Foot pursuit ends in arrest
Hooked on Fishing event is today
Brrr … chilly greetings from Barbour County! It's not just Barbour County though. As I write this, I know the whole area has been cooler than normal. I don't mind. It will be hot soon enough.
I hope all of the mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day. Even though it was chilly, we went to Teter Lake, and I enjoyed a nice walk halfway around the lake. It sure was relaxing. If you haven't been there, I recommend that you go by sometime. The lake is stocked and the view is beautiful.
There will be a first-ever Hooked on Fishing event at the Belington Reservoir from 8 a.m. to noon today. This is for ages 4-14 and is sponsored by the Belington Police Department. Bring the kids out for fishing, games and food. I hope to see you there!
Also today, there will be a ramp dinner from 2-6 p.m. at the Union Community Building. The price is $8 for adults and $5 for children under 10. The dinner will consist of beans, ham, fried potatoes with ramps, cornbread, apple sauce and desserts. Johnny Daugherty will be there at 6 p.m. for singing.
Spring is a time when lots of folks do some extra cleaning. If you have any items that you want to get rid of, mark your calendars for June 8. That's that date that Belington has set for its annual citywide yard sale.
There will be a flyier with yard sales listed throughout the area. If you want your yard sale listed, pick up a form at Freedom Bank or City Hall. Yard sale spaces are also available at the Freedom Bank. Contact Terri Kittle at 304-823-1792 for more information.
While you are doing your spring cleaning, if you have any good used books that you don't need, please consider donating them to the Belington Public Library. It will be having a book sale on June 8, so donations are being accepted at this time.
Coaching contracts for middle school sports were officially reinstated at the Board of Education meeting this week. This was a result of the tremendous effort put forth by those who cared enough to do something in the community instead of just sitting by and letting the sports programs be stopped. Thank you to all those who worked hard on this endeavor.
If you have any Barbour County news that you would like to see in The Inter-Mountain, feel free to give me a call at 304-823-2539.
Until next time: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition!

Product QuestionsMy charger broke, and although the battery is still good now I need the charger. Does anyone know how / who to contact? I don't have any box information....someone is giving a tractor similar to this but the battery is bad; charger should still be good. How can I order a new battery.

Former St. Anthony High School hoops star and Jersey City mayoral hopeful Jerry Walker thanked his supporters tonight in a statement released from his campaign.
"It was an honor and a privilege to have work with those that believed in me, especially since I have been in the mayoral race for four months in such a diverse city," said Walker in a statement from his campaign.
Walker, 42, came in a distant third in today's mayoral race, winning only 8 percent of the vote. Walker hadn't been expected to win, but political observers believed he might have been able to force a runoff between Mayor Jerramiah Healy and City Councilman Steve Fulop.
Fulop eventually won on the first ballot, with 53 percent of the vote to Healy's 38 percent.
"I am proud of the fact that we ran a clean and issue oriented campaign throughout the entire city," Walker said. "And congratulations to Steve Fulop for his victory."

Lol this is funny.
LOTS of the people who say they are 22 or 15/16 are younger, 14 and under.
And I hear people say "wow young community"?
Nintendo's latest consoles are solely based for a younger audience, only the Wii has started making a few more mature games.
My friend "Bob" 22 years old from Mexico is the identity for my Xbox Live playing friend who is in high school.

Sledgehammers will start swinging Tuesday at the Southwood Patio Homes, a large, derelict apartment complex on Sullen Place in Algiers.
New Orleans City Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer announced that 132 units would be demolished to make room for a park and a community garden managed by the nonprofit Hung Dao Community Development Corp.
Documents show Hung Dao bought the property from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development in September for $53,580 through the Louisiana Land Trust, which has acted as a nonprofit holding company for the state for purchased Road Home properties. The trust has a Community Development Block Grant to pay for the demolition, which could cost as much as $900,000, records show.
A crew will start to tear down a six-unit building at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation Archive is seeking volunteer photographers to document the 2012 Jazz Fest.
The foundation will organize a team of volunteer photographers to take pictures of various aspects of the 2012 festival, according to a press release from the foundation.
The three categories for applicants are: student, amateur and professional.
The deadline to apply is Dec. 31, 2011. Participants must be at least 18 years old. Only 150 applications will be considered.
The Volunteer Photographer Program is a community outreach project of the Foundation Archive.
The photos will be about more than music. According to the release, the foundation wants to "capture the 'internal culture' of the festival: the food, art and especially the people whose fashions and customs are crucial in defining the Jazz Fest experience.'
Candidates must be able to manage and edit hundreds or even thousands of digital images, provide their own gear and be physically able to handle the rigorous assignments.
Those selected must provide the archive with a CD or DVD of the images taken at the festival as well as a complete index of those photos. The images are owned by the photographer but may be used by the foundation to promote the festival and other programs, and for other educational or noncommercial purposes.
Applications will be reviewed by a four-person jury consisting of one member of the foundation board and three volunteer photographer/curators.
Decisions will be based on these criteria:
- Artistic merit (60 percent)
- Experience photographing live cultural events and professional reliability (40 percent)
The dates of the 2012 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival are April 27-29 and May 3-6.
For more information, contact the Jazz & Heritage Foundation Archive by calling 504. 558.6138. Or email the archives.

TORONTO, Ontario – Alex Rodriguez is back in the Yankee lineup a day after sitting out with a bruised left foot. Rodriguez is the designated hitter, batting third in Joe Girardi's lineup as the Yankees open a four-game series with the Blue Jays.
"I feel good," Rodriguez said. "Being the DH is what I'm able to do today. We'll take it day by day to see when I'm able to return to playing the field."
In other pre-game developments, Brett Gardner took batting practice on the field for the first time today. He had been doing work in the cage, but today took two rounds of BP.
Girardi said it is not out of the question that Gardner could make a postseason roster as a pinch-runner and defensive replacement, even if he doesn't look ready to hit in games.
Here are tonight's lineups:
Yankees (90-65)
Jeter, SS
Suzuki, RF
Rodriguez, DH
Cano, 2B
Swisher, 1B
Granderson, CF
Martin, C

C.I.A. Awaits Rules on Interrogation of Terror Suspects
NY Times | March 25, 2007
A sharp debate within the Bush administration over the future of the Central Intelligence Agency's detention and interrogation program has left the agency without the authority to use harsh interrogation techniques that the White House said last fall were necessary in questioning terrorism suspects, according to administration and Congressional officials.
The agency for months has been awaiting approval for rules that would give intelligence operatives greater latitude than military interrogators in questioning terrorism suspects but would not include some of the most controversial interrogation procedures the spy agency has used in the past.
But the internal debate has left the C.I.A. program in limbo as top officials struggle over where to set boundaries in the treatment of people suspected of being involved in terrorist activities. Until the debate is resolved, C.I.A. interrogators are authorized to use only interrogation procedures approved by the Pentagon.
The C.I.A.'s proposed interrogation rules are part of the first major overhaul of the agency's detention and interrogation program since the agency began jailing terrorism suspects in 2002. The agency has already decided to abandon some past interrogation techniques among them waterboarding, which induces a feeling of drowning that human rights groups and some lawmakers have argued are torture.
Although it is unclear whether the C.I.A. has any prisoners in custody, the White House has not repeated its earlier statements that the secret prisons are empty. The C.I.A.'s proposed interrogation methods remain highly classified, but they may include exposure to extreme temperatures and sleep deprivation.
Much of the debate over the interrogation rules has not been made public. A draft of an executive order providing broad guidelines for interrogators was rejected this year by State Department officials, who argued that the language was too expansive and could leave the Bush administration open to challenges, including some from American allies, that the White House was legalizing practices that violated a provision of the Geneva Conventions.
The Supreme Court ruled last year that all prisoners in American captivity must be treated in accordance with Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which prohibits the humiliating and degrading treatment of prisoners.
The struggle is evidence of shifting dynamics within the administration and a rethinking of some of the most polarizing policies enacted after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to fight terrorism worldwide.
Late last year, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates forced a debate within the administration about whether to close the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and now some senior officials are questioning how far the C.I.A. interrogation program should go beyond the Army Field Manual for interrogations, which the Pentagon uses to train military interrogators.
It has been six months since President Bush signed a bill authorizing the secret C.I.A. interrogations a measure the White House promoted as a critical tool to obtain information from high-level terrorism suspects.
Several officials said the C.I.A. had not yet needed to press the White House for the legal authority because there was no one in C.I.A. custody who had required the enhanced interrogation techniques.
Still, C.I.A. officials have maintained that it is important to get the detention program on a solid legal footing and to give clarity to operatives in the field about what is permissible and what is not.
At the end of the day, the director any director of C.I.A. must be confident that what he has asked an agency officer to do under this program is lawful, the agency's director, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, wrote in a note to agency employees last September. That's the story here.
Some officials said that while the C.I.A. would probably be able to get legal approvals if the agency captured someone it wished to interrogate, doing so could take precious time. The intelligence value of detainees sometimes diminishes quickly.
You want established, clear rules in place, said one American official with knowledge of the debate over interrogations. You don't want agency officials having to call back to headquarters for Mother may I?'
The Supreme Court decision forced the White House to press Congress for new authority both to try terrorism suspects using military commissions and to detain and interrogate high-level suspects in secret C.I.A. jails abroad.
When President Bush signed the Military Commissions Act last October, the White House released a statement calling the C.I.A. detention program one of the most successful intelligence efforts in American history. The new authority, Mr. Bush said, will ensure that we can continue using this vital tool to protect the American people for years to come.
But since passage of the bill, top officials have been wrestling with the executive order and a separate legal opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel that would authorize the C.I.A. interrogation techniques and explain why the techniques comply with the standards of the Geneva Conventions.
Gordon D. Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said the executive order was expected in the next few weeks.
The administration has been engaged in a deliberative and thoughtful interagency process, Mr. Johndroe said. This process required additional time as new officials, including the defense secretary, director of national intelligence and White House counsel were brought into the deliberations.
The Military Commissions Act states that the president shall issue an executive order setting out broad guidelines for the interrogation of detainees. Administration officials said the Justice Department had already determined that the language did not compel the White House to issue such an order, but that the administration still planned to complete the document.
Some human rights groups remain skeptical that, even with the Justice Department's blessing, the new interrogation rules would meet international standards governing the treatment of detainees.
Specifically, they point to a series of Office of Legal Counsel memos written in 2002 in which Justice Department lawyers took a broad view of what is permissible under international conventions barring torture, and said they feared that the office could again authorize interrogation techniques that violate international law.
I would hope that the O.L.C. has learned its lesson and that they're not trying to split hairs and draw fine distinctions to undermine the spirit of U.S. law, said John Sifton, a researcher with Human Rights Watch.
Some lawmakers have expressed anger that the White House, after pushing Congress to pass the Military Commissions Act last year, has yet to issue the executive order.
Given the speed with which this bill was pushed through Congress last year, the president should have lived up to his obligations under the law by now, said Senator John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in an e-mail message.
Providing legal clarity for our interrogators was one of the key factors in my decision to support the Military Commissions legislation, Mr. Rockefeller said.
Both Mr. Rockefeller and Representative Silvestre Reyes, the Texas Democrat who is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, have questioned the need for the C.I.A.'s secret prison network and have pledged to make oversight of the agency's detention and interrogation program a priority during this session of Congress.
The interrogation of high-level terrorism suspects in C.I.A. prisons is one of the most criticized aspects of the Bush administration's response to the Sept. 11 attacks.
The prison network was cloaked in secrecy until President Bush confirmed its existence during a speech last September, when he announced that the 14 remaining inmates in C.I.A. prisons would be transferred to the military prison at Guantánamo Bay.
But President Bush defended the C.I.A.'s interrogation techniques as safe and lawful and necessary, and said the spy agency would continue to detain and question high-level terrorism suspects in the future.

Maggie Riggle, 49, has been manager of Art 634 for six years. She drank a mixed berry smoothie with soy protein at Cuppa, a coffee shop in that facility.
What was your favorite food growing up?
I grew up in Atlanta and my mom was a great cook. My favorite food was her New England boiled dinner: ham, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onion and vinegar all cooked in a pot. My parents were both from the Bronx so I had the influence of food from New England and the South.
What is your favorite snack?
A salty snack would be organic blue corn chips. My husband, Mark, and I go through tons of them. I keep thinking blue and organic must mean they are healthy, but I've not checked. At home we don't use sugar or white flour because of Mark's allergies, but away from home I'm a sugar junkie. I love brownies, cupcakes and ice cream.
Do you like to cook or are you a more eat-out kind of person?
Yes to both. I love to cook and love to be waited on. I don't bake well because I don't like to follow recipes. I like to throw things into a pot and see what comes out. One of my family's favorite dishes is one I make with chicken, lots of peppers, corn on the cob, lots of spices, cilantro, lime juice, beer and tequila. It makes a great stew. I didn't grow up learning to cook but I'm very fortunate to have intuitive knowledge about mixing spices.
Where was your most memorable meal and what did you have to eat?
My sister and I were visiting Napa Valley, California when I was in my 30s and, on the advice of a friend, we ate at a vegetarian restaurant. I grew up on meat and potatoes and I had never had a meal that was so artfully served, so creative and foods I had never eaten, like polenta and portabella mushrooms. It totally changed the way I eat and cook, and made me much more adventurous in both.
If you could invite three people from history or present day for dinner, who would they be and why?
Walt Disney because of his vision, his creativity and making it all happen. Alice Waters, who opened Chez Panisse in California in the early 70's and is known for her ties to locally produced organic food. I would like to eat at her restaurant (I haven't) and let her tell me about her food loves and how she is changing food in the school systems in her locale. And Leonardo da Vinci because he is not left or right brained, but both. He was brilliant and artistic in a time when artists were much more revered than they are today, yet his ultimate gift was curiosity about everything. I like a Renaissance mind!
Is there a food you won't eat?
What food couldn't you live without?
What's your favorite meal of the day?
All of them. I love to eat.
If you've had "one of those days" and need comfort food, what would it be?
Mac & cheese, always.
You are surrounded by artists at work and you are an artist (Riggle paints silk and was photographed wearing a scarf she painted). Does this motivate you to pay close attention to the art of serving a good meal, in terms of the setting, colors of food, etc?
My father always said eating is 90 percent visual and I agree completely. It is rare our meals don't have two or three different colors of vegetables. The worst meal is Thanksgiving because it is all white, which makes it unappetizing.

Serving up tales of sheer criminal genius and other offbeat nuggets from the New Orleans area and beyond.
Getting amorous with the ATM
Police arrested a Murfreesboro, Tenn., man accused of trying to make love to an ATM machine and a picnic table, according to a report from WKRN-TV. Lonnie Hutton, 49, apparently had a little bit of the drink before he strolled into a bar, walked up to the machine, exposed himself and tried to have intercourse.
Things between Hutton and the ATM didn't go as planned, though. Police arrived to find him walking around the bar, still naked and thrusting his hips, according to the report.
Officers sat him down outside at a wooden picnic table. But Hutton decided to try his luck, again. He disrobed and got amorous with the table.
Hutton was arrested and booked with public intoxication. No word on whether he had to be treated for splinters.
'High' elf does battle with BMW
Portland, Ore., police had to intervene when a "High Elf" high on LSD attacked a BMW during the Monday morning rush hour, according to a report from the New York Daily News.
A woman called for help after a man dressed in chain mail and armed with a shield and sword began to do battle with her Bimmer around 7 a.m. at an intersection.
The man told responding officers that he was a High Elf, à la J.R. Tolkien, who was attempting to slay the evil Morgoth, according to KATU-TV. For the uninitiated, Morgoth is a Middle Earth dark lord and former master of Sauron, the big bad from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Police arrested the elf, identified as Konrad Bass, 30, who admitted he was a "high" High Elf, having consumed LSD. He was cited for criminal mischief and taken to a local hospital.

Santa Ana unions approve contracts that lessen cuts
SANTA ANA Members of two Santa Ana labor groups have approved new two-year contracts with the city.
Sergio Verino, who was chapter president of the Service Employees International Union, said his group's contract was approved Oct. 2 on a 243-25 vote, out of 367 full-time employees.
"Through this two-year contract, our members will finally see some relief and restore their personal financial lives," said Verino, who recently announced his resignation to run for another SEIU position.
John Franks, president of the Santa Ana Police Officers Association, said his group's contract was approved Oct. 1 on a 213-50 vote. The association represents 492 sworn and non-sworn members.
"I am very proud of our members unanimously approving essentially what was a compromise between a city recovering from economic turmoil and its police department employees," Franks said. "Our members have had to take some tough losses financially by paying more toward their retirement and absorbing health care costs without any cost-of-living increases for over 7 years."
Under the previous two-year contract, which expired June 30, both unions had made a number of concessions to help the stave off a financial crisis, and potential bankruptcy.
Verino said such measures as furloughs, which have ended, and a boost to 13 percent in Public Employees' Retirement System contributions, resulted in a 24.7 percent compensation cut. The PERS contribution, he said, was the highest of any city bargaining unit. Furloughs had cut pay by about 11.7 percent.
The contract, if approved by the City Council, calls for a 1 percent cost-of-living adjustment and a 4 percent reduction in PERS to 9 percent – a percentage point over the state-mandated minimum. The 1 percent pay increase would be retroactive to the start of the contract year, and the 4 percent decrease in PERS contributions would be retroactive to April, he said.
"The City Council understood the sacrifices that our union made in the past years and helped deliver a supportive contract," Verino said.
SEIU represents non-safety workers, such as public works, community development, planning, parks and libraries.
Verino said negotiations would begin soon on a contract for part-time workers.
"There's some relief that they're going to receive a 5 percent salary increase," Verino said. Remaining workers have seen layoffs and a shrinkage in the workforce through attrition.
"It's been tough," Verino said. "We're breathing a little better nowadays. It almost feels like we're above water. And with a new city manager coming in, there will be more stability."
The SAPOA contract, like SEIU's, would be effective from July 1, if approved by the City Council.
"Our past concessions included the deferment of our salary increases two years in a row – 2009 and 2010," Franks said. "Those increases were eventually applied toward PERS cost sharing with the city in 2011."
Other past concessions, he said, were the suspension of vacation and holiday time yearly cash outs.
"We did regain our ability to cash out with the expiration of the contract, but with the new contract, the total hours will be reduced," he said. "The new MOU will reduce the ability to cash out holiday and vacation time by 90 hours, per employee per year," he said, to 120 hours.
Employees would also have to absorb increases in health care costs. Workers will see some changes in pay and retirement.
The PERS contribution of sworn members would increase 8 to 9 percent, but they would receive a 1 percent pay increase to offset the PERS contribution.
Nonsworn members were paying 12.66 percent toward PERS cost sharing, and under the new contract, that would be reduced to 10.5 percent, he said. They include jail and dispatch staff, crime scene investigators, animal control and parking control.
The City Council is expected to take up the contracts Oct. 21.

What is Enlightened Perl? What is the Enlightened Perl Organisation?
What is Enlightened Perl? What is the Enlightened Perl Organisation?
By Mark Keating (mdk) from northwestengland.pm
Date: Friday, 23 October 2009 14:10
Duration: 20 minutes
Target audience: Any
Language: English
Tags: enlightened epo perl
Modern Perl projects and their surrounding communities have developed in the years since the release of Perl 5.0: the continuing evolution of Perl into a more object orientated language; the growth of projects creating features developed for the, as yet unreleased, Perl 6 to enhance Perl 5; the practice of looking at other languages and learning from them; the culture of stable, test-driven releases that have more compatibility with their predecessors; are some of the features of this development.
This talk will give an introduction to the idea of an Enlightened Perl and the Enlightened Perl Organisation and its aims. It will discuss the importance of uniting corporate with community and how this affects the development process. The presentation is not a technical discussion it is a cultural perspective.

Critics stop strip show
Everybody will be keeping their shirts on at PW Murphys.
The owners of the downtown Oak Harbor restaurant and sports bar decided to cancel an exotic striptease show planned for Sept. 14. The partially-clad dancers would have tested the limits of the citys caberet license code.
With such negative reaction from the controversial show of the Female Review Strippers we felt our duty to clear the air is a must, owners Terry and Lisa Suzuki wrote in a letter to the editor. The full letter is on page A-4 of todays News-Times.
The striptease inadvertently led to a mini-uproar after City Councilwoman Sue Karahalios questioned the city attorney about the legality of adult entertainment.
I just questioned what parameters we had for downtown entertainment, she said. She added that shes pleased the bar owners and the community worked out the situation without government involvement.
In the meantime, City Attorney Phil Bleyhl researched the issue of regulating adult entertainment and briefed the council.
Both Karahalios and Councilman Paul Brewer said they dont really want to tackle the issue, but they might have to.
Its a touchy issue, Brewer said.

January 10, 2014 – Springdale, Ark. – Tyson Foods, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 33,840 pounds of uncooked mechanically separated chicken in 10-pound chubs sold for institutional use only. The product was produced exclusively for and distributed to a small number of institutional customers. This product is not available to the general public and is not sold in stores or restaurants.
A sample of the product analyzed by the Tennessee Department of Health was found to contain Salmonella Heidelberg. Seven confirmed illnesses that occurred in early December are potentially linked to the product. According to USDA, some people who consumed entrees prepared with the product at a correctional facility became ill.
Approximately 846 cases of the product were produced on October 11, 2013. Each 10-pound chub bears the establishment code P-13556 and code date 2843SDL1412-18. Product cases may be identified by code 17433-928 which is printed on the exterior label.
Tyson Foods shipped the affected product to institutional customers with distribution centers in the following states: California, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Consumers with questions may call Tyson Consumer Relations department at 866-886-8456. News media and health department officials who have questions should contact the company's Worth Sparkman at 479-290-6358 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kazakhstan defender Mark Gorman is relishing his showdown with Republic of Ireland skipper Robbie Keane.
The 24-year-old defender could face the task of trying to keep the LA Galaxy striker at bay as his side attempts to end its World Cup qualifying campaign on a high in Dublin.
Keane, 33, has 60 senior international goals to his name and having missed on Ireland's 3-0 defeat in Germany on Friday evening, will be raring to go if he forces his way back into interim coach Noel King's starting line-up for the game at the Aviva Stadium.
Gorman said: "I will treat him with absolute respect, but at the same time, I do know how much pressure it puts on me to defend and protect my team.
"But I do hope that I will be able to play accordingly to a high level and up to his talent. As a team, we will try our best."
The Kazakhs arrived in Dublin on the back of a 1-1 draw with Group C minnows the Faroe Islands in Torshavn, a result which did not go down well with sections of the fan-base.
However, Kazakhstan coach Miroslav Beranek is confident there is more to come from his players.
He said: "I was not disappointed with the result. I know that the team can play better, and that's the goal we will be trying to achieve tomorrow."
The two sides met in the opening round of fixtures in Astana in September last year on a night when Ireland's campaign very nearly got off to the worst possible start.
They trailed 1-0 to Kairat Nurdauletov's first-half strike with just two minutes of normal time remaining when Keane drew them level for the penalty spot to set the stage for Kevin Doyle to win it at the death.
However, Beranek is adamant that revenge will not be on his mind in Dublin.
He said: "I wouldn't say that in this match, we are talking about revenge, but of course we would like to get the most points we can in order to finish as well as possible.
"This game is going to be about the national pride of the team. Of course we will be trying our best in order to achieve the best possible result for the team because we are very proud that we are taking part in this game.
"We will be doing everything possible to defend ourselves."

In response to Qainat Zaman ("Muslim American Society would do much good on Island," Your Opinion, June 14]:
You sound like a very nice young man. There are seven mosques on Staten Island for you to utilize. I want you to understand that the people of Midland Beach are protesting the mosque because of the location. It is highly congested already and we cannot handle more cars and traffic.
I hope you will continue to believe in your modern ways and keep your ties with God.

Nini's Glamour, Nacogdoches TX This is the final product from Nini's modern beauty makeover shoot on the day she got the call from Montana State. Yes, we celebrate good news with a photoshoot! I shared the before and after version a couple of days ago, and mentioned that I would use it to market this style of shoot. But what should I call this shoot? Sue Bryce calls this style "glamour." But she's from New Zealand and maybe hasn't noticed how bad of a name "glamour shots" have in the US. So if not a glamour portrait, what would you call it? I've been calling it "modern beauty makeover," but I'd love to hear other suggestions. This photo was shot with only natural light and I did the retouching in Photoshop using Sue's two minute rule. But of course the retouching actually took me 10 minutes instead of two. I'll get my time down eventually! I've shot two weddings in the last two days! I'm wiped! Critiques are always welcome.

The author was inspired by this detail of Manhattan from a British Headquarters Map drawn during the American Revolution, c. 1780. It provided a clear view of the natural landscape of the island before the shores were expanded, hills were levelled and streams and wetlands were buried under.
The author and illustrator laid a modern road grid of the city over the British Headquarters Map. Note that many of the old roads line up with the modern ones. Also of interest is the expansion of the shoreline.
On another map, the author and illustrator added the city's modern building footprint to 18th-century British map.
Another view of Manhattan then and how. In 1609, between 300 and 1,200 people lived on the island. Today it is home to millions.
The West Side then (hills and marshes) and now (Battery Park City and the West Side Highway).
Beavers were once abundant along the shores of Manhattan and are still found on seal of New York City.
Northern Mannahatta/Manhattan, where some of the original forest is still intact.
Lower Manhattan: The Collect Pond seen on the "before" picture on the left was the most important natural feature of the area. Its remnants now lie under Canal Street, which itself lies on top of the canal built to drain the pond.

The Upper East Side and Harlem: In the picture on the left, the native people of Mannahatta, the Lenape tribe, burn a swath of land to prepare it for farming and hunting.

BRIDGEWATER -- Township Resident Meena Shah (left) and Mayor Patricia Flannery join John Murphy, senior vice president of sales for Seventh Generation, at the entrance to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified municipal building to celebrate Green Your Town Day, Nov. 18.
The entrance was ceremonially changed to Green Street for the day in honor of the township's commitment to green practices.
Shah received a $10,000 green home makeover and 1,000 township residents received green home kits worth $55 each as part of a Green Your Town promotion by the Burlington, Vt. company. Seventh Generation sells environmentally friendly household and personal care products.
Bridgewater received Seventh Generation's recognition due to its "responsibility to the environment," and for its dedication to supporting a green, healthy lifestyle, according to company officials.

He works 50 hours a week, instead of the 80 he once did, and his sons, Todd and Adam, are now largely running the construction business which bears the family name.
This week the company will be honored by the Chicopee Chamber of Commerce as its "business of the year" at the chamber's annual Shining Stars Awards banquet on Friday at the Castle of Knights.
Ted Ondrick Co., with offices at 22 Industry Road and 240 Chicopee St., was founded in 1937 by Ted Ondrick Sr. to provide construction services to the community.
The family-run business was selected as this year's honoree by the chamber in recognition of its long history, enormous growth and for its contribution to the community, said Gail A. Sherman, chamber president.The founder's motto was that each client was a neighbor and was to be treated with honesty and integrity.
"Ted Jr. joined his father, bringing a wealth of civil engineering ingenuity to the company," Sherman said. "Construction materials came from their sand and gravel quarry. Processes were initiated which allowed the community to recycle, rather than landfill. Federal laws were implemented that raised community awareness of environmental stewardship. Ted Ondrick became the resource to help implement recycling."
A modest Ondrick said the recognition is a "great thing." "It's great encouragement for my boys and the business," he said.
The firm, which has 30 employees, works throughout New England.
He and his wife, Pamela, also have two daughters, Amanda Allen, of Tampa, Fla., and Ashley, a student at the Culinary Institute of America, as well as a third son, Alexie, now a student in business management at Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, who also plans to join the family business.
Sherman noted the Ondrick company's services have evolved over the years to include asphalt paving, contaminated soil remediation, portable washing and crushing of materials.
The most recent division is ONE - Ondrick Natural Earth - which added residential landscape construction services that include decorative stone and pavers.
"Add good corporate citizen and community mindedness, and it is no surprise that this company deserves to be recognized as business of the year," Sherman said.
The company has constructed athletic fields for the Pioneer Valley Christian School and additions for the Evangelical Convenant Church in Springfield, has taught girls, boys and adult programs in the Christian Service Brigade, and has volunteered services to Sunshine Village, Litwin School, the Chicopee Boys & Girls Club, Chicopee Golf Course and Lorraine's Soup Kitchen.
Other family charities include the Springfield Rescue Mission, the Lion's Den and the Pregnancy Crisis Center, all in Springfield.
Ondrick said his firm put up the boards at the Fred R. Krampits Skating Arena, built a skateboard park at the Chicopee Boys & Girls Club, built parking lots at various area churches and donated basketball courts at several area sites.
Along with the business of the year award, the chamber will also present its annual citizen and volunteer of the year awards.
Due to be recognized as the chamber's volunteer of the year is Michelle Sade, who is operations manager with United Personnel. She is a member of the chamber's Ambassadors' Club, its manufacturing coalition and has served on the chamber board.
As citizens of the year, the chamber will be honoring all branches of the military which serve in Western Massachusetts, including Chicopee's own 439th Airlift Wing of the Air Reserve and other Army, Navy and Marine Reserve and military units serving at Westover and the Air National Guard's 104th Fighter Wing from Westfield.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A fire that appears to have started along the exterior of a Southeast Side duplex in Grand Rapids early today caused extensive damage to the home.
Grand Rapids firefighters responded just after 5 a.m. to 1607 Francis Ave. SE on a report of a fire.
Fire authorities said it appears flames started at the back of the house, outside, then traveled up the side of the house and into the attic.
The lower portion of the duplex sustained significant smoke and water damage, firefighters said, while the attic was heavily damaged by fire.
Firefighters were investigating the blaze as possibly suspicious. No one was hurt and everyone inside the structure made it out safely.

Doug Newson, the Charlottetown Airport Authority's CEO
Authority says 2013 numbers matched record highs from year before and big numbers expected for 2014 anniversary year
Passenger traffic at the Charlottetown Airport matched a record high in 2013.
According to the airport authority, traffic in 2013 matched the airport's record year in.
"Through the first six months of 2013 we experienced a small decrease in passenger traffic," says Doug Newson, CEO of the authority. "Traffic was strong during the busy tourism season from July to September, which allowed us to finish the year very close to our record numbers in 2012."
A total of 296,301 passengers arrived and departed at the airport last year, a decline of only .3 per cent from 2012's record year. This was achieved with four per cent fewer scheduled seats available to and from the airport.
Air traveller research conducted throughout 2013 showed that residents of P.E.I. accounted for almost 60 per cent of the airport's passenger traffic.
"More Islanders are flying more often," says Newson. "And we certainly thank all Islanders for their continued support and for understanding the importance that the airport has on our local economy."
Looking ahead to this year, Newson is excited that Charlottetown Airport is a major partner with P.E.I. 2014 Inc. as they look to capitalize on what is expected to be a big year for tourism.
The airport's major airline partners, Air Canada and WestJet, have responded to demands for more seat capacity, boosting the number of scheduled seats by eight percent between July and August.
Air Canada will be reinstating daily non-stop service to Ottawa on June 1, while WestJet recently announced that its second daily flight in the peak summer will be a larger aircraft compared to last year.
Delta Air Lines will also be back with non-stop service from New York City's JFK International Airport, starting July 1.
"It's great news for P.E.I. that our airline partners are sharing our optimism for air travel demand this summer to Prince Edward Island," says Newson. "We have been asking for more capacity and are grateful for their ongoing commitment to our community."
For the current winter season, Sunwing is currently offering non-stop service to Cayo Coco, Cuba every Tuesday until early May.

OMG! A DREAM COME TRUE! I was shaking, clapping, and crying! OH MY GOD, THANK YOU ALISSA! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! She's done it!!
someone call the ambulance because i am about to faint. Alyssa.
The GUTS to land that 3loop . . . HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE DO THAT?!
Yes! Wow! I was like, one jump at a time. She really did seem cool, and she didn't let that one rough jump frazzle her. I am so proud of Alissa. Hope it's enough for the win.
can't read or write - but to say, talking about a LP that goes by in a blink of an eye. wow.
What a beautiful performance from Alissa!
Alissa... Oh I love her! She BETTER make the bloody Worlds Team and give a reason to watch the competition.
Old Alissa would have given up on that loop.
Good for her!
I chanted please don't splat at the screen before she skated. Looks like Alissa heard me! Now I'm hoping there aren't too many fatal UR calls...
I am speechless and in tears. Thanks goodness. I love you Alissa!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for not retiring. Oh my god I'm just .....
I realise why I love Alyssa's LP so much. It's like water, the soothing quality and the slurred notes. Her dress accompanies the music just so well. A brilliant performance, only a slight error on the Lo. Hopefully no underrotations.
My oh my, I think Alyssa is going to worlds! I don't think Rach can beat that skate, we'll have to see.

The pension reform bills recently signed into law by Gov. Chris Christie move New Jersey closer to the fiscal sanity that has eluded the state for decades. And while these were historic strides, the Legislature should take even bigger steps, as the governor has asked.
The new laws roll back a 9 percent pension increase — irresponsibly granted in 2001 under Gov. Donald DiFrancesco. But the reform rescinds that raise only for new hires. Current employees can continue to stockpile pension credits under the more generous terms of the DiFrancesco Debacle.
That has to change. Labor contracts must be respected, and any credits already accumulated must be honored. But the state can pass a law to end this higher pension rate once current contracts expire. This perk should end, even for current employees.
The reforms also cap payments of accrued sick leave for future workers at $15,000, which means newly hired cops and firefighters won't eventually walk away with six-figure golden parachutes that make taxpayers hyperventilate today.
That's good, but again, the measure didn't go far enough — because it preserves the status quo for current employees. Under these reforms, a police officer or firefighter already on the payroll can keep banking sick and vacation pay with no limits. The huge payouts will continue for decades.
And why not eliminate this benefit altogether, rather than cap it? Private-sector workers generally can't redeem sick and vacation days, so why should public-sector workers?
If the Legislature insists on preserving this benefit, the banked time should at least be redeemed at the wage it was earned. A rookie cop's sick days shouldn't be cashed in, decades later, at the salary level of a senior officer. The law also should require that a manager outside the department keep track of accrued time. Police chiefs and other officers retiring with large payouts should not keep their own records.
These pension reforms will save billions over the long term. It's a good start for a state that appeared paralyzed by politics and the enormity of its fiscal problems.
But there is more money just sitting on the table.

Seeding Space
|Miami University botany professor John Kiss with seed cassette experimental containers.
Credit: Miami University
When shuttle Discovery launches July 1, it will carry the continuing research of botanist John Kiss to study if and how well plants can be grown in microgravity. Kiss' project is one of only two experiments launched on Discovery that will be performed on the International Space Station at this time.
NASA has awarded Kiss more than $1 million over the past six years for "Tropi, Analysis of a Novel Sensory Mechanism in Root Phototropism," an experiment to study how plant roots respond to varying levels of both light and gravity.
Insights gained from Tropi can help create sustainable plant-based life support systems for long-term space missions, part of NASA's exploration agenda. Plants will be needed as a food source and as oxygen producers on long-range trips to Mars, for example.
Tropi consists of dry Arabidopsis thaliana – thale cress – seeds stored in small seed cassettes, Kiss explained. The seed cassettes will be flown inside the European Modular Cultivation System, an experiment facility for biological investigations under microgravity.
A 655-pound incubator, EMCS provides control over atmosphere, lighting and humidity of growth chambers. Tropi will be the first experiment performed in the EMCS, which was developed by ESA. The experimental containers were developed by Kiss' group at Miami University of Ohio and NASA, based on a design by project co-principal investigator Richard Edelmann, director of Miami's electron microscopy facility.
Discovery will deliver supplies, equipment and a new crew member – ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter – to the ISS. Once on board, Tropi experiments will be performed automatically inside the EMCS, requiring minimal involvement by the Expedition 13 crew members.
|Can humans someday make Mars our home away from home?
According to Kiss, spaceflight procedures require loading the ECs into the EMCS, replacing videotapes and harvesting plants when they are grown. Harvested plants will be stored in the Minus Eighty Degree Laboratory Freezer until their return to Earth.
When the samples from Tropi arrive back on Earth – estimated to be by the end of the year – data analysis will begin. Plant germination, growth and curvature will be analyzed from the videotapes, and DNA analysis will be conducted on the frozen plant samples to determine how the different light and gravity treatments affect gene expression.
Kiss and Edelmann also had experiments on gravitropism – how plants respond to gravity – on two space shuttle missions in 1997.
Plants may be able to be used in bioregenerative life support on Mars, Kiss said. They can be engineered to grow under the stresses of long-term space flight such as water deficits and high ethylene concentrations, or under stresses unique to other planets such as Mars.
Coincidentally, just last week, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking stated in a lecture in Hong Kong that for the survival of the species, humans should develop space settlements that can continue without support from Earth.

Library of Congress To Exhibit American Prints and Drawings
Visitors to the Library of Congress this fall have an unparalleled opportunity to view outstanding examples of realist graphic art in the Great Hall, South Gallery of the Jefferson Building. The exhibition, "Life of the People: Realist Prints and Drawings from the Ben and Beatrice Goldstein Collection, 1912-1948," includes 55 works on paper by leading North American artists. Curated by Harry L. Katz, the Library's Curator of Popular and Applied Graphic Art, the exhibition opens on October 20 and closes on January 29, 2000. The gallery, adjacent to the Great Hall in the Jefferson Building, is open to the public free of charge from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Labor advocate and garment manufacturer Ben Goldstein, with the support of his wife Beatrice, left to the Library of Congress -- and the nation -- a collection of American prints and drawings informed by a sympathy for the condition of working people. A native New Yorker, he collected over decades works that stirred his personal interest in the city of his birth, the American people, and the human condition. His concerns encompassed a broad spectrum of social and political issues that touched on life in urban centers and in rural areas, American labor and industry, and the experience and achievements of minority groups.
Along with landmark images in the history of American political art, Ben Goldstein assembled outstanding holdings of works by creators who shared his social concerns. Among these artists were women, African Americans, and the Mexican muralists who were so influential at the time. The collection is particularly rich in images from the 1930s, when the turmoil and uncertainty of the Depression led increasing numbers of artists to turn toward socially relevant subject matter. Their images include moving portraits, scathing satires, haunting images of social ills, and more lighthearted depictions of life in the first half of the 20th century.
The collection represents the legacy of realist artists Robert Henri, John Sloan, and Thomas Hart Benton, under whom many of the artists in the exhibition studied and who stood as advocates of representational art. These artists rejected abstraction -- in spite of its growing influence in America -- as irrelevant and inaccessible. Their empathetic depictions of ordinary men and women enduring or enjoying their everyday lives expressed the pain and rare pleasures experienced by Americans during a period that witnessed two world wars and a devastating economic depression. Artists used their art to fight for civil rights and against social or economic injustice. In a time of almost universal hardship, their images conveyed understanding.
From the diverse wealth of images, themes, and techniques represented in the Goldstein Collection, Mr. Katz has selected 59 prints and drawings, including notable works by such major figures as Stuart Davis, John Sloan, George Bellows, Thomas Hart Benton, and Isabel Bishop, as well as the work of such lesser-known artists as Blanche Grambs, Elizabeth Olds, Lamar Baker, and Prentiss Taylor. An exhibition catalog with essays by Garnett McCoy and Bernard F. Reilly Jr. and edited by Mr. Katz is available for $19.95 from the Library of Congress Sales Shop (credit card orders: 202-707-0204). It reproduces every object in the exhibition, and includes interpretive captions and biographical information about each artist.
More information on the Library of Congress' print and drawing collections is available through the Swann Foundation's Web site: www.loc.gov/rr/print/swann/swannhome.html, by e-mailing: [email protected], or by calling Sara Duke, Curatorial Project Assistant at (202) 707-9115 or Harry Katz at (202) 707-8696.

The draft uses the real draft order and remains true to real team needs.
Here is my favorite part of the draft. As Tirico Suave points out...
"In order to be eligible for this draft a player must have maintained his or her amateur status, so you won't find Paul Crewe, Willie Beamon or any other fictional pros on this list."
I think the Ravens got a real steal with Uncle Rico at pick # 8.

GRAND RAPIDS -- "American Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez almost stole the spotlight from the 12 female vocalists Wednesday night by wearing a stunning silver dress by Pamella Roland, a.k.a. Grand Rapids native Pamella DeVos.
The one-shouldered embroidered dress with an asymmetrical hem line is featured on the main page of the Pamella Roland website.
The dress comes from the designer's Spring 2011 Collection.
Lopez coupled the look with more casual over-the-knee stiletto boots.
The actress and musician must be on a silver kick, since she wore a reflective Emilio Pucci mini to this year's Grammys.
