PLUM LAKE, Wis. (WSAU) - A ground search in Vilas County prompted by a hunter finding some clothing has led investigators to human remains near Plum Lake.
Investigators are now analyzing the evidence to see if the remains are from a missing Sayner woman that disappeared in April of 2012. Sandra Schinke was last seen April 5th, 2012 walking along county highway "N" about 2 miles east of Sayner.
The hunter found a shoe and a small jacket, and thought it was out of the ordinary and contacted authorities.
Vilas County Sheriff's deputies, Wisconsin State Patrol, DNR wardens, and other agencies searched the area and found the remains. Forensic specialists will try to establish a positive identification by using dental records.
The location of the human remains is only about a mile and a half from where Schinke disappeared.

We wrote about Behrokh Khoshnevis' awe-inspiring, rapid-prototyping "robo builder" in 2005 when it was still a work in progress. But now, the University of Southern California professor's contour crafting machine will be put to the test; it's scheduled to erect its first house in California within the next few months. The two-story house will built in less than 24 hours out of only concrete and gypsum — and without the help of a single human hand. Khoshenevis' groundbreaking robo-builder has caused some raised eyebrows and dropped jaws within the architectural community, as the machine provides a new model for construction that drastically cuts building timelines, material, manpower, and most importantly, waste and carbon emissions.
"The architectural options will explode," predicts Dr Behrokh Khoshnevis at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, "Right now, your shoes, clothes, and car are already made automatically, but your house is built by hand- and it doesn't make sense."
Robo-building could completely revolutionize the building industry. A typical American house takes at least six months to complete, generating roughly four tons of waste. The new robo-builder will be able to erect most structures in about a day, generating far less waste in the process. Khoshnevis believes that the contour crafter will ultimately be able to create structures using adobe, mud and straw dried by the sun rather than cement.
The USC engineering professor was inspired to build this machine after an earthquake destroyed the city of Bam in his native Iran. Witnessing the devastation, Khoshnevis realized that a technology was needed to allow people to build stable homes in a rapid and economical manner. The first commercially available contour crafting machines are expected to be ready in 2008.

- bruins84Dined on 9/27/2014We came for a special occasion. The food was and service was excellent. Two members of our party have severe food allergies, but after speaking with the manager, I felt confident that their diet could be accommodated. Our server was very helpful - he consulted with the chef on good food choices and the kitchen specially prepared some of the dishes. The portion sizes are generous. The outstanding dish at our table was the Lamb Souvlaki. Note: The restaurant is a historical building so there are no elevators for anyone who cannot walk stairs.Special Features:
- Nice but slowAnaDVIPDined on 9/27/2014The place is great for outdoor dining, we ordered appetizers that took way too long considering they were remade items. THe main course did come quickly and were delicious!Special Features:

- It was ok, not impressive.DinerDined on 9/22/2014Food was a bit bland. Service was ok. Our server gave us "the look" when we asked him to split the bill for us. He did it though.Special Features:
- Wonderful place in Old TownTanninsDined on 9/20/2014Great happy hour - Must orders are the grilled calamari, saffron clams (ask for more bread, it's all about the sauce!!!), croquettes. Outdoor seating is ideal just before sunset. The tables are a bit too close to each other and the service is all dependent on who you get as a waiter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good old place getting tiredTlcfoodieDined on 9/19/2014This place needs some TLC. It's never a good thing to notice going in that a restaurant needs some basic upkeep, paint, cleaning, bathroom help. It's gotten tired looking and it's a sign that they don't take pride in their establishment anymore. The service was good. The food was just ok. (Lambshank was a bit tough and not hot.) We won't run back and can't recommend it. It's sad because Old Town and Cafe Santorini are not what they used to be for dining.Special Features:
- Mark Dmdavi007VIPDined on 9/18/2014Great outdoor dining. We've done several large family celebration dinners at Cafe Santorini and have never been let down. BTW - the calamari is a MUST HAVE.Special Features:
- Bill LacknerEBLosAngelesDined on 9/17/2014Everything was good about the Santorini Cafe, service and all, but this was the first time (a birthday dinner) we had to contend with swiping flies off our plates while eating dinner - and lots of them. Didn't expect it to be exercising while I'm eating. It was gross and it ruined the whole experience for us.Special Features:
- Always greatLaurieSVIPDined on 9/17/2014Once again a fabulous meal. The grilled calamari cannot be beat. The specials are always interesting and good. Prices are quite reasonable. Service is the best.Special Features:

- Turn it upJoycdVIPDined on 8/30/2014food was good, restaurant too hot and made it less than a wonderful experienceSpecial Features:
- Great for special occassion!DrinPasadenaDined on 8/28/2014We celebrated my wife's birthday earlier this month; sat out on the outdoor balcony; sangria, brashetta, salad and halibut were outstanding-and they brought out a small chocolate cake with candle! So, this was the natural choice to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary-and again the quality of the service and food was excellent! A great place to celebrate a special occasion!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't miss it!PJofChagrinDined on 8/25/2014We love to eat out and this was one of the best meals we've had in years. It was a Tuesday night so they were busy but not crowded. We had Caesar salad, meatball soup (special), the lamb shank and chicken kabobs. Each dish was a "10", including molten chocolate cake and expresso. Great wait staff. This will be a regular stop when we visit Pasadena.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luv2dineDined on 8/24/2014excellent location; great food; outstanding ambience. great place to meet for any occasion!Special Features:
- Off the beaten path...Jewelee22Dined on 8/22/2014This was mine and my husbands first time here and we loved it and plan on returning. My friend that went with us suggested it. The ambiance was great, not dark but not bright, the restaurant was clean, and the decor was very nice. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for our table. The only thing wrong was the bartender forgot one of our drinks and we had to reorder. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The prices were reasonable for the overall experience. I like too that it's not right on Colorado, it's a block or two away from Colorado. It seemed like more locals than tourists, which I enjoyed since I live local. Absolutely a great restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foodlove2dineDined on 8/22/2014me and my wife like the food, but they sat us to close to another table that we can hear there conversation, the drink are pricey but the food is amazing. next time ill request to be sat outside. total me and my wife spend $170 plus tip. I would like to visit this place again when is not to crowded.Special Features:
- A Lovely Evening Under the Stars...SoCalgalDined on 8/22/2014Summer breezes, good wine and excellent food. Out on the upstairs patio at Santorini on an August night. Away from all the hustle and noise of the street, it was truly a wonderful restaurant experience. Service was excellent and food was very good. Lots of great selections on the menu. Our server made some great recommendations and while I wasn't really expecting great service with all the people there (it was packed!), he was attentive, personable and professional. The patio can be a bit loud, and the tables are pretty close together but the timing worked out so that the table next to us left soon after we sat down...so it was fine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently WonderfulLaurieSVIPDined on 8/21/2014This has become our default restaurant. The service is always top-notch. The food is varied and fresh and excellent. We eat at Cafe Santorini quite often.Special Features:
- Good food. Needs more a/cRjk412Dined on 8/16/2014The food was very good and the back waiters were nice. Our particular waiter seemed a little checked out and wanted a quick table turn over. He never checked to see if we liked our food. Overall good food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for special occasionsCaliStardustDined on 8/16/2014We celebrated a graduation here with and it was fantastic. The food was excellently prepared and the portions were quite large. Everything tasted very fresh and full of flavor. The martini I got was also very well made, not too strong with a perfect balance of fruit flavors. We brought a cake and the restaurant was very accommodating. Our servers were very attentive and made sure we always had refills on our waters and had everything we needed.Special Features:
- Birthday LunchersBirthdayLunchersDined on 8/12/2014Cafe Santorini was the perfect choice for our party of 8 dual birthday celebration luncheon! The table on the patio, the service & the food were ALL outstanding! The "birthday girl" declared her Rib Eye Salad the best salad (especially the dressing) she's ever eaten! EVERYONE enjoyed their selections! Not a negative comment from anyone about anything...which, with this group, is unusual! I would highly recommend this restaurant for lunch &/or any celebration!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place!!MissMcFlyVIPDined on 8/10/2014The food is great a so is the service. Not to mention, the outdoor seating offers a beautiful veiw.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodLuv2dineDined on 8/10/2014Great food, great presentation and all except one grumpy waiter if was great service. It was really warm inside and because its really crowded it made it worse. I think the outdoor seating is best but they need to give customers personal space between tables. Some seating is close enough to hear whispers. The food and outdoor seating is worth it so I'll be coming back. Beware, there is a cake cutting fee that they don't tell you about.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OscarDined on 8/9/2014Great food, but tables are very close together where we were sitting so we had no privacy. No room for waiting area.Special Features:
- SkeetmanDined on 8/9/2014We've been to this restaurant a number of times, and have always enjoyed it. Great value, excellent food, very nice ambience. Our experience was marred this time by two things: (1) a large party of single women were partying a little too hard, and a couple of them had loud, shrieking laughs. And (2) our server was pretty poor. After our meal was served, we never saw him again. I typically have two glasses of wine with my meal, but never the opportunity to order that second glass.Special Features:
- *Thumbs upOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/3/2014I discovered this restaurant 4 years ago and I am still in love with all they have to offer. Service and attention to detail has gotten better and better every time I visit. Thank you Cafe Santorini!Special Features:
- More than satisfiedDinerDined on 8/2/2014We had a 7 pm reservation on a busy Saturday night. They seated us immediately out on the beautiful balcony that I requested. Yes, the tables are a bit close together. I recommend getting one next to the restaurant or the flowered covered railing. Still, it is not really a problem. My date and I had no trouble holding a conversation in our normal speaking voices. Plus, and she really liked this, you can actually dress nicely here and feel at home. The service was terrific. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I mean everyone, from the hostess to the busboy, and of course, the waiter. As for the food? It was the best mousaka I have ever had. Her lamb dish was also excellent. I will be coming back here.Special Features:
- Romantic neighborhood gemtboneDined on 8/1/2014Beautiful Bldg, loved the hole in the wall feeling then finding it and walking up staris to the resturant. My boyfriend and i had resevations that we were a little early for, so we ended up waiting at the bar which was nice. The service at the bar was outstanding up untill our table was ready and they didnt offer to take our bottle of wine and glasses to our table. We had to carry everything ourselfs through the crowded room. We requested eating on the patio, it was a beautiful area in-between bricked walls, the lighting was perfect for a special ocassion. The food was great, the service at our table was not so great, towards the end of the night it looked like our server ignored the smaller tables and only waited on his bigger parties.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disapointingicemanDined on 8/1/2014Went here with my girlfriend for our anniversary. She ordered what the waiter recommended (fish) and was very disappointed. She only took two bites and couldn't finish the rest. I ordered the shrimp with noodles( can't recall the proper name) and it was okay. I only finished half of my plate. The waiter was nice. Paid $61.00 for our dinner for 2 plates neither one if us enjoyed. The ambience was very nice.Special Features:
- Mediterranean EscapeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014It had been some years since I last visited Cafe Santorini, and I'm so happy to see that it hasn't lost its old world charm. What a great place to celebrate an intimate birthday dinner with friends and family. Our server, a native from Greece, was very polite and personable. The white sangria is a refreshing choice on the terrace on a warm summer evening. All of the seafood dishes our group ordered were presented beautifully, right out of a culinary magazine. If I had to note one complaint, it would be that our server forgot our request for olive oil to dip the bread in.Special Features:

Reviews for Herbed Artichoke Cheese Tortellini
Sort By :
Fresh looking and tasting, but a little bland. I put sliced Italian Sausage on it though, and that was excellent.
Yum! I added some thawed & drained spinach for an easy one dish meal!
Absolutely fabulous!! The only change I made was that I used a large can of crushed tomatoes instead of diced. I didn't have them on hand. I also used grated Parmesan instead of shredded. Will most definitely make again.
This was fantastic!
This recipe was GREAT! I also used grated Parmesan cheese and it tasted fine. Even my husband (who thinks any meal without meat can't be considered dinner) loved this! Thanks for a great Meatless Monday recipe!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"Arthas laughs at your attempts to be a "paragon of virtue and justice." Killing his minions and looting their gear only corrupts your paladin further down the path the Lich King has laid for you.
Just as Arthas took up Frostmourne for the sake of justice and vengeance, paladins must don the armor of the damned in order to grow stronger in the hopes of defeating the Scourge.
You've been following in his footsteps the whole time."
Breaking from my rant of damnation, the Tier 7.5 seems to drop rank from the remainder of the Paladin Epics that make you look more like a Death Knight than a servant of the Light...
I doubt that Blizzard will continue down that path though, after looking at the armor model previews for Tier 8. :|

Dear St. John's Parents,
Our office has a full schedule of events planned for the semester, and we encourage students to attend. The Career Services Office recently partnered with the Alumni Office to host a very successful Alumni-Student Networking breakfast at Homecoming, with more than 100 alumni in attendance. All students were invited to participate, and we were impressed that approximately 100 turned up bright and early on a Saturday morning! We hope your student took advantage of the opportunity to talk with alumni about their path post-St. John's – they're such valuable resources for us.
Two programs highlighted are the Hodson Internship and Pathways Fellowship grants. The Hodson program was established in 2000, and more than 300 students have completed summer internships with assistance from the grant. Recent Hodson interns have worked at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., the Institute for Mind & Body in Chicago, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among many others. Senior Gordon Seltz (A14) talks about his Hodson internship at an investment banking firm in the current issue of The College, the St. John's alumni magazine. Read the article by senior Nutchapol Boonparlit.
The Pathways Fellowship is a new program that began in 2012. Last summer our first group of students completed their experiences ranging from taking Intermediate Greek at Catholic University to attending Princeton in Beijing to study Chinese to two sessions at the Yale Writers' Conference. If your students are interested in applying for either of these programs, please encourage them to attend our Facebook page, and include information in one of our two newsletters sent to all students through e-mail. The deadline to apply for a Pathways Fellowship is December 11, and for a Hodson grant, February 20, 2014.
We encourage you to explore our website, particularly the page for parents. We've posted a timeline students can follow throughout their four years and some tips for how you can help your students in the career development process.
Finally, if you work for an organization that hires interns or for permanent positions, we can post them for you in Agora, our jobs and internship database.
We look forward to working with your students and hope they come visit us and participate in our programs early in their St. John's career!
The Career Services Office

In an interview with a Phoenix radio station, Coyotes captain Shane Doan revealed some good news for Coyotes fans.
One, that prospective owner Greg Jamison has secured the money to purchase the Coyotes and two, that he's agreed to a new deal with the team; he's just waiting on Jamison to acquire the team to make it official.
"My goal has been to stay here the whole time," Doan told radio station XTRA 910 in Phoenix. "Don and Tip and the organization have been great. We have a deal worked out that we just want to make sure that the team gets signed and that everything gets done and it gets done before the 15th."
Doan went on to say that Jamison has the funds to complete the deal to purchase the Coyotes and is optimistic it will go through soon.
"Mr. Jamison has the money. Mr. Bettman has said its all good, according to the NHL, and it's going to go through. It's just a matter of getting the lease agreement done now. Obviously that was done earlier. Now there are some things they decided they wanted to change, which obviously can delay things. With that being said, I think that Mr. Jamison and the league have stated it's really up to Glendale and Glendale, they had it done for a while."
Doan did add however, that if Jamison's attempts to purchase the team fall through, he's narrowed his list of teams he'd sign with to just a few.
"It's one of those things I went through a list of criteria of what I would need if I was to go somewhere, and obviously there are a few teams that have hit that criteria," Doan said.
"But again, my whole focus is still with the Coyotes. It's never, ever changed. If anyone has ever talked to me or I talked to other teams I've said all along if I really believe there's a chance, I'm going to do what I can here to make it work. But yeah, there's a group of teams. It's actually probably down to three or four teams now, two or three teams now that I'd be looking at now."

As producers become more proactive than reactive to disease management, the fundamentals of the disease triangle become increasingly important. The three sides of the disease triangle—a conducive environment, a present pathogen and a susceptible host—drive the decision of when (or even whether) to spray fungicides.
"Farmers ask if they could shift their application timing to V5 or split applications to V5 and R1," says Missy Bauer, Farm Journal Associate Field Agronomist. "But it really depends on the disease triangle. All three of these elements must be aligned to have disease present, and there must be some kind of disease pressure for a fungicide to be able to protect or increase yields."
Bauer recently concluded a three-year Farm Journal study examining the impact the disease triangle has on the effectiveness of fungicide and various application timings. The first year of the study included irrigated corn on corn and corn following soybeans, but the final two years focused exclusively on irrigated corn on corn, the environment ripe for higher disease pressure and in turn, a higher response to fungicide application. That's because the disease inoculum can overwinter on old corn residue—and the steady availability of water is more likely to roll out a welcome mat for disease.
"Every year, we ran replicated, randomized trials to evaluate the hybrids' response to fungicide and the timing of application," Bauer explains. "Each year, we used two hybrids—one that is identified by disease ratings as being more susceptible to disease and one with more resistance."
Three application timings at various growth stages were included in the trial: only V5, (five-collar), only R1 (silking) and both V5 and R1. Each was compared with a check of no fungicide. A high-clearance, self-propelled sprayer delivered all applications.
The wettest and most humid of the three years, 2010, provided the opportunity for the strongest response to fungicide use. When the two hybrids were averaged, compared with the check, the application at V5 was 6.2 bu. more; the application at R1 was 9.3 bu. more; and the two timings combined yielded 11.1 bu. more.
"This year [2010] emphasized how important the disease triangle is to fungicide results. We saw early season anthracnose pressure, late-season heavy pressure of northern corn leaf blight and gray leaf spot," Bauer says.
The following year, 2011, brought overall moderate disease pressure. When the yields were averaged for the hybrids, compared with the check, the application at V5 was 1.3 bu. more; the application at R1 was 8.8 bu. more; and the two together were 6.9 bu. more.
In the drought of 2012, Bauer continued the study despite lower disease pressures. When both hybrids were averaged compared with the check, the application at V5 was 1.5 bu. more; the application at R1 showed no response; and the two timings were 1.8 bu. more.
"The hot, dry conditions with low humidity provided a poor environment for disease," Bauer explains.
Overall, the three test years with three wide-ranging in-season environments emphasized the importance of paying attention to the disease triangle when making fungicide decisions.
"You can't adjust any crop management practice without paying attention to the agronomics behind the decisions," she adds.
Built-in defense. Hybrid selection also played a key role in the plot yields. That's because one hybrid had a stronger response to the application based on the characteristics of the host.
For example, in 2010, the hybrid response to fungicide ranged from 6.7 to 12.1 bu., averaged across all three application timings. Within that, the individual hybrid response to timing varied from 0.3 to 14.1 bu.
In 2011, the hybrid response to fungicide ranged from 4.4 bu. to 6.8 bu., averaged across all timings. Within that, the individual hybrid's response to application timing varied from no response to 8.9 bu.
In 2012, one hybrid showed no response to fungicide, while the other hybrid averaged a 4.2 bu. yield bump. That average includes everything from no response to a 7.6 bu. increase.
"It's worth noting that the disease presence in the field and the susceptibility of the hybrid have a tremendous effect on the impact of a fungicide application," Bauer says. "Everything comes back to the disease triangle, and it's important to understand how susceptibility factors play into that."
Harvest view. Fungicide impact carried through fall. "The higher the response to the fungicide, the higher moisture content we saw in the grain," Bauer says. "The response to fungicide kept the plant greener longer, which resulted in slower dry down. Keeping plants healthier for a longer period of time also helped kernel fill."
The yield component most affected by a fungicide application is the kernel depth. Having a high ear count allows for the application to have the greatest impact on yield, which is why Bauer advocates to know ear count.
"A fungicide application improves the kernels on the ears out in the field, but it won't fix an ear count problem," she says.
"Looking at all three years, we can't say there's an effect to making two applications so that one plus one equals three," Bauer notes. "We've seen the most consistent yield response to the application at R1, with the exception of 2012, when there was little disease pressure."
That said, Bauer notes the application at V5 can't be discounted. In 2010, with wet conditions and high humidity, the application at V5 showed a strong yield response, so keeping those plants healthy earlier in the season might have led to the higher yield response. Also, when scouting reveals early season disease pressure, a V5 application can provide early season protection.
No matter what, Bauer recommends not only scouting for disease but knowing the ear count before considering a V5 fungicide application.
In the end, the most successful fungicide decisions key off the disease triangle and recognize that the pieces of the puzzle vary year by year.

The Star-Spangled 200 Celebration is a three-year state-wide commemoration that kicked-off with an international maritime festival in June 2012. The festivities will reach a crescendo in September 2014, when Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine takes center stage in a Star-Spangled tribute to the defense of a nation and the birth of the National Anthem.
Star-Spangled Banner Trail in Maryland Return to the crucial, waning days of the War of 1812, also known as "America's Second War of Independence," by following a 100-mile route between Solomons and Baltimore. Along the way, you'll learn about decisive stands made by American troops against the British invaders, and discover what inspired our National Anthem. Many of these destinations are also part of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network, which means that bay-based recreational opportunities are easily accessible just beyond the historic landmarks. And from Baltimore, you're welcome to extend your trip in order to dig deeper into the life of "Star-Spangled Banner" writer Francis Scott Key. 1. Begin in Solomons, a fishing village with fine seafood dining, a sculpture garden and sites offering information about the War of 1812 Chesapeake Campaign. Among these are the Calvert Marine Museum and Solomons Regional Information Center. 2. The largest naval battle in Maryland's history was between Commodore Joshua Barney's "Chesapeake Flotilla" and British blockaders and took place off the shore of the present-day Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in St. Leonard. This 500-acre park hosts re-enactments and has a discovery room where you can learn more about its role in the War of 1812. BREAK TIME: Golfing, fishing and fossil hunting are favorite Southern Maryland pastimes. 3. In August 1814, more than 4,000 enemy troops sailed up the Patuxent River in search of a landing spot. Ultimately, they decided on Benedict, a town known as much today for its fishing, sailing, and seafood as it is for its War of 1812 history. 4. The British Army and Navy linked for the first time in Upper Marlboro to prepare an attack on Washington, D.C. While you're here, treat yourself to an incredible view at Patuxent River Park or a relaxing horseback ride at Rosaryville State Park. BREAK TIME: Concerts, fairs and sporting events all take place at the versatile Prince George's Equestrian Center/Show Place Arena, based in Upper Marlboro. 5. Sidetrack east into Annapolis, where the Maryland State House dome was used as an observation station. This state capitol offers many ways to reconnect with the past; you can browse war artifacts at the U.S. Naval Academy Museum or visit Francis Scott Key's alma mater, St. John's College and the Chase-Lloyd House, where he married Maryland native Mary Tayloe Lloyd. 6. An ill-prepared American force fought a brave but futile rear-guard action in the vicinity of what is now a waterfront park in Bladensburg. BREAK TIME: Available along the Anacostia River in Bladensburg are pontoon boat tours and canoe, kayak and rowboat rentals, as well as a public fishing pier. 7. After the Battle of Bladensburg, a woman from Riverdale Park volunteered slaves to bury the dead. Today, Riversdale, as the woman's Federal-period plantation home is known, offers docent-guided tours and holds special events. 8. Your route runs around the nation's capitol (which fell without any more fighting), taking you past National Historic Landmarks that are part of the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area. Be sure to stop by the Montpelier Mansion in Laurel for a look at 18-th century artifacts and an arts center.BREAK TIME: Cultural outlets in the College Park, Greenbelt, and Beltsville areas range from performing arts venues to an agricultural research center. 9. In September 1814, British troops came ashore at Fort Howard but were beaten back along what has been aptly named the Defender's Trail. 10. A day later, the British Navy attacking Baltimore was unable to dislodge the courageous soldiers occupying Fort McHenry. It was the sight of these American soldiers struggling "by the dawn's early light" that inspired Francis Scott Key to write our National Anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." In Baltimore, you'll find sites that hold Key's original manuscript and celebrate the maker of the flag that flew defiantly inside the fort. BREAK TIME: The historic maritime community of Fells Point is famous for its friendly taverns and fine dining. EXTEND YOUR TRIP: Francis Scott Key made his home west of Baltimore, in Frederick. Look for a monument near Key's gravesite at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, or tour a museum dedicated to both Key and Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney. If you plan on swinging around to the Eastern Shore, don't forget to stop by St. Michaels – "The Town that Fooled the British." Residents of this Victorian, waterfront village supposedly avoided destruction during a nighttime naval bombing by hanging lanterns in trees north of town, which caused enemy guns to overshoot their targets. Star-Spangled Banner Trail Brochure (Maryland)
The Star-Spangled Banner National Historic TrailEstablished by Congress in 2008, the Star-Spangled Banner Trail is one of 19 national historic trails administered by the National Park Service and one of 30 trails in the National Trails System, which includes the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, and Appalachian Trail.
At 560 miles long, this land and water route connecting historic sites in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia tells the story of the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake Region and commemorates the events leading up to the Battle for Baltimore, the aftermath of which inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the National Anthem. It traces American and British troop movements, introduces visitors to communities affected by the war, and highlights the Chesapeake region's distinctive landscapes and waterways.

@all of you people that really like or love the CIS or just is a fan of CIS.
You should come and join the CIS group here on moddb :)
We already have 30 members but WE NEED YOU to make the group even bigger!
Excerpt form some CIS propa;.. *ahem* motivation:
"Are you a leader of a planet that fears the annexing conducted by Republic forces, that will turn your planet into an industrial hellhole, just to continue the increased welth and growth of their beloved "Coruscant" and other "core-worlds", that anyway are thousands of light-years away??
Fear not! Join us before YOU get oppressed by the corrupt Republic and dogmatic Jedi! D:
Join the Confederation of Independent (free) Systems and get protected by a force of loyal and effective battle droids.
Are your system plauged too by pirate raids on your world(s) frequently? Then dont worry.. you will get a free Providence-class warship complete with a few Munificent-class frigates and a full hangar with various kinds of droid-fighters, bombers and transports, all at your disposal!
And last but not least: If you give the Confederation of Independent Systems the permission to build campaign forwarding buildings on a few designated spots that you mark out...then it is YOU and YOUR system that benefits from the faction-wide shared profits gained from the further expansion and advancement!!"
Hello there =D =P XD
have you not seen the simposns before Youtube.com :p
lolf.. no channel we had aired Simpsons when I was a kid, and now it's really not very high on my foreign culture catch up list...

A new K-5 school is targeting an August 2013 opening an Amsterdam Walk shopping district warehouse space near the corner of Monroe Drive and Amsterdam Avenue.
Midtown International School (MIS) is being planned and designed for students who "learn best in very small class environments, with exposure to a globally-minded curriculum and variety of instructional strategies."
Foreign language instruction, dedicated math and science teachers, and commitment to 21st century learning at MIS will provide an "exceptional foundation for bright young learners to succeed in school and in life" according to school organizers and founder Ande Noktes
Noktes is the executive director of the establsihed International Preschools, which has two area locations in Virginia-Highland and in Morningside's Amsterdam Walk area. Noktes has more than 15 years of experience in teaching and administration, including five in Thailand. She has an MA in Philosophy and a certificate in Preschool Management and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction.
Learn more about the planned curriculum for MIS here.
Recently, Noktes and school organizers hosted an informational presentation at Loca Luna, which is located across the parking lot from the future home of MIS (500 Amsterdam Ave.) See event videos, one featuring a future MIS parent and the other of Noktes discussing the schools, that accompany this article.
At least three more prospective parent meetings will be held in the coming weeks to learn more about MIS. Come meet Noktes, prospective teachers and other committed parents and have all your questions answered and an RSVP is appreciated.
- Monday, Nov 19, 7 p.m.
- Monday, Dec 3, 7 p.m.
- Friday, Dec 7, 8:30 a.m.
If you are unable to attend one of these prospective parent meetings, contact MIS to schedule a more personalized informational session.
Online applications are now available. The deadline for priority consideration is Jan. 15, 2013 and all other applications are due March 1st.
Finally, here is a letter from the school's founder that is on its website:
Dear Prospective Parents and Community Members,
As many of you know, the vision for Midtown International School began over seven years ago in an ambitious strategic plan designed for a dramatically new approach to early learning. It was an exciting and pivotal time in my life: we had just added twins to our family, we were fostering an international high school student, I was beginning the put together applications for my doctoral program, and I decided that starting a preschool would be just the right thing to add to my plate. As a mother of three, a traveler, a philosopher, an avid reader, and a teacher, I had a clear vision for what needed to happen in the first years of life to create lifelong patterns of successful learning. The research was all published; the science was sound; the theories were well-formed and cogent; there were even a few elementary schools beginning to embrace some of the key concepts. The struggle I had, then, was why is no one doing this stuff for preschoolers? So we did. International Preschools moved from a group of four students to 250 students in two campuses in just seven years. It has truly been an adventure and a reward to see those ideas become reality.
And here we are, at the seven year mark, bringing the next phase of the strategic plan to reality with Midtown International School. There are a number of things we know and believe about schools and learning:
- small class sizes maximize learning opportunities
- foreign language learning is more successful if it's done early
- science literacy requires lab time
- music literacy improves dramatically when students learn to play an instrument
- higher order cognitive skills (like analysis, evaluation) require practice
- arts integration creates greater opportunities for many learning styles to interact with the curriculum
- student-planned travel increases retention of knowledge (for language, social and cultural studies, and even math and science standards used in the planning process)
- technology is a fantastic instructor for basic skills
- accountability can be measured in narratives and projects (and what teachers are held accountable for is generally what they will teach)
- primary sources go through fewer layers of interpretation and can be used to create a solid framework for understanding any subject matter
- the degree to which international education is infused into the day to day culture of a school relates directly to the presence of values of tolerance, curiosity, and understanding
- recess and daily physical activity during school hours create a healthier and more successful student population
- subject-matter teachers are more effective when they are subject-matter experts
- teaching via a child's academic strength can improve upon his or her weaker areas
- understanding and embracing each student's learning style is as important as differentiating instruction based on sets of skills and abilities
- enthusiasm for learning trumps all other indicators for academic success
- environmental education and awareness are most effective when accompanied by time spent outdoors
I'm sure I could go on and on for pages! Just as I wondered years ago when I started my first school, I now wonder, where is this school? In reality, this laundry list of knowledge isn't really critical for all, or even many, students. There are dozens of fantastic public and independent schools in the Atlanta area that embrace many of these ideas and do so exceptionally. The students who attend these programs receive an excellent education. Parents choose schools that are a great fit for their family, values, and educational philosophy, and often that means prioritizing the above ideas.
So what do we do for those parents, students, and educators who choose to embrace and expect all of these statements? My experience has been very firmly that if we commit to creating an environment that upholds and stands behind this vision for education, it will become the reality of our school. Some simple changes to the traditional model of independent schools gives MIS viability and sustainability in embracing this high-reaching vision.
- First, MIS is committed to keeping tuition and fundraising dollars in the classroom. Avoiding the high costs of excess administrative staff and expensive supply vendors opens the budget 14-18%.
- Next, smaller class sizes reduce wear and tear on technology, facilities, and, frankly, our teachers.
- Using instructional technology to introduce basic skills frees up class and instructional time for the invaluable experiences that engage learners at a higher level.
- Generating and facilitating community partnerships with Atlanta's unique and diverse museums, gardens, foundations, and universities leverages resources for our students, teachers, and classrooms. Symbiotically, these partnerships build community awareness and appreciation for these incredible sources of expertise right in our backyard.
Thank you for sharing some of your time with me today. I am always happy to meet to discuss any questions you might have beyond what is covered here. If MIS sounds like it might be a match for your family, please reach out! We look forward to hearing from you!

UNION GROVE, WI (WTAQ) - A Wisconsin World War II veteran has finally received his Prisoner of War Medal.
91-year-old Dale Ellington fought back tears as his wife pinned the medal on her husband's jacket at a Union Grove Veterans home on Sunday.
The U.S. military did not recognize Ellington as a POW for seven decades because Switzerland, the country who imprisoned him for 75 days, was not an enemy combatant.
While the country was neutral during the war, a commandant where Ellington was imprisoned at was considered a Nazi sympathizer and later convicted of war crimes.

WSU program offers free
stormwater workshop
Washington State University's Shore Stewards program will offer a free workshop at 9 a.m., Saturday, November 18 at the Blaine Harbor Building on Marine Drive in Blaine.
Program manager Cheryl Lovato Niles said the free program is designed to show individuals how to protect their property from erosion in a way that also protects the marine environment.
"Many people will put in a hard bulkhead, which will often lead to erosion (of beach habitat) because it will reflect all the wave's energy back onto the beach," she said. "And that's where surf smelt and sand lance will lay their eggs. Obviously, people want to protect their property but there are ways they can do that, which will protect the crabs and fish and all the other organisms."
The workshop will include presentations from Jim Johannessen of Coastal Geological Services, Mark Buerher of 20/20 Engineering, and Jim Brennan of the University of Washington.
Presenters will speak about the geology of beaches and bluffs, landslides, erosion, marine ecology, storm water drainage, infiltration techniques including rain gardens, and how to stabilize slopes to help sustain local fish and wildlife.
Registration required. For more information, call 676-6736 or email Cheryl Lovato Niles, WSU Extension Shore Stewards program manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nothing but Jets
New York Jets news, commentary and insider info from beat writer Kimberley A. Martin.

Marty Mornhinweg hopes for quick QB decision
Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg reiterated today on a conference call with season ticket holders that there will be a "bona fide quarterback competition, period." He just hopes it doesn't last very long.
"I'm hoping someone will rise to the top quicker rather than later," Mornhinweg said.
The veteran play-caller, in his first season with the Jets, said he will distribute reps based on past performance – and not just from previous years.
"I spent quite a little bit of time figuring out the exact reps and that will be dictated on how well they've done in the prior practice or practices as well," he said. Earlier in the call, Mornhinweg said "reps will be distributed regarding how they played in recent past history and typically, there will be a player at every position when there's competition that will rise above and beyond the other players. Hopefully that's quick."
Mornhinweg wouldn't offer a specific timetable on when he'd make his decision, however.
Mark Sanchez is the incumbent starter, but the Jets have four other quarterbacks competing for the No. 1 job: second-round draft pick Geno Smith, recently signed veteran David Garrard, third-year quarterback Greg McElroy, and free agent Matt Simms.
When a season ticket holder asked specifically about Sanchez, Mornhinweg said the quarterback needs to address the turnover issue; Sanchez has committed a combined 52 turnovers the previous two seasons, the most in the NFL over that period.
"We do have to get the ball security issue corrected," Mornhinweg said. But the coach absolved Sanchez of some of the blame. "The first thing with Mark is that any quarterback that is playing at a high level, typically he's got good players around him on both sides of the ball, and special teams are important as well."
During Sanchez's first two seasons, the Jets went to the AFC Championship Game both years. Their talent level was much better than it has been the last two seasons, when the Jets finished 8-8 and then 6-10 in 2012.

There is a dramatic paradigm shift occurring in the Animal health care world. This new paradigm, which is called Integrative Medicine, takes a more holistic approach to the treatment of animal disorders than the present traditional medical model which focuses mainly on pharmacological solutions.
The Veterinary Institute of Integrative Medicine was formed s to bring integrative medicine to the forefront of animal healing. It was established by a group of leading veterinary doctors who were concemed that veterinarians and animal owners were not fully aware of the benefits of integrative approaches to healing animals. The mission of the Institute is to create resources to help educate veterinarians and dog, cat & horse owners about holistic veterinary medicine.
Quick Reference to How We
Support You:
The Veterinary Institute has developed this web site so that Veterinarians and animal owners alike will have a comprehensive source of scientific based knowledge from which to draw upon to help our animals live longer; healthier; happier lives. Unfortunately, in the animal health world much of the information and research on integrative medicine you find on the web is of poor quality. Our goal at the Institute is to help more animals heal by providing the most trusted, up to date and easy to understand scientific knowledge available anywhere.
In response to the growing demand by the veterinary
community for information on nutraceuticals and natural
medicine, the veterinarians at The Veterinary Institute
of Integrative Medicine have produced the Veterinarians'
Desk Reference of Integrative Medicines (VDR). The VDR
provides veterinarians with a comprehensive manual
on using animal health products. While animal owners
may refer to the Veterinary Desk Reference we make it available only so that consumers may have more informed interactions with their Veterinarian. We urge consumers to make no medical decisions without a consultation with their veterinarian.
One of the most important ways the Veterinary Institute of Integrative Medicine keeps you current is with our state·of-the·art "KnowIedge Minutes." We make the"Knowledge Minutes" available to select web sites so that they may offer these valuable bytes of information to more people.
When you sign up for the "Knowledge Minute," each month you will receive in your email inbox the most relevant scientific advances in integrative veterinary medi cine. We package these monthly knowledge bytes using print and video, in a manner that allows you to effective· ly assimilate this valuable information as quickly as possible.
To help you get what you want as fast as possible from your "KnowIedge Minute," the Veterinary Institute of Integrative Medicine separates data into two formats.
When you are pressed for time and need knowledge in a fast, concise summary, we provide you with what we call:

Should I follow back everyone who follows me? I can't help but feel that because I don't, people dislike me for it.
It's entirely a matter of preference. Some people claim their dashboard gets screwy after 100 follows, some people just prefer to only have their frequent partners in view, some people can't stand a slow or dead dash. Usually a little asterisk on an info. page expressing which you choose to do defuses most of the social issues.
Anybody else have an opinion on it?

The purpose of this short paper is to draw the attention of key users to a methodological change that will be made to Workforce Jobs (WFJ) estimates by region and industry (section level) on a quarterly basis from March 2012 (the next publication of estimates).
The change in methodology will be backdated and as a result there will be revisions to previously published estimates.
WFJ is a quarterly measure of the number of jobs in the United Kingdom (UK) and is the preferred measure of the change in jobs by industry.
It is a compound source that draws on a range of employer surveys, household surveys and administrative sources.
WFJ is the sum of employee jobs (EJ) measured primarily by employer surveys (predominantly the Short-Term Employment Surveys (STES) and the Quarterly Public Sector Employment Survey (QPSES)), self-employment jobs (SEJ) from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), and government-supported trainees (GST) and Her Majesty's Forces (HMF) from administrative sources.
A variety of outputs by industry, region, gender and full/part-time status are produced for a range of publications and users.
Recent redevelopment
A fundamental redevelopment of WFJ sources, classifications, methods and systems was recently undertaken and is explained clearly in the article 'Revisions to Workforce Jobs' (Barford 2010).
One of the key changes highlighted in this article was the replacement of a matched-pairs estimator with a point-in-time ratio estimator, ONS's standard method.
This change was aimed at removing the bias caused by the matched-pairs method. A matched-pairs method tends to underestimate change over time, as it excludes the births and deaths of businesses in the sample.
In essence, only those businesses sampled in two consecutive periods are used to produce estimates of change.
This bias used to cause large revisions when the STES series were benchmarked retrospectively to Business Register Employment Survey (BRES) estimates.
BRES is an annual survey which selects a larger sample and also uses a point-in-time ratio estimator. The point-in-time estimator includes all sampled businesses in each and every period, which reduces the bias over-time.
The trade-off is an increase in volatility caused by the inclusion of the rotated part of the sample for small and medium sized businesses. Sample rotation spreads the administrative burden; ensuring businesses are selected for a limited number of periods.
Unfortunately, the degree of volatility of regional estimates at an industry level has been greater than anticipated and in general has been met unfavourably by users, particularly those that are interested in regional data.
There are a number of instances, for example, whereby businesses have been rotated in to a region and served to distort the level of jobs for a particular industry, usually for a period of five quarters, which is the length of time that a small or medium sized business remains in the sample.
Notification of change
Based on user feedback and in consultation with key stakeholders ONS have been working hard over the past nine months to make improvements to the method of estimating the number of jobs by region and industry.
These changes will be reflected in the March edition of the Labour Market Statistical Bulletin (reference period 2011 Q4).
Overview of the current methodology and details of the proposed change
Some of the strata that form the 'STES' sample contain very few units compared to the overall population, and hence require very large associated design weights (the ratio of business count from the population and business count from the sample).
A proportion of these units are rotated each quarter. Since there is no regional dimension to the sample design (it is at GB level, which is standard for ONS surveys), the number and type of units being rotated in or out of any 'regional industry' will vary over time.
Thus for any period, one or some of the highly-weighted units may be rotated in or out of a particular regional industry without being balanced by a similar movement in the other direction. This can lead to extreme volatility.
To account for this, estimates are calibrated to known regional employment totals from the sampling frame (the Inter-Departmental Business Register or 'IDBR').
The current methodology uses a two-way calibration with respect to marginal totals of industry section and region; weights are calculated so that in each section and each region, the estimate of total employment is equal to the total register employment.
However, results over the last seven quarters suggest that in some cases this level of calibration is too broad to produce reliable estimates of region by industry section.
Our proposed method for improving this situation involves calibrating or 'controlling' estimates to a more 'targeted' total based on the IDBR.
Weights are now calculated so that in each 'regional section' (the cross classification of region and industry) the estimate of total employment is equal to the total register employment.
As a consequence, new estimates at a region by industry section level should be driven more by differences between returned and registered survey data than the current version and thus less volatile.
This change will be worked back to 2008 Q3, which is consistent with the fundamental redevelopment outlined above.
Sampling errors and CVs
Approximate sampling errors at the regional section level have been produced. The sampling errors are smaller using the proposed method.
Regional estimates below section level
The methodology change also necessitates a change to the production process of regional series by lower level Standard Industrial Classification (it should be noted that the discussed volatility at the level of industry section by region is further exacerbated in lower level industry series on the current basis).
Instead of these estimates being routinely produced by ONS, users will be recommended to take regional estimates from BRES (Business Register & Employment Survey) for these lower level industries, calculate the proportions relative to their industry section and apply these to the improved quarterly Employee Jobs estimate of region by industry section.1
To alleviate concerns regarding the timeliness of BRES and applying a fixed annual ratio to quarterly estimates, it is important to note that the current Workforce Jobs methodology makes heavy use of the IDBR (Inter-Departmental Business Register) to apportion sample returns to local units, which in many cases is less timely than BRES.
As such, the proposed method is not likely to reduce the quality of regional estimates at this lower level of aggregation.
It is important to note that estimates at UK and GB level (at all levels of industry) are not affected.
Future communication
Revised Workforce Jobs estimates will be published on 14 March 2012.
These estimates will take account of benchmarking to the latest estimates produced from the annual Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) as well as the new proposed methodology.
The release of data on 14 March 2012 will be accompanied by a methodological article detailing the changes that have been made to the process of estimation in full.

Burglars smashed the window of a Gold Coast luxury store overnight, making off with designer handbags and accessories worth thousands of dollars.
Police responded to the alarm at the Saint Laurent Paris store at 11 E. Walton St. just before 3 a.m. Friday.
A broken window and missing merchandise are a disturbing sight for Gold Coast residents. This high-end heist was all caught on camera and looked like a professional operation.
The security video taken from inside the store has not been made public. But a source told FOX 32 News it shows someone used a baseball bat to break the window on Rush Street.
The source said the video also shows multiple offenders entered the store, all clad in black, moving quickly across the white marble floors, taking expensive handbags, jewelry and shoes. The source also said a one-of-a-kind bag, valued at $29,000, was also taken.
The video is police evidence now. But a theft like this is something Gold Coast residents say is becoming a common crime in the last year or two.
"It's a sign of the times, here in the Gold Coast," one resident told FOX 32. "They had to put up burglar bars on Barney's."
"To wake up and see this is upsetting," another said. "It's the second time."
"You all have merchandise in the window," said Chris Fichter, owner at The Perfect Setting. "Are you going to look at changing your procedures? You know, we constantly look at that but I think with the kind of store we are we're not a grab and go. It's hard to run down the street with a Simon Pearce vase."
Jennifer Harris is the store manager at Luxaby Baby & Child, which is around the corner from YSL.
"It's very unsettling and it makes you hope that other stores a security are definitely going to step up, step up their game and it makes us as merchants think about what are some ways and things that we need to be doing," Harris said of the robbery. "We'reprivately owned so for us it would be awful because anything that we lostthat's our cost."
The front of the store – where the glass shattered - was boared up by Friday afternoon and police cruisers were on patrol.
The staff at the store declined to comment. No one is in custody as Area Central detectives investigate.

In the past few years, Kia 's success on the market has increased significantly with models like the SOUL and the Forte becoming leaders in their segment. Taking this under consideration, it's no wonder that the Korean manufacturer is expanding their market - which as of now consists of coupes, sedans, crossovers, and SUVs - to include a small roadster. The Kia Roadster - name unknown - will set out to compete against one of the only lower end roadsters on the market: the Mazda MX-5 .
The new Kia Roadster will weigh no more than 2200 lbs and will come with a rear wheel drive system. Engine specifications are not exact, but we should be getting about 200 HP out of a turbo petrol engine. About a year after the Kia debuts, we should also be seeing a Hyundai version of the same vehicle. Think along the lines of the relationship between the Toyota FT-86 and Scion FR-S .
The path has been set, but don't expect this sporty model to show up anytime before 2013; building a model that will be "fun, dynamic and addressed to young buyers" will surely take some time.
Hit the jump to read more about the future Kia Roadster.
Exterior and Interior
The future Kia Roadster's design language will follow the same trend started a while ago by models like the Forte and the Optima . It will only be available with a soft top and, according to previous rumors, may be inspired by the old KCV III concept - a theory we highly doubt considering the KCV III is outdated.
Under the hood of Kia's future roadster, we will most likely find a new turbo petrol engine mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission. However, with the recent trends, we may also see a double-clutch gearbox as a viable and free option. This setup will will deliver about 200 HP.
2003 Kia KCV-III Concept
The new Kia Roadster is expected to be revealed at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show with sales to begin in early 2014. Prices will be in the $30K area.
Kia has already made it clear that this model will target the Mazda MX-5 , but models like the future Volkswagen BlueSport will also fit its target area.
Mazda may be getting ready for the action as the company is already working on their next generation MX-5. The company plans to drop about 720 pounds from the 2,480-pound curb weight of today's Miata and then add a newly developed four-cylinder engine with up to 160 HP under the hood.
The production version of the Volkswagen Bluesport is expected to be revealed in the next two years. It will feature a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine with an output of about 170 HP.
