CANSCAIP October MeetingWed. Nov. 9, 7:00 pm
SPEAKERS: Joyce Grant & Angela Misri - How to use the web to sell books
Do you think of the internet as a big waste of time, looking at cat pictures when you should be writing? It can be. But it can also be the fastest way to find and engage a new audience and actually sell books. This session is all about focusing your time online to drive readership and book sales. From your author/illustrator website to your Goodreads presence to tweeting - we'll give you some great ideas!
Angela Misri is a YA author who spent 14 years as CBC Radio's digital expert. She teaches digital journalism at Ryerson University and U of T.
Joyce Grant is a picture book and middle-grade author. She has created award-winning marketing campaigns, ads, and strategic marketing for corporations, and formerly co-owned a small ad agency.

OPENING KEYNOTE 9:00-9:30 (everyone attends)
MORNING SESSIONS 9:45-10:45 (Choose 1, 2 or 3)
A picture book text is short and simple, especially compared to a novel, so why is writing a good one often such a long and complicated undertaking? Discover the challenges picture book writers face and how to meet them.
Kathy Stinson is the author of many successful picture books including the classic Red Is Best and the award-winning The Man with the Violin, as well as novels and works of nonfiction. Her most recent picture book is Harry and Walter.
What happens once that book comes off press and it goes out to market? What happens inside the marketing department of a publishing company? An unvarnished look at the world of marketing children's books from an industry veteran.
Children's author and illustrator Lee Edward Fodi delivers some of his top tips for enriching our world-building, with different methods and tools to help add texture, detail, and intrigue to stories. This workshop is the perfect fit for fantasy writers, but the tools and approaches can be easily applied to other genres.
(Choose 4, 5 or 6)
For Wallace Edwards, creating art is a holistic process. In this seminar, he shares his method for making pictures, from basic concept to finished piece – getting those illustration ideas out of your head and onto the page in a practical way. With examples of the step-by-step creation of paintings in his books, and ways to break out of creative blocks and artistic "sticking points". Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and to bring their work for critique.
Persuading teens to read history is critical. Creating historical fiction that is relevant and readable for a YA audience is challenging. The past can be resurrected for young readers with all the facts they need and all the fiction they crave. Join Jacqueline Guest to discover how to channel our ghosts, bringing historical fiction to life!
Writing successful nonfiction requires plenty of research - and that's even before you begin the project! In this hard-nosed, nuts-and-bolts session, you'll get a step-by-step guide to how to take your idea from "Should I?" to Sold. Learn how to Evaluate and Structure Your Idea, Do an Effective Market Comparison, Create a Clear, Complete Proposal and Craft a Winning Cover Letter. Plus an up-to-the-minute look at the contemporary nonfiction market and how to target and evaluate potential customers, both in Canada and the US.
Helaine Becker is the bestselling author of more than 70 books for children and young adults, including the #1 bestseller, A Porcupine in a Pine Tree. Her nonfiction books are multiple winners of the Silver Birch Award and the Lane Anderson Award for Science Writing for Children. Her two most recent nonfiction titles have been recognized by the Junior Library Guild.
LUNCH 12:00-1:00 (sandwiches provided)
There is a wonderful feeling you get when you finally know that your illustrations are exactly right for your story. Sometimes it's a giddiness that makes you want to dance; other times it's simply a slow exhale. This workshop explores the different steps in discovering what's right for you and the story, and how to get to that feeling with every project you do.
Shane Peacock is the multi-award-winning, best-selling author of The Boy Sherlock Holmes series, The Dark Missions of Edgar Brim trilogy, Seven series novels, as well as books for adults, picture books, magazine articles, television documentaries and plays.

11. Patricia Storms—Storyboarding Picture Books: The Blueprint for Your Great Idea
You've got the most amazing concept for a picture book story. Wonderful! But how do you write and/or visualize your idea? Writing it out on paper is fine, but picture books are visual creatures, and you really need to see how the pace of your story moves as a whole. A picture book is like a mini-movie, and every great movie starts with a great storyboard. Patricia's workshop will help writers and artists in how to best present their picture book concept, from rough thumbnails to clean storyboards.
First drafts are like a first garden. Some bits work. Some need reshaping. All of it needs weeding. This interactive workshop will provide essential tips for revising your first draft into a strong and engaging story. Bring 2 copies of the first page of both your first and last chapters, plus 2 differently coloured highlighters.
Anne Laurel Carter teaches Writing for Children as well as the YA Novel Workshop at University of Toronto. Her novels have twice won the CLA Book of the Year for Children Award, a Jane Adams Honor Award, and provincial award nominations.

MORE ABOUT VIRTUAL PYI: The partnership from 2013 to 2015 between CANSCAIP and Humber College offered the school's in-house live-streaming equipment and technicians to us at a minimal cost well below market rates. When hosted at Humber, Virtual PYI was live-streamed so attendees could participate in real-time, and videotaped as backup. This year Humber discontinued hosting outside events; when CANSCAIP sourced outside expertise and equipment, the quotes for live-streaming technology were just too high. Virtual PYI in online video is a convenient, high-quality, easy to use option that isn't as prone to technical problems. We think you'll like it!

Jerry Crislip
Lisbon – Jerry F. Crislip, 73, of Lisbon, died at 11:32 AM Sunday, October 20, 2013 at his home following a long illness.
Mr. Cris-lip was born May 5, 1940 in Heaters, WV, a son of the late William R. and Beulah (Squires) Crislip. He graduated from Sutton High School in 1958 and came to this area in 1960.
He worked as a welder for Patterson Industries from 1961 to 1975 and served in the Army from 1963 to 1965. He was a welding instructor for East Liverpool High School from 1975 to 1995.
Jerry was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved to work on cars in his younger days. He spent much time competing in trap shoots, was a member of Lisbon Eagles, American Legion in Glenmoor, and VFW Post 4111 in Lisbon.
His family will remember him as an avid fan of Westerns and for inventing things. He could often be found in the garage tinkering or creating metal art. One of his favorite things to do, though, was to have fish fries with his friends.
He leaves his wife Judy A. (Thirion) Crislip whom he married November 1966; his children Julie Crislip of Charlotte, NC, and Jackie (Eli) Shreeve of Lisbon, Jenna (Michael) Boyd of Stow; grandchildren Connor and Madison Shreeve; as well as his brothers Terry (Margie) Crislip of Burnsville, WV, and Larry (Carol) Crislip, of West Union, WV; a step-sister Debra Godfrey of Weston, WV and a brother-in-law, Robert Thirion of Lisbon.
The funeral service officiated by Allan Foster will be at 1:00 PM Thursday at the Weber Funeral Home. Burial will be in Lisbon Cemetery. Family and friends will gather from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 PM Wednesday at the funeral home and one hour prior to the service on Thursday.

Nothing to really like. Extreme bad smell. I hope I did not carry bed bugs. Room was cold and not comfortable. I had to cut my stay short. Bad experience, you've lost one customer!
The staff is always friendly, rooms are clean and the location is great! I didn't like that even though they changed to a nonsmoking hotel, people were smoking in their rooms and the smell was in the hallway.

If you are living in some other country then every time you try to connect with Netflix you get an error message: Netflix is not Available in Your Location. So, it simply means that you are unable to watch Netflix in your country because you are not a resident of those countries where this service is available. What you want to do now? You will skip this service. I think you should never skip it but you need to know how to fix this error.
Cause of Error Message: Netflix is not available in Your Location
Do you want to fix this error in easy manner? If yes, then you first need to know about the main cause of this message. This error message comes to you because you belong to a country that is being blocked by Netflix and because they are offering services to limited countries. They have blocked all IPs of all countries of world except those countries' IPs in which they offer their services. So, you can't get access because your IP is not of Netflix' supported country. You get error message because server of Netflix easily recognizes your location with the mean of your IP address. However, good thing is that you can resolve this issue by getting an IP of Netflix supported country.
How to Change IP Address for watching Netflix?
As I mentioned earlier, the main problem is IP of your country. Your task is to nip the evil in the bud or in another words change your IP that restricts your access to Netflix. You need to get a VPN for changing your IP. VPN stands for virtual private network. When you subscribe for this private network then it brings an IP of UK or US. When you connect your device with vpn then your computer get IP of Netflix supported country. After making a connection with VPN, you are free to get rid from error message: Netflix is not available in Your Location. Actually, when server of Netflix checks your location then it shows UK or US as a location and therefore, it permits your access. You are free to enjoy movies and TV shows of your choice even when you are not living in a Netflix non-supporting country. In this manner, you can fix this error message and watch interesting and informative content of Netflix.
It's time to change your IP address with the mean of VPN if you want to start enjoying Netflix in a non-supporting country.

"We've been duped by the Republicans. Kentucky Sen. and minority leader Mitch McConnell in a news conference one day after the election, stated that the single and sole goal of the GOP over the next two years is: to make Barack Obama a single term president. What an arrogant and obnoxious goal and statement. There agenda before the election was to get votes by promising that there first goals were jobs, the economy and health care reform. It seems their goal is to grab power, not to do things for the people that are in need of jobs and or unemployment pay, health care for those that don't have it, and the people losing their homes. This is the same party that wanted the auto plants and their suppliers to go out of business. We are just coming back from what they did to this country, and now we have them back to do the same things to our country again. What a mess the next two years is going to bring to this country. Talk about partisanship." Carl D. Leow Rogers Cit

Ooh, Benghazi. Someone has to keep the non-scandals alive, might as well be you. Free can keep the IRS non-scandal alive. We'll find a couple more demagogues to keep the others going.
I've seen the benefits already of Obamacare here in the real world. People who were frantic about their children not having insurance because they turned 18 were able to keep them on their policies until 26. And your lack of concern about people with pre-existing conditions who couldn't even get insurance is noted.
Good article in the NY Times about how rates on individual policies is going to drop in NY because of Obamacare. Since Orly Taitz didn't write it, no sense in giving you a link.

"Rep. Frank Wolf says trusted sources have informed his office that the Benghazi survivors have been asked or directed to sign non-disclosure forms to keep them from discussing what happened during the Benghazi attack. If so this is outrageous and is simply more proof that this administration has much to hide regarding Benghazi."

Let me take one of Obama's healthcare lies and tweak it to make it true:
If you like your insurance you can s-u-c-k it.

Conservatives are concerned with every community. Your initial assumption that we are all racists is incorrect, regardless of how often it is repeated by you and your stupid side, which pretends to be for them while making things consistently worse for them. Black people are democrats to their own detriment.
Conservatives believe that blacks and browns can do everything whites can do. They don't automatically assume they are both ignorant and helpless. That's what your side does.
So which side are the real racists? Your side of course, just like they've always been. What they hear from your side about my side is simply lie after lie.
Have you come up with a single true thing Obama said about his healthcare trainwreck yet? Are you on board with Hoffa wanting that law dumped or dramatically changed? Yep, it's a fool who trusts a democrat. Unions are comprised of many fools and democrats. The words are interchangeable.

The first vote was 3-3. Fact.
My source was the Washington Post for the restraining order, not Orly Taitz.
Once again I ask why the sudden concern expressed by RS for the black community? He has an ulterior motive, as per usual. But what is it? It will not come directly from him, because RS never, ever, is straight up. Eventually the reason will come out, and RS will deny saying it after he says it.

Remember the prosecution's final closing arguments, their second time up? He wanted the women to choose a verdict based on how they felt in their hearts. He wanted them to make the decision just like they make many decisions in their every day lives.
In other words, he inferred that falling back on ye olde "eenie meenie miney mo" might just be the best chance of getting a verdict to their liking. They would've preferred rock, paper scissors as well over a verdict based on the facts, and the law as it applies to those facts.
Facts, that rhymes with Jax. The similarity ends there.

That's true Amos, the right is now hailing Jimmy Carter for supporting the Zimmerman jury. Who would have thought? But while you're at it can you think of a situation where RS was ever right? None come to mind.
Posted 1197 days ago.
RS is so fond of mentioning Trayvon's past, never mentions Zimmerman's:
"In July 2005, he was arrested for "resisting officer with violence." The neighborhood watch volunteer who wanted to be a cop got into a scuffle with cops who were questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking. The charges were reduced and then waived after he entered an alcohol education program. Then in August 2005, Zimmerman's former fiance sought a restraining order against him because of domestic violence. Zimmerman sought a restraining order against her in return. Both were granted."
Violence against cops, violence against his fiancé, violence against Martin. He'll be dead or in prison within 5 years, it is the fate of violent people.

Thanks for the boxing lessons. Don't need 'em though. Already proficient. I also have several guns. Long ones, short ones. B;lack ones, brown ones, silver ones. Loaded too. There's a word for it. I believe it's "arsenal". Yeah that's it.
If the hoodlum wanted to fight in a specific weight class, perhaps he should have had a human conversation with George and arranged a match rather than trying to kill him on the spot at night in his own hood without warning. He made an idiot's decision. That's what idiots do. You and Normillstone should know that.

The usual race-baiters want to convict him too...still. Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, Obama. Race-baiting is their entire lives in nutshells. Why nutshells? Because that's where nuts live.
They are ignoring the law just as the OJ Simpson jury ignored both the law and the evidence. Just as 98% of blacks voted for Obama...twice.
Here's how you classify all of the above: STUPID RACISTS. It's what actual racism looks like Jaxofnotrades.
Did you get that Jaxandthebeanstalk? I used NormCaps and everything. 29 year olds are usually grown men, and do shoot people who are trying to kill them. So would I. I would've shot him twice. Once in the heart and once in the forehead. If he had a fivehead I'd have shot him there too.
Trayvon (so sick of that name) made an idiot's decision. He was very experienced at that. He made idiot decisions with repetition throughout his short life. Idiot decisions will kill a guy. Good thing they killed him rather than him killing someone else.

Trayvon was taller than Zimmerman. That's why boxing federations go by height, not weight, because weight means nothing. See, when you look at boxing they have all these height classifications. Really short, short, medium, kind of tall, tall. At least in my experience that's how boxers are classified. They should go to a more logical system such as weight, in my opinion.
Zimmerman was 30 pounds heavier with MMA training. We'll just ignore that.

He was innocent of 2nd degree murder. At the time I said that manslaughter was not on the table. The initial vote of the jury was 3-3 to convict include one of the 3 being for 2nd degree murder, so it wasn't just me. And they listened to a lot more testimony than you Free. I think if the judge had helped them more with a clarification of manslaughter they would have found him guilty. And I have not heard one legal analyst say the prosecution did anywhere close to a competent job.
But RS and Free's concern about the number of blacks being murdered is really quite touching. If we didn't know better one would think they actually cared.
And I'm sorry, barely 17 is not a man. Can't vote, can't buy alcohol, can't sign contracts. 29 is a man who should have acted like one.

As the three divisions intertwine for the first All-Leage Festival of the year, Ridge found itself on top. After edging out Sparta and Mountain Lakes, Ridge finally broke through, thanks to big-time performances from Alyssa Thompson and Alexa Hughes.
Immaculate Heart was without its top three skiers and it showed, as it failed to taste victory for the first time this season. Do not expect to see Immaculate Heart out of first place for long, as it is one of the more talented teams in the state.
The key match-up of the day, was between two of the best racers in the state, Brooke Kowalski and Lindsey Sumpman. Kowlaski beat out Sumpman by just over one second to continue her winning streak. Thompson and Kerriann Mellucci, who are common opponents, finished with the third and fourth best times. Mellucci has not been able to leap Thompson, but has maintained a top six time in every race.

LANCASTER, N.Y. -- Four people have been hurt on a Western New York athletic field after the portable football goal post they were moving touched a power line.
The names, ages and conditions of those injured behind Lancaster High School Monday afternoon haven't been released.
A spokeswoman for the suburban Buffalo district, Patricia Burgio, says the field was being used by an outside group for a football camp.
The injured were taken to two Buffalo hospitals.

MARSHALL - Starting 0-2 in the Southwest Conference wasn't what the Marshall baseball team had anticipated. But after losses to Pipestone and Worthington, the Tigers remained winless in the SWC with Windom coming to Legion Field on Thursday for a doubleheader.
Fortunately for Marshall, the bats got hot early in both games, and the Tigers were able to put a pair of wins in their conference record with a 12-9 Game 1 victory, and a 10-3 decision in Game 2.
"It boosts everyone's mood," Marshall center fielder Alex Fenske said of Thursday's sweep. "We were all down after (the Worthington loss on Tuesday) and this helps a lot."

Marshall's Matt Campion, left, pounds fists with teammate Aaron Mathiowetz after crossing home plate for a run in the first inning of Game 1 in the Tigers' Southwest Conference doubleheader with Windom Thursday at Legion Field.
Game 1 got off to an auspicious start for Tigers starting pitcher Mason Schnaible. Five days after Schnaible nearly threw a no-hitter, Drake Borsgard knocked Schnaible's first pitch to the outfield, starting a string of three straight singles. Borsgard crossed the plate for the game's first run for an early 1-0 lead.
Things didn't look much better on offense when Marshall's first two batters were out in the bottom of the first. But starting with a single by Matt Campion, the Tigers got five straight players on base, with two-run singles by Aaron Mathiowetz and Colten Peterson.
"One through nine, I don't think you can say, 'Oh, there's their number eight or number nine, let's throw it down the middle,'" said Marshall head coach Steve Fleck. "I think one through nine, if you throw it down the middle, they're going to hammer it."

The Tigers (2-2 SWC, 5-2 overall) boost the lead to 7-1 with a three-run outing in the second as Ben Geary, Austin Saugstad and Schnaible crossed home.
The Eagles were able to build some momentum in the third with a pair of runs. With bases loaded and two outs, Jake Johnson drilled a single up the middle to bring in a run. Picking up the ball, Fenske, an all-state honorable mention quarterback, showed off his arm by throwing out Travis Janssen at home plate to end the Windom threat.
"That's what we practice every day," Fenske said of the throw. "Colton (Peterson) made a good tag at home. It felt very good coming off my hand."
Marshall took a 10-3 lead into the sixth inning before the Eagles put a scare into the Tigers. Windom (0-4, 2-5) scored a trio of runs in the top of the sixth and two runs in the seventh with two outs to go. After Tim Larson popped out to right field, the Eagles had the bases loaded after a walk by Janssen. Trying to finish off Game 1, Marshall's Riley Carpenter coaxed Collin Lovell into a groundout to escape with the victory.
This season, the Tigers have struggled to put teams away, so heading into Game 2, Fleck admitted he was a little worried about the night cap. But his offense quickly alleviated the head coach's concerns.
Scoreless after the first inning, Marshall put up six runs in the top of the second, putting 11 batters in the box for five hits. With Peterson on first and with two outs, Austin Saugstad drew a walk before Schnaible delivered an RBI single. Leo Zerr followed up with a two-run double, and Matt Campion hit an opposite-field single for another run.
Fenske capped off the hit parade with an RBI double.
"We came out in that second game and we had a lot of ambition, scored a lot of runs and did our thing," said Carpenter, who was 1-for-3 with a run scored in Game 2.
The offensive boost also raised Carpenter's game on the mound. After a rough outing against Pipestone last week, the Tigers senior found a groove in Game 2, holding the Eagles to four hits.
"Our defense played great. That's all you can ask for as a pitcher," said Carpenter, who had seven strikeouts in the victory. "Coming back and getting the two wins against Windom, it felt good."
Fleck added, "I was more pleased with how (Carpenter) responded by going after hitters. ... When your team puts up eight runs and he goes out and get three outs right after, that helps you out."
Starting with a non-conference doubleheader against Sioux Falls O'Gorman on Tuesday, Marshall begins a stretch of six games in seven days. Next Thursday, the Tigers host Redwood Valley before heading to Alexandria for a pair of games on May 5.

FLINT, Michigan — Last week, construction crews quietly broke ground on what is poised to become the biggest construction project in the city in at least a decade.
There were no red ribbons. No gold-plated shovels.
"We didn't do a groundbreaking ceremony, but we're excited for a building dedication ceremony," said Ridgway White of Flint development team Lurvey White Ventures, which this summer bought the Michigan School for the Deaf's Miller Road campus from the state for $1.3 million.
Plans call for $36 million to be spent at the 80-acre property for a new MSD building and to renovate 97-year-old Fay Hall as the new home for Powers Catholic High School.
Under original plans, work on both schools was to start in June, but that was delayed by rounds of government approvals, including clearing tax incentives.
Work on the Powers portion of the project still is delayed, White said.
He would not give specifics on the reason for the delay but said it had to do with logistics.
"The primary cause for delay on the Powers (portion of the project) is really on our side as the developers," White said. "It was really hard for us to give concrete timelines."
Powers Principal Tom Furnas said he expects to make an announcement this fall regarding timelines for the Powers project.
"We're happy for the MSD community," he said. "We hope to join them in their success on that campus."
Furnas said he is excited to see work under way at the campus.
"It tells us things are going in the right direction," he said.
Crews are tearing down the Stewart Gym and Orchard Cottage, both of which have been unused for more than 30 years, White said.
A longtime neighbor of the property said she'll be happy to see the improvements and new construction. Fay Hall needs to be renovated, and the former gym was a haven for homeless people, said Sarah Valdez, 78, who has lived on nearby South Drive for 31 years.
"I'm pretty sure that everybody on South Drive is happy about it, because we're talking about it," Valdez said of the project.
Along with the new building for MSD, overall plans include new athletic facilities to be shared by the schools and a 75,000-square-foot addition to Fay Hall for a gym, theater and media center.

High sun and clear skies maybe an invitation to get out and have some fun but heat exhaustion or stroke could quickly turn summertime fun to summertime disaster.
Something as simple as drinking enough water and seeking shade can help ward off debilitating heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Staying indoors during the hottest time of the day can thwart heat related illnesses, but be aware it can also give you a false sense of security.
Few people in the Pacific Northwest have invested in air conditioning. Most residents rely on fans to keep cool. Keep in mind that houses and apartments can hold the outside temperatures until sundown or beyond, sometimes resulting in extra hours of 80 degree-plus heat. Fans will help, but alone they do not cool a home enough when heat is in the extremes.
As a general rule; wear lightweight, loose fitting clothing, drink plenty of water– more than usual—and do not wait until you are thirsty. If you must be outdoors, wear a brimmed hat and sunscreen.
Muscle cramps are often the first sign of heat-related illness and may indicate heat exhaustion or stroke. Here is a quick reference from the CDC.
|Heat Exhaustion
|What You Should Do:
Heat Stroke
What You Should Do:
Some members of the population need special care during excessive heat.
If you or someone you know has a chronic medical condition, you or they may be less aware of temperature changes and less able to make changes when needed to cool down. Some medications can worsen the effects of extreme heat. Check medication information inserts for heat and sun related warnings. If you have questions, call any pharmacy.
People with medical conditions or on medications that reduce heat resistance should take extra precautions. Closely monitor water intake, make sure to drink more water than usual—don't wait until you are thirsty. Wear lightweight, loose fitting clothing and avoid cooking indoors. To aid in cooling down take a cool, not overly cold, shower or bath.
Those who do not have access to air conditioners can seek out cooling stations such as the East County Senior Center.
Marc Anvi, ECSC director, reported that the senior center will stay open until 9 p.m. on days with excessive heat to provide a cool space for anyone who needs it. Check with ECSC and other places in town before there is a need.
Have a plan in advance and if anything looks out of the ordinary, take action.
Infants and young children are especially sensitive to extreme heat as they must rely on others to keep them cool and hydrated. Dress your child in lightweight and loose fitting clothing and be sure they drink plenty of water.
NEVER leave infants or children in a parked car, even if the windows are open. Never leave pets in a parked car, as they can suffer immediate heat-related illnesses.
Outdoor workers are also more likely to experience dehydration and are easily subjected to heat-related illnesses.
While working outdoors, drink two to four cups of water every hour. Wear a wide brimmed hat and loose fitting light weight clothing, use sunscreen and reapply it frequently. Spend break times in air-conditioned areas, and do not drink alcohol or sugary drinks.
When possible, schedule outdoor work at cooler times of the day or reschedule to a time when heat warnings are not in effect. After work seek out an air conditioned space to cool down.
If you feel faint or weak, immediately stop what you are doing and cool down.
Those who are 65 years or older may be less able to sense changes in temperature and take necessary action. Be especially aware of muscle cramps, headaches, nausea or vomiting. Follow the guidelines set forth above; wear loose fitting, lightweight clothing and drink plenty of water.
If you exercise in extreme heat you will be more likely to become dehydrated, so limit your outdoor activities to cooler times of day, use sunscreen and reapply it frequently. Monitor your regimen, begin slowly, then gradually get up to speed. Drink plenty of water, take breaks and be aware of muscle cramps, as they are often the first sign of trouble.
"Excessive heat has caused more deaths than all other weather events, including floods," according to the CDC. "A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessive heat, generally 10 degrees or more above average, often combined with excessive humidity."
Keep an eye on weather forecasts if you hear the terms:
• Excessive Heat Watch – Conditions are favorable for an excessive heat event to meet or exceed local Excessive Heat Warning criteria in the next 24 to 72 hours.
• Excessive Heat Warning – Heat Index values are forecasting to meet or exceed locally defined warning criteria for at least two days (daytime highs=105-110° Fahrenheit).
• Heat Advisory – Heat Index values are forecasting to meet locally defined advisory criteria for one to two days (daytime highs=100-105° Fahrenheit). If in doubt take action — a few minutes can make the difference between having a great summertime or one you would rather forget.

JACKSON—Last May we at the Citizen Patriot were joined by a young puppy.
Unlike most puppies, however, he wasn't cute and he yapped a lot—all of us wanted to hit him with a rolled up newspaper from time to time.
The puppy was an intern named Justin Dacey. All grown up, the puppy left us a month ago to become a sports reporter at our MLive sister publication, the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Last week the puppy became the Big Dog of the block by becoming the only person to go a perfect 10-for-10 on his predictions in Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
Of the 44 who made picks last week, Dacey was one of 16 who Got Rich, after I went 7-for-10. Seven more people equaled my total and 21 Died Tryin'.
Concord High School athletic director Matt Lehman finished second with nine correct picks.
Those who had eight correct predictions: Dylan Zaborowski, Brian Rahn, Tavian Gaddy, Andrew Wilcox, Kirk Wright, Bob Manis, Chris Johnston, Eric Hammis, Kory Iott, Butch Barger, Jake Sisk, Gary French, Ashley Bearden, Thomas Kellogg.
While I offer congratulations to all who bested me, I can't help but feel a little pride in seeing how far our little puppy Justin Dacey has come in such a short time. But if he beats me again this week I'll do what I should have done a long time ago: have him neutered.

The government has relaunched a £1bn competition that aims to develop the process of capturing carbon dioxide from power stations and storing it for future use.
The idea of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has been expanded to include gas as well as coal, Energy Minister Charles Hendry has said.
Mr Hendry said £1bn would be offered to fund CCS projects, after earlier plans for the UK's first coal-fired power plant with such technology were abandoned.
ScottishPower's plant at Longannet, Fife, had been the only remaining site in the government competition unveiled last year for funding worth up to £1bn to develop the technology, which is hoped to cut up to 90 per cent of carbon emissions from coal power.
But former energy and climate change secretary Chris Huhne said last October that it had not been possible to reach a satisfactory deal on the scheme and as a result "we will not be proceeding with the project".
The idea of CCS has been proven on smaller sites where carbon has been taken from power stations and stored underground, in areas such as exhausted oil fields.
Speaking this morning on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Hendry said: "What we've done this time is we've framed the competition very much taking account of what industry wants to do and so it's much broader.
"We're looking at gas as well as coal, we're looking at a range of different technologies, we're looking at investment in the core infrastructure. There's a whole range of different elements which can be fitted into this competition and industry is very excited about it."
He added: "There is huge interest. We had an industry day just a few weeks ago and nearly 200 companies from around the world came here to understand how we're looking at doing this.
"£1bn is more than any government anywhere has allocated to a single project and so we're making it very clear that this is a real world leadership moment for us."
Mr Hendry said there was a wish to move the technology from a "pilot scheme to an industry".
He said: "It could be an absolute global game changer, we think this could be 100,000 jobs to the UK in the 2020s. We think this is an industry where we can reasonably hope to lead the world because we've got some of the best skills which are available, we've got some of the best storage sites which are available."
Companies have until July to submit a bid, before a decision on which projects will go ahead is expected in the autumn. Schemes will have to be operational by between 2016 and 2020.

Take one of his courses solo or bring your partner, it's a tutorial and three-course dinner party that's sure to drum up plenty of conversation.
What to Expect: In about three-and-a-half hours, students will learn how to prepare a three-course meal using known aphrodisiac ingredients such as strawberries, chickpeas and beets, and then get to sit down with their fellow classmates and eat it. No, you won't be instantly sexed up and ready to rumble, but you will learn enough to make your own seductive meal at home. "Students learn a lot of dirty little secrets of chefs, and they experience the courage to bring their creative cooking up a notch," says Federer. "They get an insight in a chef's mind and learn easy techniques to master their flavors beyond the limits of a written recipe." Plus, the chef explains why certain ingredients work as an aphrodisiac, all the while driving in the concept that it's all about how you cook the meal and serve it to your darling that really makes it work as a love potion, not so much spiking it with pistachios and chocolate.
Price: $120 per person
When: The next available session is a special gluten-free class on June 19 at 7pm, and a regular class on June 20 at 7pm. Check the website cheffedny.com for other dates.
Where: A private SoHo loft, details given after you register online.
What to Bring: Each class is BYOB, so pick up a bottle of wine or bring some beer if you want to drink something other than water, otherwise, everything is included.

LOUISVILLE, KY. - Churchill Downs officials say their test of night racing this summer has been a great success after large crowds packed the track for the final evening.
Track officials said a crowd of 33,481 showed up Thursday night, the biggest crowd outside of the Kentucky Derby, Oaks and Breeders' Cup.
Churchill general manager Jim Gates told The Courier-Journal that the city clearly loves the experiment held over three nights this month.
Because of the high turnout, Churchill is asking spectators and fans to vote on whether to make it a permanent fixture.

BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:iCalendar-Ruby VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:
Phoenix Art Museum will premier a new series of paintings by the New York artist Kehinde Wiley (American\, b. 1976). Wiley gained criti cal acclaim for his heroic portraits addressing image and status of young m en of color within a framework that re-envisions classical styles of portra iture and empowers his sitters. His latest series continues this interest w ith eight paintings based on the work of Hans Memling (1430-1494)—the Flemi sh master painter of the Northern Renaissance. At a time when portraiture f ocused primarily on royalty and leaders of the church\, Memling created rea listic portraits of ordinary individuals set against realistic backgrounds such as verdant landscapes\, windowsills or columned spaces. Wiley's painti ngs reinterpret Memling's works\, replacing the austere 15th century figure s with the engaging\, bold subjects of young black men in street clothes. W iley's Memling series represents a serious departure in style and scale fro m his previous work. They are painted on wood panel – a first in Wiley's ca reer. The new works is also much smaller: measuring between 11 x 15 inches and 15 x 20 inches. This represents a marked contrast to Wiley's previous w ork\, which utilized grand scale and perspective to create a sense of power and heroism but these small and intimate portraits are equally bold and po werful\, commanding a closer viewing.DTEND:20130623 DTSTAMP:20161024T022811 DTSTART:20130220 GEO:33.466978;-112.072569 LOCATION:Phoenix Art Museum\,1625 N.

The New York Times has an intriguing story about the sourcing for a report that did the rounds last week saying that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) rushed Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar to Karachi last week after he suffered a heart attack. (h/t Five Rupees)
Pakistan: Now or Never?
Pakistan's arrest of Mullah Baradar: tactics or strategy?
The arrest of Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in Karachi leaves big unanswered questions about why Pakistan chose to act now against a man credited with giving operational coherence to Afghan Taliban (or Quetta Shura Taliban) operations in Afghanistan.

When Lauren Rae Sullivan, a senior at the University of Cincinnati, arrived in New Orleans in March for an internship, she was excited by the opportunities for bicycling the city's small urban footprint and densely packed streets.
But bike-riding in New Orleans was not as simple as she had hoped, she said.
"I was a little overwhelmed by the poor pavement quality," Sullivan said. "And some of the roads that were well-paved, like Claiborne, you don't always want to bike on it."
Seeing a need that she could fill through her senior project, the 23-year-old urban planning major set about creating a bike map to track the safest, smoothest and most efficient routes around town. Such maps already exist in bike-friendly towns such as Portland, Ore., and Seattle, and can help encourage would-be cyclists to adopt the carbon-free, healthy mode of transportation, Sullivan said.
Every week since June, Sullivan and her partners with the Nola Cycle mapping project have organized weekend meet-ups to canvass New Orleans neighborhoods and, ultimately, gather data from every street on the east bank south of Interstate 610. Every participant gets a clipboard with a color-coded key to record data on every street in each assigned tract; it includes information such as road quality, road width and the travel speed of the cars.
"They fill it out block by block and give it back to us, and we compile all the pieces," Sullivan said.
So far, canvassers have gathered data for every part of the city except Hollygrove, Parkview and parts of Central City, the 9th Ward and the 7th Ward, she said. Sullivan hopes to finish collecting data by January and complete the map and accompanying report by spring. The map will be available online for download and, if the project receives enough funding, in print, she said.
In the meantime, though, Sullivan said some of the raw data is encouraging. Though "very few thoroughfares are a straight shot" to ride along safely, with the exceptions of St. Charles and St. Claude avenues, more streets than she expected are actually in fine condition, Sullivan said. The difficulty -- and the need for the bike map -- lies in the inconsistency, she said.
"What was surprising for us was that there were certain neighborhoods that were pretty nice, roads running parallel to the main thoroughfares that were only in good shape for a mile or two but then were a mess," Sullivan said.
With that information, the bike map also could be used as a tool to lobby for money for municipal bike-path projects, she said.
"What we're hoping to do once this is done is to point out to some of the decision makers in the city that, 'Hey, you almost have this continuous flow of road, but you have a few rough patches that need to be repaired,' " she said.
With Sullivan back in Cincinnati until January, Dan Jatres recently has been leading the mapping meetings. He agrees that the bike map could become the tipping point in convincing people to leave their cars and start pedaling.
"I think New Orleans has a lot of untapped potential" for cycling, said Jatres, who also works for the Regional Planning Commission's Pedestrian and Bicycle Program. "We have a lot of natural advantages to bicycling: the flat terrain, the tight-packed grid, the tropical climate.
"Those three factors combined create a pretty good natural environment for bicycling. So we need to address some of the built environment issues that discourage people from pedaling."

The plan would link N.E. Going Street, N.E. Klickitat Street, and a greenways project called the 50s project. It would run from N.E. Alberta Street south down 77th Avenue to Sacramento and west to Sandy Boulevard.
Some of the most noticeable changes would be traffic calming devices such as speed bumps, pedestrian islands at key intersections such as Sacramento and 57th, curb extensions at others, such as Sacramento and Brazee, and new striping for more clearly marked crosswalks at others, such as 77th and Fremont.
Seventeen speed bumps are planned for 77th Avenue alone. Some of the existing speed bumps on Sacramento will be removed and new ones added.
"Speed bumps are all about spacing," said PBOT project manager Kyle Chisek. "For a 20 mph speed limit, bumps should be about 350 feet apart along the corridor. If we didn't essentially move the bumps, we'd have a section of Sacramento where the speed limit would be 20 mph but the bumps would force people to go slower than that. People would notice and we'd definitely hear about it."
Some neighbors saw the plans at an open house recently, and Chisek discussed the details during a land-use committee meeting of the Central Northeast Neighbors coalition.
The next step is for designers and traffic engineers to tweak the plans with public input in mind, then come back with more details at a second public meeting.

Prabhu Deva's divorce verdict on July 7
By: Ramchander
Reports say that Prabhu Deva and Ramalatha, who were supposed to attend the hearing on June 30, did not turn up to the court but they made it after two days. While the court adjourned the case till July 10, the Villu director submitted a letter to grant him divorce before July 7, as he will be going abroad.
It is said that the court might announce their separation on the couple's requested date. Reports add that the estranged couple looked happy while coming out of the court.
Meanwhile, Prabhu Deva and Nayantara are reportedly planning to settle down with marriage bliss. They are planning to announce their wedding soon after the divorce verdict.

Some St. John the Baptist Parish public schools failed to follow the school system's rules for managing their activity accounts, according to a new state audit. Its findings were based on whether school-based managers complied with seven procedures aimed at keeping track of money collected and spent at individual schools.
The audit found covers transactions for 2013. Of the St. John's 12 schools, five were cited for disbursing checks without two authorized signatures or proper documentation for the expense, or for failing to make deposits in a timely manner.
For example, at Garyville-Mount Airy Math and Science Magnet, auditors say, $5,000 in checks were written last year without any supporting documentation, such as an invoice, and more than $8,000 in checks were not signed properly.
At West St. John Elementary, auditors found 10 checks with no documentation. The amounts ranged from $56 to $6,020.
At West St. John High, auditors noted a $224 discrepancy between the amount recorded on a bank deposit slip and the amount shown on the bank statement. According to the audit, the deposit slip totalled $13,733.25 but the bank statement showed $13,509.25 was deposited. "The school was unable to provide documents from the athletic event that would have supported the bank's correction of the deposit slip," the audit states.
The audit was conducted by the Metairie accounting firm of Carr, Riggs & Ingram LLC. Its report said the audit was intended only to determine whether the school system's policies were being followed, and the firm didn't render an opinion on the accounting records.
A school system official said Thursday that the problems have been addressed. And in a response included in the audit, St. John officials say they will provide additional training to school personnel and that the audit report would be reviewed with each principal.

Resonant flourescence is the dominate process behind the observed molecular emission lines in comets. Line intensities within a molecular band can vary greatly due to both the properties of the solar radiation which pumps the flourescence process and physical properties of the gas. Doppler displacement of cometary lines relative to the solar Fraunhofer features due to the comet's velocity relative to the sun results in a variation in intensity of the comet lines known as the Swings effect. Further variations in molecular line intensities are induced by bulk motions of the gas within the cometary coma (known as the Greenstein effect), by collisions which can thermalize the populations of the various rotational levels, and non-equilibrium processes such as creation of the observed ``daughter'' molecules in high rotational levels due to excess energy available during the dissociation of the parent molecule. Each of these additional effects depend on the location within the coma, along with various physical properties of the comet, such as outgassing rates, ionization rates, and the presence of jets. As a result, detailed fluorescence modeling of observed spectra can reveal a great deal about physical properties of the coma.
Echelle spectra of C/Hyakutake (1996 B2) were obtained at the Kitt Peak 4-m Mayall Telescope on March 16, 1996, the night of it's very close (0.11 AU) approach to Earth. Spectra were taken on nucleus and at three offset positions, giving a unique look at the coma at both high spatial and spectral resolutions. The slit size of 0.87'' \times 0.74'' corresponds to 68 \times 580 km at the comet. The slit integrated spectra have previously appeared in Meier et al. (1998, Icarus 136, 268-279). In the current examination of these data we have modeled the flourescence and collisional quenching of the column integrated OH band at each of the four slit locations (on-nucleus, 2'', 7'' and 10'' offsets). Best fit models reveal that the observed OH has a velocity of approximately 1 km/s and is 65 to 75% quenched. This is consistent with the outflow velocity determined by Combi et al. (1999, ApJ 512,961-968) from CN, C2, NH2 and O(1D) spectra. We are currently doing flourescence modeling of the NH and CN bands, and any new results on these molecules will be presented.
