Interview Raises Questions Over Weapons Of Mass Effect In SD
10News investigative reporter Mitch Blacher asked, "Do you ever find things that are dangerous like a chemical agent or a weaponized device?"
"At the airport, seaport, at our port of entry we have not this past fiscal year, but our partner agencies have found those things," said Hallor.
"So, specifically, you're looking for the dirty bomb? You're looking for the nuclear device?" asked Blacher.
"Correct. Weapons of mass effect," Hallor said.
"You ever found one?" asked Blacher.
"Not at this location," Hallor said.
"But they have found them?" asked Blacher.
"Yes," said Hallor.
"You never found one in San Diego though?" Blacher asked.
"I would say at "the port" of San Diego we have not," Hallor said. (quote marks mine)
"Have you found one in San Diego?" Blacher asked.
The interview was interrupted before Hallor was able to answer the question. The Public Affairs Official would only let Hallor talk about the port of SD at this point.
Customs and Border Protection issued this statement after the interview:CBP has not specifically had any incidents with nuclear devices or nuclear materials at our ports of entry. CBP is an all-threats agency. The purpose of many security measures is to prevent threats from ever materializing by being prepared for them. And, we must be prepared to stop threats in whatever form they do materialize at the border, whether its an individual or cargo arriving by land, air, or sea. Regardless of what the contraband or threat is, were being smart, evaluating, and focusing in on anything or anyone that is potentially high-risk.We were able to show you first-hand one example of how we evaluate segment risk, inspect, etc. in the cargo environment by air and sea here in San Diego. This is one portion of the CBP mission, and hopefully gives you some examples of how much has evolved in the past decade, with the new technologies we have at our disposal. This, coupled with document requirements at the border, advanced passenger and cargo information, better information sharing, and many other measures help us to secure the border - and each measure doesnt work individually or in a vacuum, but rather in the layered security that we were able to demonstrate one facet of.raw video link http://www.10news.com/video/26827497/index.html

Animal Care Services Q&A
Why does an animal need to be quarantined?
Any animal involved in an animal bite or scratch incident is required by State of Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 826 to be quarantined for at least 10 days from the date of the animal bite occurrence. This includes animals that already have their rabies shots. Quarantining limits the animal's contact with other animals and people, reducing exposure if the animal is rabid or sick. Quarantining also allows Animal Care Services to observe the animal for any signs or symptoms associated with rabies. Texas Administrative Code 169.27 sub section 1,2,3,4 list the requirements to qualify for certain types of quarantine.
Where does an animal get quarantined?
You may take your animal to a licensed veterinarian or to Animal Care Services upon notification that the animal has bitten or scratched a person. Quarantine and boarding fees apply. Stray animals are placed in the rabies observation area of Animal Care Services for a period of 10 days. Otherwise, quarantine may take place at the owner's property if the Local Rabies Control Authority approves home quarantine and the following criteria are met:
Home quarantine is at the discretion of the Local Rabies Control Authority or Animal Care Services manager. No person may appeal or overrule the decision of the Local Rabies Control Authority or Animal Care Services manager.
How do you quarantine your animal?
The Local Rabies Control Authority or Animal Care Services manager shall be immediately notified of any change in behavior or physical condition of the animal.
How is the animal released from quarantine?
The Local Rabies Control Authority, Animal Care Services manager or a licensed veterinarian can release an animal from quarantine. After the 10-day quarantine period has expired, the veterinarian, Local Rabies Control Authority or Animal Care Services manager must examine the animal and confirm that the animal has been vaccinated against rabies before leaving the quarantine.
If the City of Corpus Christi has a leash law, why can cats run loose?
City of Corpus Christi currently does not have a leash law on cats. Owned cats are allowed to be free roaming as long as they are spay/neutered. Cats must be wearing a rabies tag displayed on either a collar or harness at all times. Otherwise the cat can be picked up or trapped as a stray animal.
Who do I call about a dead animal in my neighborhood or on the street?
The City of Corpus Christi Animal Care Services does not pick up dead animals. You may contact the City Solid Waste Department by calling the city call center at 361-826-2489.
Does the City of Corpus Christi have a limit on the number of animals a person can own?
Yes. A person may own any combination of dogs or cats up to six (6) animals over four months of age.
What can I do about wildlife in my yard/house?
Animal Care Services encourages home owners to find alternative solutions to living peacefully with the wildlife that inhabit the Coastal Bend area. Please visit our Field Services Page to see alternatives and tips.
What do I do if my animal is impounded?
Come to the Animal Care Services center at 2626 Holly Rd. between the hours of 1:00pm and 5:00pm and identify your animal. Bring photos, vaccination records, and any type of documentation that shows that the animal belongs to you. You will be required to pay all associated fees and may be issued a citation for the animal being at-large. The animal will then be released to you.
Do the Animal Care Services Officers catch feral cats?
An Animal Control Officer will pick up a feral cat only if it is contained in a city-owned trap. They do not actively chase or trap cats.
Can I catch diseases from my animal?
Yes. Animals carry many different diseases that can be passed on to humans, including but not limited to, worms, mange and rabies.
Can my animal be tethered/chained to a stationary object?
YES and NO. State law restricts tethering to certain times of the day. You cannot chain an animal up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The chain must be at least ten times the length of the dog from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail, the collar must not be a pinch or prong type collar, and the dog must be provided with a constant source of water, wholesome food, as well as adequate shelter. The dog is not allowed to be chained to a stationary object at night.
What counts as a dog house?
A dog house must be at least three sides, and have a roof. Shelter does not have to be store bought, but must give the animal shelter from rain and harsh weather.

HOULKA – The Falkner Eagles have just two seniors, and boy did they come through in the clutch.
Tuesday, senior guard Deniko Adams came off the bench in the fourth quarter, stole a Houlka pass and scored a go-ahead layup with 10 seconds to play in regulation. Senior post Dustin McCoy took a charge to negate Houlka's go-ahead bucket on the next possession.
Houlka managed to steal an inbounds pass and send the game to overtime on a last-second layup by Tyreque Reed, but Falkner won the extra period to take the 51-46 upset victory
No. 4 seed Falkner led 33-22 heading into the fourth quarter, before a 18-6 run by No. 1 seed Houlka paved the way for some senior heroics.
"Both of them have worked so hard from last year to this year and really bought into what we're trying to do," said second-year Falkner coach Jake Walker. "Dustin takes a beating night in an night out, and he may not be able to give me 15 points, but he works his butt off. Deniko does the same thing."
Falkner (11-17) advances to its first North quarterfinal since 2011.
"I couldn't believe they handed us the ball under the goal. That was unreal," said longtime Houlka coach Jimmy Guy McDonald, who thought Falkner's zone defense had little do with the poor shooting night. "The kids effort brought us back, but we just had a terrible shooting night. Most of the time Tyreque Reed and Jesse Kelly hits those shots."
When it counts
Kelly hit four 3-pointer and finished with a team-high 16 points. In overtime, he missed two game-tying attempts as the Wildcats trailed 49-46 with a minute to play. Reed added 10 for Houlka. His lone bucket of the fourth tied the game.
Lewis Moore, who put Houlka (15-16) ahead for the first time since the first quarter on a stickback with under a minute to play, added 10.
Falkner led 20-15 at the break. Sophomore guards Treyvon Jeanes and Richard Green led the Eagles with 19 and 13 points respectively
"They've worked so hard. Everybody's bought in. We have a long way to go, but this is a big step," added Walker.

Guppy with Dropsy and Fin Rot
Well I've had my tank for about 8 months now and most everything has been going good. I leave to go out of state for a month and left my aquarium at home for my family to watch after.
I come back and all my fish are alive, surprisingly, but it seems like a guppy has dropsy and fin rot :( He is pineconed out pretty bad and the top half of his tail is pretty much missing with white and red outlined on it. No one told me about it while I was away because they didn't want me to worry but I fear it may be too late for this little guy.
He stays at the surface all the time, even when I change my water. He used to play in the incoming stream but still stayed over in the corner. I did a 50% change when I got back because apparently my family didn't do a change in the last month.
I've been home a few hours and fed him and he ate but is still lethargic and not moving out of the top corner. I do not have a hospital tank and considering putting him out of his suffering.. Any suggestions?
20 gallon long
2 guppy
5 neon tetra
5 ghost shrimp
7.6 pH, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, ~20-40ppm nitrates
Sorry for your guppy.
They aren't as tough as they used to be. Once a fish has dropsy there is no longer a cure in most cases. I would just put it down humanely

What's making it tough now is that the other guppy keeps swimming around him and they're going back and forth in circles. The sick one is actually moving around to different water levels now, but the rot and pineconed scales look so painful.
Dropsy is usually brought on by terrible water conditions, so maybe your family didn't change the tank water for a month?
Dropsy is like shutdown of all the fishes internal organs. Really his days are numbered now, best to put him down.My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

yeah neither my parents nor my sister remembered to do a water change. I reckon the bad water conditions would be high nitrates because the ammonia and nitrites were 0.
I've read mixed ways on the best way to humanely euthanize them from using clove oil then alcohol, to quickly cutting him in half. Does anyone have any other ways to do it?
I guess I'll have to do the deed in the morning, the 2 guppies are sleeping next to each other one last time. argh...
Physically killing works best with larger fish because you can better aim at a vulnerable spot of the body. With a guppy it is hard to hit the brain to kill it as fast as possible(just cutting him through the middle will likely prolong his suffering) I would go with clove oil because most other common methods( such as alcohol or freezing) have been reported to cause a lot more pain than expected by the aquarist.

In this free hour-long webinar on Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. ET, senior executives from the Luxury Institute, Digital Luxury Group and Morpheus Media will discuss what luxury marketers can expect in the year ahead, how to craft their marketing plans accordingly and what left-field surprises to expect, if any.

"The question now is, will luxury marketers and retailers be able to prove to customers and prospects in the year ahead that paying a premium for a luxury product or service is in their best interests?" he said. "That's where smart marketing and retailing will play a bigger role, to not only hold the line but also expand the market."
This webinar is one in a series produced by Luxury Daily to inform and educate luxury marketers on the ins and outs of luxury marketing and retail.
Themes discussed in the webinar:
What luxury-focused brands, retailers, agencies and publishers can expect in the year ahead
Which marketing or retail channel, if any, will be the breakout star in 2013
Surprises ahead and how to act or react
Lessons learned from 2012

As I often do, I find myself here agreeing with Earl. Why no triples? "Just because." Also, because the more birds you add, the greater the tendency is to have tight, technical tests, which reward the trained, lined response.
I got my start in FT in derby in 1999 and remember traveling all across the country and competing other amateurs. Now, amateur handlers in the derby are few and far between. I wish that clubs devoted more resources - judges, grounds, and help to the derby.

A protestor is an unnamed minor character in the second season. He is played by guest star Edward Tudor Pole and only appears in "The Ghost of Harrenhal." He spreads dissent against the rule of King Joffrey Baratheon and House Lannister.
He is a resident of King's Landing.
Season 2
The protestor is addressing a group of smallfolk on the streets of King's Landing. He says that the city is foul with corruption and blames Joffrey Baratheon as the product of incest between Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime Lannister. He also describes Joffrey as a puppet king to Tyrion Lannister, whom he refers to as a "twisted demon monkey", causing his audience to erupt in laughter.[1]

In A Song of Ice and Fire, a number of individuals, particularly "begging brothers" - the lowest among the clergy of the Faith of the Seven - begin to speak out against King Joffrey, Queen Cersei and Tyrion, incensed by Stannis' letter and the growing famine in King's Landing due to House Tyrell closing off the Roseroad - through which most foodstuffs reach the capital. These men also speak out against the leadership of the Faith of the Seven - both the High Septon and the Most Devout -, accusing them of corruption and fornication.

Dear Mr. Dad: I have two kids from a previous marriage, ages 7 and 9. My new husband's two children are almost the same age and spend every weekend and all holidays with us. Problem is, my kids and the step-kids don't get along. In fact, it seems like they hate each other and they spend most of their time together fighting and bickering. My husband and I don't know what to do. Any advice?
A: Sounds like a really unpleasant situation for everyone involved—kids and adults. But before we can start looking at possible solutions, it's important to try to understand why your home becomes a battlefield every weekend.
From your biological children's point of view, their home (and possibly their rooms) aren't theirs any longer. Their once-familiar and comfortable physical and emotional spaces have been invaded by strangers. Like dogs, children are creatures of habit and they may be feeling more than a little confused about roles, rules, and boundaries: who gets to set and enforce them, and do they apply to everyone who doesn't have a driver's license, or just to them?
The resentment they're display towards the uninvited interlopers is at least in part a reflection of their uncertainty and fears that things they've taken for granted all their lives (like their toys, other belongings, and even your love) will be somehow taken away from them and given to their step-siblings. In a way, they—again, like dogs—are defending their territory and their rights.
On the other side of the equation, your step-kids, are being taken, albeit temporarily, from the security and comfort zone of their own home and dropped behind enemy lines, in the middle of uncharted and hostile territory. They aren't sure of the prevailing family dynamics, where they fit in, and what they're allowed to do or play with.
I'm not sure whether this is good or bad news, but this situation is pretty common. Many blended families, at least initially, go through a pretty lengthy adjustment period. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make the transition easier.
• You and your husband need to come to an agreement about how best to handle this situation and resolve conflicts. To start with, he should have the primary responsibility for disciplining his kids, and you for yours.
• If you haven't already, have a friendly talk with all four children. Ask each of them why they fight. Whatever they say, take their grievances seriously and involve them in finding solutions they can all agree on.
• Write a new set of family rules, so that all four kids know what their rights and responsibilities are at your house. Make sure the rules are fair and don't favor one set of kids over the other.
• Plan ahead of time the weekends and holidays when the step-children will be with you. Ask each child to come up with an activity that all the family members can participate in–trips to the zoo or a sporting event, family game night, and rotate so that each one can have a say in what you'll be doing.
• Ease up on the pressure. You may mean well, but telling your kids (or your husband telling his) that they're "really going to love" their new step-siblings is almost a guarantee that they won't. They need to forge their own relationships.
It may take a while for things to calm down, so be patient, loving, and positive. Others have gone down this path before and have found (at least some) peace and harmony in the end.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TammyZ from Delicious! These croissants are absolutely delicious. We only eat them when they are hot out of the oven. I served them to a guest and she was very, very impressed. I have not ordered any other brand of frozen croissant, and I do not plan to do so, since these are so good. They also make a great gift - but only for someone who would appreciate the fine quality that these are.Date published: 2017-04-06Rated 5 out of 5 by sunryze from Easy, fast & tasty Croissants During a Croissant promotion, I thought I'd try these as they were highly rated. Now I know why. These are so easy to make, just let them rise overnight then pop them in the oven. You won't be able to wait until they've cooled to try them!Date published: 2017-03-27Rated 5 out of 5 by Petunia52 from Perfection! I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband and it was truly the perfect gift. We love croissants, and have tasted frozen ones before but honestly none compare to these- flaky on the outside, moist and doughy on the inside with a fabulous taste. At first the prep (defrosting overnight, parchment paper) was a bit of a concern. We didn't have parchment paper! Nevertheless, they plumped up fine over night sandwiched between two sheets of wax paper. They triple in size so give them plenty of space between.. We cooked them on a lightly oiled Baking pan and the result was perfection. We made a big pot of French roast and closed our eyes and imagined being in France! Eating them warm is truly heavenly. These are definitely worth the price.Date published: 2017-03-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Connie4321Oh from Classic croissants I have ordered many times. So good ... Put them out the night before and pop in the oven in the morning. Great to to make a egg sandwich. My kids enjoy them Christmas dinner.Date published: 2017-03-04Rated 5 out of 5 by OceanGal from Fabulous! These croissants are perfect -- flaky, airy, great flavor and so easy to make! I have ordered these for myself as well as for gifts and they have always turned out great and been much appreciated by gift recipients.Date published: 2017-02-09Rated 5 out of 5 by handmadeteapot from almost as good as being in France! Delicious, buttery but not too buttery croissants. Easy to prepare if you remember to take them out of the freezer the night before, and well worth it. We save them for a celebration or a treat, and they stay safely fresh in their little frozen box home until we are ready for them!Date published: 2017-01-30Rated 1 out of 5 by DebbiefromHarrisburg from Very disappointed This was the only disappointment in our house on Christmas Day! I set these out on a parchment lined sheet pan on Christmas Eve to allow them to thaw & rise overnight. The instructions made no mention of how much space to leave between them, so I took my best guess. By morning, they had risen nicely, but had also enlarged to the point where they were touching each other. I considered moving some to another pan to allow more space in between, but that wasn't possible. I baked at the instructed temp & time, then allowed extra time, but eventually ended up with a pan of goopy dough - only the croissants on the outside edges were edible, and the remainder had to be thrown away. We ate English Muffins instead.Date published: 2017-01-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Cdx833 from Love these croissants Ive been ordering these for a few years. I have to decide night before to take 1 or how ever many you want the next day. They rise better in warm weather but are still great in winter but do not rise as much because I keep the heater low when I go to bed. I pop one in the oven when I get up and take it to work for a flakey croissant when I get there. Now I do not care for the ones at Starbucks at all. They do not match the flakieness of these.Date published: 2017-01-15

Marshall Can't Outrun Wrong-Way

The utility of formal methods for practical code writing is an interenting debate. As you might expect, I have some thoughts on the matter.
Code winds up much better if it is rewritten pragrmatically with experience. I think there isn't a single line of BitTorrent which hasn't been rewritten at least twice. If I had been using formal methods, the whole program would essentially have been proven once for each rewrite. Much easier is to write the whole program once using more direct methods and then audit it.
The much-vaunted slow programming of the space shuttle is mostly a triumph of beurocracy. Switching from a B&D to a write-then-audit methodology would drastically reduce costs and result in better code.
While I'm still not convinced of the practical utility of formal methods, I'm completely sold on unit tests. A unit test is a test which exercises some code without requiring the rest of the program be linked in. The approach to writing them is to make them all pass/fail, and have a script which runs all unit tests and reports failures. Whenever a unit test is failing, fixing it becomes the top priority. Anyone whe doesn't fix their unit test breakage with the excuse that getting all the tests to pass is impractical anyway should be fired, (or at least, have their commit access revoked).
While formal methods clearly slow down development, unit testing actually speeds it up by reducing debugging time, making it not only practical but easily justifiable.
Writing good unit tests is more art than science. The general idea is to try to make the unit test code simpler than the code it's testing, and also to make the test code assert statements from a fundamentally different perspective than the code itself. Formal methods, by contrast, wind up repeating the code a lot, and thus aren't good at catching specification bugs.
After two years or so of writing unit tests for most of my code, I find the thought of debugging something without them absolutely horrifying, and can't bring myself to even toy with newly written code without writing some tests first (I generally don't test bootstrap and UI code though, since those aren't straightforwardly encapsulatable).
The above approach to unit tests is taken from extreme programming. However, extreme programming people seem to think that unit == class, which is wrong, and their encapsulated APIs seem to not be nearly as hermetically sealed as mine. Units can span several classes, and if they do those classes should internally have complete access to each others's data, while the outside world should only have access to data and methods if it is explicitly granted.
The bugs I've run across in BitTorrent generally fall into the following categories, each of which occurs about an order of magnitude less often than the one before -
- Bugs found in proofreading. My skill at this depends a lot on how tired I am.
- Bugs found writing unit tests. This is what really causes my debug time to be so small.
- Bugs which manage to slip past unit tests but cause a stack trace when invoked and are fixed within a few minutes of being found.
- Bugs which involve subtle misunderstandings of third-party APIs. There are far too many of these, since basically all third-party APIs are written horrendously (wx, select(), open()), but I generally get them fixed eventually, once I understand what the actual semantics are.
- There was one (count 'em, one) bug which managed to slip past all the testing and remain in the program for months, resulting in disastrous performance. The wrong integer was getting passed in by bootstrap code, and the generally robust nature of the underlying APIs caused the problem to be manifested as extremely poor performance rather than an outright bug. Eventually I observed some behavior which unambiguously indicated a bug, and managed to fix the problem after a few hours (and a lot of whining on my part).
Notably, this problem could just as easily have slipped past formal methods, but would have been caught very easily had I been religious about passing parameters by name rather than position.
(The specific bug, in case you're curious, was that the number of pieces to pipeline from any one peer was set at 32768 instead of 5, often resulting in the entire file being requested from one peer. Since BitTorrent usually has a policy of not requesting the same piece from more than one peer at once, there were other connections which were going unutilized since they had nothing else to request. This problem would have been even furthur masked had endgame mode been written at the time. Robust APIs can eliminate the possibility of a huge number of bugs, but the bugs which remain can sometimes be very strongly masked.)
Gollum Gollum
Someone posted an advogato diary entry (I'm not sure who, it's scrolled off recentlog) linking to a paper on exhaustive search for golomb rulers. Unfortunately, the site was down and archive.org didn't have the paper, I'd like to read it.
Conjecture Proven
Robert M. Solovay sent me a proof of my conjecture about prescient busy beaver numbers. Here it is, (slightly rearranged) -
- I can prove
your conjecture [and much more]. For example, there is a d such that
pbb(x) > bb(bb(x)) for all x > d.
This is stronger since bb(x) > h(x) for x large for *any* recursive function h.
All Turing machines considered in this letter have one two-way infinite tape and two symbols, 1 and "blank".
Let me state a series of results and then prove them:
Definition: K is the set of Godel numbers of TM's that started on a blank tape eventually halt. (A Godel number is a natural number encoding of a turing machine).
bbk is the Busy Beaver function for oracle TM's that use the oracle K.
It follows that for any function h which is recursive in K, we have bbk(n) >= h(n) for all but finitely many n.
In particular, bbk(n) >= bb(bb(2^n)) for all but finitely many n.
Assertion: There is a positive constant C such that:
- bbk(Cn * log n) >= pbb(n) for all but finitely many n.
- pbb(Cn * log n) >= bbk(n) for all but finitely many n.
This is the assertion whose proof I will sketch. But a little more work could improve this by replacing Cn * log n by just Cn.
Let's start with the proof of 2). Let M be a TM with at most n states [which uses an oracle for K] that halts in precisely bbk(n) states. We will design an ordinary TM, N, with O (n log n) states that visits state 1 a finite number of times but more than bbk(n) times.
It clearly takes O(n log n) bits to specify the table of the TM M.
N will first use O(n log n) states to write this description of M on its tape.
Comments: Using a trick of Chaitin, one could get by with just O(n) states here. It is at this point that the O(n log n) comes in. The remainder of the proof uses only O(1) states.
Officially, our TM has only two symbols and one tape. But it can simulate a k-tape n symbol tape with r states with Cr states of its own. [The C depends on k and n.] I find this remark useful in thinking through the details of programming N. I will, however, suppress these details in this sketch.
N will construct a series of approximations to the set K. The first approximation is that K is the empty set. It then simulates M using this approximation to K till one of two things happens:
(a) the simulation halts;
(b) for some n that the simulation queried the oracle about, N discovers that the original oracle gave the wrong answer.
If (a) happens, the program continues to look for an event of type (b). If the program ever finds an event of type (b), it redoes the simulation of M's action using the newly updated version of K.
Eventually, the program will find the correct computation of the M program from the true K.
We arrange to enter state 1 for any step in any of the simulated programs.
Because we eventually converge on the true computation of M the state 1 is only entered finitely many times. Because we eventually find the true computation, state 1 is entered more than bbk(n) times.
The proof of claim 1 is similar. We let now M be a TM of at most n states that enters state 1 precisely pbb(n) times.
Here is an oracle TM, N, [using an oracle for K] with O(n log n) states and that eventually halts but runs at least pbb(n) steps before halting.
N first uses O(n log n) states to write down a description of M.
It now simulates M. But before doing any step of M it asks "Will M ever again enter state 1". [It can settle this question using its oracle for the halting problem.] If N ever gets the answer NO to this question it immediately halts.
- bbk(Cn * log n) >= pbb(n) for all but finitely many n.
What I find interesting about this proof isn't so much that it shows that bb grows less than pbb, which seemed fairly obvious, but that it shows that pbb and bbk grow at essentially the same rate, which negated my intuition that pbb grows much more slowly than bbk. I always find unexpected results more interesting than expected ones.

Mid-Prairie Students Responding Well to Mile of Pennies Fundraiser
Posted By News On @ 6:24 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Students at Mid-Prairie elementary schools are responding well to a fundraising challenge. Wellman, Kalona and Washington Township Elementary Schools are participating in the Mile of Pennies program, where the children are asked to bring in change, with the class that brings in the most receiving a pizza party.
Optimist member Dennis Phares helped bring the program to the area and shares that as of last week Kalona Elementary had already brought in over $400.
Funds raised by the program, sponsored by the Kalona and Washington Township Optimist Clubs, will go to Johns Hopkins Universities research of childhood cancer.

Spore starts you off by signing up for an EA Spore account and activating your game online. This form of DRM has been the subject of so much internet coverage I feel that if I don't mention it here it would be as bad as neglecting to mention you shoot aliens in a Halo review. You get three activations per copy of Spore so try not to reformat too many times after installing. Oh, and the online activation on the first start up is compulsory so make sure you're on the interweb before buying. Once the irritating process of verifying you're not a dirty, good for nothin' pirate is over you'll find yourself at the Spore 'home page'. Home to Spore is the god damn galaxy and your first task is to pick one of the seven or so planets to make your own. The game itself is divided into five stages; Cell, Creature, Tribal, Civilisation and Space; following the broad periods of time we ourselves have and will follow. During the Cell and Creature stages you get to design the creature you'll be using through the rest of the game. By taking control of your little guy you'll need to pick up body parts conveniently scattered around the primordial ooze/planet and each time you get jiggy you'll be able to change and evolve him as much as parts and points will allow until you've created something which looks like a unicorn, the Predator or even... well I don't know what the f*** this is meant to be. During the first two stages your main focus will be on building your personality. You can be an aggressive prick picking fights with anything that happens to cross your path, you can be the guy who has to be friends with everyone (and some species will f***ing hate you for that), you could even befriend the big bastard of a killer roaming the planet and send him in to do your killing for you like the outsider kid in school who learned that the bully of the playground enjoyed singing along to Britney Spears songs and decided to exercise his right to blackmail his way to the top. Imagine John Connor in Terminator 2 and you won't be far off. Kind of like in real life, the reputation you forge in the early days can be hard to shake off and if you bite the face off everything you encounter here it'll be harder for you to be friendly in the later stages but considering how much of an effort it is to stay friends with alien races I'm not sure that you'd want to anyway.
The third and fourth stages all follow a more RTS style of gameplay with the gamer controlling a tribe or nation instead of a single creature but the aim is still to make enemies or alliances (or conquer or buy out in the Civilisation stage). The much touted customisation continues through these stages with the buildings, vehicles and uniform of your nation so if you want to make your city resemble something out of Futurama you can. The game up to this point is somewhat self limiting with the main objectives to conquer the other factions but truth be told, at the time it doesn't feel that way. Killing off or befriending tribes and then taking over or buying out factions is great fun and can descend into chaos if guys start attacking your base. Micromanagement isn't part of Spore, your resources are reduced to spice which is converted to money and the only things you need to worry about during the tribal and civilisation stages are the health of your inhabitants and their relations with other factions. For hardcore gamers this is a real bad point and it makes it obvious to anyone that Maxis has really dumbed the game down to appeal to the casual market. Where the game really displays its enormous scope is during the Space stage. It is here where you'll be able to travel the length and breadth of the entire galaxy... so long as your damn colonies and home planet are able to go twenty seconds without calling for your help. Apparently the one guy you are controlling is vastly superior to the hundred or so guys on each and every settlement and every time an enemy alien race or band of space pirates tries to invade them they'll be crying for your aid. The same goes for any allies you may make on your travels. Annoyances aside it is rewarding to travel around, completing missions for your own race and other races, making alliances and trade routes, making war and terraforming planets. Any astronomer could tell you this but it takes a gamer to make you believe in this context: the galaxy is big. It's so big that the only realistic way to get to the centre is to buy a Wormhole key which allows you to fly through black holes. This means there's a lot to explore if you don't get tired of your inept computer controlled creation.
I have a laptop. It's not a gaming laptop. It has a 1.7GHz dual core processor (rated at 2.99GHz according to a (supposedly) reliable website), 2GB of RAM (recently updated from 1GB) and 830MB of shared graphics memory (128MB dedicated) and even I can run Spore quite nicely, albeit on low settings except for the resolution. This game is easy to run, if you have a gaming rig that allows you to play games from a year or so ago you should have absolutely no problems with Spore on high settings. The graphics are adequate. Speaking as someone who can only play the game on low settings I can't tell you much more but it looks passable on low settings so I presume it looks very nice if pumped up. The aesthetics are cartoony and fit very much in the niche Spore sets out for itself with bulbous, child friendly creatures and animated, soft edged buildings and vehicles. The sound does its job; it gets louder and more dramatic when an attack is coming, quiet when in the depth of space and upbeat when a baby is born. What it does very well is the alien sounds themselves. They roar when they've just sprouted legs, they squeal when attacked, they develop their own language and sound bloody funny when they're annoyed at you. I told my last girlfriend the same thing, maybe it's why she broke up with me? Controls are about as clunky as you'd expect for a game trying to be so many things at once with individual character controls involving mouse directions or WASD controls (a b**** when you're left handed and there's no way to customise the controls... ironic really) and dashboard interactions while the RTS portions are controlled pretty much as an RTS would be. Travelling around a planet in your spaceship can be frustrated by enemy ships attacking you while you're trying to manoeuvre and click on the "shoot the f***ers down" button at the same time but in all it's acceptable and works once you get used to it.
Spore is a very enjoyable game marred by some very irritating design flaws (seriously, colonies don't need one hero to save their asses every few minutes and I want to explore god damn it!) and a couple of glitches. If you're looking for a game that will redefine the way you look at the sim genre then this isn't it and it's no good for anyone who wants depth. Spore is unapologetically simple and despite, or perhaps because of this it is fun. Ironically though, the most long lived fun will almost certainly be found in the creator suites. The ability to create your own creatures, buildings and vehicles is accessible from the main screen and the appeal of doing this will no doubt outlive the game itself which is perhaps a shame because I know how much I was looking forward to dominating the galaxy with each of my creations before I actually got the chance to.

Creamy frosting doubles as a surprise filling in rich, red velvet cupcakes.
SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix can also be used for dark red velvet cupcakes; omit cocoa.
Use 2 containers of Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting instead of the scratch frosting.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

I have a 835 that I purchased 11 years ago, currently I use the factory turkey choke using Winchester Supremes High Velocity #5 in 3.5" with good results. I think I could and would get better performance with a aftermarket choke, I'm looking at the Indian Creek (.675) and the KICKS (.680). Does anyone here have the 835 using either one of these aftermarket chokes, and if so what ammo do you use and what pattern are you getting?
I have been doing alot of research on turkey chokes, and there are many aftermarket ones out there, and after a few weeks of researching I just purchased a INDIAN CREEK turkey choke (.675), they informed me to try HeviShot turkey ammo, 3.5", 2-1/4oz., #5 or #6 shot. During my research and speaking with others they agree that they are getting great results with this choke/ammo combo, [color="#cc0000"]at 40 yards in 10" circle I should get 92%-95% of the pellets in there, that to me would be a 60 yard kill radius. [/color]So next week I should have the new sights and the choke tube, then during late spring or early summer I will pattern it.

Flashlights and headlamps at Tent & Trails.
Power is finally, gradually being restored to lower Manhattan Friday evening, where it's been out since Hurricane Sandy tore through the east coast Monday night. But though lights come back to life in an instant, many businesses in the area won't. Owners and managers of bars, restaurants, and stores lucky enough to have sustained minimal damage in the storm are letting the financial reality of lost inventory and customers sink in as they ready to open as quickly as possible once power returns.
A few businesses remained open this afternoon. At 21 Park Place, Jamie Lipman Abish had set up a "sidewalk sale" outside of her store, Tent & Trails, which sells camping and climbing supplies. Most who have been coming by have been picking up flashlights, headlamps, and batteries — supplies that are hard to find anywhere downtown — which were arranged on a table in front of the store.
Abish estimated she'd had about 50 customers on Friday. "I'd say I've sold around 25 headlamps or flashlights — but mostly headlamps. It's an unusual amount," she told BuzzFeed. "Storms always bring out people for headlamps — they suddenly get prepared. But we've been giving them an easy check list for the next time," she added, pointing to a bright orange flyer with a list of emergency essentials (it included things like biodegradable soap, a quick drying towel, and folding saw, not all of which were included in the sidewalk offerings).
If things were normal, "I'd be doing ten times the business," Abish said. "But at least people know I'm still here. People know that I haven't been put out of business by the power outage." She can only accept cash, though she made an exception when a customer wanted to barter with donuts and hot coffee.
Abish was surrounded by a handful of staff members, some of whom have been working for her for more than 25 years. She said she would have paid them whether or not the store managed to open at all during the power outage. It was "the only thing to do," she said. "It's ethical. It's not their fault. I might get paid by a grant but six months down the line — I'm going to wait that long? They have families. They've got rents to pay."
Around the corner on Murray Street, Takahachi Bakery was closed and darkened, but manager Kimie Kobayashi had set up a cart outside to sell cookies and coffee to passersby (she's been getting around 25 customers a day). Inside, the shelves and cases where cakes and other food normally sit were almost completely bare. Kobayashi decided on Tuesday to open for a few hours on Wednesday, and then to do the same Thursday and Friday. She wasn't sure how much food was lost in the power outage, but estimated more than half. "I don't even want to ask my boss. It was a lot," she said. But she's been able to sell cookies and other things that had been in the freezer, along with a rare and much sought-after commodity: hot coffee.
"First I didn't sell coffee. So many people asked, so I said, okay," she said. She managed to make coffee with espresso and had a gas stove with which to heat water.
The past week has been hectic for Kobayashi. Every morning she bikes from her East Village apartment to a hotel in midtown where she can charge her phone and laptop and talk to her boss, the owner of the bakery who lives in New Jersey. Then she goes to the bakery for the day, before returning to the hotel to charge up again. "Then I go home in the dark."
She didn't think the bakery would be up and running as normal for about two weeks, once power was restored, since cakes and other items take time to make. And some menu items made with ingredients shipped from Japan via a distributor in New Jersey. "We have to give up some of the menu which is okay, it's not the end of the world," she said. "I have one customer who lives just around the corner and they have a market in the seaport — gone." (The seaport farther south in Manhattan was subject to some of the island's most severe flooding.)
Down Murray Street, the Dark Horse bar was open, powered by a generator. Its owner, Gavin Doherty, had spent the past three mornings at Home Depot in Queens, trying to purchase one. "There were so many people there looking for generators," he said. "Yesterday morning I managed to get one at 6 o'clock. So I came in, got everything set up." But even so, "We're far from normal."
Doherty had to throw out a lot of food, which was a painful waste as well as a considerable financial loss. In addition to the lost food and generator, he had to worry about fuel costs — and finding gas. "I spent about three hours in Queens looking for gas yesterday," he said "I could only get one gas container as well because they're in high demand." A cab driver tipped him off to gas at 44th Street and 10th Avenue, where he fueled up after an hour wait. But it "only lasts for so long" so he had to head back out to Long Island to refuel. "We were driving around the town and saw a big [line] and said this has to be for gas." It was — the wait there was three hours.
Doherty didn't have to go to all this trouble to reopen. He said he's "definitely losing money." But he knew he had to get the generator to open the bar instead of waiting for power to return because friends in the neighborhood kept texting and calling to ask if he was up and running. "They said there's nothing down here, we're sitting down here, when are you going to be open? I said I've got no power, but that's what made me go looking for a generator," Doherty explained. "Basically we wanted to give a few people some food."
He's seen the neighborhood clear out over the past two days, as residents tired of not having power, in many cases running water, or anything to do. But he wanted to be there, open and feeding people who couldn't leave the neighborhood. "You see this couple down here, they didn't have any friends or anywhere to go, so they had to stay. They had no choice," he said. "Regulars become friends when you see them a few times a week. We have a lot of friends in the neighborhood."

Splitsville for Katy Perry and John Mayer
Katy Perry deserves better than us saying, "We told you so." But, come on, we told you so. As everyone predicted, John Mayer has apparently kicked the popster to the curb and stomped all over her heart after just two or so months of PDA-heavy togetherness.
"She's really upset about it," a source tells Us Weekly, with another adding, "She is making it seem like it wasn't serious with John, but she is hurt."
Another spy tells Radar Online that Mayer, 34, "did a real number" on Perry, 27: "She held off from his advances for the longest time, but he laid on the charm thick and promised her he was a changed man."
The twosome's connection stretches back to 2009, when they flirted up a storm one day before Perry met future ex-husband Russell Brand.
"She eventually gave in, fell head over heels for [John] and then -- yep -- once he had made his conquest, he dumped her," sighs the Radar snitch.
As we clutch our pearls in shock (shock!) at the idea of Mayer acting like a callous Casanova, the pair apparently had a chilly run-in at a mutual pal's party on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
"Katy stayed in one room the whole night and John stayed in the other, and when they passed each other they both just kept their heads down," says a source. "It was like they had this incredible animosity for each other, and everyone else at the party could feel it. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife. It was all incredibly high school!"
That's quite a change from their behavior on Aug. 4, when they got hands-on during an afternoon pool party.
"They were all over each other in the pool and were not being shy about it," an eyewitness told us. "Katy had her legs wrapped around John in the water, and they were making out in front of everyone."
According to Us Weekly, Perry recently told friends that she was "officially dating John, not just hooking up," while another shared that she "doesn't want to get her heart broken again, but she feels a real connection and wants to see where things go."
She now joins a small but embarrassed club of ladies who have come under the spell of Mayer's seemingly hypnotic musk, alongside the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
14 reasons not to date John Mayer, according to John Mayer

Novation A-Station
British synth makers Novation take their now classic Bass Station Rack to the next level. The A-Station is polyphonic, adding 8 voices of polyphony to their 1-unit rack-mount synth. Unlike the original Bass Station and Super Bass Station which were real analog synths, the A-Station gets its voice architecture from the SuperNova synths, which use analog sound modeling. The A-Station has the layout and shape of the famous Bass Stations, but its guts are basically a slimmed down SuperNova.
It has 25 knobs for real-time control, and all knobs transmit MIDI controller messages. The A-Station has three oscillators which provide sawtooth, triangle, sine and pulse width modulation. There's even a simple FM synth engine which can be dialed in for sharpening the sound. Oscillators may be set to Unison or Sync'd operation and a Noise source is also included in the waveform engine. There is a nice lowpass resonant filter with switchable 12 or 24dB/oct slopes and ADSR controls. A second ADSR envelope is available for the oscillators, as well as two LFOs with sample-and-hold and MIDI sync.
On-board effects include reverb and delay. Their send levels can be controlled by the Mod wheel which is a nice effect. A 12-band vocoder is also on-board for processing external mono sounds such as drum loops or vocals. The A-Station's pads sound great when vocoded with external sounds. External sounds can also be used as an oscillator, run through the filters, envelopes, etc. with much better results than were possible on the original Bass Station. There's even a built-in Arpeggiator whose speed synchronization and sweep range can be stored with the program for instant recall. Unfortunately, some of the older Bass Station's problems still have not been addressed in the A-Station. Namely, the lack of a power switch, a puny 2-digit LCD screen, and it's still not multitimbral. But for clean analog sounding synth bass, punchy leads, pads, filter sweeps and more - the A-Station is certainly a great piece of kit to have around! For a cool compact keyboard version check out the K-Station.

As for Disney cancelling Clone Wars, I seem to recall hearing that Clone Wars was on its last leg and about to be cancelled even before the Disney announcement.
Of course, there was also the news of Disney shutting down Lucasarts; but I think that was more about trimming the fat and eliminating a branch of the company that was no longer producing valuable content. When I heard that Lucasarts was dead, that's when I actually started to feel really optimistic about the Disney buyout.
