These items were discussed at Monday's Washington Township supervisors meeting.
WAYNE HEIGHTS — These items were discussed at Monday's Washington Township supervisors meeting:
Wellhead and geothermal hearing
A public hearing for two ordinances — one on wellhead protection and a second on geothermal systems — has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4, in the township's meeting room off Welty Road.
During the hearing people will have the opportunity to express their opinions on the two ordinances prior to the supervisors voting to adopt or reject.
The two ordinances, which were developed by the Washington Township Municipal Authority, are designed to protect the township's drinking water supply.
In the wellhead protection ordinance, certain activities — primarily commercial — will be forbidden in zones close to the township's water sources to ensure the water remains clean and uncontaminated.
Bayside Development
The supervisors unanimously voted to accept a waiver for Bayside Development — located on Mentzer Gap Road across from Pine Hill Park — that subdivides the property back into 17 individual residential lots.
According to Mike Christopher, township manager, the development's original owner — a New York-based company — went "belly up" a few years ago during the economic downturn. As a result of this and the township code, Bayside Development's then 17-lots were consolidated into one parcel.
Monday's request was to waive the township code and return the property to individual lots to sell.
"Nothing else is changing," said Christopher.
Supervisors Gladhill, Stephen Kulla, Bill Conrad, Jeff Geesaman and Dick McCracken approved the waiver.
Monterey Lane
Supervisors voted to accept a resolution that returns ownership of a portion of Monterey Lane — from the Blue Ridge Summit fire hall to Charmian Road — from Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to the township.
"In cooperation with the WTMA, the township has been working with PennDOT to put this into play," said Christopher.
The move will allow WTMA to make repairs to the township's sewer main in the area without having to go through significant costs associated with PennDOT inspections and regulations, noted Christopher.

Tusk (2014)
Directed by Kevin SmithGenres - Horror | Sub-Genres - Horror Comedy | Release Date - Sep 19, 2014 (USA) | Run Time - 104 min. | Countries - USA | MPAA Rating - R
Share on
Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
An irreverent American podcaster interviews a Canadian adventurer whose wild tale of survival at sea masks sinister intentions in this twisted horror comedy from writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Red State). Wallace (Justin Long) and Teddy (Haley Joel Osment) are the wisecracking co-hosts of "The Not-See Party", a popular podcast focused on bizarre viral videos and humorous interviews with the internet-famous. The concept is simple - Wallace travels the country conducting outlandish videos, and returns to their make-shift studio to share his stories with Teddy and the listeners. When Wallace ventures to Canada for an interview that falls through at the last minute, he stops at a local bar for a drink and finds a flyer posted by an old adventurer (Michael Parks) who seeks to share his stories with anyone who will listen. Arriving at the old man's secluded estate under the shroud of darkness, Wallace is promptly treated to a hot cup of tea, and a strange tale of being rescued by a walrus following a shipwreck at sea. It all seems like the perfect fodder for an unforgettable podcast -- that is until Wallace blacks out and regains consciousness bound to a wheelchair. Meanwhile, as Teddy and Wallace's girlfriend venture north to investigate his sudden disappearance, the old man subjects his terrified guest to a bizarre medical procedure that will transform more than just his perception of one of the sea's most majestic creatures.

I did actually revisit the Bell Curve discussion earlier this month, thanks to old interview with Charles Murray (such great enunciation!). But that's neither here nor there.
This new Slate series I have been reading is interesting since the writer, William Saletan, is an avowed egalitarian, or as he puts it himself:
I've been soaking my head in each side's computations and arguments. They're incredibly technical. Basically, the debate over the IQ surge is a lot like the debate over the Iraq troop surge, except that the sides are reversed. Here, it's the liberals who are betting on the surge, while the conservatives dismiss it as illogical and doomed. On the one hand, the IQ surge is hugely exciting. If it closes the gap to zero, it moots all the putative evidence of genetic barriers to equality. On the other hand, the case for it is as fragile as the case for the Iraq surge. You hope it pans out, but you can't see why it would, given that none of the complicating factors implied by previous data has been adequately explained or taken into account. Furthermore, to construe meaningful closure of the IQ gap in the last 20 years, you have to do a lot of cherry-picking, inference, and projection. I have a hard time explaining why I should go along with those tactics when it comes to IQ but not when it comes to Iraq.
When I look at all the data, studies, and arguments, I see a prima facie case for partial genetic influence. I don't see conclusive evidence either way in the adoption studies. I don't see closure of the racial IQ gap to single digits. And I see too much data that can't be reconciled with the surge or explained by current environmental theories. I hope the surge surprises me. But in case it doesn't, I want to start thinking about how to be an egalitarian in an age of genetic difference, even between races. More on that tomorrow.

Part 2: Environmental Impact

A new James Bond novel, written by British novelist William Boyd, will be released on September 26, publishers Jonathan Cape have announced.
The book, as yet untitled, is set in 1969 and features a 45-year-old Bond.
"1969. A veteran secret agent. A single mission. A licence to kill. James Bond returns," readers are promised.
The glamorous British spy's creator, Ian Fleming, died in 1964 after writing 14 novels in the Bond series, but other authors have since kept the saga alive and the franchise has now sold more than 100 million books.
The latest two novels were Devil May Care (2008) by Sebastian Faulks and Jeffery Deaver's Carte Blanche in 2011.
This year marks 60 years since Fleming's first Bond novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953.
The announcement of the new book's release date comes on the same day that Skyfall - the 23rd official Bond film, starring Daniel Craig - is released on DVD in Britain.
Skyfall is the first film ever to take STG100 million ($A150 million) at the British box office. Globally, last year's Bond movie has taken more than $US1 billion.
Boyd used Fleming as a character in his book Any Human Heart and has also worked with Bond actors Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and Craig.

|Trachlight Wand Reusable Infant
|Rusch, Inc.
|Trachlight Wand Reusable Infant
| Requires minimal cervical spine manipulation. Prevent dental and soft tissue damage. Used orally or nasally. Cost effective alternative to X-ray. Light-guided intubation is based upon the principle of the soft tissues in the neck. This technique takes advantage of the anterior location of the trachea relative to the esophagus. A well-defined, circumscribed glow can readily be seen in the anterior neck when the endotracheal tube and light enter the glottic opening. If the tip of the tube is placed in the esophagus, the light glow is diffused and will not be easily seen.
The Trachlight Stylet & Tracheal Lightwand was specifically designed to make transillimination safe and effective in patients where endotracheal intubation is needed. Light-guided intubation using the Trachlight is a safe and gentle technique for both oral and nasal ETT placement and positioning. Compared with traditional laryngoscopy, the complication rates can be significantly reduced with Trachlight. Less musocal bleeding. Fewer postoperative sore throats. Reduced hemodynamic response. Research has showh that even in the most challenging patients, light-guided intubation with Trachlight has a 99% success rate with an average time to intubate of less than 25 seconds.

It is that time of year. Television will show, probably twice around Christmas and once on Christmas Eve, Frank Capra's now classic film, "It's a Wonderful Life." When it first appeared in late 1946, the film was not a best-selling standout. It actually initially lost money. Now it is regarded as a kind of annual Christmas treasure. The story, set in Bedford Falls, New York shows George Bailey (played by James Stewart) as deeply troubled. George had sacrificed much of his life to help others, such as, his brother, Harry; his father; his uncle Billy. A near run on his bank is stopped when George and his new wife, Mary, forego their honeymoon and put up $2,000 of their own money to stave off the bank run.
George saves a distraught pharmacist, grieving the loss of his son, from mistakenly putting poison into a prescription. He offers low-cost loans to working families to buy or save their homes. A Scrooge-like villain of the piece, Mr. Henry Potter, tries to buy out George and get greedy control of the town. George resists but, at one crucial point, he loses $8,000 (which Potter has come across, serendipitously, and pockets so he can cause George to fall into bankruptcy.) In near despair, George contemplates suicide until his guardian angel, Clarence, comes to his aid. George had said he had wished he had never been born but Clarence, then, shows him how many people would have been worse off if he had not been born.
The Marin Theater Company in Mill Valley put on an excellent version of this famous movie, which I saw recently as a live radio play. It is worth reflecting a bit on differential reactions to the story. I have friends who would never miss the T.V. version of the film any Christmas. I have other friends who never want to see it again. The original film opened to mixed reviews. Time thought it a pretty wonderful film that had only one rival for the academy award for best film of the year, "The Best Years of Our Life," (which did win the academy award for 1946 films). The New York Times, while complimenting some of the actors, concluded that "the weakness of this picture, from this reviewer's point of view, is the sentimentality of it—its illusory concept of life." Wendell Jamieson, in a 2008 article for The New York Times, pointed out that the film "is a terrifying, asphyxiating story about growing up and relinquishing your dreams; of seeing your father driven to the grave before his time; of living among bitter, small minded people. It is a story of being trapped, of compromise, of watching others move ahead and away and becoming filled with rage."
Why, then, the perennial attraction to this story every Christmas time? "It's A Wonderful Life" rather closely parallels the classic Dickens' tale, "A Christmas Carol." In both stories, a man revisits his life and potential death (or non-existence) with the help of supernatural agents, culminating in a joyous epiphany and a renewed view of his life.
One of the reasons "It's a Wonderful Life" (the movie or the excellent Marin Theater Company play based on it) resonates so deeply with many of us is that we all probably know some semblance of depression, as George Bailey did, at Christmas time. Part of that stems from early socialization when, as children, we came to be told Christmas is only glowing and magical and wonderful. Yet in our often imperfect—even dysfunctional—families and surroundings we know it is not. Many, many people, actually, get quite depressed during the Christmas holidays. Their expectations of perfection are simply and unrealistically way too high.
Like George Bailey, we have to ask ourselves two questions at any Christmas. First, do we have some kind of guardian angel like George's Clarence who watches out for us, even in hard times? We may scoff at the notion of a guardian angel but Jesus did say that "even the hair on our head is numbered." God does have a care for us, in up times as well as in down. Again, like George, we might well try the experiment of asking what life would have been like if we had never been born. George's goodness to others is, in the end, repaid by the townsfolk dipping into their savings to bail him out. Also like George, we may have to proclaim, "It's a Wonderful Life," even if (as they usually are for most of us) not all of our dreams and hopes got fulfilled in life. Goodness and real joy are, usually, only found in the midst of something less than sheer bliss. It is not until George becomes disheartened by his circumstances and considers suicide that he is given a chance to change his perspective—by being shown that the value of a life can be measured in many ways besides money, fame and power.
Let its famous director, Frank Capra, have the last word on what he thought the story of "It's a Wonderful Life" was really about (from a 1971 memoir): "I didn't give a film-clip whether critics hailed or hooted, 'Wonderful Life.' I thought it was the greatest film I ever made. It wasn't made for the oh-so-bored critics or the oh-so-jaded literati. A film to tell the weary, the disheartened, and the disillusioned, the wino, the junkie, the prostitute; those behind prison walls and those behind Iron Curtains that no man is a failure! To show those born slow of foot or slow of mind, those oldest sisters condemned to spinsterhood and those oldest sons condemned to unschooled toil that each man's life touches so many other lives. And that if he isn't around it would leave an awful hole. A film that said to the downtrodden, the pushed around, the pauper: 'Head's Up, fella. No man is poor who has one friend. Three friends and you're filthy rich.' A film that expressed its love for the homeless and the loveless; for her whose cross is heavy and him whose touch is ashes; for the Magdelenes stoned by hypocrites and the afflicted Lazaruses with only dogs to lick their sores. I wanted to shout to the abandoned grandfathers staring vacantly in nursing homes, to the always-interviewed but seldom-adopted orphans, to the paupers —I wanted to shout, 'You are the salt of the earth. And 'It's a Wonderful Life' is my memorial to you."
I had these feelings, too, when watching the radio play version of "It's a Wonderful Life" at the Marin Theater Company. Because, also, the radio play version (based on a play by Joe Landy which premiered at the Stamford, Connecticut playhouse in 1997 and has since been produced to critical acclaim around the country) had a few actors playing multiple parts with ingenious shifts of voice and personality and a symphony of noise in its sound effects, and the story came alive in new ways.
Despite any deferred dreams or dashed hopes in our life, this Christmas we might do well, like George Bailey in the movie and play, to count our friends and blessings and turn to those winos, downtrodden, paupers, homeless, older spinsters, weary, prostitutes, those in prison, the disheartened and disillusioned for whom Capra said he directed the movie. After all, at least for the Christian understanding of Christmas, it was to such that the word was made flesh and entered this disheveled and imperfect world and dwelt among us. The angels said that his coming was " good news." Putting ourselves in that same locale as Jesus came to, we too might look at our imperfect, often flawed lives and yet still be able to proclaim: Despite it all and even in it all, it's a wonderful life!
Thanks, Fr. Coleman, for these reflections on one of my favorite movies. Right now, I feel as if I'm an inhabitant of Pottersville and want to get back to the alternate Bedford Falls universe. Perhaps we should strive harder to be the persons who fill up that hole in the world we're supposed to fill.
It's been a long while since I last saw that movie, but as I remember it's a paean to the close warmth of a small group of people in a small town. Of course, it's a Hollywood paean, which means that it's soppy and superficial, but like a good Norman Rockwell painting, it gets to one immediately, although one is probably embarrassed afterwards.We miss family and the absence of strangers, yet we have no desire to work to get them back. Easy came and easy went.

Heifer International Philippines Assessing Projects Hit by HaiyanLITTLE ROCK, AR
Heifer Disaster Training Credited with Saving Lives
An assessment team from Heifer Philippines made contact with Heifer farmers in Ormoc, Calubian and Leyte reporting no loss of life from project families but significant or complete damage to homes and crops, and loss of livestock. Many families are crediting Heifer's Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) trainings with saving their lives during super typhoon Haiyan.
Susana and Florencio Talle told Heifer Philippines regional manager Rico Locaba they were thankful their family of nine made it through the storm, and said that the outcome may have been different if they had not had the disaster preparedness training.
"We are thankful for the Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction Training Heifer gave us. Our family seriously prepared for the typhoon. It saved our lives," Susana said.
The Talles' home was destroyed by the powerful winds, which made landfall in Eastern Visayas last Friday, but the disaster preparedness training taught them other valuable lessons, which they said they were already applying.
"Thank you for teaching us the value of savings. With our savings we immediately bought nails necessary to fix our home, but we need more to make it sturdier and safer especially for our children," Susana said.
Heifer Philippines pioneered the Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction training four years ago after Heifer identified the exposed island nation as its number one country of concern in terms of natural disasters. Saving money is part of that training, along with securing livestock, water, firewood and feed, harvesting crops for food, and safeguarding important papers.
"We are very thankful to Heifer for the CMDRR workshops. It enabled us to achieve zero casualties in our municipality, unlike in our adjacent towns. Heifer is the first organization to check on our condition and situation," said Agustin Dignos, representative of Calubian Municipal Mayor Doroteo Palconit.
In the next few days, the Heifer Philippines team will purchase additional immediate assistance materials from Mindanao in the Southern Philippines and transport them to the project families in the central region. Heifer Philippines is also assessing the option to have Heifer families in the Southern Philippines project area to help package immediate need items, a model adopted by Heifer as a best practice after Typhoon Bopha.
Heifer Philippines is working directly with NetHope, a consortium formed by international NGOs in the Philippines under the InterAction group of the United States. Their original purpose is to set-up/provide communications access during emergency situations like disasters through innovative communications technologies so that the situation and damage done can be reported in a timely basis. This will then pave the way for NetHope members to send relief supplies and set up base in areas where relief operations can be launched.
Photos from Heifer projects can be viewed on our flickr page.
Heifer International President and CEO, Pierre Ferrari, said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families in the Philippines during this difficult time."

Mike D'Antoni was vacillating between the bed and the sofa, dazed and infused with painkillers when the call came last November.
The Lakers needed a new coach. They wanted him.
Him? Really?
It sunk in even though he was convalescing from knee-replacement surgery. And this wasn't the type of recovery that allowed for diving into a complex 500-page novel or reliving Season 4 of "Breaking Bad."
But, yeah. Of course he was interested.
So the Lakers hired him without an in-person interview, he hobbled to a flight out of New York City and ran into something just as painful — the Lakers' 2012-13 season.
Somewhere between the awkward Kobe Bryant-Dwight Howard relationship and a pile of injuries, the NBA gods spat out a horribly one-sided first-round playoff exit at the very capable hands of San Antonio, followed a few months later by Howard's bolting for Houston.
Welcome to the Lakers?
D'Antoni feels more settled now, forgetting the hurried hire and tumult that followed.
Ah, yes. He can breathe a little now.
"You know what you're getting into in a sense," he said. "Last year, you don't know what you're walking into. Steve Nash and Steve Blake were hurt. If they weren't, it would have been an easier transition. When you don't have your points guards, even if you were there for 10 years, you've got a tough period until you get them back."
Not that this season will be easier.
Nash is already banged up, Bryant is not close to returning from a torn Achilles' tendon and everyone knows the Lakers' championship chances are slimmer than a scalpel's edge.
D'Antoni's vision of a perfect training camp was chopped up by a weeklong trip to China, including whatever jet lag was created when the team returned to Los Angeles.
In the bigger picture, he must manage a roster filled with players in the last year of their contracts, never an easy task.
"The burden becomes you don't want to negatively influence somebody's career," he said. "Do they get enough time to show who they are? Or are they lost in the shuffle?
"I've got to do what's best for the team and win. Somebody's going to get lost. You hate that, but I think everybody knows that. I think that's why everybody's competing as hard as they can go. It kind of plays out."
D'Antoni has one more guaranteed year on his contract after this season. The team has an option for 2015-16.
It's not all doom and gloom. Pau Gasol looks rejuvenated after a dreadful season, Jordan Farmar's second tour with the Lakers went well in the exhibition season and the new players are buying into D'Antoni's system.
"You look at the Phoenix Suns over the years and they were very successful," center Chris Kaman said. "They had a couple great players, but they also had some mediocre players alongside them that had good success. I think we have better-than-mediocre players to go alongside Steve Nash and Pau.
"Not a knock to anybody that played there, but this can work as long as everybody buys in. Until Kobe gets back, that's what needs to happen. Minus Nick Young, we don't have a guy that can go get a bucket on his own. We have to play basketball the way it's supposed to be played. I think we'll be all right as long as we handle our business on the defensive end."
Farmar has long been cognizant of D'Antoni's stat-friendly scheme. It's partly why he gave up millions while playing in Turkey to return to the Lakers after a three-year hiatus for $1.1 million.
"I love Mike D'Antoni," Farmar said. "His basketball mind is really sharp. The whole staff, they really know basketball. They're positive and supportive. That energy is just going to carry us."

The leader of Coptic Catholics in Egypt has spoken of a "historic opportunity" provided by last month's revolution, saying that the country now stands on the brink of achieving the "dream" of a democratic system. Cardinal Antonios Naguib, Patriarch of Alexandria, welcomed the interim military regime's stated aim of dismantling the autocratic government built up by Hosni Mubarak, who resigned as president on Feb. 11.
Signaling his strong support for the first declarations of the temporary administration that replaced Mubarak, Patriarch Naguib highlighted the importance of the military regime's commitment to a civilian system of government. Patriarch Naguib said, "Moving towards a civil, democratic government, rather than a religious or a military one, has been our hope for a long time—it has been a dream."
Patriarch Naguib noted that the current expectation is that the Egyptian military will quickly facilitate new elections to help recast the nation's political system. In a country with 200,000 Coptic Catholics and about eight million Coptic Orthodox, the patriarch said, "We will encourage very much all the members of the church to participate in the elections. It is for us an historic opportunity."
Other Coptic bishops in Egypt welcomed the downfall of Mubarak and said that both Muslims and Christians were uniting behind the movement for change. Bishop Antonios Mina of Giza said: "For the last few decades there has been a lack of freedom. It was not human. We are pleased with what has happened, for it gives us the opportunity for a fresh start."
Patriarch Naguib downplayed fears that political uncertainty would play into the hands of extremists and groups like the political movement Muslim Brotherhood.
Emad Shahin, of the Kroc Institute at the University of Notre Dame, is also hopeful about Egypt's future. In February he traveled to the country for a two-week visit, during which he observed activity in Tahrir Square and participated in meetings to discuss the future of the country. He said there is a "collective desire" to work toward a platform that will benefit all Egyptians. "Egypt is now becoming a huge workshop where the youth and N.G.O.'s and intellectuals and activists are trying to look to the future and determine how to build a new Egypt," he said. Shahin said their hope is not simply to establish a democracy but to build a "free, democratic, liberal and humanitarian Egypt for Egyptians."
The strategic interests of the United States and concerns about maintaining stability in general have overshadowed Egyptian grievances about the Mubarak regime, Shahin said. With the fall of the regime, Egyptians are hearing contradictory and confusing messages from the White House and the State Department regarding American support, he said. "The people who made this revolution and sacrificed their lives are not expecting much from the United States, although they are not anti-American," Shahin said. "America can help indirectly through N.G.O.'s, but the best thing America can do is to let Egyptians chart their own democratic course."

Debug Process I/O
While running under the Wing debugger, any output from print or any writes to stdout or stderr will be seen in the Debug I/O tool. This is also where you enter keyboard input, if your debug program requests any with input() or raw_input() or by reading from stdin.
The code that services debug process I/O does two things: (1) any waits on sys.stdin are multiplexed with servicing of the debug network socket, so that the debug process remains responsive to Wing while waiting for keyboard input, and (2) in some cases, I/O is redirected to another window.
For a debug process launched from within Wing, keyboard I/O always occurs either in the Debug I/O tool or in a new external console that is created before the debug process is started. This can be controlled as described in External I/O Consoles. Using an external console is recommended when printing very large amounts of output from a debug process.
Debug processes launched outside of Wing, using wingdbstub, always do their keyboard I/O through the environment from which they were launched (whether that's a console window, web server, or any other I/O environment).
When commands are typed in the Debug Probe in Wing Pro, I/O is redirected temporarily to the Debug Probe only during the time that the command is being processed.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
Like many shrubs and trees, forsythia propagates itself by sending up suckers -- that is, new sprouts from its roots. In most lawns, the suckers are mowed off frequently, so it usually takes a few years for a bush to creep out and become a clump.
In 15 years, the old forsythia on the edge of our south bank has expanded a little. It used to be a big clump and a small clump. Now it is one big(ger!) clump.
It doesn't bloom well, even when I prune it. I suppose fertilizer might help it. It's not a bush I'm fond of, but I would never take it out because the little birds love it so in winter. I see them sitting in it all the time.
I have a couple of new forsythia bushes that bloom in a profusion of brash, blatant yellow. They are "Beatrix Farrand" forsythias -- a cultivar known for the brilliance of its blossoms. They're so yellow that they're almost insulting to my eyes. I prefer their fall blooms which are much more subdued!
To tell the truth, forsythia is not one of my favorite shrubs, but I do like the way it looks where the bush has been allowed to spread naturally. In the photo where it's growing in the trees, I suppose it could even be called invasive!
|Along Highway 68/80
east of Hopkinsville, KY
|Forsythia by an old barn
in rural Christian Co.
And this is a look that I personally don't care for at all -- forsythia trimmed into a un-natural manicured hedge.

We Match. You Save.
Found a price that beats ours? We'll match it, guaranteed.
How do you do it?
Step #1: Find the Ad, Copy the URL
When you find a lower price, save the web page URL. You'll need it to get your discount.
Step #2: Use the Price Match Request Form
You'll see a form at the bottom of this page. Paste the full web page URL into the appropriate slot, fill out the rest of the information, and send it to us.
Step #3: Profit!!!
Enjoy your savings, you wiley scoundrel.
What's in it for us?
We love you, and we want your business. We don't want you to run off with some other online retailer, so we're, of course, willing to give you the same deal they are. Plus, in the end, our deal will be way better than theirs! We'll match their price while we deliver life-of-product technical support, real customer service, and free shipping.
More Technical Details
To qualify for a Price Match, you must be able to produce a published price from a legitimate online retailer. Hearing about a 'great deal' from your cousin's neighbor's best friend does not count. The retailer in question will also need to have the product in stock and ready to ship. If it's on backorder, that's a mulligan. You get one claim per product, and cannot use the Price Match Policy in conjunction with other coupons, discounts, Labor Day (or other holiday) sales, or Voodoo magic. Typos, mail in rebates, closeout sales, and other non-standard retail transactions don't count either. Also, finding a great deal on Ebay or another auction site doesn't work.
Basically, the competing price must be for the same product, brand new, factory-sealed, style, model, etc etc. We also reserve the right to deny the IWAE Price Match Policy to anyone who we think is trying to get one over on us and/or trade us a wooden nickel.

On the heels of Congress passing the Jumpstart Our Business Startup (JOBS) Act, two Boulder companies have launched a crowdfunding-focused stock exchange.
Metzger Associates and Tiforp Business Ventures created SSX: The Story Stock Exchange, a mutual funds-like portfolio of startups that are not large enough to receive financing from banks or venture capitalists.
"I think what we're doing is opening up a whole new generation of public equity," said John Metzger, a co-founder of SSX.
In addition to investments -- which could come from angel investors and crowdfunding sites such as FundingLaunchpad.com and Kickstarter.com -- portfolio companies would receive professional business services from SSX such as digital marketing, investor relations and capital formation. In exchange for the business services, SSX would receive a small equity stake in the portfolio firm.
SSX already has lined up a couple companies for the exchange, Metzger said, adding that a formal announcement of participating companies would occur in the coming weeks. In the long-term, Metzger said he envisions that "dozens" of companies would be involved with the exchange for story stocks, those whose values are based on expectations of future performance rather than a company's assets or income.
The portfolio also would not be limited to tech startups, he added, noting that participants would come from a variety of sectors including cleantech and manufacturing.
"Some of these story stocks are going to be companies that we think can really get somewhere by raising a small amount of money," he said.
The recently passed JOBS Act also could open the door for more people to get involved with investing in business startups, Metzger said.
"What's always been really frustrating is if you're not an 'accredited' investor, you are prohibited from making investments" in venture capital-like deals, he said. "...The implication is that if you're not a rich person, you're not smart enough to make investments."
That's where crowdfunding comes into play, he said.
Prior to the passage of the JOBS Act -- which President Barack Obama is expected to sign into law later this week -- companies could not solicit funds in exchange for stock options or equity from unaccredited investors.
The legislation, which enables companies to receive money through crowdfunding, results in looser regulations to allow for "emerging growth companies" to raise capital and also to go public.
"This is providing new avenues and access to capital," said Adam Bozzi, a spokesman for U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., who co-sponsored a crowdfunding amendment.
Bennet's amendment also required companies disclose information such as financial statements and their business condition to potential investors.
However, some have argued that the easing of regulations and the addition of crowdfunding could result in more instances of fraud.
J. Robert Brown Jr., a professor at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law, said the involvement of crowdfunding could be troublesome for both legitimate companies and investors.
"Investors relying on the crowdfunding exemption may be subjected to fraudulent transactions," he wrote last week on the school's TheRacetotheBottom.org blog. "Even investors purchasing from legitimate companies, however, will incur the risk that they will have to hold the investment indefinitely.
"They likewise will incur the risk that the company may engage in subsequent transactions that dilute the ownership interest and the value of the shares purchased." Contact Camera Business Writer Alicia Wallace at 303-473-1332 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

You Ready for a Canna-Cation? Guest Editorial on Marijuana Themed Tourism
In the following guest editorial, Sarah Godlin offers an idea for possible Canna-tourism:
Canna-Cations are the New Dude Ranch
A true cattle drive brings to mind campfires, cattle calls and the spirit of the Wild West, but in reality they were probably uncomfortable, hard, and wrought with rank smells. The idea of growing cannabis outdoors plays a similar trick on the uninitiated. One pictures the sun filtering through towering redwood trees onto lush gardens while butterflies land softly atop heavy, crystalline buds; Helicopters crisscross the sky. Though versions of this might exist, true production type growing is incredibly hard and unromantic work. Busted water lines, bears, and angry neighbors with weapons are also in the fun grab bag labeled Growing Weed in the Hills. Ask anyone in the industry for a horror story and they probably have one. But as the danger associated with illegal activity slowly recedes into the hedges à la Homer Simpson, the hard work remains. These positive changes in the figurative cultivation landscape make an inroad for tourism. "This Is Cannabis Country," The travel brochures will read, and in smaller letters underneath it will explain, "Like wine country, but, you know, for weed."
But can the pot industry play the same ballgame as the wine industry? Are weed connoisseurs here for cheese/ganja pairings and sunset strolls in khakis and cashmere, or will they come because they have a romanticized idea about the way things once were, back when outdoor growing was a little more "outlaw-esque." If they choose a Cannabis farm as a vacation, maybe the end game isn't relaxation, but to spend a week off the concrete to stick their toes in the soil and get down and dirty. Maybe they're looking for a place where they can try their hand at the craft; A Weed Dude Ranch. Something in which they will pay to participate.
The Outlaws and rough living of the Wild West have been romanticized to an almost cartoon degree in films and music. How, in Jah's name, did Gene Autry keep such a clean red kerchief? If it were covered in dirt-boogers and trail grime, cowboy life might not have appealed to so many suburban kids of the past. In the same vein a pro-canna couple from Toledo, in Humboldt for their anniversary, don't want to know what the fishmeal bucket smells like (let alone the toilet bucket). There is a special shine that must be put on the industry to make it presentable to the weed loving public who may have been romanticizing the lifestyle since they hit their first joint. Licensed cultivators who have worked hard for their paperwork are chomping at the bit (pun intended) to provide the experience for them. They want to offer destination vacations and farm tours; Canna packages, getaway bungalows. They have built it, goddamnit! Let them come! But rather than emulating wine country, take a page from the dude ranches scattered around cattle country. Give the vacationer an experience in outdoor growing that he can brag about later as he holds up a nugget of Chemdog. "I helped grow this." He'll say. "I'm practically it's father. Can I borrow your lighter?"
What would one want out of a Canna Dude Ranch experience? What do folks get out of regular dude ranches? Billy Crystal helped birth a calf while icing a midlife crisis in City Slickers. Daniel Stern learned to work a lasso. They camped on the open range. They played cowboy for a few weeks and ate brown food out of a covered wagon. Something like this would fit into the canna-cation brochure. Perhaps quad rides to the top of the mountain for sunset could be part of the Canna Dude Ranch Package. The yoga and de-leafing hour could be the one right before lunch. How about a demonstration on how to properly open a bag of soil and dump it into a geo-pot and stir it with the right amount of amendments just like a real cowboy, er, grower. If a guest is lucky, they might be privy to a real live trimming experience. They could buy a pound, rent scissors and trim it themselves, while we're spitballing. And of course, there must be sampling of the products and a gift shop full of wares and camo and edibles to take home. And, of course, a coupon for next time.
Cattle drives and cannabis cultivation have more in common than one might think. Both concern a product that must be cared for until market. Both are associated with an outdoor lifestyle, peppered with stories of danger and bandits. One, though, has a lucrative side business in giving vacationers a taste of "the real deal," taking in workers and charging for the luxury of helping them get their product to market, and, honey, it ain't the cannabis growers.There's a price tag of about $3000 per person to help out a real working cattle drive. If area cultivators can lasso even a part of this business, they would be in good shape, and the experience would tattoo the word "Humboldt" on the heart of the guests forever, guaranteeing the longevity of the weed ranch travel industry. The thing to do now is to propagate more lore and more outlaw hero stories, because these are the pivot points that make people yearn for a taste of the growing lifestyle. That and the weed.
And that couple from Toledo, they come every year. Rasta Dan, their favorite farm hand, is their baby's godfather. They are thinking of buying a vacation cabin on the Trinity. The New Wild West captured their imaginations, their hearts and their wallet.
"Oh give me a home, where the bear and squirrel roam,
Where the deer might eat all of our teens,
And seldom was told, where the product was sold,
But now pride we may take in our greens.
Home, Home on the hill,
Years ago we'd have worked at the mill,
But now thanks to the laws,
The gray line we may cross
Oh the danger's gone,
But not the thrill."

Doctors say a baby boy delivered two months premature after the vehicle his parents were traveling in on their way to the hospital was struck by a hit-and-run driver has lost his own struggle to survive.
A baby boy delivered after a hit-and-run car crash in New York that killed both his parents has died, a family spokesman said Monday.
Doctors performed an emergency cesarean section at the site of the crash early Sunday in Brooklyn to save the boy's life. His parents were using a car service to go to the hospital when their vehicle crashed into a BMW at an intersection.
The driver of the other car fled and has not been found. The owner of that car, identified by police as Takia Walker of the Bronx, was arrested Monday on insurance fraud charges, accused of allowing someone not on the insurance policy to drive the car, NBC New York reported.
Isaac Abraham, who serves as a spokesman for the family's Orthodox Jewish community, said that the baby would be buried upstate after his body was released by the hospital. He demanded triple-homicide charges for the driver of the BMW.
"This coward left the scene of the accident not even bothering to check on the people of the other car," he said, according to The Associated Press.
Both of the boy's parents were 21. The mother, Raizy Glauber, was thrown from the car and landed under a parked tractor-trailer, witnesses said. The father, Nachman Glauber, was pinned in the car, and emergency workers cut open the roof to get to him.
Both died at nearby hospitals.
The mother was 24 weeks pregnant and was rushing to the hospital because she could no longer feel the baby, a relative told The New York Times. After the emergency delivery, the baby was taken to a hospital and had been in serious condition.

Members of the Satmar Orthodox Jewish community carry caskets Sunday to the funeral of two expectant parents who were killed in a car accident in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The car-service driver, identified by The Times as Pedro Nuñez Delacruz, was taken to the hospital and released.
Delacruz had a pending application to use the car as a service, known in New York as a livery cab, and should not have been picking up passengers, the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission told The Times.
The couple had been married about a year and had started a life in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, where the young mother grew up in a prominent rabbinical family, a relative told NBC New York.
In Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon, hundreds of mourners surrounded two coffins covered in black velvet. Jewish law calls for burying the dead as soon as possible.

The Face of Climate Change
Today more than one billion people from around the world will take part in Earth Day, an annual event which celebrates our amazing planet and encourages people to take positive actions to protect it.
It is easy to think of climate change as a remote problem but the reality is it is impacting people, places and species all over the world, and the numbers are increasing. The theme of Earth Day 2013 is 'The Face of Climate Change', which was chosen to highlight the increasing impacts of climate change on individuals around the world.
This year to mark Earth Day we have selected our own 'Faces of Climate Change' in order to raise awareness about some of the many species affected by climate change.
ARKive's Faces of Climate Change
To mark Earth Day 2013 here at the ARKive office we have selected our own Faces of Climate Change.
Polar bear
The polar bear is dependent on sea ice to hunt, breed and rest but climate change is causing drastic reductions in the extent of ice coverage across the Arctic region. This reduces the polar bear's access to prey, forcing them to spend more time on land and rely on stored fat reserves.
Coral Reef
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to coral reefs. Coral bleaching, a process where corals lose their symbiotic algae due to the stress of being exposed to extreme temperatures, is becoming more frequent as the sea temperatures rise. Bleached coral are unable to obtain enough nutrients so begin to starve. To find out more visit ARKive's coral reef conservation page.
Climate change could affect the amount of nutrients koalas obtain from eucalyptus, their main food source, as higher carbon dioxide levels reduce the protein levels and increase the amount of tannins in the leaves of eucalyptus.
North Atlantic Right Whale
Increases in sea temperatures and changes in ocean currents is likely to cause the planktonic prey of the North Atlantic right whale to move location or reduce in abundance, having potentially devastating consequences for this already highly endangered species.
Atlantic Salmon
The Atlantic salmon's developmental rate is directly related to water temperature. Therefore it is possible that increasing water temperatures could result in more rapidly developing juveniles entering the ocean before their planktonic food source has reached sufficiently high levels.
Arctic Fox
Climate change is turning the tundra, the habitat of the Arctic fox, into boreal forest as new plants are beginning to colonise the area. This change in habitat is causing a decline in the Arctic fox's prey species and allows the red fox, a competitor, to move into the area.
Golden Toad
The extinction of the golden toad is thought to have been caused mainly by climate change and the disease chytridiomycosis. Amphibians are sensitive to even small changes in temperature and moisture, with changes in global weather patterns altering breeding behaviour and affecting reproductive success. Find out about what is being done to protect the world's amphibians with our amphibian conservation topic page
Sea turtles
The gender of sea turtle hatchlings is determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated in the nest, with cooler temperatures producing more males and warmer temperatures more females. Increasing temperatures, due to climate change, will result in a disproportionate number of females in a given population.
To find out more about climate change visit ARKive's climate change topic page. You can also test your knowledge with ARKive's Climate Change Quiz.

Let the Adults Eat Cake
These confections are decidedly grown-up—but still sweet enough to satisfy anybody's inner child
IT IS ONLY the terrifically rational among us who don't wish upon the puff that extinguishes birthday candles. Few rituals better conjure the magical thinking of childhood, when make-believe exists in the realm of possibility. No birthday, therefore, no matter what year it's marking, should be without an old-fashioned frosted layer cake. These three certainly look the part, but their flavors have been updated and refined by contemporary pastry chefs. In other words, they are big and fun, but never cloying.
For the tea lover,...

Down big in the first half of the year, up big in the second – that is Cramer's latest investing thesis.
The Mad Money host found a number of stocks, culled from the S&P 500's worst-performing sectors, that he thinks offers a tremendous amount of snapback potential. One of them, in fact, has lost almost half its value so far in 2010, but Cramer said it could end up being one of the best stocks to own over the next six months.
The others, whose loses may not be as severe, still stand up as very attractive buys for the rest of the year, Cramer said. Investors who agree with him probably want to buy in now, as these picks won't stay secret for long.
Read on for the Top 6 Comeback Stocks of 2010.

Today I have officially said goodbye to several family members whom I have become very attached to over the last several years.
Goodbye to Peter Hope and his wife Lydia Prince, Peter's Hope line of John, Benjamin, Petri and Petri. The last Petri had been married in Hartington in 1653. I also had to say goodbye to Peter and Lydia's daughter Mary who married Thomas Hickenbottom, and their children and grandchildren. They were all so easy to trace. Altogether I had to say goodbye to 13 direct line ancestors.
Why? THEY ARE NOT MINE. I should be excited but I have to admit to being a little sad.
My ggg grandmother, Ann Hope married Samuel Ogden on 3rd September 1837 in the Parish of Prestwich, Manchester in the County of Lancester.
Her father, Peter Hope was a farmer and one of the witnesses to the marriage. The challenge for many years had been to find out who was Peter Hope. Ann Ogden's entry in the 1851 English census stated that she was born at Tillese. Of course I could not find Tillese. There seemed to be only one possible solution. Peter Hope from Alstonfield seemed to be the likely father. He was the only Peter Hope I could find with a daughter Ann. (Luckily I didn't visit Alstonfield on a recent trip to England - I had been tempted!)
However, recently we discovered Tillese. The correct name is Tyldesley which is a town in Manchester. It was also known as Tyldesley-with-Shakerley and was in the parish of Leigh.
The foundation stone for the church at Tyldesley was laid in 1822 and until 1829 its chapelry was dependent on Leigh.
So I think I am correct now in entering Ann Hope, daughter of Peter Hope and his wife Alice Hadkinson/Hodgkinson who was baptised on 1st August, 1818 at St Mary the Virgin, Leigh, Lancashire, England. As there was no church at Tyldesley Ann would have been baptised at Leigh. A search has revealed that her parents, Peter and Alice were married on 3 September 1815 at Leigh.
So welcome to the family, Anne, Peter and Alice. I certainly hope you are the correct ones.
