INDEPENDENCE — The Grayson County Sheriff's Department is searching for a man they characterize as a potentially dangerous fugitive. On March 7, the department issued an alert for Randy Lee Anders, warning that the "subject is possibly armed with a shotgun and a knife and has made threats toward law enforcement."
Grayson Chief Deputy Tim Sawyer said Anders is wanted for a parole violation. Sawyer said the exact nature of Anders' parole violation was not listed on paperwork, but the parole stems from his conviction on a felony charge of breaking and entering with intent to commit assault and battery.
A poster issued by the sheriff's department lists Anders' last known address as 2264 Grassy Creek Road in Mouth of Wilson.
Sawyer said his last known location was around the North Carolina border.
Sawyer noted that the area Anders is believed to be in is remote, and he said Friday he worries about the safety of officers sent to arrest him.
"We would love to take him off the road, given that he has made statements threatening police. We have to take that seriously."
• Anyone with information about Anders is urged to call the Grayson County Sheriff's Department at 1-800-782-7764.

About William French Smith
William French Smith served as U.S. Attorney General from 1981 to 1985. A longtime friend and confidant of President Ronald Reagan, Bill Smith helped formulate the vital policies that came to be identified with the Reagan administration.
Bill Smith was born on August 26, 1917, in Wilton, New Hampshire. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1939 and from the Harvard Law School in 1942. From 1942 to 1946, he served in the U.S. Navy Reserve, reaching the rank of lieutenant.
In 1946, Bill Smith joined the Los Angeles law firm of Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher, where he specialized in labor law. He eventually became head of the firm's labor department. Bill enjoyed a reputation as a tough but flexible negotiator. He was a member of a small group of southern California business leaders who urged Ronald Reagan to run for governor in 1966. After Governor Reagan was elected, Bill Smith served as his personal lawyer and a close adviser. In 1968, Governor Reagan appointed him to the University of California Board of Regents. He later served three terms as chairman.
The future Attorney General's wide-ranging activities included service as a director of the Pacific Lighting Corporation, the Jorgensen Steel Company, Pullman, Inc., RCA, and Crocker National Bank. Bill served on numerous non-profit boards, including: the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles; the
U.S. Advisory Commission on International, Educational and Cultural Affairs; the Los Angeles World Affairs Council; the Los Angeles Committee on Foreign Relations; Harvard University; Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies; the American Judicature Society; and as Chairman of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation. Bill was instrumental in locating the present site for the Reagan Presidential Library.
When Governor Reagan was elected president in 1980, one of his first appointments was Bill Smith as the 74th Attorney General of the United States. During his tenure, Bill Smith was instrumental in the appointment of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was also responsible for developing a more economically sensible antitrust policy, including mergers and acquisitions, and he pursued a strong anticrime initiative, increasing the resources used to fight the distribution and sale of illegal narcotics by 100 percent. Furthermore, he successfully lobbied for the establishment of a commission to create new federal sentencing guidelines.
In January 1984, Smith announced his resignation in order to work on President Reagan's reelection campaign and to return to private life.
Smith died on October 29, 1990, in Los Angeles, and is survived by his wife, Jean Smith. His children all live in California and two of his grandchildren graduated from Pepperdine University's Seaver College.
Bill Smith is remembered as a quiet, yet effective statesman. In the words of National Review, "Smith seldom spoke, but when he did, he was always worth hearing. No one had an ill word to say about him, so great was his decency - the quality he had most in common, perhaps, with the man he served so long."

Somewhere in the past, someone in Florida decided not to hold city elections on Election Day. So here we are, just a few weeks after the presidential primary election, ready to hold a city election next Tuesday.
There are a couple of issues on the ballot. One has to do with economic growth, which would allow tax exemptions to entice businesses to move here.
It's a necessary evil, given the competitive climate throughout the state of communities that want the jobs that go with new industry and/or business.
Children Die Playing the "Choking Game"
For the first time, the federal government has counted the number of youths who have died from the so-called "choking game" and discovered at least 82 deaths.
Hospice of the Nature Coast is proud to be a member of the north central Florida community. Indeed, from the moment we began serving this area, your welcome couldn't have been filled with more warmth as the citizens of north central Florida recognize they now have a choice when it comes to the hospice and palliative care they wish to receive.
Holiday Hope wants to thank all our citizens, businesses, organizations, students and medical personnel for the help extended to us in 2007.
Once again, with your help, we were able to see that approximately 350 local children had a Merry Christmas.
This task could not have been achieved without your kindness, and willingness to become involved with helping children in our community. You are definitely the key to our success.
Once again, thank you.
Jean Bain
Holiday Hope, Inc., president
You can have a lot of fun on Northwest First Avenue these days, watching people perform what has become a forgotten art: parallel parking.
In its infinite wisdom, the city came along and authorized removal of all angle parking in front of the Williston Pioneer Sun News office and alongside City Hall. No action has been taken on the angle parking in front of the post office yet.
The first people to get those spaces can easily coast in, as long as the first car moves all the way up to the front and then the spaces are filled in behind them.
Listen, carefully. I'm a member of the Audubon Society. I believe in the protection of birds. That's why I'm deeply offended by the nickname, Bronson Eagles. I demand that it be changed.
Sound absurd? Of course it does. And I'm not really in the Audubon Society, although I did have a couple of parakeets when I was growing up.
Worrying about school nicknames is, to me, a waste of time. There are far more important things to be concerned about.
PAYING FOR ACCIDENTS: A few weeks ago we had an interesting discussion in Williston about having accident victims pay for the cost of having police answer the calls. That drew a large outcry from city folks who say they already pay through taxes, and also from those who might not be at fault in the accidents.
Last week out of the Ocala City Council meeting came a plan that addresses both of those concerns.
Ocala is working with the company Cost Recovery to recover the costs of police response to accidents, taking into account the complaints listed above.
I was born and raised in Williston; I graduated in 1981 and soon after I joined the United States Marine Corps. I served 23 years, retiring in 2003; during that time I visited family and friends when the opportunity arose or when unexpected sad occasions happened.
This particular visit was because of the death of my sister, whom we all know as Diane. I mentioned this because it was the death of my sister that brought me back to Williston to raise several questions.
To our readers and advertisers:
The recent announcement by Landmark Communications Inc., the parent company of our newspaper, to consider strategic alternatives that might include the sale of this newspaper and others was made Jan. 3. The original announcement appeared on the Pioneer Web site at about noon on that date.
This is something I've been wanting to propose for a long time, but have held off because we had an incumbent elected school superintendent.
Now that Cliff Norris has declared his intention not to run for re-election, it's time to look at the advantages of having an appointed, rather than elected, superintendent.
There was an old song called Sidewalks of New York. It started out "East side, west side, all around the town."
Right now we feel like we're in a show called the Sidewalks of Williston.
About a month ago some workers came along and put down a sidewalk all the way along Northwest First Avenue.
The block in front of our building was the final step.
Just a few weeks ago, I wrote what a good time I had at the Levy County Fair.
That really hasn't changed, but a few revelations about the financial condition of the Fair have put a new spin on things.
Forget the legal problems; they should clear up. It's the fact that the Fair is in the red that should concern people, especially local governments.
By the way, if you pledged money to the Fair Association to help with expenses, and you haven't lived up to you pledge, please do so. But that's another matter.
Just a little update. Thanks to the editorial you ran in the paper a few weeks back on the 18 Arabian horses rescued in Alachua County, I have received the following letter from the Sheriff's Department stating that they agree that their current policies were lacking in matters of animal abuse cases. They have confirmed that after reviewing my letters and being persistent in what transpired with these horses, they have rewritten the policy on the handling of animal abuse cases.
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the lack of Christmas lit homes this year?
After the fiasco with the electric bills, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
Christmas is not about the lights, but they do bring holiday cheer.
Who doesn't enjoy driving around and admiring the light displays that people work so hard on?
This year is different though. Combining the two blocks in our neighborhood, only two homes have lights and decorations. Out of 24 homes. Only TWO!!!
When you get a little older, the years just seem to fly by.
That's the case for me, as I find it hard to believe that it's almost 2008. Growing up, I can remember when a book like 1984 and a movie such as 2001: A Space Odyssey were science fiction.
Now, a lot of the "Big Brother" mentality in 1984 is surfacing, and we have people wandering around space as if it were their own back yards.
I'd rather stick to the problems here on Earth as we head into the new year, and not worry about asteroids striking Mars or other such things.
On behalf of the GFWC Williston Junior Woman's Club I would like to thank the Williston community for their overwhelming support of this year's Christmas Parade and Light Up Williston. The Junior Woman's Club has sponsored the Christmas Parade for many years and this year we also sponsored the Light Up Williston festivities. Our club feels these events bring joy to many in the area and are worthy of our support.
I would like to thank Ryan's Deli for donating to the Sunshine Group Home their extra bread. Ryan's Deli is located on Main Street, great place to eat. Welcome Ryan's to Williston.
Sunshine Group Home for mentally challenged. It is a ALF home.
This home is located at 719 N. Main St.. They accept any donations, of food, clothes,Christmas gifts for the residents. Come on Williston, show that you care.
Barbara Allen
We're soon to arrive in 2008, which is a presidential year.
You could have fooled me. I thought the election has been going on for more than a year already.
Things change so fast you can ignore, or forget, what is past. What would your reaction have been if six months ago I told you that Mike Huckabee was a front-runner in Iowa among Republicans?
Letter to the editor
We had been open for business for less than a week, hardly prepared for Nov. 19, when Kathleen, a financially strapped, lovely young mother of two young children, walked through our door with an emaciated, gaunt dog and a box full of faint whimpering noises. Three weeks ago, Kathleen started caring for a stray dog hanging around the house which now had eight puppies barely clinging to life due to malnutrition, dehydration, fleas, worms and ticks among other problems.
I have read Cheri McDemott's letter on the 18 Arabians that were removed from their life of neglect and abuse from their owners and sent back to hell. What kind of animal protection laws is this legal system enforcing?

Boston, MA -- More than 230,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year in the United States, but determining their course of treatment remains a source of considerable debate. A new study by researchers from Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden, Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and colleagues--which draws from one of the few randomized trials conducted to directly address this issue--finds a substantial long-term reduction in mortality for men with localized cancer who undergo a radical prostatectomy. While the benefit on mortality appears to be limited to men less than age 65, surgery did reduce the risk of metastases and need for additional treatment in older men.
The article appears in the March 6, 2014 edition of New England Journal of Medicine.
The researchers used data from the Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group Study Number 4, which randomized 695 men with early prostate cancer to treatment with surgery or watchful waiting with no initial treatment, with follow-up for up to 24 years. Over the course of the study, 200 of 347 men in the surgery group and 247 of the 348 men in the watchful waiting group died. Of the deaths, 63 in the surgery group and 99 in the watchful waiting group were due to prostate cancer.
"The latest results from the SPCG-4 trial indicate that surgery can not only improve survival, especially in men diagnosed at a younger age or with intermediate-risk disease, but also that surgery can reduce the burden of disease in terms of development of metastases and the need for palliative treatment," said co-author Jennifer Rider, assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology at HSPH and assistant professor of medicine, Channing Division of Network Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital. "However, a large proportion of men in the trial still alive at 18 years did not require initial surgery or any subsequent therapy, pointing to the potential benefits of active surveillance strategies to limit overtreatment."

Rider, Kimmo Taari, Christer Busch, Stig Nordling, Michael Häggman, Swen-Olof Andersson, Anders Spångberg, Ove Andrén, Juni Palmgren, Gunnar Steineck, Hans-Olov Adami, Jan-Erik Johansson, New England Journal of Medicine, 370;10, March 6, 2014.

Sub-Saharan Africa, the portion of Africa that runs from the Sahara Desert to the Cape of Good Hope at Africa's southern tip, is more heavily affected by HIV and AIDS than is any other region of the world. In South Africa alone, 17.8 percent of the people have HIV. There were an estimated 22.9 million people living with HIV and 1.2 million deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2010.
Against the backdrop of this harsh reality, FDA has played a critical role in helping to ensure the availability of high quality, safe, and effective treatment therapies. The agency has approved or tentatively approved applications for 155 antiretroviral drugs from Dec.3, 2004 to Nov. 8, 2012, thereby making them available for use as part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR. This program, begun in 2004, is the U.S.government's commitment to support HIV/AIDS treatment for millions of people around the world.
It is clear that the supply of medications to treat HIV/AIDS in Africa must be increased. One necessary way to address delayed access to medications is to bolster the expertise of African regulators so that they can conduct timely reviews of drug applications. After all, the FDA approval or tentative approval is just one step. Then the therapies must be registered (or approved) by competent drug regulatory authorities in the countries of use.
Some resource-constrained low and middle income African countries have lacked sufficient expertise to conduct registrations efficiently. Focusing on generic drugs will be particularly important there, because generics are less expensive than the brand name products.
Recently, as part of a longstanding PEPFAR mandate for FDA to provide drug registration training for African regulators, the agency had the opportunity to spearhead and provide such training.
Let me share with you what we accomplished. FDA, in collaboration with the Kilimanjaro School of Pharmacy and Purdue and Howard universities, provided a five-day course on the review of generic drug applications and PEPFAR drug reviews.
Thirty-seven regulators and academicians from 17 African countries participated. This first-of-its-kind training, held in Moshi, Tanzania, was aimed at enabling regulators and pharmaceutical school faculty to familiarize themselves with regulatory and scientific methods applied by FDA.
The most exciting, complementary aspect of the training was to introduce the value of integrating regulatory science training into the curricula of schools of pharmacy and other academic institutions in Africa.
FDA and its partners believe that this training course can eventually be turned into a teaching module for use in academic curricula throughout Africa. Such curricula can support a cadre of regulatory affairs professionals to work in government agencies. This would further the availability and the manufacture of quality, safe and effective drug products for the African population.
If we can contribute to a global curricula for regulators, what a legacy that would be, for both PEPFAR and FDA!

I have a big problem in my app.
Many times I create a displaylist, the following function allocated approx. 260KB!
I figured this out by checking the memory consumption right before and after the function with GlobalMemoryStatus().Code:glNewList((UINT)this,GL_COMPILE);
Important: there is no other function between the GlobalMemoryStatus-call.
It is only the call to "glNewList".
This leads to a secure problem: after creation of 1000 displaylists, it can be possible, that 1000x 260KB are allocated.
Any ideas?
How can I release the memory?

Ex-West medic freed pending pipe bomb trial
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — A former Central Texas paramedic has been released on bond pending trial on a federal charge that he possessed pipe bomb materials.
A federal magistrate set a $25,000 bond Thursday for Bryce Ashley Reed. The 31-year-old former West paramedic's trial is set for Sept. 23 in federal court in Waco.
Reed was arrested shortly after an April 17 fertilizer plant explosion in West that killed 15 people, injured hundreds and devastated much of the small town near Waco. McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna told the Waco Tribune-Herald two weeks ago, however, that Texas Rangers have turned up no evidence linking Reed to the plant fire and explosion.
Reed recently completed a court-ordered mental evaluation.

Did Kanye West Skip White House Gala Because Of Obama Diss?
Kanye and girlfriend Kim Kardashian are inseparable lately, so we were shocked when he wasn't on her arm at the White House Correspondents Dinner! Does Kanye have a major beef with the President?
Kanye West seems tough on the outside, but he may have taken President Obama's "jackass" insults to heart! He missed out on a glamourous date night with Kim Kardashian, 31, when she brought mom Kris Jenner to the April 28 White House Correspondents Dinner instead of him.
Barack Obama, 50, has called Kanye a "jackass," not once, but TWICE, and we think the rapper, 34, was avoiding giving the Prez an opportunity to insult him in person!
Obama first slung mud at Kanye after he infamously stole the mic from Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and then defended his opinion of the rapper in the May issue of The Atlantic.
"He is a jackass," the President said. "But he's talented."
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did Kanye skip the dinner because President Obama called him a jackass?

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — The death toll from floods in Indonesia's capital has climbed to 14 after searchers pulled three more bodies from the waters.
Indonesia's national disaster management agency said Saturday that the body of a 35-year-old member of the city's search and rescue team was found on the banks of an overflowing river late Friday. Another man was found dead near his flooded home in western Jakarta.
The third body of a male worker was found Saturday in the flooded basement parking of a building in central Jakarta.
The agency said most victims were electrocuted or drowned. Electricity supplies have been cut to several flooding areas to prevent electrocutions.
A dike in central Jakarta collapsed late Wednesday amid floods that swamped Jakarta. Successive governments have done little to mitigate the flooding threat.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Officials in New York, New Jersey and other states hit hard by the powerful storm Sandy are anxiously waiting to see when power will be restored in darkened areas and whether polling sites may need to be moved for next Tuesday's presidential election.
"We're open for business November 6. That will be Election Day," said John Conklin, spokesman for the New York state Board of Elections. "We're doing everything we can to make sure that everyone who goes to the polls will have a poll site to go to."
That is the big question - where the voters will go to cast their ballots, particularly in parts of New York City and New Jersey that remain crippled from Sandy, which ravaged parts of the northeastern United States on Monday night.
Much of the lower half of Manhattan is still without power. Nearby areas, including the New York City borough of Staten Island, the New Jersey shore and the city of Hoboken, New Jersey, are struggling to recover from flooding and storm-related damage.
Conklin said the local election boards in the areas hit hardest by the storm are assessing all their polling sites to decide which ones will be up and running by Tuesday's election.
Power companies have been asked to prioritize getting electricity back to election sites after first restoring power to crucial places like hospitals.
Election officials in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are evaluating polling sites to see if the buildings are safe and if they are accessible to the public as well as to the election boards that must deliver voting machines.
Voting in New York and Connecticut could take place without electricity if necessary. They both use "optical scan" ballots that are filled out by hand and then scanned through a machine to get counted, election officials said.
The scanning machines can operate on battery power. If that runs out, the ballots could be placed in a locked box and at the end of the voting day could be transported to a site with electricity and run through the scanner to be counted, officials said.
Inaccessible polling sites may need to be consolidated or moved to other nearby locations. In some areas, like in the New York City borough of Queens where fire destroyed many buildings, a tent may need to be set up as a temporary voting location, Conklin said.
Conklin said polling sites may not be open in every voting precinct but will be open in as many as possible. "If you have to move a site, you don't want to move it too far because you don't want to disenfranchise people," Conklin said.
William Biamonte, the Democratic commissioner for the Nassau County Board of Elections on New York's Long Island, said he is worried about equipment, poll workers and votes.
"I think it's going to affect voter turnout no matter," Biamonte said. "Peoples' homes were destroyed."
Of the county's 375 polling sites, less than half are ready to go, Biamonte said, and others are either without power, operating on generators or have not been in contact.
He said that while voting can be done without electricity, it could delay the counting and could also be dangerous for poll workers, who tend to be elderly, and voters if they are coming to cast a ballot in darkness.
Biamonte said that while the state has promised generators to provide electricity, the county does not have the staff to properly install them.
New York state extended its absentee ballot application deadline until Friday and extended the deadline for absentee ballots to be received and counted by six days, until November 19.
Connecticut extended voter registration by two days until Thursday. Secretary of State Denise Merrill said up to 95 polling locations are without power, but said the utility companies are trying to restore electricity as soon as possible.
"We will be ready to vote next Tuesday no matter what, and the preferences would be not to move or consolidate any polling locations unless absolutely necessary," Merrill said in a statement.
In New Jersey, where entire oceanside neighborhoods were flooded, authorities are focused more on public safety than elections.
"I'd like to have the polling places powered up for next Tuesday. I'm not yet to the point where I know whether we're going to be able to do that or we're not going to be able to do that," New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said in a briefing on Wednesday, noting that his top priority is restoring power and clean water to residents.
Christie said his administration would be coming up with contingency plans for polling sites that may not have power, but vowed to be ready for Election Day.
Joseph Parisi, the mayor of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, said some voting locations there and in Bergen County may have to be relocated due to lack of power and flooding.
In Pennsylvania, where hundreds of thousands of people remained without power, utility companies hope to get the electricity back for Election Day.
"I don't want to be overly optimistic but I do think we'll be close to having all of our polling places up and running by Election Day," said Frank Custer, a spokesman of Montgomery County, near Philadelphia.

Re: Age of Consent topic
Thank you for starting a thread on this topic Tim. Gnu Ordure directed a question at me yesterday on another thread, challenging me by citing younger ages of consent in a variety of European countries, and suggesting that I am subjected to a cultural bias. I don't think he will mind if I address his questions here, because I agree that this topic is worthy of its own thread.
As I stated in a previous thread, my concerns about the sexual exploitation of children have to do with power imbalances. There is often a huge disconnect between laws and practices, and the realities are often much to complicated to be addressed via legislation or executive dictate. Sexual exploitation of children is certainly a problem worldwide, and it exists in all nations, regardless of legal age of consent. However, because I believe that the sexual abuse of children is much more prevalent in societies that have intrinsic power imbalances.
@ Gnu Ordure - I don't pretend to know a lot about Scandinavia, other than the countries are extraordinarily egalitarian, with strong social structures, exceptional education, exceptional access to health care, and low degrees of disparity between the wealthiest and lowest income residents. My understanding is that there are very healthy sexual attitudes, with laws that offer both exceptional freedom coupled with strong protections.
Spain? I don't know for sure, but I would suspect that many of the current laws are leftover from the Franco years.
There are some countries that I know a little bit more about. Guatemala, for example. In Guatemala, anywhere between 21% and 29% of children between that ages of 7-14 are in the workforce. For those of you not familiar with Guatemala, there continues to exist a semi-apartheid system, with a huge Mayan subclass, and a small ruling class of European ancestry. About 8% of Mayan girls are lucky enough to land a job as a domestic worker, freeing them from the toils of following the crop harvests or exposure to dangerous conditions in factories. They get to live in houses with running water, solid roofs, and sometimes even get to sleep in a bed as opposed to the traditional hammock or mat. They get rice and beans and those thick, Guatemalan tortillas, sometimes several times a day, as well as kitchen scraps and leftovers from their patron's table.
There are no statistics about sexual abuse of domestic workers in Guatemala, (that I know of) but I can say with absolute certainty that the majority of 9 or 10 year old girls who put in the normal 3-4 years in a household will not leave as virgins. The typical scenario would be the male head of the household. But it could be the teenage son. Or a dinner guest. Or even a male domestic worker who is higher in the pecking order. It is about power.
Afghanistan has a really different social system, and very different sexual standards and practices. Although the legal age of consent (marriageable age) is 16 for girls, between 60%-70% of girls are married before 16. The numbers are higher in the tribal regions. Because virgins are commodities, girls rarely marry the farmer boy next door. The typical marriage is arranged, and young virgins are given in marriage to pay off debts or solidify alliances between extended families, usually to much older, established men. Wealthy Afghan men have other socially acceptable sexual options available to them during those times that their wives are pregnant or menstruating or once they get too old to be interesting. Bachi bazi
are prepubescent boys who are bought and sold and traded to friends for entertainment and sexual purposes. It is about power.
Raising several legitimate concerns.

Grant aims to keep bugs out of city apartmentsBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 07. 2012 12:49AM
MANCHESTER - Some 25 low-income households will participate in workshops about a holistic approach to fighting cockroaches and bedbugs as part of a $25,000 federal grant that has been awarded to a local social-service agency, the Environmental Protection Agency said.
The Way Home, a Manchester organization that promotes proper housing in Manchester, plans to run workshops that involve landlords and their maintenance team, tenants and a pest management company.
The technique mirrors a program developed by Boston Public Housing.
Rick Castillo, housing counselor for the Way Home, said tenants will be taught proper techniques for discouraging pest infestation. That includes proper post-meal cleanup and food storage, and avoiding clutter. Landlords will learn about pest behavior and the proper times and places to spray.
"When everybody understands their role and fully participates, they have a much better chance of success," Castillo said.
He said the grant will be used to pay for staff time to produce the workshops, foreign-language interpreters and some supplies such as plastic storage bags.
The Way Home has been lining up landlords to apply for the program, and it expects to announce participants later this month. Castillo said there has been no difficulty finding landlords. The program does not pay for any spraying, which participating landlords will be responsible for.
Workshops will be held in January and February; he expects to have two workshops per building.
The money is provided through the EPA Environmental Justice Small Grant Award, which encourages education and collaboration to tackle environmental problems on the local level.
The Manchester grant was the only one awarded in New Hampshire.

Model Information: This is one of Atlas' Chinese-made toolings. It served as the replacement for the earlier Roco-made bulkhead flatcars from the 1960s and 1970s. This model is somewhat more detailed than the earlier Roco model It first appears in the Atlas 2000 catalog with two undecorated versions (open vs closed ends) and six different road names, each with multiple numbers. The price for the decorated version in 2000 was $13.95 and $9.95 for the two undecorated models.
Prototype History:
Road Name History:
Chartered by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1850, the road grew into one of the great success stories of American business. Operating under one name continuously for 132 years, it survived civil war and economic depression and several waves of social and technological change. Under Milton H. Smith, president of the company for thirty years, the L&N grew from a road with less than three hundred miles (480 km) of track to a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system serving thirteen states. As one of the premier Southern railroads, the L&N extended its reach far beyond its namesake cities, stretching to St. Louis, Memphis, Atlanta, and New Orleans. The railroad was economically strong throughout its lifetime, operating both freight and passenger trains in a manner that earned it the nickname, "The Old Reliable."
Growth of the railroad continued until its purchase and the tumultuous rail consolidations of the 1980s which led to continual successors. By the end of 1970, L&N operated 6,063 miles (9,757 km) of road on 10,051 miles (16,176 km) of track, not including the Carrollton Railroad.
In 1971 the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, successor to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, purchased the remainder of the L&N shares it did not already own, and the company became a subsidiary. By 1982 the railroad industry was consolidating quickly, and the Seaboard Coast Line absorbed the Louisville & Nashville Railroad entirely. Then in 1986, the Seaboard System merged with the C&O and B&O and the new combined system was known as the Chessie System. Soon after the combined company became CSX Transportation (CSX), which now owns and operates all of the former Louisville and Nashville lines.

Brand/Importer Information:
In those days, railroad modelers had to assemble and build everything from scratch. Steve Jr. created a "switch kit" which sold so well, that the entire family worked on them in the basement at night, while doing business as usual in the machine shop during the day.
Subsequently, Steve Jr. engineered the stapling of rail to fiber track, along with inventing the first practical rail joiner and pre-assembled turnouts and flexible track. All of these products, and more, helped to popularize model railroading and assisted in the creation of a mass-market hobby. The budding entrepreneur quickly outgrew the limitations of a basement and small garage operation. Realizing they could actually make a living selling track and related products, Steve and his father had the first factory built in Hillside, New Jersey at 413 Florence Avenue in 1947. On September 30, 1949, the Atlas Tool Company was officially incorporated as a New Jersey company.
In 1985, Steve was honored posthumously for his inventions by the Model Railroad Industry Association and was inducted into the Model Railroad Industry Hall of Fame in Baltimore, Maryland. In addition, Steve was nominated and entered into the National Model Railroad Association Pioneers of Model Railroading in 1995.
In the early 1990s, the Atlas Tool Company changed its name to Atlas Model Railroad Company, Inc.

Mr. Popper's Penguins - About the Production14 Jun 2011
By Tommy Pihl (JCO Editor-In-Chief)
"Mr. Popper's Penguins" began principal photography on October 7, 2010, and filmed for eleven weeks entirely in New York City, a setting that was central to the filmmakers' vision. While the title character from the Mr. Popper's Penguins book lived in a small town and made a humble living by painting houses, the film's Mr. Popper is a successful real estate developer in a city with some of the most valuable property, and most recognizable architecture, in the world. "The thing that really defined the look of this film was New York City," says Waters. "The fact that we were going to actually make this movie there allowed me to say, okay, we can shoot for a very large scope, and make it feel like a classic New York movie." Adds Jim Carrey: "The film captures New York in a beautiful way. It really makes you feel warm. There's no bad angle; anywhere you put the camera is interesting and has depth, contour and character."
© 20th Century Fox
Waters' behind-the-scenes team included such veterans of New York filmmaking as Oscar®-winning costume designer Ann Roth ("The English Patient"), director of photography Florian Ballhaus ("The Devil Wears Prada," "Red") and Academy Award® nominated production designer Stuart Wurtzel ("Hannah and Her Sisters").
Key locations included such Gotham architectural landmarks as the Flatiron Building on 23rd Street, built in 1902, its shape the function of its triangular plot created by the intersection of and the diagonal line of Broadway and Fifth Avenue. The production filmed exteriors at the Flatiron Building, as well as in an office in the very tip of the "iron." It then moved uptown to film at Frank Lloyd Wright's 1959 Guggenheim Museum on Fifth Avenue and 88th Street. Scenes in which penguins crash a black-tie gala attended by Mr. Popper were filmed on the distinctive spiraling ramp of one of the great modern interiors in the world. Another modern interior in Popper's world is his office, filmed in the new Bank of America building on 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue, which overlooks a magnificent cityscape.
The exterior and lobby of Mr. Popper's building was also filmed on location, on a residential building on prestigious Park Avenue. The interiors of his apartment were created on a stage at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn.

Popper's desire for a clean, ordered life comes to naught when six wild birds from Antarctica move in with him. He is compelled to accommodate the penguins' need for a cold environment, and opens all of his windows, letting in the frigid New York winter weather. Popper discovers he enjoys acclimatizing his home for the penguins, much to the delight of his kids. "Once the penguins start inhabiting the apartment, it starts taking on a whole life of its own and becomes a kind of winter wonderland," Wurtzel says. Popper turns his vivid imagination into the apartment, adding a mini ice-skating rink and snowman. "It was fun to take something that was so rigid at the beginning and turn it into sort of madness at the end because of the penguins, and the way the whole family sort of took it on and accepted it," Wurtzel adds.
Cinematographer Florian Ballhaus adapted the lighting in the apartment to reflect a new feeling in Popper's home. "Even though it kind of got white and cold, we also started to introduce a warm sunlight into the apartment, so it actually felt like a much more inviting, cozy place," says Waters of Ballhaus' work.
Another important setting in the story of "Mr. Popper's Penguins" is Tavern on the Green, a Victorian stone and brick edifice in Central Park. Built in 1871 as a barn for sheep, Tavern on the Green was converted into a restaurant in 1934, and through the years became a popular dining spot for local glitterati and tourists alike. Closed in 2009, the building now houses a visitors' center. Wurtzel and his team recreated The Tavern's interiors, including its grand dining room. "The Tavern was a wonderful meeting place with a joyful interior and Baroque restaurant, which everybody went to," says Wurtzel. "Every opening-night party, every wrap party, everybody wanted to be at Tavern on the Green."

Wurtzel recreated the wood-paneled front vestibule of the Tavern, the famous Crystal Room with its ornate chandeliers and flower-filled décor, and approximately twelve feet of Central Park so the views outside the plate-glass windows would look authentic. "It's a sort of emotional composite of how people remember it," he says.
Upon completion of principal photography, the actors - and penguins - returned home or began work on their next projects. But for Waters, Davis, and the post-production teams, months of editing, scoring, visual effects, and mixing lay ahead. Taking a break from putting the final touches on the film, Waters states that "Mr. Popper's Penguins" is for audiences of all ages. "I certainly have been aspiring to make a big comedy that has big emotion," he says. "If we did our work right here, the movie will work on all those levels of entertainment." And Mr. Popper himself - Jim Carrey - offers his hopes for the film: "It puts you in touch with what's important in life, such as the value of love, family and friendship. At the same time, I think audiences will be surprised by how funny and edgy it is. The film has humor that adults will enjoy. It's completely innocent, joyful and uplifting."

Treaty of Holston, 1791
A Treaty of Peace and; Friendship made and concluded between the President of the United States of America, on the Part and Behalf of the said States, and the undersigned Chiefs and Warriors, of the Cherokee Nation of Indians, on the part aide Behalf of the said Nation.
The parties being desirous of establishing permanent peace and friendship between the United States and the said Cherokee Nation, and the citizens and members thereof, and to remove the causes of war, by ascertaining their limits and making other necessary, just and friendly arrangements: The President of the United States, by William Blount, Governor of the territory of the United States of America, south of the river Ohio, and Superintendant of Indian affairs for the southern district, who is vested with full powers for these purposes, by and with-the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States. And the Cherokee Nation, by the undersigned Chiefs and Warriors representing the said nation, have agreed to the following articles, namely:
There shall be perpetual peace and friendship between all the citizens of the United States of America, and all the individuals composing the whole Cherokee nation of Indians.
The undersigned Chiefs and Warriors, for themselves and all parts of the Cherokee nation do acknowledge themselves and the said Cherokee nation, to be under the protection of the said United States of America, and of no other sovereign whosoever; and they also stipulate that the said Cherokee nation will not hold any treaty with any foreign power, individual state, or with individuals of any state.
The Cherokee nation shall deliver to the Governor of the territory of the United States of America, south of the river Ohio, on or before the first day of April next, at this place, all persons who are now prisoners, captured by them from any part of the United States: And the United States shall on or before the same day, and at the same place, restore to the Cherokees, all the prisoners now in captivity, which the citizens of the United States have captured from them.
The boundary between the citizens of the United States and the Cherokee nation, is and shall be as follows: Beginning at the top of the Currahee mountain, where the Creek line passes it; thence a direct line to Tugelo river; thence northeast to the Occunna mountain, and over the same along the South-Carolina Indian boundary to the North-Carolina boundary; thence north to a point from which a line is to be extended to the river Clinch, that shall pass the Holston at the ridge which divides the waters running into Little River from those running into the Tennessee; thence up the river Clinch to Campbell's line, and along the same to the top of Cumberland mountain; thence a direct line to the Cumberland river where the Kentucky road crosses it; thence down the Cumberland river to a point from which a south west line will strike the ridge which divides the waters of Cumberland from those of Duck river, forty miles above Nashville; thence down the said ridge to a point from whence a south west line will strike the mouth of Duck river.
And in order to preclude forever all disputes relative to the said boundary, the same shall be ascertained, and marked plainly by three persons appointed on the part of the United States, and three Cherokees on the part of their nation. And in order to extinguish forever all claims of the Cherokee nation, or any part thereof, to any of the land lying to the right of the line above described. beginning as aforesaid at the Currahee mountain, it is hereby agreed, that in addition to the consideration heretofore made for the said land, the United States will cause certain valuable goods, to be immediately delivered to the undersigned Chiefs and Warriors, for the use of their nation; and the said United States will also cause the sum of one thousand dollars to be paid annually to the said Cherokee nation. And the undersigned Chiefs and Warriors, do hereby for themselves and the whole Cherokee nation, their heirs and descendants, for the considerations above-mentioned, release, quit-claim, relinquish and cede, all the land to the right of the line described, and beginning as aforesaid.
It is stipulated and agreed, that the citizens and inhabitants of the United States, shall have a free and unmolested use of a road from Washington district to Mero district, and of the navigation of the Tennessee river.
It is agreed on the part of the Cherokees, that the United States shall have the sole and exclusive right of regulating their trade.
The United States solemnly guarantee to the Cherokee nation, all their lands not hereby ceded.
If any citizen of the United States, or other person not being an Indian, shall settle on any of the Cherokees' lands, such person shall forfeit the protection of the United States, and the Cherokees may punish him or not, as they please.
No citizen or inhabitant of the United States, shall attempt to hunt or destroy the game on the lands of the Cherokees; nor shall any citizen or inhabitant go into the Cherokee country, without a passport first obtained from the Governor of some one of the United States, or territorial districts, or such other person as the President of the United States may from time to time authorize to grant the same.
If any Cherokee Indian or Indians, or person residing among them, or who shall take refuge in their nation, shall steal a horse from, or commit a robbery or murder, or other capital crime, on any citizens or inhabitants of the United States, the Cherokee nation shall be bound to deliver him or them up, to be punished according to the laws of the United States.
If any citizen or inhabitant of the United States, or of either of the territorial districts of the United States, shall go into any town, settlement or territory belonging to the Cherokees, and shall there commit any crime upon, or trespass against the person or property of any peaceable and friendly Indian or Indians, which if committed within the jurisdiction of any state, or within the jurisdiction of either of the said districts, against a citizen or white inhabitant thereof, would be punishable by the laws of such state or district, such offender or offenders, shall be subject to the same punishment, and shall be proceeded against in the same manner as if the of fence had been committed within the jurisdiction of the state or district to which he or they may belong against a citizen or white inhabitant thereof.
In case of violence on the persons or property of the individuals of either party, neither retaliation or reprisal shall be committed by the other, until satisfaction shall have been demanded of the party of which the aggressor is and shall have been refused.
The Cherokees shall give notice to the citizens of the United States, of any designs which they may know, or suspect to be formed in any neighboring tribe, or by any person whatever, against the peace and interest of the United States.
That the Cherokee nation may be led to a greater degree of civilization, and to become herdsmen and cultivators, instead of remaining in a state of hunters, the United States will from time to time furnish gratuitously the said nation with useful implements of husbandry, and further to assist the said nation in so desirable a pursuit, and at the same time to establish a certain mode of communication, the United States will send such, and so many persons to reside in said nation as they may judge proper, not exceeding four in number, who shall qualify themselves to act as interpreters. These persons shall have lands assigned by the Cherokees for cultivation for themselves and their successors in office; but they shall be precluded exercising any kind of traffic.
All animosities for past grievances shall henceforth cease, and the contracting parties will carry the foregoing treaty into full execution with all good faith and sincerity.
This treaty shall take effect and be obligatory on the contracting parties as soon as the same shall have been ratified by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States. In witness of all and every thing herein determined between the United States of America and the whole Cherokee nation, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals, at the treaty ground on the bank of the Holston, near the mouth of the French Broad, within the United States, this second day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one.
