When I read in The Anti-Rent War on Blenheim Hill that a number of Schoharie County residents relocated to Wisconsin during that same time period, I wanted to know more. I was fortunate to find a page about it in the Efner file of the Bouton Papers:
In 1915 Hector P. Taylor of Jefferson, N. Y. who was visiting at Ripon, Wisconsin, met Alonzo A. Loper from whom he received the following:Most of these surnames were familiar to me after reading Mayham's book, and a few are also found in the Efner family tree.
About 80 years ago one Oscar Loper of South Gilboa, N. Y. came as a land prospector and struck the then new country of what afterward became Ripon township, Fon du Lac County, Wisconsin, and found land to be for sale in one-fourth and one-half sections at the regular fixed price of $1.25 per acre. Seeing great possibilities in this section he went back to South Gilboa, N. Y., and organized a colony of its members. The party represented such names as Loper, Whiting, Brown, Sage, Pierce, Fink, McArthur, Wood, Effner.
About the year 1886, by special count there was found to be 70 persons living in the town of Ripon who had come from Blenheim Hill, Gilboa, Jefferson and vicinity, including Henry Mattice and family, Martha McArthur, etc. During this period of time the land has passed through the hands of the third generation, and many times out of the family. The land today finds quick sale at $150 per acre.
Mr. Taylor's sister, Fanny Taylor of Jefferson, N. Y., was the wife of Winfield S. Mattice of Ripon.

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:45 PM GMT on August 05, 2009
As is often the case in an El Niño year, there's nothing to talk about today in the Atlantic, but the Eastern Pacific is very active. It has been 17 years since we went this long without a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic--the hurricane season of 1992 didn't start until August 16--but in the Eastern Pacific, we've already had six named storms this year. Hurricane Felicia is the latest addition, and Felicia has put on an impressive burst of intensification this morning by powering up to Category 3 status with 115 mph winds. Recent satellite loops show that Felicia has continued to intensify, with the cloud tops surrounding the eye cooling as they push higher into the troposphere.
Figure 1. Current satellite image of Hurricane Felicia.
While Felicia is an impressive hurricane now, its days of glory will be short-lived. Felicia is currently passing over a region of warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) of 28.5°C, a full 2.5°C above the 26°C threshold needed to sustain a hurricane. These warm waters also extend to great depth, as seen on the Ocean Heat Content image (Figure 2). Felicia's west-northwest track will take the storm into a region of cooler waters with lower Oceanic Heat Content beginning tonight, which should induce a steady weakening trend beginning Thursday night. By Friday morning, SSTs should fall to 26°C, and decline to 25°C by Saturday. While wind shear is expected to remain in the low to moderate range over the next five days, 5 - 15 knots, the cooler SSTs should be able to significantly weaken the hurricane. By Monday, when most of the computer models indicate that Felicia will be nearing the Hawaiian Islands, the storm will be at tropical depression strength with top winds of about 35 mph, according to the latest runs of the HWRF and GFDL models. Exactly how close Felicia will get to the Hawaiian Islands is a bit tricky to call right now, since the hurricane is interacting with nearby Tropical Storm Enrique. Whenever two storms get within 900 miles of each other, they tend to rotate around a common center in a dance called the Fujiwhara Effect. This sort of storm-storm interaction is a complicated affair not well-handled by the computer forecast models.
Figure 2. Total oceanic heat content (also called the Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential, TCHP) along the forecast path of Hurricane Felicia. The initial time of the forecast is 06 UTC (1 am EDT) on August 5, 2009. Oceanic heat content of 90 kJ per square cm is often associated with rapid intensification of hurricanes. Felicia is currently over waters with high heat content, but the heat content will steadily decrease over the next two days. Image credit: NOAA/RAMMB.
There are no areas of disturbed weather in the Atlantic worth mentioning today, and no computer models forecast tropical storm development over the next seven days.
I'll have an update on Thursday.

By Patsy R. Brumfield / Daily Journal
BOONEVILLE – Jurors heard evidence Tuesday that murder defendant Rebecca "Becky" Jones appeared not to have been in a struggle just minutes after her mother was fatally shot.
Deputy Tammy Johnson, the first law enforcement officer to the shooting scene, said Jones told her that she and her mother "struggled over a gun" and it went off.
The trial recessed about 4:35 p.m. to resume at 8:40 a.m. Wednesday in the Prentiss County Courthouse courtroom.
Twelve jurors and two alternates were seated by about 3 p.m. from a 117-voter panel, many who adknowledged they knew both Jones, her deceased mother, Jane, or were related to them.
Becky Jones, 49, stands accused of fatally shooting her mother at Jane's home outside Booneville in May 2010. She insists she did not go there with intentions to hurt her mother.
Jones went on trial in October 2012, but it was cut short on the second day when her defense attorney, Rob Laher of Tupelo, announced to the court that she was hospitalized in a coma after her overnight discovery on the bathroom floor of her Alabama home.
In the first trial, the few witnesses to testify said the two women had a long history of bad blood. Jane Jones blamed Becky for the accidental death of Becky's sister, who was fatally injured by a school bus as the two waited to go to school. And Becky blamed her mother for estrangement with her own daughter and the loss of family property.
Josh Wise and Kimmie Kitchens represent the state. Circuit Judge Jim Seth Pounds has presided over both trials.
After the October mistrial, Kitchens was especially angry at the delay and its cause, vowing to see it through when it came back to court.
In her opening remarks, Kitchens told the jury Becky Jones murdered her mother.
Defense counsel Laher said it was a horrible accident.
• • •
(Below is a running account of Tuesday afternoon's courtroom proceedings. Please excuse the typos and glitches likely as I type rapidly.)
2:45 P.M. – Jones sits at the defense table. She has short medium-brown hair and glasses. She's wearing a dark pants outfit with a white turtle-neck blouse and a gold/medallion chain necklace.
Circuit Clerk Mike Kelly taps on the microphone at the podium, and the courtroom immediately gets quiet.
Judge arrives, thanks jury pool for its timeliness and service. Calls 14 names for 12 jurors and 2 alternates. (Looks like 7 men and 7 women, 4 of them black.) Jurors sworn in.
Both sides agree to prohibit potential witnesses from sitting in the courtroom until after they testify. (In lawyer-talk, this is called "invoking the rule.")
3:01 – KITCHENS – How sweet to hold a newborn baby, to feel the joy and pride she brings. Isn't that true statement of a new mom. That pride and joy for Jane Jones was the defendant. As she held her, she had such hopes and dreams for her future. But she never imagined that there weren't be dreams… would be a nightmare. Never thought that child she gave life to was child that one day would take her life. On May 12, 2010, the defendant murdered her own mother. With not one shot, but two shots to make sure the job was done. You will hear evidence that hammer was cocked back a third time, hd it been necessary.
Defendant took her gun into her mother's home, home she was raised in. Def's gun, bullets. Argument ensued. She would say gun was in her hand before two shots, and lo and behold, it was still in her hand immediately after the two shots. As her mother lay in the floor with two bullets… dying… bleeding… defendant walked out the door.
Walked out, leaving her mother to die. Never called 911. Never called ambulance, police, didn't go get neighbor. Offered no medical attention. She did nothing except walk out the door while her mother was dying. These are not the actions of a daughter … actions of a murderer.
Josh Wise and I represent the people of MS – to prove beyond reasonable doubt that def murdered her mother. WE bear that burden. WE glad ly accept it. WE know at end, there will be no reasonable doubt.
This is the story culminating from an escalating problem. Ended in murder. Lifelong history of drug abuse – cocaine – and these problems put Jane Jones in a hard place. She had to make difficult decisions for her family, to protect it… things mothers don't want to do, but any mother will do to protect her family.
Two issues led to this murder – first, history of drug use … becamse necessary for defendant to turn over her land to her mother. Because of problems, second thing, Lee Chancery Court tok the defendant's daughter from her, gave it to Jane Jones, custody of that granddaughter. Those are hard things a mom must do … to protect her family. But in doing so, Jane Jones … decisions cost her her life because defendant blamed her mother for all her problems.
Mother's fault – lost land, court took custody of daughter. Today, she is still blaming her mother for the fact that she's sitting her on trial.
Witnesses will say defendant named the motive – my mother took my land, my child and now she's taken my freedom.
Evidence will show that a few hours before murder, Brooke (granddaughter) … called her mother and said she heard Grandma is going to sell your land. Caused great upset with defendant. The final straw … and she will say she went to confront her mother. Argument ensued and she shot her, two times.
We will hve numerous witnesses. Three from Prentiss Sheriff's Dept … will tell you this was no accident. No struggle, gun didn't just go off two times and cock itself again. It was murder. When they arrived minutes after shooting, nothing turned over.. nothing moved or broken. Also, saw defendant and didn't have wrinkles, bruises, scratches – nothing to indicate a struggle.
Also will tell you … that defendant did not cry at the same, when gave statement or when she found out her mom had died.
Next witnesses, medical professionals … Jane Jones rushed to University Med center. Will tell you about singificance of thse injuries. Kill shot went directly through her abdomen. That shot was the cause of her death. Autopsy – will say manner of death was shooting by the hand of another, it was a homicide.
Next will hear from Crime Lab personnel … will link defendant's gun with the bullet at the scene, spent shells at scene. Will tell you that gun and those bullets were the ones who entered Jane Jones.
Finally, most importantly – you will hear from only other eye witness to this crime: Mrs. Jane Jones herself. She will tell you exactly what happened that day and what her daughter was doing. She called 911. Right after, before she died. Her last words. You will hear her say, My daughter shot me two times. She's crazy, she's coming back to kill me. Begging and pleading. Will hear the fear in her voice… fear of her daughter and of dying.
Also hear her pain, physical pain and knowing her only daughter shot her twice. Worse, the pain of knowing daughter left her. A lot of testimony. A lot of experts … link this murder. More importantly, use your head and heart, your common sense. Ask yourself if actions of a daughter … if accident, would ithave been two shots? Accidentally, would gun cock itself a third time? Struggle, would nothing have been overturned or broken? Nothing to indicate a struggle, blood, bruises, scratches, hair out of place on defendant?
Daughter walked out the door. Refused to call 911 or anybody for help. These are not the actions of how a daughter should act. Actions of murder.
State will ask that you return a verdict of guilty – against the defendant for murdering her own mother. 3:16.
LAHER – This is emotional. Enough common sense in this room about what could have happened Culimination of a horrible relationship between two people. It started when BEcky was quite young.
She had a sister. When she was 7 they waited for school bus and the sister got run over. She looked to her mother for love. She tried to replace her sister. Jane didn't want to hear that. Jane didn't love her, took her pain out on Becky. Next 30-40 years, back and forth they went. Some happy, some sad. Finally, Becky got away from her mother.
If this was two normal people … then I can see, yeh, … absolutely nothing normal about this. Nothing normal about Becky. True, problems with drugs, with relationships.
But on day in question… what was different about Becky that day. She didn't live in Prentiss County anymore. Lived in Alabama, met a new man. Had gotten help for drug problem. She'd been clean for years. No evidence she was on any drugs that day. From time to time, she'd come back to visit her friends.
On that day, she'd already called her uncle and would stay with him. People knew she was on her way. Knew about mother's plans to sell land long ago. The amount, it could ahve een important, but it wasn't important to her. She already had triple size land. She didn't need it. Becky was going to check on her mother.
They were planning, with a friend, to plan a costume jewelry party. On way, she decided to stop and see her mother. To ask why going to sell land. As long as they kept their distance … this defendant, had reconciled Jane with her daughter, Brooke. Jane began to physically abuse Brooke when she was pregnant, and Brooke had to leave her. But Becky tried to reconcile them so Jane could at least seeher grandchild. Monster, they will try to paint her.
She brought them together. Desperate for their love. She drives to mother's house. they talk, she had a gun. Why? Because she always carried one. Since 1990, when she was attacked by a man, she's always carried a gun. Everybody knew that. Kept it in her purse, always had it on her.
She goes in and sits down. You'll see a diagram of this house. Lot of talk about lack of struggle. State will say should have been some wrestling match. WAsn't like that at all. You'll hear again and again what she told officers – we sat down, we talked, things were OK, then at certain point I decided to go. Was sitting down, had handbag, removed gun to get my keys. I looked up and mother was coming at me. She grabbed gun, struggle to get gun. More importantly – most crucial – don't get bogged down in lack of disarray. You will see that Becky's story she told police … coincides with the physical evidence of the case.
Rather than jumping to speculation … listen to what physical facts show. Shot came from 9 inches or closer? You'll see she's consistent. ARgument, brief struggle, gun went off twice. Becky stepped back, put gun on couch, mother called 911, she's trying to get on 911 and say that's not what happened. She was tyring to tell them… couldn't get to the phone.
Now … she didn't sit down to think about thie. She got in car, drove short distance. Realized she hadn't done anything wrong. Turned around. Deputies showed up. Evidence will show she told the truth – but no one wants to hear it. Likely hear investigator say about call, gun, overlooks facts that she was telling truth about what happened.
Her chance to have someone listen, consider everything rather than call to say she's trying to kill. Chance for an open mind, presumption of innocence. Her one chance. She's asking you to look at everything. If you do.. I believe she didn't intend to kill her mother at all. Find this was a horrible thing but no intent to harm her mother. Give her an open mind, you'll find she is not guilty. 3:28 p.m.
3:29 – 15 min break

The one thing that's so hard about exercise and weight loss is this: It's hard to burn enough calories with exercise to make a serious dent in your weight.

In fact, the workouts that are most effective for weight loss are the hardest ones. These workouts usually involve high impact exercises like those in high intensity interval training, Tabata training, and metabolic conditioning.

If you're a veteran exerciser, you might enjoy torturous workouts on a regular basis. If you're not you may find any amount of exercise hard to accomplish. Unfortunately, that may end up hurting your weight loss efforts.

Exercise isn't the only thing you need to lose weight and some of the reasons you're not losing weight may surprise you.

Lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain, though experts aren't exactly sure why. In her article, Sleep More to Lose Weight, Mary Shomon discusses a recent study that found that women who slept 5 hours a night were more likely to gain weight than women who slept 7 hours a night.

The reasons? Research has shown that:

Losing sleep may make you feel hungry, even when you're not.

Sleep deprivation may affect the secretion of cortisol, one of the hormones that regulates appetite.

When you're tired, you may skip exercise or simply move around less, which means we burn fewer calories.

Getting enough sleep is crucial if you're trying to lose weight, not just because of how it affects you physically, but mentally as well. Sleep deprivation makes you cranky, confused and can even make you feel depressed or angry.

Tips for Better Sleep

Getting a better night's sleep may involve changing some of your habits. Some ideas:

Get up and go to bed at the same time each day, even on the weekends.

Make sure your sleep environment is comfortable and quiet.

Try the same bedtime rituals such as a hot bath or time writing down your worries.

Avoid stimulants like caffeine or nicotine for several hours before bed.

Make getting better quality sleep a priority and you may just see some weight loss.

Stress and weight gain, or lack of weight loss go hand in hand. Though you may not be aware of it, being under constant stress has the following consequences:

An increase in the production of the hormone cortisol which can cause an increase in appetite as well as extra fat storage around the abdominal region.

Cravings for foods that are high in sugar and fat, comfort foods to make us feel better.

Skipping workouts because you just feel too stressed out to exercise.

Tips for Dealing With Stress

If you're experiencing chronic stress, there may be deeper issues going on that won't be solved with a few relaxation techniques.

However, taking short moments throughout the day to consciously check in with yourself and lower your tension levels really can make a difference.

 Work on staying calm. It's usually when our feelings get out of control that we tend to stop taking care of ourselves and try to fix the problem with food or alcohol. Working on calming down and really thinking about the situation is the first step in learning how to deal with stress.

 Try meditation. A study published in Eating Behaviors found that mindful meditation can decrease binge eating and can even help reduce emotional eating.

 Exercise. You may feel like exercise is the last thing you feel like doing, but it can give you instant stress relief. Even just a walk outside can reduce stress and tension.

Learn more Relaxation Techniques for Stress Management.

This may seem obvious, but unless you're tracking your calories each day, you may be eating more than you think.

Portion control is one culprit, especially with restaurants providing enough food in one meal to feed several people.

If you're really serious about losing weight, you need to get serious about your eating.

Start keeping a detailed food journal for one week, without changing any of your eating habits. Be as specific as possible, measuring when you can, looking up your calorie and nutrient content and adding up your calories for each day.

Next, get a general idea of how many calories you need to lose weight. This is just an estimate, but you can compare that number with how much you're really eating.

Focus on what you can change. You don't need to overhaul your diet in one day. A better way is to focus on one thing at a time. For example, maybe your portion sizes are too big or you need to eat more fruits and vegetables. Learn more easy ways to lose weight.

Another issue is metabolism, which can drop as you get older if you don't preserve your muscle mass.

Some estimates show that muscle mass declines about 4% each decade from age 25 to 50.

If you're still eating the same number of calories as your metabolism drops, your weight may creep up over time. Start exercising and lifting weights now to keep your metabolism in check.

If you find your workouts are hit-or-miss and that you give in to temptation a bit too easily, your weight loss may hit the skids.

For exercise to work, you have to do it on a regular basis. Once your body adapts to your program, you then need to change it to keep your body challenged. If you skip too many workouts, it's almost like starting all over every time.

Tips for Being Consistent

Try working out in the morning before the stresses of the day take over.

Find activities you enjoy doing, even they don't follow traditional exercise guidelines. Start with what you like and build a program around that. The more you do it, the more you'll want to do new things.

Fit your workouts into your current schedule rather than changing your entire schedule to fit your workouts. Even if your workouts are only 10 minutes, that's more than you were doing before.

Don't feel like you have to follow the rules of exercise for it to count. Just start doing something and challenge yourself to do something every day, no matter how long or how short it is.

Having some treats now and then is fine, but if you find you do very well during the week only to eat yourself silly on the weekends, you may be hurting your weight loss goals.

To lose one pound of fat in one week, you would need to cut 500 calories with diet and exercise for 7 days. If you only follow that for 5 days, then eat way over your limit for two more days, you're taking two steps forward and one step back.

The trick is to plan your indulgences so that you can have some fun while staying on track with your weight loss goals. Try these tips for a healthy weekend:

Avoid a free-for-all weekend. Instead, choose one or two treats to enjoy and continue eating healthy the rest of the time.

Avoid rewarding yourself with food. If you've been eating healthy all week, it's natural to want to reward yourself with a yummy treat. That kind of thinking can set you back. Instead of food, reward yourself with a calorie-free treat--a trip to the movies, a massage or a new pair of shoes.

Keep moving. If you like to rest on the weekends, why not make your rests more active? Spend time taking a long walk with your family or tossing a football in the backyard. It doesn't have to be structured exercise for it to count.

While experts generally recommend losing 1-2 pounds a week, most of us probably don't get that close.

Remember: to lose one pound, you have to create a 500-calorie deficit every day for a week. It's fairly easy to cut calories from food since you can keep track by reading labels and measuring.

The problem comes in when trying to determine how many calories you're burning with exercise. You can use a calorie calculator, but that's often overestimated. How many calories you burn with exercise often comes down to things we can't measure such as how hard you're working and your fitness level.

Add to that the fact that there are many factors that affect weight loss which, again, can't always be measured or accounted for with the tools we have to track progress. In that sense, your body may be making changes that can't yet be measured with a scale or a tape measure.

Give your body time to respond to what you're doing. It may be weeks or months before you see significant changes so don't panic if you're not seeing results after only a few weeks. Being patient and taking it one day at a time will allow you to enjoy the journey instead of focusing on the destination.

Some medical conditions and medications can contribute to weight gain. While not everyone will find this to be true, it's important to explore every avenue if you're genuinely following an exercise program and a clean diet and still not losing weight.

One condition known to affect weight is thyroid disease. A thyroid deficiency can cause a decrease in metabolism and may lead to weight gain.

You'll need tests ordered by your doctor to determine if your problem is due to your thyroid, something to explore if you're gaining weight without changing anything about your diet or exercise.

Prescription Medications

There are any number of drugs that may have weight gain as a side effect for some people.

Some common medications include:

Birth control

Some antidepressants

Oral steroids

Antipsychotic medications

You should get a diagnosis from a professional in order to determine whether your weight problems are medically-related. Don't stop taking anything just yet. There may be another solution to your situation.

Almost everyone reaches a weight loss plateau at some point.

As your body adapts to your workouts, it becomes more efficient at it and, therefore, doesn't expend as many calories doing it.

You may find that after your initial weight loss, your progress will slow down and eventually stop.

Some common reasons for plateaus include:

 Doing the same workouts over and over. Your body needs to be challenged to progress, so make sure you're changing some part of your program every 4-6 weeks.

 Not eating enough calories. If your body doesn't have enough fuel to sustain your level of activity, you can actually stop losing weight.

 Overtraining. If you exercise too much, the body sometimes responds by decreasing the number of calories you burn during the rest of your day.

Learn more about whether you've hit a plateau by keeping an exercise calendar and tracking your workouts, how often you change them and whether you're working too hard or need to boost your intensity. Get more tips at Understanding Weight Loss Plateaus.

Despite what you hear on the news or read in popular magazines, not all of us need to lose weight.

In fact, many of us have unrealistic ideas of what a healthy weight and body shape is. We all have different shapes and, though we can make changes to our bodies, we can only improve on the bodies we have--not turn them into someone else's body.

Try this challenge: Take away all the reasons you want to lose weight that have anything to do with how you look.

Now, look at what's left...are there any other reasons that you need to lose weight? Are you at risk for medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease? Is your BMI in an unhealthy range? Are you within your ideal weight range?

If you're at risk, losing weight may be important for staying healthy. But, if you're very close to your goal and can't seem to get rid of those last few pounds, ask yourself if you really need to lose them. Would it be possible to be happy at your current weight?

This week I was emailed a video of our new Chief Scout Executive, Mr. Robert Mazzuca.
The video was an interview with Mr. Mazzuca focused on the controversies the Boy Scouts of America has dealt with regarding Homosexuality and Pedophiles.
True leadership Mr. Mazzuca, the 11th Chief Scout Executive, demonstrates in the video. He is consistent with the Values and positions of the Boy Scouts of America.
His steadfast position that we are a values based organization and his dedication to the protection of the young men (and women) within it are nice to see.
No matter where you are in the debate, the fact remains that the BSA is a private organization that has established itself as the Nations (Worlds) leading training ground for young men and women building Character, good Citizens and maintaining physical fitness.
In a time where you are flooded by acts of cruelty to children, abuse, and neglect, the Boy Scouts pledges to keep our kids safe and provide an opportunity to grow and develop into good people.
Mr. Mazzuca elaborated on the fact that we "kick bad people out". And that is a good thing. According to the interview at a rate of 1 every other day since 2005. This shows that the BSA is serious about protecting our youth. There is no place in our organization for people that wish to do harm.
Leaders get the pat on the back when things go well and they get kicked in the butt when things go wrong. Mazzuca is prepared for that. "Organizations get mugged when they do nothing, they get mugged when they don't do something, I'd rather get mugged for doing something."
Robert Mazzuca became the 11th Chief Scout Executive on the 1st of September and already is showing his leadership. He clearly is a good example of our Organization and stands with its long traditions and supports its positions.

Happy Scouting

Defense gets continuance in Colville school hit list case
A defense attorney said Wednesday more time is needed to determine if two young Colville boys can be held accountable for a hit list and for bringing weapons to school.
The two boys, just 10 and 11-years-old, entered the courtroom in shackles on Wednesday afternoon for a Capacity Hearing. The state's criminal justice system presumes that children below the age of 12 don't have the capacity to understand they were planning to commit a crime.
Wednesday's hearing was supposed to determine if there's clear evidence showing the boys understood their actions, however the defense asked for more time to gather information about the boys' mental state.
They said it's worth delaying the hearing so the kids can undergo a second mental exam.Colville court hearing vo
The extra time was granted and the judge moved the Capacity Hearing to next month.
"It's amazing stuff we are talking about here. It's very rare that it happens but it does happen and it gets all of our attention," Colville School District Superintendent Michael Cashion said.
Cashion said the school district is being proactive; they plan to strengthen anti-bulling programs and encourage parents to talk to their kids.
"I really need parents to look in backpacks, check lunch boxes, find out what's frustrating them," Cashion said.
The new Capacity Hearing will take place on Friday, March 15 at 9:30 a.m.
- North Idaho millionare's estate up for auction
- Many seniors, mentally ill patients losing affordable housing
- Demand for new homes increasing, as is need for skilled workers and land
- Pickup plunges over 200-foot cliff, killing driver
- Domestic violence suspect flees after high speed chase
- Two men charged with burglarizing home

Yakima dairies to reduce groundwater pollution
GRANGER, Wash. - A group of Yakima Valley dairies have agreed to reduce runoff pollution that's tainting the area's groundwater.
The agreement between the dairies and the Environmental Protection Agency was announced Wednesday.
In 2012, an EPA study found that five area dairies were polluting private wells used by 24,000 people with nitrates.
Under the agreement, the dairies will provide alternative water sources for neighbors within a one-mile radius whose drinking sources have been tainted. The dairies also agree to take steps to control sources of nitrogen, such as manure and commercial fertilizer. They also will conduct soil and groundwater testing at each dairy.
The EPA says the dairies in the agreement are the Cow Palace, George DeRuyter and Son Dairy, D&A Dairy, Liberty Dairy -- all located north of Granger and Outlook.

Comment advice on starting a web community? (Score 1) 161
My Master's paper for my academic specialty is a proposal for a computer system that would allow a common activity in this field to happen on a sort of centralized website. I think my idea is fairly detailed and good, but a lot of the people and institutions in my field aren't very computer-savvy. I don't think I am a good enough programmer to build the entire thing myself -- it doesn't have to ultimately be Wikipedia-size, but if successful, it would have several tens of thousands of users, and things like security would be important.
How would you recommend I proceed? Get some (bad) working code and early adopters and iterate? Try to organize a team of planners and programmers? Try to get funding first? Any tips?

The Cincinnati/Dayton Division of Kroger has announced the launch of an exciting new price campaign. On Monday, February 4 Kroger, will lower prices on thousands of items in several commodities including Grocery, Produce, Organics, Natural Foods, and General Merchandise. This venture is a multi-million dollar investment for the company and shoppers will reap the benefits.
Since 2008, Kroger has been lowering prices in several categories including packaged meat, produce, health and beauty care and other departments. The savings now will be even better. For example, the price on Kroger 24 pack water will drop 71 cents and the cost of a 3 lb. bag of onions will go down $1.00 and the retail on Soy Milk has been reduced by $1.40.
"We know price continues to be a top, and at times a deciding, factor when it comes to where to grocery shop, "said Sukanya Madlinger, President of Kroger's Cincinnati/Dayton Division. "The savings shoppers see on items they buy every week are going to be better. Every aisle, every department in the store will contain newly lowered prices on Kroger Private Label and National Brand products."
In addition to the price reductions on groceries and merchandise, Kroger will continue to offer their Fuel Program, where customers can save up to $1.00 off a gallon at Kroger Fuel Centers, their $4 and $10 Prescription Program, weekly specials and themed events.
Kroger has also made a 4 million dollar commitment to the 2013 Community Rewards program which benefits more than 2,000 local non-profit groups and organizations.
"This is an exciting time for us at Kroger, "said Scot Hendricks, the Cincinnati/Dayton Division's Vice-President of Merchandising. "We're very committed to offering our customers the products they want, the friendly fast service they deserve at good…no…very good prices."
The coupon policy at the 110 Cincinnati and Dayton area Kroger stores will change effective March 1, 2013. Kroger will discontinue their double coupon, 50 cents or less, program but will continue to redeem paper manufacturer coupons at face value as well as digital and e-coupons. Kroger indicated the investment in the new pricing program is 3 times the expense of doubling coupons.
"Kroger data for our area indicates coupon shopping is changing," said Rachael Betzler Customer Communications Manager for the Cincinnati/Dayton Division. "In fact, of the coupons available in the January 27, 2013 newspaper 65% had a value of $1.00 or more. That, along with the increased use of digital coupons emphasizes how customers will continue to realize significant savings shopping Kroger."
Kroger invites shoppers to come see for themselves how much they will save at Kroger.
I will continue to list Kroger match-ups each week so be sure to stop back by to see if the savings will be what is stated above!

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 is an exceptional car for everyman, which speaks more to profits than it does to democracy.
Relatively few people can afford automobiles costing in excess of $40,000, the price tag often attached to Mercedes-Benz's previous entry portal of C-Class cars.
More buyers can be had at $40,000 or less. The sweet spot for automotive sales is in the heart of the middle class, with base prices ranging from about $30,000 to $40,000. The CLA 250, with a base price of $29,900, is aimed at that audience.
South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co. figured all this out long ago. It also realized that middle-class buyers have pride, what many folks in Asian cultures call "face." Hyundai is enormously successful because it honors "face" by offering upper-class cars at middle- and working-class prices.
An aside: In the United States, Mercedes-Benz has long presented itself as an exclusive luxury marque. But in Europe, South America, Africa and many parts of Asia, the German car company wears a more common face — a maker of cabs, compact family vehicles, commercial trucks and public transportation. Reasonably priced, well-engineered Mercedes-Benz vehicles are not uncommon in those places.
But how do you explain that to Americans reared on notions of Mercedes-Benz exclusivity? With its new CLA cars — the front-wheel-drive 250 and 45 AMG — Mercedes-Benz appears to have answered that question taking a page from Hyundai: It is offering premium cars at sub-premium prices.
That may not sit well with people invested in outmoded concepts of prestige and automotive performance, although Mercedes-Benz provides a healthy sampling of the latter in its CLA 45 AMG.
But the accessibility strategy will go a long way toward winning buyers who place a premium on value.
I will go further: The CLA cars could save Mercedes-Benz from becoming irrelevant in markets where the likes of Hyundai and Kia are gaining customers with attractive, affordable automobiles.
I drove the CLA 250 and 45 AMG in Virginia and Maryland and found them very much to my liking. Both have excellent build and materials quality. Overall road behavior in both is excellent for daily commuting and longer road trips. Both, judging from numerous public comments, are attractive — especially the 250, with its eye-catching diamond-black grille.
Self-described automobile enthusiasts, that bunch that seems to measure everything in 0-to-60-mph acceleration times and that worries mightily about matters such as "turbo lag," will not be excited by the CLA 250. The car is too tame for them. But here's betting that most people who have a chance to drive it will join me in celebration.
The CLA 250 is an effortless driver — as fast as it needs to be when needed, easy to steer (thanks to speed-sensitive, electro-mechanical power steering), and reasonably fuel efficient at 26 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Its 2-liter, direct-injection, turbocharged (forced air) four-cylinder gasoline engine requires premium fuel. But given the engine's performance (208 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque), that's not a bad trade-off.
More power can be had in the CLA 45 AMG with a specially tuned version of the 2-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine (335 horsepower, 332 pound-feet of torque.) You can move from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds in the CLA 45 AMG. But you'll pay for it with an estimated base price of $36,000.
Mercedes-Benz officials say the fuel penalty for the CLA 45 AMG won't be "much higher" than that of the CLA 250, and a nearly 100-mile drive in the CLA 45 AMG seemed to back that up in terms of highway mileage.
I like the new CLA line. Mercedes-Benz has done a much-needed thing here — making its badge more accessible to more people with high-quality, relatively low-cost products. Thumbs up.

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
The nation's eyes became fixed on Boston on April 15, when bombs detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
As evidence emerged from the confusion, authorities found the suspected bombers to be two brothers from Chechnya, a hotbed of religious insurgency since Russia's attempted invasion in the mid-1990s.
Days after the bombing, elder brother Tamerlan was killed in a fire fight with police. Once apprehended, Dzhokhar confirmed the two had indeed committed the bombing independently, and in the name of Islam, prompting reactions from Muslims across the nation.
Closer to home
Dr. Mohammad Khalid Ashfaq is a senior research scientist at Ole Miss. Since immigrating to the United States in 1977, he said he takes part at conferences and presentations whenever possible to spread awareness about the real Islam.
"I'm a member of Kiwanis, which is made up of a diverse variety of faiths, but whenever something like this happens, people ask [Muslims] about it," he said. "What can we say?"
The Pakistan native said violence committed in the name of Islam is done by those who are not well-versed in it. However, he is hesitant to echo Muslim leaders who decried the brothers as non-Muslims, denying their right to last rites and a proper burial.
"If they are claiming to be Muslim, I can't say they are not," he said. "But no religion allows for those kinds of acts."
Corey Saylor, legislative director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told CNN that every faith has heretical elements, and it is unfortunate some choose to listen to those elements.
"This is the biggest problem, picking out which parts to believe," he said. "The Qur'an says 'enter into Islam completely,' but there are very few who actually do that."
Dr. Mahmoud Elsohly, president of the Oxford Muslim Society, said the essential ethical tenets of Islam promote peace. Passages that seem harsh often pertain to how society should operate to maintain peace.
For instance, if someone robs your house, Islam encourages you to forgive that person in your heart. However, it is not practical for the rules of society to simply let the robber off the hook.
"Terrorists use Islam just as an excuse," he said. "Using certain parts [of the Qu'ran] to justify violence is ignorance. If you look at Islam, the Qur'an, and take it in total, you will see it has always been against violence."
Not in their Nature
Ashfaq said the guidelines of Islam anticipate human nature, and it is not inherent in anyone's nature to commit acts like the Tsarnaev brothers did. As a scientist, Ashfaq said environmental factors have a bigger influence on a person than genetics. However, the brothers were raised largely in the United States, the younger Dzhokhar since age 8 and Tamerlan since age 15, far from war-torn Chechnya.
"I'm sure their mother and father are embarrassed, but it is their responsibility to know where their children are and who they are with," he said. "That's not a Muslim responsibility, that's any parent's responsibility."
As for what would have drawn a young man like Tamerlan to radical Islam, Elsohly said it was anyone's guess.
"I think that is the question everyone is wondering," he said. "What cause could the bombing possibly have served? It didn't help Islam's reputation. Was he doing it for the Chechnyans? If so, why do it all the way over here? It served no purpose."
Ashfaq agreed, noting that even in his home country of Pakistan, extremists commit violence against innocent Muslims in the name of Islam.
The White House announced April 22 that Dzhokhar will be tried as an American citizen, rather than an enemy combatant. As an enemy combatant, the authorities would be allowed more time to interrogate Dzhokhar, but sentiments from the Muslim community have not allowed for much mercy.
"I think he should be taken to task," Ashfaq said. "Prove he did it and punish him, so others will not be as likely to follow."

TriFly Dyed Gold/ Fuzion/ Tournament Line discs
TriFly dyed discs are hand dyed one at a time here in the Lab on several models from Latitude 64, Innova Champion and Discraft. Spanning approximately 7.5" across the flight plate, the dyed TriFly emblem produce a distinctive aerial spin as they soar down faiways and check up to the pin. The dye is also very durable so it won't rub off in time like a typical foil stamp. Send one to the pin in your local huck laboratory and see why nothing flies like a TriFly dye.
PLEASE NOTE: If you would like us to dye a disc not currently on our list or have a favorite that you'd like to send to be dyed, please do! Turn around time is generally 4-6 business days. For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

IMHO, the influx of immigration did not improve the area over the years. It increased crime, neighborhood blight, and the building boom used every square inch of open land.
The "we are taking over" mentality is very prevalent here. It really illustrates the reason Miami has declined. I really don't understand that kind of comment because Miami and Cuba before Castro were close neighbors. Hispanics were always a part of South Florida.
The difference now is that most are too lazy or ignorant to speak English. I speak some spanish and I have dated some fine Cuban, Mexican, Colombian, and Panamanian women in my 20-30's...in the 70's and 80's...and they all spoke perfect English as well as Spanish. I was accepted into their families and sat at their dinner tables.
As a kid, we could drive to the beach and park on the sand, now you are lucky to get a glimpse of the ocean between condo towers...
It is not the same. The beauty is for the most part gone, and the arrogant attitude "calling everyone a racist who disagrees" is not isolated to few.

Film, Video & Still Photography Support
News photographers and film crews
Princeton is a private campus. Film crews and still photographers must obtain authorization to capture images on campus. The University also has image galleries and facilities on campus to assist journalists. The sections below deal with the following topics:
Film and Photo Access
Procedures differ for news and commercial requests. This includes submitting the appropriate authorization forms. In the case of faculty, staff or student involvement for news and documentary purposes, the media relations staff is available to assist at the beginning of the process — including making the request on behalf of the film crew or photographer — or to simply manage the logistics after the campus member's participation is confirmed.
Film crews and still photographers should call the Office of Communications at 609-258-3601 at least 48 hours before their arrival to ensure there is no delay in access and that media visits go smoothly. Faculty, staff and students should notify the media relations staff after agreeing to have a photographer or film crew come to campus to enable our staff to work with media to arrange access to campus. Private areas of campus, including but not limited to student dormitory rooms, may not be used for imaging without permission from the Office of Communications.
University Photographer's Images
Many images captured by the University Photographer are available in photo galleries or by request for use by news organizations. The galleries include portraits of recent newsmakers and assorted campus scenes. If additional photography is needed, please call the Office of Communications at 609-258-3601.
The University Photographer accepts work based on priority, scheduling and fee guidelines. The photographer charges a per-item fee for work created for other University departments, such as digital reproductions, printing and framing, as well as an hourly fee for office consultations and on-site photography.
Restricted Images
Photographers and film crews should be aware of the University's restricted images that are not permitted to be used for any purpose other than University business or non-commercial news or editorial content, whether they are supplied by the University or taken independently. The images include all or recognizable portions of Nassau Hall, Alexander Hall, Blair Hall arch, FitzRandolph Gate and Lewis Library.
Commercial photography, still and/or motion, is not permitted on campus without prior consent. Commercial uses of campus images, in any form including but not limited to advertising and merchandising, require prior consent of the University.
The Princeton logo and shield — as well as photos that include the logo or shield — are reserved for the exclusive use of the University.
Recording Campus Events
Requests from members of the Princeton campus community for video recording of lectures and campus events are handled by Media Services. Recordings of public campus events are available online:
- OIT WebMedia (most recorded University lectures and events dating back to 1998)
- Woodrow Wilson School WebMedia (lectures and events in Robertson Hall dating back to 2006)

Bitkeeper sucks!
I gave up on seperating a single changeset for one file, which has definitely no dependency on all the other changesets.
Am I the only one who wants to isolate specific fixes in a development tree and push them into a bugfix or stable tree ?
Don't even try to think about the possible workarounds!
Google revealed, that this functionality is work in progress since 2002:
...to BitKeeper in the pipeline that'll allow a single changeset to be pushed..
BK does a lot of things really good, but this is a fundamental flaw.

There's something to please everyone in a delightful dish loaded with chicken, shrimp, rice, vegetables and fantastic flavor!
If you're not a shrimp lover, just omit it for a tasty Thai Chicken.
Look for Thai peanut sauce mix in the ethnic-foods section of your grocery store. Bone-in chicken is used because the bones help keep the chicken from shredding during the long cooking time.
Reduced-fat ("lite") coconut milk can be used in place of the regular coconut milk.
For a change of pace, serve over cooked jasmine rice.

text: The community of Yad Hashmonah in the western Judean Mountains, with its hands-on display of ancient farming techniques, burial cave, synagogue and more, can truly be said to have the Bible in its backyard. Yad Hashmonah was founded in 1971 by Finnish Christians who first made their living as carpenters. Its name means "memorial to the eight," named after the only eight Jews to lose their lives to the Nazis out of some 2,000 Jewish refugees whom Finland sheltered during the Holocaust. On a tour of Yad Hashmonah's Biblical Garden, you'll see a threshing floor, grape press and olive press, where biblical fruit (Deut. 8:8) is processed in season. You can even try your hand at sheep-shearing and goat-milking! At the mikveh, or ritual bath, you'll learn about ideas of purification in Jesus' time. A watchtower, recalling Isaiah's Song of the Vineyard (5:1-2), is another highlight. The beautiful sunset glimpsed from the reconstructed synagogue make afternoon visits to the site particularly memorable.

WASHINGTON — The potential White House candidates need cash.
But donors aren't eager to shell out until the hopeful prove they're credible.
Which they can't — until they have the cash lined up to start their campaigns.
This helps explain why the 2012 Republican primary race has yet to begin in earnest.
"It's a little sluggish. The major donor folks are sitting back a bit," said Rob Bickhart, a former Republican National Committee finance chairman helping ex-Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
"The major donor folks, I think, are a little slower getting started because the whole process was slower to get started," said Bickhart, who helped raise money for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney four years ago. "The last one started, it seemed, after World War I and folks were just exhausted."
Less than a year before the lead-off primaries and caucuses, many of the Republican Party's biggest fundraisers aren't aligned with any one candidate. Mindful of the lessons of 2008, many are holding back to see who emerges as a front-runner in a field that lacks one.
"I have spoken to just about everyone," said Larry Bathgate, RNC finance chairman under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Bathgate isn't sold on a 2012 candidate yet.
"The general gist is, 'We have to get rid of Obama ... he's too leftist and out of touch,'" Bathgate said.
He agrees. But that doesn't mean he's ready to open his vast network of donors to a candidate right now. None has convinced him that he or she can run a successful national campaign.
Four years ago at this point in the campaign, Republicans hoping to succeed President George W. Bush were on the road in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Their fundraisers were burning up phone lines to pay for the frequent trips.
Not this time.

Record #2 is on the way!
For those of you guys wondering what the hell we're up to, we're happy to announce that we're currently in the studio recording our new record! Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Head Automatica, Vendetta Red) is at the helm, and you can expect to see it in stores in the summertime.

As soon as we have dates confirmed we'll put them on the Tour page. Also, we've got a new website in the works so we can demolish this pre-historic relic you're currently viewing, so take a good last look. Thanks for sticking with us, and we hope to see you soon.

Its hard, my pup has been with the trainer for over a year and a half. When she first left I wanted to call all the time but thought better of it and just let the pup adjust. But in the end it is so worth it. My girl had a nice derby career and now training for qual and AA. I do have another dog that keeps me company at home. I have her home for december then off to the south for the winter for some great training, which she LOVES!!!!
Best of luck with your pup, you should be pleased with the results!

Its really hard. I have a very demanding job with long hours. I had a great dog that was going to waste because I was too busy to train him. I made the decision and never looked back....what helped me, I tried to sit at my desk and think about all the fun my dog was having. Like "right now, its morning he is doing drill work", it's noon now, "he has already had a land set up and moving to water". Or today is "flyer fridays" and he LOVES flyers! He absolutely loved the trainer and loved working and being there. That helped alot. And most of all he was always happy to see me, but still happy to go back to the trainer. I know I called too much. I even had an app on my phone that told me the weather in that area. One time there was a tornado warning and I just knew it was headed for the kennel and sent a text message! : ( I worried sick about cold and even brought him beds for his house and hole on the trailer. I was pitiful. I was blessed to have a trainer that put up with me and the love I have for my dogs. He was so nice to me, and understanding even though I had to have been a pain. In the spring when I finally had time off to go train for a week, I almost didnt recognize my dog. He looked like a BEAR! He had tons of coat and that long coat gene. The trainer chuckled and said "and you were worried about him being cold!". We both laughed! Took me tons of brushing to get that winter coat gone!!! LOL Anyway, it is hard, but in the end you will have a solid dog with a great foundation for you to have fun with for years to come. It's like a great camp for the dogs. And hopefully your trainer will teach you as much as mine did. Thank you Jack Morris at Stellar Retrievers for all you did for Hoot and I. I wish my boy was still here (I lost him to cancer on Oct. 16th). If he was he would still be with Jack.
Best wishes with your dog!
