For the first time in the two-year push to topple President Bashar Assad, the United States said Thursday that it will send food and medicine directly to armed Syrian rebels.
But the announcement fell far short of rebel calls for anti-aircraft missiles and the imposition of a no-fly zone, and it left many members of the opposition dissatisfied.
Even a European agreement to amend its arms embargo to allow rebels access to non-lethal military equipment and armored vehicles on condition that they be used only to protect civilians failed to calm their anger.
"Unfortunately, as always, the West's promises are smaller than its actions," said Samir Nashar, a businessman from Aleppo and a founding member of the Syrian Coalition of Opposition and Revolutionary Forces, the umbrella group set up last year at the United States' behest.
"How will armored cars protect us from SCUD missiles and barrel bombs?" Nashar asked. "The U.S. said it would provide food and medicine to the revolutionaries by plane. We always hear words and no actions. I think it's a policy aimed to manage the crisis, not to help the Free Syrian Army on the ground."
Speaking in Rome, where U.S. allies met with Syrian opposition leaders, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the U.S. support should not be taken in isolation.
"Different countries are choosing to do different things, and we make this evaluation based on the whole," Kerry said. "I am absolutely confident from what I heard in there from other foreign ministers that the totality of this effort is going to have an impact on the ability of the Syrian opposition to accomplish its goals."
The meeting included foreign ministers from Turkey, France, Germany, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. None of those other nations announced specific new plans to assist the anti-Assad opposition, but Saudi Arabia and Qatar are already believed to be providing weapons and ammunition.
Kerry said the new U.S. aid would go to the Supreme Military Command, the armed wing of the opposition coalition. Separate from the rebels' aid, Kerry said, the coalition would receive $60 million in direct U.S. assistance in an attempt to help the group organize itself and appoint a transitional government in waiting.
So far, that's been a difficult task as members fight over their competing visions of a post-Assad Syria. Despite the pledge of aid, the coalition canceled a meeting to select a new government that had been set for Saturday. There was no explanation for the cancelation.
The U.S. decision to supply the rebels with nonlethal aid moves its policy a notch beyond the Obama administration's longtime stance of backing only the political and nonviolent opposition. But it is unlikely to bring a quick end to the conflict, which has claimed an estimated 70,000 lives since it began in March 2011.
"It will not be a game changer," Chris Doyle, the director of the Council for Arab British Understanding, wrote in a blog posting analyzing the announcement. "Another six months of this conflict (and) we may be looking at 150,000 casualties and a million and a half refugees, and there is still no international plan to end the crisis."
Of particular concern, Doyle said, is the possibility that lethal aid provided to the rebels will end up in the hands of the Nusra Front, a rebel faction that the U.S. State Department has said is really a part of al Qaida in Iraq.
Officials in Russia, which along with Iran is one of the Assad regime's last supporters, decried the U.S. announcement as a "a wink and a nod" to nations such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia to deliver arms.
One Russian official called it "very unfortunate" in that it detracts attention from pushing regime and opposition representatives into talks for a negotiated transition.
"The U.S. for a number of reasons chooses not to sully its hands with direct supply of weapons to the armed groups, because among them are terrorists and others with whom the U.S. would prefer not to be associated," Vitaly Churkin, Russia's United Nations envoy, told Russia Today, a government aligned new agency.
American officials said that recipients of U.S. aid would be vetted by the Supreme Military Command, a 30-member body that ostensibly coordinates regional military councils in each of Syria's 14 provinces. The council is based in Bab al Hawa, just inside Syria's northern border with Turkey.
The command is led by a defected Syrian general, Salim Idriss, whose actual influence over the fighting groups is unknown, as they are often amorphous, have disparate ideologies and come from different parts of the country. The command includes 11 former Syrian military officers and 19 civilian leaders.
Until recently, the command received virtually no support from outside backers, despite U.S. help in its formation. Members from across the country complained of being quickly outgunned by rebel groups that received direct backing from private donors and Gulf Arab states.
Islamist fighting groups such as the Nusra Front have no allegiance to the Supreme Military Command. But it coordinates on the battlefield with groups that do.
Many foreign aid donations, wheat and flour in particular, also end up being distributed by rebel groups that aren't aligned with the military councils. For example, Ahrar al Sham, an Islamist brigade that operates across northern and central Syria, hands out humanitarian aid from IHH, a nonprofit group with strong ties to the Turkish government.
International humanitarian agencies with operations inside Syria and among refugees in neighboring countries were collectively relieved at the U.S. decision to give money directly to the opposition coalition for its own projects on sanitation, education and other areas where improvements could broaden popular support for the disorganized group.
Aid groups had feared that the Obama administration might cave to pressure from Congress to turn over the delivery of humanitarian aid to the opposition coalition. They argued it would have been an affront to the traditional neutrality of humanitarian aid and that the coalition didn't have the resources to distribute the goods efficiently.
Sharon Waxman, vice president of public policy and advocacy for the International Rescue Committee, which operates inside the country via Syrian partners, said she applauds the administration for finding a way to bolster the Syrian opposition without diverting funds and projects that are typically administered by established, experienced organizations.
"It's a separate pot of money," Waxman said. "It's not coming from the traditional humanitarian parts of the budget."

USDA has announced plans to establish a new USDA Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets and to create a federal government-wide Conservation and Land Management Environmental Services Board to assist the secretary of agriculture in the development of new technical guidelines and science-based methods to assess environmental service benefits which will in turn promote markets for ecosystem services including carbon trading to mitigate climate change.
"Our nation's farms, ranches and forests provide goods and services that are vital to society — natural assets we call "ecosystem services," said Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer. "The Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets will enable America's agriculture producers to better compete, trade their services around the world, and make significant contributions to help improve the environment."
Agriculture producers provide many ecosystem services which have historically been viewed as free benefits to society — clean water and air, wildlife habitat, carbon storage, and scenic landscapes. Lacking a formal structure to market these services, farmers, ranchers and forest landowners are not generally compensated for providing these critical public benefits.
Market-based approaches to conservation are cost-effective methods to achieve environmental goals and sustain working and natural landscapes. Without financial incentives, these ecosystem services may be lost as privately-owned lands are sold or converted to development.
Shafer said he will name Sally Collins as the director of the Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets. Organizationally, OESM will have direct access to the secretary. Collins will assume this position after serving as associate chief of the USDA Forest Service for the past eight years, where she pioneered concepts for ecosystem services and markets as part of that agency's sustainable land management mission.
OESM will provide administrative and technical assistance to the secretary in developing guidelines and tools needed to create and expand markets for ecosystem services and will support the work of the Conservation and Land Management Environmental Services Board.
As directed by the authorizing legislation, the first ecosystem services to be examined will be carbon sequestration. The Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets and the Conservation and Land Management Environmental Services Board will be established to implement actions authorized by the 2008 farm bill.
The Conservation and Land Management Environmental Services Board will be comprised of the secretaries of Interior, Energy, Commerce, Transportation, and Defense; the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors; the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology ; the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; and the commander of the Army Corps of Engineers. The secretary of agriculture will chair the board. The chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Administrator of Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs will serve as vice-chairs.
Nominations will be sought in the near future for a federally chartered public advisory committee to advise the board. The advisory committee will include farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners, tribal representatives, as well as representatives from state natural resource and environmental agencies, agriculture departments, and conservation and environmental organizations.
"Ecosystem service markets will be one of the most important and exciting new tools to improve our nation's environment — reducing greenhouse gasses, improving water quality and expanding wildlife habitat," said Jon Scholl, American Farmland Trust president. "The new Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets — the activities of which were authorized in the farm bill passed in June — will help make these markets a reality."
"As the single largest user of land and water resources in the United States, agriculture has a significant impact on the nation's environment. Agriculture also is one of the most cost effective ways to improve two of our nation's most pressing environmental challenges — water quality and climate change. Creating markets for environmental benefits will result in enormous new opportunities for farmers and ranchers to improve the environment while expanding their sources of revenue.
"Our vision for the future is one where producers see ecosystem services as a commodity just like corn, soybeans or wheat," Scholl said.
"We look forward to providing assistance and expertise to Susan Collins, the new USDA director, in developing these markets. We can end up with cleaner water, cleaner air, and a more economically viable agriculture sector if we do this right," Scholl said.

Eaton Sheriff's Office on Cutting Edge of Mobile Computing
Sheriff Mike Raines is pleased to announce that Eaton County has undertaken an ambitious project to rein in the cost of in-car computer systems, while also moving forward with new technologies that are available.
Instead of a $6000 laptop, assigned to one vehicle, a tablet PC capable of running the mobile computing software is now being issued to each individual Deputy. While there have been tablets available for several years for mobile applications, they have all been based on the ruggedized versions. With the technology changing so rapidly in mobile computing applications, it becomes a challenge to keep up with those changes while funding sources dwindle.
The tablets that are being issued have the same Windows based operating system, as used by the larger, more expensive laptops. All the functionality is still in place including GPS tracking of patrol units, and mobile reporting software. Being able to complete both crash and incident reports from the field saves both time and fuel.
The cost of the tablets is $640 per unit, and the one- time cost of the mounting system for the patrol car is approximately $700. A patrol vehicle normally shared by 3 Deputies, places it in service for 36 hours in a 48 hour period. Under the laptop approach, this equates to $1666 per Deputy for that terminal. By switching to the tablet, the same cost for those three Deputies drops to $873.
The bottom line is that by using the available technologies, the cost of mobile computing is dropping dramatically. The cost savings is attracting a lot of attention from other mobile computing public safety agencies. Sheriff Raines commended Sgt. Aaron Brown for his foresight and hard work on this project. He also wants to thank 911 Director Steve Leese for funding the project.

SETTING: Outdoors.
Narrator:Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them.
Little Bo Peep:Here FiFi! Here Rex! Oh, I don't know where to find you!
Narrator:She looked for them every which way, until she stumbled upon Little Boy Blue's stack of hay.
(Little Bo Peep trips over the stack of hay.)
Little Bo Peep:Hey Little Boy Blue, wake up!
(Little Boy Blue wakes with a start.)
Little Bo Peep:My sheep are in your meadow, the cows are in the corn, Little Boy Blue PLEASE blow your horn!
Little Boy Blue:Yes Ma'am!
(Little Boy Blue plays a jazzy tune on his horn.)
Narrator:But instead of coming to the call of the horn like they should, the sheep ran off into the woods.
(Sheep do so.)
Little Bo Peep:Hey, sheep! Wait up!
(Little Bo Peep runs off into the woods where she bumps into Little Red Riding Hood.)
Little Bo Peep:Oh, hello. Have you seen my sheep? I'm Little Bo Peep, and I don't know where to find them!
Red Riding Hood:Yes, yes. I know. We met once upon a time.
Little Bo Peep:Can you help me?
Little Red Riding Hood:Wish I could but I have to get to Grandma's house, deliver these goodies and take care of her, she's sick you know.
Little Bo Peep:Are you sure you can't help me?
Little Red Riding Hood:Well, when you really think about it...how could I? I'm not allowed to talk to strangers.
(Little Red Riding Hood exits.)
Little Bo Peep:But I'm not a stranger, remember we met once upon a time, Little Red?
Narrator:Although Little Bo Peep couldn't find her sheep, she soon came across Humpty Dumpty's wall.
Humpty Dumpty:Hello dear little girl! Come here and sit with me on my wall! I tell you it's quite fun!
Little Bo Peep:I'd love to, but I can't. You see, I have to find my sheep! Did you see them come by here?
Humpty Dumpty:Well, I'm not sure if I've seen any...Whoa!
(Humpty Dumpty falls off his wall.)
Little Bo Peep:Goodness gracious! Are you alright?
Humpty Dumpty:Ohhhhh! (Groaning) All the King's horses and all the King's men are on vacation this week! Little Bo Peep, you have to help me put myself back together again.
Little Bo Peep:ME?! Well, okay. I'll try my best.
Narrator:Little Bo Peep did so much better than the King's horses and his men. She put Humpty Dumpty together again!
Little Bo Peep:There! All done!
Humpty Dumpty:Thank you ever so much! How can I ever repay you?
Little Bo Peep:If you would tell me which way my sheep went, then that would be payment enough.
Humpty Dumpty:I believe that they went in the direction of your house.
Little Bo Peep:Thank you, Humpty.
(Little Bo Peep, once again, is on her way.)
Narrator:But when Little Bo Peep finally got there, all she could do was stand and stare.
Little Bo Peep:Oh no! My sheep aren't here! What should I do?!
Narrator:Little Bo Peep gave a big sigh.
(Little Bo Peep does so.)
And then she sat down and began to cry.
And as her first tear fell to the ground, she heard a faint sheep-like sound.
(Little Bo Peep raises her head.)
Little Bo Peep:Rex? FiFi? Is that you?
(Sheep enter.)
Little Bo Peep:Oh, Rex! (Baaa...) Oh, FiFi! (Baaa...) I looked EVERYWHERE for you! And all the time, I just had to let you come home by yourselves! Come here you guys! Big woolly hug!
We missed you!
Narrator:So Little Bo Peep's sheep finally came home. Let the lesson she learned to all be known. If ever you lose your sheep, as did Little Bo Peep, just leave them alone, and they'll come home, wagging their tails behind them.
(Sheep's tails wag, and a "The End" sign comes up in front of their tails.)

Lawyer: 2 women alleged to be Mandela's daughters
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The families of two women who have sought to be recognized as children of Nelson Mandela have contacted the executors of the will of the anti-apartheid leader, but are not seeking money, a lawyer said Monday.
Michael Katz, a lawyer for the executors, said he had received an attorney's letter citing the women's claims, and that he would discuss the matter with the executors, who revealed details of the will last week.
"They made the claim that they are descendants of Madiba," Katz said, using Mandela's clan name. "They indicated that this wasn't a monetary claim."
In this photo taken Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2010, Onica Mothoa, alleged to be Nelson Mandela¿s daughter at her home in Soshanguve near Pretoria, South Africa. Attorneys for the families of two women who have sought to be recognized as children of Nelson Mandela have contacted the executors of his will. Michael Katz, a lawyer for the executors, said Monday, Feb. 10, 2014 that he had received a letter citing the women's claims, but that it was not a petition for money from the will. The Star, a South African newspaper, has reported that one of the women, Onica Mothoa, says she does not care about the anti-apartheid leader's inheritance but wants to be recognized as his daughter. The Star reported that the other woman, Mpho Pule, died several years ago. (AP Photo) SOUTH AFRICA OUT NO ARCHIVE
Allegations that Mandela had dalliances outside his marriage to his first wife, Evelyn Mase, have circulated for years. At the time, in the 1940s and 1950s, he was embarking on a legal career and becoming an organizer in the fight against white minority rule. Mandela, who became president in South Africa's first all-race elections in 1994, died Dec. 5 at the age of 95 after a long illness.
One woman seeking recognition as Mandela's daughter, Onica Mothoa, said she does not care about his inheritance but wants to be acknowledged and has taken a DNA test in hopes of proving her claim, reported The Star, a South African newspaper.
The other woman, 63-year-old Mpho Pule, died from a stroke in 2009 after trying in vain to contact Mandela, the Mail and Guardian newspaper reported in 2010. Pule started trying to meet Mandela in 1998 after her grandmother told her that Mandela was her father, according to the newspaper.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation says Mandela had six children, and three died. It does not mention Mothoa and Pule in a genealogy. They were reportedly born during Mandela's stormy marriage to Mase, with whom he had four children. The couple divorced in 1958. Mase, who died in 2004, had accused Mandela of adultery.
"I know the Mandela family have always believed that I was being opportunistic because I wanted a share in the inheritance. That's not true. I just want them to acknowledge that Mandela is my father," The Star quoted Mothoa, who is in her 60s, as saying.
"No amount of millions can buy the identity of a person. It is very important even for my children, as well as my grandchildren, to know who they are," said Mothoa, who had tried in vain to see Mandela when he was sick last year.
The executors of Mandela's estate said last week that his estate was worth roughly $4.1 million and that it will be shared between his family, members of his staff, schools that he attended and the African National Congress, the movement that fought white rule and now governs South Africa.

Film Review
Brokeback Mountain
Ledger, Gyllenhaal reach new heights with heartfelt drama
Brokeback Mountain
Directed by Ang Lee
Cast: Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal
Brokeback Mountain, the much-buzzed-about new drama/romance, makes a powerful and timely statement. No matter how often some in society try to marginalize, denigrate or "amend" away the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, love will always exist--whether it's between people of the opposite sex or people of the same sex, whether in rural or urban America. Brokeback Mountain isn't a "gay cowboy" story, as some in the media and pop culture have tried to portray it--it's an American love story, plain and simple.
Directed by Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Sense and Sensibility) and starring Heath Ledger (Lords of Dogtown, Monster's Ball) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Jarhead, Donnie Darko), Brokeback Mountain is the story of two cowboys tasked with herding sheep in Wyoming during the summer of 1963. On a cold night on the mountain, the two men end up sharing a pup tent together, leading to a discreet love affair that spans several years.
Following their summer together on Brokeback, the two young men go their separate ways. Ennis Del Mar (Ledger) gets married and starts a family, while Jack Twist (Gyllenhaal) goes on the rodeo circuit and marries the daughter of a combine salesman. The love between the two men, however, never dissipates. Del Mar and Twist subsequently meet up a number of times, but the notion of these two men spending their lives together--in the American West of the '60s and '70s--is out of the question.
Thus, viewers are exposed to a poignant, heartbreaking and emotional drama focusing on the consequences of both illicit and unfulfilled love. The film is based on a short story by E. Annie Proulx (The Shipping News) and a screenplay written by Larry McMurty (Lonesome Dove) and Diana Ossana (Johnson County War). The picture deviates little from Proulx's story, which originally appeared in The New Yorker magazine in 1997 and is now widely available in bookstores.
Ledger's strong portrayal of Del Mar--the rougher, harder-edged of the two men--accurately encapsulates the tortured emotions that come with having to constantly deny and hide your true feelings. Likewise, Gyllenhaal's Twist shines as the more emotional character--the one willing to sacrifice everything for the prospect of happiness with the person he loves, if only given the chance.
Ang Lee's colorful imagery and skillful filmmaking capture both the essence of life in the West and the struggles faced internally and externally by Del Mar and Twist. An impressive musical score by Gustavo Santaolalla (North Country, 21 Grams) sets a bittersweet tone for the film.
Unfortunately, Brokeback Mountain possesses a downside with its less than credible makeup. Despite the best efforts of makeup artist Manlio Rocchetti, whose credits include Gods and Generals and Gangs of New York, films set over long spans of time often face this peril. With the film's actors being in their early and mid-20s, it's fairly difficult for Rocchetti to age them convincingly. However, this detail is minor when weighed against the sum of the film.
There was a time when "playing it gay" meant putting your Hollywood career on the line. But Brokeback Mountain rates as nothing less than a watershed film, and it would be surprising if Ledger or Gyllenhaal are passed over for Academy Award nominations. Their powerful and convincing performances are a tribute to their flexibility and talent as actors. Furthermore, both men have been given an amazing opportunity at a young age that many actors never get--the ability to help shatter society's stereotypes on a large scale and create real change through art. Their work in Brokeback Mountain helps reveal a first-rate love story--evidence of the fact that love knows no boundaries, no matter who you are or where you're from.

If you're able to take advantage of a delayed spring, it might provide the benefit of getting in a few extra weeks of scouting for potential tree stand sites for this fall's deer season. Although cover, food sources and proximity to bedding areas are the three main ingredients I look for when selecting potential stands sites, a fourth consideration is equally important: sun exposure.
As I noted in my book Whitetail Wisdom, sunlight plays a very important role in regard to how many objects appear to white-tailed deer. If possible, try to avoid situating a hang-on tree stand or pop-up ground blind in areas that receive direct sunlight. Even if you're hunting 20 feet high or higher, the slightest movement in such areas will be detected immediately by any nearby deer. The bright light will reflect off objects and cause them to appear very light in color to the deer, which enables them to spot movement instantly.
When looking for new stand or blind sites, I look for areas that receive natural shade throughout the day. The shade could come from nearby trees, hillsides or even ridge tops. Movement under these conditions will not be detected as quickly by deer. The important thing to remember here is shade not only conceals you from deer already in bow range, but it also it helps you from being picked off by deer traveling through nearby corridors and feeding areas.
Prep your hunting spots now before the foliage becomes too thick. Use a good ratchet-style pruning shears to trim shooting holes (not lanes) near your tree stand. Other helpful items to use while scouting include:
1. Scent-free gauntlet gloves are ideal for moving branches and other debris.
2. A smaller (6-foot) pole saw, which is very portable and ideal for cutting "holes" in the canopy at tree-stand heights.
3. A dedicated pair of rubber or neoprene boots that you only use for scouting/hanging stands. I prefer Muck boots, because they fit perfectly to my heels and offer all-day support. If your preference is LaCrosse boots, or other brands, make sure they fit well, are comfortable and stored away from anything that might put odors on them.
Just like I do with my turkey hunting gear, I store all of my stand-hanging gear, boots, gloves, ratchet pruners, etc., in a scent-free travel bag. I keep that bag sealed and in my attic so I'm not tempted to use the gear for lawn work, etc. This helps keep it scent-free and ready to use whenever I need it.

Plymouth State to convert campus to natural gas and saveBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
April 25. 2013 12:14AM
PLYMOUTH - Plymouth State University has signed a deal with a Boston natural gas company to convert the university from burning diesel oil to using a "virtual pipeline" natural gas system starting next fall.
The new system will pay for itself in one year, according to Stephen Taksar, the university's vice president for finance and administration.
It will reduce carbon emissions on the campus by 12 percent. That fits with the university's goal of becoming carbon neutral by the year 2050, Taksar said.
"You can't reach a goal like that without reassessing your fuel usage and conservation," Taksar said.
The university is looking at switching to a biomass system or some other alternative in the decades ahead.
"It's a very small upfront cost to adopt a new system, and very few investments like this have a one-year payback," he said.
The numbers are simple: The cost of converting the campus oil burners to a compressed natural gas system is roughly $500,000. The university's savings in burning natural gas will be $500,000 per year.
"It will allow us to reinvest in our students; it's a win-win," he said.
PSU's new system will be unique in the state, Taksar said, in the "virtual pipeline" concept. The compressed gas will be delivered via trucks, and the gas will be burned in the converted oil burners.
The university's contract for the system is with Xpress Natural Gas of Boston.
Plymouth State expects to lower its carbon emissions related to heating fuel by 32 percent, or a projected 2,800 tons of carbon per year. The entire campus is expected to reduce its total carbon footprint and overall carbon emissions by 12 percent.
The PSU central heating plant provides heat and hot water to 42 educational buildings with more than 1.2 million square feet of classroom, residential and office space.
John Nahill, president and CEO of Xpress Natural Gas, said his company is "thrilled to work with Plymouth State as they take a significant step forward using a cleaner, lower-cost fuel that is better for the environment."
"This project is exactly the kind of collaboration we look for with our customers," he said.

BROOKLYN — Even with the lights on, Spooky Nights is spooky.
Gearing up for the second annual Spooky Nights, the Brooklyn Recreation Department has needed a small army of volunteers, the Department of Public Works and weeks of preparation.
"A group of us figured we've put in 2,000 hours, and that's being safe," said Steve Phillips, a volunteer and a member of the town's recreation commission. "By the end of the week, we'll be closer to 3,000 hours."
Spooky Nights will be held Friday and Saturday at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds.
For weeks now, Phillips has hosted groups of volunteers at his home gearing up for the event. Crews have built the large wooden signs that dot many of northeastern Connecticut's most traveled roads. Then they moved on to the actual event, building the backbones of many of the scenes that will be featured.
Phillips, Recreation Director Bucky Lohbusch and volunteers have been at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds since Sunday getting those pre-built pieces in place. Many of the scenes that make up the wagon ride portion of the event are nearly complete.
Lohbusch said there have been 30 to 40 people working on the setup for the event. The actual event will take about 100 volunteers each night to pull off, he said.
Lohbusch said there are eight scenes the wagons will visit. They will then drop visitors off at the Better Living Barn, where the attraction will continue on foot. Inside the barn, there are three scenes, Lohbusch said. But two of those scenes are actually labyrinths with multiple frights in them.
"The whole thing takes about 45 minutes — if you can get through it all," Lohbusch said.
For the visitors who don't want the additional frights of the walk though the Better Living Building, there is an alternate path to the rest of the event. There will also be a child-friendly area and bonfire with food vendors.
Phillips said he and a group of friends recently visited Busch Gardens in Virginia, where the entire park is turned into a Halloween fright fest.
"We stole some of their ideas," Phillips said. "But, we had to try and figure out how to do it on a small budget."
Phillips said the first barn scene, which he and another volunteer mapped out in a very detailed way, has surprises at every level. The plan was partly for safety and partly to ensure every opportunity for a fright was maximized. For visitors, that may just mean the scares will keep coming with every step.
"Last year, a teenager actually went to the bathroom in his pants," Phillips said. "This year, the event is even bigger and better."
Public works employees George Collelo and Ed Brunsdon got a sampling of the frights Wednesday morning when they were the first to arrive at the Better Living Building. Collelo said it was pitch black in the building and with only his flashlight to guide them, he and Brunsdon encountered some surprises.
"I heard this noise, and (Brunsdon) told me to watch where I was going. Next thing I know there's this thing crawling towards me," Collelo said. "It was kind of neat."

As a sign she may be getting serious about selling, Madonna has put her mansion in Beverly Hills up for sale in the Multiple Listing Service at $22.5 million. The property was being shown privately last year as a pocket listing, area real estate agents reported.
During her nearly decade of ownership, the pop icon rebuilt and expanded the estate, completing it in 2010. The gabled-roofed behemoth sits behind gates on 1.17 acres of landscaped grounds. The compound, accessed by a 500-foot tree-lined driveway, includes a nine-bedroom main house, two guesthouses, a resort-size swimming pool and a tennis court. There is a two-story dining room, a gym, a theater/screening room, an art studio, a bar and 17,000 square feet of living space.

Las Vegas EMC Confidential
Off the record, on the QT and very hush-hush
Comment Midnight in Las Vegas and the slots are humming all along the Strip. The girls' dresses are hitched higher than their voices, and through these mean casinos a grifter must go, on the hunt for all the EMC skinny that he knows is out there, before EMC World begins.
Dear readers, we heard things we were not meant to hear, asked questions we were not meant to ask, and got answers, off the record, on the QT and very hush-hush. What do we know?
- A certain Israeli storage inventor with an opinion of himself higher than the Vegas Stratosphere Tower decided one time to build a Symmetrix using Itanium chips. It ran hotter than a Vegas craps' players dice and burned up cooling fans.
- VMware was acquired in order to get more of a customer's IT spend and take it away from the server vendors. Customers would buy VMware, need fewer servers because VMware had consolidated them, and EMC got itself a cash cow, our source said. The server vendors sneered at EMC, saying it wasn't a server vendor. No said EMC, we're not: we're a virtual server vendor. Eat your heart out.
- A mutant ninja turtle wanted to run the whole EMC show but the Godfather was having none of it. According to the storage gossips, Joe Tucci said no to Donatelli and there was a big row. Donatelli then went to HP and the non-compete clause in Joe T's contract was enforced to stop him working on HP storage for a year. Donatelli's old office on Hopkinton executive row was then obliterated when neighbouring office wall partitions were moved to make the remaining execs' offices bigger.
- David Donatelli wanted to be HP's CEO when Mark Hurd left, leaving a crushed, bruised and demoralised HP workforce with R & D slimmed down beyond anorexia. HP chairman Ray Lane, as rumour would have it, would be running the show now if he was 10 years younger. Instead, knowing that software is the key to HP's future, Lane set aside Donatelli's ambition and brought in Leo Apotheker. Now Ray tells Leo what to do and off he goes and does it. Allegedly...
- Fidelma Russo is running EMC's VPLEX development.
- Symmetrix VMAX is going gangbusters and raking in the revenue. It has a quiet role at EMC World but there are hints, dear reader, of dark and promising secrets revealed to NDA-signing serious customers – secrets involving VMware.
- NetApp has a 4-way controller scale-out FAS storage array coming; one bigger than the current top-of-the-line FAS 6000. It is actually a pair of ganged-together dual controller FAS 6000s with a failover arrangement between the pair members. There is a software layer running above the pair, in a virtual server or something like that, which arbitrates access to the four controllers beneath. No way does EMC think this is competition to VMAX which, when all is said and done, is effectively a mainframe.
- In one to two years, Joe Tucci will become EMC chairman and born-again Pat Gelsinger will be CEO, having being groomed by the Godfather. Paul Maritz will stay running VMware and the two will have a partnership like they used to have when Pat was at Intel and Paul at Microsoft – Wintel.
- Data Domain has a globally-deduplicating product version, and the product is running in a certain channel member's data centres. It is waiting for battle-hardening in customer sites before release. The thing could be released in the second half of the year.
It's 4am in the morning, and the slots are falling quiet. The last dice are being rolled on the craps tables and the roulette wheels are spinning to a stop. Tired punters make their way to the elevators and their rooms above, seeking oblivion. But your hustling correspondent never sleeps, peering through the cracks in EMC's walls, bringing you the skinny, off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush. ®

Left winger Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter, the prized players in this year's free-agent market, are taking their sweet time before selecting their teams.
As a result, numerous teams are being held hostage, including the Flyers.
"We're just focused on the two free agents," said one Flyers executive when asked if the team had made any headway in trade talks for Anaheim's Bobby Ryan or Columbus' Rick Nash.
Parise had said he expected to make a decision sometime Monday, but at about 5 p.m. he announced he needed more time to discuss the situation with his family. He may announce his choice on Tuesday.
Suter is also still mulling over his options.
The Flyers have reportedly made 12-year deals to both players for more than $80 million each.
Like the other teams in the free-agent sweepstakes, the Flyers are playing a waiting game and trying to be patient.
They "truly don't know" where they stand with the free agents, said one source close to the situation.
Parise told reporters he needed to feel more comfortable before making his choice.
"It's such a long-term, important decision, you have to make sure you look at everything," he said.
Suter's decision is also holding up Matt Carle's selection. Carle's agent does not want his client to sign until Suter makes his pick. After Suter makes his choice, Carle figures to move up the ranks on some teams' wish lists.
On Twitter, fans were getting impatient.
Tweeted mindofbrian: open heart surgery is done faster than #Parise picking a team. #thisguysisntGretzky.
Tweeted adameagle13: someone tell parise and suter to hurry up. Checking twitter every 2 mins is making me an unproductive employee #parisewatch
Parise's agent issued a statement saying the LW wants to step back and review options with his fiance and his family.
Doan Watch. If the Flyers don't land Parise, they may make a pitch for Phoenix's Shane Doan, a dependable 6-foot-1, 228-pound right winger who scored 22 goals last season.
Doan, who will turn 36 just before the season, will not sign until July 9, by which time it should be known if the Coyotes will stay in Phoenix. His first choice is to sign with Phoenix and spend his 17th season with the team.
Doan has scored at least 20 goals in 11 of the last 12 seasons.
The Flyers are still in the hunt for Jaromir Jagr; the 40-year-old RW is reportedly seeking $4 million per season after making $3.3 million last year.
* * *
Here is how the Flyers may look next season and the gaps they are trying to fill:
Line 1: Hartnell-Giroux-XXXXX.
Line 2: Read-Briere-Simmonds.
Line 3: Talbot-Couturier-Voracek.
Line 4: Rinaldo-B.Schenn-Wellwood
L. Schenn-XXXXXXXX.

No one who runs a cemetery, it seems, wants to accept the body of Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
On Tuesday, Mr. Tsarnaev's family continued its struggle to arrange for a burial. He died April 19 in a gun battle with police.
It's an unusual situation, underscoring that privately run cemeteries are under no obligation to take all comers.
"The whole situation is unprecedented," said David Walkinshaw, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Funeral Directors Association. The state of Massachusetts does not own its own cemeteries, he said, and the federal government has cemeteries only for veterans, thus excluding Tsarnaev.
More on that in a bit. In other recent news related to the marathon bombings:
Victims fund. On Tuesday, the administrator of a fund for victims of the April 15 bombings held a second and final public hearing on how the charitable funds will be dispersed.
With the fund having more than $28 million paid or pledged as of Monday, the largest awards – to individuals or families – will total as much as $1 million or more, says Kenneth Feinberg of the One Fund Boston.
Priority will be given to families of those killed in the attack, as well as people who lost limbs or are diagnosed with permanent brain damage, the attorney said Monday in releasing a draft protocol. Among the factors still to be weighed: whether some funds will go to people whose injuries did not result in spending a night or more in a hospital, and whether payments will be "means-tested," such as by giving larger amounts to people who lack insurance.
The fund is receiving contributions from donors around the world – including proceeds from a benefit concert in Boston May 30.
July 4 previously a target. The surviving suspected Boston bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, told interrogators that he and his brother considered setting off their bombs on July 4, then shifted their plans to the earlier date of the Boston Marathon, US officials have said.
The Fourth of July holiday is especially big in Boston, when throngs of people line the Charles River for a fireworks show (accompanied by Boston Pops music) that is nationally televised.
How bombs were made. Some investigators believe the bomb designs came at least partly from an article titled "How to build a bomb in the kitchen of your mom," published a couple of years ago by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's Inspire magazine. It was also republished earlier this year in a glossy brochure entitled the "Lone Mujahid Pocketbook."
College-friend suspect out on bail. A 19-year-old Massachusetts resident accused of lying to federal investigators was freed on $100,000 bail Monday.
Robel Phillipos, a friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, will be under the custody of his mother and must wear a GPS ankle bracelet, US Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler ordered in federal court in Boston.
In addition to Mr. Phillipos, two other friends are charged with efforts to impede the investigation – including removing a backpack of evidence from Tsarnaev's dorm room after they knew their friend was wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
NRA's perspective. National Rifle Association chief executive Wayne LaPierre argued Saturday that the bombing aftermath pointed to the virtues of law-abiding citizens owning guns.
"How many Bostonians wished they had a gun two weeks ago?" Mr. LaPierre asked in a speech at the NRA annual convention in Houston.
Referring to a day-long manhunt when the younger Tsarnaev was believed to be armed and seeking to escape capture, LaPierre said that "residents were imprisoned behind the locked doors of their own home, a terrorist with bombs and guns just outside."
Some others say the Boston events make the case for tighter control of firearms, citing news reports alleging that Tamerlan Tsarnaev used an unregistered gun to kill one police officer and shoot at others.
Quest for burial. More than 100 people in the United States and Canada have offered burial plots for the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, said Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan. But officials in the cities and towns where the sites are located have said no.
The city manager in Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived, has urged his family not to ask to have him buried there because the attention would make it difficult for residents trying to get back to their lives.
Tsarnaev's mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, told The Associated Press in a phone interview that she wants to bury Tamerlan in her native Dagestan, but that Russia is not allowing her to bring back the body.

Health impacts secondary to the impacts of climate change on ecological and
social systems should include changes in the occurrence of vector-borne infectious
diseases in temperate and tropical Asia (see Chapter 9).
The distribution of diseases such as malaria is influenced by the spread of
vectors and the climate dependence of infectious pathogens (Hales et al., 1996;
McMichael et al., 1996; Epstein et al., 1998). In recent years, the resistance
of anopheline mosquito to pesticides and of malaria parasites to chloroquine
has affected eradication activities (Trigg and Kondrachina, 1998). Malaria still
is one of the most important diseases in countries in tropical Asia such as
India (Bouma et al., 1994; Akhtar and McMichael, 1996; Mukhopadhyay et al.,
1997), Bangladesh, Sri Lanka (Bouma and Van der Kaay, 1996; Gunawardena et al.,
1998), Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia (Rahman et al., 1997), Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam
(Hien et al., 1997), Indonesia (Fryauff et al., 1997), Papua New Guinea (Genton
et al., 1998), and Yunnan, China (Jiao et al., 1997; Xu and Liu, 1997) as a
result of the presence of the mosquito vectors and the lack of effective control.
With a rise in surface temperature and changes in rainfall patterns, the distribution
of vectors such as mosquito species may change (Patz and Martens, 1996; Reiter,
1998). Changes in environmental temperature and precipitation could expand vector-borne
diseases into temperate and arid Asia. The spread of vector-borne diseases into
more northern latitudes may pose a serious threat to human health. Climate change
is likely to have principal impacts on epidemics of malaria, dengue, and other
vector-borne diseases in Asia (Martens et al., 1999). The epidemic areas of
vector-borne diseases in Asia would depend on many demographic and societal
factors, as well as environmental hygiene for vector control, available health
infrastructure, and medical facilities (see also Chapter 9).
Depletion of stratospheric ozone that normally filters out ultraviolet radiation
in sunlight in the region from 280 to 320 nm (the UV-B region) has been linked
to widespread use of volatile halogenated organic compounds, particularly chlorinated
and brominated methanes and chlorofluorocarbons. Some of these compounds also
are effective GHGs and therefore contribute to global warming as well. The quantitative
relationship between UV-B dose and its physiological effect varies with the
wavelength of UV-B exposure (Ilyas et al., 1999). These effects include melanoma
and non-melanoma skin cancers, cataracts and other ocular diseases, and dysfunction
of the systemic and cutaneous immune systems (Kripke, 1994). The known effects
of UV-B on the eye include inflammatory reactions from acute exposure, snow
blindness (photo-kerato-conjunctivitis), and long-term damage to the cornea
and lens (cataracts) from chronic exposure. It has been demonstrated that damage
to melanocytes in human skin initiates the progression of changes leading to
melanoma skin cancer (Kripke, 1994). Suppression of the immune response by UV-B
radiation involves damage to Langerhans cells and subsequent activation of T-lymphocytes,
thus increasing the severity of certain infectious diseases.
The impacts of greater exposure to shorter wavelength UV radiation on human
health are cumulative and, for some effects, may have long latencies. Noticeable
increases in UV-B radiation over high and mid-latitudes as a result of depletion
of stratospheric ozone have occurred in recent decades (Mckenzie et al., 1999;
WMO, 1999; ACIA, 2000). Climate change could make conditions for the spread
of diseases associated with higher UV-B doses more favorable.

This is a response from the Lower Peninsula Deer Management Initiative in Michigan in response to an opinion column by Richard Smith in the October issue of Deer & Deer Hunting. Smith lives in Michigan and is a longtime hunter and contributor to DDH.
Dan Schmidt, Editor
August 8th 2013
Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine
Dear Mr. Schmidt:
We are the Lower Peninsula Deer Management Initiative (LPDMI), sponsors of Antler Point Restriction (APR) proposals that are currently under consideration by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) for implementation in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. We are a grass roots organization composed of Michigan hunters, and are not affiliated with the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA). In fact, though some of us are members, several are not.
We are writing with regard to a recent opinion piece published in the September 2013 issue of Deer and Deer Hunting. The author, Richard P. Smith, is guilty of so many factual and conceptual errors in the article "Were we Betrayed?" that it is hard to know where to start. We will limit our response here mainly to his comments about antler point restrictions in Leelanau County Michigan.
Smith said, "Leelanau County is also in the northwestern Lower Peninsula and 2012 marked its 10th year under quality deer management regulations. Results there were supposed to serve as an example of why the rules should be expanded to 12 more counties in the region. DNR data does not indicate the regulations were a success, however…" Later he stated, "I've made repeated requests to the wildlife division since January for buck harvest data for Leelanau County before quality deer management rules went into effect to compare with those after 2003 and have not received that information."
As a matter of fact, the information Smith claims he was not able to obtain has been widely disseminated in Michigan. The LPDMI has conducted 14 public information meetings regarding our proposal as mandated by the MDNR and the NRC. In each of those meetings, in thousands of posters, tens of thousands of brochures, on our website, and in our Facebook page, we detailed the buck harvest results of APRs in Leelanau County. This includes both pre-APR and post-APR data collected and reported by the MDNR. Moreover, the sponsoring group for the recently implemented and 12 county proposal mentioned in Smith's article also provided Leelanau County data. Everything presented was derived from published MDNR data, and all LPDMI public information meeting presentations were reviewed by MDNR biologists.
Buck harvest data is readily available for the three years prior to implementation of APR's in Leelanau County. Each year the DNR publishes a report, available to the public, detailing the results of the annual check station data. In the three years prior to implementation of APRs in Leelanau County, 67% of antlered bucks brought in to check stations were yearlings. Averaged over the five years from 2007-‐2011 that number has dropped to 27%. Harvest of bucks 3 1/2 years and older has risen from 13% before APR's to 44 % after APR's (figure 1). In comparison, yearling buck harvest in the Northern and Southern Lower Peninsula averaged 58% and 67% respectively during the same five-‐year period.
Leelanau County harvests the highest percentage of 8 point and larger bucks in the state, by a wide margin. Prior to APRs, only 34% of the check station bucks in Leelanau County had eight points or more. Averaging over the five years from 2007-2011, that number has risen to 61%. Compare that to 34% in the Upper Peninsula, 25% in the rest of the Northern Lower Peninsula, and 36% in the Southern Lower Peninsula. That's right, a county in a northern region with sandy acidic soils and average snowfalls of 120-140 inches per year harvests more 8 point and larger bucks than the agriculturally rich southern part of the state. All of this information has been widely distributed in Michigan and is readily available to any journalist who would genuinely like to see it.
What did hunters have to sacrifice for this? APRs were introduced in Leelanau County in 2003. In 2001 and 2002, Hunter success (bucks per hunter) was 21% and 23% respectively. That number fell to 15% during the first season (2003). Following that the buck harvest rate was 21% or higher in eight of nine subsequent seasons (range from 19% to 38%). Ultimately, hunters had to sacrifice only one season of reduced buck harvest (figure 2).
It is no surprise that when hunters were surveyed after five years of antler point restrictions in 2008, 72% of respondents were in favor of continuing them. Nor is it a surprise that 68.5% of hunters from the surrounding 12 counties were in favor of adopting APR regulations when surveyed in 2012. The data on buck harvest in Leelanau County both before and after APR implementation had been widely distributed among hunters in the 12 expansion counties, contrary to Smith's protestation that they were unavailable.
Smith further discusses the "underharvest of antlerless deer [in Leelanau County], along with corresponding increases in deer collisions and crop damage.' The implication is that APRs had something to do with an increase in the deer population in Leelanau County. Smith fails to point out that in the two years prior to implementation of APRs, the antlerless tag quota in Leelanau County was 1250 and 1000, respectively. In 2003, the first year of APRs, that number fell to 700. During the last six seasons, it has hovered between 200 and 400 antlerless permits per year. It is this substantial decrease in the availability of antlerless permits that has likely led to increased population levels in Leelanau County. The DNR has recently responded to this issue by increasing the availability of antlerless permits in Leelanau County to 1400 for the 2013 seasons.
It is a well-known fact that population control is a function of antlerless harvest, not antlered buck harvest. The overpopulation of deer in Leelanau County is a direct result of inadequate antlerless harvest quotas.
Given his fervent opposition to antler point restrictions in Michigan, it is not surprising that Smith does not like to discuss the readily available data highlighting both the striking improvement in the age structure of bucks and the high level of support among hunters for the existing APR's in Leelanau County. His claim that buck harvest data was not available prior to institution of APR's in Leelanau County is overtly disingenuous, as is his premise that antler point restrictions led to increased deer populations in Leelanau County. Like many anti-APR activists in Michigan, Smith chooses to ignore the data showing the outstanding results in Leelanau County, and instead focus his efforts on nuances about the process, and accusations of impropriety against the Michigan DNR. This includes his uncontested, unsupported accusations of a "cover-up" by the Michigan DNR and Natural Resources Commission on Mike Avery's "Outdoor Magazine" radio program on July 27th, 2013.
There were many other errors, misinterpretations of data, or outright misleading statements in Smith's article. For example, in his list of purported "pitfalls" of mandatory APRs, under #5 he says, "In the UP, 15% of 1.5 year old bucks have fewer than three points on an antler, and about 8% of 5 1/2 year old bucks fall into that category." He includes a figure on the top of page 106 to support this statement. The only problem is, he is dead wrong. The figure does not reveal how many points are on an antler. It is taken from a report published by the Michigan DNR in 2012 called "Evaluation of Upper Peninsula Buck management options." The figure records the total number of points on a buck's entire rack, not the number of points on an antler. For example, a buck missing one beam that had 4 points on the remaining antler would be cited by Smith as having fewer than 3 points on one antler. He does not even understand the only bona fide data from a citable source that he included?
This is just one example of the many additional errors he made.
In his "pitfall number 13", he says, "Voluntary antler point restrictions can be as effective as mandatory rules with education." Ignoring the fact that this can hardly be considered a "pitfall", the degree of internal inconsistency it reveals is incredible. Smith is widely known to support voluntary, but not mandatory APRs. He says in item 13 that they both achieve the same thing. If so, then most of the other 19 "pitfalls" apply to voluntary, as well as mandatory APRs. It makes no rational sense for him to be in favor of voluntary APRs if he really believes in the "pitfalls" he lists, which are in essence an indictment of any successful APR program. We submit that he is in favor of voluntary APRs only because he believes they do not work. If Smith were to state he just does not want to be told what to shoot, we would have no reason to protest his comments. However, he clearly goes down a different path that not only contradicts itself, but also perpetuates many scientifically disproven myths.
We note, with great disappointment, that there did not appear to be a genuine attempt to gather input from us, from the local sponsoring group for the 12 county proposal, or even from the Michigan DNR (the biggest target of Smith's diatribe). Instead you chose to interview a national representative from QDMA. Although some of us know him personally and have great admiration for the editor of Quality Whitetails magazine, he has not been directly involved in any of the proposals or privy to the specifics of the Michigan process.
Putting the header "Opinion" above the piece hardly absolves Deer and Deer Hunting of the journalistic responsibility to ensure that at least some of the author's points have merit. The timing is such that the piece came out less than 6 weeks before the Lower Peninsula APR hunter support survey will be sent out by the MDNR on the 15th of September. Michigan hunters deserve better than a last minute, one-sided 6- page diatribe from an anti-APR zealot. Insult was added to injury when Ted Nugent, who long ago renounced his Michigan residency to move to Texas, was given a page to pile on with an anti-‐APR rant, while no-one directly involved in the process from Michigan was asked to provide a counter-point.
Attached is a preprint of an article about Leelanau county, entitled "The Best Deer Hunting County in Michigan" authored by LPDMI member Dr. Jim Brauker, which will appear in the next edition of Woods-‐N-Waters News. We are requesting that Deer and Deer Hunting magazine make a concerted effort to publish the information about our current initiative prior to the September survey date. As subscribers and/or readers of your highly respected publication, we expect a balanced and factual debate on the important issues affecting the whitetail world, and not just a sensationalistic narrow view from celebrity contributors.
Respectfully Yours,
The Lower Peninsula Deer Management Initiative
