The 22-year-old pitched well Friday night in his second start for Triple-A Charlotte, beating highly touted Baltimore prospect Jake Arrieta. He did so with two of Ken Williams' top Chicago-based assistants evaluating his demeanor and stuff from behind home plate. Assistant general manager Rick Hahn and director of baseball operations Dan Fabian seem certain to report that Hudson is an option worth considering if Jose Contreras continues to falter as Ozzie Guillen's fourth starter. … Hudson's fastball was 91-92 m.p.h. Friday night, a bit lower than it has been at times. His slider and changeup were sharp, and he showed poise after five of the first nine Norfolk hitters reached base against him. Hahn likened him to a cross between Gavin Floyd and the Angels' Jered Weaver.

Eddinger Command Chaplain, Joint Task Force Guantanamo4http://www.jtfgtmo.southcom.mil/xwebsite/index.html ommandCCorner Have you stood on Windmill or Pebble Beach and looked to the south, out and over the ocean? Of course you have. What did you see? Probably waves, white caps or a calm, serene surface. Have you gone snorkeling or diving out there? What did you see? The sea is full of coral, beautiful plants, exotic looking fish and some really strange looking creatures like sea urchins and jellyfish. However, the flat surface of the ocean you see from the beaches hides an ominous side. Currents and undertow mercilessly stir plants, animals and divers around like a rag in a washing machine. Winds push up waves that roll in and pound the shore. Ive been a victim of those waves and came out bloody on three occasions. The ocean hides extraordinary geographical features too. The next time you visit the MWR marina, look at the ocean depth chart on the wall to the right of the entrance. Just two miles off the coast is a deep trench running east-towest. This trench, a transform or strike-slip fault, is where the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates meet. There is a point out from the Guantanamo lighthouse that is 2,048-meters deep that converts to more than 1 1/4 miles! If you continue none miles out from shore, the ocean is more than three miles deep! Ive heard many divers talk about going to the edge of the abyss, the place where the bottom of the ocean drops off quickly. It is amazing what the Atlantic Ocean conceals near the beaches of GTMO. Have you ever wondered why a person acts or reacts the way they do? A persons actions or reactions are based upon the sum of their experiences and of what they have learned to be socially acceptable behavior. It is more complex than just how one feels at the moment. As humans, we hide much of what makes us tick. In that sense, people are much like the ocean here at GTMO. We project a persona that hides much of what is deep inside us. We hide scars, remnants of past experiences, failed relationships or things that have touched us or hurt us. When left suppressed, these can find their way to the surface at unexpected moments, when we are tired or under pressure. In short, peoples actions and behaviors are quite complex. When you see someone in an ill mood, being recluse, anti-social, or who is acting less than friendly, realize that it may be more than a bad day that is eating at them. Take time to offer a word of encouragement and show concern. Get them help from a chaplain or JSMART. It is our responsibility to look out for our fellow Warriors, and make sure they do not fall victim to the turbulent seas both surrounding this island and in our own lives. Not all leaders are created equal. Sometimes you get lucky and receive your guidance from a person who has a strange quality that makes the most absurd, dangerous, difficult or painful task seem somehow more important and rewarding. Other times, you get led by the guy whos just in charge because the organization cant find a more pleasant senior to fill the slot. So when I tell you there is distinct difference between a leader and an effective leader; and that understanding the nature of influence is a key factor to becoming the latter, it becomes a more valuable trait to you as a Service member. Im going to do my best to prove that to you in this article, starting first with a definition to provide some context to work with. The Army defines leadership as: Influencing people by providing purpose, direction and motivation w hile operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization. Leadership as a vocation is an act of influence by providing the intents, constraints and incentives that spur people to act. Something else Id like you to notice is that the definition not use rank or position as an aspect of leadership. This is because those terms are not requisites to being a leader. In my brief time in the military, Ive observed a plentitude of good, and well, frankly, terrible leaders. The worst leaders Ive seen always provided the most creative excuses for their shortcomings. My personal favorites among these include chalking inadequacies up to a leadership style. I dont blame them for being inept because I still havent actually met the person who wanted to be a failed leader. Leading others is not the natural vocation of an individual; its something we do out of necessity. Not everyone is comfortable being in charge and not every leader will make a determined effort to improve at it. However, an influential leader always has a plentitude of leadership styles available to him and is able to appropriately apply them to each situation or person they find themselves leading. In the military, we cultivate leadership. Developing leaders at an institutional level is a deliberate process, which takes a great deal of effort. We leave nothing to chance. Military leaders are never generated by accident, fate or destiny; they are the strict result of the scientific study of human behavior combined with the fortuitous environmental availability of the most virtuous character-defining opportunities mankind can produce. I tell you with utter certainty that good leaders are never simply born; we build them atom-by-atom with the positive and negative examples we deliver them everyday

Influence is the first character trait we seek to instill in leaders, because it is the most practical and useful tool to arm our Service members with. It is a kind of power, much like authority. However, unlike authority, which always has tangible limitations, influence is conceptual and therefore by its very nature, more prolific. This is why we must meter this power with a morally sound sense of responsibility. Now I made an unsubstantiated statement about influence being the trait of leadership we focus on first in the military. Im going to resolve that by giving you an example from the Armys rank structure. For the other services clarification, in the Army, there are two ranks for the pay grade of E-4: specialist and corporal. Im certain this must be confusing at times. The most important and obvious difference is a corporal is a noncommissioned officer and has the duties and authority greater as such. That shouldnt suggest that there are less expectations from a specialist in the eyes of their leadership. After all, they are no longer a private and they wont be afforded the same level of patience and understanding if they in engage in the shenanigans and tomfoolery we typically see in those early probationary ranks. However, they arent yet NCOs either, so its somewhat difficult for senior leaders to assign responsibility with confidence because they simply do not wield significant general authority. You might wonder why we bother with the rank altogether. I personally believe that when the Army eliminated technical grades from the rank structure, it redesigned the specialist rank to become a transition in career responsibilities for the Soldier. The entire focus of that rank is now to acquire the tools youll need to become an NCO. We expect specialists to start performing at the level of the next rank and also behave like a sergeant. To train specialists how to do this appropriately, we often place them in charge of troops, and make them responsible for additional duties or details. If youve ever been a specialist, you recognize the punch line of this joke, because you realize that the specialist in charge doesnt actually wield much (if any) tangible general authority over his peers except the threat of the NCO they answer to. Yes specialists, we put you in that awful situation on purpose and we think its hilarious. Of course, it would be simpler to get things done if you could just order people around and make them follow your guidance, or else! However, that doesnt teach you anything about leadership and it wont get you promoted. Ill let you in on a secret though, one that will make it much more manageable if you can cope with the truth of it. Using the authority provided by rank is always the first inclination of a weak NCO and the last recourse of a strong one. You dont really need the rank to get things done; you just need to learn how to influence your peers to do what needs be accomplished. For your sake and theirs. I have a phobia about teaching those around me how to wield the awesome power of influence. Im obligated to do so as a trainer and mentor, but there are consequences to empowering the wrong person with this knowledge. In mastering its use, your organizational impact expands and you begin to do something very special you inspire. To inspire someone is a kind of magic. You can spin a spell that directs the desires of your peers, subordinates, and even superiors alike. Win their hearts and you can orchestrate change that elevates the very caliber of all those around you. However, with the same mastery, a leader who inspires can manipulate such change with poisonous intent that it ruins all those whom they come across. Its serious business and needs to be respected. So how do you learn how to use influence you ask? As it turns out, all the answers are in the books. Know your troops. Take that to another level, and make the effort to know your leaders and your peers too. When you understand the desires and aspirations of the men and women who surround you, you can put them on a path to it. When you know what they believe and how they rationalize it you can reach them and demonstrate how the mission is relevant to them. When you appreciate what they love and fear you gain insight to factors powerful enough to change their very nature. Thanks for your time everyone, and thank you all for your service. Its a privilege to be on this rock with you, and Im proud to be a part of your team.
http://www.jtfgtmo.southcom.mil/xwebsite/index.html6 Professional baseball legend Randy Johnson, who pitched 22 seasons in the majors, visited Joint Task Force Guantanamo Troopers Oct. 20. The visit was sponsored by USO and GTMOs Morale, Welfare and Recreation office. Johnson signed photos, baseballs and anything fans brought to him during meet and greets at JTF-GTMOs Seaside Galley and NAVSTAs Cooper Field Sports Complex. Many fans were appreciative of his time. It makes me feel great that people from the states, even people like Randy Johnson, take the time to show their support for what we are doing here, said Spc. Luis Torres, military police, 613th Military Police Company. Its an honor to know that he cares enough to donate his time for us, he said. Torres said he was a fan of the Big Unit, who measures in at 6-foot-10-inches tall, throughout his entire baseball career which spanned six teams over a decade. I am a big fan of his, and I remember watching him play with the Seattle Mariners and then the Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks, Torres said. To be able to meet him is a great feeling after watching him play for so many years in the majors. Johnson was the seventh left-handed pitcher to reach 300 wins, and at age 46, was the second oldest player in Major League Baseball in September 2009 when he played for the San Francisco Giants. He officially announced his retirement in 2010, and he told fans at the meet and greet, it was shortly after that announcement he was approached by USO to visit Service members deployed around the world. Im grateful to be able to give back to the men and women who serve our country and the families they often leave behind, said Johnson. The many fans that waited in line just to shake his hand were grateful as well. You dont really think that youll be able to see and meet famous people while stationed here at GTMO, said Army Sgt. Alvin Serrano, military police, 613th MP Co., but here he is signing autographs and taking photos with all of us. Several fans line up at Cooper Field Sports several autographs for fans and posed for GTMO meets baseball legend Story and photo by Sgt. Darron Salzer Photo Editor, email@example.com

Coast Guardsman turns to same time, affecting positive change in the life of a stranger can be one of the most rewarding vocations. Although it was rewarding, Taylor said social services didnt pay that well, and in order to be a true role model and make his community better, he needed to better himself too. Joining the Coast Guard however, allowed Taylor to put some money in the bank, round out his resume and broaden his expertise. Now, as a machinery technician with the Port Security Unit 301, there are similarities between the military environment and his experiences in social services. Being a mentor, sometimes you get frustrated and things dont go the way you want it to but in the end, the pros outweigh the cons, said Taylor. Taylor said the one thing that allows him to excel in his field of work, and in uniform, is patience. My personality makes me stronger in terms of what I can deal with, said Taylor. I feel like the military is refining all the traits that Ive acquired through my up-bringing so I can give more to my community. Taylor says he has plans for using his Post 9/11 GI Bill money for obtaining his masters degree in counseling. Story and photo by Sgt. David Bolton Copy Editor, email@example.com I want to do more, I want to be better.In high school, DeWayne Taylor, a Boston, Mass.-born, Brockton, Mass.-raised son of Jamaican immigrants, found his calling for service to his community by volunteering with social service programs. I worked in psych wards, I was a teacher, I helped people at detox programs, I worked with autistic children and adults, juvenile delinquents and such, said Taylor. I was also in the department of children and family. Growing up, Taylor saw a need in his community; a need for change in the lives of the community. That need for change was his opportunity and his compassion for the people in his neighborhood was his driving force. Ive always been very empathetic and very compassionate, said Taylor. I looked around at my surroundings and said ok, I want to do more, I want to be better. Following his initiative, Taylor began working as a teacher at a kindergarten his senior year of college. While working there, he was the only male teacher, which put him in a unique position. According to Taylor, many of the disciplinarian issues were brought to him and he acted as a kind of surrogate father figure, which made a positive change in lives of the children. Parents would come to me and say thank you for being there for my child, said Taylor. Thats the reward I got, seeing how much the kids grew. I can say yes, Im the one that was able affect a change in that environment. Throughout his work the social service fields, Taylor said he has also seen changes in himself in the areas of maturity level, not taking things for granted, and realizing that actions have consequences. The ultimate goals of the tasks he undertakes are to make sure children are provided with the best possible future. Going that extra mile to make a difference in life of a child or stranger can be tedious, unforgiving and thankless work. At the 8http://www.jtfgtmo.southcom.mil/xwebsite/index.html TFROOPER OCUS
The Wire October 259 The top two teams of the first-ever Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Team Golf League teed-off with their best shots and hoped for no mulligans on the greens during the 18-hole championship round Oct. 20 at the Lateral Hazard golf course. Eleven teams began the season nearly three months ago, and each team met once. Based off of our scores during league play, we were placed into brackets as we advanced through the competition, said Army Lt. Col. Mike Shoen, deputy commander, Joint Detention Group, Joint Task Force Guantanamo. We had two ties, two losses and several wins this season. Shoens team won the championship round despite having a substitute stand in for his regular teammate, Army Sgt. Maj. Catherine Farrell, the J3 sergeant major. I wasnt expecting to win, so it feels pretty good, Shoen said. Today we did really well. We shot a 37, and the other team shot a 39. Shoen added that he and Farrell enjoy golf and were often at the course every weekend anyway, and as the league wore on, their skills improved. Golf is probably one of the cheapest MWR activities to do on-island, Shoen laughed. Its a great sport that is not as easy as everyone thinks it is. There is a lot of skill, and that skill diminishes if you are not playing consistently. Regular courses stateside could cost a golfer upwards of $65 or more, but here at GTMO, it is less than half that price and includes club use. The course is 9-holes with two sets of tee boxes for each hole. For the regular GTMO golfers, such as Shoen, he joked the best part of the Lateral Hazard is not knowing where your ball is going to land. For Army Sgt. Andrew Owad, JTF-GTMO, meeting people on the course is what he enjoys most. It was definitely a bonus to meet people from across Guantanamo who had many different skill levels, Owad said. Owad and teammate, Spc. Shawn Heatley, JTF guard force, finished second for the round, but their spirits remained high. There were a lot of good shots today, more for the other team and even though we came in second place, it was nice to lose to some great play, Owad said. They had a great chip-in on the 8th and we had some great tee shots as well, he said. Its nice to see that kind of play on a course like the one here. Shoen said, golf along with other MWR programs is a great way for Troopers to de-stress. Golf is my way of getting away from the office on weekends, he said. If Troopers are not taking advantage of the MWR programs here theyre crazy, because this is definitely one of the key ways to get away from everything and refocus your mind, he said. Owad praised all of the competitors for making the very first doubles golf league a success. Playing with so many different people made scheduling matches a challenge, Owad said, but it seemed like everyone did what they could to make it a very successful season. This was the first golf league of this type ever put on by MWR, and I think that as they do this more and more, youll see the play from competitors continue to get better and better, he said.

The cars are getting faster, lighter and more powerful, and the drivers match their cars momentum with genius talent, seductive chivalry and a foolish desire to outmatch their competition. Lauda and Hunt, who began their rivalry in the Formula Three circuit in the early 1970s, share their animosity through the progression of their Formula One careers. As polar opposites, Lauda relies on intellect, caution and consistency, while Hunt proves himself with a bold, unmatched talent for seeing just how far he can push the limits on and off the race track. Given the upcoming 1976 Formula One World Championship series, the stakes are high and there can be only one true champion. Will it be Lauda or Hunt? Directed by Academy Award-winner Ron Howard, this film delivers on exhilaration and acting performance. Hemsworth and Brhl embody their roles flawlessly, and the racing progressively raises the bar to bring you to the point of teetering on the edge of your seat for the final act. Overall, I am satisfied with the film, but the choice of periodic narration comes off awkward and the 1970s were filled with other songs that better represent that era. If you have a passion for racing like I do, I definitely recommend this film. I give it four banana rats. Prisoners will hold you captiveChildren are taken and their fathers are determined to do whatever it takes to get their loved ones back. Though the abduction plots have been done before, what sets this movie off is Prisoners takes us deeper into the psyches of the frantic parent, holding you captive. Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) steals the show and shows us theres more to his range of rage than just metal claws and bad hair. When his daughter goes missing, the plot thickens more as Dovers patience wears thin with Detective Loki (played masterfully by Jake Gyllenhaal). Whether youre a parent or not, you will see why he takes matters into his own hands with extreme, desperate measures. While the overall acting is good, the power of the film comes from behind the scenes. Oscar-nominated director Denis Villeneuve (Incedies) unravels the plot in his typical methodical and chilling fashion. Not to be outdone, critically-acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins, (No Country for Old Men, Skyfall), creates striking, breathtaking images out of a tragedyladen suburban community. Prisoners should be on your To Do List this week and this Jersey guy gives it four fist-pumping banana rats. Review by Staff Sgt. Richard C. Garcia 812th MP Co., email@example.com by Sgt.

The modern form of socialism emerged in Britain, France and Germany in the 1830s and 1840s and has continued to evolve ever since. Various strands make up the socialist school of thought including voluntary socialists who wished to set up communities where socialism could be put into practice among the members (such as Robert Owen), revolutionary socialism or Marxism which advocated the seizure of political and economic power by force in order to impose nation-wide socialism, and Fabian socialism or parliamentary socialism (or labourism in the British context) where socialist legislation would be gradually passed by means of the parliamentary system (George Bernard Shaw).

Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age is the fifth and last part of The Silmarillion, edited by Christopher Tolkien from his father's later texts. It is relatively short, consisting of about 20 pages.
[edit] Summary
The Elves of Eregion forged many Rings of Power. But Sauron had deceived them, for he made the One Ring for himself, which was the master of the rest.
However Sauron's plan failed: the Elves discovered his plot and discarded their Rings until they could be shielded from his influence. Sauron then waged war upon the Elves. During the war, many Elves were killed and the kingdom in Eregion destroyed. Sauron captured all the Rings of Power except the Three and he gave seven of them to Dwarves and nine to Men. But Sauron feared to assail Lindon as the Men of Númenor aided Gil-galad, the mighty elvenking. Throughout the Black Years or Days of Flight Sauron gathered to him all the evil things of Days of Morgoth. Hundreds of years later, the Men of Númenor decided to capture Sauron to demonstrate their might. As it is described in Akallabêth, Sauron was brought to Númenor as a slave; however, he soon corrupted most Númenóreans, encouraging them to replace their traditional reverence for Ilúvatar with worship of Melkor, Sauron's previous master. Under Sauron's influence, the Númenóreans decided to challenge the Valar by invading Aman. As a result, Númenor was destroyed and sank beneath the waves.
Only a few survivors left Númenor before it was too late, and led by Elendil the Tall and his two sons Isildur and Anárion, they had settled in Middle-earth. They created realms that were governed in Númenórean style: Elendil ruled over Arnor in the North, and Isildur and Anarion ruled together in the great country of Gondor in the South. However, Sauron survived the disaster, and although he had lost his fair appearance, both he and his One Ring returned safely to his stronghold of old in the land of Mordor.
Years passed, and Sauron, who had renewed his might, decided to attack the new realms while they were still weak. His onslaught failed, however, Elendil, his sons, and the Elven kings fought back. For many years the great coalition (The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, as it became known) besieged Mordor. At last the host broke through to Sauron's fortress Barad-dûr. Gil-galad and Elendil wrestled with Sauron and were slain; however, they managed to defeat Sauron. Isildur, Elendil's son approached Sauron's body and cut off his finger with the One Ring. In vain Elrond and Círdan tried to convince Isildur to destroy the ring in the fire of Mount Doom where it was made. But Isildur took it for his own and declared that it was his and his folk's, a consolation after the enormous loss of the war (besides the death of Elendil, his father, another of those who perished was his brother Anárion, who was killed during the siege of Barad-dûr). Thus began the Third Age of Middle-earth.
Isildur himself died soon in a sudden ambush by a band of Orcs near Gladden Fields, and the Ring that had betrayed him was lost in the great river Anduin. Heirs of royal blood were chosen to lead Arnor and Gondor. For a millennium, both realms enjoyed relative freedom and prosperity. However afterwards, Arnor became subject to attacks from the north-eastern kingdom of Angmar. More and more people fled from the North, and although Angmar was defeated by the beginning of the third millennium of Third Age, Arnor was no more. Its people were scattered, and its royalty decreased in number and fame; however they remained true to their Númenórean descent. They became the Rangers of the North, protecting the paths of the North from the menace that came from the East.
As for Gondor, it prospered for much of the Third Age. However in the beginning of its third millennium, this began to change. Gondor was assailed by Orcs and Men from the nearby Mordor. For a long time, no one suspected that the same force that had driven the attacks upon Arnor was now fighting Gondor.
A thousand years earlier, several Wizards had come to the land: Saruman, Radagast, Gandalf, and two Blue Wizards. Although it was unknown to the peoples of Middle-earth, they were emissaries from the West, sent on behalf of the Valar to help them obtain their freedom. For many centuries they were silent, and little was done by them apart from observation and counsel. However as the times darkened, they decided to take action against a mysterious dark force which seemed to dwell in the fortress of Dol Guldur amidst the forest of Mirkwood. During the attack, the force fled to Mordor and was revealed as Sauron, who was thought to have perished. And in the same year, the One Ring was found.
Sauron made war on Middle-earth again, but Frodo the Hobbit went to Mount Doom and destroyed the Ring, defeating Sauron. After this, it was made clear that Gandalf bore the Red Ring, Narya.
[edit] History of composition
The work is a historical essay dealing with the preamble to the events described in The Lord of the Rings, and the events themselves, in the style of The Silmarillion. The fact that those events are explored in a mere handful of pages suggests that if the events described in the rest of The Silmarillion had been written in the style of The Lord of the Rings they would have filled hundreds of volumes.
After Tolkien's death in 1973, Christopher Tolkien completed this part, assisted by Guy Gavriel Kay. '"Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age" bears some similarities to Elrond's narrative in The Fellowship of the Ring during the chapter "The Council of Elrond". Both do not divulge any details about how Arnor was destroyed and how Gondor became kingless. The closeness is perhaps intentional; as Elrond told the Second and Third Age through his eyes, the Silmarillion is supposed to be told through the point of the view of the Eldar.

New Delhi (AFP) - Doctors in India have removed the skeleton of a foetus that had been inside a woman for 36 years in what is believed to be the world's longest ectopic pregnancy, a doctor has said.
The 60-year-old woman became pregnant at the age of 24 but suffered a miscarriage because the foetus had been growing outside of her uterus, the doctor told AFP on Monday.
The woman, from a poor rural area of central India, was "terrified" of having surgery at the time to remove the remains of the foetus, and instead sought medication for the pain at a local clinic.
Although the pain gradually subsided, it returned years later, forcing the woman to seek medical help in a city hospital, Murtaza Akhtar said.
"She came to us complaining of pain in the abdomen," said Akhtar, head of surgery at the N.K.P. Salve Institute of Medical Sciences in the city of Nagpur.
"This is a case in which the woman got pregnant outside the uterus. She told us she was pregnant in 1978 and it was a mature pregnancy," he said.
Doctors felt a lump on her lower right abdomen and feared it could be cancer -- but further tests and scans revealed a calcified mass.
"Once we saw the scans, our first reaction was 'what are we dealing with'? It was actually a matured skeleton encapsulated in a calcified sac," Akhtar said.
"A 60-year-old woman with a foetus lying in her abdomen for 36 years is a medical marvel. It's something we had never heard about."
The doctors searched medical literature and discovered a woman in Belgium who had retained the remains of a foetus for 18 years following an ectopic pregnancy, the longest they could find on record.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes.
A team of doctors in Nagpur successfully performed surgery to remove the mass that was lodged between the woman's uterus, intestines and bladder.
Skeletal remains that were removed are seen in video footage laid out on a hospital bed, and include numerous parts of a rib cage, leg and arm bones and sections of a skull, spine and pelvis.
"She was shocked when she first got to know what had happened. But she is fine now and is recuperating," Akhtar said.
The footage shows the grey-haired woman, who has declined to speak with media, resting comfortably on a hospital bed, and being examined by her team of doctors.
"As far as this case is concerned, it's the rarest of rare cases and very difficult to believe," Akhtar said.

With Whitney Houston's death weighing heavily on the minds of the musicians at Sunday's Grammy awards, presenters and performers honored the fallen diva's memory but also celebrated the year's best music, just as they believed Houston would have wanted.
And while there were exuberant performances -- including a beautiful comeback by the night's top winner, Adele -- that shifted the mood from somber to lively, it was Jennifer Hudson's stunning performance of Houston's hit "I Will Always Love You" that the audience at Los Angeles' Staples Center likely will always remember.
Standing before a single photo of Houston -- who died unexpectedly Saturday -- Hudson finessed and bellowed Houston' most popular song, appearing on the verge of tears but keeping composure and honoring the woman who had awarded Hudson a Grammy in 2009.
U.S. & World
She turned and threw a kiss to the portrait of Houston -- then joined by photos of all the other recording stars who died in the past year -- while the audience wildly applauded.
Anticipation over tributes such as Hudson's likely helped make the Grammys broadcast on CBS a huge audience draw. An estimated 39 million viewers watched the show, a 41 percent leap over last year's show and the biggest tune-in since 1984, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
But viewers also were likley eager to see people such as British singer Adele, who performed for the first time in public since vocal surgery. She sang a by-all-accounts wonderful version of "Rolling in the Deep," her hit song about a bad break-up. She was the night's highest-profile winner, taking home six awards (including Record of the Year for for "Rolling in the Deep" and Album of the Year for "21") and making several charmingly spontaneous speeches.
Her award tally was almost bested by rockers Foo Fighters, who took home five awards, performed three times during the night and made a memorable speech about the joy of making raw music outside a studio.
Somehow, though, the awards seemed a bit beside the point on a night that was more about putting on an awesome concert.
As in many recent Grammy shows, many of the performances were about pairing against type.
In a much-anticipated reunion, the Beach Boys took the stage to sing "Good Vibrations" with Maroon 5 and Foster the People at their side, proving they still can create heavenly harmonies. Rihanna, in high-waisted leather shorts and a belly chain across her enviably flat belly, gave an electrifying performance of "We Found Love" and then took it down a notch to sing "Princess of China" with Coldplay's Chris Martin.
Bonnie Raitt and Alicia Keys sang a duet tribute to Etta James, who also recently passed away. The Band Perry and Blake Shelton sang with Glenn Campbell.
Then there were the solo performances: Katy Perry in blue hair and what appeared to be a bit of post-Russell Brand bitterness sang her new song, "Part of Me." The Foo Fighters rocked a crowd outside the Staples Center with "Walk," for which they later won Best Rock Performance. Chris Brown performed twice and danced up a storm.
Throw in performances by Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj (don't ask, something about exorcism), and it was the kind of night when even stalwarts like Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney managed to get overshadowed – even with a big-time finale of Springsteen, McCartney and Foo Fighters playing an "Abbey Road" medley.
Who actually won awards in between all the music? Some highlights:
- Kanye West and new dad Jay-Z won Best Rap Performance for "Otis" but didn't show up to receive it.
- Kanye also won Best Rap Album for "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and two awards for his song "All of the Lights."
- Cute college professor-like Bon Iver took Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album.
- Cee Lo Green took Best R&B song for "Fool for You."
Keeping it all together was host LL Cool J, who set the tone for fun despite the sad context of Houston's unexpected death just a day before.
"Although she is gone too soon, we remain truly blessed to have been touched by her beautiful spirit," he said, leading the audience in an opening prayer. "And to have her lasting legacy of music to cherish and share forever.
"That said, welcome to the 54th Grammy Awards. This is music's biggest night to celebrate and remember."
With a brief clip of Houston singing her biggest hit, "I Will Always Love You," the show got underway, with seemingly as much energy and drama as any other major award show.
And a glance at the audience proved it was, indeed, business as usual: Nicki Minaj watched the show in a bizarre Red Riding Hood-like outfit, Lady Gaga was encased in netting and Fergie showed off her black underwear with a lace Versace dress – all just what you'd expect.

Pizza Obsessives: Kenny Dunn, Slice Rome Contributor
Slice interviews with folks who are mad about pizza.
This week we're getting Kenny Dunn from Rome into the Slice hot seat. Let's get to know this Philly native turned Rome tour guide a little better with the hard hitting questions. —MS
Name: Kenny Dunn
Location: Rome, Italy
URL(s): Twitter @RomeFoodTours; seriouseats.com/Kenny Dunn
What type of pizza do you prefer?
After moving from Philly to NYC in 1999 and tasting Joe's Pizza right off Bleecker I was convinced that no other pizza would ever taste that good. Joe's was my gold standard for what a pizza should taste like. Then in 2008 on a hot, summer evening I walked into Di Matteo in Naples and my world-view was shattered. The Margherita I ate that night was so much better than anything I had ever tasted. All those glorious, late nights at Joe's Pizza were suddenly faded memories. Don't get me wrong when I am back in NYC I love heading to all my old pizza joints but I hope my last pie on earth comes out of an oven in Naples preferably the one at Di Matteo.
The Pizza Cognition Theory states that "the first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes ... becomes, for him, pizza." Do you remember your first slice? Where was it from, is the place still around, and if so, does it hold up? On that note, has your taste in pizza evolved over time?
Growing up outside of Philadelphia, my first slice was at Nick's Pizza, one of several strip center pizza joints in the area that I'm proud to say is still serving up pizza to little leaguers from the neighborhood today. When I first tasted pizza, for some reason I decided that it was better without the cheese, so I started this strange ritual of peeling it all off before eating it. Well nobody wants to hang out with the weird kid that takes the cheese off the pizza, so I was picked on at all the birthday parties (it was obligatory to serve pizza at every single birthday party) not only by the other kids, but also by their mothers. Other parents began to question the kind of household I was being raised in that would encourage such behavior. In hindsight I should have mocked them all for not knowing about the locally loved Tomato Pie, but sadly neither did I at seven years old. In the last years of elementary school I began to broaden my horizons—that included leaving the cheese on the pizza—a habit that fortunately has stuck. Today I really love all genres of pizza,including returning to my roots and ordering a slice at Nick's and peeling off the thick layer of cheese just for old times' sake.
Speaking of ways you like to modify your pizza, what's your favorite topping or topping combination?
Kind of depends on the style of the pie. Locally in Rome, my topping of choice on thin crust Roman style pizza is mushrooms with proscuitto. Here, only fresh mushrooms are used, which is why I love this combo so much. If the pizzerias began using canned mushrooms instead, I would find a new favorite topping.
Those that caught your first post might have an insight into this next one, but where do you go for pizza in your area?
In my neighborhood Testaccio in Rome there are two places where I eat at all the time. One is Pizzeria da Remo which makes cracker-thin, charred, Roman-style pizza—arguably the best in the city. The other is 00100 Pizza for pizza by the slice featuring some wicked combinations like the Greenwich.
Since you own a food tour company, is pizza included on the tours?
Sadly, the answer is no which has everything to do with store hours and location and nothing to do with my feeling about pizza. For the next tour route Pizza is a must!
Do you make pizza at home? If so, how? What recipes do you use?
Most of my DIY pizza making occurred in Hawaii while living illegally in a tent in a state park called Kalalau on the island of Kauai. Some local outlaws there taught me how to bake pies on an open fire in between two, stacked 16-inch cast iron pans—with one covering the other. To emulate the convection effect they would leave only the hot coals underneath the lower pan and light a small fire on top of the upper pan thus creating a difference in temperature. To make the pizza we would allow the dough to rise in buckets for at least 24 hours. The sauce was made from scratch with fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions and basil, and on occasion avocados were used to add creaminess (milk or cream was not available for obvious reasons). Mozzarella never was around so we would top the pies with provolone, munster, and sometimes cheddar. The whole thing would usually cook to perfection in less than 25 minutes, but getting the temperature right was always the trickiest part.
As for making pizza in a traditional oven, I have yet to enter into that, but I am happy to say it has for the third consecutive year topped my new year's resolution list.
What one thing should NEVER go on a pizza?
To me it comes down to the kind of pizza your topping. Here in Rome, there is a place that I love that does a Mexican pizza with black beans and onions. I don't have a problem with beans on pizza necessarily, but there are basic principles of physics that need to respected when constructing a pizza, especially when it's super thin Roman style. Sadly, their crust cannot support the weight and ooze of the beans and so it turns into just a soggy mess. For me it depends more on the construction of the pie than on the individual kind of topping.
So would that also count as the weirdest pizza you've encountered?
In Colombia I once had a pie with plantains and onions. I wouldn't say it was my favorite, but I was thrilled to add it to my un-published, un-written pizza memoir.
Wow! Hawaii, Colombia, Rome—you're a pizza globe trotter. What's the farthest you've travelled for the express purpose of eating pizza?
The farthest I have traveled to just eat pizza and then drive back home was from Rome to Di Matteo in Naples which was about 5 hours round trip and worth every minute.
What do your family and/or friends think of your pizza madness?
Depends on whom you ask. My wife is as happy as I am eating pizza on a daily basis, especially since we moved form DC to Rome (the marriage would have lasted less than a year had that not been the case). Many of my friends share the same passion I do for eating good pizza, but my parents seem to think all this pizza talk is a bit "excessive". My pizza eating habits have been haunting them my entire life.
Ok, your turn. What question would you ask you?
Having lived in Hawaii are you a fan of the Hawaiian Pizza?
As a matter of fact I am. Something about that sweet and salty combination gets me every time. The Hawaiian pizza is the runaway favorite pie in Colombia, so I kind of grew to appreciate it while I was living there. Strangely, in Hawaii I don't remember ever eating or making a pizza with ham or even Spam and pineapple. That could be an interesting story to investigate—whether there is actually Hawaiian Pizza in Hawaii? If so who invented it? And why the hell is it so popular in Colombia???
Anything you'd like to get off your chest?
My most Zen pizza moment would have been on my first night in NYC. Empty apartment- no furniture, no stereo, no refrigerator, no computer, and no television. I am sitting alone out on my fire escape holding two white, paper plates on top of each one is a perfectly triangular, plain slice from Joe's Pizza. This was life stripped down to its bare essentials. I believe some also call that nirvana.
Who would *you* like to see interviewed next?
John Tacconelli from the Tacconelli's in Port Richmond in Philadelphia. It was my first taste of a white pie with spinach from Tacconelli's that got me over my early cheese issues and saved me from a lifetime of bullying. Getting inside the mind of one of Philly's greatest pizzaioli would be a fascinating read.
Hey, nice call! Tacconelli's is in need of some coverage around here. Thanks for sitting in the hot seat, Kenny! I think I can speak for everyone when I say wer are definitely looking forward to more Roman pizza insights from you.

Help! Stuff snuffs great potential
ADDRESS: 2610 Jefferson Park Avenue
SIZE: 2136 fin. sq. ft., 1068 unfin.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Fry's Spring
CURB APPEAL: 7 out of a possible 10
LISTED BY: Pat Burns of ReMax Realty Specialists 760-4715
Marginal properties are sometimes described as "a diamond in the rough." But this property– far from marginal– can more aptly be described as "a diamond in the roughage."
Other clichés come to mind: One might say the house is hiding its light under a bushel. Here's another: "Can't see the forest for the... "
One thing, however, that cannot be said about this house is "what you see is what you get." What you see here is about ten times what you get. And that's the problem.
The owners have lived in this big sturdy house for 40 years. Over that time, they've enjoyed the beautiful oak woodwork, the classy French doors leading from the entrance hall to the living room, the wide stairway leading to a big upstairs landing/hall, the glass-front cabinets in the kitchen, and the big basement with lots of room for storage.
Uh-oh. Too much enjoyment going on down there. The basement, like almost every inch of the rest of the house– is packed with stuff– packed to the point that it's impossible for all but the most imaginative visitors to see (much less appreciate) the good things about the place.
And there are many good things. For starters, the house– close to shopping at Willoughby just down the road, to Fry's Spring Beach Club and its many amenities just across the street, and the university just a little way up JPA– sits on almost an acre, including a nice fenced backyard with big trees.
A large two-car garage/workshop, complete with its own furnace and separate office, sits tidily beside the house. There's a dandy jalousied back porch for enjoying summer suppers outside without the drone and itch of mosquitoes. And there's a floored dormer-windowed attic for expansion.
Four big bedrooms anchor the corners upstairs, with back-to-back bath/half bath between. (Those bathrooms, as well as another full bath on the first floor and the kitchen, need updating.) There's more closet space than usual in a house of this vintage, as well as a laundry room and pantry.
The wood-burning fireplace works fine, and a graceful built-in oak china closet adds charm to the large dining room. Finally, the large columned front porch provides space for rockers and planters.
One quirky little throw-back to days of yore– in the corner of each stair is a tiny ornate brass plate, put there to prevent dust from collecting. (Try finding one of those in Forest Lakes– or even in Glenmore!)
So why in the months since it was listed last October, during the hottest real estate market in recent memory, has the house not found a buyer? Because there's no equivalent of the stair-corner dust-preventer for flotsam: The house is hidden behind, beneath, between, and betwixt 40 years of accumulated collections.
Another problem is that paneling has been applied over most of the plaster walls (and at the top of the stairs to convert half the second floor into a separate apartment). These two difficulties, however, seem relatively easy to overcome.
The beauty of 2610 JPA, then, will be visible only to the eye of beholders with imagination. But the closer look will be rewarded– a diamond is waiting to emerge.

COTA Launches Late Night Bus Service on West Broad Street
The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) continues to add new service late into the weekend hours with the introduction of a new late night route on West Broad Street. Route number #222 is a new bus line launching tonight that connects Downtown Columbus with the Columbus Hollywood Casino from 7pm to 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. (CLICK HERE to view a PDF of the #222 Bus Schedule).
Leadership at COTA worked with officials at the Hollywood Casino to identify transit service that would benefit employees at the casino and also provide enhanced services for casino visitors. During the daytime, COTA operates four lines that service the west side area near the casino — routes #3, #6, #10 and #53.
"Customers routinely request more late night COTA service and we saw the employment opportunities coupled with the entertainment aspect as a way to replicate our Night Owl service in another part of the community," said Marty Stutz, Vice President of Communications, Marketing and Customer Service at COTA. "From a planning perspective, the casino location serves as a good anchor for the end of a bus line, and West Broad Street is a busy transit corridor."
COTA launched the #21 Night Owl route in 2009 servicing North High Street from Clintonville to Downtown Columbus during similar late night weekend timeframes. The service was originally targeted at Ohio State University students, but it proved popular enough to warrant expansion in 2010 and now continues on South High Street to German Village and the Brewery District.
"Increasingly we're seeing more non-students riding including people who live along the High Street corridor getting to and from jobs or using it for recreation," said Stutz. "For instance, Downtown or Victorian Village residents may take the Night Owl to events at the Wexner Center, and Clintonville residents may ride to movies at the South Campus Gateway."
Similarly, while the new #222 service is being launched with casino visitors and employees in mind, Stutz expects to see a combination of vistors staying at Downtown hotels riding to the casino as well as other west side residents using it to travel to other destinations. Routes #21 and #222 have a transfer connection point at the Nationwide and High bus stops.
Beyond the #222, additional late night service could be launched if public demand warrants it. COTA is hosting the first of three Short-Range Transit Plan Update (SRTP) meetings where they will engage the public on the future needs of the community.
"It's really a decision that will be made after we have a greater understanding of our customers' needs balanced with the financial resources needed to add late night service," says Stutz.
If you're unable to attend the meetings, you can still provide feedback through this online form on COTA's website.

A batch of new images featuring a battered and bruised Ryan Gosling in director Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives has gone online. Gosling stars as a man who's been living in exile in Bangkok for the past ten years after killing a cop. He manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation and finds himself in hot water after his brother is killed for murdering a prostitute. The boys' mother arrives in Bangkok to collect her son's body and instructs Gosling to take revenge and "raise hell." For fans of Gosling and Refn's previous collaboration, Drive, this premise should induce a fair amount of anticipation.
The images show a beat-up Gosling pulling off "battered dapper" in his suit, but some footage was shown at the Cannes Film Festival last week and we've got a brief description of what went down as well. Hit the jump to check out the images and footage description.
First we'll get to the footage. Quint over at AICN notes that while Only God Forgives isn't a sequel to Drive, "it feels like a shared universe." He continued:
"There are a few Drive touchstones in the footage: long tracking shots, liberal use of neon lighting (in this case purple and green) and a silent, but violent Ryan Gosling. The footage opened with a long dolly shot down a dark and exotic hallway, overlaid with titles in a foreign language I'm pretty sure was Thai."
Quint goes on to describe in detail the footage they saw, including Gosling sticking his hand in a guy's mouth and dragging him down a hall by his jaw. Refn himself described the project as a thriller produced as a Western set in the Far East, with a modern cowboy hero. An interesting mash-up of genres to be sure, but it sounds like we're in for another brutal Gosling/Refn team up and I couldn't be more excited.

I was at my friend's house recently and saw a beautiful dusky pink embroidered satin fabric folded neatly on her kitchen side that made me stop whatever I was yapping about and exclaim "I love that!". My friend unfolded this beautiful kimono in its full glory and I've hankered after it ever since.
Based on a 1920s Japanese design, Lunn Antiques have brought it back to life.
Available in a short or longer length for £58 or £63.
I'm very lucky that my generous friend has satisfied my hanker and given me one as a gift! I just need some fluffy pink mules to set it off with now.

RavenSword: The Fallen King. Coming Soon to iPhone (and iPod touch).
Like RPGs? In association with Human Powered Games and Cresent Moon Games, iPhone publisher Chillingo are announcing they will soon be bringing RavenSword: The Fallen King to iPhone (and iPod touch).
Similar to previous titles including: Assassin's Creed, Hero of Sparta and Dungeon Hunter (to name just a few), RavenSword: The Fallen King is another fully-immersive 3D role playing-like adventure, set in the sunny times of damsels-in-distress and knights-in-shining-armor.
In Chillingo's words:
"Controls are similar to most of the other 3D games, Hero of Sparta and Assassin's Creed. The big difference with RavenSword – The Fallen King is that is has tilt look up and down, and it has First Person Mode. There's also a recalibrate button right at the top right just in case you change positions while playing (standing or sitting) .."
The game also has some pretty trippy concept art. Check that out below!
According to Josh Presseisen of Crescent Moon Games, we can expect "a cross between an adventure game and an RPG", comparing the game to the likes of Oblivion and Zelda.
Gameplay Footage
More hi-res concept artwork and screenshots can be found over at the official game site. It is worth noting that the site states the game will work best on the new iPhone 3GS, but presumably the title will still be available for all iPhone models.
Look out for RavenSword: The Fallen King dropping for iPhone (and iPod touch). Fall 2009.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all. May all be safe.
We will be out of town. Gumshoe will be driving. I'll go to work Monday and Tuesday. We'll drive out Wednesday. Hotel reservations have been made. I've picked a parish for Thanksgiving Day mass. We'll just pick up plates at Luby's. We'll be busy the next few days preparing for the trip.

I went to spiritual direction today. Except that my appointment is for tomorrow. But the SD generously took me in. Imagine her surprise when I called enroute to say that I would be late. So it turns out that I wasn't late, but rather a whole day early.

a surmise
The CDP's had a discernment meeting Monday. I sorta crashed it. It's not an official crash, since I was invited. But they and I know that I am not participating in the discerning. It's been a long time since I've visited with them and I took this as an opportunity to see them again. They're really cool folks. I owe them much. They launched my discernment, walking with me from the time my only vocabulary was "nun," and I was star-struck in the presence of "nuns," and religious life was pure mystery. So see, had they been "uncool," my whole discernment may have never taken off.
They gave me many "firsts." Unfortunately, they were also my first encounter with inclusive language and were receipients of my shock and vehement protest of the idea. Uh, I think I've mellowed some but it definitely is not for me.
Sitting there on Monday, it occurred to me for the first time why I didn't quite fit with their community. It seems to me that at this time, my sense of God is predominantly cognitive. For the CDP's, the experience of God is more affective (not sure that's the right word). Or should I say they "experience" God while I "think" God.

I had lots of sleep last night. That is kinda weird. But that's not all. I usually don't remember my dreams, but I guess if I get plenty of sleep then I do remember some. In one of the dreams, for whatever reason, we had a beagle in the house. I was playing with it and thinking, "This is great -- a beagle is not too hairy, not too small, just right for hugging. I better not tell Natty, she'd be jealous."
heh heh
Actually my last German Shepherd dog at 90+ pounds was also just right for hugging. He was one fine dog, though not fit for breeding. He had the temperament that I was accustomed to seeing in a GSD--humble and obedient.
The GSD I had before him was not so, this other one, at 60lbs was the smallest GSD I had ever had. He was quite handsome and his face was almost wolf-like with the lighter colored eyes. OK, so maybe he wasn't 100% GSD. That one would fight us tooth and nail. That is definitely NOT the temperament I was used to.

My week: go to work, after work go pick up dinner somewhere, go home, eat, then crash. And shower somewhere in there. Yeah, it means that Gumdrops has had to do more of the house upkeep.
I think I'm recovering. I probably scared the folks at the concert last Sunday as I had two bouts of rather intense, lengthy hacking coughing -- one before it started and one during the reflections given at vespers that preceded the concert. Fortunately, the remainder of the coughing was between the different pieces of music and not as dramatic. I'm sure some folks were thinking, "Oh great, I have to sit next to this coughing machine?"
Monday I attempted mass. Since it always start before I get there, I waited for the first reading to be finished before rushing to a seat. But as soon as I sat down, that hacking cough started. I had to leave, finishing the cough out in the hallway and decided not to return for the day.
Tuesday I went to the dentist. When they first laid me back, I had that hacking cough again. I reassured them that I didn't cough that much. But it was scary as hell to have the doc standing over me with that needle ... now what if the cough sneaks up on me while the needle is in me? Thanks be to God that no coughing ensued after that awful first one and they were able to work on me for almost two hours.
I've been coughing at night. But since I am a talented sleeper, it's on only very few occasions (less than 5 for sure) that it actually disturbed my sleep. It doesn't like me lying down? No problem, I'll sleep sitting up. And when I'm deep asleep, voila, I end up sleeping lying down. This evening, I seem to be relatively free of coughs.
Tomorrow evening we will be attending a Dominican talk. Perhaps all in attendance can be spared of my coughing.
I had managed to rinse off the car after mass on Sunday, and was totally exhausted afterwards. Looky there, it went five days before getting rained on tonight. (This is south Texas, where I put on a sweater when entering a building and I remove the sweater when going outside ... in November, no less. So "washing the car" in November does NOT involve an encounter with snow and ice.)

weekend so far
Saturday, November 03, 2007
I didn't go to work on Friday; went to the doctor instead. He didn't think it was anything infectious. He gave me prescriptions for drainage/congestion and also for some sort of analgesic. I don't think I'll get the stuff; I'll just take what we have here.
My four new tires arrived. Had I not checked the porch we never would have known that they were here. I'm supposed to check them for damage; I haven't gotten to it. We were heading off to the doctor's appointment when I saw them. I moved them to the garage was all. It took forever to get back home from the doctor's office downtown (rush hour traffic on a Friday evening).
This morning (Saturday) we were at mass then went to the movies. We watched "American Gangster" and "Kingdom." It's Gumdrops birthday tomorrow and so this is how Gumdrops wanted to celebrate. Gumdrops loves movies. and beaches. Two movies and now it's evening. At least it's cheaper than going out of town. Geez, gas prices have been steadily climbing. There will be dinner out either tonight or tomorrow night--it's up to Gumdrops. We've a few obligations to take care of this weekend.
Tomorrow it's church and then a voice concert at the seminary (waaaaay across town).
I've a dental appointment to Tuesday and I'd like to keep it. I hope my health gets better. My voice has changed several times over the past several days. I can do stuff that doesn't take much energy (like sit up and watch a movie, or play websudoku :) ), but I won't be willing to do anything that requires some exertion. My airways are clear, but sometimes it seems difficult to breathe.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Region 7 and Contractors Begin Removal of Underground Storage Tank at Former Strehlow Garage in Omaha, Neb.
Release Date: 07/24/2012
Contact Information: Chris Whitley, 816-518-2794 (Blackberry), 913-551-7394 (office), firstname.lastname@example.com
Environmental News
(Kansas City, Kan., July 24, 2012) - EPA Region 7 and its contractors have begun work to remove an underground storage tank from a former automotive garage in Omaha, Neb., as one step of clearing the way for city authorities to redevelop the property as part of a planned $5 million low-income housing project.
The former Strehlow Garage, at 2107 N. 16th Street in Omaha, is currently owned by the Omaha Housing Authority (OHA), which plans to transfer ownership of the property to the Omaha Economic Development Corporation (OEDC) for inclusion in the housing project after the tank removal and related environmental assessment work is completed. The removal work is necessary to allow for the sampling of subsurface soil and groundwater beneath the tank.
Funding for removal of the tank and the other site assessment work, totaling approximately $60,000, is being provided by EPA Region 7's Targeted Brownfields Assessment Program. The program is designed to assist states, tribes and local governments to minimize the uncertainties of contamination often associated with brownfields properties.
Brownfields are those properties, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties protects the environment, reduces blight, and takes development pressures off greenspaces and working lands.
The former Strehlow Garage property was recommended to EPA by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ). NDEQ, along with OHA and OEDC, applied to EPA Region 7 for funding to conduct a dual-phase environmental site assessment. That assessment includes removal of the underground tank, screening the garage building for asbestos, lead and other hazards; and environmental sampling of subsurface soil and groundwater.
EPA Region 7's Storage Tanks and Oil Pollution branch has worked with the region's Targeted Brownfields Assessment Program to prepare for the tank's removal and facilitate with NDEQ when necessary.
Contractors working under the supervision of EPA staff will prepare the site today for the removal of the tank, which is presumed to have stored gasoline, oil or other petroleum products while the automotive garage was in operation. The process of removing the tank and conducting the environmental assessment work at the site should be completed by the end of the week.

For those of ya'll who think I'm afraid of commitment, you read correctly...
I'm going for it.
I have decided to commit myself to a wonderful man.
A commitment I know will so be worth it in the future.
You see, this is what I'm told a normal curve in your neck should look like.
This is what mine looks like.
Thus, I have committed to 3 months with the entire staff at Lindon Family Chiropractic.
For all of you math nerds, you might have deducted this conditional statement:
If deanna has committed to see the chiropractor for 3 months, then she will be staying in Utah. Correct--Deanna will be in Utah for at least a 3 month time period.
