PAHRUMP -- Community leaders in this recession-stricken town are eagerly anticipating the arrival of about 1,000 new residents, so long as they stay where they belong behind the stun fence and razor wire.
A new medium-security detention center for federal inmates is set to open Oct. 1 in Nye County's largest community, and some say it's already giving the town a much-needed economic boost.
The privately owned and operated facility is bringing 234 new full-time jobs to town, roughly half of which have been filled by local residents.
It also will bring in as many as 1,072 inmates under a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service.
"Nevada has the highest unemployment rate in the country, and Nye County has a higher rate than the state of Nevada," County Commission Chairman Gary Hollis said during the prison's dedication ceremony last week . "This is a very good day for many people in our community who now have a good, high-paying job."
Nye County Manager Rick Osborne said unemployment in the rural county stood at 16.7 percent in June. At the very least, he said, the new prison should keep that from getting any worse.
The $83.5 million facility is owned by Corrections Corporation of America, a Tennessee-based company that builds and operates prisons across the country.
Company CEO Damon Hininger said the Nevada Southern Detention Center will house detainees awaiting federal trial in Nevada, Arizona and California, as well as convicts awaiting delivery to the federal prisons where they will serve out their sentences.
But not everyone is happy about the project.
A group of Pahrump residents calling itself Concerned Citizens for a Safe Community filed a lawsuit in federal court last year to block the detention center from opening.
The group questions the safety of the facility and its proximity to dozens of homes. Its members also allege numerous violations of federal, state and local regulations, saying the project was rammed through without sufficient input from the public.
Much of Pahrump's business community, meanwhile, has welcomed the detention center with open arms. Warden Joe Ponte said one local bank even donated office space so that CCA could hold training classes for its new employees.
Steve Conry, a vice president for CCA, described the staff members hired from Pahrump as "probably the most ready-to-go-to-work people I've seen in a long, long time."
The project has already benefited some local companies left reeling by the collapse of the housing and commercial building market.
Floyd's Construction was hired to extend water and sewer service to the detention center site, which is on a hill above the town dump roughly five miles from Pahrump's commercial center.
Mike Floyd said it was the biggest job they have landed since his parents started the business in 1963 -- a $3.5 million contract that meant seven months of work for 40 employees.
"We were down to seven people before this job started," Floyd said. "It saved our company."
With 65 detention centers and 17,000 employees nationwide, CCA is the largest player in the growing private prison industry.
The detention center in Pahrump is a state-of-the-art facility with a high level of security, Hininger said.
The detention center has a mix of dormitories and cell blocks designed to handle both high- and low-level offenders, men and women.
The 182,000-square-foot complex is ringed with layers of razor wire and the aforementioned stun fence, which will knock you to the ground and trigger an alarm if you touch it.
More than 100 cameras record all activity inside and out, and the electronic key tracing system requires fingerprint identification and sends out alerts if a key is not returned within a certain amount of time.
At the request of residents, CCA surrounded the prison with an earthen berm that almost completely hides the structure from view.

After four-plus years, after countless leaks, rumors, misleading statements, lies, innuendo, and posturing, after all of the horsehit and hysteria; Barry Bonds was finally indicted on perjury charges. Here's the indictment.
Page 3 of the indictment starts off with this:
9. During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing substances for Bonds and other professional athletes.
Really? Bonds failed a drug test? Why have we never heard this before? How could that fact have been kept a secret, while virtually everything else was leaked to the press? How is that believable?
Needless to say, it is a big deal:
According to today's indictment, in response to one question, Bonds told prosecutors that he didn't believe that his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, had ever given him banned drugs. Anderson later pleaded guilty to steroid distribution charges in the BALCO case. Bonds' statement was false, the grand jury that indicted Bonds today concluded.
Likewise, the grand jury said Bonds also lied when he testified that Anderson had never injected him with drugs, and when he said Anderson had never supplied him with human growth hormone.
Greg Anderson, in jail for 13 1/2 months, was released when the indictment was issued, and boy, is his lawyer pissed:
It's infuriating, when you read the indictment. Is there anything in that indictment that wasn't known a year ago? If that is the case, clearly, putting Greg in for a year was not only punitive, but was misleading the court in that (federal prosecutors) said his testimony was indispensable for the investigation.
All of sudden, it was, 'I hope your year was therapeutic.'
There has to be some kind of redress for this. The whole thing is a crock of shit. He's never said word one.
So Anderson never cracked, but they finally decided to go for it anyway.
My first reaction is that this is a travesty, and has been for years. For someone to be investigated for this long for something so unimportant is a disgrace. The amount of money spent, and the effort and time that has gone into this bald-faced attempt to dishonor and disgrace a fucking baseball player is just terrible. This is an abuse of power, a shameless personal attack of Barry Bonds.
My second reaction is, holy shit, I'm gonna get a lot of traffic. ;-)
This is not a good day for baseball, it's not a good day for anyone involved, really. I don't see how you could be proud to taking four years to get an indictment for something so minor. In fact, I'd say they don't really care whether they win or not anymore. This has gone on for so long, that they couldn't afford not to indict him. At this point, who cares what happens. At the least, they're gonna drag his ass through the mud for as long as they possibly can, and if they convict, great, he'll appeal; if they don't, they can appeal. Either way, his name will be in the paper for another three or four years.
I'm gonna be on the radio tomorrow, I'm trying to get a confirmation of a 10am, PST interview with Brandon Rosage of MVN Radio. I'll post the details as soon as I finalize everything.
UPDATE: David Pinto thinks that the test they're referring to would seem to be part of the survey tests MLB ran in 2003. Still find it hard to believe that that information –just the single most important fact involved in the entire case– could have remained a secret, while virtually everything else wasn't.
UPDATE: Michael McCann has a quick of the charges:
They are very serious. A grand jury has identified probable cause — meaning "more likely than not" — that Barry Bonds committed perjury and obstruction of justice. If Bonds committed those crimes, he knowingly denigrated our system of justice and those who uphold it. At best, his conduct would be characterized as brazen disregard for legal rules; at worst, an untoward combination of arrogance, deception, and guile in a setting where we demand the very opposite. However a conviction would be described, Bonds would face up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each of three perjury charges, and 10 years and a $250,000 fine for an obstruction of justice charge. He would be facing serious time

OMERS, Ontario Teachers sell 1/3 stakes in Express Pipeline for $430 apiece
TORONTO - Two of Ontario's largest pension plans have each sold their one-third stakes in Express Pipeline System to U.S.-based Spectra Energy Corp. (NYSE:SE) for $430 million apiece.
The sales were announced separately Tuesday by Borealis Infrastructure, the infrastructure investment arm of the OMERS pension plan, and by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan.
A third partner, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, a pipeline transportation and energy storage company and operator of the Express Pipeline, was also selling its stake.
The Express Pipeline System is a 2,763-kilometre crude oil pipeline system running from Hardisty, Alta., to Wood River, Ill, a major U.S. Midwest oil refining hub.
"Express Pipeline was one of our first significant capital investments and has been an excellent asset for Borealis since 2003," Borealis president and CEO Michael Rolland said. "It is a great example of our focus on creating long-term value for OMERS."
Rolland said Borealis was happy to be selling to an established U.S. and Canadian operator like Spectra and "excited about the potential to redeploy our capital in large-scale, global infrastructure assets."
The Express Pipeline System was also one of Teachers' earliest infrastructure investments, said Stephen Dowd, senior vice-president, infrastructure and timberland.
"We have had a positive relationship with our partners, Borealis and Kinder Morgan, and we will continue to look at future opportunities in the pipeline sector."
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013.
OMERS is one of Canada's largest pension funds with net assets of more than $55 billion administered on behalf of some 420,000 members. Borealis has some $20 billion under management.
Teachers' Infrastructure Group currently manages an international portfolio of approximately $11 billion, including water and wastewater, electricity distribution, gas distribution, airports, power generation, high-speed rail, port facilities and timberland.
With more than $117.1 billion in assets, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan is the largest single-profession pension plan in Canada, investing the assets and administering the pensions of 300,000 active and retired teachers in the province.

Historic site and buildings:
The Birthplace of American Railroading
The site upon which the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum was established in 1953 is designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior. As a major Baltimore Attraction, this 40-acre historic site and its buildings and structures hold a unique and significant place in American history.
Universally recognized as the birthplace of American railroading, the Museum's site represents the vision, establishment, development and creation of the first common carrier railroad in the Western Hemisphere. The first 1.5 miles of mainline railroad right of way carries visitors on seasonal train rides to the site where the First Stone of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road was laid on July 4, 1828 by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, last living signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Architecturally and historically significant railroad buildings and structures are preserved and interpreted as a part of the Museum's collection. These include: Mt. Clare Depot (1851); Roundhouse [Passenger Car Shop], (1884); Annex Building (1884), Baltimore & Ohio Passenger Car Works (1869-1870), Freight Car Repair Shop [ruins] 1919 and the historic 1.5 mile right of way.
At Mt. Clare the birth, growth, zenith and legacy of the American railroad can be experienced like nowhere else in the World. The Mt. Clare Shops, established here in March 1829, are the oldest continually operating railroad shops in the World. An extensive list of historical and technological firsts was accomplished here. From the perfection of the flanged wheel, and the building and operation of the first American built steam locomotive to the construction of the World's first air conditioned passenger car; Mt. Clare was a laboratory of American ingenuity.

Owners of cloned Quarter Horses might soon be able to register their animals with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA): a Texas jury has found the association's rule forbidding the registration of cloned horses is a violation of federal antitrust laws.
Some owners have used the cloning process—which was first performed on horses in 2003—to preserve their animals' bloodlines, particularly those of high-performance equines. In response to cloning as a way to preserve bloodlines, some breed associations ruled on whether or not cloned horses can be included in their breed registries. In 2004 the AQHA board of directors approved Rule 227(a), which prohibits cloned horses or their offspring from being included in the organization's breed registry.
Last year Jason Abraham and two of his related companies, Abraham & Veneklasen Joint Venture and Abraham Equine Inc., filed suit against the AQHA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division. The complaint asks the court to order the AQHA to remove Rule 227(a) on grounds that the ban on registering cloned horses and their offspring violates antitrust laws.
According to a written statement from the AQHA, on July 30 a 10-person federal district court jury found that the rule violates both state and federal antitrust rules.
In a written statement, Atty. Nancy Stone, who represents Abraham & Veneklasen Joint Venture along with several other attorneys, said she was pleased and that the registration of cloned horses could begin soon.
"We are confident that the favorable jury verdict will result in the court ordering AQHA to register (cloned horses belonging to) Jason Abraham; Gregg Veneklasen, DVM; and others, and that the registration of these horses will further the mission of AQHA to maintain the integrity of the breed," Stone's statement said.
In his own written statement, AQHA Executive Vice President Don Treadway, Jr., said the AQHA is disappointed by the case's outcome, but that it stands by its registration policy.
"It continues to be our position that our rule prohibiting the registration of clones and their offspring is both reasonable and lawful," Treadway's statement said.
AQHA President John Dobbs said that the organization's leadership will meet with the executive committee and the legal committee to explore appeal options. Those options will be announced later, the statement said.
Meanwhile, AQHA spokesman Tom Persechino said he was unsure how many cloned horses might become AQHA registered: "We simply do not know how many clones there are. Right now we have a jury verdict, not an order to register (and) I imagine we will know more as we move through the appeals process."

Audie Award Finalist, Package Design, 2014
I can't stop thinking big....
International best-selling author Kevin J. Anderson teams up with Rush lyricist and drummer Neil Peart to expand the story set out in Clockwork Angels, the 20th studio album by the legendary rock band.
All the journeys of this great adventure -
It didn't always feel that way
For more than two centuries, the land of Albion has been ruled by the supposedly benevolent Watchmaker, who imposes precision on every aspect of life. Young Owen Hardy from the village of Barrel Arbor dreams of seeing the big city and the breathtaking Clockwork Angels that dispense wisdom to the people, maybe even catching a glimpse of the Watchmaker himself.
I was brought up to believe....
He watches the steamliners drift by, powered by alchemical energy, as they head toward Crown City - never dreaming that he is already caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos, between the Watchmaker and his nemesis, the Anarchist. Owen's journeys begin at a fabulous carnival with clockwork wonders beyond his imagination, and take him aboard airships, far into the Redrock Desert to seek lost cities, through storms at sea to encounters with pirates...and give him a chance at love.
Clockwork Angels: The Novel is a remarkable, innovative story unlike any other.
The basis for this novel, Clockwork Angels: The Album by Rush, is available now at rush.com.
©2012 Kevin J. Anderson (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Great with the album, decent YA novel alone"
I need to start by saying that I've been a Rush fan since the late 70's. I love their music, and the Clockwork Angels album is one of their best ever. It's the reason I bought this book, but I'm reviewing it as a stand-alone work rather than as part of the larger production.
Clockwork Angels is a traditional coming-of-age story set in a fantasy universe that incorporates elements of steampunk and alchemy. As the authors note in the afterword, many influences were drawn from classical stories and pulled together to create an adventure that will seem very familiar to anybody who has completed an English Lit class or two. In short: boy is raised in humble beginnings but craves adventure, runs away to the big city, has life-affirming adventures and finds that he can never return to the pedestrian life where he started.
As a 40-something adult, I was ultimately left wanting more sophistication from this story. The characters generally lacked the depth I wanted and played to fairly well-established archetypes. Many of the plot turns went unresolved in favor of moving on to the next stage of the book, and I felt they could have been explored further to add a bit more weight to the world building. There were some pretty significant events portrayed in this story that would have had a huge influence on the way the world worked, but we never heard more about them. Too bad.
As a Rush fan, I noticed lots of references to song titles and lyrics throughout the book. I agree that people unfamiliar with their music probably won't notice anything's up, and it's kind of fun to discover the easter eggs. But some of the references felt a bit forced or contrived. It was obvious in several cases that the phrase used was not really the best choice, but was tweaked to include a hidden bit of lyric.
Neil Peart's narration was pretty good, and it was easy to be pulled in to the story - always a plus for an audiobook, and not a guaranteed experience. Definitely very solid.
Ultimately, I would recommend this book to a younger audience. I think 10-15 is probably about the best age for a book like this, and would have enjoyed it a lot more as my 12-year-old self. As an adult, I liked it but was ultimately left feeling like I had listened to an abridged version with much of the detail omitted.
"Incredible Story of a Fantastic Adventure"
Yes Absolutely Great story, and Great Reading
The story is in the same archetype as Name of the Wind.
All are excellent, this one is the equal of any other
As Rushfan this just made happy...and dreamy
1. As a Rushfan(tm)
2. As a Standalone book
Either way is one of the best books I have read in years.
1. As a Rushfan(tm) this book is an incredible expansion of the "Clockwork Angels" album and of the band's entire body of work. The book's Primary focus is of course on bringing an expanded version of the albums concept to life. However it goes further, it brings out an expansion of all of the Rush's work. It brings in concepts from the entire history of the Band's albums and songs. These are not just cheesy planted references, but ones that enhance the naritive and even the understanding of such.
2. As a standalone book the story itself is vibrant and clear. There isn't a wasted word in the book. The story could have easily ran on as 500-1000 pages dragging out the concepts of the narative. However Anderson (and Peart its made clear this was a very tight colaboration) keeps the story running on the same steel wheels of the Steamliner's that figure centrally to the narative.
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
I only gave this a middling rating,but I will have to admit that I did enjoy lots of it. I liked the main character. He is naive and positive. I am a sucker for characters who don't give up. I also was reminded a lot of Robert Silverberg, the writing was very familiar to some of his work.
I rarely listen to music and I never heard this album by Rush. I think they should have included the album with the book. For me this was an adventure book. The book has a cool afterword which explains how the book was written and why. It pretty much explains each and every adventure.
If you like Robert Silverberg, you should like this.
"Started out great but fell short of expectations"
Good, not great
I would have had more interactions with the Anarchist. I feel like his character wasn't explored enough. He acted as a catalyst for the story but yet he disappeared and we didn't hear from him for much of the story.
The Anarchist. Neil Peart surprised me with his performance. I never would have guessed that he would do voice work. I was beyond impressed with his ability.
We are brought up to believe.
Though Neil's performance surprised me, I had to look at it objectively...that's why I only gave him four stars. The novel starts out great and very interesting but I feel like it lost its intrigue along the way. As stated above, I would have loved more with The Anarchist and getting into his character. The story kind of faded out while I was expecting it to "go out with a bang". Still a good book. I would recommend this to any RUSH fan. I would also recommend it to any high school students. I had to do a paper on a dystopian novel and this would have been great for that!
"A great companion to the album"
I enjoyed listening to the person who actually had the original idea actually perform the final work.
This is the first book I've read in the steampunk genre, so there's not much that I can compare it directly to. But, it is similar to "The Odyssey" - as the main character is traveling and getting into fantastic journeys.
I liked the scenes where Owen is investigating the Seven Cities of Gold - reminiscent of my backpacking travels in the Southwest (America) looking at the Anasazi ruins.
"All the journeys of this great adventure ... it didn't always feel that way"
It makes the album so much more meaningful when you read the book - you get some additional meaning from the songs.
"Great story and ties the songs in their album"
Great story with an ending that I can relate to. I also liked the author's reference to lyrics in older Rush songs.
Very satisfying read and also enjoyed the reading by Neil Peart.
"Amazing Story and Narration"
The story is so complex with so many references to songs and other great works of art that I would love to read again to catch all of them.
The main characters decision to hide an achievement to keep other people's dreams alive.
The clockmaker, although all the characters had unique voices that fit how you think that character should sound. The distinctness of the individual voices made the story very easy to follow.
Yes, unfortunately it was broken up into three sittings for me and when I was not reading the book it was all I could think about.
I felt the same way after reading this book as the first time I read Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.
"Absolutely amazing and inspiring"
Such an amazing story from one of the best writers/drummers out there. hoping for a movie someday
"Love the story"
This story resonates with me, for whatever reason. Maybe, as a truck driver from a small town, I understand the wanderlust. A classic coming-of-age story in a steampunk universe is something I didn't expect to like - but this has become my favorite story.
Neal Peart may be a tremendous drummer, a fantastic songwriter, and a good novel/story righter, but he's not a good narrator. He emphasizes the wrong words in sentences, overemphasizes words that don't need emphasis (me, my, I, and so forth), and overall sounds like he's narrating a children's book to a 3-year-old child. It detracts from the overall story. He makes Owen, 17 years old and a young man at the end of the story, sound like a wayward 6-year-old, and the Anarchist as a petulant child.
But ...... I listen to it anyway.. In fact, I just finished a third listen in a row, simply because I like the story.
Imaginative Fun Thought-provoking(?)
Candide, you'll see.
Had no idea his speaking voice was so rich. He emoted enough to enhance without being indulgent. He may have a future in this profession if he can't get his music career rolling.
Yes, experience it for yourself.
I strongly recommend this book. It has many levels to enjoy and ponder.I have always wondered what talking with Neil Peart would be like. Now I have a quasi-idea. I have been a RUSH fan for decades, the lyrical Easter eggs in the text are so fun to discover."All is for the best"
"Great Listen By The Pool!"
Been a fan of Neal Peart for a long time and i like his style of writing and now he's teamed up with Kevin Anderson it could only be a good thing; and so it proved. Thoroughly enjoyed the escapism while listening by the pool with a cold one. Pearts imagination has always been prevalent with the writing for Rush and along with Anderson they have put together a great little novel that flows and interlinks smoothly. really enjoyed and am looking forward to the next collaboration between these two.

ACTIVE: 10 minTOTAL: 10 min

My Life at the Theater: A Skull In Connemara
Nice little prologue here courtesy of I don't know who but thanks.
We saw this at the Abreacht Theater in September, 2012. I am a sucker for Irish plays and this little theater put on a good production. Martin McDonagh is the playwright. For one week each autumn, Mick Dowd is hired to dissenter the bones in a local cemetery to make room for new arrivals. As the time comes for him to dig up the bones of his dead wife, rumors begin to circulate about her sudden death seven years before. Really nice production.

Didn't see that one, unfortunately, but saw his earlier, extremely depressing BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE.
On the other hand I really liked IN BRUGES.

The animation artist is Neil Sanders and he lives in Melbourne, Australia. Apparenlty this was done for a local production of the play and it was rear projected. The audience saw it through the set and a layer of stage fog prior to the start of the play. I found all this out by going to his user profile on YouTube.

Teresa looked uber cute in an-all pink jumper that she matched with coral blue earrings. Tell us, have you picked up her new cookbook, "Fabulicious: Fast and Fit?" I've already tried her lasagna, and let me tell you it's good! I can't wait to try out her special Tiramisu recipe, too.

Cell phones are becoming increasingly multifunctional, equipped with TV viewing and game playing capabilities, and the trend is forcing handsets to consume more power.
Currently available lithium-ion batteries for cell phones, however, last only about two hours if users continuously watch TV on their terminals. A handset powered by a fuel cell is expected to last more than twice as long, the sources said.
The planned fuel cell would extract hydrogen ions from methanol to generate power, meaning that no time would be required for recharging because simply replenishing its methanol supply would allow the battery to operate continuously.
The partners in both projects seek to develop prototype cell phones powered by a fuel cell by the end of fiscal 2005.

Oh concealer. The product that helps us hide, highlight, contour and everything in between. While you can definitely get the same effects by using fuller coverage foundations, there's something about the little containers that makes us feel more "confident". Here's a breakdown of some of my favorite concealers.
L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer
I bought the LA Girl Pro Conceal because I saw rave reviews on Youtube. You can get a container of this stuff for less than $5, and it comes in a wide array of colors. I like it because it's definitely full coverage and very affordable. However, it's on the bottom of my list today, because, let's face it, you get what you pay for. When you compare it to higher end products, it definitely isn't the best quality out there. But trust me, it does this job.
MAC Studio Finish Concealer
This Studio Finish Concealer ($19) one of those holy grail products. Much like the LA Colors Pro conceal mentioned above, this is a product you have to "warm up" and work with on the right skin textures to get maximum effects. I typically swirl a flat or domed brush onto the concealer to pick up the product, then apply it to my face. If I'm using it all over, I scoop a bit onto the back of my hand and rub it down a bit with my finger. This makes it super creamy. But let me say that this covers anything. In fact, this is the little sister of MAC's Full Coverage foundation. Same product, smaller jar.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
My goodness, my goodness. This Bobbi Brown concealer ($25) is lightweight, super creamy and crazy powerful. I once bought this in a kit that had a pressed powder and eye brightener in it. And when I realized that this was such a stellar product, I picked up another shade. This is top quality.
Make Up For Ever Full Cover
MUFE makes this fantastic lightweight concealer ($32) that works wonders. It goes on creamy, then dries down to a satiny, beautiful finish. When I think of multi-purpose makeup, I think of this. I'll show you how to use it in this video.

A little water never hurt anybody
Trip Start
Jun 04, 2008
Trip End
Jun 24, 2008
Today was designated "Industrial culture day". You might be asking what in the world that means. Well, I'm not quite sure, but it was fun! We started out at the Zollverein, an old coal mine. It used to be the largest coal mine in operation in the entire world. Now the entire complex is various museums. The first one we went to was about the coal industry. We walked down this dark hall and dark stairway made out of the old shaft that was only lit by red-orange light. It reminded me of the last part of Star Wars 3 with the fire planet but when I told that to Kevin he looked at me like I was crazy. Anyways, we went down the stairs in the shaft to a room the next floor down. It was still fairly dark except for projections of pictures on the walls. Most of the projectors were stationed to the wall, but some were rotating between the floor, ceiling, and various walls. It was like, BAM!, picture on the floor in front of you. They were projecting pictures of Germany in various periods after the war. The pictures were interesting but the room kind of creeped me out. It was cold and everything was echoing oddly. I think they had some sort of music playing too.
After the shaft part we went over to the red dot design museum. Red dot gives awards to objects with outstanding design. When I say objects I mean everything. They had cell phones, toys, plastic cups, cars, mp3 players, key rings, pens, lamps, sinks, vacuum cleaners, chairs, sofas, silverware, toys, power tools, deck awning, etc. This was still in the old mine so it had this really cool contrast between old, rusty equipment and new, innovative design. I took about a gazillion pictures because it was so weird to be looking at sinks in a museum. I fell in love with a refriderator-cupboard set and took some video of Mom as a model opening and closing the doors. If anybody sees Grandpa Myron get him to a computer and show him the video(after I get around to putting it up, of course). He would like seeing it.
Our next industrial spot was a big hill. It happened to be one of the big hills all over Essen made of rock they had to take out to make the mines. To mark the spot some person stuck their climbable metal art project on top. We climbed all 200 steps up and 200 back down in the rain. If you're on top of things right now you're wondering why we were standing on a large chunk of metal on a hill in the rain. It wasn't lightning at all and it had a great view. Kevin and I started spitting off of the top to see if we could hit the ground and not one of the bars crossing below us. I won.
We went to a mall in Oberhausen for lunch. They have food courts just like we do except a whole lot nicer. It had a Turkish place, a French place, a taco place, a place just for curry flavored bratwurst, and even an American hotdog place. We ended up all getting currywurst except for Kevin, who got something from the Turkish place. I honestly don't even know what it was made of. Mom and I had a small disaster in line after everyone else had gone to sit down. Apparently the old lady next to us asked us to pass her 3 forks. Once we figured out the fork part of what she said we passed her 2 becuase thats what we thought she said. She said something back and got very cross when we said sorry, we don't speak German. Luckily the lady on the other side passed her one and told us "Three. She said three." They had all these advertisements for the "public viewing" of the soccer game tonight on the big screen in the food court. That's what everybody else is watching while I'm down here writing. I left when Germany started playing crappy.
Our last bit of industrial culture was a gasometer in Oberhausen. I swear I'm not making that name up. A long time ago teh gasometer did some complicated process with steam and gas but now its a huge empty cylinder. Its actually not quite empty. The first floor currently houses 58 satellite pictures of earth in an exibit called "The Eye of Heaven." We even found a picture of the circles made by irrigation hoses near Garden City. The lady at the desk was impressed that we were from Kansas when we bought the postcard with the picture on it.
The second floor had pictures of past exhibits from the gasometer and industrial places in Europe. Most of the industiral places seemed to be in the UK. They also had these old TVs that some guy has made into dioramas.
The top part housed another exhibition titled "Light Heaven." The ceiling more the 100 meters over our heads and the walls had lights all over them, kind of like a disco ball except not moving. They had some ambient sounds like a gong and a tuning fork playing and echoing around along with the echoes of the people stamping and doing bird calls and such. They had an elavator that went to the top and of course we took it. I even got some video in the elevator but it doesn't really catch the feeling.
I'm not sure what we're doing tomorrow except for girl's night at the ballet in the evening. Sadly our time in Germany is running out but we're looking forward to England!

Written by Staff Reports
The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is urging churches to use the one-year anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks as an opportunity to build local bridges and reach out to those in need.
Its nationwide campaign—called "9/11: Respond to the Call"—seeks to enlist congregations to work in service projects at soup kitchens, prisons and programs for youth and the elderly.
"You don't have to go to New York City or the Pentagon to respond to this disaster," says the Rev. Jayna Powell, director of the church's Volunteers in Mission program. "This is something that can happen in our own communities."
Powell is urging the church's 3,800 local congregations to collaborate with Jewish and Muslim groups to help local nonprofits "design realistic projects that meet immediate needs." She has enlisted the help of Esther Heymann, whose 28-year-old daughter, Honor Elizabeth Wainio, died on United Flight 93, which crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside during the attacks.
"What those people are doing is what we all should be doing in response to my daughter's death and the death of thousands on September 11," Heymann says in promotional materials. "Please tell them for me, 'Thank you.' I do not want revenge ... I want peace."

Camping permit system to begin this season at Ruby-Horsethief (01-11-12) |
Beginning this year, permits will be required to camp on this stretch of river from May 1 to Sept. 30. Camping is only allowed in 35 designated sites, and a permit system will require boaters to reserve a campsite before they depart. "We've had a tremendous growth in the use of this stretch of river in the past 10 years," said Katie Stevens, Manager of the BLM's McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area, which manages this section of the Colorado River. "We worked closely with private boaters and outfitters over several years to develop this permit system – and to identify and improve an additional four new campsites that are available for the first time this year. This summer, we'll complete three additional sites, for a total of 35 sites." For the 2012 season, the permits will be issued with no fee. Beginning in 2013, a fee based on group size will likely be charged for the camping permits. Camping permits for Friday and Saturday nights will be issued by the Grand Junction Field Office by phone or in-person Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon. The camping permits will be available on a first come, first served basis beginning the Monday 60 days before the weekend of use. Permits will be issued to a trip leader and an alternate trip leader. "We may develop an on-line permit system for future seasons," Stevens said. "For now, look to our website for key permitting information, such as a weekend permit availability calendar." Camping permits would be self-issued at the Loma boat launch for Sunday through Thursday overnight use. A permit is also required for day-use and motorized-use of Ruby Horsethief. These permits will help BLM track use of the area. They are unlimited and free, and they will not be part of the fee system planned to begin in 2013. More than 9,500 visitors registered at the Loma boat launch, and more than 20,000 nights of camping were recorded along the Ruby-Horsethief stretch in 2010. Specific details about the the permit system are available by logging onto ### Ruby-Horsethief Permit System FAQs Why will permits be required for the Ruby-Horsethief Canyons? Who needs a permit for Ruby-Horsethief? Also, unlimited, free permits are required for day-use and motorized-use. Is there a fee for the permits? How do I get a permit? You can obtain your weekend camping permit beginning the Monday 60 days before the weekend of use. Permits will be issued to a trip leader and an alternate trip leader. Permits for camping Sunday through Thursday nights, day-use, and motorized-use will be self-issued at the Loma boat launch. Can I get my permit on-line or through e-mail? How do I get more information about the permits and camping areas? Between May 1 and Sept. 30, a weekend permit availability calendar will be posted to the GJFO website each afternoon, Monday through Friday. Available weekday campsites will not be updated online. Can I bring my dog? How are camping permits allocated among private boaters and commercial rafting outfitters? Why does the BLM allow commercial rafting outfitters to use this stretch of river? In return for the privilege of operating on the public lands, commercial outfitters return 3 percent of their gross receipts to BLM. These fees are put back into management of the area. Why didn't BLM limit the number of people that could use the area at any one time? Why isn't day use or motorized use being limited as part of this project? What if I want to combine a Ruby-Horsethief and Westwater trip? Campsites are typically available for weekday trips through Ruby, and visitors will likely be able to obtain a campsite by signing in at Loma if launching on a weekday. What if my planned trip includes both weekday and weekend camping? What if I miss my assigned campsite? What specific rules are in place for Ruby Horsethief? |
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands. |

"This site has been a labor of love and I've enjoyed every moment that I've spent building it. Probably the biggest pleasure I've received has, becoming re-acquainted with many old friends and acquainted with many new friends with roots in Auburn and Logan County. At Yahoo-Geocities, the host of this site, 15 megabytes of disk space is offered for free if you allow advertising on the site, and that's how we started. In less than six months we passed the 15 megabyte mark and it started costing and, by then, I was so caught up in the activity and the positive reactions I was getting on this project, I paid no thought to the minor cost and allowed them to charge my debit card.

(beractant) Intratracheal Suspension
Sterile Suspension
For Intratracheal Administration Only
SURVANTA ® (beractant) Intratracheal Suspension is a sterile, non-pyrogenic pulmonary surfactant intended for intratracheal use only. It is a natural bovine lung extract containing phospholipids, neutral lipids, fatty acids, and surfactant-associated proteins to which colfosceril palmitate (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine), palmitic acid, and tripalmitin are added to standardize the composition and to mimic surface-tension lowering properties of natural lung surfactant. The resulting composition provides 25 mg/mL phospholipids (including 11.0-15.5 mg/mL disaturated phosphatidylcholine), 0.5-1.75 mg/mL triglycerides, 1.4-3.5 mg/mL free fatty acids, and less than 1.0 mg/mL protein. It is suspended in 0.9% sodium chloride solution, and heat-sterilized. SURVANTA contains no preservatives. Its protein content consists of two hydrophobic, low molecular weight, surfactant-associated proteins commonly known as SP-B and SP-C. It does not contain the hydrophilic, large molecular weight surfactant-associated protein known as SP-A.
Each mL of SURVANTA contains 25 mg of phospholipids. It is an off-white to light brown liquid supplied in single-use glass vials containing 4 mL (100 mg phospholipids) or 8 mL (200 mg phospholipids).
What are the possible side effects of beractant (Survanta Intratracheal)?
There is a possibility that the baby will have breathing difficulties during the beractant treatment, and these problems may require further treatment by health care professionals. Your baby will remain under constant supervision during treatment with beractant.
Tell your child's caregivers at once if the child has any of these serious side effects:
- pale skin;
- slow heartbeat;
- breathing that stops;
- urinating less than usual; or
- blood in the urine.
Less serious side effects include:
- noisy...

Mayor Carty Finkbeiner appears to be running out of time. The "Take Back Toledo" group sure got a lot of people to say they have had enough of Carty.
It looks like his influence is not what it once was. His power to intimidate and to impose his will over city council and others seems to have lost much of its force. Fairly or unfairly, when good things happen, a politician receives the credit. When bad things happen, the get the blame.
The economic collapse of northwest Ohio is a very bad thing. The mayor is not the cause, but he is receiving a big share of the blame. Unlike great politicians who somehow shape the things they encounter so that either the outcomes, or at least the spin, are positive; this mayor gets smaller as the deficit gets larger. The clock is ticking.

Stewart thumb injury might shuffle USC rotation
LOS ANGELES – Just when USC's basketball team started to settle into a rotation under interim Coach Bob Cantu, an injury shook things up this week.
Reserve forward Ari Stewart will miss at least the next three weeks with a broken thumb. That news wouldn't have been very significant a month ago, when Stewart rarely played under former Coach Kevin O'Neill, but Stewart had averaged 13 minutes in seven games since Cantu's promotion.
Stewart, at his best, is a versatile 6-foot-7 small forward who can defend well and make mid-range jumpers. He scored 11 points in 18 minutes in USC's victory over Washington State last Thursday.
"It's a big loss for us, because he was playing really well," Cantu said Tuesday.
The Trojans (11-13, 6-5) now head north, to face Stanford on Thursday and Cal on Saturday. In Stewart's absence, Eric Wise, a starter at power forward, will likely shift to small forward in some situations, and little-used players such as Renaldo Woolridge and Brendyn Taylor might see their minutes increased.
"We're just going to have to do it with a little bit of everybody stepping up, to pick up (Stewart's) minutes and offensive production," Cantu said. "We're kind of open to anything."
The roster math is a little scary for USC, which has three 7-foot post players on scholarship but only one natural point guard.
Twice in the last three games, fifth-year senior Jio Fontan has picked up a fourth foul in the second half, and the Trojans have turned to his backup, freshman walk-on Chass Bryan. USC has survived both times.
Against UCLA, Bryan played four second-half minutes after Fontan's foul trouble. USC lost a nine-point lead but won in overtime. Against Washington on Sunday, Bryan played more than nine minutes in the second half and thrived, as he hit two big 3-pointers and helped maintain USC's 10-point lead.
"Chass is a great player," USC guard J.T. Terrell said. "I don't think there's a drop-off from when Jio is in the game to when Chass is in the game. He plays hard at both ends. He knocks down open shots."
USC beat Stanford 71-69 on Jan. 3 at Galen Center, but the Cardinal (15-9, 6-5) has won four of its last five games, including a takedown of then No. 10 Oregon at home two weeks ago.
"You've got to respect all their shooters, because everyone is making shots," Cantu said.
In that victory over Oregon, Stanford shot 52 percent from the field. Stanford has an inside-outside threat with forward Dwight Powell (15.1 points, 7.9 rebounds per game) and guard Chasson Randle (13.6 points).
USC has made a dramatic in-season improvement at the free-throw line. In victories over the Washington schools last week, the Trojans went a combined 32 for 37 from the line.
Just a month ago, in a two-point loss to Oregon, USC went 20 of 32 from the line. Since then, Cantu has introduced "pressure free throws" to practices. When a designated USC player misses a free throw, the entire team is forced to run between drills.
"I don't know if that's a factor," Cantu said, "but guys are playing with confidence and feeling good, and stepping up to the line and making them when they count."

Whether you're planning a potluck for your colleagues or want to make this year's holiday dinner easier on your relatives, the invitations you send should be informative, yet catchy enough to get everyone excited about attending the event. Wording can be theme-specific, or you can include an entertaining verse or two that will make the potluck invitation a keepsake.
Rhyming Invitations
Make the potluck invitations festive by including a short rhyme at the beginning of the document like, "It's our favorite time of year. The annual Halloween potluck is here!" Choose black or orange invitation stock paper and adorn the invites with small stickers in the shape of pumpkins or other fall foods like apples and cranberries. Or, create a birthday potluck invite that begins with the words, "Prepare your best dish -- it's (guest of honor)'s birthday wish!"
Food-Specific Invitations
Keep in mind that a potluck can include one type of fare, like dessert or vegetarian dishes. Begin the invitation with something like, "Let's have a Merry Veggie Christmas! Bring your favorite vegan or vegetarian dishes for all to sample." Or, start the invite with, "It's Christmas cookie time! You and your favorite confection are invited to a holiday dessert potluck."
Guest-Specific Invitations
If you're having a small potluck with close family friends and relatives, make each invitation specific to the guests so everyone knows what they're bringing to the celebration. For instance, start all the invitations with "Ole! We're having a Mexican potluck fiesta!" Add a personalized element to the end of the invite like, "Could you bring some of your famous black beans and rice? Everyone loves it!" or, "It won't be a party without the delicious Mexican cornbread you make. Could you bring some to the party?"
Themed Invitations
Use the time of year the potluck will take place as the theme for the invitation. For instance, if you're hosting a Thanksgiving potluck at your home for friends and loved ones, say something like, "Let's create a new tradition! Bring your favorite Thanksgiving side dish to potluck. I'll provide the turkey and some fun party games!" Ask each guest to RSVP at least a week before the party to let you know what they're bringing to the celebration so you can make sure there aren't too many duplicates.

Maps, transcriptions, photos and information for cemeteries in every county in Texas.
McCulloch County Cemeteries
Welcome to McCulloch County Cemeteries!
We've compiled cemetery listings, inventories, transcriptions, headstone photos, grave readings, maps, location and other information for each of the cemeteries in McCulloch County -- and we're looking for more information to add to these pages.
McCulloch County, located in Central Texas, is surrounded by Coleman, Brown, San Saba, Mason, Menard, and Concho Counties. Brady, the county seat is about 140 miles north of San Antonio.
Cemeteries List
Cemeteries are sorted alphabetically by name. To make it easier to find the cemetery you are looking for, if the cemetery is known by two (or three or more) names, the cemetery is also listed by those names, as well. So, you may find one cemetery listed several times because over time the cemetery called different names.
McCulloch County Cemeteries
Whenever possible, we included a map to the cemetery. Sometimes we could get you close on the map, but not to the cemetery gate (you'll see those occasions labelled as "map location approximate").

Two years after launching its Infinite line of digital comics, Marvel Entertainment said it intends to expand the line's offerings with its first all-ages titles as it moves to attract younger readers familiar with characters like Spider-Man from animated television shows.
Announced Sunday at the annual South by Southwest event in Austin, Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso and Kristin Vincent, the vice president of its digital products, called the new "Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man" digital title the publisher's first for kids in the Infinite format.
"We're trying to reach the next generation of comics fans," Vincent said. "These stories resonate with kids."
By taking tales from the television series of the same name, the publisher hopes the digital comics will find an audience in kids who are more used to reading on a tablet than traditional paper.
"The story telling just lends itself naturally to a tablet — images replace the other images," she said, adding that while it's not animation, the pages and story are bright, vivid and redolent of what kids see on television.
With the Infinite format — a digital-only medium that features stories and art native to digital readers — Alonso believes kids will get their first hands-on experience with comics in a way more akin to what they've experienced with TV.
"It will excite them and it's in a format they understand," he said of the title, which is due out later this year and will eventually be available in more than 10 languages around the globe.
The stories feature writers known to readers of traditional comics, including Eugene Son, Matt Kindt, Cullen Bunn and Tim Seeley, along with artists Luciano Vecchio and Soutchey Leimetry and storyboards by J.L. Mast and Geoffrey Beaulieu.
Like the ongoing TV series on Disney XD, the Infinite series will focus on Peter Parker and his adventures as Spider-Man. It will feature other teenage heroes, too, including Iron Fist, Power Man, White Tiger and Nova, Alonso said.
"This is going to be the first time that our Infinite Comics format will feature Spider-Man and the team of young heroes. It's a very diverse, multi-ethnic cast with very different power sets," he said. "All of them are going to appeal to very different types of kids."

Prohibition causes huge profit margins for dealers cause turf wars cause violence causes public concern causes calls to "do something" cause gun control. If you're for prohibition, you are for gun control. That's irrespective of the substance to be prohibited.
I posted that on Facebook yesterday, in response to one of my FB friends posting about the pot legalization law in Colorado. I want to expand on that statement a little, even though in its current form it's pretty much distilled down into the TL;DR form already.
Prohibition of a desired substance or item always causes a black market, unless you have police powers and social controls similar to the German occupation forces in WWII Eastern Europe. (And the fact that even the Nazis were never able to fully suppress the black market for cigarettes and butter despite death penalties for "economic parasites" just shows how nigh-impossible it is to kill that sort of entrepreneurship.) The reason is simple: government prohibition of a desired good makes that good artificially expensive, and all the profits go to those willing to risk bucking the system. As the Prohibition was an effective price control and profit guarantee for bootleggers, hooch runners, and speakeasies, the current War on Some Drugs serves in the same fashion for pot growers, cocaine smugglers, and meth cooks. The risks are high, but when you pass a law that effectively puts a 10,000% profit margin on a simple plant product, you will always have plenty of people taking the risks involved in its manufacture and distribution. That's a simple economic fact, and working against it is as pointless as working against gravity.
(It may not seem obvious from the position of a reasonably prosperous American suburbanite, but imagine I put an ad on Craigslist and offer twenty times the average annual U.S. salary to volunteers willing to smuggle twenty pounds of banned Earl Grey tea into a foreign country. How many takers do you think I would get per week? Answer that question to yourself, and you'll realize why it's utterly pointless when the DEA busts some scraggly smuggler at the border crossing with a few pounds of Colombian marching powder sewn into his car seat.)
Because people can make astronomical profits serving the market for the prohibited goods, turf wars between the suppliers are also inevitable. And because they're all operating in an extralegal space already, they solve their competition issues in an extralegal way—gang violence. Prohibitions drive up the crime statistics directly (turf warfare between the gangs and syndicates involved), and indirectly (the ancillary crime related to the customers of those syndicates having to finance their purchases via property crime). Sooner or later, the public violence gets to a point where Joe and Jane Q. Public want Something To Be Done, and that something is often a push for arms control. The Prohibition violence brought us NFA '34, banning what were perceived the typical tools of the trade of gangsters: short-barreled shotguns and automatic weapons. (Machine guns got slapped with a tax rather than banned outright, but a $200 tax stamp on a gun retailing for less than half that in a time where the average annual wage is $1,300 is effectively a ban.) The 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill was a result of the drug wars of the 1980s and 1990s (and Joe and Jane Q. Public watching Miami Vice as a documentary). And that stuff is a mere inconvenience compared to the awful excesses of asset forfeiture laws, which have given police departments all over the country a financial incentive to outright steal property from citizens without the inconvenience of having to prove that a crime occurred.
It's interesting how the same people who scoff at the notion that criminals won't use guns if they're banned can simultaneously hold the opinion that people will stop using or trading in drugs when they're banned. They'll use the same arguments the gun control crowd makes in favor of gun bans: at least it'll be more difficult to get them, we can just come up with really draconian punishments for offenders, and doing nothing will make things worse. If that logic doesn't apply to guns, why should it apply to drugs—which are easier to make and smuggle, and carry much higher profit margins? The rules of the market are what they are, and they don't bend around a pet cause. And what if that "doing something" is in fact far worse than doing nothing? Gun control is unilateral disarmament of the law-abiding citizen in favor of the criminal. Drug prohibition is government-enforced price control for drug cartels, and a universal adaptor for an overreaching police state. Both cures are far more poisonous to the host than the problems they mean to fix. And the kicker is that support for the latter invariably results in getting more of the former.
