Kirksville City Council and R-III School Board toured facility ahead of crucial $18 million bond issue for wastewater upgrade on April 2
The Kirksville City Council is hoping the R-III School Board is in its corner as it makes the case for why voters should approve April 2's $18 million wastewater bond issue, providing the school board with a tour of the facility Monday afternoon.
The two entities met for their twice-yearly meeting to discuss items of mutual interest with the Council showing off both the wastewater facility and the Kirksville Regional Airport.
"Our discharge is important," said Public Works Director John Buckwalter as he guided the Council and School Board. "It ends up in Bear Creek and the Salt River and eventually in Mark Twain Lake. It's not just important for Kirksville but beyond."
The School Board got an up close view, and smell, of the facility, with Board member Jeff Brawner commenting that the plant's proximity to the R-III campus brought some of its odors in the wind.
"We get some of this up in our neighborhood, depending on the wind, along Jamison Street," he said.
Buckwalter noted the planned upgrades would reduce any nuisance odors from the facility which processes the area's sewage and waste water.
The City Council was in full campaign mode, with Mayor Richard Detweiler telling the School Board that one of the major reasons for the upgrade, other than the mandated environmental aspects, is to allow for both residential and industrial growth and expansion.
"This will allow us to expand for a new company," he said. "We want to position ourselves, so if a company sized like Kraft Foods wanted to come in, we wouldn't have to say, 'Come back in five years.'"
April 2's ballot will feature the revenue bond request for $18 million for both design and constructions costs of the upgrade. The facility is required by 2015 to have the upgrades in place or risk losing its operating permit.
School Board member Matt Copeland, examining what he called the "worst-case scenario," asked what happens if voters do not approve the measure next week.
Buckwalter said the city will still proceed forward with the process, instead forced to pursue other funding methods like lease-purchase or other bonds that would be likely more expensive. Whether voters approve the measure or not, they can expect at least a 10 percent increase in water and sewage rates a year for the next five years.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to share that my 11 year old daughter had her decompression surgery done one year ago, on May 13th and is a complete success story! She is doing amazingly well and has no problems. All of her post-op appointments and MRI were great. She has returned to all activities, and actually has added more activities than pre-surgery because her headaches prohibited her from participating in all of the sports she wanted to. She is very active at school, no limitations, does dance/drill team, plays volleyball, and has just started running track.
She had a 21+mm herniation and had decompression and duraplasty performed by Dr. Dale Swift, Pediatric Neurosurgeon at Children's Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. Pre-surgery symptoms included daily headaches to the point of vomiting, numbness/tingling in extremities, vertigo, ringing in ears, some balance issue, drastic eye sight changes, severely blocked CSF flow resulting in her not bending over/changing positions often. Today, she has NONE of those symptoms!!!
I know there are many scary stories out there and not all of them have happy endings, but I want to give those of you embarking on this journey HOPE! Wishing you all the best!
One of the lucky ones,
Mom to Madison (11 yo)
Decompression/Duraplasty 5/13/2009

In the world of Kygreum the continent of Callimhros, known as the Middlelands, was once a nation of near constant war and turmoil. Civil wars and infighting between the races nearly destroyed the region. Until the day the Skraeling arrived on the shores of Trevath, and former enemies were forced to become allies in order to battle an even greater threat.
The Skraeling were forced out of Callimhros after 21 years of war, leaving the nations inhabitants exhausted and, for once, longing for peace, in order to rebuild their homes and the land.
Nearly four thousand years have passed and the Skrealing have become nothing more then bedtime stories to most of the inhabitants of the Middlelands. Peace has lasted between the races and a sense of brotherhood has evolved. Without wars and large scale battles to fight the need for a well trained standing army is next to none. The army as it currently stands is made of mostly part time soldiers and a few regiments of well trained soldiers. A shadow of its original self the Cardinal Legion would be ill prepared for another large scale war, but such fears are almost comical when mentioned to any citizen, since the last war is beyond memory for many.
Unknown to the peoples of Callimhros, dark times lie ahead.
Though the Skraeling were defeated, they were not destroyed. Rumors have been surfacing of strange encounters and occurances in the Hymattus mountains to the north and the Ordos desert to the south. There are whispers that the Skrealing have returned to the Middlelands, but it is not the return of a hated enemy that should cause the people of Kygreum to worry…but the nightmare that rides behind it…
If the rumors are true war would return to the Middlelands and the people are not prepared. Are there no heroes, trained in the old ways of warfare? Will no one be able to stop the Skrealing this time? Why have the Skrealing returned and what new evil has followed them to Callimhros? Will the storm clouds gathering over the Middlelands break and plunge the world into darkness?

So the topic should have been in the work in progrss. Im just not sure on it , I mean i posted in the work in progress forum cuz the images were done to me but i wanted feed back , well i didnt get too much feed back on it , but then people who are posting stuff here that they think is done are getting more feed back then the people who are posting in the work in progress section . My feelings on this topic and these are just my feelings , is that this section should be for pics that are done ,, you know , like say you went through the work in progrss part got feed back and all. So when you post in the gallery section you should get stuff like i like the pic , or what the hell is that. I say this because if everyone just starts posting in this section and not the others well its just going to be like the old forum, people will post everything in this section and not the others.

Im not sure what Sijun forsaw for the forum when he made the split. Did he want this one to be like a place were people post there finied works, in the sence that they are not going to change it and stuff . Or did he mean for it to be for work that is done to the person and feed back on it would be cool .. I dont know .. and really i dont care too much , i mean its not a big deal.

Three non-perishable food items will get family in free on Sept. 26
The Kern County Fair has partnered with the Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) Food Bank to bring awareness to the issue of food insecurity throughout Kern County, with its Feed the Need Canned Food Drive.
Bring three non-perishable, canned food items per family member to the Kern County Fair on Wednesday, September 26, between 3-9pm and admission is free. CAPK Food Bank volunteers will be on-hand to graciously accept the canned food items just inside the Main Gate, Belle Terrace and Union Avenue entrances.
Food insecurity knows no boundaries. It affects people living in rural, suburban and metropolitan areas of Kern County:
•According to the USDA, 14.9% of households in the United States were food insecure at least some time in 2011.
•In Kern County, the problem is much larger. 33.0% of low-income residents are food insecure, and 5.7% have very low food security, resulting in one or more household members reducing or disrupting their food intake, including children.
•CA Food Policy stats show that 20% of Kern County population is below the poverty line; of that, 24.5% are youths.
"The CAPK Food Bank is very excited to be working with Michael Olcott, CEO of the Kern County Fair and its Board of Directors, who recognized the need in our community and approached us to help", says Mark Corum, Outreach and Resource Development Manager of Community Action Partnership of Kern. "They've provided an opportunity to treat the family to a great entertainment value, while engaging the community to do its part to help reduce food insecurity throughout Kern County."
For more information, contact Mark Corum, with Community Action Partnership of Kern at 336-5236.

Top-seed and eventual Class 1 District 8 champion Silex High School ended Madison's softball season with a 5-0 loss last Thursday in the semifinals.
Madison (8-12) wrapped up its 2012 campaign on a posite by winning 4 of its 5 last games. This came on the heels of a very rough beginning when losses by the 10-run rule were plentifuly, and errors filled the scorebook.
"I can't say enough about how tough our girls were this year. When we started this season we knew we had our work cut out for us, and we were not a very good softball team then. We weren't very good making decisions and we did not make plays on defense to support our pitcher," said Madison first year head coach Bryant Jones. "As the season progressed the girls just kept working. They had a great attitude and work ethic. By the end of the season, the girls were playing their best softball."
It took a couple of innings before Silex (17-1) finally scored when they plated three runs in the bottom of the third. One run was added in each of the next two innings.
Senior Angela Purdy was the losing pitcher for Madison. She yielded 10 base hits, recorded eight strike outs and walked one batter.
Krystal Sanders had the only base hits for the lady Panthers.
"Silex is one of the better teams in the state. For our girls to be able to compete with them, and make them beat us instead of us giving away runs is a really nice accomplishment for us," said coach Jones.
Fleming was the winning pitcher for Silex and tossed a 1-hitter. She fanned six batter and walked two.

Cognitive-enhancement drugs have been in the headlines a great deal lately—they stoke your gray matter, enabling greater focus and attention for longer periods of time, users say. But their long-term effects are uncertain and unknown, on both brain and body. In the meantime, there's something you can do that helps both areas but that doesn't have any known mental health risks. As study after study has shown, simple physical activity not only builds your physique and cardiovascular health: it also helps to sharpen the wetware in your skull and thwarts mental decline as you advance in years. Check out our feature story, "Fit Body, Fit Mind?" by psychologist Christopher Hertzog and his colleagues. You'll be glad you did.
A different kind of brain performance question is explored in "Do ADHD Drugs Take a Toll on the Brain?" Of course, drugs that treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder have provided enormous benefits for many thousands of patients, and nobody should make any decisions about their suitability without consulting a professional. But the article, by Edmund S. Higgins, discusses evidence that raises concerns about the long-term consequences of such medications. Understanding about the related brain mechanisms will grow with further research, and we expect that such medicines ultimately could be improved in the future. Naturally, Scientific American Mind applauds all such efforts to provide better mental health for everyone.
Note: This article was originally printed with the title, "Pump Your Brain."

Thank you AF-F! I was afraid no one would sub this series and its going to be one of the best this entire season. Its being produced by Studio 4C who did the Animatrix, Spriggan, Memories, Comedy, Noiseman Sound Insect, and lot of experimental anime shorts (like Uraroji Diamond). Stuido 4C=Top Quality.
The music reminded me of Final Fantasy, great song.
40 Nine-minute episodes? I thought they were going to do a regular 20-minute episode format. Oh well, I'm sure they will do great things with that unconventional length.
I'm trying to download the raw, I can't wait!

I agree with some of the references, but for some reason i saw the landscape and it reminded me of a Tim Burton film. It has a very surreal look to it in my humble opinion, yeah another good looking series this year brings my total to 13 that i'm downloading..

nightmare before christmas?
-first thing that came to mind for me...
just curious, how many other "shorts" from studio 4c are in circulation? I'd certainly like to see more of this caliber of animation; its not the usual fodder. or at the very least hit up netflix for some goodness...

This one I'm really looking forward to! It seems to have a fun gothy type feel to it and I love that style. Plus like others have said it's Studio 4C so really, there isn't any going wrong.
Whoever asked if there were more shorts out there, there is a thread on here somewhere about the Studio 4C short Comedy, which I thought was just beautiful. It's on animesuki listed under Studio4C on the series page. I believe the thread on comedy also has links where to find other Studio4C shorts and Memories was just recently released in the US and I love that as well.

Red Bull told to redesign nose
Red Bull must redesign the nose of its car, after Adrian Newey exploited a loophole in the 2014 rules.
Keen-eyed observers noticed throughout the winter and again when the race season began that the RB10 did not have the mandatory camera mountings installed as per normal.
A closer look at the nose revealed that a tiny hole for the television camera lens had been cut between the 'Casio' and 'Pirelli' logos in the nose.
The rules say the mountings must not be located inside the carbon structure itself, but Newey's loophole is that the camera was in fact inside the non-structural 'vanity panel' introduced last year to hide the unseemly nose steps.
But while it satisfied the actual wording of the rules, commercial rights holder Formula One Management was less happy with the Red Bull trick.
It meant FOM could no longer use the Red Bull nose camera for a rearward-facing view.
And Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports that the Bernie Ecclestone-led company was also unhappy with the front view, moving Red Bull to improve the 'hole in the nose' ahead of the recent Spanish grand prix.
But Ecclestone reportedly remained unhappy even with the Barcelona solution.
So from Monaco this weekend, the RB10 will be fitted with the standard FIA mountings on the outside of the nose structure, as per the other teams in 2014 like Ferrari and Mercedes.

For those who are planning to go to Raja Ampat area, you may want to plan
a brief sojourn at Ambon; the diving is relaxing, and the natives are friendly,
very friendly, at Maluku.
We only did a short trip (four days of diving) this Easter, and could've mucked
around happily for longer.
A brief trip report and some critter photos are on my website: Ambon trip report, Apr 12
I wonder if anyone can help to identify the critters in this image? They're small
(2-3cm) and hiding in a soft cloth-like sock shaped green moss.

Allmendinger Looking to Buck Odds at Vegas
This isn't the start to the 2012 Sprint Cup season A.J. Allmendinger envisioned when he made the decision to jump from Richard Petty Motorsports, where he was driving the iconic No. 43 car, to Penske Racing and driving the No. 22 Dodge.
Allmendinger had hoped to finish strong last Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway after struggling to a 34th-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500. And after climbing to as high as fourth by Lap 195 of the 312-lap event -- even though that largely was because he hadn't pitted while the top cars in the race had -- it looked for a while as if that was just what was going to happen.
Instead, Allmedinger battled an ill-handling race car and poor luck all day and had to settle for an 18th-place finish. That left him a disappointing 25th in the point standings after the season's first two races.
Earlier in last Sunday's race, Allmendinger also appeared poised to make a move more toward the front when he got clipped by the No. 27 Chevrolet driven by Paul Menard. But Allmendinger later said it was simply a long, pretty much lost weekend from the start.
And that, he admitted, was totally unexpected.
"Honestly, it was a bit of a frustrating weekend -- especially on the heels of Daytona," Allmendinger said. "I've always run well [at Phoenix], so I came in with my goal being a top-five or top-10 [car], at least. We just couldn't get the car dialed in from the start."
It wasn't for a lack of trying by Allmendinger and his new crew chief, Todd Gordon.
"Todd and our team sat down [last] Friday evening and really worked on it," Allmendinger said. "I felt we made some good gains for qualifying and heading into the race. ... But the way the schedule was [last weekend] without a practice after qualifying, those changes were still a bit of a gamble."
Gordon said the team's struggles right now mostly are a matter of needing to improve communication between crew chief and driver. Right now, because they're still developing that understanding, it's hard for Gordon to know precisely what in-race adjustments to make to the car when Allmendinger attempts to convey his frustrations.
"You've got to take what you've got and keep digging with it," Gordon said. "It's a communication thing, just learning what A.J.'s talking about when he's talking about tight or loose and the amount that it is. That's probably the biggest challenge we've got right now, quantifying what his statements are."
Allmendinger and Gordon both indicated that they saw some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel based on how the No. 22 pit crew was able to repair damage to the car after Menard ran into it.
"We just didn't seem to be able to get the car into the track," said Allmendinger, who replaced Kurt Busch as driver of the No. 22 car after last season. "It just kept getting tighter and tighter. It was a handful, but we were holding on.
"Then the 27 got into me and I bounced between him and the wall. That popped the rear-deck lid. Man, the whole 22 Penske crew worked their butts off to repair the car and keep us in the race. After that, we actually were running the fastest laps with the Dodge Charger, but we just couldn't gain any track position. So really, we spent the last runs trying to dig in and get what we could."
Likewise, Gordon was pleased with the overall team effort.
"I thought the guys did a good job getting it fixed and getting us back where we could race," Gordon said. "We were a couple of tenths [of a second] off the leaders once we got it fixed. We survived and turned a bad day into a mediocre day. That's what you've got to do. You've got to accumulate all the points you can. It's about survival.
"Obviously, it was not what we were looking for coming into [Phoenix], but I think we've learned more about our communication and where we're at. I've learned more about how I need to react to A.J.'s comments. It's part of the learning curve of a new driver and new crew chief to a new team."
Allmendinger has never had much luck at Las Vegas, where the Sprint Cup Series is headed this weekend. He's run just three Cup races at the 1.5-mile intermediate track, with an average finish of 25.7. Last year he qualified seventh but finished 19th -- and that's the best he's ever done.
Last year also was the first time at Vegas in which Allmendinger managed to finish on the lead lap. He started 40th and finished 25th, two laps down, in 2010. And in 2009, he started 19th but finished 33rd and four laps off the pace.
Yet Allmendinger said he remains optimistic about the young season.
"Like Todd has said, [Phoenix] was our first real race together and there's still some learning of each other we have to do," Allmendinger said. "So we'll take that on to Vegas and keep moving forward."

California Hedge Fund Manager Doug Whitman Sentenced To 24 Months In Prison In Manhattan Federal Court For Insider Trading
Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that DOUG WHITMAN, a portfolio manager at Whitman Capital, LLC, was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court to 24 months in prison for his involvement in two insider trading schemes that earned his firm more than $900,000 in illegal profits. As part of the schemes, WHITMAN executed trades based on material, non-public information ("Inside Information"), related to three publicly traded companies: Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. ("Marvell"); Polycom, Inc. ("Polycom"); and Google, Inc. ("Google"). WHITMAN was convicted in August 2012 on two counts of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and two counts of securities fraud. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: "With his sentence today, Doug Whitman joins scores of other privileged professionals who traded on inside information to gain an illegal edge and now live behind bars. His punishment shows yet again that supposedly elite financial players must operate by the same rules that apply to everyone else."
According to the Indictment, evidence presented at Whitman's trial, and testimony from other trials and court proceedings:
From 2007 through 2009, while running Whitman Capital, WHITMAN bought and sold Marvell stock and options based on Inside Information, including earnings, revenue, and/or other material financial and business information. The Inside Information was provided to WHITMAN by Karl Motey, an independent research consultant, who had obtained it from certain Marvell employees. In exchange for the Inside Information, WHITMAN paid Motey through a soft dollar payment arrangement between Whitman Capital and Motey's consulting firm. WHITMAN also provided the Marvell Inside Information to Wesley Wang in exchange for other Inside Information.
In another scheme, from 2006 to 2007, WHITMAN obtained Inside Information, including earnings information and other material financial information pertaining to Polycom and Google from Roomy Khan, who worked in the hedge fund industry. Khan obtained the Polycom Inside Information from an employee at the company, and she obtained the Google Inside Information from an employee of a firm that provided investor relations services to Google. WHITMAN used the Polycom and Google Inside Information to execute securities transactions that earned his firm more than $900,000 in illegal profits. In exchange for the Inside Information, WHITMAN provided Khan with information about other publicly traded technology companies.
In addition to his prison term, WHITMAN, 55, of Atherton, California, was sentenced to one year of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a $250,000 fine, a special assessment of $400, and to forfeit $935,306.
In issuing Whitman's sentence, Judge Rakoff said, "Mr. Whitman was someone who had no compunctions about going across the legal lines that he was very well aware of, and excusing them, and even carrying those excuses into the courtroom when it served his interest."
WHITMAN's co-conspirators, Karl Motey, Roomy Khan, and Wesley Wang, previously pled guilty to insider trading charges. Wang was sentenced in Manhattan federal court to two years' probation on January 9, 2013 by Judge Rakoff. Khan and Motey are scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Rakoff on January 31, 2013 and February 4, 2013, respectively.
Mr. Bharara praised the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") and thanked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
This case was brought in coordination with President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, on which Mr. Bharara serves as a Co-Chair of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Working Group. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
This case is being handled by the Office's Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jillian Berman, Christopher LaVigne, and Micah Smith are in charge of the prosecution.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott admits turning around asylum-seeker boats will neither be simple or easy but it will be done under his government.
Immigration Minister Brendan O'Connor accused Mr Abbott of being "happy to risk the safety of our servicemen and women" after the opposition leader conceded on Sunday that turning boats back might be dangerous.
But Mr Abbott says Australian authorities, who managed to turn seven boats around under former prime minister John Howard, will be able to do it again.
"I don't pretend for a second that this is simple or easy but it can be done," he told reporters in Perth on Monday.
"I have a lot of faith in the professionalism of the Royal Australian Navy and I am confident that what they have done in the past they can do again in the future if needs be."
Mr O'Connor said Mr Abbott's tow-back policy was irresponsible and against the national interest.
"His reckless policies will risk the lives of not only the people on those vessels, but also our naval and customs personnel who work to protect our borders," he said in a statement.
"Mr Abbott knows his policy is dangerous and he knows the experts say it won't work."

I am getting ready to install my new sprinkler irrigation system and I have a few questions before I move forward.
I have 1" coming off of my well system. I have an on-demand well and I can set the static pressure as needed. Currently the pressure is set at 80 psi and I record this reading at the faucet nearest to the main line and when I turn on a second faucet it does not drop.
I also used a 5 Gal bucket for testing GPM as well. I turned on the faucet and it took 15 seconds to fill the bucket; I did this three times with the same results. I had someone watch the pressure gauge and it did not drop from 80 PSI on any of the tests. According to my calculations this calculates to 20 gallons per minute.
My system will be segmented into 16 zones and I have the ability for additional zones as needed up to 32. I will run Schedule 40 PVC piping to all my zone manifolds.
Here are my questions,
1) after the valves, I will have 1" polly main, should I continue with 1" for the laterals or reduce to 3/4"?
2) I have the Hunter PGP adjustable Arc Rotor and will need to run a line from the lateral (5' - 7') in some areas. Can I continue with 3/4" to the heads or should I reduce to 1/2" for the line from the lateral to the sprinkler head. The sprinkler head is a 3/4" inlet.
3) Should I keep the main and laterals at 1" and off of the laterals reduce to 3/4"?
4) I also have 75 spray and bubbler heads (all will be on like type zones) and these are at 1/2" inlets. I assume it will be okay to come of the laterals (3/4 or 1") and reduce this to 1/2"?
Thank you for your assistance,

For poly zone piping (where is your location) you will never use 1/2-inch pipe. You might not even find the stuff at distributors. Many pros use all one-inch poly, and minimize their fittings inventory.

One million people gathered along the banks of the Thames this weekend to watch the Queen pass by. One million people, that is, stood in the pouring rain for hours and cheered themselves giddy over a famously dowdy 86-year-old grandmother, who spent the afternoon much as she has spent the last sixty years, waving at crowds as she passed. Could anything be more glorious?
What moved all those people to stand and cheer? Not celebrity or glamour or drink, but loyalty, which is another word for love: a mixture of affection for the Queen herself and a deep attachment to what she represents. Which is, in part, them. The Queen not only personifies the state, but also the nation: as she endures, so it endures.
And so the love they bear for her is also love for each other: a sense of being part of the same thing, bound up in each other's fate, willing to make sacrifices for each other. We may understand these as concepts, but something in human beings finds it easier to attach these sentiments to a human being, and having done so to one, to do so more generally. All through that cheering, soaking crowd, the same ritual was performed over and over: people first beamed at the Queen, then turned and beamed at each other. And, a second later, thought: how marvellous it is to be a part of this, this place, this tribe, this happiness. That, as much as her constitutional role, is what the Queen represents, or rather that bedrock of popular affection is what ultimately underpins her constitutional role. A constitutional order founded on love strikes me as no bad thing.
And what, in turn, underpins that affection? There is no escaping the matter: heredity. The Queen seems like a perfectly nice person, but the people love her not because she is some sort of saint, but because she is Queen, and she is Queen for no other reason than because she is the eldest child of the late King. To be sure, they also respect her for her sense of duty, but that, too, is the product of heredity: not in the sense of an inherited trait, but as her chosen response to circumstances that were very much not of her choosing, the life she was born to, and the responsibilities that come with it.
This is the gate at which many critics of the monarchy stumble. Most will profess to admire the Queen personally. Some claim to like the idea of the Crown, in some disembodied way, and of a head of state, separate from the head of government, as the repository of state sovereignty. But, they squirm, couldn't they be chosen in some other way? By election, or appointment, or, I don't know, just not heredity?
But this is to misunderstand the special genius of monarchy. You think all those people would have half-drowned themselves for the sixtieth jubilee of an elected head of state? You think an elected head of state would even have been around that long? Of course not. In the course of her long rein Elizabeth has seen a dozen British prime ministers come and go, along with 11 Canadian prime ministers and who knows how many more across the Commonwealth. Where she represents continuity, and the affection that grows with time, they represent popularity, as fleeting as the weather.
It is in the nature of elected office to be temporary: we tire of them, they tire of the job, precisely because it is a matter of choice on either side. Appointment is no different. Whatever interests, values and fashions dictated that this person at this time should represent us would soon be replaced by others. Judges and senators, though ostensibly appointed for life, are not really: they had lives before they were appointed, and will have lives after. In the end, it is just a job.
But now consider the lot of a heredity monarch. You aren't elected or appointed or selected in any way. Indeed, you did nothing to earn it. But neither did you seek it. You just are. It is not a job or a position or even a calling. It is you: from the day you are born until the day you die. You may think the Queen's life a privileged one, but I can't imagine most of us would trade places with her. It is a life sentence, and yet one she accepts uncomplainingly.
This is why the Queen will never abdicate. It is central to the bond that exists between her and her subjects. And when one day she dies, I think some of the affection and respect she enjoys will transfer to Charles — a solemn recognition that, as the Crown passes, so do its duties, best expressed in those laconic words: The Queen is dead. Long live the King.

Spring Doesn't Show In Midwest
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Spring is buried under winter in parts of the Midwest and the storm continues to move east. The National Weather Service has issued storm warnings and advisories for as far east as Pennsylvania, and officials are blaming two deaths in separate crashes in Kansas and Missouri on snow-slicked roads.

I don't think it's just about who finally wins the legs though, there was still some competition in many to the legs, it wasn't just processional among all the racers. Most of the drama tends to be about who gets eliminated in this show anyway, not who wins legs.As the intro phrase goes "who will be elimimated.....NEXT?"
I enjoyed season 19 mainly because of Marcus. It visited good countries, but the fact It stayed 2 legs in 90% of them, turns me off.
Season 13 is indeed underrated..-Sarah and the fact that she looks like Molly Shannon's love child and her: "They didn't even said Hi to us"-Tina saying: "You owe us" to any single team she helped with even the slightest thing-Dandrew making it to the Top3 against all odds-Nick giving slightly gay vibes-First time visits to cool countries..If you think about it, it's even underrated with the producers, cause they overlooked Toni and Dallas. They should have returned to Unfinished Business instead of one of the 5 teams of S14.
Season 16 I think is underrated to an extent, though I think 19 is more. The main weakness with 16 for me is who wins it, and it feels at some points like the producers are biased towards them as well. No way did they do a proper pyramid of glasses and shifting to first class in the plane when you are supposed to travel economy was a bit peculiar too. I loved the drama of the leg with the coconuts but the producers heavily emphasised the teams who supposedly did do it properly saying they did it properly in a rather heavy handed way which kind of made me suspicious that maybe they didn't.
4, 6, 13, 16, and 19. Oh, and Family Edition. The first five all have exceptional moments throughout and very few lowlights, but something feels off (usually the boring teams surviving). And Family Edition really isn't bad, trust me.

'Glee' Star Darren Criss Takes on Michael Jackson With 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
It's only a few more days until 'Glee' premieres their Michael Jackson episode, and in order to get Gleeks pumped for the upcoming tribute to the King of Pop, Fox has unleashed a sneak peek to the Internet. In the clip, Gleeks can witness Darren Criss (AKA Blaine) and his fellow WMHS songbirds take on Michael Jackson's hit 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin.'
As he exhibited in episode after episode, Criss is a born entertainer, and his exuberance and stage presence really shine through as he does his best MJ impression. Starting off in the hallways dressed in a white varsity jacket, Blaine — with some assistance from Britney, Santana, Kurt and Mercedes — busts out some classic MJ moves like the gravity-defying 'Smooth Criminal' lean as well as Jackson's classic stage strut.
As the song continues, Criss (as Blaine) really shows off his singing abilities as he belts out the cover while taking on MJ's vocal ferocity and attitude. After they take their performance into the library, the members of the New Directions head over to the auditorium for the rest of the performance. In front of a massive backdrop of flashing light bulbs, the 'Glee' kids get their MJ on with more dance moves and some classic costumes — Blaine dons the iconic silver glove in an ode to Jackson's 'Billie Jean,' while Mike replicates Jackson's outfit from the 'Beat It' video.
Watch Blaine and the rest of the New Directions perform 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' below, and be sure to tune in to Fox on Jan. 31 at 8PM EST to catch the entire episode.

Fifth in the series about Petaluma's American Alley
A collaborative project with Independent Journalist, Frances Rivetti
Past articles are filed under American Alley
Also See Hidden in Plain Sight on Petaluma Patch
Finding the answers as to the "who, what, when and why" behind the artwork on the back of the present day Copperfield's required the collaboration of several people.
Mattei Brothers Clothing Store
Bill Hammerman was able to come up with the first breakthrough in solving this art history mystery when he established that the man behind the artwork was Bob Mattei of the Mattei Brother's clothing store. Briefly, Mattei's had been in business in Petaluma at several downtown locations for 87 years. It occupied the building now known as Copperfield's from 1965 until the business closed at the end of 1994. (For background on the store, see SF Gate*)
Armed with this information, Frances and I visited with Bob Mattei on March 27. Mattei told us that the clothing market was changing in the early nineties and he was searching for ways to meet the shifting trends of the marketplace: "I was going for the high school business…jeans, etc. I always had kids from the high school working in the store." Mattei worked with them to come up with a plan for a separate teenage department or store in the basement and involved them in the advertising and inventory selection. They also came up with the name, The Underground Clothing Store.
According to Mattei: "A lot of the teenagers did not like coming into my store because it was like their father's store, So I came up with the idea of putting the entrance in the alley…[to provide an alternative entry]." As a means of attracting customers to the back of the store, Mattei decided that some artwork over the back door was in order. Consequently he connected with two local artists who eventually produced the work. He did not discuss the concept or the design in the interview except to say that the artists "…ran some ideas by me and came up with the work theme." To carry out the project, Mattei brought in portable lifts to enable the artists to work and to be able to exit the alley when vehicles needed to pass.
The Artists
We were able to get a better feeling for the timeline of the artwork after Frances established contact with an artist who worked on the project. He provided a critical piece of information–the date of a 1995 Argus Courier article regarding the murals.**
Armed with this information, Katherine Rinehart located the article on microfilm in short order. From the information contained in the Argus article, it appears that the artwork was completed a few months before the store closed in 1994. This may explain why so few people have any memory of it, or its origins. We did learn from the article that the artists researched and were heavily influenced by the WPA style artwork of the 1930's when they designed and laid out the project.
*On December 13, 1994, the Argus Courier published an article by Jay Gamel on the store's closing. Katherine Rinehart wrote a retrospective article about Mattei's for the spring 2008 edition of Petaluma Magazine: Kentucky Street Suited Mattei Brothers. These articles are not available online but are available at the library. My interpretation of the copyright laws precludes their inclusion with this article.
** I did not attach a copy of the 1995 Argus Courier article or the accompanying photo of one of the artists for the same reason as stated in the above note. The article did report the names of two artists commissioned by Mattei as Fernando Nugent and Charlie Roder.
This series will resume later next month.
So stay tuned!
In the interim, enjoy a brief slideshow documenting the multimedia aspects of the work.

It is official. It is an El Nino year because the government has said so. Problem is for those living in the Desert Southwest, it just doesn't seem like it with the very dry winter experienced so far.
Paul Brown, University of Arizona vegetable specialists at the UA Yuma Agricultural Center, agrees with the government forecast because since September Pacific trade winds along the equator have weakened and ocean temperatures off South America have cooled and water off Indonesia and Australia is warming, the telltale signs of El Nino.
Brown told the 17th annual Desert Vegetable Crops Workshop in Yuma, Ariz., recently that this portends a wet winter weather cycle in the Southwest, and wet spring weather for the Southern tier of the U.S.
The weather so far is more like La Nina, the drought-producing opposite of El Nino. El Nino and La Nina cycle ever three to seven years.
This weather pattern along the equator, said Brown, is one of the best indicators for long range forecasting meteorologists have and therefore is closely watched.
El Nino and La Nina have nothing to do with global warming, said Brown. Indian tribes along the South American coast have been noticing changes in ocean water temperatures for 600 years with changing fishing patterns.
While trade winds and ocean temperatures are good indicators of changing dry-wet cycles, how wet or dry it becomes depends on how strong the warm /cool ocean water patterns become. The strength of these cycles is determined by the barometric pressure difference between Tahiti and Darwin, Australia in December. A strong pressure difference between the two locations is an indication of a strong El Nino.
'Right on border'
Right now that difference is "right on the border" of becoming a full-fledged El Nino. If that happens, history tells desert farmers they can expect twice the normal (about 2.5 inches) rainfall from October through March. And the U.S. Sunbelt can expect more spring rain than normal.
Since 1950, there have been 8 El Ninos in the Desert Southwest with the majority of the rain in those years coming from December through March in the form of a Pineapple Express pushing moisture from Hawaii through the Desert Southwest in a jet stream.
This year El Nino was late to the party. Weather patterns along the equator did not start changing until September. A strong El Nino is usually in place by summer.
Brown calls this government-forecasted El Nino moderate in strength now, but building.
Brown says the federal government's "fearless forecast" calls for the wet El Nino weather pattern to continue early into 2007 and likely grow in intensity; therefore farmers can expect above normal precipitation this winter and into the spring in the U.S. Sunbelt.
If it is a strong El Nino, there is a 75-85 percent chance of above normal precipitation. If it is moderate, the chance of heavier than normal rain is just 50-65 percent.

Junior quarterback Kris Sabourin (Georgia, Vt.) got the Maroon and Gold going early with a 63-yard scoring scamper on the first play from scrimmage and added a 90-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter as part of a 229-yard, three rushing touchdown game. Senior running back Andrew Fulford (Gloucester, Mass.) was just as tough on the Spartan defense, recording 153 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Adding to the offense's story for first-year Coach Mark Murnyack's team was senior place-kicker Long Ding (Qing Dao, China) who hit field goals from 25 and 41 yards and added four extra points and freshman running back/wide receiver Derrick Pitts (Schnechtady, N.Y.) who had 52 yards receiving and 68 yards rushing.
Castleton State (1-4 overall, 1-2 ECFC) battled back in the second half behind the arm of senior quarterback Shane Brozowski but couldn't get closer than the final deficit. Brozowski threw for 329 yards and one touchdown but was kept on his toes by an aggressive Cadets' defense. Norwich knocked down five of his 59 attempts and forced nine hurries. Junior defensive lineman Matt Simonelli (Scituate, R.I.), sophomore defensive back Dan Gogan (Keansbury, N.J.) and junior defensive lineman Oliver Aurelia (Stratford, Conn.) each sacked Brozkowski as well.
Norwich's top tackler honor was shared by senior defensive backs Sean Stone (Wilder, Vt.) and Colby LeClerc (Raynham, Mass.) with eight each. They also combined for four and half of the team's nine tackles for losses. Gogan and Simonelli, who had 4.5 tackles apiece, finished with one and a half and one tackle for loss, respectively.
Murnyack's crew puts its three-game win streak on the line Saturday, Oct. 15, for a key ECFC clash with fellow league unbeaten Gallaudet. Kickoff is 1 p.m. at Sabine Field.
NOTES: The Cadets are now 3-0 all-time against their in-state rivals and have scored 40-or-more points in each case. … Norwich's 527 yards rushing were the most in a game for the program since the 2010 squad posted 556 in an 81-7 win over Anna Maria. … Sabourin's 226 yards on the ground were a career single-game high for the signal caller. It was the first 200-yard-plus game for a Cadets' rusher since Darnel Jackson carried for 209 against St. Lawrence in 2008. … Norwich's ECFC record ballooned to 16-2 with the win.

Service of Unity
The Catholic Church in Ireland will receive a much-needed boost of support when the International Eucharistic Congress meets in Dublin in June. In an interview last month, Archbishop Piero Marini, president of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses, said the congress will be characterized by humility and moderation. These are traits a church chastened by sexual abuse is wise to embrace. The congress will be characterized by a "lack of triumphalism," the archbishop said, and will be based "on interiority, on moderation." Prior to the Second Vatican Council, eucharistic processions were a popular feature of these meetings, and they served to highlight the power and influence of the church. Processions will still take place at this year's congress, but the focus will be on daily Mass. The congress will emphasize "the Second Vatican Council's teaching that communion is the center of the Eucharist, its primary aim," the archbishop said.
Planned in conjunction with the lay movement Focolare, the International Eucharistic Congress is expected to draw 80,000 people. The involvement of Focolare will surely help to energize the event. At a time of deep division within the church, in Ireland and elsewhere, a meditation on the unifying power of the Eucharist provides an essential service. Focolare deserves praise for organizing this event in their uniquely understated way. Their devotion to unity serves as a model for the whole church.
Transnational Justice
The demands of survivors for justice in the alleged killing by Staff Sergeant Robert Bales of 17 Afghan civilians, nine of them children, have quieted down. Still, Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has bitterly complained that the U.S. military has failed to cooperate with an Afghan delegation charged with investigating the killings, and he has ordered NATO troops out of Afghan villages and unilaterally advanced to 2013 the date for foreign troops to hand over responsibility for security to Afghan troops. If Mr. Karzai keeps his word, this will be the second time in a year that disagreements over military justice have led to the early departure of U.S. troops at the request of the host nation. Last year's failure to reach agreement with Iraq on jurisdiction over military offenses led to an unexpected full withdrawal of U.S. troops from that country.
In Afghanistan, as elsewhere, the United States has immunized military personnel from prosecution by a prior Status of Forces agreement. But in Afghanistan the death of civilians is already a neuralgic issue because of the unintended deaths of civilians in U.S. nighttime drone attacks, though many of them are carried out by the secret and legally insulated Central Intelligence Agency, not by the military.
The military conviction rate for the killing of civilians, in 30 out of 44 cases since 2001, suggests justice can be done. All the same, a great gulf divides Afghan justice under Shariah law and U.S. military justice, which may take years to deliver a verdict. In the meantime, something must be done to heal the breach created by civilian deaths.
As we go to press, news services report that on order of President Obama, the families of those killed in Kandahar have received $50,000 in compensation and those wounded $11,000. The standard compensation is $2,500. The size of these payments is appropriately large, officials say, because the victims were killed outside combat.
iPhone, Therefore I Am
Even as new analysis confirms that bilingualism actually makes people smarter, evidence emerges that U.S. teens are well along the path to a new language all their own. It is not clear, however, that speaking in text (you might know it as txtese or text talk) is likely to have as intellectually salubrious an effect on America's youth as, say, devoting themselves to Mandarin.
Texting has now become the preferred method of communication among U.S. teens. Pew researchers report that 63 percent of U.S. 14- to 17-year-olds are producing a median of 100 text messages each day. Texting is far and away the preferred form of teen communication, handily beating out those old-fashioned cellphones (39 percent), socializing outside of school (35 percent), social network site messaging (29 percent), talking on landlines (19 percent) and sending e-mail (6 percent).
What are they saying to each other? Who knows? Parents since Seneca have complained that they cannot understand their children's private language. How many parents, missing an anticipated call from a wayward offspring, have unsuccessfully pondered said child's Delphic explanation: "rnng 2 l8 4 chat; C U l8r."
All is not lost, however, as even the most ossified of parental cortices can, with a lttl wrk, be retooled for txt speak. A parent bold enough to reach out and txt someone may find texting a valuable line of communication with their kids.
LHM. That's "Lord have mercy" for you folks who have trouble reading the texts of the times.
I find it ironic that as technology expands the ways in which we communicate – from cable TV, to iPads and smart phones – we seem to be more isolated from each other, and our conversations become increasingly filled with prattle. Text messages seldom have substance – "OMG there she is!!!"- a metaphor for our escapism from facing the myriad issues about which Christians should be most concerned.

Re: help!
You're still not use to write your dreams, so you forget.
Make an intention before going to sleep. Like: "When i wake up i will write my dream." In time, you'll get use to it and don't need to make that intention.

Re: help!
I don't sit down and write essay length dreams in my dream journal in the middle of the night. Just scribble some key words down on a piece of paper beside your bed. You don't even have to get up. It's amazing how five to ten words can help jog your memory in the morning. Then you can use those words to help write out your dream in full detail in the morning.
If we all lucid dreamed this world would be a better place.

When you wake up just think through your dreams. That's what I do when I don't write my dreams. Sometimes I get up think, through my dreams, then go eat breakfast and write dreams down.

Re: help!
My tip to feeling like that would be to do a quick reality check at that time before you roll over and go back to sleep, pinch nose.. can you still breathe?. You may not even be properly awake! making it near impossible to make yourself write in a journal or follow throu with what you are wanting to do.
The only thing to fear is the fear itself

Police Caught Tasing Teen Without Warning
from the is-that-really-the-best-use? dept
Of course, if the whole thing weren't on videotape, most people would probably have taken the police officers' word on the story. But the video shows that he made no other effort to stop the fight, when it seems clear that he easily could have used less dangerous methods. Hell, by the time he gets to the area and shoots the kid with the taser, the two boys have already separated. He easily could have stopped the fight by stepping into the space between the two of them.

From Statesboro Blues, written by Willie McTell, sung by the Allman Brothers Band
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons have a couple of early morning wakeup calls this weekend as they participate in the Eagle Classic hosted by Georgia Southern in Statesboro, Ga.
Coach Kristin Ryman, whose team is 2-1 to start the season, doesn't want her players to have any reason to sing the blues in their second tournament of the season. The Lady Bisons play Oakland Friday at 9 a.m. followed by Binghamton at 11 a.m.
Saturday they play Georgia Southern at 11 a.m. Sunday's championship bracket times have not been announced.
Ryman admits she doesn't know very much about the teams the Lady Bisons are playing. But she knows that morning games offer a unique set of challenges.
"For a 9 a.m. game we leave the hotel around 7 if it is close to the field," Ryman said. "Breakfast is at 6:30 and they have to be there. We like to be at the field around two hours before the game starts. It does have a different feel to it, but as coaches we approach it the same way.
"The sun is not as much of a factor in morning games. So many of our players have played summer ball for years and they have played so many times in 8 a.m. tournament games. They love their sleep, but they have been through that so many times."
After watching the Lady Bisons in game conditions for three days Ryman and assistant coach Lexi Myers are stressing the need for more attention to details.
"We aren't as concerned about what these teams will bring to the table as much as we are with things on our end," Ryman said. "We are trying to take care of the little details from our side of things. If we are doing the little things then the big things are going to fall into place."
The Lady Bisons didn't have a great number of hits in the three games at the Mardi Gras Invitational in Mobile, Ala.; but they won their two games with clutch hits.
"The hits we had were at crucial times," Ryman said. "We executed bunts. We made key defensive plays when we needed to make them. We got big pitches when they were needed. It came down to those little things."
The Lady Bisons had nine hits in their only loss, a 3-2 decision to South Alabama. They held South Alabama to four hits. The Lady Bisons had four hits in their 3-0 win over Western Kentucky and five hits in their 4-2 victory over SIU-Edwardsville.
"We had a couple of crucial errors that led to their first run," Ryman said. "Alaina Jacobson hung one pitch that they capitalized on with a two-run home run.
"That's the life of a pitcher. They work so hard in practice on consistency and hitting the corners. In a game situation a pitcher misses by an inch and it can make a difference. We talk so much about the little detail things for that reason."
Ryman stressed the need to learn from the game and move on.
"The details have to be important to us," Ryman said. "If we don't make those details a priority in practice then we are not going to see that in a game.
"I have talked to a few of the girls about what they are thinking when they step in the box. Lexi has been talking to our pitchers about what they were thinking when they threw a certain pitch or what they were thinking at certain counts against a hitter. We want them to understand how big those little things really are."
Ryman stressed there were a lot of positives from the weekend as well.
"We learned a lot from last weekend, but we have to keep it in perspective that it is early in the season," Ryman said. "We are going to keep moving forward."

When the topic of Ocean Beach comes up, my ears perk up...
I lived on the Great Hwy (between Moraga and Noriega) for 12 years. I've surfed there for 35 years and windsurfed there for 20+. I've kited there for 4 seasons now.
Ocean Beach has many faces depending on wind, swell and tide. Some days there is a nice inside area where you can blast around, parallel to the beach without dealing with a bunch of whitewater or many breaking waves. Other days it's a cat and mouse game where you're dodging bulldozer thick, overhead double-ups, which break really, really hard. Toss in 25-35 Knot wind, usually straight on-shore and it makes getting through the beach break just a little bit entertaining.
The trouble with the place is that it can be hard to see which kind of day it is from the parking lot or even the beach. With all the time I've spent in the water there, I've been surprised as I'm riding out on my first few tacks at how gnarly it can be, when I thought it looked pretty mellow from the car.
I've always said about kiting: "It's all good, until it isn't." You might see a bunch of guys riding OB and making it look relatively easy. But you have to plan for when things go wrong and it's really easy for things to go really wrong, really, really fast. Throw some overhead, slamming beach break into the mix, add some kite lines wrapped all around you and you're screwed.
OB is no place for a beginner kiter.
When you're up and riding comfortably, both directions with a really solid 95+%, tack to the other direction on flat water, you're starting to be ready to play around with surf - at places like Dillon, small Waddell, Pismo. A side or side-onshore spot is much easier to get out through the surf than straight on-shore.
I remember my first few outings in the surf with a kite - it was like the whole past experience of riding on flat water was now 2D - the waves add the 3rd dimension and it's really, really fun!

Charles H. Simmons, 32, of Stuttgart has been taken into custody in the radio station's theft, according to SPD.
Another Stuttgart business is reporting a theft to Stuttgart Police Department. Although, the employee reporting the Miller portable welder that was stolen gave officers a large window of when the item was taken — between Jan. 1 and Jan. 28.
On Monday SPD Ptl. Paul Hofstad spoke with a Riceland Foods Soy Division Sample House employee who said someone stole the welder that was bolted to a small black trailer, located on the North Park Avenue property. The welder was not being used daily and the employee did not notice it missing until it came time to service the equipment.
The welder costs approximately $4,000, which could lead to a felony charge of theft greater than $2,500. No suspects were named in Hofstad's incident report that was released Wednesday.
This is the fourth business to report a break-in or stolen property within the past week and a half.
SPD officers responded to S&W Produce, located at 101 W. 13th, at 4:58 a.m. Saturday after someone cut a padlock from a door at the business.
