Honeybees, the new urban dwellers
"Honeybees play a vital role in many areas of our lives – they pollinate our crops and medicinal plants – but their population has decreased by 30% since 2008. Could our towns and cities now provide them with a safe haven?
Major cities around the world such as London, New York, Hong Kong and Paris are encouraging bees to set up home in the city. Rooftops, small urban gardens and even balconies are providing potential safe-havens for honeybees, our newest and, in many ways, most-important urban dwellers.
The future of mankind is dependent on the survival of the bee.
Honeybees are responsible for pollinating 80% of our food crops worldwide, therefore risks to their health threaten our own food security. Many medicines, an enormous part of our textile industry and, of course, perfumes and cosmetics also rely on flowers and plants that are pollinated by bees.
In short we have the honeybee to thank for the basic components of our daily lives, from the food we eat and the drugs we need, to the clothes we wear – and that's without beginning to consider items of luxury.
However, the honeybee population has decreased by 30% since 2008 and the reasons for their poor health are multifaceted. Today the rural environment poses severe health risks to bees through intensive farming methods and the use of pesticides.
"Mono crop" farming means that many bees now have a "mono pollen diet". This could be detrimental to their health as pollen provides bees with protein; as each pollen variety contains different nutrients that are needed to maintain good health, missing out on certain nutrients leaves bees vulnerable to diseases.
Bees that miss out on a balanced diet can also become more susceptible to parasites, such as the varroa mite, or colony collapse disorder, which is believed to be caused by a combination of fungal and viral infections.
Such threats mean the honeybee could potentially have a better chance of survival in urban environments.
City living potentially provides a rich and varied source of pollen that gives bees all the nutrients and enzymes they require for their good health.
Bees that live in the city may also benefit from new kinds of beehive designs that have been created specifically for urban bees.
This growth in the urban honeybee population, and the need for it to be encouraged, calls for not only new type of homes which are suitable for beekeeping, but also a complete re-examination of our relationship with honeybees where they live beside us and we welcome their presence."

When a bird sings, it's telling you what it is and where it is.
Learn bird calls and open a new window on your birding.
You can only see straight ahead, but you can hear in all directions at once. Learning
bird songs is a great way to identify birds hidden by dense foliage, faraway birds,
birds at night, and birds that look identical to each other. In fact, when biologists
count birds in the field, the great majority of species are heard rather
than seen.
Learning calls and songs helps you in two ways: First, you can do a quick survey
of what's around before you're even out of the parking lot. And second, when you
hear something you don't recognize, you know where to put your attention.
Owls and nightjars are obvious examples of the usefulness of hearing in identification.
Another great example are the dozen or so confusing flycatchers in the Empidonax
group. These birds look so similar they're sometimes impossible to identify even
in the hands of a bird bander with a precise set of measurement calipers. But all that uncertainty vanishes as soon as they
open their mouths.
When you see a bird singing, the connection between bird and song tends to stick in your mind.
It's much harder to learn bird songs from scratch than to have a fellow bird watcher point them out to you. Check for a nearby bird club or Audubon chapter and join a field trip.
Start by listening to recordings of birds you see often. Play them often to make the sounds stick. Our online bird guide has more than 600 sounds you can listen to, with thousands more available in a searchable format at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library. You can also purchase regional audio guides produced by the Macaulay Library.
Some songs almost sound like words – who can mistake the Barred Owl's "Who cooks for you all?" Mnemonics can make a song a snap to remember.
Break the song apart into its different qualities, including rhythm, pitch, tone, and repetition. As you listen to the birds around you and study the recordings, try placing the songs in different categories as shown below.
When you first listen to a dawn chorus in full swing, the sheer onslaught of bird song can be overwhelming. How does anyone start to pick apart the chirps, whistles, and trills that are echoing out of the woods? The answer, of course, is to concentrate on one bird at a time – and that approach holds true when you're trying to learn individual songs, too.
Don't try to memorize each entire song you hear. Instead, focus on one quality of the sound at a time. Many birds have a characteristic rhythm, pitch, or tone to their song. Once you zero in on it, you'll have a better sense of the bird's identity. When you combine these characters, you can narrow things down even further. Here are a few examples:
Get used to a bird's characteristic tempo. Marsh Wrens sing in a hurry, while White-throated Sparrows are much more leisurely.
Most birds sing in a characteristic range, with smaller birds (like the Cedar Waxwing) typically having higher voices and larger birds (like the Common Raven) usually having deeper voices. Many bird songs change pitch, as in the Prairie Warbler's rising, buzzy song or the Canyon Wren's sweet descending whistles. Some birds are distinctive for having steady voices, like the Chipping Sparrow's trill.
Some birds characteristically repeat syllables or phrases before moving on to a new sound. Northern Mockingbirds do this many times in a row. Though Brown Thrashers sound similar, they typically repeat only twice before changing to a new syllable
The tone of a bird's song is sometimes hard to describe, but it can be very distinctive. To begin with, pay attention to whether a bird's voice is a clear whistle, harsh or scratchy, liquid and flute-like, or a clear trill. If you can remember the quality of a bird's voice, it can give you a clue to the bird's identity even if the bird doesn't sing the same notes every time. Here are a few examples:
White-throated Sparrows have clear, pure whistles that show up on a spectrogram as straight lines. As the pitch of the song drops, the lines show up lower on the graph.

This sparrow's song is much more jumbled. The spectrogram lets you see the sharp introductory notes and the trills and whistles that follow it.

The cardinal's song is a series of sweet, slurred whistles. Watch the curving lines on the graph as you listen to the pitch changing.

Some bird calls, like this woodpecker's kwirr, sound nothing like a whistle. The spectrogram shows these kinds of sounds are mixtures of many pitches at once. The graph helps pick apart those subtle details.

The American Goldfinch's long, varied song lets you see how lots of different sounds look when they're translated into a spectrogram.
© Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Recorded by Arthur A. Allen (the Lab's founder) and Randolph Scott Little in New York and Ohio. Sound and spectrogram courtesy Macaulay Library and the Birds of North America
Ever wish you could "see" a sound so you could study its details? Spectrograms allow you to do just that. They're simple graphs that show you the frequency, or pitch, of a sound, its loudness, and how these change over the course of the sound. With a little practice, they can reveal much more about a sound than your ears could ever detect on their own.
In the spectrograms at the right, you can read the sounds almost like you might read a sheet of music. The higher the marks on the graph, the higher the pitch of the sound. The brightness of the marks indicate how loud the sound is at that moment: blue means fairly quiet; green and yellow are loud. As you move from left to right on the graph you move farther along in the bird's song.
Try the sound player to hear – and see – five examples of common bird songs. Start with the simple, clear whistles of a White-throated Sparrow. Then compare that to the chips and trills of a Song Sparrow. You can see each note in the trill, and see differences in how each chip is made. You can also look at the more complicated whistles of a Northern Cardinal and study the makeup of a Red-bellied Woodpecker's harsh kwirr call. Finish with the aural smorgasbord of an American Goldfinch's 25-second song.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Life in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip
fluctuates between poverty and wealth.
On the one hand the people are being
abused by the manipulation of oil prices, and
on the other the tunnel business has become
a Palestinian "startup." Nowadays real estate
deals are under the control of the new tunnel
millionaires. For one person the Strip is hell;
for another it is a place of unlimited possibilities.
For the poorer sectors of society, their problems are conveniently blamed on Israel, both for local and international consumption. And few dare to speak out regarding the truth of their situation.
"You have no idea how afraid we are
of Hamas," a Gazan man from
Khan Younis told Israel Today. "Anyone who dares raise
his voice is immediately silenced."

1983-84 Winnipeg Jets Dale Hawerchuk Jersey
Dale Hawerchuk scored 103 points for the Cornwall Royals of the QMJHL in 1979-80 and followed up his stellar rookie season with another astonishing 45 points in 18 playoff games from 20 goals and 25 assists to lead the Royals in playoff scoring on their way to the 1980 Memorial Cup championship. He was subsequently named as the league's Rookie of the Year and Playoff MVP.
Still too young to be drafted, Hawerhcuk returned for a second season with the Royals, leading not only the team but the entire QMJHL with 81 goals and 102 assists for 183 points in just 72 games, an average of over 2.5 points per game. He tied with future NHL head coach Marc Crawford to lead the Royals in playoff points with 35 as the Royals became back-to-back Memorial Cup champions.
Hawerchuk was then named the Memorial Cup MVP as well as the QMJHL Player of the Year as well as the CHL Player of the Year, making him the prime pick in the upcoming draft.
That same season Hawerchuk made his international debut for Canada, playing in the 1981 World Junior Tournament, making a name for himself with 5 goals and 9 points in 5 games.
Thanks to their distant last place finish during their second season of play in the NHL following the demise of the WHA, the Winnipeg Jets were in prime position to select Hawerchuk with the first overall pick in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft.
Hawerchuk did not disappoint, leading the Jets to an NHL record 48 point single season improvement in the standings thanks to a team leading 45 goals and 103 points, making him the youngest player to ever reach 100 points. Additionally, he played in that season's NHL All-Star Game and won the Calder Trophy as the league's Rookie of the Year.
Following the Jets early exit from the playoffs, he made his World Championships debut, scoring three times on his way to earning a bronze medal.
Another 40 goal season followed in 1982-83 before he reeled off five consecutive seasons of 100 points or more, highlighted by his stellar 1984-85 season of 53 goals and 77 assists for 130 points, all career highs, which saw him finish 3rd in the NHL scoring race. His 50th goal in 1985 made him the first Jets player to ever score 50 goals in a season in a 5-5 tie against the Chicago Black Hawks. This was also the same season when Hawerchuk was named as the Jets team captain.
During that stretch of 100+ point seasons from 1983-84 to 1987-88, Hawerchuk also participated in the 1986 World Championships (6 points in 8 games, earning a second bronze medal), Rendez-vous '87, in which a team of NHL All-Stars took part in a two game series against the Soviet Union, and the prestigious 1987 Canada Cup, during which he scored 4 goals and 6 points in 9 games as Canada emerged victorious.
While his streak of 100 point seasons would end in 1988-89 with "just" 96 points, he would extend his streak of consecutive 40 goal seasons to five. With the Jets missing the playoffs, Hawerchuk would captain Team Canada at the 1989 World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, totaling 12 points in 10 games as the Canadians brought home a silver medal.
He would play one final season in Winnipeg before being traded to the Buffalo Sabres, along with a first round draft pick (which became Brad May) , in a blockbuster trade for Phil Housely, former Royals teammate Scott Arniel, Jeff Parker and Buffalo's first round pick, which the Jets used to select Keith Tkachuk.
Hawerchuk's goal scoring in Buffalo not approach is totals in Winnipeg, but his playmaking skills would come to the fore, as he helped set up snipers such as Dave Andreychuk, Pierre Turgeon, Alexander Mogilny and Pat LaFontaine, which allowed him to lead the club in scoring in 1991, 1992 and 1994, with a high of 98 points in 1991-92.
Prior to his second season with Buffalo, Hawerchuk made his final international appearance, skating once again for Team Canada at the 1991 Canada Cup, contributing 5 points in 8 games as the Canadians again won the tournament for the second time in his career.
For the 1995-96 season, Hawerchuk signed as a free agent with the St. Louis Blues, where he played 66 games of the 1995-96 season, which included his 500th NHL goal before a trade to the Philadelphia Flyers for the final 16 games of the season. He would return to the Flyers for the final season of his career in 1996-97, although he was limited to 51 games of the regular season, Hawerchuk closed out his career with the longest playoff run of his career which concluded with his only appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Hawerchuk's final NHL totals were 518 goals and 891 assists for 1,409 points, which still ranks as #18 all-time 15 years after his retirement.
Following his career, it was announced on this date in 2001 that Hawerchuk would be one of that year's inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He also had his #10 retired by the relocated Jets, now known as the Phoenix Coyotes, in 2007 and named to the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame in 2011.
Today's featured jersey is a 1983-84 Winnipeg Jets Dale Hawerchuk jersey. This style Jets jersey was first worn in 1979-80 as the Jets marked a new era in franchise history as they gained entry into the NHL. This style would be worn through 1989-90 when the club changed to a new style, and would be the only style worn by Hawerchuk while a member of the Jets.
Bonus jersey: Today's bonus jersey is a 1989 Team Canada Dale Hawerchuk jersey as he captained Canada to a silver medal at the World Championships. This jersey was produced by Tackla and featured the company's diamond shape logo along the shoulders. Tackla supplied jerseys for the World Juniors, the World Championships and the Olympics from 1987 to 1993.
Today's video section begins with one of our favorite videos of all time, Les Dale Hawerchuks performing their utterly brilliant song "Dale Hawerchuk".
Next, an extended look at the playing career of Hawerchuk.

He remembered white frame buildings: Bruce School, Lake Providence School, East Springfield and Lake Providence churches, Turner Brothers Funeral Home, the Hot Inn, Owens Barber Shop, and other locations in the Black neighborhoods of Gilmer and Upshur County. He remembered Doc's Hot Links and other stores on the eastern edge of Gilmer where thriving black-owned businesses catered to a segregated community.
He also remembered a packing plant with the locker plant where his brother, Freddie King, worked to earn his first guitar. With the country blues he learned from his uncle Linon King he would go to Chicago, explore the South- side Blues clubs, and develop a style which has influenced the Blues ever since.
Benny Turner, a Blues musician living and performing in New Orleans, has traveled the world since that first exploratory trip to Chicago with his mother and his brother, Freddie King.
His first trips to Europe were with the big brother who took him with him as a bass guitarist in his band.
Now the baby brother was back with his publicist, Sallie Bengtson. Together they were going to write a book on Benny Turner's life with Freddie King.
First, Turner met with two Gilmer men who were classmates of his brothers when they attended Bruce School, Melvin and Norris Webb. Melvin brought with him to the meeting photos that were made where local African Americans gathered to eat, shop, dance, and otherwise relax together. Another photo was of a cousin as the escort to the homecoming queen. Memories flooded forth as the three men talked.
Turner told how Freddie got in trouble at Lake Providence School and Alton Granville made an example of him, spanking him in front of the student body at the small common school. He learned another teacher at the school, Mrs. Ruby Granville, was still alive at 95 and living in a nursing home.
Melvin Webb led the visitors to Lake Providence were they found Willie and Melba Moore at home. After learning the vacant lot at the corner of FM1650 and FM726 was the location where the school once existed, the Moores led Turner and others to the East Springfield Church and cemetery.
Finally, Benny Turner found a permanent marker from his past, the gravestone of Uncle Linon "Lonnie" King, the man who taught everyone in the family who wanted how to play the guitar. The church, now bricked over, looked different, but the wintry graveyard rang true to memory. He left the spot planning to return after a marker is placed on his mother's empty spot.
At Bruce School, Turner had his picture made by the sign in front of the new brick school. Nothing remains of the white frame building where he jumped out of a second-story window when frightened by dynamite exploding during the construction of what is now Hwy. 300.
From there he traveled to Vinegar Hill, where the six members of the family lived in a small frame house. The home on Miller Street was gone, a vacant lot, like so many other houses which stood 65 years ago in the then-crowded neighborhood.
Next stop was the location of the locker and packing plant where Freddie earned his first guitar—now a multi-business complex.
Before leaving town, Turner made one more stop. He visited Mrs. Ruby Granville, and they talked together about teaching the brothers so many years ago.
For Turner and Ms. Bengtson, Chicago is the next stop on their pilgrimage of places where Freddie King and Benny Turner played the blues together.
It has already been almost 40 years since Freddie took ill after a gig in Dallas and died at Presbyterian Hospital on Christmas, 1976. But his influence lives on, and together they seek to bring those years alive again. The first stage of the journey has been completed.

So, of course, I decided to do a bit of googling to find out if any of "my" terrorists were included in the list. Not the actual bomber, of course. The last I heard, she was still dead. Rather, her handlers. You see, of course the government is claiming that we will not release them, but (let us be real) at some point in the not-so-distant-future, the government will cave and do just that.
Well, they are not listed. Of course, this means nothing. They may be dead. They may be at large. They may be in the okay-to-trade list. They may have already been traded.
This means nothing at all.
This is what I want to know. We strike a deal. We make a trade. Six months later, one of the okay-to-trade guys manages to blow up a bus. What does Noam Shalit intend to say to the parents of the victims?
Has he thought of that at all? Okay, he is a parent--he cannot be expected to. But our government can. And it should.

Andy Brimm '09by Andy Brimm '09 • October 19, 2005 Share:
To say that going to Mississippi to help in the hurricane relief effort hit home is a truth in more than one sense. The hurricane actually did hit my home town of Pascagoula, Ms. and the willing response to help from the Wabash community touched my heart as well.
My house, along with most of my family member's houses, was greatly damaged by the flood water from hurricane Katrina. Even though I had seen pictures of the damage before hand, seeing the disaster in person was still awe striking.
The attitudes of my fellow Wabash students, however, were very uplifting. Their willingness to help, energy, and work ethic sent a message of hope to me and everyone in the area. We successfully gutted my great-aunt's house, a task that my family did not have the resources to do and probably saved my great-aunt thousands of dollars. It was hard work, but with the atmosphere created by Wabash men, we hardly noticed.
The experience went further than just good feelings and hard work. To see everyone's homes destroyed and home-owners reactions to the realization that the insurance company would not pay for any of the damage caused by the floods, was incredible. The tears of neighbors sent a feeling that "yeah we are working, but this isn't enough," into everyone's hearts. This feeling helped motivate everyone to work harder and to accomplish a good deal with such a small group.
The devastation and work ethic were not the only moving factors of the trip. The gratitude of the victims and the self-knowledge that we made a difference in a lot of people's lives was also very satisfying. After finishing a job, hearing all the people say "Thank you" and "We don't know what we would have done if you weren't here," sent a feeling of joy and accomplishment to all. And I think I speak for everyone by saying we wish the break was a lot longer so we could have made more of a difference in more people's lives.

- XA/2-Phase Commit support
- Native online backup Driver
Online backup is really cool! I have heard that it may soon be released in a coming version of 5.4, so lets hope that this is true.
In a little test, I did a backup of a 10GB database in 49.26 seconds! Admitedly this was on a system with 4 15K drives in a RAID 0 configuration. But that is still a fantastic, considering the tables are not even locked during this time!
The database itself took 19 min. 56 sec. to generate. A complete restore took only 14 min. 29 sec.
But, it gets even better....
I have been working on PBXT 1.1, where I have done a number of things to improve the I/O performance of the engine.
In the same test as above, run with PBXT 1.1, the time to generate the database was 9 min. 35 sec., and the time to restore was 6 min 18 sec! (Time to generate the backup was identical.)
PBXT 1.1 is available directly from Launchpad here: lp:~pbxt-core/pbxt/staging, if you are interested in trying it out. 1.1 also has full support for memory based tables.
The new release candidate (PBXT 1.0.09) can be downloaded from primebase.org/download. It is also available from Lauchpad as the rc3 series: lp:pbxt/rc3.
Please report bugs here.
Any feedback is welcome! You can use Launchpad questions or the PBXT mailing list for this purpose.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Senior Adults Gaining Enrichment (SAGE), an outreach program of Penn State Lehigh Valley, has announced the schedule for its fall 2013 four-part lecture series. Each SAGE session begins with coffee at 10:30 a.m., the featured speaker at 11 a.m., and lunch at noon. All SAGE lectures are held in room 135 at Penn State Lehigh Valley in Center Valley.
The fall schedule is as follows:
Sept. 13 – Beverly Bley, licensed practical nurse
"Chapter 7 – The Best Part of the Story"
As we age, relationships change, values and perceptions are reviewed and adjusted, future plans are revised. Bley's talk will cover ways to find humor in the complexities and vulnerabilities of our lives.
Oct. 4 – Ellie Laubner
"Flappers and their Famous Fashion"
Lehigh Valley collector Ellie Laubner offers her insight into the fashions that allowed the New Woman of the 20s to brazenly give tradition a cold and often bare shoulder as she moved forward into the 20th century. Laubner has been on a 30-year quest to acquire clothing and accessories that reflect the styles, events and sociological changes taking place in our society.
Nov. 1 – The Holocaust Resource Center of the Lehigh Valley
Genocide continues to impact our world today. In observation of the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, this lecture will explore the nature of bigotry, hate crimes and genocide through the lens of the Holocaust.
Dec. 6 – Peter Behrens, assistant professor of psychology, Penn State Lehigh Valley
"Early 20th Century Psychology on the Radio"
Consider the psychological impact of Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds." Behrens will share his research findings as they relate to the history of American radio psychology from its early days in the late 1920s through the Depression.
The cost of each lecture, including lunch, is $20; or attend all four for $60. The mission of SAGE is to encourage intellectual and cultural enrichment for seniors, 55 and older, by providing a stimulating college-level lecture, workshop and seminar environment through a self-funded, self-directed and member-driven program.

PARIS, France (CNN) -- French Internet users who download files illegally could have their service cut off under a new law enacted by the French government.
French filmmaker Luc Besson attended the vote passing the new law into action.
The "three strikes and you're out" law will see violators getting up to two warnings before their Internet service providers could be allowed to cut service for as long as a year.
The tough new legislation sailed through the French Senate this week, even as opponents promised to continue to fight it in the courts.
The law sets up a special government anti-piracy agency to monitor "internauts," as French Internet users are called. It will ensure users are paying for movies and music that they download.
While there are countries with stricter penalties such as jail time, in France opponents of the law are angry that the new government agency will be outside the judicial process. That means it can disconnect Internet service without oversight.
Opponents of the law worry the government agency could be packed with over zealous enforcers who will side with filmmakers and the recording industry, or even invade the privacy of Internet users.
The legislation has split France's political opposition, which protested against the new law.
The political left -- traditionally supported by performers and artists -- found that on this issue the creative types were on the government's side, seeing the legislation as a way to protect the intellectual rights that are the foundation of their livelihood.
Though the new law still faces a court test and may not be compatible with European legislation, the government plans to have the agency up and running by next year.

For your second summer, your best strategy is to work somewhere, anywhere that might be able to hire you after law school. If the employer doesn't hire fresh law grads, or it's post-grad hiring is vastly more competitive than a 2L summer internship, I would seek 2L summer employment elsewhere.
I agree that with your credentials as they stand now you are extremely unlikely to get a federal appellate clerkship. Why is a clerkship important to you? You said that you wanted to do a federal appellate clerkship before moving on to "bigger things". Do the "bigger things" require a federal appellate clerkship? A federal appellate clerkship is a great experience, but there are few positions for which that is the only route. Law professor maybe.As far as getting a job as a SA, I'm not sure your prospects are quite as bad as others might have suggested. I work at a 200+ atty, mid-size city firm, and we would certainly not dismiss a candidate with your credentials without any consideration. Not being on a journal will not hurt you as much in the law firm search as you might be led to believe by those at law school. I would just make sure that you have something else to point to that you did productive in lieu of being on a journal.To get back to your specific question. The best chance you have at getting a federal appellate clerkship, like someone else said already, is going to be through connections. I think you could make those connections either by working directly for a judge or by working at a larger law firm if you seek out attorneys at that firm that did clerkships and do really great work for them. Maybe they will put in a good word for you with their judge. But as I already said, I think your prospects for fed app clerkship are slim.

Another thing he was able to do was win at both the quarter-mile distance and the eighth-mile. "I went to Pomona two years ago and until I went back this year I hadn't run a single race on a quarter-mile track," he said. "Around here we do exclusively eighth-mile racing." When he says "around here" he is referring to his home track of Thunder Valley Raceway in Oklahoma, a track that he has called home for a while. "There are some pretty good racers here and they'll get you ready for just about anything." I guess that's true because it got him ready for seven tough rounds at the Division 4 Summit Series ET finals in Dallas and then three more rounds at Pomona. "The people in Pomona are all so good and I guess it was just my day. To be honest with you I think I did a better job of driving the first time I was there but things just didn't work out then." Well, they did this year!
To be good at bracket racing you need to be great at both ends of the track, that is, you need to have a good reaction time and be able to judge the finish line, and while most racers will tell you they are looking for that great "00" reaction time Alvie has a different philosophy. "I figured if I had a "30" light and ran the number I would be ok. Well, I tried that at Dallas in the gambler's race and had a "31" on the tree, ran on the number and lost." After some soul searching about the game plan, he decided not to change the plan of attack. "The next day in the first round of the big race, the guy put a "000"
In 2011 when he went to Pomona Alvie said that his father and brother were able to join him, but this year it was just him and his wife. "I had a motor home the last time but we sold it, so this year it was just us, the car and the trailer. On the way to Pomona I didn't want to leave my car in some hotel parking lot so we slept at the rest stop." And when I asked him how long a drive it was from Oklahoma City to Pomona he said. "Too long!!" And then he added, "It's funny, when I went to MapQuest and put it in it said that it was exactly 1,320 miles. I thought that was funny for a guy who races on the eighth-mile."

'Goonies' fans descend on Oregon town to celebrate movie's 25th anniversary
Monday, June 7, 2010
ASTORIA, ORE. -- There is a compulsion, a yearning, a force that causes people to drive to this remote village, up the rocky coastline and through the hilly streets in weather that is almost always damp. They park near the olde shoppes and the gingerbread Victorians, walk to the cream house with purple trim, and then, as if fulfilling a destiny that has shaped every moment of their lives, they raise their shirts, they shake their belly fat, and they do the Truffle Shuffle.
"Oh, sure," says Regina Willkie of Astoria's Chamber of Commerce. "They all want to make sure they go to Mikey's house, do the Shuffle. It's just something that clicks with people."
This is devotion in its purest form, built on so very little, just a 114-minute movie filmed here and released in June 1985. Since, there's been almost nothing to fan the flames of fandom -- no resuscitated spinoffs, a la "Star Wars" or "Star Trek." Years ago there was a board game (but who bought it?) and a Nintendo game (but who still owns the console?). There are always talks of a sequel that will never materialize. Still the fans come, this anniversary weekend especially, to celebrate their love of "The Goonies."
* * *
"The Goonies" turns 25 on Monday. Goonies never say die.
"The Goonies" are . . . how to explain them if you were not born in the '70s or '8os, the sweet spot of obsession? They were a club of seven misfits, including a fat kid (Chunk -- forced to perform the indignity of the Truffle Shuffle on command), a loudmouth and a gadget whiz. They all went on a treasure hunt below the earth to find a missing pirate ship and to escape the Fratelli brothers -- cons who kept their mutant sibling, Sloth, locked in the basement, when all he wanted was a Baby Ruth.
A few years ago, when Willkie realized that people were coming from as far away as Japan to see the sites of the movie, she planned a 25th anniversary celebration. During this four-day extravaganza, the town's usual population of 10,000 has swelled to she doesn't even know how high.
All of the hotel rooms are full. All of the bus tours are sold out. The autograph lines for the cast meet 'n' greets are five hours long. Hundreds of fans trip blissfully from costume contests to quiz nights. It's like a stoner-free "Big Lebowski" fest. They greet each other on the street with "Hey, you Guu-uuuys!" -- the official greeting of the Goonies.
Anyone who understands the meaning of the Goonies -- friendship, adventure, awesomeness -- is, by definition, also a Goonie.
"She's totally a Goonie," Michael Morris says of his wife, Carolina. How does he know? "All the other girls are like, 'I want a big wedding,' but she suggested we come here." They traveled from New Orleans to be married Friday night on the Goonies beach. That is a Goonie move.
Brothers Jesse and Jeremy Horst drove across the country from Buffalo in homemade Chunk and Sloth costumes. That is a Goonie move.
At one point or another, all fans end up at the house inhabited by Mikey, played by a pre-"Lord of the Rings" Sean Astin.

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke's Jabari Parker was named ACC Rookie of the Week for the fourth consecutive week and the eighth time overall after leading Duke to a 69-67 win over Maryland Saturday. He scored a game-high 23 points and added eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and a steal in the win over the Terrapins.
The Chicago native knocked down a pair of 3-point field goals and went 9-of-10 from the free throw line as Duke overcame a late three-point deficit to earn its 20th win of the season. Parker was at his best down the stretch making game-winning plays on both ends of the floor in the final five minutes of play. With Duke trailing, 60-59, with just over 4:30 remaining, Parker picked up a loose ball and found Rasheed Sulaimon for a three-point field goal to give Duke a one-point lead. With 1:17 remaining and Duke trailing by one, Parker pulled through from the left wing for an emphatic dunk between three Maryland defenders to give Duke a 68-67 lead. He added a defensive rebound with 59 seconds left and recorded a block with five seconds remaining as Duke's defense held Maryland scoreless over the final 2:45 of play.
Parker now has 15 20-point games, tied for the third-most by a freshman in league history. He has 10 total ACC weekly honors, having been named ACC Rookie of the Week eight times and ACC Player of the Week twice. Georgia Tech's Kenny Anderson (1990) and North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough (2006) share the record for ACC Rookie of the Week selections with 10.

Local volunteers offer help to traumatized veterans who have to re-adjust to life outside of war.
A U.S. military veteran takes his or her own life every 80 minutes.
That�s the latest estimate from the U.S. Veterans Administration, showing that as the war in Iraq has ended and American involvement in Afghanistan draws to a close, the war at home is just beginning for many vets.
�We�ve been assisting with a lot of referrals, but as far as mental health goes, it�s been very serious,� said Veterans Challenge Director Debby Guthrie. �I don�t think people realize how serious it is here in this area, and everywhere.�
Veterans Challenge represents a group of local volunteers who seek to help military veterans of all ages and experience receive the help they need. With returning veterans, many of whom served multiple tours overseas, readjusting to life outside of a war zone isn�t something many people can do on their own.
�To be prepared for combat and stay away for that long, it�s like always chemically and adrenaline-ready � doesn�t matter if they�re just having a conversation, playing volleyball or eating dinner, they�ve got to be ready to hit the deck or watching out for IEDs,� Guthrie said. �They�re always in that half-cocked mode, is what I like to call it; trigger-ready.�
She explained this isn�t a new development, as other local vets have described their experiences coming home.
�To be in that mode, even though they may be calm, having a conversation, they�re ready to jump, were something to happen. Even if it�s a few years later,� Guthrie said. �World War II veterans are saying the same thing, Korean veterans, the same thing � especially Vietnam. You hear it a lot.�
For vets looking for or looking into treatment options, Veterans Challenge has been working with Dr. Harold McMillion at the VA�s Vet Center in Greenville. He�s working to put together therapy groups for combat veterans by creating a place of familiarity and comfort to better advance the therapeutic process. Guthrie said McMillion is in the process of creating a combat veterans group in Kinston.
But treating the soldier, sailor, airman or Marine is only one part of a larger puzzle. Starting first with counseling children of returning vets, Martha Cobb of New Vision Christian Counseling works with Veterans Challenge to address the well-being of the family as a whole.
�In a family, since a family is a unit, if any person is experiencing an issue, it�s going to impact the entire family,� Cobb said. �So, you can�t just treat one person without being successful. It�s going to involve providing support and technique for the entire family so they can deal with the issue. It�s not going to work if you�re just isolated and dealing with one person.�
Cobb said when a mother or father is deployed � especially for multiple tours of duty � children can feel a sense of abandonment. Combined with anxiety over media reports about troops in harm�s way, there�s already an issue that needs to be addressed before the parent returns home. Perhaps the most important lesson, though, is to treat therapy as an on-going process, not a one-and-done fix.
�With the veteran themselves, the issue of re-experiencing the trauma, how to work through it and understanding that it�s all a process � that it may take a year, sometimes, to feel a wholeness,� Cobb said.

The military judge in the court martial of Bradley Manning (shown) found the Army PFC who sent hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks not guilty of the most serious charge against him, aiding the enemy. A conviction on that charge would have left Manning, 25, facing a possible life sentence without possibility of parole. He was found guilty on several other charges, however, and likely faces many more years behind bars, following his detention in a military prison since his arrest in July 2010. His sentencing hearing is scheduled to begin Wednesday.
The judge, Col. Denise Lind, on July 30 found Manning guilty of five counts of theft, five counts of espionage, a computer fraud charge and other infractions. The defendant had requested that a judge, not a jury, determine the verdict. He faces a potential maximum sentence of 128 years for those charges.
Manning pleaded guilty in February to misuse of classified information and could face up to 20 years in prison for that offense alone. The Army PFC was an intelligence analyst stationed in Iraq, where he used his knowledge of computer operations to gain access to secret government documents. The materials he turned over to WikiLeaks included footage of a 2007 U.S. Army helicopter attack in Iraq that killed at least nine civilians, including a Reuters newsman. The video was put on YouTube and went viral, creating outrage over the killings and adding fuel to opposition to the U.S. role In Iraq. Other documents released are said to have included information about U.S. combat operations and treatment of prisoners.
Manning faced 21 charges related to his turning over of some 700,000 documents to WikiLeaks, a website dedicated to exposing government secrets. He acknowledged his unauthorized disclosure of classified material, but said he didn't believe the information would harm troops in Afghanistan and Iraq or threaten national security.
His two-month long trial ended last week, as military prosecutor Major Ashden Fein charged in his closing statement that Manning is a traitor who joined the Army for the purpose of stealing government documents, having them published, and then enjoying fame and adulation as a whistleblower. Manning's lawyer, David Combs, argued that the defendant was a soldier troubled by what he saw his government doing in Iraq.
The verdict and sentence will be reviewed by the commander of the Military District of Washington.

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 26, 2002 -- Congressman Joe Skeen, R-NM, said today he will make his Congressional and campaign papers available to the public when he leaves office at the end of this year. Congressman Skeen's collection of papers will be housed at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, New Mexico.
"The collection of documents from my service in the U.S. House of Representatives will provide historians and researchers with an opportunity to review public policy issues and decisions from a congressional perspective," Skeen said.
Skeen is retiring after 22 years in Congress. He was first elected in 1980 after a write-in campaign, becoming only the third person in U.S. history to win a seat in Congress without being on the ballot. He easily won re-election every two years since.
He is a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee and is Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on the Interior. As such he is known as one of the Cardinals in the House of Representatives because the appropriations subcommittee chairmen preside over the legislation that funds all measures that go through Congress.
"Future historians may be able to use the documents to see how a Congressional office operated in the last part of the 20th Century and the first part of the 21st," Skeen said. " I want to thank New Mexico Tech in Socorro for taking on the logistics of this project."
The papers range from letters of congratulation sent to New Mexicans over the years to correspondence between Skeen and several Presidents. There are also papers dealing with the details of legislation Skeen worked on in Congress as well as letters explaining his position on countless measures considered by the House during his tenure.
Boxes of documents and memorabilia will begin being shipped to New Mexico Tech in the near future.

Here's one story about the West Baltimore corner of North Monroe and Mosher streets: On May 21, three people were shot: one in the head, one in the chest, one in the leg.
Here's a better story about that corner. One day, a teen known as Q-Ball was walking with his brother and a friend when a skinny white boy named Alan emerged from a rowhouse and said, "Hey, do you all wanna destroy a microwave?"
"This guy looks crazy," Q-Ball remembers thinking, "but here's our chance to get destructive, to destroy something."
The trio went into Alan's backyard, grabbed some pieces of wood, and went to work. When they were done, Q-Ball gave Alan a high-five. He winced and looked at his hand. There was a cut straight across his fingers.
Like most young men from West Baltimore, misfortune had found Q-Ball often. Over time, misfortune can transform into anger, and anger always finds a way out. Q-Ball didn't like turning his own anger into other people's misfortune. The microwave was willing to take some of Q-Ball's anger away. A little blood was a small price to pay.
Alan's hand was smeared with red. "I guess we must be blood brothers now," said Q-Ball.
Alan Willingham-McLain, 24, and several young men from the neighborhood are packed up in Alan's kitchen sharing a pot of chicken, rice, and bell peppers. As with all community meals here, each person fixes a plate for someone else. Above the sink behind them, a plaque reads, "FAITH makes things possible—not easy."
It's been over two years since the microwave-bashing, but Q-Ball is still here. His real name is Ernest Wilson. At 19 years old, he's still tight with Alan.
"When he turned 18, I'm like, 'We're calling him Q, not Q-Ball,'" Alan said, laughing. "That sounds more like a man's name: Q."
Not many houses have mission statements, but in Alan's living room there's one scrawled on a whiteboard in purple and orange marker. It says that 1917 Mosher is an "intentional Christian community," serving as a "safe and empowering space" for young men who want "more than what the corner has to offer."
"I guess the reason why this lifestyle is important to me," Alan said, "is because I fear the world will never see the amazing leadership inside of people like Q if society keeps on this track where we just isolate ourselves from people who hurt and who are different and keep opportunity away from them."
Q keeps his hair thick and wears stylish outfits with brightly colored flames and camouflage. As I sat listening to his life story, his feelings registered very clearly on his broad face. His demeanor is so calm, though, that it's difficult to notice those feelings changing. One minute, you see gleeful gratitude in his face. Look again and it's mournful regret.
Q tries to keep himself in places where opportunity is most likely to cross his path. He helps lead a youth group at New Song Community Church. He is training to become a leader with Young Life, a Christian mentoring program working with students from Calverton Elementary/Middle in Southwest Baltimore. He wants to attend Baltimore City Community College in the fall. But as a young man in West Baltimore, there's something else just as likely to cross Q's path: the odds, which are against him.
"Yesterday I went swimming, and someone stole a bookbag that had my ID, my social security card, and birth certificate," Q said as he sat at Alan's kitchen table. "It seems like every time I'm on track, something will always take me back. My cousin, she got shot in the face two weeks ago. And a man I looked up to as a role model got killed back in February."
On February 23, police found Phil Carr Jr. on the ground in Park Heights, shot in the head. "When I found out about that," Q said, "I kinda went through a downfall."
Carr had helped Q's family get through his great aunt's death from breast cancer in 2010. "We were all down and depressed, and when he came along, we were like, 'Aw, that was the problem: We was missing the fun,'" Q said. "I kinda looked at him as a father."
Q's great aunt, Mary Ellen Bell, had raised him from the age of four. She became like a mother to him. When Bell died, Q was 15, and he went to North Carolina to live with his father. School and sports began to stress him out, he said, and after a few months his father got locked up. That was actually a bit of a relief—they'd had many conflicts. But then his mother called from Baltimore: Q's sister was ill.
"When she told me that, I snapped," Q said. He began feeling suicidal, making sketches in a notebook rather than expressing his feelings to anyone else. When one of the sketches fell on the floor and someone saw it, Q called his mom. After nearly a year in North Carolina, it was time to come home to Baltimore.
Back home, he remained depressed and turned to marijuana and alcohol. "When I was going through them times," Q said, "a lot of people was talking to me like, 'Hey man, look, you starting to change, you starting to pick up an attitude, man. You mean. You acting crazy.'"
In his senior year of high school at Knowledge and Success Academy, a public middle/high school in West Baltimore near the county line, Q said he came to his senses. "I asked the Lord for a sign to help me out, and I got a dream with my aunt," he said. "She kinda got on my case!"
Q started pulling himself together, but at the end of the school year, he failed the state assessment necessary to graduate. The school gave him a "bridge project" to meet an alternative graduation requirement, and he pulled an all-nighter to finish it. A day before graduation, Q said, a vice principal told him he'd be graduating. He wouldn't walk the stage, but that didn't diminish Q's enthusiasm. Ernest Wilson, class of 2012—most of his family had dropped out of high school.
"I just started running through the hallways like 'YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!'" Q said. "It felt like I broke a family curse."
Q doesn't spend too much time at his mother's house these days. There are too many people packed in there, and someone always seems to be awake. But he still tries to spend time with them. Sometimes he'll take his little brother and cousins for a walk downtown, getting home as late as 5 a.m. "We sit at the edge of the harbor, watch the water flow for a couple hours, just chat," he said.
Q is just as likely to be found at Alan's house. "I end up sleeping here most of the time," he said. "I can sleep a good 16 to almost 20 hours. It's a comfort zone. It's very positive here. If I hadn't met Alan, I do not know where I'd be at right now. I probably would have just given my life to the streets."
One day in March, Q left his mother's house with a stun gun on him. He says he got it after being chased by a wild dog. "My mom said put it back, but I didn't listen," Q said. "I didn't listen to her for once, and I got locked up." Q says it was his first arrest.
At his court date, Q said, authorities tried to pin an outstanding 2009 handgun charge on him. "It was someone with the same name as me," he said, "just four years older." He showed them his ID, he said, and they threw out the handgun charge.
After a teacher and church leader testified on his behalf, Q received a year of unsupervised probation. A woman pulled him aside as he left the courtroom. "She said, 'God is watching over you, and you are very lucky today. I hope this opens your eyes.'"
Q didn't recognize her. "That's an angel," he said. "Ever since that day, I've been trying to keep calm, do what I have to do."
Alan and other mentors have helped Q through setbacks like the stun-gun charge, his friend Phil's murder, and the loss of a job in May. A few weeks ago, a couple of the men with the Baltimore Young Life program helped Q land a job interview at the Baltimore Convention Center. Alan gave him a ride downtown. Q interviewed with two chefs, who then walked him to another interview.
"They told me, 'Look, if we wasn't gonna hire you, man, we wouldn't be walking with you to this lady's office.' I was like, 'Oh my goodness!'" said Q. "I felt like I got a burden off my chest."
Q says that when he starts the job, he'll be cleaning, but that they'll likely cycle him through different jobs, including in the kitchen. "I told them, 'You put me on the grill, I'm not getting off it,'" he said.
During a recent power outage, Q and some family members were sitting on their stoop just a few blocks south of Sandtown.
"Two police cars rolled up, talking about, 'If you don't live here or ain't 18 or over, you can't sit out front or be around here,'" Q said. "They talking crazy—'We'll lock you up and take you down right now.' I said to them, 'You cannot do that. We sitting in front of our own house not disturbing anybody.'"
Q doesn't like to bite his tongue, but he tries not to say too much when police come around. "If I say something out my mouth or any type of movement," he said, "then they can lock me up."
With a new curfew in effect, there is no shortage of opportunities for Q to interact with the police. He also has to negotiate the corners. Q says he gets respect there, even though he's not living the life.
"They always say, 'Keep it real, keep it 100,'" Q said. "That means don't try to be someone you're not." For Q, who is worried about what the next generation is learning from his own, that means offering young people an alternative to the street. Late one night, he said, he saw a 15-year-old boy asking a 26-year-old to help him buy a gun.
"He was like this: 'I'll get you a gun, but don't be stupid with it,'" said Q. "I said something like, 'You really want that gun, or do you want to hit the books?'"
The boy said he wanted to do both: a way out of the streets, but protection while he was still in them.
"I'm like, 'The only thing keep you protected is to go to school and hit the books. You sure you're ready to pick that gun up? Once you pick that gun up, it's hard to put it down,'" said Q.
"The other dude was like, 'Yo, on some real stuff, he's speaking the truth to you right now,'" he continued. "He's giving you the same thing as me—a reality check."
Reality, Q said, is coming down on him hard these days. "I'm at that stage when it's all gonna come hit you," he said. "Dealing with school, trying to get a job, trying not to get in an argument with your mom 'cause you don't want to get kicked out. And you might get locked up, too."
With his new job at the Convention Center, Q knows it's more important than ever to stay in the path of opportunity and out of the path of danger. But there are a lot of police and a lot of corners on the way from Sandtown to downtown.
"You have to play smart," said Q. "Any wrong move can be your last."

June 2013 — Last month, climate scientists announced that atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) had surpassed 400 parts per million, an alarming milestone since CO2 is earth's most abundant heat-trapping greenhouse gas (GHG). A few weeks earlier, the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication reported on American attitudes on the issue. It turns out that only about 8% of Americans are genuine climate change skeptics. The rest of us are concerned, even alarmed, but mainly sitting on the fence, wrapped in despair because the evidence seems too abstract, the consequences too distant, and we just don't know what to do.
What does global warming mean in our daily lives, here in the Catskills?
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has identified a range of impacts for the Catskills region now and over the next 50 years. We can expect increased flooding alternating with periods of drought, and a higher incidence of catastrophic events like hurricanes and ice storms. Weather-related disruptions of communications and travel will affect public safety and economic stability. Increased asthma, heat stroke, heart attack and vector-borne diseases like West Nile virus and Lyme disease will stress our public health system. Agricultural impacts will include more spring frosts, reduced summer precipitation and heat stresses on farm animals, especially dairy cows. We may lose our iconic Empire and Macintosh apples. Invasive pests like the hemlock wooly adelgid and emerald ash borer are already affecting our forests.
Impacts will have a cascading effect. For example, as we lose our hemlock forests to the wooly adelgid, streams and lakes will become warmer, stressing our beloved brook trout by reducing the cold water refuges they need. This could have a disastrous impact on the $3.5 billion a year hunting and fishing businesses in upstate New York.
It sounds pretty dire, and what can we do about it?
Let's focus on three key words. The first is mitigation – reducing the GHG emissions that cause climate change. The most important way to do this is to stop burning fossil fuels and switch to renewable sources like solar, wind and biomass as quickly as we can.
The second is adaptation – finding ways to reduce adverse effects. For example, we can make our houses cooler in the summer by insulating our attics, using reflective roofing material, and planting deciduous trees to provide shade in summer. In new construction, we can site houses to take advantage of summer breezes and passive warming in winter.
Effective adaptation efforts can also mitigate the causes of climate disruption. For example, as we use passive design and construction practices to help heat and cool our houses, or demand more organically grown local food, we also reduce energy demand and use of the fossil fuels and petrochemicals that cause global warming.
The third key word is resiliency, which describes the ability to recover from adverse events. In the context of climate change, we will build our resiliency by educating ourselves and becoming proactive, and by calling upon our greatest human asset, our ability to bring creativity and innovation to our problem-solving efforts.
What we eat, what we buy, who we vote for and what policies those leaders enact – our choices determine what kind of life we live now, and how future generations will fare. Our predicament is the unfortunate cumulative result of millions of incremental choices as well as regressive energy policy. The answers to the problem are also cumulative – small personal choices day by day, and big policy choices demanded boldly and implemented robustly. We will not get there by sitting on the fence or cowering in despair.

Rihanna is stripping it all off for "Stay," the latest single off her album Unapologetic. And we just exclusively premiered the music video for the track on E! News.
By stripping down, we mean both emotionally and literally: It's bath time with Ri-Ri, people.
"The video was really, really simple. I pretty much stayed put in a bathtub," she told Ryan Seacrest yesterday on the Grammys red carpet. And she wasn't lying. The moody clip features the bathing pop star completely naked (very Britney Spears-in-"Everytime," if you will) while dueting with Nashville singer Mikky Ekko.
Rihanna promised us an "emotional," "personal" and "powerful" video and we certainly think she delivered.

Real estate development, or property development, is a multifaceted business, encompassing activities that range from the renovation and re-lease of existing buildings to the purchase of raw land and the sale of improved land or parcels to others. Developers are the coordinators of the activities, converting ideas on paper into real property.Real estate development is different from construction, although many developers also construct.
