I realize that most revamps are not allowed to change anything but graphics. However, when talking with RockSoild I explained to him that 4-way corners are not liked very much in the foundry. We talked and he agreed that if the foundry thinks that 4-ways are bad for gameplay, then we could change them. I was just taking preventative measures since historically those 4-ways have been taken out of newer maps.dominationnation wrote:can you change borders like that? I thought that lack said no to that because he didnt want any borders to have to change for someone in the middle of the game. Other than that it looks great!
Here is the old mapcairnswk wrote:WM and RockSolid...congrats on this official revamp. Smile
The map does look great, but i am concerned about the colours being TOO bright...a common cause for "eye distress". Can they be dulled a little without altering them too much?
Sorry. I was just looking for things to do and since I was already redoing the Circus Maximus, RockSolid asked if I wanted to do the Montreal map too. I was under the impression that you had stopped and it was free game. Believe me, if I knew you were still doing it, I would not have spent over a week making 5 drafts with RockSolid over email.johloh wrote:yeah ive been busy the last few weeks...
would have atleast been considerate for someone to inform me that I was being taken off of working on an project...
gl with the map...
I agree with you hulmey. Here is what the original author had to say in the other post.hulmey wrote:Shouldnt map makers be given equal chance to RE-Vamp maps and at least people can offically apply to these maps...
The map foundry is not just one map and i think the community should be given a chance to re - vamp maps. This is very unfair.
This is not a dig at you Widow but we were told every1 would be apply to have a try at Re-Vamping
rocksolid wrote:Haven't been around these parts in almost a year, so I'm a little out of touch with all this...
Hmm...an unfortunate miscommunication, from the looks of it. Johloh sent me his last draft a donkey's age ago, and when I replied voicing a lot of objections I had to elements of it, he didn't respond - that was about a month ago. I figured he was fed up with my requests for changes, and I assumed he abandoned the map. I mentioned this to Keyogi, which is how WidowMakers got involved, who had done excellent work on my other map (Circus Maximus).
Since then, WM's done some great work on Montreal, and I'm very happy with his version. Not to cast aspersions on Johloh's efforts, but I feel that WM's is far closer to being a revamp of the original map; Johloh's is a recasting (in the mould of San Francisco) rather than a revamping. WM's also gone to great pains to pay attention to detail (his borders follow the actual city borders, etc). At least half of the territory borders in Johloh's version need to be redrawn to be true to life.
There are still a couple of points where WM and I disagree - I wanted to keep the gameplay the same, while he wanted the intersecting borders to be less ambiguous - but that is material for a foundry thread, as I figured his opinion would be more popular than mine on that issue. But as far as which version I'd like to see go forward, I'm in favour of WM's.
hulmey wrote:As far as im concerned im not backing you or joholo to do this map. My concern is that you now done 2 RE-Vamps out of 3 and that the whole foundry should be able to have a go.
Not only that the other map was also done by a moderator and my question again is let other map authors ahve a go.
You have outstanding talent and determination WM, no doubt about it but cant we see other map makers have a go at RE-vamping pls.

If you read what rock solid wrote which WM quoted you will see that this is not the case.DiM wrote:tricky situation where i think the blame rests on the shoulders of the mods.
You are very quick to blame anything that goes wrong on the mods DiM
but if you read what RS wrote I think you'll find that if anyone is to blame it is Johloh. RS wasnt happy, Johloh never replied.
When it comes down to it, the final say does really come down to rock solid. If he wants WM to continue instead of Johloh Its not really the foundries place to complain. After all, rock solid can pull the pin on the revamp and not let anyone touch it.
no way, that just means EVEN MORE wasted time.Cant there just be two seperate threads, so that after both are compeletly FINISHED, we can vote.

What's the real reason you don't go to the movies?

I stopped going to the movies because of:
Young people
Old people
loud people
tall people
fat people
ignorant people
cell phone people
talkative people
stupid people
human people
I stopped going for three years. I went to one movie two years ago and it was worse. Maybe I live near a bad theater. It's the only multiplex with digital everything and stadium seating for like 20 miles in any direction. Whatever the problem is...I hate it and refuse to spend a small fortune to be made miserable.
HBO, Netflix, DVDs and Usenet fill the void just fine.
- Joseph said...
I LOVE going to the movies. The only reason I don't go more often is the cost (and perhaps to some extent the limited selection available).
- Dave said...
The Wall St. Journal's movie critic Joe Morgenstern notes that kids who go to the movies just IM each other on their sidekicks or cell phones, anyway.
I don'thin kthe issue is so much th einability to sit in front of a computer but rather to receive wireless signals.
- Jake said...
I stopped going to the movies because of all the reasons JimK listed plus:
Buying the DVD is cheaper when you consider all the costs of going to the movie. Watching the DVD at home gives me a better picture and better sound than the local theater.
- Ricardo said...
I concur with JimK, and I'd also add in the high prices of tickets and snacks ($3.25 for a pint of Dasani?), the annoying captive-audience advertisements that start off the show, and the blaring sound levels which often make it a physically "painful" experience. The Times article was interesting, although if it was intended to entice me back into megaplexes, I'm not certain that calling me a "fossil" and "geriatric" was the right way to go about it. My current "theater" is in my living room, and has the best selection of movies (thanks to my own collection, the public library down the street which stocks DVDs, and Blockbuster) in town, an ability to stop the action and go do something else for awhile, and a neverending supply of (almost) free snacks and beverages.
- TWM said...
I'm amazed anyone would pay anything for water, much less $3.25 for a pint. If you think movies are a ripoff, the bottled water industry is the king of ripoffs.
But that is getting off topic and I apologize. We only go to see the big blockbusters and we don't do that half as much as we used to.
Superman is a good example. We went, but were disappointed and I doubt we will be going back to see another one this summer.
- tiggeril said...
I don't go to movies because:
a) Most recent movies suck.
b) I've seen chimpanzees that were more well-behaved than movie audiences.
c) My sofa at home is more comfy than movie seating, and smells better too.
- Jennifer said...
I don't go to movies, but I never really have. So perhaps they don't care about *my* demographic.
I can't sit still and watch a movie without doing something else like painting my toenails, balancing the checkbook, cross stitching, what have you.
- Melissa Clouthier said...
My husband I stopped going to movies because:
1. Most movies suck
2. The theaters are nasty
3. The cost is outrageous when you include babysitting.
4. I bought my hubby a cool flat screen that kicks butt and we can watch a movie from the comfort of our bed in heavenly bliss.
However. The Cinemark theaters here have added a theater that does not allow anyone under 18 and offers more off-beat, intelligent movies (mostly). It is clean. Still expensive, but quiet and enjoyable. We have actually made a point of going to see a movie a couple times this year after about three years at home.
- Melissa Clouthier said...
Oh, and one more thing:
I am sick to death of movies that assume the following: Americans are idiots, men are idiots, women are idiots, conservatives are idiots. There is such contempt for average people by Hollywood--Crash is a perfect example of nihilistic, elitist drivel--that I simply cannot stand the thought of giving them my hard earned dough. Plus, everytime I hear an actor open his big fat trap about some "important" issue I feel primal urges to smash them like bugs. The best I can do is withold money and hope they die from lack of oxygen.
- AFFA said...
DVDs have a pause button.
- Joseph said...
Wow. I had no idea how much people don't like the modern movie theater experience. I don't seem to be as sensitive to them as other people here, but even with impolite fellow moviegoers, I find something special in the theater experience that I just don't get from the nicest of home TV systems. The theater offers me much more of an escape from the world I'm used to and lets me experience the movie in a very different and all-encompassing way. I actually find going to the movie theater can be quick and effective way of lifting myself out of a slump.
- JSF said...
I stopped going to the movies a while ago because all the plots are the same and they keep on re-treading old TV that I liked and trying to sell them as new.
On another note: I deliver stuff for an ad agency here in Burbank and it seems that only Universal and Disney are open to people visiting (and delivering). Warner Brothers does NOT ALLOW the general public or vendors on their campus, neither does Dreamworks. I've been in Federal Buildings after 9/11, and they have more dealings with the public then Warner Brothers or Dreamworks.
- Finn Alexander Kristiansen said...
I love the movies here in Phoenix. They are clean, air conditioned, good sight lines with stadium seating, and you can always sneak in your own snacks, though I don't bother.
And the longer the film, and the more ads and previews, the more I like it. Even wish we had newsreels or cartoons before, as more appetizer is always cool, especially since I am paying $9 for the film alone.
I either try to see a film I really want to see, OR, make sure I am going along with people whose company I enjoy, so one or the other makes for a pleasant outing.
Cost is a factor of course, running about $17 if with guy friends, or $30 if I am picking up the tab with females. Add another $25 if we grab a bite after.
But doing that once or twice a month is not a big deal, and aside from the occasional bad parent bringing a 4 year old into a movie, or a cell accidentally going off, it's not too bad. Ours is an AMC 30 multiplex.
(Then too, I try to avoid Friday and Saturdays between 5pm and 12, when everyone is there, including meandering hormonal teens).
- CB said...
I concur with all of the reasons given above, and add that there is [are?] a hundred years' worth of good movies available to watch at home.
- Simon said...
My wife and I largely stopped going to movies because we both resent paying more for snacks than for tickets, but more than that, because it is just unbearably loud. For whatever reason, multiplexes really seem to think that they can make up for the deficient quality of their sound system if they crank it up to an ear-bleeding level. I actually had to leave Jarhead because I couldn't stand it any more, it was like being front row at a Metallica gig. When you're cringing at the volume during the dialogue scenes, imagine what the "blowing shit up" scenes are going to be like. There are those who say "if it's too loud, you're too old"; well, I'm 27, and the last time I checked that wasn't so very decrepit, so I say: "no, fuck you, it's too damn loud."

Remember Tom Peters, co-author of "In Search of Excellence"? He has a blog, tompeters.com. One of his points to marketers is that baby boomers will always be the biggest market segment until they die. He calls us boomer-geezers. We way outnumber young adults. I predict a series of articles by young reporters amazed that baby boomers have lives and spend money.

You know what James Cameron's solution is? 3-D.
James Cameron is a genius, but like all geniuses he has finally gone mad.
(For the record: His super-duper 3-D sci-fi epic will be a smash.)
I know a lot of people don't think the communal experience of seeing a movie in the dark on a big screen is a big deal, but it is. It will be a sad day when it is gone. And make no mistake: The day is fast approaching.
But maybe I'm just being weepy. I mean, who out there mourns Vaudeville?
- Simon Kenton said...
I'm with Dr. Melissa. Too much of a reverence for money to want to line the pockets of people whose contempt I reciprocate. It's not a neat, balanced reciprocation, of course; I don't want money from people who loathe me, but they want mine. I realize this means I am stifling their free speech, and am willing to live with the stigma.
I'd add a couple of other points:
1) it's hard to find reviewers, either in print or among friends, that can be trusted.
2) there's an experience-pollution effect. When you're 20, you can watch Midnight Cowboy and wallow in it. Get enough life experience, and the idea of spending a couple of hours getting artifically depressed by a movie lacks appeal. Spend part of a morning trying to hold life in a heart-attack victim until the ambulance gets there, and it gets harder to suspend belief during movie death scenes.

In both high school and college I had the good fortune to live down the street from good, single-screen (or later 3-screen) theaters that showed foreign and independent American films. That's how I got into Woody Allen, Ang Lee, the Coen Brothers, etc. I don't go to the multiplex more than a couple of times per year.
I share the other commentors' complaints, but would add one more: the endless advertisements and previews and candy band-animations to which we are subjected before the feature. Really, who has the time to watch that crap? Sometimes, the actual film doesn't start until 20 minutes after the time for which it was scheduled. The worst offenders are the Regal Cinemas, which actually call their pre-feature projections "The Twenty," and advertise it as if it was worth watching in its own right. Be sure to get here on time, so you can catch The Twenty! Ugh, no thank you.
For those commenters who cannot find a reviewer they trust, I suggest The Onion's AV Club. Their critics have discerning taste, finely-tuned BS-detectors, and write tight prose. From time to time a little too snarky, but I'm rarely disappointed by a movie they recommend.
- Christy said...
Ah, but I never show up until at least 10 minutes after the start time at my Regals.
I see a fair number of movies. With lunch pals I see the latest romantic comedies the Friday afternoon they open. With more discerning friends I do the Sunday morning brunch at the arthouse downtown where they show movies that haven't opened yet with a discussion afterwards. That crowd is a mixture of college students and folks old enough to be their parents, no in between. And it is a very civilized crowd.
Some movies must be seen on the big screen. I mentioned in the rewatchable movies comments that watching Some Like it Hot was a totally different experience big screen. Who knows what else would be? And I made a point of seeing the LoTR trilogy at an old fashioned really big screen movie house.
I do go in spurts, however. After seeing every movie up for a major award for the 2005 Oscars, I didn't want to see another movie for months. I felt overwhelmed by the movies "everyone should see," to quote Ebert, as opposed by the movies I'd actually enjoy seeing.
Are movies made for the kind of people who make their children build houses for humanity every vacation and feed the poor every holiday and wouldn't dream of going to Disney World instead? Not that there is anything wrong with that.
And, demographicly, I am a woman a of a certain age.
- Unknown said...
I don't go to the movies.
I guess I'm not old then. Thank God.
- Rohan said...
I'm not entirely sure the article is saying that young people are not going to movies, though that seems to be what most of the responders are saying, and what the subtitle implies.
Rather, it is saying that people do not stop going to the theatre as they age.
After all, the population is not made up solely of young people. Why would you expect the movie audience to be only young people?
- Tibore said...
Ms. (Ha! Echos of the previous thread!) Seidelman's comment was merely a throwaway line in the analysis of why aren't there any "senior" targeted films. So I don't know if I'd put too much stock into a fear of being offline too long as a reason for not going to films, whether teenaged or adult. Most "addicts" I know can easily walk away from their connection for hours or days at a time.
At any rate, back to the topic: I can make a list like jimk has about why I don't go to movies all that often anymore, except mine'd be way longer than his. But, anything I'd list would be tolerable if there was something special up on that screen. Which made me realize something: I don't go to movies much nowadays because they're simply not all that special anymore. I remember when the original Star Wars came out, and that was a huge deal. It was an event; it was special. Same with Jaws two years previous. Same with many other films I won't bother listing. The point is that there's simply no reason to trudge to the theater anymore, save for those special occasions. Who cares about seeing, say for example, Sideways in the theater? What about that movie demands a big screen, immersive sound system, and a huge audience to appreciate it with? It may be a good, even great movie (I haven't seen it myself yet), but what about that particular flick lends itself to the big screen? I bet I'd like or hate it regardless of whether I'd see it in the theaters or on my own home system.
And that holds true for so many films nowadays. It's the crazy circuses that absolutely need a big screen to be truly appreciated - Return of the Sith comes to mind; so do any of the superhero movies (Spiderman, X-Men, the upcoming Superman, etc.). I love those films, as I love smaller, quieter, less spectacular films like City of God, Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy, Boondock Saints (okay, that one's not so quiet :) ), Gun Shy, yadda yadda, but which of those films need such a grand experience to be appreciated? None of them, really. Darth Vader is so spectacularly effective in the grandeur of the big screen with a huge audience reacting to him, but Oliver Platt doesn't need that much acreage to get his Gun Shy character Fulvio Nesstra across. It's just fine on DVD. And I don't need dozens of people around to appreciate the effect.
So why don't I get out to movies much anymore? Well, bottom line is that there's not a whole lot of reason to anymore. Many work fine on the small screen at home. And few nowadays are so special you need 200 other viewers around you to really enjoy it.

I've always loved movies.
When I was a kid, my parents (who were the last ones on our block to get anything) had one grainy, black and white TV (and don't even think about cable so it had three channels.) Then they spent most of the time watching the news whenever it was on, so I got to enjoy going to movies because the picture was better, and it was in color.
- Richard said...
I stopped going to movies because they don't make movies for a 44-year-old, white, heterosexual male like me anymore. They just plain quit doing them. End of story.
- Thorley Winston said...
I wouldn't say that I've entirely quit going to the movies. The last movie I saw in the theater was "V for Vendetta" and the last one before that was "The Return of the King." The reason that I don't see more movies is:
1) Cost. Tickets are about $7 plus concessions plus the cost of gasoline. I have a rather nice DVD collection and my local public library has many movies that I can check out for free (well actually I've already paid for them with my tax dollars). I don't even rent movies anymore because I've gotten so good at finding bargains for gently used items.
2) Convenience. I can watch a movie at home at any hour of the day or night based on my own personal schedule rather than having to work my schedule around when a theater decides to show it. Also my living room is quite a bit more comfortable than any theater I've been in plus my refrigerator and pantry offer a much better selection of snacks.
3) Selection. I wouldn't go so far as to say that all of the new movies are terrible but I've found it increasingly difficult to find something interesting to watch. Many of the plots seem dumb or if there is one that I am interested in seeing, it's usually gone in a couple of weeks before I can make plans to see it.

United Nations researchers just published a sweeping study on the roots of sexual violence, spanning six countries and two years. The survey, which they say represents the world's largest scientific project into the subject so far, aimed to investigate the "under-researched" area of male-perpetrated rape. On average, about one in four men included in the study said they had raped someone at some point in their lives. One in ten had raped someone who wasn't their romantic partner.
The UN study surveyed over 10,000 men from Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka. The researchers caution that some regional attitudes about sexuality in Southeastern Asia may contribute to the results that they gathered across those six countries. Still, though, there are some big takeaways from their findings. Here's what the new research can tell us about the landscape of sexual violence as a whole:
Many people have the wrong idea about what "rape" actually is. The researchers intentionally didn't use the word "rape" in any of their questionnaires about Asian men's sexual histories. Instead, they asked men whether they had ever "forced a woman who was not your wife or girlfriend at the time to have sex," or if they had ever "had sex with a woman who was too drunk or drugged to indicate whether she wanted it." That likely helped researchers gather more accurate information about the nonconsensual sexual acts that men had engaged in. Since many people don't learn the lines of consent, many sexually active adults may not understand when they're violating someone else — and they may not believe they have actually raped someone. "Rape doesn't just involve someone with a gun to a woman's head," Michele Decker, a public health professor who co-wrote the commentary that accompanied the new study, pointed out to CBS News. "People tend to think of rape as something someone else would do."
Rape occurs within marriages, too. Along those lines, many people think about rape as something that occurs between strangers, when women are accosted by criminals in dark alleyways. But that's not the reality of sexual assault. The UN survey found that rape between married partners was more prevalent than rape among people who were not in a romantic relationship. Studies conducted within the United States have revealed similar results about the prevalence of intimate partner violence in this country. When it comes to educating people about sexual assault, it's important to emphasize that consent never carries over — that is, even when it comes to spouses who have had consensual sex many times before, neither of them have consented to every instance of sexual contact their partner may demand in the future.
Repeat offenses are very high among rapists. Nearly half of the respondents who said they had raped at least once went on to rape multiple victims. Nearly 23 percent said they had raped two to three people, 12 percent say they had raped four to ten people, and about 4 percent said they had raped more than ten people. Here in the United States, some research has drawn similar conclusions about repeat rapists at the college level. A Harvard University study found that the young men who commit a rape in college are likely to become serial offenders — and many of them do, since lenient sexual assault policies on college campuses often allow them to evade punishment.
Unhealthy attitudes about sexuality take root at a young age. More than half of the study's respondents who admitted they had violated someone's consent were teenagers when they first raped someone. Most sexual crimes recorded in the study occurred when men were between the ages of 15 and 19. The authors point out this finding "reinforces the need for early rape prevention." Sexual violence prevention advocates in the U.S. say that this type of education can begin with comprehensive sex ed. Teaching kids about the bodies from an early age helps instill a sense of self-confidence and ownership in them. Then, they're more likely to avoid violating another person's consent, or be more willing to speak up when someone tries to violate theirs.
Men rape because they have been taught that they have a right to claim women's bodies. One of the fundamental concepts at the heart of "rape culture" is the idea that rape is inevitable, men can't help themselves, and women must therefore work to protect themselves against it. Within the context of rape culture, the idea that men are entitled to sexual experiences is deeply entrenched. The UN researchers found that this attitude is pervasive among the rapists they surveyed. Among the men who acknowledged they had sexually assaulted someone else, more than 70 percent of them said they did it because of "sexual entitlement." Forty percent said they were angry or wanted to punish the woman. About half of the men said they did not feel guilty.
Rape typically goes unpunished in Southeast Asia. Just 23 percent of the men who said they had raped someone had actually been imprisoned for their crimes. That trend holds true outside of the Southeast Asian countries that were included in the study. The Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) estimates that, after factoring in the extremely high number of rape cases that go unreported to the police, about three percent of U.S. rapists end up serving jail time. This has been a particularly contentious issue on college campuses lately, where many rapists receive extremely light punishments, like being assigned essays and placed on social probation, instead of being expelled.
"It's clear violence against women is far more widespread in the general population than we thought," Rachel Jewkes, a member of South Africa's Medical Research Council and the leader of the new study, said in a statement about her results. Previous research that Jewkes also oversaw found that one in three women worldwide has experienced some type of intimate partner violence, prompting the World Heath Organization to declare it an "epidemic" global health problem.
Jewkes and her fellow researchers hope that their new study — one of the first to focus on male perpetrators of sexual assault, rather than female victims — will help encourage concrete policy changes to reverse some of the dynamics that contribute to rape culture. "Prevention of rape is essential," they conclude. "Interventions must focus on childhood and adolescence, and address culturally rooted male gender socialization and power relations, abuse in childhood, and poverty."

Look! It's the Amazing Talking Head. No arms, no legs, no body! Just a mouth that never stops. It rants, it raves. It sneers, it smirks. It babbles, it badgers and it never, ever shuts up. Astonishing, daunting, frightening.
Gaze in wonder at the Bulimic Woman. She stuffs herself with food; she throws up; she stuffs herself with more food; she throws up. Gut-wrenching! Surprising! Phenomenal!
Gasp at the decrepitude of the Weak Man! He's not strong; he's feeble. Watch him fail to do a single chin-up. He cannot lift a Volkswagen on his back, much less an anvil with his tongue. Until he removes his wristwatch, he can barely lift his arm. Incredible! Wondrous!

Marvel at the Incredible Shrinking Candidates! Watch middle-aged politicians rail at each other and grow smaller with each lie and distortion. Tiny men and women leap about and vie for your attention. Egomaniacs the size of mice! Amazing! Not to be believed!
Listen to the Dauntless Telemarketing Parrots! Exotic tropical birds repeat the same dinnertime sales messages over and over again. Insensible to insult or rudeness, no amount of cursing or threatened violence will discourage them. Disturbing! Mesmerizing!

By Father Pete Kohler, M.S., CFCA preacher
CFCA's mission is to walk with the poor and marginalized of the world Ö grounded in the Gospel Ö to create a worldwide community of compassion and service.
I have been making CFCA presentations since late 1994, and I have found it a truly fulfilling ministry. But recently I had an experience that reconfirmed the transforming power of this apostolate.
I had the opportunity to go to El Salvador and Honduras for a CFCA mission awareness trip. Naturally, there is much I could recount, but I would like to share just one experience.
We visited a small community in Santa Ana, El Salvador. Ten years ago, you would have seen a group of people living and eking out their subsistence in the city garbage dump. It was a lawless place, with each family guarding their small claim literally with their lives. Picture Danteís Inferno: no clean water, no electricity, no schools, no paved roads, no medical assistance, but most of all, no hope.
Beginning seven years ago, CFCA had the challenge of gaining these peopleís trust. Today, the transformation is remarkable. The people have moved from houses of cardboard and strips of plastic to solid adobe houses, and some now have homes of cinder block with sheet-metal roofing. Clean running water and electricity are available.
Parents and grandparents, who cannot read nor write, are proud of their children who are able to attend school. Many of these children are now able to continue to high school and at least three of the young people are attending the university. But the biggest change is the conversion of hearts. Not only are families talking to one another, but they are working together, forming a truly committed community. You cannot help being struck by the pride and dignity etched in the faces of these people.

From a meal in 2008
This was one of the few restaurants that required re-confirmation one week in advance. We certainly did not know why. There were only 3 tables of 2 all night including ours.
The Chef, Valere Diochet, had been sous-chef for Antoine Westermann at Buerehiesel for 13 years … a venerable Strasbourg 3 Star that has gone downhill and now has 1 star. Diochet takes great pride in using only the freshest products. His speciality is fish and shellfish. His product is definitely good, but his execution leaves a lot to be desired.
1. Some sort of vegetable broth with ginger–boring!!!
2. A rectangular cracker with a thin line of some sort of fish puree.
1st course:
John- 4 thick slices of cold smoked salmon with a small salad of celeriac–boring, boring!!!
me–4 raw slices of scallops on a bed of carrot puree and hazelnuts. This had zero flavor. I have had over 12 scallop preparations on this trip and this ranks as the worse.
2nd course:
John-pan seared rouget with potatoes and chorizo–not bad, the chorizo and rouget combo was interesting.
me–a thick slab of bar with shallots, ratte potatoes, garlic and chestnuts. The skin on the bar was mushy and the fish tasteless. I did like the potatoes.
Mignardises – don't have a clue
2004 Meursault Les Clous Domaine Javiller–we were sick of Alsatian wine by this point, back to good Burgundy, a nice treat.
A chef and his wife doing their thing and trying we are sure, but the execution is very poor. There was nothing to recommend this moderately expensive little restaurant.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Canisius College senior Harold Washington scored a game-high 23 points, with 18 coming in the game's final 20 minutes, and fellow senior Isaac Sosa added 14 points as the host Golden Griffins defeated long-time rival St. Bonaventure 72-69 Saturday afternoon in front of a sold-out Koessler Athletic Center. The win improves Canisius to 2-0, the program's first 2-0 start since 2000-01, while the Bonnies slipped to 2-1 on the year with the loss.
For the game, Washington went 7-for-14 from the field, 3-for-3 from 3-point land and 6-for-8 from the foul line, making two key free-throws with four seconds left on the clock to put the Blue and Gold up 72-69. St. Bonaventure had a chance to tie the contest and send it into overtime, but St. Bonaventure guard Matthew Wright's 3-point attempt from the right wing hit the back-iron as the horn sounded and Canisius left the floor with the victory.
"This was a hard-fought game," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "I knew the intensity was going to be high because I coached in the Atlantic 10 for a number of years and I've coached against St. Bonaventure for the past 11 years. [St. Bonaventure is] a good team. They have a lot of experience. I told our players we have an opportunity here. I told them we had to make shots and rebound the basketball. We never put our heads down and we played to win this game today."
The Bonnies led by seven points at 64-57 with 7:03 left to play when senior Chris Johnson knocked down a 3-pointer for three of his team-high 19 points. Washington scored a lay-up on Canisius' next possession to cut the Bonnies' lead to 64-59, but St. Bonaventure pushed its cushion to six at 65-59 when Wright made one of two free-throws with 6:23 left on the clock. Washington cut that lead in half with a 3-pointer off an assist from junior Billy Baron to make the score 65-62 with 6:02 left.
The game would go back-and-forth for the next three-plus minutes before junior Chris Manhertz hit a jumper in the paint with 2:32 left on the clock to make the score 65-64 in favor of the Bonnies. Canisius took the lead with 1:31 left on a Washington lay-up, but St. Bonaventure took the lead right back 11 seconds later when senior Demitrius Conger hit two charity tosses to give the Bonnies a 67-66 advantage. Out of a 30-second St. Bonaventure timeout, Canisius came down the floor and Manhertz was up to the task again, as he tipped in an offensive rebound off a missed shot with 53 seconds remaining to make the score 68-67 in favor of the Blue and Gold. After a missed 3-point shot by the Bonnies, Sosa was fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass, and he promptly nailed two free throws with 17 seconds left to give Canisius a 70-67 lead. Johnson tipped one in for the Bonnies with six seconds left to make it 70-69 in favor of the Griffs, but with no timeouts left, St. Bonaventure was forced to foul Washington, who walked to the line and made two shots to seal the win.
St. Bonaventure led by five at the halftime break with the score reading 37-32 after the Bonnies shot 58.3 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from long range in the game's first 20 minutes, while the Griffs shot 37 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from 3-point land. In the opening moments of the second half, the Bonnies were firing on all cylinders offensively, as the team shot 71.4 percent from the field and hit on three of four shots from behind the arc in the first 12:10 of the second stanza. But down the stretch, the Griffs' defense tightened and St. Bonaventure went cold from the field, as the Bonnies made just one of their last 14 field goal attempts.
Baron ended the game with nine points and five assists for the Griffs, which ended the day shooting 42.6 percent from the field, 38.1 percent from 3-point range and 85.7 percent from the foul line. Manhertz added eight points to the effort, with six of those coming in the second half, and junior Jordan Heath chipped in five points and five rebounds in 22 minutes. St. Bonaventure had four players in double figures, led by Johnson, who matched a career-high with his 19 points. Conger and Eric Mosely added 14 points each for St. Bonaventure, which out rebounded the Griffs by a 31-27 count. Senior forward Marquise Simmons led all players with his game-high eight boards for the Bonnies.
Canisius will close out its three-game, season-opening homestand on Tuesday, Nov. 20, when the Griffs play host to cross-town rival Buffalo at 8 p.m., in the Koessler Athletic Center.
Game Notes: This was the 161st all-time meeting between these two long-standing rivals, but it was just the fifth time St. Bonaventure played Canisius in the Koessler Athletic Center… St. Bonaventure now leads the series by a 97-64 count… This was the 54th time the Canisius-St. Bonaventure game was decided by five points or less… Canisius snapped a 20-game losing streak when trailing at the half… The last time the Griffs were down at intermission and came back to win was Feb. 27, 2011… Including the final two games of the 2011-12 season, Washington is the first Canisius player to score 20 or more points in four straight games since former Griff Darrell Barley had 20-plus points in four consecutive games from Dec. 2-9, 1995… Head coach Jim Baron is the first Canisius head coach to win his first two games as the Griffs' bench boss since John McCarthy won five-straight to open the 1974-75 campaign.

Connor is loving having all of the boxes around though. We literally played with a box for 20 minutes a couple of nights ago. Why do we even buy this kid toys anyway? I've never seen him have so much fun. I just had to share a video with you (first time uploading a video, so hopefully it works):
I love this boy, he's so entertaining.
Another highlight of my week was when I received the beautiful hand painted bag in the collage above from Lucy at Craftberry Bush! She's so talented, I wish I could paint like her. Or paint at all for that matter. It's so pretty I kind of don't want to use it because I'm afraid I'll get it dirty or something :)

Standards Main Page
Executive Summary
Thematic Strands
NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES (NCSS) first published national curriculum standards in 1994. Since then, the social studies standards have been widely and successfully used as a framework for teachers, schools, districts, states, and other nations as a tool for curriculum alignment and development. However, much has changed in the world and in education since these curriculum standards were published. This revision aims to provide a framework for teaching, learning, and assessment in social studies that includes a sharper articulation of curriculum objectives, and reflects greater consistency across the different sections of the document. It incorporates current research and suggestions for improvement from many experienced practitioners. These revised standards reflect a desire to continue and build upon the expectations established in the original standards for effective social studies in the grades from pre-K through 12.
The approach originally taken in these curriculum standards has been well received in the United States and internationally; therefore, while the document has been revised and updated, it retains the same organization around major themes basic to social studies learning. As in the original document, the framework moves beyond any single approach to teaching and learning and promotes much more than the transmission of knowledge alone. These updated standards retain the central emphasis of the original document on supporting students to become active participants in the learning process.
What Is Social Studies and Why Is It Important?
National Council for the Social Studies, the largest professional association for social studies educators in the world, defines social studies as:
…the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. Within the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world.1
The aim of social studies is the promotion of civic competence—the knowledge, intellectual processes, and democratic dispositions required of students to be active and engaged participants in public life. Although civic competence is not the only responsibility of social studies nor is it exclusive to the field, it is more central to social studies than to any other subject area in schools. By making civic competence a central aim, NCSS has long recognized the importance of educating students who are committed to the ideas and values of democracy. Civic competence rests on this commitment to democratic values, and requires the abilities to use knowledge about one's community, nation, and world; apply inquiry processes; and employ skills of data collection and analysis, collaboration, decision-making, and problem-solving. Young people who are knowledgeable, skillful, and committed to democracy are necessary to sustaining and improving our democratic way of life, and participating as members of a global community.
The civic mission of social studies demands the inclusion of all students—addressing cultural, linguistic, and learning diversity that includes similarities and differences based on race, ethnicity, language, religion, gender, sexual orientation, exceptional learning needs, and other educationally and personally significant characteristics of learners. Diversity among learners embodies the democratic goal of embracing pluralism to make social studies classrooms laboratories of democracy.
In democratic classrooms and nations, deep understanding of civic issues—such as immigration, economic problems, and foreign policy—involves several disciplines. Social studies marshals the disciplines to this civic task in various forms. These important issues can be taught in one class, often designated "social studies," that integrates two or more disciplines. On the other hand, issues can also be taught in separate discipline-based classes (e.g., history or geography). These standards are intended to be useful regardless of organizational or instructional approach (for example, a problem-solving approach, an approach centered on controversial issues, a discipline-based approach, or some combination of approaches). Specific decisions about curriculum organization are best made at the local level. To this end, the standards provide a framework for effective social studies within various curricular perspectives.
What is the Purpose of the National Curriculum Standards?
The NCSS curriculum standards provide a framework for professional deliberation and planning about what should occur in a social studies program in grades pre-K through 12. The framework provides ten themes that represent a way of organizing knowledge about the human experience in the world. The learning expectations, at early, middle, and high school levels, describe purposes, knowledge, and intellectual processes that students should exhibit in student products (both within and beyond classrooms) as the result of the social studies curriculum. These curriculum standards represent a holistic lens through which to view disciplinary content standards and state standards, as well as other curriculum planning documents. They provide the framework needed to educate students for the challenges of citizenship in a democracy.
The Ten Themes are organizing strands for social studies programs. The ten themes are:
The themes represent strands that should thread through a social studies program, from grades pre-K through 12, as appropriate at each level. While at some grades and for some courses, specific themes will be more dominant than others, all the themes are highly interrelated. To understand culture (Theme 1), for example, students also need to understand the theme of time, continuity, and change (Theme 2); the relationships between people, places, and environments (Theme 3); and the role of civic ideals and practices (Theme 10). To understand power, authority, and governance (Theme 6), students need to understand different cultures (Theme 1); the relationships between people, places, and environments (Theme 3); and the interconnections among individuals, groups, and institutions (Theme 5). History is not confined to TIME, CONTINUITY, AND CHANGE (Theme 2) because historical knowledge contributes to the understanding of all the other themes; similarly, geographic skills and knowledge can be found in more than (Theme 3).
The thematic strands draw from all the social science disciplines and other related disciplines and fields of study to provide a framework for social studies curriculum design and development. The themes provide a basis from which social studies educators can more fully develop their programs by consulting the details of national content standards developed for history, geography, civics, economics, psychology, and other fields,2 as well as content standards developed by their states. Thus, the NCSS social studies curriculum standards serve as the organizing basis for any social studies program in grades pre-K through 12. Content standards for the disciplines, as well as other standards, such as those for instructional technology,3 provide additional detail for curriculum design and development.
The Learning Expectations provide illustrations of what students learn at each level in the social studies curriculum. The language of the Learning Expectations is aimed at teachers and seeks to capture the expectations of over-arching, long-range outcomes. At each level (early years, middle, and high school), the Learning Expectations present key questions for exploration related to each theme.* The Learning Expectations also provide illustrations of the types of purposes, knowledge, and intellectual processes that students should demonstrate in student products. The purposes identify the reasons why it is important to study each theme. Learners build knowledge as they work to integrate new information into existing cognitive constructs, and engage in processes that develop their abilities to think, reason, conduct research and attain understanding as they encounter new concepts, principles, and issues. An appendix highlights Essential Social Studies Skills and Strategies (see pages 163-166) for learners. Students represent what they learn in products that demonstrate their ability to use information accurately, and that reflect the thinking and research skills acquired in the process of learning. Students should learn both to conceive and implement self-directed projects and to participate in group projects. The development of the writing skills of students is an important objective of the products, which also include visual presentations. As a whole, the standards are a framework for education for citizenship in a democracy, and provide students with the democratic dispositions, values, and attitudes needed for civic engagement.
Snapshots of Practice provide educators with images of how the standards might look when enacted in classrooms.** Typically a Snapshot illustrates a particular Theme and one or more Learning Expectations; however, the Snapshot may also touch on other related Themes and Learning Expectations. For example, a lesson focused on the Theme of TIME, CONTINUITY, AND CHANGE in a world history class dealing with early river valley civilizations would certainly engage the theme of PEOPLE, PLACES, AND ENVIRONMENTS as well as that of TIME, CONTINUITY, AND CHANGE. These Snapshots also suggest ways in which Learning Expectations shape practice, emphasize skills and strategies, and provide examples of both ongoing and culminating assessment.
Who Can Use the Social Studies Standards?
The social studies curriculum standards offer educators, parents, and policymakers the essential conceptual framework for curriculum design and development to prepare informed and active citizens. The standards represent the framework for professional deliberation and planning of the social studies curriculum for grades from pre-K through 12. They address overall curriculum development; while specific discipline-based content standards serve as guides for specific content that fits within this framework. Classroom teachers, teacher educators, and state, district, and school administrators can use this document as a starting point for the systematic design and development of an effective social studies curriculum for grades from pre-K through 12.
State governments and departments of education can use the standards to:
Review and evaluate current state curriculum guidelines or frameworks;
Guide standards-based education by clarifying long-range goals and expectations; and
Develop a state curriculum framework that focuses both on short-range content goals and long-range social studies goals.
School districts and schools can use the standards to:
Review and evaluate current social studies curriculum with a view toward long-range goals;
Provide a framework for pre-K-12 curriculum development;
**Almost all of these Snapshots were crafted by the Task Force members, or (in the case of Snapshots reproduced from the earlier standards) by members of the Task Force that developed the standards published in 1994. The basis for the creation of Snapshots has been the personal experiences of members of the Task Forces as teachers, teacher educators, and supervisors. The Snapshots are designed to reflect the various ways in which performance indicators can be used in actual practice.
Provide ideas for instruction and assessment; and
Serve as the basis for professional development experiences.
Individual teachers can use the standards to:
Evaluate current curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices;
Provide learning expectations for units and courses that are consistent with long-range social studies goals within and across grade levels; and
Acquire ideas and examples for alignment of learning expectations, instruction, and assessment.
Teacher educators can use the standards to:
Guide the development of pre-service and in-service teacher education programs and courses;
Provide professional support for the advocacy of social studies;
Introduce pre-service and in-service teachers to the nature and purpose of social studies;
Enable pre-service and in-service teachers to plan instruction consistent with long-range purposes of social studies; and
Assess instructional planning and supervise the teaching of pre-service and in-service teachers.
Parents and community members can use the standards to:
Understand how social studies develops civic competence for the benefit of both the individual and society;
Advocate for social studies teaching and learning in grades from pre-K through 12;
Assess the quality of social studies education in local school districts; and
Assess children's development as social studies learners.
The publications of National Council for the Social Studies, including its journals Social Education and Social Studies and the Young Learner (for grades K-6), as well as books, regularly include lesson plans and other guidelines for implementing the social studies standards. A video library providing snapshots of the social studies standards in actual classrooms and linked to standards themes, which was produced by WGBH Educational Foundation, can be accessed at the Annenberg Media website at https://www.learner.org/resources/series166.html
How Do Content Standards Differ from Curriculum Standards? What is the Relationship Between Them?
Content standards (e.g., standards for civics, history, economics, geography, and psychology) provide a detailed description of content and methodology considered central to a specific discipline by experts, including educators, in that discipline. The NCSS curriculum standards instead provide a set of principles by which content can be selected and organized to build a viable, valid, and defensible social studies curriculum for grades from pre-K through 12. They are not a substitute for content standards, but instead provide the necessary framework for the implementation of content standards. They address issues that are broader and deeper than the identification of content specific to a particular discipline. The ten themes and their elaboration identify the desirable range of social studies programs. The detailed descriptions of purposes, knowledge, processes, and products identify the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that social studies programs should provide students as part of their education for citizenship. The social studies curriculum standards should remind curriculum developers and others of the overarching purposes of social studies programs in grades pre-K through 12: to help young people make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse democratic society in an interdependent world.
The civic mission of social studies requires more than the acquisition of content. Since social studies has as its primary goal the development of a democratic citizenry, the experiences students have in their social studies classrooms should enable learners to engage in civic discourse and problem-solving, and to take informed civic action. The national curriculum standards for social studies present purposes worth caring about, processes worth engaging in, and knowledge worth learning. They provide the essential framework needed to educate young people for the challenges of citizenship.
Since standards have been developed both in social studies and in many of the individual disciplines that are integral to social studies, one might ask: What is the relationship among these various sets of standards? The answer is that the social studies standards address overall curriculum design and comprehensive student learning expectations, while state standards and the national content standards for individual disciplines (e.g., history, civics and government, geography, economics, and psychology)4 provide a range of specific content through which student learning expectations can be accomplished. For example, the use of the NCSS standards might support a plan to teach about the topic of the U.S. Civil War by drawing on three different themes: Theme 2 TIME, CONTINUITY, AND CHANGE; Theme 3 PEOPLE, PLACES, AND ENVIRONMENTS; and Theme 10 CIVIC IDEALS AND PRACTICES.

CR trashes Karma
CR trashes Karma
Thansk for the update, but this news is definitely not surprising.
But it IS fun to laugh at Fisker
My father has a Fisker Karma. It's a beautiful car but I have to agree with the Consumer Reports article. His car has been in the shop numerous times. When he tried to drive it over Sonora Pass all the warning lights suddenly came on and he had to pull over. They were going to send out a tow truck until they realized where he was (Sonora Pass is a 9600 foot pass in the Sierras with a 26% grade in places). Anyway, he was able to restart the car and limp home (after a couple more incidents along the way).
He still loves the car and I have to admit it's a stunningly beautiful car, but it's totally impractical IMO. It is indeed quite cramped inside with the battery taking up a huge amount of space in the center of the car and the gasoline engine is quite noticeable in its sound. The touch screen is absolutely horrid and rather buggy. If you want to see how bad the touch screen is, take a look at this video:
No offense to your father, but I have to wonder if people who say that they love the Karma are saying so both because they spent so much money on it, and put a vote of confidence in something that was a little off the beaten path. In otherwords, they are trying to avoid looking like they made a bad decision or got fooled.
Because the guy on YouTube who gave a very in-depth review of the car sounded the same way to me. He kept mentioning all the flaws, and there was almost nothing good about the car, other than the way it looks*, and yet kept mentioning, "...but it's a great car!"
*and I think this is far from a universal opinion too. I wouldn't say the car is ugly, but I think it looks really funny.
The Karma is Fisker's first car. Like the Roadster, it's got some issues, but it IS a great car to drive and to look at. It has little trunk space, the back seat passengers can't sit up straight. The screen is too small for doing all that it does and the logic of it is pretty illogical. It also tends to not work all the time.
But, it's got great torque, like the Model S, great handling and is engaging to drive. In short, it's "lovable" I get that. Anyone who has owned a Porsche or a Jaguar would get that. A car doesn't have to be objectively perfect to be lovable. I don't think the people who criticize their Fiskers and still love them are all that unusual, nor are they just justifying their purpose.
I went out to a Fisker dealer to look at them. I was offered a test drive, but declined because I didn't want to love it. 5500 lbs? No room? No trunk? $100,000+? That's all I need to know. I sure like the way they look though.

Its a bit complicated to explain but so far it goes like this... the hostname is vps01.mbitservices.com.au the public ip address of my vps is 22.214.171.124 I am hosting x3 sites on it , I own the domain names registered at Crazy Domains: mbitservices.com.au markberrymusic.com openheartliving.com I have added DNS zones into ISPConfig 3 for all the above and I am setting ns1.mbitservices.com.au with an A record : 220.127.116.11 on each site within ISPConfig 3. As the first name server and Crazy Domains relevant name server as the second NS. I have added the glue record ns1.mbitservices.com.au as ip 126.96.36.199 into Crazy domains for the site mbitservices.com.au mbitservices.com.au is working fine on the internet the other two are not even if I ping from a shell into my VPS I cannot ping those sites. and nslookup suggests the DNS is actually using the VPS hosts Name servers help! any suggestion

Mark Trumbo the Angels' Future at First Base?
Newly acquired Mark Teixeira will stay at the Newport Beach home of his agent Scott Boras for the rest of the season, the Orange County Register reports.
Casey Kotchman, meanwhile, is saying all the right things with the Atlanta Braves.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Casey seemed quite happy — I'd say "Chipper" but the Braves already have one of those — to be closer to home.
Some local news reports have suggested that Casey didn't get along with manager Mike Scioscia, that Casey didn't like sitting once in a while so Robb Quinlan could get some at-bats. I don't know any player who's happy to sit.
I've no idea whether it's true or not. My beef with this deal is that Teixeira is a free agent in three months. Whether or not he re-signs is irrelevant, as they could have signed him anyway in the off-season. It's an all too expensive rental.
Should Teixeira move on, Kendry Morales is the leading candidate for the first base job in 2009, but Arkansas Democrat-Gazette sportswriter Todd Traub suggests Mark Trumbo will be on deck pretty soon.
Entering Tuesday, Trumbo was tied with Class AAA Charlotte's Brad Eldred for fourth in the minor league home runs race with 28. Former Traveler Dallas McPherson (2003-2004) led the minors with 38.
"It's progressed," Trumbo said of his power stroke. "That's probably one of the main reasons why I got drafted. They like the power, and it's come a long way."
I interviewed Mark on July 13. We talked quite a bit about how he's altered his mechanics and his approach at the plate — stuff you don't learn from a calculator, which is why the statheads wrote him off last winter. Mark hit another homer last night, so he's up to 29.
In closing, the Provo Daily Herald has a nice article today about Tom Kotchman, who will be honored by the Orem Owlz tonight for winning his 1,500th game. Some people have asked me over the years why Kotch isn't managing or coaching in the big leagues. Read this article. Casey will tell you why.

Every signature counts, please pass this on!
In late November, 2012, The Trumpeter Swan Society (TTSS) joined more than 200 citizen groups in objecting to a provision in the Sportsmen's Act of 2012 (Senate Bill 3525) that would create an exemption under federal toxics law to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from evaluating or regulating lead poisoning of wildlife and humans from hunting or fishing activities.
A wide array of public-interest organizations called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to allow debate on the lead-poisoning exemption. Such debate has never occurred in Congress despite the serious environmental and public-health problems caused by spent lead ammunition and lost lead fishing weights and the availability of nontoxic alternatives to lead. The organizations support an amendment by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) to block the exemption and study the human-health and environmental effects of lead poisoning from lead in ammunition and fishing sinkers.
"It's outrageous that the Senate can't find 10 minutes to allow any debate before voting to prevent our federal environmental agency from regulating, or even evaluating, a deadly toxic substance that we know is killing bald eagles and other wildlife — a toxin that causes neurological damage to humans and hinders mental development in children," said William Snape, senior counsel with the Center for Biological Diversity. "There are good reasons we got toxic lead out of gasoline and home paints. The irony of this bill, preventing any regulation of lead used in hunting ammunition or fishing weights, is that it will harm hunters and anglers."
The Sportsmen's Act, which could be voted on as early as today, would create an exemption under the Toxic Substances Control Act to block the EPA from ever regulating toxic lead used in hunting ammunition and fishing sinkers or even evaluating the impacts of lead from these sources. The bill also contains an exemption that would allow imports of threatened polar bear parts from Canada despite the Endangered Species Act's prohibition against such trade.
"Why would the Senate bow to the National Rifle Association's anti-science views on lead poisoning and pass a special-interest legal exemption to promote further lead poisoning?" said Snape. "The amendment offered by Senator Boxer would actually establish a moratorium on any regulation of lead in ammunition or fishing sinkers until federal health and environment agencies prepare an objective study that all Americans could trust."
Toxic lead entering the food chain from spent hunting ammunition and lost or discarded fishing sinkers poisons and kills bald eagles, endangered condors, loons, swans and more than 130 other species of wildlife. Hunters risk lead poisoning from ingesting lead fragments and residues in game shot with lead ammunition. Recent studies and scientific reports show elevated blood lead levels in hunters eating lead-infected meat, as well as dangerous lead contamination of venison donations to low-income food banks.
The Boxer amendment is reprinted below in its entirety.
Boxer Amendment to the Sportsmen's Act:
SA 2902. Mrs. BOXER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to amendment SA 2875 proposed by Mr. REID (for Mr. TESTER) to the bill S. 3525, to protect and enhance opportunities for recreational hunting, fishing, and shooting, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
Strike section 121 and insert the following:
(a) No Regulation of Ammunition or Fishing Tackle.–The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall not issue any proposed or final rule or guidance to regulate any chemical substance or mixture in ammunition or fishing tackle under the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) during the period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act and ending on the date of the publication of the study required by subsection (b).
(b) Study of Potential Human Health and Environmental Effects.—
(1) IN GENERAL.–Not later than December 31, 2014, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Secretary of the Interior shall jointly prepare and publish a study that describes the potential threats to human health (including to pregnant women, children, and other vulnerable populations) and to the environment from the use of—
(A) lead and toxic substances in ammunition and fishing tackle; and
(B) commercially available and less toxic alternatives to lead and toxic substances in ammunition and fishing tackle.
(2) USE.–The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall use, as appropriate, the findings of the report required by paragraph (1) when considering any potential future decision related to a chemical substance or mixture when the substance or mixture is used in ammunition or fishing tackle.

WAKEFIELD — The U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force reported Monday Wakefield police apprehended a fugitive at a convenience store in town, who was believed to have been hiding in Rochester
Paul Michael Skaltsis, 22, originally born in Dover, was reported as wanted by the U.S. Marshals office last Friday on an outstanding warrant for a parole violation stemming from a conviction for second-degree assault.
The task force believed Skaltsis, who they say has ties to local gangs in the area, may have been in Rochester because of his last known address, though they had little else to go on. They warned area residents not to approach him if found, claiming he had violent tendencies and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Jeffrey White said in cases like this, his organization counts on the public's assistance through the "Fugitive of the Week" program, where the U.S. Marshals reach out to several media outlets with a photo and description of a wanted suspect. Foster's Daily Democrat was among those local outlets contacted last week.
"In this particular case, every indication was (Skaltsis) was still going to be in the Rochester area," White explained, "but in this case, the callers all pointed us up to Wakefield and that's where he was found. It definitely worked out."
White said over the course of a few days, numerous callers phoned in stating they recognized the released photo.
"We had spoken to Wakefield police a couple times last week and they had a lot of information that he was up in Wakefield, and possibly living in Wakefield," he said. "From what I gather, a couple of officers went to a convenience store in town and actually saw him there."
Wakefield Police Lt. Mark O'Brien was unable to return calls before press time to confirm the details of the arrest though White said he believed officers found the suspect inside or near a gas station on White Mountain Highway. Skaltsis may have also been in a vehicle, though that information was not confirmed.
Skaltsis was reportedly sentenced to two to five years and released on parole in September 2011. A warrant was issued for his arrest in early July of this year when he failed to comply with the state Department of Corrections Parole Board's regulations.
According to the department, Skaltsis was charged with two counts of second-degree assault in Rochester in September 2008, as well as one count for rioting almost a year later, in 2009.
According to a recent press release, Skaltsis was scheduled to be transferred to the New Hampshire State Prison in Concord following his arrest on Monday.
The U.S. Marshals office report since its inception of the New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force in 2002, local partnerships have resulted in more than 4,392 arrests. White said the program has worked out well for his department in this area.
"It definitely works," he said. "We get a lot of phone calls and nine times out of 10, people are right on, dead accurate. We wait for that information and we usually get our person."
