Rifle has always held a reputation as the place in Colorado for hard sport climbing. With clinics, demos, and countless routes it's no surprise the Rifle Climbing Festival hosted by apparel brand, prAna, drew over 300 moderate, advanced, and elite level climbers.
Battling major temperature swings – from the low 40's at night to 100 degrees mid-day – attendees warmed up on 5.11 climbs, switching to 5.12 and 5.13s for the rest of the day.
SCARPA's demo selection of trailrun, approach, and climb shoes went quickly as everyone awoke with the sun, eager to hit the crags. SCARPA climber, Sam Elias was there to explain the uses and benefits of each shoe to those interested.

Of the 2.3 million inmates housed in detention facilities in the United States, many have entered the country illegally. Statistics vary on what the percentage may be, but one report by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, for example, puts the number in California at 13 percent, directly costing taxpayers $1 billion annually. Most in this group are from Mexico.
Many Catholic dioceses in the United States pour significant resources into ministering to those in prison, recalling Christ's words as he foretells his praise of the just on the last day: "I was ... in prison and you visited me" (Mt 25:36).
Ministering to inmates who came to the country illegally is not significantly different than doing so for the rest of the prison population, volunteers say, but there are enough differences that result in unique needs.
Deacon Jim Walsh, who is the Restorative Justice program director for the Diocese of San Diego, works as a detention ministry chaplain and coordinates 340 volunteers who serve at 27 detention centers in the diocese. After working as a corporate executive for 30 years, Deacon Walsh became a deacon and began working in prison ministry 11 years ago.
Inmates have many concerns, he said, including "fear and anxiety" as to when they will be released, what they will do when they are released, whether or not they will return to prison and concerns about family.
Illegal immigrants "have the added concern about facing deportation once they are released," said Walsh, who has started a weekly program with Immaculate Heart Radio, with detention ministry a regular topic.
Kevin Starrs, director of prison ministry for the Diocese of Phoenix, agreed that one of the concerns of illegal immigrant prisoners was the fear of being deported at the conclusion of their sentences. Many have family in the United States, he said, which makes for an "ongoing stressful situation."
Many illegals speak only Spanish, said Starrs, who has been working with illegal immigrant prisoners, particularly from Mexico and Central and South America, for 20 years. While that can be a problem in communicating with prison guards, it is not a barrier to communication with fellow inmates.
"In prisons, everything is done by race — blacks eat with blacks, whites eat with whites, Chicanos (Mexican Americans) eat with Chicanos, pisas (Mexican immigrants) eat with pisas," he said. "A white can say 'hi' to a Mexican, but he can't eat with one at the lunch table, so you're dealing with your own people who speak your language."
Deacon Peter Brause of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and his friend Rob Auten minister to men at a detention facility in Chino in Southern California. They assist at a weekly Mass (or Communion service when no priest is available) and teach catechesis. Deacon Brause said they observe an anti-Catholic and anti-Christian bias in prison.
"It shows something about our inmates when they even show up for Mass," he said. "We want to give them the tools to know and defend their faith, in a language they can understand."
Deacon Brause and Auten said their biggest need in working with the illegal immigrant population is for bilingual catechetical materials. Mike Gutierrez, detention ministry coordinator through Catholic Community Services in the Diocese of Tucson, Ariz., said his ministry also has a special need for Spanish-language Bibles.
Forty-five miles north of Tucson is the Eloy Detention Center, a facility that houses 1,600 illegal immigrants. According to Gutierrez, many in that facility are receptive to the message of the Church, which presents a unique opportunity for evangelization.
"I always get excited when I go," he said. "In our services, everyone participates, and everyone has a chance to share."
In addition to Bibles, there's also a need for prayer books and other religious materials, Gutierrez added, particularly from Dismas Ministry, which is a national Catholic outreach for inmates.
Deacon Eddie Stoughton is associate director of the Office of Correction Ministries for the Diocese of Galveston-Houston. He noted that he has ministered to illegal immigrants who finish their sentence and are deported, only to return illegally to the United States and again be imprisoned.
In addition to offering a plea for English and Spanish religious materials — Bibles are a particular expense — Deacon Stoughton added that there is a need for materials in Vietnamese as well.
Starrs, who works in the Diocese of Phoenix, said his greatest need is for additional volunteers to assist with religious services for inmates, and if they are bilingual and can work with Spanish-speaking immigrants, that is an added bonus. He noted that the enthusiasm of the prison ministry volunteers has always kept him motivated in his job.
"We have older women who are full of passion for helping the imprisoned," he said. "Seeing their zeal has really helped me stay committed to my job."
Ministry to illegal immigrants can be easier, Deacon Walsh added, because they often are housed in immigration detention facilities and are there because they have broken immigration laws and not committed other crimes.
"Our programs in these facilities are more personal and liturgical because the security level and security concerns are not the same. Our volunteers do not view them as criminals," said Deacon Walsh, who echoed the need for volunteers.
Living in Southern California, Walsh said, there's no shortage of Spanish-speakers, but there is a need for volunteers able to communicate with illegal immigrants from other parts of the world, including China, Africa and the Middle East.
"It's not dangerous, it's extremely rewarding and God is calling us to serve others. Our volunteers discover that they leave with more than when they walked in," Deacon Walsh said.
Deacon Brause and Auten are members of the Knights of Columbus and use a catechetical course offered through the Knights' Catholic Information Service. They regularly rely on the generosity of their fellow Knights to provide the materials and encouraged support for Knights' initiatives, which help fund their work.
The work has borne much fruit, Deacon Brause said. "The men we work with have made mistakes but regret them and are trying to find their way back to God," he said. "In fact, I have found Jesus to be more present in the Chino facility than in my own parish."
Deacon Stoughton has worked in prison ministry for 11 years; his wife is a volunteer as well. His newest initiative, he said, was introducing ACTS Missions to spread the Gospel into his detention ministry, as well as educating the public about the rewards of prison ministry. "You meet the nicest people in prison," he said. "They are not the monsters the media can portray them to be."
Jim Graves writes from California.

Here is one moment from a Golden Girls show that deals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). You can watch the whole show in parts on YouTube - "The Golden Girls - Sick and Tired." It was a 2 part show that aired in September 1989 (episodes 103 & 104 in season 5). It touches on issues that are still true today which, sadly, includes a lack of understanding and awareness. We need to work hard to raise the awareness.

We haven't always been terribly upbeat about Newsweek's religion coverage in the past. And it's hard to tell under its new leadership whether it's really committed to straight reporting or a more op-ed oriented style.
A new piece from Peter Boyer hints at a positive direction, at least as long as the magazine assigns Boyer to the religion beat.
The Mad Men theme is pretty clever (hello, 1960s!), but I wish the cover had instead featured Boyer's profile of Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York. As much as I want to read about sexism, bras and ads (I own a Mad Men dress from Banana Republic), the pieces were no match in substance next to Boyer's reporting. For instance, the lead piece has this unfortunate correction: "A previous version of this article erroneously reported Weiner's parents divorced when he was 10. They have been married for over 50 years."
Boyer's profile on Dolan hooks onto the contraception fight, demonstrating how reporters can use politics to get into religion without letting the political details overshadow the religious ones. Check out the opening paragraph and see if it doesn't make you chuckle.
Just inside the heavy front door of the 19th-century neo-Gothic mansion at 452 Madison Avenue, the official residence of Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York, rests a telling clue about the resident's personality. Perched on a tray atop a side table in the entry hall is the scarlet red biretta placed on Dolan's head by the pope last month when Dolan was elevated to the College of Cardinals in Rome. Next to it sits another scarlet hat—a ball cap bearing the insignia of Dolan's beloved St. Louis baseball team. "I don't know all the protocol," Dolan says. "I was told I was supposed to place the Cardinal hat by the entrance, so ..."
Boyer suggests that "Dolan already is, in effect, something like America's pope," a pretty strong description since you probably don't want to throw around the description "pope" too loosely.
But precisely because of that role, Dolan now finds himself having to play against type, leading the high-stakes fight against the Obama administration's mandate that employers provide insurance coverage for services and products the Church finds morally objectionable—including contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs.
The piece shows why the battle is particularly unusual for Dolan, who is known more for the upbeat and positive face he gives the Church.
Dolan insists that it's not a fight he wanted. He arrived on the national stage with the reputation of a conciliator, one who believes that the church should not be in the business of weeding out those who dispute some of its teachings. As archbishop of Milwaukee, he disagreed with those bishops who advised punishment of politicians (by denial of holy communion or parishioners' votes) who supported policies the church opposes. ... [Dolan says,] "I would be one that would much prefer to sit down with people, to say, let's sit down and talk about this, let me try to be a pastor first, let me try a conversion of heart." Since Dolan's rise in the national church, "wafer watches," such as that to which John Kerry was subjected in his 2004 presidential run, have virtually vanished (much to the relief, perhaps, of Kathleen Sebelius, the Catholic secretary of Health and Human Services, and of Catholic governors Andrew Cuomo of New York and Martin O'Malley of Maryland, who signed same-sex marriage legislation into law).
The story takes a step further beyond the 2012 election to put the issue of life ethics in larger context. It spotlights historical figures in the Catholic church had an emphasis on social justice and those who focused emphasized evangelism, drawing parallels between Dolan and Sister Carol Keehan, head of the Catholic Health Association, an Obama ally on health care. Boyer also shows why the bishops have raised religious freedom concerns before the contraception issue came up.
But going into that Oval Office meeting last November, the bishops had a lot at stake. They were partners with the government in many of their social projects, and heavily dependent upon government funding. Just a few weeks before the Oval Office meeting, the administration had relieved the conference of its role of overseeing relief for human-trafficking victims because Catholic workers wouldn't refer victims to abortion or contraceptive services. Now, some bishops worried that many on Obama's team viewed fundamental Catholic teaching on moral issues, such as abortion and gay marriage, as homophobic, sexist, even potentially illegal.
The piece shows the relationship between President Obama and Dolan, illustrating how the archbishop has the president's attention, at least to some extent.
Dolan admits he felt awestruck about being in the Oval Office, and was impressed by the president; he left the meeting feeling reassured about the regulations. Obama told him, Dolan says, "that he would do nothing to impede the good work of the church in health care, education, and charity, and that he considered the protection of conscience a sacred duty."
When Sebelius announced the regulations on Jan. 20, Dolan says he was shocked, and plainly felt betrayed. The only exemption from the administration's mandate that employers provide contraception coverage was for actual houses of worship. To the church, this was a radical state intrusion, defining what constitutes an approved ministry.
Since Dolan doesn't expect to work out the issue with the White House at this point, it will likely remain a political issue going forward.
Meanwhile, Dolan and the bishops will step up a public-relations campaign that will include informational bulletins distributed in churches. Parishes will be encouraged to conduct voter-registration drives and independent activists, such as Deal Hudson, who helped Karl Rove corral the Catholic vote for George W. Bush, are already conducting outreach training sessions in battleground states.
The ending to the profile is as colorful as the opening, but we can't quote everything. Read it all.

Tuesday morning, I came into work, turned on my computer, started to eat my morning snack, and checked my messages. I just about choked and went through the roof when I heard a message from a woman named Kelly McLaughlin, who said that her son Ronnie had found a pink grasshopper in their backyard! I was so excited!! She was so sweet to drive here from Santa Fe, Texas to donate this amazing little creature to the Butterfly Center.
Now I'm sure you're wondering, what's so special about a pink grasshopper? Well, have YOU ever seen one? A pink grasshopper should not really exist! It has an unusual genetic mutation known as erythrism. This is when an animal has either too much of one pigment, or not enough of another, causing it to be red or some variation of red such as pink or purple. It can be found in a wide variety of animals, including several types of insects. There are several theories about why this happens but no one is completely sure. Erythrism has been observed in certain species of katydids, in fact, the Audubon Insectarium in New Orleans has been able to breed pink katydids and put them on display. I have always been so jealous! When I heard this phone message, I actually expected to see a pink katydid and I was shocked that it was actually a grasshopper instead! If everything goes well, I may be able to breed pink grasshoppers for display, how cool would that be?

Since Ronnie found this grasshopper on Valentine's Day, her name is Val. We have identified Val as a Northern Green Striped Grasshopper (Chortophaga viridifasciata). This species is very common in Texas. They are small, only reaching a little over an inch as adults. They mostly feed on grasses and prefer wet areas. They usually have two forms, green or brown, but occasionally a pink mutant pops up! I'm not sure how rare they really are, but I don't think anyone in this area has seen one. This is very exciting! Val has a little more growing to do and hopefully in a few weeks she will be ready for display. She will certainly receive some TLC here so we can make sure she makes it to adulthood. So, remember to keep your eyes open for pink bugs. If you find any, we'd love to hear about them! Happy Bug Watching!

The S.I and the Air Force
After posting yesterday, some new information about the Air Force Art Program came to light: Melanie Reim commented that the program was still very much alive - and that she had participated in it. You can see some wonderful Air Force sketches done by Melanie here.
As well, Daniel Zalkus shared a link to the Air Force art experience of illustrator Victor Juhasz
My own research turned up a page devoted to the program on the Society of Illustrators website. You can view a slideshow of many Air Force art pieces that were part of a recent show at the Society in New York.
And via Twitter, a note from Ray Ortensie that the "Art Program is setting up a display at Baltimore Airport this week."
If you happen to live in the Baltimore area, this is your chance to see some of the originals from the Air Force Art collection.
Finally, here's a link to the Air Force Art Program's Collection

I've never seen Carl Roberts' work before,looks very good.The always excellent Stan Galli's captured that 'Right Stuff' attitude perfectlty in the last image.Despite the last pic there's a nice lack of propaganda in these, more like air force guys just getting on with their work.ReplyDelete
That's a good point, Remo; I also found that there doesn't seem to be any overt propaganda element to the artwork in general. Some might argue that it contains a subtle sort of propaganda, because, unlike wartime art, the imagery is universally 'upbeat' - but I think its an honest reflection of the individual artist's impressions of what he saw and experienced... and no doubt infused with a sense of pride and patriotism, which is, imo, fine.ReplyDelete
Leif, Each chapter or subset of the Society has its regional Air Force Artists Program. Google it as the Air Force has a decent online record of the collection. I have had the great pleasure of being on a few of these trips, including being on the flight line as the first Space Shuttle landed. Wow!ReplyDelete
Other programs include the US Forest Service, and the other service arms of the military. One of the great things about the AF Program is that there is NO pressure put on the artists on the events that they cover.

Mellon grant funds two new environmental programs
The Environmental Science and Policy program at William and Mary has received a $1.5 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The grant will allow the College to establish two new highly innovative programs: a Center for Geospatial Analysis and a "teacher-scholar" postdoctoral program in the interdisciplinary environmental science program.
The Environmental Science and Policy program is one of William and Mary's most successful interdisciplinary programs, drawing dozens of participating faculty from several departments and from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. Timmons Roberts, a professor of sociology, is the program's director. Two other faculty members will take lead roles in incorporating enhancements to the program. John Swaddle, associate professor of biology, will oversee the establishment of the postdoctoral fellows program. Swaddle also is the program's director, but is currently on research leave. Greg Hancock, associate professor of geology, will coordinate the establishment of the Center for Geospatial Analysis (CGA).
The second aspect of the Mellon grant, establishing the postdoctoral program in environmental science and policy, also will benefit both students and faculty across the College.
Strikwerda said that a series of postdoctoral fellows on staggered two-year terms, two at any one time, will participate in the program. Postdoctoral fellowships are temporary positions held by scholars with new Ph.D.s., and are more common in large research-oriented institutions, although William and Mary typically has a few in the physics and applied science departments. Strikwerda explained that $800,000 of the Mellon grant is to start an endowment for the post-doctoral program. The College must raise an additional $1.6 million to complete the endowment. For this matching endowment the College will turn to private donors—many of whom are eager to see their resources support the role the College can play in our collective understanding of environmental concerns. Roberts pointed out that the Mellon Foundation has been a stalwart supporter of William and Mary's environmental program for years.

Last Tango for Council
Matthew Killoran
After six years, seven months, and 28 days in exile,Tango the American Amstafordshire terrier is back on the Gold Coast.
The dog, owned by Kylie Chivers and John Mokomoko, was the centre of a legal battle with the Gold Coast City Council
about whether he was a restricted American pit bull.
While in April the Supreme Court ruled ruled that Amstaffs were pit bulls, in July, the State Gov amended Legislation to
specify the animals are a different breed, which meant Tango could come home..
Thumbing there nosese up at the Council, Ms Chivers and Mr.Mokomoko made Tango's stop outside the city Council Chambers.

Remarks of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to the Congressional Caucus Hispanic Institute
Remarks of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to the Congressional Caucus Hispanic Institute
"2013 Public Policy Conference: Education, Economy and Workforce Plenary: A Stronger America" September 30th, 2013
Good morning everyone. It's great to be here and help kick off this important conference and critical conversation.
You'll hear from expert panelists in a moment, including our very own member of the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics, Lily Eskelsen Garcia. She will speak about the vital role education plays in equipping the Latino community for success.
But first, I would like to thank Senator Menendez for the kind introduction and Representative Hinojosa for his continued commitment to the CHCI. They are passionately dedicated to advancing the educational and leadership opportunities for young Latinos--and I couldn't be more thrilled about having them as partners.
Organizations like the CHCI create important opportunities for rising leaders, including your alumni-- like Gabriella Gomez and Alex Ceja. Both are doing tremendous work for the Education Department and helping to pave the way for the next generation of leaders.
In my four-plus years on the job, I have visited literally hundreds of schools and met with thousands of teachers, parents, and students. Everywhere I go people attest to the urgency of providing a world-class education for all children, no matter their race, income, or zip code.
Why is education more important than ever before to ensure equal opportunity and economic prosperity? Simply put, because the world has changed. It is no longer enough just to have a strong back and a strong work ethic.
In today's knowledge-based, globally competitive economy, a world-class education and some postsecondary schooling is essential. As President Obama has said, "Education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity and success. It's a prerequisite for success."
America's economic growth is inextricably linked to the success of the Hispanic community. As we all know, Hispanics are our largest and fastest-growing minority group, and will represent 60 percent of our nation's population growth between 2005 and 2050.
The good news is that, during our Administration's first term, high school graduation rates and college enrollment increased rapidly among Hispanics. These trends are very encouraging. From June 2008 to June 2011, the on-time graduation rate of Hispanic high school students jumped more than 10 percentage points.
As a result, an additional 164,000 Latino students graduated on time. That is 164,000 young people with a better chance of getting a good job, owning their own home, and supporting a family.
Earlier this month, the Census Bureau reported that it estimates the number of Hispanic students enrolled in college jumped by more than 50 percent from 2008 to 2012, with an additional 1.1 million Hispanic students enrolled today. That is a million more people who are getting a real shot at the American Dream and the opportunity to thrive in a globally-competitive world.
That's the good news. The bad news, and the reality check, is that we're not making progress nearly fast enough. Just 22 percent of young Hispanic adults have a college degree today. Clearly, this is no time to relax or to become complacent.
We need to ensure that more of our Latino students are not just enrolling in higher education but are staying to get their degrees and credentials. We need to ensure that they are not just attending high school but are taking AP courses and rigorous STEM classes. Finally, we need to ensure that they are given the same opportunities as everyone else--and taking on those challenges.
Today, a college education is not only more essential than ever, it's also more expensive than ever. Our administration has taken historic steps to help students pay for college. The number of Pell grant recipients has increased more than 50 percent, from 6.2 million in 2008 to more than nine million just three years later.
We've made it easier for students to afford loan payments through repayment options like Income-Based Repayment, or IBR, and Pay as You Earn plans. And we've made it much easier to fill out the FAFSA financial aid form for college and provide it now in Spanish.
But it has not been enough. Far too many states cut their spending on higher education in the recession. We know that these state budget cuts have been the largest driver of tuition increases at public colleges over the past decade.
And in a double-whammy, Congress imposed the sequester. The sequester is a disaster for education at every level—it means fewer Head Start slots, less money for K-12, and less money for higher education. We are just hurting our families and our country.
President Obama has proposed to reward colleges and universities that keep higher education affordable—and to shift federal aid away from colleges that don't keep costs down or provide a good value.
As I have said repeatedly, a high school diploma is just not enough anymore. Some form of higher education is what folks need, whether it is a 4-year degree or technical training. And it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone who works hard has that opportunity.
Sadly, today hundreds of thousands of jobs across this country are going unfilled because employers simply can't find workers with the necessary skills and education. Hispanics can and should be filling these jobs, the same as any other American.
I recognize that college affordability is not the only issue for Hispanic students. Our immigration system is broken--and it is time we look seriously at how to improve it, not only for educating our nation's youth but to strengthen our economy as well.
Let me begin by saying that I believe passionately in the Dream Act. So does President Obama. It is the right thing to do, at so many levels.
As you know, last year, the President announced that certain young people who were brought to the United States as young children, and who do not present a risk to national security or public safety, will be considered for deferred action.
Those who demonstrate that they meet the guidelines will be eligible to receive deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and will be eligible to apply for work authorization. This is specifically for young people who were brought to the United States by their parents and have grown up in America. They are Americans in their hearts and minds, just not on paper.
However, this is only a temporary stop-gap as many millions of undocumented immigrants are still left in an unstable place within the economy. Congress must get past its dysfunction and act on comprehensive immigration reform to fix our broken system. President Obama is going to continue to fight for that because it's the right thing to do for our economy, our security, and our nation's families.
I'm convinced that our efforts to improve K-12 education for all students will be of great benefit to Hispanic students, who are now the largest minority group in our public schools.
But in addition, we must target more support to Hispanic Serving Institutions at the postsecondary level. That is why the President has committed to provide $2.5 billion over the next ten years to HSIs and other Minority Serving Institutions.
These schools are using this funding to renew, reform, and expand their programs to ensure that Hispanics are provided every chance to rise to their full potential, earn their degrees, and enter the workforce.
This past May I spoke at the Hostos Community College Commencement in New York, where over 60 percent of students are Hispanic. Over the last three years, Hostos's remarkable President, Dr. Félix Matos Rodríguez, has doubled enrollment and significantly improved retention and graduation rates.
At the University of Texas—Pan American, another HSI, President Robert Nelson is continuing to work to improve Hispanic education. Over the last ten years, the percent of students who are taking remedial classes has fallen from 47 percent to 16 percent. High school students are being encouraged to enroll in dual enrollment courses. And professors are actively going into the community to improve parent involvement in their children's education.
These are just two examples of the more than 350 HSIs across the country working hard to improve the lives of 1.5 million Hispanic students through education.
HSIs are a vitally important part of the solution to advancing Hispanic attainment-- and we must continue working together to support our most vulnerable students. Everyone has to contribute—from parents to teachers, from unions to corporations, from elected officials to philanthropic organizations. We all have a stake in accelerating the pace of progress.
With a strong work ethic and an equally strong commitment to family and religious values, the Hispanic community has demonstrated time and time again an unwavering commitment to equal opportunity and equity.
That commitment, coupled with real access to educational opportunities, can ensure that the Hispanic community is equipped to help lead the country where we need to go.
We must increase the number of Latino engineers, astronauts, principals, teachers, CEOs, and leaders in state, local, and federal government. In my lifetime, I hope to see the first Latino President.
But to realize that classic American dream, we need to ensure that more children have access to high-quality early learning, opportunities in great K-12 schools, and affordable colleges and universities.
No one individual and no single agency working in isolation can accomplish this task. It will take all of us working together to set high expectations, raise the bar, and cross the finish line. Thank you for your remarkable dedication and commitment to making that American dream a reality for younger generations.

Cheers for Beshear
For the 300,000 Kentuckians living on the edge of the federal poverty line, Gov. Steve Beshear's action this week couldn't come soon enough. And it makes a nice Mother's Day surprise for everyone without health coverage who fears getting sick or hurt. Kentucky Youth Advocates reports an estimated 162,000 uninsured parents in Kentucky, and expanding Medicaid will provide
coverage to 97,000 of those parents.
Decrying NBC's comments
General Electric Corp. Declares Homosexuality to be a "good thang." G.E. spokesman Matt Liar on NBC's Today Show announced how wonderful an event that Jason Collins is "gay." Jason is a player in the NBA (never heard of him). He is apparently cut in the same mold as that creep Dennis Rodman and Kobe Bryant, not to mention O.J. All of these folks are terribly overpaid social pukes, including Matt.
County needs recycling
As I ponder what project to do for Earth Day this year, I can't help but think how disappointing our county government is to abandon the curbside garbage/recycling issue. Offering garbage pickup and recycling at a lower price makes sense and helps protect the environment.
I am not loyalty to any vendor, and I don't have time to compare prices. The city and county can get a better rate than just one person. This negotiated price should include recycling.
The right to choose
Postal problems
Is the postal crisis real or man-made? The post office would have made over $400,000 in 2012 but for a death-stroke bill passed in December 2006 mandating that within 10 years the post office had to pony up 75 years in advance all the health-care benefits of all the postal retirees. This burden costs the post office over $5 billion a year.
That kind of burden would kill any department, especially when it is regulated by a postal regulatory commission.
Constables' pay
I just read about the constables' salaries being voted by the magistrates to be eliminated ("Constables' salaries eliminated," March 20). I, for one, do not agree with their decision.
I have known the constable that used to have the Bagdad-Waddy area. David Kincaid was always very helpful and courteous to everyone. That is more than I can say for a certain magistrate.
Taking a stand for land
Environment not protected
Unfortunately, the Horizon Group Properties outlet mall has received all final approvals and will be built in Shelby County. This company has said numerous times it was going to be a good neighbor, but their first un-neighborly act will soon be performed. In a public meeting held last summer, Horizon's Tom Rumptz told a large group of concerned citizens that the lake, wetlands and ephemeral stream to be destroyed will involve the humane treatment of the animals living there.
The sun shines light
I have been around for a long time, also I'm 87 years young. However, one could never prove that humans have caused global warming by studying birds. Instead of birds one should study the sun from the beginning ("Evidence of global warming," My Word, March 6).
Memories of 618 Main
The fire in Shelbyville did not destroy our memories.
Thanks for the recollection of Bob Andriot's connection to 618 Main ("Memory of '85, opportunity left," March 8). His father sold it to my father, Jesse Puckett, and his brother Frank, who sold his interest back shortly after it opened in 1948.

I found Rudy Schmidt's Sept. 12 letter to the editor, "Know difference between right and wrong," offensive and full of redneck rhetoric. He starts off by saying that's it not about right or wrong, left or right, Democrat or Republican, then proceeds to denounce anyone who doesn't buy into the bull being shoveled by the Republicans.
He is basically calling me a godless heathen because I'm not from Planet Rudy. Let's take a look at the statements he made about some people in America believing in the following:

A Developer.com Site
An Eweek.com Site
Does anyone know where the windows xp .pwl files are stored, or does xp
have another name for password files, like windows 2000 has .sam and if so what
is it and where is it.
Welcome Yousefj32uk
Windows XP doesn't use .pwl files. Why do you need to know where the XP passwords are stored? If you give a legit reason, some people may be willing to help you out. If you don't have a legit reason, I suggest you delete this thread and go elsewhere where you can go spend time with some lame script kiddies... maybe they'll be willing to help you.
Well, each Windows NT (Windows XP and 2k being NT) domain has somethig called a Security Accounts Manager or SAM database. This database resides on the domain controllers, and stores various information such as user accounts, computer accounts, and group accounts. Each of these certain accounts are called objects, and the SAM shouldn't contain more than 40,000 (or something like that) objects (according to Microsoft). But if you want more than 40,000 objets you should use what is called a Multiple Master Domain Model, instead of a Single Domain Model.
Now if you want to crack a WindowsXP password there are a couple different ways. The simplest, in my opinion, is simply running a copy of l0phtcrack to gain all users (including Administrator). What l0phtcrack does is finds a registry file holding the the passwords' hashes. And from there beings to sort-out, and bruteforce to get the passwords. A copy of l0phtcrack can be found here.
...This Space For Rent.
The Sam database can be found in several locations within the harddrive. The main folder being windows/system32/config. A backup copy of it is stored in the windows/repair folder
More copies of it can be found in the i386 folder and the last copy can be found in the documents and settings/owner.computername/Recent folder
A html version can be found in My Computer as well..or so my search says
<chsh> I've read more interesting technical discussion on the wall of a public bathroom than I have at AO at times

BRISTOL, Tenn.—A wild wreck in the Irwin Tools Night Race on Saturday night led to an angry Tony Stewart flinging his helmet at Matt Kenseth.
Stewart and Kenseth were racing for the lead on Lap 332 when they got together on the front stretch, sending both drivers spinning into the inside wall.
Angry at the contact, Stewart flung his helmet at Kenseth's car under caution. Stewart then turned and fist-pumped the crowd.
"I checked up twice (off the gas) to not run over him and I learned my lesson there—I'm going to run over him every him every chance I've got from now until the end of the year, every chance I've got," Stewart said.
Kenseth held the lead on a restart on Lap 329, but Stewart dove to his inside for the lead on Lap 332. Kenseth then dove back beneath Stewart and the two raced side by side out of Turn 4.
Kenseth slid up, Stewart came down and the two drivers slammed doors down the front strech before finally spinning near Turn 1.
"We got by Matt there, and it probably wasn't the ideal pass, but we made sure to try the same thing (every time)," Stewart said. "We ran on the restart faster than him each lap, so we just learned our lesson that next time just drive through him, not even be patient by him. We're not going to give him that chance again."
Kenseth had led earlier in the race, while Stewart had rallied from going a lap down early in the race.
Stewart eventually got back on the track and finished 29 laps down in 27th while Kenseth finished 14 laps down in 25th.
"I'm a little confused," Kenseth said afterward. "I was running the top leading and he got a run and he went into Turn 1 like I wasn't there and just went straight to the fence and if I wouldn't have lifted like he chose the next corner not to, we would have wrecked.
"I let him have it. I got a run back, drove all the way alongside of him and just kept going. I lifted down there or else we would have wrecked and he chose not to lift and wrecked us both."
Kenseth said the accident was two months in the making. Stewart had wrecked him at the road course at Sonoma and then again at Indianapolis. After Indianapolis, Stewart told Kenseth he wrecked Kenseth because Kenseth was blocking him.
"I asked for five minutes of his time to clear the air and he wouldn't give it to me and just pretty much got cussed out and (he had) knocked my whole side off and put us in position to get wrecked," Kenseth said.
"I just said, 'OK, that's fine, then I'm just going to race you the same way you raced me.' He showed me how he was going to race me down there so I just did the same thing on the other end. So if you look at it, we did the exact same thing and he just didn't lift. I don't see where that's 100 percent my fault or problem."
Kenseth didn't seem all that worried that Stewart said he would run through him when he got the chance. Stewart and Kenseth didn't have any additional contact during the race and although they were parked near each other after the race, Stewart walked into his hauler and there were no additional confrontation afterward.
"That's fine," Kenseth said. "Tony is probably the greatest race-car driver in the garage. I don't really have anything bad to say about Tony. On the racetrack, basically, for years and years and years and years, we've had tons of respect for each other.
"For whatever reason this year, he ran me off the track at Sears Point, said he was sorry and cost me seven spots in the finishing order and at Indy he was mad because he said I blocked on him."
And what about the helmet coming toward his windshield?
"I was expecting it," Kenseth said. "We've seen that for a while. It didn't really bother me. It wasn't going to hurt me any worse."

Molecular model of the pesticide chlorpyrifos. Art courtesy of National Pesticide Information Center.
The Department of Health and the Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets continue to investigate the possible misuse of a pesticide in the Rutland region by AAA Accredited Pest Control company located on Cold River Road.
The Agency of Agriculture summarily suspended the license of AAA Accredited Pest Control in July.
The company is suspected of using a chemical (chlorpyrifos) to treat for bed bugs and other insects. Chlorpyrifos has been prohibited for indoor use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency since 2001.
The state has obtained customer records from AAA from 2012 that show 150 residences, in addition to the 61 originally identified, that were sprayed with various pesticides.
The state sent letters to those 150 residences on Aug. 7 asking permission to collect samples in homes for laboratory testing. The state is offering the testing at no cost.
"We're asking for everyone's assistance and patience, and we are grateful to the residents who have had their homes tested so far," said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, M.D. "We've been working closely with state and federal agencies and while the scope of our work has expanded, our approach is the same. We want to test the homes and then determine the best course of action to address any possible health concerns."
Chlorpyrifos can remain in a home even if it was treated months or years ago. Symptoms of short term exposure can include runny nose, tearing, increased saliva, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Long term symptoms can include problems with memory or sleep.
The prohibited pesticide was detected in 20 of the 61 homes tested to date.
Recommendations for clean up will be based on the amount of pesticide detected by laboratory testing. Test samples will be collected during the next several weeks.
If you have questions about health effects, protective actions, or to have your home tested call the Department of Health at 800-439-8550 or 802-652-0357.
If you feel sick after pesticide has been used in your home call your doctor or the Northern New England Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222 or chat online at www.nnepc.org.

On the surface, Asian soybean rust doesn't appear to be the sort of thing that could cost a soybean farmer his farm, said Monte Miles, a plant pathologist with USDA's Agricultural Research Service at the University of Illinois.
"It looks like a little bit of brown sugar on the underside of the leaf," said Miles, considered USDA's foremost authority on the disease. "It doesn't look like it could cause much damage."
But looks can be deceiving, said Miles, and farmers in Brazil and Africa who did not take the disease seriously at first have found out just how damaging it can be. Yield losses of 40 to 60 percent have not been uncommon, and crop losses of 100 percent have been reported.
Speaking at a seminar at the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show, Miles said Asian soybean rust has caused disruptions for farmers in most of the places where its spores have landed.
"Since soybean rust was first discovered in Brazil in 2002, the recommendations from the government of Brazil and the Extension agencies have changed three times," he said. "The first year they said spray at R-5 just like you would for any other late-season disease. The second year, it was spray at R-3. The current recommendation: Spray at first detection anytime after R-1."
Since soybean rust has become endemic to Brazil, 30 percent of the acreage has changed hands, according to sources there.
Why should U.S. farmers worry about soybean rust? "If you have a good environment for growing soybeans you have the perfect environment for this disease," he said. "The only thing that seems to slow it down is drought."
Farmers generally have three weapons against a disease like soybean rust — genetics, cultural practices, and fungicides — but don't count on much help from the first two in the short-term.
"We've evaluated about 16,000 germplasm accessions from the USDA collection," said Miles. "Out of that, we have 700 to 800 that might have some usable resistance. But we're talking 10 years to move any of that resistance into commercial varieties."
Cultural practices — planting dates, row widths — also don't hold much promise. "The thing with row spacing is that if you have a tight row the disease gives you a tight focal point," he said. "If you have wide rows it blows through your field that much faster.
"The best cultural recommendation we've got for soybean rust is to choose the agronomic practices that are going to return the most on your farm. It's a lot easier to start with a top yield and try to protect it than it to start giving up yield by modifying cultural practices."
That leaves fungicides as the primary defense against soybean rust for the near future. "Our cooperator in Brazil asks his producers to leave a skip in the field to remind themselves why they're paying all those big bucks for fungicides," said Miles, who coordinates the USDA fungicide testing program in Brazil, Paraguay and South Africa. "He's never had a producer come back and say, 'I wasted my money with these fungicides.'"
Miles said U.S. growers should realize they may have different formulations of fungicides than those available in Brazil and in Africa. "Not all the fungicides in those countries will be available for U.S. producers," he notes. "The risk cup may be too high for EPA. Some of the products may just be too toxic."
USDA cooperators in Africa have been providing information on fungicide applications that could benefit U.S. growers. Clive Levy, a scientist stationed in Zimbabwe, has looked at application timing and the number of fungicide applications needed to control the disease.
"If you wait until R-4 or R-5 to begin spraying, you have already lost half your yield," said Miles. "Based on his information, early vegetative applications may not give you an economic return. That's in his environment. We're all going to have to learn what works in the United States."
Levy also tried to determine if growers could achieve control with a single fungicide application. "You can get away with a single application that's almost as good as two applications, but if you're off one way or the other by 10 days, you're going to take a significant yield hit."
EPA has labeled four products in the United States for soybeans and soybean rust: two chlorothalonil products, Bravo and Echo, and two strobilurin products, Quadris and Headline.
Other fungicides have received Section 18 emergency exemptions: myclobutanil (Laredo); propiconazole (Tilt and Propimax); pyraclostrobin (Headline); tebuconazole (Folicur); propiconazole and trifloxystrobin (Stratego); and tetraconazole (Domark, which just received a Section 18 exemption for a single application each year).
"You have to know what products are going to be available in your state. Every state won't have the same products, so you will have to check to see what your state regulatory agency put in its Section 18 list."
The fungicides are not the same. "This is not Roundup," he said. "Think back to the pre-Roundup days and all the choices you had. Each of these products has different strengths and different weaknesses."
They can be divided into two groups — curative and protectant. The curative products may be used before or after infection, but the protectant product may only be used before an infection has occurred.
"The triazoles tend to be curative, but not all triazoles are curative," said Miles. Some have more curative properties than others. Protectant products — the strobilurins and chlorothalonils — have to be used in a protective manner. Once the disease is in the field they don't provide protection."
The products also differ in the rates they are absorbed into the tissue and how they translocate in the plant. None of the fungicides are systemic, he noted. "They will move up and out, but they will not move down to the roots like a herbicide."
Over the last three seasons, USDA has conducted tests in Paraguay, Zimbabwe and Brazil comparing fungicides that would be available to U.S. producers when Asian soybean rust arrived in the United States.
The studies used a defined protocol with internal spreader rows and borders to maximize the development of the disease. The tests have been arranged in a split-plot design to allow researchers to compare two and three applications and to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the products.
"So we're at 20 days between applications in these tests," he said. "If you read the recommended interval on the product label, some are as little as seven to 14 days and others 20 to 21 days between applications."
Miles showed the results from a trial in Zimbabwe that was selected because researchers knew the exact time the disease started, which was between the second and third applications of the fungicides. "So we had a protective type program in place," he said. "We also know that the disease was severe and that it developed very quickly."
The study was in a high-yield area with the two locations in the study averaging 90 bushels per acre. The two locations also had different varieties, one determinant and one indeterminant.
"All products gave us yield protection, so all the products can be used to control soybean rust," he said. "In most cases, three applications gave us a little bit of a yield bump. Sometimes it was very significant; other times there was not much difference.
"But when you look at the disease ratings before the plants began defoliating, you can see that all of the products are different. On this end, you can see we have products that have no disease in the field. These products have a very high curative activity and a very long residual. Others did not do as well."
The bottom line on the tests? Growers should make the first application at or near flowering and plan on two applications. "Last year in Brazil, farmers made an average of 1.5 applications; this year, it's 1.9," said Miles. "The Brazilians are learning."
Growers should plan to make the second application 14 to 20 days after the first and both sprays must penetrate the soybean canopy to have any effect on the disease, which generally appears on the lower leaves.
Strobilurin fungicides must be used as a protectant. "If disease is not in your field or in your county, but is expected, you can use a preventive or protectant fungicide," Miles said. "If the disease is not in your field, but in your county and downwind from you, you should use a triazole or triazole mixture. It's too late for the strobilurins."
Miles cautioned growers not to make two applications of strobilurins in their fields. "If the disease is present or nearby, you are limited to a triazole or triazole-strobilurin mix," he notes. "You can have an infection in your field and not see it for seven to 10 days. If you use a strobilurin, you will not control the disease in that field."

2000 Toyota Camry ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
America's most popular car.
The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling car in America for the past two years. A spacious cabin, a big trunk, smooth, quiet operation and Toyota's reputation for quality, durability and reliability all contribute to the strong sales of this mid-size sedan. Revised styling and an upgraded interior are designed to improve its appeal for 2000.
Camry is offered in three trim levels: CE, LE and XLE. The Camry is available only as a four-door sedan; the coupe version is the Solara, which is sold as a separate model. (If interested, look for our review of the Toyota Solara.)
CE, LE and XLE come standard with a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 133 horsepower. LE V6 and XLE V6 are equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 194 horsepower. LE and XLE models come with a high level of standard equipment, but the CE offers plenty of comfort, convenience and performance at a lower price.
CE ($17,518) comes standard with a five-speed manual gearbox; an automatic brings the price to $18,318. CE does not come standard with air conditioning, so you may want Value Package #1 ($897), which adds air conditioning, variable intermittent wipers, floor mats, and power windows, door locks and mirrors.
The mid-range LE ($20,388) has proven to be the most popular of the three models. It comes standard with an automatic transmission, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, intermittent wipers, power door locks, mirrors and windows. LE also offers a wide range of options open to buyers. Like other models, it can be equipped with either the four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine; LE V6 retails for $23,158 and comes with four-wheel disc brakes. You can also get an LE V6 with a five-speed manual transmission for $22,358.
The flagship XLE ($24,068) and XLE V6 ($26,198) models add a premium JBL AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo, immobilizing anti-theft device, remote keyless entry and aluminum alloy wheels. A more elegant interior with premium cloth upholstery is a big part of the XLE attraction. Value Package #2 adds leather seating surfaces and trim, a power driver's seat, side-impact air bags and a power moonroof to the XLE for $1,604 or to the XLE V6 for $1,104. XLE V6 comes with 16-inch wheels and tires in place of the 14- and 15-inch rubber on the other models.
A new grille and bumper design and new multi-reflector headlamps brighten the appearance of the Camry for 2000. The taillights have been revised with a new rear bumper design for a smoother appearance. The side moldings were also redesigned. XLE models get a chrome accent on the moldings.
The changes are subtle, however. The front hood and fender contour remains all Camry. The Camry is an attractive car and doesn't look stuffy, but its bland design does not break any ground and will not attract attention. It looks substantial without casting a big shadow. Angular lines stretch the car's profile and give it presence. Minimal overhang at the front and rear of the car push the wheels to the corners, giving it a sporty, dynamic stance. At the rear, a tall, square tail provides good aerodynamics. The lever-style door handles, popular in the 1980s, are hard to grasp and can snap painfully out of your hand when you're in a hurry. The Camry's rigid body structure is designed to offer crash protection as well as form a base for smooth ride quality.
Comfort, convenience and a high degree of safety are among the Camry's goals. Safety starts with avoiding accidents. To that end, anti-lock brakes are standard on LE and XLE models and are a $610 option on CE models. ABS allows the driver to maintain steering control of the car in a panic stop by preventing the wheels from locking up. Dual front driver and passenger air bags are standard. Front side-impact airbags are available as an option on all Camry models for $250; side airbags are designed to help reduce the likelihood of injuries to the driver or front passenger in case of a severe side collision. Three-point seat belts are standard for all passengers including the rear center position, which is not available in all vehicles. Front seat belt pretensioners cinch the belts tight upon sensing, while impact and force-limiters reduce the belt's load on an occupant's torso to help reduce injury.
Convenience starts with the doors, all of which open wide to facilitate easier entry and exit than many other sedans. The interior is roomy, thanks to the Camry's long wheelbase. A generous amount of sound-deadening material makes the interior luxuriously quiet. The interior design and trim are pleasing, although edging on the ordinary. The flowing dash is no-nonsense, yet pleasing to the eye. It houses bright white-on-black instruments. Like most Toyotas, the Camry's controls and gauges are designed to be easy to use. All are right where you'd expect them to be and work just they way you'd expect them to work. Audio and climate control knobs are simple and within easy reach of driver or passenger.
Thoughtful amenities abound. A second power outlet is located at the bottom on the front console, next to the built-in tissue dispenser. The sun visors have extension panels. The front cupholders hold 20-ounce bottles, and the rear cupholders can take either juice boxes or cans. There are numerous storage cubbies, and a capacious glove box.
The LE comes with new fabric and an optional power seat package (no charge) that is also available in leather ($1,710). Still, the LE's cloth seats lack support. The cloth upholstery, even in the CE, feels built for extended use, however.
For 2000, all three trim levels have improved audio systems with AM/FM/CD/cassette standard. Audiophiles will want to check out the premium JBL six-speaker setup that comes on the XLE and is optional on the LE; a six-CD changer is also available.
The trunk offers a convenient low lift height and a more than adequate storage area. We had no problem getting four golf bags loaded into the trunk; golf bags will even fit cross-wise. The rear 60/40 split seat folds forward, increasing the load hauling ability. The gooseneck hinges on the trunk lid, which intrude slightly into the cargo area, are less than ideal, however.
Driving Impression
Long days spent in the Toyota Camry fail to reveal significant faults with any aspect of the car. The Camry feels smooth, soft and comfortable around town. It isn't a sports car and floats a bit on its suspension, but it handles well and is easy to drive fast. Overall, this car is smooth and quiet, though a small amount of road vibration comes through.
The standard powerplant for the Camry is a 136-horsepower 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine that is remarkably smooth. A four-cylinder engine in a car this size is usually a dismal choice, but not here. Although the four-cylinder does not produce the power of the V6, it performs quite well. Toyota's 2.2-liter inline-4 is smooth and relatively free of the noise and vibration associated with four-cylinder engines. The 2.2-liter provides acceptable acceleration performance and, once up to speed, keeps the car rolling along nicely. It has to downshift more frequently, and passing on two-lane roads requires more planning than with the V6. The four-cylinder engine is economical to buy and operate, which is why 85 percent of Camry buyers opt for it. It earns an estimated EPA city/highway gas mileage rating of 23/32 mpg when equipped with the manual transmission, 23/30 mpg with the automatic.
Toyota's 194-horsepower 3.0-liter engine is one of the best V6 engines in the industry. For the extra money, you get a significantly more powerful family sedan that will accelerate from 0-60 mph in about 8.7 seconds, as opposed to about 10.9 seconds for the four-cylinder engine. It provides good smooth power with good performance for passing and accelerating briskly from intersections. Toyota recommends premium fuel (91 octane) for the V6, however, and it gets an EPA-estimated 19/27 mpg.
Opt for Toyota's four-speed electronically controlled automatic and you'll be getting an excellent transmission. The ECTi transmission mated to the V6 features an adaptive program that responds to individual driving styles. Drive more aggressively and it will delay the shift points for more spirited performance. Leisurely cruise around town and it will shift sooner for smooth, fuel-efficient performance.
Automatics in four-cylinder models do not benefit from the adaptive intelligence feature, but they do come with a little button on the gearshift lever that allows the driver to lock out overdrive. This keeps the transmission from shifting above third gear. We found it provided much better acceleration performance when winding along California's coastal roads or up and down mountain passes. We also found it helpful on many occasions heading down city streets for a quick trip to the market.
V6 models come with four-wheel disc brakes that quickly stop the Camry without drama. Four-cylinder models use drum brakes in the rear, but we experienced no brake fade with them. Traction control, which reduces front wheel spin for improved control in slippery conditions, is a $300 option for some models.
The Toyota Camry is a smart choice. While some sedans offer more style or better performance, the Camry will leave you with the feeling that you made a wise decision. This car is easy to drive and live with and you'll enjoy years of easy, trouble-free operation. Toyota vehicles historically hold a resale value well beyond the competition and are leaders in terms of quality, durability and reliability. That's why the Camry is a perennial favorite among mid-size sedans.

Esquire was founded in 1933, as a men's apparel trade magazine with exclusive distribution through haberdashery stores. By the 1940s, the magazine had broadened its focus and increased in popularity, due in large part to the famous Varga Girl covers.
As the only general-interest lifestyle magazine for sophisticated men, Esquire defines, reflects and celebrates what it means to be a man in contemporary American culture. Required reading for the man who is intellectually curious and socially aware, Esquire speaks to the scope and diversity of his passions with spirited storytelling, superb style and a tonic splash of irreverent humor.
Esquire, celebrated for its strong literary tradition, offers pieces on diverse topics—from politics and health to fashion and the arts—by the finest journalists and authors working today. The magazine has always been a showcase for writers, beginning in the 30s with Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and including the pioneers of so-called New Journalism in the 60s—Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer and Gay Talese, among others.
Regularly recognized as one of America's top magazines, Esquire has received many plaudits. The title is the most-honored monthly magazine in America. Over the past 15 years, it has won a total of 16 National Magazine Awards, the industry's equivalent of the Oscars. Its website and e-reader applications have been similarly honored—Esquire won the first-ever National Magazine Award for iPad applications. Most recently, Advertising Age named David Granger Editor of the Year and honored the magazine in its annual A-List issue. Also in 2013, Esquire was named Hottest Men's Magazine by Adweek magazine in its annual Hot List issue.
Over the years, Esquire has also been honored with numerous awards for short fiction, multiple citations in the Best American Sportswriting, Best American Magazine Writing, Best American Crime Writing anthologies, and an award from the James Beard Foundation for superlative writing about food. The Society of Publication Designers has honored Esquire with 20 gold medals.
For its innovative 75th anniversary cover in October 2008, which was the first time electronic ink was used on a magazine cover, Esquire was named Publishing Innovator of the Year by Publishing Executive Magazine. Esquire has consistently been a leader in implementing technological change in the print arena. In addition to the e-ink cover, the December 2009 issue featured the use of Augmented Reality on the cover and throughout the issue, which—when held up to a computer's webcam—triggered an interactive experience that brought several features to life. In December 2012, Esquire announced the first-ever completely interactive, shareable magazine made possible by Netpage, the app for paper, through which readers can digitally clip, save, and share every article, ad, and photo from the December print edition of Esquire and all issues going forward. Readers can also play exclusive videos and purchase items right from the pages for an entirely new way to experience a magazine.
In October 2013, Esquire celebrated its 80th anniversary. "The Life of Man" was the largest issue in Esquire's history. Hearst Magazines acquired Esquire in 1986. In addition to its U.S. flagship, Esquire publishes 27 editions around the world.

Parks & Landscape Home
Why does the
landscaping in my neighborhood look unkempt?
Yuba County maintains the landscaping along major
roads and only upon right of ways that have been properly deeded
to the County. In areas where development is still occurring,
the parcel of land on which the landscape is constructed may
still belong to the developer. Until it is deeded to the County
for maintenance, it is private property and is up to the
developer to maintain. This process may take several years
before the County eventually oversees the area. Although
unsightly, the County cannot enforce private landholders to
maintain their property unless it creates a health and safety
Please call Yuba County Public Works at (530) 749-5420 to
determine if the area is under County jurisdiction, and if so,
the Parks and Landscape Coordinator will work diligently to
rectify the situation.
Who maintains the
landscaping in my neighborhood? In all County owned
areas, the County is directly responsible for the upkeep of the
developed landscaping. This includes mowing, edging, weeding,
irrigation and trash removal. However, to reduce costs, the
County will often go out to bid for and hire sub-contractors to
handle these tasks. If there are any problems with the level of
service provided, please notify Yuba County Public Works at
(530) 749-5420.
If the area is not under County ownership (e.g. when the
developer has not relinquished control), contact the land owner
(developer, etc).
Where does the funding for landscape maintenance come
from? For most subdivisions, homes are assessed yearly
via County Service Area assessments. A portion of that money
pays for the costs of landscape maintenance and upkeep, in
addition to streetlights, fire protection, parks, drainage, etc.
In other areas of the County, the funding comes from General
Fund tax dollars.
What if the street tree in front of my house has died or
become damaged? Please consult your developer for
possible warranty coverage. If the warranty has expired, it us
up to the homeowner to ensure it is replaced. Consult with the
Yuba County Planning Department at (530) 749-5470 to confirm.
What if I would like a different street tree in front of
my house? In many cases, the species of tree was
selected and approved per plan to provide shade and uniformity
for years to come. As a rule of thumb, imagine what the street
would look like in 20 – 30 years with trees of all different
shapes, sizes and growth patterns. Prior to changing the street
trees in front of your home, please consult with the Yuba County
Planning Department at (530) 749-5470.
Include on this website for reference is a list of approved
trees suitable for planting in Yuba County. However, all trees
in front of residential dwellings must be deciduous (sheds
leaves in autumn), and per ordinance 12.87.035(a), they must be
no further than forty (40) feet apart along the street.
