The Measure L Committee decided Monday to table a response to Mayor Dan Clark until after it heard from the city attorney.
And it is a very smart move to take a measured pace before issuing a response because what the committee may find is that everyone is after the same goal. Of course, they may not and a response is in fact warranted.
If the committee still feels it wants to answer the mayor after that meeting, that's fine.
The point here is the committee is doing this right by waiting.
This whole issue really needs to be resolved so we can get to the true mission of the Measure L Committee: Making sure the money raised through the tax measure is spent as it was promised.
The committee represents the eyes of the community through keeping a check on the council over this issue and we need to make sure the committee is focused on that goal.
In this first year of Measure L, there is going to be growing pains because there were implementation problems that won't be there come years' two through five.
First, the city's budget had to be passed before the committee could be formed and before money started coming in because the city needs a budget by the first of the fiscal year.
This year, that won't be an issue because the committee is in place and can take a peak at the budget before it's passed.
And to clarify one point made in Saturday's regarding the response, it was unfair to characterize everyone who attended the meeting to talk on Measure L as being the anti-trash crowd. The editorial should have said "some members of the public." Only some of members who spoke fit that description, certainly not all.
But nature of the point made is that the Measure L Committee needs to be an oversight of Measure L money and the council needs to remain transparent in how it spends that money.
We want Measure L to be a success and we want the committee to be a success as well.
We just want the committee to be focused on the right objective.
Mayor Clark's desire to refocus the committee came off wrong and started a firestorm, but his sentiment was pure.
Now let's get this behind us and let's continue to do the people's business.
Committee's patience is a virtue with response
The Measure L Committee decided Monday to table a response to Mayor Dan Clark until after it heard from the city attorney.

The war of 1812 began on this date in history when Congress declared war on Great Britain and President James Madison signed the measure into law. Why we call it the War of 1812 is lost on me because it wasn't over until Christmas of 1814 and the biggest victory for the United States occurred after the war was over. Seems Andy Jackson and his boys in New Orleans didn't get the news and met the British in a famous battle around Lake Borgne. The battle took place in January of 1815….so officially, one cannot say there was a battle of New Orleans in the war of 1812 because it was 1815 and the war was over. But, since Cleveland had already taken the moniker "the mistake by the lake" I guess they had to call it something. Wouldn't that be pretty bad luck if you fought and died for your country in a battle of a war that was already over?
Now, not long before the war was over, Washington DC was in big trouble. On August 24, 1814, soldiers were racing alongside the civilians out of town in a panic. The British had landed 8 days prior with some 4000 battle-hardened troops who had seen plenty of action in the wars with Napoleon. The Americans were not experienced, not well trained and not well led. The President of the United States, James Madison came galloping through on a horse shouting "Clear Out! Clear Out!" When the Commander-In-Chief is telling everyone to haul-ass, then everyone listens. One of America's proudest moments. Before his wife, Dolley Madison, left she grabbed a bunch of paintings including Gilbert Stuart's famous painting of George Washington. Good thing she did.
The Redcoats came marching into Washington expecting a defense. Instead, they faced but a single volley of musket fire. But, it was enough to get their attention because it killed one guy, wounded three others and took out the horse from under the commanding general. The Brits moved on to the Capitol, where again they expected a last stand. So, they fired a few rockets through the windows and storm trooper busted down the doors only to find the chirping of crickets. So, they set the place on fire. Then they set the White House on fire as well as the Treasury building. Major General Robert Ross, the commander, stopped by the newspaper National Intelligencer to pick up the scribe's final paper that assured the residents that the city was safe. Yup…the press was right on that story and have been as accurate ever since. Anyway, Ross couldn't get the paper into his pocket as a souvenir because he had already filled his pockets with some of Madison's personal papers. The general shouted, "Damn It! My pocket is full of old Madison's love letters!" That's what he gets for looting.
The next day, a single maniac named John Lewis came charging at the British Army. He was the grandnephew of George Washington and it seems he was upset over his impressment into the Royal Navy. So, he went on a revenge binge only to get himself shot to death. There was another, more successful defender though. Dr. William Thornton ran the Patent Office and just as the soldiers were set to torch the building, he told the perpetrators that they would be no better than the barbarians who had put ablaze the Ancient Library of Alexandria. I suppose in shame, the Redcoats backed off and the Patent Office was saved. Then, Divine Providence showed up.
The British tried to set fire to 150 barrels of gunpowder at an abandoned American fort. The nitwits ended up setting off the whole kit and kaboodle at once and killed 30 of their own men while wounding another 44. Seems these guys were their own worst enemy. Then the wind picked up and the rain started to fall in buckets. Just in the nick of time before the entire city was burned to the ground, a hurricane showed up. The fires were put out and Ross ordered a full scale retreat back to their ships. The British never returned and Washington DC was saved from total destruction by this so-called "Hurricane of Providence." Just because the British evacuated Washington DC doesn't mean that they were done. Somehow their ships were spared the wrath of the hurricane because less than a month later, they attempted to invade Baltimore but they were not able to fully penetrate the city's defense or destroy Fort McHenry that guarded Baltimore Harbor. It was during the bombardment of Fort McHenry that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the words to what became known as the Star Spangled Banner. And guess who was also involved in that attack? Why none other than Maj. Gen. Robert Ross was a key figure in the adventure of Francis Scott Key during the Battle of Baltimore. So, without the Hurricane of Providence, maybe there would not have been a Star Spangled Banner. But, this national intervention of Divinity didn't save everything. While the city was saved, the Patent Office that Dr. Thornton so skillfully saved wasn't as lucky. The roof blew off. Perhaps Dr. Thornton missed church that week.
Weather Bottom Line: It's going to be hot and humid over the weekend; similar to what we saw last weekend. There will the tail end of a front coming and sitting down on top of us by Sunday. The difference between this weekend and last weekend is that there is not nearly the number of shortwaves wandering through the flow, so the prospects of rain and t'storms is diminished. The NAM wants to have a wave pass on Saturday bringing us an elevated chance for rain and t'storms on Saturday afternoon while the GFS favors a shortwave passing to the north and an appendange far enough south to increase our prospects on Sunday afternoon. Since the boundary will be closer to us or even over us on Sunday, I would favor it as the better prospect. Just keep in mind that, should you find yourself under an isolated or scattered t'storm it will have the potential to drop a pretty fair amount of rain given the moisture content of the air.

University of Manchester researchers announced today that they have reached a key milestone in their study of the antifungal treatment of asthma.
It is hoped that the study, by clinical researchers based at Manchesters Wythenshawe Hospital, will reduce steroid use and serious attacks requiring hospital intervention for asthma sufferers. It could also help those with cystic fibrosis and chronic sinusitis.
Severe asthma in adults affects 10 - 20% of the UKs 5m asthmatics, and skin tests indicate that up to 70% of these sufferers are allergic to one or more common fungi in the air.

This Passover / Easter weekend seems a good time as any to reflect on our family genealogy.
I know (or at least I think) that the website RAOGK/Random-Acts-Of-Genealogical-Kindness went defunct and that heirs/friends of the original website owner were trying to revive this website of genealogical service to others. I hope it does get a new life.
But even if it does not, we can still engage in RAOGK. Genealogy is the original collaborative / crowd sourced research field. For years, I have volunteered and also been the benefactor of other volunteers who have bestowed their time/efforts for a greater good. It is one of the reasons, I treasure genealogy as a past time, because of the general kindness of our fellow researchers who also share a passion for research, history, genealogy and family and a fondness for others who also engage in genealogy.
As my previous blog article chronicled, Steve Kalemkiewicz did his part this Holy Week. He went to the Detroit Public Library and did just a bit more research than just what he needed to do for himself. As a result we all have 14 new names that may benefit our research.
On Good Friday, I was able to get back to Holy Trinity Cemetery (Phoenixville) and take about 70 pictures of headstones. This I sent off to the PGSCT&NE for their cemetery databases. It should yield a good 100-140 new names for their databases. Holy Trinity is a mostly Polish cemetery, in fact its name on the two Gate Posts is written in Polish on one and English on the other. I thank Jonathan Shea and the others at PGSCT&NE who collect and post this info to their website.
As a side note, I'd like to mention that the PGSCT&NE is putting on a free seminar for researching your Slavic Roots. You can register for this April 28th seminar, by calling 215-360-3422. The seats are limited and You Need to pre-register. This is another RAOGK.
Do yourself and others some good and perform a RAOGK soon!
Happy & Blessed Easter/Passover to all readers!

Parents from around the county with juniors and seniors in high school, as well as curious incoming Pontiac Township High School freshmen attending freshmen orientation, are invited to attend an open house today from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Livingston Area Career Center.
Director Tera Graves said tonight's event will debut a new medical terminology course which will be offered next year thanks to feedback from student interest surveys, as well as recommendations from businesses around the county.
"That kept coming up as something that would really help any student who wants to go on to anything in the medical field," said Graves. "What we want to do today is provide students with the opportunity to have a conversation with our staff. We want them to leave understanding what the class is, where they would go with it in the future and how this class could help them get on the right road to that pathway."
During the open house, all of the LACC instructors are available and the entire facility is open so that parents and students can come and see the classrooms, explore the different programs and instructors can answer questions directly. Graves said a lot of times, students come to the open house in order to talk about what they have done and what interests them.
"This is targeted more toward students who are eligible to take the courses," said Graves. "It is more for the students who are potentially interested in enrolling, but maybe need some more information. However, we have been partnered with the PTHS freshmen orientation for a long time and when freshmen tour the building, they can see what is out there, what to look forward to and things that we can offer to help them in the future.
"This open house gives us a good opportunity to address a large group of students and I think the more students start thinking about the direction they want to take their lives, the better prepared they are to make those decisions in the immediate or in some cases not-too-distant future."
While a lot of information regarding courses and programs the LACC offers is available via their website or pamphlets, Graves said the reason they consider the open house to be the first step in an education at LACC is because it gives the instructors the chance to have a one-on-one conversation with students. With technology constantly changing the way people perform different occupations, Graves said the open house lets students take a step beyond a general course description and into the actual classroom to have their personal questions answered.
"It gives a real clear understanding to the student regarding what knowledge they will gain in each class," said Graves. "I think parents want their children to get as much education as possible and we want to partner and help them in that."
The question Graves said she gets asked most at the open house usually involves parents asking how LACC enrollment can help their student prepare for college. She said a common misconception many parents have is that LACC is generally geared for students planning on not attending college upon completion of their desired program.
"Sometimes that's true," said Graves. "But, a lot of the courses really are intended to help students get stackable credentials that we believe will help them with whatever path they choose, whether that be college, work, or a technical school. Many of our architectural engineering students for instance go on to a four-year university and are very successful. So, there are different pathways for each student. We want to help them build those credentials to get there."
LACC open house is tonight
Parents from around the county with juniors and seniors in high school, as well as curious incoming Pontiac Township High School freshmen attending freshmen orientation, are invited to attend an open house today from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Livingston Area Career Center.

When a candidate has a bad photo op, the results can be tragic
Critics of beauty pageants and politics often share the same complaints. Neither group likes the fact that winners are often chosen for style over substance.
Pageant queens tend to need a certain look and have to have a real hook for what their platform will be when chosen to wear the sash at photo ops for a year.
Politicians also tend to need a look to win and also need some hook to separate their platform from another.
And like a Miss America contestant, who would need a miracle to overcome a stumble in the swimsuit competition, when a candidate has a bad photo op, the results can be tragic.
There are many ideas that seemed good at the time that have embarrassed candidates.
Bill Clinton jogging to a McDonalds comes to mind. The media and even Saturday Night Live had a lot of fun with that exercise plan. Sure the former president continued to win after he left office by becoming a gaunt vegan, but at the time it was pretty funny.
George H.W. Bush showed that being out of touch is something to worry about. Who can forget the elder Bush staring at amazement at the supermarket scanner technology that had been in use for years? I bet he would love the self-checkout lanes that stores use now.
The younger Bush, George W. also had a faux pas when he posed on a battleship with a "Mission Accomplished" sign emblazoned above him. The mission we celebrated accomplishing is still being accomplished today. He just got a little anxious.
Perhaps the most notable and devastating photo op backfire was 25 years ago when Michael Dukakis mounted an M1A1 tank and took aim on the electorate.
In a piece in Politico Magazine this weekend, Josh King – who was on the campaign staff for Dukakis and went on to work in the Clinton White House – detailed how the event was planned and how no one was able to change the plan even after they saw it going badly.
King said the event was not like the Bush "Mission Accomplished" banner or Clinton jogging to a fast food restaurant situations. It wasn't determined later to be an opportunity for opponents. Reporters were openly laughing at the diminutive Democratic as he rode around in a tank trying to look more like a Commander in Chief during a race in which his strength on National defense policy was going to be an issue.
To say the tank idea backfired is a bad joke. To say it blew up in his face is in equally poor taste so I won't use either of those jokes here.
I will say that he may have been the first person wearing a tie in a Windsor knot to ride in an M1A1. At least wear the costume if you are going to play the part.
Events like this are small until they become part of a narrative.
Dukakis had a 17-point lead when he climbed aboard that tank.
By the time Bush's people were finished with the barrage of ads and cute quips in debates, that lead was gone.
They had a sidebar campaign running alongside his silly soldier campaign. Dukakis had given Willie Horton, a murderer, a weekend furlough. Surprisingly, this murderer could not be trusted and never returned from his weekend furlough until he had assaulted and raped a woman. After being caught, he returned to the prison and helped barricade the road to the White House for Dukakis.
The two items were big enough and fit so well in a storyline that there was no way for the Massachusetts Governor to overcome them.
When polls shift from one candidate to another, it is often difficult to figure out exactly why until the election is over. But in 1988, everyone who saw Dukakis in that tank immediately knew that his campaign was going in a completely different kind of tank.
There are all kinds of rules around campaigns now that could all be rewritten under one golden rule. Never put anything on your head. Never wear an outfit. Never dance.
All of these are good rules for politicians.
But they can all be summed up with one rule: Be yourself.
The problems come when candidates try to be something they aren't in order to strengthen a weak spot. It never works.
Politicians would discover that voters are far more understanding and forgiving of flaws when you don't try to hide them.

I was just thinking why no one have made a E-mag length rail with piccatiny mount in the front.
That would have been perfect for a Tac-one.

I would make some if there was a demand for them.Originally Posted by MingusX
Do you have a drawing of what you had in mind?
That dove tail is about big enough to mount a single scope ring. It might be a good place to stack a sizable rail (that went forward) and secure it with set screws on the bottom.Originally Posted by Darring D
I have brand new tac one that I ordered last month at agd and the rail is not like that! Sorry I don't have pics on hand!Originally Posted by Darring D
Ive seen a few tacs where they mounted a rail in front, might be easier to go that route, plus you'd get to choose the length of the rail to mount.
Jason Finnie's Tac (Pic pulled from MCB) has a picatinny rail on the bottom:
[QUOTE=Justus]Jason Finnie's Tac (Pic pulled from MCB) has a picatinny rail on the bottom:
Yes it was that picture that made me think about it.
Not just a attached picatinny rail,but a mount milled in the mag rail
With so many different custom rails out there i think it's strange that it hasn't been done as far as i know.
There i more than 2 inches in front of the frame on a E-mag rail so there is room for it, and i thought it would look really good with a tac-one body.
In fact that would be really nice and clean! If someone have the intention of making some of those keep me informed as I will be interested in buying one of those!!!
I'd buy one too.
I'd look into into one like pictured above but as one piece.
Need something for my tac - 2 project.
Luke.... Calling Luke.....
This would be sweet for mounting a Metadyne (or similar) launcher.
If you guys want to put some concepts together and decide on a final, I'll make some. I dont need CAD drawings, sketches are fine (A basic over-all length would help).Originally Posted by OPBN
Hey guys, yeah that's my mag. Luke actually made that rail extension for me. I sent him a drawing, some rough specs, a sample of a picatinny rail, and the grips. Not long afterwards I had this nice foregrip.Originally Posted by Justus
Works awesome. Much more comfortable for me as i can move the grip to or fro depending on how I feel. I have 2 different grips I switch between, and I can slide the grip back to mount lights or stuff in the front.

Sure that's easy, what do you want the rest to look like?
If you were to design a new rail with this in mind, I would make it similar to the longbow-ready tac rail, so it is the same length of the standard tac-one body and add the picatiny rail stuff to it.
As far as the side milling is concerned, I'd say just make it look like it should be on a tac-one. I was thinking it would be neat to add side picatiny rail pieces to the rail with that hug the body in front of the feedneck, but that would get expensive with all the material you'd have to cut out for something like that.
The rail in this picture is similar to what I had in mind for a new tac rail. The only changes I would make to this rail would be the front would line up flush with the front of the body, without that angle cut out of it. Of course the addition of the picatiny rail on the under-side of the front of the rail, too.
I'm one of those who mounted a rail on the front. I then have a quick release/adjustable tactical fore-grip attached instead of the bicycle grip. Mine's a rather long rail and doesn't sit flush the front of the gun. It pokes out quite a ways and has that odd gap between the rail and the barrel for a few inches.Originally Posted by BiNumber3
bump this would be nice to mount my gopro camera to
I purchased the magpul foregrip and it came with a 2" pic rail. I just mod'd the rail to fit the holes in the rail... and presto. It is out at ano right now, but will post a finished product soon.
NOTE: I went with the non-air thru stock version of the T2W, instead of the one pictured so I could have the tank on the marker.

I was just thinking about this thread, earlier today. I know Luke is currently working on something else right now. Maybe this will get picked up again after the other projects.
"Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.
I'm actually thinking it would be nice to sink the picatinny rail into the rail, so it sits closer to the body. Then, we could have a flat piece that slides over the picatinny rail and is secured by the (RT-style) foregrip mount screws, so it sits flush with the rest of the rail. This way, you could switch between picatinny and standard foregrip if you wanted to. I'm attempting to draw it up in eMachineShop's "CAD" program, but it's taking me a while to draw the cuts and get them right.Originally Posted by GoatBoy
Can�t see what you�re saying. Literally.Originally Posted by bbotts77
I�ve never used eMachineShop�s �CAD� program (looks like it�s a solid modeler), but it took me like a minute to find and download the parametric picatinny OpenSCAD file from thingiverse, set it to 5 segments or whatever, render it, import it into Sketchup and slap it onto my rail.
Drawing picatinny rails is probably about as fun as... drawing screw threads...
My example is up on Shapeways for a reason. My next rail isn't going to be milled...
Bbotts idea is ballz on to what i was thinking about getting made before I said screw it and just purchased a 2inch rail and just retrofitted it to the emag rail.
It's the same same either way.
Goat...he's talking about creating a plate that would sit in the groves of the pica rail that would create a flat surface so you would be able to switch over to a standard foregrip setup.

WASHINGTON — The tiny Colorado organization Coalition for a Conservative Majority raises less than $1,000 a year, entirely in dues from members, and tries to get mostly young people involved in conservative activism.
But when Donna Aydelott, treasurer of the group's Denver chapter, applied for tax-exempt status in March 2011, the Internal Revenue Service's Cincinnati office didn't get back to her until the following January — and it had a lengthy list of questions and demands for paperwork.
The questions, which the U.S. Inspector General has called chilling and onerous in nature, included asking Aydelott to "list persons or entities with which you maintain a close relationship, including but not exclusively public officials, candidates for public offices, political parties ..."
Aydelott, who said the situation was like "David and Goliath," did as she was asked. On her lunch hours and after work, she made copies of the organization's activities and composed 70 pages of response to the IRS. Her organization eventually was approved.
Coalition for a Conservative Majority is among at least four Colorado groups that were improperly scrutinized or had applications that were purposefully delayed by the IRS in the two years the agency was found to be targeting conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status, according to the Inspector General.
The Colorado groups affected are universally small and self-defined as grassroots. Their budgets are mostly in the single thousands of dollars a year and mostly derived from dues-paying members. They said in interviews with The Denver Post that they hold picnics and forums and try to recruit neighbors to hear about conservative ideas and philosophy.
President Barack Obama this week accepted the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner and said he was angry about the scandal.
"My concern is making sure that if there's a problem in the government, that we fix it," he said Thursday in a Rose Garden news conference. "That's my responsibility."
The Inspector General's 48-page report called the IRS out for using inappropriate criteria, starting in early 2010, to identify organizations seeking tax-exempt 501(c)(4) status. Under this special kind of status, reserved for organizations advocating for "social welfare," groups cannot collectively promote individual candidates or help political campaigns, but they are able to talk about philosophy and ideas.
IRS requests deemed "unnecessary" by the IG include: those for information about donations, contributions and grant income for each year; those for "all issues that are important to the organization"; and those for the "type of conversations and discussions members and participants had during activities."
Kevin McCarney, who applied for tax-exempt status for the Western Slope Conservative Alliance in April 2010, was asked by the IRS to list all his donors and whether any of those donors had run for public office. The IRS also asked to see copies of the group's website that only members can access.
"I grew up in the Watergate era, I was a junior in high school. This is the same thing Richard Nixon did for his political opponents," McCarney said. "We want to do our job to promote freedom and constitutional values. It's not the way the country is supposed to work."
Charlie Smith, chairman of the Citizen Awareness Project, actually had his 501(c)(4) application leaked to the news organization ProPublica before it was approved.
The IRS acknowledged the error and then asked Smith to "provide all copies of transcripts used when communicating to the public via telephone or television."
Smith's application is still pending.
"I think it chills free speech," he said. "Lots of people are intimidated by the IRS, and when the IRS starts asking you a bunch of questions, you get a little nervous."
The fourth Colorado group is Tea Party Patriots of Denver.
University of Denver political science chair Seth Masket said the ongoing scandal "casts a pall" over the Obama administration.
"All the things that the Tea Party used to claim doesn't seem as outlandish anymore," he said. "It helps them (the Tea Party) in that regard, but I'm not sure how many minds it's actually changed. People who see this as an evil activity of the federal government may have thought the federal government was evil anyway."

Colorado GOP calls for Bennet to recuse himself
The Colorado Republican Party called for Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, to recuse himself from any dealings with the investigation of the Internal Revenue Service's handling of conservative groups, saying a letter he wrote in February 2012 creates a conflict of interest.
Bennet signed onto a letter with a handful of other Senate Democrats encouraging the IRS to do due diligence in looking into how much "social welfare" the politically motivated 501(c)(4) groups were doing during a political campaign season. In a news release promoting the letter, Bennet mentioned Karl Rove's group American Crossroads as an example of a 501(c)(4) that exists for political purposes.
Some conservatives believe Bennet's letter added incentive for the IRS to inappropriately scrutinize right-leaning groups, but the Inspector General said this week that tax officials started its targeting of conservatives two years before the letter penned by Senate Democrats went out.
"The IRS was apparently listening," the GOP said in a Thursday news release.
Bennet spokesman Adam Bozzi said Thursday: "This is exactly the kind of distraction and overreach that prevents us from getting to the bottom of what is a very serious issue and punishing the people responsible."

Randy Wolf (3-1, 3.21) vs. Antonio "Inglourious" Bastardo (1-0, 1.50).
COMMENTS: SoSG reader Fernando strikes again! "I made this to commemorate 'Dre's back-to-back walk-offs, and to simultaneously give Andre more reasons to continue to turn down fan photos," Fernando writes. Dodger fans will be more than willing to put up with Andre's photophobia as long as he keeps producing.
And while Mr. Walkoff may no longer be welcome in the City of Brotherly Love, he's not the only hero of the weekend. Let's not forget the excellent pitching staff as well as the clutch defense (particularly that of James Loney, Orlando Hudson and Matt Kemp).
Today's game is the last regular-season meeting between the Dodgers and Phillies; with four wins and two losses, the Dodgers have assured themselves of a winning record against the defending World Series champs. Which is a good start.
More good news: The team has three off-days in the next two weeks. (Sharpen your pencils, PCSsters!) But with rest comes change: Look for a pitcher to be replaced by a position player on the roster.
Laker fans! Today is the only day a Laker Finals game and the Dodger game are starting at the same time. (You can thank ESPN.) But is it a blessing or a curse? Whichever you decide, be sure to keep us updated in this thread. Okay, Jayson?

Firstly, the Game Developers Conference 2011 schedule has revealed a Thief 4 panel about its generative music. "Developers should more enthusiastically embrace alternative music models to resolve ongoing issues with linearity and to create a musical aesthetic that pushes away from the shadow of film," says the panel description. I say obscene expressions of glee, unrepeatable in polite company.
It's a unique opportunity open to video games but very few dabble in it, probably as it's complex, difficult, untested and will go unnoticed by most. Me, I dream of ditching canned scores and having music which reacts to what I'm doing, my status, objects, the environment, my 'behaviour' and heaps of other factors. While Thief 4 is surely not doing that, it's a step in that general direction. I'll consider any old noise 'music,' though.
Secondly, Kane & Lynch 2's Shanghai is one of the most delightful video game cities I've seen in a long time. It's so busy with life and colour and movement and noise that I find it an absolute joy after so many tedious, grey and sterile urban environments.

Even at 75, years old, the Leavenworth Lions Club's meetings have a lot of life.
Even at 75, years old, the Leavenworth Lions Club's meetings have a lot of life.
Lions Sam Maxwell and Steve Wood both wander through the tables in the Riverview Room at the Riverfront Community Center in Leavenworth on Thursday afternoon. In one hand, these "tail twisters" hold a metal bowl with the Lions logo on it that makes a satisfying clinking sound when change is dropped into it. In the other is a looping squeeze horn that punctuates sometimes impromptu announcements made to the group during the meeting.
Members of the Leavenworth Lions say they wouldn't have it any other way. John Raletz, a past president and current secretary for the club, said that's part of what drew him in to the fold in the first place.
"The official motto of Lions is 'we serve,'" he said. "Our unofficial motto is 'we serve and have fun doing it.'"
The Leavenworth Lions were scheduled to recognize 75 years of existence with a dinner at 6 p.m. Saturday at June's Northland Banquet Hall in Leavenworth. Fellow Lion and U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran will be the guest speaker. It'll be a celebration of a club that, since its founding in 1938, has become comfortably the largest in Kansas with 182 members currently, among the largest in the country and no slouch on the international stage of more than 43,000 chapters as well.
Current Lions President Gary Colston said past and current members of the Leavenworth Lions include officials from Fort Leavenworth and the city of Leavenworth and, currently, seven or so international military officers.
"It's a good cross-section of the city," Colston said.
It was as a newly arrived resident in 1994 that Colston said he first encountered the club.
"I got off the plane in Kansas City from Germany with my family and we were tired," he said. "The first thing somebody did was ask me to join the Lions. That's the truth."
In his second week here, Colston said he attended a meeting and joined shortly after.
The club's size, Raletz said, allows it also to take on a host of different civic service projects without burning members out too quickly. For much of its existence, the club has led efforts like scholarships for area students, annual pecan sales, delivery of trash bags for the city's annual Spring Clean Up and staffing booths at community events. But perhaps the centerpiece of their mission are the Lions work with vision care.
Kim Pearl, the first vice president for the club, said that work is what got her involved in the first place, shortly after she began her optometry practice.
"In fact, Helen Keller referred to us as the knights of the blind," she said. "So since then we have really worked diligently not only help people see better by getting them glass if they can't afford them, but also try to better educate people on vision issues."
The Lions have a mobile vision screening booth and can frequently be found at community events providing free vision checks. They've also partnered with Leavenworth's St. Vincent Clinic to provide some vision services to uninsured patients.
Though the club might be able to accomplish a lot of those goals because of their numbers, Raletz said there's another aspect to the club that has driven its activities for the last 75 years and hopefully into the next 75.
"You can't be here, even once, and not feel the enthusiasm," he said. " That's how they attack everything."

Professional chefs perfer natural bean vanilla paste; real vanilla flavor fast and easy.
This natural Vanilla Bean Paste is a fast and easy way to add vanilla bean flavor, with the appearance of seeds, to your cooking and baking.
Many professional chefs prefer to use vanilla bean paste, since it eliminates the time consuming process of splitting and scraping the seeds from the beans.
One teaspoon of paste has the equivalent flavor to a whole vanilla bean.
Our rich, concentrated vanilla bean paste can be used in lieu of pure vanilla extract in puddings, cakes, cookies, ice cream or anywhere the flavor and appearance of vanilla beans is desired.
Using vanilla bean paste is also cost effective. One four fluid ounce jar contains approximately twelve tablespoons of paste, which is equivalent to twelve whole vanilla beans at a fraction of the cost.

I started using this to make the glaze for my sour cream pound cakes. I have gotten so many compliments on the flavor. I don't think I will use anything else now.


text: Thursday, October 13, 2011 HHS to Investigate 'Incident To' Billing in 2012 The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) next year will conduct an investigation into how many office visits, consultations, and other services are performed by unqualified nonphysicians under Medicare's "incident-to" billing rules, says a Medscape Medical News article. Physicians have drawn much of their Medicare reimbursement through incident-to billing. An OIG study in 2009 revealed that when Medicare allowed physicians to bill the program for more than 24 hours of service within a single day, nonphysicians had performed half the services. OIG finds no fault in that pattern, says Medscape. OIG's concern is that 21% of the services were performed by nonphysicians who lacked needed licenses or certifications, verifiable credentials, or the appropriate training, to render the services. (Read APTA's press release on OIG's 2009 report.) In its 2012 work plan, OIG says that incident-to billing "may be vulnerable to overutilization and expose Medicare beneficiaries to care that does not meet professional standards of quality." OIG intends to determine whether incident-to claims have a higher error rate than ordinary ones and assess the ability of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to monitor incident-to services, which are not identified as such on claims. This is just 1 new investigation that the HHS plans to conduct next year. OIG also will look into such diverse issues as the extent to which physicians are opting out of Medicare, the safety and quality of care at ambulatory surgery centers, and physician-owned companies that distribute spinal implants, the article says.

BLACKSBURG, Va.- For the second time this season, Duke University junior Laura Weinberg registered a golden goal as the 5-9 forward lifted the seventh-ranked Blue Devil women's soccer team past 15th-ranked Virginia Tech, 3-2 in overtime, on Thursday evening in Blacksburg, Va. Weinberg collected two goals on the night as Duke notched a key road victory at Thompson Field.
"This was a crucial game in our schedule," said Duke head coach Robbie Church. "Virginia Tech is a very good team. For us to go on the road to play back-to-back games against top 15 teams in a short period of time, this was big time for us to come up here to get a win. It was one of the more impressive wins we have had in our 12 years here."
With the victory, Duke moves to 9-3-1 overall and 3-2-1 in ACC action, while Virginia Tech falls to 10-3, 2-3. The Blue Devils played their fourth overtime match of the season and is now 2-1-1 in those contests.
Duke and Virginia Tech kicked off the match trading shots before the Hokies got on the board at the 30:15 mark as Ashley Meier blasted a shot that went off the crossbar, but it came right back to her feet and she was able to hit the back of the net on the second attempt to give Virginia Tech a 1-0 advantage.
At the end of the first half, Duke was outshot by an 8-4 ledger. The four shots matched a season low for the Blue Devils and Duke was outshot in the first stanza for only the fifth time this year, including the second straight.
"I thought we shot ourselves in the foot in the first half," commented Church. "We came out, played well early and had a couple of opportunities. Then all of a sudden we started giving balls away. It wasn't anything they were doing, it was what we were not doing. We slowly, but surely, started playing better at the end of the first half."
Coming out in the second half, Duke changed its formation to a 4-4-2 as Church felt like the team was getting beat in the midfield. The formation change worked as the Blue Devils were able to start generating more offense, after only four first half shots.
"They had numbers at midfield in the first half and they were finding the extra player really well and that was hurting us," said Church. "We changed and matched their system. I thought our midfield was terrific. We became ball winners in the midfield, were able to attack them off the dribble and attack them off the combination play. It was a great second half."
The Blue Devils were able to even the match, 1-1, in the 67th minute as Laura Weinberg took a ball in the midfield and drove just outside the box and rocketed in her 12th goal of the season. Duke wasted no time taking the lead less than five minutes later as Mollie Pathman served in a ball from the left side to a leaping junior Kaitlyn Kerr, who headed in her third goal of the year.
With the Blue Devils ahead 2-1, Duke could not get the ball out of the box in the 76th minute off a corner kick by Virginia Tech. Kelsey Loupee of the Hokies was able to capitalize hitting the right corner of the net to tie the score, 2-2.
At the end of the second half, the Blue Devils held a 16-12 shot advantage as Duke outshot Virginia Tech, 12-4, over the final 45 minutes.
Duke began the first overtime period with an excellent shot off the left foot of freshman Cassie Pecht, but it went just over the crossbar. The Blue Devils continued to stay on the attack and 6:42 into the extra frame redshirt junior Kim DeCesare sent a cross into the box where Weinberg took a couple of touches, turned around and hit a left-footed shot that went off Hokie goalkeeper Dayle Colpitts, off the post and into the back of the net. Weinberg's second goal of the night gave the Blue Devils a 3-2 overtime win.
Weinberg, who is out of Boca Raton, Fla., now owns 13 goals on the year, which moves her into tied for seventh place on Duke's single season goals list. She also moved into eighth place on the Blue Devil single-season points list. In the career charts, Weinberg moved into seventh place on the points list with 72, tied for eighth with nine game-winning goals and into sole possession of second place with eight multi-goal contests.
In goal for the Blue Devils, senior Tara Campbell collected one save in 96:42 minutes of action. Duke outshot Virginia Tech, 18-12, for the match as Weinberg led all players with seven attempts; Kerr added five and Pecht two shots.
The Blue Devils will return home to host 13th-ranked Boston College on Sunday, Oct. 7 at 1:00 p.m., at Koskinen Stadium.

Right now, the master of surrealism for teens is Nova Ren Suma. For those unfamiliar with surrealism, it can be an acquired taste. Its not quite realistic fiction and its not quite fantasy or paranormal. Her books leave you with more questions than answers, and you may feel the story was dreamed rather than read. Suma says she was inspired by magical realism, which is a genre that introduces magical elements into an otherwise normal world. This isnt the magic of Harry Potter, but magic that exists at the edges of things. These books arent fully paranormal, but as a reader you cant shake the feeling that something is amiss. If youre the kind of reader that likes a solid ending that answers all of your questions, these may not be right for you. If you like open endings and enjoy the psychological heebie-jeebies, then you are in for a treat.
Nova Ren Sumas YA debut, Imaginary Girls, was released in the summer of 2011. At its surface, this book is about the relationship between two sisters, our narrator Chloe and her enigmatic sister Ruby. There are parties by a reservoir, cute boys, and interesting new friends; but readers will quickly discover that things are not what they appear. The first oddity is the reappearance of a girl who drowned two years prior, but Chloe is the only one who seems to remember. There are also the stories Ruby tells about the former residents of Olive, a town flooded when the reservoir was built. Are the former residents still living beneath the water? This book isnt a traditional paranormal thriller, but it is certainly unsettling. There is a dreamy quality to Sumas writing and this novel is unlike anything I have encountered in YA.
Favorite Quote:
Rubys stories didnt have morals. They meant one thing in the light and one thing in the dark and another thing entirely when she was wearing sunglasses.
Sumas most recent novel is 17 & Gone . The narrator, Lauren, is haunted by girls who disappeared the year they turned 17. Police never fully investigated the disappearances because it was believed the girls ran away willingly, but Lauren knows better. The missing girls keep appearing in her car, in her room, on the side of the road; and they want her to find out what really happened to them. The book is a mix of mystery, ghost story, and psychological thriller. There is a bit more action than in Imaginary Girls, but the same unsettling atmosphere remains. Determining what is real and what is just in Laurens head may be the focus, but the real horror of the novel is why no one cared to investigate after the girls went missing.
Favorite Quotes:
I was 17. I was a girl. Didn't we matter?
How heartless it was for a girl to be forgotten and buried before there was even anything of her to put in the ground."

Do you like dystopia? Do you like vampires? Then I have the book for you: When the Sea Is Rising Red by Cat Hellisen. Yep you guessed it: its vampire dystopia! In the society that is the backdrop for this story, marriages are arranged, class/caste is everything, and vampires are part of society. Felicita is a 17-year-old girl who is a member of the highest class, and her best friend, Ilven, has just committed suicide rather than marry the man her parents chose for her. When Felicitas family announces that her own marriage has been arranged to a man she has absolutely no wish to marry, Felicita decides to fake her own death and run away. She hides in the citys slums and becomes a dishwasher in a tea house. She also meets two very different guys: Dash, a charming bad-boy type, and Jannik, a vampire. And then, to top it all off, Ilvens suicide has called up some sort of sea creature bent on destruction, and Felicita has to save her new friends, her family, and the entire town from the creatures wrath.
Now for more vampires! This next book is a loose retelling of the Snow White fairy tale with vampires (and a little bit of The Godfather thrown in for good measure). Nameless by Lili St. Crow is about a girl named Camille. When she was a small child, Camille was discovered shivering in the snow by Enrico Vultusino, the head of one of the seven powerful vampire clans. Camille doesnt remember who she used to be or where all of her scars came from. And then she meets Tor, who has scars similar to her own, and wonders if he could be a link to her mysterious past.

text: I read The Great Gatsby in high school. It's one of the few forced reading assignments that I actually remember enjoying. Which is why when the movie was released recently I had to see it. I am usually leery of movies based on novels, (especially novels that I enjoy) but this one was quite good. Though the movie has a modern feel to it in speed and stamina, the actual storyline from the novel is in tact. So even though the characters dance to modern music, none of the storyline or theme is lost. It is The Great Gatsby through and through. The point of the novel is subtle, but the movie come right out and says it. Though many people I'm sure will appreciate the directness.

Twinkies: It's what's for dinner
I thought I was indulging in exotic, perhaps ironic, fare when I sampled fried Twinkies at the Woodstock Fair a few years back.
I was wrong. Dead wrong.
You want exotic? Try Twinkie Love Potion #75, a drinkable Twinkie recipe that marries vanilla ice cream, strawberries and two Twinkies.
Prefer savory spongecake? Seek ye Twinkies in a Blanket: literally fried sausage links stuffed into a Twinkie (with the top cut off, naturally). That's it.
Now that Hostess has announced that it must shut down operations nationwide as a result of rising costs, labor turmoil and other management snafus, it seems likely that Twinkies will be celebrated and cherished as something American as apple pie. The Internet is already mourning the death of Twinkie the Kid, that happy cowboy Twinkie-Man on the cake packages who charmed the sweet-teethed into eating ... well, him ... for years. He may yet join Elvis in the pantheon of beloved Americans.
Hostess headed to bankruptcy court earlier this week and was sent back to the union-negotiating drawing board by the judge. And even if talks turn sour, Hostess may yet survive to supply the masses with spongecake and other goodies should a buyer emerge. The Associated Press reports that Hostess received more than a few inquiries from buyers, among them, Flowers Foods, which makes - what else? - Tastykakes. Hostess has not confirmed who's barking up its cream-filled tree.
So, with the very long shelf-lives of Twinkies et al still in the balance, let us give them fitting preparation going forward. Don't just eat them straight from the package, consider them an ingredient - a player in the symphony of your next dinner or dessert or dessert-as-dinner.
Naturally, we've included a Twinkie-plus-turkey recipe just in time for Thanksgiving.
Twinkling Turkey
From "The Twinkies Cookbook: An Inventive and Unexpected Recipe Collection from Hostess"
Serves 15 to 20.
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package yellow corn muffin mix, prepared and baked according to package instructions
6 Twinkies halves lengthwise
1 (14-18-pound) turkey
1 tart apple, peeled, cored and diced
1/4 cup honey
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Scrape the cream filling out of the Twinkies with a small spoon and reserve in small bowl.
Cut the Twinkie pastry into cubes and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Decrease the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Rinse the turkey. Crumble muffins into a bowl, add the apple and toasted Twinkies and mix lightly. Loosely stuff the mixture into the turkey and truss the legs. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan. Roast the turkey for 12 to 15 minutes per pound, until the thigh temperature reaches 175 degrees to 180 degrees and the juices run clear.
In a small bowl, combine the honey with the reserved cream filling and mix well. Brush the turkey with the honey mixture during the last 10 to 15 minutes of roasting time.
Remove the turkey from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes before carving.
Twinkie Weiner Sandwich
Inspired by the movie "UHF," recreated (with tongue in cheek) and posted to allrecipes.com.
4 hot dogs
4 cream-filled sponge snack cakes (such as Twinkies)
4 (4 inch) squirts of pressurized canned cheese, or to taste
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add hot dogs, and boil until thoroughly hot, about 5 minutes; drain and keep warm.
Meanwhile, unwrap the snack cakes, and place onto a cutting board, upside-down. Cut halfway through the bottoms of the snack cakes with a small, serrated knife to create "buns" for the hot dogs.
Blot the hot dogs with a paper towel to remove excess water and place a hot dog inside each "bun". Remove the protective top from the can of cheese, and hold the nozzle close to, but not touching, the exposed side of the hot dog. Dispense cheese by decisively pressing the nozzle towards the hot dog and slowly drawing the tip along the hot dog in a straight line, or decorative pattern of your choice.

Recipes to make your own actual Twinkie-style cakes abound online. This one came up frequently, and the Today show featured it when Twinkies celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2005.
Recipe by Todd Wilbur
For the cake:
Non-stick spray
4 egg whites
One 16-ounce box golden pound cake mix
2/3 cup water
For the filling:
2 teaspoons very hot water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar)
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
You will need a spice bottle, approximately the size of a Twinkie, 10 12- by 14-inch pieces of aluminum foil, a cake decorator or pastry bag, and a chopstick.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Fold each piece of aluminum foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top of the mold open for pouring in the batter. Make 10 of these molds and arrange them on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan. Grease the inside of each mold with a light coating of non-stick spray.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl combine cake mix with water and beat until thoroughly blended (about 2 minutes). Fold egg whites into the cake batter and slowly combine until completely mixed.
Pour the batter into the molds, filling each one about 3/4 of an inch. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
For the filling, combine salt with the hot water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool.
Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy.
Add the salt solution to the filling mixture and combine.
When the cakes are done and cooled, use a skewer or chopstick to make three holes in the bottom of each one. Move the stick around inside of each cake to create space for the filling.
Using a cake decorator or pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes.

Often times in the midst of your draft, you'll find yourself deciding between a couple players at the same position. With Player Showdowns, we take two players who are closely ranked by Average Draft Position (ADP) and/or Rotoworld's 2013 season projections and have writers take a side and debate who should be selected first. Whose side will you be on?
We'll offer up one Showdown per position (catcher, first base, second base, shortstop, third base, outfield, starter and reliever) here, and you can get dozens more by purchasing the 2013 Rotoworld Baseball Draft Guide. It's an essential weapon to have in your arsenal at the draft table this spring.
Also, be sure to sign up for a free fantasy baseball league with our partners over at Yahoo! Sports. As you're all well aware of at this point, it's the best fantasy platform out there.
Hanley Ramirez vs. Jose Reyes
With Ramirez and Reyes, we have a battle of former teammates. Ramirez is coming off an uneven season in which he batted .257/.322/.437 with 24 home runs, 92 RBI, 24 stolen bases and a .759 OPS between the Marlins and Dodgers. Meanwhile, Reyes was excellent after getting off to a slow start last year, hitting .287/.347/.433 with 11 home runs, 57 RBI, 40 stolen bases and a .780 OPS. Unfortunately he only finished with 86 runs scored, but that was mostly due to the lousy supporting cast around him in Miami. Things should be better now that he'll sit atop a talented lineup in Toronto, but I'm a bit worried about how his hamstrings will hold up on the artificial turf at Rogers Centre. Ramirez's strikeout rate has increased in each of the last two seasons, so maybe he won't be a .300 hitter again, but he still offers 20-20 potential out of the shortstop position. He's also likely to drive in more runs, as Reyes has never topped 81 RBI in a season. And that was back in 2006. The Dodgers may eventually move Ramirez back to third base where he likely belongs, but he's my No. 2 fantasy shortstop this season behind Troy Tulowitzki. - D.J. Short (@djshort)
On the surface, here are two very frustrating players. Reyes? He's always hurt. Hanley? He's always off in his own world. Who can you trust to stay healthy, and be consistent? The answer may not be as complicated as you think. Since Ramirez won the National League batting title with a .342 average in 2009, he's hit just .269/.346/.438 with a 111 OPS+. Compare that to a .301/.350/.450 slash (and 118 OPS+) for Reyes. Based on those averages alone, of course you'd rather have Reyes. But certainly his numbers were compiled over a much smaller sample size because of his propensity for injury, right? Wrong. Reyes has actually averaged more games than Ramirez over the past three seasons, suiting up an average of 140 times to Ramirez's 130. In addition to every triple slash number, Reyes has Hanley soundly beaten in every standard fantasy category except home runs and RBI (for the record, Reyes has 30 more extra-base hits than Ramirez since 2010). He's scored more runs (270 to 226) and stolen far more bases (109 to 73). Throw in the fact that he'll now be batting atop one of the league's most dangerous lineups in perhaps its most hitter-friendly division, and you have a player who looks far more reliable and productive than his former teammate. – Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat)
