Memories and Condolences
Edry Danner, Elkhart, IN
To the Family and Friends of Margaret Evans, I am so sorry for the pain that death causes. We miss the person that is no longer with us but please find comfort in the knowledge that Jehovah will bring all those in his memory back. Jesus promised his disciples that he would do that at John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29. We know that it will happen because the Bible tells us at Acts chapter 24 verse 15. Another proof that this will happen can be found in what happened when Jesus saw the pain death caused when Lazarus died, Jesus gave way to tears. Friends I am so sorry for the death. Everyone who knew her will miss her but we have hope of seeing her again. Please be comforted by that knowledge, knowing that the promise is from God.

Forest Industry
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Joe Comuzzi Thunder Bay—Superior North, ON
Mr. Speaker, everyone in this House realizes the importance of the forest industry to Canada's economy.
Since coming into office, this government has delivered results, with $127.5 million to the forest industry's long term competitiveness initiative, $200 million to combat the mountain pine beetle infestation in British Columbia and Alberta, and $72.5 million for the targeted initiative to adjust the older worker adjustment program.
These decisions build on the $5 billion that was put back into the pockets of the Canadian forestry business because of reaching an agreement on the softwood lumber dispute.
We solved this problem in less than a year. The members opposite had 13 years to finalize this agreement and just did not get it done. While they sit on their hands, this government is taking real action to keep our forestry and manufacturing sectors viable and profitable.
Economic Statement
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, in Ontario, Mike Harris was the self-proclaimed tax fighter. Now the Prime Minister is picking up the mantle.
In his mini-budget, he chose to compound rather than alleviate the devastation of hurricane Harris. Yes, some of the targeted tax relief for the lowest income earners and small businesses was welcome, but no fair-minded person would believe that the big banks and oil companies needed $7 billion in corporate tax cuts to pad their already record-breaking profits. The 1% cut in the GST will deliver a mere $10 to anyone who can spend $1,000, but will cost us collectively $5 billion in foregone community investments.
Seniors, whose hard-earned money built the programs that are now being gutted, deserve better. Children, whose success depends on excellence in education, deserve better. Workers, whose jobs and pensions depend on a manufacturing sector strategy, deserve better. Cities, whose infrastructure supports our community and economy, deserve better.
The Conservatives are intent on taking us in the wrong direction, but in a minority government they could have been stopped. Shame on the Liberals for helping the budget to pass.

Massimo Pacetti Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Mr. Speaker, Canada is famous around the world for a number of things. Foremost among these is its ability to stay on top in a celebrated athletic discipline: hockey.
If we want to keep developing talented players, communities all over Canada have to take an interest in our young people, for whom sports are an excellent way to develop important values. That is why I want to congratulate members of AAA, AA, BB, and CC teams that took part in the 34th annual Saint-Léonard international midget hockey tournament held recently in my riding, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel.
I would also like to congratulate Gabriel Paradis, the president, who did a great job of organizing the tournament, which took place under the honorary patronage of Roger Brulotte. I would also like to thank the many volunteers and generous sponsors, including the Langelier Cage aux sports, the Saint-Léonard McDonald's, the Saint-Léonard Caisse populaire and Atlanta Aluminum.

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, at the IES gala on October 27 in Laval, France Jutras and Jocelyn Bathalon, of Jutras-Bathalon, a division of Jardins Lumières in L'Avenir near Drummondville, received Mérithor awards.
This recognition is granted to lighting professionals for the quality of their work in that field.
Two achievements caught the attention of the jury: the lighting design for the Atrium Tropique Nord in Montreal and the lighting installation piece at the entrance to downtown Gatineau.
The Jutras-Bathalon team will dazzle us again in December, in France, where they will illuminate a massive sculpture made of granite, water, fire and light in a new park built by the City of Douai in the north end of Paris.
Congratulations and much success to France Jutras and Jocelyn Bathalon.

November 13th, 2007 / 2:15 p.m.
Albina Guarnieri Mississauga East—Cooksville, ON
Mr. Speaker, in Canada, nation building is about building our cities into stronger economic engines and better homes, but instead of cities growing stronger, they face a crumbling future under a $100 billion municipal infrastructure deficit and a federal government that refuses to share its record surplus.
Last week, when they appealed to Ottawa for investment, the Conservative government effectively told our cities to get out of town. And now Mississauga's Hazel McCallion has told property taxpayers to expect huge tax increases to fill the funding void left by Canada's new government.
I call on the government to stop choosing short term vote buying over long term nation building and start funding the future by funding our cities.
Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, today something very peculiar happened in the procedure and House affairs committee.
The Conservative members put forward a motion in order to see that all the parties would have their financial and electoral practices from the last two elections brought forward for public scrutiny in a committee forum, on camera, for all Canadians to judge and see, but curiously, right before the motion could come for a vote, members of the opposition bounced to their feet and sprinted out the door, denying quorum and shutting down the committee.
This happened only hours after members of the Conservative Party put forward an affidavit exposing hypocritical electoral and financial practices amongst the other parties in the last two elections. Coincidence? I think not.
If they really believe in what they did and want to condemn what we have done, why did they turn tail and run when they had their chance?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, for months the government has known about very serious allegations concerning former prime minister Brian Mulroney. It received hundreds of pages on the whole affair.
The Prime Minister even received personal letters from Mr. Schreiber and yet the government did nothing for months. Why?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, last week I announced that as a result of a sworn affidavit that has been filed in court the government would appoint an independent third party to advise the government on how to proceed with such allegations.
Let me make clear what we will be doing. We will be asking that independent third party, whom we will be naming very shortly, to provide us with the terms of reference for a full public inquiry as well as any other course of action that the independent party deems appropriate.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the information prompting a reaction from the Prime Minister had been in his hands for months: a letter from Mr. Schreiber, marked "To the Addressee Only - For His Eyes Only".
This from a Prime Minister obsessed with controlling everything down to the last detail, as his caucus knows all too well. The Prime Minister is hiding behind the PCO and junior staff in his own office.
Will he step up to the plate and do the right thing, that is to launch immediately a full public inquiry?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I just answered this question about a public inquiry. The independent third party will give the government the appropriate terms of reference for such an inquiry, and such an inquiry will be launched.
Let me just speak to this issue of the letters, which the Leader of the Opposition alleges I have. Let us be very clear. I remind the Liberal leader that Karlheinz Schreiber has been the subject of extradition proceedings by the federal government for the past eight years. I can assure the Leader of the Opposition that when somebody writes about his extradition proceedings, that is not handled by the Prime Minister. That goes to appropriate government officials.
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, even Mr. Mulroney is calling for a full public inquiry. The Prime Minister must be the only person who does not think it is a good idea.
Why? What is he afraid of? Will he do the right thing? Will he take on his responsibilities and call a full public inquiry now?
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the problem is that the Leader of the Opposition had whipped himself up into that question and has failed to listen to the previous two answers.
That is precisely what the government will be doing. Under the circumstances, the independent party that the government will be employing will be making a recommendation to the government on the appropriate terms of inquiry for a full public inquiry.
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Mark Holland Ajax—Pickering, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has shamelessly pointed his finger--
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.

Ohio farmland values continued advance in 2013. What about 2014?
The Columbus Dispatch - January 22, 2014 05:56 PM
The value of Ohio farmland continued its upward climb in 2013, but the trend is likely to moderate this year.
Ohio farmland prices have spiked in recent years as farmers and investors wrestled over a small number of farms for sale, leaving some real estate developers on the sidelines.
The per-acre value of high-quality cropland rose to $5,600 in 2013 from $5,000 in 2012, said Barry Ward, assistant professor of production business management at Ohio State University Extension. That's up 39 percent from $4,020 in 2008, according to Cheryl Turner, director of the U.S. Agriculture Department's National Agricultural Statistics Service field office in Reynoldsburg.
Farmers National Co., the Omaha, Neb., company that manages, appraises and sells farmland, expects Ohio farmland to stay the same at $8,000 per acre in 2014, citing its own transactions. OSU's Ward also is cautious about rising values this year.
"The key factors (in farmland values) -- crop profitability and interest rates -- both show indications of 'unfriendly' moves in 2014," Ward said in his 2014 outlook. "Crop profits are projected to be lower (possibly negative) and interest rates have moved higher since last year. Does this mean land values will decline?"
The values may not decline, but "the projected numbers for 2014 point towards flat to lower cropland values for 2014," Ward said.

Second human-powered helo crash video postedFriday, September 7th, 2012
University of Maryland officials said the structural break during the last Gamera II flight occurred at the same point as a repaired break from an earlier crash. The statement issued today said U. of Md. students will press on to the final goal of 9.8 feet (they got 9.4 feet and were near the floor when this crash occurred). If they fly for a minute, stay in an 11.7 foot circle, and reach 9.8 feet, they win a $250,000 Sikorsky innovation prize–and endless bragging rights.

Videographer uses talk to share his vision
NORTH TAMPA-A young entrepreneur's Webcast talk show aims to bring different cultures together to dispel stereotypes.
By JESSICA BRADY
Published May 4, 2007
Motown Maurice has an interesting theory:
Everyone, he says, has an "inner high-top fade."
He actually let his high top grow and wears the outdated hip hop hairstyle that went out more than 10 years ago with artists Boyz II Men and Kid 'N Play.
But the giggles behind his back don't bother him. The high top, he says, symbolizes inner strength.
"It represents any idea or desire that somebody may have, but doesn't have the courage to bring out, " he said.
Maurice Jeoffroy, a 26-year-old self-employed photographer and videographer, has other theories too. They revolve around tearing down negative stereotypes within the black community - concepts he plans to present in his new Webcast talk show.
The show is just one of his countless ideas. And when he gets an idea, he usually doesn't let it go.
- - -
Motown Maurice Productions was created in 2004.
On any given weekend, its founder scans the aisles of weddings, parties or charity events with his camera. That's how he makes his living.
But that's also how he wants to make his mark on Tampa's black community.
In 2005, Motown produced a two-hour documentary, Echoes of a Dream: The Historical & Spiritual Perspectives of the Civil Rights Movement. William Sanders, president of Unlimited Gospel Expressions, inspired the project.
In the documentary, Motown interviewed local civil rights activists and talked about the struggles that African-Americans experienced in Tampa.
That landed him a guest spot on Tampa Bay's Media Talk, a live weekly global Webcast produced by Tampa Digital Studios on S Howard Avenue. It has since been one of the top 10 most- watched segments.
Because of its success, Tampa Digital Studios agreed to produce his latest project, The Combination, a Webcast talk show that he hopes will educate the black community on issues "they may think about, but never discuss."
The show will consist of four segments: music, politics, history and culture. Each will introduce a prominent figure in the African-American community who will talk about various issues and stereotypes. Motown is planning a launch party for the show Wednesday at the Good Luck Caf in Ybor City.
The first show will air at 8 p.m. May 16 and can be viewed online at www.thecombinationtv.com.
Motown wants to bring different cultures together to dispel stereotypes. The most important element of the show is the diversity of images that he and three co-hosts will represent. Purposefully, he said, they will have different hairstyles and wear different styles of clothes.
"It is important for me, for us, on the show to look different, whether it's with dreads, an Afro, a high-top fade or a hat, because many people are used to relating a particular image with a negative concept, " Motown said. "So, you'll get to see intelligent men with a certain image speak."
- - -
Motown was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., and moved to Tampa with his parents in 1993. He lives in North Tampa in an apartment off Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.
The name Motown spawned after he printed the word across the windshield of his 1993 Dodge Colt. The moniker stuck, and he became known as "Motown."
He got his bachelor's degree in 2002 from Florida A&M University. After he graduated, Motown worked as an administrative assistant for FAMU's Learning Development and Evaluation Center for a year, before returning to Tampa.
Aside from his business, Motown, whose father is from Haiti, helped spearhead the annual Haitian Flag Day Festival in 2006.
He also teaches social action photography and videography to at-risk students at Sylvia Rodriguez Kimbell Full Service School.
"A lot of the children he teaches don't have a positive role model at home, " said Keto Hodges, Motown's production partner. "He uses the fact that he is a successful, young entrepreneur and tries to educate them on what it takes to grow up and be a successful, positive person in the community."
Someday, Motown says, he'll create his own nonprofit organization to raise funds to send underprivileged kids to college. It's a work in progress, just like the book that he intends to write titled Building a Vision Without a Girlfriend.
The theory behind that?
The time and energy it takes to invest in a girlfriend, young men could use instead to invest in a business.
"I just think in one's early years, you need to focus on bringing your vision to life, " he said.
- - -
Yet another theory: If an idea sticks in his head for more than 48 hours, it's best to "roll with it."
The idea for The Combination came nearly five years ago. The program failed numerous times for various reasons, he said. But once the idea was locked in, failure became motivation rather than a deterrent.
"I've told myself to be prepared for failure, " he said.
He approached The Combination like he did his fade, he said. He nurtured it, picked it out and let it grow.

Postgame: New York
The Columbus Dispatch - May 26, 2013 09:07 PM
Part of Mike Petke's postgame comments will be in Monday's paper, but to describe him as upset at the penalty call would be quite the understatement.
The Crew took a 2-1 lead in the 74th minute when Federico Higuain converted his second penalty of the season, but it came with some controversy. The Crew's Justin Meram was clearly pushed while inside the area, but he appeared to have already struck the ball when contact was made. His attempt went wide, but Kosuke Kimura was whistled for the foul anyway.
Here's what Petke had to say: "I will say this, while I say that perhaps we didn't deserve to win today I have my checkbook out and I am ready for MLS to fine me because it's not good enough from the referees. It's not good enough. I watched the replay of the penalty of what I already knew to be not a penalty and it backed it up. He (Justin Meram) misses the ball, the player, misses it, and then there is contact from the side. That's a guy in my estimation who is probably getting ready for the Memorial Day weekend who wants to be a part of the show. That's what it is to me and I could care less what the league fines me, or what they say.
He continued: "Those decisions, those types of things cost jobs. And it goes to his partners on the sidelines, who handballs, fouls happened two feet in from of them and they don't even see it. I'm pissed off. Like I said, I'm not blaming the refs for us not winning. I don't think we did enough to win, but we are going to have games like that and to give them that PK call, shocking."
I caught up with Meram after the game, who said Kimura interfered with his attempt. Crew head coach Robert Warzycha said, "You're going to have some calls go for you and go against you. I don't question the referee's decision."
Added New York defender Jamison Olave: "For me it wasn't a penalty, the player from Columbus mis-kicks the ball, he doesn't make contact with the ball and his momentum takes him to the ground. There was a player chasing him from behind but there is nothing to be done after he mis-kicks the ball. My opinion is that is not a penalty kick."
Referee Geoff Gamble told reporters, "I had a clear view of the play. The defender pushed the attacker in the back, which is a penal offense, which then resulted in a penalty kick."
Federico Higuain converted the penalty in a bit of revenge after having his attempt against Luis Robles saved in Crew Stadium on May 4. This time, he skipped the stutter-step and fired straight ahead as Robles again dove to his right. The ball looked to have skimmed the left side of his jersey before finding the back of the net.
I've seen Higuain putting in extra work on his penalties during training, but Warzycha said the team's upcoming U.S. Open Cup game had him making other players practice them as well.
"It's difficult to mimic the penalties that are going to happen in games because we don't know if it's going to be in the first minute or in the last minute or what the score is going to be, et cetera," the coach said. "He worked on his penalties this week. He has confidence. He took a good shot against New York and the goalkeeper saved it, but he has confidence."
Injuries mounting
Dominic Oduro notched the Crew's earliest goal of the season when he scored in the second minute, but he was removed six minutes later with what the team has called a right thigh contusion. He will have an MRI as soon as Monday, Warzycha said.
"It could be long-term or it could be shorter," Warzycha said. "I can't say right now."
Oduro sported a significant ice wrap on his right leg as he watched the game.
"Right now it hurts," he said. "It really hurts. I can barely walk, but I'll fight through it. We're going to get a scan to see if it's something minor, which I hope it is. After that, hopefully I'll be ready for next week."
Oduro's absence meant Warzycha was without five opening-day starters. The Crew finished the match down a player after Kevan George had to leave the field with a bloody face that required stiches, and midfielder Eddie Gaven suffered a shoulder injury in the 87th minute that forced him off for a few minutes.
Look for status updates on all the walking wounded Tuesday.
Oduro was replaced by Aaron Schoenfeld, who played 54 minutes before being removed for Ben Speas.
"Especially on the road, we play to win and we're very aggressive and we created chances," Warzycha said. "Aaron came in and worked extremely hard, so I'm happy with the guys' performance."
When Speas replaced Schoenfeld, Meram moved to his former position of forward. He was lined up there when he drew the controversial penalty.
"I love playing up there," he said. "We kind of created more when I was up there. I'm close to the goal and we got the PK. I played there my rookie year and couldn't quite handle the physicality but this is my third year and I can play that position pretty well. I enjoyed it. If I'm called to play up there I'll be excited, but if I have to do defensive work I'm ready for that chance as well. I think I've shown the coaching staff that I'm team-first and can be responsible on the field."


text: I love movies and television. And I love the ins and the outs of Hollywood (OK – honestly I love it mostly so I can make fun of it, but still…). And usually when the two come together (meaning movies or TV shows ABOUT Hollywood), it rarely works. I mean there are hits…like The Player, Sunset Boulevard, or The Bad and the Beautiful. But, mostly there are misses. And then there are the movies that are set in the world of Hollywood but are more about other storylines and not really entirely focused on the movie business, such as Singin' in the Rain, Hugo, Extras (well, that's not HOLLYWOOD, per se, since it's set in London, but it's still a TV show about the movie/TV industry).

Vascular parkinsonism
From James Beck, Ph.D., Director of Research Programs Recently, former President George H.W. Bush revealed in an interview with PARADE Magazine that he has vascular parkinsonism. While not meeting the criteria for true Parkinson's disease (PD), vascular parkinsonism mimics many features of PD. As its name implies, vascular parkinsonism is often due to problems with the vessels in the brain regions that control movement and small strokes are the primary cause. Although small strokes will cumulatively worsen the symptoms of vascular parkinsonism, it is otherwise not considered a progressive neurodegenerative disease like PD. People with vascular parkinsonism often experience a "lower… Read More

Few problems despite fast melt
Due to the lateness of the season, a lingering snowpack and a very warm forecast, the National Weather Service warned of a rapid snowmelt in the Minot region. What occurred may have been one of the fastest runoffs in area history.
Snow-covered-ground along the Des Lacs and Souris River drainages quickly transformed to water that flowed into numerous tributaries, road ditches and furrows destined for river basins. In some areas the water came so fast that culverts passing under roadways were unable to handle the rush. Some overland flooding was reported too but, despite the rapid melt, nothing comparable to what occurred in the devasting flood year of 2011.
Many of the problems encountered by rising water over the weekend, even into the early hours of Monday morning, were in areas where spring runoff is often a concern. The Project Road in Burlington was closed for time where rising water from the Des Lacs inched over the roadway and where runoff from a drainage ditch came too fast and high to travel through a culvert.
While high water remained above the Old Settler's Bridge in Burlington Monday afternoon, it was not an unusual awaking for the Des Lacs where the river has been known to cause havoc for homeowners. According to the NWS, the Des Lacs peaked at 19.39 feet Sunday afternoon. By Monday afternoon the narrow river was receding as rapidly as it rose.
Farther upstream some snow could be seen in coulees leading to the river, but it was readily apparent that the snowpack had changed dramatically. The weekend rush of water would not be repeated, a situation that has occurred on the Des Lacs during previous melts. Nevertheless, the 19.39-foot crest surpassed the 19.16 crest of 1996 to move into fifth place on the river's list of recorded historical crests.
The flow of the Des Lacs combined with other runoff, most notably Gasman Coulee, to push the Souris River at Minot's Broadway Bridge to 1,546.63 feet where flood stage is listed at 1,549 feet. By Monday the Souris was slowly declining at Broadway.
The gauge on the Souris at the Boy Scout Bridge west of the city peaked at 14.72 feet late Sunday, just over minor flood stage of 14 feet. The NWS was forecasting a slight rise to 15.1 feet for the Boy Scout Bridge but river gauges indicated otherwise.
Although some areas experienced overland flooding, the good news was that the majority of the rapid runoff remained within the banks of the Souris and Des Lacs. That may not have been possible had the release gates at Lake Darling Dam not been closed while the runoff was under way. Lake Darling's gates were closed last Friday.
According to the latest information received by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Lake Darling gates will open to 1,000 cubic feet per second today and to 2,000 cfs Wednesday. The releases represent what may be considered part two of the 2013 runoff season. Still to come is the snowmelt in southern Saskatchewan that will impact the amount of water entering the Souris.
Although some melt has already occurred in Saskatchewan, the bulk of the spring runoff is expected to occur later this week when daytime temperatures reach 50 degrees Thursday and continue to climb into the 70s by Sunday. According to the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency Monday, the snowmelt thus far has been performing as expected.
Water from Boundary Reservoir near Estevan, the smallest of three impoundments in southern Saskatchewan, was being diverted to Rafferty Reservoir at the rate of 1,766 cfs Monday. The release gates at Rafferty were releasing a scant 18 cfs into the Souris Monday. A similar amount was being released at Alameda Reservoir at Oxbow, Sask. Alameda backs up flows from Moose Mountain Creek just above its confluence with the Souris. According to the WSA, all inflows from Rafferty and Alameda reservoirs will be held until peak flows from runoff below the dams subsides.
According to the Corps, those releases will push the level of Lake Darling to approximately 1,598 in early May. Releases from Lake Darling will eventually lower that reservoir to its summer operating level of 1,597 feet, a mark that is expected to be achieved about mid-May provided rainfall does not alter current projections.
Downstream from Minot the Souris is still forecast to raise to historical levels. The latest outlook for the Souris at Towner has the river exceeding 56 feet. The all-time high for the Souris at Towner is 58.73 feet set in 2011. According to the NWS, the Souris is likely to produce a top-five event at Westhope where the Souris enters Manitoba.

Thank you fellows for the insightful exchanges. All I can say on this topic is that John almost normally used a direct and frank approach to convey his feelings and opinions onto music.
Regarding the other Beatles, I guess Ringo´s lyrics are also normally straightforward and clear on the subject matter. As for Paul´s and George´s, they favor indirect, ambiguous approaches plenty of times. As we all know, Paul loves telling fictional stories in songs, also.

Unsolved Crimes Investigation Program
The Texas Ranger Unsolved Crimes Investigation Team was created on September 1, 2001 by the 77th Session of Texas Legislature. The program's primary objective is to provide Texas law enforcement agencies with a process for investigating unsolved murders or what appear to be serial or linked criminal transactions. Since there is no statute of limitations on the offense of murder, the state has the moral and statutory obligation to pursue these cases to a successful resolution; or until no other lead is viable. Law enforcement must devote every effort to investigate these crimes to the fullest extent for the victims and their families. The Texas Rangers' Cold Case website was created with those efforts in mind, to assist such cases in establishing further investigative leads.
This website features unsolved (cold case) investigations in the State of Texas; however it is not all inclusive. The links herein can be used to review the cold case information provided on this site.

Dog owners know that caring for your canine's coat is part of regular pet care. But some cat owners may think that felines are able to take care of all their grooming needs on their own. While this is partially true, there are some ways cat owners can help keep their pets' fur nice and healthy. If you're a new cat owner, or want to start grooming your feline companion, here are a few tips.
Understanding your cat's coat
There are infinite varieties of cats in the world, thanks to years of mixed and selective breeding. Some cats have no hair at all, while others have thick, long coats, reports VCA Animal Hospitals. The type of coat your cat has will determine how vigilant you need to be about grooming. Usually, the longer the hair, the more likely the cat is to have a silky outer coat that will become matted or tangled if left unattended for long. You should also monitor how much your cat sheds. Cats who live in cooler parts of the country will usually go through periods of heavy shedding in late spring and late fall. Other cats who are primarily confined to the home will shed less often.
Starting a grooming regimen
According to VCA, all cats benefit from regular or daily brushing. Running a brush or comb through your cat's fur will help with the shedding process, remove dead skin cells, and keep the coat free of dirt, debris and external parasites that could lead to cat illness. There are other benefits to cat grooming as well. Brushing your feline regularly will reduce the amount of debris from their fur floating around your home, which can help alleviate symptoms of people in the household who suffer from cat allergies. Additionally, many cats love being brushed, and it can be a bonding experience for owner and feline.
What type of brush or comb you use will depend on the type of cat you have. VCA recommends stiff bristle brushes for those who have cats with less fur or sparse undercoats. Medium and long-haired cats will likely benefit from long-toothed metal combs or brushes. Remember to always be gentle and watch your feline to see if he is enjoying the brushing.
Bathing your cat: yes or no?
This is where the rumors about not needing to groom your cat come into play. Dogs need regular bathing, but more often than not, cats will take care of their own bathing. Unfortunately, there are some health problems in felines that could cause your cat to be unable to bathe himself properly, in which case you will need to step in and help out. Arthritis or allergies in cats are some of the factors that may make self-grooming and bathing difficult for your feline. Speak to your vet about shampoos formulated specifically for cats, and methods for bathing your feline.

David Akers: The 1907-S has sometimes been referred to as a "sleeper" issue or an underrated one in Gem condition. For years, of course, that was true, but in recent times the 1907-S has come to be appreciated for its rarity more than some other issues (for example, the 1908-S...) which are almost as rare as the 1907-S in Gem condition, and yet, according to every standard pricing guide, are worth substantially less. So it may not be really appropriate to continue to describe the 1907-S as underrated, but it is certainly accurate to describe a Gem of this issue as being very rare.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- K Mart Corporation of Troy, Michigan, is voluntarily recalling an estimated 81,000 "Baby's First Squeeze Toys" and an estimated 75, 000 "Baby's First Playball" squeeze toys, which sold for less than $1.00 at K Mart stores since November 1987 and also an estimated 33,000 plastic "Telephone Receiver Rattles" which sold for less than $2 stores since December, 1987.Consumers should immediately take the squeeze toys and rattles away from infants and return them to any K Mart store for a full refund of the purchase price. The squeakers in the squeeze toys may come out and could present a potential choking hazard to children under three years of age. The "Baby's First Squeeze Toys" came in three shapes: a telephone receiver, a barbell, and a dumbbell. The package was labeled "Baby's First Squeeze Toys", product code "#28-17-93." The playball squeeze toys came in the form of a baseball, a basketball, and a soccer ball. The package was labeled "Baby's First Playball," product code "#28-17-96."The rattles are shaped like a telephone receiver. They may break and produce plastic pieces and beads, which could present a choking hazard and may cut infants. The package was labeled "Plastic Telephone Receiver Rattle," product code "#28-17-86."U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission identified the rattles and squeeze toys during their joint surveillance program at the ports of Charleston, Dallas and Savannah.

Assignment: Education-Turnaround Contracts
While on the campaign trail a few months ago, Governor Walker talked about this document "The Walker Plan: To Make Wisconsin's Education System World Class." The governor plans to unveil the ideas in this document as part of his education reform package in late March or April.
"Making sure every kid has access and an opportunity to great education is imperative for us," said Governor Scott Walker.105442
One way Governor Walker hopes to achieve this goal is to reform failing schools. He wants to do this by grading schools on a scale of A to F.
"For us, it's really ultimately about identifying what schools in our state are succeeding or scoring the best and how do we replicate that everywhere else across the state," said Walker.
The governor wants grades awarded based on criteria such as graduation rates, passing rates, enrollment in Advanced Placement Courses, Standardized test scores and teacher and administrator evaluations.
"My concern around those first four is... okay, if it is important that every student pass then they'll all pass. If it's important that we have AP classes, we'll have AP classes. If that becomes the criteria for whether this is a good school district there's easy solutions," said Executive Director for Coulee Region United Educators Gerry Roethel.
The fear among some educators is that expectations may be lowered in the classroom to make sure kids pass and, therefore, schools get passing grades. Educators are also concerned about a system where a school gets credit for a student who can achieve the "easy A," but may not get as much credit for a teacher who was able to pull a D student to a B student. Governor Walker says his legislative committee is looking to make considerations in those situations.
"For us, it's about... certainly not going to penalize someone who takes an A-plus-type student and makes sure that they continue to be an A-plus student, but it shouldn't penalize somebody who gets a kid that starts out maybe below their age group on some categories but moves them up. There should be some added consideration for people who started out with a challenge and were able to bring those kids up even if it's not an A-plus, but several grades from where they were at before," said Walker.
If a school is labeled a persistently failing school, schools will be required to sign turnaround contracts. In exchange for a commitment of resources and support from the state, school boards and administrators will select one of four turnaround models. The first one asks for administrators to be replaced.
"I don't know that they're going to have the capacity to walk into a building and lead, because they won't know the terrain. They won't know the family. They won't know the situation. Just because they're some expert from the outside doesn't mean things will work better, necessarily," said Roethel.
Option two asks for administrators and no less then 50% of the staff to be replaced.
"If we're walking out of the building half of that staff that knows the children, knows the families, knows the situation of the community, and we have 50% new staff, new teachers, I'm not sure where that gets us. How that gets us to a situation that's better for children," said Roethel.
"Most of the schools in this state are overwhelming successful, but for the handful that are failing, and failing miserably, we've gotta give those superintendents and school boards the ability to come in, just like you would in an emergency situation, you take things over. You bring in a new team and try something completely different," said Walker.
Option three looks at closing a school and reopening it as a charter school.
"That was the solution for all of these problem schools in the Milwaukee Public School system. So, we established all these private charters. Test scores are no better. I don't see it as a viable option. Not a good option. Not one that's going to do better for kids," said Roethel.
The final option is closing the school and sending kids elsewhere.
"That is really a problem in the rural areas. There is no school around the corner," said Roethel.
Governor Walker says if closing a school or turning a school into a charter isn't an option in a particular school district, than they would choose a different turnaround model which is part of the flexibility of this proposal.
"This gives support for school boards and administrators to select one of a number of turnaround options. It gives them the power to do... that they're just not locked into the status quo right now which is where they don't really have any of these options," said Walker.

Rotary Radio Auction is another great hit
ALPENA – The names of winning bidders of the 60th annual WATZ Rotary Radio auction should be posted today at watz.com.
Alpena Rotary Club members were busy finishing up the details after their effort raised $17,349, organizing committee chairman Bill Yaklin said Thursday.
Local businesses donated more than $27,000 worth of goods and services this year, providing more than 300 auction items, he said. A total of 2,304 bids were placed online and on air.
The auction began online March 12. By Tuesday and Wednesday, bids were also being taken by phone during WATZ 99.3 FM's on-air auction broadcast live from the Alpena Mall. Rotary club members worked in shifts, handling phone calls and bids between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., he said
Most popular was a portable $125 jump starter for automobiles, club member Eric Magness-Eubank said. Donated by Larry's Parts Haus, the item generated a total of 26 bids and sold for $102.
Nine yards of concrete valued at $918 from Lafarge North America brought in $835; a Mackinac Island Grand Hotel golfing package went for $355 and a charter flight and Traverse City shopping spree donated by Aviation North brought in $550.
The next step is for the winning bidders to pay for their items at the Bank of Alpena, 468 N. Ripley Blvd., Yaklin said. Items, such as gift cards, will be at the bank. Larger items will be available at Banner Realty or can be picked up at local businesses that donated the items. Payment receipts will provide that information.

The UTMB Fun Run - Page 2
With all five of the former male winners and a majority of the top-five finishers from the past several years scheduled to start the race, on paper, the 2010 UTMB was slated to be the most deeply competitive race in the event's history. Add to the mix the likes of America's most decorated ultrarunner, Scott Jurek, North Face athlete Mike Wolfe, a Japanese duo, Tsuyoshi Kaburaki and Kenichi Yamamoto, complete with their own film crew, on the women's side, Canadian Tracy Garneau (the 2010 women's Western States winner), former UTMB winner from England, Elisabeth Hawker, and a couple dozen other ultrarunners from around the globe vying for a top spot, and you were looking at the most competitive ultramarathon in the sport's young but rapidly maturing history.
"I'm not going to feel like I tarnished my title by finishing fifth," said Roes in reference to a nearly unprecedented, perfect winning record in his eight ultra races. "I want it to be a real organic experience, and let it unfold how it may." Being pulled from the course only 20 miles into the 104-mile race, however, is not what he had in mind.
That Mont Blanc, at 15,782 feet, is the highest mountain in Western Europe is reason enough to stage a competitive tour (French for turn) around the mountain's base. That a long-established and stunning hiking route—the Tour du Mont Blanc—has existed to accommodate such a tour is another reason. That Chamonix is arguably the birthplace and heart of European alpinism and mountaineering is reason enough to start and finish the race amidst the churches, cafes and boulangeries in the town center. That the Chamonix Valley is widely considered to be, as Mark Twain called it, "the death-sport capital of the world," is reason enough to wonder why the UTMB is only on its eighth year compared to other ultras that are approaching their 40th and 50th years.
Introduced in 2003, by Catherine Poletti and a group of outdoor enthusiasts, Les Trailers du Mont-Blanc, the inaugural UTMB welcomed over 700 runners to the starting line and saw less than 10 percent of them finish before the 46-hour cut off. The list of entrants nearly doubled for each of the next three years until it reached its capacity of 2500 runners (now down to 2300). "The UTMB is the Tour de France of ultrarunning," says Wolfe. "The Euro Super Bowl," says the Wasatch "Speed Goat" Karl Meltzer. On American soil, Roes compares its significance to the Boston or New York marathons, four of them, back-to-back, that is.
To accommodate the growing interest, in 2006, Poletti added a 60-mile "little sister to the UTMB"—the Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix (CCC). The course eliminates the first 48 miles of the UTMB by starting in the Italian town of Courmayeur, where it follows a slightly modified course for the first 12 miles before meeting up with the UTMB course, where it then crosses into Switzerland and through the town of Champex before returning to Chamonix. In 2008 the non-competitive, 152-mile Petite Trotte à Léon (PTL) was added for two- and three-person teams. A final race, Sur les Traces des Ducs de Savoie (TDS), was concocted in 2008. Though the four races combined accommodate over 5000 runners from nearly 60 countries, a start number is, still, so coveted that a point system has been introduced to ensure that lottery entrants have at least completed an ultramarathon prior ... preferably several.

Billy Bragg vs. the BNP
Billy Bragg Battles the BNP over England's Soul--But Does it Have One Anymore?
By Ed West
How is it that the loudest cries for diversity come from the drivers of Land Rovers? Or, at least, people who live in areas where everyone else does. Billy Bragg is campaigning in Barking against the BNP and although the folk singer doesn't drive a Chelsea tractor so far as I know, he does, in the words of Gary Bushell, "live in a lovely big house in West Dorset".
Of course Bragg can argue that he has a right to speak about the subject, as he didn't leave Barking because of immigration, but because he's wealthy and wanted somewhere nice and spacious. After all, Mick Jagger grew up across the river in the still very monocultural Dartford, but hasn't stuck around for all the Kent town's greater social solidarity - he's off on a beach in Mustique or wherever it is, as any sensible person would be.
And not many readers of this paper will begrudge Bragg his success. He's a working-class Essex lad who made his way out through hard graft and talent, which makes him (whether he likes it or not) a Tory poster boy.
But his hard-earned wealth does mean he now has what philosophers call "moral luck", while poor people in Barking and many other BNP targets don't. Bad moral luck is what people in dictatorships and wartime suffer - it means siding with a choice of two evil regimes, or deciding whether to lose your life or your honour. It means fate forcing you into making immoral decisions, which is what many working-class whites must now make.
Laban Tall has an interesting take on it, pointing out that Bragg now echoes the revised Labour policy. The official line used to be "multiculturalism is great for everyone"; these days it's "we realise now that mass immigration is actually pretty terrible for the poor, but we've gone this far, so you'll have to put it up with it; or vote for a party founded by a man who used to spend his weekends dressing up in brown shirt uniforms."
Many people considering that party are not, I suspect, very keen on "sending back" their ethnic friends, but on stopping the Government importing any more people. And they know Labour are not going to stop now - they're too much in thrall to the race relations industry and too many MPs rely on ethnic minority votes. They've invested too much in mass immigration. To admit mistakes would be like a cult member entertaining the possibility that the guy who says we're all going to be beamed up to heaven in a spaceship is not, after all, the reincarnation of Jesus, but a mental case.
I wonder how long before Bragg sees the light. He's a decent, thoughtful and patriotic man, and his opposition to racism is part of a decent English radical tradition; we all know about the Levellers and Chartists, but less well known is the solidarity of British workers with Jamaicans in the Morant Bay rebellion, or of Lancashire workers' selfless support for the anti-slavery North in the American Civil War.
Bragg is part of a tradition that wanted to reduce social inequality in Britain and foster friendships abroad; but multiculturalism and mass immigration is having quite the opposite effect, reducing social solidarity and destroying many of the decent aspects of life that once comprised, in Bragg's words, "England's soul". Whatever decision people in Barking make, that soul has gone.
I can't believe anybody would post a link from the "Telegraph" on Babble. That newspaper is one of the most vile and reactionary in all of the UK. It was openly pro-fascist in the Thirties, cheerleading for Franco and at least looking the other way about Hitler.
That paper has always despised Billy Bragg for his leading musical role in the struggle against Thatcherism in the Eighties. Billy was antinuclear, pro-miners, and a big supporter of Ken Livingstone's radical Greater London Council administration.
Of course they're going to diss Billy. What would anyone expect?
The plot thickens...I guess even the Anglican Bishop is freaking out about this.
Interestingly, Billy Bragg has been a supporter of English independance. Here's a recent interview, BTW. Part of the problem is that Labour's traditional base (unionised blue-collar workers) was sold out, in favour of business lobbies that benefit from liberalised immigration policies. Immigration is a major issue, impacting things like crime, intercultural friction and an overstressed NHS and council housing system. The likelihood that Britain'll hit 70M also frightens people. The Tories have only proposed modest reductions to immigration--remember that it was Thatcher who eliminated exit visas. Labour still stands by the Iraq misadventure, which pisses off many former Labour supporters. It's unfortunate that it's come to the point where the BNP, a racist bunch of buffoons, have become a viable party by default.
The NDP is also going the way of Labour: trading unions for businesses as supporters. There wasn't a peep from Layton, when stimulus funds were used to hire Chinese labour, in Esquimalt, to build a crane.

Technical Resources
This shaded polygon map shows the percent change in the amount of prime farmland area from 1992 to 1997 within each 8 digit hydrologic unit, using 1992 as a base year. The percentages are presented in four categories based on the following divisions: an increase of more than 2%, little change (less than 2% change), a decrease of 2% to 15%, and a decrease of over 15%. Areas with less than 5% prime farmland in both 1992 and 1997 are hatched. Areas with 95% or more Federal area are shown as gray.
Cautions for this Product:
Since prime farmland may occupy only a small percentage of the total area of some of the polygons, the map may leave a misleading impression as to the significance of higher rates of change in some areas where there is little prime farmland. Data are not shown where prime farmland is less than 5% of the total area. Data are not collected on Federal land. Data are not available for Alaska or the Pacific Basin. Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands is shown by 6-digit hydrologic unit.

Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD
NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: 8 Digit Hydrologic Unit Areas with Federal Land
Other Layers Displayed: States, Rivers
Federal land:
A land ownership class designating land that is owned by the Federal Government. It does not include, for example, trust lands administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs nor Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) land. No data are collected for any year that land is in this ownership. [NRI-97]
Prime farmland:
Land that has the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for producing food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops and is also available for these uses. It has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce economically sustained high yields of crops when treated and managed according to acceptable farming methods, including water management. In general, prime farmlands have an adequate and dependable water supply from precipitation or irrigation, a favorable temperature and growing season, acceptable acidity or alkalinity, acceptable salt and sodium content, and few or no rocks. They are permeable to water and air. Prime farmlands are not excessively erodible or saturated with water for a long period of time, and they either do not flood frequently or are protected from flooding.[SSM, USDA Handbook No. 18, October 1993]

Weeks of lobbying all for naught?
Tarpon Springs' city manager-lobbyist bent the ears of many in Tallahassee. But was she heard?
By ELENA LESLEY
Published May 6, 2007
TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Legislature's decision this week to shelve talks about property tax reform until a special session next month could be seen as a victory for Ellen Posivach.
Or not.
For the past seven weeks, the Tarpon Springs city manager hasn't reported to City Hall for work. Rather, she's lobbied on behalf of cities - her city in particular - full-time in Tallahassee. She's haunted the corridors of the House and Senate, peppering lawmakers with financial documents, describing, in full fiscal detail, how a drastic property tax rollback would hurt city services.
Perhaps lawmakers listened. Perhaps they understood they need to hammer out a plan more palatable for cities in a special session.
Then again, maybe they didn't.
Despite Tarpon Springs' expense and sacrifice of its top administrator, there's still no indication that cities will come through the property tax debacle any better off. Nor is it clear that Posivach, one of dozens of voices lobbying against the changes, made any significant individual impact.
Such is the amorphous nature of lobbying.
Posivach's "message has gotten through, " said Republican Rep. Peter Nehr, a former Tarpon Springs commissioner.
Nonetheless, Nehr joined his House colleagues last month in backing the most city-unfriendly plan, House Speaker Marco Rubio's proposal to roll back local government property tax revenues to 2001 levels. "Whether people agree with her or not is a different story."
The day before it all fell apart, before lawmakers decided they'd have to come back next month for a special session, Posivach sat at an outdoor cafe in the shadow of the state Capitol, picking at a small salad.
"Who knows?" she remarked Tuesday on her effectiveness in Tallahassee. But, she added: "Wherever I see an opening, I'm there."
It was her ability to catch people's attention that got Posivach to Tallahassee in the first place.
As lawmakers traveled the state several months ago, holding public hearings on property taxes, Posivach was at their heels.
"She's a real trouper, " said Sen. Mike Haridopolos, R-Melbourne, chairman of the Finance and Tax Committee, who said he'd seen Posivach at nearly every relevant forum and committee hearing.
City commissioners were impressed by her ability to present the city's case - from an insider perspective - and by the attention and respect she received from lawmakers. So when Posivach recommended that she turn her job over to Tarpon Springs' police chief for seven of the legislative session's nine weeks so she could head to Tallahassee, they said yes.
It's not abnormal for local governments to hire lobbyists on their behalf, and for city officials to spend a few days in Tallahassee during the annual session. But sending an actual city manager to do the job - for an entire session - is unorthodox.
But, commissioners said, Posivach is a special case. She'd had experience in Virginia lobbying on behalf of cities. And they believed she could do the job for a fraction of what hiring a professional lobbyist would cost.
Posivach estimates that her expenses will come to about $4, 600. City commissioners gave police Chief Mark LeCouris a 5 percent pay increase for the period he's running Tarpon Springs in her absence. His annual salary is about $100, 000.
Mayor Beverley Billiris said she only had one concern in sending her manager to the state capital: Would the city be okay without her? But when she went up to Tallahassee to check on Posivach after her first week, Billiris decided she was more needed there than at home.
"We need to be in their face, " Billiris said. "E-mails and phone calls aren't enough."
Posivach said she has done all she can to make herself visible. She started with a pop-culture reference.
"I appreciate your desire to turn back time, " she told members of the House Policy and Budget Council on March 9 of the plan to roll back property taxes to 2001 levels. "It didn't work for Cher and I don't think it will work for us."
On hearing the diva's name, Posivach said, council members snapped to attention.
"There are so many people talking to these folks, you need to make yourself stand out, " she said.
She's become a regular on the fourth and fifth floors of the Capitol, where lobbyists and journalists linger, trying to snag lawmakers as they come in and out of the chambers. She's pounded the endless legislative hallways, dropping in on lawmakers and their assistants.
"I started off in wedge shoes and am almost down to sandals, " she joked.
Lawmakers like Republican Rep. Tom Anderson, who represents part of Tarpon Springs, said she couldn't be doing more for her city - though he too voted for Rubio's tax plan.
"You can't beat eyeball-to-eyeball contact, " he said, adding that lawmakers would rather hear from elected or appointed officials than lobbyists.
Even lobbyists who make a living working for cities agree with this sentiment, to a certain extent. John Wayne Smith, a lobbyist for the Florida League of Cities, said Posivach has been a tremendous asset in Tallahassee.
"She's helped us break things down, " Smith said. "In Tallahassee, we're just looking at sheets of paper with numbers. There's a disconnect between those sheets and the actual outcomes."
Not all back on the home front are lauding Posivach's efforts.
Commissioner Peter Dalacos said he couldn't gauge how valuable Posivach's work in Tallahassee has been because she hasn't filed regular reports.
He said residents often ask him what she has been doing.
"They say, 'She's just up there hobnobbing, looking to network, ' " he said.
During one commission meeting, Dalacos recommended Posivach be more accountable for her time by filing regular reports. But the idea failed to get support. Dalacos' colleagues said they didn't want to micromanage the city manager and felt phone updates were sufficient.
"Things are too fragile" in Tallahassee, Billiris said. "If she puts information in writing (prematurely) no one will confide in her."
Dalacos said he will reserve judgment regarding whether the commission should have sent Posivach to Tallahassee until there is a final word on the property tax situation. If cities come out okay, he'll assume the trip was worthwhile.
But Billiris' opinion isn't as tied to outcomes.
"No matter what happens, I think our voices have been heard, " she said. "Whether they actually listened, we don't know."

The airline offered a capacity of 3,035m seat kilometres to the market during this quarter with a growth of 7% over prior year's level of 2,835m seat kilometres in the same period. The growth was mainly the result of the additional operations to Guangzhou, the daily Lusaka night time flights introduced in the summer of this year and increased frequencies to Lagos. In the European region capacity went down by 3% below prior year driven by the downgrade of the larger B777 flights to the B767 on the Amsterdam route despite increased direct operations to London. The Mid East, Far East and Asia region registered a capacity growth of 18% against prior year driven by increased frequencies to Dubai and Guangzhou. Capacity into the Northern Africa region decreased by 6% as a result of reduced trips into Djibouti through Addis Ababa while within East Africa although the direct operations to both Kigali and Bujumbura increased substantially the capacity in the region still reduced by 2% compared to prior year driven by DAR operations now operated by PrecisionAir in a joint venture arrangement on the route.

No Record Safe at Western States - Page 2
In the women's race, Ellie Greenwood of Banff, Alberta, defended her title and demolished Ann Trason's 18-year-old course record of 17:37:51, in the process becoming the first female ever to run under 17 hours with a 16:47:19. She finished 14th overall and was well ahead of runner-up Rory Bosio of Soda Springs, California, who still ran the fourth-fastest time in Western States history with an 18:08:06, good for second and 21st overall.
"The race went really well. I had no significant lows," says Greenwood, who did not keep track of her splits and only heard she was ahead of her pace from last year (when she ran 17:55:29) at the Rucky Chucky river crossing, at mile 79. "Just after Forest Hill [60 miles], I was concerned I might have gone too hard too soon, but by Rucky Chucky I knew I could hold on and despite the fact that my quads were beginning to feel pretty beat I was still moving at a good pace."
Dave Mackey of Boulder, Colorado, broke the master's record with a 15:53:56, placing fourth. Nick Clark of Fort Collins, Colorado, finished third for the second consecutive year in 15:44:09. Last year's runner-up Mike Wolfe of Missoula, Montana, finished 18th among men (19th overall) in 17:50:09 after falling off due to sickness near mile 75.
Aliza Lapierre of Williston, Vermont, finished third among women (23rd overall) in 18:18:29. Krissy Moehl of Boulder, Colorado, finished fourth (26th overall) in 18:29:15 (her 100-mile PR), while Bozeman, Montana's Nikki Kimball and Scuol, Switzerland's Lizzy Hawker came in behind her in fifth and sixth (27th and 28th overall), respectively. Kimball finished in 18:31:39 and Hawker clocked an 18:32:20.

Black Hills 100 Mile, 100K and 50 Mile
The directors of the Black Hills races, which start in Sturgis, South Dakota, the same day as Western States, bill their 100-mile event as an alternative to the storied, and more exclusive, competition in California. They even mimic Western States' finish, which takes place on a track.
Denver's Jeremy Bradford won the 100-mile in 20:50:11, surviving a late charge by Edina, Minnesota's John Horns (who was within 15 minutes with 17 miles to go) to win by nearly 35 minutes. Horns finished second in 21:25:46. Naoki Ouchi of Azumino City, Japan, finished third in 21:52:09.
All three times were faster than Adam Schwartz-Lowe's course record 23:01:42, set at the inaugural race, though the course had been adjusted this year and was shorter as a result.
Olga Varlamova-King of Austin, Texas, was the first woman in the 100-mile, crossing the line in 26:11:43. Andrea Risi finished second in 27:08:49 and Chicago's Beth Simpson-Hall finished third in 30:27:08.

2009 US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) Lidar: East Coast of Florida
These files contain topographic lidar data classified as ground (2) and unclassified (1) in accordance with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) classification standards. These data were collected by the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system along the coast of Florida from August 31 - October 3, 2009. The area of coverage includes portions of the coastline in the following counties: Brevard, Broward, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Saint Lucie. CHARTS integrates topographic and bathymetric lidar sensors, a digital camera and a hyperspectral imager on a single remote sensing platform for use in coastal mapping and charting activities. Data coverage generally extends along the coastline from the waterline inland 500 meters (topography) and offshore 1,000 meters or to laser extinction (bathymetry). Native lidar data is not generally in a format accessible to most Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Specialized in-house and commercial software packages are used to process the native lidar data into 3-dimensional positions that can be imported into GIS software for visualization and further analysis. The data were provided to NOAA CSC in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude, referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical positions were referenced to the NAD83 ellipsoid and provided in meters. The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) GEOID03 model was used to transform the vertical positions from ellipsoid to orthometric heights referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The format of the file was LAS version 1.1. For data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes, NOAA CSC converted the orthometric heights (NAVD88) back to ellipsoidal heights using GEOID03.
