Rutherford Ranch caretaker turns wood that burned around Julian into fanciful art
"It's what comes out of the wood," he said. "It's what comes out of nature that I see. It's not anything that I have in my mind. It's a union between it and me to make it come out. It's a lot of fun."
He is self taught. He likes to quote Thomas Edison when talking about some of the lessons he has learned as an artist: "I have not failed. I've only found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Inside yet another place that Madison owns — a farm house in Wynola that he has been fixing up for years where he plans to retire one day — is Madison's latest work: a 12-foot, 1,200-pound picnic table that has an intricately carved a grizzly bear's head at the front. The benches end in claws and paws, and hundreds of other details are contained within. He said he'll sell the table, the third bear table he's created, probably for $15,000 or $20,000 to a interested buyer, but it's not the money that drives him.
Often he creates art out of wood that burned in one of the fires around Julian that left hundreds homeless in the past decade.
"A lot of people here in Julian, their homestead's burned or their ranches burned. We'll take a stump from their front yard or a tree their grandfather planted and make a table for them, make a planter box for them, make a bar for them. It does mean something. They are very happy to get it and preserve it."
Completely unrelated to his art has been a gruesome job he takes seriously. It's been five years since the last time a plane crashed into Volcan Mountain, but for a long time the accidents happened frequently. Cessnas and other small planes, caught in bad weather, would get sucked down by offshore winds into the eastern side of the mountain's ridge.
"It's happened more times than it should," he said. No one knows the mountain better than Madison, and when a crash happens he is often the first person to find the wreckage and the bodies.
"I'm still in touch with the relatives of some of the kids that were killed up there," he said.
Recently he took the mother of a young woman that died in an accident to the crash site where she placed a plaque in her honor.
"It was just heart-rending and terrifying," he said. "But it's the least I can do to help them find where they are, or closure, or whatever it takes."
Madison's business card calls his art company Cedar Mountain (Mantels. Tables. Carved Wall Art). He can be reached at (760) 765-2145.

Lingmerth stands tall, falters at 18th
Posted: May 13, 2013 at 4:07 a.m.
Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia created drama on and off the TPC Sawgrass course during the Players Championship throughout the weekend, but it was David Lingmerth, a PGA Tour rookie who played at the University of Arkansas, who had the last shot at forcing a playoff with Woods on the 72nd hole at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

9/12/13 Angelina Close to Death??
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, September 12, 2013
Even MILEY CYRUS is tired of seeing herself with her tongue hanging out. During an interview on some French TV show, she said, quote, "It's getting a little old. I'm going to have to retire it!''
Are MILEY CYRUS and LIAM HEMSWORTH seeing other people? Sources say Miley is seeing producer (slash) rapper MIKE WILL.MADE.IT. And Liam might be enjoying some action from JANUARY JONES from "Mad Men". A source says, quote, "Liam and Miley haven't officially split, but it's over. It's just that neither wants to pull the trigger."
LIONEL RICHIE went through the ringer with his daughter NICOLE, so he feels BILLY RAY CYRUS' pain. He says, quote, "Dad to Dad, I've been Billy Ray. [Miley] is just going through a period in her life and we're actually going to grit our teeth and hold our breath. I did the same thing. It's one of those things where you have to say, 'Please God let it be over soon.' That's where she is in her space and this is her expression and that's what it's all about."
The "National Enquirer" says that LINDSEY VONN cheated on TIGER WOODS. So called "sources" say she made out with a guy backstage at a JAY Z / JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE concert on August 16th. He was in his mid-40s, and was somebody she already knew. Oh, and he was, quote, "gripping her rear end" during the makeout session.
The "National Enquirer" claims that ANGELINA JOLIE thinks she only has three to five years left to live, due to various health issues. A source says, quote, "Angelina is trying to live her life to the fullest . . . She's going to do everything she can to prolong her life but really believes she won't even reach her mid-forties." She's 38.
As far as we know, LINDSAY LOHAN is still sticking with this whole sobriety thing. Maybe she IS serious about it this time. In fact, the word is that she's spending $2,500 A DAY on a sober companion. She was spotted in New York City the other day with a guy who might just be that companion.

The One-Stop-Shop For All Things Spiritual
When church becomes something we do or a place that we go, instead of a people of God, than we are in serious trouble. I couldn't say it any better than the way Dan Kimball said it in his book The Emerging Church,
"If you woke up this morning and said I'm going to church today, you would actually be making a theologically incorrect statement. I [am] trying to get the point across that the church is not the building or the meeting. The church is the people of God who gather together with a sense of mission (Acts 14:27). The way leaders define church will determine how they measure success, where they focus their time and energy, how they design their strategies and form their ministry philosophies [emphasis mine]. Over time...the definition of the church itself [has become] a 'place where' idea instead of a 'people who are' reality.This is one area where I believe the emergent critique is right on. They see great problems in the megachurch/spiritual mall approach to church ministry, as do I. I will be calling it the "mall-ification" of the church. The mall-ification of the church comes about when we view the "church" (when in quotes I am referring to the organization & location, not the people) as the supplier/provider of all spiritual blessings.
In our desire to attract people to our churches, have we subtly taught that church is where you come to learn about how God can help you fix your problems? Where you come to have others teach your children about God for you? Where you come for your weekly feeding in the Word of God? Where you come for quality programs to help you live life better and develop a social network. Where you come to experience high quality worship music.
If the church has become the place instead of the people on a mission, leaders only naturally start focusing their efforts on what people experience when they come to the place on Sundays. In recent years, we have added the words excellence and relevance to our value statements for church. In doing so, we naturally began spending more time focusing on the quality of the music, sound system, and bulletins. As the church grows, the pressure to continue this focus increases and the problem escalates.
The phenomenon of church shoppers has profoundly shaped the contemporary church. The entire conversation is not about relevance but convenience. The focus is not in serving the world; the church itself became the focal point. If we don't build everything on the biblical definition of what church is, then we will simply be fueling the consumer mindset."

- Are you in need of exercise? Men's basketball meets every _____ & _____ nights in the gymnasium. Ladies jazzercise meets every _____ & ____ morning in the fitness center.
- Don't forget to stop by our Christian bookstore and pick up your latest Christian t-shirt, DVD, CD, bumper sticker, welcome mat, or bracelet. Also stop by our Christian Coffee House right here on campus to sample the latest Christian coffee in a Christian coffer mug or have a Christian Energy Drink. While seated on chairs made by our own Woodworking ministry, be sure to try a Christian Bagel or Christian Energy Bar made from ingredients straight from the Holy Land.
- Coming soon to our campus: Christian homes, apartments, and condominiums built by our own Home Building Ministry (all proceeds go to funding our summer camp and retreat center).
- Future plans for our campus include a Christian Grocery Store, Christian Pharmacy and we just struck a profit-sharing deal with Chick-Fil-A.
I know I am stretching this a wee bit, but just think about the schedule of the average megachurch/spiritual mall member or attender in America.
- Sunday: 8:00 AM - Sunday School (Discipleship); 9:00 AM - Worship Service; 6:00 PM - CLASS (Discipleship)
- Monday: 7:00 PM - Monthly Leadership Meeting (Training/Mentoring/Ministry)
- Tuesday: 6:30 PM - Visitation (Evangelism)
- Wednesday: 6:45 PM - Children & Youth Programs (Evangelism/Discipleship/Ministry)
- Thursday: 7:00 PM - Homegroup Bible Studies (Fellowship) OR Choir/Orchestra/Praise Team Rehearsal (Ministry/Worship)
- Friday: 7:00 PM - Men's Softball/Basketball/Soccer (Ladies have their exercise in the mornings during the week.)
- Saturday: This day is set aside as a family day in which the day is spent running errands, taking the children to soccer/football/baseball/volleyball/swimming/tennis/golf practice and getting them to their weekly church activity.
How are we teaching our people to be authentic Christians out in the real world? When do we have time to be authentic Christians in the real world? Where did all the salt and light go? Maybe they are all gathered together on a "church" property somewhere brainstorming, planning and praying for ways to get the unsaved to join them. In almost every city in America you can find at least one of these megachurch campuses. This philosophy is out there and maybe you are buying in. Do you dream of this type of "church"? I did not too long ago. What should we do about? I will try to give a few weak, humble and untested suggestions in my next post.
Disclaimer: This is not about size or numbers. It is not that large churches are evil and small churches godly. It is not that churches with large facilities are wicked or unbiblical. I am not against Christian businesses. I like eating at Chick-Fil-A. They have a great indoor playground and wonderful customer service. I am not against having a Christian bookstore or coffee house. I own Veggie Tales DVD's and a few Christian t-shirts. I love the guys at teampyro and I am not trying to suggest that they are wrong for selling "Christian" merchandise. This disclaimer does not cover all the things you might get offended about so please take this post in the sarcastic spirit it was written in.

New Black Box Theatre at Kwai Tsing Theatre
The new Black Box Theatre at Kwai Tsing Theatre offers a new theatrical experience with its black walls and high ceilings, movable stage lights and seating, a square black room with versatile and easy to change space to create an intimate atmosphere between audience and performers.
The new studio theatre is the first black box theatre at the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD)'s performing venues to meet the growing demand for holding small-scale and experimental theatrical productions among local and district-based theatre groups.
The Black Box Theatre, converted from the Exhibition Gallery at Kwai Tsing theatre, is suitable for different types of stage performances such as small-scale experimental shows, contemporary dance, film shows, recitals, jazz concerts, puppet shows and children's programmes.
The 350-square-metre theatre provides flexibility for different performance needs. With no permanent stage and loose chairs on platforms, the movable seating system, which is provided with a capacity of 104, 124 and 144 seats, allows variable seating configuration setup in-the-round, on the side, or thrust to bring the audience close to the performers.
Other facilities include flat black surface hardboard floor, sound acoustic wall panels, movable control panels, an overhead stage lighting trusses system that allows flexible rigging positions for stagelight lanterns to give flexibility in stage lighting design for theatre productions.
With a 5.7-metre ceiling, the theatre has the highest stage height clearance among small theatres in Hong Kong.
The new Black Box Theatre will enhance the creativity and innovation of the budding art groups and offer more opportunities for small groups to perform in the public.
With the completion of the construction works, which started in January, the theatre is now in various stages of testing its new facilities with commissioned programmes produced by art groups of different natures.
So far, four dance performances "We are not Strangers" produced by DanceArt Hong Kong were staged in early May while Theatre Horizon ran its drama performance "Defiance" in mid-May.
Another commissioning programme, "Somebody is Lonesome", a drama in Cantonese, produced by the Prospect Theatre will run from May 28 to June 1.
Black box theatres, originated in the USA, became popular and widespread in the 1960s and 1970s with the rise of experimental drama which employs very basic technical arrangements of limited sets and simple lighting effects.
The interior of most black box theatres are painted black to allow flexibility in stage setting and lighting for different types of performances. It also gives audiences a sense of "anyplace" when they are watching the show.
For enquiries on the Black Box Theatre, please call Kwai Tsing Theatre at 2408 0128.

Researchers at UC Berkeley have turned a benign virus into a tool that assembles structures similar to collagen--a process that could be used to create complex tissues such as corneas and bones.
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries constructed by a genetically modified virus would have the same capacity as batteries used to power hybrid cars, MIT researchers say.
Bacteriophages aren't as popular as antibiotics--but that could change, thanks to researchers.

'Glee': How was Ricky Martin's 'Spanish Teacher'?Add to Favorites | Glee
"Glee" got one thing right during "The Spanish Teacher" -- Ricky Martin is an extremely attractive man with a blindingly white smile. Unfortunately, most everything else about the episode was a mess. But since our parents taught us manners, let's talk about the good things first, shall we?
One: Martin was charming, gorgeous, beautiful and overall handsome. While the "Sexy and I Know It" cover was horrific (turns out an awful song just becomes worse when you toss some Spanish phrases in), we totally dug his "La Isla Bonita" duet with Santana. (Despite the fact that it's weird for grown men to sing romantic duets with teenage girls.) Plus, we're ecstatic that we don't have to pretend Will Schuester has any grasp of the Spanish language whatsoever anymore.
Two: Amber Riley has never looked more gorgeous, and why nobody has paid her to endorse something that requires her to smile a lot is beyond us.
Three: We really, really love Kurt and Finn's brotherly relationship. It's one of the more believable things that has happened on the show yet -- both of them were lonely and in need of a sibling bond. Way to go with the actual character development, writers!
Four: Emma's pamphlets are hilarious and we wish they were actually used in schools. Also hilarious? Nene Leakes. But only if they trot her out to be ridiculous every so often -- the joke will lose its luster FAST if they over-use her.
Now, onto the things we hated -- namely, everything else.
The main issue we're having with this episode is that literally nothing else happened aside from the introduction of Martin's David Martinez, and the entire "Will can't speak Spanish" plot was seemingly introduced as a device to get Martin on the show.
The "Sue Sylvester wants to be a mom" storyline could not be more ridiculous and unbelievable, especially when she asked teenage boys for their sperm and didn't get promptly fired. Maybe the writers were just sitting on a goldmine of sperm jokes they wanted to use?
The Mercedes/Sam thing yielded the only listenable songs of the episode (aside from that Madonna duet), but literally nothing new happened. Guess what? They're still pining for each other but Mercedes is still dating that other dude! As for Rachel and Finn, we're waiting until next week's big Valentine's Day episode to address their engagement because we have a feeling something's gonna hit the fan.
But we'll end on a good note: At least Santana pointed out how Will was perpetuating terrible stereotypes so it won't happen anymore.
What did you think of "The Spanish Teacher"?

I have lived here for 9 months and I am not at all impressed. For the first 5 months I lived with a broken dryer to which maintenance neglected to replace after 10+ visits to fix it. It is also supposed to be a gated community, however, the side gate is always open which made it a lot easier for my motorcycle to be stolen. When I complained to management, all I got was a blank stare and no comment so I just walked out. After my motorcycle was stolen the gate was closed for two days and then was back open again. When I complained again they said that "there is something wrong with the programming," yet for the past 3 months I have yet to see anyone working on any part of the gate to fix it. There is also a huge hole in the floor beneath the carpet in the middle of my main hallway, broken blinds, sloppy paint job, and the thermostat is inaccurate. I regularly turn my a/c off, however my electric bill is closing in on $200 even though I am here only half the day which leads me to believe the apartment is not well insulated. They just installed a new "sprinkler" system which activates around 9 PM. One of these "sprinklers" shoots straight up and lands on my 2nd floor patio. I discovered this one night while sitting on the patio with some guests, evidently they did not know it was going to be a pool party. In conclusion, STAY AWAY from Skyhawk Apartments. P.S. They should have an option for 0 stars.

This place is the worst apartments I've lived in yet!!! "Gated community" ?! HA! no such thing! My car has been broken into twice!!!! This is BS! I regret the day I moved in here. Missing tiles in my shower, hole in my closet door, and it took them a month to replace a microwave!! Plus the water has been shut off for days with no notice. DO NOT MOVE HERE WHATEVER YOU DO!!! TURN AROUND AND RUN!

The species, which devastates fishing stocks, is the scourge of fishermen and causes river banks to cave in, has been discovered in the River Kelvin.
Loading article content
According to conservationists, they may have been introduced on purpose by people acting on tips from celebrity chefs, some of whom have recommended the crustacean as a tasty wild treat.
For anglers, however, the crayfish's arrival could undo years of work stocking the river with salmon and trout.
Fishermen on the Kelvin warned that it was "a serious threat" to Glasgow's second river, and Dr Colin Bean, fish ecology adviser at Scottish Natural Heritage, described the development as "very disappointing".
Signal crayfish were first found in Scotland in 1995, he said, and since then have spread rapidly through the country. They have already taken over waters in Dumfries and Galloway, the Borders and Fife, with a presence also recorded in Lothian, Tayside and Grampian.
"They're like the Steve McQueen of the invertebrate world -- they can escape from anything," Mr Bean said. "They're big and can impact fish directly by predating them, or keeping them out of preferred habitats.
"They can also burrow into banks and destabilise them, which presents a danger to livestock if any cows or sheep are walking along the river bank, and to humans as well, to an extent."
The arrival of the species was first noted earlier this month near the Glasgow University science park in Maryhill, but due to the species's aggressive expansion habits their territory is likely to extend well beyond that.
One study revealed in The Herald earlier this year found nine crayfish per square metre in Loch Ken, in Dumfries and Galloway, even after a Scottish Government-backed programme that destroyed a million of them. They have now colonised 108 miles of Scottish rivers and several lochs, according to Scottish Natural Heritage.
"It's clear that these things have been moved about by people; they haven't been getting there of their own volition," Mr Bean said. "People like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Rick Stein catch crayfish and show how to catch these things as a free harvest."
For anglers, however, the crayfish are a menace. They will put potentially fatal pressure on fish stocks that have only recently bounced back from a century of decline during Glasgow's industrial period.
A statement from the River Kelvin Angling Association warns members of the dangers crayfish pose.
It says: "The signal crayfish is a serious threat to the native biodiversity of the Kelvin system, and extreme care should be taken to avoid the inadvertent transfer of small specimens on fishing tackle and boots.
"Tackle used on the Kelvin should therefore be disinfected before use in other river systems, including those in other parts of the Clyde catchment."
It is also illegal to transport crayfish between different bodies of water, and even being caught in possession of one without a licence can carry serious penalties.
But now that the crayfish are established in the Kelvin, Mr Bean said, there was little chance of getting rid of them. He said: "It's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to remove them."
American signal crayfish have no natural predators in Scotland, and so can flourish unchecked, unlike in America. Authorities have variously suggested using electric shocks, or introducing eels to keep their numbers down, but so far nothing has proved successful.
The grey squirrel of the deep
The signal crayfish is a large, lobster-like invertebrate which is native to western areas of North America.
It was introduced to Britain in the 1970s for aquaculture and was considered better than native species because it was less prone to infections.
It has spread quickly since the 1970s and is able to move between neighbouring bodies of water in search of habitats and food.
They are voracious predators and can seriously impact on the salmon population, as well as lamprey and freshwater pearl mussels.
Crayfish also dig tunnels for shelter and can destabilise river banks if present in large numbers, causing livestock to fall into water and drown.
The crayfish are known to be present in at least 108 miles of Scottish river bed, but relatively little is known about their range and numbers.
Trapping has proved ineffective and it is difficult to poison crayfish without harming other species that live in the same habitat.

Your Private Cloud Has Arrived!
Any time. Anywhere. Any device.
Staying competitive in a global economy requires constant data availability and flexibility. Access to data, 24/7, via mobile device, iPad, laptop at home and desktop at work is critical. And immediacy is followed by security: the highest level of Security, Data Loss protection, while meeting Compliance standards, is a must.
Your business never stops, so neither should your technology.
Arialink and CBI announce a partnership to provide companies with a Private Cloud Computing solution that helps provide resources and resolve these issues. Data is an essential part of a company. It is an asset, and considered their property. The loss of that property can destroy a company in a heartbeat.
Whether it's due to fire, flood or outsiders hacking their way into a company's network—we have a way to keep that property safe. The U.S. Department of Labor released a study that revealed that 94% of businesses that experience a disaster go out of business within 5 years1
This Private Cloud Computing solution establishes a competitive edge by combining speed with increased security measures, compliance with civil and legal data standards and a peerless data loss prevention strategy. Via private cloud, businesses can now have all the speed, access and flexibility they want and need, to run successfully--any time, anywhere, on any device.
"Together, we take a standard, public cloud computing format and transform it into a private, customized cloud computing solution for our customer—and that customer only," says Jason Schreiber, president of Arialink. "In addition to the limitless bandwidth and speed of Arialink fiber, outsiders won't have access to data and applications because it is securely housed at the CBI data center. Companies can now have a fast, direct, private connection to what is rightfully theirs."

Clean rooms, balcony overlooking the creek, fairly decent continental breakfast, good sized room and nicely appointed. Seemed quiet - heard no noise from the freeway at all.
Terrible signage - you find the registration desk by accident; long walk across the parking lot to the lobby and breakfast area; even a long walk to the ice machine.
The person at the desk was very friendly and warm. The room was good sized, clean and the bed was comfortable. The room appeared to have been remodeled as the buildings themselves were obviously old. Nice bathroom well appointed.
The lobby was separate from the rooms so it was a cold walk to breakfast. The freeway was half a block from my door.
The continental breakfast was probably the worst I have ever seen. They would be better off not doing it. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. I only dealt with them at check in and check out, but those two experiences took way longer than they should have considering I was the only person in line and they acted like I was a bother. I'll take my money to other hotels from now on.
We stayed one night, booking through Kayak.com supposedly the best price but found a coupon at the rest stop for $5.00 less. The sheets were so thin you could spit through them. Old and tired is the best description. We'll miss this stop on our way home.
Clean comfortable room. Great value for the price. Friendly staff
Nice room,liked the covered parking,room was clean and good sized. The breakfast was ok for what it was.
Even with the remodeling going on it was quiet.
They really need to get better coffee,no taste to it at all. Same with the breakfast. Could use a bigger coffee pot.
location and pricing. breakfast and microwave + frig.
bed was old and sunken in the middle.
Close to bus stop, made public transportation a breeze!
Comfortable beds
Nice owners
Smelled like vomit
Absolutely not one thing
Blood stains, cigarette burns, bug residue, broken lock, no fire alarm, dirt, completely disgusting conditions and such a terrible smell.
I beg you - Please do not stay here - my girlfriend and I were traveling from Yosemite to Portland and decided to stay here - after quickly realizing that reviews online are completely fabricated - it was all downhill from here - we literally were scared for our life - we went downstairs to leave and get refunded and the lady at the front had left for the night and left a number which she never answered. We were checking for bed bugs all night - slept in our sleeping bags and piled chairs and tables by the door. I confronted the lady in the morning - no apology - just a smug look and said "oh, I'll look into that" I was appalled - left and promised to make sure that nobody else gets stuck here - PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I will be reporting this place to authorities.
Looked like it may have been nice.
I reserved a room via kayak.com and secured it with my credit card. Then 2-days before the trip I called the hotel and confirmed my reservation. However, when I arrived, they had rented my room to someone else for more money and moved me to a scary flop house down the road (Cedar Lodge). Not only was Cedar Lodge run-down and filled with sketchy homeless residents, I was charged the same amount as the room I had reserved at the Rogue Valley Inn. It was evening and my son and I were exhausted from driving all day and felt trapped. I'm furious with Rogue Valley's unethical behavior.
We liked how close it was to the airport.
We liked the price for the value.
Family friendly
Walking distance for food and river sights
Nice TV's and plenty of channels
Large room with
fridge, microwave, safe
coffee in room
clean towels
Ice machine was in office
we left very early so I don't know if they had any kind of breakfast
did not offer pool towels
First off this is stay number 3 of 8 hotels during a 2 week, 2500 mile road trip with my family.. This hotel has been by far the best overall expericience for my family stay!! The hotel had that updated/newer feel, customer service in all aspects (front desk/kitchen staff/housekeeping) was outstanding , the spaciousness / cleanliness of the room, and even the food!! Yes the food, we were greeted upon check in with a free pulled pork dinner along with free beverages, even free beer and wine... The breakfast was even better than any other free breakfast that I usual would just skip but I was so impressed with the dinner I had to at least try the breakfast, needless to say it was great!!
I felt I needed to leave such a raving review because all I did was read these reviews and hope for the best as there was no particular reason for us to stay in Medford other than it was a stop for the night on 1200 mile trip to Portland..This is a legit A+++ rating for this hotel, for anyone stopping in Medford Oregon this is the best value you will find....
That it wasn't our destination hotel, and we could only stay one night..
Service was kind and professional. My kids were welcomed and the room was big enough for personal time.
Comfy rooms, nice staff, great breakfast!
Terrific location, great value, large updated room.
Nice water pressure in the shower. No bathtub just a shower stall.
The free breakfast was ok bit that was expected when you don't pay much for the room.
The room was clean. Internet and cable were really good.
The neighborhood was less then ideal. Would not want my family staying there. I feared for the safety of my vehicle and my possessions inside it.
The modern interior design gave the impression that you were getting a lot more bang for your buck. I loved the bathroom and everything was very clean. The price couldn't be beat!
Clean and remodeled
Heat didnt work

ND ethanol plant incentive questionedThe Jamestown/Stutsman (N.D.) Development Corp. Board may reduce by two-thirds the incentives requested by Dakota Spirit AgEnergy ethanol plant.
By: Keith Norman, Forum News Service
The Jamestown/Stutsman (N.D.) Development Corp. Board may reduce by two-thirds the incentives requested by Dakota Spirit AgEnergy ethanol plant.
DSA had requested about $1 million through two programs. The new jobs training programs would loan it about $320,000, which would be repaid from North Dakota income tax withholdings from its employees. The jobs incentive program would grant the business about $600,000 from the JSDC funds based on $17,500 for each job created with a salary of more than $15 per hour.
The JSDC Board passed the new jobs training program on a unanimous vote Feb. 3. It voted to send the jobs incentive grant program portion of the application to the JSDC Executive Committee for further consideration on a 9-2 vote with Gary Riffe, JSDC chairman, and Bob Toso, board member, dissenting.
The cost of the grant concerned some members.
"If we're looking at spending the same thing on CHS we don't have that kind of money to support it," said Kelly Rachel, board member.
The CHS nitrogen fertilizer plant is anticipated to create 150 to 200 jobs if the planned plant is built. Rachel estimated it could cost the JSDC about $3.5 million to offer the same jobs incentive grant to CHS.
"It forces us to pick and choose between projects," said Ramone Gumke, Jamestown city councilman and JSDC Board member.
Toso said the topic should be sent to the executive committee or a special committee to review the program although the current applications should be considered.
"I agree that it's a little uncomfortable to talk about after a proposal has been presented," said Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen, who is also a member of the JSDC Board. "But it says right at the top of the memo that it has to be approved by this board and the city and county."
Andersen said her concern was these jobs grants would limit the JSDC's resources and prevent it from offering incentives to other businesses that may want to locate at the Spiritwood Energy Park Association location.
Connie Ova, JSDC CEO, said it was an issue of credibility if the board refuses to pass incentives it offers as part of its incentive package.
"At present time, it's pretty difficult for us to have credibility with these companies," she said. "If it weren't for this company (Great River Energy, parent company of DSA) we wouldn't be worrying about housing in our community."
The jobs incentive program loan now moves to the Jamestown City Council and Stutsman County Commission for review and possible passage.

Thunder Host Idaho for First Time
The Stockton Thunder (@StocktonThunder), proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's New York Islanders and AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, kicks off a stretch of three games in three days against the Idaho Steelheads (8-4-1-1) tonight. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. at Stockton Arena with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the Silver Bullet Bar opening at 5:30 p.m.
Fans who can't make it out to Stockton Arena for the game can watch and listen live online. Streaming video is available through AmericaONE and live audio of the game is available through StocktonThunder.com or on Spreaker.com.
This is the first time the Idaho Steelheads have been at Stockton Arena since being eliminated in Western Conference Final back on May 11th of this year. That playoff series kicked off with two games in Idaho. The Thunder came away with victories in both games, including an Andrew Clark game winning overtime goal in Game 2.
The Thunder would then come back to Stockton Arena and drop Game 3 in overtime but win the next two to eliminate the Steelheads and send the Thunder to their first Kelly Cup Final. Once again, Clark scored the game winner in Game 5 that would prove to be the dagger.
Clark has carried over his tremendous Kelly Cup Playoffs into this season as he remains tied with James Henry and Ryan Hayes for a team lead of 5 goals while also ranking second on the team in points with 12.
The aforementioned Hayes is the leader in points for the Stockton Thunder with 17 but did not suit up last night due to a nagging injury. Despite not having their top point getter, the Thunder rallied in the third period for the second time this season against the Utah Grizzlies on their way to a 3-2 victory.
The Grizzlies got on the board first just 1:15 seconds into the game but that would eventually be matched when Corey Trivino would force a turnover, walk in all alone and go forehand-backhand on Utah goaltender Igor Bobkov to knot the game.
While momentum had seemingly shifted to the Thunder at the end of the first period, another early goal in the second period by Utah would put the home side on their heels.
Eventually, the team recovered the momentum and really took over the third period. The Thunder would tie the game up just 12 seconds into an early power play as Landon Oslanski scored his second goal in as many games when he ripped a point shot from a Joey Martin pass past Bobkov.
Brayden Irwin, who got the secondary assist on the play, had his 6'5" frame camped out in front of the 6'6" Bobkov. Initially the thought was that Irwin got a tip on the puck, but replays showed that the puck took a deflection off a Grizzlies player.
In a funny sense of foreshadowing, nearly 10 minutes later, Trivino fired a pass up to Irwin who used his body to get parallel with the Utah defender, and in spite of the fact he had one hand on his stick while being held up and eventually brought down on his stomach, the big centerman was able to one-hand the puck past Bobkov for what proved to be the winning goal.
Equally impressive as the Thunder's win last night, was Idaho's as they shutout the San Francisco Bulls 6-0. For Idaho goaltender Pat Nagle, it was his first shutout of the season, and an impressive one at that, as the former Kelly Cup Champion stopped all 41 shots he faced.
A total of 11 players on the Steelheads registered a point in last nights game with three recording multi-point efforts. Patrick Cullity had three assists, Etienne Boutet added two helpers, and the captain, Justin Mercier, recorded two goals.
Idaho's leading point scorer, Anthony Nigro, was held to just 1 assist. Nigro is tied for seventh in the ECHL with 16 points. Not far behind him is Mitch Wahl who is tied for tenth with 15 points including one helper last night.
While the Steelheads have been scoring a lot of goals, they've also given up a lot, as the team is only +3 in goal differential. They sit in third place in the Mountain Division with 18 points. Colorado, who sits in second also at the 18 point mark, has played one fewer game than the Steelheads.
The Thunder is still chasing the Ontario Reign as they remain in second place in the Pacific Division with 19 points. The Thunder has moved one spot up in the Conference as they are a single point ahead of Colorado for third in the West while the Steelheads remain in fifth.
This game continues to be a part of the Thunder's "Share Your Thanksgiving" promotion. Fans can receive $1 off the price of their ticket for each canned food item they donate at Stockton Arena, up to a minimum ticket price of $7 (glass, club and suite level seats are excluded and cannot be combined with other offers). All donations will benefit the Emergency Food Bank and Family Services of Stockton/San Joaquin. Season ticket holders can also donate and will receive one entry per canned food item into a raffle to win the use of a suite at an upcoming Thunder game.

Dr. Phil sues Deadspin, Gawker Media for posting Ronaiah Tuiasosopo interview videoAdd to Favorites | Dr. Phil
McGraw alleges copyright infringement in the complaint filed in Texarkana, Texas, asking for unspecified damages, reports Deadline.
The complaint, which you can read here, reads, "Gawker deliberately set out to get 'the jump' on the rest of the country and 'scoop' 'Dr. Phil' with his own content. They did not earn that right, they stole it. ... They did not ask permission, they blatantly and knowingly infringed the copyright of the content owner and did so in a way that furthered their interest to the maximum and undercut the rightful owner of the protected material."
The interview in question was aired over two episodes of "Dr. Phil" on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. The show teased a cliffhanger on the first episode that during the second half of the interview, Tuiasosopo would "reveal" the voice that he used to fool Te'o.
"In a premeditated plan to steal ... copyrighted material, Deadspin posted the video of the second show ... not later than 9:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, hours before 'Dr. Phil' aired to over 98% of its viewers," reads the complaint. It claims Deadspin misappropriated the video and ruined the cliffhanger, causing ratings to drop for the second episode.
Here is the Deadspin post in question. The problem with the suit is that while "Dr. Phil" airs in the afternoon in most markets, it does air earlier on the East Coast, including markets in Connecticut, Maine, Boston, Mass. and Philadelphia, PA, which means video from the actual broadcast could easily be obtained from someone in one of those markets.
In fact, according to "Dr. Phil's" own TV listings, the show airs at 6 a.m. in Philadelphia, which means by the time Deadspin posted the video, it had been several hours since the second part of the interview aired.

Home Depot reported sales of $18.2 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, a 13.9 percent increase from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Comparable store sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 7.0 percent, and comp sales for U.S. stores were 7.1 percent.
The fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 consisted of 14 weeks compared with 13 weeks for the prior year. The 14th week added approximately $1.2 billion in sales for the quarter and the year. Excluding the 14th week, fourth quarter sales increased by 6.3 percent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The additional week is not included in comparable store sales results for the quarter or the year.
Net earnings for the fourth quarter were $1.0 billion compared with net earnings of $774 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. These results reflect a favorable adjustment to a previously announced China store closing charge of approximately $20 million, net of tax.
"We ended the year with a strong performance as our business benefited from a continued recovery in the housing market coupled with sales related to repairs in the areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy," Home Depot Chairman and CEO Frank Blake said.
The company also predicts approximately 2 percent sales growth and 3 percent comparable store sales growth for fiscal 2013. It also expects to pen 9 new stores in the same time period.

Michael Kimmelman Proposes A Queens-Brooklyn Waterfront Streetcar
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
Henry Melcher.
As development along the Brooklyn and Queens' waterfront has increased dramatically over the years, transportation options—for residents old and new—has not. The number of glass towers, startups, and parks along the East River has only been matched by style pieces on new "it" neighborhoods from Astoria to Red Hook. But, now, the New York Times' Michael Kimmelman has used his platform to launch a plan to change that equation, and give these neighborhoods the transportation system they deserve.
2014 will be a big year for streetcars in Kansas City and Cincinnati
Thursday, January 16, 2014
Chris Bentley.
Although it hasn't yet broken ground, Kansas City plans to revive a long-dormant streetcar network. Voters approved a ballot measure in 2012 to fund a 2-mile starter route from Union Station to the River Market, nearly 55 years after the city halted its original streetcar service in 1957.
Now Kansas City residents are likely to vote again to help pay for streetcar construction, this time to approve taxes that would help fund a new streetcar taxing district. The measure goes to City Council on Jan. 23. Read More

Obama Selects Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx As Next DOT Secretary
Monday, April 29, 2013
Nick Miller.
White House officials revealed on Sunday that Charlotte, North Carolina Mayor Anthony Foxx will be named President Barack Obama's next Secretary of the Department of Transportation, replacing outgoing Secretary Ray LaHood.
The Charlotte Observer reported that Foxx rose to prominence last year when his city hosted the Democratic National Convention, and has garnered continued attention for his efforts to tackle Charlotte's transportation challenges, from expanding the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, to extending the city's light-rail system, and brining street cars to the city-center.
The 42-year old Mayor was first elected in 2009, then re-elected in 2011 with 70 percent of the vote. Earlier this month Foxx announced that he would be leaving office at the end of the year to spend more time with his family, though now it appears those plans have changed. If his nomination is confirmed, Foxx will assume his position July 4th.

Arrested Because The Sex Was Too Loud & Too Wild
Gary Dourdan from CSI was involved in a domestic violence incident, when he girlfriend, Maria Asis del Alamo was arrested after police found a scratch on Gary's neck. Well it turns out the couple were on vacation having an intimate moment, and a nosy neighbor had mistaken a wild night of passion for a night of fighting. The loud noises turned out to be moans and groans, and all charges against Maria have not been dropped. {Source}
So it seems Gary and Maria were getting their freak on a little too loud, that the neighbor thought Maria was hurting Gary. Hmmm! That's all I can say!
Judging from this picture, I can now see how the neighbors got confused. And this was taken in public…

Kevin Federline Finally Apologizes To Shar Jackson For Cheating; Jesse James Jump-Off Sings "No Scrubs"
Kevin Ferderline finally admits he was wrong for leaving Shar Jackson while seven months pregnant to pursue Britney Spears. His apology brought Shar Jackson to tears.

Just because it's a slow news day. Check out Michelle "Bombshell Nazi White Power" McGee singing "No Scrubs" by TLC. In case you don't know who this woman is, she's Jesse James jump-off, and Jesse James is the soon to be ex-husband of Sandra Bullock. Apparently Jesse James and Bombshell McGee think it's cute to dress up like racist Nazis. I still want to punch both of them in the face for hurting Sandra Bullock.Read More

CFCC plans 'Cornerstone Ceremony' for Humanities and Fine Arts Center
Cape Fear Community College will hold a special ceremony later this week to mark an important milestone in the construction of its Humanities and Fine Arts Center and has invited the public to participate.
On Friday, Feb. 21 at 9:00 a.m., the college will hold a cornerstone ceremony where a massive piece of precast concrete is lowered into place. Before the ceremony, guests will have an opportunity to sign the wall to commemorate the occasion.
The ceremony will take place at the corner of Second and Hanover streets in downtown Wilmington. Parking is available in the Wilmington Convention Center parking deck on Nutt St. A reception for guests will be held in the Wilma W. Daniels Gallery after the ceremony.
Scheduled to speak at the ceremony are CFCC President Dr. Ted Spring, CFCC Board of Trustees Chairman Barren Nobles, Chairman of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners Woody White, Executive Director of the Wilmington Arts Council Rhonda Bellamy and CFCC Vice President of Instruction Dr. Amanda Lee.
Dr. Spring said that he is excited to see the building taking shape and is looking forward to sharing this event with the public.
"This facility was made possible because of the support from the local community and we want the public to see the progress of their investment," said Dr. Spring.
He explained that once the building is completed, it will benefit not only the college, but the entire area.
"This facility will not only greatly enhance educational opportunities for our students, but it will also bring an exciting new performing arts venue to southeastern North Carolina," Dr. Spring explained.
Budgeted at $39.9 million, the 159,368-foot building will house three floors of academic space for CFCC's humanities and fine arts program and feature a 1,500-seat performance hall for theatrical, musical and other cultural events. Funds for the building came from a $164 million bond referendum passed by New Hanover County voters in 2008.
CFCC broke ground on the facility last March and the project is expected to be completed at the end of this year. The building was designed by LS3P architects and Edifice Construction is the general contractor.
In addition to the Humanities and Fine Arts Center, the 2008 bond referendum has funded the construction of two other projects. The first is Union Station – a 251,402 square-foot classroom and student services building at the downtown Wilmington campus which opened late last year. The second is the 134,000 square-foot Advanced and Emerging Technologies Center at the North Campus in Castle Hayne which is currently in the design phase.

The pain is in the setup of your own network. This app is under the assumption you already have that setup correctly; else it's a matter of plugging in your IP address, then your computers credentials.
The user interface will eventually be your computers' desktop squeezed to the small screen.

Anyone watch the WEC fights last night?
Is Torres still a top 5 pound for pound fighter?
I thought the Roller stoppage was too quick. He got rocked and then recovered quickly and was covering up well when the ref jumped in.
I think the WEC fights are better than the free cards from the UFC.
I hope they don't switch to pay per view, which I have heard rumors of happening.
