More than 150,000 people around the world have learned how to meditate with the Chopra Center's free online meditation program. This February 20, the Chopra Center will launch the brand-new Mind-Body Odyssey" 21-Day Meditation Challenge™ in honor of David Simon, a renowned physician who was pivotal in bringing meditation into the mainstream and helping countless people experience its benefits for physical health and emotional wellbeing.
Carlsbad, California— February 1, 2012 — This February 20, the Chopra Center for Wellbeing will host its next 21-Day Meditation Challenge™ in honor of the Chopra Center's co-founder David Simon, M.D., who passed away January 31. In the two years since the first 21-Day Meditation Challenge was launched, more than 150,000 people have embraced the challenge to meditate every day for 21 days. The response from participants throughout the world has been overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing stories and feedback about how learning to meditate has transformed their lives. " "We are dedicating this Meditation Challenge to David Simon, who has been my friend, partner, and teacher for more than twenty years," said best-selling author and spiritual mentor Deepak Chopra, M.D., who co-founded the Chopra Center with David in 1996. "From our personal experience as meditators and in working with patients, David and I both knew first-hand the power of meditation to balance the body, heal the mind, and transform the spirit. I know David was happy that the Meditation Challenge was opening the doors to many people who previously believed that meditation was too 'hard' or 'mysterious.' "The upcoming Mind-Body Odyssey is ideal for anyone who is seeking more peace and balance and a lot less stress and 'dis-ease' in their lives," said Deepak Chopra. Each day, participants will receive a guided audio meditation and guidance for creating a regular meditation practice. A Meditation Challenge Facebook community is also open to participants who want to share their experiences, ask questions, and connect with other like-minded meditators. The meditations will be led by Deepak Chopra; the Chopra Center's lead meditation teacher and dean of Chopra Center University, davidji; and other master Chopra Center instructors. Registration and participation in the 21-Day Meditation Challenge beginning February 20 is free. Register for the 21-Day Meditation Challenge here

Why Major in Biology at Fontbonne?
Majoring in biology equips you with a strong, balanced foundation in biological science and gives you a solid understanding of chemistry and physics. At the same time, you'll learn tools and techniques that will help you become an effective scientist, researcher, or educator. Our classes are small, and our faculty are focused on helping you achieve your best. We are proud of our rigorous curriculum designed to produce knowledgable and valuable scientists and educators.
A Fontbonne undergraduate degree in biology prepares you to take the next step for application to most professional schools such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, optometry or physical therapy, as well as other health professions. Fontbonne offers a wide variety of required coursework for medical school, but because requirements can vary from school to school, your advisor will work with you to determine the specific courses required by the schools of your choice.
If your goal is to teach high school, you can major in biology and obtain your certification in secondary education. Or, if you choose to major in another discipline, you can also minor in either biology or chemistry.
In addition, Fontbonne offers an excellent opportunity to get a dual degree in engineering or occupational therapy through partnership programs in connection with Washington University in St. Louis.
If you go on to work in management or administration, you might plan and administer programs for testing foods and drugs, for example, or direct activities at zoos or botanical gardens. Opportunities may exist for work as consultants to business firms or to government, testing and inspecting foods, drugs, and other products, or writing for technical publications. Our graduates also find careers dealing with living organisms — including the conservation occupations of forester, range manager and soil conservationist — or careers such as animal breeder, horticulturist, soil scientist and agricultural scientist.Through Fontbonne's cooperative education program, you might also qualify for salaried on-the-job training and, at the same time, earn academic credit for your work.

I was born and raised in Houston, TX. My mother is from Kansas, my father was from Yemen and my sister lives in Boulder where she's becoming a rockstar, I'm serious.
Important things to know about me: I love dark chocolate, non-fiction, writing, photography, my husband's eyes, liturgy, local businesses, fiction, sacrament, Saturdays, college students, all things creative, my freedom, my sweaters, a Canadian dog named Georgia and the God who made them all. I hate plastic and facebook. I went to Wheaton College and then spent a year and a half learning from street kids in Honduras. I then spent four years in Houston coordinating service-learning and international missions-learning at Houston Baptist University.
From there I went to Regent College in Vancouver for my M.Div. and am still working towards ordination in the CRC at Calvin Seminary. I confess to being a struggler. I know where my keys are only half of the time, my over active imagination keeps me checking closets for boogie men, I never quite feel on top of all the things I should. But it is my deepest joy to be available to Calvin students as we struggle together to let the mysterious triune God befriend us and draw us close. Please feel free to stop in anytime.

I'm missing my SR124DVC something horrible and after my two Sundown e8 in a ported box just went up in smoke I'm trying to replace them with something that is more on par with the sr124. I'm very tight on space, I have about 1.4 cu.ft gross and about 4.5 to 5 inches of depth (inside clearance) to work with. I was thinking 4 MM840's powered by a PAD10001 but I've not really been able to find any insights. any time they are mentioned its in a favorable light but that's about it. do the mm subs need much room behind the magnets, I would only have .5 or so clearance, adequate for cooling?
how do they perform down low? do they have nice detail and accuracy? can I get something that will resemble the sr124 unitizing multiple mm840's?
I was thinking that 4 mm840's would be very nifty, what's the consensus here?
Other subs I'm considering are: JBL GTO804's, Image Dynamics id8v3's and Sundown e8v2's or maybe sa-8's (just two of them) but they really NEED to be Ported.
PS. if I loose about 1 inch of leg room I MIGHT be able to fit a couple mm1040's, MAYBE. I'd only go this route if the 840's don't seem like they will perform.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived tight end Zach Miller injured and claimed former Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brett Brackett off waivers.||||||| A pass-catching tight end with a history of injuries, Miller will revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers. Miller sustained a calf injury late in the preseason and has been sidelined since.
The Jaguars placed Miller on injured reserve Tuesday because of a nagging shoulder injury. They replaced him by signing Martin Rucker off Dallas' practice squad. Rucker was a fourth-round draft pick by Cleveland in 2008.||||||| Miller, a third-year player from Nebraska-Omaha and a sixth-round draft pick in 2009, has missed several games in his short career because of knee and foot injuries. He also missed a game because of a concussion. Miller has 45 receptions for 470 yards and four touchdowns, but injuries have prevented him from taking the next step in his development and have his future with the franchise in question.
Miller is practicing for the first time since minicamp, returning to the field after missing summer workouts with a foot injury.||||||| The team activated Miller from the physically unable to perform list Sunday. Miller ran routes in the morning session, but wasn't sure he would be available for the team's first full-pads practice Sunday night. A former college quarterback at Nebraska-Omaha and a sixth-round pick in 2009, Miller caught 21 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie. He's expected to have a bigger role this fall, especially if he stays healthy.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Miller.||||||| Miller, a sixth-round pick in April's NFL draft, signed his contract Monday, becoming the team's first rookie to do so.

The first step is to assess the severity of the flooding damage. In the case of major water damage or if you suspect sewer back up, be sure to contact a professional remediator and your insurance company. If homeowners feel they can handle the project or don't want to wait until they can get a mold remediator to work on the job, there are some steps they can take. "Homeowners can eliminate mold and help prevent it from returning by following four simple steps," said Brian Bacik, CEO of Planet People™, a manufacturer of non-toxic, high-performance cleaning products for homeowners and professionals. "At Planet People, we advise consumers to follow the "Four Ds" to mitigate and defend against mold after a flood: Dry, Discard, Deactivate, and Defend."
- Dry - Mold can grow on water-damaged surfaces in as little as 24 to 48 hours. If flooding occurred in your home, take steps to dry affected areas as quickly as possible. Remove excess water with a shop vacuum or water pump. Once the water is removed, use fans to circulate and absorb moisture in the air. If weather permits, open all doors and windows; indoor mold spore counts are typically higher than outdoor counts.
- Discard - Throw out water-logged and mold-infested materials that are replaceable, such as carpeting or ceiling tiles. The general rule is: if in doubt, throw it out. If drywall has absorbed water, the drywall should be cut out 12 inches above the water level and replaced once the room has dried out.
- Deactivate - Use an EPA-registered, non-toxic solution like Concrobium Mold Control® to fight remaining indoor mold. This innovative "2-in-1" solution eliminates mold and prevents it from coming back, and it contains no bleach or other harmful chemicals. It's important to treat hidden areas in a home such as crawlspaces, closets and under furniture to be sure they remain mold-free. Special fogger units, which mist Concrobium Mold Control into the air, can be used to treat large or inaccessible spaces such as basements and attics. Foggers are available for rent at home improvement stores in the tool rental department.
- Defend – Protect your home against any future mold by taking a couple of steps. First, ensure that the surrounding property is graded so that water is directed away from the foundation. Second, run a dehumidifier to take additional moisture out of the air. Maintain relative indoor humidity between 30 and 50 percent and monitor humidity levels with a hygrometer, an inexpensive device found at many hardware stores. Lastly, help prevent future mold growth by applying Concrobium Mold Control to vulnerable surfaces.
Following the "Four Ds" will help alleviate the mold issues that many homeowners are facing after Hurricane Sandy. For additional tips on mold control and to download a mold prevention checklist, please visit http://www.concrobium.com/ or http://curemymold.com/.

The hearts of many were filled with joy when Daisy the greyhound was reunited with her Oconee County family after overcoming incredible feats during 23 days on her own last summer. Now those same hearts are heavy upon learning on Dec. 14 Daisy lost a brief battle with bone cancer. She had turned 5 in September.
Southeastern Greyhound Adoption GPA of Atlanta, a group that was instrumental in Daisy's rescue, shared the following letter from the Whalens on its Facebook Page:
It is with a heavy heart that I write this final chapter in the life of Miss Daisy. All of you know Daisy, many of you met her in September at the [SEGC/SEGA] annual picnic where you saw her run and play. Little did I know that December would bring about so many changes in her life. She was diagnosed with an osteosarcoma that spread quickly and aggressively. She went from happily running to being crippled with multiple tumors seemingly overnight. She went from minimal discomfort to whopping doses of morphine in just days. The quality of her life declined rapidly. I haven't yet tried to understand the "why" in this seemingly cruel twist of fate, I can only accept the joy she gave us in her brief time on this earth.
Chris and I will continue to honor her in the "Finding Miss Daisy" fund and we will be smiling whenever a lost hound is returned to their families. I know Daisy will be smiling from heaven too, thinking to herself...at least it didn't take 22 days!
Please help us say goodbye to Daisy. Thank you for all of *your *support, her wonderful extended family.
-Lauren and Christopher Whalen
Condolences began to pour in for the family.
"So sad," one woman wrote. "I am still so glad she had some happy time with her family before her time with us ended."

WiFi technology for industrial environments
Set up a wireless infrastructure to support a wireless mobile workforce. Here's advice on industrial environments, challenges include environment, signal integrity, and protocol selection.
In setting up wireless infrastructures in industrial environments, challenges include environment, signal integrity, and protocol selection.
Industrial environmental conditions more demanding than in an office environment, with extreme temperatures, dirt, dust, moisture, shock, and vibrations. Industrial grade chipset have improved (passive) cooling and sturdy design to ensure reliability and longevity under these adverse conditions.
High- power electrical consumers, such as engines, welding robots or drives with their frequency converters, cause additional challenges. These can cause overvoltage, glitches, spikes, and noise on power supply lines due to magnetic induction, potential shifts, or high-frequency (HF) coupling. Industrial-grade networking gear uses internal dc-dc coupling with filtering and stabilization that compensates these effects.
Also, the radio can be heavily affected by stray HF noise, various other radios in the environment, and generally highly increased electromagnetic pollution compared to office environments. A special danger in outdoor applications has proven to be a constant threat to office-type access points: lightning strikes in the vicinity, with their extreme currents, cause high voltage spikes in outdoor WiFi antennas, which can easily destroy the radio. New-generation radios designed for industrial use employ overvoltage protection and narrow filters that keep other radio frequencies away and therefore increase reach, reliability, and throughput.
For any new installation only IEEE 802.11n should be chosen as the wireless standard. This standard increases data throughput compared to IEEE 802.11 b or g, although this is often not the prime concern. It also uses spatial information, which means that waves reflected from walls or steel structures are used just as direct waves are for retrieving the data.
Therefore, IEEE 802.11n offers much better stability of the data streams especially in industrial environments where a lot of large structures and metal objects are common.

Hirschmann began early on to apply WiFi technologies to harsh environments. Over the years we have gathered a lot of experience in various industrial applications. What we have learned about specific challenges in the industrial environment have all gone into a completely new hardware design for our OpenBAT product line."

In 1996, as a freshman member of the House of Representatives, I wrote the Defense of Marriage Act, better known by its shorthand acronym, DOMA, than its legal title. The law has been a flash-point for those arguing for or against same-sex marriage ever since President Clinton signed it into law. Even President-elect Barack Obama has grappled with its language, meaning and impact.
I can sympathize with the incoming commander in chief. And, after long and careful consideration, I have come to agree with him that the law should be repealed.

All Feelings Wrapped Into One
So I am officially single from a three year relationship and I really don't know how I am feeling right about now. I was completely pissed off and hurt, now I don't know feeling kind of empty, lost, confused...feeling bad for being such a bitch but that's how I was feeling at the same time so I'm not completely sorry. I feel like want to break something to I don't know what.
What really pisses me off is the fact that your shit is packed, you already announce to the world that you are single and then you want to know what I want? Then you want to talk and actually listen? Maybe if you would have done this I don't forever ago it wouldn't have ended up this way. I really don't fucking understand how I can still love you after all this, I just wish I could skip at the bullshit, all the agony. My heart didn't feel it last night but it sure does this morning :( I just don't know....look to tomorrow, its a new day I suppose.

Original recipe yields 4 servings
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg. Place the panko crumbs into a third bowl.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each chicken tender into the seasoned flour, then into the egg; roll in panko crumbs. Pan fry the chicken tenders until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken pieces to a baking sheet.
- Heat 2 more tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the tomatoes, garlic, basil, onion, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Reduce heat and simmer the tomato sauce until it starts to thicken, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of sauce over each chicken piece; top with a half piece of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes.

I submitted this recipe, and after reading one review about being poorly written, I must agree. I do start the sauce first and let it simmer while I am frying the chicken tenderloins. This allows it to all finish at the same time, and can go into the oven for the final melting of the cheese. You may of course, spice it up with other herbs in the sauce, but I really enjoy the flavor of fresh basil, and keeping it simple. Hope this helps! PMJNSTN
Made this for the Recipe Group and we enjoyed it. I do, however, think the recipe is poorly written and sort of backwards. Here's the way I did it. I breaded my chicken ahead of time and didn't use nearly the amount of flour indicated in the recipe, covered and refrigerated it until dinner time. I made the sauce before I cooked the chicken, and as I suspected, the tomatoes really cook down to almost nothing. I had to add some Prego to "stretch" it a bit. I didn't add the basil until just before serving so it's flavor wouldn't diminish. I kept the sauce warm while I cooked the chicken. After the chicken was cooked I left it in the skillet, topped each with the mozzarella and covered it with a lid just until the cheese was nicely melted. I skipped the oven part altogether. This was good. We thought the chicken/panko could be improved with some additional spices, maybe some Italian seasoning, and the addition of some parmesan cheese might have been good. The sauce needs some work. We thought my addition of Prego actually improved it.
We had this tonight for dinner and even have leftovers for a sandwich tomorrow. We felt this could have used a little more in the flavor department--like adding some herbs to the sauce mixture. It probably could have used only one tablespoon of oil for the sauce because the onions give off liquid. And it could have used something to hold all the sauce together more (maybe some Italian bread crumbs?). Mine did not look like the photos. I think if I were to make it again I would not bread the chicken at all. All those ingredients (flour and panko) kind of rejected the flavors of the sauce and didn't let it show off what could have been! This has possibililties, so I will try it again.

NCEAS Project 3780
Thermal physiology and the abundance and distribution of ectotherms
- John L. Sabo
|Further Information
|No activities scheduled at this time.
Temperature and thermal physiology shape the behavior, life history and population dynamics of ectotherms from insects to reptiles. Thus, there has been considerable interest in deriving mathematical relationships between temperature and the performance and fitness of these animals. Bioenergetic models provide a method for estimating the daily available activity time of animals. Furthermore, these energetics models can now be applied at large spatial scales using GIS, to generate contour maps of the potential activity time available to a focal animal or assemblage of animals. Energetic-based "activity time maps" offer ecologists and conservation biologists a practical tool for predicting habitat suitability for organisms across heterogeneous landscapes. However, activity time is an index only of whether an animal can or cannot perform in a specific habitat and thus, only a surrogate for habitat suitability. GIS-based energetics models cannot presently predict animal abundance. Temperature driven models of animal abundance would be useful not only as a tool for testing ecological hypotheses at the landscape scale, but also in identifying habitats that would support viable populations of species of special concern. As a postdoctoral fellow at NCEAS I will develop models that link energetics, activity time and population dynamics. I will then apply these models to test ecological hypotheses at two spatial scales. First, I will evaluate the role of landscape structure on lizard population dynamics at a local scale using data collected from a well-studied field site in Northern California. Second, I will use these models at a larger scale to develop a framework for predicting geographic variation in interaction strength among species in an assemblage of reptiles found in Western North America.

I hope the Council doesn't follow the example of Newberg and involve a head hunter via the Council of Governments. Using local folks with be much more cost effective and engaging to our community.
etc. The individuals management and leadership style needs to fit community
personality. Our City has been very fortunate with the first 2, and I hope good
judgement prevails throughout the interview process. Conservative fiscal
management is a must. So, many factors are the focus throughout the process.
Good luck to the coucil, staff and community members in this process !!

And let's turn to some other developments we're following very closely. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in a New York City hospital this morning. She is being treated for a blood clot. Now, a State Department spokesman said this stems from a concussion Clinton sustained earlier this month. The blood clot was discovered during a follow-up exam yesterday.

The U.S. economy grew at a steady though not very strong pace this year. But Europe slipped back into recession because of the ongoing debt crisis. European leaders took steps to stimulate growth, but it wasn't enough to reverse course.
The economic crisis that got under way five years ago was felt all over the world. But Mohammed El-Erian, CEO of the investment firm PIMCO, says different regions have healed at much different rates.

It is almost unimaginable that both the House and Senate would be in session on a Sunday evening on the penultimate day of the year. And yet, they both were, with lawmakers hoping it was not merely a big waste of time and effort.
A bipartisan push by Senate leaders over the weekend has so far failed to forge a deal to spare American wage earners from tax hikes and shield government programs from drastic cutbacks.
America, if you're scared by all the talk you've been hearing about the fiscal cliff, take heart: There are reasons for people across the political spectrum to love the cliff.
There's a lot for liberals to like in the fiscal cliff, says Matthew Yglesias, who writes wonky articles about economics for Slate.

Superstorm Sandy is what most people will remember from the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. But Sandy was just one of 10 hurricanes this year — a hurricane season that was both busy and strange.
Late summer is when the hurricane season usually gets busy. But Greg Jenkins, a professor of atmospheric science at Howard University, says this year was different.

There's nothing like the distinctive "pop" of the uncorking of a bottle of bubbly to create a sense of celebration. Whether it's Dom Perignon or a $10 sparkling wine, bubbles add pizazz.
Sparkling-wine lovers sometimes point to the glittering streams of tiny bubbles as an important attribute. Why? Well, tiny bubbles are a sign of age, explains French chemist Gerard Liger-Belair, author of Uncorked: The Science of Champagne.
Earlier this week, former George W. Bush adviser and Republican strategist Mark McKinnon wrote that all he wants for Christmas is a new GOP. He tells host Jacki Lyden what he wants from his party going forward.

We asked Fountain to share with us what he's looking forward to in the book world next year. He says he's read about 25 books for release in 2013 and tells host Jacki Lyden, "The state of American fiction is really strong, at least from where I'm standing."

LEED Certification
URC Receives Gold Certification for 'Green' Design
Planning for the Future: A Sustainable Facility
The University has proposed silver certification at the end of construction from the U.S. Green Building Council - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. The structure itself is a masonry and metal panel building with metal and membrane roofing. Natural lighting will be used through a variety of architectural glazing that is also high efficiency. The LEED program promotes the use of low environmental impact materials and design methods as well as giving special attention to natural lighting, low maintenace landscaping and other environmentally sensitive products and designs. The LEED green building rating system awards points for satisfying specified green building criteria. Special attention is given to water savings, energy efficiency, natural lighting, low maintenance landscaping and other environmentally sensitive products and designs. The only higher rating than gold is platinum. Environmentally-friendly bathrooms, lighting and landscaping are just some of the 'green' features of the building.
The URC has been awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification for its environmentally-friendly construction. The LEED program is sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council, the nation's leading advocate of sustainable design.

text: For the past nine months, Tour Master's Solution 2.0 boots have been my go-to, use-every-day moto footwear. I've toured in them, gone sport riding in them, and they have been on my feet for the vast majority of my 60-mile-a-day commute. They've been hot, they've been cold, they've been dry, and they've been wet. That's a lot to ask of $130 boots. And yet the Solutions performed well. Part of the reason they were always on my feet is that they're amazingly comfortable. These are touring-oriented boots, so they lack the hard-shell armor so popular in supersport/racing and ADV footwear. According to Tour Master, the Solution 2.0s are made with "water repellant leather and a PU upper," which translates to a polyurethane upper. (I was hoping that meant "pressed unicorn.") The armor is molded nylon with "shock absorbing" material between that and your feet. A single zipper with a rain gusset on the inside against the foot permits access. MX or roadracing gear they're not. But they break in quickly and fit my wide, size-11 feet extremely well. There's enough support to feel confident on the bike, but the construction is limber enough to walk in. Point of fact, there have been days when I didn't take them off until lunchtime despite having office shoes handy. There's your testimonial. In the time I've been wearing these boots, they've been fairly durable. I've managed to scuff the toes, but they respond to various boot polishes well. The heel of one boot has just worn through the outer sole, but a dollop of Shoe Goo extended its life. And the little hook-and-loop tongues used to secure the zipper tabs have both fallen off. Remember, though: They were used at least five days a week, every week. Waterproof? Well, not completely. I rode several hours through rain in the Pacific Northwest late last year on my KTM 990 SM-T long-termer, a bike that leaves feet largely exposed. A couple of hours into the ride, my toes were still dry, but by the end of the day, the inner soles were squishy. (This experience came with relatively worn boots and without the benefit of any kind of exterior waterproofing treatment.) I wouldn't hesitate to wear the Solutions in showery weather, but I'd definitely want overboots for a full day of fighting raindrops. In a world of complicated, expensive boots, the Solution 2.0s are wonderfully straightforward and affordable footwear for the everyday rider who puts comfort ahead of buckle count. This pair still has some life, but I've already ordered a replacement pair. TOUR MASTER SOLUTION 2.0 BOOTS PRICE: $130 CONTACT: tourmaster.com VERDICT: 4/5 Stars Versatile, amazingly comfortable everyday boots for the tourer and commuter. By Marc Cook Enjoyed this Post?

There's always more information than can fit in a single news story, and this is especially true of the ongoing Anadromous Streams Protection Ordinance. This week, the KSRM News Department investigated claims that petitions were being misused in the process of putting together the Anadromous Streams Ordinance.
Two groups have taken up the cause: Citizens 4 Responsible Waterfront Use have been adamant that the ordinance should be repealed. Cook Inletkeeper has more recently joined the debate, supporting the implementation of the ordinance.
During our conversations, each side explained how they view the other.
Bob Shavelson with Cook Inletkeeper…
Shavelson: "This whole conspiracy theory that they're creating that there's this shadow government in the United Nations that's going to take away your property rights, that's what's fueling a lot of the hysteria here."
Fred Braun is a member of the Ordinance Task Force and Citizens 4 Responsible Waterfront Use…
Braun: "You can compare it to just about anything that the Borough typically send notices out to property owners within a 300ft area that may be affected by a new zoning change, and this was def viewed as zoning, and because of that, that was our primary focus. It had to do with notification and the loss of private property without such."
As mentioned, each group has a petition which supposedly names its supporters; however, during this investigation,we found individuals on both petitions who claimed they weren't told the whole story, and they definitely would not have signed if they had known how their name would be used.
So, we asked Shavelson what his group told the 6,600 people who signed the petition which is being used to support the ordinance…
Shavelson: "There was two-fold. The first provision said: We're signing this petition to ask our state and federal and local entities to enforce existing water quality protection laws and rules to ensure healthy salmon habitat. The second part of it was to ensure adequate riparian setbacks and intact river systems to maintain the habitat functions and values salmon need to survive."
The complaint here was that the petition never specifically mentions the ordinance at all, but is more generally about the wellbeing of salmon.
We then asked Fred Braun how his 2,000 signatures were informed…
Braun: "Well actually our group had a little flyer, a little hand out, that explained the reasons we were pushing for repeal and all of those questions were written on that hand out. I apologize, I don't have a copy in front of me, but they're certainly all over the place, and it had to do, I think, more with loss of private property rights; the fact that there was a ordinance passed without – we felt – proper notification, ask them how they felt about that."
And the complaint on that side was that the information is false, or misleading, or fear-mongering.
It's an issue which has dominated our headlines, and it seems even Assembly Members in charge of implementing the Ordinance are unclear as to how the majority of people in the Borough feel.
Some interesting numbers we've discovered during this investigation: roughly 200 people have attended recent town hall meetings about the ordinance, and a significant majority of those residents, some place it over 90 percent, are calling for a repeal.
Additionally, while the Cook Inletkeeper petition boasts three times the number of signatures as C4RWU, only 1,751 are residents of the Borough. When it's broken down that way, the C4RWU petition has the greater number, but Inletkeeper insists the fish belong to all Alaskans, and even 600 non-Alaskans who signed the petition, not just those who live on the Peninsula.
However, Assembly Member Brent Johnson has pointed out during the last municipal election, three candidates pledged to repeal the ordinance, and only one was actually elected. That one, Kelly Wolf, was elected by the lowest voter turnout of any district around 5 percent of voters, which indicated to Johnson that there really weren't many people passionate about repealing the ordinance.
The next move is for the Ordinance Task Force to complete their meetings and deliver a recommendation to the Assembly. Borough Mike Mike Navarre expressed frustration over the process at this week's meeting of the Assembly. The Mayor said he wished people would let the Task Force complete their meetings before pushing for a repeal…
KPB Mayor Navarre: "It doesn't seem to be enough for people, they keep saying, 'Do it now, do it now, do it now,' and there's a process. People have invested a great deal of time and effort at my request in order to go out and try to educate the public and my administration and the Assembly on the issue and maybe it's best, which we're talking about now, to just say, 'You know what? We're going to repeal 2011-12 and replace it with something else.' That is in fact what we are going to do. I believe that's what the Assembly's going to do, I believe that's what the Task Force is going to recommend."
** Comments on this story do not represent the thoughts and / or opinions of KSRM Radio Group, Staff, Management or Sponsors. **
Repeal it now and move on to something productive.
Yeah Tim…………..the sky is falling, government is coming to take your guns, your land, your kids……repeal now……………….LOL!
But make sure the government gives us our subsidies, social security, fed tax $$$$$, police & fire protection………..AND make sure we have plenty of fish to hoard…………but we don't want to protect the fish habitat! LOL
It's time to ask PLF to help us stop this nonsense.

A really great frosting. I used half and half and it was excellent. I had to keep adding half and half to make it spreadable, but since it was so delicious, I didn't mind. :&)
This is an excellent frosting recipe. I like a frosting this is a little creamier, so I added appx. 3 tbsps. of marshmallow creme after all the ingredients were combined. To use the frosting on a bundt cake, I added a little more cream to make it of a consistency that it could be poured on the cake.
I recently had a request from my boyfriend's step father to make him the kind of devil's food cake with caramel frosting his grandma used to make. I had absolutely NO IDEA where to start. I found a dfc recipe in Bon Appetit, and used this frosting. I doubled the recipe for a double layer cake. RAVE reviews. Thanks so much! I made one modification, however. It didn't taste "caramelly" enough to me initially - just sugary from all of the powdered sugar. So I tripled the butter/brown sugar/milk portion of the recipe. Turned out fabulous. True to everyone's word it stiffens up very quickly. But nothing a few seconds in the micro didn't fix.

The Fiona scarf looks nice. I don't have this type of yarn, however, a worsted weight with a fuzzy yarn seems like a good idea for my DD. Thanks.

'Cinema history is the history of boys photographing girls." -- Jean-Luc Godard
I thought about this quote several times -- for all the wrong reasons -- watching " The Edge of Love," a British historical drama starring Keira Knightley new to DVD this week. In the film, director John Maybury composes several scenes in which the impossibly beautiful Ms. Knightley sings to the camera in extreme close-up and appears to be, from all indications, the luminescent center of creation. This may not be the best reason to see "The Edge of Love," but it's also not the worst.
Knightley plays Vera, a singer in World War II London who reunites one evening with her childhood love, the celebrated Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys). As the Germans bomb the city, Vera sings to the crowds in Underground tunnels while the bohemian Dylan composes his poems and begs drinks and money. It seems the perfect set-up for glamorously tragic romance until the rather inconvenient arrival of Caitlin, Dylan's wife (played by Sienna Miller.)
The first third of the movie details the improbable friendship of these two women, each in orbit of the great poet. Knightley and Miller share the film's best early scenes, as poverty and the war oblige the three to live together in a cramped one-room flat. Further complicating matters is the arrival of the furloughed soldier William (Cillian Murphy), who wins Vera's affections through decency and sheer tenacity.
The rest of the story, which elaborates upon actual biographical details of Dylan Thomas' life, follows these four as love and war take their toll. "The Edge of Love" has all the requisite pieces of an Academy Award-contending prestige picture, but it never quite gels. The script -- written by British playwright Sharman Macdonald, who happens to be Knightley's mother -- meanders a bit too much in the middle, and director Maybury never quite settles on a consistent tone.
But the movie does evoke a potent sense of time and place, particularly in the early London scenes and later in a Welsh seaside village. The photography is indeed beautiful throughout, and not just when Maybury lingers on the ladies. The movie also confirms that old adage: Never trust a poet.
Also new to DVD this week is the surprisingly effective " A Haunting in Connecticut," a delightfully scary ghost story that steals from a dozen or so horror classics and somehow gets away with it all.
When her teenage son is diagnosed with cancer, Sara Campbell (Virginia Madsen, "Sideways") moves the family into a rental house, closer to the hospital, but with a disturbing past. The basement is an old mortuary. Violent supernatural events take place regularly, and corpses keep popping up with runes carved into their skin. Subsequent revelations suggest that the former morticians took a rather freethinking approach to necromancy and the embalming process. On the plus side, the rent is cheap.
I have a real soft spot for horror movies that at least try to play by the rules, generate suspense and provide good scares. When "Haunting" starts to feel familiar, bear in mind that as a species we've been telling ghost stories to ourselves for several millennia now. There are only so many ways to cut the ectoplasm. Suspend your disbelief and roll with it, and you'll find a movie that's generous with creepy visuals and spooky surprises. The filmmakers go beyond the call of duty to create characters we care about, and the cancer element provides some genuine emotional resonance.
Lots of good extras on the DVD, too. The movie is "based on real events," a phrase that in modern movie marketing means exactly nothing. But the documentary supplements provide that quality of truthiness that somehow always enriches ghost stories.
A couple final notes this week. Criterion just reissued the excellent 1989 documentary " For All Mankind" on Blu-ray, probably the single best film document we have regarding the U.S. lunar landings. In recent years, we've rather lost our sense of wonder about the space program and the idea of sending people off the planet. Here's a great package, chock full of extras, to remind you of this pinnacle of human endeavor. The new high-def digital transfer of orbital footage is breathtaking and artfully enhanced by Brian Eno's ambient soundtrack.
More 1960s fun: Fans of AMC's terrific Golden Age of advertising series " Mad Men" can now get the entire second season in a great new box set featuring audio commentaries on all 13 episodes and severalsupplementary docs.

North Jefferson News
NORTH JEFFERSON — Gardendale Police have obtained warrants on a suspect in the Saturday armed robbery of Little Caesar's Pizza in Gardendale.
Curtis Lee Pritchett, 24, of Birmingham, is charged with three counts of robbery 1st degree. Each count is reportedly for the number of individuals who were in the store at the time of the robbery.
He is in the Gardendale City Jail with a $180,000 bond.
Police are still searching for suspects in two other robberies from last week.
The Dollar General store at Fieldstown Road and Phillips Drive was held up Saturday at gunpoint at about 2 p.m. The suspect is a black male.
On Memorial Day, two black males reportedly robbed Papa John's Pizza on Decatur Highway at gunpoint before leaving on foot.
Gardendale Police have said they do not think the three robberies are related.
Anyone with information about these crimes is asked to call the Gardendale Police Department at 631-8787.

Lane Dortch loves lending a hand to those in need. It's fitting, then, that he wants to be a firefighter once he wraps up his college education at Northeastern State.
It's also quite appropriate that he specializes at the fullback position for the RiverHawks. Nowhere else on the field is he more apt to help other players out. After all, Dortch's main role is to set lead blocks for a running back or protect the quarterback from a blitzing linebacker.
"You're just putting yourself out there for other people," said Dortch while describing the duties of a fireman while also summing up the fullback position.
"...I love to help people. And if I can go out there and save somebody's life, I think that's something I would enjoy."
For now, Dortch, a former standout at Fort Gibson High School, will have to settle for assisting on NSU's offense.
Getting the bulk of the work at fullback in the spring, Dortch will settle into a back-up role during the 2013 season. Dortch will be backing up Nick Whitlow, who was granted an extra year of eligibility.
"Hopefully I'll get some time on special teams, too," said Dortch, a 6-foot, 220-pound redshirt freshman. "I just have to keep getting better and possibly try and get more playing time as a sophomore."
But as NSU head coach Kenny Evans pointed out, Dortch is closer to regular playing time than he thinks.
"Lane has a chance to be a three-year starter," Evans said, "and he's always one play away from being a full-time starter.
"He still has to adjust to the game, but he did a good job of that in his first year."
When it comes to mentors on the RiverHawks' offense, there aren't many better options than Whitlow.
"It's a good experience," Dortch said. "I learned a lot on the field, but I also learned about keeping your head right in college and learning plays. Getting to learn from a senior in front of you, that's pretty good knowledge to have in front of you."
While Dortch appears primed to take over Whitlow's spot for years to come, he could very well become an anchor in the middle of NSU's defense. Evans would be lying if he said he hadn't considered it.
"He fit a need, so right now he's backing up Whitlow," Evans said. "But he would be a guy we could move to middle linebacker in a second when Jack Gray graduates — or if something happens. He handles the ball great, but he's one of the surest tacklers we have."
Dortch played on both sides of the ball in high school, and he said he's open to wherever the NSU coaching staff wants to put him.
"I want the coaches to put me in the position that I need to be in," Dortch said. "I feel like they do a real good job of putting players where they need to be, so it's basically up to Coach Evans."
Regardless of which side of the ball Dortch finishes his career on, Evans said it'll be a special tenure turned in by a player wearing the green and white.
"He has a chance to be a special player here," Evans said.
