It's nice but hot right now; clowns are bursting into flames in the streets at the moment and squirrels are standing in line at the ice cream trucks, though we just went through a good spell of rain over the last couple of weeks.
I'm in the Houston area; there are plenty of paranormal happenings to go around down here.

I like when clowns melt, but not the ice cream. Oh and Clown meat is not Kosher, taste like pig .....

DALLAS, Texas (WSET) -- A 25-year-old has been arrested for living a double life as a teenager for nine months.
Dallas Police said Sidney Bouvier Gilstrap-Portley claimed to be a Hurricane Harvey refugee when he enrolled as a freshman under the name Rashun Richardson at Skyline High School in Dallas, so he could play high school basketball again.
Police said federal law exempts people who claim to be homeless or an evacuee due to a natural disaster from requiring documents they might not have.
He later transferred to Hillcrest High School where he joined the basketball team, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Gilstrap-Portley was named the district's offensive player of the year.
Police said he immersed himself in high school and even dated a 14-year-old classmate.
Officials said his true identity was revealed when one of his former coaches from North Mesquite High School recognized him during a tournament in April.
Coaches at Hillcrest were then tipped off to what was going on.
KXAS reports that school officials notified parents of the incident in a letter on Monday, vowing to review the district's policies.
Gilstrap-Portley was arrested Friday on a charge of tampering with government records and taken into custody at the Dallas County Jail.
Online court records show he was released after posting bail.

CHICKEN WIRE AND TIFFANY. This Saturday, seven windows of Louis Comfort Tiffany are open at Grace-St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and his brilliant lamps shine through Jan. 13 at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.
What you see is up to you.
You might see rare and wonderful art, or learn a thing or two about creative genius, or, who knows, you might see the face of God. But, hey, you should take a look.
In the Middle Ages, churches were centers of learning – at least for clergy – religion was the basis of art, and Gothic cathedrals were the ultimate extension of both. With few exceptions outside the clergy, congregations were wholly illiterate and a very real purpose of the windows and art of the church was to paint the word in elaborate, ecclesiastical picture books. The church hoped that the majesty of such lessons could raise their flock above a drab existence and offer the promise of something better, something eternal.
One man's vision, more than any other, brought that tradition back to life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and you can see it here in Memphis.
It is not necessary to believe in God in order to be elevated by art, but it doesn't hurt. It's not necessary to worship any deity to see evidence of a divine spark, but it might just bring you around.
When Grace Church joined with St. Luke's in 1940, they brought a glorious legacy with them – seven original windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The result is the one of the country's largest collections of Tiffany windows, one of the most outstanding in a parish church anywhere.
And they almost disappeared.
The arbiter of taste in America for a half-century, muse of decorative arts for the world, glass magician and wizard of light for the ages, Louis Comfort Tiffany would end it all in bankruptcy, his spirit broken like a piece of his signature Favrile glass thrown to the floor, his popularity fading like the day's last ray through one of his incomparable windows.
So out of favor, so yesterday, his creations at Grace-St. Luke's were allowed to warp and waste away, some half covered by roof tar, the largest of all in a frame so neglected, the leading so weakened, that the 400 square feet of main window and surround windows could be moved by the touch of a child's hand – a push away from crashing into Peabody below.
One of the windows graced the east wall of the church's parish hall and part-time gym – fronted by a basketball goal – protected only by chicken wire.
So fragile had the strands of Tiffany's legacy become, now strengthened, restored and returned to prominence.
Saturday, Nov, 17, at 3, courtesy of the Decorative Arts Trust at Brooks, Lindsy Parrot, director and curator of The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in New York, will give a lecture on Tiffany at Grace-St. Luke's, Peabody at Belvedere, and the public is invited.
I'm a Memphian, and these windows are something to see.
Dan Conaway is a lifelong Memphian, longtime adman and aspiring local character in a city known for them. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Flashback: The Continental Tie
In America in the late 1950s the traditional boxy and bulky cuts of English suits gave way to the slimmer and more youthful Italian cut which became known as the Continental Look. To complement this new streamlined style of tuxedo, formalwear manufacturers introduced the continental tie, a wide strip of black silk or satin that crossed over at the throat where it was held together by a snap or decorative pin.
These ties are actually still available from some western-themed retailers today. I wouldn't wear one to a black-tie gala but I think it would look sharp on a young groom or prom date with a Mad Man-esque skinny suit.
Ironically, the '60s retro slogan "Damn right your dad wore it" I referenced in my Mad Men post is bang on in this case. This is my dad (and mom) in 1960:

Bellator lightweight semifinalist Alexander Sarnavskiy is out of the tournament with a fractured hand, according to Bellator MMA CEO Bjorn Rebney.
Jason Fischer steps in to take his place in the semifinal bout against David Rickels. The other semifinal bout pits Will Brooks vs. Saad Awad. The tournament winner will move on to a title shot.
The lightweight belt is currently wrapped around the waist of Michael Chandler, who made the first defense of his belt at the recent Bellator 85 in California.
The lightweight semifinals take place on Feb. 28 at Bellator 91 in New Mexico. Bellator light heavyweight champion Christian M'Pumbu headlines the event, putting his belt on the line against Attila Vegh.
This was Sarnavskiy's second attempt at the lightweight tournament. He lost a split decision to UFC veteran Rich Clementi in the Season 7 quarterfinals.
Sarnavskiy submitted Thiago Michel at Bellator 87 just two weeks ago to earn his spot in the semifinal round. The tournament format, however, is unforgiving.

LOZOL FOR SALE, The rest of my interview with new Western Illinois University football coach Bob Nielson.
As you look back at the interview process, what brought you here. Was there one factor?
There were two things. I was looking to find an opportunity where you have two things — number one, where football is truly important to the university and to the community, LOZOL without prescription. And through the opportunity I had to be here and talk with people, from the president of the university to Tim Van Alstine, to all of the people in the community I met, that was certainly a very common theme, LOZOL results, that a successful football program is important to this community, to this region, and obviously the university. That was factor one, LOZOL FOR SALE.
I think the other thing that was important was to have a level of commitment that the university was going to place. Because we do have some things we need to move forward with, the facility upgrades and commitment to be able to build the kind of staff that I was thought necessary to compete, where can i buy LOZOL online. Those were things that the university was committed to. Put those things together ... LOZOL FOR SALE, as I told people, I was at a time in my life where I was looking for another challenge out there, career-wise. And it all came together.
Was it a hard decision?
Yeah, Buy LOZOL online cod, it was very hard. Very hard decision. I had a very good job. When you've been at a place for 13 years, you put down some pretty deep roots, LOZOL FOR SALE. And it's not as easy to pull them up as a result. But there were some things, timing-wise, LOZOL wiki, that made it easier. With my children being seniors in high school, they're going to be gone next year as well, and you didn't have to worry about that side of it. LOZOL used for, So, yeah, the answer is yes. LOZOL FOR SALE, It wasn't a snap decision, even though it happened relatively quickly, it was one that took some serious consideration. Thirteen years in this business is a long time to be anywhere.
Do you feel settled in?
Oh, no (laughing), LOZOL brand name. That's going to take a while. I probably won't feel truly settled until my family gets moved down here. Between recruiting and travelling .., LOZOL FOR SALE. but I've met a lot of great people who are obviously excited about the ability to take the direction of our program here. It's getting to feel more like home every day. LOZOL pictures, Until I actually have a permanent place to live, it won't really feel like home.
Where are you living at right now?
Apartment on campus. LOZOL FOR SALE, I'm right here.
What are you hearing from fans. What are people saying to you?
That people are excited. I think people are optimistic with regard to the change, LOZOL price, coupon, and again, this is not designed to be anything negative to the other staff, but people are excited, want the program to be successful, Buy LOZOL no prescription, and are very hopeful that the new leadership can provide a change in course and move forward. Talked to a few alums, and the feeling I get from them is the same. So we certainly have to capitalize on that optimism and that positiveness, and continue to work hard, LOZOL FOR SALE.
Do you think there has to be a culture change?
I don't think it's a culture change. I know there are a couple of things that obviously are critical in college football, for success in college football — one of them is to establish some continuity, LOZOL overnight, and I know in trying to put a staff together that I tried to do was build a staff that provide continuity for the program that will reach into the future. And so that, establishing a recruiting base and a consistent presence of the same people being out there representing the university is really critical. That was really important to me, LOZOL dosage, and for the future.
Do you want a national recruiting reach at this point? LOZOL FOR SALE, I think we'll always recruit, to some extent, nationally. I think you have to as a Division I program. But we do want to establish what I call a strong regional basis in our recruiting. You get young men who are proud to represent Western Illinois, and build a base of recruiting in that regard. So what does that mean regionally, LOZOL alternatives. We're in a great location, LOZOL FOR SALE. If you take the corridor from Chicago to St. Louis, the 3 1/2-4 hour radius around the area, you include a geographical area that has a lot of strong high school football programs, LOZOL coupon, like southeast Iowa, or east-central Iowa. The Chicagoland area, the St. Louis area, the Springfields, buy generic LOZOL, the Peorias. LOZOL FOR SALE, That, to me, is where we have to have a strong base in every recruiting class.
I think there are some areas that are under-recruited in our region. Not that we shy away from any of them. It's my hope, Buy LOZOL online no prescription, even in this class, that we have a stronger regional representation. At the same time, we'll try to build on some of the contacts we have in our outlying areas, and make sure we can find the players that can make us successful in this league.
Was it hard recruiting when you were at Minnesota-Duluth?
Duluth had its own geographical challenges, LOZOL FOR SALE. We were more of what I would call a regional institution, LOZOL natural, where our student-athletes were coming from Minnesota and Wisconsin. As we got more successful, recruiting would become easier, because we could get on the lists of more student-athletes just because you were at the top, LOZOL trusted pharmacy reviews, in that case, of Division II programs in the country.
You won two national titles at Minnesota-Duluth. How hard is it to win a national title?
It takes the right group of young men, and I don't just say that from a talent standpoint. LOZOL FOR SALE, They have to have the right attitude, the right personality, be unselfish, all committed to the same goal. I'll be honest, LOZOL without a prescription, it takes a little luck in that you need to stay healthy, at all levels. You need to stay healthy at the right positions, and in those years, Doses LOZOL work, one more than the other, we did that.
I really think there's a lot of good, really good, football teams. A lot of times it's the subtle intangibles to make a big difference, LOZOL duration. It takes great leadership on your team, LOZOL FOR SALE. I look at those teams, and the other good teams we had there that made runs into the playoffs, it's been the leadership and the ownership that teams have taken in critical situations. Part of being what a coach about is you're developing talent, Comprar en línea LOZOL, comprar LOZOL baratos, but you're also developing that kind of leadership and mentality.
Was it harder to win the first title, or the second title?
I think it was the second one, in a lot of ways. That year was unique in that we lost our best player for the rest of the season in 2010. LOZOL FOR SALE, But what had happened is, by winning in 2008, our guys believed they could (win again). And in some ways, effects of LOZOL, that's the biggest hurdle. You have to get guys who believe that they can. And that belief took over and maybe we won a couple of games that we shouldn't have won, in that run. LOZOL reviews, Was there a point, during those seasons, when you knew you had a championship team?
I'm not sure that there was one certain time. The big thing that we focused on, and that we'll focus on here, is, that as a football team, we have to get better every day, we have to get better every week, LOZOL FOR SALE. I will say this, both of those teams bought into that mentality, in that we were truly playing our best football at the end of the year, LOZOL street price. I think it takes that, I think it takes that to go on a playoff run at this level.
What's it like, as a coach, Order LOZOL online c.o.d, to win a title?
It's rewarding. It's funny, I probably don't reminisce about it as much as you think. LOZOL FOR SALE, I have a hard time wearing my national championship rings because, number one, my hands are too small and they don't fit well. It's a great thing, and I feel great for the guys that had that opportunity. But it's always about moving forward as a coach, LOZOL photos. If you think too long about it, somebody's passing you by. I look back on it with great fondness, and the memories are outstanding. You try to use it as a springboard to keep moving forward, LOZOL FOR SALE. About LOZOL, Nick Saban talked, after Alabama won the national title this year, that it's all about the "process." Is that something you've felt during your career?
I think so. I agree with what he said there. It's more about the process than it is about the game. I've had the good fortune to be with a lot of teams that are in the playoffs, order LOZOL no prescription. LOZOL FOR SALE, Some of the games we've lost I probably remember more than the ones we won. But it's about the development process, getting to that point, that as a coach is most rewarding.
What do you want to do with the schedule in the future?
Well, LOZOL use, a lot of it is already done. The way that FCS has developed, playing the guarantee games has been part of the process. I have no problem with that. I want young men to come into the program to want to play at the highest level, LOZOL FOR SALE. So like, this year, playing a Minnesota and a UNLV in a unique year that allows you to play two of those games, it's a great challenge. At the same time, it will be a great gauge of where we're at, and where we need to get to. And when you look at the future games on the schedule, at Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Illinois, they're all going to be great opponents. You add to that our league, which is truly, truly outstanding from top to bottom, there isn't going to be an easy win on the schedule.
How tough is the Missouri Valley Football Conference? LOZOL FOR SALE, It's a league that ... we've got a lot of teams in this league that can win a lot of games, and have demonstrated that. I've been in different divisions, in different leagues. We used to say that about the state league in Wisconsin, that was the best league in Division III football. And our league where I was at in Duluth had become very good at the top end nationally. I looked at this opportunity, and one of the things that was intriguing about it was this was the best league in the country.
You've got be prepared to grind. You have to play your best football every week, because not only will you get beat, but you'll get beat badly.

Senate Introduces Bill to Boost Participation in Clinical Trials for Rare
Bill would remove financial penalties for participating in research studies
BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Four members of the United
States Senate introduced legislation today to allow patients with rare
diseases to participate in clinical drug studies without losing their
eligibility for public healthcare coverage, echoing a move by the House of
Representatives last month.
The "Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act" is co-sponsored by Senators Ron
Wyden (D-OR), Chris Dodd (D-CT), James Inhofe (R-OK) and Richard Shelby
Researchers who develop drugs to treat rare diseases such as cystic fibrosis
often struggle to recruit participants for clinical trials because of limited
patient populations. To compound the problem, current law prevents many people
who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) from accepting research
compensation because it would make them ineligible to continue receiving
government medical benefits. This financial penalty prevents significant
numbers of people with rare diseases from participating in clinical studies.
"For many suffering from rare diseases, access to clinical trials is their
best hope for treatment," said Senator Wyden. "This legislation will make sure
the small financial incentives these people receive will not be counted
against them if they are on SSI or Medicaid. Patients suffering from rare
diseases should not have to choose between their best hope for treatment or
losing benefits, nor be denied the access more financially fortunate patients
"For those living with a rare disease, clinical drug studies can offer a ray
of hope: access to cutting-edge medical technologies that may help treat or
even cure a serious illness," Senator Dodd said. "Currently, individuals who
receive public assistance often do not participate in compensated clinical
trials for fear of losing their Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income. This
legislation will remedy this inequity by ensuring that more Americans,
including those who receive public assistance, have access to these
potentially life-saving clinical drug studies."
"This bill allows patients with a rare disease to disregard up to $2,000 of
compensation received for participation in a clinical trial in their SSI and
Medicaid income calculations," said Senator Inhofe. "Though it will have a
negligible impact on the federal budget, it will make a dramatic difference in
the lives of those who will gain access to potentially life-saving treatments
by enrolling in clinical trials as well as all those in the future whose lives
will be improved by the medical advances that arise from this research.
"Scientists and researchers across our nation continually produce new
therapies that have the potential to save the lives of countless Americans who
suffer from life-threatening rare illnesses," said Senator Shelby. "These
patients should not be forced to choose between the health benefits they
desperately need and the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial that
could improve their medical condition. I am confident that this legislation
will open a pathway for more patients to receive life-saving treatments."
Fifty years ago, there were no drugs for people with CF and those with the
disease rarely lived to attend elementary school. Today, because of the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation's focus on innovative and aggressive research, there are
more than 30 potential therapies in development, and the median life
expectancy is higher than 37 years.

This picture was taken before she was married to my father. I think, looking back now at what I know about her, she would have been considered a feminist for her time. Yes, they did have to wait to get married because of my father's responsibilities, but I gather there was also some opposition to my father from my grandmother Smedmore and my two aunts, Sylvia and Elma. Which brings up another interesting fact about the Smedmore family. Not too many of them got married, and most of those who did married later in life. (Except for my uncle, Lucius, who defied the family and got married at the tender age of twenty-five.) When I asked my mother why three of my uncles and my two aunts never married her response was that the men had never found a woman as good as their mother and the women had never found a man to equal Papa.
This opposition, however, did not deter my mother and my parents were finally married on April 27, 1926, at Kingston Parish Church, and as the reception appears to have been held at 49 Beeston Street one must assume that the family came round in the end. In fact, Julian, my mother's youngest brother, was best man.
Things must have been difficult for my parents at the beginning of their marriage. They could not at first afford their own home and lived at 49 Beeston Street for some time. My brother, Michael Owen Dey Levy, known to all as Micky, was probably born there on April 2, 1927. I don't know how long they lived there. One of my Da Costa cousins remembers visiting my Grandma Levy at her house at 22 Beeston Street and recalls that my Dad came over to visit with his friend, Joe Kelly, and a little boy, which was most likely my brother. Here is a photo taken at 49 Beeston Street of Micky with our cousin, Marjorie, eldest daughter of Lucius, and our aunt Elma in the background.Micky was probably about four or five when my parents moved to a house on Anderson Road which I think they probably rented. I wish now I'd asked what the exact address was. In fact, there are a lot of questions I wish that I had asked my mother ... this is the main regret of most genealogists who come to family history later in life and realize that they've missed the opportunity to talk to the family elders and get all the facts and stories...now lost in the mists of time.

Imagine a guy with glasses who used to model baseball stats and play online poker nailing the outcome of the 2012 elections. And when I say "nailing", I mean that he correctly predicted the U.S. Presidential contest in every one of the 50 states (and nearly every U.S. Senate race, too). He even performed better than some of the most widely-used polling firms. Now imagine that he gives his thoughts on making these types of predictions. That's exactly what Nate Silver does in his new book The Signal and the Noise" target="_blank">The Signal and the Noise.
I've worked in what's now being called "data science" for nearly twenty years. The title of Silver's book – The Signal and the Noise – presents an important and sometimes overlooked part of this science. The "signal" is what we're looking for in the data, and the "noise" is all the stuff in the data that gets in the way of what we're looking for.

"A hearing is set for April of 2014 to hear final arguments on the amount of compensation that is due to all homeowners and residents as part of a class-action suit," said Peter Zamoyski of the law firm of Tatro & Zamoyski, which is representing the De Anza Cove Homeowners Association.
The city started the process of trying to remove residents from the 75-acre park on prime real estate jutting into the water in Mission Bay Park west of Interstate 5 in 2003.
After years of litigation, the city reached a $3.6 million settlement agreement on one of three lawsuits involving current and former residents of the 500-unit De Anza Cove Resort mobile home park.
The settled dispute stems from the treatment residents said they received by Hawkeye Asset Management of Laguna Beach — a company retained by the city to run the day-to-day operations of the park after the prime bayfront real estate was taken over by the city in November 2003.
De Anza residents claim strong-arm tactics were used by the city to coerce residents to leave, including installation of a guard house at the entrance, multitudinous speed bumps, high-intensity Klieg lights and barbed-wire fencing throughout the property.
"Common areas were destroyed, the clubhouse, car wash and laundry facilities were taken out, trees were clear-cut, a water feature and bougainvillea were removed — the entire place was denuded," claimed Zamoyski, who noted mobile home parks can be sold by their owners but state law requires them to "provide a tenant impact report," as well as "legally mandated compensation for loss of their homes and other relocation benefits."
Zamoyski said the amount of the collective compensation to be determined this spring could be "anywhere from $20 million to $60 million."
The fact that mobile home park residents will be required to leave is not at issue, said Zamoyski.
"That's never been in dispute from the day we filed the lawsuit," he said. "We've always said the city is welcome to do with it whatever it wishes; use the land for a public park or sell it to development interests to build a hotel or recreational facilities. The city can do with the property whatever it feels is in the best interest for its taxpayers and citizens. They just have to follow the law."
Ernie Abbit, president of De Anza Cove Homeowners Association the past 13 years, said about 300 of the 500 units in the mobile home park are still occupied. He said residents are a little jittery about the judge's upcoming decision.
"They're concerned as to how this is all going to end up, how much they're going to be awarded by the judge," Abbit said. "We have to move. We're not looking forward to it. We have to know how we're going to be able to continue our lives, especially people who have invested their life savings in this place."
Abbit said there's some residual ill will among residents about how the park has been denuded, particularly regarding the trees.
"They tore out everything," he said. "They made it like a bomb hit it, made it terrible for the people here. They cut down 200 trees unnecessarily. They gave the excuse that tree roots were affecting the infrastructure, killing the pipes and wires. So they cut down the trees but left the stumps, which are still growing roots."
Abbit said the city "continues to fight this battle," noting he felt officials were little concerned about "lower-income people."
"Their (city's) only concern was how we can make an extra buck," Abbit said.
After repeated attempts, the city could not be reached for comment on the status of the DeAnza lawsuit by press time.
Previously, San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said, "This insurance-funded settlement makes sense for all the parties as a compromise. The De Anza litigation has been ongoing for too long and needs to be brought to a conclusion."

Earlier this month, we spotted Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer at a dinner party with Apple's designer/living-god Jonny Ive.
Next, Mayer needs to meet with the big boss at Apple, Tim Cook.
They need to talk about a deep, expansive partnership between their two companies.
At least, that's the theory from John Gruber, who is one of the best-sourced Apple bloggers on the planet.
(When Apple comes out with new products, executives make one-on-one appointments with him to show them off.)
Anywho, Gruber casually tossed this theory out on his blog the other day, without much explanation.
We emailed him for more, and he generously obliged.
Here is what he said:
I don't have a complex argument to make. To me it's all on the surface: Apple has a thriving mobile platform, but very little online data of its own. Yahoo has a ton of online data -- news, weather, stocks, sports -- but doesn't own its own mobile platform, and, as mobile evolves, the web is not enough. You need integration with native apps. Apple has been using Yahoo as the backend for iOS Weather and Stocks from the get-go. And Siri's sports data comes from Yahoo. I think this could be pushed further, to the mutual benefit of both companies.

Kirra Hamman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 76 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
Naturally Bronzed
My name is Kirra Hamman and I am a new entrepreneur... I have started a new Mobile Airbrush Tanning business in Texas!!
I also work full time at the Capital Area Food Bank. I have started my new business on the side because I am passionate about offering an all natural, organic, safe alternative to UV tanning mainly because I am in my late twenties and have had 6 pre-melanoma cancer spots removed.
My target audience is anyone and everyone who wants the convenience of someone coming to them, in there home.
There is already a market for this business, but most of my competition have approached it from a very young, sweet, girly perpective. I want to be seen as a luxiourious and exclusive service.
I am looking for a design that has a classy, luxurious feel but still maintains a natural component.
I want something that looks expensive and has an exclusive feel about it. South Beach meets Beverly Hills...
I don't want green leaves. I have found a few templates on 99design that I like but aren't totally what I am looking for.
I like the Papyrus font as well...
I would like options that would be easy to show horizontally and vertically.
I like gold, bronze, brown, and burgandy, lush colors but bold too. I want something that can be inverted (reverse color). I will need both vector and web graphics.
The following are two designs that stood out to me...
http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/9436 *** I like this design but I would like it better with warmer browns.
http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/4058 I LOVE the colors of this one, the fading of the colors etc...
I have four other attachments... I like the logo like colors, the rich browns... I also like the bronze color of logo like 2 and the font/letters in logo like 2 and 3. I like the font in 4 that could be paired with a script font for the word naturally...
I want attention to be drawn in an elegant way and to look at my Naturally bronzed logo and say, "WOW"!

Multiple fires damage homes in Douglass
Douglass has seen three house fires in the last nine days, with the latest two occurring Saturday and Monday.
Butler County Fire District #8 (Douglass) received the fire call at about 8:24 p.m. Saturday. The caller stated there was smoke in the area of Pine and Chestnut.
"I responded to that area and a truck was following behind me," said BCFD #8 Chief John Ford.
While they were in route, the caller said there was smoke in their house, but the fire was not in their house. They found a modular home set on a basement to the north of the reporting party on fire.
Ford said no one was at home at the time.
"Smoke was coming out of it very heavily, but no fire was showing," Ford said.
He said when the crew entered the home, the fire got enough oxygen it increased in size and within three minutes the roof starting collapsing and they had to pull the crew out of the home.
The contents and structure were heavily damaged. The occupants had left about 30 minutes before the fire started. A single father and his three children reside in the home.
"At this point all we know is the fire potentially started in a bathroom," Ford said. "The cause is still under investigation."
Then on Monday morning, the fire crew responded to a fire near the intersection of 200th and Shumway, near Douglass.
Deputy Chief Seth Glaves said they received the call at about 9:15 a.m.
Initial crews arriving on the scene saw smoke coming from a single family dwelling.
One person was home at the time of incident and did not sustain any injuries.
"Crews were able to get a quick knockdown on the fire and also removed two pets from the residence," Glaves said, adding that the pets were OK.
The home sustained moderate smoke and heat damage throughout the residence. The cause is currently under investigation.
Mutual aid was provided by Butler County Fire District #3, Augusta Department of Public Safety and Butler County EMS during the Saturday fire. On Monday, mutual aid was received from Augusta and the Rose Hill Fire Department.

Governments must restore confidence in the negotiation process of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by increasing climate funding and ensuring natural solutions are part of the post-2012 regime, says IUCN.
"Only an equitable, comprehensive and legally binding agreement will bring the much needed international commitment to manage the climate crisis," says IUCN's Director of Environment and Development Stewart Maginnis. "What governments should focus on in Cancun is ensuring that confidence in the UNFCCC process is rebuilt, which will bring us a step closer to that final deal."
Adaptation, finance and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) are some of the key issues on the table of the 194-nation talks. An Adaptation Framework will move negotiations forward, according to IUCN. "Vulnerable developing countries in particular are already struggling to cope with the impacts of climate change," says Ninni Ikkala, IUCN's Climate Change Coordinator. "A global Adaptation Framework is needed to provide international support for urgently needed adaptation actions on the ground, including managing natural resources better and making sure that local communities benefit from them."
Fast track and long-term funding plans will bring back lost confidence in the process, says IUCN. New and additional financial means for adaptation to climate change impacts and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions must be made available. "We need to move away from the post-Copenhagen paralysis," says Claire Parker, Senior Climate Change Policy Advisor. "Developing countries need to see money that is additional to Official Development Assistance in order to be able to adapt now to the impacts they are already facing and to reduce their emissions."
Governments also need to close the deal on REDD plus and reach an agreement to make it a central part of the new climate deal. "Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time conserving forest natural resources on which millions of vulnerable people depend, is a win-win solution for people and nature," says Carole Saint-Laurent, IUCN's Senior Forest Policy Adviser. "It has been one of the most promising developments in the negotiations so far, and now it is time for a further push by governments to make REDD plus an integral part of the future climate deal."

Despite the fact that PA leaders continue to back Israel's destruction, and that Hamas' political leader, Khaled Meshaal, said at Tehran University, after their election victory, "Resistance will continue as long as the occupation and aggression continues. There is no recognition of Israel, no matter what the cost is," Carter told CNN's Situation Room that Hamas is a 'disciplined' group, and that Israel and the United States 'should be positive about the changes that will come.' (Expose the Left has the video here).
Captain's Quarters points out that advocating the U.S. and Israel re-institute funding of the PA government, as Carter is doing, is the same as asking Israel to fund their enemy... that wants to kill them. And might I add, asking America to fund the enemy that wants to kill their long-time friend.
Besides, does anyone really think our funding them will keep Hamas from working with others such as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who publicly called for Israel to be wiped off the map, and told Khaled Mashaal during his recent visit to the anti-Israel, anti-American country, not to worry about money, that "If you work for God, he will provide for you." In other words, stick with our plan against Israel and we'll fund you?
This isn't the first time that Carter has suggested such insanity in the name of diplomacy. Ankle Biting Pundits points out similar recommendations of his, such as:
- In 1991, he wrote a letter to the UN asking them to stop President Bush 41 from removing Saddam from Kuwait.He also warned Americans against an "irrational fear of communism."
- He stymied the attempt of President Clinton to stop North Korea from getting nuclear weapons, saying of Kim Jong Il: "I found him to be vigorous, intelligent, surprisingly well-informed about the technical issues and in charge of the decisions about this country."
- Vouched for Fidel Castro's statement that Cuba did not have the capability to produce biological weapons.
- Backed Hugo Chavez's claim that the Venezuelan elections were fair in the face of numerous reports to the contrary by respected election monitors and polling companies.
Though Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she will ask Arab allies in her upcoming trip to put pressure on the new Hamas-led government to 'abandon terrorism and accept Israel,' will they agree, and if they do, will they be successful?
Look, it's one thing to be willing to work with a repentant government, and an entirely different thing to treat one that is still bent on your destruction as if they were nice guys. Hamas has shown no such signs.
So, WHAT IS THE DEAL?! This blindness is the same kind that existed when Hitler was rising to power, and though he was defeated, Israel and the world has lived with the consequences of that blindness to this day. It's way past time for eyes to be opened.

(Reuters) - David Pocock faces an anxious wait for medical results on his injured left knee after the flanker hobbled off the field after only 14 minutes of the ACT Brumbies' Super Rugby match against the New South Wales Waratahs on Saturday.
FOX Sports reported that Pocock, who watched the remainder of the all Australian clash sat pitchside with ice packs strapped to his knee, had suffered a suspected anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Australia coach Robbie Deans was watching on from the stands and will be hopeful that the 24-year-old Pocock, arguably the best flanker in world rugby, has not suffered such a significant injury with three tests against the British and Irish Lions in June and July.
The skilful poacher was driven off a ruck by Wallabies team mate Adam Ashley Cooper and fell backwards on the ground where he laid as play continued before the Brumbies medical team helped him off the field.
He was replaced by former Wallabies skipper George Smith, who made his first appearance since returning from playing in Japan.
Pocock missed the majority of Australia's November tour to Europe after undergoing knee surgery to rectify an issue suffered in an August defeat by the All Blacks in Sydney.

Can you tell our readers and listeners about your personal history with HIV? How did you find out you were HIV positive?
I had spent 27 years in active addiction. At one time I had gotten really sick and I went to the hospital. While I was at the hospital, in the emergency room, they asked if I wanted to take an HIV test. I said, "Sure."
At that time, I had read about HIV, but the information was that it was a gay white man's disease so I didn't think it affected me. When I did get the test, it was like, "Okay. You have got to come back in two weeks."
Again, I was in active addiction, so I wasn't coming back in two weeks. So I didn't come back in two weeks. I took the test at Fulton County Health Department. I wound up in Fulton county jail, maybe a year, a year and a half, later. They called me out of my cell, and I came downstairs. I thought I was going home. There was a man in a white jacket.
He said, "Are you Mr. Burgess?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Well, I've got some news for you." I'm like, "Well, get to it. I want to go home." He said I was HIV positive.
At that time, I think I was at the best place I could have been, incarcerated, because I was in protective custody, protected from myself. So that's how I actually found out.
What were you addicted to?
I was addicted to heroin for 27 years.
Do you know how you got HIV? Was it through intravenous [IV] drug use?
I'm sure it was drugs because I had never been with a man. I grew up -- addiction is not a moral disease -- I grew up not being promiscuous. Just IV drug use. I know vividly how I probably contracted this virus. I came home one year, after moving to Atlanta, and a friend of mine took me into an abandoned building, and reached into the wall and sheetrock and pulled out a dirty needle. It was dirtier than the Hudson River, if I could say that. But my addiction said, use that needle anyway. Again, I didn't think about getting HIV. Back then, we just thought about hepatitis.
I think at that moment, I may have gotten HIV, if I could pinpoint. But I've shared needles for pretty much all my addiction.
How long do you think you had been living with HIV when you found out you were positive?
When I was diagnosed, my T cells were already 43. Going back with the relationship and the history with my doctor, we can say I was positive as early as 1990. Mind you, I didn't get the diagnosis until '95, '96. Looking at my T cells and where they were at, we're looking at as early as that, I could have been infected.
Do you also have hepatitis C?
Yes, I have hepatitis C, also. Again, that's a direct result of IV drug use. Right now, my doctor and I are looking at it. We are definitely a great team and we're monitoring. My liver enzymes are fine. I think two years ago we were going to do the biopsy. But because of my fears as a result of being a treatment educator, and reading that for 94 to 96 percent of African Americans, the hepatitis C treatment does not work for them, I wasn't ready to go through the pain, and go through the challenges of the depression and everything from the treatment. So right now we're just monitoring my liver and my liver enzymes, see where they are; and then we'll make that decision.
Did you find out that you had hepatitis C at the same time that you discovered you were HIV positive?
No. It probably was a couple of months after that. It's a really good relationship, how my doctor and I met. Actually, she chose me. But two months into our relationship, she said, "You have hepatitis C, also."
I had a lot of trauma done to me when I finally did come in. What I mean by "come in" is, I was almost murdered on the streets of Atlanta. I wound up in the emergency room, and they put me on a floor that's special for HIV-infected people.
You mentioned that your doctor chose you, instead of you choosing her. Can you tell us a little bit more about that?
Yes. Like I said, I was almost murdered. I was in the emergency room. They finally got me to a floor and assigned me to a doctor. This is so ironic. The doctor that was on call came in and I guess I was looking so bad, and everything like that. He said, "You know, Mr. Burgess, well, I have got some good news and some bad news. You made it through the night but you got four months to live. Go and enjoy yourself." At the time, he was playing God. I'm hesitating, because -- and I'll say this right now -- this particular doctor, maybe five years in, OD'd [overdosed] on drugs.
But at the same time, my primary care provider -- her name was Molly Eaton -- she was in the room at that time. Once she heard that information; when he walked out, she was like, "He shouldn't have said that to you." She said, "You know, we're all on call right now. But when you get out, please come see me, after the Olympics." Because the Olympics were going on. We have a one-stop shop in Atlanta called Grady IDP, Infectious Disease Program, and that's where her office was. She is an infectious disease doctor.
So I had a choice, while I was laying in the bed, waiting for George, Jr. and his mother. A social worker, Mary Lynn Hemphill, came into my room. I have a lot of respect for social workers. I love them.
What she did was, she sat on my bed and she touched my feet. When she touched my feet, I knew things were going to be alright. Because if you would have seen my feet back then ... She said she was going to get me into drug treatment and she got me into drug treatment.
I knew I was ready to quit using drugs, because I could have went and used, or I could have went into a drug treatment program. I went directly to the drug treatment program. A month after that, the Olympics had ended. I went to meet my primary care provider. I became her patient.
A week later, I started volunteering at AIDS Survival Project and I met Dan Dunable and Terri Wilder there. A week later, I went to my first support group (that's why I say, we need support), which is Common Ground. I speak with Common Ground, still. It is a daily support group, where people that are infected come on a daily basis and get some education, get a good meal. But the primary thing is the networking; people know that you're not alone.
All those ingredients were right there. My combination -- like I said, in 1996, it was the first cocktail, triple combination -- my combination was already there: the social worker, the doctor, the medication, the volunteerism, the support group. All of that started right there in September of '96. So from June 17, 1996 to September, all of those ingredients were coming together. I was ready.
This is the second time that you mentioned that you were almost killed. I have to ask: What happened?
I was an IV drug user. I made a stupid, conscious decision that I would not start smoking crack. So one of my friends started smoking crack. You know, a drug is a drug is a drug. But what's different is that with heroin, you can shoot up, and you'll be fine for six hours, or whatever. But crack is a repetitive thing; you have to do it over and over and over again, which takes up a lot of money. I was always a people pleaser, so one time I bought them some drugs, and I was walking away. Because I did what I had to do.
When I was walking away, I heard them call me and I turned around. When I turned around, they hit me in the face with a two-by-four.
Your friends?
Yes. Well, I know today they are not my friends. They were just using people; they were just associates. I thought they were my friends. They knocked all my teeth out. I had a compound fracture on my elbow, a punctured lung, one failed kidney. They left me to die. I had one tooth in my mouth. When I got to the hospital, they said, "Get the next of kin. He's not going to make it through the night."
Simultaneously, the mother of my son, who I had already mistreated -- not physically, but from my lifestyle of an active addiction, abused her -- she said a prayer. The power of prayer does work. She was praying. The doctor was saying, "His vital signs are changing." I made it through that night. Now, I can't say I felt God, saw God, or heard God. But I felt the warmth, and I got better. I got better.
That next morning, the doctor, I mentioned before, came in and said, "You got four months to live," but I got better. It was an amazing two months. You know, they say that the healing process starts with pain. That night there was much pain from the beating, but it was a healing process and I'm still healing. Because it's 11 years later, and I'm just in awe of where I'm at.
I'm reading a book called "The Pursuit of Purpose." We walk around so many times to try to find out who we are. But in this book, it talks about: Why are you? I'm here because of HIV -- I'm here to be of service.
How did you get your money for drugs? Were you working?
I was an executive at a major company on 34th Street in New York. I was a junior executive. I started what I'd call white-collar crimes.
They say that you hurt the ones that love you. My grandmother, who raised me, had money. She was ok. I faked three kidnappings and she paid the ransom. I used that money to buy drugs.
I worked for Macy's for 18 years -- again, a functional addict. I remember one time, during a board meeting, a production meeting, I had to go in the bathroom and use before I'd do anything.
I remember coming to the podium during this meeting and I took off my blazer, and blood was still coming out of my arms. I was oblivious to it. I thought I was saying some good stuff because they were saying, "Ooh," and "Ah," but they were looking at the blood coming out of my arms.
Those are things that I know I don't ever want to return to. But I started doing white-collar crimes. But then, in 1996, Macy's had a private buyout. I had already moved to Atlanta when they had the private buyout. I was one of the first ones to go. They knew they already had trouble with me. So I became homeless in the streets of Atlanta.
I started doing shoplifting. I was a smart shoplifter. I would get a smoke detector. I would take it in the parking lot. I would break the wire, and take it back in and say it was defective. They would have to give me $36 and that's how much it cost me to have my wake-up shot. It cost me $36: two bags of heroin, a bag of cocaine, a pint of wine and some beer. And that was it.
Every day?
Every day. That was just the beginning. That was to start the day.
Are the white-collar crimes what landed you in jail?
Actually, the petty crimes! I never got caught or confessed to the white-collar crimes. I have made my amends in my own way, as they say.
But I kept starting this petty thievery and stuff like that. I went before the same judge four times. He sad, "You need another profession. You're not a thief."
That's how I wound up in jail. I have been in jail maybe four times; I have never been to prison. The longest I've been in jail is about two months. But even those were devastating to me. It was embarrassing to my family. But that was the end result.
They say in recovery, "Jails, institutions are death." I have been to institutions. I've been to jails and I haven't died. Well, I had a spiritual death going on, but I hadn't physically died.
The last time you were in jail was when you found out that you were positive?
Yes. That was the last time I was in jail. I didn't make the decision. Because when I did get out -- I'm glad I was incarcerated that night and in protective custody -- when I did get out my active addiction was really, really bad. I was trying to -- you know the song, "Killing me softly, kill me slowly?" I was trying to kill myself slowly. I was a coward. I wasn't going to jump off a bridge or anything like that. My addiction just took off and it took me to the point, to the beating and stuff like that.
You mentioned your grandmother, and I know that you have children. How did you tell your family that you were HIV positive? When did you tell them? How did they react?
The first one I told was my dad. My dad had no problem with it whatsoever. They were still in New York, and I was in Atlanta. So I called my dad and I told him. But even when I told him, it was in a manipulative way, because I wanted him to feel sorry for me for him to send me some money so I could get high.
Then I told my mother and she was negative about it. She said some really bad things. Again, now I know why she said the bad things -- because of her own fears, and because of not being educated about HIV and AIDS.
Trust me now: We're the best of friends. We are the best of friends and she's my greatest supporter. When I did the show, the Peter Jennings show, she was quite upset with something that came out within the context of that. But I already let her know that Peter Jennings had already died. He did not edit it. Somebody else edited it. Our relationship has really grown. But she did say some bad things.
Then it trickled on down to my brother and my sister. All of them were supportive, other than my moms. Then I had to come to my children. Two of the oldest ones, up here in New York, I told first. They were upset, but they were okay. They were like, "Daddy, what do we need to do?" Remember, these are the kids that I abandoned. There was no relationship. They were just like, "Okay. Let's circle the wagons. Daddy, what do I need to do?"
Then Tiffany, my daughter, and George, Jr., my children in Atlanta. I brought Tiffany to my office. I had already started volunteering and I worked in the AIDS Survival Project. She was like, "You're about ready to send me to college. What's all of this stuff?" So I made my disclosure right there in my office at AIDS Survival Project.
George, Jr.: I just told him, actually, a year ago. He knew. Our children do know. But I sat down and just spoke to him. And I mentioned it to him on the way, whereas I want him to not make some of the decisions and the choices that I've made and really work on self-esteem issues. Because of self-esteem issues; that's why I started really using. It wasn't that I come from a bad family or an impoverished neighborhood; my self-esteem was low. You know, I just try to educate him.
What is the best response you've gotten from someone after telling them you were HIV positive? Is there one shining moment in your memory?
I didn't see the reaction, but again, from my dad. I think my dad had the best response when I told him I was HIV positive: "Son, I love you. We'll get through this." A soldier, true to his heart. You know, a soldier with compassion: "We'll get through this, son. What do we need to do?"
I have disclosed to people and have gotten the big hug and big kiss. If I were to say something, it's that when someone does make a disclosure, we can tell if it's a sincere, compassionate hug, or if it's ... Sometimes, the response, when you tell somebody and disclose to somebody: "I'm so sorry."
I don't want you to be sorry. It actually wasn't your fault, to be sorry. I don't know if people say that because of lack of words, and stuff like that. Just be supportive.
I went to a hospital health care situation. I had an ear infection. I told the technician that I was HIV positive. She went out of the room and came back with gloves and a mask on. I questioned her about that, because I had already started advocating for myself. She went out and a doctor came in with two pairs of gloves and two masks on. I was like, "I'm not going to open my mouth, because I don't want somebody to come in here with a space suit on. Just let me be quiet."
How has your coinfection changed how you have dealt with HIV?
I think the biggest thing about the coinfection that has changed me is that I'm mindful of what regimens I'm taking; I'm mindful of what I'm putting in my system -- you know, if things are real toxic, I'm mindful of that. I'm mindful -- although I just celebrated 11 years clean and sober -- I think the hepatitis C and the HIV diagnosis keeps my recovery really in place. Why risk your life? That's what I was doing anyway, but you know.
You said that you felt you were in the best place that you could have been to find out that you were HIV positive. What advice would you give to someone who might not be in the best place and just found out that they were positive?
I think the first advice is to be still. Because it's what we call Day One. Day One could be really, really frightening ... especially sitting back on the other side of the desk and getting the diagnosis. So the first advice is just to be still, because your thoughts are going to race.
After being still, find some support. We know that sometimes family members are not receptive or don't understand HIV. When I told my mother I was positive, she had a negative response to it. But I had to realize that she wasn't educated. She had her fears. So, be still; then find some support. Get into some health care, and you can set a game plan. Then realize that it's not a death sentence; you can live with this.
You've already mentioned your relationship with your mother. How have your other relationships with family and friends changed because of your diagnosis?
This trip to New York has been so overwhelming and has really raised my T cells. This is the first time that all four of my children have been in a room together. Never been in a room together. Because of my active addiction, you know, I abandoned my children. These past 10 years, 11 years, of my diagnosis and living clean and sober; it's a whole new life and our relationship is really, really great. All four of my children have different mothers, but all of them look alike, and all of them are just so friendly and loving to one another. It's just an awesome thing.
So the relationship with my children is really great. I've met two of my grandchildren on this trip. It's really a good thing for me. This moment right here is good for me.
Do you think it's harder for African Americans to deal with an HIV diagnosis?
Yes. I think African Americans have a whole lot to deal with. I waver; I go back and forth because sometimes the stereotypes will make you say, well, African Americans are poor. They are illiterate. They have drug histories. They have jail histories ... and stuff like that.
But the reality of it is, some of us do. Some of us do. So we are addressing those other issues at the same time. Then to get an HIV/AIDS diagnosis; it's one of those, okay, what can happen next? Or one of those, I'm going to give up.
With African-American women, I think it's challenging for them, because at that time some of them, I believe, go into survival mode. "I'm going to take care of my children, and I'm going to be secondary. I'm going to make sure that they are okay." So they neglect their health in some ways in order to take care of their children. Because some of us know that it's not a death sentence, but we know that -- we're not running out of time, but the clock is on. I know that I try to get 29 hours out of a 24-hour day. Because I know that I want to enjoy, or get everything I can get out of a full day.
So with African Americans living with HIV and AIDS, men and women have their different challenges. I think that you have to address the other issues, the social issues, the illiteracy issues, education and stuff like that. Then try to combine them all when you start educating yourself about HIV and AIDS.

CARACAS, Venezuela – Reaching for the faucet felt like a frustrating game of chance for Elizabeth Robles.
At first, water flowed only one or two days a week, so Robles, president of her homeowners' association, hired trucks to fill the building's underground storage tank. With self-imposed rationing, the residents had water — but only for an hour, three times each day.
"When you get home at five in the afternoon all sweaty, you couldn't take a shower," said Robles, a small business owner and lawyer. "It's like punishment by water."
Finally they were fed up. Since the government couldn't provide water, they decided to drill their own well alongside their apartment building in the tony Campo Alegre neighborhood, an increasingly popular solution among the well-to-do as Venezuela's water system crumbles along with its socialist-run economy.
Venezuela's meltdown has been accelerating under President Nicolas Maduro's rule, prompting masses of people to abandon the nation in frustration at shortages of food and medicine, street violence, rampant blackouts — and now sputtering faucets.
Robles said she and her neighbors hired a drilling firm in February for $7,000 — roughly $280 per family. At least three other buildings on their tree-lined street, which is near the city's most-exclusive country club, have hired the same engineer.
The firm moves its crew and towering yellow rig from one work site to the next. The noisy diesel-powered machine clatters around the clock for several days until the drill strikes water, generally about 260 feet (80 meters) down.
Meanwhile, the less fortunate struggle with dwindling public water supplies, hoping sporadic flows will fill their 150-gallon (560-liter) plastic storage tanks fitted with buzzing electric pumps. Or they stand in line at trickling hillside springs to fill up empty jugs for free.
"Sometimes your dirty clothes pile up," said Carlos Garcia, an unemployed construction worker who used up eight hours one day filling containers at a spring.
Neighborhood water shortages have sparked more than 400 protests countrywide in the first five months of the year, according to the Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict.
Caracas once had a world-class water system, pumping water from far-off reservoirs over towering mountains into the valley that cradles the city. Now its pipes are bursting, pumps are failing and a small herd of cattle grazes at the bottom of the Mariposa reservoir outside the city, feeding on grass that should be deep underwater.

Posted Sunday, February 13, 2011
After nearly nine months of investigation and legal proceedings, the owner of a vessel deemed derelict by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) received a 39-day jail sentence and was charged $236 in court costs.
On May 6, 2010, FWC Officer Jeff Luce responded to a report of a wrecked and grounded vessel in the Banana River, east of Snug Harbor, in Brevard County.
Luce said he recognized the vessel from an encounter in 2008, in which the owner, Jeremy Ross (DOB 02/02/80) of Virginia, was charged with having an abandoned/derelict vessel.
Those charges were dropped, but the most recent charges were prosecuted. After pleading not guilty, the owner changed his plea to guilty and received the sentence and fines.
"Abandoned and derelict vessels can pose safety and navigational hazards as well as become eyesores in Florida's beautiful waterways," said Capt. Richard Moore of the FWC's Boating and Waterways Section.
Owners are responsible for removing derelict vessels at their own expense, or they risk criminal charges, potential loss of vehicle and vessel registration privileges, and being fined for both court costs and the cost of removing the vessel.
"The FWC launched an at-risk vessel program to educate people who leave vessels on Florida's waterways in a condition that may lead them to become derelict," Moore said.
The FWC hopes this program will reduce the derelict vessel problem in the state by engaging boat owners in conversations about proper care and maintenance, requirements for vessel lighting and laws about title transfer. Someone may transfer
a boat to someone else who may allow it to deteriorate; without a proper title transfer, the original owner is still responsible.
The FWC is committed to networking with other law enforcement agencies and the public to prevent at-risk vessels from becoming derelict. A statewide at-risk and derelict vessel map will be available online in the near
future. More information about the at-risk vessel program<http://myfwc.com/RECREATION/boat_DV.htm> is available at MyFWC.com/Boating.

Farmers markets good for economy: officials
Connecticut's 130 farmers markets are open for the season.
In a recent news release, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy encouraged residents to support local growers and the economy by visiting the markets.
"We all know that there is no substitute for fresh, locally grown food," Malloy, a frequent customer at markets in Hartford, said. "Right now is the time to take advantage of the incredible quality and diversity of products being offered at farmers markets across our state."
Among the venues in the area are:
New Canaan Farmers Market, old Center School parking lot at South Avenue and Maple Street. It is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday through Nov. 22. For information, visit newcanaanfarmersmarket.net.
Darien Farmers Market, Mechanic Street public parking behind Post Road fire station. It is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through October. For information, visit darienfarmersmarket.net.
Stamford Museum and Nature Center Farmers Market, 39 Scofieldtown Road. It is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday through Sept. 28. For information, visit www.stamfordmuseum.org.
Wilton Farmers Market, Wilton Historical Society, 224 Danbury Road. It is open from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Oct. 1. For information, visit wiltonfarmersmarket.com.
Sweet corn is in season, as well as blueberries, raspberries and most popular vegetables. Other farm products, such as honey, jams, soaps, baked goods, eggs, cheeses and meats, can also be found at many of the markets.
The number of state farmers markets has roughly doubled in the last decade as demand for local products has risen, according to the release. Connecticut also leads New England in the number of new farms created in recent years.
Agriculture contributes about $3.5 billion into Connecticut's economy and represents about 28,000 jobs.
"Agriculture is thriving in Connecticut and farmers markets are the showcase for the exceptional fruits and vegetables and other farm products being offered by our growers," Agriculture Commissioner Steven K. Reviczky said. "The increased interest in local food and the state's solid support system for our farm families means consumers can find a market in just about any urban, suburban or rural community."
A complete listing of farmers markets and information on programs that protect and restore farmland are available by visiting CTGrown.gov.

Self-Cleaning Car Could Revolutionize the Auto Industry
In news that will make car washes around the world cringe, Nissan is working on the world's first self-cleaning car.
According to the video description, "Nissan has begun tests on innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt, meaning drivers may never have to clean their car again."
Well, that's just great. It means you never run the risk of taking the time to haul your car into the car wash to get it all shiny only to have a surprise thunderstorm render it all useless.
Now, if only someone could develop a self-cleaning mechanism for the inside of a car so that it doesn't look like you need to be put crime scene tape around all the coffee cups and hamburger wrappers you have stacked up.

Other Draft Withdrawal Deadline Decisions…Posted by rtmsf on June 15th, 2009
Other than Jodie Meeks (see post below), we promised to keep an eye on several other all-americans who were considering leaving school early, but who had put off the decision until the very last minute, i.e., today. Here's a list of their decisions, and how it will impact their team…
- Austin Daye, leaving Gonzaga – we said yesterday that we seriously questioned his reported decision to be leaning toward the draft, and it remains so. Someone will take him due to his size, length and shooting ability, but he's proven softer than Charmin, so we're not sure about his long-term prospects. As for Gonzaga, this is a substantial blow, as the Zags are already losing Josh Heytvelt, Micah Downs and Jeremy Pargo. It's never truly a 'rebuilding' year for Gonzaga, but Matt Bouldin will have a load to carry in the Pacific NW next season.
- Luke Harangody, staying at Notre Dame – this is a good decision, as Harangody stands to have a good nucleus of players surrounding him at ND next season, and with the Big East not as strong as it was in 2009, the Irish will likely be able to ride 'Gody and Tory Jackson to an NCAA berth after their disappointing campaign last year. He'll also have a legitimate shot at becoming the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in ND basketball history – he needs 730 pts and 370 rebounds, both totals less than he got this season.
- Jeff Teague, leaving Wake Forest – we're of the opinion that whoever drafts Teague in the late first round will get a steal on par with the Celtics selecting Rajon Rondo several years ago. In much the same way as Rondo at Kentucky, he mentally checked out of college hoops once he decided he was going pro, but the talent and athleticism is there. Wake will still have Ish Smith to run point and a decent supporting cast led by Al-Farouq Aminu, but Teague certainly was a difference maker and he will be missed.
- Greivis Vasquez, staying at Maryland – this is another good decision because a more composed senior campaign from Vasquez could easily push the Terp PG into the top twenty of the 2010 draft. This is huge news for Maryland because the Terps have an experienced team returning to College Park, losing only Dave Neal, and Gary Williams' team should compete for third place in the ACC next season.
- Ater Majok, staying at Connecticut – this was a pipe dream to begin with, but Majok may end up playing in Europe anyway due to his peripheral association to the ongoing Nate Miles recruiting investigation at UConn. If he does end up playing for Jim Calhoun next season, there's no telling how productive he'll be, so it's questionable what impact he could have.
- Texas A&M Trio – Chinemelu Elonu is leaving the Aggies, but Donald Sloan and Bryan Davis are returning. None of these three leaving made any sense whatsoever, and the 6'10 Elonu was clearly talking to the wrong people because he has no shot at getting drafted. A&M should still be solid with the returns of Sloan and Davis, however.
- Taj Gibson, leaving USC – probably a good decision given his age and the apocalypse going on at USC in the wake of the OJ Mayo scandal. Do we really need to rehash how this will impact USC next season? No, we don't.
We'll try to do some additional analysis on this year's draft class later this week, but don't hold us against it if we don't.

For a proper treatment of your chef's outfit, please refer to the care label with washing instructions at the inside of the garment. We recommend that you wash the garment before first use: at 30 degrees on a short program with a small amount of washing detergent. Choose an anti-wrinkle program if possible. Wash colored garments separately. To preserve the press buttons on the chef jackets, they should not be pressed in the laundry.
Good maintenance will result in long-lasting use. Clean your shoes regularly with a brush and a little warm water. We recommend treating the shoes with a neutral shoe cream, lotion or wax. Never use colored products. Dry the shoes without exposing them to the sun or a heat source. You can clean the white rim with natural soap and water, but make sure not to apply the soap to the leather. The best way to store the shoes is to place them in a shoe bag or box in a dry, well-ventilated place.

If President Bush decides to send more troops into Iraq, he will have the support of at least one (but probably only one) Democratic Senator. In a Washington Post op-ed, Joe Lieberman explains why he favors a troop "surge." Lieberman argues that "as long as insurgents and death squads terrorize Baghdad, Iraq's nascent democratic institutions cannot be expected to function, much less win the trust of the people." He also makes the case for not withdrawing from Iraq, namely that doing so would be a victory for Iran, a prelude to "killing fields" for Iraqis who have supported us, and an invitation to al Qaeda and others to create safe havens from which to attack our interests.
Lieberman's case against withdrawal is persuasive, but his case for a troop surge to prevent Sunni-Shia violence in Baghdad seems less so. The leading proponents of the surge, Jack Keene and Frederick Kagan, tell us that a surge lasting a few months would be futile and that to accomplish the mission we need something like 30,000 troops for 18 months. That's a huge commitment that would result in many extra American deaths. But what is the basis for believing that an 18 month surge would produce lasting success where a four month surge would fail? Isn't it more plausible to believe that Sunni and Shiite radicals, who have no particular place to go, can out-wait us regardless of the number of months we're prepared to engage them?
Lieberman may well be correct when he says that Iraq's nascent democratic institutions can't be expected to function while death sqauds terrorize Baghdad. But he doesn't show that our national security depends on the performance of Iraq's current government. Death squads operate, and governments function poorly, all over the world. This becomes a national security concern only if the government has the desire and means to harm our interests, supports those who have the desire and means to do so, or fails to prevent its territory from being used to harm our interests. We can prevent these things from happening in Iraq, and prevent Iraq from spinning into a true civil war, without policing the worst neighborhoods of Baghdad.
Iraq, of course, isn't just any country. We have staked much on "succeeding" there, and we have defined "success" as creating and sustaining a well-functioning Iraqi government. But when we stipulated to that definition I don't think we truly understood the ease with which sectarian forces could undermine the government. Accordingly, unless there is very good reason to believe that a sustainable troop surge can bring permanent security to Baghdad, it may be time to redefine what constitutes success.

Firefox Portable 46.0
The latest portable version of Firefox
Review detailsHide
Our verdict
Firefox Portable 38 is a relatively minor release, including tab-based preferences
Platform: Windows 8 compatible, Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows 7, Windows 7 64-bit, Windows Vista, Windows XP
After more than ten years of development Firefox has become one of the most popular browsers around, with a 20% share of the market and hundreds of millions of users. Creators Mozilla aren't exactly running short of ideas, though, quite the opposite: the move to a rapid release cycle, and a major update every six weeks, has seen the browser further enhanced with a host of new features.
Firefox can now view PDF files itself, for instance - no need to install a third-party tool. And it's a great viewer, too, with zoom support, document thumbnails and icons, full-screen display, printing and more.
Navigation is always quick and easy. Launch the browser and the redesigned home page gives you one-click access to key functions like "Downloads", "Bookmarks", "Add-ons" and more. While the New Tab page automatically displays thumbnails of your most recent and frequently visited sites. You don't have to browse lengthy menus, or click toolbar buttons any more - you can find your favourite sites at a glance, and open them with a click.
Maybe you're concerned about security? The program will now alert you if something tries to change the default search provider, without your permission. It can block outdated web plugins - Flash, Java and so on - from opening content, helping to protect you from exploits. And maintaining your online privacy is now easier than ever, as Firefox can open a private browsing tab without interrupting the rest of your browser session.
The interface is regularly being refined to make it simpler and more usable. Tracking your downloads is easier than ever, for example: a tiny icon to the right of the address bar keeps you up-to-date with download progress, and you can now manage your downloads, history, tags and bookmarks from the same Firefox Library screen.
The future is looking very interesting, too, with regular low-level updates giving the browser even more powers. So a new "Social API" means you'll be able to access Facebook directly from Firefox, for example, without having to visit the Facebook website, while the new WebRTC framework adds direct support for in-browser audio and video chats.
And of course all this is built on an already strong foundation, absolutely packed with essential features: a powerful search bar, easy-to-use tabbed interface, password manager, pop-up blocker, integrated web search, RSS feed reader, comprehensive security and privacy tools, and a vast collection of the best browser addons you'll find anywhere.
Firefox still has plenty of strong competition, of course, in particular from Google's Chrome. But the browser is also fast, easy to use and absolutely packed with features, and if you've not tried it recently then Firefox definitely merits another look. Firefox
Note that this is the portable version of Firefox.
