retention in the muscle (6) and the more nitrogen the muscle holds, the more protein the muscle stores. Testosterone can also increase the levels of another anabolic hormone, IGF-1, in muscle tissue (7). This hormone is the mediator of Growth Hormone and also (as the name implies) causes muscle growth. Testosterone can help protect your hard earned muscle from the catabolic (muscle wasting) glucocorticoid hormones (11), thus inhibiting the actions of them. Testosterone has the ability to increase red-blood cell production (12), and a higher RBC count may improve endurance by highly oxygenating the blood going to your muscles. More highly oxygenated blood in your muscles will improve recovery from strenuous physical activity.
Sten would be used very similar to a Sustanon-type blend. Sten is not nearly as common as it was 5 years ago, but it can still be found in some parts, especially Mexico. Male users would want to take a dosage range of 200-400mg/wk for an effective range. Intermediate users would use a dosage of 400-800mg/wk, while advanced users could go as high as 1000mg/wk. This compound should not be recommended to women even in low doses; although the more adventurous women I know have tried 1/2 an amp/week of it. Remember ladies, testosterone has very strong virilizing properties in women such as deepened voice, increased body hair, acne, and clitoral hypertrophy.
The testosterone contained in Sten can be converted to other unwanted by-products also. The 5-alpha-reductase enzyme can convert the testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, or as its better known, DHT. DHT is responsible for men's hairloss and for prostate hypertrophy. Anti-DHT drugs such as Finasteride can be taken to block this conversion and offset most of the possible side effects. Some men will be much more genetically prone for hair loss, which will greatly magnify the effects of DHT.
A second by-product produced by exogenous testosterone administration is, of course, estrogen. The aromatase enzyme can convert testosterone into estrogen. The rate in which it converts will vary depending on the dose and will vary from person to person. The top symptoms include bloating, gynecomastia, elevated blood pressure, acne, and increase in cholesterol levels. To combat this, the use of anti-estrogen compounds is highly recommended.
Users of this compound report great gains with testosterone in general. It can be used in cycles planned to gain mass or lose fat. Gains usually come quickly and are maintained well with proper post cycle preventions.
Testosterone is usually considered the base compound of any cycle. After all, it is the primary anabolic hormone in the male body. For this reason, Sten can be stacked with any other compound desired. The most popular combinations are with Dianabol, Equipoise, Deca, or Trenbolone.
Sten contains only natural hormones. Partly for this reason, the drugs contained in Sten are only detectable for approximately 3 months. This makes Sten a good choice for those who are only seasonally tested.
Although a blend of esters, the longest active life is reported to be just around 2-3 weeks. The length of this life is attributed to the testosterone cypionate contained in Sten. Ideally, Sten should be injected at least every third day in order to properly utilize the testosterone propionate in it while giving stable levels of testosterone in the blood.
This is for several reasons a highly recommended product. For starters, there are absolutely zero known fakes of this product. The second reason is that it's absurdly cheap; you can get 200mgs of testosterone, plus 40mgs of the fat-burning DHEA, for half the price of an amp of Sustanon.

Manila Businessman Finds Niche In Malls for Discount Shoppers
MANILA -- When Jose Go built his first mall here in 1989, he didn't pick the upscale Makati district or the fast-rising business center Ortigas.
Instead he opened Ever Gotesco Grand Central in decidedly dowdy Kalookan. There he found his market: bargain shoppers looking for very low-priced clothes, household wares and other basic goods.

Thank you all for your words of comfort and support.
Although living out where I do I'm far from coworkers and family, with virtual friends like you, I feel I'm just across the street from the best support group possible. I just need to reach out and you're all right there. It's a nice, safe, comfortable feeling.
And yeah, EE, I guess dads always think their daughters are pretty perfect. Thanks for helping me remember that.

Diana's White House Garden by Elisa Carbone is a true story about Diana Hopkins , the ten year old child who lived in the White House during the term of President Roosevelt. Back in 1943, Diana lived in the White House with her father, Harry Hopkins who was the chief adviser to President Roosevelt. During World War II, the White House was a a very busy time for both her father, the President and rest of the country. Diana wanted to help with the war efforts. However, each idea she had ended in disaster, especially the time when she put pins all over the seats in the White House to protect them against enemies!
One day President Roosevelt proposed an idea to Diana's father. He wanted the US soldiers to eat food directly from the farmers because he wanted his army to be healthy and strong. Roosevelt also wanted the civilians to grow their own food and convert backyards, lots and other spaces into gardens. This effort would not only help the US soldiers, but it would also encourage US civilians to eat healthy and support the farmers.
To begin this process, Roosevelt wanted to start his own Victory Garden at the White House. Diana volunteered to help with this effort. After some failed attempts and lots of help from the first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, Diana learned how to grow a beautiful garden full of fruits and vegetables. Her effort and hard work was noticed by the press and she was recognized as a contributor towards the war effort. Diana couldn't be more proud!
There are multiple learning opportunities when reading Diana's White House Garden. As you are reading this book to your child, explain various concepts that may be unfamiliar such as war, quarantine, air raid shelter and war bonds. Explaining the concept of a war can be complex but keeping it simple can help a child understand why Diana would want to be a part of helping the soldiers. For some tips on how to explain war to your children, click here. Ask your child, "What did Diana do to try to help contribute?", "Why was the garden called the Victory Garden?" Explaining unfamiliar vocabulary as you are reading can help a child understand the definition more readily. When you done reading the story, review the words again and then try to use them in a different context. For example, when someone wins a game in your house, you can use the word "victory" again. This can help a child understand the word more consistently.
Discuss President Roosevelt and use this as an opportunity to teach your child about different presidents. What number president was Roosevelt? How long was Roosevelt president?

RYE, N.Y. -- A Norwalk man pleaded guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide and one count of driving while intoxicated Wednesday for killing a passenger in his car after hitting a stationary Department of Transportation truck on Interstate 95 in Rye last year, according to Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore.
Jose Ramirez, 24, was traveling north on I-95 near the intersection of Interstate 287 at approximately 90 mph on Feb. 28 last year. Ramirez slammed into a stationary DOT truck, causing it to flip over. The driver of the DOT truck sustained serious injuries, the district attorney said.
Kellman Villa-Santos, a passenger in Ramirez' vehicle, died as a result of his injuries. Emmanuel Gonzalez, the backseat passenger, suffered a traumatic brain injury, paralysis, loss of memory and a host of other injuries as a result of the accident, the district attorney said.
Ramirez was taken to the hospital, where a blood test revealed his blood alcohol content to be .14 percent.
He will be sentenced on Aug. 27 and faces up to 25 years in prison.

Picture this, a scene from an epic,
beamed with a light so intense that it triggers epileptics-
into the modern day, fine art with a modern sway,
reaches out and touches the dead speaking to them inaudibly.
Whispering winds animate atrophied limbs,
when the sublties of all that is lovely begin settling in-
and taking root, the root cause of joy speaking in mute,
spoke quietly of itself like air passes through flutes.
Beautiful; pictures worth a thousands of words living on easels,
spring to life like soil life when light lays waste to the evil-
that being the darkness, colors of grey give a shade it's carcass,
in the wake of it's destruction divinity choirs a string of notes like a harp is;
That's what the heart is.

I like measuring things. And I hate loose definitions like "not too much". How much is not too much? Thus when I decided to check my Garrett T2 turbo before putting it back.
Things to check:
- excess oil in air outlet. Some oil will always be there from breather, but too much might indicate leaking turbo. And that is a small problem which can lead to a large one: engine runaway.
- shaft is turning freely, without noise, sticking, touching anything.
- axial play (forward-backward). For T2 it should be 0.025 – 0.084 mm. I measured it to be roughly 0.07 mm. Such play is virtually unnoticeable by hand.
Axial play measurement. Pull shaft out, zero dial and push it.
- radial play (to sides). Should be 0.056 – 0.127 mm, but can be bit higher as long as vanes are not hitting anything and turning freely. Push axis to one side and use clearance gauge to measure distance to turbo side, then push it to other side and measure again. Difference is the clearance you are looking for.
- wastegate operation. It should move freely.
That's about it. Please feel free to comment, correct and/or supplement.

Best trip ever! Hands down. I just finished a Magic Bus trip in December, it was amazing. You can do or see pretty much everything with them. I'm 21 and female, and I felt completely safe travelling the country alone with them. I really enjoyed the Beautiful beaches plus any adventure type thing you would want to do. NZ has to be the Best place for bungee-jumping in the world. I love how LOTR was filmed here, as well as Narnia!
So much to do and see! I can't wait to go back. Definitely check them out. Everyone was super friendly and I had tons of options - where to sleep, travel, deals on things to do. The bus drivers are really awesome and really know their stuff.
I had an awesome time in New Zealand. I spent the first few weeks in Auckland at a great hostel down on fort street called the Fat Camel, this place had the best atmosphere ever. When I returned to Auckland I spent a night in the Fusion Flashpackers and to be honest it wasn't worth the extra $2!! No atmosphere, rude staff and not a wink sleep due to the so called nightclub.Posted by Leon Jones, 19th July 2009
Spent 4 weeks in the NZ... The best word of advice is to ride the Flying kiwi bus tour!!! I think they have a web site you can check out.... also rent a car on the south island and tour around the northeast edge of the coast line... Awesome trip, great for singles and couples...Posted by Thomas, 13th February 2008
Information about travelling to Rotorua in the North Island and staying at Kiwi Paka on 60 Tarewa Road.
I stayed in a twin private Chalet - Chalets being the most expensive (and I assumed best) accommodation on the premises. The shower had no pressure and was either freezing or boiling. I asked the reception staff to fix it. When I returned to the hostel in the evening it wasn't fixed, a lady at reception said she sent the maintenance guy over and the shower's working fine and I just need to learn how to use it. When I said I've been using showers for 25 years she replied she's done her utmost best, that she knows nothing about showers and if the maintenance guy says it's ok there's nothing more she can do (although she never went to check herself).
The ceilings are paper thin and sleeping is impossible when people walk or make noise upstairs. The kitchen's much too small for the amount of people staying there, and unlike normal hostels that provide all the utensils and cutlery, you get a tray that you have to pick up and return every time you want to eat something, but, the people at reception will continue answering the phones and doing work on the computer even if you've been standing there for 10 minutes. They'll just keep answering phone calls and you won't get a chance to speak until the phone stops ringing, which is quite ironic as I'd been told to call back later when I originally called to book. I decided not to stay a further night and the staff sneered at me when I was getting my key deposit back.
New Zealand was so great, everywhere you went there were mountains and breathtaking scenery! South Island was awesome, you have to make a glacier climb/hike a must!! Definately the highlight.Posted by Stephanie Peters, 28th December 2006

Interfaith Music Festival beings faiths together

The sounds of faith could be heard coming from the St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Cottonwood Heights on Sunday, April 30, and not just from members of the congregation. The Sandy Arts Guild held their annual Interfaith Music Festival, inviting faith choirs from all over the Salt Lake Valley to perform their sacred music.
"Coming together with other faiths, singing, to get to sing our songs, but also to see the different flavor of other churches and other faiths come out," said Jana Emmer, director of the Draper Single Adults Ward LDS Choir, which was formed in August of 2016. "It was just an honor to participate. We loved being here. It was really a lovely experience, and then it's just fun to come together at the end and sing a really inspiring song with so many choirs and just a resounding, powerful ending. It was just a great way to end the night.
The Interfaith Music Festival began in 1995, with various local choirs coming together to share their favorite songs of religious worship. This year featured the music from the St. Thomas More Catholic Church Choir, the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Choir, the Draper Singles Ward LDS Choir, the St. John the Baptist Catholic Choir, the Hilltop United Methodist Chancel Choir, and a special guest — the Hillcrest High School Vocal Ensemble from the Canyons School District, who invited school alumni in the audience to join in on one song.
"We were all just here to sing together, we all had one common goal," said Mikayla Forbes, a senior at Hillcrest High School. "I thought it was cool that no one had issues with each other. I think it was a pleasant surprise for everybody that everyone knew the music. We all sounded really good together."
Members of the groups also took the opportunity to speak to others about local organizations in need of caring, compassionate help.
"We work with Family Promise," said Ken Baum, guitarist for the Good Shepherd Lutheran Choir. "A bunch of churches got together and house the homeless for a week, and then they go to another church for a week. The whole idea is not just to give them a place to crash but we also, during the day, try and help them get jobs, get them to whatever agencies they need to help get them back on their feet."
Choir members across the several faiths seemed eager to set aside differences in favor of joy and musically coming together, which included ending as a complete group singing "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing," directed by ReNae Dalgleish, the director of choirs and orchestras at Hillcrest High and member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
"The thing about this event," said Emily Emmer, a member of the Draper LDS Choir, "was that the repertoire, although it was different across the different faiths, it was so similar too. You could see different choirs picking up different sings from the other choirs and it was a really good reminder that we're all in the same faith journey. We have different ways of expressing it, but we are all searching for truth and comfort and love and from the same source."
Many who had never attended the Interfaith Music Festival before came away feeling enriched by the experience.
"This is my first time," said Lisa Baptiste, whose daughter has been performing with Hillcrest for two years. "It was wonderful. I think it's very good that all the different faiths could get together and worship together and sing together."
The Hillcrest High School Vocal Ensemble was also there to celebrate being invited to perform at Carnegie Hall, the premier concert venue in New York, in 2018.
"I'm excited for the younger kids because it's so cool," said Forbes. "All the hard work that went into it. It's going to be so much fun."
The Sandy Arts Guild is gearing up for their 2017 summer concert series at Sandy Amphitheater, as well as the upcoming auditions for their big summer musical, "Beauty and the Beast," in August. The Sandy Arts Guild will also be holding an Art in the Garden Sego Lily Plein Air Quick Draw event at the Sego Lily Gardens (1472 Sego Lily Dr., Sandy) on Saturday, June 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Full Disclosure by Kindle Alexander
I think it is safe to say that every single person who loves Kindle Alexander has been waiting patiently, or not, for this book the minute we finished reading Double Full, the 1st book in the Nice Guys series. I knew Mitch was coming. I knew he would be next to tell his story. What I didn't know was how much he was going to make me smile and how much I was going to fall in love with him.
Kindle has a very unique writing style. She has a way of putting emotions on a page that will wrap around your heart for the duration. She has a way of pulling you inside the story. Sometimes, you may sit back quietly and observe, but most of the time you are a full, out loud and proud, cheerleader. Whether you realize or not, expressing your own feelings cannot be contained. Others question your behaviour. They want to know what is so funny, why do you keep smiling over there behind that reader? Why are you crying?
There is no simple answer for those who have no clue. It's an obsession, always needing more, one is not enough. You are racing to the finish to see what happens, and at the same time, you don't want to start because it may be over before you are ready to leave it behind. Once it's in your hand, the pull is magnetic, no holds barred, going in guns blazing. Everyone stay back and leave me alone, it's here, and it's mine.
We were introduced to Mitch in Double Full. If you remember, heh…..of course you remember, Mitch is the son of Dr. Knox, Doctor and long-time friend of Colt. He has been working the case for months now, trying to find who or what is/was behind the murders, including Colt's near death experience, at the hands of these evil human beings. He is having a hard time getting a lucky break. His department doesn't want to lend man hours towards something. They feel does not warrant that type of coverage, for now.
That doesn't stop whoever is killing innocent people, they continue, no doubt, thinking they are free and clear. With their next move, they messed up. Perhaps riding their cockiness too far, they left a witness. He should have died, was supposed to die. He didn't die. He came very close though and unfortunately, for the investigation, he can't remember. Mitch has been called in to consult. Finally, everyone is taking this mayhem seriously. Hopefully, they will find their killer before anyone else falls victim to their evil ways.
In a different department, in a completely different state, Texas State Trooper, Cody Turner is celebrating. Finally, a life- long dream of being a Texas Ranger is happening. Being forced to take a vacation before the new job, Cody decides to have a drink or two, in celebration of his hard work paying off. Who knows, maybe even find someone to share his bed for the night. About to give up on finding a sex buddy he happens to look up and see the sexiest man he has ever laid eyes upon, standing in front of him. Tats everywhere, muscles bulging, and dimples that will mesmerize you.
Completely enamoured, Cody gets a little tongue-tied. His shyness is working overtime, and a blush has covered his face. In a familiar move, he reaches up and pulls down his baseball hat in an effort to conceal his expressions. Just the opposite, thank goodness, Mitch has no trouble expressing his wants. And he wants Cody, refuses to take NO for an answer and pulls him to the dance floor. Unfortunately, this night will not go as planned. Mitch has a deep desire running through his blood and it has everything to do with Cody Turner. But first, duty calls, and walking away is one of the hardest things Mitch has ever done.
Pursuing Cody is one of the highlights in Mitch's life right now. Working the investigation, devoting all his hours to the search, leaves little time to get to know Cody or spend any time with him. Coming up with ways to talk and relieve some stress, has been a challenge for Mitch. Mainly getting Cody to relax enough to be a willing participant has Mitch exposing himself In more ways than one. Instigating phone sex or show me yours, I'll show you mine over Skype will have to work for now. It's not long before Cody is shouting Mitch's name by way of cybersex and it is so very hot and sexy.
Mitch and Cody realize they have a connection. Their chemistry is off the charts, and for the first time, maybe ever, Mitch wants to share his life and bed with someone permanently. He is falling fast for Cody, and all of sudden he realizes the job is not as important as it used to be. Does Cody feel the same way? Is he looking for a commitment or just a little fun under the sheets?
Mitch is a strong-willed, hardheaded man. It's not part of his gene pool to let the chips lay where they fall. Nope, he wants Cody and Cody he will have. Watching him implement his plan will have you smiling from ear to ear. They share so much passion and emotion when they are together. The sex is hot, fierce, wicked, and best of all, plentiful. One minute they are going at it rough, hard and fast. The next minute, they will be slow, smooth, and passionate. It's no longer just sex, they are making love. It is beautiful to witness, and brings so much joy to you, the reader. They are going to make it work, they have too. The pleasure is intense, the feelings are real.
Leaving Cody behind to head back to his job is testing Mitch's strength and composure. Cody has blind-sided him with feelings he didn't know he had. Mitch is closing in on the suspect but what happens if Cody is now in the line of fire? Never, ever did Mitch think his own family or loved ones were in the face of danger. Is it possible Mitch could have made the biggest mistake of his life and career? Has he put Cody in harm's way? Be prepared to hold on to the edge of your seat.
As your knuckles turn white from holding on so tight and tears fall from your eyes, will evil prevail or will Mitch be the knight in shining armour? It's a race, fellow Kindle lovers, and all I can say is hold on tight because the ride is swift. The experience is powerful, the journey is mind blowing. You will not be the same when you finish. Other books no longer compare. It is worth the ride because even though the mountains are high, and the valleys are low, once it straightens out, WOW, so SO beautiful.
Thank you Kindle Alexander for another gift of the heart. From your heart to ours, we will cherish it forever. In Double Full, we played football. In Full Disclosure, we must be playing baseball. Kindle Alexander has just hit a home run as she knocks this one out of the park.

Burn Noticed
"International Burn A Koran Day" at his tiny FL church on 9/11 is the notoriety that the national media is so readily handing to him. With seemingly round-the-clock coverage breathlessly weighing the "will he/won't he" question, you'd think this guy is a legitimate, mainstream figure and not a fringe character with a history of extremist rhetoric. Why bother? In my view, the only way to respond to such rampant stupidity is to mock it mercilessly, which I was all set to do last night until Jon Stewart tackled the subject on his show, stealing most of my thunder right out from under me. So, well, just watch this:

The trip to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore to witness an event that has been inaccessible since 2009 was planned pretty quick after the "ice caves" were deemed open to the public on January 17, 2014. This 1000+ mile round trip club event is the first of its kind for the South Bend Adventure Club, and was a lot of fun for the four members that ventured out into the cold of Northern Wisconsin.
We learned that the caves were nearly opened last year, however, during the last day of a two week wait for the ice to be frozen solid strong winds tore the ice apart and whisked it away. These aren't caves in the same sense that you'd find in Southern Indiana or Kentucky, but caves formed by water freezing upon rock formations along the National Lakeshore on the Wisconsin border of Lake Superior.
The four adventurers managed to leave town a little early, enabling them to do a historic tour of the "Best Place" Pabst Blue Ribbon Historic Tour in downtown Milwaukee. We all agreed this is one of the best brewery tours we'd seen. It had more of a focus on the history and the "tour" guide was down to earth, friendly, and obviously enjoyed his work there. The focus is on historic preservation and the tour was fascinating.
We then stayed at the home of an extended family member of the group where we had wonderful spaghetti for dinner and got a good nights rest – much needed as we needed to leave by five am for the drive north to the Apostle Islands (a five hour drive.) We arrived to a nearly full lot at Meyers Beach, put on our gear and hit the ice.
What an amazing scene. It was a 1.3 mile trek to the first formations, and then we covered a mile or two on the lakeshore and the 1.3 mile trek back to the parking lot. There were people of all ages out on the ice, as well as a few furry dogs. The way the ice hung on the rock was gorgeous. The rock itself was impressive, and all the trees, and tree roots that survive, grow, and thrive despite the cold. There were nooks and crannies, passages, ice stalagmites and stalactites. The color in the ice itself changed from white, clear, red, rust, to purple and even gray. It was a chilling hike, but we were prepared with extra cold gear and crampons. After about 4 hours of hiking around on the ice we headed back to the car for our five hour drive back to central Wisconsin.
On the way we stopped in Ashland, WI at Deepwater Grill & Brewery. The local beer was tasty as was the dinner. Two of us had a crazy ruben sandwich that consisted of typical ruben ingredients between two pumpernickel and swiss grilled cheese sandwiches.
We spent another night with our wonderful hosts (who also cooked us a spectacular scrambled egg, toast and bacon breakfast,) before heading back to Indiana after a snow emergency had been declared for the area. Luckily, we left late enough to let the snow plows do their job and ran into minimal slow downs on the Indiana Toll Road.
The trip couldn't have gone better and was quite possibly a once in a lifetime experience for all of us. I doubt any of us could have found a better way to explore this area of the country at this time of year.

Mary Beth Nebel, Ph.D.
Kennedy Krieger Institute, Room 311
716 N. Broadway
Baltimore, MD 21205
Phone: (443) 923-9257
Email: email@example.com
Dr. Mary Beth Nebel is a research scientist in the Center for Neurodevelopmental and Imaging Research at Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI). Mary Beth also holds an appointment as an instructor in the Department of Neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Dr. Nebel obtained a B.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering from the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University and went on to pursue her doctoral degree in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. After completing a post-doctoral fellowship in the Laboratory for Neurocognitive and Imaging Research at KKI from 2010-2015, Dr. Nebel joined the faculty at Kennedy Krieger in the Center for Neurodevelopmental and Imaging Research as a research scientist and instructor.
Dr. Nebel's broad research interests include examining how the brain dynamically interprets sensory information to produce appropriate actions and how this process is altered in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). She has focused on developing innovative and reliable methods for using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data to characterize the functional organization of the brain and has applied these methods to show how alterations in functional connectivity between visual and motor brain regions contribute to impaired motor and social skill performance in school-age children with ASD. As part of her NIMH funded Career Development Award (K01 MH109766-01), Dr. Nebel is extending these findings to study the longitudinal development of visual-motor connectivity and hand-eye coordination in infants at high risk for ASD to determine whether the abnormalities observed in school-age children come online before or after core symptom onset. She is also collaborating with researchers at KKI on developing movement-based intervention methods for enhancing functional connectivity between visual and motor brain regions critical for imitating, and learning from, the actions of others.

Erik keeping his feet on the ground
10 September 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Erik Lamela refuses to get carried away after his fine start to the season continued on the international stage.
The winger returned to the Training Centre on Monday after playing a key role in Argentina's 4-2 friendly win against Germany last week.
Erik dispatched a sublime volley to make it 2-0 on the night as Argentina shocked the World champions by racing into a 4-0 lead in Dusseldorf.
Back to full fitness after an injury-hit first campaign at Spurs, Erik has impressed in our opening five fixtures in all competitions, not least with double assists in the wins against QPR and AEL.
"I'm happy because it was my first goal for Argentina and even happier because we won the game," said Erik.
"It's one goal, it was special, but it's just one goal and I will keep my feet on the ground.
"To win 4-2 against Germany, the World champions, is a special result. It was great to be part of it."
Erik was with the first batch of our players to return from international duty this week - alongside our Belgian trio of Nacer Chadli, Mousa Dembele and Jan Vertonghen - and is now fully focused our return to Premier League action at Sunderland on Saturday (3pm).
"We will need to show good personality and character at Sunderland and I hope we win this game," he added.

Last week, it was revealed that Volkswagen (VW) fitted special, duplicitous software into its diesel-powered cars in order to fool US regulators. In an outrageous play, the software would sense if the car was being lab-tested and would automatically adjust the diesel engine to lower its emissions. Meanwhile, in normal use outside of the lab, VW engines could run along, undetected, producing much bigger emissions.
VW, the world's leading car manufacturer, now faces billions of dollars in fines. It has lost both its CEO and its whole reputation as an eco-friendly car firm. Its shares have plummeted. VW must now also recall 11million vehicles worldwide, and change them in ways that will lower fuel economy and the amount of luggage space they have at their backs.
Feeling vindicated, glib commentators have wheeled out their familiar explanations of how all this came about.
For Oxford economist Will Hutton, a darling of the liberal left, VW shows what happens when a company's executives make its share price their god. What we need, instead, is 'mutual responsibility between firms and society – a moral ethic that must inform unions, regulators, shareholders and systems of corporate governance alike'.
For Greenpeace, however, a more corrupt kind of 'mutual responsibility' is already present. With a 2014 expenditure of up to €18.5million set aside for lobbying the EU, the European car industry, Greenpeace says, has reverted to type. Carmakers bribe regulators, it says; VW alone spent €3.3million on Brussels, employing 43 lobbyists.

Sergio Perez has been voted by F1 fans worldwide as the Monaco GP's Driver of the Day.
The Force India driver started seventh but worked his way up to third with good strategy calls, and he was able to overcome strong pressure from Sebastian Vettel in the second half of the race.
"It's definitely a very special podium," said the Mexican. "Under normal conditions we wouldn't make it to the podium in normal pace. We don't have the pace to do it. Certainly in these conditions it is one of my best races in Formula One. Conditions out there were extremely difficult. So easy to make a mistake -- at every corner towards the end, every single lap you have to be really focussed. In the dry! You cannot imagine in that damp conditions."
More from FoxSports
Perez said the team got the strategy calls right: "Every stop that we had was key for our podium. The first one, by delaying it, I was coming into the pits to fit the Inter tyies and I ask in Turn 15 "how are the Inters doing?" they told me "not that good, it's your call." I decided I'd like to go a couple of laps more and that worked really well because we managed to jump Hulkenberg and another one. That really was key for our race.
"Then we came together with Sainz into the pits and my team did a fantastic stop, so we managed to overtake him in the pitlane, and then the decisive moment was the last one. The last stop. Going to the slick tire. Pitting one lap before Rosberg and Vettel we managed to jump them and that was very, very good. It was difficult to be out there on the slick tire and not to make a mistake. Then towards the end I had pressure from Vettel.
"I knew it was going to be very long stint on the soft so I was looking after my tires, especially in these cold conditions. It worked really well. I felt that I had Vettel under control, and it is a fantastic result. For the whole team. Everyone at my team deserves this one. I think we did the best job out there today. For us it means a win."

Albany Hill consists of a series of short trails through Albany Park with fantastic views of the SF Bay, Berkeley Hills and downtown Oakland. It is surrounded by a residential neighborhood so I just parked in the surrounding area then ran to the top and did a series of loops. The trails were still a bit muddy from the recent rain but the views were gorgeous. I could not believe I hadn't been to this place after living in the east bay for almost a year. There is a bench and rope swing at the top. I wouldn't come here to get a long hike in but it's a nice place for a walk or quick run with hills. Will definitely be back.
I'm giving this two stars because 1) The directions sent me to a place that had zero parking and 2) once I found parking, I had to cross a creek. When I crossed the creek, I found that I had to cross it again to start the actual trail. I chose to attempt this trail after all the rain we've been having this winter so I'm sure it's easier to access at other times of the year, but I couldn't even get up there because there was so much flowing water to cross! I had my boy on my back in a kelty pack so I didn't feel safe crossing again.
I will update my review once I've actually been able to get there. I was super bummed.

Looking for a Good Music Venue? Here are 4 Things You Must Consider
Are you looking for a good music venue for your next event? Choosing one can be quite difficult, especially if your area has a lot of them. Nowadays, music venues pop up practically everywhere and offer live musical entertainment every night (most of them, anyway). If you are to choose one that stands out, there are four factors you need to keep in mind.
1. The size of the venue.
Your event will be for a specific group or crowd, so you must have an idea of how many people will be joining it. This is what you use to determine whether a music venue suits your needs or not. You have to make sure that you book a venue that can accommodate all your guests comfortably. Don't settle for one that can squeeze in 50 people is they are seated as close to each other as possible. There has to be a little allowance. So if you're looking to invite 50 people, look for a venue that can take in at least 6o to 65 people.
2. Look for a venue that caters to your target age group.
Unless your event is for adults only, you should consider booking a venue that is open to all ages. But if you are targeting an adult crowd, go for a venue that caters to the 18 and above crowd, or maybe even the 21 and above audience group.
3. Look for a venue that has a music-related theme or a musical feel.
Choose a music venue that has a music-related feel or theme. You wouldn't want your singer or band to play in a sexy adult club, would you? Check the interiors of the place before deciding.
4. Choose a music venue that has a good reputation in the industry.
Do not just pick a venue because you like the way it looks or where it is located. You also have to consider the reputation of the place. To do this, simply look for online reviews and feedback provided by customers. You may have friends who have already tried the place, go and ask them for reviews, too. It is important to choose a venue that is respected in the music industry.

As long as Arthur Laffer and ALEC give Washington a negative economic outlook, there's reason for hope
The Washington Policy Center (WPC) says our state's economic future is none too bright, based on a low "economic outlook" ranking from Arthur Laffer and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). But if history is any guide, we've nothing to fear – that is, unless we actually follow their policy recommendations.
The "Rich States, Poor States" reports authored by Laffer, produced by ALEC, and touted by the WPC are so unreliable you're better off flipping a coin than using their economic outlook rankings to predict performance. 60% of the time, a given state's economy actually moves in the opposite direction of Laffer's outlook – and that's using Laffer's own data and methodology, which (as we'll see) have some serious problems.
Being wrong more than half the time may be the most generous criticism one can make of "Rich States, Poor States". When you actually crunch the numbers, it turns out a higher ranking on the ALEC/Laffer's index has no correlation to a state's economic growth at all. In fact, the only correlation between Laffer's ranking and performance is negative: the higher a state's economic outlook ranking, the lower the state's actual per capita income and median family income, and the higher the poverty rate.
There are other, more fundamental weaknesses. ALEC/Laffer's choice to rank all states 1 to 50 makes it easy to call half the states "underperformers" compared to the rest. That's a nice rhetorical device, but has little to do with how well a particular states' economy actually serves the needs of the people who live there. And that's where "Rich States, Poor States" really falls apart.
Rather than measuring how well a state is able to deliver on the building blocks of a strong economy – good infrastructure, strong schools, access to higher education, public safety, etc – Laffer's "only taxes matter" methodology actually downgrades those states best able to support the basic functions that improve people's lives, promote business growth, and protect our quality of life.
I'm not saying everything is hunky-dory up here in our corner of America, because clearly it isn't. But as long as Laffer (and the Washington Policy Center) say the outlook is grim, you can color me a little more hopeful.

Battling systemic lupus since high school, Shasa Johnson, of Baton Rouge, suffered kidney failure as she was working on her master's degree in speech pathology at Southern University.
While living with the dialysis treatments for nearly four years, Johnson experienced deteriorating heart problems and needed surgery to replace two heart valves in 2008.
All this while Johnson took classes and worked as a speech assistant at Dorseyville Elementary School in White Castle.
"It was very difficult," Johnson said. "I didn't know if I could make it. There were times when I couldn't get up."
Johnson was one of 221 graduates Friday during Southern's summer commencement at the F.G. Clark Activity Center.
In 2008 after healing from major heart surgery, Johnson said her prayers were answered when she was called about an emergency kidney donor availability at Tulane Medical Center and she was a match.
Fast forward three years and Johnson, now 37, finally graduated Friday from Southern with her master's degree after years of health roadblocks.
"Oh my God, I'm so excited," she said. "I've been very blessed. If it wasn't for God and for my family, I don't know what I would have done."
Systemic lupus is an autoimmune disease that can attack every organ. The disease can be fatal, but it also often causes symptoms like rashes and extreme photosensitivity.
"Now, it's not stopping me from doing anything," Johnson said, noting that she is a big advocate for organ donors, especially in the black community.
Southern's chief student marshal Friday, Whitney Olivia Allen, who had the highest grade-point average in the graduating class, also had her own health problems.
The difference though is that Allen's problems came when she was born three months premature and weighed only 13 ounces.
The White Castle native said her parents were told she would be blind and have developmental disabilities.
That turned out completely false.
"I wasn't supposed to excel, but I did just the opposite," said Allen, who noted she was "walking and talking and singing" by age 2.
Given her early-life experiences, Allen now plans to attend the LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans with a goal of studying neonatology so she can help premature babies too.
Allen also wants to study theology and do mission work.
Allen, Johnson and the other graduates received their degrees after commencement speaker and state Rep. Patricia Smith, D-Baton Rouge, told the new graduates to take advantage of their gifts.
"The knowledge you've gained can never be taken away from you," Smith said. "Therefore, you have a responsibility to yourself to use it to the utmost."
Smith was praised by the Southern leadership for helping lead the fight against the proposal to merge Southern University at New Orleans with the University of New Orleans.
Smith chairs the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus that represented the core of the opposition.
"We remain on the battlefield," Smith said, arguing that the fight to dismantle the Southern University System will continue next year.
"You must find a way to give back to Southern University," Smith said, urging the graduates donate to their alma mater. "Besides that, it is tax deductible."

Robert Ballard: beam me down
One of the world's greatest living explorers, Dr Robert Ballard, talks to E&T about how remote control technology can help discover new wrecks and protect previous finds like Titanic.
Robert Ballard (more popularly known as Bob Ballard) has always been interested in technology. Among his eye-catching innovations has been the use of Pepper's Ghost - the system that Disney uses to create ghostly apparitions in its haunted house attractions, and which allows him to appear as a hologram in one of the institutes that he works with.
This is not the only foray Ballard has made into the world of fantasy. As the founder the Institute for Exploration, which specialises in underwater archaeology and geology, he has mounted numerous expeditions to explore areas such as the Black Sea and Santorini. Santorini is the place that many of the more fanciful explorers think may be the location of the lost city of Atlantis.
Ballard, however, is rooted in reality. He acually believes that Atlantis is likely to be fiction. "It's like the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot," he says. "People like to have things like UFOs. I guess it gets over the mundane problem of having to live on Earth with what is really here."
Pepper's Ghost
For all his innovative thinking, then, Ballard has a very real goal in mind."Pepper's Ghost is an amazing technology that is actually reflective of a lot of things that are happening in our society now that are moving us towards what we call electronic travel or telepresence," he explains. "We have being doing a tremendous amount of work on the development of the new ship of exploration - the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Okeanos Explorer. The idea is to design a ship so that experts don't need to leave the university. They will be beamed to the site of a discovery and take over command control but never physically leave their home. We call it 'experts on call'. We are able to network scientists to the bottom of the ocean from consoles all over the US using the Internet."
A number of consoles have already been built (see box on p44). "I have two myself," says Ballard. "I have one in each of my offices. I have a studio in my office in the Institute for Exploration, which is a duplicate of the centre on my ship, and is a duplicate of the one on Okeanos Explorer. I also have one over at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School Of Oceanography." Work has also been completed on a $20m building housing something that Ballard calls the 'inner-space centre'.
"It is basically a command control centre much like Houston has for work with the space shuttle. It is a large room, two storeys high. It has a big plasma wall, and people sitting at consoles are in communication with a ship. We see exactly what the robots are seeing on remote parts of the planet, beamed in by high-bandwidth satellite and then fibre to the inner-space centre."
The inner-space centre is also connected to a growing number of consoles at universities and educational centres. "We probably have about nine of them now in Canada and the US, but I'm sure they will grow around the planet." These consoles are replicas of those onboard ship. "When you sit down at them you have three colour plasmas and six CRT displays and 35 channels of two-way audio, so once you sit at this console you have entered the game and it doesn't matter where you are physically."
Robotic ships
The system is not just geared to exploration but has been designed to educate as well. "We have cameras on our ships that are controllable from a website - we call them robocams. They are on the aft deck, the main lab and in the control room and we can actually let kids operate them. There is a gated website where we have the controls that you can operate with a mouse to pan, tilt, zoom and focus."
Ballard explains that the remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) can be controlled by the scientists - even game-savvy children can operate them - but they are usually left to the ROV pilots as "the pilots are much better at it".
"We have been working to bring these ships online with this new telepresence/expert on call paradigm concept, but we are pushing that even further by trying to move our senior engineers ashore. The whole idea is to take more and more people out of harm's way like they do with the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle being used in Afghanistan.
"It is silly to have very expensive people sitting around on ships waiting for something to break when they can just be brought in when needed. Our system allows the engineers access to all the computers on the ship from the beach. I would imagine that the ships would become robotic themselves in the end or will be operated with very small crews.
"Clearly, we are committed to further developing telepresence and ultimately, electronic travel. I am happy to be part of the experiment as I am reaping the benefits of it many years before anybody else."
"We have another ship which I have just acquired - a German research ship that we have just renamed the Nautilus," says Ballard. "We expect to be online in August and it work in the Mediterranean and Black Sea all next year and hopefully into the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea - we are just figuring out how to get past Somalia's pirates."
We are also working with the navy on one of its pathfinder survey ships to cover the Atlantic to complete our goal, which we have been working on for a year now, to have three ships that are exploring different major ocean basins."
Titanic and the law of sea convention
Ballard has always been a little obsessed by the Titanic, the ship he eventually discovered in 1985 after many years of searching. He has been particularly vocal about the plundering of the ship that has gone on since and when asked what was happening about it he told E&T; "Fortunately, very little is happening to the Titanic - it is being left alone - I think the salvagers are done and I don't think they are doing any more tourist dives - I think the economy has taken care of that.
I know that there are efforts afoot with the US and UK and other countries to create a treaty to protect the ship from continued destruction by salvagers and visitors. I am optimistic that with the new administration the Law of the Sea Convention will finally get approved and it will take a more proactive role in maritime law and the Titanic memorial act will be strengthened."
Ballard has always had an idea to wire up the Titanic with remote cameras to enable everybody to experience the thrill of undersea exploration on what is probably the most famous ship in the world. However, it is not going to be easy as Titanic is some 4km down and more than 700km out in the Atlantic. However, Ballard is already making small steps using the technology required.
"We are building underwater museums right now in the Black Sea off the Ukraine and off Turkey," he says. "We are preparing sites for such remote camera systems but we will do it in much shallower water before we take on the Titanic."
They are likely to use the same technologies as currently being used in underwater observatories, he explains, "tapping into the network once it is established, whether it is a hardwire ashore or whether it goes up to a buoy and onwards through a satellite.
"The ocean observatory is a clear example of how to wire up the bottom.
"We are naturally working with the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) because we find that once you are out at sea and you are working on a shipwreck, you are stuck in one spot because you are having to stay and excavate a site," says Ballard.
"What we are doing is using AUVs to go down the trade route as the 'hunt dog' and then come back and tell us whether they have found something better than what we are spending our time on. We see AUVs as very important force multipliers."

- Court: Intellectual Property Archives
- Area(s) of Law: Trade Secrets
- Date Filed: 10-22-2012
- Case #: 12-2454 ADM/JJG
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Montgomery
- Full Text Opinion
Opinion (Montgomery): In 2009, Richard Watson ("Watson") was hired as a vice president with Provell, Inc. ("Provell"), managing rewards clubs. At the time of his hiring, Watson signed a noncompete and confidentiality agreement, agreeing not to work for a competitor for a year after leaving Provell. In 2011, Sempris, LLC ("Sempris") acquired Provell's interests. As a result of the acquisition, Watson became a Sempris employee, without signing any further noncompete or confidentiality agreements. Watson left Sempris for a competitor, Reunion, a few months after the acquisition. Sempris filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent Watson from working with Reunion, alleging that Watson would "inevitably" disclose trade secrets. The court determined that Sempris did not prove the threshold factor of threat of irreparable harm, and further noted that the other factors weighed in Watson's favor, since Sempris did not prove that Reunion was a competitior in the same market. However, the court determined Watson to still be bound by the noncompete and confidentiality agreement. Accordingly, the district court DENIED plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order.

By this time next year, a bank branch, dental office, dry cleaner and even a fast food restaurant could be staking claim on the empty lots lining Highway 12 between Humorist Road and Highway 124.
With a water system in place, sewer system in the works and a new interchange under construction on the highway, a long-term vision to develop the Port of Walla Walla's Burbank Business Park is coming to life one step at a time.
Port Executive Director Jim Kuntz unveiled an ambitious timeline for the next part of the project.
He said he hopes to have a binding site plan that will allow the division of lots for commercial and industrial property at the port's more than 100-acre park in place by next March.
The 85-lot plan needs approval from Walla Walla County before the lots can be sold and developed.
A county official said a binding site plan this large is more likely to take five months to process. Kuntz said sewer installation would likely begin next summer. "And then we're off and selling lots," he said.
Whether the timeline is optimistic or not, the transformation is well under way.
During a recent meeting in Burbank, port officials presented the latest updates to about 30 or 40 residents who attended the gathering at Columbia Middle School.
Increasing property taxes, mandated services and the overall cost of living were common themes and concerns of the numerous questions asked by residents during the presentation. However, several residents also were cautiously optimistic about the possibilities of a new business park with tree-lined walking paths and proximity to basic services they now have to drive to Pasco to receive.
"I have mixed feelings," said Debbie Williams of Burbank. "I live in the Burbank community because I love the quiet country feel. I like the idea of (the business park) being across the street from the (high) school. A lot of kids can't afford cars, so they could walk across the street for work. In that respect I'm really excited about it."
As with others who spoke up, Williams said she fears the possibility of development that comes too swiftly. Several residents who spoke up said they worry about too much coming too soon, altering the character of the community. Conversely, some also wondered if the about 3,300 residents in the small community that makes up the western pocket of Walla Walla County can support 85 lots' worth of commercial development, especially with access to Pasco's businesses just across the bridge.
But commissioners and port staff assured that full development is more likely to take decades than merely a few years, and protective covenants at the property will result in a respectful and tastefully designed business park.
As far as property taxes are concerned, commission President Mike Fredrickson clarified that taxes are more likely to go down as new businesses join the park. As the property develops, more landowners will be able to share the load, he said.
He also said development of a business park is more likely to take place during decades rather than a few short years.
"Over the last two years we've come out to Burbank and we've heard what people said loud and clear, which is 'We don't want a Road 68,' " Fredrickson said referring to the rapid development that's taken place in the Pasco area.
He said the breakdown of the port's property into smaller lots could help counter the strip-mall-type of development that's popped up along the neighboring community's thoroughfare. However, commissioners also said it's possible that one property owner could buy several of the smaller lots and piece them together for one larger development.
One 20-acre parcel has been identified in the preliminary lot layout as a possible destination for a grocery store. If there's no demand for the piece, it too could be broken up into smaller lots.
Port officials said the heavy industrial tenants will remain along the waterfront at the park, where the Snake and Columbia rivers converge. Light manufacturing and commercial properties will make up the area that's closest to the highway.
Kuntz said the port has come to terms with the city of Pasco for sewer treatment service that will allow Walla Walla's economic development agency to provide sewer services without having to build its own treatment plant. The initial connection from the port will cost $1.8 million. The port plans a pipeline to run a sewer line under the Snake River and into Pasco.
The port and Pasco have agreed to enter into an interlocal agreement. The 75-year agreement would allow the port a maximum flow of 300,000 gallons per day. The port would collect fees from local users and then be responsible for paying Pasco. Residents will not be required to hook up to the sewer system unless they were unified in their desire to.
Kuntz said port officials ultimately want the development to be something of which residents can be proud.
"We're hoping the citizens can drive by and say, 'Somebody really thought this through.' "

Dressing Up for Dinner
We go out to eat a few times a week, and I'd say more than half the time Jackson is dressed up in a costume. We always get a lot of funny looks and smiles from other people. Sometimes I even forget that he's dressed up and wonder why people are staring at us. One night he will be Woody, other times he dresses like a more generic cowboy, an astronaut, or a superhero. He would like to wear his birthday suit or his pajamas sometimes, but we have to draw the line somewhere. Anyway, last week we went to Pok-E-Jo's (Jackson got to pick), and when he saw this Indian statue he asked me to take his picture with it.

28 Dec Melinda's Ratatouille
Milwaukee's favorite gardener, Melinda Myers, claims "A cook I am not, but I love to grow the ingredients for my favorite meals. And when summer arrives and I can pick the herbs and veggies right from my garden, cooking becomes less of a chore. And the results taste much better! This is the dish I plan my garden around and am happy to share with family and friends."
One way to get the family back to the table is to grow your own fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits for your family recipes. For this info and more visit Melinda's website at http://bit.ly/ieAzNd
Melinda is a favorite show speaker, loved for her lighthearted, fresh approach to all things gardening. Be sure to catch her seminars at the show: "Garden-tainment" on Sunday, February 27 at 11:15 am in the Rainier Room, and her two Sprout Stage presentations just for the young and young-at-heart, "Grow Your Own Worms" on Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 am on the Sprout Stage.
1 medium eggplant cubed
3 medium zucchini sliced
2 medium onions sliced
1 medium sweet pepper diced
3 Tb olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 or more tomatoes, enough to fill, the 2 skillets – in quarters of eighths (I like a combo of Roma and whatever else is in season)
½ cup fresh parsley chopped
1 Tb fresh basil or 1 tsp dried basil leaves
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Sauté eggplant, zucchini, onions and peppers in oil and garlic in large skillet or saucepan until tender, or about 10 minutes. (I usually end up chopping and dicing enough to fill two large skillets.)
Add tomatoes, parsley and basil. Stir to blend and cook over medium heat to allow liquid to evaporate. The juicier the tomatoes the longer it takes. But the fresh-from-the garden flavor can't be beat.
Place mixture in a 11 ¾ x 7 ½ x 1 ¾ baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (it is also good without the cheese for those eliminating dairy from their diets). Cover with foil. Bake at 450° F for 30 minutes, or until heated thoroughly. (I often lift the foil after 30 minutes and continue to cook if the dish is still too liquidy.)
Serve as side dish or main entrée over rice or pasta. Serves 4 to 6
Adapted from recipe found in Woman's Day many years ago.
