The Queens Central Library is showing off its new look, as two of the three phases of renovations have been completed. This is the first major renovation to occur in this facility since it opened in 1966.
The first phase, which was fully functional in 2012, included ADA-compliant bathrooms, electronic scheduling for computer use, and a new cyber center.
The second phase was unveiled and opened to the public last Friday. With an expanded media center, self-checkout stations and a general reference area, the old facility is looking new again. The second phase of the project cost an estimated $47.8 million.
Along with these new additions, the library also announced a new quiet room and specialized job information and health reference areas.
With over 2 million visitors annually, it has become the main public research library in the borough, prompting the makeover.
Library officials said that even the architect, Gensler, wanted to design the new layout of the facility as a reflection of Queens, with a décor that features dynamic, high-energy color." Some of the art hanging on the walls is of iconic scenes of Queens.
For example, in the media center, the aisles have black-and-white images of old movie theaters from the borough's past.
The media center, which was in the basement of the facility at one time, is now just off the main lobby, which had a wall removed to create more space for customers.
Frank Lashley is a longtime patron of the Central Library, and travels 20 minutes each way just to get to the library. Lashley said it's worth it for the selection that the new media center has to offer.
"It's ten times better than what it was," he said. "They have more of a selection."
Borough President Helen Marshall was on hand for the opening and spoke about the importance of libraries in the community.
"This library is a tremendous resource…for thousands of users who may want to expand their education, advance their careers or research a health-related issue," she said.
Marshall has allocated $16 million in capital funds to the Central Library alone, and over $117 million overall for libraries in Queens since she took office nearly 12 years ago.
Another major funder of the project is Councilman Leroy Comrie, who allocated $7 million in capital funds.
"With the Adult Reading and Reference area re-opening, the Central Library will be able to continue to actively serve Queens residents now and into the future," he said.
The next phase will be open in 2014 and include a new entrance to the library and customer service desks. One unique aspect the library will feature is a café and gift shop. A teen area with separate study and creative areas, quiet and program rooms will also be constructed.

Something You Probably Didn't Know About Mark Teixeira…
This afternoon the New York Yankees topped the Minnesota Twins for the second straight game, beating them by a score of 7-1. Dating back to 2009, the Yanks are now 12-0 in their last 12 games against the Twins and going all the way back to 2002, the Twins are 3-25 in the Bronx.
That's ownership at its finest.
With the Yanks leading 3-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Mark Teixeira absolutely murdered a pitch off Minnesota reliever Jesse Crain, a ball crushed deep to right field. The ball landed in a luxury suite below the last tier of the ballpark.
Teixeira became the first person to hit the ball anywhere near the third level of the new Yankee Stadium.
That…was a bomb!
Last season, Jorge Posada hit a towering homer that many thought might reach the upper deck. The ball fell short of the grandstands. When he was questioned after the game about whether or not he thought the ball would reach the upper level, Posada had one thing to say:
"Teixeira's going to do it."
Posada, who also homered in the seventh inning of Saturday's game, was correct.
Watching such a long and glorious home run, I had to wonder–where does Teixeira get that kind of power? Does he eat eggs, like Roger Maris did in 1961? Does he just work out every single day? Maybe he just does a lot of push-ups.
Or maybe, just maybe, he gets his power from God.
A few days ago my Uncle Tom came by for a visit at a family gathering. Being a Catholic priest (and someone I mentioned before in my blog entry about Grant Desme) he knows other priests from all over the country. Apparently one of his fellow priests from Baltimore is good friends with an umpire and his friend was able to meet Teixeira not long ago.
According to my uncle, Teixeira is a "good Catholic and attends mass regularly."
The Yankee first baseman signed about 12 or 13 baseballs for the parish in Baltimore and those autographed balls will be auctioned off. The money will go to charity and funds for the church.
It's a great story. It makes me proud to know he at least thanks God for what he has.
I guess I should have known Teixeira was rich in his faith. After all, he attended Mount Saint Joseph High School in Maryland–the same High School my cousin Johnny currently goes to.
The last time I saw him, Johnny told me how Teixeira gave the school a grant to repair the baseball diamond. From what my cousin told me, the field was in bad shape. The school however used Teixeira's money and redid the football field instead.
Kind of a raw deal, if you ask me.
Johnny also mentioned how his current English teacher taught Teixeira years ago, and how he wanted to try out for the baseball team. In fact, my cousin hopes to play first base at Mt. St. Joe's, just like Teixeira. Johnny did not get around to making the team this past season, but he wants to try next year.
And I hope he makes it!
As for Teixeira, the story about his faith makes me appreciate and admire him even more. And if you are wondering, he is currently hitting .217 with 28 RBIs on the year.
His tape measure shot this afternoon was his seventh of 2010. I guess he can go to mass tomorrow morning and thank God for that.

History comes into play as Crew, D-backs swap HBPs
PHOENIX -- The D-backs may have extracted their measure of flesh from the Brewers on Tuesday night when they plunked outfielder Ryan Braun, but they certainly didn't get in the last word.
That belonged to Milwaukee's Jonathan Lucroy, who followed the hit-by-pitch with a grand slam that capped a five-run seventh inning and led the Brewers to a come-from-behind, 7-5 win.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- The D-backs may have extracted their measure of flesh from the Brewers on Tuesday night when they plunked outfielder Ryan Braun, but they certainly didn't get in the last word.
That belonged to Milwaukee's Jonathan Lucroy, who followed the hit-by-pitch with a grand slam that capped a five-run seventh inning and led the Brewers to a come-from-behind, 7-5 win.View Full Game Coverage
"You know what?" Brewers starter Kyle Lohse said. "They won tough-guy points today. But I don't know where the stats are for those. We won the game because of that. It was pretty unnecessary."
The HBPs between the two teams started in Monday's series opener, when D-backs outfielder Gerardo Parra was hit by a Wily Peralta pitch in the seventh inning. Parra and Peralta glared at each other as Parra went to first base.
On Tuesday, D-backs infielder Didi Gregorius was hit by a pitch to lead off the first, and shortstop Chris Owings was hit in the sixth.
Later that same inning, when D-backs starter Mike Bolsinger squared to bunt, a pitch sailed over his head.
All three of those pitches were thrown by Lohse.
"Sometimes down here with the dry air, I don't get the same movement with my fastball and sometimes it pops out," Lohse said. "I've never been that wild. Obviously, I didn't mean to do that."
Things got heated in the seventh, when the Brewers scored a run and had runners on second and third with one out and Braun stepping into the box against rookie Evan Marshall.
The D-backs and Braun have a bit of a history, dating back to the 2011 National League Division Series. Braun had a great NLDS against the D-backs, though later it would be revealed that he'd tested positive during the series for performance-enhancing drugs.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson has spoken out on at least two occasions about Braun, and at one point last year said he hoped to one day get to talk to the slugger, because he had a question he wanted to ask him.
Marshall's first pitch of the at-bat sailed behind Braun, though catcher Miguel Montero was able to get a glove on it to keep it from going to the backstop.
"With a base open, you try to get a hitter to leave his comfort zone to swing at your pitch, and my pitch is to go down and in, and it got away," Marshall said.
Home-plate umpire Ted Barrett walked to the mound and talked to Marshall.
"He asked what happened, and I told him that the ball slipped, just like it did, and he gave me a ball and didn't say anything. He just returned to the plate," Marshall said.
The next pitch hit Braun in the buttocks.
"We know the way the game works," Braun said. "I wasn't surprised I got hit; I was surprised I got hit in that situation and circumstances, with the go-ahead run at second base and the tying run at third base, and they were ahead. I was a little surprised by that. But we hit a couple of their guys -- it wasn't intentional, but that's the way the game works sometimes."
Barrett immediately ejected Marshall as Braun calmly walked to first base.
"It's ridiculous, and it's overreacting," Lucroy said. "To me, if they want to protect their guys, fine, but I really didn't understand doing it right there in that situation. It is what it is. It worked out for us, and we'll go into tomorrow."
Marshall received fist-bumps and high-fives in the dugout; the first came from Gibson.
"We weren't going to leave it out over the plate," Gibson said when asked about how the D-backs tried to pitch Braun in that situation.
The fact that Marshall threw behind Braun with the first pitch and hit him with the second after two of his teammates had been hit by pitches led some to conclude that the pitch was intentional.
"The game plan there with guys in scoring position, we're trying to create some soft contact, and my best stuff is to sink down and in," Marshall said. "A ball got away and got him, and that's what happened."
Gibson was asked if he thought his pitcher needed to hit someone after two of his players had been plunked.
"I'm not going to comment on that," Gibson said. "You've been around the game long enough."
After Marshall was ejected, Brad Ziegler came on, and Lucroy hit his first offering for the grand slam.
"It just feels good to get the win," Lucroy said. "Whether it's quote-unquote payback, I'm not about revenge or payback. I'm about winning the game."
Lucroy was asked if there would be any carryover for the rest of the series, as two games remain.
"I don't see any reason why people would -- we're not going to do anything," he said. "We're not trying to hit anybody. If they want to hit us, fine. We'll get on base and drive them in. I don't care. If you want to hit me, fine. I get hit all the time. I don't care. Whatever."
And Braun didn't bite when asked if he thought the hit-by-pitch was Gibson paying him back for 2011.
"You'd have to ask him," Braun said. "I wish him the best. I hope he finds peace and happiness in his life and is able to enjoy his life. I wish him the best."

In certain urban centers – I won't name names - locavorism has almost become an affect, in the, "I'll have the Hudson Valley Squab with pickled ramps grown on a roof in Queens and fertilized by ambient heirloom pigeon crap," kind of way. (Fine, I'm talking about Chicago) But in Vermont, local-sourcing feels natural and refreshingly un-preachy. It's expected. Assumed. And the quietly fervent regionalism extends to the often un-local donut. Which is why I'm pre-empting my remaining Pacific-Northwest coverage for a quick note on our Green Mountain donut encounters.
Mrs. B and I set out last Wednesday to celebrate our fourth anniversary by sitting in a cabin and toying with the notion of catching our own trout. It was essentially our twelve-year mark if you count the extended courting period and we didn't catch a thing. Our cabin was 20 miles outside of Montpelier - the only state capital without a McDonald's - and there were no donuts and no people, except for a friendly woman named Penny who arrived in a pickup one morning bearing towels. There were also lots of huge freaking spiders. It was awesome, but the donuts didn't happen until we hit Burlington, where we spent our last two days eating, drinking and making jokes about Phish and weed.
Our first morning we trawled the farmer's market downtown, discovering that Vermont donut dough is incredibly soft. Maybe it's the water, or the hippies, but every donut we sampled – three vendors total – managed an incredibly soft, pillowy, easy-going dough. And unlike the hippies, all without a greasy residue.
First there was a kind old Church bake sale-type lady selling baked Vermont maple cake donuts. Baked donuts are generally incorrigibly turd-like. But not hers. Imagine the soft dough from above smeared with a smooth, sugary frosting mixed with real Vermont maple syrup. Plus a few sprinkles to distract from all the brown. It had all the flavor of a fried cake but with a lighter disposition and a toasty, caramel-y flavor which tasted totally natural, unlike the artificial tang of most "maple" donuts.
Shelburne Orchards. Again, super soft and light, though with a slightly firmer fried exterior. There was a nice subtle apple flavor from the homemade VT cider and the cinnamon/sugar coating was in perfect proportion.
Dinky Donuts is headquartered in nearby Middlebury, but on the weekends also sets up shop at the market where they sell out quick. With the exception of the sugar, every ingredient in their donuts - the flour, the eggs, the fillings - is locally sourced. We sampled a cinnamon-sugar cake and a plum-filled raised.
I should mention that the Burlington farmer's market is lousy with plums. Like Subarus, they grow lots of them in Vermont, some of which ended up inside our donut. The plum-filled was enormous with the inflated appearance of a maxed-out balloon. The firm, browned exterior gave way to a soft and airy dough which was heartier than most raised donut dough. Somewhere in between a typical raised and typical cake really. The filling tasted like, well, plums: surprising given the cloying nature of most donut innards. In all it was tart, fruity and mildly sweet; and it almost tasted healthy in a fried sort of way.
The plum was so good, a trip to Middlebury was in order. Next up: a visit to the brick and mortar Dinky's to feed from the source.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl until foamy. Spread the flour and bread crumbs out in 2 separate shallow bowls. Dredge a chop in the flour to coat all sides. Tap off any excess flour. Coat the chop with egg and let it drain for a second or so over the bowl. Lay it in the bread crumbs and turn a couple of times, patting the crumbs onto the chop to adhere. Set the chop on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chops.
Pour 1/2-inch of canola oil into a large, wide skillet. Heat over medium heat until the tip of the handle of a wooden spoon gives off a lively sizzle (about 375 degrees F). Add half the pork chops to the oil and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to an 11 by 15-inch baking dish or any baking dish that holds all the chops snugly, overlapping them along 1 side of the pan. Repeat with the remaining chops.
Spoon as much of the onions and peppers from the vinegar as you like (about 1/2 cup works for me) over the chops. Drizzle vinegar over the chops and bake until no trace of pink remains near the bone, about 25 minutes. Serve right away.
Cut the tops off the pineapples and discard. With a large knife, cut the rind off the pineapples leaving as little pineapple attached as possible. Put the rinds in a pot large enough to hold them comfortably and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over low to medium heat and cook until the pineapple peel is very tender, about 30 minutes. Add water, if necessary, to keep the rinds submerged.
Meanwhile, put the onions, oregano, peppercorns, garlic, habanero or other chile pepper, vinegar, and salt in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Strain the pineapple liquid into the jar. If there is not enough liquid to cover the ingredients, add more water to the pineapple and boil for 20 minutes. Taste and add a little more salt and/or a little vinegar, if you think it needs it. You can use it as soon as it cools, but it will get better as it sits.

Class A office space in East Memphis continues to be a strong performer thanks to the convenience and quality of buildings radiating from the Poplar/Interstate 240 intersection.
"East Memphis is a real bright spot regionally because if you look at the overall Memphis market it is a bit flat," said Kemp Conrad, president of Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors Asset Services. "The East submarket, especially with Class A space, is very strong and dynamic, with strong tenants and strong institutional ownership."
Conrad called East Memphis one of the stronger office micro-markets in the Southeast U.S. Occupancy remains above 90 percent for Class A space around Poplar Avenue in East Memphis. Asking rental rates for East Memphis Class A office space average $24.35 per square foot, and overall Class A occupancy in the submarket is nearly 85 percent, according to the most recent Advisor Report from Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors.
"There's been a flight to quality," Conrad said. "I think as the Class A-plus buildings are leased up, those landlords will be able to have some pricing pressure and will be able to push rates a little bit."
Recent deals in East Memphis include Wright Medical Group moving its headquarters to the Oaksedge office complex at Park Avenue and Cherry Road, and Adams and Reese LLP recently signing a 10-year lease for 13,500 square feet at Highwoods Properties' Crescent Center.
The Crescent Center, Boyle Investment Co.'s 999 Shady Grove Road building and Hertz Investment Group's three Forum buildings are collectively more than 90 percent leased, and Highwoods' Triad buildings are approaching 90 percent full.
While rates are likely to rise at A-plus buildings in East Memphis like the Crescent Center, Triad III and International Place, Class B space is anticipated to be flat to negative simply because there's still so much vacancy.
Overall for the Memphis office market, average asking rental rates have jumped from $15.03 per square foot at the end of last year to $16.14 per square foot as of the end of the third quarter, according to the most recent Research & Forecast Report from Colliers International. Average overall office rental rates in East Memphis are $18.95 per square foot, the highest of any Memphis submarket.
Conversely, total office vacancy rates ended the third quarter at 15.9 percent, up slightly from 15.7 percent at the end of the second quarter.
"The rising rental rates are a bit counterintuitive because the market posted increased vacancy in the third quarter," said Frazier Baker, vice president of office services for Colliers International. "This is attributable in part to space in class A buildings shrinking; therefore, these owners have the ability to push rents while the class B market continues to increase in vacancy."
Eugene Woods, Frazier Baker and Andy Cates of Colliers International are pictured at Triad Centre in East Memphis, the city's hottest office market.
(Memphis News/Andrew J. Breig)
Baker cited Colliers' recent move as a perfect example of the trend.
"We were leasing almost 8,000 square feet in a class B building off Poplar and were able relocate to a more efficient layout in a Class A building on Poplar without increasing our rental outlay," Baker said.
Fresh office construction is underway on International Paper's newest building, and from his new office window Baker can see a site that Boyle has ready for possible future office development next to its 999 Shady Grove building. He believes it is unlikely, given the overall vacancy rates in the market, that any developers would consider new construction in the near term unless the building is significantly pre-leased.
Conrad agreed.
"We could possibly see some more boutique-type Class A buildings in the 50,000-square-foot to 100,000-square-foot range, similar to the Legacy Center developed by David Peck a couple of years ago," Conrad said. "I think in order to see another large building sized over 125,000 square feet to 150,000 square feet, there would probably have to be as much as 75 percent pre-leasing from one or two anchor tenants. And there aren't that many of those to go around in Memphis."
No significant move-outs are expected in the East Memphis submarket over the next several months, leaving Class B space as the most significant blocks of available office space.

Manuel plans to reward Huskies' Ollie for a job well done
Arlington, Texas - Coach Kevin Ollie has earned praise and respect for leading UConn on a surprising run to the Huskies' fourth national championship Monday night.
He's also earned a raise, according to athletic director Warde Manuel.
Manuel has talked several times in recent days about sitting down with Ollie after the season ends to talk about his contract.
"Nothing to think about," said Manuel when asked about renegotiating Ollie's contract. "From my standpoint, he's done an absolutely wonderful job. When you look at where he is, it's going to cause me to do some work and I'm willing to do that because the success that Kevin has had."
Ollie was hired as interim coach to replace Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun in September 2012 and then given a five-year deal worth almost $7 million in late December that year. His contract runs through the 2017-18 season.
He led the Huskies to a 32-8 record and a 60-54 victory over Kentucky before 79,238 at AT&T Stadium, a national championship game record.
Manuel believed UConn had potential to reach an elite level when the season started, but the Huskies exceeded his expectations.
"I knew they were talented if they played together," Manuel said. "I knew we had some tremendous leadership in Shabazz (Napier) and Ryan (Boatright) and Niels (Giffey), in terms of how they held together and bonded together over the last year and a half.
"And I knew them as young men, terrific young men. Did I know we would be here, did I predict that? No. What I knew is that we had the potential to do what we did. I live everything game by game."
It will be a smart move for Manuel to reward Ollie for his coaching success. Ollie is likely to be considered a candidate for both college and NBA job openings. He has strong ties to the professional ranks where he played for 11 different teams in 13 seasons.
Ollie has earned a few contract performance bonuses for his team's postseason success. He'll receive roughly $100,000 - one month salary ($33,333) each for qualifying the NCAA tournament, reaching the regional semifinals and advancing to the Final Four.
If UConn won the national championship on Monday, Ollie is due about $67,000, or two month's salary.
Napier following Walker
Napier received the Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award on Monday morning. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced the winner on Sunday.
Napier is the second UConn player in four years to receive the honor, joining former teammate Kemba Walker (2011).
"It is an honor for us to award such a worthy athlete of this prestigious award," said Bob Cousy in a released statement. "Napier has fought hard in the NCAA tournament and has stood out all throughout his college career as a dominant force in the game and a remarkable point guard."
Napier was attempting to lead the Huskies to a national title, just as Walker did in 2011. Both players earned All-American status.
During the first five NCAA games, Napier averaged 21 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Walker averaged 23.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists during his championship run. He was expected to attend Monday's championship game.
Calipari-UConn connection
Calipari was an assistant on Larry Brown's Philadelphia 76ers staff in 1999 when Ollie played there. Ollie's teammates used to give him a hard time because he kept detailed scouting reports.
"He was unbelievable student of the game then," Calipari said.
Calipari also has a long history with UConn, running the UMass program (1988-1996) for eight years. There was a great deal of friction between Calipari and coach Jim Calhoun.
"It was a rivalry," Calipari said. "We wanted it to be, they did not, which I don't blame them. They were in the Big East. We were in the Atlantic 10. We really didn't play each other, but you had two teams going at each other.
"But all I can tell you is I've always had great respect for the program and players."
Championship history
The Huskies own more titles (4) in the last 15 years than anyone. They also won in 1999, 2004 and 2011, including the last two in the state of Texas - San Antonio and Houston.
Duke (2001, 2010), North Carolina (2005, 2009) and Florida (2006, 2007) each own two since 1999.
A basketball preacher
Senior Tyler Olander was asked Sunday if the Huskies call Ollie by the nickname, "The Preacher." Ollie is a deeply religious man.
Olander gave the reporter a puzzled look before answering.
"He's a basketball preacher," Olander said. "He's really strong in his faith and passionate for the game. So you when combine those two things, he's preacher of the game."
News and notes
Napier needed five points to set the senior scoring record at UConn and pass Tony Hanson, a Waterbury native, who had 702 points in 1976-77. � UConn and Kentucky were the first programs to play for the national title after not qualifying for the NCAA tournament the previous season since 1966.
Twenty years later, UConn's first national championship win still a shocker

Its all about the kids. He has 38 years in education to back that up As both an administrator and teacher in dozens of schools, elementary through high school, he has used that mantra to the advantage of thousands of students. He earned his college degrees from the University of South Florida through the GI Bill of Rights and w orking at the Registrars of ce. He was born in Bangor, Maine, and grew up outside of West Point, New York. He found after returning from service in the Army that he no longer wanted any part of the cold, so he chose USF to further his education. Thats where he met the woman who would become his wife. She is now an accountant and they have one grown son. The couple stayed in Orlando till she got a job in Texas. After eight y ears she grew weary of the traf c so they returned to Orlando, ndNew I.H.S. principalall about kids by Patty BrantImmokalee Bulletin Building leaders is one of the most important endeavors anyone can undertake. Middle schoolers are at a major crossroads, just beginning to step into the larger world and nd a place for themselves. Over the summer, 11-year-old Francisco Brito took a huge step toward growing up. Thanks to the recommendation of his science mentor at Eden Park, Ms. Madeline, he attended the week long Junior National Young Leaders Conference July 21-26 in Washington, D.C. The recommendation is just beginning because the students and their families are required to come up with $3,000 for everything from air fare to accommodations and the program itself. Fundraising was hard work for Francisco and his mother, who made and sold pork and chicken dinners and desserts. They are also very grateful to many local people who freely donated to the cause. They are very appreciative of the help they received from Ben and Hayward Starling, Nicole J. Starling, One by One Leadership, Lipmans Jaime Weinsinger, Susan Golden, from Principal Linda Salazar at Eden Park who allowed fundraisers at the school and the Immokalee Chamber of Commerce for its support along with Florida Community Bank which set up an account for donations and all those who individually donated or bought dinners. Finally, Francisco joined some 240 students from around the country from July 21-26 in a whirlwind of sightseeing, museum tours and historic sites around the Washington, West Virginia and Baltimore area. The Maryland Science Center in Baltimore was a favorite of Franciscos, where he actually lay down on a bed of nails with no pain. He still doesnt understand how that worked. But then he had lots of favorite places and activities. There were a lot of focus groups, Francisco said, each with a different topic like recycling and the one Francisco led on internet safety. Each student kept a journal for the week. Francisco has seen the Capitol, the Supreme Court and the White House.

A LaBelle Middle School student is ghting for his life at Miami Childrens Hospital. Zachary Reyna, 12, has been diagnosed with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis or PAM. The infection is caused by Naegleria fowleri, a brain-eating amoeba. PAM is deadly in most cases. According to the Center for Disease Control, in the past 50 years only three victims have survived, including the recent case in Arkansas of 12-year-old Kali Hardig, who is still hospitalized. An online campaign Pray4Number4 has Facebook and Twitter fans all over the country sending prayers that Zachary will be the fourth. According to family members who have posted updates on Facebook and Twitter, Zachary is believed to have come in contact with the amoeba while kneeboarding in a ditch near his home in Port LaBelle on Aug. 3. When Zachary started showing signs of illness, at rst the family just thought Zachary had a 24-hour bug, according to Zacharys older brother, Brandon Villarreal. But when the normally active boy slept all night and all day, his mother sensed something was wrong. On Aug. 7, Zachary was hospitalized in Fort Myers. The next day, he was airlifted to Miami Childrens Hospital, where he is in pediatric intensive care. According to family members reports on social media, a spinal tap showed positive for DNA remnants of the amoeba. The boy underwent surgery on Aug. 10 to relieve pressure on his brain. Zacharys doctors in Miami are in contact with the doctors in Arkansas who treated Kali Harding. According to Brenda Barnes of the Hendr y County Health Department, initial symptoms of PAM usually start within one to 7 days after infection. The initial symptoms may include headache, fever, nausea, or vomiting. Other symptoms can include stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, seizures, and hallucinations. After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly. While keeping vigil at the hospital, Zacharys family is also using social media to warn others of the dangers of swimming in warm freshwater lakes, ponds and canals where the amoeba may be found. Keep bringing your prayers, Danny Reyna, Zacharys uncle, tweeted Tuesday. The support around the country is awesome. Also spread the word on amoebas. Keep our children safe.

He learned about American heroes like Marybeth Tinker who, in 1965 at age 13, fought for the right to wear black arm bands in school to protest the war in Viet Nam. Her Supreme Court First Amendment case, Tinker v. Des Moines, established the right of students to freedom of speech as long as it did not disrupt school.

Doctors are saying things have not changed. We are still strong on our end because we know God will step in when he is ready. Keep praying. According to Danny Reyna, Zac is an athlete who loves being outdoors. Because he loves baseball, family members are urging him to hit a home run and win his ght against PAM. I told him its the ninth inning, ninth inning two outs, runner on third, hes up to bat. Its his turn to hit it out. Bring the runs home so we can go home. Its time to win, said Brandon Villarreal in an NBC television interview on Monday. Hes going to be OK.

PrayerContinued From Page 1 By Maribel De Armas Here we are just a few days before school doors swing wide open once again and we welcome our nearly 45,000 students district-wide. Monday (August 19th) is the rst day of the 20132014 school year, so w e want to share some words of wisdom as parents and students get ready for the big day. This weekend: Get back into school routines if you havent already. Be sure your child returns to the school year sleeping schedule, and be sure he or she goes to bed early enough on Sunday to get a good nights sleep. Also on Sunday evening, be sure clothes are picked out and maybe even laid out, and have book bags or backpacks ready and near the door. Monday morning: Have your son or daughter eat a good breakfast at home, or keep in mind that a free, healthy breakfast is available for any student at his or her school. Monday evening: Be sure to talk about the rst day. Youll want to hear the good news and the not-so-good in case theres a problem you can help with. As you know, probing questions are best for example, Tell me one thing you learned today thats new or interesting. Finally, school buses havent been on our streets very often in weeks, except for some summer school runs. Our law enforcement friends remind us that with school buses added to the traf c mix, and more cars, well want to allow a bit more time to get around. And if you have a child in Kindergarten, please dont leave him or her at the bus stop unattended.

Since then Mr. Fairbanks has been with the Collier County Public School district, gaining experience and excelling providing cohesion in schools. When the superintendant once again beckoned him, saying his talents were needed in Immokalee: We need your expertise . . words he said hes heard often during his y ears in education. He has a totally child-centered philosophy which leads him to always do whats best for the student, he said. He is adamant that all educators should make the life of the student better or nd another career. He adds that hes a good listener, caring and dedicated, giving 125 percent. Students will see him in the community. In school by 5:30 every morning, dont be surprised to see him at school events after hours, long after school let out for the day. Its not all about academics, he says. Students are mainly there for an education, but education doesnt stop with books or these days technology. Students need to be active in the life of the school, he feels, they need to learn to give back to the community. These are some of the best days youll ever come across, There are many things to teach students besides academics learning responsibility and patriotism as well as earning a dilploma. Often kids are lacking in these simple but important life sessions, he notes, like caring for people being a friend to all and just smiling. I.H.S. is a new challenge for Mr. Fairbanks, but he said hes had experience at all socioeconomic levels. His approach is always the same, Just look into their hearts. Across the country districts are ramping up for the more rigorous Common Core Curriculum. Mr. Fairbanks said they are great standards but will take time to implement. They are less factual, but incorporate more critical thinking, He noted. Actually, he feels Collier schools are showing growth but there are a lot of challenges ahead. He believes that parents and students must buy into the new standards in order to succeed. It will take the whole community, he commented. Ken Fairbanks is not a complete stranger to Immokalee. He said he knows some of Immokalees leading educators including Manny Touron and Linda Salazar and hes a proli c reader who has done some homework on Immokalee. As the new principal. he said he steps back and observes never making wholesale changes. He will take a good look at the school grade data before setting up goals and targets. He gives credit to former principal Dr. Murray for growth at the school. He looks at successful strategies and gets expert ideas before moving forward. He believes in accentuating the positive. He wants motivated kids who want to be in school so he tries to make it a place where students want to come and learn. He said he realizes that I.H.S. may be a bit more challenging, but he said the school can rely on the district, which is all about equity. He believes that successful teachers are involved in students lives. He believes that teachers ought to be tired at the end of the day, because teaching is hard work. Teachers and staff are working toward the August 17 open house. He feels the Bring Your Own Device incentive allowing students to bring their own iPhone, iPad, etc., to do research in school and providing devices for freshmen and sophomores is a great way to integrate technology into the school and bump up student involvement. Regardless of what programs are in place, Mr. Fairbanks is making it a point to get the community involved in the high schools activities. That, he feels, in an integral part of the entire support system for education.

Back country access point work The Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens and Big Cypress National Preserve are working together to protect South Florida wildlife with a new exhibit that encourages people to treat alligators, wading birds and other animals with respect, for the safety of the wildlife and the public. The new exhibit, to be installed at several popular wildlife viewing spots along the Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) within the Preserve, is being funded by the Naples Zoo Conservation Fund with a $15,000 donation to the South Florida National Parks Trust, the nonpro t partner of Big Cypress National Preserve. The exhibit represents the rst project of a new partnership between the Naples Zoo and Big Cypress National Preserve. Additional exhibits are planned for the Naples Zoo and at entrances to popular backcountry trails at Big Cypress. The exhibits will emphasize wildlife conservation and safety. "We are grateful for the strong partnership with the Naples Zoo and to be working with them for the bene t of South Florida's wildlife and the safety of the public," said Pedro Ramos, superintendent for Big Cypress National Preserve. "These exhibits will encourage people to enjoy the rewards of being in nature while also appreciating the responsibilities we have to protect wildlife," said Tim Tetzlaff, Director of Conservation and Communications for the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens. The Tamiami Trail exhibits will urge visitors to keep a safe distance from wildlife and to refrain from disturbing or feeding alligators and other animals. Alligators that are fed pose a danger to the public and may be removed and killed. "The overall message of the exhibits is wildlife conservation and safety," said South Florida National Parks Trust Chairman Neal McAliley. The rst Living with Florida Wildlife exhibits jointly produced by the Naples Zoo and the Big Cypress are scheduled to be installed later this year along the Tamiami Trail.

(August 6, 2013) With 10 states reporting record high temperatures this summer, the National Weather Service warns hot temps and high humidity will continue to create danger that causes heat illnesses especially for the elderly. Even if temps drop a bit in our area, experts warn the elderly often do not take proper precautions to stay cool and hydrated. 40% of heat related deaths are among people over the age of 65. A study out of Kent State University shows most respondents over age 65 thought the heat warnings for seniors did not apply to them and were targeted to older Americans. Thats why Visiting Angels, one of the nations largest in-home senior care companies, with an of ce in our area, advises families to protect their aging relatives by assembling Senior Summer Safety Kits. These kits include vital, yet, inexpensive tools to make sure elderly loved ones have the protection they need to stay safe during hot summer days especially when family members are not around. Seniors often dont realize their bodies cant handle heat like they used to so they fail to take extra precautions. Thats why its so important to have resources available right w ithin reach, says Visiting Angels CEO, Larry Meigs. Seniors can get dry because their body water content decreases and medications can dehydrate them. Take the time to prepare a Senior Summer Safety Kit. If you cant be with your elderly loved one, hire a caregiver to make sure your senior hydrates, applies sunscreen and stays active and engaged indoors. Whats in the Senior Summer Safety Kit? (contents optional) Reusable water bottle to maintain hydration Copies of all prescriptions and health insurance cards Phone numbers of health care providers and information concerning chronic health problems Broad spectrum sunscreen, at least SPF 30, to prevent serious burns Snap Towels that activate with water and have a cooling effect when applied to the skin Misting fans that require no electricity in case of a power outage An ID bracelet with personal information and emergency contact numbers A pre-paid cell phone for seniors to use in an emergency The Senior Summer Safety Kit can be easily purchased and assembled for $25 $50 in less than 15 minutes. How Visiting Angels Summer Safety Caregivers Help Seniors Visiting Angels caregivers come to the home to help with chores like cooking or y ard work which can be strenuous in the heat. They also make sure seniors take proper precautions to beat the heat. Wear Lightweight, Loose Fitting Clothes Caregivers help with laundry and can make sure seniors have enough clean, lightweight loose clothes to stay cool. Drink up! Caregivers remind seniors to drink water throughout the course of the day, even if theyre not particularly thirsty (eight, 8oz. glasses at least). As adults continue to age, the amount of water retained by the body decreases substantially. Caregivers ll water bottles and keep coolers well stocked. They can even make mock tails drinks the senior enjoys like lemonade or fruit juice mixtures which do not include caffeine or alcohol. Stay cool Caregivers close blinds and curtains keeping the house cool, even in triple digit temperatures. Caregivers also have battery operated/hand-held fans readily available to keep their seniors comfortable. Most seniors are budget-conscious, so its important for caregivers to be sure the AC is set to a proper, cool level and its working. Caregivers can also be responsible to check lters once a month. Stay in air conditioning in the afternoon The hottest part of the day is from 3-5 p.m. Caregivers provide inside activities like playing cards, going to movies, the mall or the library to keep seniors active inside to avoid spending time outside during the most dangerous hours of the day. Eat plenty, but eat light Caregivers prepare light food because heavy foods, like meat and cheese, tend to make the body work harder to digest, using more water and generating more body heat. Help With Late Sundown Syndrome (periods of agitation in the evening for seniors with dementia) Caregivers help by keeping seniors active in the day so theyre tired-out at night and can go to sleep with no problem. Caregivers also keep seniors on steady nap and bedtime schedules so their bodies get used to the routine. Follow new sunscreen guidelines Caregivers are well versed on the FDAs newly released guidelines about sun protection. Seniors are more prone to sunburn because their bodies have less water. Caregivers educate seniors about these new regulations such as theres no such thing as sweat proof or water proof sunscreen. Or, that you must re-apply sunscreen every two hours for it to work effectively. Copies of health care information In case of emergency, caregivers have copies of seniors prescriptions, health insurance card, and phone numbers of health care providers. We can provide photos of a Senior Summer Safety Kit (available upon request) and/ or interviews with caregivers making the kits and working with seniors to keep them happy, healthy and safe this summer.

To prevent mosquitoes from living and multiplying around your home or business, individuals should remember to drain and cover. Drain standing water: Drain water from garbage cans, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, owerpots or any other containers where sprinkler or rainwater has collected. Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that arent being used. Empty and clean birdbaths and pets water bowls at least once or twice a week. Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that dont accumulate water. Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use. Cover your skin with: Clothing If you must be outside when mosquitoes are active, cover up. Wear shoes, socks, long pants and long sleeves. Repellent Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with 10-30 percent DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus and IR3535 are effective. Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old. Cover doors and windows with screens: Keep mosquitoes out of your house. Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches and patios. Symptoms of West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne illnesses may include headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness, and confusion.

8 Immokalee Bulletin August 15, 2013 To advance its mission of quality healthcare accessible to everyone in the community, the Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida raised nearly $1,750 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation during its inaugural Ultimate Yard Sale, Aug. 3, at the Marion E. Fether Building in Immokalee. Yard sale chair Lizzy Perez said she was pleased with the funds raised, but even more rewarding was the signi cant support of Healthcare Network employees from all 13 locations and the overwhelming response from the Immokalee community. "Words cannot explain how I felt the moment I saw the crowd!" she said of the long lines on Saturday morning. "Success is simple if you work hard for it and our team was able to achieve that success this weekend." Sale items were provided by employees, w ho cleaned out closets, garages and storage sheds to donate items no longer needed and still in usable condition. Over 20 volunteers assisted with the collection, set up and operation of the sale, which drew nearly 500 shoppers. "We de nitely hope to make this an annual event a time for all of us to come together to celebrate the Immokalee community," Perez said. Annually, the Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida provides primary care for 45,000 people in Southwest Florida (32,000 are children) at 13 medical and dental service locations in East Naples, Golden Gate, North Naples, Marco Island and Immokalee. The Healthcare Network also provides pediatric, medical and dental services, including screenings for autism, through the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile¨.

Submitted photoThe Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida raised nearly $1,750 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation during its inaugural Ultimate Yard Sale on August 3. Dwight Brock, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Collier County, would like to let the citizens of Collier County know that homeowners in Florida counties are receiving letters from a private company offering to provide a copy of their property deed for $83.00. The company, Property Transfer Services is located in Wilmington, Delaware. Brock stated he "does not want the public to be taken advantage of, so unless someone has an 80 page deed, it does not make good economic sense, as most deeds are just one or two pages in length." He also wants to take this opportunity to remind Collier citizens that they can obtain a copy of their property deed on http://www.collierclerk.com/ free of charge, or by visiting the Clerk's Recording Department on the second oor of the Courthouse Annex at the Government Center Complex or at any full service satellite of ce (provided it was recorded in the of cial records after 1981). The Clerk's charge for copies is $1.00/ page, plus an additional $2.00 charge for a certi ed copy, plus any mailing costs. Citizens who wish to learn more may call the Clerk's Recording Department at (239) 252-7242 or (239) 252-8261 or email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com Beware of Property Deed Service via Mail

How to Root JiaYu G3 + working Recovery mode
The rooting of JY-G3 or JiaYu G3 has already been posted on the official JiaYu forum for quite some days already.
Original information was written in Chinese language, but its a good thing that we are able to translate it. I am rewriting here the steps so that many users can easily understand it.
Brief, the method is just simple. You just have to flash the working recovery for this JiaYu G3 (which is on Chinese) and then install the ROOT update via recovery.
Disclaimer: I wont be liable for any damage this procedure will cause on your device. This includes re-flashing the JiaYu G3 so do it at your own risk.
Steps on how to root JiaYu G3
- First, you must have the proper Android drivers installed on your computer. It wont just install by itself if you just plug the device on your PC. For this, I am recommending the use of pdaNet (just google it) so that you'll easily get the drivers installed. Just be sure to "enable USB debugging" on the "Developer options" of the JY-G3, plug in your device on the PC then install the pdaNet.exe, choosing "Others" when prompted for device model.
- Then download this package. It has all the stuff we need. Extract it on your PC so you can easily use the files inside.
- Next step is, remove your phone's battery and back cover. Prepare the USB data cable but dont connect the phone yet.
How to flash Recovery
- Run the Smart Phone Flash Tool application. Click on the "Scatter loading" button and then browse/select the MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file that you can find on the extracted package that you had downloaded.
- Then there will be a file list, be sure to just put a check on the RECOVERY and make sure that the path to the recovery.img is correct.
- Click the "Download" button and then confirm.
- Now, connect the phone.
- Attach the battery.
- The Flash Tool will now start doing the flashing process, just wait till you get a "success" notice or green circle. After that, your phone will restart.
- You just had successfully installed recovery on your JiaYu G3.
Here's an image guide which is pretty much straight forward:
How to enter the recovery mode in JiaYu G3
With recovery mode enabled on your JY-G3, just like any Android device you can now install updates/mods easily on your device. Most of these usually need to be installed via recovery mode.
- Turn off the JY-G3.
- Hold down power button + volume up.
How to Root JiaYu G3 (via recovery)
- Copy the file JYG3-ROOT.zip on the root of your SD card.
- Then enter into recovery mode.
- It is Chinese, but select the option: "从SD卡上安装刷机包". It means, install from SD.
- Then browse for the JYG3-ROOT.zip file on your SD card's root.
- Select "是–刷入JYG3-ROOT.zip". It means "flash JYG3-ROOT.zip".
- Your phone will do its work now and will return to recovery mode's home.
- Restart your JY-G3.
Enjoy your rooted JiaYu G3! Here's some proof that the new JiaYu G3 can be rooted with the mentioned method.
Can't determine the original poster of this tutorial on JiaYu forums, but full credits goes to him.
I do not have my JiaYu G3 yet, but this is awesome to know that there is already a working recovery and rooting procedure on this phone. Too bad that some units on the first batch of JiaYu G3 was released with screen problems, thus adding further delays on the coming of the next batch for us.

1970 Ridge Zinfandel Jimsomare
Blind tasted at Spencer's last night, this was more than a little puzzling. Initially there was a mustiness that seemed corky, but turned out just to be bottle funk. Once that blew off there was this very bright red fruit, a mushroomy quality and ultimately some herbs as well. Interesting! On the palate things were a little more funky. The red fruit and herbs were still there, but they were very spiky, almost volatile. The acids were incredibly bright, and the age of the wine (in retrospect) showed in the finishing alcoholic burn, as there just was not enough stuffing left to cover up the 15.8% alcohol (per the revealed label). Still this was a fascinating experience, if not the most successful showing for a bottle of wine.
