Select An Industry:
December 07, 2005 Lehigh Valley, Pa.
For every middle-aged American who's ever strummed a guitar as a teenager and dreamt of "making it" in rock and roll, The Difference, an award-winning rock and roll band at Air Products (NYSE: APD), shows that success in music is achievable later in life, so long as you hold true to your passion and have lots of fun along the way.
The Difference, formed in 2000 and honored in 2001 at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as the Best Corporate Rock Band in America, has lived up to its namesake, an Air Products corporate motto that says that the company's people—through their integrity, passion and understanding—is what sets it apart in the marketplace, by truly making a difference over the past five years. The Difference has played more than 200 charity/corporate events and recorded three benefit CDs, raising over $300,000 for various non-profit organizations and causes, including the Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Diabetes Foundation, American Heart Association and local charities.
"People our age identify with us in that you never stop wanting to do the things you love," says 50-year-old Ed McKendry, lead guitarist/vocalist and Air Products' manager of electronics marketing communications. "I've been playing guitar my whole life, and the desire to do that just doesn't go away at 50. While there's not many 50-something-year-olds doing what we're doing, especially within a corporate structure and with a corporate blessing, it's never too late to find time for the things you enjoy. The band's been a great vehicle for meeting people and seeing places we never would have thought possible."
For 53-year-old drummer/vocalist Sal Nicrone, group leader of chauffeur services at Air Products, The Difference represents a second chance. "I had pretty much sold all of my equipment and given up on music," Nicrone says. "We knew each other for years, knew we all played, but it never occurred to us to put something together and form a band. But once we did, we knew we had something special. People say don't you get tired of dragging all of that equipment around. But once you're up on stage, it's definitely worth it. I'm thankful for a second chance to play with some great musicians and do some good in the process."
Since competing in and winning the Fortune (magazine) Battle of the Corporate Bands in 2001 at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, The Difference has maintained a presence at the Hall. The Difference entertained at the 2002 and 2003 editions of the Fortune Battle (once a band wins it is no longer eligible to compete), and conducted, along with drummer Liberty DeVitto of Billy Joel's band and guitarist Jeff Carlisi of 38 Special, a music teach-in for students of the Cleveland school district at the 2005 edition of the Fortune Battle, which was held Oct. 7-9 in Cleveland. The Difference also participated in a jam session Saturday night at the Hall with Carlisi, DeVitto, G.E. Smith and Southside Johnny.
"Just being there is incredible, not to even mention performing," says 48-year-old Steve Eck, acoustic guitarist/vocalist and Air Products' access control systems administrator. "The magnitude hits you and it's simply overwhelming."
Fifty-one-year-old Jim "JT" Meyer, lead guitarist/vocalist and Air Products' electronics business support specialist, echoes Eck's comments. "I just kept smiling on stage and thinking, 'Am I really here?'" says Meyer. "I mean I look over and I see Liberty playing, and I can't believe it. It's awesome. Struggling musicians out on the road in the trenches would die for this opportunity. To be able to raise money for charities on top of this is the greatest."
Fifty-four-year-old Terry Wetzel, Air Products' manager of office support services and the band's sound technician, says he enjoys the front-row view he gets of the band's performances at the Hall and other venues.
"With me being out in front, I get to see the audience response from a different perspective," says Wetzel. "I hear the positive chatter and see how happy we're making people. It's rewarding. Every time I think we've reached the top, something more spectacular comes along."
Most musicians agree that "recording" is almost as much fun as playing live. To date, The Difference has recorded three charitable albums—"Rockin' for Charities" (2001), "Anything at All…for Charity" (2003), and "Grow" (2005).
The Difference's latest CD, "Grow," is titled in tribute and dedicated to founding member Barry Grow, who died of cancer in 2003. "We miss Barry a lot, as a person and as a musician, as he was really a fundamental part of the original band," says 52-year-old Joe Hilgar, guitarist/vocalist and Air Products' global strategic sourcing manager in procurement. "His spirit is there every time we go on stage or get together and jam. I'm glad we dedicated the new one to Barry, and I'm real pleased with the product. I think it's our best effort to date."
The album is described by The Difference as lighter than the previous two. The band has been getting an increasing number of acoustic gigs and the band wanted to capture that spirit with an acoustic, easier sound. "Grow" contains 17 tracks, including covers of songs by the Eagles, Johnny Cash, the Doobie Brothers and The Beatles, plus four originals—"Grow," "When She Smiles," "This Day" and "Vacation Mode."
"Grow," written by Meyer, is the title track and an instrumental that's inspired by Barry. "It reflects the fun we had playing and visiting different areas together," Meyer explains.
"When She Smiles," by Eck, is a strong piano-led ballad. Eck notes that it's a love song written years ago and originally recorded for, and played at, his daughter Kristy's wedding in 2002. The lyric "you can't see how much she's cried when she smiles" means that "everything's OK when she smiles," Eck says.
"This Day," penned by Nicrone, gives insight to a father's thoughts on his daughter's wedding day. "The song is an expression of the emotion a father feels when he gives his daughter away to a guy he barely knows," Nicrone explains.
Perhaps the most laid-back song on "Grow" is the Jimmy Buffet-inspired "Vacation Mode," which resulted from McKendry's first Buffet concert in Phoenix several years ago. "The song talks about just hangin` out and everything going smoothly, like when you're on vacation," McKendry says. The band members agree that their favorite line of the song is—"nothing you can give me is better than time."
For now The Difference is having the time of their lives doing what they enjoy most and making a difference through it.
"I have so much gratitude to be a part of this," Eck says. "It's what music is meant to be about. We make people happy. We make people feel things. And on top of everything, every time we go out we raise money for something important."
To purchase a CD, hear about upcoming live dates, or to request a booking of The Difference for your charitable event, please call drummer Sal Nicrone at (610) 481-4392.

An important concept to understand when developing a web app is the data-object's event cycle. Because of the asynchronous nature of how events are called by data-objects it can be tricky to get right.
As opposed to user events like mouse click and keyboard press which are triggered by user
events, data-object events is triggered by the data-object at specific points when something
has happened.
For instance when a data-object's
refreshDataSource() method is called it goes
and fetches data from the server. When the data-object has retrieved
onDataLoaded event is triggered. Use
attachEvent to attach
events to functions.
Of the 24 events you can attach to, only a subset of these is needed to know and understand to accomplish most common behaviours. Also, as long as you do not have any master child relations to worry about it all becomes fairly straightforward.
Below a data-object called dsGenres2 have attached every event writing out a log to the console when it is triggered. Open up developer tools and interact with the data-object
It all gets somewhat more complicated when having several data-objects with master/child relations.

PARAKH (Pajhwok): A number of residents of central Panjsher province hope the new provincial council, including young and qualified members, will better serve the masses.
The provincial council elections were held on April 5, but the results were announced after seven months delay. Five of the 10 members on the council are new faces aged between 32 and 37 years.
Hasib Mowahid, a resident of Koraba district, told Pajhwok Afghan News he was happy that young and enterprising public representatives had been able to find their way to the council.
The outgoing council did not serve the public properly and people expected the new members to focus on finding solutions to the current problems facing the province, he said.
Farhad, who belongs to Hesa-i-Daum district, was also hopeful of the young public representatives justifying their election by according priority to the resolution of public problems.
He asked the council members to convey a message to government officials to build schools, roads and hospital in addition to addressing other issues.
Najibullah Yaqubi, a new PC member, said coordination among the previous provincial council members had been poor. But the new members would try their best to meet public demands on a priority basis, he promised.
But Wahidullah Dazhkohi, who has been reelected, said the outgoing members had tried their best to find solution to problems.
They had paved the ground for promoting higher education and building the civil hospital, he explained.

TFI Friday is back on our screens this Friday, 12th June 2015, Channel 4 at 9pm.
The iconic 90's Friday night show hosted by Chris Evans is returning to our screens, 15-years after it finished, 19-years since it started - they made a mistake as they thought it was the 20th anniversary; classic TFI!
TFI Friday was synonymous with the Britpop era with Evans the magical conductor, backed by a brilliant writing team including Danny Baker and Evans trusty sidekick and pub-trickster Will MacDonald.
It was slightly risky viewing for 6pm and it was the perfect way to kick-start the weekend with Evans playing host to an hour of the best music around mixed with informal yet informative interviews and some wacky sketches.

Evans played out his fantasies in a studio with its own bar - his favourite bands, girls he fancied stopped by and snogged on the show (Kylie and Geri), Paul McCartney and David Bowie dropped by, with Macca leaving in style in a Bond-esque speedboat up the Thames, Shaun Ryder famously swore a few times with his interview with Chris and the Patrick Cox shoes being absolutely priceless TV.
The show imploded/exploded in spectacular fashion, the team and Evans simply couldn't keep up the pace burning out in spectacular fashion and being allowed to conduct naked Friday walks through the studio.
Geri and Kylie indulge Evans with some arm wrestling before snogging! Perfect Friday TV!
Patrick makes good f**king shoes man
Evans bounced back in equally spectacular fashion - buying and selling Virgin Radio, woo-ing and marrying Billie Piper, moving to LA, before returning to the UK and remarrying and revitalising his career on Radio 2 and the One Show.
What is TFI going to be like in 2015? It sounds kind of like 1995 all over again!
Mani from the Stone Roses is on - will he make an announcement about their new album and more shows? Liam Gallagher is on in a supergroup with Roger Daltrey, Zak Starkey and Ian Broudie, Blur are playing and Ocean Colour Scene will still be supplying the theme tune.
That suits me just fine. I'll take that over Alan Carr or Graham Norton any day of the week.
Timing was what was partly brilliant about TFI; it captured the heady days of Britpop. TFI was like your weekly Britpop News show and Evans was having the time of his life on national television. So were many of his guests!
Evans has two incredible autobiographies out that I would highly recommend; check the incredible true story about Richard Branson, John Cleese and Concorde revolving around the mayhem that was a TFI Friday writing party for starters!
The guy is a media genius, he can relate to people on the street and to rock and film stars with ease - allowing him to ask questions that no-one else would think of or be allowed to get away with.
It's not the mid-90's anymore, so TFI is on at 9pm. Perfect for the 90's generation as we can get the kids to bed and crack open a few beers....or is it a bottle of red these days?
I for one hope it leads to a few more shows.
Chris strips off to prepare for the return of TFI Friday 2015

In an image sent to IGN, Ubisoft has revealed that the daily player total for Rainbow Six Siege is "higher today than it was when we first shipped the game nine months ago."
This is mostly thanks to last week's Operation Skull Rain update, which helped the daily player count rise by 40% week-over-week, and by about 50% since launch in December 2015.
There will likely be a similar spike in October when the Japan-themed update launches.
In other Rainbow Six Siege news, Ubisoft announced yesterday that they've begun banning players who have been detected by BattlEye, their cheater tracking software. The number of banned players is in the "thousands" and Ubisoft is "starting with several waves of players that have been identified by BattlEye since its integration."
Did you return to Rainbow Six Siege when Operation Skull Rain launched last week?

Hickory Smoked Baby Back Ribs With Ground Cherry Hot Sauce
We previously gave you the recipe for the ground cherry hot sauce. Now for the ribs to go with it.
There are a variety of ways to cook ribs. This time I tried using the 2-1-1 smoking method — cooking them in 225° smoker for 2 hours uncovered, one hour wrapped in foil, and a final hour uncovered again.
This process starts out like most baby back rib recipes. Remove the membrane from the bottom (less meaty side), rinse the raw racks of ribs off in the sink and dry them off. For easier handling, I cut each rack of ribs in half. Apply a dry-rub and marinate 12-24 hours in the refrigerator. I was lazy and used a pre-mixed rub, but there are hundreds of recipes for rib rubs available online.
After the ribs are done marinating, remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let them sit for 20 minutes or so to let them warm up a little. When your smoker is up to 225° and is billowing smoke, it's time to add the ribs. For these ribs, I decided to use hickory smoke.
After the ribs have been in the smoker for 2 hours, wrap each rack individually with aluminum foil and return them to the smoker for an hour. For the final hour of smoking, remove the foil. 2-1-1
When the timer finally goes off , remove the ribs from the smoker, cover them with foil and let them rest for 20-30 minutes.
Finally, as a whole rack or cut it in to individual ribs, serve the ribs with your favorite BBQ, teryaki or hot sauce. We used our ground cherry hot sauce and it was delicious.
Your pets will want some too.

Kayaking on the Upper Tuolumne
This section of river is often called Cherry Creek because the first mile or so is on the creek with the put-in right below Holm Power House. The rapids drop at an average gradient of 100 ft per mile for 9 miles. It makes for a challenging and often exciting stretch of constant action. Most would agree it to be a world class stretch of fun.Read More

SevenEves by Neil Stephenson – an amazing epic (with a time span giving new meaning to the word epic) in a meticulously realized dystopia. The end of the world is nothing new for fiction… but I'm not sure I've ever read much of the long view of what happens generations afterwards. This book is not perfect, but it is crammed with ideas, and I don't think a week has gone by since I read it without me thinking of it.
Avenue of Mysteries by John Irving – I nearly burst with excitement at the prospect of a new Irving, especially one billed as the 'next Owen Meany'… but it was really just a lot of chat about the main character's medication, lions, ghostly women, and a ton of significant events and metaphors that were either too pretentious or facile for me to get. It is well-written, but I was bored by this book and sacrilegiously glad when it was done.
It has been a funny year for reading. I went through phases of voraciously devouring books, and other phases where I took weeks to finish a single book. But looking back, I read 54 books and they were a mixed bag.
The only book on the Booker shortlist that really tempted me was The Year of the Runaways by Sunjeev Sahota – this is a fascinating, sad insight into the plight of young men from India coming to England in search of fortune and happiness – and how that isn't always what happens. It's a book about humanity in its different forms. I also really liked the author when he read from it at the Booker shortlist event in London. Another outstanding book, also by an author I loved hearing from at an event (though this time in Washington DC), was The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. This intriguing, exquisitely written book imagines old England just after Arthur as a place rather different from reality, and centres on a delightful older couple as they journey to reclaim mysteriously lost memories. A really worthwhile, unique, and rewarding read. I found Funny Girl by Nick Hornby, about a Blackpool lass trying to break into comedy in London, to be charming, compelling, and indeed funny. Another anticipated book was Avenue of Mysteries by John Irving. See my 'disappoint of the year' above for details. I was also disappointed by the sequel to Life After Life – A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson was okay, but it didn't do much for me.
Slightly more offbeat
My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff, about a year working for JD Salinger's publishing house, was far more charming and compelling than I'd expected. Clever Girl by Tessa Hadley was also a nicely written, engaging read, about a 'clever girl' who gets pregnant when she's young, and the sequelae to that. Family Life by Akhil Sharma gave a bit of insight into life in an Indian family though I seem to remember it being a bit depressing. The Storied Life of AJ Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin (not that new, but was assigned reading on a holiday I was on this year) was lightweight but charming, about a man who runs a bookshop which is always an attractive theme. I went to a Booktopia event (by the people behind the podcast Books on the Nightstand) so read a few books by authors who spoke at that event. Thus The Book of Unknown Americans by Christina Henriquez which was fab (Mexican family move to Delaware, don't have a very good time, but good discussion of the contemporary American immigrant experience). I also read Fram by Steve Himmer – a sort of magic realism Arctic sort of book. Didn't really know what to make of it, but it was interesting… (and I liked Steve).
Of course I continued to fan my zeal for science fiction, particularly dystopias, and this was a great year for that. I discovered the silo series by Hugh Howey and very much enjoyed Wool, Shift and Dust, about humankind surviving underground in a society within a giant silo while the world above is poisoned. I also discovered the Life as We Knew series by Susan Beth Pfeffer, which surprised me in its excellent and engaging depiction of life on earth after a moon-related disaster. I adored Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel – a deeply engaging, complex story about a post-pandemic world. And I was really interested by Speak by Louisa Hall, about artificial intelligence and the risks of becoming too attached to your robot – I didn't enjoy the way the narrators jumped around though. My least favourite sci fi book was probably The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer (interesting ideas about drug lords running countries, growing clones for parts, etc, but it all gets a bit too depressing). And of course I couldn't resist a bit of John Wyndham – I adored The Midwich Cuckoos.
All of the above are told mostly from the perspective of teenagers/young adults. Sort of in-between was the surprising and compelling The Silent History by multiple authors. What an interesting book, and not just in its multi-author conception. It looks in a pseudo-factual, reporter-ish way at a rapidly expanding phenomenon of children who are unable to speak, and how society interacts with this. It's not often you find books that are really bubbling with ideas and social commentary. I liked this book.
As for sci-fi about grown ups, I discovered Neil Stephenson this year. Snowcrash, about a future where corporations exist instead of countries, there's no real law, and people exist online, is an intriguing, meticulously built world, even if I didn't particularly warm to the high-peril, save-the-world type story. But I absolutely adored SevenEves also by Stephenson, a story about the survival and evolution of humans, taking place over thousands of years after the Earth's destruction (by another moon event) – see my 'book of the year' above for details. Of course the most anticipated adult-focused dystopia book published this year may have been The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood. I'd read her previews on Kindle, and heard her talk about it, so I knew what to expect from this tale of an 'ordinary' couple seeking refuge from a dystopic world in an apparently ideal one, with a few strange – and of course alarming – quirks. I wanted this to be A Handmaid's Tale. Alas it was not. It was good though, and worth reading, but I didn't think it was great. The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North was a better, more interesting read than the Bone Clocks (people who are continually reborn over many generations), while The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber was a less good (but still pretty good) version of The Sparrow (Christian missionaries meet aliens on far away planets). Sliding down my list of enjoyment, I didn't really enjoy The Affinities by Robert Charles Wilson, despite its promise about extrapolating from how we live and narrow our lives on social media by separating people into affinity groups, which I think is an interesting commentary. The Forever Watch by Ramirez David was full of promise, following a woman on board the Noah, a space arc saving humankind from an earth disaster – but the writing wasn't great, and it just went on and on far beyond my caring about it. I had to google it to even remember it from my list! Neither was I a big fan of The Dog Stars by Peter Heller, another apocalyptic take – it was a bit macho or something… I don't know. But to be fair, the writing itself was pretty good.
I read a bit of young adult type fiction, the best of which may have been Wonder by RJ Palacio (a great, unusual, and gloriously engaging school story about how a boy with facial disfigurements affects his peers – its sequel Auggie and Me is of a similar excellent quality) and Black Swan Green by David Mitchell (middle-England coming of age), and my least favourite was The Wanderers by Richard Price (but if you like books about teenage gangs in New York, this may be for you…). I read two books about young girls sent to boarding schools for emotionally damaged children – what are the odds? I really liked Among Others by Jo Walton, about a sci fi fangirl with a bizarre family situation, but you have to have a certain tolerance for magic… Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer of The Interestings fame was a really interesting read, and I suppose I'd better not give it away but suffice to say it also involves a bit of magic. An Abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns, both by John Greene, were okay but didn't thrill me. Katherines was slightly better. And some more trashy style (but still enjoyable) like Greyhound by Steffan Piper (young boy from dysfunctional family makes long trip alone on Greyhound bus), while too trashy to really be that enjoyable was The Fever by Megan Abbott (school students become hysterically infected with a weird epidemic), and Landline by Rainbow Rowell (calling from a particular phone connects woman to the past).
I squeezed in a bit of classic English literature. I adored Trustee from the Toolroom by Neville Shute, about a very ordinary man having an extraordinary adventure in a very English way. I enjoyed Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I was rather delighted by the surprisingly feminist messages in An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott. And I delighted in The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins, about strange happenings around a marriage – I read it mostly because I was in Venice, where it is largely set, but it was absolutely compelling.
Given I'm about to move to Japan, I've been reading a bit around that. Not counting my delightful Japanese textbooks, I've enjoyed some books by foreigners ('gaijin') about their experiences living in Japan. My favourite may have been Tune in Tokyo by Tim Anderson, a witty, interesting, quirky account of his time teaching English in Japan and what life was like for him in Tokyo. I quite enjoyed My Japanese Husband Still Thinks I'm Crazy by Grace Buchele Mineta, a sequel with cartoons about a Texan's ongoing culture shock in Tokyo. A Geek in Japan by Hector Garcia was okay though not as engaging. I also read some Japanese-based literature, and The Thousand Lives of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell was intriguing, fascinating, and instructive about times before Japan was open to the West, though I found some storylines more engaging than others.

Minecraft Server FAQ
What type of server do you run?
We run SpigotMC as well as occasionally straight Vanilla Minecraft in between major updates to bring new features to our community sooner. Our Test server uses Spigot and our Games server runs Vanilla Minecraft.
What is the world seed?
The world seed is not available to anyone below High Council rank. This is to prevent the map being previewed with 3rd party tools to find generated structures or villages for personal gain. Go out there and explore!
Where are slime chunks?
You can request a slime chunk map in your area by providing the coordinates of your location/base to High Council.
I'm not whitelisted on Games or Test!
If you were whitelisted for less than 24 hours, our system may have not syndicated your access across the network. Some servers such as MapDev and Build are given access by request. If it has been more than 24 hours, feel free to contact any member of Parliament to whitelist you on our other network servers. All members of Parliament are OP'ed on all servers with exception to Main.
Do we have a world map?
Yes we do! Please see the top menu links to find them.
What plugins does this server use?
We use LuckPerms for permissions management, Prism for block logging and rollback support, DiscordBridge to link our Discord server chat to the minecraft server chat, Dynmap for server overview integration into our website, a command scheduler for our automated network tasks, and an array of several custom-made plugins to simplify the roles of our staff team.
Am I allowed to use mods?
Yes! You can use mods that make life a little easier as long as its not gamebreaking or cheating. Some examples of mods allowed: InventoryTweaks, Minimaps, Schematica, ArmorUI. If uncertain ask us on the forums or in the discord.
Community FAQ
What is Parliament?
Parliament is the administration of the Everneth community. Barons and Baronesses serve as Moderators, Counts and Countesses serve as Administrators, and the Duke and King are Operators. Mods form the (Low) Council, Admins and Ops form the High Council. Unlike most servers, Parliament is able to make changes to the rules by voting on proposals. Half of the Low Council is elected, while the rest of Parliament is based on meritocratic appointment. HC Members tend to be in charge of a Ministry or otherwise major function of Everneth, and have previously served as a Moderator before.
What are the Ministries?
The ministries are functional teams or departments of Everneth that help the community operate. We have 3 Ministries here at Everneth: The Ministry of Competition, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of Communications. The Ministry of Competition is in charge of minigames, tournaments, UHC, and other misc events for creating fun and competition between our community. The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for server builds, Council elections, runs server events, resolves the occasional dispute, and keeps the Test Server up and running. Finally, the Ministry of Communications is responsible for updating this website, the soon-to-be-created wiki, and more related areas.
Why is this community themed after medieval times?
This theme is to help both make us unique and to offer a fun experience away from the standard run of the mill server. We hope you enjoy this variation and would love more ideas and suggestions to help improve the overall theme.
Do you have a Teamspeak, Ventrillo, Mumble, or Discord Server?
We have a discord server and you can join us at any time by clicking this link: Here
How do I become a Mod?
There are several ways to become a Moderator. If you previously served or currently serve in a role in Everneth you already have a head start! Interact with other players, become respectable and well-liked by being friendly and respectful. This will help you get a nomination in an election and possibly a popular vote victory for a temporary seat. Other ways are to be appointed by the High Council for an open permanent seat.
Why are some Mods permanent and some temporary?
Some Mods are temporary to open up opportunity for others to advance through the ranks as well as for the community to choose who they believe should represent them in leadership of the server. The permanent mods are selected by the High Council based on who they see best fit for serving the community in the long-term.
Competitions & Events FAQ
Do you have any community events?
Yes! On top of bi-monthly UHC and quarterly King's Cup tournaments, we frequently host tournaments for players to come and compete for medals, items, and of course bragging rights. When we don't have scheduled events, we load up minigame maps on our Games server to take a break from the grind and relax with some friendly matches.

A West Side gang member was denied bond Sunday, after he was arrested and charged in the shooting death of a 7-year-old girl.
Chicago Police say 26-year-old Jerrell Dorsey is the man who murdered Heaven Sutton in front of her Austin neighborhood home last week.
Dorsey is charged with one count each of first degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm.
Sutton was helping her mother sell candy to neighborhood kids at a stand set up outside their home Wednesday night when two men approached the group and began shooting. The young girl was shot in the back and taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where she was pronounced dead less than an hour after being shot.
The second offender remains at large.
"I still feel sick because they have someone in custody, but they don't have both of them," said Sutton's Mother Ashake Banks. "I want both of them, not just one of them. So I'm still mad and I'm still upset."
Her death raised questions about police effectiveness against gangs. Mayor Rahm Emanuel was visibly upset over Sutton's death during a non-related press conference while answering a reporter's question about his gang strategy.
Banks said the shooting is gang related and knows the shooters. One of the offenders has been sending threats on Facebook, according to Banks who would not reveal his name, but had a clear message for him.
"I'm not going to sit back and rest," she said. "The message you sent me on Facebook, the same to you, sweetie. And God have mercy on your soul, where ever you all make it to."
Emanuel issued a statement through his office about the person in custody.
"I want to thank the Austin community for working with the Chicago Police Department to provide leads in the shooting death of 7-year-old Heaven Stutton," he said. "No parent should have to endure this type of pain. Bringing Heaven's shooter to justice will not bring her back, but I hope it will provide some level of solace to her family."
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy also issued a statement Saturday afternoon announcing a person had been taken into custody and included a message for Banks.
"While no family should have to endure the horrific and senseless loss of a young child, it is my hope that it will give Heaven's family some measure of solace to know we will not rest until we bring the person responsible for this tragedy to justice. We must do everything we can as a city and a Department to ensure that we do not lose another child to violence."

It's bitter cold in parts of the US, but climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann explains that's exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis.
It is colder than a polar bear dip and all Algore can cite is the scientific fraud Dr. Michael Mann, from Power Line [3]:
Michael Mann is one of the most partisan advocates for the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming theory. He is controversial for several reasons: he invented the "hockey stick" graph, which was intended to show that recent warming trends were unprecedented, and has since been exposed as a hoax that misrepresents historic temperatures. He has fought bitterly to prevent his own emails from being discovered in litigation, even though he is a public employee whose research is lavishly funded by taxpayers. He has participated in some of the dishonest "tricks"–their word–by which climate alarmists have kept billions of dollars in government money flowing their way.
Wry note, when the weather gets hot or stormy, most global warming scare mongers claim that is proof of anthropogenic global warming. On the other hand, when the temperature gets cold, they claim the science is complicated. Not so Algore, it all carbon, all the time.

Green beans remain one of the most popular of garden vegetables in Australia. They are certainly easy to start from seed, grow readily into large and vigorous plants and are very productive – particularly the climbing cultivars. But do you know which ones to grow in subtropical climates?
Every spring, as soon as the weather had started to warm, I remember my father building new frames at the very bottom of our garden in preparation for the season's bean crop, after he had consulted with our neighbor, Mr Doyle, regarding the ideal date for sowing. We grew climbing beans and my favorites were the yellow podded butter beans (known as wax beans in the USA). I recall we also grew purple beans – probably 'Purple King'. The bean seeds were covered in pink dust. Now I realize that this was a fungicide and pesticide treatment, identified by a red lead coating. I hope we washed our hands when, as children, we helped with the sowing!
Alongside the bean frames was an old, white, enamel washing tub, sunk to its rim in the ground and filled with water. We would collect seaweed from the beach, and various manures purchased from rural roadside stalls. These went into a hessian sack, which was sunk into the depths of the water and stirred every now and then. Dad would submerge his watering can into the tub and water the beans with this brew.
I remember Dad dug over the sticky clay soil each year prior to planting. We had a large compost bin nearby, so I'm sure compost was added at the same time. But most of all I remember that there were lots and lots of beans, and most evenings we used to pick large handfuls to take inside for dinner.
Beans have remained one of my favorite vegetables. However, living in rental accommodation, and for many more years in my own house that had a heavily shaded garden, I have only started to grow these plants in recent years, now that I have a larger sunny garden. I'm making up for lost time.
Most beans we grow, whether for their young juicy pods, podded beans or dry beans are cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris, known variously as green bean, French bean, snap bean or common bean. When dried, the seeds are known as kidney beans or soup beans. The seeds of many beans are specifically eaten when fully formed but still young and tender, and they are known as shelling, flageolet or podded beans. The plants can be climbing (pole) or bush (dwarf) – and of course there are some bean plants that are bushy climbers or climbing bushes and fall somewhere between these two categories.
Like many of our favourite vegetables, beans originate in the Andean regions of the South American continent and were being grown through Central America and up into Mexico and the southern USA before Europeans discovered the 'New World'. These beans are thought to have originated in Andean Peru and have been cultivated since at least 6000 BC.
If you live in cooler parts of Australia, you might also have come across the scarlet runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus) with its stunning scarlet red flowers (and occasionally pink, or white and scarlet) or the broad or fava Bean (Vicia fava). In the subtropics and tropics, snake beans (Vigna unguiculata var. sesquipedalis) are widely grown during the warmest, wettest months, along with lablab or poor man's bean (Lablab purpureus) and Madagascar Bean, a type of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus – named for Lima, the capital of Peru) grown for its large, white seeds covered in red specks.
All of these plants produce beans, however they vary in taste and texture from the green bean and therefore are generally used for specific dishes. I consider that the green bean is the sweetest, juiciest of these beans and the only one I would eat with a big lump of melting butter. However when it comes to curries, stir fries and stews, many of the other beans shine, for they retain their crisp texture and 'beany' flavor. It's 'horses for courses'.
When to sow beans in the tropics and subtropics
If you live down in the southern parts of Australia, you probably would have sown your beans in spring and would still be picking beans from these productive plants right now. However if you live in the tropics or subtropics, it is countdown time. In the tropics green beans often perish during the warm, wet summer months and snake beans and lablab beans are the staples. In the subtropics we get two shots at sowing – in both spring and autumn. In each case, now that the weather is cooling and the soil is still moist, now is the time for warm climate gardeners to think about which of the many cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris you wish to grow – and if you don't have them handy, to locate seed.
My suggestion is that you should focus on the climbing beans. These plants produce the heaviest crops, and over a long period. They have a large root system and are more tolerant of temperature and moisture variations. It is certainly easier to pick beans while standing up rather than constantly bending double. If you have a small garden or have back problems, grow climbing beans.
Pairing your climbing beans up with some bush beans is a good idea if you have the space for them. The bush beans will quickly produce beans but they will generally crop for a short time. By the time the bushes are exhausted, the climbing beans will come into production and will provide a more continuous supply of beans over the remaining season.
Of course there are always some exceptions, and flavor has to be one. If like me, you are a fan of butter (wax) beans you will want to grow the bush bean 'Beurre de Rocquencourt' which has been the gourmet's choice for over 150 years. Also, if you like to have plenty of dried red or black beans at hand, the bush beans will have to be grown.
So which beans will you grow?
Do you like green beans or do you prefer butter (wax) beans – or perhaps even purple or fleck podded beans (which unfortunately turn green upon cooking)? Do you prefer round pencil shaped beans or the broad, flat, Roman type pods?
Perhaps you want to grow dry beans for soups, stews, dahls or stir fries? Choose from black, red, yellow, white or multi-colour seeded cultivars depending on the dishes you wish to prepare.
I always try to grow some borlotti beans each year. These delicious, succulent freshly podded beans left a lasting impression on me while spending some autumn months in Florence one year. There are many other beans specifically grown for their succulent freshly podded beans.
If you live in the tropics you will need to select beans that will grow well during the tropical dry season. Conversely if you live in a cool temperate climate you will need to select bean plants that will not produce too late in the season.
In the subtropics, with two shots at sowing each year, there is a choice to make as to which climbing cultivars will grow better into the wetter warmer summer period, or conversely into the cooler dryer winter months. There are some 'stand outs' such as 'Purple King' that seem to tolerate anything we throw at them. However with limited data, it is often a case of trial and error over many seasons, and of course sharing your gleanings with other growers.
Despite their popularity, and compared to many other vegetables, there is still a limited diversity of beans available commercially in Australia. In part this is due to the strict import regulations for bean and pea seed. Seed merchants have been slow to offer a larger selection, particularly of climbing types, and many of the favorites of yesteryear, such as Yates 'Climbing Butter Bean', are still hard if not impossible to find. Luckily the range is increasing, and we can now do our searching on line and order directly from the suppliers. There are also seed savers networks and a range of clubs across the country which provide saved seeds for their members and interested growers. Finally there are the growers in your suburb or street who have been growing a favorite bean over many decades and who are happy to share this valuable resource.
Growing beans
Beans are easy to grow, and a great vegetable with which to start your vegetable growing adventure. They are also a great crop for children to sow, nurture and from which to pick the produce.
Bean seeds respond to soil disturbance and moisture. I had several plants appear miraculously when I had my drive relevelled. The seeds must have been lying there for some time before the disturbance occurred. Bean plants certainly grow much faster and more robustly in soils that have been dug and had compost incorporated. Being hardy plants, they will however tolerate 'no dig' practices.
A soil with a neutral pH (7) gives best results. It pays to do a pH test yourself or take a soil sample to your local nursery for analysis. Often soils are slightly too acid for peak growth and a dusting of garden lime can be beneficial. If previous bean crops have shown a tendency to yellowish leaves and green veins, you may also have a magnesium deficiency in which case adding dolomite lime at equal rates to garden lime may assist in better growth. However many soils are naturally high in magnesium so discuss this with your local growers or a horticulturist prior to application.
As you will know, I prefer to use a balanced biological fertiliser in my garden. It generally contains nutrients prepared to an appropriate ratio, often in the form of ground rock minerals which means they are retained in the soil and don't readily leach during heavy rain. This is especially important in tropical and subtropical areas, as you don't want to waste your money on unnecessary fertilizer and pollute groundwater. Many biological fertilisers also contain humic acid (humates) and biological inoculants. Remember, for long-term vegetable production, we want to enhance the soil and encourage healthy biological activity.
Having said this, beans don't need too much fertilizer and it is best applied well before sowing. For this reason beans are often grown in rotation, following salad greens or other greedy crops.
Beans are best grown from seed. Plants are often sold as seedlings, however they resent disturbance and never perform well after transplanting. Save your money and enjoy growing your beans from scratch – it's a lot more fun.
As is generally recommended, I soak the seed for a few hours prior to sowing, which seems to ensure almost instant germination. Seeds are sown approximately 5cm (2inches) deep and 200 to 300mm (8 to 12 inches) apart for bush and 300 to 600 mm (1 to 2 feet) apart for climbing beans, depending on the cultivars grown and available space. Sowing two seeds per hole and removing the least vigorous plant is often recommended. However I find I get almost 100% germination and tend to sow a second seed in empty spaces, if this is warranted.
Once plants are growing vigorously, mulch the area, keeping the mulch away from the base of each plant.
Ongoing maintenance involves occasional applications of organic liquid fertilisers during the growing season, regular watering during dry periods and directing climbing shoots where necessary. I have had little problem with pests and diseases and believe in growing healthy vigorous plants and producing a healthy soil. I take care to avoid using chemicals which may harm beneficial insects and drip down into the soil harming essential soil organisms. To control pests I undertake a daily morning inspections while the air is cool and harmful insects are torpid and readily caught.
At the end of the season, as plants decline and the last pods are picked, cut plants at their base and remove them to the compost bin. Retain the nodulated root system in the soil, to allow it to break down and release nitrogen into the soil.
Saving seed
Bean seeds are some of the easiest to save. Often it happens by accident – you always miss a few pods. The great thing about beans is that they are self-pollinating and this occurs before the flowers open. Hence you can grow several varieties of beans together in a small space and still retain the original strains. Due to this, we can often track beans grown today back to those cultivars being grown in Europe, the USA or Central and South America a century or more ago.
The other great thing about seed saving is that you can select seeds each season from your most vigorous climbers or bushes and develop a strain that is best suited to your climate, resistant to local pests or diseases, performs under your growing conditions or has the best flavor or ornamental characteristics.
Beans have a short viability (3 to 5 years), so are best dried in a dry cool airy location before storing – preferably in a refrigerator, or if thoroughly dried, the freezer. I generally keep a few seeds from at least 3 separate seasons to provide some security. Consequently there is less and less room in the fridge for food. It's a good thing that there are vegetables in the garden and that they can be harvested as needed.
In the ornamental garden
Beans can be ornamental features in the vegetable garden. Their lush growth, and varied coloured flowers or pods add interest. Many purple cultivars have a purplish cast to the leaf or stem. While most cultivars produce pods which may be hidden among the leaves, there are some which have been bed to display their beans above the foliage, for example, the bush bean 'Purple Teepee'.
These days vegetable gardens are often located near to the house and gardeners take great pride in them. Vertical structures such teepees or conical frames can add interest in this landscape, can provide repetition along a path or can be designed to create archways or shelters. Climbing beans make great plants for growing up these structures as they are not too vigorous and generally look lush and well presented.
Make sure the structures you use are strong enough to support the plants. It is worth spending some time planning and building the structures as they can be recycled and reused again and again. Climbing beans can also be trained up trellis or wires along fences to provide a pleasant backdrop.
Intercropping can also be done while climbing beans are young, using fast growing crops such as radish or rocket at their base.

So for readers in cooler climates, start planning for your spring bean crops. Those in the colder parts of the southern hemisphere have many months to sit by the fire and leaf through catalogues. However gardeners in the warmer areas of Australia will need to get a move on. The temperatures are cooling and the ground is still moist. Prepare the beds and start building your frames. Over the next few weeks it will be time to plant those bean seeds and then to enjoy the delicious crops these prolific plants produce.

JUROR'S SELECTION: Eileen Kennedy
Tax lawyer-turned-photographer, Eileen Kennedy takes photographs that ask questions about life outside the office. Her series Beyond Success depicts her husband as he prepares to retire from decades of working in law. The resulting images analyze her husband's condition with an intimacy and immediacy representative of their enduring relationship.
In an excerpt from Kennedy's artist statement, she describes the threefold-relationship between herself, her husband, and her camera:
As a spouse, I try to probe, listen and empathize. As an artist, my challenge has been to give visual expression to this tension. My working method varies. At times I have used a straight documentary approach, recording the moment or capturing the routine that may soon disappear. At other times, I take a more narrative approach, staging a situation that, although fictitious, is grounded in honest emotions. In both cases, I use the details of an individual life to evoke what I see as a quandary that many of our contemporaries (fifty-and-sixty-somethings) are facing.
This "contemporary what-to-do-with-my-life quandary" is something Kennedy faced subsequent to her own retirement from law. Photography has given her the ability to ask questions and, more appropriately, it has provided her with an outlet through which to analyze her life and the lives of those around her.
