Catholics At Work
Over a lifetime, work is the single most energy- and time-consuming pursuit of most adults today, for both men and women. Work, whether paid or unpaid, is also a source of identity, community, creativity and meaning for many. The phrase meaningful work has been used to describe socially redemptive jobs like social work, church work and health care, as well as government, science and engineering jobs that attempt to solve social problems. But the term can be misleading. For honest work itself has meanings that go beyond the economic necessity to support oneself, one's family and the local economy. Work develops and hones skills, builds character, frames time and sets up a public rhythm. Work challenges assumptions and faith.
How, exactly, does work intersect with faith? The particularities may depend on the work itself.
We have asked practicing Catholics across a variety of fields to describe briefly how they regard their faith and their work when they consider them together. What is the interplay between the two? In what ways has their faith influenced their work—perhaps strengthened certain decisions they have made, governed relationships with clients or co-workers, been instrumental in their very choice of what work to do, given them tenacity and hope, shaped their positive view of the work they do? Just as important is this twin consideration: In what ways has their work influenced their faith—perhaps caused them to understand some particular tennet, sparked certain questions or reflections, enabled them to see in their very own lives some contemporary application of biblical truths or ancient Christian wisdom?
In this, America's annual vocation issue, we present the first in an occasional series of short pieces that will feature workers' thoughtful reflections. We invite readers to tell us about their own experiences of faith and work.

Defending champion Graeme McDowell was six shots off leader Kevin Stadler after a round of 70 of the French Open
Stadler said all the right things after carding a flawless 64 to claim the lead after the opening round of the Alstom Open de France at Le Golf National.
Masters champion Bubba Watson created a poor impression of Americans abroad after playing the tournament in 2011, describing the Eiffel Tower as "that big tower", the Louvre as the "building starting with an L", the Arc de Triomphe as "this arch I drove round in a circle" and the Versailles Palace as "the castle we're staying next to" during his brief trip.
But Stadler staged something of a charm offensive after carding seven birdies and no bogeys to lead by one from Germany's Marcel Siem, with Scotland's Stephen Gallacher a shot further back on five under.
Damien McGrane (level), Peter Lawrie (+1), Gareth Maybin (+2), David Hoey (+2), Padraig Harrington (+3), Kevin Phelan (+5), Simon Thornton (+6) and David Higgins (+8) are also in action.
"It's one of my best rounds of the year for sure"
"It's one of my best rounds of the year for sure," said Stadler, who won his maiden PGA Tour title in the Phoenix Open in February and was half of the first father-son pairing to play in the same Masters with his father Craig in April.
"To not make a bogey out there is something I didn't think was possible when I first played it. It's instantly one of my favourite courses ever, I thought it was spectacular from hole one to the end. They talk about the last four holes but they are doing a discredit to the previous 14.
"I have always wanted to come over here, the guys in the US tell me it's one of the best events of the year and it has not let me down. It has been fantastic."
Ryder Cup hopeful Gallacher was left to rue a poor finish despite carding an opening 66, the Scot looking set to challenge the course record of 62 when he covered his first 14 holes in seven under par and then hit a superb approach to five feet on the sixth.
However, the world number 37 missed that birdie opportunity and then dropped shots on the seventh and ninth after missing the green with his approach each time.
Gallacher is currently outside the automatic qualifying places for September's contest at Gleneagles, which is just 35 miles from his home in Linlithgow.
But he will not get the chance to impress European captain Paul McGinley in person this week, the Dubliner pulling out of the event with a shoulder injury.
"I missed a putt to go eight under and didn't do too much wrong on the last couple of holes, but that's what this course can do," Gallacher said. "I'll still take two (shots) better than my previous best in this event."
Speaking about Ryder Cup qualification and the run of big-money events coming up, Gallacher added: "It's a massive run. The thing I have to try to do is play my golf and not think about it really.
"I'm trying not to be too outcome-orientated, just think of what I'm doing on the course and hopefully it's good enough."
Siem was in the group ahead of Gallacher and experienced starkly contrasting fortunes on the closing stretch, playing his final four holes in five shots fewer thanks to a hat-trick of birdies from the sixth.
"I always enjoy coming back here, I love the track and had a good start this morning," Siem told Sky Sports. "The putts finally started dropping, last week my putting was horrible, so I am really pleased."
Siem's wife gave birth to their second child last week and the 33-year-old German admitted he was feeling the effects of coping with his enlarged family.
"I was really tired," added the 2012 champion, who overcame a dreaded 'shank' on the second hole and also bogeyed the 18th after finding water with his approach.
"I can't wait to go to bed. I said that to my caddie on the third hole, I need to get my batteries loaded up."
US Open champion Martin Kaymer recovered from dropping three shots in his first two holes to card a 72.

Landlord Loopholes: Issues To Consider When Renting An Apartment
There are plenty of ways an independent landlord could get over on you as a tenant. Knowing your rights as a tenant could pay off big and protect you from a money-hungry landlord. Perfect example of this: A 30-year old Harlem, NY tenant is paying only $1 a month (yes, only $1!) for his two-bedroom apartment because of a loophole he found that his landlord did not overturn, DNAinfo New York online reported.
Make sure you are well-informed and knowledgeable about these main factors of renting from an owner before it becomes an financial and legal issue.
Angry Landlord Calls The Po Po On Kenya Moore As She Moves Out
Just when we thought we heard the last of Kenya Moore's landlord eviction drama, more mess hit the fan. This week has been a triumphant one for the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who celebrated a courtroom victory after an Atlanta judge threw out her eviction judgement.
"Today's victory proves that celebrities can fight back and not be victimized by people who wish to lie about them and use their name for the sake of publicity," Moore said of her legal win.
With the exception of a countersuit filed by the beauty-queen-turned-reality-star, we figured things would sort of die down between Moore and her landlord, but that definitely hasn't been the case. According to Radar Online, Kenya decided to move out of the home voluntarily in what appeared to be an attempt to avoid anymore conflict. Too bad her plan backfired.
The way the story is being told, Bravo TV cameras were filming 42-year-old Moore as she packed her belongings to move out of the six-bedroom Rosewell home when the police arrived on the scene!
"There were camera crews filming Kenya's departure for an episode of Housewives," an eyewitness revealed.
According to the onlooker, the landlord called authorities to the scene because Kenya didn't request approval to film on the property.
"The landlord called the police because Kenya should not be on the property, nor did she give permission for anyone to be filming," an eyewitness revealed."
This is the second time the police were called to the home in the past 72 hours. There was no word on what happened once authorities arrived on the scene, but hopefully we'll get to see during the upcoming season of the show.

A Blow To The Pockets: Tameka Raymond Ordered To Pay Over $200K To Former Landlord
It seems that whenever Tameka Raymond gets in front of a judge, the outcome is usually never in her favor.
You might not remember but back in October, Tameka Raymond and her former landlord were in a court battle over rent Tameka allegedly owned for her three rental spaces where she operated the kids indoor play center, Kangazoom. At the time, the landlord said she owed about $50,000 in back rent.
Well, according to TMZ, a judge ruled in the landlord's favor and Tameka was order to pay…$204,665.15. The total includes 18,628.65 in attorney fees and $186,036.50 in principal.
Seeing as though Tameka only originally owed $50,000 on the rent bill, one can only assume the months following were also included because that is a huge jump in figures.
Tameka really just can never win in court. One of the last times she was in court, a judge ruled that her ex-husband, Usher, would retain primary custody of their two children. So yes, things have not been easier for her over the last year.
On a positive note, Tameka has been able to start the Kiles World Foundation, named after her late son who was killed in a boating accident last year. The goal of the non-profit foundation is to help artistic children reach their full potential.
TMZ was unable to get an answer as to why the financial judgment was so high.

What's Mine is Ours: Nine Ways To Handle Finances With Roommates
Maybe you don't have the luxury of your own apartment or home at the moment, especially with the economy's job market and the rising living costs in many metropolitan cities. Even in college, many of us have lived in a roommate situation, where things like space, bills, and finances are shared amongst two, three or even four other people.
If you are preparing yourself to live in a roommate-style situation or already found yourself living with others, make sure you keep in mind a few tips on how to handle the finances of this tricky living situation.
Landlord Calls Mo'Nique and Her Husband Broke Weed Smokers in Battle Over Unpaid Rent
Legal battles with landlords never tend to go well, particularly for the tenants, but the fight Mo'Nique, her husband Sidney, and one of their landlord's, Alice, are involved in is just hitting all below the belt.
Last year, Mo'Nique's landlord filed a lawsuit against her saying she owed $370,000 in unpaid rent for bailing on the two-year, $20,000/month lease agreement she signed for the Georgia property in March 2011. The couple immediately shot back with a suit of their own, demanding they be let out of their contract because the home smelled of dog feces, wet dog, and urine, plus there was an overflowing septic tank. They also said they had a verbal agreement to be let out of the contract with 60 days notice because of all the problems, and accused the landlord of backtracking. Well now they're doing a lot more than that.
A new set of documents has been filed in the case, including a string of nasty emails sent between the parties. Sidney said the landlord should be embarrassed by the home she was leasing, and Alice said the couple is just embarrassed that they can't afford the rent, writing:
"We do understand that your business has been greatly affected by the cancellation of your weekly talk show. However we do not want the publicity and heartache/hardship for either of us."
That was the last diplomatic approach to the issue because when Sidney said Alice "has a poor man's mentality," adding "you talk tough when you are owed but run when you owe," the landlord said this about the allegations of odor in the home:
"Maybe the illegal substances you use in our home (i.e. WEED) has weakened your sense of smell."
Don't think Sidney didn't have a comeback. He shot down the landlord's comment immediately with this:
"The only illegal greenery was with the illegal immigrant you brought on our premises to cut down the trees … Maybe the overuse of alcohol has affected you and your husband's judgment."
They are out.of.control. According to TMZ, this banter goes on for 136 pages so you can only imagine how much nastier both sides got as time went on. I wonder who's telling the truth with this one.

Black Women Face High Eviction Rates
High rent prices and high unemployment often spells eviction; especially for low-income black single mothers in urban neighborhoods. Property owners are paying big time in their efforts to dispose of their tenant's belongings, and according to the Associated Press, moving and storage companies are reaping all the benefits.
"The odds of a woman being evicted in black neighborhoods is twice that of men," Matthew Desmond, a sociologist from the University of Wisconsin-Madison said to the Associated Press. "Just as incarceration has become typical in the lives of poor black men, eviction has become typical in the lives of poor black women."
Desmond led a study in Milwaukee that found that in majority black neighborhoods, one in 10 renter households is evicted.
It's a growing misfortune that has property owners spending millions of dollars a year on evictions.
Property owners may pay about 2500 to evacuate a two-bedroom apartment, according to moving company owner Eli Navon. Job prices vary as movers must pack up everything including the garbage, as they are not allowed to throw anything out. When the tenant is not in the home, some companies choose to take their time, earning more money as they are paid by the hour.
Eviction moving does not come without its risks. Mirtal, of White Glove Moving & Storage told the Associated Press that once time he and his fellow movers were met "with bats and chains" and were told that they were evicting a friend.
In addition to paying for the movers' services, property owners than must pay for a storage unit to hold the displaced belongings for 30 days. Owners that choose to hire a lawyer to resolve the matter completely take on even more costs.
Evictions become a heavy burden for both the tenant and the property owner, for the moving and storage companies who find themselves in between the drama, making money off of other people's unhappiness has never been more profitable.

How to be a Good Tenant in Your New Place
Eagerly awaiting your next move, you found a rental home well-suited for you at a bargained price! The luxury in renting your own place from a landlord affords high quality living, amenities and an ideal location near suburbia or the city. The stipulations that come with becoming a tenant involve adhering to a lease and providing other non-refundable items while properly caring for the interior and sometimes, the exterior of the space. A good landlord will be evaluating you to see that you follow through on these terms, so here's what you should do and expect from your prospective humble abode.
How to Negotiate a Lease
(Entrepreneur.com) — This year may be the best time ever to rent space to start your own business: The nation's 102,000 shopping centers are dotted with vacancies that landlords are desperate to fill. "I've never seen better deals," says Paul G.W. Fetscher, president of Great American Brokerage in Long Beach, N.Y. "Everything is negotiable."
But knowing what to negotiate is surprisingly complicated. Landlords may be anxious to fill empty spaces, but they're also eager to make up for the money they've lost during the recession, and, unless you're careful, that bargain lease you sign today can be filled with hidden charges, escalating fees and clauses that kick in when you'd least expect it.

Government Contracts a Lesson in Patience
(WSJ.com) — Like many business owners who have suffered during the downturn, Randy Lebolo decided the most reliable client for his small construction firm would be Uncle Sam.
When the real-estate market was in free fall nearly two years ago, Mr. Lebolo decided to shave staff, negotiate with his landlord for a lower lease, and begin the long process of becoming certified to bid on federal work opportunities. He finally won his first government contract recently to remodel a courtroom in a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., courthouse. But the job pays just $250,000, not nearly the lucrative amount Mr. Lebolo—who says his Boynton Beach, Fla., firm had a history of multimillion-dollar commercial construction jobs before the downturn—thought he'd land.

Wrubleski Leads Women's Prestige Cycling SeriesCourtesy David LaPorteMara Abbott (High Road) seemed well on her way to defending her double win of the Individual and Best Young Rider classifications in the 2007 Women's Prestige Cycling Series at the 2008 Series kickoff at the Redlands Bicycle Classic. She cruised to an impressive 25 second win in an 11 minute time trial on the opening day. Alex Wrubleski (Webcor) narrowed the gap from 29 to 19 seconds with a second place finish in the Beaumont Circuit race, moving from 5th to 3rd overall. Then another second place in the Redlands criterium brought her to 2nd overall, within 11 seconds of Abbott. Wrubleski delivered the coup de gras at the Sunset Road Race, where her win gave her a one second margin over Abbott."With a history of close finishes at Redlands (a one-second win in 2005 as well), Webcor devised a gutsy plan of attack to risk it all for the win rather then defend Alex's second place", wrote team director Karen Brems in a post-race E mail. "This success came despite having four riders suffer broken bones in the last six week."Wrubleski's win, and the steady way she did it by strong performances in three consecutive stages of the Redlands Bicycle Classic, have marked the young Canadian as the rider to watch in the North American women's circuit for 2008. And the rider for the future, possibly challenging the rock star status that Abbott achieved in the 2008 season.Wrubleski's dominance is emphasized by the number of jerseys that she claimed on that fateful Sunday at Redlands. By the time the podium ceremonies were complete, she was wearing the Redlands leader's, sprinter's and climber's jerseys along with the individual, best young rider and sprinter's jerseys for the Women's Prestige Cycling Series.The current leaders in the Women's Prestige Cycling Series are:Individual Classification1.

Nothing's better than smug dorks getting their comeuppance. Here's a great one:
Our old buddy WFAN's Sweeny Murti has been covering the Yankees practically since I knew him in the early '90s as a Penn State student. Nobody knows the NYY beat as cold as the Middletown High grad. Plus, he mixes in the odd pop culture reference or archival story and his delivery is always lively.
So, Murti threw out the old Animal House quote from John Belushi in describing the Yankees' tenuous midseason plight during a 2009 SNY talk show appearance: "Over? It's not over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" Which was, in case you're hopelessly pop-culturally challenged, a reference to character Bluto Blutarsky's insufficient schooling at Faber College. The hosts laughed. Everyone knew the line.
You'd guess 6 of 10 Americans would probably recognize this unavoidable 35-year-old cinematic chestnut. But not the brother/sister author team of Ross and Kathryn Petras who, as you can see here, look like they've been spraying Windex on cuts their entire lives. The siblings have made their living from mocking public figures' stupidity. I guess that's fine if you're an accomplished snob from the Gore Vidal template. But these people publish thought-a-day calendars and list books out of some hovel in the West Village.
So, it was with their latest desk calendar offering, "The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said, 2012." Somebody sent them Murti's Blutarsky reference. And they took it literally, discrediting Murti with moron status and making it the Dec. 7 quote in their indispensable gift idea.
If the Petrases were a couple of snarky little 24-year-old Columbia grads, I'd get it. But these people are clearly in their 50s. Then again, Ross looks like he might've been on the couch with Jugdish, Mohammet and Lonny.
Murti told me this morning he has neither been contacted by the Petrases (Petri?) nor has he seen fit to "reach out" to them, even though he has their contact info: "At this point, I don't feel like it's necessary."
That's because the couple is now getting buried under a rightful heap of online condescension. I say it's a great time for holiday pile jumping! Follow the Petrases at their ironically named Twitter account @TeamStupidest (they have 69 followers) and join in. Who's with me?! Aaaaayyy!

Jordan, NY -- The Jordan-Elbridge schools' superintendent will tell the school board Wednesday it should reject an offer to settle a lawsuit with the district's former director of operations.
The lawyer representing Paula VanMinos has proposed the district settle the litigation by paying her $168,000, a little more than half the $308,000 she contends she was guaranteed in her contract.
"My recommendation for the board is to reject the proposal," said Superintendent Jim Froio said. Froio said VanMinos' settlement should be for no money. "I think zero would be fair," he said.
Papers the school district filed earlier this month contend VanMinos and former interim Superintendent Lawrence Zacher were having an affair when the two used deception to sneak a lucrative contract for VanMinos past school board members.
A May 15 story in The Post-Standard revealed the details of VanMinos' revised contract. It noted a clause that guaranteed her $308,000 if the board failed to grant her tenure.
The story said VanMinos had spent some nights at Zacher's Skaneateles apartment. The overnight stays took place in the weeks before Zacher recommended VanMinos' contract to the board Feb 2. Zacher signed it the next day. VanMinos' lawyer, Harris Lindenfeld, was not immediately available for comment.
The Jordan-Elbridge board of education will vote Wednesday night on a resolution that calls for rejecting the settlement offer. The board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the large group instruction room at Ramsdell Middle School in Jordan.

MENTOR, Ohio -- The Mentor Public Library's new Monday University Program Series highlights the Cleveland Orchestra and its Aug. 11 Blossom Festival performance with a lecturer Monday at its main branch.
"We're going to have the Cleveland Orchestra Music Study Group Lecturer Dr. Rose Breckenridge to preview musical excerpts from Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto," said library Community Outreach Coordinator Barbara Vendeville. "She's going to provide biographical information about the composer. Patrons are going to learn about the concert with other music lovers in an informal setting in a library. It's going to be educational with audio excerpts of different performances."
In partnership with the Mentor Arts Commission, the Monday series, which provides culture, music and art to the community, previously showcased the Cleveland Orchestra featuring chamber music with the violin, viola and cello.
While the upcoming evening won't include live music, an audio recording of a Cleveland Orchestra performance will be played.
"This presentation, geared to both new and experienced music lovers, will include background [information] of compositions, plus guided listening to musical excerpts," said Breckenridge, a regular speaker at Severance Hall. "Learn about the concert with other music lovers in an informal setting."
The Aug. 11 performance at Blossom Music Center, situated on 800 acres of rolling hills adjacent to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, features world-renowned young pianist Yuja Wang.
The average Monday University Program event attracts roughly 20 people.
"These types of programs are well attended and are also in keeping with our strategic plan service point, which is lifelong learning," Vendeville said. "We hope they come away with a better appreciation for the arts and music and maybe pursue those interests with other venues in the community. This is more than music. It's cultural. It's art."
The Mentor Public Library's Monday University Program Series highlighting the Cleveland Orchestra's Aug. 11 Blossom Festival performance will be at 7 p.m. Monday at the Mentor Public Library, 8215 Mentor Ave., Mentor. For more information, call 440-255-8811, ext. 215 or register online.

I am in the market for a bike carrier that will fit on my Chevy Traverse. I was wondering if anyone in the club had any recomendations on one.
Thule T2 works great for me. Comparable to Yakima Holdup. Very secure and wont mark up the bikes.
Chevy Traverse is pretty much the same layout as our Buick Enclave. We did a u-haul hitch (in-expensive and they install) and a Saris Thelma-3 bike rack (they also have a 2 bike model.) It is light weight (read ease of installation for muscular and non-muscular family members) and never contacts the frame. It has an optional juvenile conversion (smaller wheel tray) that you can purchase if necessary. When the rack is in the position to load bikes you can open the tailgate, which is nice as you don't have to take the rack on and off to get into the back of the car.
See link--->
I am in love with my Rocky Mounts TieRod. Very simple, you can buy as many as you want and add whenever you want, it fits on pretty much anything, and holds pretty much any size bike. I've driven on the highway all day with a couple bikes locked in up there and they barely even moved. Also available in many neat colors (Mine are pink, but perhaps that isn't your thing). Also, the lock is easy to use and locks the bike down at the fork...would not be easy to steal.
Good luck!
I'm in the market for a bike rack as well. One of my concerns is storing the rack when I'm not using it. I have a smallish apartment in the city and storage is at a premium. I've thought about going the roof rack route, but having to find parking outside of the garage while I went to go get my bike seems like a major PITA so I'd like to go the hitch route. Does anyone know of a local store that has a good selection so that I can actually look at them?

Water Operations
U.S. Department
of the Interior
The Baker Project in east-central Oregon consists of two divisions, the Lower and the Upper. The Lower Division provides a supplemental water supply for about 7,300 acres along the Powder River about 10 miles northeast of Baker, Oregon. The Upper Division provides supplemental water for 19,000 acres, including some contiguous areas previously dry-farmed near the city of Baker.
Return to top
Mason Dam is a rolled-earth and rockfill structure 173 feet in height with a crest length of 895 feet. Phillips Lake, impounded behind the dam, covers 2,235 acres and has a total capacity of 95,500 acre-feet (active 90,500 acre-feet).
The main Lilley Pumping Plant, consisting of four vertical-shaft turbine-type pumps with a total capacity of 68 cubic feet per second, serves 3,450 acres with water.
The Lilley Relift Plant has three vertical-shaft mixed flow pumps totaling 34 cubic feet per second and capable of serving 670 acres.
Operating Agencies
The Lower Division is operated by the Lower Powder River Irrigation District and the Upper Division by the Baker Valley Irrigation District.
The discovery of gold in Sumpter Valley in 1861 brought the first settlement of the area. Baker Valley attracted some of the home seekers following the Oregon Trail toward western Oregon. Baker, situated where the old trail entered the valley, was first settled in 1863. Mining attracted many of the pioneers, but stock raising and farming were undertaken by others. Irrigation began in the 1870`s, when farmers seeking to improve the native hay meadows made simple diversions from the streams. Construction of a railroad through Baker Valley in 1884 encouraged expansion of the livestock and lumbering industries.
The Lower Division of the Baker Project was first initiated as a Carey Act project by the Powder Valley Irrigation Company about 1909. After an inactive period of about 10 years, the Baker County Chamber of Commerce and a New York corporation sought the assistance of the Reclamation Service for investigations and studies. In 1921, the Director of Reclamation recommended that investigations of the Baker Project be undertaken. Surveys were begun in September 1921, resulting in a recommendation of the Thief Valley site for construction of a dam. The first phase of the project was approved in 1931.
The Upper Division had been under study since about 1930, with local interest and support continuing throughout the entire period. The present development of approximately 19,000 acres evolved from an earlier plan that contemplated a valley-wide irrigation district. This development, through storage of surplus flows, enhances and stabilizes the water supply for the lands in the Baker Valley Irrigation District, and provides the basis for and does not preclude future ultimate resource development of the basin.
Thief Valley Dam of the Lower Division of the Baker Project was found feasible by the Secretary of the Interior on March 17, 1931 under the provisions of section 4 of the Act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat. 836) and subsection B of the Act of December 5, 1924 (43 Stat. 702), and approved for construction as a single-purpose irrigation facility by the President on March 18, 1931. The Upper Division was approved by an act of Congress on September 27, 1962, (76 Stat. 634, Public Law 87-706). Authorized purposes include irrigation, flood control, conservation of fish and wildlife, and recreation.
Construction of the Thief Valley Dam of the Lower Division was started September 12, 1931, and completed on May 6, 1932. Construction of Upper Division facilities started in 1965 and were completed in 1968.
Principal crops produced on both divisions are grain, alfalfa hay, grass hay, pasture, and some seed.
Flood Control
Nearly every year normal high water causes damage by inundation of some farm land in the Baker Valley. Less frequent but higher floodflows have caused considerable damage in the past to residential, municipal, and commercial property.
The Phillips Lake Reservoir (http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/dams/or00577.htm) has 38,000 acre feet of capacity assigned to flood control. Except for some of the lower-lying farm land, flood regulation is being accomplished through the use of 17,000 acre-feet of space in Phillips Lake assigned exclusively to flood control, and an additional 21,000 acre-feet assigned jointly to irrigation and flood control on a forecast of runoff basis. Water that accumulates in the exclusive flood control space may not be retained for irrigation water supply and must be released as soon as possible within specified discharge and streamflow constraints.
The Baker Project has provided an accumulated $614,000 in flood control benefits from 1950 to 1998.
Most of the 909 acres of the Thief Valley Reservoir area are inundated, with 740 acres of water surface providing about 10 miles of shoreline. A portion of the reservoir area has been set aside for recreational use. Camping, picnicking, and boat launching and mooring facilities have been constructed. Union County administers this site. The reservoir has developed a reputation for excellent fishing for trout, largemouth bass, and black crappie which have been planted in the reservoir. Large numbers of waterfowl use the reservoir, and ducks have established nests.
A total of 5,038 acres in the Phillips Lake area is available for recreational use. There are 2,235 acres of water surface and a shoreline stretching almost 13 miles. Recreation facilities for camping, picnicking, swimming, and boat launching and mooring base been constructed and are administered by the Forest Service. Phillips Lake and most of the drainage above it are within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The reservoir is stocked annually with several species of trout. Many waterfowl rest at the reservoir during migration, especially Canada geese.
Endangered Species Act
The Pacific Northwest Region consults with the NOAA Fisheries and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that project operations and other activities do not jeopardize ESA-listed Species or their critical habitats.
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) provided Biological Opinions on Reclamation's Operations and Maintenance of 12 projects and associated facilities in the Snake River Basin above Lower Brownlee Reservoir. The Baker Project is one of the 12 projects covered in the Opinions.
If conditions don't change these Opinions should be valid through 2035.

A retiree from suburban Seattle who ran a dry cleaning business with her husband
Oregon State Police released their names Thursday as friends and loved ones began to hold memorials for some of the others who were killed when the bus plummeted into a ravine along Interstate 84 near Pendleton.
Police previously named five other casualties -- an 11-year-old girl and a couple in their 60s, all from South Korea, and two people from Washington. They are waiting for family approval to release the other two names, but friends of a 19-year-old college student from Washington report he also was killed in the accident. That leaves just one person who has yet to be identified.
Chun Ho Bahn, 63, of Bothell, Wash., was on the trip with her husband, Youn Bahn, 66. She died in the crash and her husband is still being treated at St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton, said Oregon State Police spokesman Lt. Gregg Hastings.
The couple immigrated to the United States in 1986 to build a better life for their four children, said their oldest son, Nicholas Bahn, 40. They worked in a factory in Chicago for two years, then moved to the Seattle area. After working for other dry cleaning businesses, they bought their own in Woodinville, Wash., in 1998. They retired two years ago.
Nicholas Bahn said his father is doing better physically -- he's listed in fair condition and could be released this weekend. But he said his dad is emotionally distraught because he picked out the trip, taking along his wife and two others, Joong Wha Kim, 63, and her husband, Oun Hong Jung, 67. The couple from South Korea also died in the crash, police said earlier this week. They were visiting their daughter, who is married to another Bahn son.
State police said Ae Ja Kim, 61, of South Korea also was killed. Her husband, Man Sun Kim, 71, is still being treated at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, Hastings said.
Forty-seven people were on the bus, which set off from Vancouver, B.C., on a nine-day trip to Las Vegas. On its way back to Canada, it hit an icy patch on I-84, crashed through the guardrail and rolled down the hill, ejecting some passengers.
Police also have confirmed the deaths of Youmin Kim, 11, of South Korea, Yong Ho Lee, 75, of Lynnwood, Wash., and Dale William Osborn, 57 of Spanaway, Wash.
They haven't released the name of Richard Sohn, 19, an only child traveling with his mother and father, who were both hospitalized. His mother has been released but his father, Michael Sohn, 64, is still at OHSU Hospital in Portland.
Richard Sohn's friends have already started grieving. About 40 people gathered Thursday at his alma mater, Newport High School in Bellevue, to remember the former drum major who played first or second clarinet in school concerts, had a deep baritone voice and a teasing sense of humor.
Friends brought flowers, said prayers and watched Sohn's YouTube videos at the memorial.
Sohn aspired to be a filmmaker, said Brian Na, a friend since eighth grade. "That was his passion," Na said.
The pair shared a room with two other students at Seattle Pacific University, a small Christian college where Sohn was a sophomore. Sohn's video won the top prize in the annual film festival of his dorm hall last year, said Dru Solberg, a senior who lived across the corridor.
Besides music and video, Sohn was deeply religious. In high school, he was part of a youth ministry and last year he went with other members of his church, the Community Church of Seattle, to India, where they worked with children.
"He was a very selfless guy," Na said. "He worked to make sure everybody was happy."
Another friend, Raymond Mui, said he was shocked when he learned of Sohn's fate. He received a text from Sohn at 4:22 a.m. Sunday, saying he'd be home that day.
The bus crashed about 10 a.m.
Sohn's church is holding a gathering today to pray for him and his family.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Deep in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's State of the State speech last week was an idea that good-government advocates have long said would transform New York politics like nothing else.
Cuomo wants voluntary public funding of political campaigns to take the huge influence of money out of elections and limit the power of incumbency.
Cuomo also seeks lower maximum donation amounts and increased enforcement by the state Board of Elections, which has been so understaffed for decades that it couldn't dent a growing backload of accusations.
The result has been a better than 95-percent re-election rate for state lawmakers and what Cuomo notes is New York's national ranking of 48th in voter turnout.
The influence of a few political donors on elections creates what a blogger calls a modern poll tax.

Softball Fans Inc., which runs an online store and has a small store in Portage, has signed a lease for 34,000 square feet in Midlink, according to a press release from the business park's owners.
The new space, expected to open around Jan. 1, will have a 19,000-square-foot training area that includes pitching lanes, six batting cages, and a full practice infield for off-season indoor practice for universities and amateur teams.
"There isn't a training facility (like this) in the Southwest Michigan area," said Bryan Knoll, owner of Softball Fans.
Knoll said there's a lot of demand for an indoor practice space in Southwest Michigan.
"West Michigan has needed a quality facility for some time, and, together with our retail offering we should be able to fully serve all avid baseball and softball players in this area," he said.
Privately held Softball Fans, which launched in 2004, is the largest online retailer of high-end softball and baseball equipment, Knoll said.
Sales through the company's website, softballfans.com, has been the company's primary source of revenue, Knoll said. But with more retail space at Midlink, plus additional traffic from the training center should drive more sales from the bricks-and-mortar shop, he said.
"The retail will be dramatically ramped up," he said.
Softball Fans has been growing steadily, even during the last several years of recession. Knoll said growth has been possible because the company has customers around the world and because it's a niche business.
"We specialize in the tournament level player. All our product is on the high end," he said. "We've done well here. We expect that to continue."
Midlink Business Park is a multi-tenant mixed-use development at the site of a former General Motors stamping plant in Comstock Township. It includes 1.6 million square feet of space in two buildings, plus open space for additional developments.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land and state Rep. Holly Hughes have long supported each other in Republican political circles, but for the next month they'll turn their backs to campaign for the party's national committeewoman slot.
Land recently announced that she would challenge Hughes, who represents Muskegon County, for the position the Montague resident has held for two four-year terms. Land said she alerted Hughes to her plans.
"I supported Holly when she ran eight years ago, but our mantra has been you serve two terms and then it's time to move on. That's the same thing we said about Sharon Wise (the former committeewoman).
"Holly's done a great job, but she's been there eight years and she has a House seat that we want her to hold onto."
Delegates to the state convention held May 18-19 at the Cobo Center in Detroit are being recruited by the West Michigan women. Each Hughes and Land are aggressively pursuing endorsements from party leaders.
John Truscott, communications director for former Gov. John Engler and now a Republican campaign adviser, said friends taking on each other is fairly common practice.
"This stuff happens all the time because it's a fairly prestigious position," Truscott said. "When somebody wants that job, they go for it and there tends to be friends involved. At that level, everybody knows everybody."
Hughes, during her tenure as the committeewoman, chaired the selection site committee for the national convention in Tampa Bay in August. She said she's made connections across the state and nation, and was part of the Republican team to help the party take hold of the state House and elect Gov. Rick Snyder in 2010.
"I supported Terri in the past and probably will in the future, but I'd like to keep my job and keep the momentum we've built," Hughes said. "I have a lot of good grassroots support."
Land said she's made the same ties from her terms in state office and by staying active in the party. She has the time, energy and knowledge to make a difference, Land says.
"I've been in the trenches with people and I know what it takes," Land said.

NORTHAMPTON — The prosecutor in the Cara Rintala retrial said the trial will most likely begin Thursday morning with the 15 jurors selected over the past two days.
Hampshire Superior Court Judge Mary Lou Rup had planned to select 16 jurors so there would be four extra in case anyone had to be excused during the four- to five-week trial. But after the second day's jury pool was used up Wednesday with 15 selected, she held a sidebar conference with lawyers.
Assistant District Attorney Steven E. Gagne said afterward it is expected the trial will start Thursday with the 15 jurors if there is no problem with the 15 selected so far. The composition of the jury is 10 women and five men.
Rintala is accused of killing her wife, Annamarie Cochrane Rintala, in their Granby home in 2010. Rintala, 47, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Cochrane Rintala, 37, who was found beaten and strangled in the couple's Granby home on March 29, 2010.
The first trial in the case in March ended in a hung jury.
Police responding to a 911 call from a neighbor arrived at the scene to find Cara Rintala sitting on the basement floor with her wife's paint-splattered body in her lap.
The case was the first in Massachusetts in which a woman was charged with murdering her lawfully wedded wife. The two women were married in Provincetown in 2007.
Gagne said Rintala strangled her wife after battling for months over finances and custody of the couple's young daughter.
Defense lawyer David P. Hoose dismissed the state's case as flimsy and circumstantial, and suggested other suspects were never fully investigated.

My friend and fellow food adventurer, Evan, had prompted me to suss out some new places for us to try. We like to keep it fairly local, and without too much trouble, I narrowed it down toThe Boiling Crab and Fickle. I put it to Evan, and The Boiling Crab won out for its proximity to our area. We fell in love with TBC, but that is another story for another day. Fickle had been weighing on his mind, and we wound up giving it a go once our schedules aligned. Though I'm wearing exactly zero make-up, my hair was cute and the lighting was amazing so I felt the inspiration to film another Tastemade episode. Enjoy!
Here are a couple of snaps I posted on Instagram:
The buffalo cauliflower is an item on their special happy hour menu only. On the weekends and after 7pm weekdays, it's unavailable. It's made with "tapatio buffalo sauce", which Evan enjoyed but I thought tasted more like Tapatio rather than a buttery buffalo sauce (like Frank's or Duff's). It's still good, especially with those generous blue cheese crumbles. Mmmmm!
Roasted Bone Marrow
Ginger Soy Lacquer | Citrus Basil Gremolata | Pickled Daikon Salad
My favorite bite of the night, hands down. Though anyone who knows me well enough is not surprised in the least, because I have been writing sonnets about my love for sucking the literal marrow out of life for quite possibly forever and a day. The gremolata added a layer of flavor and texture I never knew I was missing before, but now need to incorporate the next time I decide to roast some bone marrow at home. The daikon salad was refreshing and just the juxtapose to round out the dish.
Bacon Wrapped Quail
Mushroom Risotto Filling | Spinach | Pine Nuts | Cranberry Demi Jus
Evan and I zeroed in on that quail as soon as our eyes fell on the mains portion of the menu. Quail is not something I've attempted to cook yet, but not for lack of interest on my part, just a touch of nervousness I have when dealing with poultry. Also, I don't really remember that I want to work with it until I am wandering the butchery at Bristol Farms, but then I have no idea what to do with it and you know what? Stop hounding me. I'll get to it eventually; for now let me enjoy the occasional quail dish. Yeesh. This dish had everything going for it: a bed of greens, my favorite nut in the nuthouse, a savory delicious sauce to sop up the meat and spinach with and stunning risotto. My one quibble? The bacon was a touch salty for my palate. Otherwise, a damn tasty dish.
Though Fickle didn't completely blow our minds, Evan and I were overall impressed and know we have another spot to check out when the seasons (and therefore the menu) changes. Best of all, Fickle is located just one short block away from the Metro Gold Line!

An online course that allows Michigan drivers to avoid getting points on their license for minor traffic violations is up and running.
Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said the new "Basic Driver Improvement Course" can be found by clicking here.
The website is the result of a new state that that took effect Dec. 31, 2010 that allows drivers cited for offenses such as speeding, improper passing or disobeying a stop sign to qualify to have points kept from going on their driving record by completing a course.
Johnson's office said the first notices to eligible drivers were mailed last month, and they have the option of taking a course online or in a classroom. There are currently 10 course providers approved by the state that offer the required defensive driving curriculum.
Eligible drivers have 60 days to arrange for and pass the course and may retake it as many times as necessary within that time.
The cost for the course is set by the test provider, Johnson's office said, but the total will not to exceed $100.
Drivers are still responsible for paying fines and court costs involved in the traffic violation.
The course may only be used once to avoid points.
A driver is not eligible if he or she:
* is in the 60-day period of course eligibility for a previous ticket.
*has already avoided points under the program.
*has a restricted, suspended or revoked license or was not issued a Michigan license.
*has three or more points on his or her record.
*held a commercial driver license or was operating a commercial vehicle at the time of the ticket.
*received a ticket that is not eligible for the program.

The Central Michigan University baseball team struck for four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning and stunned Michigan State with a 7-6 victory at Midland's Dow Diamond.
Trailing 6-2 in the bottom of the ninth, the Chippewas led off the inning with three straight singles and a double from leadoff hitter Billy Anderson trimmed the lead to 6-4.
A single, intentional walk ended up tying the game and left the bases loaded for pinch hitter Casey Ingle, who was hit by a pitch to bring home the game-winning run.
Harvey Martin struck out the three batters he faced in the ninth and took the win, his first of the year. Tyler Kipke led the offense with three hits, an RBI and a run scored.

Marcellus, NY -- In a game that left everyone breathless, there was a rare occasion when Kevin Hopsicker actually could catch his breath.
The Cazenovia High School quarterback stood in the pocket waiting for receiver Noah King to complete his crossing route coming right to left. The Lakers quarterback waited and waited and waited, all because of beautiful protection from his offensive line. Finally, Hopsicker delivered a perfect pass to King in stride. King cut toward the goal line, twisted, shouted and stretched his tiny body into the end zone for a touchdown.
The 18-yard pass play in the fourth quarter completed a stunning Cazenovia comeback and provided the winning points in a contest truly worthy of Game of the Week honors. The Lakers defeated Marcellus 43-35 in a battle of Class B Section III powers on Thursday night.
Hopsicker's touchdown pass to King gave Cazenovia a 36-35 lead with 8 minutes and 30 seconds remaining. It capped a Lakers comeback from a 28-7 deficit. Caz would tack on another score - and Hopsicker would make a sick 15-yard run down the sidelines on third-and-15 to keep the chains going - but it was the touchdown pass to King that broke the Mustangs and gave the Lakers a special victory.
"That was awesome," Hopsicker said of the triumph. "Lot of ups and downs. At first, we were down and we were pretty nervous. All of the guys rallied behind us. It turned out to be a heck of a win."
Hopsicker finished by rushing for three touchdowns and passing for two touchdowns. The first time Cazenovia snapped the ball in the game, Hopsicker ran 19 yards for a touchdown. He finished with 194 yards rushing. He completed 8-of-12 passes for 105 yards.
Cazenovia, 3-0, is the No. 1 ranked team in Syacuse.com's weekly media poll of small schools. Marcellus, 2-1, was ranked No. 4. The matchup was voted by readers as one of Syracuse.com's Games of the Week.
There were so many moments in which Hopsicker took over the game.
And he absolutely had to after Marcellus bolted to its stunning 28-7 lead. Quarterback Tom Keegan tossed three touchdown passes in the first quarter including a 76-yard completion to Will Coon. Twice, Cazenovia failed to field or cover kickoffs, fueling the Marcellus run.
"I usually don't get too rattled, but I was a little rattled," Hopsicker said. "Coach pulled me aside and said you're the leader of this team, you've got to get the guys to rally behind you, and that's what they did."
The Lakers put together a seven play, 72-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter that stemmed the bleeding. Hopsicker either ran or passed the ball six of the plays. He scored the touchdown on a 19-yard run.
For Marcellus, the game kind of turned on its inability to stop Hopsicker, but also three bad snaps. One led to a safety. Another resulted in a fumble. A third killed a drive in the fourth quarter.
In the second half, Marcellus briefly regained its footing. The Mustangs put together a 15-play touchdown drive that took 6:25 off the clock and covered 59 yards. Keegan scored the touchdown on fourth-and-3 from the 4. He sprinted to his right and outraced the pursuit to the pylon. THe score gave Marcellus a 35-23 lead with 2:38 left in the third quarter.
Hopsicker took just 30 seconds for Cazenovia to answer. He drove the Lakers 49 yards in two plays. He scored the touchdown on a 4-yard run.
Prior to the winning touchdown pass to King, Hopsicker intercepted Keegan on something of a desperation third-and-long pass.
"He's a great athlete," said Marcellus coach Joe Fiacchi. "And he just made plays that were super human."
Perhaps his best came late in the game with the Lakers desperately trying to maintain possession and keep the clock running. Facing third-and-15, Hopsicker went on a mad run around left end. Right in front of the Marcellus bench, it looked like the Mustangs had the quick quarterback in their sights. But then Hopsicker took off on a long jump in which he turned his body sideways to avoid contact or tacklers. Hopsicker got just enough yards to pick up a first down.
As part of that drive, the Lakers would tack on a touchdown on a 7-yard run by Carter Woodworth with 2:51 left. Then the defense dug in, stopping Marcellus on fourth down near midfield.
"That was a great one," said Cazenovia coach Tom Neidt of the contest. "We got in a hole but like I told our kids, we've got to persevere, kjnd of keep grinding on it. I think a lot of our young kids really grew up tonight."
"Great heart," said King, the wide receiver who caught the winning touchdown pass. "Just great heart by the team. The motto is bend, don't break. That's what we did."

The Press-Register editorial:
Two Baldwin commissioners fail leadership test
NO MATTER how Baldwin County commissioners try to explain their actions this week, there's no getting around the fact that they have let the schools, and the voters, down.
Two of the four members -- Chairman Bob James and Commissioner Frank Burt -- blocked a resolution that would have scheduled a February referendum on replacing a temporary 1 percent sales tax for the schools.
The other two, Tucker Dorsey and Charles "Skip" Gruber, voted for the referendum.
If the sales tax is allowed to expire, the county will have less money with which to educate its growing population. This is sad news, especially given recent studies showing that a third of the state's college-bound students require remedial courses.
Commission Chairman James insists that the school system is "broke" and that it needs to be repaired before funding is addressed. Commissioner Burt, meanwhile, says the sales tax renewal should be on the ballot in November, not February, and that it should be paired with a proposal to increase ad valorem taxes.
Both assertions are hogwash.
Given Baldwin's burgeoning population, it's rational to assume that more funding would be needed over time to address the county's growing needs. Insisting that the system be "fixed" first is just another way of procrastinating, instead of giving schools the teachers, workers and programs they need to do the job well.
Meanwhile, local school leaders acknowledge -- and so should Commissioner Burt -- that a property tax increase is not likely to win the approval of voters. It follows that a "cafeteria plan" of increases, including a sales tax paired with a property tax, would probably go down in flames, too. Suggesting such a plan is a non-starter.
State Rep. Randy Davis, R-Daphne, deserves credit for trying to salvage the situation with a bill that would set a vote for February to extend the sales tax a little longer. This stopgap measure could give school-tax supporters a chance to corral their forces.
Meanwhile, Baldwin County -- often seen as an oasis of educational excellence -- will soon find itself thirsting for resources to educate its children.
And the voters? Thanks to county commissioners' failed leadership, they won't have a say in the matter.

Trails and scenic routes in Homewood, Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills are featured in a recently released state publication that encourages visits to selected areas in Alabama to promote health and fitness.
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs released its "Alabama Passport to Fitness" publication two weeks ago.
The passport highlights 85 Alabama trails, tracks and historic town tours. The publication's goal is to encourage people to discover the beauty of Alabama and to improve their health by walking tour sites when visiting selected cities, Gov. Bob Riley said in a statement. The passport also includes a centerfold page with the 85 sites and corresponding open spaces for stamps.
A visitor to a particular site would receive a stamp, signifying his visit and tour of a particular trail. "In keeping with the passport theme, if you were traveling abroad, you'd get a stamp when you go to Mexico, you'd get a stamp when you go to Italy. That's the way we wanted to make it work," said Brian Davis, Vestavia's parks and recreation director.
Homewood's feature includes two walking trails -- one which begins and ends at City Hall, 2850 19th Street South, and loops around its downtown area; the other includes the Shades Creek Trail, which begins at Green Springs Highway and continues to Brookwood Medical Center Drive.
"Homewood is a fitness conscious community and participating in this initiative serves as a reminder of the wonderful walking opportunities found throughout the City," said Tricia Ford, Homewood chamber executive director.
Mountain Brook's section tells of its sidewalks and trails which connect commercial areas, neighborhoods, places of worship and schools.
The west trail encompasses more of the residential aspects of the community and highlights churches, City Hall and the public library.
The east trail includes the Irondale Furnace and a walk along Furnace Branch.
Information about the trails can be found at the city's chamber of commerce, which is housed in the Board of Education building in Crestline Village on Vine Street. Chamber Executive Director Suzan Doidge said trail hikers can get their passports stamped at the chamber office, though a second location may be added in the future.
To learn more about the trails, visitors can visit the chamber Web site at www.welcometomountainbrook.com.
Vestavia's tour features sites along U.S. 31. Vestavia's walk "was designed to highlight the city's balance between natural areas and development by including lovely neighborhoods, a business district, the pristine beauty of Boulder Canyon Nature Trail and the glorious view from the crest of Shades Mountain," the passport states.
Davis said the city submitted its information two years ago to include areas it wishes to emphasize.
"We recognized we had new sidewalks and new trails so we combined them and put it out there," he said. "Hopefully, if we do another rendition, we can add trails at Liberty Park and we can add trails at Cahaba Heights and that would be a big step in promoting the city."
Those completing the trail can get their passport stamped at the Vestavia Hills Civic Center, which houses the main office of the city's chamber of commerce and parks and recreation department.

Juniper Lee
this wiki
Juniper "June" Kim Lee is an 11 years old[1], Asian girl blessed with magical powers that grant her the title of Te Xuan Ze at the age of 11, thus becoming the protector of the hidden world of magic. It is her duty, as Te Xuan Ze, to keep the balance between good and bad magic and keep the world of humanity in the dark about its magical counterpart. But, because of her young age, Juniper faces many struggles in balancing her normal and magical life, and keeping her powers a secret from her family.
When she's not involved in some magical hulabaloo, Juniper acts just like any normal girl. She likes to hang out with her friends and enjoys doing sports such as volleyball and skateborading. She also plays guitar in her own band along with her brothers Dennis and Ray Ray.
Origins: Awakening as Te Xuan Ze
Not much is known about Juniper's early life aside that she was born a Chinese American like her brothers. She grew up as a normal little girl in Orchid Bay City until she earned the powers of the Te Xuan Ze through her magical lineage.
One day, while visiting her Ah-Mah, Juniper was plagued by a painful stomach ache. This stomach ache was later revealed to be part of the activation of her Te Xuan Ze powers, and it eventually reached its zenith when some demons attempted to inflitrate the house and eliminate the new Te Xuan Ze. After a short trance-like spell, June discovered that she was able to see the monsters attacking the house, and that she had developed superhuman strength and agility. In addition to this, one streak of her hair had turned white much like her Ah-Mah's (which is in fact the Te Xuan Ze trademark). After getting rid of the demons and saving her brother Ray Ray, June took up the mantle of Te Xuan Ze to replace her grandmother.[2]
Season 1
At the beginning of the series June has been the Te Xuan Ze for over a month, and her ability to see and talk to magic creatures has given her the reputation of a crazy girl[3]. During this season she saves the worlds from several magic threats such as Sandman [4] and Loki [5].
However one of the most important moments is when Auntie Roon is released from hr banishment and lifts the magic veil between the human and magic world in the Mall [6]. After battling her, she is casted out again with the same trick that Monroe used 2000 years ago and used a summoning spell with Ah'Mah to summon the elders and undo all the events that happend.
At first her reputation in the magic worlds as a Te Xuan Ze wasn't quite recognized and appreciated as the one of her Ah'Mah. It wasn't until she saved the monsters in the Monster Con from H.A.M. tht she earned the respect and admiration from most of the magic creatures [7].
Season 2
Season 3
Clothes and appearances
June is an asian girl, with a slender body and long black straight hair, almost reaching her waist with a pink wisp. She very long legs and three freckles above her nose forming a triangle. She also is known for having incredibly large feet.
She has said to have a hair too straight and a flat nose.
June's clothes are a pair of brown shoes, a pair of blue jeans, a green t-shirt with short sleeves and pink edges and a stylized stylized pink juniper flower on the chest.
To see other clothes and appearances, see:Juniper Lee/Clothes and appearances
Powers and Abilities
Being the Te Xuan Ze, June possesses many magical and superhuman abilities that help her deal with the different creatures of the magical world, such as:
- Superhuman Strength: June is superhumanly strong and is typically able to lift and take down giant monster with little effort. She is strong enough literally punch her way out of 200 feet of concrete[8] and easily lift a 3.716 pound monster.[9] This places her strenght level slightly over 2 tons.
- Superhuman Speed: She is capable of running and accelerating to high speeds which a human could never achieve.
- Superhuman Stamina: June's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. She can physically exert herself at peak capacity for hours before fatigue begins to impair her.
- Superhuman Durability: The tissues of her body are considerably harder and more resistant to physical injury than those of an ordinary human. Juniper is capable of withstanding great impact forces, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining any injury.
- Superhuman Agility: June's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Her reflexes are heightened in a similar manner and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
- Magic Vision: Basic ability of seeing through the magical barrier.
- Magic: June can also use a wide array of magical artifacts (stones, scepters, wands, etc.) to aid her in battle. The spell she uses the most is the banishing spell.[10]
- Magic Immunity: She has some degree of inmunity to some magical effects, I.E. Sandman's sleeping spell.
- Magical Energy Absorption: As a Te Xuan Ze she can tap into the magical energy that empowers her when she is in the elder's realm in order to enhance her powers. After absorbing magic from the source of her powers, she was able to defeat Kai Yee.
See also: Juniper Lee/List of spells
In one occasion she stated that she doesn't have any magical power even though her powers come from an ancient magic and she can do spells, as well as other characters have said that she has magical powers.[11] This makes the nature of her powers ambiguous at the best.
- Knowledge of Sorcery: June is trained in witchcraft. Her sorceress is part of the set of powers from her Te Xuan Ze abilities.
- Experienced Combatant: June has no formal knowledge of hand-to-hand combat. However, her powers enable her to execute fighting moves with superhuman force, at an opponent and her career as the Te Xuan Ze has given her plenty of combat experience. According to Ah-Mah, in very little time she has bbecome an extremely adept warrior.[12]
- Weaponry Mastery: June has some mastery in the use of weapons such a swords, and mallets. She was also a capable user of the Wushu staff.
- Guitar Player: She is a proficient guitar player.
- Singer: She is a proficient singer.
Inability to leave Orchid Bay: since she is a Te Xuan Ze she can't physiclly leave Orchid Bay,which she discovered while trying to catch a Bombat .
Family and Friends
Ray Ray Lee
Ray Ray is June's little brother and self-proclaimed sidekick. Due to a mishap caused by three demons when Juniper got her Te Xuan Ze powers, Ray Ray was imbued with some of her power and can see through the magical veil. However, as stated in "Adventures in Babysitting", Ray Ray does not have any other powers, although they may appear at a later time.
Dennis Lee
Dennis is Juniper's older brother. Although he acts like the stereotypical teenager with an addiction to TV and video games at the beginning of the series, he eventually changes his attitude once he learns of juniper's role as Te Xuan Ze. He becomes a new sidekick to June and even shows greater knowledge in magic than her thanks to his roleplay gaming.
- At school, June is involved in the volleyball club, math club and asian club.
- The juniper flower (for which June was named after) is a symbol of protection. This reflects Juniper's duty to protect the magical world as the Te Xuan Ze.
- She likes rollerblading, hawaiian pizza and the drama from No Doubt.
- She is the first Te Xuan Ze that has ever been a child instead of a father next.[13]
- She weights 73 Pounds soaking wet.[14]

Have you considered that some people, myself included, are offended by the presumptive close technique you employ, when you ask when would be a good time to meet? You're presuming that the issue on the table is when I want to meet, not whether I want to meet at all. If I wanted to answer in kind, I would say: "How about never? Does never work for you?".

Since its inception, Microsoft has created 20 or more different releases of its flagship product, the Windows operating system. This doesn't even count the variants for different microarchitectures, Starter Editions, or so-called 'UItimate versions.
Despite this, this latest version, Windows 8, promises to be the most distinctive Windows yet as it represents Microsoft's attempt to completely re-brand its consumer and corporate identities.
The design philosophy behind W8, known as the 'Metro UI', has its roots back in Windows XP's Media Center Edition. It then became the basis of the Zune media players and software, traveled to the Windows Phone operating system and even transformed the Xbox 360's dashboard interface before coming to rest in the form of Windows 8's new Start screen.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called Windows 8 the company's "riskiest bet" at a Gartner Symposium back in 2010. Given some of the drastic changes we've seen so far, we're inclined to agree. The next-generation operating system faces the unenviable task of unifying Redmond's mobile and desktop codebases, responding to the overwhelming pressure the iPad has brought to bear, and helping to transition the company into what Steve Jobs once called the 'post-PC' era.
It's expected that Windows 8 will be released later this year. Join us as we take a close look at its evolution and delve deeper into Microsoft's strategy in our Wait for 8 series."

The student of Gateway to Knowledge can begin to comprehend the meaning of the major works on Buddhist philosophy and of the traditional sciences. When you want to extract their meaning you need an "expert system," a key. The Gateway to Knowledge is like that key, a magical key-it opens up the treasury of precious gemstones in the expansive collection of Buddhist scriptures.--Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche Paperback, 190 pp.

David Vieau, chief executive of A123 Systems, called bankruptcy for the battery maker and sale to Johnson Controls in the best interest of stakeholders.
A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE), a battery maker that was once a darling of the cleantech electric car startup scene, has sold its auto parts business and contracts to automotive parts giant Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), after first filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The battery maker, based in Waltham, Massachusetts, has faced financial difficulty for some time, and had previously announced it had negotiated a $423 million financing deal with Wanxiang Group, China's largest auto parts manufacturer. That deal sparked political opposition, and is apparently off the table now that A123 has filed for bankruptcy protection.
The sale to Johnson Controls, announced this morning, includes A123 U.S. assets in Livonia and Romulus, Michigan, and overseas assets in China, plus all of A123's automotive assets and contracts.
"We believe the asset purchase agreement with Johnson Controls, coupled with a Chapter 11 filing, is in the best interests of A123 and its stakeholders at this time," A123's chief executive, David Vieau said in a statement. "We determined not to move forward with the previously announced Wanxiang agreement as a result of unanticipated and significant challenges to its completion. Since disclosing the Wanxiang agreement, we have simultaneously been evaluating contingencies, and we are pleased that Johnson Controls recognizes the inherent value of our automotive technology and automotive business assets. We are also pleased that we have received indications of interest that recognize the value of our grid and commercial businesses."
It's a steep comedown from a company that was touted as a "success story," by President Barack Obama. The president praised A123 in 2010 (video below), prior to the company's announcement that a battery it had made had been defective. The defective battery announcement marked the start of A123's decline as a company. At its high after a 2009 IPO, A123 was worth $2.3 billion. This morning, the company was worth $11 million.
