Court of Appeals of Idaho
March 2, 2017
CROSSROADS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, INC., Plaintiff-Respondent,v.RICK A. ERICKSON, Defendant-Appellant.
Opinion No. 18
from the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District,
State of Idaho, Ada County. Hon. Gerald F. Schroeder,
District Judge; Hon. Patricia Young, Magistrate.
of the district court dismissing intermediate appeal, vacated
and case remanded.
A. Erickson, Meridian, pro se appellant.
Fotheringham LLP; Brindee Collins, Boise for respondent.
GUTIERREZ, Judge
Rick A.
Erickson appeals from the district court's order of
dismissal of Erickson's intermediate appeal from the
magistrate. Erickson argues the district court erred in
several respects, including denying Erickson thirty-five days
to file his appellant's brief and not settling the
transcripts. Erickson requests attorney fees and costs on
appeal to this Court. Crossroads requests attorney fees and
costs on appeal to this Court and on appeal from the
magistrate. For the reasons explained below, we vacate the
district court's dismissal and remand.
September 2013, Crossroads Neighborhood Association, Inc.
(hereinafter "Crossroads") filed a complaint
against Erickson to enforce compliance with Crossroads'
protective covenants and to address a number of outstanding
violations on Erickson's property. Erickson failed to
respond with an answer to the complaint and instead filed
several motions. Thus, the magistrate entered default
judgment against Erickson in July 2014. Erickson soon after
filed several additional motions with the magistrate,
including a motion to set aside the default judgment.
Erickson also filed an appeal with the district court in
September 2014.
same month, the district court issued an order setting forth
the procedure and timelines for the appeal and requiring
Erickson to order and pay for the cost of the transcripts
within fourteen days of the filing of the notice of appeal.
After Erickson failed to pay the transcript fee, the district
court entered a conditional dismissal, giving Erickson an
additional fourteen days to pay the fee. Erickson paid the
fee, as evidenced by a notice of payment, and the district
court reinstated the appeal. The district court then updated
the briefing schedule in an amended order on October 30,
2014, which provided that Erickson had thirty-five days to
file his appellant's brief after the filing of the
district court determined that Erickson's motion to set
aside the default judgment had not yet been resolved by the
magistrate, and thus the appeal was improperly reinstated.
The district court stayed the appeal, pending a decision on
Erickson's motion, and remanded the case to the
magistrate. The magistrate denied the motion to set aside the
default judgment. The district court reviewed the
magistrate's order and, after determining the appeal had
no valid basis, dismissed the appeal.
filed a petition for rehearing, which the district court
presumably granted.[1]During the hearing
on November 19, 2015, the district court stated,
"I'm dissolving the stay . . . we need to resolve
this quickly, and we can best do that by reinstating the
appeal, having a briefing schedule. . . . Any stays are
dissolved, the appeal is reinstated, and we'll issue an
order setting forth a briefing time." The district court
clarified the issue on appeal was whether the magistrate
appropriately granted the default judgment. The district
court asked Crossroads to prepare an order reinstating the
November 20, 2015, the district court entered another amended
order governing procedure on appeal, requiring Erickson to
file his appellant's brief by December 24, 2015. The
district court noted in that order, "it appear[s] that a
transcript of all the testimony of the original trial or
hearing has been provided by appellant." However, a
review of the record indicates the transcripts were never
produced. Erickson filed a request for the transcripts on
November 24, 2015, but the record does not indicate the
district court resolved this request.
December 21, 2015, the district court issued a written order
lifting the stay and reinstating the appeal. Erickson failed
to file his brief by December 24, 2015, so Crossroads filed a
motion to dismiss the appeal. Notably, Crossroads did not
provide authority to support its motion to dismiss. The
district court subsequently dismissed the appeal with
prejudice on January 8, 2016. Erickson filed a petition for
rehearing, ...

By Danah Jbara
Growing up in the Kuwaiti culture there's plenty that we've grown accustomed to, mainly wanting what everybody else has. It's not just your usual global trends such as Apple products or Starbucks Coffee. Whether it's the way we dress, the businesses we start, the places we eat down to the perfume we wear, it has to be like the rest of our fellows or else… we just won't fit.
Being unique just doesn't cut it. Men: you have to own a pair of Tod's or Toms, you absolutely have to have a stock of A&F or Hackett at home, with a few colored poufy vests and you definitely can't leave the house without your toiletry bag that you've vainly abused as a murse (men's purse). Yes, I can tell by your wrists, keys and wallet, that Bottega is your favorite brand too. Thankfully the craze of Fierce and Black Orchid colognes is now fading but of course we can't get enough of that Creed.
Ladies: Who said it has to rain for you to pull out your Hunters and your UGGS to bear the Siberian colds of Kuwait? Make sure to grab that Trapeze or Birkin the second you step out of the country, along with a pair of Hi-Tops, preferably Marants, since we all know they'll wonder where you got it from, and then get it the week after. I'm sure by now, you know that leggings have officially replaced pants and whatever it is, if it's not studded or spiked it's just not cool enough.
Amongst the saturation of cupcake bakeries and burger joints, fashion designers/stylists and turban heads, come the race of the glamorous automobiles. Factually, the Gulf has the highest amount of sports cars per person in the world; I mean we make Porsches look like yellow cabs, while Ferraris and Lamborghinis decorate our streets around every corner. Cars have always represented social status, so it's only normal of humans to want a bigger, faster, hotter and a newer one to show off.
There was a time where every girl's coveted car was a Carrera, with or without the added S, even its sister Targa would do. After a while, her desire evolved to the bigger yet still sporty Cayenne as well as the Range Rover Sport. We can understand these choices, as they are luxurious cars that offer speed and so many other options among transportation, not forgetting their hefty price tag that despite the bulk numbers we see them in, most cannot afford. Believe it or not the Range Rover Sport has openly become the most anticipated car among men, in hopes of most probably catching a woman driving it. Of course the car trend marathon does not end here. To take it up a notch, girls started asking daddy, or sugar daddy, for the famed Mercedes Benz G-Class, and not forgetting, tinting it to avoid "unwanted" attention, like men in this country aren't hawks who'll spot a female miles away, especially with her window "half down". Obviously, luxury is the keyword amongst the trending car choices, along with safety, speed and sleek design. However something new seems to be stealing the spotlight from what we're used to seeing roaming the streets of Kuwait. It defies the norm with its reasonable price, its bulky, far from safe design, and lack of speed. Ladies and gentlemen we present to you the new Habba: The Jeep Wrangler.
In all its different models, sizes and colors the Wrangler has made a comeback on the streets of Kuwait. The word Jeep is synonymous with rugged, all-conquering vehicles and although the Wrangler's design and engineering has been rarely evolving for as long as it has existed, more and more Kuwaiti buyers keep coming to the brand. Who would have thought that the anticipated car is now a non-luxurious one that doesn't have an account draining price tag? Who of the fathers ever imagined taking his daughter to the Jeep dealership to make her dream come true with a Wrangler Sport? Well the world as we know it is changing; glaciers are melting, dictators are falling and Kuwaitis are embracing self-expression and freedom in the wilderness of Gulf Street. Not that the Wrangler's purpose of use wont be traversing dirt roads and mountain terrains of Kuwait's ring roads, but it might also be used for minimal weekend trips to the chalets, a few off roads here and there.
Thanks to Kuwait's "Habba", in November 2012, the Jeep Wrangler has topped the sales of the Porsche Cayenne in 10 places, landing only 2 places below the beloved Range Rover Sport according to a sales chart by bestsellingcarblog.com. In fact, Jeep hit the list of Kuwait's Top 20 Selling cars in November of 2012, when it was nowhere near it in May, just a few months earlier of the same year. Talk about the power of a trend.
This 4WD has its perks though; with the heavenly weather of Kuwait you get to use and abuse its drop top, doors or everything that drops in that matter. You also get all the traction and control you need to navigate through rain, snow, mud, ice and unexpected obstacles as advertised, and of course, you get to create your own parking spot on any sidewalk of your choice. Okay, you definitely need a 4×4 for your desert trips and off road adventures boys, but girls; driving to the chalet to spend the weekend tanning and bingeing on goodies doesn't count as a trip that requires the wrangler as your main car let alone as a second car just for fun. The Wrangler was built as an off-road vehicle originally used in World War II, it's not meant to be driven on paved roads and is actually hard to steer, not an easy and swift drive around town at all. Even Jeep admits that it isn't the best vehicle in its stable when it comes to on-road driving. However this four-wheeled box makes sense once it hits natural terrain and can definitely be enjoyed like any toy, but not in an everyday, to and from work, kind of way.
The Habba is what it is and we should take a moment to appreciate the habba-setters out there for boosting sales in Kuwait, regardless of the medium be it a restaurant, a vehicle, a brand, down to a specific coffee drink (it's only called Vanilla Ice Shaken in Kuwait by the way). It's a mystery as to how certain things become trends. Yes – the American media is a factor, but who smelled Black Orchid on which celebrity? Or started their cupcake bakery after which artist? Better yet, name me one person in Hollywood with thick straight lines tattooed as eyebrows. I guess some things cannot be understood, and if you're not going to strap on your red bottoms and hop on board you just have to sit back and enjoy the show.

The Jamaica Biscuit Company was founded in 1911 for the manufacture of Water Crackers and presented under the brand name "Excelsior".
The founders of the Company were Messrs. Lionel DeMercado and Alfred Dacosta who were Jamaicans and John Crook an American Citizen.
The factory was established at No. 2 Church Street, Kingston 11, and was one of the first light industries to be established in Jamaica.
The factory operated with one oven and output was confined to one product which, from its inception, was successful.
Excelsior Water Crackers were in those days sold by barrel, hence the well-known expression "Cracker Barrel" which is still in use today.
The brand "Excelsior" which was established by the water cracker, was maintained when the Company commenced the manufacturing of other type of biscuits.
Excelsior Water Crackers were packaged in 2lbs size tins which were made by the Company in Tinsmith's shop which was built onto the Church Street factory.
In 1952, a new factory was built at the present site at 206 Spanish Town road, Kingston 11.
Over the years, Excelsior Water Crackers have become famous for their extraordinary versatility. They are much at home under butter, cheese or jam, as with dips, ackee and saltfish, stewed chicken or steamed fish. Well known and recognizable by their unique cupped shape, Excelsior Water Crackers have the distinction of being appropriate as part of a meal from Appetizers, to Entrée, to Dessert.
For many years now, The Jamaica Biscuit Company Limited has been exporting its Excelsior Crackers to North America, Europe and the Caribbean, to satisfy the demand of Jamaicans in the diaspora.
Today, the range of products made by The Jamaica Biscuit Company Limited has expanded to include, Excelsior Savoury Snacks, Sweet Biscuits and Cookies. Products such as: Excelsior Cheese Krunchies and Animal Crackers have been on every child's list of favourite things for many decades. Our Smoochies Sandwich Cream category have given young Jamaicans more tasty products to be excited about, while our Bran &Oats have introduced the "healthy bite" to add to their lives. Our most recent addition the Excelsior Snackers Snack Crackers Wheat and Original is a savoury, fun snack that is ideal for any occasion.
Consistent quality continues to be the hallmark of all Excelsior products. Our more than 500 employees have delivered on that commitment for over a hundred years. You can depend on us for the next century. You can be assured you are getting the best every time you reach for any Excelsior product.

Kolkata: A day after refusing to mediate on the Gorkhaland issue, West Bengal Governor MK Narayanan Thursday said he "was willing to talk to the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha leadership".
"If he wants to talk to me, I will talk to him," said Narayanan on media queries whether he would engage in a dialogue with GJM chief Bimal Gurung.
Narayanan also hoped for an amicable solution to the issue of a separate Gorkhaland state for which the GJM has been agitating.
"I hope some kind of discussion between the parties (GJM and the West Bengal government) emerges so we may have a solution without recourse to violence," added Narayanan.
Narayanan Wednesday had ruled out any mediation.
"Governors don`t mediate. If I was not a governor, then may be in my earlier avatars, I could have but as a governor I can`t," the former national security advisor had said.
The GJM has ruled out any dialogue with the state government saying the matter concerned the central government and they would talk only with the Delhi leadership.
Life in North Bengal`s Darjeeling hills has been paralysed following an indefinite shutdown by the GJM started Aug 3 to press for a separate Gorkhaland state.
While the Calcutta High Court has declared the shutdown illegal, the state government has been cracking down on the movement arresting key Morcha leaders and supporters.
The GJM, meanwhile, has relaxed the shutdown for four days, beginning Thursday.
The Gorkhaland movement for a separate state - to be carved out of parts of Darjeeling and its neighbouring Jalpaiguri district - has left many dead over the past two-and-half decades, besides affecting the region`s economy chiefly based on tea, timber and tourism.

5 Party Tips Culled from Dave & Alexis's Thanksgiving Feast
I spent Thanksgiving with Dave and Alexis. Until I arrived, I had completely forgotten that they'd moved since the last time I'd been at their home, two Thanksgivings ago. Couple Dave's culinary prowess with Alexis's skill in party throwing (she has honed her people skills as a producer on Glee) and you get a home that invites you in and encourages you to stay. These two really know how to throw a party that starts early, ends late and is always fun. Their secrets, after the jump!
Multiple drink stations and food stations: It's a fact: people naturally crowd around the food and drinks. In order to keep 'em moving around and not crowded in one place (or having everyone trying to crowd into your miniscule kitchen), break up your food and drink into multiple stations. This way, you'll get people moving all over the house.
Rethink how your your house is configured: The screen from a window that looks out onto the backyard was removed. It's now a handy pass through that opens up the living room to the "dead space" that was the pathway to the garden. Don't be afraid to move your furniture around to make it more guest friendly whether that's creating conversation areas or rolling up the rugs to clear a dance floor. And don't forget about the bedroom. Though many people use it for coats (a great idea if you don't have another option), what about pushing the bed against one wall and piling it with pillows to make a divan and a second conversation spot for guests who might want to talk outside the main action of the party?
Decorate your bathroom: Harsh lighting can be a quick killer of anyone's self-esteem. A string of holiday lights around the bathroom mirror provided enough light to check for make up smears and fix your hair but was still dim enough that any imperfections were glossed over. Candles, flowers, liquid soap, a stack of single use towels are all things to consider in your bathroom when you're having people over.
Consider games or a special drink for later in the evening: After the main event, whether that's dinner or cake, many people take it as their cue to depart. Encourage them to stick around by introducing a fun game or a special drink. Dave opened up a bottle of Fernet Branca, insisting everyone take a glass for their digestion. The bitter (but ultimately effective) liquer had everyone talking; later, Alexis pulled out a game of Taboo, bringing out everyone's competitive spirit.
Have something for people to take home: Gift bags are not just for little kids or corporate events! While Thanksgiving naturally invites guests to bring home leftovers, you might want to consider other small tokens to thank guests for coming.

Spacewedge vehicle decsending with 288 sq. foot parafoil. NASA photo EC 92-04271-4
From October 1991 to December 1996, NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., conducted a research program known as the Spacecraft Autoland Project to determine the feasibility of the autonomous recovery of a spacecraft using a ram-air parafoil system for the final stages of flight, including a precision landing. The NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston, Texas, and the U.S. Army also participated in various phases of the program, with the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory developing the software for Wedge 3 under contract to the Army. Four generic spacecraft models (each called a Spacewedge or simply a Wedge) were built to test the feasibility of the concept and also of the use of a parafoil for delivering Army cargo. Technology developed during the program has applications for future spacecraft recovery systems. Spacewedge demonstrated precision flare and landing into the wind at a predetermined location. The program showed that a flexible, deployable system using autonomous navigation and landing was a viable and practical way to recover spacecraft.
Program Development
NASA researchers conducted a flight test program in California to develop and refine the Spacewedge vehicle design. The first test vehicle (Wedge 1) was just four feet long and weighed 120 pounds. It was initially launched from a hillside near Tehachapi to evaluate general flying qualities, including gentle turns and landing flare. Two of these slope soar flights were made on April 23, 1992, with approximately 15-knot winds, achieving altitudes of 10 to 50 feet above the ground. The test program then moved to Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards Air Force Base, and to a sport parachute (Skydive) drop zone at California City. A second vehicle (known as Inert Spacewedge or Wedge 2) was fabricated with the same external geometry and weight as Wedge 1. It was initially used to validate parachute deployment, harness design, and drop separation characteristics. Wedge 2 was inexpensive, without internal components, and considered expendable. It was first dropped from a Cessna U-206 Stationair on June 10, 1992, during flight three. A second drop of Wedge 2 verified repeatability of the parachute deployment system. The Wedge 2 vehicle was also used for the first drop from a Rans S-12 ultralight modified as a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) during flight nine on August 14, 1992. Wedge 2 was later instrumented and used for ground tests, mounted on top of a van, and became the primary test vehicle for the Phase II test series. Thirty-six flight tests were made during Phase I, the last taking place on February 12, 1993. These flights verified the manual control and autonomous landing systems of the vehicle. Eleven of the tests were remotely controlled. Most were launched from the Cessna U-206 Stationair. Only flights nine and 12 were launched from the Rans S-12 RPV. Phase II of the program ran from March 1993 to March 1995, and encompassed 45 flights. It continued the research for NASA JSC, using a smaller parafoil for higher wing (parachute) loading. For Phase II, NASA Dryden engineers developed a new guidance, control, and instrumentation system. Phase III, encompassing 34 flights, evaluated the Precision Guided Airdrop Software (PGAS) system using Wedge 3 from June 14, 1995, to November 20, 1996. Researchers used Wedge 3 to develop a guidance system to be used by the Army for precision offset cargo delivery. The Wedge 3 vehicle was four feet long and was dropped at weights varying from 127 to 184 pounds. Unlike Wedges 1 and 2, its flight objectives were not tied to the terminal recovery of a space vehicle, and it was not called a Spacewedge. (There was also a fourth wedge, but it never flew and

served only as backup hardware to Wedge 3.)
Spacewedge Design
Two Spacewedge shapes, resembling half-cones with a flattened bottom, were used for four airframes that represented generic hypersonic vehicle configurations. Wedge 1 and Wedge 2 had sloping sides, and the underside of the nose sloped up slightly. Wedge 3 and Wedge 4 had flattened sides, to create a larger internal volume for
instrumentation. The Spacewedge vehicles were 48 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 21 inches high. The basic weight was 120 pounds, although various configurations ranged from 127 to 184 pounds during the course of the test program. Wedge 1 had a tubular steel structure, covered with plywood on the rear and underside to withstand hard landings. It had a fiberglass-covered wooden nose, and removable aluminum upper and side skins. Wedge 2, originally uninstrumented, was later configured with instrumentation. It had a fiberglass outer shell, with plywood internal bulkheads and bottom structure. Wedge 3 was constucted as a two-piece fiberglass shell, with a plywood and aluminum shelf for instrumentation. In the manual control mode, the vehicle was flown using radio uplink. In the autonomous mode, it was controlled using a small computer which received inputs from onboard sensors. Selected sensor data were recorded onto several onboard data loggers. A commercially-available 288 sq. foot ram-air parafoil was selected for Phase I tests. Such parachutes are commonly used by sport parachutists. The docile flight characteristics, low loading factor, and proven design allowed the project team to concentrate on developing the vehicle rather than the parachute. With the exception of lengthened control lines, the parachute was not modified. Its large size allowed the vehicle to land without flaring, and without sustaining damage. For Phase II and III, a smaller (77 sq. foot) parafoil was used to allow for a wing (actually, parafoil) loading more representative of space vehicle or Army cargo applications. The Spacewedge Phase I and II instrumentation system architecture was driven by cost, hardware availability, and program evolution. (During Phase I, Wedge 2 had an inert payload but was outfitted with instrumentation for Phase II.) The essential items consisted of the uplink receiver, Global Positioning System receiver and antenna, barometric altimeter, flight control computer, servoactuators, electronic compass, and ultrasonic altimeter. Added instrumentation included a video camera and camcorder, control position transducers, a data logger, and a pocket personal computer.

NASA employees integrated these off-the-shelf components. Wedge 3 instrumentation was considerably more complex to accommodate the PGAS software system. Spacewedge control systems had programming, manual, and autonomous flight modes. The programming mode was used to start up and configure the flight control computer. Researchers entered the landing coordinates, decision altitudes, and ground wind velocity at the landing site. The manual mode used a radio control model receiver and uplink transmitter, configured to allow the ground pilot to enter either brake (pitch) or turn (yaw) commands. The vehicle reverted to manual mode whenever the transmitter controls were moved, even when the autonomous mode was selected. The autonomous mode allowed the vehicle to navigate to the landing point, maintain the holding pattern while descending, enter the landing pattern, and initiate the flare maneuver. There were three decision altitudes: at the start of the landing pattern, at the turn to final approach, and upon flare initiation.
Spacewedge Flight Profile
When at high altitude and offset from the landing point, the vehicle was commanded to fly to the landing point. If the landing point was reached while at or above the first decision altitude (typically set to 300 feet), then the vehicle was commanded to fly a holding pattern until it descended below the decision altitude. The holding pattern was an upwind racetrack aligned with the wind (as input in the programming mode). Each lap of the racetrack pattern consumed approximately 500 feet of altitude. Below the first decision altitude, the vehicle was commanded to enter the landing pattern. The point to turn to final approach was based on a second decision altitude, typically 150 to 200 feet. This second altitude was a function of the wind and the position relative to

the landing point. Once on final approach, the vehicle was commanded to maximum speed, steering commands were locked out, and the ultrasonic altitude sensor was activated. At a final decision altitude of about 26 feet, the flare was initiated by commanding full brake. Touchdown occurred approximately four seconds later.
Key Personnel
Many Dryden employees and partners worked on this project. These included R. Dale Reed, who originated the concept of conducting a subscale flight test at Dryden. He also participated in the flight testing. Alexander Sim managed the project and participated in the flight tests and documentation. James Murray served as the principal Dryden investigator and as lead person for all systems integration for Phases I and II. He designed and fabricated much of the instrumentation for Phase II and was the lead person for flight data retrieval and analysis in Phases II and III. David Neufeld performed the wedge systems mechanical integration for all three phases and served as parachute rigger, among other duties. From Draper Lab, Philip Hattis served as the project technical director for his organization's significant contributions to Phase III. For the Army, Richard Benney was the technical point of contact, while Rob Meyerson served as the technical point of contact for NASA JSC and provided the specifications for the Spacewedges.
Spacewedge Contributions
NASA is studying a variety of vehicles for use in returning humans and cargo from space to Earth. Although the configuration of these vehicles has not yet been finalized, several capsules and lifting body designs are under consideration. Potential NASA users for a deployable, precision, autonomous landing system include proposed vehicles with human crews as well as planetary probes and booster recovery systems. Military applications include the use of autonomous gliding parachute systems on aircraft ejection seats, and high-altitude, offset delivery of cargo to minimize danger to aircraft and crews. Such a cargo delivery system could also be used for providing humanitarian aid. The Spacecraft Autoland Project, or Spacewedge, was an example of the innovative engineering work that is typical at NASA Dryden. Off-the-shelf equipment was used whenever possible in the project to keep costs low and to reduce development time. A relatively inexpensive Rans S-12 ultralight aircraft was modified as a RPV drop aircraft until the less labor-intensive unmodified Cessna U-206 had proved its viability. The four Spacewedge research vehicles are currently in storage at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif.

FBI Atlanta Presents 2013 Director's Community Leadership Award to Orrin Hudson
|FBI Atlanta December 10, 2013
Acting Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Ricky Maxwell, FBI Atlanta, presented the Director's Award for Community Leadership for 2013 to Orrin Hudson for his exceptional insight and success in reaching disadvantaged youth in the metropolitan Atlanta area through the game of chess. On April 4, 2014, FBI Director James B. Comey will host all the FBI's 56 selectees from around the country at a national ceremony to be held at FBI Headquarters, with Mr. Hudson present as Atlanta FBI's honoree.
Mr. Hudson, a motivational speaker and community activist, realized the need to become involved in finding a solution to curb teenage violence within his community. Mr. Hudson recounted that, much like today's youth, he was destined for trouble until a teacher changed his life by introducing him to a chess board.
Mr. Hudson, a former law enforcement officer with the state of Alabama, believes that prevention is better than detention, and, since becoming involved, he has helped over 20,000 children develop the practical skills and techniques to overcome obstacles in life as illustrated through the best and most intellectual visual aid, the chessboard.
After moving to the Atlanta area in 2001, Mr. Hudson launched Be Someone, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit foundation that uses numerous tools, including the game of chess, to promote self-esteem, responsibility, and analytical thinking to underprivileged youths.
Mr. Hudson has touched numerous young lives, and he has been relentless in his pursuit of reaching more young people and introducing them to the game that changed his life. His teaching methods are designed to share something positive to inner city kids where the focus is discipline and patience required by the game of chess.
Mr. Hudson's organization is dedicated to teaching life lessons primarily to the youth who are at risk of violence in their lives or are at risk of making poor choices that will not allow them to be successful. The mission of Be Someone is to build character, hope, and inspiration so that kids can set and achieve lifetime goals while realizing their full potential.
Mr. Hudson has been featured on the CBS Early Morning Show, Good Morning America, and CNN. He often partners with communities, schools, and local churches to inspire youth to participate in the Be Someone program.
Mr. Hudson continues to speak at schools as well as holding classes in Stone Mountain, Georgia, where he lives with his wife and children. Over the years, Mr. Hudson has taught thousands of such children his message of staying away from violence, stay off drugs, to never give up, and to "Be Someone."

In Vallorcine we continues by foot up to our climbing crag, 5 picthes with 5.8+ later we're back on the bus to Chamonix. Swedish fika, quick stroll through some stores. Spend some money on a pair of new trail running shoes. Back to the hotel, get changed for running and swimming. Run over to the lap pool, 1200 meter of intervalls in the pool followed by 70 min of running. Dinner, meet up with a friend for a beer and finally time for bed. That's how a day could be spent in the Arve valley!

The Offices of the State Attorney and Public Defenders are asking Florida lawmakers to give them funding to increase the salaries of the state's lawyers. Both offices say they're experiencing high turnover rates, because of the low pay their attorneys receive.
William Eddins, the State Attorney for the First Judicial Court, says across the state, his office is having trouble keeping attorneys in their jobs. And he adds those who stay, are generally less experienced.
"From my standpoint, what you want is a certain number to be there 30 years," said Eddins. "In our circuit, we'd like to keep it a third for thirty years. A third for up to five, and then a third that goes ahead and tries the cases against us. Unfortunately, we're below that now."
"We're spending a tremendous amount of time training lawyers to be good lawyers to go out in private practice to go out and beat our brains out," remarked Eddins. "And, we do a good job of that. But, I'd like to reach to the point, where we're training lawyers to stay with us. As Betty Jacobs says, 'they're either leaving or looking.'"
And, Julianne Holt says her office has that same problem. She's a Public Defender with the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit.
"It is problematic from the standpoint of the amount of money and the amount of time you're putting into the training of the lawyers and then when they leave you," said Holt.
"Most of our offices in the Public Defenders Association do in fact do exit interviews and the two primary reasons that people leave, number one, is the lower salaries people believe exist. The other, however, has been the fact that we haven't been able to increase salaries through either cost of living or any type of merit increases."
Holt says she's found that lawyers at the public defender's office are leaving for similar jobs for nearly double the pay.
Both offices made their funding requests at the first meeting of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Criminal and Civil Justice Thursday.
Many Senators on the panel raised several questions, and committee Chairman, Republican Senator Rob Bradley, says he's not so sure the solution state attorneys and public defenders are asking for is the right way to go.

I was very sad to see this weekend end. It was a weekend of crafting for the most part, 2 trips to Michael's included. Although I didn't do much, it was really nice to just spend time relaxing and creating new things. I will be sharing what I've done (and today's photo is a clue for that), but for now I'll just try to survive through this Monday. I give Monday's a lot of crap, but they can be alright. You just have to look for the positive things! For example... I have a new phone case coming today! Hooray for getting packages! And hey, only 4 more days until it's the weekend. We've got this. :)
Let me know one positive thing about your Monday!

He calls it "fire in the gut." It's the excitement, the burning drive to work through a problem and see the solution. It's staying up at night, turning something over and over in your head and feeling exhilarated when you finally come up with an answer, says Chris Hardin, Professor and Chair of the Nutritional Sciences Department.
Will describes a recent project exploring the relationship between binge-eating and increased food palatability. Genetics plays a large role in our craving for high-calorie food.
So far, U.S. agriculutural policy has been geared toward making cheap food. According to Hardin, it hasn't done much in the way of encouraging healthy food. With his research and the new metabolic kitchen, he's hoping to be able to suggest a new policy that will focus on making healthy foods accessible.
There are many facets of our nutritional landscape that contribute to the obesity epidemic Hardin is fighting. As a culture, we eat out too much, we take diets to the extreme, and our children don't play outside as often as children in past generations. Hardin knows our culture has a problem, and he is working to combat it with healthy food and educational intervention.

Uganda Lawmakers Demand Answers about Troops in South Sudan
Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni, November 30, 2012.
Peter Clottey
Last updated on: January 01, 2014 2:49 PM
Members of UgandaÔÇÖs parliament are demanding answers from President Yoweri Museveni after deploying troops from the national army to South Sudan without seeking parliamentary authorization as enshrined in the constitution, according to parliamentarian Medard Sseggona.
On his recent visit to South Sudan as part of an effort to help resolve the security crisis there, Museveni said East African nations have warned South SudanÔÇÖs former Vice President Riek Machar to comply with a cease-fire or face action by regional nations.
But Sseggona says it was inappropriate for Museveni to interfere in South SudanÔÇÖs internal affairs, which he says could create tension and worsen the security situation there due to that countryÔÇÖs ethnic complexities.
ÔÇ£The president threatened Riek Machar with pulling him out of the bush, which is not our political, economic or social interest to interfere with the internal affairs of the government of South Sudan,ÔÇØ said Sseggona.
He says Museveni contravened the constitution by deploying troops from the Uganda PeopleÔÇÖs Defense Force (UPDF) to South Sudan without parliamentary approval.
ÔÇ£We are asking for an explanation as to how the government deployed our forces in South Sudan without consulting and obtaining a parliamentary resolution as required by article 210 of our constitution,ÔÇØ said Sseggona. ÔÇ£We demand to know how many of our children have died in South Sudan [
and] two how many of our soldiers have been deployed in South Sudan and for how long? Because it would appear we might be there forever.ÔÇØ
But supporters of the government rejected the lawmakersÔÇÖ demands as a publicity stunt. They contend that President Museveni has the constitutional mandate to protect citizens irrespective of where they are, and has deployed the troops to evacuate Ugandans trapped in South Sudan due to the conflict there.
ÔÇ£We want the president to tell us how many people he has rescued from South Sudan,ÔÇØ said Sseggona. ÔÇ£WeÔÇÖve actually demanded that parliament be recalled to discuss this [South Sudan] crisis, because we are risking Ugandans by threatening to intervene or to interfere in an internal conflict.ÔÇØ
Uganda foreign ministry spokesman Fred Opolot told VOA that the UPDF troops are in South Sudan to protect and evacuate citizens.
ÔÇ£Our major concern is to ensure that [our citizens] are safe, and if not they are evacuated so that process is ongoing,ÔÇØ said Opolot. ÔÇ£Uganda PeopleÔÇÖs Defense Forces [
are] in Juba to secure the airport, in order to ensure that the evacuation process goes very smoothly.ÔÇØ
Opolot denied reports that the government in Kampala sent UPDF troops to support South SudanÔÇÖs President Salva Kiir in the ongoing conflict in AfricaÔÇÖs newest nation.
But Sseggona says the legislators demands are legitimate and in accordance with the constitution.
ÔÇ£We must know in specific terms what are our interests; the political, economic and social interests,ÔÇØ said Sseggona. ÔÇ£Apart from good neighborliness, apart from rescuing our sons and daughters who may be faced with death in South Sudan, we must know the broader and long term objective in South Sudan.ÔÇØ

Street Preservation Plans for Summer of 2018

Street Preservation Plans for Summer of 2018
At its Wednesday meeting, the Bend City Council authorized about $5 million for street preservation work in Bend this summer.
This included a $4.7 million agreement with Knife River Corporation that will improve 47 lane miles with grind-and-inlay and overlay treatments. This will include work on some high-use streets including Third Street between Wilson Avenue and Badger Road, Mount Washington between Shevlin Park Road and Chandler Avenue and some areas of downtown that weren't treated last summer. Much of this work will occur at night to minimize disruptions to the public.
The Council also approved a $334,334 contract with Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. for slurry seal treatments on about 34 lane miles around the City.
"We strive to address street preservation with one whole corridor at a time, to make it easier on the public and more efficient for the City," said Bend Streets and Operations Director David Abbas.
"After this two-year budget cycle, it will be a number of years before any major maintenance improvements are needed in the downtown area," he added.
A project map can be found on the street preservation webpage. It shows a variety of types of treatments that will occur on Bend roads. The City's "Keep Good Roads Good" philosophy means we maintain and preserve streets with the most cost-effective treatment for the road condition — the right treatment at the right time. Treatments include:
- Inlays and Overlays – Old asphalt is ground out and replaced or a new layer of asphalt is paved on top of existing roadway. The process can take a couple of days.
- Slurry – A treatment for low-volume residential streets. One-day closures typically expected.
- Chipseals – Hot oil and rock are applied to the road. Rolling, short term closures expected.
A road's conditions help the City determine maintenance plans. Arterial and collector streets are highest priority. Street preservation treatments can include chip seal, slurry seal, grind-and-inlay or overlay treatments, depending on the severity of the road degradation. The worst roads need full reconstruction. Reconstruction is exponentially more expensive than maintenance, not an efficient use of maintenance funds and more likely to be paid for as part of a larger Capital Improvement Program.
One of the City Council 2017-2019 goals included improving road conditions and building new transportation facilities to help move people and products around Bend efficiently, safely and reliably. One-time funding was reallocated to improve street conditions during this two-year budget cycle.

Memories Of My Father
A Memorial To A Memorable Man
It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
-Anne Sexton-
Knowing that today was approaching, I debated about whether or not I should write on my father. If I were to write about him, what would I say? When do I cross the line from what I want to say and what I'm allowed to/should say? At this point, does it even matter?
My father died six years ago today of a heart attack. It was the Tuesday of my college spring break. I spent the day working on a class project. I wanted to complete my work early in the week so I could socialize and do what I really wanted to do for the remainder of my break. I sat at my computer, right next to the phone. This was the last time I sat there. I don't know why I sat there in the first place. I detest having to answer the phone. Even with caller id, you never know what version of the caller you're going to get. Anyway, I answered the phone and it was my Uncle Brian. From the sound of his voice, I knew something was wrong. As my father's mother wasn't in the best of health (or so I believed), I assumed it was her. He asked to speak with my mother and I handed over the phone as if it was a piece of hot coal. I will never forget the way she said "John? My John? He's dead?" I looked at my grandmother who was looking up at my mom. I stared at them for the longest minute of my life. She said we would be up there (at my Nana's house) within the hour and to not let them take him before we got to see him.
On the ride there, I kept remembering things about him. How large his hands were. How I loved watching him shave. I tried to remember the last thing we had said to each other. I watched the car clock, praying that cars would make way for us. Every second dropped from the clock like a coin in a bucket.
John Graeme Walsh was born on October 29, 1946 in Montreal. He was a mischievous kid. I've always had this vision of him climbing trees at his aunt's farm, hiding from his many brothers and sisters, teasing them from his safe haven in the tree. My dad's aunt told my mother at one point that my dad's personality suddenly changed at twelve. He had become quiet and nervous, the man I always knew. His family came to Tewksbury, Massachusetts when he was in his teens. When I was little, my Nana told me that he and his oldest brother traveled in a pickup truck from Canada to the US with all of the family's belongings. It sounds exciting and nothing like the guy who got so grumpy when he went on family road trips. He enlisted in the Army shortly after coming here, serving proudly for the last portion of the Vietnam War. He met my mom when he was in his late twenties, marrying her on August 26, 1976. He became a father in 1979 when my oldest brother, Joel, was born. The following year, Steven, the middle son, was born. I came along in 1984.
My Dad worked as a cook in a local hospital for as long as I could remember. I was told he was a good cook, but I only infrequently got to sample his cooking. He felt my mom to be a better cook. I will say he made a great bowl of shredded wheat and a mean cup of tea.
When I was twelve, he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, a serious mental illness characterized mainly by having delusions and hallucinations. Though my family had always suspected something was wrong, it took his work to get him to see a doctor. At twelve, you already are backing away from your parents, trying to become your own individual, being too embarrassed to acknowledge the people who created you. When you add an unfriendly diagnosis into the mix, it doesn't bode well. In hindsight, none of us dealt with this well. At the time, mental illness still had a stigma. My mom told us not to tell anyone because no one would understand. Already a private and guarded young woman, this made me even more so. For anyone who knows me personally, it becomes clear immediately how closed off I am.
We all silently wondered why this had happened. How could a man so outwardly healthy be so ill? His therapist offered little help. His illness could've been traced back to serving in Vietnam. His illness could've been entirely genetic. When something like this happens, everyone points a finger. Our already strained relationship with his family became even more so. They blamed his illness on my mom and she threw it right back at them. My father became increasingly more distant, retreating into his music, books and movies. We all retreated into ourselves, not wanting to break our promise to each other, not even with each other. His diagnosis changed everything.
When I was little, I would watch him shave, wishing I could grow facial hair so I could be like him. I would wake up very early so I could sit with him while he ate his breakfast. He'd make me a bowl of shredded wheat and we'd whisper as not to wake my mother up. I'd tell him about school or my dolls or something else that only a child would find important and he'd listen to me, impressed. I'd go back to bed and be lulled back to sleep by the sound of his morning routine and his boots on the stairs. When we'd go to church, he'd hold me and I'd touch his face. My mother tells me all of the time that I'd say, "Isn't he the most handsomest man in the world?" He really was handsome too. I just stopped allowing myself to see the beauty in him after a certain again.
Though unable to put my finger on the exact point, I know my view of him started to change even before his diagnosis. I became all about my mother, her word becoming the only law. I grew up and pulled away from him with a sharp tug. After he was diagnosed, unable to understand this new information, I became flat out cold. I couldn't be in the same room as him. I couldn't say one kind thing about him. When he needed love the most, I shut myself off.
After he moved out and they got a divorce, I wrote to him on the holidays. He tried to maintain more of a relationship with me, but I wouldn't allow it. When he'd visit, I'd say hello and retreat to my room. I was too full of pain and anger to attempt to speak to him. When he died and my Nana allowed us to take the items of his that she saw no use for, I saw that he had saved every piece of mail I had sent him. I, on the other hand, tossed out the bulk of his cards. To have his words lying around meant I was allowing him back into my life. Though I'd give anything to have those cards back, at the time, keeping them beyond a first read was unthinkable.
As we pulled in front of my Nana's house that night, I remembered all of the Saturdays that Steven and I would accompany my Dad on visits. We'd sit in one of the backrooms, watching my cousin play Nintendo, hoping the visit would end soon. I don't know about Steven, but I went with my Dad for the car rides to and from her house. My Dad owned the cool car. He listened to the cool music. He let me eat candy. Watching him drive was the best part though. He seemed so in control and strong. I felt safe and taken care of with him at the wheel. We stopped visiting on Saturdays by the time I was in the fourth grade.
When we entered the house, it was too quiet. Two of my uncles were there talking, but I didn't hear them. Dreamlike, I walked to the room where my father lay "sleeping." He looked peaceful. Were he snoring, the scene could've been any night of week while I was growing up. I wasn't alone with him for long. When your father has just died, no one seems to want to leave you alone. People have to check on you. People have to tell you how much of a good man he was. You don't get a chance to formulate your own thoughts until a while later.
The wake and funeral are a blur. They went by too quickly, sucked up by conversations had with family members and family friends I barely knew. The general consensus was that he was a kind, intelligent, religious man who loved his children and his family very much. The priest at his funeral added that he was a proud American who served his country proudly, changing my dad's blue burial suit to red, white and blue. Everyone seemed to have a different perspective on him none of which mirrored my own.
My father was the type of man you'd want to sit next to at a dinner. He was shy and charming, opinionated, but not pushy. He loved my mom very much, speaking of her with such love and respect until the day he died. He believed my brothers and I were capable of anything though he credited my mom with all of our good traits. He had enough knowledge about the world to fill a series of encyclopedias, but you'd never know this because he was too shy to spout anything off. He had a warm smile and a distinct laugh that made you feel like a winner if you could elicit either from him. He had an unwavering belief in God and wished he could've instilled it in his children. He was a true gentleman who never swore in front of us and always held doors. He was as tall and sturdy as a tower, but gentle as a summer breeze. Though I never acknowledged it before, he was an amazing father.
People say that when someone dies all of your bad memories of them fade away and you are left with an inaccurate vision of them. While the past six years have given me enough time to work through many of my "father issues", he was not a perfect father. His flaws have not faded away. He should've taken his medicine, side effects and all, to show that he loved me and was willing to put in the effort to make things work. Unfortunately, his illness was too severe for that to happen. He should've been more of a father to his children, making himself more available to us than to his nephews. I understand that they needed a "father figure", but it was just ridiculous. He should've been more open and told us that he loved us instead of sending the message through our mom. However, my last complaint is true of many fathers so to place it entirely on him is wrong of me.
Today, as my family encourages me to remember his death, I prefer to remember his life. He will ever remain a mystery to me. My list of questions for him will continue to grow, remaining unanswered and yellowing over time. Still, piecing together what I know personally, have heard second hand and imagine, I feel like I have a good idea of who this John G. Walsh character was. He was/is my Dad, one half of what makes me "me.

About > Activities
Our love for traveling started more more than twenty years ago in a plane somewhere in the skies of South America when a man showed us his passport stamped in several Antarctic scientific bases. We immediately decided to go there. That was the beginning of numerous adventurous trips to many remote parts of the world.
Our pictures appear on a regular basis on the UNESCO World Heritage website as well as on brochures and exhibitions related to conservation.
Since 2005, we switched to digital photography and attended many workshops.
