According to a Facebook page promoting a "Rodriguez for Mayor kickoff" this weekend — and the T-shirts being sold at the Old Miami on Cass — Rodriguez who experienced a nearly 40-year fame lag stemming from music he produced in the 1970s, is in fact going to be a mayoral candidate in the August primary.
Those commenting on the Facebook event, which "promises" to be the most fun kickoff event "in Detroit political history," indicates signature petitions are circulating and 66 say they plan to attend.
The rally is 8 p.m. Saturday at Detroit Contemporary, 5141 Rosa Parks, featuring live music from Invincible, Audra Kubat, Troy Gregory, SCUM, Cold Men Young, Breezee One and Buddy Smith, followed by a Magic City Soul Club dance party.
MLive has attempted to contact the creator's of the Facebook page but received no response as of Wednesday night.
Rodriguez, if he should enter the race — the final day to submit petitions is May 14 — would join a field of seven being led by Duggan or Napoleon, depending on which of two polls taken in the last month you believe.
Rodriguez retired from the music scene after a pair of records in the early-1970s. It was fun while it lasted, but little did he know his fame continued to percolate in Africa and Australia long after he put down the studio headphones.
A pair of men from South Africa tracked down Rodriguez, thought to possibly be dead, in 1998. He toured Africa playing to unexpectedly large crowds, but the 70-year-old's career was revived even further when a Oscar-winning documentary about the amazing rediscovery of Rodriguez reached legions of new fans in 2012.
He's currently embarking on an international and U.S. tour that looks to keep him busy until August, leaving little time for campaigning.
According to reader comments on the Detroit Yes! a similar scenario occurred in 2009 when it was rumored Rodriguez would run for the mayor's office, which he did not.
A March 21 Huffington Post story reports that Rodriguez dropped off petitions to at least two Cass Corridor locations, the Old Miami and Cass Cafe.
The story cited a now-dead link to a Detroit News story confirming he's run for mayor twice before.

The Whole World Is Watching
Human Rights Watch, an international group that monitors human rights abuses, has begun a joint publishing program with Yale University Press. Along with other books and reports on human rights, Yale will publish an annual "State of the World" volume.
Unfair Use
New York Federal Judge Louis Stanton has barred publication of A Piece of Blue Sky, Carol Publishing's unauthorized and highly unflattering biography of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Stanton says the book violated fair use by quoting 4,323 words of Hubbard's writing. Publisher Stephen Schragis says Carol will appeal the ruling — and also will publish an abridged version later this month.
Swifty's Secrets
The legendary Hollywood agent Irving P. "Swifty" Lazar has signed a deal with Simon & Schuster for his memoirs. Michael Shnayerson, a veteran of biographies (Cole Porter, Richard Nixon, Noel Coward, Irwin Shaw), will write the book.
The Long Walk to Freedom
Harper & Row is rushing into print with Higher Than Hope, the only authorized biography of Nelson Mandela. The author, Fatima Meer, a professor at the University of Natal and a Mandela family friend since the 1950s, has had exclusive access to the African leader, his papers, his family, and his friends. The book, with a foreword by Winnie Mandela, will arrive in stores early this week.
Spy magazine frequently refers to Donald Trump as the "short-fingered vulgarian." But when The Stanford Daily erroneously reported Spy's tag as"short-fingered Bulgarian," the paper had to issue a hasty retraction the next day: "The misquotation was not intended as a slur against Bulgarians."
All of you eagerly awaiting Fawn Hall's memoir will have to cool your heels. Originally due this year, the book has been postponed — and Warner Books isn't saying when it will be out.
New Leftovers
This spring Citadel Press will launch Citadel Underground, an imprint devoted to books — both new and reprints — about the American counterculture. "They're books for people who were there and people who wish they had been," says Underground editor Dan Levy. Some of the titles include Terry Southern's Red-Dirt Marijuana and Other Tastes, Ed Sanders' Tales of Beatnik Glory, and Don McNeill's Moving Through Here. The list of Citadel Underground's Board of Advisors (CUBA) includes William S. Burroughs, Wavy Gravy, Tuli Kupferberg, and Hunter S. Thompson.
Booked Up
Here's an option for those who like the library look but don't have the books: wallpaper made to resemble shelves of pricey books. A five-yard roll goes for $158.
We Won't Take This Lying Down
In its March "Active Health" column, Esquire magazine refers to ailments of the "prostrate" gland four times.

Once in a while there's a plant that makes a big impact in the gardening world, captivating the attention of gardeners everywhere.
In recent years, the purple leaf Loropetalum shrubs and trees are a prime example of such a plant...
There are annual bedding plants which prefer growing in full sun and others that prefer shade - but what about those spots in the landscape where the sun shines only during the morning or afternoon? Thankfully, there are annual bedding plants that meet either of these requirements, further enhancing the possibilities for seasonally beautifying your home and property.
Before we take a look at the varieties of annuals that will grow in the various partial sun or partial shade conditions, let's take a look at another important factor to consider when choosing annuals to plant throughout your landscape: color.
Since annual bedding plants are most useful to provide color throughout the landscape, color selection can be very important. Color can be used to visually change distance perspective and to set a certain mood:
Cool colors are restful while warm colors express action and are best used in filtered light or against a green or dark background.
Below are listings for annual plants that require or perform well in various types of exposure to sun. Some are useful for planting in flower beds, some are more useful for and happy when growing in containers, while others will perform well in beds or containers. When browing the lists below, click on any image or link to visit that plant's Plant File. In every Plant File on this website you will find usage tips.
Annuals that prefer only the morning sun can be planted in beds or containers situated in areas of the landscape that provide such conditions. Many annuals, such as impatiens, caladiums, torenias and the others listed below are also very useful as fillers to provide season-long color among hosta lilies, ferns and other shade loving plants that have been grouped together in the perennial or shrub shade garden.
Below you will find a listing of annual bedding plants that grow well in morning sun with shade in the afternoon. Click on any link or thumbnail image to see an expanded Plant File that contains a detailed plant description and instructions for care.

When it comes to plant selection, designers often find this sun exposure requirement one of the most difficult. Some plants require sunshine in the morning to dry dew from foliage in order to avoid the onset of damaging fungus. But not to worry, there are many plants that will tolerate or thrive in morning shade with afternoon sun exposure.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - It truly was an honor to meet 90 year old Demaris Schebig, "Dee."
She lives at a northeast Fort Wayne apartment complex, nominated by her maintenance manager.
Everyone there thinks the world of her.
The stories Dee can tell!
The North Webster native is a trained hair stylist, World War II veteran who served in the Women Army Corps, and an Honor Flight veteran, having made the trip to Washington, D.C. to see the WAC monument and other monuments so important to her and to her generation.
Dee lost her beloved husband nearly 30 years ago. They'd visited the 50 states together, and she placed little "pieces" of those trips in memory jars.
They planned on more vacations.
Instead, her great-nephew took her on some world travels, and her daughter created a scrapbook of her life!
A long, meaningful life of a woman who wasn't going to sit and be sad about her loss and other "bumps in the road" as she puts it.
She devoted herself to others.
Dee Schebig says, "Whenever you see someone that you think needs help, never walk away."
Jill Bales, property manager, says, "She is going back and forth all day long like people our age do. She never stops. She takes people to lunch. She takes them gifts. She's got my daughter a birthday card each years since I've been here. She remembers everything, dates, times everything. She's a gem."
Gary Momenee, maintenance manager, says, "I think she can teach others to be more like God intended us to be like. She's quite an inspiration. I just can't thank her enough for the things that she does, and the things that she teaches me, and the stories she tells and the candy bars!"
Dee says, "I sat at my kitchen table, and I wrote down all these things. I could make soup and cookies, and if there was someone that needed help, I could take them to a doctor, take them shopping, and it would fill my life. God takes good care of me. He put me here with these people, and He puts me in places where I can do something for someone, and it keeps me busy, and it fills my life, and it keeps my morale up, and keeps me happy
Dee has family close and is thankful for their love and for her Faith.
She'll turn 91 in October.
Please keep those Angel nominations coming!

Posted: 6 years 51 weeks ago
With much fanfare and even a few parties, Windows 7 has arrived. In this extensive review, Peter Bright dives deep into Microsoft's new OS offering to see what's new, what's still the same, and whether it's worth upgrading.
Prologue: A troubled past
A bit less than three years ago, Windows Vista was officially launched after a long delay. The operating system brought a raft of long-overdue new features to the Windows platform to make it truly fit for hardware of the 21st century. In came a new graphics stack and sound stack, as well as significant security, networking, and storage changes.
The changes were all well and good—the graphics work in particular was essential to allow Windows to offer functionality equivalent to that found in Mac OS X for many years—but they came at a high cost. To take advantage of all the new features required the use of all-new Windows Vista hardware drivers. In the OS's early days, these were often slow, unreliable, or simply non-existent. In spite of the extended development process and lengthy open beta, many vendors were apparently caught off-guard by Windows Vista's release and its preference for new drivers, so they chose to ignore the new OS for many months.
Software vendors didn't fare much better. Vista's new User Account Control (UAC) system meant that most of the time even administrators were stripped of their full privileges, forcing all software to run as a regular user account; full access was only provided after a confirmation prompt. Though software should long ago have stopped requiring admin rights—Windows NT had this kind of security since its inception—the reality was that many applications lazily assumed that the person running them would have full administrator privileges all the time. Take those privileges away, and the programs start breaking.... (Read More)

LANSING -- Authorities in the capital area on Monday announced a new regional collaboration targeting violent crime.
The Violent Crime Initiative is a partnership of federal, state, county and local authorities, courts and communities aiming to reduce violent crime in the Lansing area "through a focused, intelligence-led policing model," Lansing interim Police Chief Mike Yankowski said.
"Let me be clear, we have no tolerance for violent crime in the city of Lansing or in the capital area," he said at a Monday press conference announcing the new initiative. "For those of you who have no respect for life...we are coming after you. We are pursuing you with all available tools and resources...federal prosecution and firm sentencing.
"We are going to take our streets back."
The Violent Crime Initiative began taking shape two years ago, Yankowski said, when Lansing-area authorities started discussing innovative ways to collaborate. The effort was led by the Michigan State University Police Department until May when the Lansing Police Department assumed leadership.
The VCI takes a proactive approach to policing, Yankowski said, identifying active violent offenders and hot spots based on data and investigations.
"We know where most of the violent offenders are in our communities," Yankowski said. "Small groups are responsible for a majority of the violent crimes in our communities."
The VCI approach was implemented in several recent cases, including the mass shootings along I-96 in the fall of 2012 and the recent bank robbery in Stockbridge. From June 13 to June 15, the initiative conducted its first major operation where law enforcement officials made more than 66 arrests, issued 35 tickets, 125 warnings, made contact with 136 persons, made 178 traffic stops, screened two cases for federal prosecution, recovered two firearms, attempted nine warrants, conducted more than 22 hours of surveillance, executed two search warrants and one drug raid.
Officers from Lansing and MSU conducted the operation with assistance from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Michigan Department of Corrections, Michigan State Police and Ingham County officials.
"This was an operation where we worked together...targeting hot spots and violent offenders," Yankowski said. It was a "successful start of the next phase of the VCI operation."
The operation included surveillance of known offenders, saturating high-crime areas and controlled buys. Yankowski said it was "just a sample" of the kind of enforcement the VCI will continue to implement.
"The senseless killings, the violent assaults in our neighborhoods need to stop," Yankowski said. "The violence is not always about drugs and money but more about vendettas and trivial (incidents). The code of the street has gotten to the point where not responding to a slight is (seen as a bad reputation).
"The value...placed in maintaining street cred has legitimized killings. As a community, we need to stand up and say, 'Enough is enough.'"
Michigan State Police Lt. Tom Kish, who was one of several representing different agencies at Monday's press conference, said the partnership and collaboration of so many agencies to combat violent crime is "pretty awesome."
Yankowski said authorities know they are in a better position to prevent violent crime when working in conjunction.
"The VCI (is) law enforcement officials at all levels sitting down and saying what we can do...to really bring forth the idea of fighting violent crime in our neighborhoods," he said. "We all know we can't do it on our own, but if we combine all our resources, all our intelligence and all our knowledge, we're stronger."

The weather in Tallinn was pretty much as predicted: cloudy, snowy and cold. And I am happy to report the wear to where selections I packed for the trip kept me perfectly warm while I shopped the Christmas market.
With just a handful of stalls in the main square selling sweaters, hats, gloves and Glögg - the Estonian version of mulled wine - the market is small. But set amongst medieval squares and cobbled streets, what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm.
|These spirits give mulled wine a taste of Tallinn.
It wasn't just the Christmas markets that charmed me, but the city as a whole. Not only is Tallinn the European City of Culture for 2011, its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The medieval town has two distinct areas: Toompea Hill and Lower Town.
Toompea Hill is considered the birth place of Tallinn and though today the Estonian flag waves proudly above the Pikk Hermann Tower, it is acknowledged that the country's whose flag flies above the tower was the ruler of Estonia. Over the centuries, the flags of Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Russia have all held a place atop the tower, and though the flags of these occupying countries no longer fly over Pikk Hermann Tower, just a few feet away are other prominent remnants of Estonia's foreign "guests".
|Patriarch being helped up the steps of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
Kiek in de Kok is a 15th century cannon tower whose name translate to peep into the kitchen. It came by this interesting name because medieval soldiers claimed they could see into the kitchens of the houses below. It's now a museum, and if you get there when it's open (unlike me), it might be fun to see "what's cooking" in the Lower Town.
|The view from the top. Tallinn as seen from the viewing platform.
|I was in Tallinn!!
After taking in the views from the viewing platform, I headed for Lower Town, meandering my way down the winding, cobblestone streets. The Town Hall Square is at the center of life in Tallinn, just as it was during medieval times. The Gothic building dates from the 15th century, and Old Thomas, the weather vane that has been perched on top of the building since 1530, is the symbol of Tallinn.
Town Hall Square is the Christmas market is located, and it's also where you'll find one of Europe's oldest pharmacies. The exact date of when the pharmacy opened isn't known, but records indicate that it was on its third owner by 1422. It still serves as a pharmacy, but part of the shop is now also a museum.
Not far from Town Hall Square is the medieval passage way, St. Catherine's. In this little walkway there are several artisan workshops, which offer much more unique findings than what was available at the Christmas market, and what remains of St. Catherine's Church, which is mostly tombstones that used to be inside the church.
When you walk out of the other side of St. Catherine's Passage, you'll be standing in front of Hellemann Tower. One of the many medieval fortresses in Tallinn, the tower now houses an art gallery. I took the tower tour so in addition to the art gallery, I was able to walk along a section of the tower wall and get another cool view of Old Town.
Viru Gate is the main entrance into Old Town. When I saw these twin towers, I audibly oohh-ed. Along the side is a little flower market, cafes and a park, where you could just sit and look at this beautiful piece of architecture. I didn't because it was too cold, but you could. I passed by the gate again when it was dark and it was all lit up for Christmas.
That almost made up for the fact that it was 3:30 in the afternoon. Almost.

A fifteenth-century Dutch theologian, born at Gröningen in 1420; died there on 4 Oct., 1489. He was educated at Zwolle and lived in the seminary of the Brothers of the Common Life. From 1449 he studied at the University of Cologne , and graduated master of arts there. In 1456-7 he was temporary professor of arts at the University of Heidelberg. About the beginning of 1458 he went to Paris, intending to induce two celebrated teachers from the Netherlands, then lecturing at Paris, to change from Formalism to Realism, which he advocated zealously. He himself, however, was converted to Formalism, and then adopted Nominalism, to which he afterwards adhered. His stay at Paris lasted probably until 1473; He left very likely because of the edict issued in that year by Louis XI against Nominalism. He then spent some time in 1474 at Venice, and apparently at Basle, after which he returned home and devoted himself in quiet to learning. He spent the greater part of his last years alternately in several monasteries. Though he remained a layman, he was interested mainly in theological questions. A selection from his writings, "Farrago rerum theologicarum", was issued at Zwolle, probably in 1521 (reprint at Wittenberg, 1522, and Basle, 1522, this latter containing a commendatory preface by Luther ). The Basle edition included several letters to and from Wessel. Shortly after 1521 Wessel published at Zwolle: "De sacramento Eucharistiæ et audienda missa"; "De oratione et modo orandi"; "De causis incarnationis". A complete edition of his works appeared at Gröningen in 1614, with a biographical sketch by the Protestant preacher Albert Hardenberg.
Protestants usually regard Wessel as a precursor of Luther. The first publication of the "Farrago rerum theologicarum" was the work of Protestants, who presented in it a collection of extracts which seemed to favour Protestantism. This judgment, maintained in modern times by Ullmann, is one-sided and exaggerates Wessel's deviations from the teaching of the Church. True his theology contains dogmatic errors, some of which were later taught by Luther. He denies the infallible office of teaching of the Church, and the infallibility of the pope and the ecumenical councils. He disputes the right of ecclesiastical superiors to give commands that bind under sin. He emphasizes too strongly the subjective activity of the faithful in sharing the fruits of Communion and of the Sacrifice of the Mass ( opus operantis ), so that the objective working of the sacrament ( opus operatum ) seems to be impaired. In the Sacrament of Penance he acknowledges the priestly absolution, but denies its judicial character. He rejects satisfaction as a part of the sacrament, holding that with the remission of sins the temporal punishment is also remitted. He regards an indulgence as a merely external release from canonical punishments and censures; in his opinion, purgatory serves not to punish temporally sins remitted in this world, but only to purify souls from inordinate desires, and from venial sins. Yet in those points which touch the fundamental doctrines of the Reformers, Wessel stands entirely on Catholic ground. He teaches the freedom of the will, justification not by faith alone but by faith active in love, the meritorious character of good works; the rule of faith as formed by the Scriptures and Tradition ; he acknowledges the primacy of the pope, the efficacy of the Sacraments ex opere operato , Transubstantiation by the priestly consecration, the sacrificial character of the Holy Eucharist, and holds firmly to the veneration of the Blessed Virgin. Such being the character of his theology, he cannot be regarded as a precursor of the Reformation. He never thought of separating from the Church and he died a Catholic. During his lifetime he was never taken to task by the Inquisition. In the sixteenth century his writings, however, were placed on the Index of forbidden books on account of their errors.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

The members of Engine 284/Ladder 149
Firefighters from Engine 284/Ladder 149 celebrated a milestone on Apr. 10, 100 years of service in Brooklyn.
"For many, many years, generations of outstanding captains, lieutenants and firefighters have called this firehouse their home," Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said. "They built their own traditions here. And they embraced the traditions of service and bravery this Department has always been known for. With each new generation of Firefighters who walked through those doors, those traditions have lived on."
Chief of Department Edward Kilduff added, "This firehouse has withstood the test of time because of the pride of these firefighters. There are so many people here who share in the legacy.
Hundreds of members past and present attended the ceremony at the firehouse in Dyker Heights.
Hundreds of present and past members attended the centennial celebration in Brooklyn.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A local teen is finishing out his senior year at an alternative school after tweeting the F-word got him expelled. A teacher from southern Michigan lost her job after posting a picture on her private Facebook page. Some corporations have even asked current and potential employees for their Facebook passwords.
Social media, and newly embraced company policies directed at the platform, are leaving many asking can they do that?
"I think that really is the key question and right now that answer doesn't exist," said John Kaufeld, social media marketing, IPFW.
Many schools and workplaces have rules in place for their networks and their computers, but now people can access the Internet from their phones, through their own Internet connection.
And of course they can post to their social media sites on their own time. So the question is, where do employers and school districts draw the line?
"We have something that came out of nowhere. We don't have existing laws that cover a system like Facebook or Twitter. Right now we're in that uncomfortable zone where we've got old rules that were designed to apply in a different world and we're trying valiantly to apply those in a Facebook Twitter, always connected world, but really, they don't fit," said Kaufeld.
Kaufeld says in order to see change, the ones who are being impacted now need to start setting precedents.
"They need to stand up and keep that discussion moving forward. It's not going to be fun, it's not going to be pretty, but it's gotta be done," said Kaufeld.
Kaufeld says the more people question the action being taken, the sooner these boundaries will become more defined.

What is in this article?:
- Aflatoxin still a concern for Southeastern corn growers
- Goes out at tasseling
- Less kernel damage
• You want the corn to mature before the temperature hits a sustained 95 degrees F. in the afternoon.
• Temperatures must get really high for the fungus to produce toxins.
PLANT STRESS DUE to drought, heat or insect damage during fungus growth usually increases aflatoxin levels in corn.
Less kernel damage
"At this point in time, from the different Bt II traits, we're seeing less kernel and silk damage and some yield gains in some years, but that's not resulting in a reduction in aflatoxin.
"So we're not seeing an association between advanced Bt traits and less aflatoxin in corn, and there's still a lot of work to be done on Afla-Guard to see how consistent it is in reducing the amount of aflatoxin on corn."
Proline fungicide actually has a label for aflatoxin suppression in corn in the Midwest, and as far south as Arkansas, says Hagan.
"We should get the opportunity to add that label in Alabama. We don't know if this treatment will work on aflatoxin, but we'll be looking at it this year."
Hagan says there have been a few concerns about Northern corn leaf blight on corn in Alabama.
"There are differences in sensitivity among corn varieties to the disease. On some varieties, the leaf spots will be about 2 or 3 inches long, while they will be about 18 inches long on another variety."
Northern corn leaf blight doesn't have the same effect on yields — particularly on early corn — that Southern corn rust can have, says Hagan.
"To really reduce yields in corn, Northern corn leaf blight has got to take out the ear leaf, and I haven't seen many situations on early corn where that has occurred.
"If you plant double-crop corn, or corn after wheat, then all bets are off. It's very active in double-cropped corn. The best defense is to plant early.
"Once we get into wet weather patterns in June, you could be in real trouble. Wet weather really drives foliar diseases in corn, and Northern corn leaf blight will be more severe in late-planted corn."
Several new corn fungicides are on the market, including Evito T, TopGuard and Priaxor, says Hagan.
"In the trials we've done on early corn where disease pressure isn't that great, there really isn't a lot of difference between the generic products and the name-brand materials.
"But when you get into double-cropped corn or when you have severe rust, the name-brand products do a much better job of protecting corn, and we tend to see a higher yield gain with those products compared with generics."
If you have reniform nematode, corn is great for rotating with cotton, says Hagan. It fits well, and it'll knock down any reniform nematode problems.
"However, we run into problems when we have root-knot nematodes. If fields have root-knot nematodes with cotton, it'll jump onto corn and will reduce yields substantially.
"You don't get the stunting you sometimes see with other nematodes in corn, but in trials we've seen that corn dries down faster and yields are reduced."
Materials like Mocap and Counter applied as a granular treatment in-furrow will not only suppress nematodes, but will have activity against insects, says Hagan.
"The other options are seed dressings that also are labeled for nematode suppression in corn.
If you've had a lot of root-knot nematodes in the field, and you're in a corn/cotton rotation, it would help to put peanuts in the rotation to suppress nematodes and bring up yields on corn and cotton."

Sea creature washes ashore
A Giant Pacific Octopus died Monday.
Suspicion is growing over how the 6-foot-long enteroctopus dofleini met its demise. Its body was found approximately 10 meters off shore, near the airplane at City Beach Park.
Some, such as Keith Ludemann, an environmental education specialist at Fort Casey, think the orange-hued creature simply died as the result of an amorous adventure. If it were a male, the prime suspect would be the partner, as male octopuses die within 48 hours of mating.
When they mate, they die, Ludemann said.
Mating is also fatal for the female. She must tend to her eggs 24 hours per day, meaning she does not eat during the five to seven month gestation period.
Information was not immediately available as to the sex of the octopus.
What officials do know, however, is that nothing really stands out about this case, making a determination of the cause of death difficult.
Six-foot really isnt that big, Ludemann said. Twelve foot is considered average. The biggest Ive had in my lab was 16 feet.
Oak Harbors Harbormaster Dave Williams said that he was unaware of the octopuss presence in the area.
If you would have asked me if there was an octopus around here, I would have told you no, he said.
He has seen some other creatures that seemed out of their element in the marina. It is not rare for a seal pup to appear, but that has not happened for approximately four years, he said. Reports also have surfaced about a large ray patrolling the harbor.
Were not normally blessed with any exotic sea creatures in here, Williams said.
Witnesses at the scene examined the dead animal for evidence of foul play. Carly Hall moved the tentacles to look at the beak, which is used for drilling holes into the shells of crabs or bivalves for food. Carlys brother, Stevie, was put off by the site.
Its really gross, he said. I think I touched its brain.
Ludemann said that it is OK for the average person to do their own inspection of this kind of death.
You dont want to take it in or try to forage it for food, he said. Itll just go back to nature; the crabsll eat it and the birds will pick at it.
The beast was not out of its element in the city areas of Oak Harbor. Commonly found nestled in rock outcroppings, the large creatures can take refuge nearly anywhere. Several are thought to live around the area of the old pier, Ludemann said.
Wherever theres crab, theyre happy, he said.
If searching for a prime example, a 23-foot-long specimen is rumored to inhabit a jetty near Fort Casey.

Major League Baseball's' All-Star break is this week as all 30 teams get a chance to rest up before grinding through the 'dog days' of summer. Looking at the standings, there are around eight teams in each league, or a little over half that can still legitimately entertain thoughts of winning this year's World Series. Out of those 16 teams, there are maybe four or five that realistically have a chance to actually do it.
Bodog.com has Philadelphia at even money (1/1) to win the National League Pennant and at 11/4 to win it all. The Phillies have the best record in baseball at 57-34 and have a pitching staff that has more than lived up to expectations. Roy Oswalt has been plagued with sore back this season, but the combination of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels has won 31 games so far and showing little sign of slowing down.
The Boston Red Sox remain the odds-on-favorite to win the American League at 3/2 and the second-favorite to win the World Series at 7/2. They are clinging to a half-game lead over New York in the AL East with an overall record of 55-35, but come into the All-Star break with nine wins in their last 10 games. The Red Sox recipe for success this season has been to pound teams into submission with an average of 5.36 runs per game; the highest average in the Majors.
The Yankees have tried to employ the same strategy with an average of 5.17 runs per game and seem poised to battle their rivals right down to the final week of the season for the AL East title. New York is the second favorite to win the AL Pennant at 3/1 and the third favorite at 6/1 to win a world title. It may actually have a slight edge in overtaking the Red Sox with a better overall pitching staff that is ranked fourth in the AL with a team ERA of 3.46.
Last season's World Series runner-up, the Texas Rangers are the third favorite to win the AL at 15/2 and fourth favorite to win the MLB championship this season at 14/1. They have a battle on their hands in the AL West with just a one-game lead over Los Angeles at the break. Texas is ranked eighth in the AL in pitching with a 3.93 ERA, and has had to rely heavily on a lineup that is punching out an average of close to five runs a game.
The Atlanta Braves trail the Phillies by 3.5 games in the NL East, which is the largest deficit in any of the six division races, but have been able to keep their rivals within striking distance behind the second-best pitching staff in the Majors. The Braves are a bit of an anomaly when it comes to the odds, as they are the fourth favorite at 8/1 to win the National League behind Philly, Milwaukee (7/1) and San Francisco (7/1), but the fifth favorite to win the World Series at 15/1 with the same odds at the Brewers and slightly better odds than the defending world champion Giants (16/1). Right now, Atlanta has a solid grasp on the Wildcard spot in the NL with a five-game lead over Arizona, so the likelihood it gets into the postseason looks pretty good.

Eighteen months ago, Holyoke's Mastex Industries shut its doors, resulting in the layoff of 80 workers and delivering another blow to the Paper City's long-standing reputation as one of the region's thriving industrial centers.
On Monday, the seeds of hope were sown for an economic revival when Gov. Deval L. Patrick named the hollow factory, which once churned out fabric for automobile manufacturers such as Ford and General Motors, as the site for a proposed $100 million high-performance computing center. The Mastex site, which runs along the first-level canal on Bigelow Street, was chosen over Open Square, a massive renovated mill complex located between Lyman and Dwight streets.
The $100 million question is whether the new high-tech fabric that will pulse through the Mastex building at 3 Bigelow St. can be harnessed as a major job creator for the region.
Only 20 or so people will be needed to run the Holyoke Green High Performance Computing Center that will support research at several top-tier Massachusetts colleges, including the University of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
But like the canal that powered Holyoke's rise as a model industrial city, local planners and economic development officials hope the center will become a new catalyst for 21st century jobs that depend on technology to thrive.
Timothy W. Brennan, executive director of the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission and a member of the Holyoke Innovation Design and Development Task Force, is optimistic that new businesses will find their way to Holyoke and its environs. "They will come here in my estimation if we give them a reason to," he said. "The idea is to keep the benefits flowing out in concentric rings."
The consortium of colleges and companies involved in the project – which also include Harvard and Northeastern universities, computer networking giant Cisco Systems Inc. of San Jose, California, and information storage company EMC Corp. of Hopkinton – plan to break ground on the project this year. Let's hope the data center will become the thread for a technology driven revival for the entire region.

Mike Munchak, the former Tennessee Titans coach and a target of Penn State's search for its next head coach, will interview Friday with the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Munchak, who has spent the last 31 years in the Titans organization, is also drawing interest from NFL teams as an offensive line coach.
Munchak was fired on Jan. 4, in part because of his refusal to fire his assistant coaches. He turned down a contract extension and raise and told The Tennesseean he did "what I thought was right."
"I did what you should do and what I thought was right," Munchak said. "For me to maintain a job and a lot of guys lose jobs on a plan I didn't think was right, I couldn't do that. I'll make tough decisions, but not if they're not right."
Munchak is on the Nittany Lions' wish list to fill the void left when Bill O'Brien moved on to the NFL's Houston Texans. A Pro Football Hall of Famer and former All-America lineman at Penn State, Munchak made an impression on the PSU search committee, PennLive's David Jones reported yesterday.
Munchak was a nine-time Pro Bowler for the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans franchise before joining the staff as an offensive assistant in 1994. He coached the offensive line from 1997 to 2010 before accepting the head coaching position in 2011. Munchak played at Penn State from 1979-'81 and was a first-round pick (No. 8 overall) of the Oilers in the 1982 NFL draft.
He expressed sadness in leaving the Titans franchise this week.
"My goal as head coach was to do things the right way with the right people and I felt confident that the results would follow. Sometimes rebuilding a team and its culture takes time, but I truly believe we were on the verge of great things. Unfortunately my vision did not match that of the organization, so we will part ways."
Munchak had a 22-26 record in three seasons as Titans coach, including a 7-9 mark this season. After starting the season 3-1, Tennessee lost eight of 10 games to fall out of contention and needed wins over Jacksonville (4-12) and Houston (2-14) to salvage a seven-win season.

Why Is GLAAD Coming Up Short on CBS's Super Bowl Ad Controversy?
GLAAD is in the middle of one of its cutesy "call to actions" with CBS over the television network's disparate policy on advocacy ads during the Super Bowl. But what's notably absent from the organization's latest note about the controversy is a threat to actually, like, doing anything to CBS if it refuses to see GLAAD's side of things.
From "asking for answers" about CBS's rejection of that terrible ManCrunch ad to noting the network's acceptance of an ad from an anti-gay group to calling out CBS for rolling back its positive representations of gays, what we've got here are a lot of talking points. And yet, a week before the big game, still nothing from CBS. And we wouldn't be surprised if that's how it will stay.
Because CBS doesn't care all that much. Without an ultimatum from GLAAD or any Gay Inc. group — i.e. reject the ad or we'll mount pressure on your other big bucks advertisers — there's really no reason for the network to give credence to our concerns about it letting the vehemently anti-gay Focus On The Family run its anti-choice ad. The Super Bowl is, after all, one big day of high-definition heterosexual machismo, and a few fags queening out over a dating ad can be ignored.
Moreover, Sunday's game is a huge contributor to CBS's bottom line. Which means the network may get around to addressing the scandal, but only after it's collected the $2.5 million checks from those 30-second suckers. Which explains why it appears CBS is, quite literally, sticking its fingers in its ears and pretending GLAAD isn't even talking.
Keith Kimmel
Well, at least they are doing something now, finally. Better late than never, I suppose.
I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with me starting to chew on them on their Facebook page after a GLAAD staffer accused me of being transphobic and deleted some comments I made questioning their handling of the Taco Bell incident. At about the same time, Towlerroad mentioned that some womens groups came out against the Tim advert after that, so I decided to start harpooning GLAAD over that, too. About an hour later, they came out with their first call to action.
About bloody time.Jan 31, 2010 at 2:34 pm · @Reply ·
Is Budweiser going to run any Superbowl Ads? Maybe we should ask them to pull their ad if the FOTF ad doesn't get pulled. Bud has been good to our local community here (Premium Beers – local Bud bottler here) has sponsored our Pride parade for a number of years.
I contacted GLAAD directly asking them to act to stop the broadcast of the commercial since it's a perfect example of homophobia, but since CBS rejected it (probably also because of homophobia and not the internalized kind) it's kind of a moot public point. Mancrunch should be the reprimanded entity.
We are being used by our fellow liberal victim class, the feminists. The feminists are pathetic idiots who have used us to publicize their grievance at the Tim Tebow ad.
You never hear feminists railing against the cosmetics industry or the fashion industry, two industries which put enormous pressure on women to conform to an appearance, often to their physical and psychological detriment. Why isn't the feminist movement complaining about these industries?
It matters if CBS hears from us, not GLAAD.
But, I agree with the last post – the ManCrunch Ad is either a prank or put together by complete morons. I wish it was never seen, by anyone.
We don;t really need GLAAD anymore. We have enough media attention without them. There was a time when the were good LGBT cops, but they are no longer necessary. They've become a waste of $20 million a year.
Glaad is too busy redecorating their new offices anyhow…….
Simon, is that you're opinion of lesbians or just the straight feminists?
Glaad takes money from CBS for just such occaisions as this. They pretend to be upset but promise not to issue a call to arms. They've been bought and paid for.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Rain has pushed back the first pitch between Alabama and Auburn at the MAX Capital City Classic until Wednesday.
Rain showers and 40-degree temperatures delayed the start time of the game Tuesday twice before officials decided to postpone the game until Wednesday at 7 p.m. First pitch was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
Tickets from the rainout can be used Wednesday.
Auburn (6-5) is 5-0 against Alabama (6-3) in the Capital City Classic, which is played at Riverwalk Stadium. The early-season game will not count in the SEC standings.

SB 567 comes at a critical time and deserves the support of every member of the House of Representatives when it comes up for debate today. Sadly, some Jefferson County House delegation members have not embraced this vital piece of legislation.
It has been more than a year since the Alabama Supreme Court struck down the county's occupational tax. That is more than enough time for the county's House delegation to have developed a solution, but it has not.
The sooner the Legislature restores Jefferson County's ability to generate much-needed revenue, the sooner the county can get out of bankruptcy and stop paying bankruptcy attorneys $1 million a month.
Until then, economic development is impaired across Alabama, and the cost of borrowing money is increased for every county, city and school system.
SB 567 includes important checks and balances. It is an act of responsibility that deserves broad support.

Syracuse, NY — The man charged with misdemeanor assault and weapons possession following a four-hour standoff with police Saturday now faces a more serious felony weapons possession count.
Thomas F. Hennessy II, 22, of 171 Malverne Drive, was charged at midnight with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the incident, according to a police report filed Sunday. That's on top of the misdemeanor fourth-degree criminal weapons possession with which he was charged immediately after the standoff.
It could not be learned Sunday afternoon why the additional charge was filed.
Police say Hessessy retreated to his basement with a rifle after officers responded about 3 a.m. Saturday to a call from a woman who said that her boyfriend had hit her. Police blocked Malverne Drive and Court Street, alerted neighbors by reverse 911 and tried to contact Hennessy by phone and bullhorn. Hennessy surrendered about 7 a.m.
No shots were fired during the incident, police said.

1. Championship defense in the first half: The New York Knicks averaged 106.5 points per game this season, second highest in the NBA. In four games against the Boston Celtics, New York did not break 100 points once. A historic 42-point solo act from Carmelo Anthony in Game 2 resulted in just 92 points for the Knicks. D'Antoni's brilliant scoring system produced just one quarter each game of more than 24 points, according to the tweet of Jon Schuhmann of NBA.com.
In the first half of Game 4, the Celtics defended like the 2001 Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens, with Kevin Garnett playing the central role of Ray Lewis. They were loud, physical, forced turnovers (8), and scored points off those turnovers.
Amare Stoudemire took the floor, his back noticeably improved, and a bounce in his step. Garnett and crew forced him to miss his first nine field goal attempts. In the first half, the Knicks combined to make only 11 of their 47 field goals. The Celtics took hold of the game in the second quarter when New York bricked 17 of its 20 shots. Carmelo Anthony held his team afloat with 15 first-quarter points, but the suffocating Celtics defense took the Knicks' air in the second quarter, taking a 17-point lead into half time.
2. Offensive aggression from Kevin Garnett: In Game 3, while Paul Pierce and Ray Allen barbequed the New York defense, Garnett was content to lead the defense and rebounding efforts. But with Pierce and Allen cooling off (10-31 combined FG's) in Game 4, Garnett shouldered the scoring load in the second half and dragged
Boston across the finish line.
In the third frame, Garnett sank three consecutive jump shots to push the lead to 22, but the Knicks came storming back, cutting the lead to 10 by the end of the third quarter. The lead dwindled to four points with 7:33 remaining, before Doc Rivers reinserted Garnett and the starters into the game and order was restored.
Garnett scored 20 points in the second half (26 for the game), and essentially put the game away with a jumper from the left wing that gave the Celtics an 11-point lead with just over two minutes remaining.
"We kind of anticipated them making their run at some point," Garnett said. "They are just too good offensively not to put up points.
"They got aggressive and made that run ... I thought we kept that run very short and sustained it and then made a run of our own. We made shot after shot. We got into a rhythm and we got some stops and that was it."
3. Rajon Rondo brilliant once again: Rondo followed up his 20-assist, Game 3 triple-double with a modest 21 points, 12 assists, and five rebounds. The only blemishes on another playoff masterpiece were Rondo's six missed free throws and six turnovers.
Before the game, Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni called out Rondo, questioning whether he'd be such a productive player without so many stars in his sky.
"I'd like to see him play in Minnesota and see how he does," D'Antoni said. "Everyone is tied together, they have three Hall of Famers out there."
Apparently, the 30-point output, followed by a 20-assist game wasn't evidence enough for D'Antoni. Rondo silenced D'Antoni with his Game 4 effort, however.
4. Glen Davis breaks out of his shooting slump: Glen Davis had made just five of his 18 field goal attempts and scored 10 points prior to Game 2. From the first quarter to the pivotal second quarter of Game 4, however, Davis made five consecutive shots and drew an offensive foul on Amare Stoudemire.
Davis broke out of an extended shooting slump, connecting on six of eight for 14 points, while grabbing five rebounds.

What is in this article?:
- Financial benchmark tool provides perspective on farm operation
- Benchmark yourself
Think Different
Aaron Lee, Salem, Ind., farmer, has a customized form showing cash flow, expected cash draws, grain inventories, operating loan status and the weekly weather forecast one month and six months out. He and his family can also determine cash flow by field our cash flows, rents, and keep better records on crop inputs.
"You have to be 'all in' for financial benchmarking to work, he says. "Benchmarking with other farmers is relationship-driven. It takes time to build trust and share all of your data, but it's well worth the effort."
More About:
Aaron Lee has a simple, 1-page form he checks at least weekly for a quick glance of his farm's financial situation. The Salem, Ind., fifth-generation corn and soybean farmer at Cornerstone Family Farms, says the "financial dashboard" keeps the farm on track, especially in today's tightening margin environment.
"We've customized our form to include cash flow, expected cash draws, grain inventories, operating loan status and the weekly weather forecast," says Lee, who farms with his wife, parents and sister and brother-in-law. "We look at financials one month and six months out. With the farm economy where it is, every dollar can make a huge difference. You have to prepare during the good times to manage the bad times."
Lee adopted the concept after Cornerstone Family Farms joined the Brighton, Ill.,-based FamilyFarms Group in 2008. He's one of 13 farmers nationwide that participates in a general manager benchmarking program he joined after his dad began to transition the operation to him. Benchmarking, a commonly used success measuring stick in other industries, allows participating farmers to compare their financial data against other similar operations.
The practice is becoming more prevalent in agriculture, says Jeff Haferkamp, chief operating officer for FamilyFarms Group. "We know it works. Within our general manager group, farmers share such details as working capital ratios, loanable entities and free cash-flow projections and then break it down by crop. We keep finding new layers to compare."
The benchmarking process includes, but goes beyond, the obvious crop input costs and revenue to include a closer look at basis, machinery efficiency, cash rent and employee salaries and benefits. The group compares notes on types of acres, including single- versus double-crop and non-irrigated versus irrigated. All data remains confidential, and must be consistent and comprehensive to be effective.
"Neighbors don't talk about these kinds of specifics because they're competitors." It's better to talk with like-minded farmers from other regions, says Lee. "For example, with a bigger crop this year, we explored storage options and learned more about costs associated with bagging grain, to decide whether we wanted to implement the practice."
Benchmarking also helped Lee move from a simple recordkeeping system that tracked input costs and revenues to something more complete. The family implemented new software in 2009 to capture more detail; moving from whole-farm tracking to crop tracking to now tracking both.
We can determine our cash flows and rents by field, and keep better records on crop inputs," says Lee.
"I also am confident that if we had a spot check from the government, our records would meet regulations."
Jim Sladek, JCS Family Farms, Iowa City, Iowa, is also part of the group. "We started financial benchmarking last year. This year we are looking at profit and loss statements and balance sheets by crop," he says. "This really opens my eyes where I need to focus and what I can impact now instead of waiting until end of the year end and making adjustments."
Sladek makes a budget and compares it to actual on a monthly basis and adjusts where needed. During the 2012 summer drought, he was able to make a fairly accurate estimate of his fall position and take it to his lender before the lender asked about the farm's financial position.
"We were able to be proactive and show we were in the black," he says. "As it turns out, we were very close with our year-end estimate and able to build confidence with our lender."

Rumor of the Week: Aaron Paul would do the final 'Sons of Anarchy' season
Put legitimately zero faith into this, but it's still a fun rumor: Could Aaron Paul appear on the final season of "Sons of Anarchy"?
Well, earlier this week, "SoA" creator Kurt Sutter tweeted, "Why the web is fab: I'm asked, name an actor I'd like to work with. I say @aaronpaul_8. Now apparently he's Jax's long lost brother in S7."
Paul responded, "Wait a minute...is that not true??? I was getting really excited about making some serious stuff happen. Ps. I love you."
With that level of love on both sides, how could this match made in heaven not come tonight?
Let us count the ways...
"Sons of Anarchy" begins its seventh and final season this fall.
