Once a small, virtually one man operation on the corner of 32nd and Asbury Avenue in the late 1940s, Leon has expanded his business to include four satellite offices as well as growing and remodeling the main office numerous times over the years. Instinctively responding to the requirements of his business and meeting the needs of his clients, Leon has had the foresight to acquire adjacent properties and is the only Real Estate office in Ocean City and possibly in Cape May County to provide sufficient off street parking on the extremely busy summer weekends. The orange and white logo on the Berger signs is well known and is synonymous with and recognized throughout southern New Jersey as a symbol of real estate excellence.
Beginning with a modest staff Berger Realty now employs 20 support personnel as well as 125 full time realtors. Included are a staff attorney and General Manager, an in-house photographer, sales and rental managers and a business manager that has been with Berger Real Estate since 1971. Its a tribute to the loyalty Leon enjoys that many of his associates have been with him continually for over 35 years. Leon perceived that in order to better serve the enormous and growing demand for summer rentals that there was a need to specialize in that area, so he created the Berger Real Estate Rental Department. These were agents who would specialize in the requirements of the summer vacation consumer. The concept has been so successful that Berger, as an agency does more than twice the amount of rentals as the next two Ocean City agencies combined.
The premise of Bergers approach to realtor success is instruction and professionalism and toward that end there is a theme of continuing education in our state of the art multimedia room. New classes are conducted in all phases of real estate sales, rentals, financing, state, federal and local law, tax free exchanges, insurance and closing transactions, environmental, wetland and tidal flow edicts and obtaining and utilizeing the newest technology. And speaking of technology, Berger Real Estate has been at the forefront of new and cutting edge equipment for years. It ranges from wireless broadband to high speed scanners and information software. Our entire office group shares a network that allows for instant updating of data and information. Berger has been considered by our peers as a technology leader in the real estate industry and our extremely well received and easy to surf web site, www.bergerrealty.com, receives more hits and generates more leads than any other site in Ocean City.
Meetings are held every Friday morning where our agents assemble to share information and hear from guest speakers about various perspectives of the real estate community. New listings are discussed and the unparalleled pool of collective real estate knowledge becomes another resource and a definite benefit to our clients. Berger Real Estate remains a valued member of the community through its inclusion of public sponsorship programs and the providing of scholarships and awards to deserving students each year. With a local owner who calls Ocean City home, having a strong bond, love for and interest in the community isnt something to be taken lightly. Berger Real Estate considers it more than a task and contributes daily in continuing to help maintain Ocean City as Americas Favorite Family Resort.

Bringing History to Life at the USS Constitution Museum in Boston
In the age of high-tech gadgetry, the USS Constitution Museum in Boston is engaging families in the lives of the crew members on the two-century-old ship and their nineteenth-century voyages.
The museum is opening a new exhibit this summer called "All Hands on Deck: A Sailor's Life in 1812." It is the result of more than three years of studying what intrigued family groups about the ship and its history and just as important, what aspects they found less than intriguing.
The museum combined a 2004 Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant with private donations to take a close-up look at families visiting the museum and how they engage in learning about life on "Old Ironsides."
A 2007 study by Reach Advisors, a strategy and audience research firm, showed that of 5,500 families of young children that had visited museums, only 23 percent chose to visit history museums. Visiting a history museum was often viewed as boring, perhaps too much like another day in a classroom. But Burt Logan, president of the USS Constitution Museum, and Anne Grimes Rand, the museum's executive vice president and the project director for the extensive revamping of exhibits, said they viewed that as a challenge and opportunity.
With innovative thinking, they hoped to attract families with grade-school-age children who were just beginning to learn about the American past. They wanted to create exhibits that engaged visitors to think about the past rather than merely reading placards reciting facts about it.
The idea was to create a museum where the hands-on exhibits were so compelling that visitors, with a little prompting from signs and instructions, could proceed without a staff member telling them what to do next. This strategy also reduced the need to staff the museum during the primary spring-to-fall tourist season—63 hours a week, Rand said.
"That's a lot of hours to staff," said Rand. "We were thinking a lot of museums don't have that staff either." Logan said, "We wanted [families] to be drawn into an unfacilitated gallery."
Now the USS Constitution Museum has placed its findings and suggestions from its three-year transformation on a Web site (http://familylearningforum.org), an online resource of 100 successful family programs as well as transcripts, videos, podcasts of the workshops, and links to supporting resources. The online tutorial is particularly aimed at history museums trying to attract youths accustomed to the immediacy of the Internet and the high-tech graphics of computer games.
Executives at the USS Constitution Museum said that history museums searching for family visitors ought to be asking themselves such questions as "How family friendly is your facility?" "Are there effective elements for family interaction?" and "What types of events do you offer for families?"
A Challenge Met
At the USS Constitution Museum, the result of this introspection was a prototype exhibit called "A Sailor's Life for Me?" It sought to capture the rigors of sea life in the early 1800s in a way that led parents and their children to talk and think about the era as they walked through the museum.
The first stop on becoming a sailor in 1812 was a "house of rendezvous," a tavern-like place where naval officers asked potential recruits about their lives, health, and physical well-being.
"Do you have all your teeth?" was one of the questions a Constitution recruiter might ask potential shipmates. "Do have all your fingers? We certainly don't want someone with scurvy on the ship."
What Appeals to Visitors?
In the summers of 2005 to 2007, museum executives watched how visitors reacted to such questions and tweaked the exhibit as they learned what fascinated museum-goers and what left them puzzled or just plain uninterested. The museum interviewed 2,500 families about their visits.
The museum found that visitors took only seven minutes to walk through a traditional recitation of history exhibits on the museum's first floor, but stayed 22 minutes on the second floor once the sailors' exhibit opened. "There were more conversations, more dialogue, and more exchanges. The contrast is very striking," Logan said.
One other thing the free museum noticed: Its voluntary donations doubled after the new exhibit opened, from $74,328 in 2005 to $151,665 in 2007.
Scott Simpson, a Boston marketing executive, was impressed after visiting the ship and museum last Thanksgiving weekend with seven children aged 3 to 14—along with his brother-in-law and father-in-law.
"The interactivity of it was outstanding," he said. "The museum does a great job of bringing the ship to life. You can sand some decking to feel what it was like to be on that ship, climb some ropes to see what it was like to be on the rigging, or lie on the bunks. It's meant to engage, whether you are a three-year-old or an adult. It was not just an exhibit you look at."
After visiting the museum, one middle-school student left a note saying, "I paid attention here, but not in school."
Comments like those are music to the ears of museum managers, who spent three years earning them.
Fine-Tuning the Exhibit
During the first version of the recruiting scenario, the museum soon realized that visitors wanted to play specific roles, either as the "recruiter" or the would-be "sailor." So visitors now sit on opposite sides of a table with flipbooks of related pictures and questions for the recruiter to ask the recruit. Rand said some visitors said, "Let us keep score" about how they were doing as potential sailors on board USS Constitution, so the museum laid out paper score sheets for anyone who wanted them. Logan said the museum had visitors score the exhibits as well on a movie-like rating system of one to five stars. "We wanted to get everything up to four or five stars," he added.
In the end, not all parts of the exhibit made the cut. For instance, the museum ditched a segment in which visitors selected what they wanted to put into their sea bag of personal belongings. "This one just fell flat," Rand said. "It was just not compelling enough, no matter what we tried."
But that was not true of most parts of the exhibit. Museum officials found that questions comparing sailors' lives with modern sensibilities worked best to engage young and old alike. One such question asks visitors, "How would you like to start your day with a cold saltwater scrub instead of a hot shower?"
The museum is now readying "All Hands on Deck" for a June opening. The duct tape and cardboard exhibits of the prototype are being replaced with exhibits that Logan said are meant to "stand up to the rigors of 300,000 to 400,000 visitors a year for 15 or 20 years."
The museum is also sharing lessons learned from the NLG-supported project. In 2008, IMLS awarded the museum a 21st Century Museum Professionals grant so the museum could share its theories, techniques, resources, and best practices with museum professionals through workshops and expansion of the familylearningforum.org Web site.

Name: Ian Stewart
Position: Third Base (probably)
Batting Order Position: I'd put him no higher than 7th, but we'll see.
Bats/Throws: Left/Right
Opening Day Age: 27 (It will be his birthday!)
Uniform Number: His most recent 9 is currently taken by Blake DeWitt and his original 24 is Marlon Byrd. I'm thinking he'll be picking a new number.
Is Ian Stewart on Twitter?: Yes he is. Probably. It isn't a Twitter-verified account, but it looks pretty legit. Go ahead and give him a follow at @IAN_STEWART_9.
Is his wife on Twitter?: It doesn't appear so. Kim DeJesus is alone in fending off the creepers at this point.
Did he marry the daughter of his minor league coach?: Yes he did. When he was playing in Asheville, North Carolina he asked permission of his manager, Joe Mikulik, to take his daughter out for ice cream. They are now married with a daughter. Sorry, girls.
Is that the cutest thing you've ever heard? I think it just might be.
Baseball-Reference.com's Most Similar Batter: Bill Sudakis
Baseball-Reference.com's Most Similar Batter We Give a Damn About: Casey McGehee
Why we might like him:
- He's been a useful hitter in the past, batting .246/.334/.454/.788 from 2008 to 2010.
- He has more power than Blake DeWitt and the now-departed D.J. Lemahieu
- According to Wikipedia, he is a very generous autograph giver
Why we might hate him:
- Tyler Colvin had a following that thought he was good, so he'll have unreasonable expectations foisted on him from the start
- He was awful last year. He was worth -1.2 WAR, which is Aaron Miles-esque.
- He's another guy who'll never have a good batting average so people will undoubtedly focus on that.
If you rearrange the letters in his name you get: "TAINT WARES"
What Cubs Blogosphere Thinks of Him:
What I question is whether Stewart should be handed the Cubs' starting third base job in 2012, to the exclusion of other possible candidates. Based on what the Cubs gave up to get him, it seems like he will. He's coming off a lost year in 2011 and a wrist injury, and many scouts – Kevin Goldstein, among them – simply don't believe he's a big league regular. And, he's scheduled to make some $2.5 million in 2012 (with two more arbitration years thereafter). He was at risk for being non-tendered on Monday, but apparently the Cubs felt they couldn't risk another team swooping in and taking him.Another allure? I get to say "Nobody F's with the DeJesus" over and over again this year. I can't wait until the first Enhanced Box Score where DeJesus has a good game… On the balance, it's a solid move. Not earth-moving, but a good first step. I suspect it's but one piece of a large, very exciting puzzle.
- The Cub Reporter (comment by crunch)
do any ian stewart fans have anything to say about the guy that doesn't involve a number? …especially since the AAA ones seem to be the only useful ones unless you want to project power and ignore what showed up last year. what is so nice about his plate approach? the only good thing about this deal is it costs next to nothing both in what was given up and what's being paid…it also leaves dewitt/baker as the main 3rd base backup. well, it's good he can actually field 3rd…that's a good start over a guy like c.mcgehehehehe at least. i know the guy's minor league numbers looks like a bunch of shiny dimes or some crap, but what about that guy swinging a bat looks like upside to anyone?
Stewart is a good glove third baseman who has had trouble making enough contract. He's more of a Theo Epstein player as he strikes out and walks a ton. He hasn't been helped much by Coors Field throughout his career.

Sub-Saharan Africans migrate to North Africa, Europe, North America, and beyond. The research offered here focuses generally on two aspects of sub-Saharan migration: the outcomes for these migrants and their children once they have settled in their countries of destination, the United States among them, and the roles that diasporas and development policies can play in the economic improvement of these African nations.
Migration has begun to follow the flow of capital after years of Chinese investment in major infrastructure projects in Zambia. This feature article, based on original research including the coding of 25,000 Zambian entry permits, examines the emerging migration pattern from China to Zambia, as Chinese migration to the country has increased 60 percent since 2009.

"Great beer mug!"

Comments: Ordered this for my fiancee's dad, first saw it on ebay but didn't want to order a personalized gift through a third party. So, I came here and ordered it crossing my fingers... It arrived on time and the monogram is excellent quality (not cheaply stenciled on like on some other sites). Very pleased overall.

Comments: My father owns a few personalized items. However, he has never owned a monogrammed beer mug. I ordered one for him with his initials engraved. The product looks great, not cheap at all. The engraving looks amazing. I can't wait to give this to my dad, I know he will love this !

Sugar Hill Records is excited to announce the July 12th release of Little Bird from one of Australia's most accomplished singer-songwriters, Kasey Chambers. The 14 song collection – her first solo project in four years - is the result of an outpouring of new material from Kasey written within a hectic two week period in February of 2010, and Chambers is confident in calling Little Bird the best recording of her career.
Recorded a month later in brother Nash's Foggy Mountain Studio Little Bird features an all-star band that Kasey dubs The Millionaires; John Watson on drums, Jeff McCormack on bass, Shane Nicholson, Jim Mogine (Midnight Oil) and Kasey's dad Bill Chambers playing all manner of guitars and stringed instruments. Guest vocalists Missy Higgins, Camille Te Nahu, Patty Griffin and more accompany Kasey on various tracks.
"These guys are some of my favorite musicians and singers, including the backbone of my touring band, so there is a familiarity and intuitive understanding of where this music should go," says Kasey. Nothing in the recording process sounds forced or labored; every track sounds fresh, positive, exciting. "When the songs are that fresh, there's something magical about taking them into the studio and bringing them to life, right then and there."
The new album, which is already certified Gold in Australia, represents a diverse spread of musical styles from Kasey's glittering career, which has reaped multiple ARIA and APRA awards, Number One hits and multi-platinum sales in Australia and around the world.

- Online survey – Following a visit to the legal office, clients are encouraged to provide feedback concerning the professionalism and helpfulness of our legal professionals.
Many clients have visited a legal office to obtain a will or other legal documents and realize after arriving that they need to gather more information or documents from home.
Sometimes clients realize they need to speak with their spouse about an issue.
Completing an online worksheet will help minimize the need for multiple visits. By filling out an online worksheet, clients will be able to consider critical issues before visiting the legal office.

CarrieHairDark BrownColor Treated HairWorks WellI've been using this dye in conjunction with Punky Color for about 4 years now and I've had nothing but great success. This bleach comes with gloves,brush and what I think is a head-cap type thing for use while the bleach is doing its thing. It's easy to mix, and since it comes with everything you need to apply it's super easy to do that too. As to its effectiveness, what can I say, it's bleach. It bleaches hair. When I was bleaching blue out of my hair it didn't quite get it all out, but that could have been my fault. It still gets the job done, in my opinion. I haven't had a bad experience with it, and I would recommend it to anyone. Especially if you're like me and you don't just have gloves and brushes laying around all the time. Not to mention the reasonable price, amiright?3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Brandie P.SCHairDark BrownNormal HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairBest Beach Kit Ever!I just got this bleach for my hair in aug. and decided to wait til sept. I couldn't put it on by myself, so I ask my bff to do it. When she started putting the bleach in my hair for like a second. It turned it white so fast. This is the perfect solution if you want to bleach your hair fast. And my hair is dark brown and on the directions it was goin to take 45 mins to 60 mins., but it bleached my whole hair within 30 to 35 mins. I was so happy and excited at the same time. I love this product and will keep using it again and again. Thanks to folica for sell in product and a very very good price and for Jerome Russell for making the product.

Winter weather
Two mild winters in a row were not in the cards.
Iowa's winter seemed mild through middle February, but March was the coldest since 1975 and snowiest since 1998, according to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship weather report for March. Only northwest Iowa had below normal snow fall amounts.
Statewide, Iowa received an average of 31.3 inches of snow from Dec. 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, an increase from 17.4 inches for the previous winter.
What does that mean for Iowa's pheasants?
In years following similar amounts, there was little improvement in pheasant numbers. The next critical time period is spring nesting season.
If April and May are above normal for temperature and normal to below normal for rainfall, pheasant counts may increase. If temperatures are below normal and rainfall is above normal, pheasant counts are likely to decrease.
While this is a statewide perspective based on weather and population change, the northwest region with below normal snowfall is an area where increases could be expected with a good spring.
Ospreys return
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will place 10, 42-day-old ospreys at Mud Lake, in Dubuque County, and Swan Lake, in Carroll County. The young ospreys are developed enough to tear apart their favorite food, fish, by themselves, and will be attaining flight status about 53 days of age.
"Where the birds learn to fly and fish on their own becomes their 'home' where survivors return to nest at four or five years of age," said Pat Schlarbaum, wildlife technician at the Boone Research Station.

I was going to buy a new memory card for my Canon 500D and I was wondering if SanDisk Extreme III SDHC Card 8GB which has a write speed of 30MB/s would be a good buy. How can I find out if my camera supports 8GB cards and can make use of 30MB/s speed? The price difference is not really that much.

The Canon 500D takes SDHC cards up to 32gb. Any Class 6 or above will make sure that there is never a slow down from the cameras buffer filling up, and the 30MB/s card you mention is a Class 10 card so plenty fast. I just bought two of those myself to replace my 16gb PNY as I get a bit of slow down shooting raw occasionally

Education Savings Bond Program
Information about bonds and why they are so helpful.
You may be able to cash in qualified U.S. savings bonds without having to include in your income some or all of the interest earned on the bonds if you use it to pay for qualified higher education expenses for yourself, your spouse or a dependent for whom you claim an exemption on your return.
Income Limits
Your modified adjusted gross income must be less than $91,00 ($143,950 if filing a joint return).
Qualified U.S. Savings Bond
A qualified U.S. savings bond is a series EE bond issued after January 1, 1990 or a series I bond.
You must have paid qualified higher education expenses for yourself, your spouse or a dependent for whom you claim an exemption on your return. Your filing status cannot be married filing separate return. The bond must be issued either in your name (as the sole owner) or in the name of both you and your spouse (as co-owners). The owner must be at least 24 years old before the bond's issue date. The issue date is printed directly on the front of the savings bond.
Qualified Expenses
Qualified higher education expenses include tuition and fees required to enroll at or attend an eligible educational institution, contributions to a qualified state tuition program and contributions to a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) you pay for either yourself, your spouse, or a dependent for whom you claim an exemption. Qualified expenses do not include expenses for room and board or for courses involving sports, games or hobbies that are not part of a degree program. Generally, you must reduce the qualified expenses by the amount of any tax-free educational assistance you received as well as any expenses used in figuring the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning Tax Credits and tax-free withdrawals from a Coverdell ESA.
Eligible Educational Institutions
Eligible educational institutions are any college, university, vocational school or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in student aid programs administered by the United States Department of Education.
Tax Form
To calculate the exclusion of interest from savings bonds, see Internal Revenue Service Form 8815.

Comments On Mar 23, 2009:I bought this a while ago and have used it several times in cold and warm weather. Works fine as long as I wasn't getting to hot in the cold weather. Found that I didn't have any issues as long as I pulled my goggles off when stopping for a few minutes. Otherwise they would fog right up. Once I started moving again, they would clear right up.

Recipe by Fight the Fat Foodie
"Curry and apple chutney combine to make wonderful flavors."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups
uncooked basmati rice
3 cups
4 cups
cauliflower florets
4 (4 ounce)
pork chops, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons
curry powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon
olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons
curry powder
2 teaspoons
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
apple chutney
green onions, chopped, divided
I thought I would post an idea for people who are like me, AKA trying to watch Calories and big lovers of Curry. (LOVE IT) If you put the cauliflower in a food processor and chopped it up to about rice size, then microwave it covered for about a minute 30, it is a great Basmati rice substitute! It cuts the calories in half! But only nuke the Cauliflower in the portions you need it. That way if you have leftovers you just put the raw cauliflower in a dish with the curry over it and it will cook when you heat it all up together. Hope this helps someone! And thanks for the recipe! :)
Sorry, did not care for this dish. The pork chops, sauce and rice were ok, but the cauliflower ruined it for my family. I expected the dish to have more kick. Maybe use hot chutney.
25 Ratings
I like that this recipe is in very separate steps. I just did the part with the pork chops and curry sauce. I made my own apple chutney instead of using store bought. I thought the curry sauce was a great and easy way to make curry. You do have to add you own spice if you want it spicy at all. I added a bit of red pepper to my chutney when I made it, and that did it. My kids and husband loved it, and that's always a hard test to pass!
I love this site - some people say that if we make changes we shouldn't review the recipe. I don't agree. I saw this recipe and it sounded good but when I read the reviews I saw that others wanted more of a kick to it. I like SPICEY Indian food so instead of buying Apple chutney I bought something called Pineapple Pepper chutney. WOW - this was a great dish and the next time I will double the sauce because right now I would just love to eat the rice and sauce. The caulifower was geat too. Thanks submitter.
I love how easy this is to make.
Excellent job Fight the Fat Foodie! I made this recipe as written and it was great. Loved it. I made my own apple chutney from a recipe on another site. I used a hot curry powder. Lots of flavor from the spice so I didn't miss the fat. Thank you for posting.
Cooked this tonight for my family. They are not used to curry dishes. They loved this! I doubled the sauce ingredients but otherwise stayed true to the orignial recipe. Oh also used mango chutney instead of apple since I could not find any. Delish!
I made this for dinner last night. I don't have a steamer, so I just boiled the cauliflower. My grocery store doesn't have apple chutney, so, like another reviewer, I used mango chutney instead. I used red curry powder instead of regular curry powder, which helped with the spicyness.

Kosher Soups
|Beet Soup
Adapted from New Kosher Cuisine by Helen Nash
"With their magnificent color, delicious flavor, and vitamin richness, beets are one of my favorite vegetables. In the summer I serve this soup at room temperature; in the winter I like it hot."
1 1/4 pounds beets, plus 1 small beet for garnish
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion, garlic, and apple and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the beets and broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and cook, covered, for about 30 minutes, until the beets are tender. Cool a little.
To serve, garnish with the grated beet.
Yield: 6 servings
I always wear thin plastic gloves when I work with beets, as this avoids staining my fingers with beet juice, which can be hard to remove.

We are testing 5 different types of salt (table salt, kosher salt, sea salt, Epsom salts, and rock salt) and their effect on the speed of melting ice blocks (against a control, of course). We are trying to figure out: (1) if it makes a difference whether we measure the runoff water in volume in a measuring cup or by mass on a balance or scale; and (2) if we need to set up the bowls to allow for real-time runoff of the melted ice/water in order to measure and compare the true melting effects of the different types of ice, or if it will be sufficient to pour off the runoff at designated intervals (I believe that if the ice sits in water too long, a lot of the salt could potentially dissolve into the water instead of continuing to work its melting magic on the ice blocks).
Thoughts, oh science experts?

With a 15' gun lead, I'd also suspect some occasional feeding issues from the wire drive used on the MM 211 .
If you're set on a longer gun lead, a 12' lead would probably be the wiser route to take.

2013 Calendar of Horrors: We Preview the Fright Flicks Coming Out This Year
For me, 2012 was a pretty lackluster year as far as the blood n' guts were concerned. We were presented with several decent trailers that on the surface might've been potentially good, scary horror movies, but what happened was we ended up with movies like Cabin in the Woods and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter; which in my opinion, both fell short in the scares department.
That being said

Police in St. Mary's investigating a man's theft complaint from a sex-for-money encounter at his home took the case a step further last week, court papers state, as they put a detective in a motel room and eventually charged a woman with attempted robbery.
Marisa Lee Horton, 19, of California was released on $10,000 bond last Thursday after her arrest on the attempted robbery charge, plus the illegal possession of oxycodone and a prostitution offense.
A day earlier, the detective with the Maryland State Police sent Horton a text message from the motel, court papers state, and she arrived there that afternoon.
Horton asked for $70 in exchange for sex, and the detective put $100 in her purse before he went into the bathroom, according to the charging papers stating he came back into the room moments later and arrested the teenager.
"The defendant advised her intention was not to have sexual [relations], but to rob the detective of his money and personal belongings," Trooper Dustin Brill wrote in a statement of probable cause. "She advised while the detective was in the bathroom, she rummaged through his bags and the drawers at the motel for items to steal. The defendant admitted she had committed the same crime three or four times over the past several months."
Horton said Tuesday that she will contest the charges in court.
"I'm going to plead not guilty," she said during a brief telephone interview. "It wasn't really like they said. It was entrapment."
Last week's police sting operation, at the motel not identified in court papers, followed an incident last month at a residence, where charging papers allege that Horton arrived after getting a call from Carlos Alberto Reyes, asked him for money in exchange for sex acts and attempted to take a laptop computer while he was in a bathroom.
Reyes got the computer back before Horton fled, court papers state, but he later discovered that his wallet was gone.
Horton has been charged through a summons with a theft offense and property destruction after police investigated that incident.

House on the Hill: Global Perspectives
Feb. 17, 2014
When Alec Golini was a hungry 7-year-old, he'd track his mother down, just like many of us did, and request a snack. She'd open a pantry loaded with goodies or a fridge stocked with food and hand her son something to eat.
A recent trip to Peru through his Lafayette class, Peru's Indigenous Population, opened his eyes to the way so many other people in foreign countries live. During his stay from Jan. 5-23, Golini spent five days working at a homeless shelter for boys where he witnessed them often getting just one meal a day that consisted of corn or bananas. He'd watch as they'd climb out of a bed that another boy had urinated in the night before. And he knew that days went by before they got to change into clean clothes.
Golini and teammate Ryan Dodds have and will continue to do everything they can for underprivileged kids, and they'll apply much of what they learned in their respective trips abroad to the local non-profit organization that Golini started about 18 months ago: Athletes C.A.R.E (Creating Abundant Relief Efforts). Golini was recently honored as a semi-finalist for the Coach Wooden Citizenship Cup for his work with Athletes C.A.R.E.
"Just to hang out and play with the kids, that was something that was so valuable," Golini said. "I don't need to have a grade or numbers on a paper to show for it. I don't need to have everyone know about it unless they want to. But I can talk about it because it was life changing."
Dodds and Golini visited destinations and experienced things they never thought possible. Golini hiked up Machu Picchu and called it "A once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Neanderthals, humans and interbreeding: old bones, new evidence
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
Hominin Evolutionary Patterns in the Early to Middle Pliocene: How Many Forms Are There?
These finds open up a new horizon of research into the earliest hominins and how they lived. They also provide us with even more clues in our ongoing search for the last common ancestor.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.

From the Archives: Miracles and Science, Part 5
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
The Recipe For Creationism
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Ch. 11-12: Wrapping Up
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.

The Christian Reformed Church votes to support scholarship on human origins
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (20 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.

INTERVIEW: Paul Kephart of Rana Creek
As far as green roof designers go, you can't get much more committed or accomplished than the team at Rana Creek. While their name often gets partially eclipsed by the names of their starchitect collaborators, such as William McDonough and Renzo Piano, it's Rana Creek's genius that yields such massive marvels as the rooftops of the Gap corporate headquarters and the California Academy of Sciences.
I discovered Rana Creek at CA Boom, the West Coast annual design show. Across a huge exhibition floor, I was drawn to Rana Creek's living wall display, which they'd custom designed for the occasion as an example of a climate-appropriate botanical rain catchment system. Of course, the technical functions of the wall weren't the main attractor; rather, it was the incredible artistry of the sculptural bent metal, through which succulents were penetrating by what seems like the sheer force of a plant's irrepressible will to thrive.
It's a metaphor for the whole organism that is Rana Creek Habitat Restoration and Living Architecture, a California-based firm with a committment to sustainable innovation matched by a tremendously impressive project portfolio. When I met the two team representatives, Freya Bardell and Brent Bucknum, both were adamant that I speak with with their Exective Director, Paul Kephart, who they made to sound like an ecological prophet with a vision for the future that must be heard.
As it turns out, their zeal was not unfounded. A few weeks later, I had a chance to interview Paul, and gain a broader understanding of the mission and philosophy underlying Rana Creek's tenacious green pursuits. Beginning as a painter on the Big Sur coast with a passion for natural habitats, Paul is now a leading restoration ecologist and resource planner. It was a delight to have a conversation with such a deeply knowledgeable, wholeheartedly committed, and genuinely optimistic innovator.
The interview to follow us the first part of two – you can check out our second interview here.
Sarah: So tell me how you've seen the interest level in green roofs evolve since you began.
Paul: Well, there is a great interest today, that's for sure! When I first started, there was less. A lot of these great ideas started with some art and science integration, and all of the tenets and houses that support psychological and natural processes. When I did the project with Bill McDonough at the Gap [Headquarters in San Bruno, California], it was a little far out – a green roof in a Mediterranean climate. But now things are happening, and I think people are beginning to understand what is sustainable and what isn't. People are beginning to recognize the importance of sustainable design and planning and construction. And they are starting to see the economic benefits, as well. I am pretty encouraged. Having spent 20 years doing this and now seeing it as both "main street" and "mainstream" is really a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

[…] Last week we published the first half of an interview with Paul Kephart of Rana Creek Habitat Restoration and Living Architecture. Paul has brought his ecological brilliance to the design tables of some of the world's leading architects. But it's not just the celeb-scale projects that excite him. In fact, Paul's enthusiasm is clearest when he speaks of Rana Creek's public projects, and of introducing principles of sustainability into urban communities where nature is scarce. […]

What is troubling is the lack of attention to material. While he talks about going beyond adornment, the building itself is not fundamentally different from those without green roofs; it is still built of steel and concrete and roofed with rubber. Further, the geoweb that can be seen in the installation photos it designed to last 100 years and possibly much longer. What happened to the concept of design for deconstruction? What happens when the building is demolished in 50 years and the soil is filled with petroleum textiles? Sure, green roofs are a great idea, but don't stop there; the whole building needs to be energy conscious and RECYCLABLE.
July 20, 2006 at 3:20 am
I like what you had to say about the "closed-loop" grey water systems; now all we need is to be designing closed-loop energy systems for buildings, where the energy needs of a structure, or group of structures are met through the incorporation of renewable power units and energy efficient design. Decentralized power. Probably not a new concept, but is it going to be done during the upcoming redevelopment of California?

SMS-enabling your applications
WEBTEXT™ provides a business messaging platform enabling developers and integrators to SMS (and voice)-enable their existing legacy, or new build, applications. This document provides a short description and break-down on the various means at your disposal for getting your application to send and receive messages. For more detailed information, and to discuss your specific set up, please contact us.
In legacy environments, or on systems with limited networking capabilities, SMTP is perhaps the quickest way to SMS-enable applications. Any application capable of sending email should quite readily be in a position to take advantage of SMS. Outbound messages can be sent as email to <number>@webtext.com. Provided relevant security requirements are met, an email sent in this manner will be converted to SMS and delivered to the <number> specified. Account-level settings can be used to control such things as whether or not the subject line is parsed or ignored, and what the maximum length of the payload can be on such a message. Filters can also be applied server-side to remove lengthy disclaimers or email footers that should not be processed.
Account level features can also be accessed via the SMTP channel. It is possible, for example, to address a single outbound email to a group alias rather than a single cellphone/mobile number. This alias refers to a contact group preloaded on the WEBTEXT platform by the developer/customer.
Delivery Receipts (DLRs) can be sent back to the sending application, also via SMTP. Some form of handling function would be required on the application-side to parse these receipts.
Replies to text messages sent via SMTP can also be routed back to the originating email address, or to another specified email address, for processing.
A variant on the basic SMTP-based service, this channel is used by applications that require the ability to poll for, and retrieve, inbound messages at intervals. An example of an application using this mechanism is Avaya's Aura Contact Center (R6.2+). Outbound messages are sent via SMTP (authenticated). Inbound messages are placed in a POP3 mail box for retrieval by the application.
The method most commonly used by developers to SMS-enable their new and existing applications is via the HTTP protocol. A REST-based web service allows access to many of the WEBTEXT platform functions, where a standard HTTP GET or PUT request can be used to transmit one or many text (or voice) messages.
Outbound messages are sent by calling a specific URI, containing parameters relating to the message. The response to this call is a 3-digit return code, indicating whether or not a message has been accepted for delivery. Issues such as malformed destination numbers, missing parameters and authentication errors will result in a message being rejected. Once accepted, the message is processed and sent immediately or (in the case of a deferred delivery request) at a later specified time.
DLRs (receipts) are provided indicating successful or failed delivery of the message. These are generated, in most cases, by the handset, which acknowledges receipt of the message from its local network. This acknowledgement is than passed back through the network as a delivery receipt. Within the WEBTEXT API call which was used to send the message, the application can provide a URI to which the receipt should be sent. This URI can contain custom parameters to allow the application marry incoming receipts with the relevant out bound message.
All outbound messages and receipt status can also be accessed via the WEBTEXT outbox, either through the WEBTEXT website, or programmatically through an enhanced HTTP API call.
Inbound messages/replies can be routed in accordance with a per-account setting, to a specific URL on the client's server, to an email address, to a cell phone number, to an XMPP address or simply to the WEBTEXT inbox, for later retrieval by the client/application.
The Short Message Peer to Peer (SMPP) protocol is an open industry standard messaging protocol, and is one of only a few 'standard' methods for the transmission and receipt of SMS text messages. An IP-based protocol, it is generally used for high volume applications, where low overhead provides high throughput. Where traffic levels are expected to consistently exceed 4-5 messages per second, and where none of the added functionality provided by the HTTP API is required, the use of SMPP should be considered.
The application needs to connect to the WEBTEXT SMSC via SMPP v3.4.
