Former Navy Steward Turns 105
By The Bunny
We're always told that life is short and we should appreciate each and every day we have on this earth. But, sometimes we are reminded that a lifetime can be very long, and that the daily stresses of our lives today will eventually fade into a distant memory. Spending some time at retirement home, especially one that cares for veterans, reinforces that lesson.
The Armed Forces Retirement Home is a pastoral oasis nestled in the heart of urban D.C. It has a storied past that dates back to 1851, when it was established as the "U.S. Military Asylum" in what was then a rural area of Washington, D.C. Among its historic buildings is a cottage that was used by President Lincoln as a summer getaway. But some of the best stories at the Home come from its residents. This week, the oldest one celebrated his 105th birthday. Navy Chief Steward Lorenzo Senires, who was born on August 10, 1905, was joined at a ceremony attended by his sons, grandchildren and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Rick West, as well as a team of Seabees who were on hand to dedicate a ship's anchor they recently planted on the grounds of the Home. Lauding this Navy veteran's longevity, the story of his life was recounted by David Watkins, director of the Home's Washington campus. A Philippine immigrant who came to the U.S. as a stowaway on a cruise ship, Senires was hired by an American housewife to be a "houseboy" for her. Her husband, a naval officer, was either overtly or obliquely influential because Senires enlisted in the Navy in 1926. He failed his first medical entrance exam because he did not weigh at least 100 pounds.
Senires served under Adm. John McCain on USS Nitro (AE-2) 1932-33 and says that he voted for Senator McCain for president because he had so much respect for his grandfather. He also served on USS Indianapolis (CA-35) before Pearl Harbor and lost many shipmates when the ship was sunk several years later. He was later assigned as a steward to a naval officer in Washington, D.C., and remained there for the majority of World War II. Senires obviously made a strong professional impression during this stint, as his son Dave Senires recalls his dad telling him that he later spent some time working for President Truman, fishing with him on the presidential yacht Sequoia and at Truman's "Little White House" in Key West.
For those of us who have lived for less than a century, centenarians like Senires give us some perspective on our own lives. Think about how much change he has seen in his life: World War I and World War II, Pearl Harbor and 9-11, the advent of flight, computers, changes in race relations, the women's movement, rock 'n' roll – the list is endless. What does it feel like to look back on a century of living? Senires is a bit hard of hearing now, but seems to have most of his faculties and certainly has retained his sense of humor – something many elderly people say is the key to surviving old age. When his son asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he answered unequivocally that he wanted a young woman and his driver's license.

Very similar to the P2 string, the Kirschbaum Pro Line No. II offers a bit more ball pocketing and forgiveness than most co-polys. This string has great durability and maintains tension exceptionally well. A nice blend of power and control.

By Kevin Tate/Outdoors Writer
Castoff scales from dressed crappie covered the ground like snowflakes around the work bench we'd made into a cleaning station, glittering white and silent in the sun. Spring break was over and school was back, but evidence of the prior week's bonanza still lay in plain sight. Every spring since I've thought of those days, the most productive run of one-at-a-time pole fishing I've ever known.
The Old Men and I caught crappie on the newly-opened Tenn-Tom Waterway from daylight until dark, dressed fish until the wee hours beneath the stars and the hanging extension cord lights back home, then sailed again each morning for the same.
On the water, the fishing was fast. The hot spot was an acre's tangle of honeysuckle vines, and hooks had to be replaced almost as often as rebaited. At home, though, the cleaning was a careful process. The Old Men were not of the filleting persuasion, any hint of meat left on the bone being a shameful waste, so we headed and scaled the crappie and froze them whole. You might think it would be hard to be thorough scaling scores of crappie in the semi-darkness after a week of days on the water, and you would be right. One of my mentors often excused such difficulties by saying whoever ate the most crappie ate the most scales. He wasn't involved at our cleaning table, though, because the Old Men whose operation this was required perfection.
Over the course of hours, fish progressed in single file from my scaling station to the cleaning station, then to the final rinsing station, being reinspected for scales at each. By the time they hit the freezer they were guaranteed clean, though they'd all be looked over again before being battered and fried. While consciousness gave way to the rhythm of work, a bond was formed between us, though I couldn't see it at the time, never suspected it until years later in fact.
As the last cooler's trove slowly dwindled and the bottom came occasionally into view, the Old Men would begin asking, "Can you see him yet?" "Him," in this case, being the last fish in the box. When the final fish did appear, the Old Men would say, "There he is! The one we've been looking for. Should have dressed him first and been done," a joke that was shopworn then but a familiar favorite for me now.
Societies without a written language carry their history though spoken tradition, stories told across the ages from one generation to the next. The method is thought primitive, but there's something vital caught in sound memories that printed words just can't convey. When I tell their jokes now, I hear them in my mind as I once heard them told, refreshing a bond that remains strong as ever.

Why Not
I am a husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. I believe in sharing my talents and experiences by giving back to the community by giving my time to coaching, church and especially to the disability community. I truly believe that all men and women are created equally.
Grassroots Advocacy
They say that Legislators only listen to the big money, but I am here to tell that the really good legislators do listen to their constituents.
A group of grass roots parents have been able to successfully keep a very bad piece of legislation, special needs vouchers, from coming to the floor of the Wisconsin legislature for a vote. Each and every person involved in the Stop Special Needs Vouchers, has had regular contact with out State legislators and shared our concerns with this legislation. We know that it will be back again, in fact Sen Fitzgerald has said that it is "teed up for next session". Each person involved in this fight is from across the State of Wisconsin. I can attest to the fact that legislators from around the State heard from the people of Wisconsin that do not believe in this bill.
There is no place like our nation's capital, Washington DC, to get a real feel for legislation on a national level. State legislation is great and I have worked well with my elected officials, Sen Chris Larson and Rep Christine Sinicki, but there is something about being in Washington that takes it to another level. If you are like me and want to make a difference when it comes to any issue, as you know mine is disability issues, there is no place like Washington to accomplish this. There are those that sit back and talk about it and then there are those who go out and try to make that difference.
This past week, I spent time in Washington for a Disability Policy Seminar, which culminates with visits to as many of Wisconsin's elected officials as possible. There were about a dozen or so from Wisconsin that participated in this seminar. We spent two days brushing up on the issues, everything from Medicaid to community living, community employment, Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act to seclusion and restraint in schools. We heard from legislative staffers and experts in their specific field and what worked best on them, each and every one said it was the personal stories from the respective legislative district. In the end, it is all about civil rights for individuals with disabilities.
Our group split up and met with the actual congressmen or staffers for 10 of the Wisconsin delegation. I actively participated in 3 of the visits, including meeting with a key staff member in Congresswoman Gwen Moore's office. There was so much going on this week, one of my visits was scheduled with a legislator, but he was called to a committee meeting and we ended up meeting with a key staffer. I have learned through the years that staff is just as important to build relationships with as we do with the actual legislator. It is so easy to talk about the issues that you are passionate about.
It is something about these visits that is really exciting. When I attend to various advocacy days in Madison, there are many different colored t-shirts. In Washington, I saw a group wearing pageant sashes and another group wearing styrofoam vaudeville style hats. When walking between legislative office buildings, it is amazing how crowded it gets. There were individuals just going office to office handing out their literature. There were visits with anywhere from 1 to 15 individuals. It is really exciting to be a part of this. For me, it is a complete rush being involved in these types of events.
No trip to Washington is complete without seeing the White House and a walk through The Mall. The night we walked through the Mall, we realized that no visit to Washington for a disability policy seminar would be complete without visiting the FDR Memorial. Since we are fighting this as a civil rights issue, we had to stop at the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial. As we walked around, we each selected our favorite quote on the wall, mine was "Make a career of humanity, commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country and a finer world to live in." With the winter we all survived, it was nice to be able to walk around in just a jacket and see the cherry blossoms.
Each time I come back from these types of advocacy efforts, no matter if a State visit or even more so from Washington, I always get that bug about becoming an elected official. I am thankful that there are no current races to get involved in because there is always a huge time commitment when running and running the right way. I need to sit and think before jumping in with both feet.

The combined efforts of the Emery and Carbon county sheriff's offices will result in the Emergency Preparedness Fair on June 18 at the Spartan Center.
The fair will begin at 4-8 p.m. Events, demonstrations and speakers will be presented during the fair.
Nielson Construction is offering free hamburgers and hotdogs for their support of the event.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "There will be showings of the Crandall Canyon Presentation. The powerpoint presentation at this year's fair was originally commissioned for and presented at the Governor's Public Safety Summit 2009. The presentation is a touching look into the most recent mine accident and tragedy that stunned our locale as well as the state, Aug. 6, 2007. Six coal miners were trapped after a mine collapse. Later, on Aug. 16, 2007, the mine collapsed again when one of the walls of the tunnel exploded outwards, killing three rescue workers and injuring six others. The community pulled together in support of the miners, rescue workers and their families. This presentation will take a look at the full scope of the incident including rescue attempts, with insightful interviews and pictures of the ensuing impact on miners, emergency responders and the community. The focus of the show is on the heroic efforts of the rescue workers who were willing to endanger their lives for the trapped miners. I will be on hand at the presentation for any discussion and questions."
Ron Mosher noted Homeland Security expert wil be the featured speaker at the event. Displays and booths showing emergency preparedness items will be on display in the Spartan Center. The speakers will be in the auditorium. The Crandall Canyon presentation will be in the Little Theatre of the Spartan Center. The LifeFlight helicopter and canine demonstrations will be on the football field.

Increased quality and color options.
Lighter, faster, and more colorful — all superlatives that confidently describe Jagwire's Mountain Pro Shift Cable Kit. This kit features a compression-less, Kevlar-reinforced housing and a fully-lubricated Light Lube Liner (L3). And because of this, the housing is up to 30% lighter, and considerably stronger, than standard housings. But, let us not forget that you also have eight color choices.
Of course, aesthetics are important, but only second to actual performance gains. And that's what you get with the Jagwire Pro Mountain Derailleur Kit. Its L3 technology adds lubricant to the already slippery Teflon-coated stainless steel cables. So, they glide through the housing in order to ensure effortless, snappy shifts.
The Jagwire Mountain Pro Shift Cable Kit: Three lined ferrules, seven nosed ferrules, six cable donuts, one raincoat boot, two cable tips and 2100mm of sealing liner. The front cable measures 1500mm, and the rear 2100mm. 1800mm of housing is also provided, and it's compatible with both SRAM and Shimano mountain derailleurs.
Choose between the colors White, Red, SID Blue, Pink, Maxxis Orange, Lime Green, Sterling Silver, and Black Carbon.

- Light Lube Liner (L3)

If you are going to use gears...
Nice color selection to add a piece of flare to your bike.
Light-weight too.
Best cables out there
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Have these on all 4 of my bikes. Have not had any issues. Cables slide very slick with no friction. Very durable and dependable. Plus color matching is a plus! Wife loves blue color on her bike. Also sll bikes are 1x but it is still worth it even if you get front derailleur set. You pay for what you get!
You people need to find another way to ship products, two weeks from Utah to Maine is absurd even if drop shipped. I will not be ordering from your company again. If you ship UPS, ship directly to a residence not to local post office. If found out I could have had the same item for same money from a nearby bike shop in 4 days.
no complaints
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been using this cable set for about 20hrs now. No complaints so far. I did a full drive train upgrade so everything is like butter. and the color choice matches my bike, so +1
I want to run full length housing from shifter to rear derailleur on a large frame. Will this kit have enough housing to do so?
Yes. I did this on my Nickel.
Works - Yes, but will not buy again
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The cable has provided smooth shifting but be warned only one of the cables will work for a rear derailleur. If you are 1 x 11, that's a really expensive derailleur cable.

We attend sporting events and movies for similar reasons. We hope to be entertained by riveting, suspenseful stories. We hope to witness virtuoso performances, whether they are delivered by Peyton Manning on the football field or Meryl Streep on the big screen. We go knowing full well the narrative's ending might not be to our liking. Our hero may die, our team may lose, and when we walk out of the stadium or the theater, we feel compelled to critique what we just saw. Why did the coach call that play? Why did the screenwriter choose that plot? Two thumbs up. Two thumbs down. Then, on to the next drama, the next game.
In recognition of the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony, I'm switching hats this week and playing movie critic instead of sportswriter. But I'm sticking to a genre I'm familiar with and offering my 20 favorite sports movies of all time. This was a much more difficult task than I anticipated, because the crop of candidates was bountiful. Let the debating begin.
20. "Chariots of Fire" (1981). This historical drama chronicles the experiences of two runners—an English Jew and a Scottish Christian—at the 1924 Olympics. One runs to overcome prejudice, the other as a testament to his faith. The musical score is magnificent.
19. "Rudy" (1993). Though lacking in size, football skills and good grades, Rudy Ruettiger (Sean Astin) overcomes daunting odds and fulfills his lifelong dream to play football at Notre Dame.
18. "A League of Their Own" (1992). Thanks to director Penny Marshall, a forgotten slice of history is brought to life in this fictional account of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, whose heyday was during World War II. Geena Davis stars as the long-limbed catcher, and Tom Hanks is memorable as the drunken manager.
17. "42" (2013). The hatred and violence Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) endured while integrating Major League Baseball in 1947 is movingly captured in this biopic about the former Brooklyn Dodgers star. Boseman is quite convincing, as is Harrison Ford as Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey.
16. "White Men Can't Jump" (1992). Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes play an odd-couple hoops duo hustling opponents on the asphalt basketball courts of New York City to pay off gambling debts.
15. "Million Dollar Baby" (2004). Clint Eastwood plays a gruff boxing trainer who helps Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) become a skilled pugilist and earn a title match. But Fitzgerald's dream becomes a nightmare when she suffers a broken neck in the ring and becomes a quadriplegic.
14. "Pride of the Yankees" (1942). Gary Cooper stars as the legendary Lou Gehrig, the Yankees slugger dying of a disease that will later bear his name. The most poignant scene, of course, is Gehrig's "Luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech, regarded by many as baseball's Gettysburg Address.
13. "Major League" (1989). A fictional, ragtag Cleveland Indians team rallies in an effort to spite an owner who wants the club to tank so she can move it to another city. Charlie Sheen is marvelous as the Wild Thing relief pitcher with the Coke-bottle-thick glasses, and real-life major league broadcaster Bob Uecker delivers numerous memorable lines as the Indians' always-sloshed play-by-play man.
12. "The Hustler" (1961). In a riveting tale, small-time pool hustler Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) tries to make a name for himself against the world-renowned Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). George C. Scott is outstanding as Fast Eddie's unscrupulous manager.
11. "Eight Men Out" (1988). John Cusack and David Strathairn give brilliantly understated performances as two of the eight underpaid Chicago White Sox players who take bribes to throw the 1919 World Series.
10. "Seabiscuit" (2003). In another outstanding underdog and forgotten-history story, the undersized and knobby-kneed Seabiscuit upsets mighty Man o' War in one of the most famous horse races of all time.
9. "Caddyshack" (1980). Director Harold Ramis' masterpiece has become a cult film among golf fans. Bill Murray's memorable lines continue to be repeated in bars and on greens and fairways.
8. "Brian's Song" (1971). While portraying Chicago Bears running backs Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers, James Caan and Billy Dee Williams convey the deep bond that developed between a white man and a black man at a time when racial tensions ran high in America. The banquet speech by Williams, urging people to pray for his dying friend, will send you scrambling for the Kleenex.
7. "Rocky" (1976). Boxing's ultimate David vs. Goliath tale pits working-class hero Rocky Balboa against the seemingly invincible Apollo Creed. It's all quite hokey, but Sylvester "Yo, Adrian" Stallone manages to pull it off.
6. "Slap Shot" (1977). Paul Newman is excellent as the hockey coach who revives a ragtag minor-league team. Several scenes were shot in Central New York. The brawling, bespectacled Hanson Brothers became hockey folk heroes as a result of this film.
5. "The Natural" (1984). Baseball has inspired more movies than any other sport, and Robert Redford is excellent as "the best there ever was," slugger Roy Hobbs. Interestingly, Redford played on the same California high school team as legendary pitcher Don Drysdale.
4. "Bull Durham" (1988). This romantic comedy, starring Kevin Costner as baseball journeyman Crash Davis and Susan Sarandon as baseball-worshipping Annie Savoy, was written by former Rochester Red Wings utility infielder Ron Shelton. Shelton told me Davis is based loosely on former Red Wings player and manager Joe Altobelli.
3. "Raging Bull" (1980). Robert DeNiro delivers a knockout performance in this portrayal of boxer Jake LaMotta, superbly capturing the champ's violent outbursts in and out of the ring. Director Martin Scorsese's decision to shoot the film in bleak black-and-white adds to its gritty feel.
2. "Hoosiers" (1986). Gene Hackman's portrayal of the curmudgeonly coach who goads his small-school team to the Indiana high school basketball championship was Oscar-worthy. Jack Nicholson turned down the role, and thank goodness he did, because Hackman was perfect.
1. "Field of Dreams" (1989). Yes, the plot may be corny and improbable, but the baseball nostalgia and the bond between fathers and sons resonate with me. The ending scene of the Costner character playing catch with the ghost of his father still brings tears to my eyes 25 years later.
Award-winning columnist and best-selling author Scott Pitoniak was an extra in the 1999 movie "For Love of the Game," starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston.

Here's my list: the 20 greatest sports movies of all time
We attend sporting events and movies for similar reasons. We hope to be entertained by riveting, suspenseful stories. We hope to witness virtuoso performances, whether they are delivered by Peyton Manning on the football field or Meryl Streep on the big screen. We go knowing full well the narrative's ending might not be to our liking. Our hero may die, our team may lose, and when we walk out of the stadium or the theater, we feel compelled to critique what we just saw. Why did the coach call that play? Why did the screenwriter choose that plot? Two thumbs up. Two thumbs down. Then, on to the next drama, the next game.

Old practices, new solutions: indigenous groups sign up for conservation
Cambridge (UK) / Nairobi, 9 August 2010 - Although thousands of miles apart, the lush Kaya Kinondo forest on Kenya's eastern coast and the sprawling Cerro Chango reserve in the hills of southern Mexico have more in common than one might think. Both are exceptionally diverse habitats, teeming with plant and animal species, but, more unusually, the two areas are also administered by indigenous communities (the Digo-Mijikenda and Chinanteco peoples), whose traditional practices dictate how these rich habitats are managed. In some cases, local customs take precedence over the laws of national governments.
These two remote communities are far from isolated cases. Indeed, it is estimated that 11% of the world's forests are under community ownership.
A new project run by UNEP's World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC), with support from the Global Environment Facility Smalls Grants Programme implemented by the United Nations Development Programme, is now bringing greater attention to the links between indigenous communities, conservation and biodiversity.
In these societies, local habitats, landscapes or species are often an integral part of cultural and religious identities. Kenya's Kaya Kinodo forest, for example, was traditionally considered as a sacred site, where prayers and burials took place, as well as a practical resource, providing employment, food and medicine.
Indigenous communities' efforts to conserve their home environments - coupled with efforts to combat threats such as climate change and deforestation - has piqued the interest of increasing numbers of environmentalists worldwide.
Yet detailed information is often lacking on the day-to-day conservation practices in many of these areas. In India for example, around 200 community-controlled areas have been formally documented, but research by a local NGO suggests that as many as 10,000 may exist.
UNEP-WCMC's project set out to gather and compile information on communities living in so-called Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs). These are defined as natural sites and habitats that are conserved voluntarily by indigenous peoples and local communities using traditional rules and practices. Some of these areas measure less than one hectare in size, while others stretch for miles, encompassing mountains, lakes and entire landscapes.
In order to build a better picture of how such communities contribute to biodiversity, UNEP's World Conservation Monitoring Centre has developed the ICCA Registry in partnership with an international consortium of NGOs and conservation groups. The registry comprises about 40 questions covering practical information such as the location, area and habitat type of the ICCA as well as details on how the community is governed, its social customs and conservation practices. Four countries have been targeted so far: Mexico, Kenya, Fiji and the Philippines. To date, a total of 13 communities have made submissions to the registry, ranging from fishing ports to mountain villages.
"A key part of this process has been to work slowly, gaining the support and trust of these communities", says project manager Colleen Corrigan of UNEP-WCMC. "While there is valid concern for using caution when mapping these areas, there is also genuine potential to use this initiative to help secure communities and habitats under threat. In five years, we hope to share a much better and deeper understanding of the global contributions of ICCAs to biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing."
But besides the obvious interest to conservationists, what are the benefits for the communities themselves? According to those who have already taken part, the registry can promote the conservation efforts of indigenous groups, helping to attract potential support from governments or other third parties. On a more basic level, the registry allows interaction between different indigenous groups worldwide, allowing communities to share experiences of issues of common concern.
The Maya community from San Crisanto in Mexico has already signed up to the registry. Situated in an area of outstanding biodiversity, San Crisanto boats over 1000 hectares of forest and mangroves and has been home to the Maya since 250 BC.
In San Crisanto, tradition dictates that the whole community is responsible for the governance of the area, with key decisions being taken by an assembly of thirty elders.
The community's conservation efforts have enjoyed real success in recent years. After suffering widespread devastation from hurricanes in 1996, the Maya began urgent repair work to improve the community's canals and regenerate local mangroves: the community's principal ecosystem. This brought a 25% increase in fish populations, an increased number of birds, and the general recovery of the ecosystem.
Today, the community in San Crisanto is continuing to pursue conservation and regeneration activities, with the Maya also benefitting from increased revenues from ecotourism. Education and training projects have also highlighted the importance of conservation within the community. According to community representatives, taking part in the ICCA Registry has been a key part of promoting their conservation work.
"The publication of information and data will allow more people to know about our project", says Jose Ines Loria from San Crisanto. "[The ICCA Registry] allows us to share our experience with other communities and to show those who are sceptical that community conservation and development is possible."
UNEP-WCMC now plans to expand the registry to encompass more indigenous communities across the world, thereby giving greater recognition to other, little-known success stories.
It is hoped that by mapping and revitalizing ancestral practices that often date back thousands of years, new solutions to modern problems such as habitat loss, climate change adaptation, and combating deforestation can be found.

You could visit a different lake or pond in Maine every day for nearly a decade. The state's two largest lakes get a lot of attention: Sebago was ringed years ago with second homes, and Moosehead is today a battlefield between environmentalists and a major landowner who has proposed a large-scale resort and vacation-home community. And the smallest ponds … well, they're as common as pinecones, but there's that lack-of-grandeur thing.
Happily, Maine is home to a tremendous collection of intermediate-size wild lakes–places big enough to get lost on, and blessed with historic land-ownership patterns that have kept large shore parcels unbuilt. Some of these lakes are eroding along the margins, but not all.
East and West Grand lakes, situated an hour's drive apart near the Maine/New Brunswick border, have quietly benefited from conservation measures over the past decade, with more projects in the works. Indeed, about a million acres of contiguous forest in Canada and eastern Maine have been conserved in a patchwork of public and private lands where future development is prohibited. Several nonprofit land trusts have been quietly protecting these places, hoping to keep things as they are. The Woodie Wheaton and Downeast Lakes land trusts, for instance, are making great strides in ensuring that the shores of both East and West Grand and Spednic lakes remain wild. Talking to these folks recently, I recalled the restoration work being done at Walden Pond. The scale is different–Walden is trying to bring back shoreline by the foot, while here, conservation is being done by the mile–but the goals are much the same.
The shores in this region are still thick with dour spruce, aloof birch, and expansive white pines, which always seem to be celebrating something. The water is startlingly clear, though sometimes sepia-tinged from tannins, the product of rainwater passing through the great filter of the inscrutable hemlock groves along the shores. Paddling last summer around boulder-strewn Spednic Lake, a host of dragonflies perched on my boat; I figured with the long, bright hull and yellow blades feathering out, it must have looked like the mother ship. I passed ancient sporting camps, some appearing as if they'd at last conceded after decades of fighting the forest and were happily reverting to moss and mushrooms.
Gliding around some thickly forested islands on the Canadian side of Spednic Lake, distracted by a pair of bald eagles soaring overhead, I realized at one point that the islands around me were now indistinguishable, all clumps of spires and rounded crowns. For a moment I had no idea where I was. And that, of course, was the moment I realized that I'd found what I'd come looking for.

Search underway for Schofield's replacement at Tesoro
Despite being a part of Tesoro soccer since the school's infancy, girls soccer coach Nick Schofield decided he will not continue coaching the Titans next season.
"I just felt at this time I needed more time for myself and my family," Schofield said by phone Tuesday.
Schofield spent three seasons as an assistant with the Tesoro boys soccer program before taking over as head coach of the girls team for the 2006-07 season. In seven seasons coaching the Tesoro girls, Schofield amassed an 81-52-30 record and took the Titans to the playoffs six times.
"Just this past season it's been on my mind," Schofield said, adding that the decision was not related to the Titans' disappointing 4-11-5 record in 2012-13.
A native of Northern Ireland, Schofield said the opportunity to visit family overseas during holiday breaks factored into the decision. The high school season typically runs from December through February and this past season the Titans played in a tournament starting two days after Christmas.
Schofield will continue to work as a physical education teacher at Ladera Ranch Middle School and said he will still coach one club soccer team.
"I'll never give it up," Schofield said. "I'll always be coaching in some way."
Tesoro Athletic Director Gil Ramirez said in an email Wednesday the search for a new coach has already begun.
Ramirez said the position and application process will be listed online and remain open until May 31.
Schofield said he hopes to help be a part of the process of picking his replacement and said he will assist over the summer and early fall getting freshman acclimated to the program before fully stepping aside.
"I know there's going to be interest from people within our district and if there's not a suitable candidate they'll look elsewhere," Schofield said, adding that a coach being promoted from within the program was a possibility as well.
Ramirez said Wednesday he is aiming to have a new coach selected and in place by July 1.

DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint
Rancho Cordova, CA – The Rancho Cordova Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Friday, December 16, 2011 at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. DUI checkpoints are a proven enforcement tool effective in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-publicized checkpoints are conducted often enough.
Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Officers will also check for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
"Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed 2 lives and resulted in 39 injury crashes harming 56 of our friends and neighbors," said Sgt. Lane of the Rancho Cordova Police Department Traffic Unit.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.
"Deaths from drunk and drug-impaired driving are going down in California," said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). "But that still means that hundreds of our friends, family and co-workers are killed each year, along with tens of thousands who are seriously injured. We must all continue to work together to bring an end to these tragedies. If you see a Drunk Driver – Call 9-1-1."
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to Rancho Cordova Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, targeting those who still don't heed the message to designate a sober driver.
MEDIA NOTES: To schedule an interview regarding the Rancho Cordova Traffic Safety Operations, please contact Sergeant Jerry Lane at (916) 876-6675 or via email at email@example.com. To schedule an interview regarding impaired driving efforts and programs in California please contact Chris Cochran, California Office of Traffic Safety at (916) 509-3063 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Shawnee National Forest is famed for its awesome Garden of the Gods, and is home to the Rim Rock Recreational Trail (the forest has a system of 403 miles of equestrian/hiking trails). Hikers are greeted by magnificent jutting walls of rock covered with emerald-green moss, and paths that meander through canyons under the forest canopy. Nestled between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the stunning Shawnee National Forest landscape features rolling hills, lakes, creeks and rugged bluffs. If you're into climbing than a must-see is Jackson Falls, located near the town of Ozark in the Hidden Springs Ranger District in Shawnee National Forest. The climb takes place on 60 feet of sandstone cliffs and boulders that include numerous freestanding towers.
Located near the town of Ozark in the Shawnee National Forest, Jackson Falls offers arguably the best rock climbing in southern Illinois. There are roughly 60 climbing areas along the sandstone bluffs and freestanding boulders, each with multiple named routes on them. There are over 500 named routes in all. Most of the routes are 50-60 feet in height. The whole area sits in a very scenic glen. Most of the routes at Jackson Falls are sport routes, though there are a number of traditional routes, and a few areas suitable for setting up a top-rope. There are also many excellent bouldering opportunities here.
The Little Grand Canyon trail is located within the Shawnee National Forest. Experience the easy 3.6 miles of beauty it offers as you ride your bike or hike these fun trails that meander past lush wooded canyons, riverside bluffs, songbirds, woodpeckers and deer; while hawks and vultures soar high above the cliffs. Explore towering rock walls, eroded sandstone canyons, craggy bluffs and moist bottom lands, too.
It's all about the water at Rend Lake, where you can swim, boat, water ski and fish. Relax at Rend Lake Resort, tee off at the 27-hole Rend Lake Golf Course or do some target practice at the Rend Lake Shooting Complex. Also located at Rend Lake is the Southern Illinois Art & Artisans Center, featuring more than 800 artists.

Herrin Park District is a beautiful, well kept park with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool as well as a multipurpose recreation complex. The park offers two walking paths with a quarter-mile all weather track, and a one-mile lighted walking trail. Herrin Park is an excellent place for a leisurely jog. You can even enjoy feeding the beautiful ducks.
Lusk Creek Canyon is the most well known whitewater run in Southern Illinois. The creek starts out in woodland bottoms with relatively minor gradient but soon is surrounded by rocky hillsides and cliffs. These cliffs rise out of the water to heights over one hundred feet. After the canyon section, the cliffs recede and the creek is surrounded by forest for the final mile. Rapids on this creek are at low to moderate levels and are mostly Class II in nature. However, this is not a good beginner run. This creek flows through forests before entering the canyon.
This semi-private, nine-hole course features a historic three-story clubhouse, surrounded by Lake Moses. Host of the annual Benton Gold Cup, the course also features a well-stocked pro shop, driving range, rental clubs and carts, and a golf pro on site.
Located on the northeast corner of Johnston City, this 35-acre lake includes a paved boat ramp for fishing, walking path, and campground. Only electric motors and canoes are permitted. You will find largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, black and white crappie, and channel catfish in this small reservoir. Pedal boat rentals are available from July-September.

Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Andriy Shkilko named Canada Research Chair in Financial Markets at Laurier
Mar 28/14| For Immediate Release
Abby Goodrum, Vice-President, Research
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director
WATERLOO - Andriy Shkilko, Wilfrid Laurier University associate professor of finance, has been appointed to the position of Canada Research Chair in Financial Markets.
Canada Research Chair (CRC) appointments across Canada were officially announced by the honourable Ed Holder, minister of state (science and technology), at the University of Alberta on March 28.
Shkilko will be studying the recent structural shift in financial markets whereby high-speed computers have been replacing human traders. High-speed trading generates over 50 per cent of the volume in some markets. Given the ultra-high frequencies at which computers switch positions (often, their speeds are incomprehensible to human senses), governments and finance professionals are questioning the effects of high-frequency trading on the functionality and fairness of financial markets. Shkilko will use the latest data and methods to address the question asked by regulators across the globe: Is high-frequency trading harmful?
I believe that this research program will significantly enhance our understanding of modern securities markets and will result in valuable evidence-based policy recommendations, said Shkilko.
Shkilko will begin his appointment as a Tier 2 CRC on July 1.
We are pleased that Dr. Shkilko will be assuming this Canada Research Chair at Laurier, said Abby Goodrum, vice-president: research. He has the vision and the determination to build a strong research presence in market microstructure which promises to have an important impact on policymaking in Canada and beyond.
With Shkilkos appointment, Wilfrid Laurier University will have 11 Canada Research Chairs in disciplines ranging from international human rights to forests and global change.
Our government is committed to supporting top researchers across all disciplines through programs such as the Canada Research Chairs Program, said Holder. More than 1,700 chairholders are pushing the frontiers of knowledge in universities and colleges throughout Canada, driving jobs, growth and economic prosperity for Canadians.
In 2000, the Government of Canada created a permanent program to establish 2000 research professorshipsCanada Research Chairsin eligible degree-granting institutions across the country. The Canada Research Chairs program invests $300 million per year to attract and retain some of the world's most accomplished and promising minds and make Canada one of the world's top countries in research and development.
Following the CRC announcements on March 28, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) announced more than $3 million in new funding for research infrastructure that will support the latest appointments to the Canada Research Chairs program. Laurier's Andriy Shkilko received a Leaders Opportunity Fund award of $36,883 for "A Program of Study of Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading and Other Recent Technology-Driven Changes in Global Financial Markets."

Q: Governor, do you believe that President Barack Obama was born in the United States?
A: I have no reason to think otherwise.
Q: That's not a definitive, "Yes, I believe he"—
A: Well, I don't have a definitive answer, because he's never seen my birth certificate.
Q: But you've seen his.
A: I don't know. Have I?
Q: You don't believe what's been released?
A: I don't know. I had dinner with Donald Trump the other night.
Q: And?
A: That came up.
Q: And he said?
A: He doesn't think it's real.
Q: And you said?
A: I don't have any idea. It doesn't matter. He's the President of the United States. He's elected. It's a distractive issue.
There you have it. Governor Rick Perry believes Article II of the Constitution is a distraction. These experts know if it is real:
Numerous Computer Experts Tear Apart Obama's Forged Long-Form Birth Certificate - VIDEO HERE

Non Stop Sydney-Cairns Flights Take Off01/07/2002
No More Barriers To The Reef With Virgin Blue Service
Virgin Blue has added yet another route to its rapidly expanding network with non-stop low fare flights between Sydney and Cairns touching down today.
The inaugural flight will arrive in Cairns at 1pm this afternoon to a warm welcome by staff from Cairns Port Authority, Tourism Tropical North Queensland and Quicksilver Connections.
Following strong demand on current connecting flights between the two cities Virgin Blue has launched the new direct service with fares starting from $219* one way and a Fully Flexible walk-up fare of $499* one way, nearly a third less than the $699 walk-up fare the competition has been demanding from the travelling public until now.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, Travellers have jumped on our low fare services to North Queensland and our move to provide an efficient and cost effective link between Sydney and Cairns was a natural progression for Virgin Blue.
With strong forward bookings in both directions, Virgin Blue is expecting high demand on this direct route as visitors taking advantage of Virgin Blue's high quality service, low fare travel option.
Even people who have not planned their holidays in advance can still take advantage of Virgin Blue's everyday low fares.
Brett Godfrey continued, As long as flights keep filling we will continue to add even more services to and from Sydney and greater frequency to key tourism and business routes in the future.
Flights to Cairns will depart Sydney daily at 9.50am giving southerners the perfect opportunity to work on a winter tan in the sun-kissed tropics.
As the gateway to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef, Cairns offers a relaxed, cosmopolitan lifestyle for Sydney-siders wanting to experience the wonders of Far North Queensland.
Guests travelling to and from Cairns will also enjoy more comfortable and modern airport facilities following Virgin Blue's recent move into the Cairns Domestic Terminal in May.
It's a big day for the low fare airline with the Sydney - Cairns launch coinciding with the start of Virgin Blue's new direct Adelaide - Gold Coast service and following hot on the heels of the new non-stop Sydney - Perth flights.
Virgin Blue currently serves approximately 20% of the domestic market and is keen to continue expanding to make sure it keeps the competition honest and the fares low on as many routes as possible.
Virgin Blue's aircraft delivery program is on schedule, with the airline set to be flying 23 Boeing Next Generation 737 aircraft around Australian and possibly international skies by the end of this year.
* Fares include all taxes including the Ansett passenger ticket levy and are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone.

Secretary of the Interior Presents "Partners in Conservation" Awards to Four BLM-Led Partnerships
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar presented his "Partners in Conservation" Awards to a number of outstanding conservation partnerships at a ceremony today. The awardees included four BLM-coordinated partnerships: the Gila Watershed Partnership of Arizona; New Mexico's Permian Basin Memorandum of Agreement Program; Oregon's Jefferson Conservation Corps; and the nationwide Project Archaeology program.
These awards recognize partnerships that use innovation and collaboration to promote conservation, initiate large landscape projects, and protect natural and cultural resources through diverse stakeholder and youth engagement. A national panel assembled by the Department of the Interior selected the award winners from a large pool of nominees. Winners were chosen for their exceptional contributions to conservation and management of the public lands.
"Every day, I am proud to see BLMers working with other agencies, state and local governments, advocacy groups and the public to ensure that the lands under our care will be here for future generations to enjoy," BLM Director Bob Abbey said. "These collaborative conservation efforts are actively improving the health of America's public lands through BLM-led partnerships that promote shared stewardship and public engagement," he added.
Representatives from the winning partnerships were recognized by the Department in an awards reception held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building followed by an award presentation ceremony with Secretary Salazar at the Department's South Interior Building.
In congratulating the winners, BLM Deputy Director Mike Pool noted, "Our greatest conservation legacies embody this spirit of collaborative conservation. These partnerships prove that continuing to engage diverse groups and the youth of America in our land management efforts is the key to our long-term success."
The BLM's 2011 "Partners in Conservation" honorees are profiled below. To view photos of the event, select this link.
Gila Watershed Partnership of Arizona (Arizona)
Arizona's long-standing Gila Watershed Partnership is a diverse group of stakeholders that collaborates in consensus-driven efforts to identify solutions to watershed-level challenges. Partnership activities have helped build trust between private and public stakeholders and focus efforts on the shared goal of watershed stewardship.
Permian Basin Memorandum of Agreement Program (New Mexico)
New Mexico's innovative partnership brings together the BLM, state historic preservation organizations, and the Mescalero Apache Tribe to protect cultural resources while also facilitating energy development in southeastern New Mexico. The collaboration has contributed more than $3.3 million in pooled resources to fund landscape-level archaeological research and foster a balance between cultural resource protection and energy development on public lands.
Jefferson Conservation Corps (Oregon)
Oregon's Jefferson Conservation Corps builds on other local and regional partnerships to provide work experience and training opportunities for disadvantaged young adults from the economically-challenged, rural communities of southern Oregon. The pilot program provides youth with conservation-oriented work that includes trail maintenance and riparian restoration projects.
Project Archaeology (Nationwide)
Every year, Project Archaeology uses a collaborative network of state and regional programs to provide educational materials and professional development opportunities to nearly 10,000 classroom teachers and informal educators nationwide. Sponsored by the BLM and Montana State University, Project Archaeology annually engages an estimated 210,000 students in cultural resource stewardship education in classrooms, museums, visitor centers, and in America's great outdoors.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Book Description HTML | Report this book
Lately, some subjects like the veil, polygamy, and divorce in Islam have become objects of discussion and dispute upon which the mass media, especially the western ones, shed light. What is the veil, polygamy, and divorce in Islam?. In this book: - A dialogue between a Western Orientalist and a Muslim Savant about the verity of the philosophy of the veil in Islam, the importance of marriage contract, the verity of polygamy in Islam and the verity of divorce in Islam. - Is it the cover screening only the hair? Or it is the whole cover screening all the body with the face? What is the wisdom behind it? And what are the Qur'anic proofs (verses) that indicate it and decide its nature? Islam… what is divorce for?! What is more than one wife for?!

My genuine Austrian Walkjanker had hung forlornly at the far end of a plastic garment bag for decades. It had no place to go.
Till my son got engaged to a Minnesota girl.
A classic Walkjanker, just so you know, is a traditional, no-nonsense Austrian winter jacket of real wool. It's densely knit and, using an ancient, pre-industrial technology known as Walke in German and fulling in English, it is aggressively soaked, heated, beaten and shrunk until it's two-thirds its original size and the scales on the wool fibers have loosened and hooked on to each other. The finished fabric is as thick and stiff and impenetrable as a slab of berber carpeting.
It's a garment so old-timey and so Old World that even Google [Read more…]

New York City has been a runway for Taylor Swift the last few months. Every day we see her in new gear, every day she's modelling a cute outfit, a fresh pair of kicks, a rainbow coloured bag…
So here she is at Teen Choice last night.
Wearing something she may or may not have been papped wearing while stepping out of her NYC apartment. I mean, I don't know. It looks a lot like the sh-t she's been walking around in. Cropped top, flared skirt, yellow heels…
Haven't you seen this before?
Also, I'm not sure the hair goes with this dress. It could work, sure, with something kinda punk edge. I'm thinking Kristen Stewart. But not at a tea party, you know? Now it just looks like mom hair.

^ The opposite actually, atleast for me. Pretty much everyone guessed Tobi to be Obito from the very start. Then the simple reason why he became evil. Not sure if he was hiding his true motive but possible. All that for someone who acted mysterious for (?) 3+ years?
I can only hope/guess Tobi is not the final villain, he is pathetic.
