WASHINGTON – As roughly 123,000 students went back to classes in Prince George's County Monday, Greenbelt Middle School students had something other students didn't — a new school.
Students at Greenbelt Middle School started the school year in a new $32 million facility, the third such facility in the county to be designated as energy efficient with certification as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design facility.
The building includes a plant-covered green roof, interactive white boards that serve as projectors and television production studios.
The 972 students at Greenbelt Middle headed back to classes in uniform. This year, sixth graders are wearing green polo shirts, seventh are in white and eighth graders are in black.
With every new school year, students across the county will need to adjust to new bus schedules. Director of Transportation Thomas Bishop recommends families establish regular after-school routine and have a contingency plan, if they don't have someone to meet their children at the bus stop.
"You need to have a backup plan, an emergency plan for what does that student do when they get off the bus. Where do they go? Is there a neighbor they can stay with for a short time?"
Monday morning, Prince George's County school board members and outgoing Superintendent of Schools Dr. William R. Hite greeted students at various schools around the county.
Hite, who stepped down to lead Philadelphia's school system, will be replaced on an interim basis by Alvin Crawley, the deputy chief of programming for D.C.'s special education office. He takes over Sept. 4.
"The school system has made significant academic strides in recent years and I look forward to helping students and teachers continue on that path. I will work with the Board of Education over the next few weeks to address immediate challenges and enhance successful programs and services," says Crawley, in a news release announcing his selection.
The Board of Education says Crawley will be instrumental in assessing five priority areas: high student achievement, highly-effective teaching, safe and supportive schools, strong community partnerships and effective and efficient operations.
Board of Education Chairwoman Verjeana M. Jacobs tells WTOP the board is expected to appoint the new, permanent superintendent on July 1, 2013 after community forums.
In Fauquier County, students also went back to school. Fauquier County is the first Northern Virginia system to hit the books. Most Virginia schools return to classes after Labor Day.

Target says hackers stole credentials from vendor
Target says investigators have found that hackers stole credentials from a vendor to access the retailer's systems and pilfer about 40 million debit and credit card numbers as well as personal information for another 70 million people.
Spokeswoman Molly Snyder declined to comment Wednesday on further details, such as the vendor's identity or how the hackers stole the credentials, citing the ongoing the investigation.
Snyder did say that since Minneapolis-based Target Corp. confirmed the breach on Dec. 15, it has taken extra precautions such as limiting or updating access to some platforms.
Last week, some card numbers of Target customers from South Texas turned up in the arrest of a pair of Mexican citizens at the U.S.-Mexico border. But experts believe the attack's original perpetrators will be difficult to locate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EileenG from My favorite baker! We received this baker for our wedding and it has quickly become my favorite dish! The glaze is beautiful and it looks nice on the table with our other Pillivuyt and Apilco pieces. I use it for baked chicken, enchiladas, casseroles, breakfast bakes, etc. I love that it's broiler safe. It cleans up so well. Food just slides right off! These bakers would make excellent housewarming or shower gifts.Date published: 2019-05-06Rated 5 out of 5 by HungryInOxford from Love this versatile baker This is the perfect baking dish for so many things, including enchiladas, roasting asparagus, casseroles, and oh so many other things.Date published: 2016-03-28Rated 5 out of 5 by TLID1 from My favorite I have this in two sizes and absolutely love it. You can bring it from the oven to the table and it is great. When I cook and serve from the bakers I feel like I am in France. Highly recommend. Received my first one as a gift and went and purchased the larger one.Date published: 2015-08-13Rated 5 out of 5 by CatonsvilleCook from Finally the perfect baker I've been on a mad search for a baker that's large enough to hold enough chicken pieces for my family of four plus fits the inside dimensions of my Breville toaster oven, and is deep enough that I can hold a sauce or even a casserole in it. Heck, it can even accomodate a small roast. I finally found it! It's also attractive, works beautifully and cleans like a dream. I have lots of Pillivuyt and this is my new favorite.Date published: 2014-01-08Rated 5 out of 5 by lisp from beautiful bakeware I bought the Pillivuyt Roaster before Christmas and often use it for roast chickens. The baker is slightly wider. I was concerned that it did not have handles on the baker (as the roaster has little handles), but cleanup was so easy with the roaster that I went ahead and took a chance on the baker. The rim around the baker acts as a bit of a handle and the baker is just beautiful. I hope to order another someday. They may seem a bit expensive compared to other brands but having compared it to other bakers I am most happy with the size shape and looks of mine & would order again.Date published: 2013-01-23Rated 5 out of 5 by Shampbell from Practical and elegant!

Are The Florida Marlins For Real ?
Welcome to Florida's new roller coaster. Florida Marlins baseball.
The Marlins started the season with an impressive 11-1 record. When all the national media took attention of their streak they suddenly lose their touch and they have forgotten about the winning column.
It's true it is only April. A very long way to October. However questions are starting to arise whom are the true Marlins for this 2009 season.
Every major national media outlet mostly agreed in the pre-season that the Marlins could be great or not so good depending how it starting pitching rotation was going to be. Most of the so-called experts coincide that the combo of Ricky Nolasco, Josh Johnson, Anibal Sanchez, Chris Volstad and Andrew Miller is the best rotation in the National League. Possibly, in the whole Major Leagues.
They are young. Really young. Nolasco, 26, is the elder of manager Fredi Gonzalez squad.
The problem is that not much if known if they can keep healthy and go long distances in innings pitched on a full season. Also they are realizing they are getting extra pressure as often they are compare with the Marlins troupe from the 2003 World Champions of such names as Josh Beckett, A.J. Burnett and Brad Penny. They won the October Classic that year but in 2002 it is forgotten that with the high expectations that same trio and their team faltered and finished with a record of 79-83, fourth in their East Division.
This year Marlins improved in the middle with such names as Kiko Calero and Leo Nuñez.
However there are many questions about young Matt Lindstrom if he's ready for primetime as a closer.
A lot of questions there are also about the lineup. When they are red-hot they are but when they go cold their bats get frozen. The only way they can beat inconsistency is that such names as Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla, Jorge Cantu and Jeremy Hermida finally demonstrate they can be productive over the course of a whole year. Also, they need rookies Emilio Bonifacio and Cameron Maybin to improve their batting right now faster than you can say the month of May.
So far the battles against the World Champions Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets have not been won. Again, it is only April but sometimes the beginning of a season can be a glimpse of things to happen.
The Marlins if they want to win the National League East pennant they need to win the battles and the whole war. It is true that their 84 wins last season were good. That was the same total of wins the Los Angeles Dodgers needed to win the National League West. However, the East it is a lot better and they have pretty stiff competition from the Phillies, Mets and the Atlanta Braves.
Right now their division' first place it's looking like a miracle. Such as many still do not believe good present streaks such as the ones of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the San Diego Padres or the ones of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners in the American League.
If the Marlins want to be in the race they have to answer their own questions really fast right now if they want to be a real contender.

Imagine you suddenly came into a windfall of money and were able to buy whatever you wanted. You could finally take that trip to Ibiza you've always wanted while wearing that outfit you could never afford. Of course, you'd have to show off your new status all over social media.
For most of us, this dream will never become reality, but that wasn't the case for one young woman. When she started receiving money out of the blue with no explanation, she got a chance to live out a true fantasy — but the story only got stranger from there…
Christine Lee, a 21-year-old from Malaysia, was a Chemical Engineering major at Sydney University in Australia. She came from a very well-off family that supported her throughout her educational pursuits.
Christine was a bit of a fashionista around campus. The outfits, shoes, and accessories she wore around the school were nothing like what the other college students would wear. Her affluent status was nothing she tried to hide.
Daily Mail
When she went to class, she would wear Christian Louboutin heels, her phone was in a Moschino protective phone case, and she carried a Hermes Birkin handbag worth around $10,000. Her wardrobe was nothing a college student could afford.
Daily Mail
Her friends noticed that her dorm was overflowing with designer purses, clothes, jewelry all worth thousands. On top of that, she always had the newest technology and even her vacuum was top-of-the-line. But, as far as her friends knew, her parents were just incredibly wealthy.
NSW Police / Facebook
But although Christine's parents were well-off, they weren't wealthy enough to support these types of shopping habits. In one trip alone to Dior, Christine spent over $220,000. So where was Christine getting this money?
Daily Mail
Believe it or not, it took Christine a while to figure out that something was off. She started to notice that she had extra funds and she was able to stretch her spending little by little each month but just assumed that her parents were transferring her extra money without telling her.
Paramount Pictures
This went on for months and months. Christine didn't want to bring it up with her parents — why risk spoiling a good thing? Still, she was starting to believe that something else was going on that led to her newfound wealth.
Any occasion she had to flaunt her belongings, she did: Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook. She was living her best life, and she hoped the money would never stop flowing. But things were about to catch up with her…
Daily Mail
After living 11 months in a financially carefree life, her bank started to catch on. Bank employees noticed that Christine was making incredibly expensive purchases in amounts that didn't make sense given the relatively small deposits made each month.
When they looked into it, they realized the high spending Christine was doing was because of their own error. It appeared that Westpac bank accidentally gave her a bit of an extension of her credit limit. Just how much?
Paramount Pictures
An angry senior manager from Westpac bank called Christine questioning her. Did she think the bank would never notice? She hung up the phone after refusing to talk to him. Christine realized the jig was up and that she was about to be in a world of trouble.
Christine needed to think of an escape plan quickly before things got out of hand, so she arranged to get an emergency Malaysian passport. Her plan was to fly back home to Malaysia before things got worse.
Arisa Chow
She threw some of her things into her designer luggage and headed for Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport. She was able to make it through security and to the gate. It appeared that Christine was going to make it out of the country undetected.
NY Post
That's when they discovered just how much Christine was able to buy on stolen money. They confiscated all of her designer purchases along with their certificates of authenticity. They also discovered something else.
Christine, knowing very well that this money did not belong to her, transferred $1.3 million worth of these funds to various private accounts. This was the proof Westpac bank needed to prove that this wasn't an accident: Christine was aware of what was happening and what she was doing.
When her court day arrived, Christine showed up to court wearing ripped jeans, a black tank top, and sneakers. She wore a backpack that had a pink, fluffy keychain attached to it — a far cry from her usual look.

Surrey judge rules gun sentence minimums unconstitutional
A Surrey provincial court judge has ruled that the federal government's mandatory minimum sentence in illegal gun possession cases is unconstitutional.
Judge James Bahen said Thursday that the three year minimum term enacted in 2008 for possession of a loaded, prohibited firearm violates both section 12 and section seven of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
But Bahen said he still needs to hear from Crown about whether those Charter breaches should impact the sentence of Glenn Harley Sheck, convicted of carrying a loaded Glock inside his Louis Vuitton man purse two years ago.
Bahen put the case over to Jan. 21 and invited the Crown to argue under Section one of the Charter, which says there are reasonable limits on some constitutional rights.
"Evidence heard in the context of a Section one application by the Crown may provide the basis to justify the constitutional breaches in this case and thereby preserve the effect of the mandatory minimum," Bahen said.
Sheck turned and smiled several times at relatives and supporters in courtroom 107 Thursday as Bahen read out his findings.
The ruling was a first in B.C. against the tough mandatory firearms sentences enacted four years ago, though the mandatory minimum terms in Section 95 of the criminal code have been ruled unconstitutional in several Ontario cases now under appeal.
Bahen accepted arguments from Sheck's lawyers that there are problems with the legislation because it requires a three-year minimum when the Crown proceeds by way of direct indictment, while allowing a minimum one year sentence if the Crown proceeds summarily in less serious cases.
"I conclude that the gap of two years in the structure of sentencing for section 95 offences creates an arbitrary and fundamentally unjust sentencing process in violation of section seven," Bahen said.
"If the applicant were sentenced for this offence based on the facts of the offence and his personal circumstances, without the mandatory minimum provision, I would impose a sentence that is less than three years."
Bahen also said the legislation violates Section 12 of the Charter which protects against cruel and unusual punishment. But he also said that in the circumstances of Sheck's conviction, a three-year sentence would be "harsh and excessive," but "not cruel and unusual punishment."
Bahen said several times that he was not criticizing the decision by B.C. prosecutors to proceed by way of direct indictment in Sheck's case. The problem is with the "legislative framework," he said.
Sheck, 31, was arrested by the Gang Task Force on Nov. 4, 2010 after they got a tip he was carrying the loaded prohibited handgun.
Police were watching him as he left his house, stopped briefly at another residence, then drove to the Earl's on 152nd in Surrey about 7:10 pm.
"There were numerous customers and staff inside at that time of the evening," Bahen said in Thursday's ruling.
"The presence of a loaded gun readily accessible in a busy restaurant are sufficiently serious to conclude the sentence of three years may be excessive and harsh but not cruel and unusual."
Bahen said Thursday that evidence from a voir dire in Sheck's case, summarized in a ruling last year, was not admissible at Sheck's sentencing.
It included details of an RCMP investigation in the attempted murder of Sheck's former spouse's new boyfriend and the fact Sheck was a suspect at the time though was never charged.
Bahen said Sheck had no prior criminal record, a support family and good work prospects.
No evidence of Sheck's gang associations was presented during his sentencing hearing. Last fall, outside court, he chatted with gangster Sukh Dhak, who stopped by the Surrey courthouse despite not having a scheduled appearance. Dhak was later gunned down in Burnaby.
Both Dhak and Sheck attended the May 2012 funeral in Surrey of international cocaine smuggler Tom Gisby, who was shot to death in Mexico.

Ernst: Dogs, danger and the same old excuses
As you know, Summit County is, for the most part, a dog friendly place. Many events allow un-leased dogs. I just read a recent article, "Copper Mountain leash laws approved by Summit County Commission. The article contained several statements from those that support the law and those that don't. The thing I always hear from those that don't support leash laws is, "My dog is voice and sight-command trained and I don't walk him on a leash." Under normal circumstances this may be true. Let another dog hit on your dog, a child touching without the dog knowing it's coming, a wild animal crosses it's path and I can assure you the loudest of voice and sight-commands will have no affect. The other thing I hear when a dog bites, "he's never done that before." Probably true in some cases but not others.
I pulled the article below from the internet. I'm sure there are many other articles regarding this subject.
I have a feeling most dog owners have no idea what their liability might be should there dog bite someone. All there assets could be at risk.
Recommend the Summit Daily take a look at the potential liability our dog owners have and write an article. The slant on the article should not be scare tactics but informative.

The Institute of Medicine and National Research Council have recently published a report entitled "U.S. Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health", which presents a shocking fact that in spite of the greater per capita expenditure on health care than any other country, the Americans live shorter lives and experience more illnesses and injuries than people in most other high-income countries. The report raises a number of important questions about health care in the U.S. Although the report is based on multiple data sources, the primary source of the comprehensive international comparison was the Human Mortality Database. This database has been developed and updated by Dr. Shiro Horiuchi and Ms. Mila Andreeva, a professor and a research associate respectively, at the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College, in collaboration with researchers of other institutes in an NIH-funded project. The report cites prior findings by Dr. Horiuchi that the survival curve for the U.S. has been consistently much less rectangular than those for Sweden and Japan, suggesting greater health inequality in the U.S.

American Indian Burial Site Laws: If I find it, can I keep it?
Have you ever been to the Ocmulgee National Park? Can you imagine the history and wonder that resides in those mounds? One might expect to find an arrowhead or even a body buried deep under all that dirt.
But what about the rest of Georgia? The American Indians of our past (and of many people's ancestry) didn't just stay in one area, but instead roamed all over Georgia. There could be an artifact (urns, tools, clothing, jewelry, weapons or even human remains) in your own backyard.
Does that mean that it's yours by law? If something from the Native Americans of our past is buried on your property, is it rightfully yours?
Unfortunately, it's not. According to the Official Code of Georgia 36-72-1, human remains or burial objects from Native Americans is not yours if you own the land in which these items were found. Also, if you come across any of these objects, you must, by law (12-3-52), report them to your local authorities.
Native American burial site laws in Georgia extensively cover what you can and cannot do — even on your own property. Don't mess with anything that could be historically significant and always report to the authorities if you know of someone disturbing a grave or artifact.
The major exceptions to these laws apply to anthropologists (one who has a Ph.D. in physical anthropology and is actively working as one) and archeologists (has the criteria or is a member of the Society of Professional Archaeologists and has formal training in digging and extracting artifacts). They have the right to dig and extract American Indian remains. However, they must possess a permit (even the exceptions to the law must still get specific permission).
Who made these laws?
In 1992, the Georgia General Assembly voted to create the Georgia Council on American Indian Concern. This Council was tasked with protecting Indian burial sites and helping with the legality of ownership for human remains and burial objects.
The Council, whose members are appointed by the Governor, is made up of 9 people consisting of American Indians, archeologists, anthropologists and at least one person of the general public. All members must be legal residents of Georgia.
Georgia's history with American Indians is a long and deep one. It is important that we work together to keep that history alive and preserved for our children. This is the main goal of all these laws and the commitment the Council on American Indian Concern aims to achieve.

By Cynthia McMurry, KF8, Ecuador
Everyday conversations with people in Cuenca provide countless anecdotes of people whose families have been separated by emigration. Everyone seems to have family in the US or Spain, if not a spouse then a brother, sister, cousin or child. At a group meeting last week, a borrower joked that she'd like me to sneak her into the US in my backpack. I asked her and the rest of the group if they had family members in the States, and all ten women nodded their heads in unison. Recently, I was chatting with a friend whose father is living in New York—she's my age, and hasn't seen her father in more than a decade. One of Espoir's first Kiva clients, Nancy, has a four-year-old daughter who has never met her father, since Nancy's husband left for Brooklyn when she was still pregnant. Another Espoir client I spoke with has been raising her four young children alone since her husband left for New York two years ago. Now, thanks to the economic crisis, he has lost both of his jobs and remains heavily in debt to a coyote. With no hope of financial support from her husband coming anytime soon, this client has been left to provide for her four children on her own.
Somewhere between 10% and 15% of Ecuadorians live abroad, most in the New York metro area, where they are one of the largest immigrant groups, and in Spain, where they are the second largest immigrant group. As of 2006, nearly 8% of Ecuador's GDP was comprised of remittances, compared with about 3% for Mexico (International Fund for Agricultural Development).
The high rate of migration has troubling implications for Ecuadorian families. On top of the obvious consequences of emigration, like separated couples and absent fathers, many of the men who leave start new families in the US or Europe and eventually stop sending remittances to their families in Ecuador, leaving their wives to fend for themselves as single mothers. In other cases, men emigrate with their wives or send for their wives later, and children are left with their grandparents or with neighbors. Because many Ecuadorians in the US are there illegally, they have no possibilities to return to visit, and sending for their families would mean paying more exorbitant coyote fees for the dangerous 2500-mile trip. Coyotes typically charge between $12,000 and $14,000 per person. This is about three times the average annual income in Ecuador, the equivalent of $135,000 for a US citizen. And paying this fee doesn't guarantee that you'll actually make it into the country: somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 Ecuadorians are apprehended each year trying to enter the US illegally (Migration Information Source). Many of these people have already sold off their houses, livestock, and any other valuables they may have in their hometowns, just to be sent back home with a new mountain of debt and even fewer possibilities than before.
I haven't asked borrowers whether it's worth it, but I'm curious. Do the economic opportunities available abroad justify the separation of their families? How are their children affected? If they could go back in time, would they make the same choices?
I'm interested in hearing other fellows' experiences with emigration and its effects on borrowers' lives, both positive and negative. Where does microfinance fit into the picture? Are clients using remittances to pay off their loan installments? Or are their small businesses the only means of support they have for their families ever since the remittance payments stopped? For those of you working in the US, have you met any Ecuadorian immigrants looking to take out Kiva loans? If so, is their ultimate goal to save money and return home, or have they established themselves in the US?

There are five new members of the Southington royal family.
On Sunday at Derynoski Elementary School, the Miss Southington Scholarship Pageant crowned two new representatives to compete in Miss Connecticut this coming June. The pageant also crowned three Outstanding Teens who will vie for Miss Connectiut's Outstanding Teen next summer.
Kaitlyn Tarpey was selected as Miss Southington. Miss Plantsville is Shannon Murphy.
The new Miss Southington's Outstanding Teen is Madison Yurgaitis. Miss Plantsville's Outstanding Teen is Katerina Belales. The new Miss Milldale's Outstanding Teen is Olivia Sica.
Following the pageant, as she collected congratulations and posed for photographs, Tarpey said, she was "ecstatic, relaxed, so humbled, relieved (after having won). I'm so ready to work for Southington and go to Miss Connecticut for the third time and represent the town well."
Tarpey added, "I have a long year ahead of me. I'm so excited to do everything. And I'm glad I was crowned before the holidays so I'll be able to implement my platform and be around the town this winter."
"I'm so excited I can't wai to go to Miss Connecticut and represent Plantsville," said Murphy, who was competing in just her second pageant ever. Last week was her first opportunity in the Miss Connecticut system when she vied for Miss Wolcott. But Murphy said she's not completely in the dark about pageants and Miss Connecticut. She attended last June's state pageant because the reigning Miss Connecticut— Emily Audibert— is a good friend of hers. Murphy said, "You could say she's an inspiration."
Now that she is Miss Plantsville, Murphy said she is looking forward to representing the community. "I can't wait to see what's in store for me."
As friends offered hugs and congratulations, Yurgaitis said, "I feel amazing (about tonight). I was feeling pretty confident. I'm proud of myself…I'm looking forward to representing Southington and having a great year."
"Oh my god, I'm so ecstatic, oh my god," said a breathless Belales, who also received a community service award. "I'm so proud of myself that I was able to do this… I'm looking forward to a great year and getting along with everyone."
"I feel so great," said Sica after the bustle onstage began to die down. "This was my first pageant and I was hoping to have a lot of confidence . I wasn't expecting anything from it. But it was a great outcome."
As the year progresses, Olivia, who attends the Ethel Walker School, said she was looking forward to the community service in Southington because "I've lived here my whole life."
The Miss Southington organization, besides welcoming five new representatives, said farewell to their predecessors. Miss Southington Cassandra Mastrianni, Miss Southington's Outstanding Teen Sydney West, Miss Milldale's Outstanding Teen Eliza Kanner, and Miss Marion's Outstanding Teen Tina Valente all offered final good-byes and final performances to the audience at Derynoski on Sunday afternoon.

Firefighters gave big to San Diego City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner last year, contributing about a sixth of the money raised or spent in support of her successful bid for re-election.
In an ongoing look at the influence certain interest groups may have over San Diego's newly-elected officials, The Watchdog reviewed San Diego Ethics Commission breakdowns of the money raised by Lightner or spent in support of her or in opposition to her unsuccessful challenger, retired Republican businessman Ray Ellis.
Aside from the Democratic Party, which spent or contributed more than $144,000, San Diego Fire Fighters Local 145 Political Action Committee stood out for spending more than $100,000 in support of Lightner.
Two other groups also spent money in support of Lightner, including the San Diego Police Officers Association Political Action Committee, which spent $5,400 and the Community Empowerment Coalition, a group that seeks to increase the political engagement of historically underrepresented populations and spent $4,214.
Perhaps the largest amount of support came from within Lightner's own district. Of the nearly $600,000 she raised or was spent in support of her, $335,100 was contributed by individuals, and $137,400 of that came from people living in La Jolla.
Though she received support from firefighters and police officers, other labor groups spent money opposing her. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 135 and San Diego Works, which is sponsored by the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council AFL-CIO, spent a combined $87,500 in opposition to Lightner.
Those two labor groups did not spend money in support of Ellis, though. His money came from the Republican Party, conservative groups and individuals. In all, a total of $1.1 million was raised by Ellis or spent by committees in support of him or against Lightner — nearly twice the amount of money involved in Lightner's campaign.
Lightner captured 54.9 percent of the votes in the November general election, beating Ellis by 5,700 votes, 31,585 to 25,881.

On those mornings when your 'do just won't cooperate, the rest of the day tends to follow suit. A stubbed toe, a speeding ticket, a virus that wipes out your email: It all seems to happen without explanation -- like some cosmic backlash, you've been struck by the bad-hair-day gods. But the heavens are hardly to blame. More likely, your hair's unruliness has an elemental source -- a lack of natural oils, perhaps, or unseen environmental stressors. To get your tresses into top form, you have to go back to basics. We enlisted natural-hair-care experts to deconstruct the most common hair woes. They offer up some surprising reasons why your strands might be staging a rebellion.
Hair Solutions Chart
The Problem: Hair resists styling; curls and blowouts don't last long
The Culprit: Overwashing. Natural oils and even a little dirt make hair manageable. If you shampoo your hair more than two or three times a week, says Patrick Ales, founder of the botanically based French hair-care line Phyto, you might be stripping out frizz-taming, shine-producing moisture. As for how often to wash, there's no magic number, says John Masters, owner of the New York City salon John Masters Organics. For curly or frizzy hair or a dry scalp, he recommends shampooing once every few weeks (yes, really), as long as you wet it and use conditioner to lift grime when it starts looking messy. Oily hair requires more washings, from three times a week up to daily. Also, rethink shampoo. "People use way too much," says Masters. "It dries out the hair and causes tangles." Apply just a quarter-size dollop to the scalp and massage it in. On days when you can skip the washing, take advice from New York City-based stylist Eva Scrivo: "Touch up the front and crown of the head by misting a little water on each section, following up with a blow dryer."
Try: Phyto Phytoprogenium Shampoo, beautysak.com; Jonathan Product Redo Freshen-Up Mist for Hair & Skin, sephora.com
The Problem: Hair looks limp, lackluster, and dull
The Culprit: Nutrient deficiency. Since hair doesn't contain any living cells, most of us assume it's "dead" and that there's little we can do to liven it up. Not true, counters Masters. "It doesn't have nerve endings, but you can still nourish it at the root," he says. Products containing organic herbs and essential oils will stimulate circulation in the scalp and balance oil production." This, in turn, affects hair's sheen, volume, and manageability. And don't underestimate the effects of your overall health on your mane, says Ales. "Anytime there's a metabolic change in the body, it shows in your hair. When you're tired, it can get dull. When you're healthy, it finds its shine again." Eating a balanced diet supports your hair (see Beauty Food), while using nutrient-rich hair-care products, especially those with the antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, keeps damaging factors like pollution, poor water quality, and sun exposure from causing problems.
Try: Jane Carter Solution Nourish & Shine, janecartersolution.com
The Problem: Color is flat; strands break easily
The Culprit: Unhealthy dyes. Used in many salon and home hair dyes, the ingredients ammonia and PPD (p-Phenylenediamine) expand the hair shaft and help color stick, Masters explains. But by manipulating your hair's natural structure, dyes make it tough to maintain a shiny, healthy-looking 'do. (Worse yet, frequent exposure to the chemicals has been loosely linked to higher incidences of certain cancers and respiratory problems.) But a healthier dye job is possible, says Scrivo. "We can now color hair without ammonia and get the same results," she says. Health-food stores stock many ammonia-free/low-PPD hair color, while an increasing number of salons offer vegetable-based dyes. Scrivo uses ammonia-free Herbatint in her salon and has seen healthy hair regrowth in women whose hair has been weakened by harsher colorants. Following color application, Ales recommends applying a nourishing hair mask to help smooth and coat the hair cuticle and give it additional shine and resilience.
Try: Tints of Nature Permanent Hair Color, naturesstore.com; Nature's Gate In Living Color Hair Masque for Color-Treated Hair, natures-gate.com
The Problem: Hair looks brassy, streaked, and frizzy
The Culprit: Too much sun. Even when the temperature is hovering around freezing, sun damage incurred many months ago can still wreak havoc. "Unlike the epidermis, which undergoes continuous renewal, UV-damaged hair shafts cannot spontaneously repair," says Ales. Too much UV exposure weakens the hair's keratin (protein) and causes melanin oxidation, or discoloration, resulting in brassiness. Although chemical SPF products help mitigate the damage year-round, Masters favors using a sun hat or a nourishing hair pomade with beeswax, plant butters, natural oils, and/or vitamins to act as a physical barrier between hair and the sun. "The greatest SPF for your hair is a chic hat," seconds Scrivo, who also suggests asking your stylist about applying a clear glaze that coats the hair shaft and offers another layer of protection from the elements.
Try: Rene Furterer KPF90 Fluide Hydratant, beautyexclusive.com; John Masters Organics Hair Pomade, johnmasters.com
The Problem: Roots feel oily, while ends are too dry
The Culprit: Not brushing enough. In the days before women had easy access to thousands of hair-care products, a nightly hair-brushing session was de rigueur. As it turns out, our forebears were on to something: Brushing helps move oil from hair's roots to its ends, conditioning strands evenly, protecting them, and eliminating the tangles that can lead to breakage down the road. Scrivo advocates investing in a Mason Pearson hairbrush, a traditional, London-made model crafted with boar and nylon bristles. Though it's expensive, it'll reduce your need for deep-conditioning treatments and frequent washings, she says. As for great-grandma's prescription of a thousand strokes a night? A bit excessive, says Scrivo. "Brushing for five to ten minutes before bed is enough to prevent breakage and foster a healthy shine."

Beauty Food for Hair
Mirrors don't lie: Your reflection indicates what's occurring internally, say experts. "When you have skin and hair challenges, the body is letting you know it needs help," says Lisa Petty, a holistic nutritionist and author of "Living Beauty." Model-turned-nutritionist and chiropractor Joey Shulman, author of "The Natural Makeover Diet," agrees: "External symptoms like brittle hair are good clues," she says. Boost your intake of the following nutrients and start seeing results in weeks.
Fortifies the hair and promotes growth. Food sources: beans, dairy products, eggs, fish, meat, and poultry.
Oxygenates blood and boosts circulation in the scalp. Food sources: asparagus, dried fruit, egg yolks, legumes, red meat, dark leafy greens, and whole grains.
Omega-3s (Essential Fatty Acids)
Prevent dryness and add moisture. Food sources: flaxseeds, sardines, soybeans, walnuts, and wild salmon.
Strengthens the hair cuticle, boosting strands' elasticity. Food sources: cabbage, celery, and steel-cut oats.
Vitamins A, C, and E
Fight free-radical damage caused by aging and the environment. Food sources: carrots, dark leafy greens, and sweet potatoes (vitamin A); citrus, kiwi, and strawberries (vitamin C); almonds, avocados, nut oils, peanuts, and sunflower seeds (vitamin E).

REA has come across a few interesting architects who integrate fine art and design into large-scale, experimental installations. Enjoy the images and links below.
John Locke is an architect living in New York City. Below, you'll see the mirrored fence he built around the World Trade Center site to emphasize the shape of the sky in between buildings. Sometimes, it's the negative space hugging the angles of buildings that is quite beautiful in itself.
Locke also built bookshelves to incorporate into NYC phone booths, redefining the use for phone boots in a cell phone age. The bookshelves invite people to take a book for free, or leave one for others to find. This is perhaps the most public a "public library" could possibly be.
Ball-Nogues Studio is an architecture firm started by two friends, Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues. They "explore the nexus of art, architecture, and industrial design" and have exhibited their work in various art museums around the world, including MoMA, the Guggenheim, and PS1.
RO&AD Architects are another duo — Ad Kil and Ro Koster — who came up with the "Moses Bridge." It quite literally parts the water of a moat for a fort in the Netherlands, called Fort de Roovere. The fort is part of a defense-line that includes other fortresses and cities dating from the 17th century. Drawing on the area's historical context, RO&AD decided it was best to create a bridge that would be invisible to enemies trying to cross the moat.

I haven't been blogging very much, the camera is still broken, and its just not as much fun when you can't take pictures :(
This week I planted 2 tomato plants in pots along with lettuce and herbs. It just seems like I would be feeding all the creatures of the forest if I was to plant the veggie garden in the yard. So right now it is over run with dandelions. I did plant the rhubarb that I traded a cinnamon bun for at the market. I have been told that deers don't eat it, so far so good.
My mom and dad are visiting me for 2 weeks, they get here in a two days!! I have not seen my mom in a year, I wish they would move here and I keep trying to convince them, but that would be a HUGE move, across Canada. Mom said maybe in a couple years....fingers crossed.
I made a really yummy poppyseed loaf the other day and wanted to share the recipe. Sorry no pictures, but trust me its GOOD!
Lemon Poppyseed Loaf
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar

Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (KMP) operates as a pipeline transportation and energy storage company in North America. The partnership is a member of the dividend achievers index, as it has managed to boost quarterly distributions for 16 consecutive years. Over the past decade, Kinder Morgan has managed to boost distributions by 8.20%/year. The partnership operates over 75,000 miles of pipelines as well as 180 terminals.
Its main business activity involves transporting commodities such as oil and natural gas for third parties such as oil and gas companies for a fee. In essence, Kinder Morgan operates a toll-based business, which generates stable fee revenues, without having exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. The volumes of oil and gas transported in the US are very stable and move by only a few percentage points per year. In addition, as the US is experiencing a boom in shale-gas production, there is a greater need for transporting carbons in the country. Companies like Kinder Morgan are in a great position to capitalize on this opportunity, with their pipelines in Marcellus Shale, Eagle Ford, Haynesville and Barnett Shale.
The partnership is operated by Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI), which is the General Partner. The general partner has an incentive distribution rights to 50% of distributable cash flows over certain amounts as well as 11% of the partnership. As a result, future distributions growth might be limited in the limited partnership level, but much higher at the general partner level. In a previous article I mentioned that there are three ways to invest in Kinder Morgan through general partner, limited partner and LLC interests.
Kinder Morgan's CEO, Richard Kinder, owns 24% of the general partner interests in the partnership and received an annual salary of $1/year. As a result, since most of his net worth is invested in the partnership, he has the incentive to deliver solid results to unit holders in terms of distributions and total returns. It is rare in corporate America today to see management and shareholders goals align as closely as they do in Kinder Morgan. The other major company that comes to mind, where top management has a large stake includes Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B).
As a master limited partnership, Kinder Morgan (KMP) is a pass-through entity. This means that it does not pay taxes at the corporate level. Instead, each unitholder pays their portion of Kinder Morgan's income, net of any deductions. Each year, unitholders receive a K-1 form, which describes their share of income, and how to report it on their tax returns. In general, for the first ten years or so, new unitholders generally do not pay taxes on their distributions, as they are classified as "return of capital" for tax purposes. While this creates a slightly more challenging tax return than the typical dividend paying stock, any serious do-it-yourself investor or investor with an average CPA should be able to handle this aspect. Taxation also makes investing in Kinder Morgan Partners slightly more challenging in deferred retirement accounts such as ROTH IRA's. Luckily, the option to acquire i-shares of Kinder Morgan Management (KMR) exists, which pay distributions in the form of stock. As a result, unitholders do not receive any cash, and their distributions are viewed in the eyes of the IRS similar to stock splits. This means that unitholders of Kinder Morgan Partners, who invest in I-Shares such as KMR do not have to file any information with tax authorities regarding the shares they received as distributions from KMR. The only item that has to be reported would be the taxable event of a sale. Currently, KMR trades at a discount to KMP, which is why a lot of investors have chosen it over the partnership units.
This being said, Kinder Morgan does have the distributable cash flows from its vast portfolio of fee generating assets to pay for its generous partner distributions. For the first six months of 2012, Kinder Morgan had Distributable Cash Flow of $2.44 unit, while it paid out $2.36/unit. In 2011 DCF/unit was $4.68/unit and the partnership distributed $4.61/unit for the year.
Future distributions growth could come out of the ten billion in capex that the partnership plans to invest over the next five years. Projects in the pipeline include $4 billion for Transmountain Pipeline expansion, as well as expansions in company's Natural Gas and Products Pipelines expansions. As General Partner plans on becoming a pure play GP by 2014, there will be expected drop-downs of assets to Kinder Morgan Partners, which would fuel future distributions growth as well. The Parkway Pipeline is another major project in South-East US, which is expected to come on-line in 2013, and be accretive to distributable cash flow per unit. Another driver of growth could include tariff increases as well as organic growth in oil and gas delivered. A third driver of growth could include strategic acquisitions. The acquisition of El Paso in 2011 will lead to Kinder Morgan Partners acquiring several projects. This in turn has increased the expected growth in distributions per unit from 5% to 7% in the foreseeable future.
One of the risks for the partnership includes interest rate risk. For every one percent move in interest rates, interest expense fluctuates by $55 million. If interest rates start to increase, that could affect distributable cash flow per unit, as new projects would be more expensive to build.
