H<nn:tM umatf mmf\ i&ok p?a« '" :^j^' Jones Beach sewage plant has 32 violations By Laura Schofer The Jones Beach Sewage Treatment Plant, permitted to treat 2.5 million gallons of effluent a day, has the highest number of violations to its permit, dumping coliform and suspended solids into the shallow back bays and marsh islands north of Jones Beach State Park and just behind the Nikon Jones Beach Theatre. Environmentalists Adriemie Esposito of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Rob Weltner, President of SPLASH, said that even though there is a no swimming, clamming or a fishing zone around the sewage treatment plant, some of the treated effluent still ends up in 2^ch's Bay where people anchor their boats and swim on a hot summer's day. The Jones Beach Sewage Treatment Plant, owned and run by the New York State Department of Recreation, has racked up 32 violations to its permit, since 2004. The plant was built in the 1950s by Robert Moses. It treats and processes on average 120,000 gallons a day of both solid and liquid waste dispersed from four pumps within the park. The facility uses two separation tanks to separate solids from fluids and to purify the water, and a combination of bacteria and natural drying to treat the effluent. By comparison, the Cedar Creek treatment facility in Wmtagh uses an aeration system to treat more than 50 million gallons of sewage daily. The treatment plant has very little to process in winter months but demand is high during the summer, when the plant processes about 180,000 gallons a day, said George Gorman from the New York State Department of Parks and Recreation. He added that the plant has processed as much as 700,000 gallons a day on Memorial Day or July 4th.

Ha - these blokes don't even bother coming out until it's at least 4 foot (you get fussier as time goes by). I've been out with them in solid 10 foot+ and you can't wipe the smile off their face and there's no pulling back (which is also a credit to their fitness as that place is no breeze to paddle out in that size). Sick post man.

Space I mean How much free space do you have between your lovely shiny black sensor and the furthest object and more importantly how well does that space work?
I have just measured mine and between my Kinect which sits on top of my TV (at an elevated position of 5 foot) and the start of my sofa I have 9 foot free in distance and 6 foot across... so by my calcualtions thats 54 square feet of playing room... yet (sadly to say) the Kinect wants MORE!!!
Single player games are not a problem (athough Your Shape still wants me further back) but two player can get a bit tight. I'm quite lucky with the free space I have but I am guessing other people don't have the luxury of that room.
So... come on people... how bigs yours and how are you finding the experiance?

Occupy has already accomplished so much. What promise does it hold and what dangers does it face this spring?
Why has democracy become a question?
What happens to American politics in the absence of protest movements?
Why is it conservatives, rather than progressives, who speak of moral crises?
Occupy tiene que continuar su marcha como un movimiento decidido y frontal que ocupe bancos, casas matrices, juntas de directorio, campus universitarios y la mismísima Wall Street.
As the weather heats up, so will the action. But what direction should the movement take?
The head of the beast can only be cut off at one place—and that's downtown Manhattan.
The cohesive communities formed in town square in the fall are over, but the movement lives on.
Occupy is the base upon which to build a mass left radical movement, one that challenges the system itself.
The movement isn't about reforming capitalism, it's about creating a democracy that's incompatible with capitalism.

At his last regular city council meeting as Adairville mayor, Jim Wilkerson reported that the Logan Todd Regional Water Commission (LTRWC) voted to raise its rates at its most recent meeting and offered a suggestion about how the city should handle it.
Wilkerson, who served as the city's representative on the LTRWC during his time as mayor, said the commission voted to raise the rate by eight cents per 1,000 gallons.
"We know that we've got to have more revenue and sell more volume to get that revenue," Wilkerson said.
LTRWC, which gets its water from the Cumberland River and processes it at a state-of-the-art facility in Guthrie, acts as a wholesaler while the individual water districts and municipalities - including the city of Adairville - act as retailers. All water in Logan County comes from LTRWC.
When LTRWC raises the price for water, the districts and cities must choose whether or not to pass the expense on to customers.
Wilkerson said that the amount of water the commission is selling has been going down, causing a loss in revenue that is necessary for paying the bonds which were responsible for building the water treatment facility.
There is about $55 million still owed on the bonds, the largest of which is $48 million, according to Wilkerson.
The LTRWC looking into possibly refinancing the bonds to save money, but when that didn't appear possible, they instead chose to raise the rate they charge for water.
Wilkerson suggested that the council go ahead and make a decision on what it would do. His suggestion was to raise the city's by 10 cents per 1,000 gallons. That would raise the minimum water bill in Adairville from $25.88 to $26.08.
Adairville and other cities and water districts have a couple months to figure out how they are going to address the increase, which goes into effect on March 1, 2013.
"Is 10 cents close enough so that we won't have to raise it again anytime soon?" Blake said.
Wilkerson said that depended on how much the LTRWC may raise rates in the future.
He added that the eight cent raise may wind up not being enough and the commission's main bond holder, Rural Development, may come in and force a bigger rate increase in the near future.
If that sounds familiar, it's because that is what happened three years ago.
The LTRWC was forced to raise its rates by 44 cents per 1,000 gallons in March of 2010 because the bondholders forced their hand.
The Adairville council made no decision on Monday. Next month Donna Blake will be taking over and two new council members will begin serving. It will be up to them to make the decision.

Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Science and Scientism in Biology: The Origin of Morality
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 2
We have already discussed hind limb and hair loss in whales, and now we turn to one of the remaining questions: tooth loss in the lineage leading to modern toothless whales.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Misconceptions About Evolution, Part 2
Evolutionary theory is not in crisis; scientists accept evolution as the best explanation for life's diversity because of the multiple lines of evidence supporting it, its broad power to explain biological phenomena, and its ability to make accurate predictions in a wide variety of situations.
Misconceptions About Evolution, Part 1
The website Understanding Evolution, hosted by The University of California Museum of Paleontology, Berkeley, offers its readers numerous helpful resources regarding the science and history of evolutionary biology.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.

I agree with Bob and im still upset because a panic occured when they anounced production being shut down then started back up.
If you put contact information, it just makes it easier instead of hunting for information to these @$$hats in congress.
How about we all discuss how the three degrees the huge reservoir in China has thrown the planet out of its normal tilt is causing massive weather catastrophies worldwide .
Maybe the board of supervisors can also remain silent if they feel the need to call 911 because they didn't bother to arm themselves.
Guys, I know it is hard to find the ammo we all need. I don't mean to state the obvious, but the stuff is available, and its easy to find. I shoot my .270 a lot, and the ammo they have keeps me hunting (I shoot Barnes. It's under $40 and in stock). They have 37 cartridges listed but some are sold out ( most aren't) CD has a button that makes it easy, but here's the link anyway

Tne U-"ban Dweller is a monthly publication of Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods (CHUN), 1290 Williams; 388-2716. THE URBAN DWELLED DEC so Denver s District Attorney Discusses Area Crime With CHUN Board Dale Tooley, Denver's District Attorney, long time resident of Capitol Hill and CHUN member, spoke to the CHUN board of delegates at its last meeting. He had requested to address the board about the problem of crime in Capitol Hill, and to suggest what could be done to help eliminate it. Tooley reported that he had specifically asked the police department's vice and narcotics unit to keep pressure on the Colony Lounge at 569 East Coifax,which he feels is a problem. "That is a difficult block," he explained, and "we intend to keep our attention on the place." He also said that another problem bar he intended to watch was the Barmaid. Changes can occur in an establishment, Tooley explained, and he mentioned the successes in closing Malfunction Junction and the Pearl Street Complex. As for the House of Draught, the manager recently told him that if the place were any cleaner "it would be a church.*" Tooley explained he did not share this view, and was still "trying to slow the place down." He said that the best way he has found to improve a business is to get the management involved. Tooley then explained a theory of his based on his experience as the city's top prosecutor as to why there is a seeming increase of violent crime in the city. In the past few months he has seen the largest influx of Klan, Na^i, and anti-semetic materials that he has encountered in several years. He believes that these items^ "probably protected by the first amendment," contribute to a violent climate. "Most of the material has been distributed in east and southeast Denver," he stated, "but it is undoubtedly passed around." He requested that if anyone sees this type of literature that they call his office (575-5176 — ask for Lu Ann Richey). He also requested that if anyone hears of potential criminal activity or observes those who appear to be mentally ill and potentially dangerous, that his office be called.

Our new office will be easier to find and sunnier.

18 August 2000
The new Ministry of Fisheries office at Nikau Crescent, Mount Maunganui, will be officially opened today (August 18).
District Compliance Manager for the Ministry, Steve Atwill, said 18 Ministry staff had moved into the office over the past month. They included staff with local, regional and national responsibilities, reflecting the importance of the Bay of Plenty region in fisheries management terms.
"It's a great improvement over the old premises in central Tauranga", said Steve.
"The design and build option allowed us to consolidate all our operations under one roof, and the site is near good access to launch our boats on Tauranga Harbour. There is also much better parking and access for people visiting the Ministry."
A feature of the building is a magnificent carving by Moana Arts renowned carver James Tapiata of the Ngati Hangarau Hapu, Ngati Ranginui Iwi. The carving depicts Tangaroa, God of the Sea, surrounded by his whanau, mounted on a rock display with flowing waters and a fountain, who share the collective guardianship of the resources within his realm.
The arrangement symbolises "Whakakotahitanga", meaning the bringing together of all the elements of Tangaroa's domain - the sea. It also symbolises the many peoples who are provided for from this domain and who also share in the responsibility of conserving, nurturing and managing this domain to ensure its long term sustainability. This is representative of the Ministry's roles in supporting Tangaroa.

The BLS statistics show that even 23% of workers in the healthcare and social assistance sector are without access to paid sick days.
Boushey said the United States is the only developed country without a law guaranteeing employees the right to paid sick days. She said even most undeveloped countries have laws that guarantee paid sick days.
"The U.S. is very much an outlier," she said.

Over the years, I have purchased three pairs of these shoes. I love their ugly-chic aesthetic, and they're great for me because I have weird foot issues. However, they are not the most durable things, and therefore, a touch overpriced. The sole wears down incredibly fast. For my last two pairs I took them to my friendly cobbler, who gave them some sturdier soles. Much better. They also stretch out very fast, so if they seem tight on your feet at first, give them a couple of wearings and they should conform to the shape of your foot. Highly recommended, just make sure you get the sole protectors and you should be pretty satisfied.

These are the best shoes that I have ever owned in my life. If there was a winter version I would probably wear this brand exclusively. These shoes are comfortable and cute. I have flat feet so most shoes end up squeezing my toes together and making my feet ache. These shoes are do not hurt at all. Yesterday I ordered the 711 style and they arrived today! Zappos is the best! I love them already. I normally wear a 7½, but sometimes need a 37. I got these (and the 711) in 38 and they fit perfectly.

These look SO AMAZING on! Comfortable to walk in, lower heel height is just what I was looking for. The best feature of these shoes is the adjustable laces. I have bunions, and width can be challenging when selecting shoes. With these, loosening the laces in that spot is very helpful. Only one complaint is that they are slightly too small. I measure a US 10.5 and purchased 41. By loosening the back buckle and tightening the straps I think they will work. I am afraid the strap on the size 42 would be too loose. As it fits, the 41 is on second to tightest hole and it leaves a lot of length hanging off. They also might not have as much arch support as I need but am willing to sacrifice because they look so good on!

Okay, first of all I gotta share this with everybody: I ordered these Worishofer sandals on Saturday night, and received them before 3pm on Monday! How insanely awesome is that? So for service, Zappos gets a billion stars in every way. I will be shopping for a bunch of extra Worishofers pairs through this site & no other. I mean its hassle free! We already deal with hassle in our everyday shopping experiences /life in general, so why. deal with BS when you're just trying to get shoes!? Right? So, Zappos, te amo! And now to the review of these beauties! I literally never experienced anything like this. I mean, my feet are singing to me right now and thanking me at the same time. I received them today after lusting over Worishofer sandals for the longest time. Besides the fact that they're the cutest sandals on planet earth and beyond, I'm telling you, ladies, I've never experienced such comfort in my entire life! I have really cute feet (okay, that wasn't very modest of me now was it?), but the problem I face daily in the summer with sandals is as follows: all sandals are too wide for me, I have size 9 feet with very high arches, and most sandals albeit cute offer no support. So finally I can wear extremely hot sandals like Worishofers, that are super cute (the cutest in my opinion) yet offer support and literally massage your feet while you walk. It's funny how a lot of peeps refer to these as "old lady shoes"... to me they have a feel of yesteryear like so retro like the sandals I used to wear as a little girl. I got the 538 black snake Worishofers and they're too hot...they look like little pin up sandals. Definitely have a '40s feel and I can finally wear sandals that don't torture my feet. It's all about comfort for me and if you feel comfortable, you'll look hot. It's just like my own granny (rest in peace) used to say, "when you wear uncomfortable shoes, it shows on your face".. totally true. I hope my review makes you buy Worishofers for the rest of your life which is what I'm planning on doing, through Zappos.com obviously! Well thanks for reading my review & have a beautiful day...I'm going to hit the karaoke joint tonight in my Worishofers! Best thing to come out of Germany besides schnitzels.
I'd also recommend: Worishifer forevaaa!!!!!!!!! & vintage boots in the winter!!!!

Ever since he was a freshman at Sabino High School, Matt Korcheck has dreamed of playing basketball for the University of Arizona.
"I saw it was him and I ran out of class," Korcheck said on Wednesday, hours after signing his national letter of intent to play for the Wildcats. "He just told me they were offering me a scholarship. I told him, 'thank you.' I was excited. We kept talking."
He was U of A head coach Sean Miller, who had called Cochise head coach Jerry Carrillo the night before to let him know the offer was coming.
"It's more than just the Pac-12. Arizona basketball is such a huge deal in Southern Arizona," Carrillo said. "When Miller came down to a game here, I had to get him out the back way because everybody had their phone out taking his picture."
Arizona's Sports Information Department said that according to NCAA rules, Miller is not allowed to comment on a recruit until all the paperwork is completed.
As eager as the Tucson media and UA fan base will be to see the 6-foot-9 sophomore try to become the first Tucson-native to succeed in the Wildcat program since Sean Elliot, they will have to wait a year. Korcheck was adamant that wherever he wound up going, he would use his redshirt year first. Carrillo said some programs, including Marquette and Missouri, were ready to put him on the court next fall.
"It's a good marriage — Arizona wanted a five-year guy because they have guys who are going to be one-and-done," Carrillo said. "And for Matt, he's in a situation where he's still developing his feel for the game. You never know what your junior year will be like academically and socially, so for him to get to be a five-year guy is really good."
Korcheck had been pursued by a number of high-profile programs, including Pittsburgh, Washington, Auburn and Oklahoma, the only school other than Arizona he visited. The Wildcats were the last to offer, but Korcheck said he never lost hope they would.
"I guess it was somewhat (in doubt)," Korcheck said. "But I always knew they had some interest."
What Korcheck's not looking forward to is the pressure of the public eye that will be squarely on him once he hits the Tucson campus.
"It's overwhelming; it's exciting," Korcheck said. "I don't really handle that stuff very well, but I'll have fun with it. I just want to go play basketball. I've just got to take it as a good thing and stay focused."
Korcheck, an Air Force brat who grew up mostly in the South before moving to Tucson in the eighth-grade, did not quite live up to his potential in high school. But in two years in Douglas, he became perhaps the premiere big man in the Arizona junior college game.
"It's a great accomplishment for Matt," Carrillo said. "He had two visits his senior year of high school — Northern Arizona and UTEP — and after here, he's visited Arizona and Oklahoma and turned down visits to Washington, Pitt and Auburn. The two years here, he's cut down two nets. He didn't accomplish that at Sabino."
After struggling somewhat his freshman year, averaging eight points and six rebounds, Korcheck came on in his sophomore year to average 15 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game on his way to second-team All-ACCAC honors on a Cochise team that won the regular season title.
"Mental strength," Korcheck said, accounting for his improvement. "A lot of basketball is mental toughness and I think I've gained mental toughness."
"He works hard in the weightroom," Carrillo said. "He lifts, does a great job and has a great work ethic. At U of A, with their skill development and strength and conditioning program, he should continue to improve his body."
In Korcheck's freshman year, the Apaches took the fourth-seed to the NJCAA Region I tournament and rallied to win the championship game at Arizona Western. This season, the Apaches had a more impressive regular season, but were upset in the semifinals of the Region I tournament by Central Arizona, largely because Korcheck was fighting foul trouble the entire game. Korcheck's foul frequency was his biggest bugaboo at Cochise, but Carrillo thinks that should be less of a problem for him at the major Division I level.
"He's going from a game with 100 possessions to one with 65 to 70. That's the beauty of him having a redshirt year," Carrillo said. "It will give him an opportunity to learn their system and find his niche. He's going to get to play at the 4 and 5 in the Pac-12 against guys 6-9 and 6-10. He's not going to have to go against a 6-4 center anymore. In the playoff game, he gets called for fouls just for being bigger… He got penalized for being taller. But that part of his career is over, and I think he can become a better offensive rebounder because I don't think he has to worry about fouls going to the glass against guys 6-10."
Korcheck wasn't the first of the nine Cochise sophomores to sign this spring. Last week, sophomore Nathan Sobey, from Australia, signed with the University of Wyoming.
"The main reason they recruited me was that they were losing a senior who played 35 minutes a game," Sobey said. "I just have to prove myself, and then take those minutes."
Sobey knows he needs to get accustomed to playing at a slower pace after thriving under Cochise's breakneck tempo, which helped him earn first-team All-ACCAC honors with his relentless, attacking style.
"I just need to work on my IQ of seeing the whole floor," Sobey said. "I need to slow my mind down but go at the same pace."
While Korcheck and Sobey cut down one net as region champions their freshman years and conference champions their sophomore years, redshirt sophomores Jonathan Brooks and former Buena High standout Derek Lane, were part of three, thanks to the Apaches' conference title in 2009-10.
Neither Brooks nor Lane will be playing at the next level, but both hope to catch on as student managers with the intent of beginning careers as coaches. Brooks, an El Paso-native, plans to enroll at the University of Texas, and Lane at Arizona.
"At Cochise, I learned how to play hard, how to prepare, how to put a lot of focus into one goal," Brooks said. "The thought of (continuing) playing occurred to me, but I'd like to start coaching as early as possible."
The remaining five Cochise sophomores have yet to sign, but Carrillo said Nnamdi Ezenwa was recently offered by Division I Idaho State, and is currently visiting St. Mary's, a Division II school in Texas along with point guard Mark Simmons.Koyai Clauschee and Elfrida's Saul Mancinas have been offered by Berea University, an NAIA school in Kentucky, and Clauschee also has an offer from Fort Lewis College in Colorado, Carrillo said.
With plenty of space to fill on next year's roster, Carrillo has announced his first signing in Kendall Grover, a 6-foot-6 player from Thunder Ridge High School in Denver.

Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer.
The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. He brings in a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation--not just of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided Li's life. He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U.S.
And instantly his world explodes. The one good thing in Bosch's life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him, and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity.
Impressed? Ace detective Harry Bosch is also on the case in other exciting Michael Connelly crime-fiction novels.
We're thrilled to announce that our premier Audible Live event on Facebook will be a chat with best-selling author Michael Connelly. On November 3 at 7pm (ET), you'll be able to ask him questions about Nine Dragons, Harry Bosch, his favorite audiobooks, and more! RSVP Today

"Terrific....Connelly never stops doling out the suspense as action leads to counteraction....His thriller is an addictive read that, once it grabs you in those first few pages, won't let go of you....High-grade entertainment." (Boston Globe)
"Not Connelly's Best"
I am a Michael Connelly fan but this book did not cut it for me. The unbelievability factor is just too high in both dialog and storyline. Maybe the Len Cariou narration contributed to this problem as the father daughter conversations did not ring true. I prefer Connelly read by Dick Hill or Adam Grupper. I did, however, enjoy the Hong Kong scenes as I've been there a few times and could visualize the settings. I got through it pretty easily and enjoyed some moments but Connelly has written many better books.
I've read others in the Harry Bosch series and enjoyed them. He's never perfect, but solid, well-intentioned, and very committed to solving the case. But in this one, he just seemed too... blustery, or overbearing, i guess. And worse yet, he made stupid mistakes that even a civilian would know not to make, let alone a cop. I'll probably stop with this series after this one.
"Great Book"
I had a fantastic time listening to this book. This was my first Michael Connelly book and I had a lot of fun.
The narration was pretty good to.
I'll be sure to be looking for more Michael Connelly booka in the future.
"Okay but not up to Bosch standards"
I never got into this one. I was really eager to start it and the story was interesting but something was gone from the old Harry Bosch. He actually gets along with his boss in this book which is the first time I believe. THe Chinese dialogue by the narrator was not very good. That I believe was the main problem I had with the book. Since it is Connelly and Bosch I would recommend it, but to me it was not the usual Connelly "couldn't put down" quality.
"Will the real Harry Bosch please stand up?"
I've listened to Bosch books by Cariou and by others. I've enjoyed them all, but for some reason the Harry Bosch I know and love seemed to be missing. I thought it might have been the narration that put such a different spin on the character, but I'm not so sure. Bosch has always been headstrong and independent. He gets results with his no nonsense approach, but all of his redeeming characteristics were missing. Before I was halfway through the book I was ready to stop listening because Harry was just coming across as a racist, conceited overly self-involved jerk.
I was very disappointed with him. The story was interesting enough for me to actually finish it. It was a great story, with the exception of Harry.
The one true bright spot of the book was a cameo by one of our favorite lawyers. I'd love to hear more from him and the REAL Harry.
"THE Worst Connelly Novel Amid a Pile of Great Ones"
Until 9 Dragons, I have enjoyed all of Michael Connelly's novels. They are usually, taut, believe-able and gripping, with a decent amount of character development, especially compared to what one usually finds in this genre.
9 Dragons is anything but.
If you are out to turn someone on to this author, don't start with this book!! Dunno what happened, but this far-fetched, dog of a story, while engaging enough, is not even close to the level of Connelly's other outings. It's as he's created an "alternative reality" Bosch. Maybe that's it. In another novel or three, we'll find out that in the real universe, Rachel is still alive and 9 Dragons was some aberrated fantasy/dream sequence or something. Maybe Connelly has a penchant for sci-fi yet to be revealed..?
"Classic but ultimately unwieldy Bosch"
The best part of this book was in the early chapters as Bosch plies the streets of LA. His relationships, good and bad, with colleagues and others, are absorbing and instructive. Borderline implausible plot twists (probably unnecessary) and some unresolved issues were a bit disappointing, but all in all, this was highly absorbing if you don't do too much analysis or mourn the loss of a somewhat grittier, though no tougher, Harry.
"Transition book?"
It seems to me that this is a transition book to enable Connelly to continue his story line now that Harry is getting older. The addition of his daughter to the plot line, and the comments by Mickey Haller lead me to believe a new series of books are on the way. This is not Connelly's best, but it is still better than most. I love the China aspect. The ending is a bit abrupt.
I'm a big Michael Connely fan, and I found this book listenable, but a bit of a disappointment. I hated the narrator, he has a problem with his fricatives and it is very distracting. Plus he makes it all so ridiculously intense. I could have done with a bot more character development and a lot less emoting. I expected more from Harry Bosch :(
"Book 3 stars, narrator minus 1!"
The story was just OK for me, a real stretch in places. If you are a fan of Connelly's Harry Bosch character, I am sure you will enjoy this book. It definitely had a couple of good plot twists. But Len Cariou is just awful as Bosch. At times, actually most of the time he narrates as if the listener is a complete idiot. His attempt at female voices was so bad I actually skipped over that section so I wouldn't have to listen to it.

With the delivery of four Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft since June 29, an important milestone was achieved as the Department of Defense now possesses more operational-coded F-35s than test aircraft. A total of nine F-35s have been delivered for the year, giving the DOD a total of 30 aircraft fleet-wide. Of these, 16 are operational aircraft and 14 are test planes.
"To date, the F-35 program has focused on system development and flight testing while most recently transitioning to low rate initial production," said Orlando Carvalho, Lockheed Martin executive vice president and general manager, F-35 program. "We've crossed a critical threshold as we begin delivering our LRIP 3 aircraft. We're increasingly becoming more operationally focused. These deliveries illustrate the program's natural progression and maturation that is taking place on a daily basis."
The four aircraft, which were formally accepted by the Defense Contract Management Agency with the signing of Department of Defense Form 250 (DD-250), are the first jets manufactured as part of Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lot 3. They will begin ferrying to Eglin Air Force Base, FL, in the coming days, bringing the total there to 16. The DOD has eight test aircraft at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD, and six test aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base, CA.
Three of the jets are F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variants and will be assigned to the U.S. Air Force's 33d Fighter Wing. One F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft will be assigned to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing's Marine Fighter/Attack Training Squadron 501. Once at Eglin, the 5th Generation fighters will be used for pilot and maintainer training at the base's F-35 Integrated Training Center.
The F-35 Lightning II is a 5th Generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment. Three distinct variants of the F-35 will replace the A-10 and F-16 for the U.S. Air Force, the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18 and AV8-B Harrier for the U.S. Marine Corps, and a variety of fighters for at least nine other countries.

Dan Ghenacia + Dino G + Garrett B With Daft Punk the inarguable pop culture phenomenon of the moment, all eyes and ears are focused back on Paris.

Where to watch Kanye West's "New Slaves" in Chicago tonight
Kanye West knows how to get attention. To announce his upcoming summer album, reportedly due on June 18, the Chicago-born rapper will project the video to his new single "New Slaves" on the sides of buildings in ten cities around the world. Already the black and white film of his Big Brother–like face delivering the song has appeared in New York City, as reported by Pitchfork.
Here's where you can check it out tonight in Chicago:
Wrigley Field; 9:50–10:05pm
Chicago History Museum; 10:35–10:45pm
North and Milwaukee Aves, Wicker Park; 11:15–11:25pm

Theater on the Lake 2013 lineup announced
The 2013 lineup for the Chicago Park District's Theater on the Lake was revealed this week, to include encore presentations of works by the New Colony, MPAACT, Manual Cinema, Theater Oobleck, Barrel of Monkeys, the Den Theatre, Jackalope Theatre Company and the Chi-Town Clown Revue. Find the full schedule, including special events, at our Theater on the Lake hub page.
How does the new Navy Pier stack up against our fantasy Navy Pier?
Yesterday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a plan to spruce up Chicago's downtown lakefront. The $1.1 billion project includes a new arena for DePaul University across from McCormick Place, a boutique hotel, flyover bike paths and a $278 million face-lift for Navy Pier.
It remains up for debate how much a 10,000-seat basketball arena for a team that hasn't won in years—soon to be playing schools like Creighton and Butler in a crumbling Big East Conference—will do to boost the economy of the South Loop. At least Fall Out Boy will have a new place to play.
The rehabilitation of Navy Pier is far more intriguing and overdue. The new construction, expected to begin in fall, includes a fountain, an expanded Children's Museum and more restaurants (whether those will be themed after Tom Hanks movies has not been disclosed).
Potential Navy Pier upgrades were initiated two years ago. We put together a feature about it, and envisioned 15 fantastical fixes for the tourist magnet. Compare our vision (pictured above) to the city's concept. We hoped for a water park, soul club, doughnut factory, microbrewery, floating car silo, storefront theater, skate park and more. But, you know, a fountain that transforms into a skating rink is cool, I guess.
5 things to do today: Friday, May 17
Manifest Urban Arts Festival Columbia College's annual showcase for its graduating students takes over the South Loop. The 12-hour schedule includes art and photography exhibitions, dance performances, lectures, film screenings and the opportunity to test out some newly developed video games. Various Columbia College venues in the South Loop. See colum.edu/manifest-2013/schedule for the full schedule. 8am–8pm.
Vito & Druzzi (The Rapture DJs) Drummer Vito Roccoforte and keyboardist/bassist Gabriel Andruzzi of the Rapture explore the deeper ends of the punk and disco influences on their disco-punk. Beauty Bar. 9pm. $5.
Art shows to see now
"They Seek a City: Chicago and the Art of Migration, 1910–50" | Art Institute of Chicago
Rarely seen works by artists such as Elizabeth Catlett reflect the experiences of the hundreds of thousands of people who moved to Chicago to escape persecution or poverty in the South, Eastern Europe and elsewhere during the first half of the 20th century. Through May 23.
"Amalia Pica" | Museum of Contemporary Art
In her first major solo museum exhibition (co-organized by the MCA and the MIT List Visual Arts Center), the London-based Argentine artist examines communication—in particular, the act of listening—and civic participation through drawings, sculptures, installations, projections, large-scale photographic prints and live performances. Incorporating simple materials such as flags, banners, confetti and brightly colored drinking glasses, her works are not only thoughtful but beautiful to behold. Through Aug 11.
Youth Lagoon at Metro | Pictures and review
On Youth Lagoon's latest record, Wondrous Bughouse, Trevor Powers looks inwards while channeling a lush, psychedelic sound that envelops his abstract odes. It's a slight departure from the intensely intimate anthems that populated the 24-year-old's debut record—songs which were characterized by a sense of immediacy and honesty.
Playing to a dense crowd at the Metro last night, Powers and his band seemed intent on letting their newest compositions breath, making their way through a set filled with extended interludes and outros. Easing into the woozy shuffle of "Mute," the group began the evening silhouetted by an array of multi-colored lights that illuminated a backdrop of large white sails. Stationed behind an array of keyboards, Powers casually conducted each track, occasionally picking up his microphone to belt out a particularly impassioned verse.
5 things to do during Chicago Craft Beer Week
Look, I know you want to get into swimsuit shape, but it's Chicago Craft Beer Week, and it's not going to drink itself. The 11-day festival kicks off today, running through May 26. There are dozens and dozens of events on the schedule, spread all over Chicagoland, from downtown to Elgin, Rosemont and Oak Park.
The complete schedule might be a little overwhelming. Turns out, people really love beer. Ancient humans brewed beer before they learned to make bread. Fortunately, food has caught up and many restaurants celebrate CCBW with pairings and tasting menus.
Below are five highlights.
Best weekend events in Chicago
Manifest Urban Arts Festival Columbia College's annual showcase for its graduating students takes over the South Loop.

Various Columbia College venues in the South Loop. See colum.edu/manifest-2013/schedule for the full schedule. 8am–8pm.
Rodriguez + Jenny O Though the 1970 album has long been a cult must-own amongst music nerds, Rodriguez's Cold Fact hit a startling level of fame recently thanks to the Oscar-winning doc, Searching for Sugar Man. The 70-year-old guitarist now rightfully seeks belated fame for his arresting, lightly psychedelic folk-rock songs. Arie Crown Theater. 8pm. $25–$50.

Thai is the official language of Thailand and is spoken by approximately 50 million people worldwide. Leading The Way's English-Thai dual-language radio program reaches the majority of Thailand.
Today, we live in a culture that is increasingly hostile to biblical values. It takes great courage and faith to live as a follower of Christ in a world characterized by moral depravity, injustice, idolatry, and more…but it is possible!
Dr. Michael Youssef invites you to take a walk through the book of Daniel with him. In Leading The Way Through Daniel, the first volume of the Leading The Way Through the Bible commentary series, you will discover how a man of God lived a godly life in a godless culture.
Like Daniel, we are living by faith in a faithless culture. Leading The Way Through Daniel equips you to stand for God's truth despite great opposition. This timely devotional book is ideal for personal or group use.

That rather odd intersection with its business island is going to be leveled to make way for a planned major improvement to Second Avenue — and traffic flow. Meanwhile, just down the street and also opposite to Floyd Medical Center, the Charles Hight Square shopping complex is slowly taking shape.
That's going to wind up as a lot of visual change within a couple of years in a rather small area that sees many, many Floyd Countians drive past it daily. They'll notice this when it is done ... then soon forget what was there before.
Just as today, driving past, very few realize that this entire part of town once held the homestead and corn fields that were part of the plantation of Principal Chief John Ross of the Cherokee Nation. And that was less than 200 years ago.

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network (NRN) is a cooperative network of cutting-edge rehabilitation centers designed to provide and develop activity-based therapies for promoting functional recovery and improving the overall health and quality of life of people living with spinal cord injury and other selected neurological disorders. Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a cooperative agreement with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, the NRN translates the latest scientific advances into effective rehabilitation treatments.
The mission of the NeuroRecovery Network is to provide support for the development of specialized centers that provide standardized activity-based rehabilitation care based on current scientific and clinical evidence for people with spinal cord injury and other selected neurological disorders. Initially, the NRN will focus on Locomotor Training. The goals of the NRN include:
Frazier Rehab Institute continues its commitment to excellence in rehab medicine through advancements in the area of spinal cord injury treatments. Through a collaborative partnership between Frazier Rehab Institute and both the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center and Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Louisville, Susan Harkema, Ph.D., located her Human Locomotion Research Center to Louisville.
This move led to the establishment of Frazier Rehab as the lead center in the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation's NeuroRecovery Network. In addition, the partnership mentioned above has formed the Neuroscience Collaborative Center, a research center focused on neurological disorders including movement disorders and spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation aids many patients in the recovery of injuries. For many years, patients at Frazier Rehab Institute have used rehabilitation to regain function and maintain the bone and muscle mass necessary for vital function. But now, patients with certain kinds of spinal cord injuries have access to the latest in advanced rehab medicine including the use of new strategies to retrain the nervous system. The work of Dr. Harkema and her colleagues has led to the development of Locomotor Training, an activity-based intervention for patients with spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders. This intervention re-teaches walking through the use of appropriate sensory cues that can be recognized by the neural circuitry of the spinal cord for the promotion of better muscle patterns for walking.
For more information about the NeuroRecovery Network or the Locomotor Training Program, contact us at (502) 582-4715 or 1-866-540-7719.

The Tenderloin Housing Clinic is a tax-exempt non-for-profit which is prohibited by the IRS from engaging in political activities. San Francisco gets around this by stating in its contracts that "No funds appropriated by the City and County of San Francisco FOR THIS AGREEMENT may be expended..." on political activities.
The Controller's Office recently did a financial analysis of the THC in response to the embezzlement conviction of its former employee. The Controller's Office has somehow determined that no funds appropriated by the City and County of San Francisco are used to support BeyondChron, which is an LLC of the THC, published by the THC, and is edited by two full-time employees of the THC. Basically, Shaw's salary does not contain any provisions for his work on BeyondChron and Paul Hogarth's salary only contains a small provision to work on BeyondChron. The THC claims it used profits from its legal division and the Galvin Apartments to fund BeyondChron and the portion of Hogarth's salary for his BeyondChron activities.
The problem with this is that the legal services division is primarily funded by CCSF and there are contractual provisions regarding the use of profits from CCSF-funded programs (AKA: Program Income). These provisions are restrictive in terms of how program income can be used. Specifically, the contracts state, "...provisions of this agreement shall apply to expenditures of program income". The grants from MOH and the HSA for legal services have no provisions for the use of any profits to fund BeyondChron and the most recent version of the THC's audited financial report (FY 2010) the THC indicates that rental revenue, including that from the Galvin Apartments are used to pay for management and operating the property" without ever mentioning allocations for BeyondChron.
If you read Beyondchron today, you will see that Shaw spent a bit of time at the Planning Commission yesterday. It was his intention to speak in favor of CPMC's proposed facility on Van Ness but apparently he had to leave before he could do so because the meeting ran from 10 AM to 8 PM. While the contracts with the City require the THC to keep appropriate records to document compliance with the political activities restrictions, these don't seem to be disclosable under the public records act and the City Attorney assigned to SOTF has fought such disclosure on behalf of the Controller's Office in front of the SOTF. The public is forced to rely on the findings of the Controller's Office without knowing what these findings are actually based on. There is no clear, non-influenced, independent way of knowing how Shaw's activities yesterday (or at any other time) were actually funded.
The City's current contracts with non-for-profits leave the door wide open for conflict of interest and raise serious ethical issues regarding the elected Board of Supervisor approval of grants and budgets, including line item restoration, for non-for-profits that engage in political activities. Quite simply, the City should not provide any funding to any non-for-profit that engages in political activities regardless of the non-for-profit's source of funding for its political activities.
The prohibition on political activities by non profits is documented in the THC grant agreement here. The IRS in 2007 issued this reminder to non profits not to engage in political activity and further IRS clarification on political activity for non profits (PDF). Numerous examples are cited on what is OK and what is not for a non profit, including running websites. The IRS also points out that even personal opinions are subject to the rules if they are published under the umbrella of the tax exempt organization. The IRS also doesn't make a distinction of a subsidiary like Beyondchron that the city of San Francisco has apparently been doing and considers it to be one and the same. It is the IRS that grants the non profit status in the first place, not the city
The Tenderloin Housing Clinic 2010 federal 990 tax form lists Beyondchron as a disregarded entity
A disregarded entity is a business entity that is separate from its owner but which chooses to be disregarded as separate from the business owner for federal tax purposes. The IRS says,
"If a "disregarded entity" is owned by an individual, it is treated as a sole proprietor. If the "disregarded entity" is owned any any other entity, it is treated as a branch or division of its owner."
A sole proprietorship is not a disregarded entity, because the business is not separate from the owner.
Liability Issues for a Disregarded Entity
A disregarded entity is considered the same entity as the owner for tax purposes, but not for liability purposes. For more information on this subject, read this article in which attorney Robert Warwick discusses disregarded entity tax and liability issues

Illinois voting ends at 7 p.m. But other states, including swing states, have different hours.
Illinois voters have until 7 p.m. to cast their 2012 presidential ballots, but no one is waiting very anxiously to see if our state swings Red or Blue. However, for key swing states, the picture is much different.
The earliest key state to watch for is Virginia, where polls close at 6 p.m. central time.
Voting ends 30 minutes later in swing states Ohio and North Carolina. At 7 p.m. swing states Florida, Pennslvania and New Hampshire close their polls. Wisconsin polls close at 8 p.m.
Nevada and Iowa close their voting at 9 p.m.

Staggering start times eyed as way to save cash
Move would allow District 54 to use fewer school busses
The Morris Elementary School District 54 Board of Education is looking at staggering the school start times for Shabbona and White Oak schools in order to use fewer buses and decrease transportation costs.
The board met last week and discussed this as a possibility that should be up for board vote at the beginning of 2013, said Superintendent Teri Shaw Tuesday. The district is seeking the thoughts of the community first.
"We're seeking community input to discuss any potential obstacles and solutions to those obstacles," she said.

One man dead in triple shooting in Chester
CHESTER - Three men were walking on Clover Lane when shots rang out Wednesday night, leaving one dead and two others wounded, police said.

According to a brief press release, police were dispatched to the 900 block of Clover Lane for a shooting, at about 8:07 p.m. Arriving officers found one victim, described as unresponsive, in the rear of the 900 block of Clover Lane.
