A four-run first starts the ball rolling as the Phils sink the Pirates, 8-3.
A four-run first inning, helped along by several Pirates' errors, starts the ball rolling for the Phils as they crush the Bucos, 8-3.
The Phils took the lead in the first as, with a man on third, and with one man out, Hunter Pence hits a single to right, knocking in Jimmy Rollins, who had earlier doubled, then went to third on Juan Pierre's sacrifice bunt, 1-3, as he beat the throw to the plate, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead. The Phils then took a 2-0 lead as, with Pence on first, and with still one man out, Carlos Ruiz hits a single to right, which would send Pence to third base, beating out right fielder Jose Tabata's throw to third, which would allow Ruiz to move up to second base, as third baseman Pedro Alvarez throw the ball into right field for an error, which would allow Pence to score, and Ruiz to reach third base, as Tabata committed his own throwing error. The Phils then made it a 3-0 lead as Shane Victorino hits an RBI single, scoring Ruiz. The Phils then added to their lead as, with one man on, and with still only one man out, Placido Polanco hits a single to right, sending Victorino to third, before scoring on Tabata's throwing error to third, his second error of the inning, giving the Phils a 4-0 lead, while Polanco would move up to second base. The Pirates got a run back in the third as, with one man out, Tabata hits a solo home run, his third home run of the year, making it a 4-1 Phils' lead. The Phils would get that run back in their half of the third as, with a runner on third, and with two men out, Polanco hits an RBI single, knocking in Ruiz, who had earlier singled, stole second base, then went to third on Victorino's ground out, 4-3, giving the Phils a 5-1 lead. The Pirates would cut the Phils' lead to 5-2 as, with a runner on second, and with two men out, Clint Barmes hits an RBI single, knocking in Neil Walker, who had started the inning off with a double. The Phils increased their lead in their half of the fourth as, with one man on, and with one man out, Rollins hits a two-run home run, his eighth home run of the season, and his fourth home run in five games, knocking in Mike Fontenot, who had started the inning off with a single, then moved up to second base on Jeff Karstens' wild pitch, giving the Phils a 7-2 lead. The Pirates would get a run back in the fifth as, with a man on second, and with one man out, Andrew McCutchen hits an RBI single, knocking in Tabata, who had earlier reached base on Polanco's throwing error, ending up on second base, making it a 7-3 Phils' lead. The Phils got that run back in the seventh as, with the bases loaded, via a single by Ruiz, followed by walks to Victorino and Polanco, and with nobody out, Ty Wigginton forced in a run with a walk, forcing in Ruiz, giving the Phils an 8-3 lead, while moving both Victorino and Polanco up a base, leaving the bases loaded. That would be the final score as Chad Qualls pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.
Joe Blanton (7-6, 4.87) got the win as he pitched seven innings, giving up three runs, only two of which were earned, on seven hits and a walk, while striking out eight. Jake Diekman pitched a scoreless inning, giving up a walk, while striking out a batter. Chad Qualls pitched a 1-2-3 inning. Jeff Karstens (0-2, 6.35) took the lost as he went five innings, giving up seven runs, only six of which were earned, on eleven hits and a wild pitch, while striking out four. Doug Slaten pitched two innings, giving up a run on a hit and three walks, while striking out three. Jared Hughes pitched a 1-2-3 inning, striking out a batter.
The Phils had twelve hits in the game, with Carlos Ruiz leading the ballclub with three hits, all singles, raising his average back to .354. Jimmy Rollins (Double, Home Run, 2 RBIs), Hunter Pence (Singles, RBI), Placido Polanco (Singles, RBI), and Mike Fontenot (Singles) all followed with two hits each. Shane Victorino had the final Phil hit, a single, knocking in a run. Ty Wigginton had the other Phil RBI, via a walk, as the other two runs came in on a pair of Pirates' errors. The Phils also had three walks and a stolen base (Ruiz (3)) in the ballgame.
The Phils (35-40, 4th East) will continue their series with the Pirates (38-34, 2nd Central) with a night game tonight. The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park and is to start at 7:05 pm EDT. The Phils will send to the mound Vance Worley (3-4, 2.78), who is coming off a lost to the Rockies on June 21, as he pitched seven innings, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks, while striking out two, in the Phils' 4-1 lost. He is still looking for his first win since coming off the DL. The Pirates will counter with Erik Bedard (4-7, 4.13), who is coming off a no-decision against the Twins on June 20, as he went six innings, giving up a run on four hits and two walks, while striking out seven, in the Pirates' 2-1 lost. He will be trying for his fifth win of the season. The Phils will be trying to gain some momentum from last night's win as they get ready to reactive Chase Utley.

Toddler Tips
Nursing a Teething Toddler
From NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 25 No. 4, 2008, pp. 36-37
"Toddler Tips" is a regular feature of the magazine NEW BEGINNINGS, published bimonthly by La Leche League International. In this column, suggestions are offered by readers of NEW BEGINNINGS to help parents of toddlers. Various points of view are presented. Not all of the information may be pertinent to your family's lifestyle. This information is general in nature, and not intended to be advice, medical or otherwise.
Mother's Situation
The first year of breastfeeding my son has been wonderful -- I am thrilled to be able to go past the one-year mark. Suddenly, however, he has started biting me sometimes while he nurses. I want to keep breastfeeding as long as possible, but I don't think I can handle being bitten much longer. I really don't want to wean. Does anyone have advice?
Mother's Response
When this started happening with my daughter, now almost 20 months old, I realized that I wasn't alone. Many women experience biting at one time or another while nursing. It can be a difficult time, certainly, but it does not necessarily mean the end of nursing. What helped me the most was trying to understand why my daughter was biting. For her, it was mostly related to teething. There were a couple of times, however, when I think it was simply experimentation. As soon as the biting occurred, I would immediately remove her from the breast. I made the mistake once of making a production out of it and exclaiming "ouch," which only made her laugh. She quickly learned, in as gentle a way as I could teach, that she couldn't bite mommy if she wanted to nurse. It took only a couple of times of me removing her from the breast before she stopped biting.

Congratulations on breastfeeding your baby for his entire first year. You are giving him a great start in life. Nursing a toddler brings its own share of issues, as you are finding! The good news is that as your son gets older, he will be able to understand more and more. I think breastfeeding is one of the best ways to teach a child respect for others. At one year old, your son is probably still a little young to really understand that biting hurts you. Can you predict when he will bite? Does he do it at the beginning of a nursing session? At the end? Can you correlate it with anything else going on such as during a let down or as he drifts off to sleep?
All of my children have gone through stages of biting. One good thing to remember is that it is usually a phase that will go away. In the meantime, it is helpful to find out why they are biting. My first baby would bite me toward the end of the nursing session when he was finished actively sucking. I had to be very proactive with him and take him off the breast as soon as I noticed he was finished or almost finished. It took a while, but eventually he understood and stopped biting. My second baby would bite me as soon as he latched on! Almost as if he was so excited to be nursing, he had to chomp down to make sure it was there! My third baby (who is 11 months old) is also doing this right now. If I take my time and deliberately, slowly help him latch on, he doesn't bite.
Another thing you can try is putting him down when he bites and stopping the nursing session. This method never gave me much success however, but you may have better luck! I hope the biting ends soon and you can continue to nurse your little one for many more months.

When my nursling was around the one-year mark, she began biting. I found a few things helpful. First, I reminded myself that it was just a phase and that it would not last for long. When she bit, I would calmly and firmly say "no biting" and take her off the breast. I had read that reacting too strongly could frighten baby and lead to a nursing strike. So, I would grit my teeth and stay calm. I also watched for cues that she was becoming distracted or that she was almost finished nursing as she seemed to bite near the end of a breastfeeding session. Finally, I tried some homeopathic teething remedies prior to nursing to help ease her pain and hopefully mine. The biting did not last long and at 18 months it is a thing of the past.

I remember when my son went through the same biting stage. It also was after the one year mark and my worries were just the same as yours, wondering if I would have to wean. I made up my mind that we both would get through this and I am happy to say I continued to nurse him until he was almost 16 months old.
During this time I realized that he was into biting everything, so when I was not nursing him I would offer him teething rings to chew on. When we did sit down to nurse, if he started to clamp down I pulled him off and told him "no bite" in a firm, gentle voice before trying to nurse again. The times he did bite me, after my initial yelp, I would tell him again in a firm voice "no bite," and then took a break for five minutes before trying again.
Often after he did bite, I cried from both pain and frustration. My baby would also cry after biting me, probably from the shock of my scream and the sternness of my voice. Just know that shedding a few tears is normal while you and your baby balance things out again. Be consistent in nursing your baby, and take a five or 10 minute break if your baby seems like he is going to bite. Talk to your baby about not biting and be mindful of his needs.

Your question fits my experience so well that I'm surprised I didn't write it! My son is 20 months old, and over the last eight months, we have gone through several periods of biting. I too have considered weaning him. Not only does it hurt (this last time he actually gave me a blister), but it also hurts my feelings. The times when I've really lost it and cried, he's laughed in response, and I think my occasional strong reactions have actually made him curious to do it more.
However, what I've learned over the months, and the reason I haven't weaned, is that my son bites when he's teething. (Although I'm not sure if he's biting because it feels good on his gums or in protest of the pain.)
Your son may be biting for a different reason, but I think the principle is the same. When our toddlers bite, they are trying to meet a need in a really unfortunate way. If you can analyze what is prompting the biting (teething, seeking attention, being distracted) and address the need rather than the behavior. Every time I've gotten through a period of biting, I've been glad that I didn't wean my son. In retrospect, I always see that when he's biting he really needs nursing, more not less.

My one-year-old had some issues with biting and experimenting while his teeth were coming in. It doesn't mean that it's time to wean, it just means you have a challenge to work with.
I had to work really hard using patience and gentle guidance to get through this stage. I was not always successful at it and spent some time in tears of frustration and, quite frankly, pain. I turned to my local LLL Group and got some great advice.
Some suggestions include keeping a teething implement handy to put in your son's mouth, a cloth that has been in the freezer for example. I always removed my child from the breast and said, "We don't bite." Sometimes it was a gentle admonishment, sometimes it came out as a yelp. I also told him, "No milk for biters."
My son is 20 months old now and he continues to nurse -- without biting!

With summer just around the corner, it may be hard to think of a little life snuffed out by freezing winter weather.
Composer Conrad Pope will take you there this weekend though. With help from Hans Christian Andersen, the Cambridge Symphony Orchestra, and conductor Cynthia Woods.
Pope has set Andersen's heartbreaking tale "The Little Match Girl" as a tone poem for orchestra, and the world premiere is set for this Saturday evening at MIT's Kresge Auditorium.
Woods, a Somerville resident, has worked with Pope for many years. "Conrad has such a way of connecting sound with imagery," she says. "When you hear this, you just want to know more and more about the characters."
The story of a homeless girl, futilely trying to sell her matches on the street and perishing in the attempt, is so heartrending that parents are often ambivalent about reading it to their kids. Woods herself says, "even as a child, I knew there were really scared children, on their own, on the streets."
The vividness of the tale makes a worthy subject for Pope's tone poem, which runs for one movement, about a half-hour long, but "will take place in several episodes, following her through the course of the day.
"You hear her walking through the snow - in fact the sound of snow falling runs throughout the piece," Woods says. "You hear the snowball fight, and see the old man get hit in the face. The story gets updated - there's a car involved, instead of a buggy. But you really follow the narrative. It is a tragedy: she becomes invisible, because there's no people in her life that love her."
Pope is a well-known film composer, having contributed to scores for "The Matrix" films, the final two "Hobbit" movies, "Pirates of the Caribbean," the "Indiana Jones" projects, and many others.
"I met Conrad at a conductor's workshop," Woods says, "at Hartt School in Hartford. We hit it off. I was incredibly impressed with his craftsmanship. I've worked with many new music scores, and in a lot of ways you don't know what you're missing until it's there in front of you.
"This score is easy to play, and the players got it right away. It may sound simple, but when he writes an oboe solo, it sounds like it belongs in the oboe. It just makes everything that much easier."
Pope's commission gets paired on the season-ending program with Aaron Copland's third symphony, the bold and optimistic work that climaxes with the theme from his "Fanfare for the Common Man."
"I feel like Copland created this beautiful language of American music," Woods says. "I've built the whole season around American composers and Americana, and I wanted Conrad's commission to be part of that.
"I also did it for my orchestra," she says. "I wanted to get those perfect 4ths and 5ths, that open resonance - the sound of American music - into their heads.
"I've wanted to do the Copland symphony for years," she says. "To me, it's one of the greatest American works. It sounds like what I would imagine walking down the street on the best day of your life would sound."

Public officials get update on FOI law in Torrington
TORRINGTON -- Municipalities, boards and commissions should think of everything they do in terms of being open and accessible to the public, the states's Freedom of Information Commission education officer told a crowd of about 50 at City Hall Tuesday evening.
Department heads, committee members, school officials and members of the public came to hear about meeting laws and open records.
"For democracy to work, people need to know what's going on," said Thomas Hennick, whose job it is to educate public officials, town staffs and the media about what is required under FOI law.
Hennick, a former reporter who also served on the Region 13 Board of Education in Middlefield and Durham for more than a decade but stepped down this summer, said it helps when someone on a board or commission is educated about the state's Freedom of Information Act.
"I've been able to see freedom of information at work from different angles," he said. "When you have someone who knows a little bit about FOI on a board, it becomes less of an issue."
The act defines what is a meeting (if a public board or commission is gathering in any fashion) and what constitutes open records (every record held by every public agency in the state). Of course, "there are exemptions," Hennick said.
While the FOI Act gives anyone the right to attend a public meeting, it does not guarantee anyone the right to speak. It does, however, give specific instructions for how to handle executive sessions -- parts of meetings the public is excluded from.
Public boards and commissions can only go into executive session to discuss personnel matters; pending claims; security issues; the sale, lease or purchase of a property; or if members are going to talk about exempt documents. No voting can be done in executive sessions.
If an employee or potential employee is going to be discussed in executive session, he or she must be notified at least 24 hours in advance and has the option of saying the discussion should be done in public. The board can invite the person into the executive session, but is not obligated to do so.
There are three types of meetings a town can hold: Regular, special and emergency meetings. Hennick warned against holding emergency meetings, because there are many different interpretations of what constitutes an emergency. Forgetting to post a meeting notice in advance does not allow for an emergency meeting, for example.
"'Ooops' is not a cause for an emergency," Hennick said about forgetfulness.
If there truly is an emergency like Tropical Storm Irene or last October's freak snowstorm, however, an emergency meeting may need to be organized. He recommends trying to get the word out about the meeting ahead of time to avoid suspicion and said FOI law requires minutes to be created within 72 hours that state the emergency.
The only requirements for minutes from regular meetings is that they contain who was in the meeting and who voted for what or whom. The vote must be made available within 48 hours of the meeting, and the full minutes -- whether approved or not by the board -- must be available within seven calendar days (seven business days for special meetings).
Minutes do not need to be very long or detailed, Hennick said.
"It does not mean you need to recreate 'War and Peace' every time you do the minutes," Hennick said.
When being asked for records sometimes, public agencies get possessive, skittish or just don't like the person asking for the records, Hennick said.
"But it doesn't matter who it is," Hennick said. "It doesn't matter what the request is."
Every request has to be looked at objectively under the law.
Any member of the public can walk into a public agency and ask to see a copy of a public document. If the person wants a copy of the document, however, the agency can ask for the request in writing and can charge up to 50 cents per page for the copies. The agency must respond to acknowledge the request within four days, otherwise it is considered an automatic denial.
"When someone believes they have been denied access, they come to us," Hennick said, referring to the FOI Commission.
Complaints must be filed within 30 days of the alleged meeting or denial of records.
There is no specific instructions in the FOI law indicating how long an agency has to produce the records requested, other than that it must be done "promptly" and "without undue delay."
"Don't stall, don't drag your feel," Hennic recommended to those present. "Don't set arbitrary time frames."
However, officials should try to be as open and accessible as possible, he concluded.

Steve Martin — comedian-actor-playwright-novelist — shows off another side of his multi-hyphenated self in Connecticut tonight..
The man who was once a "wild and crazy guy" gets down to some serious banjo pickin' when he and the Steep Canyon Rangers play Torrington's sold-out Warner Theatre. The tour highlights Martin's bluegrass CD "Rare Bird Alert," which includes contributions by Paul McCartney and the Dixie Chicks.
That's what happens when you become famous. You get to explore a relatively obscure form of music and still get other famous folks to work with you. You can also pack the house in a northern latitude that isn't exactly a banjo hot bed.
Martin said in a phone press conference that he doesn't see himself as an ambassador of bluegrass (know any other?) but merely a contributor to the cultural mix that fills halls like the Warner. A Chinese juggling troupe could be next, he said.
While Martin believes no audience is naive, most are not likely not to know a lot about bluegrass, so he and friends mix in comedy. (He composed a bluegrass version of "King Tut," a fan favorite of yore, for good measure).
"It's never one song after another," he said. "That could get old if you're not into the form of the music. We do a show. My feeling is that people leave really happy and maybe want to continue sampling this kind of music."
The real pressure is performing before aficionados who might be tougher judges of his musicianship, he explained. Think Kentucky.
But everywhere he goes, he attempts to break banjo stereotypes. You won't be seeing Martin and friends sucking on straw and wearing overalls with no shoes. They'll be in suits.
"Banjo jokes and bagpipe jokes are like Polish jokes," he said. "Now they're not really politically correct. So I'm trying to change that image. I'm trying to get it off on another instrument, maybe the harp."
The last time Martin came to Connecticut for a show, in 1997, he was promoting his off-Broadway hit "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" at the Stamford Center for the Arts. That was a few incarnations ago. Since then, the star and writer of such film comedies as "The Jerk," "Roxanne" and "Bowfinger" became an author ("Shop Girl," "The Pleasure of My Company," "An Object of Beauty") and a legitimate musician.
"Rare Bird Alert" follows his Grammy-winning 2009 album "The Crow." Martin was never really a dilettante. He's been playing since 1962, when he heard the Kingston Trio. He incorporated the five-string into his standup act and comedy albums in the 1970s, but being funny derailed his musical aspirations, as limited as they might have been with the banjo.
"I was always aiming to be in show business," he said. "And I really liked the idea of playing on stage. I liked the sort of ego trip of standing there and playing the banjo. I really liked that. But, you know, my heart was in comedy. And the fortunes led me to comedy."
Traveling on a tour bus brought him back to the good old days when he ruled the comedy world with his stand-up act. Only this time he's not solo, and he has the luxury of being able to fly back home when he wants. Heading an ensemble also has its advantages onstage. "I like the camaraderie of it," he said. "I like improving my musicianship."
Martin composed the title track based on his upcoming movie, "The Big Year," a goof with Owen Wilson and Jack Black on competitive bird watching. As one might expect, several other numbers elicit laughs, too. "Jubilation Day" recounts a welcomed romantic breakup. "Atheists Don't Have No Songs" speaks for itself.
The 65-year-old Renaissance man always comes back to jokes. He's even tweeting. On Kim Kardashian's recent, er, anatomy validation, he sent this missive to his 1.3 million Twitter followers: "I think it was Abraham Lincoln who said, "I want to get x-rays to prove my butt's real." He also proposed to Alec Baldwin, his "It's Complicated" co-star and Oscars co-host.
"It's kind of like going back to old-fashioned comedy writing, but it's only 140 characters," he said. "When I used to write for television, if something didn't work, there was always next week."
His creative output astounds his peers, but Martin has a simple explanation.
"I don't have a job, you know. I don't go to work. I wake up, and there's hours in the day."
STEVE MARTIN and the Steep Canyon Rangers perform "An Evening of Bluegrass & Banjo" tonight at 8 at the Warner Theatre, 68 Main St., Torrington. The show is sold out. Information: 860-489-7180 or http://www.warnertheatre.org.

United Way's Board of Directors and Campaign Chair Janette Labbee-Holdeman thank every citizen, employee and company for their donation to help Leavenworth County residents, raising $350,000 for this year, to benefit 20 non-profit organizations and many others who receive funds through United Way.
United Way's Board of Directors and Campaign Chair Janette Labbee-Holdeman thank every citizen, employee and company for their donation to help Leavenworth County residents, raising $350,000 for this year, to benefit 20 non-profit organizations and many others who receive funds through United Way.
Your generous support will help nearly 12,000 people in 2013 by strategically funding programs in education, income and health at more than 20 local agencies.
Although we were ambitious with this year's campaign goal, Campaign Chair Janette Labbee-Holdeman emphasized the $350,000 in donations for our community is massive and meaningful.
"In times of uncertainty, we are very grateful for all the contributions we have received to help the less fortunate in our communities. You can be assured that the United Way of Leavenworth County will do everything possible to stretch your contributions to the maximum, and will find ways to support our agencies throughout 2013," she said.
Historically a key strategy for our local United Way Campaign has been the Payroll Deduction Plan, where employees pledge a portion of their paychecks for the coming year. This year's results highlighted this year's challenge – getting more from less. Although the employee count of many of our corporate donors decreased, many of these organizations showed increased participation and donations.
A dramatic example of this is that Leavenworth County employees' giving increased 300 percent over last year. First State Bank and Trust in Basehor and Frontier Community Credit Union each had 100 percent employee participation. Also, companies added contributions though creative "in-house" fundraisers. Employees at the Kansas City Kansas Community College popped corn and sold hot dogs to students to achieve their goal.
These employee campaigns and many others will be recognized at our annual meeting on April 10. However, donations to the Combined Federal Campaign (comprised of employees of federal governmental agencies and which contributes greatly to the local campaign) were down this year, due to shrinking numbers at federal institutions and other factors. However, VA Medical Center employee giving was increased.
Another important source for funds comes from our residents throughout Leavenworth County, who gave 38 percent more than last year! While many of these donors are retired they join in United Way's efforts to improve the future.
These funds will mean a child will be able to get mentoring and tutoring, a family left homeless after a house fire will have a place to lay their heads at night, a veteran will have a place to help him get his life back on track, a battered family will have a place to heal. It is very heart-warming to receive donations from hardworking, compassionate and generous citizens. I'm continually awed by the stories I hear from our Corporate Campaign Leaders of how employees respond to the great need and open their pocketbooks. I'm also very optimistic that this spirit is contagious, and will continue to grow as people realize the impact that the United Way makes to Leavenworth County.
The "Together" theme applies so much to our non-profits who provide education support, health care and basic needs. They work together and communicate closely throughout the county to serve the needs of our citizens. They provide a "hand-up" not a hand-out. They also understand and appreciate the support of the community. Individuals in our community have been quietly donating to United Way for many, many years. You do not wish to be acknowledged, but you are truly appreciated.
We appreciate your donation to United Way. 100 percent of all individual donations designated to United Way's member organizations goes into the community and is not used for United Way administrative expense. You can still donate for this campaign online at www.unitedwaylvco.org, or call Nancy or Sheila at 913-682-2592. Our mailing address is PO Box 21, Leavenworth KS 66048. Truly, Together our Star Shines Brighter. Thank you for your support!
Nancy Bauder is the executive director of the United Way of Leavenworth County.

ABC to air new episode of "20/20" about 22-year-old found dead in Bradenton Beach hotel room.
The strange circumstances surrounding the 2009 death of Sheena Morris, and the multiple investigations and controversy it created, will once again be thrust into the national spotlight.
ABC's award-winning television news magazine "20/20" will air an hour-long broadcast Friday at 10 p.m.
It will feature a condensed version of the first episode the show broadcast about the "Sheena case" in October, as well as new footage shot this week in Sarasota and Tampa that uncovers new facts and provides new insight into the convoluted case, producers say.
ABC News producer Sean Dooley, who created the first episode along with the show's Emmy-winning anchor David Muir, wanted to update viewers by including the findings of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Art Brown III, the local assistant state attorney who declined to file any charges in the case.
FDLE investigated the death and Brown oversaw their investigation.
"When we aired out first hour, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement had yet to release their findings on the Morris death investigation, so we were eager to revisit the story once their report was released to the media," Dooley said. "�'20/20' has followed the Sheena Morris case for over a year. We were initially intrigued not only by the suspicious details Kelly Osborn uncovered about her daughter's death, but also her unyielding commitment to finding the truth about what happened to Sheena."
Brown found no evidence Morris was murdered, but her family has always maintained that the attractive 22-year-old was killed in a Bradenton Beach hotel.
Both the FDLE investigation and Brown's "decline memo," in which he lays out his reasoning for deciding not to file criminal charges, will be featured on the show's new footage.
Osborn says she is pleased that her daughter's death will receive more scrutiny.
"I've conducted more interviews and talked to more experts," Osborn said. "They concluded that the FDLE investigation has not been solidified — that their investigation lacks any proof Sheena committed suicide, and it lacks objectivity."
Dooley said the show's first episode was well received by a large national audience.
"Many people expressed support for Kelly and encouraged her to keep investigating her daughter's death," the producer said. "Viewers were also impressed by her determination to get answers from local law enforcement and her ability to convince the state's top investigators to take a second look at Sheena's case."
Death case
Morris was found hanging in a shower stall at a Bradenton Beach hotel room on New Year's Day 2009.
Bradenton Beach police detective Lenard Diaz quickly concluded that the young woman had killed herself.
In October 2012, after the Herald-Tribune published a series of stories about Morris' death, the FDLE assembled a panel of experts to re-examine the case. The group consisted of seasoned prosecutors, detectives, forensic specialists and medical examiners.
The experts concluded that the case should be reopened, and the FDLE assigned several special agents to the investigation.
Unlike other law enforcement agencies, where detectives routinely record their interviews on video or audio tape — especially when it involves a potential homicide or suspicious death — the two FDLE agents assigned to the Morris investigation did neither.
Their report features the agents' version of what Morris' friends, family and other witnesses told them.
As soon as a copy of their report was released, several witnesses said the agents had taken their statements out of context. One of Morris' friends claimed the agents took two statements about two separate periods of time in Morris' life and combined them together, creating an untruth.
FDLE declined to make the two agents available for interviews with the Herald-Tribune or for the "20/20" episode that is being aired on Friday.
Media attention
The ABC News hour was not the first national TV program to examine Morris' death.
In October 2012, Osborn and her daughter's former fiance, Joe Genoese, appeared on two episodes of the "Dr. Phil Show."
Genoese failed a polygraph examination on the show.
Jack Trimarco, the former chief polygraphist for the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, conducted the test. Trimarco concluded that Genoese was deceptive when asked if he killed Morris or was somehow involved in her death.
Genoese has always vehemently denied any involvement in Morris' death. He did not return calls from the Herald-Tribune for this story.
Trimarco has done more than 1,100 polygraph examinations, including some for the FBI's biggest cases, such as the Whitewater and Unabomber cases, as well as the investigation into the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, and the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. He also has conducted classified examinations of international terrorist suspects.
In their report, the FDLE agents said that Genoese passed a polygraph examination given to him by FDLE Agent Sharon Feola, who also strongly criticized Trimarco's polygraph exam.
Feola has been a polygraphist for seven years. She received her polygraph training and certification at a Pennsylvania National Guard base, through a program run by a local community college.
Trimarco has said that ethically, after criticizing his exam, Feola should have recused herself from conducting her own test, as this shows "bias."
Trimarco stands by his exam, which he said was peer-reviewed by several former FBI polygraphists with credentials similar to his own.
An official end
Brown, assistant state attorney, issued his decline memo in November, officially bringing the case to an end.
He was not interviewed by "20/20," telling a producer that he was in the middle of a trial and unavailable.
Brown also did not immediately return calls for this story.
Other prosecutors routinely write 1-2 page decline memos — simple documents that lay out the facts of the case and the law.
Brown's decline memo was 21 pages long, had 21 footnotes and references from six textbooks.
It was not solely based upon the FDLE investigation. Brown did his own investigating and contacted his own experts.
One that Brown cited, Anny Sauvageau, Alberta, Canada's chief medical examiner, is not trained as a forensic pathologist, although she has written a book about autoeroticism.
Brown wrote that Sauvageau is considered "the leading expert in North America on hangings, and has studied the topic extensively since 2004."
While experts retained by Morris' family said the positioning of Morris' clothing was indicative of a "staged crime scene," Sauvageau disagreed. She said "no reliable scientific conclusions may be drawn from observations of that clothing as it appears on the decedent after death," Brown wrote in this memo.
Brown later told the Herald-Tribune he never furnished a copy of the case file or even crime scene photos to Sauvageau, but instead sent her some quotes from the report of one of Osborn's medical experts, Jan Johnson.
Johnson spent more than 40 years processing crime scenes and examining evidence for the FBI and FDLE. She now teaches crime scene analysis and blood spatter interpretation throughout the country and abroad.
Osborn said she thinks that Brown's investigation lacked objectivity, and that he "cherry-picked facts to support his suicide theory."
"His mind was made up. Why else would he quote textbooks and people who knew next to nothing about the case, and then treat their opinions like gospel?" she asked. "We believe he was retaliating against us, Sheena's family, because we fought hard for an honest investigation."

GARY Bowyer is one of the bookmakers' favourites for the vacant manager's position at Leeds United – but Simon Garner believes he has a better job at Blackburn Rovers.
Leeds are searching for a new boss after Brian McDermott's exit late on Friday night and Bowyer rose in the odds lists yesterday after reports suggested the Yorkshire club were admirers of the Rovers manager.
Bowyer has been a manager for little over a year but has steadied the ship at Ewood Park – a job that now needs to be done at Leeds after a turbulent season at Elland Road.
Rovers officials were unavailable for comment yesterday but sources in West Yorkshire believe that Leeds' new Italian owner Massimo Cellino wants to speak to as many as 10 potential candidates before choosing a new manager.
Fellow Italians Gianluca Festa, Benito Carbone and Gianfranco Zola are all among the favourites for the job - with ex-Forest Green boss Dave Hockaday also a surprise candidate.
Rovers would be unlikely to welcome any interest from Leeds and Bowyer, who signed a 12-month rolling contract when he was appointed as boss on a permanent basis last summer, has always said he is happy with the position he holds at Ewood Park.
In any case, Garner thinks Leeds would be a step backwards for a manager who guided Rovers through chaos a year ago to eighth in the Championship table during the 2013/14 season.
"He's sorted everything out at Blackburn and he must be pretty happy with his squad and will want to see how far they can go next season," said the Rovers legend.
"Leeds are in turmoil and it would take him 12 months to sort everything out.
"It would be going back to the start, he would have to do it all again.
"With the job he has done at Rovers, clubs will be taking notice. But hopefully nothing comes of this.
"I think he will want to see what he can do next year with Rovers, and hopefully take the club into the play-offs."
Bowyer has been looking to strengthen his Rovers squad ahead of next season and the club have been linked with Leeds' Lee Peltier, who can play at right back or in midfield, as well as their former central defender Zurab Khizanishvili.
The 32-year-old Georgian, who played for Rovers between 2006 and 2011, is out of contract at Kayserispor but has been offered a new deal by the Turkish club.
Brentford are continuing to press ahead with their attempts to sign Rovers midfielder Alan Judge, with the London club growing more hopeful of striking a deal.

Police find body of woman taken from Michigan store
DEARBORN, Mich. – Police investigating the abduction of a 20-year-old woman from a discount store found her body Thursday in a wooded area in suburban Detroit, less than 2 miles away.
Brenna Machus, an assistant manager, was last seen Monday night at a Family Dollar store in Dearborn. A co-worker, Joseph Orlando, 20, was found fatally shot when other employees arrived for work Tuesday morning. He had been hired just last week.
The identity of the body was confirmed as Machus, said Nancy Hamood Strutz, assistant to Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad.
"I feel rather enraged we have another homicide in Dearborn," Haddad told reporters earlier, when the body was found.
The store's surveillance video captured images of a suspect, who waved as he walked into the store Monday night. Police are urging the public to call with any tips about the man who wore dark clothes with a hood over his head. His face can't be seen on the video, but Haddad hoped someone would recognize his clothing or the way he walks.
"I just can't believe it," Machus' father, Jamie Machus, told WJBK-TV.
The Family Dollar is in a busy retail area on the west side of Dearborn, sandwiched between a Middle Eastern restaurant and a hardware store.
Two women who were in the store between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Monday contacted police and are cooperating in the investigation, Lt. Patti Penman said. They are not suspects, but detectives wanted to know what they could recall about that night. One of the women finally stepped forward when her picture from store video was released to the public.
The discovery of Machus' body was a tragic development. Friends and relatives had made a tearful public appeal Wednesday for information on her whereabouts. Lisa Machus called her daughter a "shining star."
Tina Cable drove to the police staging area when she heard that a body had been found. Her son was Machus' friend.
"I want them to catch who did this," Cable said.

Golden hour, a beautiful bouquet, lots of laughter, love and even a celeb sighting; the perfect ingredients for a stylish and successful engagement shoot if we do say so ourselves! With all of these elements in place, we dive into Emily Jane's shoot right here and fall in love immediately, leaving us feeling inspired and pretty giddy. What more could we ask for!?
From Emily Jane Photography… Just to be around Jackie and Danny is a real treat. They are a team in every sense of the word. They met while in school in Michigan and both moved to NYC to start their careers after graduating.
I met up with Jackie and Danny in NYC at their cute apartment. As we drove around the city they both pointed out spots they loved to spend time together. One of their favorites was Central Park.
We started the shoot in Greenwich Village as golden hour approached. We walked through the charming neighborhood and even stopped to buy fresh flowers.
As we got closer to golden hour we took a cab into Central Park (we even saw Ben Affleck on the way!) The light this evening was just beautiful.
I love when the light hits the top of the buildings from inside Central Park. It's a really beautiful sight. All of the sudden harsh, hot sun becomes this soft creamy light. It's the perfect time to walk around to park and that's what we did.

Expendables Producers Dump Entire Lawsuit; Will They Refile?
from the might-not-be-over-yet dept
Now it appears that rather than go forward with the case against the remaining 84 IP addresses, the entire case has been dismissed voluntarily by Nu Image and USCG. That said, the dismissal is without prejudice, meaning that they can refile it. I'm wondering if they're working on another strategy to try to once again link up a lot more than 84 people. If, instead, Nu Image has realized that perhaps this isn't a smart strategy, that would be nice to hear... but until there's confirmation on that front, it seems likely that it's just looking for a more efficient way to sue its fans.

It was cold Tuesday record-breaking cold.
The temperature at Durango-La Plata County Airport bottomed out at minus 21 degrees, 5 degrees colder than the previous record for the day set in 1963.
Briggen Wrinkle, who records Durango temperatures for the National Weather Service, said the low in the city was minus 11.
Few plumbers were answering the telephone Tuesday because they were answering calls from homeowners and businesses with frozen or cracked water pipes and seized-up water heaters or boilers.
Its bad everywhere, said Lee Bell at Bells Heating Cooling & Plumbing. I have 10, no, 11 calls for service.
There has been a run on heat tape used to insulate pipes, said Glenn Haynie at Kroegers Ace Hardware.
Its a clear tape that gives protection, Haynie said. It will keep water flowing up to minus 40 degrees.
Planes scheduled for early takeoff required de-icing at Durango-La Plata County Airport, said Don Brockus, deputy director of aviation. Afternoon flights didnt have to do the procedure.
The runway and taxiway have been usable through the recent series of storms, Brockus said. Were working hard, though, to keep parking lots, sidewalks and streets safe for pedestrians.
Its been a dandy (the cold streak), Brockus said. I dont live in Gunnison or Alamosa because these temperatures are routine there.
Meteorologists at the National Weather Service in Grand Junction said the cold snap will continue through the weekend although a slight warming trend is expected.
The high temperature today will be around 24, with an overnight low of minus 3.
Highs Thursday through Sunday will be 27, 31, 30 and 31, with lows around minus 4, minus 3, minus 4 and zero.
The high on Martin Luther King Day on Monday will be around 31.
A hazardous weather outlook is in effect for western Colorado and eastern Utah.
Light snow, with accumulation of up to 2 inches, was expected over the northern mountains. Very cold temperatures and local wind chill could drop the thermometer to minus 30 in some lower valleys.
The extreme cold has prevented the breakup of ice on certain stretches of U.S. Highway 550 over Coal Bank, Molas and Red Mountain passes, Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Nancy Shanks said.
The passes are in good shape with a lot of dry pavement, Shanks said. The chain law has been dropped, but there are those icy places.
The same condition exist on Wolf Creek Pass, she said.
Travel information and road conditions are available by dialing 511 or at www.cotrip.org.

Watch the Frog!

From an advertising view, that's a really good idea and catchphrase. I assume it was only broadcast on the WB though? Maybe there were print ads as well?
But you're right, from an animation viewpoint, it's a waste of a great character.

Boy, those "Watch The Frog" idents was like watching a Famous Studios 'toon - kinda monotonous :P

The "Watch the Frog" bumpers probably would have been better if they hadn't rendered Michigan J. in CGI - that expression he has whenever he hits that pose is really creepy in three dimensions.

No one ever accused Jermichael Finley of not having a good sense of humor.
The Green Bay Packers tight end has turned a weakness into a positive with the announcement that he'll donate $500 to One Fund Boston Inc. for every ball he drops this season. He'll do the same for every touchdown he catches.
"Now fans can cheer & boo me @ the same time!" Finley tweeted.
One Fund Boston was set up by Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick and Boston mayor Thomas M. Menino to raise money to assist those most affected by the Boston Marathon bombings Monday.
Packers fans have been most frustrated by Finley's drops over the years. He had seven drops on 87 targets last season. Finley caught two touchdown passes in 2012 and made a career-high eight touchdown catches in 2011.
Great cause. Great humor.

Teepees, Tents and Yurts: 9 U.S. Getaways
If the idea of staying in a 5 star hotel for your next vacation sounds nice, but the thought of getting to rough it in a tent, teepee or yurt sounds magical, you might be interested in the list of places we've rounded up for you. The best part of these spots, besides the gorgeous natural surroundings, is you don't have to pack in your own accommodations!
There's a lovely trend in vacation stays that really picked up steam a few years ago, and it's the notion of being surrounded by nature but still retaining a few creature comforts. We don't know if we'd call any of these nine places in the U.S. "glamping" trips (we imagine there'd still be potential bug run-ins at a least a few of these places), but they're certainly a little more luxurious than hiking in with your own tent and supplies. Spread out across the nation, there seems to be a yurt, tent or teepee option for whatever sort of landscape you're looking for. Where will you head to first?
Top Row:
1) The Resort at Paws Up — tent camping in Montana
2, 3) El Cosmico — tent and yurt camping in Marfa, Texas
4) Cedar House Inn & Yurts — yurt camping in Georgia
5) Dunton Hot Springs Hotel — teepee and cabin luxury camping in Colorado
Bottom Row:
6) Yurt Home and Gardens — yurt living in Hawaii
7) Frost Mountain Yurts — yurt camping in Maine
8) Oz Farm Cabins — yurt and dome camping in California
9) Wigwam Motel — "camping" in wigwam-shaped buildings in California
10) El Capitan Canyon — safari tent camping in California
Give us the teepee, luxury tent and yurt dirt: Are they fun? Worth the money? A try-it-once-but-never-again thing? Let us know!
• Tent Hotels
• Amazing Tents & Tipis
• Suburban Tipi
• Trailers, Yurts & Teepees at El Cosmico Lodging
• Luxury Camping: Dunton Hot Springs
• Roughing It: Tent Bedrooms
• 5 Yurt Escapes

Does this sound like a lot of yeast? That is a huge starter? That is about $45 wort of yeast.If you wanted to use only 3 vials of liquid yeast Mr. Malty calls for 3 gallons of starter. WOW! That is 25% of the entire batch.Who has a starter flask this big?
Whats your anticipated OG?Also do you have a stir plate and can you atleast shake intermittently?
The batch size is 12 gal. of lager using a stir plate for an OG of 1.056.
You're interested in the number of quality doublings of your viable yeast (to get the yeast cell counts up) as well as yeast cell vitality (how healthy they are, i.e., are they "rev'd up and ready to go?"). Frankly, I find the Mr. Malty website confusing and unhelpful.
Sometimes you can use a 20 L (5 gallon) starter--it's called re-using the yeast cake from the previous batch you brewed. I just saved myself the aggravation of cleaning out one of my fermentors by pitching a small beer (strong scotch ale second runnings) onto a belgian wheat yeast cake. I wasn't going to let all that leftover malty goodness go to waste by dumping the grains, so I partigyled. Not my first choice of yeast (WY3942), but it was what I had just brewed. Going to call it a Scottish Wit. Well...I dunno; there's no wheat in the grain bill, so it might have to be called a Scottish Witless. Have I created a new beer style?

New Mazda Cars
Mazda's cars and crossovers feature sporty styling, excellent handling and impressive fuel economy thanks to its new SkyActiv technology. Read on to learn more more about all of the new Mazda cars and SUVs, as well as updates to existing models.
2013 Mazda CX-5
The compact CX-5 crossover is all-new for 2013, replacing old Ford-based Tribute and Mazda CX-7 SUVs. Among the most fuel-efficient SUVs on the market, the CX-5 starts around $21,000 and offers a standard 155-horsepower 4-cylinder engine.
2013 Mazda CX-9
Mazda's larger CX-9 crossover gets a restyled front end for 2013, with LED headlights and design that matches other Mazda models.
2013 Mazda2
The only 2013 change for the subcompact Mazda2 is the addition of a standard USB port.
2013 Mazda3
The Mazda3 now offers air conditioning and a USB port as standard equipment.
2013 Mazda5
Like other Mazda models, the compact Mazda5 gets a standard USB port. After last year's full redesign, other changes for 2013--such as mirror-mounted turn signals--are minor.
2013 Mazda6
The midsize Mazda6 sedan is unchanged for 2013, as an all-new, fully-redesigned model is expected to bow early next year as a 2014 model.
2013 Mazda Miata MX-5
The MX-5 Miata roadster receives a revised front end with an updated grille. Other changes include a new Club model that replaces last year's Touring trim and a sporty Suspension Package available for MX-5 models equipped with a manual transmission.

It's the last day of my winter break (aka "Christmas Break"). I had just shy of two weeks (I know, I know–totally unfair, but one of the few perks the job offers, as the pay certainly isn't great).
Not exactly excited about going back to work tomorrow, but not dreading it either. Which is what two weeks doing cross-stitch and listening to podcasts can do for you. Or, rather, that's what it can do for me. You should try it sometime. Very restful.
There was some time with family, but not enough to make me crazy. More time with the oldest niece than with anyone else (she came to visit for 3 days), which was great.
I am rather enjoying this season. Some folks call it winter, but here it's mostly just the "not hot season." We get a few days of actual winter, but mostly it's what a friend calls "Texas-cold," which would make those of you in more northern climes scoff. Lots of sunshine and decent temps almost makes one forget the hottest summer on record that we endured in 2011.
Miss Famous loves the not-hot season. She will not love my return to work, however, as she will no longer have her human at her beck and call and won't be able to go in the backyard any time she chooses.
Today, however, she is blissfully ignorant.(Please ignore the un-raked leaves. The cute dog is the only item worthy of note in this image.)

26 August 2013
A vast network of unmanned aircraft manufacturers, marketeers and promoters that descended on Washington for a conference pressed home a point made in a March report: Growth in civilian drones can create up to 100,000 jobs nationwide.
States that encourage drone testing on their soil stand to gain more jobs than states that remain skeptical about the new technology, drone promoters say.
As excitement over drone-related job prospects grows, the industry has gone to great lengths to separate -- in public consciousness -- civilian craft from the military types that provoked controversy, debate and protests.
Protesters from the Code Pink anti-war group used pink mock-drones to protest outside the venue of a mid-August conference of the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.
AUVSI is rated the largest lobby group supporting promotion of unmanned aircraft, which it insists shouldn't be called drones.
AUVSI's annual gathering at the Washington Convention Center brought together about 8,000 participants from 40 different countries. Most delegates said they were focused on generating new business from unmanned technology systems, promoting diverse use on farms, firefighting and law enforcement, security and surveillance.
The industry got a huge boost when the Federal Aviation Administration said last year it would allow drones to join civilian airspace once a regulatory framework was in place.
Up to 10,000 unmanned craft could be flying in U.S. airspace within five years. The FAA wants to ensure that drones keep a safe distance from manned civilian airliners and other piloted aircraft.
More drones are likely to take on duties on farms and orchards, river and coastal areas and law-enforcement from small towns to cities. Private companies are likely to be allowed to fly or rent their own drones, in some cases replacing manned services such as couriers.
There will be jobs galore before that happens, AUVSI says.
By 2015, when commercial drones are set to enter U.S. skies on a comprehensive scale, the first tens of thousands of about 100,000 jobs to be created over 10 years will be there for grabs.
The AUVSI report says the industry will add $13.7 billion to the U.S. economy.
"While there are multiple uses for UAS in the [national airspace system], this research concludes that precision agriculture and public safety are the most promising commercial and civil markets," the report says. "These two markets are thought to comprise approximately 90 percent of the known potential markets for UAS."
The report says tax earnings for the states that host test sites for the drones of the future will exceed $635 billion in 2015-2025 -- the first 11 years following integration.
The FAA is set to select six locations as UAS test sites. States across the
United States were present at the AUVSI conference to lobby support for their
selection as hosts for the test sites.

Isle of Palms
Locate beautiful Isle of Palms Real Estate
A bustling area full of friendly residents and endless things to do, the city of Isle of Palms is an Atlantic barrier island surrounded by a salt marsh, the Intracoastal Waterway, the beach, and the ocean along the southern coast of South Carolina. Just 20 minutes from historic Charleston, SC, Isle of Palms was originally named Hunting Island and then Long Island. Owning Isle of Palms real estate is an incredibly attractive option for those looking to move to the Charleston, SC area.
The Seewee Indians first inhabited Isle of Palms, greeting the first English settlers to the area. In 1899 the island was purchased by J.S. Lawrence who renamed it its current name due to its cooler climate and picturesque surroundings. After the island was purchased by a developer in the mid-1940s, roads were created and low-cost housing was built, attracting World War II veterans returning home.
The Isle of Palms began attracting wealthy residents looking for high quality South Carolina real estate and continues to today. The famous and beautiful 1,600-acre Wild Dunes Beach and Racquet Club was established in 1972.
The seven-mile long, one-mile wide Isle of Palms offers endless recreation opportunities, including bike and hiking paths, sandy beaches, playgrounds, ball fields, tennis, golf and organized sports. The city also has an oceanfront County park in the center of the island.
Isle of Palms is a community that many visit … and come to stay. While the island maintains its small-town feel with a grocery store and two shopping centers, those looking nearby for Mount Pleasant SC real estate are offered even more shopping, as well as a hospital and numerous banks. Across the historic beach inlet is Sullivan's Island, where local children attend public school. The school system is well-known for its academics.

Emblem Academy Garden Dedication to Honor Chancellor Van HookPosted by Dave Bossert
In recognition of her tireless leadership to provide local residents with increased access to educational opportunities, while championing new and innovative programs and partnerships which contribute to the vibrancy of this valley, College of the Canyons Chancellor Dr. Dianne Van Hook will be honored by Emblem Academy during the Santa Clarita Environmental Education Consortium (SCEEC) Community Mixer and Garden Dedication Ceremony on Nov. 6.
The SCEEC is an initiative of College of the Canyons, which operates as a private-public partnership with a mission to promote environmental literacy in the Santa Clarita Valley.
It is dedicated to promoting sustainability awareness and practices both on campus and in the community by hosting events and activities that help teachers and learners of all ages become more involved with environmental issues.
As a founding member and current member of its advisory board, Dr. Van Hook has enthusiastically supported SCEEC programs and community outreach efforts, including the annual K-12 Environmental Science Fair, Environmental Writing Contest, and the Green UpEnvironmental Leadership Conference held at COC in October.
"We have an opportunity as educators to inspire the next generation of leaders and instill in them a love for the world around them, and the sense that it will be theirs to care for," said Dr. Van Hook. "There's no better way to do that than through hands-on activities that enable children to experience the joy and wonder inherent in gardening."
In addition, Dr. Van Hook helped launch the SCEEC's Western Bluebird Restoration Project — a partnership with eight local elementary schools in which students build and decorate sustainable homes for the dwindling Western Bluebird population — by awarding the organization a COC Foundation Chancellor's Grant.
Most recently, the SCEEEC awarded funds to Emblem Academy for the construction of 14 (two per grade level) portable 'patio pickers', which can be used in a variety of classroom applications.
After the gardens are planted and begin to grow, teachers can use the new plant life as an ongoing teaching tool by asking students to observe the growing cycle, conduct field research and record their observations.
In appreciation of these efforts, Emblem Academy principal Jon Baker will formally dedicate the set of gardens in Dr. Van Hook's honor.
"Emblem Academy is very grateful for the Dr. Van Hook Patio Pickers donated by SCEEC," said Baker. " The 14 patio pickers will promote student engagement and hands-on learning through gardening, which also supports Emblem's focus on the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields."
The Santa Clarita Environmental Education Consortium (SCEEC) Community Mixer and Garden Dedication Ceremony will take place from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6, at Emblem Academy multipurpose room, located at 22635 Espuella Drive, in Santa Clarita.
The event is free and open to the public. Light snacks and beverages will be provided, with a variety of small door prizes also being raffled away and awarded to trivia game contestants.
In addition to attending the dedication ceremony, guests will also be able to learn more about the SCEEC and its various educational programs and community initiatives.
Local K-12 teachers can also explore the SCEEC's classroom mini-grant program, which provides funding to local K-12 schools in order to help develop and implement more environmentally themed lessons and activities.
For more information about the Santa Clarita Environmental Education Consortium (SCEEC) or the upcoming Community Mixer and Garden Dedication Ceremony on Nov. 6, please visit www.sceec.org or call (661) 362-3188.

Millions of us will gather in just a few days to observe a ritual that some have been anticipating all year.
We'll spend our savings, experience a sugar rush and garb ourselves in garments inspired by our favorite characters. We'll dress up like Angry Birds or march around in tracksuits in an attempt to channel Sue Sylvester or we'll don a winged helmet à la Captain America.
We are, of course, talking about Halloween, a holiday that will be celebrated by more than 160 million Americans, according to the National Retail Federation, which also predicts that we'll spend almost $7 billion on merchandise, $1.2 billion of that for costumes.
As in other years, this season's most popular costumes reflect a number of pop-culture trends, including celebrity styles, superheroes and zombies. What follows is a list of top-selling looks, according to national costume retailers:
Angry Birds
The touch-screen game "has had 400 million free and paid downloads since 2009, with three-fourths of those in the last six months," according to Bloomberg. That obsession will undoubtedly translate into millions of sightings of the popular round red and black and triangular yellow birds on Oct. 31. Tom Fallenstein, chief executive of Halloweencostumes.com, says the costume retailer has sold most of its Angry Bird costumes ($19.99-$84.99), but if you're in need of a last-minute fix, Halloweenexpress.com still had a few infant, child and adult costumes available ($29.99-$64.99).
Sue Sylvester 'Glee' tracksuit
Despite her cold exterior and sharp tongue, it's pretty easy to embrace Sue Sylvester — or her style, at the very least. "Glee's" fast-talking, hard-edged gym teacher with a distinct distaste for hair product is one of the easiest and most popular costumes to put together for Halloween. Retailers such as Wal-Mart ($29.97) and Party City ($34.99) are selling the costume, but those who want to be Sue can also grab a red or blue Adidas tracksuit and a short blond wig to get the look. Just don't forget to stand up straight.
Charlie Sheen has dominated radio, TV, celebrity gossip sites and the Twitterverse; now he's making his presence known for Halloween. The Charlie Sheen wig is among the top 10 bestselling wigs on Amazon.com, and the popular costume retailer Ricky's NYC has made Sheen part of its "New Stooges" costume crew that includes Sheen, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Anthony Weiner. Other items for the costume check list? A bowling shirt, straw fedora and, most important, tiger blood (or what passes for it). And don't forget to place a "goddess" on either arm before trick-or-treating.
Consumers continue to be fascinated by the walking dead — and this year we're not talking about vampires. More than 2.6 million people plan to dress as zombies this year, according to the National Retail Federation's 2011 top costumes survey. Popular inspirations include "Walking Dead's" stoic Sheriff Rick Grimes ($49.99 at Rickysnyc.com), the decomposed zombie ($49.99 at Rickysnyc.com) and the sexy zombie nurse ($24.99 at Rickysnyc.com). Costumecircus.com sells zombie costumes inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement — for men, a tattered business suit and for women a Jackie O skirt and jacket with pearls ($48.95).
Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj
Move over Lady Gaga, there are some new blue-haired songstresses taking over this Halloween. It's hard to resist Katy Perry's catchy "California Gurls" and Nicki Minaj's slightly deranged rapping in "Super Bass," but it's their amped-up sex appeal that has made them fan favorites for Halloween. To get Perry's look, try the Katy Perry California Gurl costume from Halloweenadventures.com ($48.49) or, for a DIY version, snag a blue wig and the shortest shorts possible, and artfully attach some papier-mâché cupcakes to a bra. For Minaj, layer pieces of extra-large jewelry in the shape of your favorite candy, don a skin-tight color-blocked outfit, killer long nails and the blue Nicki Minaj wig ($23) from Headlinecostumes.com.
Royal wedding and crew
The obsession with all things British that started with the royal wedding earlier this year continues. Retailers such as Headlinecostumes.com are selling the octopus-like Princess Beatrice hat ($40) and the Kate Middleton wig ($25) for those who aspire to look like the Duchess of Cambridge or other members of the royal family. Want to dress up like Prince William? Get a full Prince Charming costume ($71.25), available at Costumecraze.com.
Automobile enthusiasts and trick-or-treaters for whom money is no object can combine their two loves when they dress up as an Autobot or Decepticon. Halloweencostumes.com offers a deluxe Optimus Prime costume with jumpsuit, light-up helmet and chest piece with semi-truck details ($324.99) and a Bumblebee get-up with a realistic yellow and black jumpsuit, machinery pieces and accessories ($324.99).
Captain America
Jersey Shore's "The Situation" is old news. This year's most popular muscles belong to Captain America. Costumecraze.com carries a complete costume with a full red, white and blue suit ($44.79). Complete the patriotic crime-fighting look with the signature star shield ($13.27) and red gloves ($6.99-$9.77).

Well, the saga of the remodeling continues. My husband forgot to glue one of the pipes, so when he went to turn the hot water on - sploosh.
The cold water supply plumbing adventure appears to be a success. The water went on and nothing leaked. The pipes look so much better and the nasty galvanized steel has been removed, hurray!
I slept in my own bed - the bucket and tub of water have been enough for the toilet to function. But I spent another (rather boring at times) day out at my in-laws. I'm glad the older two boys are at their other grandparents for the weekend. They take more energy to entertain.
My older two children are gone for the weekend visiting grandparents who live two hours or so away, so my husband decided to (finally) get the water supply lines done. The supply pipes in the house are an odd mixture of galvanized steel and the occasional length of CPVC in a really odd layout. In fact, …
It's February 16th - exactly one year since the "big remodel" was started. UGH. And still very far from being finished.
I have been slowly working on making the den area of the house look less like a dorm room and more like a home. One of the things I've been thinking about is what to put on the top portion of my husband's desk. Right now there's a stack of magazines and other assorted junk.
Well it's been one year since I started this blog. Looking back I had some really great posting habits toward the beginning. Then there were months with only a post or two and the months with morning sickness that completely dissapeared.
There were two birthday parties today - on for my Grandmother who will be 82 and one for my husband's grandfather, who turned 80. I would have liked to have gone to my grandmother's, but she's in a nursing home and I have at least two children with runny noses who are hacking and coughing. That's …
I seem to be suffering from fits of boredom lately. Not because I don't have stuff to do, in fact I have a TON of things that could be done... it just all seems boring. Strange eh? I keep thinking that one of these days the snow (yes we actually have a little snow) will melt …
I'm moving onward in my "document while getting ready for a release" drive. I've been doing quite a bit of rearranging in svn, something that was always annoying to do in cvs.

Official praises British-US intelligence-sharing
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A senior British official defended the country's intelligence-sharing ties with the United States on Tuesday, as governments in both countries face criticism about snooping on citizens.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague, speaking at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, called intelligence-sharing between Britain and the U.S. "unique and indispensable" at a time of unrest around the globe.
"In both our countries intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework," Hague said. "We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it. In some countries secret intelligence is used to control their people — in ours it only exists to protect their freedoms."
"We should always remember that terrorists plan to harm us in secret, criminal networks plan to steal from us in secret, foreign intelligence agencies plot to spy on us in secret and new weapons systems are devised in secret," Hague said.
"We cannot protect the people of our countries without devising some of the response to those threats in secret," he said.
His appearance at the hilltop library comes as the U.S. continues to pursue National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. The former NSA contractor gained access to documents that he gave to the Guardian and The Washington Post newspapers to expose what he contends are privacy violations by an authoritarian government.
Earlier this month in London, Hague was forced to deny allegations that the U.K. government had used information provided by the Americans to circumvent British laws.
"We want the British people to have confidence in the work of our intelligence agencies and in their adherence to the law and democratic values," Hague told Parliament.
Snowden, who is charged with violating American espionage laws, touched off a global guessing game over his whereabouts after fleeing Hong Kong over the weekend, frustrating U.S. efforts to bring him to justice.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday rejected U.S. pleas to turn him over, saying Snowden is in the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport and has not passed through Russian immigration, meaning he technically is not in Russia.
Last week the Guardian, citing British intelligence memos leaked by Snowden, reported that British spies are running an online eavesdropping operation so vast that internal documents say it even outstrips the United States' international Internet surveillance effort.
Hague said citizens can be confident that intelligence-gathering is carried out with "multiple checks and balances" within the laws of the two countries.
In his remarks, Hague said he rejected the notion that western nations face an inevitable decline.
"Some predict gloomily that as emerging powers rise, so we in the West must fall. But our free and open societies are better placed to make the most of changes in the world, to adjust to it and to cope with turbulence," he said.
Taking questions from the audience, he dismissed the notion of using a blockade to keep arms from reaching Syria's President Bashar Assad's government in Syria. He also said his country was firmly committed to address global warming and that a scientific consensus warns that failing to do so would have "very serious" consequences.
"Globally, we do have to act on climate change," Hague said.

Remembering Pete Seeger
Folk singer and songwriter Pete Seeger has passed away this week at the age of 94. While he was regarded as a pioneer of folk music, having written classics like "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," "Turn, Turn, Turn," and "If I Had a Hammer," he will also be remembered for his many appearances in the early years of Sesame Street.
His first appearance was in the first season, in which he sang several songs like "Skip to my Lou" and "John Henry." Through the next six years, Seeger would periodically show up on the street with his banjo to perform more songs for the kids. In one case, his car broke down near Sesame Street, so rather than call AAA, he took it as an opportunity to make more music.
In 1974, Seeger was joined by Frederic Douglass Kirkpatrick for "Pete Seeger & Brother Kirk Visit Sesame Street," an album featuring traditional and contemporary folk songs, accompanied by Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.
Pete Seeger returned to Sesame Street in the late 1980s for a very brief cameo in a very memorable video. He joined such legends as Paul Simon, Madeline Kahn, and John Candy in the classic "Put Down the Duckie."
In 2009, Oscar the Grouch returned the favor by appearing at Pete Seeger's 90th birthday celebration at Carnegie Hall, singing Seeger's song "Garbage".
Pete Seeger had a strong connection to Sesame Street's long history, and he was responsible for introducing many children to the joy of folk music. We are proud to count him among the celebrities who helped make Sesame Street the show that it is today.

BlackBerry launches 'classic' Q20
BlackBerry has decided that going back to basics is the best option for the struggling manufacturer. The firm has released the Q20, which showcases a design that is the same as more classic mobile phones from the Canadian manufacturer.
The company brought two smartphones to the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014 in Barcelona.
The flagship handset is the BlackBerry Q20, which top boss John Chen has cited as a "classic", featuring the same design that users saw on the company's Bold range of smartphones. Indeed it brings a small trackpad and hard navigation keys, as well as the traditional QWERTY keyboard.
It also features a 3.5-inch display and will arrive alongside the new BES 12 enterprise system towards the end of 2014, which expands device integration across a number of other platforms.
The other BlackBerry handset is a five-inch Blackberry Z3, with a release date set for April this year, though there is no news about whether it will arrive in the UK or even Europe.

Some time this fall -- in September or October -- Apple will unveil the interminably rumored iPhone 5, and Apple Stores will be packed with people wanting the latest version the day it becomes available. This script plays out every year, yet the enthusiasm only seems to grow.
Very few details are known about the new device. Although there's a rumor a day on what it will contain, the reality is that most talk is false -- much of the gossip is simply made up -- and only Apple knows for sure what to expect. But Apple has provided some hints, and its other products also point to what you can reasonably expect.
[ Which smartphone is best for you? Find out with InfoWorld's interactive smartphone calculator. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with the Mobilize newsletter. ]
First, the new iPhone -- I doubt it'll be called the iPhone 5, given that Apple has dropped version numbers on the rest of its hardware product line -- will run iOS 6, the modest update to the current iOS that focuses mainly on revised apps, Siri improvements, and greater iCloud enablement, such as through Apple's new Maps app with its turn-by-turn navigation for more recent iPhone models and its Passbook app for storing tickets and other transaction records.
That's all we actually know. Anything else is speculation or conjecture. Here's what's plausible:
Larger screen. The 3.5-inch screen (measured diagonally) of the iPhone is too cramped, a fact that has become more obvious in the last year as Android devices sporting high-quality 4-, 4.65-, and even 5-inch screens have come to market. Few of those devices take advantage of the extra real estate -- most blow up the existing screen layout -- though the more recent versions of Android take good advantage of it for widgets. Let's be honest: Blowing up the iPhone's 3.5-inch screen to 4 or perhaps 4.25 inches would make it much easier to read the contents of all those iPhone apps we use.A 4-inch (or so) screen could be added in a way that does not make the iPhone that much larger, retaining compatibility with many of the millions of dock-equipped devices out there. Apple is not afraid to break compatibility when it sees a larger good resulting, but I don't anticipate it going large for the sake of going large, as some Android manufacturers have done. Once a screen gets much past 4.65 inches in size, it's hard to thumb-type on it, and you can't keep it in a shirt pocket as easily. Apple could bring the iPad's split keyboard to a large-screen iPhone to get around the thumb-typing issue, but I suspect that if any device takes on the 5-inch screen size in Apple's portfolio, it would be the iPod Touch, to make it even more of an entertainment device.
