FTA: Yankton Can't Provide Exclusive Bus Service
YANKTON - A recent Federal Transit Administration ruling is telling Yankton Transit that it can no longer provide exclusive school bus service to young riders.
The Yankton Press and Dakotan reports that the local agency this week is making changes this week to comply with federal law.
Parents in the community contract with Yankton Transit to transport more than 200 students to and from school at $2 per ride. After providing a $50 deposit and filling out an enrollment form, parents are billed monthly based on how many times their child rides a Yankton Transit bus.
Because of the FTA order, Yankton Transit can no longer prevent the general public from being on those buses, and some parents say that eliminates safety measures.

At Grave's End
Author: Jeaniene Frost
Series: #3 in the Night Huntress series
Narrator: Tavia Gilbert
Run Time: 9hrs and 28 minutes
Book Description:
It should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield's life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she's successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead. But though Cat's worn disguise after disguise to keep her true identity a secret from the brazen bloodsuckers, her cover's finally been blown, placing her in terrible danger.
As if that wasn't enough, a woman from Bones's past is determined to bury him once and for all. Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat's about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she's learned as a special agent won't help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself—and Bones—from a fate worse than the grave.
This is a hard book for me to review because my thoughts on the narration have completely taken over my thoughts on the book itself, and I am having a hard time separating the two. So I am going to break from my normal mode, and review the audiobook narration first and then hopefully touch on some of the book specific comments. Many of these audiobook comments can also be found on the Audible.com page for this audiobook. Having read the previous 2 books in the series on my kindle, I decided to try something different and listen to book 3 for a challenge. Going into it, I had heard varying opinions about the narration, specifically focused on the voice of Bones and after listening I would definately say that I fall into the negative. I have to wonder if my opinion would have been changed if I had listened to all of the books, but i don't know.
Typically I like Tavia Gilbert's narration, but something with this just didn't work – I HATED Bones voice – he sounded like an Australian teen high on something – now admitedly based on the backstory, he did spend some time in Australia before he became a vampire and after, but he is also supposed to be British, so the voice just didn't work for me. I imagine him more sounding like James Marsters who played Spike on Buffy way back when. My other, albiet small complaint, was about some of the word pronunciation. One of the main secondary characters is Don, but for the life of me every time I heard her say his name, is sounded like Dawn…and then on the one occurrence when Dawn is said, it sounded like Don…
But that being said, narration aside, I didn't mind the book. Cat was a bit more whiny/clingy in this book than she had been in previous ones. She wasn't as kick-ass as I was expecting her to be and oh the drama and the death. Without disclosing any spoilers, some serious shit went down in this book and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in later books. I can say that I will be reading the rest of them and not listening.
Overall, i'd give the narration only 2 stars, but the book itself 3.5-4. So adding them together about 3 stars over all. I do think that people who like UF should read this series if they haven't started yet.

There's an old saying that you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
It comes to mind now that Middlebury College has offered two interconnected gifts to the town. To simplify the terms, these gifts come in the form of most of the money to build a new municipal building and gym, while also paving the way for an appealing transition between Main Street and the Marble Works.
Those steps would, at an apparently affordable cost to Middlebury taxpayers, substantially improve downtown Middlebury, its recreational facilities and its town offices.

Visited in the quiet April season, what a treat! Spacious rooms, comfy beds, peace and quiet no TV (hooray), great food, yummy delicate fluffy pancakes with glazed apples, fresh squeezed fruit juices, and oh the cookie jar........ Clean, tidy, felt like we knew these ladies forever (and we usually are NOT sociable....). If anybody visits the Bridgeton area, don't miss it....

I Stayed with Rick and Julie in January 2012. I was married by the fabulous Rick in front of the crackling fire in the more formal living room. We stayed two nights and they were AMAZING!!! Breakfast was the most amazing morning food we have ever had. I expected good food but this was tip top delightful. We had morning coffee service which was awesome and yummy. Nice to wake up with steamy organic flavorful made by someone else coffee.... :) We also borrowed the house snow shoes which was very fun in the local trails, We had so much fun.....The only thing I would change is to offer a later breakfast...We are morning people but sometimes you just want to sleep in a little longer. Overall we LOVED our stay, and will be visiting again.....

AC worked wonderfully! It is nice that they have wine for purchase and soft drinks available at no charge. I suggest they put a bottled water machine in the dining area so guests can get their own cold water.

From arrival to departure it was a great experience. Cookies anytime and a fabulous breakfast actually make this a bargain. Spacious home provides for plenty of lounging. Very nice room and very comfortable bed. Definitely a place to return to.

The Noble House Inn has become a favorite spot to stay for my fiance and I. Our first time was sensational and inspired us not only to return, but also to hold our wedding ceremony there in the near future. The atmosphere is comfortable and elegant, and the innkeepers are very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. They have helped us to have an outstanding visit every time we've come (and I think we've been 3 times this last year!). We really feel like we are stepping into our home away from home when we stay there, and we have plans for many more visits in the future! Thank you so much! And by the way, the food is amazing!!!

We love staying at Noble House. This was our third stay and we can't wait to come back next winter! The hosts are friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and there are so many nice little touches throughout the inn.

Rick and Julie were lovely! Very hospitable and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting them. I would have preferred breakfast to be extended beyond 9:00am as we were there to ski but also relax and felt rushed in the mornings.

We have stayed here about 6 nights over the last 6 years or so every stay has been relaxing and a nice way to start and end our skiing. Rick and Julie are low key and very pleasant Innkeepers. We look forward to returning

We tried to stay with Rick and Julie last spring and it didn't work out. Am I glad I kept them on my radar! We (my girlfriend and I) just spent an incredible short weekend at the Noble House Inn. We decided Saturday morning to take advantage of their ski and stay package- great room, great food and a great deal all the way around! We'll be back again for sure!

My wife and I celebrated our marriage last weekend at the Noble House Inn. Both Rick and Julie were amazing hosts. Everything was as a promised, the ceremony, meals, and room. From the time we checked in to the time we checked out, Rick and Julie together exceeded in meeting all of our needs. The bottomless cookie jar was always full. Meals were served on time. Each meal was exquisitely prepared with extreme attention to detail. We stayed in the Noble Suite and were extremely satisfied with cleanliness and comfort of the room. The king bed rivals that of any previously slept on, and the whirlpool bathtub provided the perfect way to relax at the end of a day spent exploring Western Maine. This was the prefect weekend get away, complete with a marriage ceremony preformed by Rick himself. We would highly recommend, the Noble House Inn to anyone wanting a quiet stay in the Bridgton area.

We stayed with some of our family for a wedding. Rick and Julie run a first class Inn. The wedding was intimate and personal, rooms perfect and the breakfast was outstanding. We were given great service and felt very good about our experience.

The innkeepers are warm, personable and have a fantastic attention to detail. The Inn is impeccably clean and the breakfast was a winner, or wicked delicious as they would say! I would highly recommend this B&B and would not hesitate to return.

We were guests at Noble House Inn for the first time at the height of the foliage season. Spectacular in every way: the hosts, their welcome to us, their explanation/tour of the house and our room, etc. etc. The room was comfortably and carefully furnished. Everything was exceptionally clean. The breakfasts were out of this world, prepared and served with care by our hosts. Highly recommend this B&B.
4,8 en octubre 12, 2010
An awesome location for some real R & R, both Rick & Julie were very welcoming upon our arrival and throughout our stay. A beautiful Inn, both inside and out with many comfortable amenities. If you enjoy a killer breakfast, you have come to the right place! Did I mention the bottom less cookie jar? Noble House Inn is a great reason to visit Maine, check it out!

We had a fabulous stay at the Noble House. Rick and Julie were outstanding hosts, food was wonderful, and the other guests were friendly. Many of them wer repeat guests. We would highly recommend and we plan to visit again.

All round outstanding experience! The Inn is lovely...infinitely comfortable and cozy. The innkeepers are first-class hosts and warm, welcoming people. Cleanliness is immaculate. Dining experience is to die for...different and delicious recipes every morning made with fresh ingredients...local and organic whenever possible. Endless coffee and a bottomless cookie jar filled with homemade cookies are features. Noble House is, in every respect, a "feel good" place. Whenever I return to Maine, a stay at the Noble House is always a "must" on my itinerary.

My daughter and I enjoyed a 4 night stay in August/September 2010 the beds were nirvana and the breakfasts sublime, the attention to detail is amazing, I happened to mention on the first day that I didn't like raisins and the next morning when they served us their Organic Yogurt and Cinnamon Granola parfait they had removed the raisins from our granola! Innkeepers Rick and Julie are masters in the kitchen, you won't be disappointed! The Inn and the surrounding grounds are impeccable.

From the moment we walked in with the aroma of fresh baked cookies we knew we were in for a treat - but we had no idea how good! The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas was amazing and all of the smallest details were in place. The food was AMAZING! When Rick and Julie say their breakfast is "wicked good" they are not kidding! Thank you so much and we can not wait for our next weekend up there!

It is not possible for me to completely describe our experience in such a small space, so let me condense it to one word: graciousness. From the first time we spoke over the phone, to the goodbye that felt like leaving family, Rick and Julie exuded grace, care, and warmth. The inn is lovely, the food is made-from-scratch and amazing -- but it was the comfort and human touch that we will remember the most. The highlight of our trip. Bruce and Nina Maples Louisville, KY

Rick and Julie love being innkeepers and it shows. Everything was first-class. We stayed in the beautiful "Garden" themed room - a great room to relax in during our busy weekend. From the 5-star breakfasts to the delicious cookies and tea available 24/7, my wife and I were thrilled. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I booked a weekend getaway at the Nobel House and was very pleased to find the Inn to be everything we hoped it would be. Casual luxury with beautifully appointed rooms that are just as nice in person as they appear to be in the photos posted on the web site. The advertised "wicked good breakfast" is more than a tag line, it's the only description that fits. Innkeepers Rick and Julie Whelchel added a warm, personal touch that made us feel right at home, only that bottomless cookie jar was filled with cookies better than Mom used to make. If you are ever in the Bridgton Maine area, make this your new favorite place, we have.
5 en abril 25, 2008
We wanted a "get-a-way" wwekend in Bridgton, Maine and received more than we asked for. The Noble House is a first class B & B with outstanding service and breakfasts. Rick, Julie, and Ross are the best hosts you will find. Ross welcomed us on our arrival and went above and beyond to show us all the rooms in the Noble House and explain our room amentities in detail. Nothing we have experienced at any other B & B we have stayed at. When you stay here you feel you have the entire house to yourself. You never see the owners or Ross unless you need something. We will be returning next year and are sincerely looking forward to the stay. The Noble House is "one in a million" for customer service. They also have a great dog named Daisey who is ready to meet you.

We've been staying at Noble House BB for the last few years......wouldn't consider anywhere else in the Lakes Region, this place has it all ! Beautiful location, great food, excellent accommodations, and best of all, Rick and Julie spare nothing in ensuring their guests have a great experience....and I get to walk Daisy for FREE !

Interventional RadiologyInterventional Radiology - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is interventional radiology?
Interventional radiologists are involved in the treatment of the patient, as well as the diagnosis of disease. They treat an ever-widening range of conditions inside the body from outside the body by inserting various small instruments or tools, such as catheters or wires, with the use of various X-ray and imaging techniques (i.e., CT scanners, MRI scanners, ultrasound scanners). Interventional radiology offers an alternative to the surgical treatment of many conditions and can eliminate the need for hospitalization, in some cases.
Who is the interventional radiologist?
The interventional radiologist is a medical doctor who has completed training in an accredited residency program. The interventional radiologist is then eligible to take the board examination given by the American Board of Radiology. Following board certification, the interventional radiologist completes an interventional radiology fellowship training program. Interventional radiologists work closely with other doctors and play an important role on the treatment team.
What procedures do interventional radiologists perform?
Interventional radiologists perform a vast variety of procedures, including the following:
Angiography. An X-ray of the arteries and veins to detect blockage or narrowing of the vessels. In many cases, the interventional radiologist can treat the blockages, such as those occurring in the arteries in the legs or kidneys, by inserting a small stent which inflates and opens the vessel. This procedure is called a balloon angioplasty.
Angioplasty. The use of a small balloon on the tip of a catheter inserted into a blood vessel to open up an area of blockage inside the vessel.
Embolization. The insertion of a substance through a catheter into a blood vessel to stop hemorrhaging, or excessive bleeding.
Gastrostomy tubes. A gastrostomy tube (feeding tube) is inserted into the stomach if the patient is unable to take food by mouth.
Intravascular ultrasound. The use of ultrasound inside a blood vessel to better visualize the interior of the vessel in order to detect problems inside the blood vessel.
Stent placement. A tiny, expandable coil, called a stent, is placed inside a blood vessel at the site of a blockage. The stent is expanded to open up the blockage.
Foreign body extraction. The use of a catheter inserted into a blood vessel to retrieve a foreign body in the vessel.
Needle biopsy. A small needle is inserted into the abnormal area in almost any part of the body, guided by imaging techniques, to obtain a tissue biopsy. This type of biopsy can provide a diagnosis without surgical intervention. An example of this procedure is called the needle breast biopsy.
Blood clot filters. A small filter is inserted into a blood clot to catch and break up blood clots.
Injection of clot-lysing agents. Clot-lysing agents, such as tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), are injected into the body to dissolve blood clots, thereby increasing blood flow to the heart or brain.
Catheters insertions. A catheter is inserted into large veins for giving chemotherapy drugs, nutritional support, and hemodialysis. A catheter may also be inserted prior to bone-marrow transplantation.
Cancer treatment. This treatment administers cancer medications directly to the tumor site.

UEFA urged to make example of Lazio
UEFA have been urged to come down hard on Lazio after they charged the Italian club with improper conduct in relation to alleged racist chanting towards Tottenham players during Thursday's Europa League game.
UEFA confirmed that they had opened disciplinary proceedings against Lazio for alleged monkey chanting. The Italian club can expect a fine of 20,000 euros (around £16,000) if their fans are found guilty of racist abuse, but UEFA also have the option of much stronger punishments like forcing the club to play a game behind closed doors.
Piara Powar, executive director of Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE), said: "UEFA normally operate a 'three strikes and you're out' policy, and I think Lazio are at first base in that respect, but if (UEFA) really want to set the bar high, if they really want to send out a strong message, then I think they can do so regardless of whether it's a first or second offence."
He added: "I therefore think that UEFA could move directly to something like a match behind closed doors (punishment).
"They could suspend that punishment, perhaps, and then if something happens further down the line, then they can trigger that.
"Lazio are a strong club. They have been part of the European football scene for a long time. There needs to be quite a hard symbolic action taken when these instances occur.
"This punishment is one way of waking the club and the fans up to some of the problems that they face."

From TV To FM Radio
October 25, 2013 5 Comments
And it's mostly an FM thing this time…but let's start with some TV…
DR. GONE: Scripps ABC affiliate WEWS/5 made a big deal out of its choice to replace Oprah Winfrey at 4 PM, when the queen of TV talk left the over-air airwaves for her own "OWN" – "Oprah Winfrey Network".
Dr. Mehmet Oz from the Oprah Universe, who had already been airing on WEWS at 10 AM weekdays, would air also at 4…with the later edition being his "newest" show, and the 10 AM airing a repeat from a week earlier.
"Dr. Oz" is no longer practicing TV medicine on Channel 5 at 4 PM, in an abrupt move made a while back.
We noticed it when we turned to WEWS a couple of weeks ago, and found two airings of the half-hour video clip show "RightThisMinute". The show has aired at various times on Channel 5 in the past.
Why so abrupt a change?
Maybe the folks at 3001 Euclid were tired of "Dr. Oz"'s sagging ratings, and for that matter, were worried about its effect on NewsChannel 5's "Live on Five" at 5 PM…a show that we hear has definitely seen better ratings days. You could well say the same for the station's "Good Morning Cleveland".
As the folks at 3001 Euclid are fond of doing, "Live on Five" has undergone tweaking…that apparently isn't helping the ratings.
We're told that "RightThisMinute" isn't really improving things so far in the former "Dr. Oz" slot, though it is early. ("RTM" is owned by a consortium including Scripps, and WOIO/19-WUAB/43 owner Raycom Media.)
"Dr. Oz" continues on WEWS in its original 10 AM time slot, and according to listings, also airs at 1:37 AM…
GRACE FINALLY MAKES IT: Shortly after Akron's Rubber City Radio Group bought WNWV/107.3 and returned it to its historic "Wave" identity, back in early 2012, we noticed a new staff member:
Also aboard the new "Wave" is Grace Roberts, who started her career at the station (under Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting ownership, of course), and eventually became a mainstay at Radio One urban AC WZAK/93.1 and gospel WJMO/1300.
There was only one problem with our item.
Despite the fact that Rubber City even added Grace to its new website, she never actually took the job at WNWV…choosing, we heard later, to stay with Radio One instead.
It turns out the announcement of Grace joining the Wave was about a year and nine months premature, as Roberts does indeed now join the "107.3 The Wave" staff…really.
From AllAccess:
RUBBER CITY RADIO GROUP Smooth AC WNWV (107.3 THE WAVE) has named GRACE ROBERTS as its new Community Affairs Director. ROBERTS will also join the WAVE MORNING SHOW team, with longtime host DAN DEELY beginning OCTOBER 28th.
Roberts tells the AllAccess folks that she's followed Deely's career over the years, and says it's an honor to be working with him.
As we noted in the first item, Grace Roberts is well known for her stint as WZAK's long-time overnighter, and her work in middays at sister gospel WJMO…and started her career at the first incarnation of WNWV under Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting's ownership…
NEW WKSU PD: Kent State University public outlet WKSU/89.7-and-its-many-simulcasters has named a new program director. She's Ele Ellis, who comes to the Kent-based station from WUGA in Athens GA.
Quoting WKSU executive director Dan Skinner in a release sent to us by (say it with us!) long-time personal and professional Friend of OMW Ann VerWiebe, the station's marketing/public relations guru:
"We feel very fortunate to have Ele on board to help lead the station into an undiscovered public radio future. Her knowledge of programming – including news, classical music and even folk music – and her obvious love of public radio makes her an ideal fit for WKSU."
Yes, "even folk music", as Ellis rose from show host to program director of AAA/Americana/variety WNCW in Spindale NC. She hosted the bluegrass program "Goin' Across The Mountain".
WNCW is well-known in public radio circles for its music, and covers a wide swath of the Asheville NC and western North Carolina area, with translators in Charlotte and other cities.
WUGA's schedule appears much like WKSU's, before it added news/talk programming in middays…
THIS IS NPR: If you spend even a little time listening to WKSU and other NPR stations, you probably can hear the voice in your head…"This is NPR", which used to be followed by "National Public Radio".
That voice was Frank Tavares, who intoned the above and read thousands of underwriting announcements from his Connecticut home for three decades.
The public radio giant announced this week that a female voice will replace Tavares on the air, Sabrina Farhi.
From NPR's press release, quoted on Jim Romenesko's site.
Listeners will begin to hear Farhi's own articulation of "Support for NPR comes from…" in November, as she reminds audiences of the multitude of Member stations, corporations and institutions who contribute funding to NPR and public radio.
But the little reported news involves those NPR online sponsor credits, which, according to the public media trade publication "Current", were voiced by someone within the OMW Coverage Area:
Joe Gunderman, a production coordinator at WKSU in Kent, Ohio, and an announcer of NPR's digital sponsorship credits, will also be replaced. Gunderman and Tavares were invited to apply for the new position, according to NPR.
And to complete the WKSU part of this story, of course, NPR VP/programming Eric Nuzum is an alumnus of the local station as well, starting his career as a student employee, and later becoming one of Ellis' predecessors as program director…
AND ONE MORE ON WKSU: And believe it or not, this one didn't come from (see above).
We were stumbling across the FCC databases tonight when we found an application earlier this year for a WKSU translator in Mansfield.
The 22 watt signal at 95.1 would not be a powerhouse, but would restore NPR news/talk programming to much of Mansfield that lost it when Ohio State University's WOSU-FM decided to mount the station's all-classical service (based at newly acquired WOSA/101.1 "Classical 101" Grove City/Columbus) on WOSV in that Mid-Ohio city.
The proposed Mansfield translator lists WKSU's nearest full-power repeater signal, WKRW/89.3 Wooster, as its intended primary.
WKSU also operates 80 watt W239AZ/95.7 in Ashland, another translator that doesn't made it to the heart of Mansfield.
The WKSU translator in Boardman in Mahoning County is now off the air, and has disappeared from all databases…

An anti-money laundering partnership between Australia's big four banks and the continent's government designed to share more information in real time is getting good reviews but probably isn't exportable to the U.S., several lawyers and consultants said.
The Fintel Alliance launched in March "offers an unprecedented opportunity for government and banks to share insights to combat the long-standing issue of serious financial crime," Aidan O' Shaughnessy, policy director for the Australian Bankers' Association, told Bloomberg BNA.
Real-time information sharing could even help halt money-laundering transactions as they happen, said Peter Reeves, special counsel at Gilbert and Tobin, Sydney, who specializes in financial services law and AML regulation.
Nevertheless, privacy concerns, the much-larger size of the U.S. banking industry and different AML requirements would all make it difficult to replicate the partnership in the U.S. The U.S. also already has a quasi public-private partnership, AML experts said.
The Australia partnership brings together the continent's largest banks, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) and other government and academic institutions to share information about money laundering in near real-time in a bid to combat the financing of terrorism, smuggling and other crimes.
The partnership is designed to allow a regulator to flag suspicious activity to bank officials and then work with them to connect disparate information and summon law enforcement--all in the course of a day, according to a video posted by AUSTRAC.
The alliance reflects a shift in thinking by the government "from a regulator that seeks compliance to a regulator that seeks cooperation," Reeves said. Indeed, one of the reasons banks agreed to join the alliance was to reduce their compliance burdens, Reeves said.
The initiative was conceived to transform the "siloed relationship" that existed between banks and the government to "a partnership where solutions are co-designed in response to mutual problems," an AUSTRAC spokesman told Bloomberg BNA.
There are several reasons the program may not be easily exported to the U.S., starting with privacy concerns, according to Miami attorney Andrew Ittleman and others.
"You've got a lot of businesses with access to private information that they otherwise wouldn't have, [and] you don't necessarily have the benefit of the federal government coordinating the information-sharing between the private companies," Ittleman, a white-collar criminal defense attorney at Fuerst Ittleman David & Joseph, said. "It looks like a free-for-all."
Another factor is that in most cases, financial institutions in Australia must file suspicious activity reports within 72 hours. In the U.S., institutions have up to 30 days and can file for extensions, making real-time information-sharing less imperative.
It's a major difference, said Don Andrews, who heads the compliance and risk-management unit at Venable LLP, New York. "One thing I think would get significant pushback, and maybe rightly so, would be getting reporting down to a matter of days" in the U.S., he said. "That's a pretty big burden to place on a financial institution."
The Fintel alliance is a good way for banks to learn about law enforcement priorities, Robert Rowe, vice president and associate chief counsel for the American Bankers Association, said. Such information currently is lacking in the U.S., he and others said. Banks are "trying to get a better understanding about where to focus their energies," Rowe said. "The banks are saying, `if you tell us what the problem is, we know where to look and what to look for.'"
Andrews agreed, saying, "a little more direction from the government would be helpful. Firms are spending billions of dollars to comply with [AML] requirements, so it's very important that the government be incredibly clear about what it's looking for."
Dennis Lormel, a former FBI agent who specialized in AML enforcement, cited costs and regulatory concerns as reasons banks might not be keen on forming an alliance with the government. "When the general counsel for some of the major banks get involved in this, they look at it like, `we're just asking for trouble if we open ourselves up to something like this,'" Lormel said.
Banks also are "very concerned and and overly conservative as a result of regulatory expectations," Lormel, who now runs DML Associates LLC, a consulting firm that helps financial institutions with compliance, said. "If they go above and beyond what they're expected to do, then the expectation is they're gong to do it on a regular basis."
Several AML observers also said that U.S. banks and the government already have a functioning AML partnership appropriate to the size of the financial services industry, making a formal alliance like Australia's—with its much smaller banking industry—less necessary.
"The reality is, we have a pretty good public-private partnership between banks and law enforcement," said David Stewart, director of the financial crimes and compliance unit of Cary, N.C., analytics software firm SAS Institute Inc. Stewart cited the USA PATRIOT Act as one conduit for information-sharing, as well as a "close network of relationships" between financial institutions and the Department of Justice. "The question is whether the current system could be improved with technology to share data in real-time between the public and private sectors," he said.
Rowe agreed that there's a dialogue, but said the banking industry has sought a more formal alliance over the years. "Believe it or not, law enforcement says, we don't have the time," Rowe said.
However, according to Sharon Cohen Levin, a former top U.S. AML official, the Australian program of "out-and-out collaboration" between the government and financial institutions "would be welcome in the U.S." Levin, former chief of the money laundering and asset forfeiture unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, said that while a U.S. alliance would have to be consistent with U.S. AML rules, "in the end, I think it would lead to better law enforcement outcomes."
The collaboration gives financial institutions "a better understanding of the criminal conduct and the patterns of suspicious activity, which produces more complete suspicious activity reporting," Levin, now a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, New York, said.
U.S. AML efforts are spearheaded in the government by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. FinCEN spokesman Stephen Hudak pointed to remarks by Deputy Director Jamal El-Hindi in November that financial intelligence "is most effective when information flows in both directions between the public and private sectors."
Like Stewart, El-Hindi said the USA PATRIOT Act allows the government and financial institutions to share information. "It's a successful program," he said.

Things to keep in mind if you are being investigated for a crime or have been arrested:
Immediately speak with an attorney regarding the situation and retain them if necessary. Ideally, this would be prior to making any statements to law enforcement. Always be polite and courteous with any law enforcement officer. It is important not to make any sudden movements and always keep your hands in sight. Do not interfere with the police or resist/touch an officer. Officers can misinterpret even innocent actions of this nature, and because of the dangers inherent to their job are forced to take precautionary, even deadly measures. Tense situations are always handled best by remaining calm and collected. Always ask if you are under arrest, and do not give a voluntary statement without speaking to an attorney. Most of us can recite the Miranda warnings by heart, or at least the beginning. While the Miranda warning informs you of your rights post-arrest, a voluntary statement made prior to arrest can still be used against you. Never discuss crimes you are being investigated for, or have been charged with anyone except your lawyer. Always be truthful with your attorney. Your attorney is your advocate and works for you.
Confidential criminal defense communications
The attorney-client privilege protects certain communications between a client and his or her lawyer. It exists to assure clients that the information they share with their attorney is confidential, and that their attorney cannot use that information to testify against them. This rule allows clients and potential clients the full confidence in the confidentiality of their conversations with their attorney. Attorneys need to know the entire story to adequately give advice and defend their clients or assess a case. This rule applies to clients and persons seeking to become clients. For your free confidential consultation, give me a call at (918)557-2600.

The owner of a fitness club in Washington state that closed last year will be on trial for first-degree theft.
The pre-trial for Jason Sleater, owner of 509 Fitness in Kennewick, WA, is scheduled for Thursday, with the trial set for June 11. 509 Fitness, which opened in 2008, closed in March 2011.
Sleater is accused of charging several hundred members a gym enhancement fee before closing the club, TV station KNDU reported. Sleater's attorney, Scott Johnson, said last week in a pre-trial hearing that the case is flawed, arguing that Sleater did not have access to the money generated from the enhancement fee, according to the report. The money went instead to a billing company and his business partner, Johnson argued.
Benton County (WA) Prosecuting Attorney Terry Bloor argued in the hearing that Sleater's intent should be examined at the time the withdrawal was made, not what happened afterward, the TV station reported. Bloor added that Sleater went against the advice of the billing company and the business partner when he made the withdrawal. The judge allowed the case to go to trial.
Two months after 509 Fitness closed, employees of the club that took over the space threw out membership files that had credit card and social security information from former 509 Fitness members, TV station KVEW reported.

Rich Chocolate Cupcakes with White Chocolate and Strawberry
Chocolate Cupcakes
makes 12 large cupcakes
1 1/3 cups plain flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup dutch-process cocoa
45g butter, softened
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees C (350 F). Line muffin tins with cases.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
4. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk and beat well.
5. Fill the muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Leave to cool in tins for at least 10 minutes, decorate when completely cool.
White Chocolate and Strawberry 'Frosting'
Ok so it's not really frosting. My vocabulary has deserted me so I can't think of what else to call it :)
180g good quality white chocolate
6 large strawberries
1. Boil a small saucepan of water. Remove from heat and place a bowl full of the chopped white chocolate over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir chocolate until smooth. Allow to cool for 5 minutes or so.
2. Cut each of the strawberries in half. Then, make 4-5 vertical slices in each half, being careful not to slice all the way through.
3. With a dessert spoon, spoon some of the melted chocolate onto each cupcake, using the back of the spoon to ensure even coverage. Leave at room temperature for about 5 minutes so chocolate is firmer but not set.
4. Place a sliced strawberry onto each cupcake, pushing down into the white chocolate a little. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

One battle in the war over the proposed extension of the Long Beach (710) Freeway may soon be over. A bill by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) to restore South Pasadena's power to block a surface freeway through town has passed in the Assembly and is awaiting action in the Senate.
South Pasadena, along with Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge and other nearby communities, is opposed to an extension of the 710 Freeway from its Alhambra terminus to the Foothill (210) Freeway.
Proponents say the link is needed to speed truck traffic from the Port of Los Angeles to inland transportation hubs. Area residents are concerned about construction disruption, traffic, air pollution and costs for the long-planned but never-funded project. South Pasadena is particularly concerned, as the shortest route connecting the 710 and 210 freeways is a 4.5-mile course through the city.
Cedillo's measure restores South Pasadena's right to block construction if the highway were to be built at or above ground level. That right is enjoyed by all cities in the state except South Pasadena, according to Cedillo's office.
In 1982, during another skirmish over the project, language undermining South Pasadena's right was added to the state's Streets and Highways Code, according to South Pasadena Mayor Mike Ten.
Restoring the city's authority would not kill the 710 Freeway extension, since the likely scenario under consideration by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is a tunnel under Alhambra and South Pasadena. An analysis of Cedillo's bill in the Assembly determined that if it passes, "proponents hope to allay South Pasadena's opposition to the tunnel alternative."
Ten, who supports Cedillo's bill, said the measure should not be seen as a way to soften opposition to the tunnel.
"This may have roots in the 710 fight, but it's more about an individual city's rights," Ten said.
But the measure would ensure that MTA's ongoing feasibility studies fully examine the environmental impacts of a tunnel, he added.
"We don't want [the study] tainted by saying, 'We can half-heartedly look at a tunnel, but we know we can always force a surface freeway through," Ten said.
Glendale may cut its $7,300-a-month lobbying contract with Washington-based Ferguson Group because of local and federal budget constraints.
Glendale is trying to close an $18-million gap in its 2011-12 budget. Meanwhile, the federal government has a $14-trillion deficit and Congress has placed a moratorium on earmarking funds for specific projects, putting a chill on the appropriations-related work that municipal lobbyists do.
As a result, Glendale is preparing to go it alone for at least a year or so, according to John Takhtalian, assistant to the city manager.
"Based on what's happening at the federal level, it is not an essential item at this moment," Takhtalian said.
In budget meetings this week, the city put the contract with Ferguson on its list of "discretionary" expenses, the lowest rung after "essential" and "priority." The City Council will make the final call on proposed budget cuts in the coming weeks.
Takhtalian said the city is satisfied with Ferguson's work, which has focused on garnering funds for a planned forensic DNA laboratory in Glendale, the Glendale Narrows Riverwalk and other projects, as well as advocacy related to Glendale Water & Power. But with the federal cupboard bare, there is less to be gained from seeking funds in Washington.
Takhtalian said city officials will take up the task of working with federal agencies and tracking legislation.
"We'll continue to be active and engaged in federal issues that affect the city," he said. "We're just going to have to do it on our own."
Burbank, dealing with an $8.7-million budget gap, is not looking at closing out its contract with federal lobbyist David Turch, according to city spokesman Keith Sterling.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) was among the members of the House Democratic Caucus to meet with President Obama last week.
Schiff said a key topic was reviving the housing and construction industries, which haven't recovered much in the economic recovery.
Schiff is a proponent of reviving the Build America Bonds program, which granted state and local agencies a subsidy equal to 35% of interest costs on taxable bonds. The program was part of the 2009 stimulus bill, which agencies used on $180-billion worth of projects before the program expired in December, saving agencies an estimated $20 billion in interest debt.
Reviving the program, though with a 28% subsidy, is in the president's proposed budget for 2012.
"Where we're really hurting now is jobs in the construction industry," Schiff said. "This program gets people back to work."
The California Legislature is widely criticized for spinning its wheels, but Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D- Silver Lake) got his own wheels in gear May 31 by riding roughly 20 miles from the Sacramento suburb of Fair Oaks to his office at the Capitol. Also pedaling on the American River Bike Trail was Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro (D-Arcata).
The ride came on the last day of National Bike Month. This month Gatto and Chesbro, who both stay in Fair Oaks when the Legislature is in session, plan to take Sacramento's light rail system to work. In July, they plan to kayak in on the American and Sacramento rivers.
Crescenta Valley High School student Youra Oh is the runner-up in the congressional art contest sponsored by Rep. David Dreier (R-San Dimas). Her watercolor and pen work, "The Owl Spirit," will hang in Dreier's San Dimas office for a year.

In June 2007 the University of
Macedonia Press, with the support of the Department of
Typography & Graphic Communication at the University of Reading
(UK) and the Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI),
in collaboration with alterVision, and with the co-operation of
Redfish and the Thessaloniki Design Museum, will be hosting the
3rd International Conference on Typography and Graphic
Communication with the general theme From Verbal to Graphic.
The Conference is part of a programme that has been on the cards
since the end of the eighties, aiming to develop education and
research in typography, as well as advance typographic practice
in Greece. This effort has exceeded the modest boundaries of
Greece, culminating in the two international conferences of 2002
and 2004, which put Thessaloniki on the worldwide typographic
The Conference is now established worldwide as a major event in
the field of typographic design and production, communication,
and publishing. As a headline event characterised by the high
level of organisation, the quality of presentations, workshops,
and exhibitions, the Conference is a focal point for
professionals in design and visual communication that attracts
interest on an international scale to Thessaloniki, making the
city the capital of typography during the proceeedings.
In 2007 the Organising Committee seeks to exceed the
expectations generated by the first two conferences. This time
round the effort is supported by ATypI and the University of
Reading, famous for the distinguished Department of Typography &
Graphic Communication. The conference will host top-level
speakers, both professionals and academics, from Greece and the
international scene. Their presence guarantees the high level
and success of the event, and their contribution is expected to
spark debate and reflection on the developments in research,
education, and practice in typography. Parallel events will
include workshops, demonstrations by companies active in these
fields, round-table discussions, debates, exhibitions,
competitions, and promotion of new technologies in typography
and visual communication.
Throughout its duration the conference will, once again, enrich
the cultural life of Thessaloniki, as well as Greece, by placing
them at the centre of interest for the international typography
and visual communication community.

Dr. Jolene Vos-Camy of the Calvin College French faculty will speak on the rich tradition and influence of 17th-century French women writers on Western literature on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at 4 p.m. in room 135 of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication.
The event is sponsored by the college's French Studies Colloquium. Her PowerPoint-illustrated presentation will be delivered in English.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Vos-Camy is a professor of French and chair of the department at Calvin, where she has taught since 1997. She has been a contributing editor to "French 17," an annual descriptive bibliography, since 2000. She has published mainly on authors of the French 17th century, such as Paul Scarron and his Roman comique, and the novels of Catherine Bernard. Her most recent research has focused on a lesser well-known 17th-century author, Antoinette de Salvan de Saliès.
In her spare time, she keeps busy with her family, enjoying kids' basketball games and music lessons among other things. She tries to get to France every year or two to visit family and friends. And she's tentatively planning on climbing Mont Blanc next June.
The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication is located at 257 Columbia Ave., at the corner of Columbia Avenue and 10th Street.

For example the Buddha of both the Pali Theravada and the Sanskrit Mahayana sutras was disparaging of dancing while Tai Sheridan apparently enjoys it and therefore Dhammapada verse 16 can be rendered as "do good dance joyfully".
And then what one of the comments were to Ven. Dhammika's blog post:What is very familiar about The Bare Bones Dhammapada is the assumption underlying it: "I happen to believe in and like (fill in the gap) and that's what the Buddha taught."
Of course, monastic teachers could do that too, but probably more likely to occur among lay people who want to market the Dhamma/Dharma.To be honest, I'm quite horrified to read the brief synopsis offered in your blog (as well as on the Amazon page for the book), as it confirms a serious concern about the state and fate of Buddhism in the West. However, it also brings forth much gratitude for the small, but growing, western monastic Sangha. dedicated to the Word of the Buddha, and fidelity to the ancient texts.

Hunting And Fishing Guide Guilty Of Federal Wildlife Violation
Department of Justice
Office of Public Affairs
"Gar Guy" admits that he transported alligator killed in violation of state and federal law
BEAUMONT, Texas – A 49-year-old Kennard, Texas, hunting and fishing guide has pleaded guilty to transporting an alligator that he knew had been shot in violation of state and federal wildlife laws, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
Steve Barclay, 49, pleaded guilty on Aug. 13, 2013, before U.S. Magistrate Keith F. Giblin to the felony offense of transporting wildlife taken in violation of federal law. Barclay admitted that on May 8th, 16th, and 20th of 2008 he witnessed John A. McCall, a client for whom he was providing guide services, shoot and kill a total of three alligators even though Barclay knew that Texas law limits hunters to one alligator per hunter per season. Barclay admitted that he transported the alligator killed on May 20th in Leon County to Sportsman's Memory taxidermy shop in Grapeland, Texas.
The Endangered Species Act prohibits the taking of any threatened species of fish or wildlife in violation of any federal or state regulation pertaining to such species. Alligators are listed as a threatened species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. The Lacy Act prohibits the transport, receipt, or acquisition of any wildlife taken, possessed, or transported in violation of any law, treaty, or regulation of the United States.
Although Barclay is facing up to 5 years in federal prison and a $250,000.00 fine, his plea agreement with the government, subject to approval by the court, calls for a $5,000 fine and three years' probation.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Law Enforcement, Houston, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Criminal Investigations Division, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Noble.
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. It is both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for its scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals, and commitment to public service.

Published January 13, 2015
Chris Sale struck out seven during a one-hit shutout on Sunday, as the Chicago White Sox blanked the LA Angels of Anaheim, 3-0, to salvage the finale of a three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field.
Sale (4-2) was nearly perfect, allowing just one hit on a clean single up the middle from Mike Trout with one away in the seventh inning.
"If you are going to give it up, you might as well give it up to him," Sale said of losing his bid at a perfect game to Trout.
Chris Iannetta was the only other Angel to reach base on an error to start the ninth, but the lanky left-hander bounced back by inducing a double-play groundout from Luis Jimenez before flying out Alberto Callaspo to secure his first career shutout and second complete game.
"I come to the ballpark every day when I'm pitching and just want to keep my team in the game and win this game," Sale added.
Alexei Ramirez recorded three hits, two RBI and a run scored, while Alex Rios added an RBI double to help the White Sox snap a four-game home skid.
C.J. Wilson (3-2) allowed all three runs on six hits and four walks over 6 2/3 frames to absorb the loss, which snapped LA's three-game winning streak.
"When he's on he's unbelievable," Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton said of Sale. "He mixes his pitches well. It's almost like you've got to give up one to kind of focus on something else."
After singling in the seventh to break up Sale's bid at perfection, Trout moved to second on an Albert Pujols' groundout before stealing third.
Sale responded by fanning Mark Trumbo to escape unscathed before Chicago's offense finally came to life in the bottom half.
Tyler Flowers worked a one-out walk off Wilson and Tyler Greene followed with a single to center.
Both runners moved up a base on Wilson's wild pitch, and after Alejandro De Aza grounded out for the second out, Ramirez ripped a single through the hole on the left side to score Flowers and Greene for a 2-0 lead.
Michael Kohn took over for Wilson and Rios greeted the LA reliever with a run- scoring double into the left-field corner to provide Sale with more than enough run support.
Game Notes
Sale's only other complete game came on June 3, 2012 when he struck out eight and allowed two runs on five hits in a 4-2 win over the Seattle Mariners ... Chicago manager Robin Ventura earned his 100th win with the club, becoming the 27th manager in White Sox history to accomplish the feat ... LA took two of three from Chicago in the series to notch its first road series victory of the season ... Chicago went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left eight on base.

New York, 23 September 2013: Unleash potential of children and adults with disabilities today to shape richer, more inclusive global agendas
NEW YORK, 23 September – As the 2013 UN General Assembly for the first time convenes a special meeting on the issue of children and adults with disabilities, UNDP and UNICEF, along with the Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities (GPcwd), are urging Member States, UN agencies, civil society groups and other partners to engage more with people with disabilities themselves in the crafting of global agendas.
"People with disabilities – including children -- are too often judged by what they cannot do, rather than what they can do," said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. "This meeting provides a great opportunity to harness the advice, ideas and vision of people with disabilities to improve not only their lives, but our own, as well."
The evidence provided by the World Report on Disability shows that compared to non-disabled people, children and adults with disabilities experience less legal protection, higher rates of poverty, lower educational achievements, poorer health care and less political and cultural participation. Disability disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, with higher disability prevalent in lower income countries, and among women, children and older people. Adults with disabilities are more likely to be unemployed and to earn less when they are. Children with disabilities are less likely to attend school, which in turn decreases their chances of developing skills for future employment.
With the General Assembly as a backdrop, a series of events will give a strong voice to children and adults with disabilities. A high level meeting on 23 September will focus on disability-inclusive development agenda towards 2015 and beyond, building on the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006.
"One billion people—one seventh of the world's population—are calling on us to act. Calling on decision-makers worldwide to take action, in partnership with persons with disabilities, to make decisions that will affect every aspect of their lives and those of their families," said Yannis Vardakastanis, Chair, International Disability Alliance.
"Some progress has been made in improving the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in society. However, in spite of such gains, the rights of persons with disabilities remain largely invisible in most mainstream development processes," said Vardakastanis. "That must change."
Such global processes should include persons with disabilities, making full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in society a reality, and not just an ideal.
In conjunction with the high-level meeting, the Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities will hold its second annual Forum. Convened by UN agencies to partner with civil society, the GPcwd is a network of more than 240 organizations, including international NGOs, national and local NGOs, Disabled People's Organizations, governments, academia and the private sector, working to advance the rights of children with disabilities at the global, regional and country level.
During a luncheon at the GPcwd, the United Nations Partnership to Promote the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNPRPD) will launch a publication that documents the perspective of people with disabilities on the post-2015 development framework. The UNPRPD is a unique collaborative effort that brings together UN entities, governments, organizations of persons with disabilities and the broader civil society to advance disability rights around the world.
The publication, "TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE AND ACCESSIBLE FUTURE FOR ALL: Voices of persons with disabilities on the post-2015 development framework," documents the perspectives of persons with disabilities on inclusive development in ways that are directly relevant to on-going discussions on the post-2015 agenda and compelling for policy makers, mainstream development practitioners and other key stakeholders. Interviewees stress that the human-rights approach must understand disability as an expression of human diversity, and as such is a crosscutting issue that is relevant to all domains of human life. The publication calls for disability-disaggregated data, accessible physical environments, and mechanisms of accountability.
"The first step in shaping a future that builds on the potential of people with disabilities is inclusion," said UNDP Associate Administrator Rebeca Grynspan, "As the world starts to put together its roadmap for a post-2015 era, the call "Nothing about us without us" has special resonance."

Irish drug maker Actavis (NYSE:ACT) launched a $25 billion cash-and-stock buyout of rival Forest Laboratories (NYSE:FRX) on Tuesday, forming a beefed-up specialty pharmaceutical company with $15 billion in annual revenue.
Continue Reading Below
The deal calls for Actavis to pay $26.04 in cash and 0.3306 shares for each share of Forest common stock. That translates to a price tag of $89.48, representing a 25% premium on Forest's closing price on Friday of $71.39.
The deal creates an "innovative new model in specialty pharmaceuticals leadership, with size and scale, a balanced offering of strong brands and generics, a focus on strategic, lower-risk drug development, and -- most important -- the ability to drive sustainable organic growth," Actavis CEO Paul Bisaro said in a statement.
Actavis said the transaction is expected to yield double-digit accretion to the company's non-GAAP EPS in 2015 and 2016, annual free cash flow north of $4 billion next year and $1 billion in operating and tax synergies.
"This compelling combination gives us more optionality to drive future growth and sustainable shareholder value due to our expanded geographic and therapeutic presence, ability to drive new product flow through R&D, strong balance sheet and consistent cash flow," said Forest CEO Brent Saunders.
The combined company will be led by Bisaro, but Saunders agreed to join the Actavis board of directors and work with Bisaro following the close of the deal. As part of the deal, three Forest directors will be named to the Actavis board.
Long known for its portfolio of generic pharmaceuticals, Dublin-based Actavis agreed to acquire gastrointestinal and urological drug maker Warner Chilcott (NASDAQ:WCRX) last year for $8.5 billion.
Shareholders of both companies approved the latest combination.
Shares of New York-based Forest surged 30.48% to $93.15 Tuesday morning, leaving them up 55% on the year. Actavis rallied 7.50% to $206.32, extending its 2014 gain to 22.7%.
The companies did not specify when they see the deal closing, though they noted it faces shareholder and regulatory approval.
To help pay for the acquisition, Actavis said it has bridge loan commitments from Bank of America Merrill Lynch (NYSE:BAC) and Mizuho Financial Group (NYSE:MFG) "pending execution of its final financing plans."
Greenhill & Co. (NYSE:GHL) served as financial advisor to Actavis, while JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) advised Forest.

The Phylum Chordata includes the well-known vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals). The vertebrates and hagfishes together comprise the taxon Craniata. The remaining chordates are the tunicates (Urochordata), lancelets (Cephalochordata), and, possibly, some odd extinct groups. With few exceptions, chordates are active animals with bilaterally symmetric bodies that are longitudinally differentiated into head, trunk and tail. The most distinctive morphological features of chordates are the notochord, nerve cord, and visceral clefts and arches.
Chordates are well represented in marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats from the Equator to the high northern and southern latitudes. The oldest fossil chordates are of Cambrian age. The earliest is Yunnanozoon lividum from the Early Cambrian, 525 Ma (= million years ago), of China. This was just recently described and placed with the cephalochordates. Another possible cephalochordate is Pikaia from the Middle Cambrian. These fossils are highly significant because they imply the contemporary existence of the tunicates and craniates in the Early Cambrian during the so-called Cambrian Explosion of animal life. Two other extinct Cambrian taxa, the calcichordates and conodonts, are uncertainly related to other Chordata. In the Tree of Life project, conodonts are placed as a subgroup of vertebrates.
Chordates other than craniates include entirely aquatic forms. The strictly marine Urochordata or Tunicata are commonly known as tunicates, sea squirts, and salps. There are roughly 1,600 species of urochordates; most are small solitary animals but some are colonial, organisms. Nearly all are sessile as adults but they have free-swimming, active larval forms. Urochordates are unknown as fossils. Cephalochordata are also known as amphioxus and lancelets. The group contains only about 20 species of sand-burrowing marine creatures.
The Cambrian fossils Yunnanozoon and Pikaia are likely related to modern cephalochordates.
During the Ordovician Period (510 -439 Ma) jawless or agnathan fishes appeared and diversified. These are the earliest known members of Vertebrata, the chordate subgroup that is most familiar to us. Fossils representing most major lineages of fish-like vertebrates and the earliest tetrapods (Amphibia) were in existence before the end of the Devonian Period (363 Ma). Reptile-like tetrapods originated during the Carboniferous (363 - 290 Ma), mammals differentiated before the end of the Triassic (208 Ma) and birds before the end of the Jurassic (146 Ma).
The smallest chordates (e.g. some of the tunicates and gobioid fishes) are mature at a length of about 1 cm, whereas the largest animals that have ever existed are chordates: some sauropod dinosaurs reached more than 20 m and living blue whales grow to about 30 m.

Angeles National Forest
Angeles National Forest [2] is a national forest in Southern California.
The Angeles National Forest borders the San Bernardino National Forest. Some areas of each are only really accessible by travelling through the other. Sometimes this means that the forests are referenced interchangeably and it is often hard to discern in which national forest some locations are.
Flora and fauna[edit]
The Angeles National Forest is in Southern California, and the weather acts accordingly. For much of the year the forest has warnings posted regarding fires. Even at some of the higher elevations it can stay a bit warm. During the winter, however, it can get cold. From the months of December through March there is often snow on the ground to be enjoyed by those up for some skiing, innertubing, or general snowplay.
Get in[edit]
On the Eastern side[edit]
Heading West on the 210 Freeway
Parking permits can be purchased at the ranger's station in Mount Baldy Village. On some days permits are not required. If you are cited the fee is usually just the amount of a parking pass.
Generally, most areas of the Angeles National Forest will require parked vehicles to show either a $5 day pass, or an Adventure Pass ($30; valid for one year). The latter, which is also valid at three other National Forests in Southern California, can be purchased at local sporting goods stores. The ANF website provides a list of local vendors. [3]
Get around[edit]
By car
See[edit][add listing]
Suggested Day Hikes[edit]
Take the 210 Interstate and exit on Mountain Avenue heading North into the Angeles National Forest. Follow Mountain Avenue until the intersection with Shinn Road and turn left. Follow Shinn Road until Mt. Baldy Road and turn right. Follow this road through two tunnels, Mt. Baldy village and finally up to Manker Flats. After the road becomes dual carriage way, look out on the left for sign to the San Antonio Falls Road. Park here but don't block the gate.
Follow the track after the first switch back when you are over the trailhead. A single-track path veers up to the left. Follow this one. The light-green ski hut is approximately at 8200 feet. Please take a break there! After that it is a fairly rapid climb to the 10064 feet of Mount Baldy (San Antonio) summit. There are hazardous drops along the trail, although it doesn't get much worse than the Devil's Backbone section, which you will see immediately. Not recommended with young children or during precipitation (which is unusual during most of the year anyway).
Descend eastwards along the Devil's Backbone ridge and watch out especially in snowy/icy/rainy conditions, as the path has partially been covered by landslides in some spots. Back at the Baldy Notch Skihut at 7800 feet, take the ski lift down for $15 or if you haven't had enough walking for one day descend by the dirt track back to Manker Flats (approximately 1 hour).
There are many well-marked trails accessible from Icehouse Canyon. The trailhead is easy to find. Heading up from Calremont/Upland take the road until it ends. Instead of making a right to continue up to Mount Baldy, simply follow the road the short distance to the parking lot. The old Icehouse is at the top of the parking lot and the trailhead is to the right.
The first destination many follow is to simply hike to the saddle. From the saddle you can see the valleys on the north side of the range and on the south. There is a large open area for picnicking or just relaxing. From here there are trails heading in three directions that will take a little more time and will reach the summits of some of the more well-known peaks in this area. The hike to the saddle is easy enough to follow. Trail markers point the way to the old route or the newer trail. The hike more-or-less follows the river (or creek, rather, depending on time of year and rainfall) up to the saddle. It is a well-traveled and well-maintained path with many places to stop along the way and enjoy the surroundings.
Upon approaching Icehouse Saddle there is a sign to your left that marks the trail to the Three T's. The three T's are Timber, Telegraph, and Thunder Mountains. The trail will take you near to the peaks of these three mountains and will eventually drop you off near the notch where the trail continues on to Mount Baldy or down the ski slope. This trail is more strenuous and takes a fair amount of time. It should also be kept in mind that the trail ends at the notch. If you're hiking in a group it may be a good idea to have cars parked at both the icehouse and the ski area park lots.
This trail is about 13 miles roundtrip and can be quite strenuous, but worth the work. From the saddle the trail is marked ahead to your right. The trail runs behind the mountain for much of the climb and makes several switchbacks. It eventually wraps back around to the southern side and climbs the last bit to the summit, where a breath-taking view is available of the Inland Empire. There was once a sign-in post at the peak. All that is left is the bottom stump of the post. Take note of where you've hiked from as this is the meeting place for multiple trails from both sides of the mountain. Head back down the way you've come or hike on over and meet up with the trails from Lytle Creek. If you do the latter make sure you've got some time and a car to take you back to where you came from. Also make sure you've brought your camera. It's definitely a shot you'll want to remember.
From Icehouse Saddle this trail begins from your hard right. The sign is sometimes hard to see due to trees. This trail is also one of the least maintained summit paths from the saddle. This can be good if you're looking for some solitude but thusly more dangerous if you're less experienced with hiking or even with this area in general. There are a few trail markers along the way, but if you're hiking in the off-season these can be hidden by snow and neglect. Follow the trail on up and you'll be granted a view of all the other summits in the area as well as a shot of the valley, smog allowing.

Mount Baldy Lodge has 6 cabins to stay at. A bit farther up the hill is Snow Crest Lodge.
Manker Flats has several sites for overnight camping.
There are places along the trails where camping is permitted, such as Kelly's Camp on the trail to Ontario Peak. Permits can be acquired at the ranger's station.
Stay safe[edit]
While most of the area is fairly frequently traveled and patrolled by hikers as well as the county sherrif's department, caution should be used when traveling through the forest. Some of the trails can be more strenuous than you may first suspect and leaving the trails can be dangerous. During the winter months there can be a good deal of snow and ice on the paths. Spend some time to research the trails, talk to the rangers, and make your time here as enjoyable as it should be. Also, the forest has seen its share of wildlife including bear and mountain lion. Take all necessary precautions when hiking, camping, or just wandering through.
Get out[edit]
On the west of the forest is Hwy 2 which requires just a short jaunt to Pasadena or Glendale. Heading East can take you through the San Bernardino National forest to Wrightwood. A more south-east departure will pass you on into Ontario.
