Blodgett Peak Restoration Project Tour
Wednesday, August 28, 2013
The City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services will conduct a tour of the Blodgett Peak Restoration Project on Thursday, August 29 at 1:00 p.m. The tour will include the unburned forest and proceed into the area burned by the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire. This commemorates one of the first properties to reopen to the public after the fire.
The project focused on three areas:
- Removal of dead tree hazards along trails
- Soil and erosion control
- Re-vegetation: reseeding and reforestation
City Parks and U.S. Forest Service crews have been working with Mile High Youth Corp to restore trails, remove hazardous trees and rehabilitate open spaces. Air Force Academy cadets assisted in installing log erosion barriers throughout the drainages in the open space. Rocky Mountain Field Institute completed fire restoration work on approximately 12 acres, focusing on minimizing erosion potential in burned soils and re-vegetating barren hill slopes.
The work is funded by grants from Great Outdoors Colorado and Pikes Peak Community Foundation, representing a total of $75,000. Additionally, McCloskey Motors raised funds from Colorado Springs residents for mitigation supplies and native seeds used for reseeding.
Where to meet: Blodgett Peak parking lot
From Colorado Springs, take I-25 north to the Garden of the Gods Exit. Exit west. Heading west, turn right at Centennial Boulevard. Head north on Centennial. After passing Vindicator Road, Centennial Blvd will turn into Woodmen Road. Continue on Woodmen Road, Blodgett Peak Open Space will be on the left-hand side of the road.
Parks Department vehicles will provide transportation to the trailhead.
Media Note: There will be several interview opportunities and great footage of the contrasting landscape with healthy vegetation bordering the Burn Scar. For more information and to schedule interviews, contact Krithika Prashant, Senior Communications Specialist at (719) 385-5242.

Trust still missing from mortgages
A former must-have investment for seekers of increased yield has become a pariah since the global financial crisis.
Falling interest rates are prompting investors to start looking beyond term deposits and at-call accounts to see if they can find assets that will pay a higher yield, without exposing them to much extra risk. Before the GFC, one of the investments on their shopping list would have been mortgage trusts.
However, mortgage trusts suffered heavy outflows during the GFC, as investors moved their money into guaranteed deposits. Most funds were forced to freeze or limit redemptions.
A Morningstar report published last month suggests things have not improved during the past five years.
''We believe that a mortgage trust is only compelling if there is sufficient premium above cash to justify the additional default risk and illiquidity of mortgages,'' research analyst Alex Prineas says. ''Over most time periods, the mortgage funds we assessed either underperformed the UBS bank bill index or delivered only a minuscule premium for added risks.''
Mortgage funds invest in a portfolio of loans secured by residential and commercial mortgages. Investors are paid a share of the interest on the loans, but face the risk loan defaults will reduce the return from the fund.
In the past, mortgage-fund managers paid redemptions on demand, but mortgages are illiquid assets and since the GFC, standard practice has been to provide only a certain amount of liquidity for redemptions each month or quarter. It can take time to get your money out.
A problem for the sector is that they have been in steady run-off since 2008. Funds under management fell 24 per cent in 2010 and 19 per cent last year. This constant outflow forces managers to hold more in cash than they would otherwise choose, reducing returns.
Morningstar looked at five funds. Three - Balmain Mortgage, Colonial First State Income and Perpetual Mortgage - are closed to new investment and will be wound up.
Of the other two, Prineas gave the Howard Mortgage Fund a negative rating because he considered the arrears rate to be high.
According to the fund's latest monthly report, 2.2 per cent of loans are in arrears. The Howard Mortgage Fund has paid a return of 3.6 per cent over the past year, which is well below what investors would have earned from high-yield savings accounts in the same period.
Morningstar gave the Australian Unity Mortgage Income Fund a neutral rating. However, the fund's September distribution was an annualised rate of 3.45 per cent. Over the past three years it has paid an average rate of 4.8 per cent a year.
SQM Research takes a more positive view. It says the sector has resolved many of the issues around redemptions. SQM increased its ratings for the La Trobe Australian Mortgage Fund.
It is important to note that a number of mortgage funds are classified by Morningstar as ''aggressive'', which means that they might provide property development loans, offer second mortgages, or lend on high loan-to-valuation ratios.
They might offer higher returns, but they also expose investors to higher risk.
In addition to large pooled funds, these companies may also sell investments in so-called contributory mortgage schemes - investors put their money into a single asset.
The difference changes the risk profile of the investment. In a large pool, a bad loan will have a marginal impact on returns, while in a contributory scheme, it might wipe out the whole investment.

June 28, 2005 > Newark Council Meeting - Thursday, June 23, 2005
Presentations and ProclamationsThe first scheduled meeting for the month of June was cancelled, but the meetings are now back in order. The meeting began with the introduction of newly hired police officer Samuel Ackerman to the council and the city of Newark. Next, a commendation was awarded to Daisy Troop 1315, a group of 5-year-olds who have participated in the One Bear Project. This group donated their own beloved animals and other toys to be given to "small hands and hearts" who need a fuzzy friend. The troop leader, Mary Forrest and other troops were present to receive the commendation. Firefighter Maurice Baker has been named Emergency Medical Technician of the Year and was also awarded a commendation.

Or > in a corporate environment, one can "fire them and prosecute". I definitely agree with that. Technical solutions must be adopted in case of technical problems, but technical solutions can't solve non-technical issues. Users sharing an account is not a technical issue, that's a social behavior, which has to be addressed via legal/political/educational measures. > Security costs cycles, and cycles are precious. It's also that security, from the academic users' standpoint, is a useless burden, which sits in their way most of times, and prevent them to do their work. At least that's often their perception. That's why education is so crucial, and helping them understand that the damn sysadmin who puts security checks everywhere is actually working on their side, to keep them safe, to improve their compute tools' uptime, and to prevent that the results of their computations get published before they even have a chance to retrieve their files. And usually, they care about that last one. > security in an environment where your office is down the hall from the > user's office, where the department chair and policy are on your side, > where you have clear ways to identify and punish misbehaving > individuals. Well, yes. But it may also happen that even though the department chair is on your side, punishing certain misbehaving individuals is not that easy... > Once somebody sitting in some internet cafe in Germany Eh! What about Germany? :) > A good systems manager is just a tiny notch this side of being a raving > paranoid. Perhaps a "muttering" paranoid. They only rave if they catch > you being bad, often carrying a sucker rod...:-) That's an issue too. The vigilance windows may be as wide as human resources allow, there will still be periods of time where nobody watches and were malicious users could do their bad things without being noticed. That's where technical measures can help, by limiting the damages a user can do, by restricting the scope of their actions (without preventing them to work either, remember that the main purpose of an HPC system is to produce computations results), and by notifying the sysadmin in case something fishy happens. Anyway, in the case we're talking about, technical solutions would definitely help containing the fire, but to prevent it being lit, there has to be some political will from the user side.

GEYSERVILLE, CA (Jan. 21, 2014) Accolade Wines announced today a new home for its Geyser Peak Winery and tasting room at the former Alderbrook property in Healdsburg, California. The new Geyser Peak location is near the intersection of Westside Road and Highway 101 – one of the busiest wine corridors in northern Sonoma County and within walking distance of bustling downtown Healdsburg.
The new site will initially house the Geyser Peak tasting room as well as its administrative offices. Light remodeling of the tasting room will begin shortly, with a grand opening tentatively scheduled for April, 2014. The current Geyser Peak tasting room in Geyserville will remain open until construction and remodeling of the new facilities are completed. Follow renovation highlights here.
"We are delighted to have found a new home for Geyser Peak that maintains its historic ties to Northern Sonoma County," noted Tim Matz, managing director for Accolade Wines North America. "With a new location secured, Geyser Peak is assured of its rightful sense of place well into the future."
This latest development for Geyser Peak is a part of a significant evolution and revitalization under the ownership of Accolade Wines, which acquired Geyser Peak in June, 2012 and has since made a major investment in the brand – from winemaking and production to promotional and sales initiatives and more. The brand has debuted refreshed packaging graphics with a new logo and a number of new wines that showcase the winery's exceptional vineyard resources and expertise with small-lot luxury wines. Geyser Peak has also expanded its core tier of California-appellated wines with the introduction of a California Pinot Noir last summer.
Founded in 1880 as California's 29th bonded winery by Augustus Quitzow, one of Sonoma County's pioneer winemakers, Geyser Peak boasts a legendary history of making ultra-premium wines. Today, under the direction of winemaker, it continues to be one of California's most lauded wineries, consistently recognized through awards and praise for its wines.

Regardless of whether or not you like it, the fact remains that tons of folks are actually using this module so if you can make it easier to use, that's a plus. Also, think of the work involved in making eval automatically die. In this case, I think the UNIVERSAL::require code is actually simpler.
eval "use $module";
die $@ if $@;
That's hard? I gotta say, I'm really leery of adding more methods to UNIVERSAL::. There has to be a good reason and I kind of think UNIVERSAL::require might be a bad done. Maybe no one should have ever used that. ->require is at best, a class method and not something you'd want to be valid on an object. ->require is at best... maybe something that falls within the scope of something like Class::MOP.
Agreed, it should be that simple, but frankly, if I'm working on a rotten code base with this
open FH, 'somefile.txt';
... the I want this
use Fatal qw<
:void open close >;
... or at least this
use Fatal qw< open close >;
And frankly, this isn't really that bad. Yes, it would be far better if people explicitly checked the return calls. On the other hand, if done properly, these are exceptional events that should rarely occur. Thus, the occasional problem with having a less t

Slovak tennis player Daniela Hantuchova moves from Prince to rocket Völkl products company. Unofficial rumors from several foreign websites (such as Tennis Warehouse) and fan forums confirmed the agency SITA person from near 27-year native of Poprad. But change is not yet contractually caught.
Hantuchova on medical grounds - for problems with calf and Achilles tendon - will miss out on next week's WTA tournament in Melbourne, Australia, but its start in Sydney and the Melbourne Grand Slam Australian Open (January 17 to 30) pre is not compromised.

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by jonRF, Jul 5, 2009.
If you know Cecil Mamiit what racket does he use ?:?
MicroGel Extreme Pro, real one I think (he used to use PD, so it might be a custom like Ljubicic), PHT mains, Gut Crosses
What strings are those... obviously it is a hybrid. But what is it... It looks like what i have on my extreme, babolat pro hurricane tour and gamma asterix.
On that racquet he was using Lux BB 1.30 on the mains and Sonic Pro 17g on the cross.
He now uses Babolat Pure Drivr + with ALU Spin on the mains and ALU Power on the crosses.
Very good. You are very correct. I can't remember the exact tension but his crosses are 2lbs higher than mains. I want to say 44/46 but I can't remember exactly. Don't forget the light blue matching rubber band.
Why would he string it that low? i know that it gives you a trampoline effect but at some point in time wouldn't the tension not matter and you would still get the same effect?
Also wouldn't you lose control if it was that low... and does it damage the frame because it is below the reccomended tension.
before you all make fools of yourselves....
I have a good friend of mine who i play college ball with who will be playing davis cup with cecil for the phillipines in 4 weeks. I will let you know what he plays with as I am also very interested and have let my friend know my interest, Details should follow soon. be patient.
I don't understand how I would be making a fool of myself. I know Cecil personally. I have touch/strung/hit with his racquet.
I believe he was using gut cross as of end of May in Carson.
I agree with chrisplchs. Why would we be making a fool of ourselves, and would you care to explain why?

The Point Park University baseball program received special recognition from Green Tree Borough, the site of the Pioneers' home field of Green Tree Park, with the passing of Resolution #1184 at the Borough Council Meeting on Oct. 1, 2012.
The Point Park baseball team, which finished fifth at the NAIA World Series in May 2012, was recognized as a "role model for success in the community," as described in the resolution signed by Mayor C.F. Hammer and presented by Borough Councilman Arthur Tintori.
Point Park baseball head coach Loren Torres and Director of Athletics Dan Swalga were on hand at the Oct. 1 meeting to accept the recognition.
Point Park had an outstanding season in 2012, and it added to the rich history of success for Pioneers baseball. The Pioneers set a school record for wins with a final record of 53-11 and reached the NAIA World Series for the 11th time in school history. Point Park is tied for fourth all-time in the NAIA for World Series berths.
Green Tree Park has been the site of Point Park's home field since the fall of 2010, when the Pioneers became the main tenant of the facility located near Parkway Center Mall. In the fall of 2011, the scoreboard in right field was renovated to designate it as the home field of Point Park University baseball with school name and athletic logo.
Point Park has a record of 34-8 at Green Tree Park in two seasons playing home games there.

text: This is the WIP & Info thread for the New Haven Chronicles. Before I get to the art, I'm going to cover some of the back story that sets up the universe as well as some of the key factors which drive the plot and action of the story. If you just want cool pics, then skip to the end of this post, because this is going to take a while. The New Haven Chronicles is a military science fiction action-drama, set in 2264. The series takes a realistic approach towards the military space opera genre and in many cases often approaches hard science fiction. For example, there are no aliens, no FTL travel, and humanity has yet to move beyond the inner asteroid field. The entire series unfolds within the inner solar system, treating the vast distances between Earth and Mars as what they truly are...vast distances. Unfolding in space as well as on Earth, Luna, and Mars, New Haven is the story of an Alliance of Solar Corporations attempting to maintain their technological and economical superiority, while the United Nations asserts its growing independence. Humanity has been dependent on the Corporations for much of the advances beyond Luna, including the proliferation of fusion technology upon which both sides of the conflict rely heavily. However now that the UN is beginning to stand on its own, the Alliance fears losing everything it has worked so long and hard to build. But that's hardly a reason for war and both sides realize there is far more at stake than just economic independence. During their time in space, the Alliance has developed into a free and separate society, independent of Earth and the remainder of humanity. They look down on their Earth born brethren, even though prolonged living in space has brought on a waisting degenerative illness to many within the Alliance. And now, with their lives on the line and the risk of their society dying out, the Alliance is pressing the issue of returning home on their own terms...among other goals. The series takes its name from the artificial island, New Haven, built in the 21st century by the Pax Corporation as a corporate headquarters and location to test viable fusion technology. Located off the coast of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic, (specifically over the Flemish Cap) and now occupied by the UN, regaining control of the island is of little strategic importance for the Alliance, but remains an issue that could make or break the morale of each side. The New Haven Chronicles begins with the book Orbital Decay, taking place more than a year into the conflict. By this time, the UN's fuel reserves are dwindling and with an Alliance blockade preventing trade with the neutral Corporations, the UN is facing a ticking clock. Time is running out and everyone knows that soon, the vast UN war machine will come grinding to a halt. All the Alliance must do is wait them out, despite those within the Alliance that want to push their superiority over the UN. As these two forces fight for control within the Alliance, the UN realizes that if drastic actions are not taken, they will soon find themselves on the bitter end of Corporate Rule. New Haven, is foremost a military drama. I've done my best to create what I believe to be a realistic depiction of a real United Nations military force which might exist in the future. With that comes the discipline and duty that make the military what is, requiring those that serve to follow a strict code of conduct. This is my way of saying that some things we're familiar with, won't happen in New Haven. There will be no crazy accession of ranking promotions, as a mere grunt steps up to command an entire army. One person will not decide the fate of the entire conflict. People will be transfered while others will die. In many ways, I like to think of this as a sci-fi version of Band of Brothers & Generation Kill, both of which have served as heavy influences in the style and themes that I plan to convey.. Second, playing a less prominent role, though still important, is the role of technology. New Haven assumes that a number of technologies exist without the inherent dire circumstances that are often associated with them. For example, wide spread genetic manipulation and alteration is common, particularly among the Alliance. Advanced Artificial Intelligence is common as well and several Sentient AI's play a prominent role in the story, with one such AI being a main character. In other areas, it may seem as though certain technologies have progressed very little. For example, each side makes use of laser and rail gun technology, but both technologies are plagued with strategic limitations and far from the common style of rapid firing battles we're used to seeing. There will be no scenes of ships closing to point blank range as each ship beats it's opponent mercilessly with ungodly amounts of weapons fire. And that in part is what the first image posted below represents. Dynamic Orbital Combat. To put it briefly, ever ship orbits a planet or moon, and in doing so is distinctively guided by that orbit in terms of how their weapons can be deployed. Slowing your speed and moving into a higher orbit will extend your orbital duration and the amount of time you can engage a target. Likewise, moving into a lower orbit and increasing your speed will shorten your orbit, making it much more difficult to engage your target or be engaged by that target. Distances are also an issue, but combating distances and their orbits is a whole separate post, which will be explained later. Needless to say, distances matter and it takes time for your weapons to get from your line of fire to the target you're shooting at. Because it takes time and many weapons are line of sight, if your enemy moves during that time, which your enemy is always doing, then you miss. Sensors: the base sensor system for both sides is an advanced LIDAR system, couple with several other sensor specific systems to determine life signs and various other details. There is no stealth in the traditional sense. When you move, everyone sees it. Electronic Counter measures exist however, which allow both sides to use decoys, sensor shadows and silhouettes to trick LIDAR systems. So rather than hiding outright, your sensor signature may appear larger or smaller than it actually is. This is adventurous when launching large numbers of missiles, the primary means of offensive weapons in use by both sides. Both sides use multiple independent targetable warhead missiles...like ICBMs as their primary offensive weapon. Each warhead carries a nuclear powered x-ray laser. Each side deploys various CIWS to defeat the warheads before they burn a hole in their hull. There are no space fighters in this series. There are however UAV sensor drones deployed from ships. Additionally, each side makes use of a vast number of unmanned vehicles, ranging from air superiority fighters down to heavy armored units and light support units. There is more...much more that I could get into, but I don't want to try and skim over everything in one post. My primary goal with the New Haven Chronicles, is to create a living and breathing universe, in which almost any type of story could be told. More than anything, I want this series to serve as a vehicle for telling military and technology driven science fiction, but that by no means limits what can or might be done in the future. I even envision at some point in the future, taking a page from Star Trek:TNG and after this particular conflict is over, progressing in time to some future point and beginning a new series set in this universe...perhaps war/action/drama driven, or perhaps more exploratory in nature. Who knows. It's just ideas at this point. Anyway, as I mentioned previously, the first book in this series is title Orbital Decay, and it's my hope to have it ready for sale by the end of the year. I'm in the second draft right now and working my way through the first round of revisions. If any of this sounds interesting, then I hope you'll tune in and follow along. I think it's going to be an interesting ride. That's a lot to get through, so here's a map. Everyone loves map. More to come soon.

If you're feeling left out because you're not among the top 1 percent of the wealthiest people in our country, American's Repertory Theatre's witty, saucy, and ultimately moving production of "Marie Antoinette" will puncture that myth for you. You can be relieved of the awful burden!
If you're feeling left out because you're not among the top 1 percent of the wealthiest people in our country, American's Repertory Theatre's witty, saucy, and ultimately moving production of "Marie Antoinette" will puncture that myth for you. You can be relieved of the awful burden!
You won't need to hear more than the first few lines of David Adjmi's play to realize that it deftly weaves the shallow, self-absorbed life of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI at Versailles with the shallow, self-absorbed life of our own society at its worst.
The play's language is modern and hip and the music between several early scenes is a lively hip-hop, while the story and elegant costumes are more or less historical, when they're not parodying themselves. It gives us a chance to laugh and cringe at ourselves without feeling overly embarrassed.
Marie and her two friends eating pastries and tea for breakfast in the opening scene could be gossiping Valley Girls, if it weren't for the frilly dresses that swallow them up, their beehive hairdos rising heavenward, and the servants hovering over them.
"You're so Austrian," one friend says to Marie, who indeed was shipped from Austria at the age of 14 to be King Louis' wife. Obviously, those weren't the actual words used at Versailles, but no doubt the attitude was similar.
In the opening scene, we also get hints of what will eventually make the show deeper and more heartfelt than the series of "Saturday Night Live" skits it tends to become throughout the first act. Marie has dispensed with her bone corset, and she complains about feeling as if she's pressed between two glass slides. What she really wants to be is the free butterfly that her lover, Axel Fersen, sees her as, and which she attempts to embody in a few ballet steps as her courtesans help her change clothes. The real strength of the play is the chance to experience what Marie feels and faces and to empathize with her, which comes mostly in the second act.
Meanwhile, it's the wit and cleverness that sustains the play until it begins to drag as it approaches intermission. Marie constantly skewers King Louis, who was not giving her children, and instead acts like a child himself, towing a gold wagon of timepieces that fascinate him. "Has it never occurred to you to run France?" Marie says to him.
Some of the most clever and charming moments involve a horse straight from a carousel that is wheeled up to Marie and she hops on, and a flock of puppet sheep that an actor manipulates and speaks for, at one point crudely enough to be intentionally disturbing.
The show, a co-production with Yale Repertory Theater and well directed by Rebecca Taichman, hits its stride when the French turn against their king and queen, represented expressionistically by a mountain of coal falling on Marie. In an exquisitely lit and excruciating scene, a revolutionary soldier demands all of the jewelry she's wearing. After handing it over, all she can say is, "Who will pour my bath?" That says it all. As does a scene in which Marie and Louis are captured as they ask farmers whether windmills are merely for beauty or actually do something.
Brooke Bloom does well, as a good, young actor should, at portraying Maria Antoinette's hip, superficiality and her desire for something more. But her performance soars when she explores the emotional depths of Marie being stripped of everything she has known. This finally becomes theater that will fully engage you.
Steven Rattazzi portrays Louis XVI as a lost and self-absorbed child, but doesn't get a chance to show what he can do as an actor. Andrew Cekala, a young actor from Weston who plays the Dauphin, makes Marie's end all the more tragic as he can't fully comprehend what they are facing.
As expected, "Marie Antoinette" exposes uber-wealth and power as not all they're cracked up to be. It shows Marie and Louis as more or less helpless pawns in an evolving society. But most of all it makes us feel for Marie as a fellow human being rather than want to call for her head.

Michael Jackson's estate will pay what are being called "extraordinary" expenses for the pop singer's funeral, attorneys and a judge said Wednesday.
Los Angeles Superior CourtJudge Mitchell Beckloff authorized the current administrators of Jackson's estate to pay for Jackson's funeral and interment, which are scheduled for Thursday evening.
MORE ACCESS ON THESE TOPICS: Michael Jackson - Deaths - Music - TV One
Attorneys for Jackson's mother, Katherine, had asked the judge to sign off on the expenses, which have not been disclosed.
No one contested who would pay the costs, but Beckloff said he had concerns about whether Jackson's estate could afford it.
Jeryll Cohen, an attorney for the administrators of Jackson's estate, said the costs will be paid. She said the debt-ridden estate has enough cash to pay for the funeral.
"The expenses are extraordinary, however, Michael Jackson was extraordinary," Cohen said.
Few details about the service have been disclosed. Cohen said during the hearing that part of the reason it was so expensive was because 12 burial spaces were being bought.
Beckloff said normally, costs of a funeral would be paid by the estate after the service. But Jackson's family couldn't afford to pay the costs upfront and wait for reimbursement.
Jackson is scheduled to be interred in a mausoleum at Forest Lawn Glendale, which is about eight miles north of downtown Los Angeles. He will be placed in the Great Mausoleum, where he'll join Hollywood legends such as Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, W.C. Fields and Red Skelton, as well as "The Last Supper Window," a life-size stained glass recreation of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece.

text: inTank Posted March 1, 2012 We are having a special coupon code for March at inTank. The coupon code = JASON February 11th I lost my brother who was only 26 years young. He passed away in his bed after having an epileptic seizure. He was in no pain, would have no recollection of death and was alone in his apartment at about 12pm that Saturday. Worried after not hearing from him all day my father and I broke into the door at about 8 PM. Along with my mother found him in bed. We were together as a family, I don't wish this on anyone but was glad we were all there to discover the tragic event. My brother Jason battled epilepsy since he was diagnosed at the age of 8. At first he would space out and we were all confused, young I called him names . As he aged they became worse and was having your typical grand mal seizure. He never let it get in the way, most of his very close friends never knew. He went to college to study television and got his degree. He moved out to LA and worked a few jobs on some pretty cool projects. To him it wasn't the fame it was the thrill of the job. He moved back home in 2009 after it got too expensive with his medical bills and the outrageous rent in Hollywood. He was an employee at inTank building and packaging product. Then he got a job producing evening news in Rockford, IL. This was always his dream. Rockford is a small market and Jason was always looking for the next big step. He finally got a job at our local Fox station in Milwaukee November 2011 producing the morning news show. This is a big market and a huge opportunity for him. Sadly it didn't last but 3 months but in that time he touched the entire team at WITI. When my brother was in grade school on to high school he performed with a group called Accompany of Kids. They are a song and dance group that perform to all kinds of music. They have a big show in March and then travel around the State performing at various events. Jason helped as much as he could with the group even after going to college and moving on to the professional world. He touched everyone in a positive way since he had such a positive attitude. He was the glue that stuck any group together. 1400 people attended his funeral service from all over the world, it was a testament to his character. A lot of flowers, cards and donations were given. Over $3000 was donated to The Accompany of Kids. I don't want to stop there. This month please use the coupon code JASON when shopping at inTank. We will be matching all discounts associated with this coupon and donating that to The Accompany of Kids. Thank you Steve Taggart President inTank, LLC We'll shoot some deer in heaven bud Share this post Link to post

Middlebrooks feels fine after wrist scare
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
BRADENTON, Fla. -- The Red Sox had a victory before they even took the field for batting practice on Thursday morning.
Third baseman Will Middlebrooks was given a clean bill of health after a scare on Wednesday night, when he had to leave the game with discomfort in the right wrist he fractured last season.
"I'm fine," said Middlebrooks. "Same as last night. [I was] just scared. It scared me. I felt just an awkward feeling, awkward movement of the wrist. It was the initial zing of pain and that was it. I expect to be fine. I'm fine right now. I could have swung a bat last night."
Not only was Middlebrooks pain-free, but he is expected to return to the lineup as soon as Friday night, when the Red Sox host the Pirates at JetBlue Park.
"He'll be day to day until he takes BP, which should be tomorrow," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "Our plan right now is that he would be able to go tomorrow, but we'll just be sure he comes through BP without any issue."
After Farrell's morning update, Middlebrooks actually did take batting practice back in Fort Myers, and he reported no ill effects.
Middlebrooks received an examination as soon as he arrived at the ballpark on Thursday.
"His exam this morning was benign," said Farrell. "He didn't feel any discomfort when he was put through a battery of tests and he's actually been cleared for all baseball activities, but I'm sure he's going to take the day to just let it rest. But given the way he came out after the swing, it was obviously very good news this morning."
Not just good news for Middlebrooks, but also for the Red Sox. Third base is not a position of strength in the organization.
If something serious happened to Middlebrooks, Boston's only current alternatives are utility players such as Pedro Ciriaco, Brock Holt or Drew Sutton. That is, unless the club took the bold step of rushing top prospect Xander Bogaerts to the Majors.
When Middlebrooks broke his wrist last August, the Red Sox really had nowhere to go. And his absence was just one of many reasons the team struggled mightily down the stretch.
"Well, when you get into the depth behind Will, we're looking at a more utility-like guys rather than someone who would profile at that position long term," said Farrell. "We're confident with the people in camp. There's no additions in camp that are being contemplated or imminent. That's kind of where we are."
If Middlebrooks can stay healthy this season, he could have a big impact on the team's hopes at contending for a postseason spot.
"We're talking about a guy who is just in the stages of what looks to be a very productive career," said Farrell. "A 24-year-old guy who can hit with power, hit with average. He certainly lengthens out our lineup with a right-handed power bat. We're counting on him for upward of 150 games. Barring injury, that's the type of player he is."
All spring, Middlebrooks has maintained that his wrist is fine, and he feels the same strength in his hand as he did before the injury was sustained in Cleveland in August. He still feels that way, even after Wednesday's scare.
"That was my third game, and I hadn't check-swung," Middlebrooks said. "Normal swings felt fine. Normal check swings will probably be fine, too. I just got caught in between and it was just awkward all around."
Middlebrooks can understand why there might have been some panic in Red Sox Nation.
"I saw it this morning [on video]," Middlebrooks said. "It didn't look good. It just freaked me out. It was just a weird feeling. I didn't want to take a chance with it because of the history of that wrist."
The Red Sox were equally mindful, which is why Thursday's morning report was so encouraging.
"Well, at the time of the swing, it wasn't real encouraging," Farrell said. "Given what he came through with the fracture a year ago, I can understand that he was a little tentative and probably a little scared. Fortunately this morning things checked out OK.
"He was checked out by a specialist today, a hand specialist. Based on his clinical exam, [the specialist] didn't feel like X-rays or MRI were warranted. There was nothing structural that was revealed in the physical testing he went through. Had there been any kind of discomfort, we certainly would have taken him for imaging but at this point, that wasn't recommended by the doctors."
Now, Middlebrooks can just get back to the process of preparing for his sophomore season in the Majors.

CALGARY — Canada's known natural gas reserves continue to decline even though a record number of wells were drilled in 2003, the energy industry announced Thursday.
In its annual estimate of energy reserves, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers said natural gas reserves declined by 2.5 trillion cubic feet by the end of last year, to 56.6 trillion cubic feet. A major factor in the decline was a decision by Alberta's energy regulator to lower the gas estimates by 7.5 trillion cubic feet for thousands of small single-well pools that had little or no production.
The numbers were also affected by a major writedown in reserves at the Sable Offshore Energy Project – the only producing gas site off Canada's East Coast.
More than 70 per cent of the gas wells drilled in 2003 were in shallow pools located in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Although only 59 per cent of gas production was replaced last year, more gas was found in both Saskatchewan and B.C., where replacement rates were 261 per cent and 120 per cent, respectively.
"The exploration is pushing into the northern part of B.C. and I don't think that's a surprise to anybody," said Greg Stringham, CAPP's vice-president of markets.
Stringham said Alberta is turning into a "very large development play."
"A lot of the pools have been found, but they're getting the gas out of there better than they were in the past."
According to CAPP, Canada is the third largest natural gas producer in the world and by far the largest supplier of gas to the huge U.S. market.
But conventional supplies have been waning for several years now, forcing energy companies to drill more wells for less reserves, all the while searching for new gas pools in more remote and harder to access areas like northeastern B.C. and the Mackenzie Delta in the Northwest Territories.
Martin King, a commodity analyst with Calgary-based FirstEnergy Capital, said the report merely reinforces beliefs that North America's natural gas supply situation remains tight.
"There's a little bit less proven reserves out there than there was the previous year and everyone knows that supplies are looking tight going forward," he said.
"This is just another piece of the puzzle that certainly could help sustain prices for the longer term here."
And the longer prices remain high for gas, it improves the economics of major new projects like the $7-billion proposed pipeline to ship gas southwards from the Canadian Arctic.
At least two new projects on Canada's East Coast are also moving ahead to build re-gassification terminals that would allow for imports from countries like Russia and Algeria to enter North America.
Another area that could boost Canada's gas reserves in the future is unconventional supplies like those found in coalbed methane, or gas caught in coal seams.
With numerous energy companies drilling for coalbed methane this year, Stringham expects companies to start booking the reserves for the first time. But because coalbed methane is still in its infancy in Canada, it's hard to say how big an impact that will have.
The CAPP report also said Canada's crude oil reserves rose slightly in 2003 to 12 billion barrels as more projects came on stream in the northern Alberta oilsands.
Oilsands now represent 61 per cent of Canada's total known oil reserves and that figure is expected to continue increasing in the future as a whole array of multi-billion dollar mining projects are built.

Garden Talk: May 5, 2014
From NGA Editors
Red Swan Bush Beans
Edible landscaping is a concept that's here to stay. No longer is the food garden relegated to a rectangle of plants in straight rows tucked into an out-of-the-way spot in the backyard. Gardeners, especially those with limited space, are reaping a visual ″harvest″ as well as an edible one of fruits and veggies by incorporating their food plants into attractive beds and containers, mixing them in with ornamental plants, and placing them in the front yard or on a deck or patio, not just the ″back forty.″
So it's no surprise that we gardeners are on the lookout for varieties of veggies that do double duty in our landscapes. Even the humble bush bean can contribute eye-catching color when you grow 'Red Swan' bush beans. The 4-5 inch long, flat pods of these stringless snap beans are a beautiful rosy-purple color, making an effective contrast with the green leaves as they hang on the plant. When cooked, the pods change to bright green. Bred from a cross between a purple snap bean and a pinto bean and growing 12-15″ tall, 'Red Swan' is ready for picking in just 54 days.
Like all beans,'Red Swan' will do best when planted in warm soil when all danger of frost is past. Make several small plantings every few weeks in succession for continued garden color and a delectable harvest all summer long.
For more information on 'Red Swan' bush beans, go to High Mowing Organic Seeds. (Image courtesy of National Garden Bureau).
Sweet Orange Impatiens
Impatiens has long been a favorite choice for all summer color in the shade garden. But unfortunately in the past few years a new disease called downy mildew of impatiens has decimated plantings in many parts of the country. First observed in this country in 2004, it has reached epidemic proportions in recent years, causing many gardeners to rethink their use of what used to be considered an easy-care plant.
Fortunately for impatiens lovers, there are some types that are not affected by downy mildew. While all types of garden impatiens (Impatiens walleriana) are affected, New Guinea impatiens (I. hawkeri), including SunPatiens®, are not affected. Which makes Impatiens New Guinea Florific™ Sweet Orange, a 2014 All-America Selections National Bedding Plant Award winner, a great choice for brightening up a shady spot in your landscape.
'Sweet Orange' produces masses of large, bicolored flowers in a unique mix of colors from light salmon to deep orange that stand out against bronzy foliage. Plants naturally develop good branching on a mounded plant, so they work well planted in masses in garden beds as well as in containers. An ideal location will provide morning sun and afternoon shade, but plants are adaptable to a variety of conditions. And they will flower until frost without falling prey to downy mildew. Look for 'Sweet Orange' in local garden stores this spring.
New Guinea impatiens are heat-lovers, so wait until nights are reliably above 45-50 degrees F before setting plants outside. Give them consistently moist but not soggy soil and fertilize lightly but regularly.

Pop in a Winterberry
Winterberry, a deciduous member of the Holly clan, is popular for adding fall and winter color to the landscape with its bright red berries. But most varieties of Ilex verticillata are large shrubs, too big for many space-challenged gardeners to use -- especially since these dioecious plants need a non-fruiting male pollinator planted nearby in order for the female plants to produce their colorful berries.
Now small-space gardeners can enjoy winterberry with the compact combo of Berry Poppins and Mr. Poppins from Proven Winners. Growing only 3-4 feet tall and wide, these compact cultivars can be tucked into landscapes both small and large. Berry Poppins, the female selection, bears a heavy crop of berries that form in late summer and become a landscape focal point when the shrub's leaves drop in fall. Equally compact Mr. Poppins provides the pollen necessary for the show. One male plant is sufficient to pollinate at least 5-6 female plants nearby.
While many bird species will dine on winterberries, they are not a favored choice because of their low fat content and are usually not eaten until late winter when other higher fat choices have been consumed. This lets you enjoy a long stretch of winter color and help out your feathered friends as well! And while the small white flowers in late spring are not very showy, they are attractive to honeybees and other pollinators.
Hardy in zones 3-9, winterberry does best in moist, acidic soil high in organic matter in full to part sun, but it's quite adaptable. Because it can take wet as well as drier soil, it's a great choice for a rain garden planting.

Spotlight on Youth Gardens: Chicago Youth Center
In a crime-ridden neighborhood in Chicago, the Chicago Youth Center's (CYC) Sunshine Garden, a recipient of the National Gardening Association's 2014 Youth Garden Grant, provides a safe haven for young gardeners and their families. Located next to the ABC Polk Brothers Community Center in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, the garden was once a vacant lot filled with garbage and overgrown vegetation. Now in its fourth year, the Sunshine Garden, with help of National Gardening Association's youth garden grants, has grown from just 15 participants in 2012 to over 70 children and teens actively working in the garden space.
The program connects garden activities with academic enrichment, making direct connections to core subject areas while engaging youth in growing food, composting, vermicomposting, and learning to effectively use the garden space. ″Programs provided by CYC support youth and their family members. These programs include licensed Head Start and after-school programs, summer residential and day camp experiences, in addition to a full menu of teen programs,″ says Kimberly George, CYC's garden coordinator. ″The CYC youth garden is a project adopted by the entire center.″
The garden space includes two bookcases up-cycled into raised beds where participants have successfully grown zucchini, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, lettuce, cilantro, and an assortment of flowers. New additions to the garden include a dedicated ″digging area″ for young children, and a strawberry patch. A butterfly garden was also added recently, and last year a butterfly was spotted at the Sunshine Garden for the first time! In effort to bring more pollinators to the space, a native wildflower garden is planned for this year.
CYC has recently received the honor of being a certified "City of Chicago Community Garden" and will be featured on a tour of community gardens in August 2014. Learn more about the Sunshine Garden through their Facebook page.

I figure that a good way to introduce myself is with a story or several: In this case, general Star Trek Original Series stories that don't fit into one of my two main storylines. Feedback is loved, but never required. Hope you enjoy! -- Title: Not Too Soon Series: ST:TOS Pairing: Sarek/Amanda Timeline: 2232 Words: 634 Disclaimer: They all belong to Paramount, not me. Notes: This was written for KlingonVulcan on the Omega Sector -- Sarek reflects on how fatherhood didn't quite turn out how research suggested. -- When it had been officially confirmed that his wife was with child, Sarek had immediately started familiarizing himself with the duties of fatherhood. His first course of research was about the most basic of necessities; nutrition, proper clothing, toileting, potential infant illnesses or injuries, everything that would insure that the newborn would be cared for in the most thorough means possible. His second course of research was about child development. The milestones he could expect the child to reach, and at what age the child would reach them; the most well-researched methods for raising a Vulcan child in a way that would insure success. What games of reason to introduce at what age, what the best way was to provide a safe, stimulating environment where the infant's natural curiosity could be fostered without undue risk. Sarek had been confident, when Spock was born, that he would be entirely prepared for any course of events. He had researched everything of even partial relevance to child-rearing, determined to make no mistakes. "I cannot wait until you go to bed," Amanda was saying to their son. Her hair was disheveled, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes. Despite that, however, there was a look in her eyes that Sarek had come to recognize as exasperated good-humor. "Nooooooo!" Spock replied, a loud, wavering, happy squeal, as he turned and ran on still-awkward legs. None of the appropriate clothes Sarek had so carefully researched adorned his form; the one-and-a-half year old ran naked without shame. Sarek had just returned home from a day in his office, and took stock of the scene that had become worryingly familiar. Several pots and pans were laying on the kitchen floor, some of them nested and some of them just strewn around. There were also a number of utensils, in a configuration that had no discernible logic, to go with them. Several cabinets were ajar. In the sitting area, Spock's toys were likewise everywhere. Logical toys that were meant to appeal to his senses; puzzles that were intended to develop his problem-solving skills, mess-free drawing boards meant to foster his creativity. None of those seemed to be used for their intended purpose. Instead, Spock would take them and attempt to use them as a ladder with which to climb and reach things that were put up specifically to be out of his reach. When Sarek had researched, no texts had mentioned this chaos. No article warned that a new toddler's favorite, and sometimes only word would be 'no!' No amount of reading could have prepared him for this. Now that the threat of bed had faded, Spock came around the corner of a chair with a pre-lingual sound of joy, crashing whole-body into Sarek's formal robes and then clutching them so that he wouldn't fall. Then he looked up at his father with a wide, unabashed smile and sighed happily. There were many times when Sarek felt his control being tested, beyond anything he had ever quite expected. Moments where he knew that, if he allowed himself to, he would get intensely frustrated with the sheer chaos that seemed to reign from the time Spock opened his eyes, to the time he fell asleep. Amanda sometimes reflected that frustration, as she chased their strong, young son around the house in an attempt to clothe and diaper him. Sarek was amazed at her patience, and considered it extremely admirable. He rested a hand on the top of his son's head, and looked at his wife, defaulting to ancient wisdom in face of the trials they were currently facing. "This too shall pass." But even in her obvious weariness and exasperation, he also understood when she replied, "Hopefully not too soon."

Bernard Tomic caught speeding, loses licence
Tennis star Bernard Tomic has lost his licence after speeding on the Gold Coast.
Queensland Police said that a 20-year-old man was caught speeding at 78km/h in a 60km/h zone. Tomic was travelling eastward on Salerno Street on the Isle of Capri at the time.
He was caught by an unmarked police car at 10.25am on Tuesday morning. It is believed he was travelling in his bright yellow Ferrari.
The Queensland Police spokeswoman said Tomic was issued with a standard $220 infringement notice, with the loss of three demerit points.
Tomic was driving on a 12-month good behaviour licence, which only has one demerit point, because of a string of prior traffic offences.
The loss of his licence is the latest in a string of incidents for the tennis star.
In January last year, Tomic was issued three $300 traffic fines on the one day while driving in Broadbeach, on the Gold Coast, and he claimed a police officer wanted to hit him. Tomic was later found guilty of failing to stop for police, was fined $750, and given a 12-month good behaviour bond.
In October, Tomic and a friend got into a fight at a Gold Coast spa. Tomic is then alleged to have turned on the police who arrived to break up the fight.
In December, Tomic was suspended from Australia's opening Davis Cup tie in Taiwan due to Tennis Australia's concern over his off-court behaviour. He was also accused of tanking in the third set of his match against Andy Roddick at the US Open.
Tomic was Australia's top-ranked player until October but has slipped in world rankings from 27 to 52.
But Tomic looked to have turned the corner in 2013 after a impressive start to new tennis season. He won his first ATP title at the Sydney International before suffering his first loss of the summer, succumbing to Roger Federer in three sets in the Australian Open third round.

Let me first make it crystal clear that I have read the archived material on Vampires. There is no need, for my sake, to repeat what has been said before. I have practically commited it to memory. :p This is a new line of questioning, and I would welcome the thoughts of all those who contributed to the earlier threads or anyone else who cares to speak up.
I am trying to establish a realistic but cannon concept of vampires in the magical world.
My new questions:
1.)Vampire societies? What would they be like? The idea of a werewolf packs seem to be a given in fan fiction (with exceptions), but what about Vampires? Reflections? I would not object to a few suggestions for naming either... would it be a clan? brotherhood of blood? those of badly-in-need-of-an-orthadontist?
2.) Muggle vs. Magical Vampires: There were some comments on this, but could anyone expound to a greater degree? I am interested in the repurcussions muggle Vampires would have on the wizarding world. Suppose Voldemort wanted to turn muggles and use them as disposable weapons against his enemies, promising them cures in return for their service? I think their would be a deep hatred between muggle vampires and the magical world, since the only thing they got out of it was a dreadful curse.
***Note: Point taken about not downplaying the horribleness of the Vampire curse. My vampires cannot live in sunlight, don't die unless killed properly, need blood to survive, and they cannot reproduce. A human is turned by being bitten by a Vampire. All Vampires crave human blood, but for the purposes of my story they do not depend on it. Animal blood can keep them alive. If a vampire tastes human blood once he or she craves it more then before... you get the picture. The more they drink the more insatiable they become. I am, however, shying away from the idea that they have no souls. Going with the disease idea, not the undead approach. We've got Inferi to fill that capacity. Vampirism is like Werewolfeism, only worse-- the whole 24/7/forever thing.
3.) Ok, based on what I just said above, does it sound plausible that a Vampire could have a choice between killing or turning their victim?
4.) If there was a community of Vampires in London where would they live? The underground/sewers seems just a shade cliche. Ideas?
5.) I am taking it for granted that Vampires don't usually hold jobs, not even night jobs. What do they do with their time? Twiddle their thumbs?
6.) In the last thread no one brought up the information JKR provides about other vampires, like Lorcan d'Eath, Heartthrob singer, part vampire, nineteen weeks at number 1 with hit song 'Necks to You.' JKR's Wizard of the Month for November 2006 (JKR). (see the Lexicon~Magical Beings for more) (What do you guys think part-vampire means?!?)
The entries tend to show JKR's lighthearted, beloved style. How does this impact the way we portray Vampires in cannon fan fiction? My vampires are not amusing, but should levity play its part... I'm thinking about the lines of a Furry-Little-Problem, except here it would be a...?
7.) What are a vampire's 'powers.' I am very unclear on this point. This is important for me because I want to know why Voldemort would be interested them. Again, there were some thoughts on this in the other thread, but I didn't get a clear idea what powers are particularly associated with Vampires... or are there none? Are they just deathless, cursed beings?
8.) One last thing: How long are a vampire's fangs, and are they always visible?
Good gracious, that was a lot of questions. My story hinges on the existence of a large Vampire community in London. Hence my interest in re-opening discussion on this reoccuring theme.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts,

Computer key to mapping genome, Celera chief says
most critical tool for sequencing the human genome was not so much a dramatic advance in biology as the power of high-speed computing, scientist and entrepreneur Craig Venter told a Princeton audience Tuesday.
Indeed, computing will be the key to most advances in the field, predicted Venter, the chief executive of Celera Genomics, the company that competed with publicly funded labs to produce the first map of all 3 billion chemical units in human DNA.
"The biggest challenge we had was dealing with all the data," said Venter. Great increases in computing power have dramatically shortened the length of time it takes to sequence and analyze genomes, and will help greatly in combing through the resulting data to select the most interesting parts, he said.
"From all the questions we could ask, it will allow us to pick the most important ones that you can actually go into a lab and test," he said.
Speaking to a large audience in Helm Auditorium, Venter recounted how he and many other scientists progressed from the time when analyzing a single gene took many years of painstaking work to the present, when scientists can sequence thousands of genes in minutes.
Even after the arrival of relatively high-speed techniques in the 1990s, it took four months to sequence the genome of the common bacteria Hemophilus influenzae - something that now could be done in about two hours, he said.
Even so, scientists had to scramble to be prepared for a June 26, 2000 White House press conference when Celera and the public consortium of researchers announced their results. "The White House staff kept calling late into the night to see if it was done - 'Is it soup yet?'" Venter recalled.
Venter's talk was arranged by Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Earlier in the day, Venter spoke to students in an undergraduate class called "Frontier Issues in Health Policy" offered by the Woodrow Wilson School.
Addressing biology students in the Tuesday evening audience, Venter advised them to recognize the importance of computing and spoke passionately about the future of the field.
"I can't imagine a more exciting time to be in biology," he said. "It is impossible to turn in any direction and not make new discoveries."
And given the flood of data from the human genome and other projects, he said, "There is almost no question in biology that should remain unanswered."

Newly elected Mayor John Cranley, who took office Dec. 1, had vowed to scuttle the project, even after an independent analysis showed that halting construction would save little if any funds, and despite insistence from the Federal Transit Administration that federal funds would have to be returned, and could not be diverted to other (road) projects.
Cranley was one of several mayors meeting with President Obama in Washington, D.C. earlier this week. One source told Railway Age that Cranley did not discuss the project with the President, but did do so with FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff, who repeated FTA's assertion that $40.9 million in federal funds targeted toward the project must either be used, or returned, and could not be diverted.
In an editorial Wednesday, Dec. 18, the Cincinnati Enquirer, a persistent critic of the $133 million streetcar project, nonetheless noted the "even if the project was halted today, the city will have already spent $34 million and will need to spend another $16 million to $46 million to close it out and honor its contracts. So canceling it today would mean spending a total of $50 million to $80 million in taxpayer dollars – for nothing."
Early Thursday, a City Council Committee voted 5-to-0, with three abstentions, to let the project advance, with Mayor Crowley reiterating his intent to veto any such approval. Such a veto would have required a 6-to-3 override vote, which pro-rail advocates early on said was an uncertain prospect but which appears to have solidified as a real likelihood within the City Council by midday Thursday.That may have prompted Cranley to reconsider his position, which he announced early Thursday afternoon. The City Council then in fact voted 6-to-3 to approve restarting the project.
Throughout December, pro-streetcar forces advanced a petition drive to put the streetcar issue to the voters for approval – for a third time – if the project was cancelled, and they reported earlier this week that they had registered numbers in support of the vote far in excess of the minimum required.
Councilman Kevin Flynn secured $9 million more in private sector contributions to the operating costs, in order to meet one of Mayor Cranley's late stipulations for the streetcar's survival.
Early Thursday afternoon, Cranley acknowledged, "We're going to have a streetcar," while re-emphasizing the campaign pledges to add police officers and firefighters and to make sure the streetcar would not jeopardize other services, including bus service.
But earlier in the day Councilwoman Yvette Simpson, a streetcar supporter, said the costs of litigation resulting from the streetcar's demise might prove "astronomical" and in fact would therefore affect Cincinnati's operating budget, impacting police, fire, and other municipal services.

Berkeley Tuolumne Camp (BTC) Update on the Rim Fire damage
Berkeley, California (Tuesday, October 2, 2013) – After a massive wildfire devasted much of Berkeley Tuolumne Camp in late August, the City has been moving on a number of fronts to respond. We are protecting and stabilizing the area to prevent further damage to the forest and the river. The work has required close collaboration with contractors and our insurance adjusters, as well as federal, state and local authorities who each have jurisdiction over the site. The Rim Fire, the third largest in California history, destroyed 92 of the camp's 111 structures, including all of the main buildings.The amount of destruction has and will continue to require an extensive response by the City. A specialized contractor – already working at the site – has been hired to assess damage, stabilize soil to prevent erosion, remove debris and safely take away hazardous materials like electrical equipment and treated wood. To best secure the site, the work must be done before the critical winter storm season. The site remains closed due to the many issues involved. We are pursuing a number of paths to cover costs. Our insurance adjusters have been responsive and we are working closely with them to optimize our coverage for the disaster. In addition, the City, local, state and federal authorities have been working together to request a Federal Declaration of Emergency, which may make the site eligible for FEMA relief funds. This process is complex and will take some time to complete. As a first step in assessing camp rebuilding, the City will begin a complex and lengthy Master Development Plan process with the U.S. Forest Service in the Fall of 2013. As for camp in Summer 2014, the City is exploring options for a temporary location. We've been meeting regularly with Friends of Berkeley Tuolumne Camp to identify the best options, and we will publicize that information as soon as it is available. More information about the City's system of parks and facilities is available at cityofberkeley.info/PRW Please direct all inquiries about the Berkeley Tuolumne Camp to the following email address: email@example.com

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - At age 96, Amanda Stevenson is the oldest murder suspect in St. Johns County history. But the elderly woman who's accused of shooting and killing her 53-year-old nephew goes to sleep and wakes up in the county detention center just like any other male or female inmate.
Stevenson is being held without bail, awaiting mental evaluations in the death of John Rice. But until then she's being treated like any other inmate, said Chuck Mulligan, of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
Stevenson is being housed with other females, but Mulligan said there are other, more specific categories that dictate where an inmate will he held inside a jail. In Stevenson's case, Mulligan said, some of the classifications include her age, medical history and nature of the alleged crime.
Mulligan said Stevenson is staying in an 8-feet by 9.5-feet cell by herself. She can watch TV and talk to nearby inmates.
"What I can tell you is that she is allowed in and out of her cell into a smaller cell block area," Mulligan said. "She is out generally on her own when she is out for different reasons."
"The other inmates I wouldn't suspect would be a threat to her," said Janet Johnson, a defense attorney who has experience in dealing with Johns County inmates. "If they find that other women are a threat to her -- women are already segregated -- I don't suspect that people are going to threaten a 96-year-old inmate. They'll probably, if anything, take her in and want to help her because she sort of is in a pathetic position, and I think that they don't want to victimize her in the jail."
"We can simply tell you this: There's several hundred people a day at the St. Johns County Jail," Mulligan said. "We attempt to, in every way possible, to take care of each and every one of them and accommodate any special needs that any of them have."
Stevenson has access to medical attention if she needs it. She would also be able to get any medicine or prescriptions that she needs, although her family said she doesn't take any medicine.

A look at the Census Bureau's advance sales estimates for May, Technomic's analysis of chain growth in 2013, Arby's brand revitalization and a whole lot more.
U.S. retail sales grew 0.3 percent in May over April, according to the Census Bureau advance estimate but not all segments performed equally. Motor vehicle sales increased 1.5 percent while building material and garden stores sales grew 1.1 percent. Minus autos and light trucks retail sales were up just 0.1 percent over May 2013. Total retail sales were up 4.3 percent.
Unfortunately, restaurants and drinking places did not share in the overall growth with May sales down 0.2 percent vs. April. Malcolm Knapp's theory that consumers are spending very selectively seems to find some credence last month. But compared to May 2013, restaurant and bar sales rose 4.1 percent. So far this year, sales are up 3.7 percent.
The caveats and limitations to this data are as follows: Only restaurants and bars are surveyed so many foodservice segments, such as hotels and resorts and clubs, are not included nor are the "institutional" operators such as schools and colleges, employee feeding, health care and military. The sales numbers are adjusted for seasonal variations such as weekends and holidays but not for inflation. Further, the Commerce Department's advance estimates are based on a small sample and are subject to revisions and updates.

It looks as though Shawn Mendes has himself a true blue fan in fellow Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. The Biebs tweeted out a series of messages to followers early this morning (October 5), encouraging them to buy Mendes' sophomore studio album Illuminate.
"Shawn Mendes voice makes me smile. Truly a gift to be able to move peoples emotions through songs!" Bieber wrote. "So proud of you brother! Great album!"

The good will comes after Justin appeared to shade Shawn last year when he claimed to not know who Mendes was in an interview. That riled up Mendes' fans more than it did the burgeoning pop star himself, but Bieber extended an olive branch before any kind of beef got going. He later tweeted directly at Mendes, and wrote, "Shawn I checked out the music and I'm so proud! So glad to see another boy from Canada crushin it. #canadiansdoitbetter."
To show there were no hard feelings, Mendes covered Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" and shared it on Instagram.
An endorsement from Biebs goes a long way considering he's got 88.6 million followers on Twitter. But even without Bieber's help it seems as though Mendes is doing just fine. Illuminate marked his second number one album on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 145,000 copies in the first week since it dropped on September 23rd.
