SPRINGFIELD - Most of the environmentally friendly and recycled building materials that will go into Baystate Health's $259 million "hospital of the future" expansion weren't even on the market when architects started talking about the project five years ago.
"We are looking at products now that are not yet commercially available. But we'd like to use them when the time comes," said Kurt A. Rockstroh, president and CEO of Steffian Bradley Architects.
Rockstroh outlined the "green" aspects of the project Monday for an audience of reporters and Baystate Medical Center staff. Baystate hosted Hospital of the Future Day Monday as an open house where staff members could ask questions and make suggestions.
Workers will start demolishing the Porter-Harris Building at Baystate's campus in September. Rockstroh said about 90 percent of the building will be recycled, but not all those materials will be used on this project. Only the asbestos will be discarded.
Construction on the new building will begin in 2009 and last until 2012. Plans call for a seven-story addition to the existing Baystate Medical Center, including an increase of 48 beds and replacement of 78 existing adult medical surgical beds. The 48 new beds will include 18 adult medical surgical and 30 adult critical care beds. The hospital will also build 295,800 square feet of unfinished space that could one day have 158 hospital beds.
Rockstroh said his firm has designed the new building with plenty of windows and light wells to bring natural sunshine into the building interior. He also plans to have natural ventilation available in the public spaces. Fixtures and equipment will be high-efficiency and controlled in each room.
Baystate displayed samples of flooring and wallboard made from recycled material. People felt swatches of cloth made of recycled waste that will be used in the upholstery.
What will look like slate shingles on the building's roof will actually be recycled tires, he said.
" I defy you to tell the difference from even 10 feet away," Rockstroh said.
Another part of the roof will be a literally green roof planted with gardens and accessible to patients. The roof garden saves on heating and cooling and lasts longer than a traditional roof, he said.
But the rooftop garden adds as much weight as an additional floor, he said. Overall, green building can add up to 4 percent to the cost of a hospital, Rockstroh said.
But green materials often save money over the long run through lower operating costs, he said.
Emma V. Welch of Longmeadow is a senior at the University of Massachusetts who has created her own major in sustainability. She came to the presentation with her father Joseph T. Welch, a rehabilitation specialist at Baystate.
"I'm impressed that a major institution would put this much effort into being sustainable," she said. "It's not just young people and college students who are thinking about this."
James W. Ramirez is a Baystate technician who works with sophisticated robotic surgical equipment. He came to the presentation to see what his new work space will look like and try and get an idea of the new equipment will be installed.

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman's exchange with CNN host Chris Cuomo turned confrontational Tuesday when Rodman, who is in North Korea for an exhibition basketball game, took offense to questions about what he was doing honoring one of the most repressive governments in the world.
Check out the video here.
He was asked if he was going to talk to Kim Jong Un about Kenneth Bae, an American has been held in North Korea for more than a year on unspecified charges.
That's when Rodman appeared to get angry.
But he isn't the only one who is angry.
Bae's sister, Terri Chung, told Anderson Cooper 360 that Rodman's comments were shocking and outrageous.
"He was in a position to do some good and to help advocate for Kenneth," she said. "He refused to do so. But then instead he has chosen to hurl these outrageous accusations against Kenneth. He clearly doesn't know anything about Kenneth, about his case. And so we were appalled by that."

As a member of the Salem County Cultural & Heritage Commission and a resident of Salem County I'd like to extend apologies on behalf of the Commission and residents of Salem County to Dr. James Turk for the recent treatment that he was afforded by the Administration Committee of the Salem County Freeholder Board.
While we may not be able to agree on whether or not tourism (a $38 billion annual industry in New Jersey) is a viable economic development tool, it seems to me that we should be able to agree that there are certain standards of behavior that we would like have extended to us and that we should extend to others.
What we do know is that tourism expenditures in Salem County increased by over 13 percent in 2011 as reported at the Annual Governor's Conference on Tourism. The report "The Strengthening of Tourism in New Jersey" (2011 Market Performance & Economic Impact) shows on Page 20 that the increase in tourism expenditures in Salem County as a percentage topped all other counties in New Jersey. In addition this is the fifth straight year that tourism expenditures have increased in the county (and that in the midst of a painful recession).
I believe that much of that increase is a direct result of the efforts of Dr. Turk and the Cultural & Heritage Commission. Certainly in light of that success it is difficult to understand why the freeholders would choose to cut funding in the tourism arena at a time when our efforts are showing such positive, measurable results for Salem County.
On a final note, thank you Dr. Turk for the job that you have done and I am sorry for the way that you were treated. The people of Salem County are better than that!

It was already a head-scratcher that obscure faith-based historical drama "Alone Yet Not Alone" scored an Oscar nomination for best original song, let alone any nomination at all.
So it's honestly not that big of a surprise that the Academy has since rescinded that nomination. It's like it never even happened now.
The Hollywood Reporter posted Wednesday evening that the film earned its disqualification after an Academy investigation concluded "Alone Yet Not Alone" songwriter Bruce Broughton emailed nearly 240 members to make them aware of the song's submission during the nomination period. And that's a no-no.
Apparently, Broughton's actions were "inconsistent with the Academy's promotional regulations," according to the report.
What stinks is that the Academy will not announce a replacement nominee. The remaining nominees include "Happy" (from "Despicable Me 2"), "Let It Go" (from "Frozen"), "The Moon Song" (from "Her") and "Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom."
Oscar nomination disqualifications are rare, but it's happened a handful of times. Only one Oscar-winner has been retroactively disqualified.
Read the full Hollywood Reporter story. Listen to the now-banned "Alone Yet Not Alone" song below (and listen to all four Oscar-nominated songs):

A chemical engineering professor at Columbia University is using an unusual method – crowd-funding – to underwrite the cost of experiments aimed at finding a more natural and safer way of dispersing oil from spills, like the one caused by the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010.
Associate Professor Faye McNeill and her undergraduate students are studying whether a pair of naturally occurring soap-like compounds can take the place of more toxic chemicals now used in dispersants.
"The way these things work is like the way soap breaks down oil into smaller droplets that then wash away," said McNeill. The tiny droplets also are more likely to be eaten by equally tiny microorganisms in water.
"Many of the chemicals we're studying are already existing in bodies of water," she said. "We're looking into the possibility of using these chemicals because they're cheap and plentiful, as a less toxic and lest costly way of responding to oil spills."
The two substances being studied are humic acid and fulvic acid, which are surfactants – soap-like chemicals that break up the oily bonds of petrochemical compounds. They'll be combined with a less-toxic solvent than those now contained in dispersants like the ones used after the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout, she said.
Her undergraduate students already have collected preliminary data on the two chemicals, but need money for additional research needed to produce experimental results necessary to publish a peer-reviewed scientific paper, McNeill said.
The students are hoping to raise $9,000 to pay for the project, but only have raised $1,092 as of Monday morning. They have only five days left in the time-limited, crowd-funding program, according to the project's web page on experiment.com.
The money will be used for samples and consumable materials; for a camera, computer and software; and for stipends for student interns during a 12-week summer research program.
The fundraising effort is tiny, compared to ongoing research into dispersant alternatives. That work includes research funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative, which is underwritten by a $500 million grant provided by BP after the Gulf spill and research by the National Science Foundation as part of that organization's ongoing programs. Additional dispersant research may be funded by the National Academy of Science's new 30-year Gulf Research Program, which is being paid for with fine money from BP and Transocean as part of criminal guilty pleas by the two companies.

Beware a woman scorned, the old saying goes.
We add: Especially if she has a laptop.
Dana Thorton turned Facebook into Defacebook, and now she's going to find out if she has any friends in a Morris County jury. A Superior Court judge has ruled she must stand trial for identity theft.
Prosecutors say Thorton smeared her ex-boyfriend, a narcotics detective in Parsippany, by creating a Facebook page in his name and, while impersonating the detective, posted admissions that he used drugs, hired prostitutes and contracted herpes. She has pleaded not guilty and faces 18 months in jail.
If prosecutors are right, Thornton apparently was looking for an internet loophole. Rather than post negative comments about her ex and risk a civil lawsuit if they were traced to her, she posted derogatory remarks under his name. And that, prosecutors said, also was a no-no.
The law never will be in step with technological advances. The iPad — or iSmear — world is moving too quickly. Still, lawmakers and courts must decide how America will deal with the anonymity the internet provides, particularly to people with bad intentions.
Certain internet practices, while offensive to some, are accepted as part of our civil liberties. We can call the president an "idiot," and we probably could lampoon him with a Barack Obama Facebook page that included satirical, self-effacing comments. It's unlikely the FBI would come calling.
But the targeting of regular citizens should be treated differently. We all own our names, and anyone who tries to damage them should be held accountable, if the law applies.
An amendment to the identity theft law that would bar internet impersonation specifically has passed the state Assembly and is now before the state Senate. Proponents say it's merely a clarification and that current law still applies to this case.
Thorton's attorney, Richard Roberts, tried to downplay any harm done by the posts: "Everybody in this courtroom has been the victim of somebody saying something nasty about them," he said.
He's probably right, but sometimes those who make hurtful comments can be — and should be — prosecuted.

How natural hot springs and sunshine may alleviate symptoms of psoriasis
In 2007, Matthew Katz was 80 percent covered in psoriasis lesions and looking for a noninvasive treatment to manage his condition. His dermatologist told him there was little he could do for him outside of prescribing pharmaceutical medications but handed him a script for treatment at the Dead Sea, located between Israel and Jordan.
The following summer, Katz traveled to the Dead Sea for a 28-day course of treatment for his psoriasis. Each week, he met with a doctor at DMZ Medical Spa, who recommended the appropriate frequency and duration of sunbathing and Dead Sea soaking treatments for his condition. By day 18, Katz's psoriatic lesions had cleared.
After his return to the U.S., Katz remained free of lesions for about six months before they slowly began returning. Even though his psoriasis flared again, the Dead Sea treatment was worth the travel and expense, he said. He plans to return this summer.
"I was happier, more relaxed, less stressed, and not feeling alone or stigmatized," Katz said.
Mineral water and sunshine
With salinity of 33.7 percent, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth, and since biblical times, the sea — at 1,300 feet below sea level — has been anecdotally known for its healing properties. A 2012 study published in Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, conducted by a panel of dermatologists and researchers at Maccabi Healthcare Services in Israel, concluded that Dead Sea treatments are beneficial in several rheumatologic diseases. The study found the benefits are the result of both the level of sunshine available at the elevation of the Dead Sea and Dead Sea water's salinity and concentration of thermal springs.
Many people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis use balneotherapy — the practice of bathing in hot springs and other naturally mineral-rich waters — to alleviate the symptoms of their disease. Balneophototherapy takes treatment one step further, adding ultraviolet light to the bathing process. The science behind the benefits of balneotherapy and balneophototherapy however, are not clearly understood.
A study published in 2012 in the journal Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed noted that while the exact mechanisms that make balneophototherapy helpful are unknown, the concentration and mineral composition of the water appear to enhance the transmission of UV light through psoriasis on the skin, which affects the thickness and hydration of the outer layer of skin. Additionally, the study said that the magnesium-rich waters of the Dead Sea make psoriatic lesions more sensitive to the healing effects of UV light, which can be tolerated for longer periods at the Dead Sea because of the elevation.
Dr. Ben Ehst, assistant professor of dermatology and director of medical dermatology at Oregon Health & Science University, said more rigorous scientific research still needs to be done to determine the effectiveness of balneotherapy.
"It is likely that some patients with severe psoriasis can have great improvement from the therapy, but it is still hard to know when, to whom and in what type of psoriasis to recommend it," he said. "For those patients with mild disease, or with residual disease on another treatment, I don't see harm in trying it."
Treatment in the U.S.
While sites such as the Dead Sea, Blue Lagoon in Iceland and Kangal Hot Springs in Turkey have thrived, locations in the U.S. are less well known. Great Pagosa Hot Springs in Colorado and Warm Mineral Springs in Florida draw people for their reported healing properties, and Mavena Derma Clinics in Chicago has created a medical bathing unit that uses a 15 percent concentration of Dead Sea brine and narrowband UVB phototherapy. General Manager Paul Goldenbeld said patients could see up to "an 85 percent reduction in PASI score, comparable to what is expected with pharmaceutical treatments, including biologics."
For those who don't have the time or money to travel, there are many bath salt companies that sell Dead Sea salts. However, tested Tomesa therapy — a type of balneophototherapy that has published results — requires a 10 percent Dead Sea salt solution, a difficult percentage to recreate at home. Mavena Derma Clinics uses a 15 percent Dead Sea salt brine; to create the same concentration at home would require adding an average of 33 to 44 pounds of salt to a home bathtub, Goldenbeld said.

STANTON, MI -- Records from an investigation into accusations of computer misuse by two former Tri County teachers will remain sealed while a judge reviews arguments that could permanently block disclosure of the alleged misdeeds
Lawyers for Maureen Baker and Jeff Ells, district high school teachers who resigned while under an inquiry from administrators, say their departure from the school system before an investigation was completed should lead to the documents being inaccessible.
The teachers are suing to block the release of the records from public disclosure following Freedom of Information requests filed by media organizations. Montcalm County Circuit Judge Suzanne Kreeger, on Tuesday, April 15, continued a temporary injunction withholding the records from scrutiny.
"I have received some information, but it would appear appropriate that there be a protective order at this point in time until I have an opportunity to review that further," said Kreeger. "There are important considerations here on both sides of the situation."
Baker, a 20-year English teacher, and Ells, a 13-year science teacher, resigned from the school district effective Jan. 24, 2014, as the school district was concluding its investigation of activity on district equipment. The former teachers had been on paid administrative leave since October.
Superintendent Allen Cummings say the alleged misconduct did not involve students nor was there any criminal activity. The nature of the accusations are unclear as district leaders are unable to discuss the content while the case remains in court.
"The documents at issue here invade my clients rights to privacy and disclosure would inflict great harm on my clients and to their families and it would serve no benefit to the public," Fil Iorio, the attorney for Baker and Ells, told the judge. "The documents would only serve to embarrass, humiliate and destroy reputations."
Iorio said the media is not entitled to certain documents because the information is private communication that doesn't constitute public records.
"These are alleged emails and Google chats between two consenting adults that happened to be captured on the school districts computer system," he said, about one of four categories of documents. These are purely personal communications that don't involve any official school business."
Related: Former Tri County teachers accused of computer misuse seek to block record release
Gregory Longworth, who represents the school district, agreed with some of Iorio's arguments, but said it's up to the judge to determine the law on chat messages and Facebook posts. He acknowledged there was no final determination of misconduct.
"The district wants to fulfill its obligations," he said. " It wants to fulfill whatever obligations it has to the media and to other persons who may issue a FOIA. FOIA serves an important purpose of government being open."
On the other hand, he said, the exemptions also serve an important purpose and school officials don't want to run afoul of that.
Instead of pursuing tenure charges, the district entered into resignation agreements with Ells and Baker, who are being paid through the end of their 2013-14 contracts.
In response to prospective employer requests, the district will state that Baker "chose to resign during an investigation of alleged misuse of district technology equipment and allegations that she sent former high school graduates Facebook communications of a sexual nature, on non-work time, using her own personal technology equipment," according to the agreement.
The fact that Baker denies the allegation would also be referenced. In regard to Ells, the district will specify there was no unprofessional conduct and will state on the form that "Mr. Ells resigned during an investigation of alleged misuse of district technology, which did not include allegations of impropriety or behavior with students, or any suspected criminal activity."

The senior tailback, already SU's all-time leading rusher, broke the school record for career rushing touchdowns with his 44th, 45th and 46th touchdowns in the Crusaders' 35-30 win.
Here is a portions of Thursday's story (the full article can be found in Thursday's edition of The Patriot-News):
Dave Paveletz patterns his running style and approach after Dallas Cowboys workhorse Marion Barber.
Running between the tackles and running over would-be tacklers is what makes the Susquehanna University senior tailback tick. Paveletz craves contact and loves fighting for every yard.
And he has the Sunday morning bumps and bruises to prove it.
"I'm always really sore the next day and I've had little nagging injuries, but it's nothing that's going to keep me down," Paveletz said.
The Hanover Area grad is in the midst of a special senior season, and it's coincided with the Crusaders being right in the thick of the Liberty League chase. Heading into the final four weeks of the regular season, Susquehanna stands just one game behind first-place Union.
In addition to the Paveletz story, we'll have In the Huddle Notes from Gettysburg, Lebanon Valley, Dickinson and Susquehanna as well as standings, stats and our Division III Player of the Week.

RICHFIELD TWP, MI -- After six days of searching and distributing flyers around the Davison Township area, Josh Paris said his fiancee Linsey Sies received a phone call from a familiar voice regarding Bernie, the family's missing 1-year-old dog.
"My fiancee went up the stairs to go to bed," when she got a telephone call, Paris said. "I hear her say no way, you found him."
"She was like a little kid, stomping, who found out Santa isn't real," he laughed.
The couple who found Bernie -- a Pomeranian/poodle mix that went missing Saturday, Dec. 14, after the family was a in a roll-over accident on Interstate 69 near the Lapeer Road overpass -- included a woman who was Sies' mom's former boss at Diplomat Pharmacy.
She lives on Gale Road off Lapeer Road, Paris said, not far from the accident scene that totaled the family's Chevy Tracker and left Bernie missing during the area's first snow storm of the winter.
"Her house sits back off Gale Road, a little ways in the woods," said Paris, of Richfield Township, adding the family had done some searching in the area but to no avail. "He obviously didn't go too far after the accident."
Paris said the woman "heard something pawing at the door, she saw prints in the snow, but didn't see anything. Around 20 minutes later, after the woman's husband made it home, her husband heard the noise again.
They put Bernie in the garage with a blanket and used the information on his collar to begin a search online. After noticing his photo and name on the Genesee County Animal Shelter Cats and Dogs Facebook page, they reached out to Sies and Paris.
"They were ecstatic. They were both sleeping," said Paris of the couple's daughters. "I came in and said, 'look who I've got.' They both started crying and were so happy to see him."

Officials from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission cited five people for selling illegal animal products — items made from turtle shells — at a powwow Monday on City Island.
The Native American Powwow was held on the island for the 15th year this past weekend as part of the Kipona Wine, Art and Blues Festival, according to festival officials. Fish and boat commission officials issued six citations to five different individuals after searching stalls set up in Native American crafts displays Monday afternoon, according to a commission spokesman.
Under state law, a permit that costs about $50 a year for state residents and $100 for out-of-state residents is required in order to sell snapping turtles or items made from the turtles, wrote Eric Levis, a commission spokesman, in an email response to PennLive's questions.
"Four individuals were cited for attempting to sell items made from snapping turtles without having the required snapping turtle permit," Levis wrote. "This is a summary offense of the second degree and is a $150 fine, plus court costs."
In addition to those citations, two individuals, including one of the people mentioned above, received citations for trying to sell items made from eastern box turtles, Levis added. No permit exists allowing the sale of any items made from box turtles, he said.
The penalty for trying to sell items made form box shell turtles is also a summary offense of the second degree and carries a $150 fine, plus court costs, Levis said.

Indeed, Wednesday was an exceptional day at Portland City Hall.
Taking its first official crack at various proposed rate hikes, the City Council greenlighted increases of 12.9 percent for water rates, 6 percent for combined sewer and stormwater rates, and 2.3 percent for garbage and recycling. Those increases, to be approved next week, would go into effect July 1.
The marathon budget-review session began with a packed chamber and about three dozen people testifying against federally mandated water projects. Several times, city leaders asked the audience to settle down while Water Bureau managers explained projects and costs.
In the next five years, water rates are expected to increase 85 percent. Officials said Wednesday that a proposed treatment plant at Bull Run accounts for about 10 percentage points, while covering the city's reservoirs makes up about 15 percentage points.
Nearly every seat was empty by the time a standoff erupted between Mayor Sam Adams and city Commissioner Dan Saltzman over sewer and stormwater rates.
Commissioner Randy Leonard, referring to former Mayor Vera Katz, said: "I'm, in my mind's eye, imagining Vera at home right now with a glass of wine watching TV, laughing and saying, 'That's why I took the bureaus every year, Sam.'"
Adams had been calling for a 5.5 percent sewer/stormwater increase, saying Saltzman has a "huge budget" and arguing that it could be scrubbed down below Saltzman's 6.5 percent proposal.
Saltzman countered with a 6 percent hike, noting that his request was vetted by a financial advisory committee and the Portland Utility Review Board.
Adams said Saltzman offered a list of cuts that "strikes me as Washington Monuments" -- reductions that are easy to suggest knowing no one would accept them.
In the end, Saltzman's 6 percent prevailed. Afterward, Saltzman -- who a year ago lost the Police Bureau during a rift with Adams and now is a possible mayoral candidate -- said this:
"I do think political influences are at work. What can I say?"

Marian Trone was shocked by the letter she received last month from the New Cumberland Police Department.
"All my toes and legs turned white," said Trone, an 86 year-old borough resident, after speaking during the May 1 Borough Council meeting.
The letter Trone received was sent to notify her that she was in violation of the borough's property maintenance ordinance. An area on the exterior of Trone's house required painting. Trone said she was given 30 days in which to complete the work.
The notice, which included phrasing from the borough ordinance, also mentioned the possibility of conviction, possible fines of $100 to $1,000, or even possible imprisonment if she did not comply.
New Cumberland has sent about 2,000 such letters over roughly the last year to property owners to encourage them to make repairs. New Cumberland Police Chief Joseph E. Spadaccino said the effort has been largely successful.
But there has been a change in the letter.
The verbiage of the first property maintenance notice residents will receive in the future no longer references the 30 day timeframe, or the possibility of fines or imprisonment. The new letter still notifies residents of violations, but softens the language, according to Spadaccino.
Spadaccino said the police department has always worked with residents to come up with a practical timeframe for completion of property repairs. The new letter tells residents to contact the borough's community service officer if the repairs can't be completed in a timely fashion.
According to Spadaccino, the intent is to encourage property maintenance, not fine residents.

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan — Steve Jobs had Steve Wozniak. Larry Page had Sergey Brin.
These pairs — founders of Apple and Google, respectively — knew that great companies aren't created by one person alone.
A new organization at Flint's colleges hopes to tap into this theory and bridge the gap between student skill sets at Flint's colleges.
"You can't just run a huge business being an engineer. You can't run a business without the technical side of it, either," said Nicholas Pohl, a University of Michigan-Flint grad and founder and executive director of Genesee Regional Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs, or GRACE.
GRACE launch event
• WHAT: Genesee Regional Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs will have a kick-off event to launch the new organization.
• WHEN: 6-8 p.m. Feb. 3
• WHERE: Mott Community College, Regional Technology Center, 1401 E. Court St., Flint
• WHO: Area college student, recent graduates and the local business community. To RSVdP or for more information, visit www.grace-event.org
The new organization aims to make connections between students with different talents at Flint colleges to help launch businesses.
For example, a computer science student at Kettering with a great idea for a mobile application might team up with a UM-Flint business student to build a marketing plan for the software .
GRACE is planning a kick-off event Feb. 3 to welcome members and help get the word out for more.
Long-term goals include hosting events and networking opportunities, like a business pitch competition in March, said Alexander Masters a Kettering University business student who co-founded the group and is serving as its president and chief executive officer.
Think of the group as like an intercollegiate chamber of commerce and business incubator.
"Collegiate entrepreneurship has a huge potential to become an economic driver in our area," Masters said.
Masters 20, and Pohl, 26, got the idea for the organization while talking at a Kettering organization for student entrepreneurs last year. Pohl had transferred from an engineering program at Kettering to study business and finance at UM-Flint.
Kettering had a wealth of engineering talent, they realized, and UM-Flint has a strong business program.
"We were talking and said, 'why can't we marry these together?'" said Pohl.
By connecting these students — along with those from Mott Community College and Baker College — the pair said the next big thing could be born in Genesee County.
If the kind of start ups they see brewing right now are any indication, then the future is bright, they say. The trick is to build a business landscape to support it.
The more that happens, Masters said "the more we may be able to make a case for them staying here instead of moving out, let's say, to California."

I think it's gonna be a hell of a night, a hell of a night
So we could do whatever you like
[Verse 1]
It took me all day to find some inspiration
It just hit me like a ton of bricks, no renovation
Problem with the game now, there ain't no innovation
I see my shit all in your shit, we call that imitation
And they say that's flattering, but I ain't flattered at all
Matter fact y'all need to practice that more
See my man Nate asked me if I gained weight
I said nah, my pockets got fatter, that's all
Money was an issue, but now that that's solved
I ball, I ball, like Kobe in the fall
Put trophies on wall, rather trophies on my mantle
Dog my shows be off the handle
Take the proceeds go to gamble
Ha, bet it on black and pray, I quadruple my salary
If I win, maybe then I could pay Sallie Mae
She be askin' "when?", bitch! When I feel like it
This is the 8th track on J. Cole's debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story.

Day 242
Wednesday 23rd June 2010
Gestation: 38 weeks, 5 days
One year ago.
So again today, I run. After realising yesterday how much I am reading into things, I try to drop it. I try to stop reading into things, but it's hard. Because one thing remains constant.
Each day I run, each day in the parching, drenching afternoon sun, I run along the beach, each day clocking a time slower than the day before, each day feeling more and more sapped by the dropping sun.
And one thing remains constant.
As I double back, sprinting home through the spongy sand, my feet sinking in quicksand, I look out at the horizon. And each day, each and every day, I see a solitary boat – a different one each time, and yet a solitary boat – directly under the light of the sun, infallibly dissected in half by the sun's ray, slicing vertically through the water, spreading it's shimmering beam into the azure waters below.
A singleton ship. Out on the horizon. Every single day.
In those same waters that our pink and blue boats sailed.
And only the pink boat floating on.
Continuing on, well after we left.
One thing remains constant.

This week's recap of season 5 episode 3 of ABC's series Lost was difficult, and I actually had to watch the episode again this morning before writing up the recap.
The show continues to present multiple story lines throughout the episode, but in season's past, the flash forwards and backs traditionally resulted in an answer of some sort. Now it seems they've taken them to an entirely new level, creating a game of a "How far back can you remember
Notes from Episode 3:
During a previous season, "Others" second in command Richard Alpert came to visit John Locke as a child, leaving us to wonder how he might have known about Locke at such an early age. Last night we see Locke direct his own fate/future by telling Alpert exactly what day he will be born and asks him to visit in the future.
The encounter between the survivors, the 1950s others and an ageless Alpert did help in creating a time line for the island. Quite handy when it seems this season is all bout shifting time lines.
Desmond, who is still my favorite character in all of this, wakes up from a dream remembering that Faraday asked him to contact his mother. During the trek, Desmond uncovers a bit of mystery surrounding Faraday and a former girlfriend/assistant who's trapped in the time-leaping sojourn he was on last season.
Low and behold the story line behind Penny's father Charles Widmore begins to reveal itself. We catch a glimpse of a young brash Widmore on the island as an "Other/Hostile," answering to Alpert. One can only imagine the addition of Ben Linus into the mix somehow places the "I hope to be in charge someday" Widmore next in line to the throne behind Ben. Hence the modern day epic battle for "Lord of the Flies" supremacy.
Although I have come to like Daniel Faraday, I think his profession of love to Charlotte while under fire from Alpert is not all it seems to be, well, maybe. I still hold to my theory that Charlotte, being born on the island, is somewhat torn between both current time and whenever the island is at any given moment. Creating the paradox of "How can she exist if she hasn't been born yet?". I wonder if Faraday's proclamation will somehow ground her in a time period much like we saw Desmond go through when he was time traveling last season.
Here's a tentative (until next week's episode screws it all up) story line:
Once upon a time there was Jacob. Then, Jacob somehow begat Richard Alpert to lead the "Others." When in time this happened, one can only imagine as Juliet alluded to in saying "Richard has always been here." The pirate ship may come into play soon, answering that question. Alpert and the Others live a happy life which seems to be interrupted by groups of meddling outsiders (much like a Scooby Doo mystery) screwing with their happy existence. Enter the 1940s soldiers and an H-Bomb, enter the Dharma Initiative, enter Oceanic survivors. This island sure is easy to stumble upon isn't it?
Looking ahead:
I'm wondering if the reason behind entering the series of six numbers every 108 minutes will have anything to do with the bomb.
And unless my eyes deceived me, I caught a glimpse of Charlotte in next week's previews, so I guess she survives the bloody nose.
If the island has magical powers prior the H-Bomb's arrival, I wonder if its existence now is creating the anomalies.

ATF Needs The Right Tools To Control Violent Crimes
February 8, 2013
To the Readers' Forum: We know many of your readers share our concerns regarding the appalling number of senseless gun violence deaths each year....
People should be writing letters alright. They should be writing to ask if anyone has truly been held responsible for "Operation Fast and Furious". Hundreds of innocent people killed by the more than 2,000 weapons funnelled to Mexican drug cartels by the Obama DOJ and ATF. People should be writing letters alright, to demand the cartel gang members operating in hundreds of U.S. cities be rounded up and deported because if Obama and the Dems had their way,all of these gang members would be given amnesty. People should be writing letters alright,demanding that politicians start obeying the laws which they swore to do in their oaths to take office. Look at the abysmal record of Obama appointees so far. Why should we add one more?

"Fast and Furious" was a stupid plan to track guns across the border. The problem was and still is that the cartels pay Americans big bucks to buy hundreds of guns at a time. All they have to do is pass a simple background check. That information is destroyed once passed and they deliver the guns to the cartels. We need a registration!

Registration would not have prevented the recent shootings. Criminals don't follow laws. Come on, thats not hard to understand.

A well written letter gets absurd replies. I actually thought that there would be some sane responses. I should have known better. Once again Fast and Furious began under the Bush administration.

This is a mental health issue, why do these crazies kill people. Figure that out, limit their exposer to any weapons, etc. now that would get results and would have stopped at least this last shooting.
Another point, we have people walking our streets that have used a gun to commit a crime. Why? We need to keep these people locked up since they have demonstrated their willingness to use guns for crimes.
Registering legal guns purchased my law abiding Americans wont help. All that does is tell the gov who owns what gun. (Only applies to legal gun owners)

Democrats who control the state Legislature revealed 10 proposals that they said would make California the most restrictive state for possessing firearms."

RAHWAY — A LoJack on a stolen Toyota led Union County police to a Rahway warehouse and the discovery of numerous other missing vehicles, authorities said today.
County police officer Kenneth Matz was on patrol Saturday when he received a hit on a 2011 Toyota equipped with LoJack, an anti-theft device that allows law enforcement to track stolen cars using radio frequency technology.
When he followed the information from the Toyota, Matz found the car outside the Sivomar Trucking and Shipping Warehouse on Elston Street in Rahway, authorities said. He also found a 2005 Audi, parked next to the Toyota, that was reported stolen on April 29.
County police detectives also found two motorcycles reported stolen from Hyattsville, Md., in June 2010, as well as a 2008 Infiniti and a 2009 Mercedes-Benz, which were both stolen in armed carjackings in Newark on May 5, authorities said.
Bertrand Assoumany, owner of the warehouse, was charged with receiving stolen property. He was sent to the Union County jail on $45,000 bail.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story said that a GPS tracker was used to locate a stolen Toyota and other vehicles at a Rahway warehouse. LoJack uses radio frequency technology, which unlike GPS, doesn't require a line of sight to a satellite.

The uncertainty about financing and governance of a proposed state teaching hospital in lower Mid-City does not affect the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as it plans an adjacent hospital, a top agency official said Wednesday.
"We have a commitment from the state that (its) facility will be built in that location, " said Don Orndoff, who directs the Veterans Affairs construction and facilities office, during a planning forum to discuss the latest VA schematic designs. "We take them at their word."
Pressed further, Orndoff cited private assurances from Gov. Bobby Jindal, and Orndoff dismissed concerns that potential delays or changes to the state's plan for a $1.2 billion, 424-bed complex could hinder the VA's 200-bed hospital.
Yet it has become increasingly clear in recent months that the state project faces obstacles that do not burden the VA. And architects conceded to the planning, preservation and neighborhood group leaders gathered Wednesday that, despite "ongoing" conversations about shared services, the two hospitals are being designed to "stand on their own."
Both projects are the subject of state and federal lawsuits, but the VA has congressional financing and no questions of governance.
The state, meanwhile, continues to haggle with the federal government over how much damage Hurricane Katrina inflicted on Charity Hospital, with the eventual settlement answering a key piece of the financial puzzle for the proposed replacement. The Jindal administration has thus far been unable to negotiate a governance agreement for a new corporation to own and operate the hospital -- and, more immediately, sell the bonds necessary to build it.
In that context, some attendees at Wednesday's session questioned how federal officials can continue to talk of synergy between the two hospitals, particularly given their caveats about independence.
Architects presented VA designs that, like previous renderings, depict a federal complex covering about 30 acres bound by Galvez Street, Canal Street, South Rocheblave Street and Tulane Avenue, with the main entrance fronting Galvez Street. The state complex would rise across Galvez, reaching to South Claiborne Avenue.
Katy Coyle, a VA planning consultant, said VA and state officials -- from Louisiana State University, in particular -- could share as many as 12 clinical departments. One hospital would build the facilities, she said, with the other paying for use. Coyle did not identify the functions.
Designers also repeated that there are "ongoing discussions" about one central energy plant. Current plans do not reflect that.
Responding to previous criticisms that initial designs did not reflect Mid-City's landscape and architecture, architects touted tree-lined avenues that would track existing streets in an effort to preserve part of the city grid.
But carrying that plan through both campuses, as drawn by VA architects, could depend on the state building a second phase of its complex. The state has confirmed that its $1.2 billion estimate covers only an initial round of construction involving about half of the buildings shown on the VA's drawings.

Drying TrendJuly 17th, 2014 at 11:08 am by John Smith under Weather
Last night was a very active night across much of New Mexico, particularly in the Albuquerque metro. Parts of the city saw over an inch of rain, while the Sunport managed nearly an inch. Last night's rainfall at the Sunport officially put Albuquerque above average for the month of July, with two weeks still to go. However, it's going to become more difficult to get showers and storms going the next few days as drier air works in.
High pressure to the west will edge toward the state. As this happens, drier air will filter in from the northwest. Storm coverage will be down across the northwest and Rio Grande Valley. The best chances for showers will be across the east, where numerous storms are once again possible.
Friday, storm coverage across the east diminishes as well as high pressure settles in. Once over the state, temperatures will heat up dramatically. By Monday, afternoon highs will be 5° – 10° above average. Albuquerque will warm to the upper 90s, while the south and east climb to the century mark.

Terminated: Search for city manager
The Federal Way City Council decided unanimously Tuesday to discontinue its search for a new city manager. The council voted to terminate a contract with Prothman, a consultant.
As of late November, the city had spent roughly $9,000 on the search for a new city manager, human resources director Mary McDougal said. The city has only paid Prothman for the services it has completed. It will not cost the city any money to terminate the contract, she said.
Efforts to permanently replace former city manager Neal Beets began shortly after his departure in May. The city council first solicited applications for the open position, but later hired Prothman to identify top candidates. The council was looking to hire a new city manager no later than February.
The passing of Proposition 1 replaces the city manager position with an elected mayor position.

A wonderful place. Bungalows placed in a beautiful garden, very peaceful and quiet. Value for money excellent!
A true oasis of tranquility in the heart of nature. The bungalows are very spacious and cozy. Superb garden and copious breakfast with real organic produce.
The super-clean and comfortable rooms of the resort in an orange grove provided a lovely restful holiday. Mehmet and his family who run the place were friendly and served excellent hearty meals and breakfast with home-made jams. It was minutes from the beach.
the host was very helpful and hospitable; the garden was a green oasis with lovely views and plenty of places to relax;
it would have been helpful to know in advance that credit cards are not accepted
The proximity to the beach and the lovely grounds.
We were very happy with the hotel. The staff was pleasant but not always very informative. We were not told of the late afternoon snack, for example, or the two options for getting to Olympos. But they did lend us a flashlight to see the Chimera, which was very helpful. Overall, it was a wonderful place.
Hotel was quiet, off the beaten track which is what we wanted and not overrun with package holiday Brits.
Despite requesting to be met at airport on late evening arrival and confirming in phone call to hotel a couple of days prior to our arrival this would happen, it did not! and following 2 costly mobile phone calls and having to ask a helpful salesman at the airport to translate for us with the hotel, a taxi was arranged for us at the airport. Nobody at the hotel could explain why we weren't met.
Wonderful crystal clear waters. Popular with locals too. Ruins and snorkeling on the south end near the rock walls.
Try hotels a little further out to save money and walk in to the beach if trying to save money.
Nice people, big breakfast and great beach
Attentive and very helpful staff with a real family atmosphere of people there to make your stay memorable. Set in an oasis of palmtrees singing with a proud collection of exotic birds you will be entertained as well as enchanted.
Wonderful relaxing and friendly hotel in unspoilt natural surroundings. Great food too.
Perfect hotel with the extremely helpful and friendly owner.
Note that Cirali is a very noisy village with billions of hungry mosquitos and hundreds children screaming like mad squirrels.
This is a delightful small hotel run very personally by the extremely caring and thoughtful owners. It is set in a small garden a few minutes from a long beach, surrounded by orange groves. nice typical turkish food and very warm and friendly staff. The facilities are simple but very adequate. Strongly recommended and we hope to visit ourselves again.
Great food. Great atmosphere. Comfortable, clean and friendly.
No complaints!
This was my second stay at Grand Aygun this year and it felt like coming home. The family caters for everything, they help with advice and organizing activities, the food is so healthy (missed 2 kg without feeling hungry at all). An excellent mix of country house and all modcons and so close to the sea!
Nice cosy hotel for a quiet rest. Orange and lemon trees, banana palms all around. Beach is just 5 min walk but you can rent a bicycle and it will take you 2 min. Bike is 5 euro per day but you can rent it for several days and get a discount (I took for 6 and paid 25 euros).
Breakfasts are all the same each day and very simple. Also the staff of the hotel tries to get you dinner for 10 Euros but you can have meals for less in the village.Also regarding transfers - hotel asks for 70 Euros one way from Antaliya airport but in the village you can order transfer for 30 or 20 Euros per person.
Very friendly owners who are very willing to make you feel at home. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The home cooked food is very good.
Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was also very good. Overall very relaxing.
