3rdthawkins: doing good
alt: Arthur is fine too.
3rdthawkins: lol I grew up hearing so much about my uncle Arthur, so the name is so fixed in my mine, I am so glad I finally got to speak with him.....but I just hope the Arthur in chat doens't talk as much as my uncle, gosh!
alt: Arthur in chat has been told to shut up on a few occasions lol
3rdthawkins: my uncle, you can literally put the phone down, go do something, come back, pick up the phone, and he's still talking, and won't even know you left
alt: hmmmmm, that sounds like a couple of my friends.
3rdthawkins: but he's cool
alt: all you have to do is to add an occasional uh huh, or somepi'. you & sumpin'
3rdthawkins: yep, maybe record your stuff saying uh huh and just push play and put the phone down lol stuff-self hey Selma
alt: hello Selma, how are ya today?
Selma: Hi 3rd and alt.. Doing OK alt
alt: hearing anything from daviss? I'm missing her here in chat.
Selma: No haven't heard...I miss her too. I thought I saw that she posted something on one of the Forums the other day
alt: yep, I saw her posting,,, maybe she can post, but just can't get into the Chat Room. I've been reading about some very nice 'discoveries' folks are making in their research.... very encouraging for those with 'brickwalls'.
3rdthawkins: well, speaking of which, I connected my mother with her biological father's family, the Townsends over the weekend
alt: wonderful 3rdthawkins, I think vkn is researching the Townsend surname... not sure of locations & timeframes, but do know there is an Ohio connection with her folks.
3rdthawkins: sent a letter to my maternal grandfather's youngest sister (one of only two still living) two weeks ago, she called a niece of her's (my mother's 1st cousin) and had her call
Selma: Your mother never had any contact with this side of her family?
3rdthawkins: she also was able to connect with her half-siblings, two of them, still trying to get in contact with the others.........no Selma, never knew her dad nor any of her siblings
Selma: Well good job
3rdthawkins: thanks
alt: then this is an 'exceptional' find for you and your mother 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: thanks
alt: this will/can keep you busy as you hit 'snags' in your other research areas 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: it appears most of them didn't grow up with their dad either, the 1st cousin of my mom didn't grow up with her dad in her life either....seems the Townsend men were roamers hello vkn
alt: hello vkn.. how goes it in 'Lanta?
Selma: Afternoon vkn
vkn: Good afternoon peeps
alt: does anyone else get the newsletter from the Northern California Genealogy group?
Selma: Is that the one that Lisa Lee was the editor..if so..sometimes
3rdthawkins: hello 70 's
Selma: Afternoon seventies
Seventies Soulchild: hi vkn, alt, Selma and 3rd
alt: yes it is Selma.. they have a new editor, format and this latest issue had some very interesting articles. hello Seventies Soulchild, how are ya?
Seventies Soulchild: doing 'tolerable'
alt: that's good enough for me ....tolerable LOL
Seventies Soulchild: lol oh you know, I meant to ask Lisa Lee if it would be ok to use her conganuinuity chart video on my blog... ooh that was a finger twister... lol
alt: Selma, there was an article by a lady in Oakland that connects to Mrs. Lucas' Whitman folks from Prat Co., KS, later in Tacoma Wash and then in the Bay area.... I read her article and said wow!!!!!! Pratt co. Ks
3rdthawkins: hello bearnut2
Seventies Soulchild: hi bearnut2
alt: hello bearnut2... what's up?
vkn: Howdy bearnut & seventies
bearnut2: Hi 3rdthawkins Seventies Soulchild alt Selma vkn
Selma: Sometimes they send a newsletter to our organization PO box..when I get there I will check Hi Bearnut
3rdthawkins: let me ask you all a question....I know about the migration up north from the south, but anybody know what the move to California would be for?
Seventies Soulchild: MS, LA, TX
3rdthawkins: Mainly in the 40s, 50s, 70s,
alt: when 3rdthawkins?
Seventies Soulchild: Its still all part of the great migration... MS, LA, TX
Selma: Depends on time frame
3rdthawkins: oh, ok, thx 70s, just wondering, see a lot of that in my family, I mean, I know why the Jacksons went to California, just not sure why my family did lol
alt: 40's 50's & 60's a lot of it was for job opportunities, military assignments, etc.
Seventies Soulchild: Where did they settle? Oakland had jobs, unions, etc.
Selma: You might want to read the Warmth of Other Suns...she talks about all those migrations including CA
alt: I'm talking about the 1940's 50's & 60's
3rdthawkins: Alameda County, Kern County, Contra Costa Co., Los Angeles Co.,
bearnut2: I've been meaning to get that book! Thanks for the reminder Selma
Selma: It is wonderful bearnut...
Seventies Soulchild: Also Devil in Blue dress main character Easy Rawlins was from TX moved to LA after WWII I'm sure that it was based on some fact, the migration piece
alt: Alameda, Contra Costa are in the Bay area, LA and Kern are of course further south.
3rdthawkins: gotta read that book 70's, haven't read it since the 90s, my brother still has that book, I'm living with him now
Seventies Soulchild: I have been watching a few movies and the migration babies have really been documented quite a bit. In both fact and fiction. I think it was a great idea for vkn to suggest that we start a forum on it. We'd be able to share our stories.
alt: my latest 'thing' has been the migration to California in the 1850's 60's & 70's by some of my Adams & Reno ancestors.
Seventies Soulchild: Gold Rush era huh?
3rdthawkins: yeah, I'll look at the map again for exact locations of those places, and focus on that more
bearnut2: Most of my main line ancestors tended to stay put but I'm finding several collateral lines who moved north. The ones from TN tended to go to MO, IL, OH, or MI and the ones from FL went to NY and PA.
Seventies Soulchild: You mentioned that you had some people in OR & WA states, alt. I wonder if they came there for the same reasons.
alt: I guess Seventies Soulchild. although the made their money by being Barbers and Wagon Drivers.
Seventies Soulchild: I was watching secret passages and they were discussing Seattle and an underground city. They went into the history of the city being a U.S. stop for gold miners going to Alaska I thought that may have been a draw for your migrating family members. Seemed like there was quite a bit of business in that city during the late 1800's and early 1900's
alt: one interesting note is that one ancestor returned to Ohio in the 1860's by way of boat which went around the tip of South America and up to NY.
Seventies Soulchild: wouldn't taking an overland route been shorter and cheaper? Maybe he wasn't in a rush.. lol
alt: not sure Seventies Soulchild maybe cheaper but not necessarily faster. the wagon trains sometimes took 3 months or better. prior to the 1869 when the train routes were opened up
Seventies Soulchild: Interesting alt. I only have recent family who migrated to the West Coast. most of them went from MS to California.
3rdthawkins: I guess definitely researching the times they were living in is a must, I forget about the great depression
Seventies Soulchild: I don't think that there was a lot of permanent migration during the great depression. My great grandfather used to feed and temporarily house black migrants who were traveling through MS during those times.
3rdthawkins: I'm glad for the 1940 census coming out in less than a year and being online, I get to see exactly where they were and what they were doing right before migration, or during
Seventies Soulchild: Remember the great dust storms also affected the economy during the 1920's
3rdthawkins: hello yatah
yatah: hi
vkn: Howdy Yatah
alt: here is a photocopy of a page from the 1861 Sacramento City Directory showing a 2nd great-grandfather as a Job Wagoner for the Golden Eagle Hotel in that city. http://tinyurl.com/3pneqyy

yatah: july 29 th
vkn: Who are you seeking at Meharry Seventies
3rdthawkins: ok, wow......I'm not sure about PA, some places do take long to send it......SSA's only take two weeks if it's ordered online, about a month if it's by mail
Seventies Soulchild: My uncle Benj E. Washington. He received his medical degree from there. Looking for educational records, not sure if they have his degree on file.
yatah: yea it was
Seventies Soulchild: No, but I am tenacious. Also, working with these HBCUs can be tough.
yatah: i can order by mail it will fast >
vkn: In what year Seventies
Seventies Soulchild: between 1910 and 1915, not sure of the year.
yatah: i wish i mean
3rdthawkins: online is usually faster yatah, but you never know with some places
yatah: oh ok i got it
alt: yeah Seventies Soulchild, HBCU's are barely able to survive and educate their current students, funds are lacking for archival personnel and the retrieval of information for us genealogist/researchers.
Seventies Soulchild: right, I wish I had the cash to go and just travel for a month or so to these places. I definitely have the vacation time.
3rdthawkins: they get so much mail yatah, that it will take a little while even to get to your mail and process it and cash the check (they do that first to see if it's legit).......online, they already have your order information, so it doesn't take long to process it
vkn: Yes the budget is not there at Majority Black Institutions
yatah: ok
alt: yep Seventies Soulchild, when we have the time we seldom have the monry and when we have the money we seldom have the time..... what a vicious cycle LOL
yatah: i hope i can get right information on that about parents lol
Seventies Soulchild: Truly it is... talk about keeping people down.
Selma: Vkn..did you get my email re: Franklin county VA and PA?
vkn: Well Morris Brown is about to get status back Yes Selma thanx
alt: that's good to hear vkn this latest issue of Ebony has a feature story on Fisk and it's financial troubles vkn.
vkn: A local church raised/donated $22,000 and that retired the pending debt Yes the Fisk situation is sooooooo sad
3rdthawkins: never knew they had problems when I was there *when*
vkn: I did not know there was an Ebony piece. Will get a copy today
Seventies Soulchild: I thought that was for Morris Brown? So it was for Fisk too?
vkn: Yes the 22 was/is Morris Brown
Seventies Soulchild: smh
alt: yepa, for only 22K, it would probably be 'pocket change' for an alumnus from a larger institution to give up that kind of money.
vkn: Fisk prob relates to a works of art
yatah: anyone you remember that you help my family history with davis and mintz ? last time
alt: it does vkn .. relate to the 'art' holdings.
3rdthawkins: I know Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Nashville, they themselves are trying to get out of debt, I wonder if they were helping Fisk? Bishop Walker does a lot for the community there
Seventies Soulchild: I know its chump change for where I'm at. I can tell you $22k is what they spend here on Supe's events
vkn: Thanx for info re article

Pastors: Act now or prepare for jail
I've already told you about how H.R. 1592 will destroy equal justice (setting up a victim hierarchy), set up a Gay Gestapo with unlimited funds and send grandma to jail for sharing her faith on the public sidewalk, as happened in Philadelphia. But what you may not know is how this bill scheduled for a vote in the House this week will come after pastors and all those who disagree with the homosexual agenda out loud. H.R. 1592 the so-called "hate crimes" bill isn't about hate. It isn't about "crimes" (there are already stiff penalties against crimes); it's about speech.
Forget theory. Let me give you a real-world example. Here's a question: Which is worse? Actions or words? Robbing someone or calling him a mean name? Which one deserves the greater penalty?
Before you answer, let's say the name was really mean, like being called "Four-eyes!" I played on the public school playground, used to wear glasses and have been victimized personally by such horrific verbal assaults. They hurt my feelings. And there ought to be stiff penalties for something like that. Stiff like 23 years behind bars? I don't think so. But the state of New Hampshire does.
I know what you're thinking. Can't be. We can't criminalize name calling. The public schools would be empty – with everyone behind bars until their 30s. Oh, I left something out. The mean name in New Hampshire isn't "Four-eyes," targeting the visually impaired; it isn't "Fatso," shamelessly targeting the lovers of cheesecake. The only people protected from mean names with a 23-year jail sentence are … homosexuals.
Robbing someone outside a convenience store is a Class-B felony in New Hampshire, which typically carries a sentence of three and a half to seven years in state prison along with a $4,000 fine. But according to Assistant County Attorney Roger Chadwick, if convicted of a "hate crime" (shouting an anti-homosexual name), the sentence becomes "enhanced" by 23-26 1/2 years – turning a three-year sentence into a 30-year sentence.
Oh, and it's not a hypothetical. According to the New Hampshire Union Leader, John Guimond, 23, faced those charges. He was charged with stealing a cell phone from a homosexual man, 24, and his underage "male partner" (a statutory rape violation), after approaching them in a parking lot.
Stealing is a bad thing to do. But keep in mind, no weapon was used, no injury sustained. Just that mean name – something far, far worse. Think about it for a minute. If saying a mean anti-homosexual word adds an additional 23-26 ? years to a sentence, and people live to around 80, that penalty is one-fourth of your life for the words you say. And while this was in addition to a robbery penalty, how much of a jump would it really be to penalize the speech "infraction" alone? And just what constitutes an "anti-gay epithet"? Would an "anti-gay epithet" be to say, "Homosexuality is a sin," or "Homosexuals should repent"? What if you informed someone that "Homosexuality is harmful to your health"? If I were you, I wouldn't try it in New Hampshire.
So, if speech turns a three-year sentence into a 30-year sentence for a state "hate crime" violation, just what might H.R. 1592 do on the federal level? As Rep. (and former Judge) Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, pointed out on the House Judiciary Subcommittee, if passed, H.R. 1592 is going to put pastors in prison. Pointing to Title 18 of the US Criminal Code, Section 2 (a):
(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal. –18 USC Sec. 2
Pastor? Have you ever counseled from a biblical perspective or read from Roman 1? I Corinthians 6? Genesis 19? Leviticus 18 or 20? Then, if H.R. 1592 becomes law and someone who has attended your church, read your materials or heard your broadcast commits a crime – such as pushing away a cross-dresser's unwelcome advances – you are "punishable as a principal," as someone who "counsels" and "induces" the now-illegal belief that homosexual behavior is a sin.
Think this is a stretch? Think again. In 1998, I oversaw the national "Truth in Love" campaign, which expressed hope for change for those struggling in homosexuality – something for which I was accused of murder. Here's a sample of one of the full-page "Truth-in-Love" campaign ads that caused all the commotion. One ad pictured 850 ex-homosexuals with the headline, "We're standing for the truth that homosexuals can change." Brace yourself for "hateful," "bigoted" and "intolerant" speech said to be responsible for murder. (Note: If you're under 18, you may want to ask your parents before reading it.):
We believe every human being is precious to God and is entitled to respect. But when we see great suffering among homosexuals, it's an inherent Christian calling to show compassion and concern.
Wow. With words like "precious," "respect," "compassion" and "concern," you can understand why the city of San Francisco would be prompted to accuse us of murder:
It's not an exaggeration to say that there's a direct correlation between these acts of discrimination, like Matthew Shepard, such as when gays and lesbians are called sinful, and when major religious organizations say they can change if they try, and the horrible crimes committed against gays and lesbians.
– City of San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Oct. 19, 1998.
We now have a governmental body on record connecting speech and violence. It's not even violent speech. They are saying that the hopeful message that homosexuals can change is responsible for murder. That, my friend, is why the hate-crimes legislation is the most dangerous legislation in the country. It will lead to silencing our speech just as the city of San Francisco tried to do.
H.R. 1592 isn't about hate. It isn't about crime. It's about silencing our speech. But you don't care about speaking out on "issues" such as homosexuality? As I said in my book, "The Crimnalization of Christianity," if they can silence the truth, they WILL silence the Gospel. Look no further than Philadelphia where grandmothers were thrown in jail for the "hate crime" of sharing the Gospel.
Arlene Elshinnawy, a 75-year-old grandmother of three, held a sign before she was hauled off to jail: "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth." View her 30-second ad and help us tell her story while there is still time.
Or you can use your "right to remain silent." But the House vote on H.R. 1592 is scheduled this week. Use it much longer, and those are the words you'll hear before you're put in the jail cell next to grandma for the "hate crime" of sharing the Gospel.

Grievances as a Public Good
This summer, I made a project visit to a government clinic in northern Sierra Leone. It is a clinic pretty much in name only, being constructed as 1-bedroom living quarters for a teacher and subsequently converted into a health facility. The nurse took me on a tour, pointing out the problems: a broken scale to weigh infants, no waiting room for early stages of labor, animals grazing and

AMV needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 102 designs submitted by 45 freelance designers.
The root of my success in business is in Sales. Every job I had before i started my business prior to 1983 was in sales. Then in the early days of my business I made a living from knocking on doors and selling books door to door. Then started my financial services business and sold myself to success. First on my own and then by leveraging myself and building a sales and management team. Therefore everything I built was as a result of my sales skills. I have also qualified multiple times for the million dollar round table at their highest level Top of the table. Out of 15000 people at work in Gibraltar we acquired 8000 clients. My leadership, management, motivational, time management, delegation, negotiation skills and business acumen, nlp, goal setting, etc came later and as a result of being successful in sales. So what we are doing needs to be niched in sales. I want to appeal to everybody in sales, however my bio will say that i am the leading expert in success in sales for the financial services industry.
Business professionals (either salesman, CEOs, or solo-preneurs and entrepreneurs).
Logo should communicate the smart solutions and smart choices that are being presented by the host, Kenneth Castiel. His approach is straight forward and engaging. He presents short lessons about growing and running a successful business via stories, anecdotes, and witty repartee.
Biz icons should NOT include money or $ sign. (Not all about money, all about business)
Looking for Classy, Stylish, fresh.

Seriously. I haven't blogged in over a month:-). There have been a few things on my mind though. Some just random thoughts.
I just did my taxes and I found out that although education credits were typically nonrefundable in the past, this year it is partially refundable up to $1000. That's cool! Now I need to figure out what to do with another thousand:-). Anyway, Anthony, I believe we were discussing this the other day and you were right. I stand pleasantly corrected.
Also, I have realized that I am sort of a hypocrite. Part of me hesitates in trusting other dental students in my mouth, but then again, I hope people trust me when I start working on patients. But, I do have an appointment tomorrow with a friend in third year so I guess I am not too bad... Except it is just a cleaning:-).
And, I have kept that old picture up of me on the right as a sort of motivation. I even had it up when I had short hair, but now my hair looks pretty much like that again. Sweet huh? I can't wait till it gets to the tip of my nose.
The weather has been beautiful lately. Well, that is partially just relative to how it was before that which was pretty miserable. But really it has been nice.
And those are pretty much my thoughts for now. I will try to post again soon.

That being said, I find it funny, that Hannah took the pictures in a cemetery.
pattern: free Owl Pullover at Needled by Kate Davies
yarn: Bernat Alpaca, 70% acrylic, 30% alpaca, color Ebony, 4 balls, 5th ball for about 1 inch at the collar, ~ 500yds total
size: S 34" bust
needles: 6mm
start-finish: Jan. 26-28
How is it possible to knit a sweater in 3 days? If you are slightly obsessed with it, and use 6mm needles, that's how.
From the first moment I saw this sweater, I wanted to knit it. Thank goodness, Hannah wanted it too! I wish I could have used better yarn, but it had to be easy care for her, and this way it was cheaper too. What I forgot to think about before I started, was, that I needed 34 buttons for owly eyes. Where do you get so many buttons of the same kind?
At first I thought I'll use 3 different kinds, but in the end (after sewing on about 4 buttons) I asked Hannah, if she would be O.K. with only the front 6 owls having eyes, and she was. Good girl!
This sweater was knit in the round from the bottom edge up. It's got decreases and increases in the back for better (close) fit. For some reason the sleeves took me the longest. Did I ever mention I don't like knitting sleeves? Argh!
I wished to God, that it would fit Hannah, and as you can see in the pictures, it does! I LOVE the one where you can see the back, not just because of the sweater, but the whole picture does it for me. :o) Thanks Honey, for the gorgeous photos!

If 'cycle chic' is something that you have been trying to master – that is, looking totally fabulous on a bike while dressing functionally and with panache, look no further than those clever, design-savvy Londoners. We love the idea of melding sustainable style with green transportation, and Cycle Chic is a great online guide featuring ways to cycle safely while sporting some rather fashion-forward ideas. Any opportunity to wear tartan plaid with a biking helmet always gets me rolling, and I am happy to see that girls everywhere are being totally adventurous while sending the message that style needn't be sacrificed when one opts to pedal to their next destination.
That back-to-school vibe is totally in the air right now, and whether you are headed back to campus, or simply stocking up on a few items to freshen up your fall wardrobe, Cycle Chic is a great source for chic transportation style. The UK-based website features super-cute and helpful tips on how to dress 'safely' while also having full-range of motion in swishy, feminine couture. Don't expect lots of Lycra fashion on Cycle Chic – this is sustainable style with a focus on flowery frocks or kilts (with cute 3/4 leggings), floaty capes allowing free-range of motion, and fabulous helmets that are great for bad-hair days, too.
I especially love the bike baskets featured on the site – good old-fashioned wicker, classic plaid, flowery satchels, as well as edgier Swedish, lace-inspired designs. Cycle Chic is written by chicks for chicks, and you have to admire the editors' free-spirited, can-do-attitude. Safety on the street as well as bike buying, storage, and maintenance tips all play a part in touring with eco-ease. Forget dealing with the used-car salesman who is trying to sell you a lemon, Cycle Chic blows the skirt off of the need for a car, or the dorky trouser bike clip, for that matter.

Power Up Your ASUS Netbook With 24 Free/Open Source Apps
Netbooks Change the Landscape
Eighteen short months ago, Taiwanese manufacturer Asus debuted the Eee, the netbook that launched the latest craze for small, lightweight, inexpensive laptops. When the original 350,000 units - all equipped with Linux - sold out in just a few months, the open source community rejoiced.
Since then, the competitive landscape has changed considerably. Today more than 50 manufacturers make netbooks or "mini-notebooks." Most of these are still priced under $500, but several approach $1,000. Instead of appealing to the students and residents of developing countries who were the original target market, most netbooks are purchased by middle class consumers who want a second, more mobile computer (or who view the devices as a fashion statement).
As the market has changed, the devices themselves have also changed. The original 7-inch screens have grown to 10 inches. Colorful cases for the fashion conscious abound, and keyboards no longer feel as cramped as on the first netbooks. Hard drives and RAM have increased dramatically, and the newest Eee model will ship with an optical drive, the first netbook to do so.
These changes have only served to increase the popularity of a product that was already enjoying exponential sales growth. In fact, netbooks sales are one of the few bright spots in the suffering tech industry. Analysts estimate that between 20 and 35 million netbooks will ship this year, dramatically growing their share of the laptop market.
ABI Research principal analyst Philip Solis believes, 'Netbook sales may not be adversely affected - in fact may actually be helped - by the recessionary pressures." He points to three facts to support this belief, "First, netbooks are a fairly new class of device, and widespread adoption has only recently begun. Second, they are relatively inexpensive, and some consumers may see them as a viable alternative to that pricey laptop they originally intended to buy. Finally, they can run inexpensive operating systems that don't require powerful hardware."
While ABI believes that those "inexpensive operating systems" (i.e., Linux) will be the norm on netbooks by 2012, it hasn't happened yet. In fact, three out of four netbooks sold last year shipped with Windows installed.
Despite that somewhat disheartening news, open source developers have continued plugging away on apps for netbooks. While many of those projects are still in the early stages of development, several are at a point where they could be useful to Eee users. If you're an Eee owner, here are 25 open source apps worth considering. Some were designed specifically for the Eee, and others are among the most popular apps available through Eee Download (and most useful). And if you
Still in the early stages of development, this Asus-sponsored project provides a place for netbook users to interact. It includes documentation and source code for the Eee. Operating System: Linux.

This Linux kernel driver makes it possible to use those extra keys on your Asus laptop to control your display, and it makes the appropriate lights blink to show when you have mail or a live wireless connection. This project now includes the eeepc-laptop project which was aimed specifically at the Asus Eee netbooks. Operating System: Linux.

Senators compromise on juvenile sentence bill
LINCOLN – Juveniles convicted of Class 1A felonies would face a 40-year minimum prison sentence under a compromise Nebraska lawmakers agreed to Tuesday after nearly eight hours of debate.Sen. Brad Ashford of Omaha introduced a bill (LB44), along with a committee amendment (AM151), that would have made the minimum sentence 30 years and the maximum sentence life without parole.Sen. Tom Carlson of Holdrege proposed the amendment (FA55) that would change it to a 40- year minimum, which would mean that juveniles committing these felonies would be imprisoned for at least 20 years before their first parole hearing.The amendment passed with a 30-3 vote."It's not easy on offenders; it is not giving them a break, necessarily," Ashford said. "It does clearly give hope to juveniles who have committed a serious offense."He added that he thought the 40 years to life sentence range was a responsible compromise for the bill, which would allow for rehabilitation of these juveniles.With the new sentence range in place, the committee amendment to the bill was adopted, replacing the original language of the bill. It passed on a 31-1 vote.Before adopting the 40-year sentence, senators rejected an amendment (AM967) that would have required a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years for juveniles who committed Class 1A felonies.This amendment failed on a 23-14 vote, needing at least 25 votes to pass.Sen. Beau McCoy of Omaha introduced the amendment, saying that a 25-year mandatory minimum was the highest minimum required for other juvenile crimes, such as secondary sexual assault."I think, members, that this speaks to the seriousness of these crimes," McCoy said.Supporters of the 25-year mandatory minimum sentence said that they thought it was more proportionate to the crime than the 30-year sentence, which would allow inmates to be eligible for parole after 15 years.Sen. John Harms of Scottsbluff said that 15 years was too short of an imprisonment, especially if the rehabilitation has not been proven to be effective for these juveniles.Sen. Bill Avery of Lincoln said, however, that it is unrealistic to think that inmates will be released on their first parole date because there is a series of requirements that they usually do not meet before that time. He referred to these requirements, such as counseling sessions, as "punching the ticket.""They are not going to be really eligible for release until that ticket is punched," Avery said, "and the system does not provide adequate opportunities for inmates to punch the ticket when they need to punch it."Other opponents of McCoy's amendment said that setting a mandatory minimum would limit the discretion of the courts."Trust your prosecutors. Trust your judges," Sen. Burke Harr of Omaha said.Ashford also emphasized the need for the change in juvenile sentencing to allow more opportunities for rehabilitation rather than more years in prison.

The Making of a Medical School
The history of medicine in Rhode Island and the history of the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University have been deeply interconnected for two centuries. They have never been more closely aligned than they are today, when the medical school is the heart of a major academic medical center embracing seven hospital affiliates in a network of connections and collaborations that extends throughout Rhode Island and beyond.
In 1811 Brown became the third university in the nation to offer academic medical education. In its brief 16-year history, this early program attracted some illustrious teaching physicians who went on to play roles on the national scene, participating in the founding of the American Medical Association and helping set the first national standards for medical education. Locally, they helped found and lead the Rhode Island Medical Society and worked with their colleagues to make Rhode Island Hospital a reality, a goal they achieved after decades of persistent advocacy. The most renowned of them, Dr. Usher Parsons, became Rhode Island Hospital's first president.
Public calls for reviving medical education at Brown began immediately after the school was closed in 1827, and they recurred over 136 years. The appeals came from ordinary Rhode Islanders, from physicians, from hospitals, and from political leaders, all of whom recognized the benefits a medical school would bring to the state – in the caliber and scope of health care, in the number and expertise of physicians, in the growth of hospital programs and technologies, and in the local economy.
The Mid-20th Century
In 1963, the calls were answered; the first steps were taken to remove Rhode Island from the small roster of states without a medical school. Momentum was provided by funding from the state and federal governments and from private foundations, as well as from the University. Dr. Pierre Galletti, the University's first dean of biology and medicine, Dr. Milton Hamolsky, chief of medicine at Rhode Island Hospital, and Professor of Biology J. Walter Wilson were among the prime movers in the creation of the Master of Medical Science program.
Although initially a continuum of four years of undergraduate study and just two of graduate study in basic science, the program sparked immediate growth in the Brown faculty and in the staffs of collaborating hospitals, as joint appointments and new training programs were created.
By 1969, when the first Master of Medical Science class graduated, the program was already changing the landscape of medicine in the state: accelerating the delivery of new techniques and technologies to the patient bedside, attracting more and better-qualified residents to Rhode Island's hospitals, encouraging more young doctors to practice in the state, and stimulating more Rhode Island students (who had been the most poorly represented in the nation in medical schools) to study medicine.
The hospitals and the community needed more, and soon a four-year medical program developed under the leadership of Dr. Stanley Aronson, founding dean of medicine, Dr. David Greer, associate and later second dean, and a cohort of medical students and faculty committed to a novel re-imagining of medical education. Together, they designed a program to prepare physicians committed to excellence in patient care and guided by humanistic values – the foundation on which the Warren Alpert Medical School of today is built.
The full medical degree program was launched in 1972, bringing with it clinical clerkships at seven affiliated hospitals and an infusion of new specialists, new laboratories, new research programs, and new clinical services.
In the 35 years since the first MD class graduated in 1975, Brown's medical school has expanded its faculty and programs and class size; residencies and specialties and technologies have proliferated; partnerships have evolved and deepened; and research initiatives have burgeoned.
The Modern Era
Today, Brown's Division of Biology and Medicine – composed of the Warren Alpert Medical School and the Program in Biology – is home to numerous centers of excellence in biomedical research and clinical care. In 2013, research conducted by faculty in the division and the clinical departments of the medical school attracted $280 million in external funding.
A world-class campus-based and hospital-based faculty, totaling almost 1000 members, teaches in five basic science departments and fourteen clinical departments. They staff 25 residency programs in partner hospitals, among which Rhode Island Hospital, the school's first clinical site, is the principal teaching affiliate. Training opportunities are amplified by a large network of Rhode Island physicians who serve as voluntary clinical faculty.
The Warren Alpert Medical School attracts a highly diverse body of students from throughout the United States and abroad through two major routes: the Program in Liberal Medical Education, an eight-year continuum of undergraduate and medical studies; and the standard route of admission, open to applicants from outside the Brown community. These students are among the best prepared and most talented in the nation. They collaborate with faculty in an educational experience that is grounded in an innovative competency-based curriculum, enriched by a vigorous research enterprise, and shaped by the commitment to humanistic medicine that has been the school's hallmark for four decades.
The new home of the Warren Alpert Medical School, the first building in its history dedicated to housing the core facilities for academic medicine under one roof, opened its doors in August 2011. Among its immediate effects was the prospect of admitting more medical students – increasing class size by 20 percent, to 120 – and introducing new academic programs. The Medical Education Building represents a leap forward in Rhode Island's growth as a major center for biotechnology and medicine, a development that Brown's research enterprise has helped generate. It also signals a period of accelerated growth in the history of a medical school begun by pioneers and innovators and stimulated by the needs and wishes of its community.
The Warren Alpert Medical School has evolved into one of the best medical schools in the country, with a vigorous and growing research community, and outstanding clinical care. Its principal mission – to train excellent physicians equipped to improve the health of individuals and communities – is inseparable from its commitment to create an academic medical enterprise of the first rank in Rhode Island.

Soaking In Some Great Rods and Customs at the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals in Indianapolis
One of these years we're going to remember to bring a poncho to this show. Year after year, raindrops follow the cars onto the grounds of Indianapolis Raceway Park. It's part of the tradition at the Goodguys Hot Rod Nats, I guess, and the typical mid-June heartland weather never seems to dowse the enthusiasm of the participants or the quality of the hot rods and custom cars. Even though the rain prevented any passes down the dragstrip on Saturday and Sunday, the place stayed packed all weekend long.
This was the 18th year for the Hot Rod Nats, making it one of Goodguys longest running events, drawing something like 5,000 vehicles from from all over the country, and a few from Canada. Goodguys lets in any '72 and earlier iron. Rods, customs, and classic trucks mingled with musclecars, street machines and pickups. High-dollar pro-built beauties mixed it up with high-mileage homebuilt jobs. High-tech national show winners rolled in alongside traditionally-styled retro rides.
Speaking of traditional, they really know how to do it in Indy, especially when it comes to paint. There was metalflake and black suede in abundance, dressed up with our favorite graphics-flames, scallops, and low-key 'striping. Even a lot of the high-tech cars had one eye on traditional styling, and blending up to date technology with old-time style may end up as the definitive look of this decade. Take a look at some of our our Top 10 picks to see what we're talking about.

I am not much a breakfast person, I mean, I love breakfast, but growing up in Malaysia, breakfast means nasi lemak, prawn noodles, mee siam, or other street food.
Even though I have been in the US for almost 15 years, I haven't quite acquired the habit of having cereal, bacon, or scrambled eggs for breakfast. So, I often skip breakfast, which is totally not healthy for me.
Recently, I have started to incorporate healthy breakfast into my daily routine—milk, toast, muffins, and fresh fruits. I even made some French toast. Yesterday, LK got me a box of fresh and sweet strawberries and I made some of them into this beautiful and tasty strawberry jam.
Making strawberry jam is really quite easy and you need only a few ingredients, but the end result is so much better than the bottled ones you get at stores. Everything is just better when you make it from scratch.
Here is my strawberry jam recipe for your reference.

Environmental and social action groups were making a last-ditch effort to derail the 2008 farm bill conference report as the House of Representatives and the Senate prepared to debate and vote on the measure.
But even as the Environmental Working Group, Environmental Defense Fund and the Center for Rural Affairs attacked the conference report's authors for "missing an opportunity to reduce farm subsidies," a coalition of more than 500 farm organizations were calling on House members and senators to support the legislation.
"We urge Congress to vote against this farm bill, and we encourage President Bush to veto it," said Chuck Hassebrook, executive director of the Nebraska-based Center for Rural Affairs, a nonprofit group that said it works to strengthen small businesses, family farms and communities.
"This farm bill commits the federal government to subsidizing the destruction of family farming for another five years, and it invests little in the future of rural communities," he said, accusing Congress of "breaking faith" with rural America.
Meanwhile, leaders of a coalition of 557 organizations were urging their members to contact their congressmen and ask to pass a "veto-proof" conference report.
"The bipartisan farm bill package strikes a key balance," said American Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman. "The bill continues to provide a basic, no frills safety net for America's farmers and it increases support for hungry Americans and the environment."
Stallman and other farm organization leaders said they were disappointed that President Bush continues to indicate he will veto the bill, the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008.
"This bill has broad national benefits, reform in farm programs and is fully paid for via offsets that everyone agrees are acceptable," said Stallman. "This carefully crafted legislation will give America's farmers and ranchers a basic package of support that will allow them to continue serving as the world's major food producers."
"The farm bill conference report addresses a number of challenges we face as a nation," said National Farmers Union President Tom Buis. "The bill benefits rural communities, urban communities and everyone in between with record increases in nutrition, conservation, specialty crop, rural development and renewable energy programs."
The House was scheduled to debate and vote on the farm bill conference report today and the Senate tomorrow. The House needs 290 votes to override the threatened presidential veto while the Senate will require 67 votes.
Buis and other leaders said the 557 groups signing the letter they sent to members of Congress Monday represent not just traditional commodity groups, but specialty crop, conservation, nutrition, consumer and religious organizations across the country.
"This broad coalition sends a loud message to Congress and the president that America wants this farm bill passed and signed into law without further delay," said Buis. "We urge all members of Congress to support the farm bill when it comes time for a vote this week."
Hassebrook claims the bill reflects a "failure of leadership" by both Congress and the Bush administration to provide what it sees as reform of the farm subsidy system.
Leaders of the Environmental Working Group, the organization that posted the names of thousands of farmers and the payments they received, also criticized the White House for failing to mount an effort to sustain the threatened veto.
"Without a strong and visible White House push in the next three days, by the time the override vote is eventually taken, President Bush may already have lost the fight," said Ken Cook, the EWG president writing in the group's blog.
The Environmental Defense Fund criticized the farm bill conference report's authors for "increasing, rather than decreasing subsidies." The charge was refuted by Sen. Kent Conrad, a senior Senate Agriculture Committee member who has said the bill reduces commodity title spending by $1.7 billion.
"With crop prices and farm incomes at record levels, Congress missed a once-in-five-years opportunity to reduce farm subsidies," said Sara Hopper, an attorney for EDF. "Instead, Congress has increased support levels for some crops, added new crops to the subsidy roll, and failed to make any significant reduction in direct payments."

Grip Productions needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Grip Productions
We want to team with a creative genius to create a logo that inspires and ultimately reflects our insatiable appetite for powerful music.
Grip Productions is a newly launched corporation focused on musical production for the hip hop entertainment industry. Our production style is known for unparalleled quality – from the darkest, grittiest sound, to fast moving climaxing bars, to feel good sounds filled with rich instrumental/vocal samples, our sole purpose is to develop music with epic longevity and emotional presence.
The urban industry, and many other genres, have a taken a backseat to quality! The general public agrees that albums on average have 2 tracks worth listening to and this is where Grip comes in - we will evoke your emotions, touch your inner core, and make you feel inspired for the $12 you just spent on your favorite artist! Further, our music will extract the very best from our artists - we'll give you a listen and you'll feel proud to contribute to Grip Productions.
Our initial target market features elite hip hop entertainers. This includes artists such as Jay-Z, Ghostface Killah, Nas, Raekwon, Kanye West, Rakim, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane. These artists all have different styles and we feel that we produce a better product than they've currently experienced. Some have been dormant for some time, some experiencing suffering record sales, and thus our music will serve as the answer or their return to success. Others are trend setters, and again, Grip will serve as a complement to lengthen their string of success.
Our requirements are simple - a hard hitting, urban style logo that looks commercial, and has success written all over it. We want to look as though we've been around for years - the type of logo you'd be proud to wear on a t-shirt because it almost looks very fashionable. OK - that's enough fluff, lets get down to some ideas we've bounced around and we'd like incorporated. We'll leave the rest up to you - please include any concepts you want.
1) a hand gripping a steel mic so hard that the steel is slightly contorted or debris is flying from mic
2) a turntable image - to get an idea, look at the cross section of the Def Jam album cover
3) Grip Productions text
1) any faces

When the mldonkey package in debian/ubuntu does not work properly you may very well end up without any error messages in all log files. When you try to login as user mldonkey to start it manually, that won't work either, because it doesn't have a shell. So what to do?
It's actually quite straight forward: You supply a shell manually when changing to user mldonkey: sudo su mldonkey -s /bin/bash
Then you simply cd ~; mlnet
And it should print out some error message. For me it complained about downloads.ini.tmp being in the directory and exited.

from the given file
fname in text mode.
val from_file_bin :
string -> scanbuf
val from_function :
(unit -> char) -> scanbuf
Scanning.from_function f returns a scanning buffer with
the given function as its reading method.
When scanning needs one more character, the given function is called.
When the function has no more character to provide, it must signal
an end-of-input condition by raising the exception
val from_channel :
in_channel -> scanbuf
Scanning.from_channel inchan returns a scanning buffer which reads
one character at a time from the input channel
inchan, starting at the
current reading position.
val end_of_input :
scanbuf -> bool
Scanning.end_of_input scanbuf tests the end of input condition
of the given buffer.
val beginning_of_input :
scanbuf -> bool
Scanning.beginning_of_input scanbuf tests the beginning of input
condition of the given buffer.

This is great
Finally I'm going to the place where I wanna be in my life
Around all the people that I wanna be, this is great
This is a new world, this is based world
And I wanna say thank ya'll for coming around and just hanging out, you know
Because this is just beautiful man
We can appreciate being alive man, I'm happy
A new world is something we all want for our children
All the pride and motherfucking glory
All the peace and honor, based world understands that
We need love to survive
I'm not like other guys, keep clones and hypnotized
Traumatized by the life
Gotta teach em that it ain't a dream
I know the color of a flower
The same color as my soul, it's so lovely
Here in the world, watch us breathe turn daytime
You feel me?
Let em hate the new world
Because they fear happiness
Don't go corrupt to the love for bucks
One day man it won't be enough
So many questions to life
Would I answer it right?
The universe is bright
You keep checking all your lights
I'm gonna kiss the earth now
We all got a purpose
I'm a larva in the cocoon shirtless, waiting to form and transform
Far away, the sky grey
But you gotta make your day sunny, CB said that that's new money
No money could pay the world what you do for me
They say if the ruler got a pure heart
You'll never be in the dark
Keep the light when you fall
Don't worry bout me, I'll be back, two years and counting
Keep climbing these vines and mountains
Looking for a better place, that forever space, that new world
I would never instigate a hate or learn fake
Cause you're born great, you feel me?
You would see if you don't take
That new world, add it to this special
Let the next person go right away, you special
Don't forget I said that
I'm like a Rubik's Cube
Lil B locked in based world, the new world
Stay trappin based world, mine for the time
Can't lie, I'm ready to live, I'm ready to die
I gotta draw my eyes, I gotta live my life
This new world
It's a new world
This is a new world
Based world, based world, based world
Based world, based world
I said this a new world
This a new world
Lil B, yea, this a new world
Glassface, this is based world
Stay positive
It's a new world
It's a new world
It's a new world

Yesterday's iPhone 5 announcement brought a flurry of news, including the new reduced-size, reduced-pins, reduced-orientation-dependence Lightning connector. Lightning replaces the previous unbranded 30-pin connector, but in the process of losing a bunch of pins (down to 8), the port also lost a lot of possible functionality. At least out of the gate, that is.
Despite the lack of information on Apple's website, Apple has confirmed to The Verge that the all-digital Lightning connector will eventually regain HDMI-out and VGA-out thanks to new adapters, though they won't be available until "the coming months", which as any webOS user can tell you can be an interminably long time. Apple's Lightning-to-30-pin adapter doesn't support video out, only working to transfer power, USB data, and analog and USB audio.
With eight pins, the Lightning connector's options are fewer. Power takes two pins, USB takes two more pins, and analog audio takes at least two pins as well. But there's something that we've speculated about since the first leaking of the smaller port, and that's software switching. While the power pins on Lightning are likely hardwired, it's not hard to imagine that the other six pins are of the switchable type and can adapt to whatever's plugged into them to provide the appropriate signal (which would require additional authentication chips in the receiving device). Why not put this in the regular 'ole 30-pin adapter? Two problems: it'd be complicated and thus more expensive, and the current 30-pin connector is pretty dumb as far as communication is concerned, so the adapter wouldn't necessarily know what to tell the Lightning port on the matter of how to configure its software-switchable pins.
HDMI and VGA adapters are coming for the iPhone 5 and its Lightning connector. You won't have to rely on AirPlay, an Apple TV, and a wireless network if you don't want to. Eventually.

Leftover Corned Beef Soup with Sauerkraut and Tomatoes
But I also think that life is too short to give up something like Corned Beef on St. Patrick's Day, even if you're on a diet. I have it for a once-a-year treat, and don't feel the least bit guilty. And this soup has lots of vegetables in proportion to the amount of corned beef, making it a very diet-friendly way to use the leftovers.
Leftover Corned Beef Soup with Sauerkraut and Tomatoes
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups chopped onion)
1 T olive oil
1 T minced garlic
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
4 cups homemade chicken stock (or can use 2 cans chicken broth and a little water)
2 cups homemade beef stock (or can use 1 can beef broth and a little water)
2 cans (14.5 oz. each) petite diced tomatoes
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup chopped parsley (I used flat-leaf parsley)
2-3 large bay leaves
4 cups sauerkraut, drained but not rinsed (I prefer bottled or fresh sauerkraut over canned)
8 oz. leftover cooked corned beef, sliced 1/4 inch thick and then shredded apart into pieces
1 T brown sugar or sweetener of your choice
1 T balsamic vinegar
fresh ground black pepper to taste
grated Swiss cheese for serving (optional, but good)

I believe have written on here before about Bellas skin problem. After a thousand days on antibiotic and something like benadryl nothing was helping and it was just getting worse. The Vet took a culture and we found out she has MRSP (canine form of MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (another bacterial infection). She is on Zeniquin right now which is super expensive.
Anyone having experience with that?

Re: Bella has MRSA
My dog had MRSP too. It was only sensitive to Enrofloxacin and Vancomycin so we did the Enro ($$$) for 4 weeks (plus a million other meds) and thank goodness he did better. He was always an allergy dog but at a more manageable level. My advice would be to ask your vet about treating the underlying cause (probably allergic skin disease) and possibly about consulting with a vet dermatologist since skin stuff can be really tricky.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Land Rover has the reputation of being a rough-and-tumble automaker with vehicles that can take you anywhere. In recent years, it has also become a symbol of luxury.
Not that many Land Rover owners will find themselves in the middle of a rock crawl. But they could if they wanted to.
During our day-long drive with the all-new 2018 Range Rover Velar, we did, in fact, find ourselves in the middle of a rock crawl. And while the chassis didn't twist and bend to keep all four tires on the ground at all times, the mid-sized Velar did quite well.
That says a lot for a vehicle whose top-tier trim starts at about $90K.
We spent the majority of our time driving on highways and twisty mountain roads, which, frankly, is where most owners will take their Velar anyway.
We were mostly driving well-equipped versions of the Velar with the 380-horsepower V-6 engine. Our vehicle had features such as electronic air suspension, four-zone climate control, the off-road package and massaging front seats. So, the as-tested price of our primary test Velar was around $85K.
And we took it through dusty dirt trails filled with brambles and sharp rocks, past a line of Jeeps, the drivers of which thought we were all nuts (and said so as they passed).
But we weren't nuts at all, and the Velar took everything we threw at it in stride.
This newest off-road-capable SUV from Land Rover will be available with three different engine options: two turbocharged 4-cylinders -- one gas and one diesel -- and a supercharged V-6.
The 3.0-liter V-6 is incredibly smooth and has everything you want in the power department with 380 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. It accelerates quickly and effortlessly, which makes highway merges easy. The tradeoff is going to be fuel economy, as Land Rover estimates vehicles equipped with this engine will get 24 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in the city.
If fuel economy is a sticking point, the turbocharged 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine is a nice option. Land Rover estimates 27 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city. It delivers 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, which isn't quite as effortless as the V-6. But it's still really decent.
Die-hard diesel fans will appreciate the 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbo diesel. Though the horsepower rating is low at 180, the 317 pound-feet of low-end torque and fuel economy make it attractive for those who tow or do a lot of highway driving. Land Rover estimates 30 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg in the city.
Of the three engines, the 4-cylinder gasoline version has the best of all worlds with quiet acceleration and good fuel economy. While I liked the performance of the diesel, it wasn't as smooth or quiet as I hoped it would be.
The big story with the Velar, however, isn't necessarily how it drives. It's the technology. This new SUV introduces a lot of cool features I think (hope!) we'll see trickle through the rest of the Land Rover lineup soon.
My favorite tech feature has to be the sleek and svelte Touch-Pro Duo. This dueling touch-screen system is beautifully done with expansive 10-inch screens and stunning four-color graphics. The top screen will manage things such as navigation, phone functions and audio, while the bottom screen handles vehicle settings and climate controls.
I've seen other automakers try to implement a dual screen on the center stack, and it's never worked. Never. But Land Rover finally has the winning design. It makes the Velar look like a car of tomorrow rather than an old computer pieced together with spare parts.
The only complaint might come from the OCD folks among us: You will leave stubborn fingerprints on the sleek black screens.
Other notable tech features include 360-degree cameras, an air suspension system that is standard on the V-6 models, pop-out exterior door handles, magic dials that change functionality depending on the touch screen controls, a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 8 devices and a premium Meridian 3D surround sound system.
That doesn't even touch on the safety equipment that is available in the Velar, which includes automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert and blind spot monitoring.
Velar falls under the Range Rover branch of the Land Rover family, which embodies refinement. Also under this umbrella you have the Evoque, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover. Velar is slotted between the Evoque and Sport, with price overlap on both of those models.
The Velar trims include:
While we were able to spend time with each engine, we weren't able to see any of the base trims. So, it's hard to speak about interior quality as you head toward the base price.
We were, however, able to check out the new Kvadrat cloth interior, which is a premium option for those who can't condone or don't want leather. I actually liked these seats better than the leather – they felt more comfortable. And you don't miss out on any of the massaging, heating, cooling options just because you opt out of leather – which is really nice.
Bottom line
My time with the Velar was brief, but first impressions are favorable. The design is minimalist and sleek. The gauges and controls are intuitive and easy to use – especially since the Touch-Pro duo includes a couple of magic dials and a volume knob.
Ride and handling is more on the luxury side of the spectrum –as you would expect from a midsized Range Rover. But if you find yourself in a snowy, rocky, off-road situation, Velar is up to the challenge.
I am a little bit curious about the $40K price gap between the entry and top-tier trims, and I would love to get my hands on one of those base models.
But, overall, I think Velar is poised to be a new shining star on the Range Rover family tree.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Local wood processor, Hofeling Enterprises, has given the City a late holiday present by offering free wood chipping for the holiday that the City collected at seven recycling sites. City Recycling Coordinator Gene Hanlon said Scott Hofeling offered to grind the trees as a community service, and his offer will save the City close to $2,500 in grinding expenses.
"We thought we could save the City a little money by grinding the trees, and we have a use for the mulch that the public doesn't pick up at our operation," Hofeling said .
Hofeling will grind the trees at each collection site the week of January 19th. The mulch will then be taken to the Hofeling processing center at 2200 South Folsom Court. Residents can pick up the free mulch at that facility from January 26 through February 28.
