During the Indian Gulch Fire in Golden in 2011, Councilor Bill Fisher and I found that we were able to use our email lists, websites, and social media networks in ways that were pretty helpful to community members across Golden. After the fire, we put together a report describing what we had done, how well it worked, and the lessons we drew from the experience. In the months after the fire, we shared informal versions of the report with City Council, city staff, and the community, but Bill and I thought it would be worth sharing a slightly cleaner and slightly more polished version. It took a while, but we've got a slightly more formal version of the report we can share with anyone interested in learning from our experience.
Although the Indian Gulch Fire occurred a couple of years back, long and challenging fire seasons are probably here to stay (as Coloradans experienced yet again this summer), and the devastating floods of the past couple of weeks ago are a reminder that Colorado communities are susceptible to other crises, as well.
In reviewing and cleaning up the draft, we found that the observations and conclusions are still accurate and relevant. Because we had built strong email, web, and social media networks, because we weren't part of the formal chain of command, and because we had earned trust and credibility from the community, we were able to fill a communication role that community members desperately wanted but which city and county officials couldn't provide.
The short version of our lessons learned:
- Community members were hungry for information, and the official communication channels (while important) couldn't move quickly enough to provide what the community wanted.
- Providing frequent updates, even if there wasn't much new information to report, was extremely important to community members.
- Bill and I were effective in our ad-hoc communication/engagement/liaison role in part because we spent a lot of time on the ground talking with first responders, community members, and others.
- Doing a good job of gathering and sharing information was time-consuming.
- There can be some trade-offs between speed and accuracy, but local governments can't rely exclusively on their traditional systems for aggregating and vetting information; people in the community are generating and sharing huge amounts of information and they aren't waiting to see what the official channels are reporting.
- Because the emergency response was so strong – high quality teams that were well managed and coordinated – Bill and I didn't have to expend any energy dealing with those types of operational issues. We were able to focus almost exclusively on communication and outreach with the community.
- Although community members collectively relied on a wide range of information sources, individuals tended to rely on only one or two. In other words, if we wanted to reach most community members, we had to rely on a range of communication tools.
- Facebook and Twitter were the most valuable tools for quick, frequent updates.
- Email newsletters played a central role as a less frequent but more thorough bedrock communication tool.
- Facebook and Twitter users can dramatically amplify the information they gather. If we provided frequent, high-quality information on these channels, that's what spread quickly through these social networks. If we didn't, then the quality of the information spreading through the networks was less reliable.
- It was important that we responded quickly to the questions and queries we received via email, our websites, and social media.
- Although it was unplanned, Bill and I were a good team for this role. We both had a lot of credibility in the community; by virtue of being on the city council and mayor, respectively, we were highly connected to the flow of information about the fire; we had both already built up strong email, web, and social media networks; and we were both highly sensitive to the risk of distributing inaccurate information. In addition, we had worked closely together for a long time, and trusted each other, so it was easy to share responsibilities throughout the entire crisis.
Feel free to download the full "Indian Gulch Fire – Lessons Learned" report if you're interested. We welcome your thoughts on any of this, especially about where we go from here: how can the City of Golden (and other local governments around the country) – during natural disasters and perhaps at other times as well – be responsive to the growing use of social media and other internet-based tools for monitoring what's happening in Golden and for engaging with the City and with each other as community challenges present themselves.
Jacob & Bill

Did you know that twins can and do flip breech in the third trimester? I didn't think this was possible until it happened during an ultrasound at 33 weeks. My OB (I was risked out of homebirth and risked out of midwifery practices locally) was concerned that my baby B was not growing concordantly with her sister, Baby A. I was flat on my back for about an hour, so I imagine that was how it happened. Still, I insisted on planning for a VBAC as I had read numerous times that as long as Baby A was vertex, a cesarean may not be necessary. My OB begrudgingly (at first) got on board.
We had friends in town near my due date but decided to drive 3 hours to Glacier to show it off. I hadn't planned on going, but I didn't want to be left behind, and even though I was 37 weeks pregnant with twins, I wasn't concerned about imminent birth. I had been having pretty awful pelvic pains since about week 30 due to Baby A's position, but I thought an easy walk up on Logan Pass might do me some good. I'm sure I was a terrifying site! We returned to Missoula and went to an orchestra concert in the park. Man oh man was Baby A hurting me.
I was so disappointed to discover at the next ultrasound (checking growth on B and position on A) that Baby A flipped breech. No, I didn't feel it. Crazy, huh? It was very hard to palpate me and know what and who you were feeling. Everything felt like bums and heads and legs and backs. Hence the continued desire for ultrasound. (Please reserve your criticisms if you have any for some other venue. I am not an advocate for the overuse of technology. When you've been down my road, you'll see why certain decisions were made by me and for me.)
Around midnight of August 21, 2010, I was plopping myself in bed. I had gotten into this ritual of listening to hynobabies tracks (twins affirmations, turn baby turn), trying to relax my pelvis, and trying to get in some sort of a position to sleep. I usually had to start in some sort of child's pose. Baby A would wiggle and squirm and hurt me, owie!! This was the dance. We tried everything to get these babies turned – acupuncture, moxibustion, swimming, handstands in the pool (yeah, but don't try summersaults in the water because you might pass out), chiropractic care. But I knew that I was still feeling feet in my pelvis. This night was no exception.
Kick . . . kick . . . squirm . . . kaPOW! And just like that my water broke everywhere. I cried, "they're going to cut me open." I gathered my wits about me and started getting ready for the hospital. I didn't even bother calling my doula. I knew it was feet. I knew she wouldn't be allowed in the surgical suite. Can you believe that at nearly 39 weeks pregnant I still didn't have a hospital bag packed? How's that for denial.
Contractions started about 15 minutes after my water broke. I was in full on labor by the time we got to the hospital, oh about an hour or so later? My doc didn't come in for me. No surprise. These doctors here in Missoula! Great prenatal care, but they don't give a rats ass who takes care of you when it comes to birth. He told me he was in town, but technically he was on vacation. It was the middle of the night. I guess I wasn't important enough for him to show up. Luckily the on call doc had a good reputation.
I was laboring away in L&D. I agreed to be prepped for a cesarean but insisted on an ultrasound to confirm breech baby A. The doc agreed that if A was vertex we were a go for VBAC. I was glad to know I wouldn't have to fight him on this. Most docs would balk at a primary VBAC with twins especially if they didn't already know you. Ultrasound confirmed that Baby A was still breech.
The anesthesiologist wheeled my hospital bed down to surgery. We arrived at the room, and he asked me to walk to the table. Seriously? How bizzare, but ok, it at least makes for a strange thing to post on my blog, eh? The doc was very nice, and his CNM was his surgical assistant.
I was a disaster. I felt like I couldn't breath. I was afraid I was going to feel cutting. It seemed like they really had to tug at little Baby B to get her out. They told me that my uterus was unusually thin. WTF does that mean? What sort of implication SHOULD that have for future births, if there are any? No one really seems to have answers. I saw my regular OB for my 6 weeks check, and he didn't think it really meant anything predictive. Who knows who does or doesn't have a thin uterus unless you're cutting into it, right? Oh, and the OB who delivered my babies nicked my bladder, so that was lovely. Surgical error! Does it happen, yes, but it shouldn't. He never apologized – of course that would be admitting to making a surgical error!
The babies were just perfect. Ultrasound did NOT in any way help us with growth concordance because Baby A was 7lbs 5oz, and Baby B was 5lbs 3oz. Good sized babies for twins, but still the disparity was surprising to my regular OB.
Recovery was fine except for the horribly annoying catheter and pee bag I got to carry around thanks to the hole in my bladder. The first on call doc to check on me suggested that I go home on Sunday after a Friday morning cesarean. Was he nuts!?! I decided to leave on Monday, and when my OB checked in on me, he thought I should be staying until Tuesday. I didn't feel the need, and the hospital recovery room was way too small, and I did not enjoy sharing a shower with the neighboring room. So, we headed out – the new little brood, my hubby, and me.
9 months later, we're doing great. E (my baby A) is crawling all over the place and has a big personality. L (my baby B) is the most chillax baby ever and has a great sense of humor. I am still sore & tender on the left side of my abdomen. I think it's mostly from E's position in utero, but it could also be from the surgery. My pelvic bones still move & pop – it's really creepy. I'm still grieving the fact that I haven't birthed a baby from my body. Three babies have been removed surgically from my body. I don't know that I'll ever experience a natural birth. Perhaps that's not my destiny. What is my destiny is to love and care for my three precious daughters, my husband, my students, my colleagues and friends, my extended family, my home, my amazing garden, and all that God's grace provides.
Be well!

The West Jersey Society Records in TS 12, covering 1675 to 1921, relate to tracts of land in West and East Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Englandand elsewhere, divided up as shares of the company. The records contain many names in the original correspondence, minute books, registers of shares, original deeds, and papers about claims.
The West New Jersey Society was a company formed about 1691 for the development of the 'Hereditary Government of West Jersey in America'. Tracts of land in West and East New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New England and elsewhere were divided into 1,600 parts, forming the shares of the adventurers. These on death fell to the heirs, executors or administrators of the deceased.
The affairs of the society failed to prosper and by the turn of the seventeenth century its development work had practically ended, although it remained possessed of its lands and property. These were gradually disposed of and by 1819 the whole of the society's effects had been realised. Thereafter, its duties consisted of dividing its assets among its shareholders.
In 1914 only twenty-eight and one third shares remained unclaimed, and in November of that year a Statement of Claim (Hovell and others v Attorney General 1914 H No 2476) was filed by three persons representing the society, in which they stated their readiness to deal with the funds constituting the remaining shares, if still unclaimed, as bona vacantia belonging to the Crown. These funds were transferred to the Crown, by an order in Chancery of March 1923.
Although the records throw little light upon the society's trading activities during the early years of its existence, they provide much information concerning its holdings of land in New Jersey. Details concerning the management and disposal of these can be obtained from the society's correspondence with its agents in America as well as from its minute and letter books, accounts, deeds, plans, etc.
The records, and particularly the accounts and share registers, also illustrate the gradual distribution of the society's assets among those persons with a claim on its shares.
A significant gap is the absence of a minute book for the period between 1703 and 1728. However, it is suggested in the Society's official history that this might be because little business of note was transacted during that time.

As the New York Yankees were winding down their spring training, they made stops in Washington, D.C. and West Point for exhibition games.
As the New York Yankees were winding down their spring training, they made stops in Washington, D.C. and West Point for exhibition games.
Adam Warren, fighting for a spot on the roster, pitched against the Army Black Knights last Saturday.
After he came out of the game, Yankees� manager Joe Girardi shook the New Bern native�s hand and offered him congratulations.
�He said �Congrats, you are going to stick with us,�� Warren said.
Warren made the cut for the New York Yankees� 25-man Opening Day roster.
�It�s a dream come true,� Warren said. �It�s really special to be out on the field wearing pinstripes. It�s an indescribable feeling having a chance to stand beside Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte, two of the Yankee greats.�
Warren, wearing jersey No. 43, is thrilled to have another opportunity to pitch at Yankee Stadium. This time, he feels better prepared.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound right-hander pitched one game for the Yankees last season. He gave up six earned runs, and two home runs, in 2.1 innings in his Major League Baseball debut versus the Chicago White Sox on June 29 of last season.
Warren is the Yankees� 17th-best prospect, according to Yankees.com.
�The biggest thing I learned from that start was what it was like to pitch in that big game,� he said. �It was a learning experience. It was kind of hard to make an adjustment, but I�ve learned that sometimes you have to take a step back and slow it down a little bit.�
Warren was demoted back to Triple-A the day after his initial start. He said that motivated him to work his way back to the big leagues.
�I feel like I can pitch at this level and pitch better than I showed,� he said. �It gave me that drive that I had to get back and I have to prove that I�m better than that.
�It drove me to work hard in the offseason and get to the point where I have another opportunity.�
Warren has an array of pitches � a two-seam fastball, a four-seam fastball, a changeup, curveball and slider. He is fastball ranges from low to mid 90s.
The Yankees are carrying 12 pitchers on their roster. Warren, typically a starting pitcher, will be used in a long-relief role.
�It�s different coming out of the bullpen because I haven�t really done it that much in my career,� Warren said. �I have to take the same approach, make sure I am ready, go through the same stretching routine and stay mentally prepared throughout the game because you never know when they may need me.
�The biggest thing is to make sure I am prepared at any time to come in.�
Warren, who pitched most of last season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, threw five games and 15.1 innings for New York in spring training.
During the spring, Warren posted a record of 0-2 with an 8.15 ERA with eight strikeouts and 10 walks.
His best games were his first two of the spring.
Warren tossed two scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays Feb. 24, and then he allowed a run in three innings to the Boston Red Sox March 3.
He said he�s been learning a lot from some of the veteran pitchers on the Yankees.
�I�m always watching those guys,� Warren said. �I watch to see how they go about their business and what kind of routines they go through. I just try to learn what makes them so successful and I try to incorporate that into what I do.
�It�s been fun for me to be around guys like Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera, guys who have been so successful, and pick their brain a little bit.�
Warren started 26 games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last summer � posting a 7-8 record with a 3.71 ERA and 107 strikeouts.
The Yankees lost their season-opener, 8-2, Monday to the Boston Red Sox. After a day off Tuesday, they take on the Red Sox on Wednesday in a game televised on ESPN.
�I�m just trying to soak it all in, but you have to get over the shock and realize you are there to pitch and you can�t be in too in awe the whole time,� Warren said.
�It�s special and I will always remember it, but at the same time, I have to get focused and try to help the team win.�
Adam Warren
Team: New York Yankees
College: North Carolina
High School: New Bern
Throws: Right
Pitches: Four-seam fastball, two-seam fastball, changeup, curveball and slider.
Last season (with AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre): 26 starts; 7-8 record; 3.71 ERA; 107 strikeouts.

I created some queues for my tasks to organize the tasks. Sometimes I need to pass a task to someone else to complete. It would be great to have the ability to share queues, so shared tasks in a queue would already appear in the correct queue for the person who inherit the task.

Blood is thicker than water, including with Corvettes. And Dustin Mileham's DNA runs deep when it comes to Chevy's flagship sports car, although it didn't show up right away.
"My parents had an '81 T-top, black-on-black Vette," he recalls. "I can remember my dad and I cruising in that, and I had such a good feeling riding around with him." That experience planted a seed, yet one that wouldn't germinate until years later. He promised himself that he'd buy a brand-new black-on-black of his own on his 30th birthday. Well, life happened, and the Corvette didn't.
Undeterred, much later he heard that a good friend was selling his '05 C6 convertible for a screamin' deal, so he finally obtained that set of Bow Tie keys he had desired for so long. Initially the plan was to leave the car stock. That lasted about six months.
Proceeding in baby steps, the project started out as a basic repaint. Later, feeling his oats, Mileham expanded his ambitions to bolt on an aggressive wide-body package, handled by Toby Goodman at Liberty Collision. This conversion provided the look of a customized Grand Sport, without the new-car buy-in.
"The panels were factory fenders, so they went on very easy. The hood was another story," Goodman admits. "It had to be primed and blocked three times." The fitting took some work as well, since it was an aftermarket unit.
To be fair, we've seen some occasional variation in mass-production chassis parts as well, so we're not going to point any fingers here. Actually, the greater challenge was just finding the right GS and Z06 pieces from the factory.
"It's like putting a puzzle together, getting all the pieces to fit," Mileham explains. "But it's confusing how GM does its parts numbers. I had the dealer fax me diagrams, and even the parts-counter guys were confused."
He had them send as many as three different parts in some cases, then returned the ones that didn't work. The inner fender liners in particular were a bear, but once Goodman found the ones where the holes lined up and didn't stick out beyond the fender lip, they fit just right.
While Mileham admits he saved a lot of money by doing a body swap, he still paid for it in nearly a week's worth of head-scratching and Web-searching to develop a list of part numbers. Fortunately, he's a stand-up guy, and he doesn't mind sharing them, if you ask nicely.
Overall the body swap was fairly straightforward—just time consuming because it all had to be done by hand. If any VETTE readers have plans to do a similar project, figure on around 40 hours in blocking, another eight hours in color sanding, and a final eight hours in buffing. (Remember, you can't rush art.)
Of course, to match the tough, dark suit of body armor with smoked lights and a ZR1 carbon-fiber rear wing, Mileham needed bigger wheels. Dub three-piece rims got the nod, sized 19x10 inches in the front and 20x13 inches in the rear. Those made room for a Corvette Z06 big-brake kit with cross-drilled rotors.
With improved stopping power, Mileham came to the inevitable conclusion that he could add way more go-power as well. But rather than relying on the top-secret military skunkworks of Lucius Fox, Mileham drew on the technical expertise and chassis dyno of his Reno, Nevada, shop, Street to Sand.
The name is actually a bit of a misnomer, as Mileham's brother handles the off-road projects, while Dustin does the street and strip cars. These include a large number of Corvettes, with custom tuning ranging from simple PCM reprogramming to aspirate the thin air of the high Sierras, to popular performance bolt-ons, to all-out,1,000-plus-hp race-car setups.
Since Mileham pilots his wide-body C6 around town, he eschewed competition-grade extremes in favor of street-friendly power enhancers. These include Dynatech long-tube headers feeding a '12 ZR1 dual-mode exhaust system. When the throttle is stomped past the 25 percent position and 3,500 rpm (which happens with some frequency, we assume), this setup diverts exhaust flow through an un-baffled path inside the mufflers. Mileham claims that the complete setup is typically worth around 40 extra hp.
Add to that a pair of Patriot CNC Stage 3 heads and a Trick Flow Stage 4 camshaft, and you get another 60 to 80 hp, for a total increase from a stock 330 to a positively superheroic 430 rear-wheel hp. Not content to leave well enough alone (do we sense a theme here?), Mileham got juiced with a 150-horse nitrous system from Nitrous Express. Allowing for a slight parasitic loss in the drivetrain, he's seen 570 rwhp on the dyno.
To properly harness the fatter powerband, he threw in a billet Yank 3,500-rpm-stall torque converter. And for hunkering down on mountain switchbacks, he included an Eibach lowering kit and sway bars (32mm front, 29mm rear), along with stiffer Z06 leaf springs. But he still had one more area that required more attention.
"Being in a convertible, the all-tan interior was an eyesore," he admits. "So I tore it out and upgraded most of it." He started by stripping down the OEM seats and installing the '12 Corvette padding and seat covers. Most of the interior was hydro-dipped in a carbon-fiber design by Hoggskinz in Reno. This procedure, called hydrographics, uses a hydrotransfer process by which the ink graphic is transferred into the paint to create a unique airbrushed appearance.
In addition, Mileham installed a custom-wrapped steering wheel and cockpit accents upholstered with high-quality black leather and tan stitching. He also removed the OEM tan carpet in favor of black, laying down sound deadener in the process.
"From start to finish, I have about six months into the build, and I am very happy with the car now," he says. "I basically have a 600hp Grand Sport for half the price of a new one."
Problem is, now that he has the look of a Dark Knight, everybody bad-boy car guy in town now wants to take him on, sort of like when the Joker egged "the bat man" into a street fight. We don't have to tell you how that would end.

The words have been referenced, mangled, misremembered, celebrated and (of course) parodied for decades, and while few people remember the full, accurate quote, the sentiment conveyed is unmistakable: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
Those ringing words are, of course, the unofficial motto of the United States Postal Service. They're inscribed across the facade of what might be the most famous post office in the world: the monumental, Beaux-Arts James Farley building on 8th Avenue in Manhattan, right across the street from Madison Square Garden. The phrasing of the message might feel a bit archaic, but the message is clear: nothing stops the mail, and nothing stops those who deliver the mail, from getting through.
Over the years, however, the postal service's image, and its employees, have taken a beating. Calls are forever emerging from Congress—and from the public—to fully and finally privatize the USPS and uncouple it from the feds. (The service is currently an independent arm of the U.S. government.) The phrase "going postal" is enshrined in the lexicon as a synonym for committing mayhem. One of the strangest figures in recent pop culture history, Newman on Seinfeld, was for years the most public—and most unfortunate—face of the modern mail carrier: bitter, lazy, quick to anger, forever put-upon.
It wasn't always like this. For generations, the postal service was embraced as an American treasure. The idea that one could slap an inexpensive stamp on an envelope in Maine and a stranger would, within days, safely and reliably hand-deliver that letter to someone in California suggested a kind of national ingenuity and generosity that any citizen could take pride in.
Even if the image of the intrepid mail carrier braving anything thrown his or her way—blizzards, rabid dogs, vampires, whatever—was largely based on a self-serving myth, the notion of that mail carrier was nevertheless something that we, as a country, wanted to keep alive. It fit in quite well with other long-ballyhooed traits and values—self-reliance, individuality, neighborliness, thrift—that Americans have always championed as their own (even if we haven't always put them into practice).
Here, LIFE.com offers a series of pictures made by LIFE photographers through the years—photos that pay tribute to mail carriers, other postal workers and to the postal service as a whole. (Especially striking, perhaps, in all of these photographs is that fact that—while today's post office is as diverse a workforce as one is likely to find anywhere—the faces of the postal employees in this gallery are virtually all white.)
In an elemental sense, the pictures here recall a national myth in which hardly any of us still believe, while as a nation we struggle, consciously and unconsciously, to figure out what that one myth's gradual disappearance says about the United States' past, and its future.

Summit County Fishing Report: Warmth brings tailwater fishing
With the recent "warm spell," afternoons will offer periods when anglers can fish tailwater fisheries such as the Blue River below Dillon and South Park's Dream Stream and not have to deal with icing guides. Stealth, light tippets and small midges (18's and smaller) are the norm. If you're first on the water (rare), consider trying a small streamer in deeper runs.
For most anglers, ice fishing remains the primary game. Green Mountain Reservoir has a good foot of ice and has been fishing fair for small lake trout, mostly in the 14-20 inch class. Most successful anglers are working with tubes tipped with sucker meat in waters 40 feet and deeper. Go shallower near shore for rainbows and browns.
Wolford Reservoir has over a foot of ice. Due to low water, only ATVs and snowmobiles are allowed on the ice, no street vehicles. Be aware, there is some open water near the northern tower. Be safe and avoid fishing near there. Fishing for trout has been good using a variety of baits and jigs.
Always a favorite of lake trout anglers, Granby fishing has slowed a bit. However, by going to 2-3-inch tubes and jigs a few fish are being caught. Tipping them with a strip of sucker is a good idea. Consider moving away from heavily fished areas for better action. With nearly a foot of ice, ATV and snowmobiles will get you to those areas without issue. South Park, Antero and Eleven Mile reservoirs are producing a few fish, but action has slowed over the last couple weeks. However, fishing traffic hasn't slowed.
Editor's Note: The Summit County Fishing Report should reappear on upcoming Wednesdays.

New potatoes have thin, wispy skins and a crisp, waxy texture. They are young potatoes and…

Probably the most widely-used oil in cooking, olive oil is pressed from fresh olives. It's…
- 8 plump sausages (choose Dad's favourite)

Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. Apple orchards were…
- a few rosemary sprigs
Rosemary's intense, fragrant aroma has traditionally been paired with lamb, chicken and game…
Preheat your oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size and put them into a large roasting tin. Drizzle with the olive oil and roast for 10 minutes.
Take the tin out of the oven and snuggle the sausages in between the potatoes so they sit on the bottom of the tin. Now roast for another 15 minutes, turning the sausages over at half time so they brown all over.
While you're waiting for the sausages to cook, gently heat the marmalade, mustard and cider in a small pan, stirring all the time until the marmalade has melted. Increase the heat and boil for a few minutes until reduced by about half.
Pour the sauce over the sausages and potatoes and toss gently together. Scatter the rosemary sprigs on top, return to the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes until golden brown and sticky with the glaze. Sprinkle with salt and coarsely ground black pepper before serving.

Deputies investigating home invasion
No arrests made
The Sebastian County Sheriff's Office is investigating a home invasion in the 6900 block of Highway 252 west.
The victim told investigators that she was doing some chores outside her home Tuesday morning when she noticed a man standing in her driveway. The woman said she made contact with the man and asked if he needed help. She told deputies the man said he thought someone else lived there and left.
"She goes in her house, goes about her business and about 15 minutes later, she hears her dogs barking in the back part of their home and when she goes back there that's when the door bust open," said Philip Pevehouse, an investigator with the Sebastian County Sheriff's Department.
The victim said she went about her business and a short time later said she was in her home when her dogs started barking in the back of the home. She stated that she went to see why the dogs were barking and that's when she said the back door flew open and a man came in, grabbed her by the back of the hair and grabbed her shirt.
She was able to break free, grab her phone and lock herself in the bathroom.
The woman called 911 and when deputies got to her home, the man in question was no longer in the home.
"Every available unit responded that could," said Pevehouse.
The suspect was described by the victim to be around 6 feet tall, in his late 30s, wearing a denim style blue shirt or jacket. The woman said he was unshaven, had brown eyes and dirty black hair that came over his ears. She also said he had heavy body odor.
"There are a few leads from the canvassing, as far as things that have been seen by neighbors and we're trying to follow those up," said Pevehouse.
If you have any information that can help deputies you are asked to call 479-783-1051.

Thanks to the open skies policies adopted by African countries after the Yamoussoukro Decision of November, 1999, Ghanaians can now fly from Accra to Kumasi for a one-way fare of about $25 (GHC50). There are also cheap flights to and from other cities in the West African sub-region for relatively low fares.
As the saying goes, however, whatever comes cheap may prove dear in the end. It is expensive to run an airline. There are government permits to pay for, in addition to airport taxes, landing fees, fuel costs – which are more expensive in Africa than in Europe - maintenance costs, wages and salaries for the crew and staff, training costs and aircraft lease payments. And these costs must be met with room for a decent profit margin for the airline - all from the discounted fares.
The inevitable result of doing much with little will be aviation accidents resulting in multiple losses of lives. Low cost passenger and cargo airlines will be forced to buy or lease old airplanes in order to reduce lease payments and acquisition costs. The victims of the Allied Air plane crash in Ghana on June 2, 2012, whose families I am representing, were killed by an old Boeing 727 which was withdrawn from use and mothballed in December 1991 after flying for the old Pan-Am Airways for 22 years. That plane was sold to various entities until it was finally acquired by Allied Air Cargo and registered in Nigeria for cargo service.
After the Allied Air plane crash in Ghana on June 2, 2012, the very next day, there was Dana Air Crash in Lagos Nigeria taking 153 lives on the flight and 10 lives on the ground. Preliminary investigations showed that the plane had dual engine failure without any external factor such as a bird strike. There was also a finding that there was no fuel contamination. About 17 minutes into the flight, the Captain and First Officer observed a discrepancy between the engine throttle setting and the engine power indicator but continued the flight without signaling any trouble. The result was the subsequent crash in Lagos. Whether the crash was due to pilot error or maintenance issues will eventually be determined.
At the dawn of commercial aviation, flying was considered an ultra hazardous activity and was regulated as such. Today, thanks to improvements in aircraft design and maintenance, flying is considered mostly safe. Accidents however, continue to happen due to the three "poors" – poor cockpit management, poor airline company safety culture and poor training and cockpit crew skill upgrade.
Ghana must be commended for adhering to her open skies commitments. Open skies agreements allow airlines to become more efficient by providing more affordable, effective and convenient services to their passengers. Countries do this by eliminating or reducing government restrictions on commercial decisions by airlines regarding routes, capacity and pricing.
The government of Ghana through the Ministry of Transport and the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority has a responsibility to ensure that air travel is safe for Ghanaians. Airlines must be made to carry adequate liability and third party insurance to cover personal injuries and death to passengers and non-flying third parties. Maintenance logs must be scrupulously and frequently checked to ensure that airlines meet acceptable standards. Landing rights and permits must be denied to airlines with serious and repeated safety violations. Government must also ensure that airlines comply with international training standards for the cockpit crew and flight staff; and with limitations on continuous flight time to reduce incidences of pilot error due to fatigue.
Day in and day out, Ghanaians are met with the inability of their government to control carnage on our roads by preventable motor vehicle accidents. We hope that the Ministry of Transportation and the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority will do a better job of policing our skies.

NEW YORK — What with "Ghost,""Lysistrata Jones" and other wearying disappointments, the 2012-13 Broadway season hardly will go down as a banner year for new American musicals. Indeed, should the best-musical Tony Award go, at Sunday night's ceremony, to a show other than "Once" or "Newsies" — the only remotely viable candidates for this most important of theatrical honors — the theater chatterati will be speechless and Tweetless. For a couple of seconds.
"Leap of Faith," a missed opportunity for a more substantial look at the role of faith in Red State America, and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," a genial but wholly artificial construct that feels more like a desire to exploit a great song catalog than a show with a coherent artistic purpose, have about as much chance of winning a Tony on Sunday as the NBC comedy "Smash" has of achieving belated verisimilitude. But all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about the state of the musical — a form, it should be noted, that has survived far leaner years than this one — should not detract from the formidable and underappreciated achievement of "Once," a musical that displays significantly more originality and breathtaking artistry than last year's winner, "The Book of Mormon," a hit so potent and popular it also will be featured on this year's Tony Awards.
Sure, "Once" is based on existing material — in this case, John Carney's 2006 independent movie about a love-lorn busker and an already-married Czech immigrant who totter precariously on the edge of Eros in Dublin. But I'd argue that, formatively speaking, this is one of the best screen-to-stage adaptations that Broadway has ever seen, not the least because the bookwriter, Enda Walsh, the director, John Tiffany, and the choreographer, Steven Hoggett, are all worthy Tony winners who understand the crucial difference between film and theater.
For those of us who have sat open-mouthed on Broadway as huge scenic pieces flew or rolled through a progression of tedious and superfluous short scenes in past movies-turned-musicals such as "Nine to Five" or "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown," "Once" stands out as a model of its form. It takes a multi-locale, cinematic story and distills it to its theatrical essence, avoiding artifice and understanding that crucial person-to-person communication on stage can only be foregrounded when there is a minimum of clutter.
"Once" is far better as a musical than as a movie (and it was a good movie) because it deepens the metaphoric weight and universality of the characters.
As beautifully performed by Cristin Milioti, who truly floats through the theater, the unnamed character of Girl feels like a guardian angel whom we'd all like to have setting us back on our feet. How come such a selfless, empowering person doesn't show up to take care of all we lost souls? We can, at least, go to the theater to see her.
"Newsies," a rollicking melodrama of striking paperboys, can't compete on an emotional or structural level and shouldn't win. Still, it offers a few of its own lessons for next season's musical wannabes, not the least of which is the palpable, hurricane-strength force of offering up a fleet of lovable protagonists (making characters lovable on Broadway is harder than almost anyone thinks). But the appeal of "Newsies" is as simple as that. These singing, dancing dudes — Crutchy, Specs and all the flat-capped pals — are eminently, endlessly likable. Almost likable enough to win a Tony on the sheer force thereof. But not quite.
This past season of Broadway plays was far healthier. Some theater-goers have construed that as a cheering aesthetic development, for which there is an argument to be made. But I think it's mostly a matter of economics. These days, there is not money to be made off-Broadway and there are plenty of actors with familiar names ready and willing to burnish their high-end reputations by making themselves available for a limited run of something substantial. And there are several busy producers with very good taste.
As a result, there were plenty of decent plays on Broadway this year, including "Other Desert Cities," "Peter and the Starcatcher," "Venus in Fur" and even the worthy "Chinglish," which was not nominated for a Tony due, to my mind, to producing mistakes made between Chicago and New York. Still, the best of them all is Bruce Norris' "Clybourne Park." Norris, a familiar name to Chicago theatergoers who came late to the expression of personal vulnerability, finally managed to puts his heart into a play without softening his long-honed satirical bite. And in this most clever of conceptions, he also figured out that the best way to explore the abiding racial divides in America is by looking at the separation of neighborhoods, past and present. Race has long been aligned with real estate; houses offer a way to hide distrust and discomfort for generations. That's the Tony right there.
With the beautifully sung "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" less than a complete dramatic success — Porgy was, to put it bluntly, too much of an obvious choice in that he did not demand enough of Bess — the Broadway revival of "Follies," a sepia-toned and intensely beautiful production, looks set to dominate the slate of musical revivals, which is as it should be. (However, it's worth noting that Gary Griffin's almost simultaneous revival for Chicago Shakespeare Theater was the stronger production when it came to the raw human vulnerability this exquisite piece demands). One could see the Broadway "Follies" as a consummate, uppercase Revival, an evocation of all that very word evokes. Clearly, there is an affinity between the title and the category, an affinity that Tony voters won't be able to resist.
Given the distinguished career of Mike Nichols and his lead actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman, the revival of "Death of a Salesman" will probably prove similarly successful, even though this production offered up an overly neurotic and youthful Willy Loman who thus lacked the force of representative magnitude that Arthur Miller intended, just as Andrew Garfield's Biff lacked the scars of a young man who'd already been in jail.
I'd give the best featured-actor award to Christian Borle, the "Smash" star who turned "Peter and the Starcatcher" into a compelling piece of storytelling and who has had, whatever happens Sunday night, an incredible year.
The American Theatre Wing's 66th Annual Tony Awards will be broadcast live on CBS from the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Sunday at 7 p.m. CST

An ecosystem is a system which is formed when a community of organisms interacts with the environment.
An ecosystem is basically an organism community which interacts with one another and their environment in such a way that energy is transferred between them and system-level processes like the cycle of elements emerge.
The ecosystem is the core concept in Ecology and Biology, and serves as the building block of biological organization where organisms interact with each other simultaneously and with the environment as well. Therefore, ecosystems are a step after the ecological community level ( in which organisms of different species interact with one another) and are at a stage below or equal to the biosphere and biomes. Essentially, they are regional ecosystems, while the biosphere is larger than all the possible ecosystems.
Ecosystems include the living organisms alonside the dead organic matter which they produce, the abiotic environment which these organisms inhabit and exchange elements, for example, soils, water, the atmosphere, etc, and the interactions with the components. Ecosystems follow the concept that the living organisms must continually interact with one another and with their environment to create complex systems with different emergent properties, like that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" or "everything is connected".
