You think you're having a bad week? Consider this: Within a single week in 2009, food journalist Robin Mather was laid off from her job at the Chicago Tribune and found herself on the brink of divorce.
Faced with this double whammy, she retreated to a 650-square-foot cottage on a small lake in southwest Michigan, where she was—to put things into perspective—eight miles from the nearest street light. There, she embarked on the life now chronicled in her memoir-with-recipes The Feast Nearby: How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, bartering, and eating locally (all on forty dollars a week)—a book that environmentalist Bill McKibben calls "charmingly subversive—a lovely reminder of, and guide to, the things that really count."
Mather now serves as Senior Associate Editor at Mother Earth News—and her personal turnaround earned her honorable mention for Best Second Act Comeback from the popular Second Act site.
In the guest post that follows, Mather shares what she learned during the year she committed to eating three local homes-cooked meals a day on $40 a week—and describes how eating well in Plan B Nation can be a first step towards bouncing back.
By Robin Mather
I get lots of lovely mail from readers of The Feast Nearby. "You're so brave!" they say. "I wish I had your strength!" they write.
But I am not brave—in the book's first chapter, I write about how frightened and fearful I was—and I am not especially strong. What I am blessed with, though, is resilience.
When life slugged me, as poet John Ciardi describes it in "In Place of a Curse"—one of my favorite poems— you can bet I fingered my jaw in painful admiration. And then I got up. Because really, what other choice is there?
Resilience isn't strength. It creates strength. Resilience isn't courage. It creates courage. Resilience doesn't change your luck. It makes your luck. Resilience is why some people survive pain without bitterness, and its lack is why others become bent and twisted by what's happened to them. Resilience helps you see that a hard punch isn't personal, and that the punch doesn't define you; it's just something that happened to you.
Resilience is what you need to weather life's hardships, and to come out better on the other side. So how do you cultivate it?
Well, I think resilience has to be fed—literally, as well as metaphorically. I think that cooking for yourself, really cooking good food, the kind that nourishes your spirit as well as your body, builds resilience.
This spirit-building kind of food will never come out of a box, or be passed to you out of a drive-through window in a paper bag. It requires ingredients as near their natural state as possible. These ingredients remind you of your connection to the wide, wide world every time you lay hands on them to cook. And if those ingredients connect you to the person who grew them, then they will really nourish you, because you have begun to build a community.
A plain bowl of stew-y beans can be a spiritually nourishing dish, as well as being good eating that costs pennies. A roast chicken is the dish I prepare for myself when I'm most frightened, because a roast chicken provides tangible evidence that I went to some trouble to care for myself. The dishes you prepare don't have to be expensive or complicated. There are nearly 100 recipes in my book for honest, simple food.
That I could set about rebuilding my resilience—gaining the ability to get up after those hard punches—while spending just $40 a week on food should demonstrate to you that you can do so, too. It's not about the dollars, you see. It's about the kinds of foods you choose to prepare for yourself (and for whatever lucky family and friends happen to come your way).
So whether you have $40 a week to spend on food, or $80 or $200, spending it wisely will help you feel stronger and more confident. In my experience, cooking what you buy—transforming it into truly nourishing food—gives you a double return on your food dollars.
As I see it, when we allow other people to prepare our food, we surrender our resilience—starve it, if you will. Even if you pride yourself on not eating processed food, you have still surrendered a lot of your confidence in your ability to feed yourself to strangers' hands. Just think of all the processed or manufactured foods in your kitchen right now, including things like the peanut butter and canned broth in your pantry, the plastic tub of yogurt in the fridge, and even the ice cream in your freezer.
Psychologists say that we humans' most primal needs are food and shelter, in that order. Only after those two are met do we begin to think about that other primal need: sex. Food is so important to our sense of well-being that, until and unless we feel well-fed, we won't meet our most fundamental need.
There's a fair amount of hubbub that eating locally is just for the foodie elite. I am living proof that this isn't true, and the methods I used to keep good, local food on my table all year 'round will work for you too. Buying local food in season at a farmer's market or farm stand remains the least expensive way to provision yourself. Expect to pay more (sometimes much more) for locally and sustainably raised meat; use the savings from your produce purchases to buy it. And while you're at it, if you eat meat or fish, cut back to two or three days a week. Even a very tight budget can afford a weekly pound or two.
Here are a few more concrete tips to help you in your journey:
- Stop shopping on auto-pilot at the grocery store. Take a minute to consider where each item you're purchasing comes from, and whether its sources match up with your values.
- If you don't know how to do canning, learn. Knowing myriad ways to preserve food, as well as the pros and cons of each method, sustains your spirit twice: once in the work of doing, and again in the eating later.
- Think up 10 dishes you know you love and can prepare almost without thinking. Many of us eat the same 10 or 20 dishes in an unconscious rotation, so it shouldn't be hard. Then figure out how you can make them with honest, whole food—ideally fresh from someone's nearby garden or farm.
- Know that, like all humans, you're going to get hungry at least 21 times a week, and plan for that. Once you've thought that through, you will have breakfast, lunch and dinner under control, and you won't be tempted by less nourishing choices—including those "healthy" organic potato chips you picked up at Whole Foods for a special treat.
- Expand your knowledge of herbs and spices. Certain herbsnd seasonings "make" a dish French, or Mexican, or Moroccan, and once you know the flavor profiles of different cuisines, you can pull an interesting meal together quickly and easily. There's tarragon, thyme and rosemary for French; cumin, cilantro and citrus juices for Mexican; cinnamon, cumin and saffron for Moroccan, and so on.
- Enjoy the process. Cooking is sensual, and sensual pleasures also feed your self-reliance and resilience. They remind you that you are indeed human, and that, like all other humans, you are created to survive.
Because you will. You will survive, no matter how hard you've been punched. But you'll heal faster and more thoroughly if you have some well-fed resilience on your side.

In the meantime, here's a recipe—one that's high on my personal list of the many I can't wait to try.
Peppery Cherry Spoon Bread
from The Feast Nearby, by Robin Mather (Ten Speed Press, 2011)
Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish
2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, such as kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped dried cherries
4 large eggs, separated
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Combine the milk, cornmeal, butter, sherry, salt, red pepper, and oregano in a saucepan and mix well. Bring just to a boil over medium heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese and cherries. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes, until slightly cooled.
Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. Stir them into the cornmeal mixture. Beat the egg whites is a bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Stir one-third of the egg whites into the cornmeal mixture until well mixed. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites with a few quick strokes; some white streaks will remain. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned and the center is slightly loose (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean). Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Campaigners issue rotting rubbish warning
Move to cut bin collections in bid to cut amount of waste sent to landfill is drastic and unhygienic, says pressure group. Campaigners are warning that rubbish will be left rotting in the streets if local authorities switch from fortnightly bin collections to once a month in a bid to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. An investigation by ITV's Tonight programme found that nearly two-thirds of UK homes now have bins collected every fortnight, while five councils in England and Wales had reduced landfill waste collection to once every three weeks.

Housing activity 'solid' despite Brexit
Despite continued residential activity, the rate of growth slowed slightly when compared with the previous month. The Markit construction Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) increased from 52.3 to 52.6 in October as a result of housebuilding activity. The months leading up to the EU referendum in June recorded low readings, as companies opted for caution. In the months after the vote, input costs rose, but this is suspected to be due to the weaker pound sterling. Housing activity remains the driving force behind the growth in the construction sector in October. …

Davina McCall has admitted she doesn't drink alcohol in case it leads her back into drug addiction.
The TV star – who has been open about her past battle with drugs – told The Guardian that if she were to have a drink at a party she fears she might spiral into using other substances.
She said: "I can still spot people going into the toilet in twos. I can see hand gestures, I can see packets being passed to each other, I can see it from a million miles. If I'm sober, I just think, oh, good for you.
"If I'm drunk, I'd be thinking, I wonder if I could just go and hang out, and if somebody asks me or invites me in, then I'm powerless and I should just say yes. That's what I'd be thinking, I would. Some people maybe can start drinking again, but I just know that I can't."
Davina, 46, started taking drugs in her teens and by her 20s was using heroin.
"Drink and drugs helped me feel glacially cool. Drugs helped me stop feeling so insecure about what people thought about me. And I really cared what people thought," she said.
She revealed that family friend Eric Clapton talked her into getting help and she has been sober since she was 25.
For a while she thought she could still drink alcohol, but Davina then realised she had to give up everything for good.
"Alcohol just leads me to drugs, because my willpower completely goes out the window," said the mum-of-three.

I am mad. I am hurt. Lip tie....
My son is 12 mths old. When he was born he latched on at only a few minutes old, he nursed for about an hr right away! I felt like I knew what I was doing, I felt like I had it down...afterall, DD was only weaned a few mths before he was born. But as the weeks and months went by we had such a difficult time nursing! He would latch, then unlatch and yell. He would kick and scream and fight me! He HATED to nurse. I talked to his ped, I talked to a LC. I read online. He seemed to have signs of colic, he was a low weight baby (but dd was/is by nature so we assumed he was just tiny too and he may be...17lbs at 12 mths old isn't too bad)
At 5 mths old I was so sleep deprived. I was dealing with ppd with a baby who had colic. No one was sleeping because all he did was CRY!!!! He was a VERY fussy baby. He has been the hardest baby I have ever known (after watching tons of babies and knowing lots of them and having a dd before him) We gave up nursing and just gave him a bottle which he did better with and seemed happier with.
A few days ago some friends on fb were asking about lip tie. Then one posted a pic of her sons and it hit me like a ton of bricks! My son has a big gap between his teeth...let me check. Sure enough, he seems to have a tie going all the way between his teeth and connecting to the roof of his mouth. Dr. Google tells me this is the worst kind of lip tie (most severe) and that he possibly has posterior tongue tie as well since they seem to go hand in hand.
Ryan is our last baby. For 5 mths I FOUGHT him to nurse. He hated me for it. He would yell and scream and kick and hit and bite and scratch and twist and turn. I was in tears every time I tried to feed him. I felt like a failure for quitting and 7 mths later have finally started to feel a tad better about it. But now...now I am HURT! I am MAD! Why did no one see this? I didn't know what to look for...but his ped and the LC should have, right? I feel betrayed. But most of all....I feel totally jipped out of my little nursling! I am all for extended nursing. My daughter stopped when I got preggo with ds on her own at 11.5 mths old. I was sad....but she didn't want mama milk anymore when I got preggo. And then my baby...my little boy....had a problem that made nursing hard for him and I DIDN'T SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!
So please....what do we do now? He has a nice big gap between his front teeth and I know it could affect speech but we don't know that yet. I don't wanna wait until his speech is screwed up before we do something for him. Should we correct it? What exactly happens? Is it pretty bad or very minor?
His is bad according to Dr. Google. His connects all the way to the roof of his mouth. How did I not notice???
Re: I am mad. I am hurt. Lip tie....
Been there. Except mine didn't latch... I pumped for 4 months trying to get him to latch.
I didn't find out he had a lip tie until he was 9 months old. This would not have made a difference for us, I would not have clipped it. well, actually maybe I would have switched to formula sooner and saved my mental health. I did know that he had a posterior tongue tie. He has a small gap in his teeth, though he did have the most severe lip tie. Don't do anything, he will probably tear it on his own. That sounds terrible I know, but he'll bump himself or something most likely. Mine fell down a few weeks ago and tore it. it bled a little and he cried, but it wasn't a huge deal. If you leave it alone, it will likely do that. But, if it doesn't, he could have gapped teeth and in rare situations speech issues. But that's not likely. I'd leave it alone, and then if it's still around when he is older, reassess.

Re: I am mad. I am hurt. Lip tie....
My daughter has a bad lip tie. We have had trouble breastfeeding. I noticed it at ten months old. She is seeing a dentist this week and I'm going to get her opinion on it. I hate the big gap (even though it's cute)
I never noticed it either though, so don't feel bad.

Re: I am mad. I am hurt. Lip tie....
My 3 year old has a severe one, ties to his upper palate. We discovered it after he weaned, which was around 18 months. He got teeth very late, only starting at 14 months, so we would have never noticed it (other than an incredibly painful 18 months of nursing!)
Unfortunately current medical advice is usually if they have weaned, they need to wait until the permanant teeth are coming in to clip it, if it doesn't tear on its own before then. If you clip it prior, it can and often reforms, just like scar tissue. Then, you have to do surgery twice (which requires general anesthesia for the older toddlers, infants usually don't require it). We consulted with a peditrician, dentist and an ENT. I am watching for speech delays, but so far he is just as chatty as his sisters
Had we caught it as an infant I would have done it, but I didn't even know it was a problem since his teeth were in late. I will say, at 2 years old the gap in his teeth was huge, now at age 3 it is barely noticible, as he has gotten older, and the teeth bigger, it is thinning the tie by a lot, so hopefully the surgery will be less tissue to clip if it hasn't resolved itself when he is older.

Re: I am mad. I am hurt. Lip tie....
Shannon. I don't have much for advice, but I'd take him to the Dr and tell them they need to check this out and do something about it. Don't ask if they think he has it, tell them he does and that you want it corrected.

I've never heard the "wait til they have their permanent teeth" advice. Their are specialists who work with TT/LT almost exclusively. Most peds and even lc's miss posterior TT which almost always goes hand in hand with upper lip tie. The lip tie was prob not the issue, but a tongue tie. Many pediatric dentists miss this. I strongly recommend joining the fb group I told you about, msg me and I'll give you the name of my friend.

Hugs.... I took my dd to an ENT when she was a few weeks because I felt she was tongue tied, he said no. So I dropped it. We had a very difficult time nursing and she self weaned at 6 months. At her 2 yo well baby her pediatrician told me she is lip tied. How the HE-DOUBLE HOCKEYSTICKS did the ENT not notice this! Ugghhhh
Good luck.

Re: I am mad. I am hurt. Lip tie....
I'm sorry that you are hurting over your nursing experience.
DS3 has a severe lip tie and mild tongue tie. Thankfully nursing is going well but there was a time that I was researching procedures regarding his lip. For me, the aftercare that I would have to do to the wound was enough for me to decide not to do anything.
Also, both our Ped. and Ped. Dentist do not recommend doing anything.
Sounds like you are now at a place where you have to do your own research and make the decision that is best for you and your LO.

Geneva, 22 March 2014, in celebration of World Water Day, UNOSAT is thrilled to announce the release of its first hydrogeological map of Chad, produced in the context of the RésEAU project – Cartography of water resources in Chad
As highlighted by the Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon: "Water holds the key to sustainable development". This is particularly true in Chad, which faces extreme weather conditions, varying between a very arid climate in the North and floodplains in the South. Better knowledge of groundwater resources and their interaction with rainwater is essential to ensure optimal management.
The RésEAU project stems from this observation and brings together the Ministry of Rural and Urban Hydraulic (MHRU) and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). UNITAR, and more specifically UNOSAT, has been mandated by the SDC to implement the activities, namely the creation of the Information System for Water Resources (SIRE) database and the delivery of GIS and hydrogeology capacity development programmes in Chad. The project, begun in April 2012, is expected to last 3 years.
Two sets of hydrogeological maps will be available for Chad by the end of the project: one hydrogeological reconnaissance map on a 1:500,000 scale and one more precise set of maps on a 1:200,000 scale detailing local realities. After two years working on the project in Chad and in Switzerland, the various teams of experts involved in the project have developed a methodology coupling well and borehole data with satellite imagery to separate, on a regional scale, aquifer formations from those with little or no water potential.
The pilot map, showing the 'Wadi Fira' region of Chad, is a hydrogeological reconnaissance map on a 1:500,000 scale and served as a template for the methodology; the back of the map includes an exhaustive explanatory note and synoptic maps that allow the user to understand the context of available water resources.
"With this map being printed by our partner swisstopo, the Federal Office of Topography, the RésEAU project has entered a new phase spanning until June 2015, during which time 35 maps will be produced representing Northern and Eastern Chad" says Olivier Senegas, Project Leader of RésEAU within UNOSAT.
All of the current knowledge made available to national decision makers will facilitate the development of cross-sectoral and interministerial policies that will aim to cement long term, durable water resource management.

Proposed Asynchronous Control Flow Operators
From Erights
TODO possibly there should be per-operator pages.
This page describes some not implemented asynchronous control flow operators that could simplify creation of asynchronous application. The intial set of operators is based on experience of implementing the AsyncObjects framework and Sebyla project design.
This is an extremely simple construct. But is useful when it is required to execute code in this or other vat at some later time. In AsyncObjects this constructs is implemented using AsyncAction class, and it was used quite a lot in applications.
"later" ( "(" <vatHandle> ")" )? "->" "{" <code> "}"
When code is executed in other vat, the runtime checks that code closes only over deep frozen or pass by copy objects. If vat is not specified, the code is scheduled to be executed at later turn in this vat. The vatHandle is an expression that evaluates to capability of executing actions on the vat.
This is a very simple construct that helps with resource management. The syntax is like the following:
"using" "(" ( ("def" <varName> ":=" )? <eventualOpenExpression> )+ ")" "->" "{" <statements> "}"
The operator is executed as the following:
- All resources are opened in the specified order. If expression returns promise, the next expression is not executed before first one complete. If <varName> is specified for resource, the resolved resource is assigned to it and it can be used in subsequent expressions and <statements>.
- If opening of some resource fails, the proposed result of operator is that failure.
- Statements are executed, the proposed result of operator is value of last expression. If the result is promise, the operator waits until it is resolved.
- All opened connections are closed, in reverse order. It includes connections that has not been named. If some close operations fail, the most top level one is returned.
using(def r1 := factory1<-openConnection(), def r2 := factory2<-openConnection(), lock<-lockEnter()) -> { doSomething(r1,r1) # assuming that lock is being held }
The constructs expands to the following:
when(def r1 := factory1<-openConnection()) { when(def r2:= factory2<-openConnection()) { when( def tmpVar := lock<-lockEnter()) { doSomething(r1,r1); } finally { tmpVar<-close(); } } finally { r2<-close(); } } finally { r1<-close(); }
The are several form of seq operator. The basis form is the following.
"seq" ("def" <varName> ":=")? "{" <statements-1> "}" ( "then" ("def" <varName> ":=")? "{" <statements-i> "}" ) * ( "catch" "(" <exceptionVar> ")" "{" <catchStatements> "}" )? ("finally" "{" <finallyStatements> "}")?
The code is executed like the following:
- The code in <statements-i> is executed sequentially. The next code block is executed only if promise returned from previous code block is resolved. If the block yields near value, the next block is executed on the same turn.
- The result of operator is the value of the last block.
- If some of blocks fails, the next blocks are not executed, and control is passed to the catch section and the result of operator will be the result of executing catch statement. If there is no catchSection, the operator fails with expression.
- If there is a finally statement, it is executed after last block or after catch statement. If it fails, the entire seq expression fails with the same exception.
seq def a := { doA() } then { doSomething(a) } catch(e) { print(e) throw e } finally { cleanup() }
Example is expanded as the following:
when(someTempResolvedPromise) { def aVow := { doA(); } when (def a := aVow) { doSomething(a); } } catch(e) { print(e) throw e } finally { cleanup() }
There is also a short form:
"seq" "(" ("def" <varName> ":=" )? <eventualExpression> ( "," ("def" <varName> ":=" )? <eventualExpression> )* ")"
The comma separated expressions are executed in sequence. The named values are available at later expressions. The are three loops forms:
"seq" "do" "{" <statements> "}" "while" "(" <eventualExpressions> ")" "seq" "while" "(" <eventualExpressions> ")" "{" <statements> "}" "seq" "for" <pattern> "in" <collection> "{" <statements> "}"
The semantics is the same as for normal loops. The next iteration starts only after previous completed. TODO it might be useful to keep intermediate results of previous iteration and to make them available in the body of the loop and conditions. On other hand, it is quite easy to use basic seq operator to achieve the same result. TODO "seq for" needs support for eventual iterators.
This operator allows execution of eventual expressions in parallel. The basic form is the following:
"all" "{" <expression> "}" ( "and" "{" <expression> "}" )+
The short form is the following:
"all" "(" <expression> ( "," <expression> )+ ")"
Semantics is the following:
- All expressions starts to be executed.
- If all expressions completed successfully, a list of results is returned.
- If at least one expression fails, an exception that contains generated results and failures is generated.
all { first() } and { second() }
It is translated like the following:
{ var wereFaults = false; var results = makeFlexList(); results.setSize(2) var faults = makeFlexList(); faults.setSize(2) def vow1 := seq def r: = { first() } then { results[0] := r } catch(e) { wereFaults = true faults[0] := e null } def vow2 := seq def r: = { second() } then { results[1] := r } catch(e) { wereFaults = true faults[1] := e null } when (def v1:=vow1, def v2:=vow2) { if(wereFaults) { throw makeAllFault(results,faults) } else { results.toConsList() } } }
There is also a loop form that returns conslist of results.
"all" "for" <pattern> "in" <collection> " "{" <expression> "}"

Shortly after the horse and buggy went south.
Thank you for looking! Please feel free to comment. I was raised on a horse ranch where I learned the value of hard work and the taste of dirt. I spent my teens like most do, trying different jobs and meeting new friends. I started writing poetry after I settled down into the city life. I started to draw, eventually putting pictures to the words in my poems. Photography soon became my poetry in motion. I learned to use computer software to blend art, photos and words the way I wanted. My art has been shown/purchased at the Letterbox Gallery in Lumsden Saskatchewan. I am also working on two books which I hope to have completed soon. The next step is getting the books into film. I have five poems published in two different books called...

Markakis, Dickerson lift O's over Tigers
Baltimore, MD – Nick Markakis hit a solo shot and Chris Dickerson delivered the game-winning three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Detroit Tigers, 7-5, in the opener of a three-game series at Camden Yards.
Jose Valverde (0-1) came on to pitch the ninth for the Tigers, but gave up a leadoff home run to Markakis, followed by back-to-back singles by Adam Jones and Chris Davis. He got Matt Wieters and Jeff Hardy to pop out but with two outs, Dickerson hammered a 2-1 pitch to right to give the Orioles their sixth win in eight games.
"I was just hoping he would throw me another good one after I missed the first one," said Dickerson. "I just told myself to be a little bit shorter and get the bat on it. It was pretty cool to get my first career walk-off."
Jones had a two-run home run while Wieters contributed with an RBI for the Orioles. Starter Miguel Gonzalez gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks over six frames. Darren O'Day (3-0) got the final out of the ninth to pick up the win.
Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer, Avisail Garcia had a solo shot and two RBI and Victor Martinez drove in one run for the Tigers, who are on a four- game losing streak.
Detroit starter Max Scherzer had 10 strikeouts and allowed three runs on three hits and two walks in eight innings.
"It's frustrating whenever you have a shot to win it in the ninth and to lose it like that is never fun," said Scherzer.
Cabrera's two-run blast came with out in the first, scoring Andy Dirks.
Jones and Davis connected on back-to-back singles to start the second. Wieters then hit a sacrifice fly to left, plating Jones. An inning later, Jones' two- run smash to center gave the Orioles a 3-2 lead.
Detroit tied the game in the fourth when Garcia's single scored Jhonny Peralta. In the fifth, Dirks and Cabrera hit back-to-back one-out singles and Prince Fielder walked. Martinez grounded into a fielder's choice but was able to bring Dirks home and the Tigers retook the lead.
Garcia extended the lead with a home run in the sixth, but the Tigers mustered just one more hit afterwards.
Meanwhile, after giving up the home run, Scherzer retired 16 straight batters. He was replaced by Valverde after throwing 119 pitches.
Game Notes
Miguel Cabrera has 61 RBI in 53 games this season. In 2012, he had 44 RBI after 53 games ... Manny Machado was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts ... Baltimore was 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position ... The Orioles have hit 48 homers in May, second-most in team history.

JANUARY 23, 2002 The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Announces September 11th Emergency Fund for Lower Manhattan Visual Arts Organizations
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts today announced a $650,000 emergency grant fund for New York City arts organizations that have suffered severe financial hardship in the wake of the September 11th attacks. The fund will offer $600,000 in grants ranging in size from fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars to twenty-nine small to midsized visual arts organizations located below 14th Street. These grants follow an earlier $50,000 award to the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, an arts group whose offices in the Trade Center complex were obliterated on September 11th.
Joel Wachs, the foundation's president, said: "with the establishment of this emergency fund for downtown New York visual arts organizations, the Andy Warhol Foundation reaffirms its deep and longstanding commitment to New York's cultural community. The emergency fund created by our board targets organizations that are doing tremendously valuable work in the community, but were very severely affected by the September 11th attack and the economic downturn it precipitated."
Mr. Wachs continued, "we hope, by making these grants, to draw attention both to the plight of these organizations, and to their importance to New York and New Yorkers. Arts organizations are absolutely vital to the health of the city, creating the rich cultural fabric that makes New York a great world capital, attracting visitors from all over, and enhancing the daily lives of city residents. They also represent the kind of free and diverse expression that makes America a beacon of liberty for people everywhere - and enrages those enemies of freedom who attacked our city on September 11th."
The emergency grants are for general operating expenses, and are intended to assist groups suffering from loss of revenue from lowered attendance, declining earned income, cuts in city and state funding, and other direct and indirect effects of the terrorist attacks. The twenty-nine organizations range in size from the New Museum to Dieu Donne Papermill, a small artist workspace on Broome Street. All either present visual art exhibitions or have facilities which are used by artists to create their work, and all have impressive track records in the field of contemporary art.
Mr. Wachs noted that the emergency fund monies are over and above the foundation's regular national grants program, which this year will exceed $5 million. He said that while many public funders and even some private ones have cut back on their grantmaking, the foundation wished to assure its grantees that its traditional program would continue at its usual pace, with the New York City emergency fund supplementing the regular national giving this year. "In these difficult economic times," he said, "we feel a stronger obligation than ever to support our core constituency: the visual arts groups across the country that do so much to enrich the lives of Americans and to enhance both this nation's culture and its economy."

Years before the accidental coal ash spill into the Dan River in February, the waste was being dumped into creeks, wetlands and vacant fields across the state.
Scores of private ash sites were originally proposed for legitimate construction use – such as building an airstrip or a parking lot – but the construction didn't always take place.
More than 70 ash sites statewide hold about 11 million cubic yards of ash, much of it used in building roads, parking lots and other projects.
But nearly a quarter of the waste sits at six of the largest sites, where about 2.6 million cubic yards of coal ash lies in unlined pits, largely unmonitored for potential groundwater contamination.

Over the years the sites have been cited by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources with violations for creating dust clouds, for being placed too close to water sources, and for ash erosion into water drainage areas. At one site the ash was dumped into a wetland area.
"When they said they had an end use, they didn't have an end use – it was a form of disposal," said Ellen Lorscheider, planning and programs branch head of the solid waste section within DENR. "There was abuse of our regulations – the coal was a disposal site they called structural fill."
As public officials grapple with a solution to safe coal ash storage, the focus has largely been on the future of the 33 ash pits and ponds at power plant facilities that are contaminating nearby groundwater. These sites are operated by Charlotte-based Duke Energy and its Raleigh-based subsidiary, Duke Energy Progress, formerly called Progress Energy.
But at the 70-plus ash sites throughout the state, many on private property in eastern North Carolina, are also drawing attention after years of neglect. Even where the ash was used as "structural fill" – to level roadways, for road beds and to stabilize soil under buildings – the concern doesn't go away.
Gov. Pat McCrory's proposed Coal Ash Action Plan, now under review by lawmakers in Raleigh, includes a temporary moratorium on the use of coal ash as structural fill in amounts of 5,000 cubic yards or more.
McCrory's coal ash proposal would also start regulating structural fill as landfilled solid waste. It would require state permits, leak-proof liners and groundwater monitoring for structural fill sites, none of which has been required in past years.
"Under current law, passed by previous administrations, there are more stringent requirements for the disposal of household garbage than there are for certain coal ash applications," said DENR spokesman Drew Elliot.
Undocumented sites
The state's six biggest ash dumps, including four about 90 miles northeast of Raleigh in Halifax County, contain anywhere from 10 times to 100 times more coal ash than is typically needed for construction. The six sites range in size from 127,176 cubic yards to 905,238 cubic yards, according to state records.
The structural fill sites documented by DENR were mostly built after North Carolina adopted regulations in 1994 to promote the "beneficial reuse" of coal ash as structural fill. The use of ash for construction fill is widely accepted and encouraged by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The state's structural fills contain coal ash disgorged by Duke and Progress and reused at their own power plants and other construction sites, as well as waste from smaller industrial operations. Duke once sold the ash for 50 cents to $1 a ton, but ash producers also paid to have it hauled away.
It's not clear how many total structural fill sites exist in the Triangle or statewide or where they are located, however, because sites built before the 1990s are not documented.
What is clear is that the state's historic dependence on coal as an energy source to generate electricity produced more ash than the construction industry could use. Duke and Progress for decades have stored excess ash on site in pits and lagoons.
Some enterprising locals saw an opportunity and agreed to haul ash away for a fee, hoping to find a buyer or to use it for development projects.
"It was just a great big huge hole there, and we filled it in," said Blackwell Bennett Pierce, owner of Utilities Transport, a trucking company that hauled coal ash between 2004 and 2007 to the Arthur's Creek disposal site in Northampton County, about 90 miles northeast of Raleigh. The site holds 480,612 cubic yards of ash, according to a county deed in the DENR records.
Plumbline Engineering, which designed the ash retention site, paid an administrative penalty of $9,154.88 in 2011 for a number of violations at Arthur's Creek that included erosion problems and coal ash washing into a nearby creek. DENR officials say the problems have been resolved.
"We thought maybe we might use it for something one day," Pierce said. "But there's no use for it. Nobody wanted it."
Research biologist Dennis Lemly, who works for Wake Forest University and the U.S. Forest Service, has studied the effects of coal ash contaminants and said dry ash storage sites are long-festering problems and overdue for stricter oversight.
"The two operative words are unregulated and mostly unmonitored," Lemly said. "It raises the larger underlying issue with the state regulatory system."
Problems in Nash since 2002
A Nash County site called Swift Creek has caused the most chronic environmental headaches. It accepted coal ash for more than a decade through 2003 and resulted in contamination of lead, arsenic and sulfates in shallow groundwater, a problem still awaiting a solution.
DENR on May 16 gave the site's operators 90 days to come up with groundwater corrective measures. The agency first cited Swift Creek for violations back in 2002.
Resolving ash-related problems can take years because DENR doesn't issue permits for structural fill sites and has limited authority to regulate ash disposal, Lorschneider said. Additionally, the projects involve a host of conflicting interests: engineers, property owners, ash haulers and dust suppressors.
"They are fighting among themselves as to who should take responsibility for it," Lorschneider said.
Swift Creek began accepting ash in 1992, but environmental regulators didn't realize the extent of the problems there until 2002, when Swift Creek project operators notified DENR they planned to expand the site to accept more ash. That's when state inspectors noticed that the 2002 plans didn't match the original 1991 plans, and that the ash had been dumped into a drainage area and was soaking in water, which causes leaching of toxic chemicals.
The facility operators agreed to install groundwater monitoring wells in 2005, which confirmed suspicions that the ash was percolating chemicals. By then the site contained 134,000 cubic yards of ash.
In 2006, the site operators paid a $4,000 administrative penalty and submitted a dewatering plan to dry out the ash. That plan, which diverts a drainage channel, has largely worked, but the chemicals remain in the groundwater.
A July 2013 groundwater monitoring report by Sherrill Environmental of Durham said the eight water samples showed no contamination of coal ash chemicals in deep groundwater monitoring wells.
The companies that worked the Swift Creek project were ReUse Technology, the broker that filed the 1991 notification of the project, and Full Circle Solutions, which bought the site from ReUse in 2003, according to DENR records. Full Circle CEO Robert Waldrop, who is based in Georgia, did not respond to questions about Swift Creek development plans for the structural fill or why the problems are taking so long to resolve.
Full Circle's lawyer, David Franchina in Charlotte, said by email the companies and their consultants had been working with DENR for 10 years and plan to resolve the issues.
Company denies liability
The ash at Swift Creek came from Cogentrix, a Charlotte energy company that operated small coal-burning power plants throughout North Carolina. The Cogentrix power plants sold electricity to large utility companies for years, but Cogentrix has since sold off the plants, and some have been converted to other fuel sources.
When it owned the plants, Cogentrix had the ash hauled away and has washed its hands of any liability.
"The transfer of responsibility would take place when the materials go into the contractor's vehicle," said Cogentrix spokesman Jeff Freeman. "We're out of it completely."
State regulations require that structural fill proposals must submit a notice to DENR and be constructed safely to prevent erosion. They can't be put within 50 feet of a wetland or stream, within 100 feet of a drinking water source, and within 2 feet of the seasonal high groundwater table.
State regulations also prohibit speculatively storing coal ash for some potential future use. Speculative storing can be avoided if at least 75 percent of the ash is used or sold every year for beneficial reuse in construction projects.
Henry Long, part owner of the Arthur's Creek property, said he was paid an average of $1,400 a month to accept ash at the site from the Roanoke Valley Energy power plant owned by the Westmoreland Coal Co. His responsibility was watering and dust suppression of the ash, and in the 1990s he said he hauled ash for Pierce's trucking company.
"When you dump that stuff out, it's like talcum powder almost," Long said.
DENR citations
After a local farmer complained in 2006, DENR slapped Long and Plumbline with a Notice of Violation for "creating a very large dust cloud of coal ash."
DENR's second citation, in 2009, noted "coal ash stockpiled on the property," and described that ash south of the pile "occupied an extensive wetland area measuring 2 to 3 inches in depth."
Samples taken from the wetland area "revealed high levels of arsenic, calcium, selenium and iron," according to DENR documents.
Agency spokeswoman Susan Massengale said the groundwater at Arthur's Creek has not been tested.
Russell Henry Grant, who did surveying work for Plumbline Engineers on structural fill sites, said some of the ash in Halifax County was beneficially reused for construction in the 1990s – a Family Dollar, a fire station in Weldon, a Basnight building supply store and an overpass for N.C. 125.
But then DENR inspectors started visiting the ash sites and citing violations, said Grant, who is part-owner of the Arthur's Creek property.
"We weren't getting paid enough to handle all the problems," Grant said. "Everyone just kind of ran when DENR started issuing violations. Everyone's scared of it."
Charlotte Observer staff writer Bruce Henderson contributed to this report.

Narlıkuyu is a coastal town in Cilician Mountains region, southern Turkey.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
The town centre lies on the former winding and narrow highway closely following the coast, about 1 km south of the current highway. Many side streets link each other.
Heaven and Hell chasms and the Asthma Cave is located about 3 km north of the (current) highway. There is no public transport to there from the town centre, or from the highway junction for that matter, but you can walk that gently-ascending slope or try hitchhiking. When coming in from out of town (from Mersin, for example) ask to be dropped off at Cennet-Cehennem (pronounced jayn nayt jay hayn naym) to get off at the junction of the road leading to the chasms instead of the town centre. There is also a carpark free of charge at the entrance of the site.
See[edit][add listing]
The main attraction of the town is Heaven and Hell chasms (Cennet-Cehennem) and the Asthma Cave, all located very near each other. The cliff of Heaven will welcome you to this area which overlooks the sea from a distance. A joint ticket for both the Heaven and Hell chasms costs 5TL.

Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
Narlıkuyu is known for its fish restaurants by the shore, visited by many people from Mersin during weekends to have a meal accompanied by a glass of rakı. Hacı Amca'nın Yeri is one of such restaurants, a very cool place with fresh fish and very tasteful arugula salad.
Along the road to Heaven-Hell, there are a number of open-air "restaurants" consisting of replicas of the tents of local nomadic Yörük tribes. Most offer Turkish cheese-pancake (gözleme) and ayran, the yoghurt drink.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Local foamy yayık ayranı, produced with the ancient way of churning, has some level of fame and is quite refreshing on a hot day. There is a road-side stall on the corner where the uphill road to Heaven-Hell branches off the main highway, which offers a pint of icy yayık ayranı for 3 TL.

"Why me?"
"They asked for someone like you. Because you understand both worlds and the powers that be think you can help in steering this Brunello misunderstanding towards a quick resolution."
Bisanzio was a great friend of my uncle, who was in the Italian wine business many years ago. He is highly placed in the inner-circle of business and government in Tuscany, though most people don't know him outside of his sphere of influence. That's the way things work in Italy.
So, I will arrive a little later than usual for Vinitaly. I am packing and leaving for a quick plane to London in the morning and a hopper to Pisa. Selected members of the Italian press will be there, along with journalists from Germany, Holland and Denmark. There will also be Italian and EU officials, along with a bevy of lawyers, and a politician or two.
Apparently there will be a press conference and I have to be there in time for it, which will be on Wednesday at noon, Italian time.
I cannot tell you anymore about what this is about. All I can say, there is a sense of urgency.
I'm going in. Wish me luck.

It might be hard to imagine a scenario where the blind could drive safely, where distractions on the road would not be an issue, and even where fuel consumption could be lowered by a computer-operated car which could stop and go more efficiently than a human driver – but Google's autonomous driving technology could make all of that possible. Google has seven cars (six Priuses and one Audi TT) equipped with radars, lasers and access to a sophisticated database of road information, which have now amassed a combined 200,000 miles of on the road! To celebrate this milestone Google has released a video which introduces us to Steve Mahan, a man with 95% vision loss, as he runs errands in one of their "driverless" cars.
The video makes for pretty extraordinary viewing. The car's steering wheel and pedals work independent of human intervention as the car navigates a pre-programmed route of winding roads, stop signs and a Taco Bell drive through. The video is both astonishing and moving, as Mahan explains the car's potential to change his life, by enabling him to go to the places he both wants and needs to go, independently.
Google described the drive with Mahan as "a technical experiment" adding "we think it's also a promising look at what autonomous technology may one day deliver if rigorous technology and safety standards can be met." This is an important distinction to make, and the car has a manual override, initiated by turning the steering wheel or pushing on the brake. It's a vital safety feature for a car which relies on computer systems which are known to be unreliable at times. And even that manual intervention may not have prevented one of the Google Self-Driving Cars from becoming involved in (or the cause of) an accident last year.
A technician sits in the passenger seat next to Mahan to monitor the car's navigation system, which taps into "detailed maps to navigate the road ahead. This is all made possible by Google's data centers, which can process the enormous amounts of information gathered by our cars when mapping their terrain," described Sebastian Thurn, Google's distinguished Software Engineer.
This artificial intelligence software is the car's most vital element, and could be the next big thing on Google's ever expanding horizon. At a recent Business Week event, VP of local, maps and location services Marissa Mayer explained "A lot of people ask us what driverless cars have to do with Google, and the truth is, when you're driving a car, you're getting 400 different inputs," Mayer said. "Figuring out the right input and integrating that into the appropriate driving behavior is just a search problem and just a way of integrating an answer." This intuition could be applied to "a different kind of search that's more futuristically oriented for a person… to predict and suggest" answers before a question has even been asked. If it can pass Google's Spooky Sniff Test, that is.

How is the force due to Z piezo motion determined?
Hello, Can you please tell me how the force due the Z piezo motion can be found when the Z piezo motion is arbitrary. In the VEDA manual (http://nanohub.org/resources/15166/download/VEDA_Manual.pdf), this force (referred to as F_i^Z) is determined for the special case when the Z piezo is moving with constant velocity (Eq. 109-110).
This question arises for the case when the Z piezo movement is generated by a PI controller in a feedback loop, as illustrated in Fig. 88 of the same manual.
Thank you.

The weather pattern has shifted, and that means less rain, more chills, says Atmospheric Scientist Cliff Mass, of the University of Washington.
The pattern is giddy news for mountain ski areas, all of which should be open with light, fluffy snow this weekend, he says.
Don't worry, though, the snow should stay away from the Puget Sound lowlands, although the higher foothills may get a dusting tonight or Saturday morning.
And if you're starting to get the winter glumness, complaining about persistent rain, Mass has an argument for why it's not as bad as you think, in this week's conversation (click the "listen" button above).
The weekly KPLU feature "Weather with Cliff Mass" airs every Friday at 9 a.m. immediately following BirdNote, and repeats twice on Friday afternoons during All Things Considered. The feature is hosted by KPLU's Science and Health reporter Keith Seinfeld.

24 Kan. App. 2d 441
No. 77,050
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. INMAN STANDIFER, Appellant.
1. An illegal sentence may be corrected at any time.
2. An appellate court may accept jurisdiction of a mislabeled motion if to do so would be in the interest of justice.
3. Pure legal questions raised for the first time on appeal may be addressed to serve the ends of justice and to prevent a denial of fundamental rights.
4. The rational basis test should be applied to determine whether a provision of the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution or § 1 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights.
5. Under Kansas law, the statutory penalty in effect at the time a crime is committed is the penalty to be imposed. This rule serves legitimate governmental interests and does not violate concepts of equal protection.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; DAN BROOKS, judge. Opinion filed October 10, 1997. Affirmed.
Ryan Kipling Elliot, assistant appellate defender, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
Charles R. Reimer, assistant district attorney, Nola Foulston, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before KNUDSON, P.J., STEPHEN D. HILL, District Judge, assigned, and PAUL E. MILLER, District Judge, assigned.
KNUDSON, J.: Inman Standifer appeals from the district court's denial of his motion to convert sentence ostensibly filed pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4724(d)(1). The district court summarily dismissed Standifer's motion for lack of jurisdiction because it was not filed within 30 days after issuance of a sentencing guidelines report from the Department of Corrections (DOC).
The district court erred. A panel of this court recently held that a pro se motion for conversion of sentence filed out of time under K.S.A. 21-4724(d)(1) should be considered by the district court as a motion filed under K.S.A. 60-1507. State v. Harlin, 23 Kan. App. 2d 800, 801-02, 936 P.2d 292 (1997). Starting from this premise, we turn to the underlying circumstances of this litigation before deciding what relief, if any, should be afforded Standifer.
On April 17, 1993, Standifer committed several crimes, including possession of cocaine, a class C felony (K.S.A. 65-4127a). On October 21, 1993, he was sentenced to a controlling term of 3 to 10 years and placed on probation for 2 years. As required under K.S.A. 21-4724(f), the district court also determined the appropriate guidelines sentence would be 18 months, with a postrelease supervision period of 12 months. This guidelines sentence was based upon Standifer falling within the 4E grid block for drug offenses.
On March 4, 1994, Standifer's probation was revoked. Inexplicably, DOC then prepared a sentencing guidelines report notwithstanding the district court had already determined the appropriate guidelines sentence when Standifer was originally sentenced. Under such circumstances, he was not entitled to the conversion procedures provided under K.S.A. 21-4724(c) and (d). See State v. Fierro, 257 Kan. 639, 649-50, 895 P.2d 186 (1995). This strongly suggests that if Standifer were challenging the computation of his guidelines sentence, a timely and direct appeal from the sentencing hearing of October 21, 1993, would be required. But the issue Standifer now raises has nothing to do with the computation of sentence.
Standifer contends that he is being subjected to an illegal sentence because the prospective imposition of the 1996 amendments to the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act (KSGA) violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and § 1 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights. An illegal sentence may be corrected at any time. See K.S.A. 22-3504(1); State v. Hooks, 256 Kan. 869, 870, 888 P.2d 853 (1995). Our appellate courts have previously accepted jurisdiction of mislabeled motions in the interest of judicial economy and, where only a pure question of law is at issue, resolved the issue without remand to the district court. State v. Randall, 257 Kan. 482, 486, 894 P.2d 196 (1995). See also State v. Bell, 258 Kan. 123, 126, 899 P.2d 1000 (1995) (holding that pure legal questions raised for the first time on appeal may be addressed to serve the ends of justice and to prevent denial of fundamental rights). We conclude Standifer's mislabeled motion should be treated as a K.S.A. 60-1507 motion and his equal protection argument considered by this court notwithstanding his failure to argue this issue before the district court.
The 1996 amendments to K.S.A. 21-4705(d) changed certain presumptive imprisonment boxes to "border boxes," thus making defendants who fall into one of those boxes and who commit crimes on or after July 1, 1996, eligible for an optional nonprison sentence. The 4E box on the drug grid is one of the new border boxes. Standifer argues that under an equal protection analysis the amendments should be given retroactive application. Standifer assumes that, if the amendments are given retroactive application, equal protection would likewise entitle him to conversion under K.S.A. 21-4724(b)(1) simply by virtue of being in a border box, despite the fact that K.S.A. 21-4724(b) was not amended to expand eligibility for conversion on the drug grid. We need not address this assumption, because we conclude that equal protection does not entitle Standifer to retroactive application of the 1996 drug grid amendments.
In State v. Ford, 262 Kan. 206, 209, 936 P.2d 255 (1997), the Supreme Court concluded the 1996 amendments were intended to only apply prospectively. A panel of this court reached the same conclusion in Comer v. State, 24 Kan. App. 2d 131, 134, 942 P.2d 658 (1997). However, in these decisions the underlying issue was one of statutory interpretation or construction. Neither case addressed the equal protection argument that is now before this court.
The Supreme Court in Chiles v. State, 254 Kan. 888, 901, 869 P.2d 707, cert. denied 513 U.S. 850 (1994), did address the issue of whether the provision of the KSGA which allowed limited retroactivity violated equal protection. The court first determined the appropriate level of scrutiny to be the rational basis test and then stated:
|With a rational basis review, relevance is the only relationship required between the classification and the objective. The constitutional safeguard is offended only if the classification rests on grounds wholly irrelevant to the achievement of the State's objective. Insofar as the objective is concerned, a statutory discrimination will not be set aside if any set of facts reasonably may be conceived to justify it. The legislature's purpose in creating the classification need not be established. The classification must, however, bear a rational relationship to a legitimate objective. The rational basis test contains two substantive limitations on legislative choice: (1) legislative enactments must implicate legitimate goals, and (2) the means chosen by the legislature must bear a rational relationship to those goals. These limitations amount to a prescription that all persons similarly situated should be treated alike." 254 Kan. at 895.
The Chiles court held that "[t]he 'more serious v. less serious offenses' classification involved in this case, for purposes of determining who will receive the benefits of retroactivity and who will not, is rationally related to the purpose of reducing the prison population while protecting public safety" and was, therefore, not violative of equal protection. 254 Kan. at 901.
In State v. Fierro, 257 Kan. 639, the Supreme Court considered whether K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-4724 was unconstitutional because it did not expressly provide a means of obtaining sentencing conversion for defendants who committed their crimes prior to July 1, 1993, but were sentenced after June 30, 1993. Fierro argued that a classification to determine sentencing conversion based solely upon the date of sentence would violate equal protection. The Supreme Court agreed and construed K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-4724 as providing convicted defendants sentenced after July 1, 1993, the same opportunity for retroactivity as offenders already serving their sentences. 257 Kan. at 647.
Standifer's argument now before us is distinguishable from the issue presented in Fierro because the suspect classification is based upon the date the offense was committed, not the date of sentence.
It is the general rule that the statutory penalty in effect at the time a crime is committed is the penalty that will be imposed, State v. Patterson, 257 Kan. 824, 825, 896 P.2d 1056 (1995), and "where the penalty for an offense has been changed by an amendment of the law since the offense is charged or proved to have been committed, the penalty imposed must be under the law as it stood when the offense was committed." State v. Johnson, 185 Kan. 1, 5, 340 P.2d 373 (1959). However, it is within the province of the legislature to reduce criminal penalties and provide for retroactive application, constrained only by the Constitutions of the United States and of the State of Kansas. Chiles, 254 Kan. at 897.
Standifer does not argue his sentence was inconsistent with the sentencing scheme in place at the time he committed the offense or was sentenced. He tacitly acknowledges the sentence he received was consistent with the sentence that could have been lawfully imposed upon any other defendant committing a like crime at that same point in time. Under these circumstances and the holding in Patterson, Standifer's claim is tenuous. We note that he has not cited authority from any jurisdiction holding that a legislative reduction of criminal penalties has equal protection implications for offenders previously sentenced. This lack of authority, notwithstanding the constant revisions of criminal codes by the legislatures of 50 states, is mute testimony as to the novelty of his argument. Moreover, other jurisdictions that have considered this issue have concluded there is no violation of equal protection.
In People v. Montoya, 647 P.2d 1203, 1205 (Colo. 1982), the defendant claimed that the prospective-only limitation of a sentencing statute constituted an unreasonable classification of offenders on the basis of the date of the offense in violation of equal protection. The Colorado Supreme Court applied the "rational basis" test and, in rejecting the defendant's claim, stated:
|"The state has a legitimate interest in maintaining finality of judgments as well as in providing for uniformity of punishment. Consequently, the fixing of punishments for offenders based upon the date on which their crimes were committed is reasonably related to these legitimate governmental interests and is not violative of equal protection of the laws." 647 P.2d at 1206.
In Meeks v. Jago, 548 F.2d 134, 138 (6th Cir. 1976), cert. denied 434 U.S. 844 (1977), the Court held that the defendant was not denied equal protection of the laws as long as the sentence was imposed according to the Ohio statute applicable at the time of sentence.
In McQueary v. Blodgett, 924 F.2d 829, 831 (9th Cir. 1991), the petitioner, McQueary, had been convicted of first-degree assault in August 1976. In his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, he asserted an equal protection violation because of the State's failure to reduce his sentence to a term consistent with the Washington Sentencing Reform Act of 1981. The 9th Circuit held that McQueary failed to present a bona fide equal protection claim, stating:
|"'There is no denial of equal protection in having persons sentenced under one system for crimes committed before July 1, 1984 and another class of prisoners sentenced under a different system. [Citation omitted.] The standard is of a rational relation to governmental purpose. [Citation omitted.] Improvement in sentencing is a rational governmental purpose.' [Citation omitted.]" 924 F.2d at 834.
We believe there is a common thread of reasoning in these various decisions. The State has an interest in maintaining stability in the sentencing process and a concomitant obligation to improve the criminal justice system. The rule that the criminal statute in effect at the time the crime was committed is the penalty to be imposed serves these legitimate governmental interests and does not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment or § 1 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights.

Why trail running?
Eco-Friendly and Outdoor activities are becoming more and more popular around the world. Running events have exploded in popularity during the last seven years in Thailand and more and more people are going back to nature and outdoor activities. Trail running is a new and very fast growing sport that integrates physical and mental endurance, the great outdoors and adventure.
When people think of running, they most often picture running on the road or running on a track. But, a lot of runners opt to run on hiking trails in natural settings. Trail running combines the beautiful outdoor scenery of hiking with the physical challenges of running. If you are the type that loves being in beautiful, outdoor settings, then trail running is something for you.
In addition to the regular running benefits such as improved fitness level and potential weight loss, trail running is also a lot better on the joints. Running on hard surfaces such as pavement and concrete can be tough on the bones and joints.

As NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Monday, impending free agent Joe Flacco is seeking a contract that will exceed Peyton Manning's annual salary of $18 million.
Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome confirmed Tuesday that Flacco will remain with the team next season. The only question is how long it will take before a lucrative long-term deal is reached.
"We'll be able to get that thing done," Newsome said. "But one thing we do know, he'll be playing football for us next year. And sometimes that's all you can look forward to is just next year."
According to CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora, the Ravens plan to use the $14.6 million franchise tag as a means of buying time until the July deadline for long-term contracts. La Canfora seconds Rapoport's sentiment that the durable and relatively young Flacco is more concerned with a high annual salary than upfront guarantees.
It seems that $20 million per year is Flacco's "magic number." If Newsome comes close to hitting that mark, "the happier (Flacco) will be and the more quickly this long-term deal will get done," La Canfora reported.
Elite or not, Flacco is going to be paid commensurate with the most successful playoff quarterbacks.

Tales for Tots Tuesday: Stanley's Party by Linda Bailey, Illustrated by Bill Slavin
Stanley is a good dog but his people go out a lot and don't return until midnight. Even a good dog can go astray in such circumstances.
First Stanley gingerly sits on the couch. "The couch was wonderful!"
Then Stanley does what he's seen his people do – listen to music, get food from the fridge.
Stanley is having oh so much fun!
But Stanley's people are still out all the time and he's lonely. So while visiting the dog park one day, Stanley invites his friends over to share in his fun. First it's just Alice, then Oscar and before Stanley knows it, he's extended the invitation to Mabel, Digger and Gassy Jack as well.
Well, news of Stanley's party gets out in the dog neighbourhood and not only do Stanley's friends show up but also some strangers. "Stanley wasn't worried. 'The more the merrier!' he said."
It's the "best dog-gone party a dog ever had!" That is until Stanley's people arrive home early and find canine chaos in their home.
After two days of helping to clean up the house, Stanley has learned his lesson and so have his people – they never leave Stanley alone again.
But the legend of Stanley's party lives on!
Linda Bailey's engaging text and Bill Slavin's playful and funny images are a perfect combination in Stanley's Party. You can't help but laugh out loud at Stanley's laying belly-up on the couch and dancing about the house.
Bailey's description of Stanley's first climbing up onto the couch will ring familiar with any pet owner as will his innocent greeting upon his owners' return.
This is a book that adults will enjoy reading to children. The humor appeals to all ages as do the colourful and detailed images.
I highly recommend Stanley's Party particularly for kids in the 4 to 7 years old range. (And you'll hope the lesson from the story sticks with your children through the teen years!!)
If you find that you become of a big Stanley fan, Linda Bailey and Bill Slavin have also published Stanley's Wild Ride and Stanley at Sea. (Stanley's Beauty Contest is coming next month!!)
You can even print off Stanley stickers at the Kids Can Press site!
