The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 1 Issue 33 July 4, 2001
"They moved vigorously, their rifle barrels and tomahawk blades glinting in the morning sun, their voices charging the air with liberty songs and patriotic exhortations in the neighborhoods they passed." ~ H. Mayer, A Son Of Thunder: Patrick Henry and the American Republic.
Patrick Henry, one of America's greatest Founding Fathers, has nearly been lost in the dust of our nation's history. Perhaps it was Henry's insistence to speak his mind that irritates our historians to the degree that schools teach so little about him. After all, he symbolized free speech, which often sows seeds of discontent with bureaucratic authority - a threat that surely strikes fear into the hearts of edu-crats everywhere.
Could it possibly be the fact that during his famous St. Johns Church speech, he cried out, "Give me liberty or give me death," and therein begged Washington, Jefferson, Randolph and other giants of the day to give him authority to form a "well regulated militia?"
Henry had enough foresight to know there was a need to fend off the British through the use of arms. The British had become increasing hostile to the freedoms and commercial interests of the American colonies. Without weapons and men, there would be no hope for a revolution, and Henry wanted a revolution that would establish certain basic freedoms.
This revolution meant freedom and liberty, and liberty was the "Crown Jewel." Without basic freedoms, men would be slaves to the state. Without the right to bear arms, men would always be looking over their shoulders anticipating the day that an oppressive central government could take their freedoms; everything away.
After his stirring speech - perhaps the most exciting speech in American history - Henry was made the chairman of the approved militia plan. But unlike most of today's so-called leaders, Henry went on to implement his own plan in a most dangerous and dramatic way.
Only days after the "shot heard around the world" resounded in Concord, Massachusetts, the Virginia's British governor, Lord Dunmore, ordered his troops to seize all arms and gunpowder kept in the battery in Williamsburg.
News of the seizure soon circulated among the Virginia colonists and was mixed with the news of the uprisings in Concord and Lexington. Even though many had assembled and insisted upon strong action, the reserved "leadership" called for meetings instead.
Nevertheless, upon hearing of Dunmore's seizure of the colonist's arms, a prudent Henry rushed to one of the assemblies, and spoke about why the governor's actions should not go unanswered.
So persuasive was Henry, the men insisted he be made Commander of the Militia on the spot. They bestowed upon him the uniform and weapons of a patriot: A tan hunting shirt, a rifle and musket-ball, and a single Indian tomahawk.
With the hundred or more militiamen now having the leadership of Henry they marched smartly on Williamsburg, and right into our history books. Governor Dunmore, perhaps a better reader of tea leaves than a warrior for British interests, quickly caved in to Henry's demands and made restitution for the stolen arms.
Henry, Virginia's first militia leader, was a passionate man who held the ideals and realities of the young country in mind. His wisdom and vision allowed him to realize that the right to bear arms would allow the colonists to break free from the clutches of the controlling British monarch.
Years later, he would break from Washington and Jefferson when he insisted that our new Constitution include the right of free speech coupled with the right to bear arms. Henry knew that without these two basic "tools," the nation had little chance of fending off a strong central government's greedy advances.
The president and staff of The Patrick Henry Center believe Patrick Henry was absolutely right - and now join a grateful nation in honoring the courage of our Founding Fathers, especially one, Patrick Henry.
Patrick Henry risked everything on a single idea, and because of his incredible vision and courage, our nation basks in freedom, liberty, and prosperity.

The Political Animals Club in Little Rock was kind enough to invite me to be on a panel last week related to 2014 elections. The lunch meeting at the Governor's Mansion was sold out � likely a testament not to the popularity of my fellow panelists or me but interest in Arkansas elections still more than 15 months away.
The Political Animals Club in Little Rock was kind enough to invite me to be on a panel last week related to 2014 elections. The lunch meeting at the Governor�s Mansion was sold out � likely a testament not to the popularity of my fellow panelists or me but interest in Arkansas elections still more than 15 months away.
Much of the discussion centered on the governor�s race and U.S. Senate race. But discussion on the state Legislature piqued my interest.
The governor�s race appears all but certain to be between two former congressmen � Republican Asa Hutchinson and Democrat Mike Ross. Ross has the money advantage after bringing in nearly $2 million in his recent filing while Hutchinson appears to have a slight advantage in the early preference polls.
Sen. Mark Pryor�s fight for re-election also will be a titan race with unheard of sums spent on both sides. Republicans have a legitimate chance of regaining a majority in the U.S. Senate, and Pryor�s seat could be the key. That means a flood of money from outside the state and a deluge of ads, most of them negative, flooding the airwaves. All indications are that freshman Republican Congressman Tom Cotton will jump in this race, probably later this summer.
Talk of state House and Senate races in 2014 centered on party majorities. Republicans hold a razor-thin margin of 51 of 100 House seats while the Senate has 21 Republicans to 14 Democrats. With only half the Senate seats up for election in 2014, the upper chamber is likely to stay Republican.
Left-leaning panel members argued that the Democratic Party has a good chance of reclaiming its majority in the Arkansas House. They pointed to Democrats controlling the 2010 redistricting process and tilting the map in their favor. In addition, they argued that Mike Ross would be a popular rallying figure for down-ballot candidates and he could be instrumental in putting together the best Democratic team.
The Republican-leaning pundits countered that the red tidal wave that sailed through Arkansas in 2010 and 2012 has only grown. They countered that Republicans not only will hold their seats but will pick up new ones as voters continue to oppose the unpopular policies of President Barack Obama, even though he is not on the ballot.
Both are compelling arguments that easily could be correct, but I think the answer lies in something simpler. The party that controls the Arkansas House will be the party that does the best job of recruiting candidates over the next six months.
Republicans have an opportunity to become the dominant majority party for the foreseeable future, but will do so only if local community leaders choose to run with an �R� instead of a �D� by their names. In times past, business owners, chamber of commerce members, and church leaders who leaned strong conservative often ran as Democrats because the Democratic Party traditionally had won in their areas.
The GOP majority will solidify when those conservative-leaning business leaders begin to file as Republicans. Once that shift happens, it will be difficult for Democrats to turn the trend back in their favor.
The Republican Party is still a young party in Arkansas that has experienced widespread success only in recent years. The 2014 elections could be a tipping point in either direction, particularly in those down-ballot races.

After any tragedy or major news event satellite images can tell the tale of the devastation.
We saw it with the tragic earthquake in Haiti in 2010 — and the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan in 2011.
DigitalGlobe provided images from West, Texas, on Jan. 30, 2012 and April 19, 2013.
U.S. & World
The stark contrast shows the devastation left behind after the fire and explosion at West Fertilizer Co. on April 17 that registered as a magnitude-2.1 earthquake.
The blast killed 14 people and left 200 others injured. West has about 2,800 residents.
Among the scorched and heavily damaged buildings in the shadow of the plant were a 50-unit apartment complex and a nursing home, as well as the town's intermediate school. The high school south of the plant was also damaged.
The blast made perhaps its biggest mark on an apartment building directly across the railroad tracks from the site. The apartment building's roof was collapsed and its windows blown out, and chunks of concrete littered the space between the tracks and the apartments.
Dozens of homes close to the blast — some of which were leveled — may not be accessible to owners for another week or more.
Nearly 70 federal and state investigators are still trying to determine what caused the fire that set off the explosion, they're focusing on the crater left at the plant site. Authorities say there are no signs of criminal intent.

Know our Ocean, Protect our Marine Treasures, Empower Ocean Citizens
Building a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication is at the centre of discussions at the Rio+20 conference. However, the development of this 'green economy' will rely in part on the sustainable management and use of the ocean and its resources.
On 20 June 2012, a Rio+20 side event, moderated by Wendy Watson-Wright (Executive Secretary, Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission UNESCO-IOC), highlighted how the undivided ocean needs inter-related actions in science, protection and education to approach sustainable use of its resources.
Irina Bokova (Director-General, UNESCO) lamented that only 1% of the world's ocean areas are protected, and urged enhancing environmental education so citizens do not take ocean sustainability for granted. On enhancing the knowledge base, she stressed the importance of UNESCO-IOC's Global Ocean Observing System. She noted her organization's leading role in protecting ocean ecosystems through the establishment of marine heritage sites, which represent one-third of the world's marine protected areas. She also recognised the role of UNESCO in building capacity of its member states in ocean management and welcomed the RIO+20 voluntary commitment submitted by UNESCO-IOC in support of capacity development in marine science and observation.
Patricia Miloslavich (Census of Marine Life) stressed that only 10% of total marine biodiversity is known, and noted that 90% of the ocean's biomass is composed of microbes. She highlighted the 90% decline in fish populations from baseline measurements and said that scientific challenges include acquiring an integrated global view, filling knowledge gaps, and knowledge on how humans can use and protect the oceans.
Michel Jarraud (Secretary-General, World Meteorological Organization) presented early warning systems for the protection of coastal communities. Citing the example of Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans in 2005, he underlined that even the most developed countries are vulnerable to natural disasters exacerbated by climate change. Noting that oceans contain memory of the climate system, he explained how the El Niño/La Niña-Southern Oscillation system can have impacts on the other side of the planet such as in Ethiopia's recent drought.
Clayton Lino (Mata Atlântica Coastal and Marine Biosphere Reserve) presented the UNESCO contribution to and the institutional structure of the Mata Atlântica Biosphere Reserve system, where the remnants of Atlantic Forest are associated with relevant secondary forests, forming a unique ecosystem stretching along a distance of more than 3,000 km along the coast. He said that the main threats in Atlantic rainforest coastal areas include chemical pollution, urbanization, fishing and the newly-found offshore oil and gas wells.
Using the Aldabra atoll as an example, Frauke Fleischer-Dogley (CEO, Seychelle Islands Foundation) noted that no other international protected areas system holds its sites accountable for its conservation efforts as does the UNESCO World Heritage Marine Sites. She urged for these sites, which represent 0.3% of the world's oceans, to expand over into the 99% of the oceans that are not protected.
Gillian Cambers (Co-director, Sandwatch Foundation) described a worldwide Sandwatch programme that measures, assesses, shares information and takes action on beaches. She said the programme depends on support from volunteers, UNESCO and the Danish government. She urged to keep citizens at the forefront of conservation.
Romain Troublé (Tara Expeditions) gave an example of a schooner expedition that conducts scientific investigations and promotes marine conservation in coastal communities around the world. He said that oceans must be protected for humanity's sake rather than the whales'.
Jean-Michel Cousteau (President, Ocean Futures Society) said Rio+20 negotiators have the opportunity to protect 20% of the world's open oceans. Cousteau noted that decision-makers often do not have access to the information needed to take proactive decision on the oceans. Noting the examples of President W. Bush and President Zedillo deciding to take action on marine conservation in Hawaii and Baja California, respectively, Cousteau said the secret of convincing politicians to act on the ocean is through their heart, which leads to breaking down their defence systems.

There are many people all over the world these days looking for the home business opportunity that is right for them. Many people expect others to tell them what that perfect opportunity is, but you are the only one that will know which one is right for you.
The opportunity that you decide to start a business needs to feel right for you. No one knows you better than you know yourself.
You need to use this knowledge to help you find the right opportunity for you. You already have ideas that can be used; you just don't realize it yet.
One way to find the business that is right for you to start is to think about what you already know and what your skills are. Start by making a list of your skills, hobbies, interests and any other idea that comes to you.
The list will get your brain working on choosing the best opportunity for you. You can also use your list to help you start a search for opportunities online.
There are thousands of opportunities on the internet that can be used to start a business. To find the perfect one for you, it will take time to look at your options, but it will all be worth it in the end.
Just be sure you look at as many opportunities and ideas as you can find. This will allow you to see just what other people are using to work from the comfort of their own home.
One other important thing to remember is that there will be a lot that you don't know about home business and getting one started. So, you have to ensure that you get started with one that will give you everything needed to allow you to earn money such as marketing help and a website.
Otherwise, you will have to take time to learn how to set all of this up yourself before you can make money with your business.
The last important thing necessary to understand is that picking the best opportunity for you is imperative since this will make it so much simpler for you to achieve success with the business.
Don't just choose an opportunity because you are told that you can make money with it. You really can make money with any opportunity online, but only if you feel good about that particular business and it is one that you like.
When you are searching for the right idea, you have to remember that other people can make suggestions, but you are the only one that knows what home business opportunity is right for you. Don't let someone push you into a business idea; instead, only choose one when you find one that feels right to you.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, at least not with Warren Buffett.
An anonymous bidder paid $2,626,411 to eat lunch with the legendary Berkshire Hathaway investor, setting an eBay record - sort of. Bidding closed at $2,345,678, which would not have been a record, so once the auction closed, the bidder jacked up the price.
Proceeds benefit go to the Glide Foundation, which provides social services to the poor and homeless in San Francisco. Buffett offers himself up as a lunch companion every year in an annually auction that has raised nearly $9 million in the last 12 years. Last year, an anonymous bidder paid $2.6 million, and in 2008, a Chinese investment fund manager paid $2.11 million.
U.S. & World
"I've met a lot of nice people through this," Buffett said.
The winning bidder gets a meal at New York's famous Smith & Wollensky steakhouse and several hours to discuss whatever he or she wants to. The only topic that is off-limits is future investments.
The most expensive item ever sold on eBay was a jet that fetched $4.9 million, eBay spokeswoman Amanda Miller told The Associated Press.

Samsung has officially unveiled the Samsung W2013, a new Android phone with a clamshell design on its Chinese website.
Clamshell handsets have quickly fallen out of favour in the smartphone world as most companies have adopted the large-screen "candybar" shape for their higher end devices. Samsung, however, appears to have ideas about bringing the flip-out look back – at least to the Far Eastern market – with the Samsung W2013.
The phone features a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 800 x 480p resolution that flips up to reveal a full hardware keypad (not a QWERTY keyboard, interestingly). The specs are fairly impressive: there's a 1.4GHz quad-core processor running, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage, microSD expansion and an 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p Full HD video recording capabilities at 30fps. The version of Android on board is 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
It's a powerful enough device to suggest that Samsung thinks that there's a significant market for flip phones in 2012 – although we wouldn't expect it to venture out of China and other Far Eastern countries and make its way to Europe.
The Samsung W2013 price is also likely to put off many, with it being listed as $3,000 (£1,870) according to CoolSmartPhone.
Would you be interested in a high-end clamshell phone like the Samsung W2013, or is the flip smartphone dead and buried? Let us know your thoughts via the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds or through the comments boxes below.

Border collies are probably one of the more popular breeds with farmers that own cattle, sheep, and other farm animals that need to be herded. My sister actually has a friend whose parents breed border collies for a living, and they are real pretty dogs. You will also sometimes see these dogs catching Frisbees in a dog park or even see them compete in canine games. Anyways, someone asked me if I could make a lesson on "how to draw a collie puppy", step by step. Of course I said yes because this is actually another breed that I think is adorable and beautiful. The tutorial itself is pretty easy and I think that a majority of you will love learning from a simple but vivid lesson. I will be back maybe later with some other fun stuff to draw so try and stay tuned in if you can, but I know a lot of you guys have school in the morning. Peace people and enjoy your drawing day!

I'd say at least half of my older Brother machines have come to me with at least one needle plate that's chewed up from breaking needles and my 210 is one of them. Another thing to check is the needle itself, does it have a burr, is it slightly bent so it rubs on the needle plate, is it too small for the thread you're using?

First, somebody just sent me a link to this old MeFi post by someone who recognized him/herself as a Headless Fatty on the local news. S/he asks if there's any legal recourse, and the answer is pretty much no, but the ensuing discussion is really interesting.
Is it really defamatory — ethically, not necessarily legally speaking — to identify a fat person as a fat person? From an FA perspective, no, of course not — but it can still feel that way, even for someone who's fine with her body. The problem is not that your friends and relatives might watch TV and discover the big secret that you're fat — it's that you're there as the embodiment of a freakin' "crisis," and more often than not, the reporting will reinforce that people like you brought this upon themselves, are emotionally dependent on food, are obviously sedentary, have no self-discipline, are suffering from serious health problems or will be soon, are costing other citizens money because of those health problems, yadda yadda. There are a whole lot of presumptions and implied insults there. But because those are only being thrown at "The Obese" in general — not at you, the specific person in the picture — all you can really argue is that they called you fat. Which you are. Not much of a case.
I do love this response from one of the commenters:
The alternative reaction is to parlay your displeasure into celebrity. Picket outside the station with a sign that says, "Why are my pants on TV?" Talk to every reporter in town. Contact some local DJs and see if they'll put you on the air. People love little-guy-versus-authority stories, and if it's about a garish pair of pants, all the better. Have fun.
I do not love that the original poster ultimately concluded that s/he needs to throw out the comfy, recognizable pants and lose weight. Sigh.
So there's that. Second, somebody wrote to me asking if I had any thoughts on the "Headless Fatty" phenomenon, and I was like, "Oh, let me direct you to this perfect post I wrote!" Except then I searched the blog and realized I've never written that post. We talk about HFs all the time, but usually in comments on tangentially related threads.
I did find this one, where I remarked that the photos chosen are usually of people who would fall into the "morbidly obese" BMI category — i.e., about 6% of the population — to illustrate articles about an OBESITY EPIDEMIC BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA that's comprised primarily of people with a BMI of 30-35. (It should go without saying that those in the "death fat" category deserve exactly the same rights and dignity as any other human being — but illustrating a so-called epidemic with pics of people who represent a very small percentage of the population is intentionally misleading.) That's one point. But I still haven't written the epic post I thought I'd written on how decapitating the fatties dehumanizes us, how the photos chosen are inevitably unflattering and clearly meant to evoke disgust rather than merely represent an ordinary fat person, how the headless fatty shot injects a bit of editorializing into even the most objective article, etc.
Unfortunately, it's almost 5 on Friday, and I'm done thinking for the week. So think for me, Shapelings! Your weekend assignment is to give me a brilliant thread on headless fatties that I can point to the next time somebody asks. Thanks!

An unidentified man was taken into custody after crashing his Mercedes in downtown Ft. Worth, TX while completely naked. The Star-Telegram reports the man was rear-ended after running a red light in his white SL 550.
According to witness reports, the man jumped out of the Mercedes—which was still in gear—after the crash and proceeded to calmly walk down the street wearing absolutely no clothing. Although the unattended Mercedes continued moving it crashed into a light pole without injuring anyone.
A police officer on a bicycle caught up with the uninjured naked man and took him into custody. Allegedly the man was spotted before the incident throwing $20 dollar bills in the buff by a nearby church. This naked Mercedes driver was transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth for the mental evaluation it sounds like he badly needed.

The Morenci Area EMS is faring better than ever in keeping its budget in line, reported coordinator Larry Weeks, but that doesn't leave much money for ambulance replacement.
The EMS board is proposing a 10 percent increase in the assessment, with the additional cash placed in a fund for a new ambulance.
"We've done fairly well this year," Weeks said. "We're continuing to cut costs and use money wisely, but we cannot save enough to buy an ambulance."
The 2003 primary ambulance has traveled 91,000 miles and the backup unit—a 1997 vehicle—has 153,000 miles of use. The 2003 model will paid off in January 2013.
Ambulance services typically use a unit for five years as the primary vehicle, then another five years as the secondary one. In areas with lower milage, such as Morenci's situation, a vehicle may be used for 15 years. Weeks figures Morenci's backup unit will reach 15 years before it is retire.
A 10 percent increase would cost Morenci residents and those from Seneca and Medina townships an additional $8.25 a year and $5.50 for apartment buildings and duplexes. The increase would bring in about $15,000 annually for ambulance replacement. A new vehicle costs from $120,000 to $150,000.
The increase for Morenci residents could be softened if council votes to pay off the sewer project bond early. That would reduce the tax bill by $120.
Weeks said there's still confusion about how the ambulance service is funded. About half of the revenue comes from assessments and the other half from billing for services, either to insurance companies or directly to the user of the service.
"The special assessment only assures that the service is available," he said, and is far short of covering the costs.
That's why residents are billed when an ambulance is called. The cost typically varies between $500 and $1,200, depending on the service given.
Many communities fund the ambulance service through a millage that covers the majority of costs. Morenci's system places less of the cost on taxpayers and more on the user.
Although Weeks is proud of how he and staff members have found ways to cut costs—this is the first budget year when borrowing wasn't needed—he has concerns about finances due to the economy.
"Revenues are anticipated to decline due to high levels of unemployment and reduced health insurance benefits to so many people," he said.
He will begin exploring grant possibilities to cover the cost of a new ambulance, but failing that, an increase in the assessment is the only option.

The shoulder seasons of April–May and September–October are the best times to get great deals on Chicago hotels. During these times of the year, you can avoid the huge tourist crowds and still enjoy pleasant weather for exploring the city. If visiting during these months, you can also take advantage of fun-filled festivals such as Mayfest, the official start to Chicago's festival season, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, and Chicago International Film Festival.
Even better deals for hotels in Chicago can be had from November through March, but you'll pay the price with biting cold weather. Some exceptions do pop up around special events such as the McDonald's Thanksgiving Day Parade and February's Chicago Auto Show.
Chicago has several truly elite hotels with world-class service. The Langham, Chicago and The Peninsula Chicago are two outstanding five-star options. Both offer high-end spa services, modern fitness centers with in-house swimming pools, and elegant dining options.
For the savvy business traveler looking for a luxury hotel at a slightly more budget-friendly price, Thompson Chicago Hotel, is an excellent four-star option. Thompson Chicago offers state-of-the-art facilities and packages catering to the business traveler.
From the affordable Inn of Chicago to national chains like Travelodge Hotel Downtown, Chicago has many budget-friendly options that won't break the bank. Both of these hotels are located in the heart of downtown Chicago, making either the perfect option for the business traveler or the tourist. Clocking in at well under $100 per night, these clean and simple properties still offer guests a decent array of amenities, including on-site dining options.
If you'd rather avoid the crowds of downtown Chicago but still enjoy a budget-friendly private room and a vibrant neighborhood, look at some of Chicago's trendiest, more residential neighborhoods. Options include Days Inn Chicago in eclectic Lincoln Park.
Cheap hotels in Chicago abound, however even the cheapest hotels may be beyond the budget of many travelers. If this is the case, consider a hostel. Hostels are highly social environments hosting guests from all around the world. Rooms are normally dormitory style, equipped with bunk beds and lockers for your valuables. Common lounges, communal kitchens, and the shared sleeping spaces offer a great way to meet people and save money. Hostels can be found all over the city, from the downtown area to suburbs further afield. Some excellent hostels are Holiday Jones, a hostel with a boutique hotel feel only 10 minutes from downtown; Wrigley Hostel in Wrigleyville, the party center of Chicago; and Urban Holiday Lofts, located in a renovated 100-year-old warehouse.
Chicago home shares and rentals offer a truly unique way to explore the Windy City. With hundreds of listings on Airbnb, there is something to suit almost any budget. Options range from shared rooms/sofas outside the city center for under $40/night to private rooms in shared homes for well under $100. Excellent deals can be had on entire apartments, some offering high-end finishes with sweeping views of Lake Michigan for under $200. The room share or home share options allow guests to live with locals and get an insider's look into life in Chicago. Plus, access to a kitchen and the ability to cook your own meals can really keep costs down.
Airport hotel options in Chicago, at both O'Hare and Midway, are similar to what you will find in many other cities throughout the United States. Properties here consist mostly of international chains focused on business travelers, such as Hilton Chicago O'Hare*, Four Points by Sheraton Chicago O'Hare*, Hilton Garden Inn Midway Airport* and Sleep Inn Midway*. All of these cheap hotels are located within minutes of airport terminals, making for an easy way to catch those early morning flights.
As with other cities, go a bit farther from the airport and you will find even cheaper hotels and motels, such as Skylark Motel* for Midway or Prime Motel* for O'Hare. These places are basic, but offer bargain basement prices and are relatively close to the airports.
Also known as the Magnificent Mile or The Loop (thanks to the loop that the "L" train lines make as they circle downtown), downtown is definitely the neighborhood to stay in for the business traveler. With easy connections to both O'Hare and Midway Airports, this area is not only the beating heart of Chicago business, it also has plenty of activities to help business travelers kill time between meetings or unwind after a stressful day.
Options include activities along Lake Michigan's shoreline, the Navy Pier, The Art Institute of Chicago, Millennium Park, and theaters such as the Steppenwolf. The area also offers a nearly limitless array of dining and nightlife options from dive bars to Michelin-starred dining.
Lincoln Park, home to Lincoln Park Zoo, is a vast park that borders Lake Michigan and has given its name to the surrounding community area, which stretches inland from the park's western border. The community area encompasses a number of small neighborhoods, together creating an eclectic and vibrant area north of downtown. DePaul University is located here, so you can find inexpensive restaurants, cafés, and bars all around the area, along with a number of music venues. Of course, you can also find upscale national retailers and high-end boutiques. Nightlife options are fun, lively, and varied.
Located south of the downtown area, this neighborhood and community area is home to the prestigious University of Chicago. This area offers up an array of activities for those who like to enjoy nature, with Lake Michigan to the east, Midway Plaisance (a long, narrow park area sandwiched between streets) to the south, and Washington Park to the west. Hyde Park is also famous for several reasons. Midway Plaisance was the home of the first Ferris Wheel, erected when Chicago hosted the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. In more recent years, the neighborhood has gained fame as the home of the Obamas. As with Lincoln Park, there are many inexpensive and high-end retailers, boutiques restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife options to be found.
Chicago's public transit system makes it easy for the independent traveler to navigate the various neighborhoods and sites around the city. However, for those travelers short on time or who wish to get a bit of a history lesson with their sightseeing, Chicago's tour companies offer many excellent choices. The international Gray Line tour bus company operates here, with various "loops" on offer. If you want something more local, try one of the many bicycle tours here that showcase not only downtown but also neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Hyde Park, and others. Finally, don't forget about the river. Cruise operators offer tours covering Chicago's architecture and history or a lovely sunset dinner cruise. Check with your hotel, the tourism center, or just hit the streets with an open eye.
The "L" is Chicago's metro train system, a mix of underground subway and elevated tracks. The "L" is inexpensive and easy to use with eight color-coded lines that all converge in downtown Chicago before branching out north, south, northwest, west and southwest to cover the major neighborhoods and suburbs.
The blue line can take you from O'Hare Airport all the way downtown and then west to Forest Park. The Orange Line starts at Midway Airport and ends downtown, where it connects with the other seven lines. Use the "L" to get to trendy neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park or Hyde Park, as well as Loyola, The University of Chicago, and U.S. Cellular Field for the White Sox.
The only direct north-south options on the "L" system run right along the lakeshore through downtown. If you want to go from north to south without going through downtown, take advantage of Chicago's vast and reliable bus network. The bus system will easily get you everywhere the "L" train can't. It's slightly cheaper than the "L" and sometimes may be an easier option for shorter distances. Plus, with more frequent stops and street level views, it may be easier for newcomers to find what they're looking for.
Rush-hour traffic in Chicago can be an absolute nightmare, and parking in popular neighborhoods can be difficult, time consuming, and expensive. It all gets worse during Chicago's notoriously harsh winters. Leave the car at home and use public transit or hail a passing taxi when the mood strikes. Uber, Lyft, and other ride sharing options are also available. It's best to leave the car at home.

Ew, nasty keyboard
Still loving my NC10, still haven't seen anything better come onto the market, including from Samsung. The best evidence for this is that the NC10 costs more today than it did when I bought one (presumably because it is no longer manufactured?) despite it now having hundreds more models in competition with it.
Genuinely don't understand why people are buying or selling netbooks with 3 hour battery life, or Windows 7, or priced above £250.

Obesity is a condition in which a person is at least 30% over their ideal body weight. Obesity can lead to long term serious health conditions, such as high blood pressure , heart disease, diabetes , and early death. These conditions develop over time and are associated with adults. As the number of obese children rises, these health conditions are increasingly occurring at earlier ages. This led some scientists to wonder what effect increasing rates of childhood obesity will have on mortality in adulthood.
University researchers from Sweden reviewed national data to determine if obesity in youth was linked to an increase in mortality in adulthood. The study found that being overweight or obese in late adolescence did increase the risk of adult mortality.
About the Study
The initial data was collected through a nationwide military registration of young males. The registration included information on height, weight, and smoking habits. All of the men were initially between the ages of 16-20. Weight was categorized using the body mass index (BMI) scale. Overweight was a BMI from 25-29 and obese was any BMI 30 or over. Participants included 45, 920 men. They were followed over a 38-year period. During this time, 2,897 men died. After accounting for factors that are known to influence mortality rates, such as smoking, the data found the risk of mortality was:
- 33% higher for overweight males
- 114% higher for obese males
A second study done from this same data also examined smoking habits. As supported in many previous studies smoking was also associated with early death. Alarmingly, being overweight and obese carried the same mortality risk as moderate and heavy smoking. If the men were obese and heavy smokers, they multiplied risk of death by five.
How Does This Affect You?
Obesity is a growing problem among youth worldwide. This study reinforces the serious health risks of being overweight or obese, even in youth. It is never too early to address childhood obesity. Tobacco, another problem that begins in youth, has long been the number one preventable cause of early death. Obesity, which is far more common than smoking, appears to be in competition for this infamous top spot.
Talk to your child's doctor about a healthy weight range . If your child is overweight, begin by working with a dietitian to determine what changes can be safely and effectively made in your child's diet and activity schedule. Healthy lifestyle habits that are adopted at early ages are more likely to be continued through adulthood.

6.0 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Bologna Italy – Causing death & devastation
A strong earthquake rocked a large swathe of northern Italy early on Sunday, causing at least three deaths and bringing about the collapse of rural factories and ancient bell towers in towns.
The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 04:04 a.m. (0204 GMT) and had a magnitude of 6.0, was in the plains near Modena in the Po River Valley and the tremors were felt in nearby regions.
It was the strongest quake to hit Italy in three years.
One person working a night shift died in the collapse of a factory and two were killed when a modern ceramics factory made of steel crumpled.
Rescue officials were checking reports that other people were buried under rubble.
There was serious damage to historic buildings such as the 14th century Estense Castle in the town of San Felice Sul Panaro, near the epicentre.
There were fears that one of the towers of the famous mediaeval castle, the town's biggest attraction, could collapse. The
town's main church was also severely damaged.
Thousands of people living in the area rushed into the streets after the quake, which shook the major towns of Bologna, Modena, Ferrara, Rovigo, Verona and Mantua. No serious damage was reported in the larger, heavily populated towns and cities.
A series of strong aftershocks hit the area, the strongest measuring 5.1, and local mayors ordered residents to stay out of their homes.
The quake was centred 22 miles (35 km) north-northwest of Bologna at a relatively shallow depth of 6.3 miles (10 km), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The last major earthquake to hit Italy was a 6.3 magnitude quake in the central Italian city of L'Aquila in 2009, which killed nearly 300 people.
Italy Earthquake Latest News Update – In a Glance
- Kills at least four and damages buildings across Emilia Romagna region
- San Felice sul Panaro: 15th-Century castle severely damaged
- Finale Emilia: bell tower collapses, crushing cars
- Sant' Agostino di Ferrara: ceramic factory destroyed, killing two employees
- Buonacompra: historic church destroyed
- Tremor also felt in cities of Bologna, Modena, Ferrara, Rovigo, Verona and Mantua

Federal investigators have confirmed the hot air balloon that crashed in Central Texas Saturday morning came into contact with high-tension power lines. Meanwhile, new information continues to be learned about the 16 passengers killed in the crash.
They include newlyweds and a woman and her daughter on a deferred Mothers Day trip. The experienced pilot had a checkered history behind the wheel, but his balloon with a smile on the side reflected his personality, friends said.
Whiel federal crash investigators haven't determined what caused the crash, they did reveal a memorial for the victims has been set up at the site "There's some bales of hay with some flowers there, and it's very moving," NTSB Board Member Robert Sumwalt said.
U.S. & World
The Investigation
Among the National Transportation Safety Board's early findings was that there were signs the balloon came into contact with power lines. However, investigators were not ready to say that was the cause of the tragedy.
On Monday, Sumwalt said that utility crews and NTSB investigators inspected the power lines and found multiple points of contact, arching and abrasion along the wires.
The NTSB said the examination of the balloon itself showed the top vent was open and the cables were pulled and stretched, which is consistent with a landing maneuver.
Investigators used a helicopter to re-trace the balloon's route near Lockhart. The balloon crashed eight miles from its launch site.
The NTSB said there did not appear to be anything out of the ordinary about the launch. Sumwalt said investigators have interviewed three members of the chase crew.
He reported the team put up a trial balloon at a Walmart in San Marcos in order to determine the wind conditions on the morning of the crash. The team them moved to Fentress Airpark where they launched another test balloon to check the winds.
During the drive between Walmart and Fentress, the ground crew reported patchy fog in low-lying areas and near bodies of water, but told the NTSB that at the time of launch the conditions were clear, Sumwalt said.
During the flight, the pilot and ground crew used a navigation app where they could share messages. At 7:26 a.m., the ground crew received a position update from the pilot, but the ground crew could not locate the balloon and drove around for about an hour trying to call the pilot as well as passengers via phone numbers listed on a manifest, Sumwalt said.
The remains of the balloon and gondola have been taken to a air salvage location in Dallas.
The NTSB, Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Bureau of Investigation expect to wrap up the investigation and leave the site by Wednesday but the investigation will continue in Washington.
"Just because we're leaving this scene does not mean in any way that our investigation is through," Sumwalt said. "This is the very beginning of a long and comprehensive investigation."
Investigators said 14 cellphones, one iPad and three cameras were recovered from the scene. Most were badly damaged from the fire that broke out. All of the devices will be sent to the NTSB's lab in Washington for analysis.
Dental records may need to be used to identify some of the victims, according to Caldwell County Judge Matt Kelly.
Sumwalt asked anyone with video or photos of the incident send information to firstname.lastname@example.com; they could be useful to investigators.
This is the third incident involving a Kubicek balloon, and one prior incident involved the same company, Sumwalt said. NTSB records show of 59 balloon accidents over the past five years.
A hard landing on July 2, 2015, in Fort Carson, Colorado, was attributed to the pilot's improper burner control on a Kubicek balloon. Federal Aviation Administration records show a hard landing in a soccer field involving a Heart of Texas Kubicek balloon, but piloted by a different person and in a different balloon, Sumwalt said.
The Crash Victims
Family members confirmed to NBC DFW that 34-year-olds Matt and Sunday Rowan, of San Antonio, died in the crash. They were newlyweds who left behind a 5-year-old son.
On the morning of the crash, Sunday Rowan posted a picture to a social media site from Fentress, Texas, where the flight originated. In the photo, the couple is seen smiling ear-to-ear. Another photo was snapped high in the sky just 12 minutes before the balloon burst into flames.
Also killed were Lorilee and Paige Brabson of San Antonio. Family members tell NBC affiliate KXAN-TV that Paige Brabson recently gave birth. The balloon ride was Paige's Mother's Day gift to Lorilee, her mother.
Also killed in the crash were three friends from Katy: Joe and Tresa Owens and their friend Holly Smith Huckabee, according to Ashley Burges.
Burges said the hot air balloon ride was a birthday president for her mom Tresa Owens, 53, from Joe Owens, 43, and Huckabee, 50, who was her best friend.
Burges said the balloon ride was originally scheduled for May but was rescheduled because of weather.
"The hot air balloon was something Tresa always wanted to do. Joe didn't want to as much, but he did it for Tresa. He would do anything for Tresa," Burges said. "We are at peace knowing that they were having the time of their lives and enjoying themselves."
Scott Douglas, was also identified by the Justice of the Peace in Lockhart as one of the victims. He's the only victim to be officially identified via dental records. No date of birth was given, his family has been notified.
John and Stacee Gore, of Mineral Wells, were also killed according to the couple's pastor. The couple was celebrating their third wedding anniversary.
The pilot, 49-year-old Alfred "Skip" Nichols, also died. Friends said he had decades of experience flying hot air balloons. Neighbors left flowers at Nichols' home in the city of Kyle. They remembered Nichols' personality and the hot air balloon with a smile on the side.
"It [the balloon] had a happy face on it," said neighbor Alix Ramczyk. "It really made you smile and that was just the kind of guy that he was."
An Associated Press report on Nichols said he previously operated a balloon touring company in Missouri and that the company had an "unsatisfactory" record for not responding to complaints and had a history of driving while intoxicated, though his girlfriend said he was four years sober.
Nichols' friend and roommate, Alan Lirette, said he wanted everyone to know Nichols was a great pilot.

Miley Cyrus is set to host "Saturday Night Live" this week in her first extended live TV appearance since her raunchy August performance on the MTV Video Music Awards got tongues wagging.
The former child star, whose twerking antics offended some and made her a laughingstock to others, no doubt hopes to shake some intentional chuckles out of "SNL" viewers. While there's plenty of potential for humor, the show is shaping up as a test of whether Cyrus in on the joke or whether the joke's on her. Perhaps more important: Does she understand the difference or does she even care?
Cyrus, whether by design or accident, has succeeded in grabbing attention, though in a way more akin to a talent-free reality show star than someone who exhibited some comedy and musical potential in her not-so-distant teenage years. Like other former kiddie show veterans, the ex-Disney fixture is clearly in an image-busting phase.
U.S. & World
There's a blurred line, though, between image busting and long-term career busting. Success won't be determined alone by Cyrus inspiring buzz over whether she's a train wreck or a wrecking ball (even if "Wrecking Ball" isn't a bad pop song).
While Cyrus's long-term strategy is unclear, her "SNL" stint is certainly a good short-term coup for the comedy program, which hasn't shied away over the years from enlisting hosts touched by controversy.
Andrew Dice Clay's appearance in 1990 spurred cast member Nora Dunn to boycott the show in protest of the comic's misogynist stage persona. Heiress, sex tape star and reality show figure Paris Hilton offered a memorably one-dimensional performance in 2005.
Lindsay Lohan launched one of her comebacks last year with an "SNL" hosting gig, mining her troubles for humor. She's experienced more woe since, though she recently began working the late night comedy circuit again, appearing last week in a skit with Jimmy Fallon mocking Cyrus' twerking spectacle.
Lohan, at 27, could tell the former "Hannah Montana" star plenty about the pitfalls of transitioning from child actor to adult celebrity. Cyrus, who turns 21 next month, at least showed a good sense of humor when she last hosted "SNL" a couple years ago. She played Justin Bieber in the program's "Miley Cyrus Show" skit, which is likely to be revived this weekend.
Let's hope Cyrus' recent outrageous turn is just an act. We'll feel less guilty about laughing at her – or with her – this Saturday. In meantime, check out some promos below:

The Jazz Messengers
Composed by Lee Morgan who clearly knew his way around the tune.
Walter Davis plays piano on this particular film. Jymie Merritt on bass, Lee Morgan on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on bass, Art Blakey on drums.
The Messengers began with a series of groups led or co-led by drummer Blakey and pianist Horace Silver, but the name was not used on the original recordings.
However, Blakey had used the name "Jazz Messengers" since the late forties for various groups.
That's how we grow.

Newt Gingrich's recent proposal of a U.S. colony on the moon have plenty of observers scratching their heads — but Jon Stewart is nonplussed.
"Your solution to being accused of grandiosity is, 'Give me your ears, and I'll have a [expletive] moon base?' Did you start with Death Star and you got kind of reined in?" Stewart asked on "The Daily Show" Thursday night.
He also mocked Gingrich's suggestion that once 13,000 Americans had moved to the moon, they could petition the U.S. for statehood.
"13,000 — that's not a state! That's like a condo development," he observed. "You wanna be like a lunar Trump."
But Stewart had an idea as to why Gingrich was so keen on the idea of a moon colony, and it involved some of the former House Speaker's historical philandering with women younger than his wives.
"I see what's going on here. This isn't about making new states. Newt Gingrich did that global warming ad with Nancy Pelosi, realized that the earth is very sick and now he wants to leave it for a younger planet."

Rooney's brace against Saints sends United clear but De Gea's sins almost cost dearly
Manchester United 2 Southampton 1
MANCHESTER UNITED were forced to survive a second-half Southampton bombardment before edging seven points clear in the Barclays Premier League title race.
However, whilst Wayne Rooney's hot streak continued with a first-half brace that took him to nine goals in nine games, of far more concern to Sir Alex Ferguson was his side's shocking display after the interval, and David de Gea's goalkeeping.
De Gea carried much of the responsibility for Jay Rodriguez's early opener and looked nervy throughout, almost spilling Rickie Lambert's free-kick straight to Adam Lallana.
The visitors spent almost the entire second period camped in the United half and were only denied a deserved point by some desperate defending as United failed completely to stem the tide of attacks.
Despite their lofty status, certain negative topics have gone round on a depressing loop for the Red Devils this season. Bad defending, weak goalkeeping, conceding the first goal.
So, after just two minutes came the perfect storm. An underhit and misdirected back pass from Michael Carrick, De Gea failing completely to block, and Rodriguez stroking into an empty net.
As the goal came not that long after news emerged of a Stoke bid for England keeper Jack Butland, stories linking Asmir Begovic with an Old Trafford switch were instantly gaining strength.
On this occasion, De Gea should not shoulder all the blame.
Indeed, if he had 'cleaned out' Rodriguez, as some in the stands suggested, he could quite easily have conceded a penalty and been sent off, leaving his team-mates with a much stiffer task than the one they ended up facing.
Equally, it cannot be denied De Gea's attempt to intervene was soft in the extreme and offered more ammunition for those who say the Spain youngster, as agile as he is, simply cannot cope with the demands made of him in the Premier League.
Southampton's problem was that despite their delirium, they still had another 88 minutes to get through against a side so used to coming from behind it is almost routine.
They never looked likely to manage it.
One excellent through-ball from Shinji Kagawa was all it took to slice through the visitors' defence, allowing Rooney to charge forward and score.
Kagawa hit a post on United's next attack and it took some excellent goalkeeping from Artur Boruc to keep the hosts at bay as returning Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck both threatened danger.
Rooney's first goal had been his 100th at Old Trafford.
It also meant Manchester United have scored in a record 61 consecutive Premier League home matches.
In neither instance was it likely to be the last.
And when Patrice Evra climbed highest at the far post to meet Van Persie's free-kick, the France defender left Rooney with the easiest of tap-ins from barely a yard.
Not that anything can be taken for granted with Sir Alex Ferguson's side, as the United boss himself outlined in his programme notes.
And with the hosts struggling to find their rhythm at the start of the second period, Mauricio Pochettino's team pushed forward in search of a leveller, with substitute Lallana having a significant influence as Rickie Lambert twice went close.
Amid the kamikaze defending that eventually heralded the introduction of Rio Ferdinand, perhaps the most telling moment came when De Gea spilled Lambert's long-range free-kick.
A gasp went round Old Trafford before De Gea pounced to deny Lallana a tap-in, sarcastic cheers - admittedly from a minority - when the keeper next caught the ball indicating the former Atletico Madrid man may be reaching the point of no return with the Red Devils.
Briefly, United relieved the pressure, with Van Persie's goalbound header brilliantly saved by Boruc before the Dutchman had an effort ruled out for a debatable offside.
But Southampton were soon back on the offensive, which meant, finally, United fans were able to cheer something positive from De Gea, an excellent flying save to turn away Lambert's free-kick.
Nemanja Vidic flung himself in the way of another Lambert piledriver before Rooney, who finished playing on the left as defensive cover for an overrun Evra, ensured the Saints' final assault got nowhere.

January 22, 1938 - November 23, 2016 Joe (Joseph Carmine) Esposito passed away peacefully in Calabasas, California, at 78. Joe was born of Italian immigrants in Chicago, Illinois. He was a happy, jovial man who made friends with everyone he met. Often his children were told "Your father is the nicest man I've ever known!" An Italian through and through, he loved to cook and entertain, nurturing family and friends, thriving in the laughter and enjoyment around the table. His playful nature endeared him to many, and he was gifted in reaching out and staying in touch. And, of course, music was a great love¿ Best known as Elvis Presley's road manager and best friend, Joe and Elvis met in the army in 1958, while stationed in Germany. They worked together until Elvis' death in 1977. He also worked with Michael Jackson, The Bee Gees, Karen Carpenter and John Denver. He has written multiple books about his life with Elvis, and was a great source of stories and antidotes for Elvis fans until the day he passed, constantly appearing at Elvis conventions and celebrations. Joe was preceded in death by his wife, Martha (Gallub), and survived by his three children, Debbie and Cindy - from his first marriage to Joan (Kardashian), and Anthony - from his second marriage to Martha, and his three grandchildren, Cody, Rebecca and Dylan. Private memorial only. Please contact family at his email address. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to John Douglas French Alzheimer's Foundation (jdfaf.org).

text: Dogs are a pleasure to be around and to pet, especially when they have a thick, shiny and healthy coat. Some dogs however suffer from itchy, flaking skin and lacklustre coats. These are problems which can be easily remedied by incorporating a healthy diet into your dog's routine and with the use of shampoos and conditioners to keep the coat clean. Your dog's skin and coat rely on a balance of protein and vitamins to keep it looking healthy and when it doesn't, it often originates from a nutrient deficiency or problems with digestion. Here at Vet Medic, we recommend that all owners feed their dogs a balanced diet which will not only prevent deficiencies from occurring but will also aid in health maintenance, growth and development.

Elkhart, Ind.-based Patrick Industries Inc. announced today (March 5) that it has completed the acquisition of the business and certain assets of Decor Mfg. LLC, a premier laminating operation located in Tualatin, Ore., for a purchase price of approximately $4.4 million. According to a press release, Decor primarily produces laminated and wrapped products for the Oregon recreational vehicle market.
"The Oregon market is significant in terms of RV market potential as it relates to overall Northwestern United States RV production levels, and we estimate it to be the second largest RV producing geographic sector outside of the Midwest," stated Todd Cleveland, president and CEO of Patrick, an RV and manufactured housing supplier. "We are excited about partnering with the extremely talented management team at Decor, who have built long-standing trusted relationships with customers in the Northwest.
"They will be an asset to Patrick as we look to continue to bring value to our customers in terms of price, flexibility, proximity, innovation, quality, and an overall ease of doing business. In addition to providing opportunities for the company to increase its market share and per unit content, we believe the acquisition will afford immediate potential to establish a significant RV presence in the Northwest."
The acquisition was funded through borrowings under Patrick's revolving credit facility and the issuance of 100,000 shares of Patrick common stock. The company estimates Decor's annualized 2012 revenues to be approximately $17 million.
The business will continue to operate on a stand-alone basis under the Decor Mfg. name in its existing manufacturing facility in Tualatin. Patrick currently operates a high-pressure laminate manufacturing cell for the industrial market and a distribution center for the RV and manufactured housing markets in its existing nearby Woodburn, Ore., facility.
