Bend's housing market crash has turned out to be an opportunity for several developers who have bought up more than 900 residential lots that were left undeveloped.
The Bulletin reports that an examination of Deschutes County deed records shows developers picked up the majority of the lots in two dozen subdivisions between 2009 and 2012.
In 18 of the subdivisions, the previous developer lost the properties to foreclosure after the housing market fizzled and collapsed in 2008.
The housing crash came after a frenzy of new subdivision building to accommodate a population boom in Central Oregon.
According to the city, 333 subdivisions were platted between 2000 and 2009, compared with the 136 that were platted in the 1990s.
Property values plummeted, sparking a flurry of new activity by developers.

Getting married at the beach? No? Well, maybe you want a comfortable pair of shoes for the reception. Flip flops are the perfect answer! They're cheap and can be decorated to match your dress very easily. I was able to pick up a pair at the local dollar store and decorate them in only about 45 minutes. M&J Trimming has this great glue called Flip Flop Glue (item # 37866). It's made so that your decorations won't fall off during regular wear and tear. You can decorate your flip flops with buttons, ribbons, sequins, or my personal favorite… rhinestones! I decorated my pair in Light Rose and Crystal AB. Why not try decorating a pair for your own big day, as a gift for the bride or maybe for your bridesmaids and flower girl. It's a fun project and you will be able to wear them after the wedding during your honeymoon, or for a day out on the town.

The above players are not Shoot First players and they let Nate be the team playmaker. Last night was the first time in three seasons where I actually seen Q.Richardson let Nate Robinson control the game flow while Q.Rich was on the court.
The most important part of last night game for all Knick Fans was that C-Randolph Morris & PG-Mardy Collins had a "DNP", and Tazman Balkman got playingtime in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter which only added up to 13 minutes of playingtime last night, he had 1-ast, 1-steal, 1-blk, 1-fl, 3-rbds (2-off), and went to the foul line with pieces of minutes here and there never given a chance to get into the flow of the game with some straight long minutes.

As it turns out Dan Henderson's loss ended up being Vitor Belfort's gain.
In one of the oddest days in UFC history, a revolving door of potential opponents saw Henderson withdraw from a UFC 151 matchup with light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones (16-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC), who then turned down a fight with Chael Sonnen only to accept a fight with Lyoto Machida (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC), who also declined the offer, leading to Jones vs. Belfort at UFC 152. Got it?
Many were surprised that former champion Machida, a man who openly lobbied for a fight with Jones, did not accept the challenge. But Ed Soares, Machida's longtime manager, said his client is comfortable with the decision.
"Lyoto wants nothing more to be champion once again," Soares told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "Unfortunately, a rematch with Jon Jones doesn't just mean another shot at the title. A second loss to the champion means you have to completely reinvent yourself. It just happened to Chael Sonnen and Frankie Edgar. It happened in the past with B.J. Penn and Rich Franklin.
"Lyoto believes he has a great chance to beat Jon Jones the next time they fight, but he also wants an opportunity to come into the fight at full strength. Jon Jones is a great champion, and we would never disrespect him by assuming we could beat him with any less than our best effort. And Lyoto believes he owes it to himself, to Jon, and to the fans to be fully prepared the next time he steps into cage."
UFC 152 takes place Sept. 22 at Toronto's Air Canada Centre, and while UFC President Dana White announced that Jones would meet Machida in the event's headliner, he had yet to actually receive a commitment from "The Dragon." When the offer was officially tendered, Soares said Machida made a simple request: give him a minimum of four full weeks of training, and he can be ready again to fight Jones.
"When we were offered the chance to fight Jones again at UFC 152 in Toronto, I discussed it with Lyoto, and he said it just wasn't enough time," Soares said. "We asked if the fight could be moved back a few weeks to UFC 153. Unfortunately, the UFC wanted the fight to take place in Toronto.
"Lyoto just wants to know whatever happens in a rematch with Jon Jones that he gave his absolute best performance. Going in there at less than full strength and coming up short could mean Lyoto would be forced to reinvent himself in another division despite believing in his heart that he can still be light-heavyweight champion. That could be a thorn in his side for the rest of his life, and nobody wants to go through that."
Machida has received criticism for his choice, especially when it resulted in the odd booking of Jones vs. Belfort (in which the champion is already being considered as much as a 13-to-1 favorite). But Soares said any anger pointed toward his client is severely misdirected.
So Machida instead goes back in line and will now wait for another call from the UFC. Ultimately, the former champion just wants another chance to wrap UFC gold around his waist. Of course, getting a chance to avenge his UFC 140 loss to Jones wouldn't be a bad thing either.
And when it happens, Soares said Machida is confident he can deliver a masterful performance.
"Lyoto is happy with the decision he made, and I think Dana understands his position, as well," Soares said. "When Lyoto gets another shot at the belt, he wants to make sure he's putting his best foot forward. He knows he made some mistakes in that first fight with Jon, and he's looking forward to correcting them.
"When Lyoto does get his shot, I promise you're going to see the best Lyoto Machida you've ever seen."

ORLANDO, Fla. - When you meet Dave and Diane Wolk, you feel like you're meeting the happiest couple in the world. The love is so palpable that the heartache is not.
Diane is being treated for Alzheimer's disease.
"Everybody's got something. This is what I've got," she said with a warm smile.
Diane doesn't look like the typical face of Alzheimer's. She's 60 years old. She started showing symptoms at 53.
"It was a little scary," she said. "I just knew I wasn't right."
Diane was leading a successful, happy life. The Wolk's are a close, loving family. Diane, who once served as the head of Vermont's State Board of Education, was well-respected by her colleagues.
"You ask yourself, how can someone who is so intelligent, vital in every way, have this? How can this happen?" her husband said.
Those questions led Dave on a quest for answers. His research ultimately led the couple to Orlando, where Dr. Craig Curtis at Compass Research is taking part in one of the largest Alzheimer's drug trials in the country.
"This drug could be a game-changer," Curtis said. "It's potentially a disease modify drug. (It) could actually start to slow down or stabilize the disease."
The drug is called Bapineuzamab. To understand how it should work, it's helpful to understand the basics of Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is believed to be caused by a buildup of abnormal proteins that forms plaque around the brain cells.
The goal of any Alzheimer's drug would be to remove that plaque so the brain cells stay intact. So far, no drug has done that. But Bapineuzumab, which is an antibody that attaches to the plaque and allows the immune system to remove it, is showing great promise. The trial is still underway but, according to Curtis, there is already evidence that the drug is lowering plaque levels in the brain.
"It will be a breakthrough along the lines of the polio vaccine," Curtis said.
Until the trial is over and the data is analyzed, it won't be known if the drug actually slows down or stops Alzheimer's from progressing. Dave and Diane, meanwhile, are cautiously optimistic.
"You know that they call it, the long goodbye," Dave said. "It's a nasty disease, and we're just hoping to hang on as long as we can until they find a cure."
Diane Wolk is one of 2000 people in the Bapineuzumab trial. Results of the entire study will not be published until another year or two.

FYI/TMI: Adele Heads To Oscars, Justin Bieber And One Direction Are Saving Kids
(In an effort to keep you fully informed, and fully entertained, below we present today's FYI and TMI — news you need and news that's, well, sometimes needless….)
Adele To Perform At Oscars
GRAMMY winner Adele will perform her Oscar-nominated theme from Skyfall at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on Feb. 24 in Los Angeles. Adele is nominated in the Music (Original Song) category for "Skyfall." Additional music category nominees include GRAMMY winners Alain Boublil, Alexandre Desplat, Paul Epworth, Herbert Kretzmer, Walter Murphy, Thomas Newman, Claude-Michel Schönberg, and John Williams.
Study: File Sharers Purchase More Music
A new survey by Columbia University research center the American Assembly has found that users of peer-to-peer file sharing networks purchase more than 30 percent more music than those who don't share files. Commissioned by Google, the survey also found the average P2P user in the United States has 2,000 songs in their music library, of which approximately 38 percent were legally purchased, and that digital music library owners who don't use file-sharing networks have an average of 1,300 songs, 45 percent of which were legally acquired. Additionally, approximately 15 percent of U.S. respondents were in favor of sharing copyrighted content online.
Can Justin Bieber And One Direction Save The Youth?
While Justin Bieber assures his fans that, as long as they love him, he'll be their platinum, their silver, and their gold, One Direction encourage their fans to feel beautiful. But according to a new Netherlands-based study, teenage pop stars are offering much more. The study found that kids who listen to "unconventional music," which is defined as hip-hop, punk and trance, are more likely to become "delinquents," while those who listen to the likes of Sex Pistols or Odd Future are more likely to commit crimes later in life. In contrast, fans of Bieber, or "high-brow" music such as classical and jazz, showed "fewer externalizing problems." The moral of this study: Never mind the Sex Pistols, here's … Justin Bieber?


text: Re: Third Nolan Batman film title announced! I don't particularly like the title, but I also don't really care about the title. It does give a subtle indication that this might be about Batman's public rehabilitation. Dark Knight ended with him being a pariah so this ends up with him 'rising again'. if the the story is something like that, the title ends up being a little better. But if not, I don't really care.

Reprinted with permission from the Press-Republican, Sept. 17, 2012.
PHILOTT LAKE, Va. (Sept. 17, 2012) — SUNY Plattsburgh sent two fishing teams to compete in the National Guard FLW College Northern Conference Championship.
The team of Port Kent's Richard Lee and Grand Island's Chris Benninger landed in second place overall and received $5,000 in prize money. The competition will be televised Dec. 16 at 1 p.m. on the FLW fishing channel.
After Day 1, Lee and Benninger were in third place.
On Day 2, they were able to hold on to that position, which guaranteed them a spot in the Nationals in April 2013.
On Day 3, only the top five teams returned and the local team finished in second place.

As part of an initiative to support soccer in the Southern California, the LA Galaxy has partnered with local youth club South Bay Force, who will now become LA Galaxy South Bay.
The LA Galaxy Academy will share coaching curriculum and training methods with the Galaxy South Bay program, which will be led by Technical Director Greg Vanney. In addition to the club's boys programs, the new "LA Galaxy Girls" will also receive the same type of training and coaching as their male counterparts.
As part of the partnership, the LA Galaxy Foundation donated $10,000 to LA Galaxy South Bay at half time of LA's 1-0 defeat with the Colorado Rapids at StubHub Center on Saturday. The scholarship will be used for a scholarship program for players that would otherwise be limited financially.

We were fossil hunting today on the rocky beach of Port Mulgrave near Whitby when we stumbled upon this item. It looks like lots of shiny fibres coming out of a piece of bone/rock. What could it be?
Ooo - that's a good one!
If the solid part was round or hexagonal in cross-section, I must suspect it to be a fragment of industrial optical fibre. But the solid part seems to be shaped more like the handle of a knife.
I look forward to somebody enlightening us both, fingers crossed!
Meanwhile, it would be useful if you could give us a clue about its density.
Does it feel heavy?
If it feels light, does it float or sink in water?
Does it absorb water, repel it, or seem indifferent to it?
Does it smell?
Does it have a greasy feel?
Does it smoke if you put a lighter or match under it?
Hi Mike
It sinks in water. The black part does not seem to absorb water. The fibre part holds water like a paint brush would. Some of the fibres come easily out of the black part and snap if they are pulled. The black part does not feel greasy - it feels like a piece of bone would (only the wrong colour). When I held a lighter under it, it eventually began to smoke and smelled a bit like tar. I'm thinking now that it must be something manmade rather than natural but I'm still intrigued to know what it is or what it has been used for.
The black part goes right into the middle of the white fibres.
Hope this helps someone to identify it.
Thanks for the further info.
My best guess is a remnant of a shaving brush, either synthetic or natural (badger hair)
eg. http://www.ecomarket.com/products/12948844/synthetic-shaving-brush-taylor/
You have to imagine the wave action has eroded the outer bristles, leaving the less-splayed inner ones.
What do you think?
Mmm that's a definite possibility. Thanks for all your help.
I think you have almost hit the nail on the head Mike - I think it's a piece of sea worn carbon fibre/glass fibre, most probably a piece if broken fishing rod.
I wondered if it might be a bit of baleen, or fashioned from it (there are several baleen whales, down to the minke whale) http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/info-books/baleen/physical-characteristics.htm .
Good idea!
I wonder why it might 'de-fibre' from just one end.
And would it smell/smoke when hot? It perhaps depends on how the fibres are held together (fused or cemented)
That's a brilliant idea!
I've never seen baleen other than in pictures, so I don't know if Macca's specimen looks reasonably similar.
I guess we might need a CSI to ID the fibres.
Thanks Mike. I've only seen pictures as well; & while several things point to baleen (like whitby's a whaling port & a New Zealand shaving brush with baleen 'hairs'), & http://www.scran.ac.uk/packs/exhibitions/learning_materials/webs/40/baleen.htm describes the bristles as varying from coarse to very fine (minke); nevertheless the picture & description on that site of a baleen plate don't appear to fit, (eg layers of horny tubes which "emerge at the edge as hairlike bristles").
Wish I had seen this post earlier!
It is a piece of fibre glass (probably a fishing rod) that has been set on fire!
The fibers are what is left after the fire has gone out.
You sound very sure...!
You're not an anti-fishing activist, are you?!
Anyody care to donate a fishing rod, so we can set fire to it?
Actually, I am leaning in your direction (and hence with Bombus', too).
GRP can be fabricated into rods (as well as variously shaped surfaces), and in fact there's a company a bit up the East coast from Whitby that makes such rods - http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk/c-534-polyester-fibreglass-rods-white.aspx
And, indeed, the resin could burn, leaving the glass fibres intact.
(nods to oneself in acknowledgement)
Hi Mike
OK I think my name is a bit of a givaway!
I have set many rods on fire - Honest!
Fiber glass is usually solid and cabon is hollow.
Tomorow I will post some images of fiberglass and carbon don't have any kevlar as it has not realy caught on in fishing circles.
If you burn the end of an old fishing rod then cut the fibres short they act as an abrasive to clean coins! and also fossils in soft matrix.
Please look up coin cleaning on a mettal detectorists site.
I have just found a way around paying for it.
Hi Mike
As promised some images of burnt fiberglass and carbonfiber.
They are both from the tips of course fishing rods, the first image has fibreglass at the top and below carbon etc the bottom image is fiberglass.
Sea fishing rods can be made up of fiberglass or carbon, if fiberglass they are usually solid in construction similar to the piece found at PM, they are cheaper and shorter than if they are made of carbonfiber that is usualy made into a hollow tapered tube.
Fiberglass comes in many colours but is now outdated - were as carbon is usualy dark brown and is woven into a cloth making some fantastic paterns in the finished product, it could be a fishing rod or a F1 car.
Thanks for all your help. It looks very much like the second image so I must concede that it would appear to be a burnt fishing rod. How disappointing - I thought we'd found something very exciting!

My friends took me up to this well kind of course!! It was cool and we all will be down to supply cans and posts for this course in the spring. Is there a map cause I played the 11 or so and followed down the road to the thick treed area where there was a few baskets. How does it work out and when would some one like to meet me out there in the spring so me and a few others can put some serious three day work camps together???

Cougar can be a bit tricky to navigate if youve never been there. Basically there are 18 holes of plastic tones and 9 with wood tones (sticks really). As far as baskets go ive never seen any up there unless maybe someone took some of the old Holmes baskets up there this year. I would be more than happy to show you around the course once spring hits and it opens back up. Just curious, have you been up to Shale City? Its not too far from Cougar. Its not gated but it does get a lot of snow in the winter./\/\ E l) F () R l) E R
the coug is bad to the bone! the gate will be closed for the winter due to people ruining the land up top(not discers). the end of spring id be down to cruise up there. i think june 1 is the open date however i think it just depends on how soft it is up there. unfortunately the best time to play there is now but its quite a hike to get there. the summer burrs are crazy so wear pants or gators.

|There was bad weather for weeks in WA so Heather and I drove through OR, CA, NV, UT, and ID. We climbed 37 peaks in 19 days and on the 13th day of the trip we did Deseret Peak, Flat Top Mountain and Lewiston Peak. Deseret was a lovely hike similar to Timpanogos but Flat Top was a horrible hike through cattle grazing land with numerous biting flies. trip report

|runbyu's directions proved pretty good. We drove part of the way up in my FJ cruiser and stopped at 7600ft. One could drive all the way to the saddle at 8000ft with an ATV but there are huge ruts that would deter most full size 4WD. From the saddle we managed to lose the trail periodically partially due to it going through scrub oak and partly due to 3-4 inches of fresh snow from the day prior. The "new" trail on the north side of the subpeak was nice. There are new summit register notepads now and I was a little honored to sign in right after the inimitable Gerry and Jennifer Roach. Good views for sure. We were able to follow the trail quite a bit better on the way down.

|This part coming over from Lewiston Peak actually was not that bad. It was a nice ridge run that I may have enjoyed had I not been so cranky after all the bushwhacking up the mountain and worried about the incoming storm. My comment once we got to the top was "this is...flat." I honestly didn't realize what I was saying until after I'd said it. Suddenly the name made sense. From far away I didn't think it really looked flat but compared to other summits I've been to it really was flat. I wasn't overwhelmed by the views but did enjoying looking back at the Oquirrs and finding out car in the parking lot.

|Summit register is FULL - July 2013 Route Up Flat Top and Lewiston
Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2013
|We made the drive out to Ophir, which was a super cool little town and started up South Fork Road around 3pm. Once we got to the saddle and turned off the road, it was mostly bad trail and cross country from there but we made it up to Lewiston and then over to Flat Top. The summit register is full, so if someone sees this, they may want to take a new one up to the summit. We were only the 7th people to have signed the register this year! We got chased off the top by a Thunderstorm but made it out just fine only getting wet. The new route around the North ridge from 9600 down to 9000 is great and kept us in the trees and out of the rain and lightning. There seem to have been a bunch of changes on the mountain since the last information was posted so I put up a trip report titled 'July 2013 Update - How to get to Flat Top and Lewiston' so that people would have a comprehensive source for getting to the top of these peaks.

INFORMATION RUNS DEEP—Panelist and organizers of the Health Awareness Symposium. Dr. Taunya Tinsley, Atiya Abdelmalik, MSN,RN, CWPC, Rev. June P. Jeffries, Rev. Dr. Judith C. Moore, Lorraine Starsky, RN, BSN and Jerry Allen. (Photos by Diane I. Daniels)
Women of all ages and walks of life converged on the William Pitt Union at the University of Pittsburgh campus ready to find practical ways to regain their physical, emotional and spiritual health and thrive through the "Take it Back" symposium.
"The mission for this conference is to begin a movement to empower and equip African-American women to take back the responsibility and authority of their own personal health and well being," said Rev. June Jefferies, who founded the symposium along with Rev. Dr. Judith C. Moore. "This conference is the beginning of ownership over our own bodies."
Sponsored by the Heinz Foundation, the first annual "Take It Back" symposium was held May 7 and featured professionals from varying health arenas to arm participants with life-saving information.
Panelists for the event included Lorraine Starsky, the Chronic Disease Prevention Public Health nurse for the Allegheny Health Department who spoke about diabetes; and Dr. Taunya Marie Tinsley, a counselor, educator and associate professor at California University of Pennsylvania. The symposium was moderated by Rev. Linda Williams-Moore, pastor of St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh's Bridgewater section.
"Our goal was to invite women to come and engage in dialogue with medical, emotional and spiritual authorities," Jefferies said. "We wanted to put something in their hands and in their hearts to motivate them that no matter what they are up against, you have the power to make a difference in your life and welfare."
The "Take It Back" symposium is under the umbrella of "The Gathering," which is a collaboration between Moore's group, Sisters Saving Ourselves Now and
Jefferies' Sister/Sista Ministries. Both have banded together to strengthen the whole African-American woman.

Michael McDonald
Performing Artists (Click on Artist for Reviews and Previews)
Completely Objective Biography by M. McDonald
Michael McDonald is not a singer. That's the other guy. He is also not a professional fighter. That's the other other guy. He's also not an abusive unemployed alcoholic. That's some of the rest of the Michael McDonalds out there. You've found the one who is best known for his ten years playing freaks on Mad TV. Michael got his start writing and performing for free at the famed Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles. His first paid writing and acting jobs came from Concorde Pictures, Roger Corman's infamous low-budget movie studio. Starting as an extra, McDonald landed dozens of roles in terrible movies. He eventually moved behind the camera to write and direct more terrible movies. Roger Corman still owes Michael money. Since those early poverty stricken years, Michael has divided his career into as many tiny hard-to-reassemble pieces as possible:
Michael has usually worked in television, landing guest spots on SEINFELD, ELLEN, JUST SHOOT ME, and NEWS RADIO before landing on MAD TV in 1998. During his ten-year run, McDonald created several weird characters - most notably man-child Stuart Larkin, Marvin Tikkvah Rusty Miller, and The Depressed Persian Tow Truck Man. He was also forced to attempt many impressions, including Dr. Phil, Al Gore and most of the murders & politicians of that era. In 2007, McDonald left MAD TV because the wigs were really getting to him. He went on to guest star on more television shows, including SCRUBS, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and PUSHING DAISIES. As of this writing by a completely impartial third party who has no connection to Michael what so ever, I – I mean Michael - currently has recurring roles on HOUSE OF LIES and WEB THERAPY. Both of these are on SHOWTIME, which means they are better than network shows, but they don't pay very well. Michael's first film role in years is as a bad guy in THE HEAT, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. Watch for it in the summer of 2013.
Aside from the early days of directing crap for Concorde Pictures, McDonald took up directing again on Mad TV. It seemed like a natural thing to do, since he was always telling everybody what to do anyway. From there, he branched out to direct episodes of other shows in which he had previously worked as an actor, including SCRUBS, and SEVENTH HEAVEN. Eventually he became a producer/director on ABC's COUGAR TOWN, and guest director on DON'T TRUST THE BITCH IN APT 23, SAVE ME, and HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS. Directing actors has taught Michael that he should be nicer to directors when he is acting.
McDonald enjoys writing his own material, starting with those horrible Corman movies in the early days, to sketch comedy at the Groundling Theater, and then on MAD TV. In 2012, his first drama pilot, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, was produced for NBC but was not picked up because it was "too cool for TV." NOTE: It bears repeating that this is an unbiased, third-party assessment. Michael is currently working on another drama script through his deal with ABC Studios. Luckily, this one is guaranteed to be a hit – because it just has to be, damn it!
Whenever his schedule permits, (translation – frequently) McDonald tours the country doing stand up comedy. His first hour-long comedy special, MICHAEL MCDONALD: MODEL. CITIZEN. aired on SHOWTIME in 2010 and is currently available on AMAZON. Michael hopes to tape a second hour-long special before the end of 2013.

Whenever I restart my computer, I get a "greeting" message offering to give me info about an upgraded firewall. I always answer "no thanks" but it comes up every time. I answered "ok" once and was just redirected to ZA's product page. Coulda got there on my own if I was interested.
I asked Tech Support if I can disable it. They said "No".
Guess that's the price I pay for the free version (I'm using version 9.2.044.000). I will forever be saying "No Thanks".
Otherwise, it's a reasonably good product.

Can't seem to break away from my desire to add more light to my RT.
I saw some PIAA's the other day surfing around on Amazon. Has anyone ever tried the P 3000 tri beams or the P 4000 Quattro's mounted on their bike? I know the Quattro's are primarily for trucks and SUV's but that shouldn't stop someone from trying them on a bike.
By the time I finish with an HID install, HP LED's and maybe some more PIAA's or Hella's I could be called upon in an emergency to light up the runway at the airport!
BTW, I know that adding all this light would be massive overkill. I would only fire em all up at the same time with little or no traffic on my way to work. I leave the house at 0 dark 30 and I want to melt a few deer on the way.

OCEAN CITY – After concerns have arose over a hectic schedule of events this June, city officials have a close eye on new events being proposed during Ocean City's busy summer season.
Event organizers Corey Davis and Dave Speier came before the Mayor and City Council on Monday to present a new event called Swim OC. The event is an ocean swim competition with three different lengths — one mile, three miles and nine miles — proposed to be held on July 20 this summer to raise funds for Johns Hopkins Brain Trauma Research.
A few issues regarding the event were noted. The total cost to the town will be around $1,800, which involves additional EMS and Beach Patrol staffing that was requested to support the safety of the event.
Ocean City Beach Patrol (OCBP) Captain Butch Arbin submitted the department had agreed to assist with safety and will provide the normal Surf Rescue Technicians (SRTs) on duty as well as schedule additional staff.
Arbin's concerns were over water temperature for those planning on the long swim and hypothermia. Also, with the organizer's ability to provide, place and secure the number of buoys that is planned, and the ability to determine and verify the criteria used to determine eligibility to enter the longer races.
Speier said the event organizers have experience with swimming events as he has organized the Nanticoke River Swim for the past six years, and another organizer, Tracy McNeil, has helped set up pre-qualifications to enter the swim as she is an English Channel swimmer herself.
Speier pointed out the Swim OC plans to bring at least 250 participants to Ocean City, resulting in an economic impact by sleeping in hotels, eating in restaurants and paying to park.
"We think it is a great event for the town,' he said. "The organizers are local … and it is for a good cause."
Although the swim is dedicated to a noble cause, Councilman Dennis Dare shared his concern over the proposed date.
"July 20 is the peak of our season and as I read through your detailed request you are making a lot of requests of the city's beach patrol and EMS," he said. "This is a Saturday in July at our peak time and to suggest that we bring extra EMT and extra lifeguards to monitor this swim for 250 participants when they have 250,000 people on the beach that they need to monitor."
Dare suggested to remand the event to the newly reinstated Recreation and Parks Commission to hammer out the concerns as well as explore a different date, such as in September when the water is warmer and hotel rates are less.
"This will be a great event in Ocean City, but I think the timing is wrong," Council President Lloyd Martin said. "I know that our beach patrol has a 'can'do' attitude. If you want them to do it and we ask them to do, they are going to do it but there is a cost to that."
Councilwoman Mary Knight didn't want the council to look like the bad guys and reassured the event organizers they were not rejected it, simply asking them to consider holding Swim OC at another time.
"We are not saying no, it is such a worthy cause, and I personally appreciate you here to discuss it with us," she said.
Arbin approached the Mayor and City Council to explain there are issues with holding such an event in September like surf conditions as hurricane season approaches and a decrease in personnel.
"The July 20 date, although it is in the middle of the season, we are at maximum force at that time," he said. "So we have more stands on the beach, more people available to assist in a swim like that … the way we see it is at 10 o'clock guards are in the stands, we are already used to protecting 250,000 people anyway, having 250 quality swimmers swim by is not a problem for us."
Councilman Brent Ashley took Arbin's word for it and made a motion to approve the event, and a second followed by Councilwoman Margaret Pillas.
"There are more eyes on you in July. I don't see a problem with it," Pillas said. "It brings people to town, it is an event just starting and will probably grow, and I think it is a very worthwhile thing to do."
The motion to approve Swim OC failed in a vote of 2-5 with only Ashley and Pillas in favor.
Councilman Doug Cymek made a motion to remand the Swim OC event to the Recreation and Parks Committee to work out the date and other concerns. The motion was approve in a vote of 6-1 with Ashley in opposition.
"Obviously, it is a worthy event for a good cause and I would like to see it happen," Cymek said.
The event will be scheduled to be discussed at the Recreation and Parks Committee next meeting on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Northside Park.

It all started back in 1975. A mad scientist named Jim Jannard began seeking out problems, finding solutions and wrapping those solutions in art. Jannard decided the only way to defy the limits of possibility was to start from scratch. Doing so would require dedication to purpose beyond reason. That was the beginning of a company called Oakley. Oakley makes products the same way its designers approach life: by challenging rules, because it takes a bit of lawlessness to unleash creativity. That's the kind of environment that delivers the unexpected.

The NSS has a short list of candidates for secularist of the year.
Jacques Berlinerblau – for his book How to be secular: A call to arms for religious freedom and for broadening the appeal of secularism by dispelling the misconception that it synonymous with atheism.
British Muslims for a Secular Democracy – for raising awareness within British Muslims and the wider public, of democracy – particularly 'secular democracy', helping to contribute to a shared vision of citizenship.
Carlos Celdran – Performance artist and political/cultural activist in the Philippines, for his tireless challenges to the privileged Catholic Church there, particularly in his advocacy for gay health and freedom, and for the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 which guarantees universal access to methods of contraception, fertility control, sexual education, and maternal care – long opposed by the Catholic church.
The Dalai Lama – for his promotion of secular ethics beyond religion and respect for nonbelievers globally.
Oliver Kamm – Leader writer and columnist for The Times, for his regular and excellent defence of the separation of Church and State.
Malala Yousafzai – for campaigning for girls' education in the face of violent and brutal Islamist opposition.
The Dalai Lama? Seriously? He's done some dissing of nonbelievers. So has Berlinerblau, for that matter.

Land of Lincoln
February 12, 2009, marks the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. To commemorate the anniversary, publishers are releasing a greater than normal amount of books about our 16th President. One of the best new titles is Land of Lincoln: Adventures in Abe's America by Andrew Ferguson. As with many kids, Lincoln was one of Ferguson's childhood heroes, but it was not a passion he continued as an adult. Often funny, and frequently insightful, Land of Lincoln is a wonderful read about one man's journey to rediscover the magic of Lincoln.
Lincoln studies are never far from controversy. Thus, the book begins with a chapter on Lincoln Haters, many of whom protested the erection of a statue commemorating Lincoln's 1865 visit to Richmond, the capital of the former Confederacy. Ferguson also devotes chapters to the new Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln collectors, a group of Lincoln impersonators, and a workshop promoting Lincoln as inspiration for business leadership.
Ferguson's most important theme is how history must be a sensory and emotional experience. Despite what critics say, this does not have to be done at the expense of high interpretative standards. Interactive displays at the new Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum take visitors into Lincoln's world without sacrificing historical accuracy and scholarship.
The most interesting part of the book is Ferguson's account of a family road trip devoted to Lincoln sites. Having made a similar trip as a child with his parents forty years earlier, Ferguson eagerly wanted to rekindle memories of his youth. Much to his dismay, many of those sites have changed. He was most disappointed with the professionalism of the National Park Service and felt their preservation efforts made Lincoln's home in Springfield, Illinois too sterile. Many of his criticisms are valid, and NPS interpretative efforts have generated tremendous controversy around the country. But his attacks on the Park Service prevent Ferguson from seeing his own contradictions. Although, greatly impressed by the film which greets visitors at the Presidential Library, Ferguson thinks the Park Service production is "keeping with the assumption that no historical sight can be enjoyed by people who haven't seen a video of what they are about to enjoy. Just enjoying it, without preconditioning, is very pre-Nixon administration." To his credit, Ferguson finally admits he was looking for the places of his childhood, not necessarily the places where Lincoln lived and worked.
These minor criticisms do not change the fact that Ferguson has written an excellent book, and considering the amount of competition, a truly unique Lincoln book.

President Obama Slams Back: 'Gov. Romney Shoots First, Aims Later'
Speaking with 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft for an interview scheduled to air tonight, President Obama criticized GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney for politicizing the deadly consulate attack in Benghazi with incorrect claims.
"There's a broader lesson to be learned here," Obama said. "Gov. Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later and as president one of the things I've learned is you can't do that."
Romney came under fire today — even from members of his own party — for doubling down on statements he made yesterday suggesting the Obama administration was "sympathizing" with the attackers by allowing the embassy in Cairo to condemn the religious insult that allegedly sparked the protest rather than the violent protesters themselves.
The embassy's remarks, which were released in advance of the protests, were not authorized by the administration.
"It's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts," Obama told Kroft. "And that you've thought through the ramifications before you make them."

Big-hearted fundraisers have helped an appeal to raise cash for a severely disabled Doncaster youngster smash through the £50,000 barrier.
The countdown is now on to reach the £70,000 target needed to send Balby youngster William Moreland to the United States for a life-changing operation which will allow him to walk for the very first time.
And proud mum Michelle Gale admits she has been 'overwhelmed' by people who have rushed to back the campaign to help William, who suffers from spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy which means he cannot walk, cannot care for himself and has to use a wheelchair.
An operation known as Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy could help him take his first steps.
She said: "The response has been absolutely fantastic. So many people who I don't even know have come forward to do things and raise money.
"It all seemed such a long way away when we started the campaign but now it is getting closer I am starting to get excited."
The target for William, four, of Newbolt Road, Balby, was given a huge boost when an anonymous benefactor donated £35,000 - half the total needed - earlier this year.
The donation has allowed Michelle to move the date of the operation forward from next January to this October - and she says her son is beginning to realise that his life could soon change for the better, thanks to the massive fundraising drive.
She said: "He knows people are raising money to help make his legs better. I've told him the doctors over in America will do some special magic to help him walk and he won't be in pain and you can see what that means to him."
"It is amazing to think that in the next few months William's life will change for the better forever.
"People don't realise the daily struggles he has to go through, the pain he is in or how much of a challenge everything is," added Michelle, who stepped down from her job to devote her time to caring for her son.
The latest money spinner today will see Mexborough brain tumour survivor Donna Howley take on a 10-mile run in aid of the appeal as well as Sheffield based charity Neurocare.
She will be setting off from The Sportsman at 9am, accompanied by scores of other runners to draw in more cash.
She said: "I will be running alongside all of the pub's football team, even though my back and my leg keep going and I have been told to rest."

Ponterril solar project site plan approved
PITTSFIELD -- The proposed $20 million solar energy project at Ponterril has cleared its first local regulatory hurdle.
The city's Community Development Board unanimously approved a Con necticut-based company's site plan for a solar farm on the site of the Pittsfield Family YMCA's former recreation camp overlooking Pontoosuc Lake.
CTC Electric's final municipal step is to obtain a special permit from the Pittsfield Zoning Board of Appeals. The ZBA will hold a public hearing on the permit application May 16 at 7 p.m. in City Hall.
CTC wants to install the solar array on 22 acres of the 77-acre parcel on East Acres Road. It would generate three megawatts of electricity that would be sold and transported to Western Massachusetts Electric Co. as part of the power grid on North Street.
The proposal calls for cutting down trees within 100 feet on each side of the solar panels to eliminate any shade near the installation.
However, the project would have a minimum 50-foot buffer of tree-covered land along the border of the property to screen the solar array from the neighbors, according to project engineer James Scalise of SK Design in Pittsfield.
Scalise said the biggest buffer will front Ponterril, making the project aesthetically pleasing to homeowners living across the lake.
"About 300 feet of forest will remain untouched," he told the Community Development Board this week.
In addition, the solar panels will be facing in a south-southeasterly direction away from Pontoosuc. The site won't be lit at night.
If the project is approved and installed, the site would be off-limits for any other uses, including recreation. Electronic surveillance and a gated entrance would protect the installation.
The pool and existing deteriorating buildings from the former YMCA camp will be demolished and the site re-graded to make way for the solar panels.
CTC Electric would lease the site for $70,000 to $75,000 annually, according to Pittsfield Family YMCA officials. The planned agreement is for 20 years, with two, 10-year options for renewal.
While neighbors support the project, they want assurances the solar panels will be removed if the developer goes belly-up. Neighborhood spokesman Grier Horner asked, and the board agreed, that CTC put up a bond with Pittsfield to ensure money is available to pay for dismantling the solar array.
"We don't know if this company will be in business 10 years from now," Horner said. "We wish them all the success in the world and don't expect them to fall flat on their faces."
Ponterril hosting a solar farm is a departure from the YMCA's attempt to develop the site for housing the last seven years.
The first proposal called for 375 time-share units by a private developer, the last was for 93 residential units offered by the YMCA. While the board approved the smaller project in 2010, it failed to attract a potential builder, YMCA officials have said.

Remembrance (Transcend Time, #1)
By Michelle Madow / Genre: Historical Romance, Romance / Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars (135 reviews)
Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England … but she doesn't know it yet.
Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?

for web design is it really needed adobe PS cc or cs6, if I have FW cs6? For web design fireworks do the same job and more?
You don't need any Adobe tools for web design. They are handy, but not essential.
anyway all web design job of PS,... fireworks done it and more?
I have never used Photoshop. I did use Fireworks a number of years ago (before Adobe bought it from Macromedia) and it certainly did everything I wanted it for.
Why are you asking? If you're using Fireworks, surely you can judge for yourself whether it does everything you need it to do?
I had a similar question a while back, wondering whether to use Fireworks or Photoshop as I'd heard a few benefits of each one, everyone gave me some good advice here:
Someone informed me that Fireworks isn't been updated anymore so I've decided to try and pursue a course in Photoshop.
Yes, I've always intended to get into Fw a bit more, but the writing is on the wall for it now, so I won't be opening it again.
Never used anything Adobe, but it's certainly popular among people who know what they're doing much more than I, so I won't knock it.
I haven't run into anything I've needed to do that couldn't be accomplished with GIMP and Sublime Text, but that could just as easily be a failure of creativity on my part -- And I run into cool new toys I'm amazed I ever lived without just about every day (Only recently discovered Emmet to plug into my ST. Ooooooh.)
Yeah, me too. Ooooooh indeed!
I use Fireworks for slicing ,dicing and optimising as it is much more intuitive than PS (try cutting a section quickly in photoshop) and it does a better job at optimising images for the web.
However I also have to have photoshop because 99% of my work is converting from psd to html so I need to load the psds in photoshop to extricate the layers properly. Fireworks will handle psd files but often loses the layers which means you can't slice properly.
I don't do any graphic work at all apart from slicing and dicing so know nothing about how to draw using those packages apart from the very basics.
For mobile and web production, Fireworks streamlines your workflow.
Photoshop and Illustrator are design industry standard now. AfterEffects and inDesign would be solid assets as well. Both CC and CS6 are ok. I wouldnt recommend cs5 just because cs6 is a huge leap forward in terms of pixel perfect design and pretty much everything else.
So if you plan to ever start working in a big company i suggest you learn those, you are expected to work with sources from those programs. CC made "buying" those way easier so i d expect to get a full CC sub, everything else could be a pain to get considering software costs.
As for slicing — there are plenty of tools to do it in cs6. PNG Express would be a good thing to start with.Get familiar with layer comps in PS and art boards in IL and you are good to go.

Just a quick look at the Rangers' 25-man roster shows that a future Major League star can be drafted in just about every round. That includes the fifth round. The Rangers took both C.J. Wilson (2001) and Chris Davis (2006) in the fifth round. Michael Young was drafted in the fifth round by the Blue Jays back in 1997 out of the University of California Santa Barbara. He was later traded to the Rangers in 2000.Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler may go down as one of the greatest mid-to-late-round picks in Draft history. The Rangers took him in the 17th round in the 2003 Draft out of the University of Missouri. That's the same school where the Rangers found pitcher Doug Mathis in the 13th round in 2005. Kinsler was actually taken relatively quickly in 2003 compared to one of his teammates. The Rangers took Scott Feldman in the 30th round that year out of the College of San Mateo (Calif.). Derek Holland was a 25th-round pick in 2006 out of Wallace State CC in Alabama, but that was in the final year of the old "draft and follow." He signed right before the 2007 Draft when he would have been selected much higher than the 25th round. The Rangers estimate that he would have been taken in the fourth-seventh rounds. Probably the fifth. Other teams have had success in later rounds and the Rangers have benefited from their wisdom. Kevin Millwood was an 11th-round pick by the Braves in 1993 and Marlon Byrd was a 10th-round pick by the Phillies in 1999. Back in 1990, Eddie Guardado was a 21st-round Draft pick by the Minnesota Twins out of San Joaquin Delta (Calif.) Junior College. The Rangers had a shot at him, but took Tim Kubinski, a high school left-hander out of San Luis Obispo (Calif.) before Guardado in the 20th round. Presumably both had the same scouts looking at both of them. The Rangers didn't sign Kubinski and he was taken in the seventh round of the 1993 Draft out of UCLA by the Oakland Athletics. He is now working in the banking industry in his hometown of San Luis Obispo. Guardado is in his 17th Major League season. After 111 picks on Day 1 -- including Rounds 1, 2 and 3 and Compensation Rounds A and B, -- and rounds four through 30 on Wednesday, the Draft will conclude on Thursday with the 31st through 50th rounds, beginning at 10:30 a.m. CT.

Developer locates data speed-throttling code in iOS for AT&T, Verizon and Sprint devices
Date: Thursday, June 6th, 2013, 06:49
Category: iPad, iPhone, News, Software
You might not like this.
Per Joseph Brown's iTweakiOS and Cult of Mac, specialized code exists on iPhones and iPads operating on Verizon, AT&T and Sprint, which limits the devices' network settings to effectively caps data bandwidth.
Brown took snapshots of the iOS code managing the three carriers' network settings as applied to an iPhone 5, all of which appear to hamstring the handset's cellular data capabilities. For example, an AT&T iPhone 5 was limited to HSDPA "Category 10," which tops out at 14.4Mbps. The second-largest U.S. carrier's network is capable of supporting up to HSDPA+ speeds that reach 21.1Mbps.
As for Verizon, Brown found throttling code on the telecom's versions of the iPhone and iPad relating to its 4G LTE network. Sprint, it seems, does not have such limitations enabled for its high-speed data offerings. Apple devices running on the 3G networks owned by both Verizon and Sprint, however, are also affected by similar limitations.
Because Apple is in complete control of the code running all of its devices, it can be posited that the company instituted the bandwidth caps at the behest of its partner carriers.
"[…] from previous statements released by AT&T and many tech orginizations [sic], iPhones are very complex devices with a very complex OS," Brown writes. "The OS eats much more data, even when in idle mode, than most phones on the market. So by carrier request, Apple limits devices to 'even out' the network, even if it means Galaxy users out perform Apple devices by such large scales."
In his testing, Brown did not find evidence of throttling on devices operating on T-Mobile's network.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

Australia's PM offers to bridge climate gap
CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia's new prime minister, Kevin Rudd, has proposed to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao that Australia act as a bridge between China and the West on the issue of climate change.
He made the offer during a 20-minute telephone conversation in Mandarin after Wen called to congratulate him on his decision to ratify the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emissions.
Rudd, a former diplomat who speaks fluent Chinese, has made climate change one of his government's priorities, ratifying Kyoto on Monday within hours of being sworn in.
Wen had sought Rudd's cooperation in future climate change talks, the Australian national newspaper reported. A spokeswoman for Rudd confirmed the call to Reuters.
The United States refuses to ratify the Kyoto pact, arguing that it excludes major polluters China and India, whose developing economies are growing rapidly, and that placing emission restrictions on U.S. industry would damage its economy.
Australia's previous conservative government, unseated in the November 24 election, had refused to sign Kyoto for the same reasons.
Meanwhile, Rudd has played down reports that Australia would support a 25 to 40 percent target for cuts in greenhouse emissions by 2020, based on 1990 levels.
Australian newspapers said on Thursday Australian officials had signaled support for the targets during negotiations at the U.N. climate summit in Bali, which Rudd will attend next week.
Rudd has proposed a 60 percent cut in national carbon emissions by 2050, based on 2000 levels, but has said he would wait until next year, after receiving a report on the economic impact of targets, before setting a target for 2020.
Speaking on Thursday after his first cabinet meeting, Rudd said the 25-40 percent target had been proposed by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change earlier in the year, but Australia did not necessarily agree with it.
"States have ... indicated that they do not necessarily accept those targets, nor do they accept those targets as binding targets for themselves. That is also the position of the Australian government," Rudd told reporters.
"The reason for doing it in a methodical way which we've outlined is to ensure that those targets are meaningful environmentally, and responsible economically."

ATM Placard Bill Passes Senate, Advances to Obama's Desk
Credit unions received some good news from Capitol Hill late Tuesday when the Senate passed H.R. 4367, a bill that amends the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and removes the placard fee disclosure requirement that has spurred frivolous lawsuits against credit unions and other ATM owners.
The bill was passed by unanimous consent in the Senate after being passed by the House in July, and now moves to President Obama's desk for his signature.
Also passed by the Senate Tuesday was H.R. 4014, which would keep confidential the privileged information the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau receives from financial institutions. The privileged information law is already in place for bank and credit union regulators.
CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney said in a release that credit unions have been relieved of a frustrating regulatory burden.
"With today's Senate action, the way is clear for credit union ATMs to no longer have to carry a physical disclosure notifying consumers of the potential imposition of fees for the use of the machine," Cheney said. "Perhaps even more significantly, this measure represents a substantial realization of regulatory relief that will have an impact on every credit union that owns an ATM, while having no adverse effect on consumers."
NAFCU Vice President of Legislative Affairs Brad Thaler said in a release that his trade association is thrilled the bills have finally cleared all legislative hurdles.
"They are important to all financial institutions and we very much appreciate the Senate's action. We look forward to a quick enactment by the president," Thaler said.
