Four former Navy officials and three defense contractors were sentenced to prison and probation terms Tuesday for their admitted roles in a wide-ranging fraud and corruption scheme at Naval Air Station North Island.
U.S. District Judge Larry Burns handed down the sentences in federal court in downtown San Diego. Two of the defense contractors worked for Poway-based companies.
The defendants pleaded guilty in March to taking part in a conspiracy in which defense contractors provided Navy officials with over $1 million worth of gifts—including cash, gift cards, flat-screen televisions and home-remodeling services—in return for millions of dollars in fraudulent work orders, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego.
The ex-naval officials charged in the case were Brian Delaney, David Lindsay, Kiet Luc and Donald Vangundy. They worked in a maintenance program for the Navy's E-2 and C-2 aircraft at the Coronado air base.
The four admitted to receiving a total of more than $1 million in cash, goods and services for their personal use, all fraudulently charged to and paid for by the Department of Defense.
Delaney and Lindsay were each sentenced to five years' probation, along with 30 consecutive weekends in federal custody. Luc received a 30-month prison term, while Vangundy was ordered to serve 41 months behind bars.
The three other co-defendants were Michael Graven, owner-operator of X&D Supply Inc. in Carlsbad; Paul Grubiss, sales manager of Centerline Industrial Inc. in Poway; and John Newman, sales manager of L&N Industrial Tool & Supply in Poway. Each was sentenced to serve 18 months in custody.
All seven defendants pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Grubiss and Vangundy also admitted to conspiring to commit bribery, and Graven, Luc and Vangundy pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns.
Each defendant was ordered to pay restitution to the Department of the Navy, and three of them must reimburse the Internal Revenue Service. The combined awards total over $3 million.
Additionally, the court ordered forfeiture of dozens of valuables deemed proceeds of the fraud scheme, and the defendants who received prison terms also were sentenced to serve three years of supervised release upon their release.
Two other defendants in the case—Robert Ehnow, owner of L&N; Joanne Loehr, owner of Centerline; and the latter company itself, as a corporate entity—have entered not guilty pleas to bribery charges and are awaiting trial.
The investigation into the crimes was prompted by citizen complaints following the July 2009 indictment of six people on similar allegations at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command in San Diego, according to prosecutors.
As part of the SPAWAR corruption case, the government created a hotline dedicated to the reporting of possible waste, fraud and abuse in government and military contracts.

This is what happens when Sesame Street turns from a childhood dream to a horror-spoof nightmare.
Artist Isaac Bidwell created these cool tributes to your favorite films, with Sesame Street characters cast as the killers. Quite honestly, I've always suspected there was something wrong with Sunffleupagus. The way he is always sneaking up on Big Bird, then quickly disappearing, he's a serial stalker in the making. My favorites are Grover (wearing Oscar's face) cast as Leatherface and Ernie as Chucky. See them all below with an insanity-inducing remix of Elmo's Song as the soundtrack.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Facebook and other social media sites have been proven as effective tools in getting the word out about crimes and crime prevention, but they're not infallible.
Case in point: Yesterday, a Corsicana girl walking near Bowie was asked by a man in a car if she'd seen his dog. Reacting to her "stranger danger" training, the girl ran home and reported the encounter to her parents.
Late Monday night, police were called and investigators jumped on the issue, according to Police Chief Randy Bratton.
"The girl did the right thing, but there is no predator on the loose," he said.
Turns out, there really was a missing dog, and the man in the car also had his girlfriend and her children in the car with him at the time.
"There honestly was a subject who lost his dog," Bratton said. "It's all resolved. We're satisfied this was an honest situation."
Concerned parents began posting to Facebook about the situation before investigators had finished, and when the man identified himself, he began to get some pretty negative postings onto his site, Bratton said.
"Facebook was helpful and a problem at the same time," he said.

The U.S. Needs Washington's Birthday, Not Just President's Day
The United States should recognize the birthday of our first president as a holiday on its own.
It's almost that time of year again. President's Day, America's annual excuse for a three day weekend and a chance to buy stuff on sale, is upon us. Commercialized beyond even Christmas, the holiday once set aside to mark the birth of George Washington, "the father of our country," has lost all its meaning.
It wasn't always this way. Back when children still believed he chopped down his father's cherry tree, Washington was revered. Now that reverence and awe in which we once held him and the rest of the nation's founders has been lost, replaced by a continuing desire to "humanize" them and, in the process, cheapen their accomplishments.
Washington was a man among men: Planter, surveyor, inventor, politician, warrior, leader. For decades he was the very symbol of the nation he was twice elected to lead—unanimously, the only man to be so honored.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
Without Washington there would be no United States. He was, unique among most historical figures, the truly indispensible man. Yet the honor previously accorded his birth has been lost since 1968 when Congress, under the terms of the so-called "Long Weekend Act," moved his birthday from February 22 to the nearest convenient Monday.
It is remarkable indeed to think that the federal government is so powerful that it can actually "move" a person's birthday—but there you have it. Apparently a three-day weekend is more important than any formal recognition of Washington's accomplishments.
President Richard M. Nixon, who probably suspected even in 1969 that it was unlikely his birthday would ever become a national holiday, seized the opportunity Congress had handed to him—as I have written before—to proclaim Washington's Birthday as a day to remember of all the former presidents. "The father of our country" was thus reduced to a status equal to the lesser lights and virtual non-entities who occupied the nation's highest office, men like Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, and Franklin Pierce.
[See a slide show of the 10 youngest presidents.]
It's not as though Washington were not worth celebrating on his own. The holiday still in the formal sense, retains his name. The culture, on the other hand, chooses to make it about all former presidents, not just him. There may even be good reasons for this but, in the main, it is a mistake. Who but perhaps Lincoln can match what Washington—commander of the American troops in the War for Independence, first president of the United States, symbol of honor, dignity, and honesty—did for America. He brought the nation out of tyranny into the light of freedom and then, through wise leadership, secured for the new nation the time is desperately needed to form its own national character. For this reason above all others, the day must be reclaimed in his honor, and his alone, in order to reaffirm our shared national heritage.
It's time to change all that. Congress should enact, and President Barack Obama should sign, a law re-establishing February 22 as the official observance of Washington's Birthday. The nation needs a dose of historical perspective. Such a move would provide it.

Staff Writer
---- — Brooks Street resident Sal Tabit has dropped out of the School Committee race, leaving only two candidates for two open seats.
His decision to withdraw leaves race uncontested, with incumbent Paula Colby-Clements and former state Rep. Barbara L'Italien guaranteed to be School Committee members for the next three years.
Tabit was the second of four people to pull nomination papers to run for School Committee. Three returned the papers.
"After talking to several people and looking at some of the critical issues that are going to be facing the town and School Committee, I just realized that I wouldn't have the time, given my law practice, to fully develop the necessary time and resources to the School Committee," he said.
Tabit is an attorney with Broadhurst Tabit LLP, a Methuen-based law firm. He ran unsuccessfully for state representative in 1998 and 2010.
Colby-Clements pulled nomination papers to run for reelection early in the process, and Tabit pulled his soon after news broke that schools veteran Dick Collins wasn't running for re-election. L'Italien, on the other hand, both pulled papers on the final possible day and filed them with around 100 signatures within a window of just a few hours – only a couple hours before the deadline, she said.
She effectively went from barely entering the race to being a sure-fire member of the committee, which makes her "excited and eager to serve the town of Andover in this capacity," she said.
This election season is "unusual for me" given that she doesn't have to fight for a seat, she said.
Since she doesn't have to focus her energy running a campaign, "I go into this wanting to really listen and learn from the folks that are currently sitting on the School Committee," she said. "I want to find a way to be helpful to them and sort of compliment what they offer."
Recognizing that she has a lot to learn, L'Italien will spend the time meeting with teachers, parents and others in the school community.
"I know some of the local issues, but there's a lot I need to learn to be effective and helpful to my town," she said.
Though Colby-Clements and L'Italien are the only two names that will appear on the ballot, it's conceivable, if unlikely, they could still face some opposition on election day in the form of a write-in candidate.
Town Clerk Larry Murphy said he saw it happen once before, when an incumbent for office in his old town of West Newbury was upset by someone who wasn't even on the ballot. In Andover, former School Committee member Deb Silberstein ran an effective write-in campaign.
"It certainly happens," Murphy said. "There's no question about it."
The election will be held at the high school field house on March 26 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The deadline to register to vote is this co Wednesday, March 6. For more information, call the town clerk's office at 623-8255.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 4, 2011) – The U.S. Men's Pan American Games Volleyball Team fell to the Toray Arrows of Japan, 21-25, 25-20, 29-27, 25-19 in an exhibition match on Monday at Concordia University in Irvine, Calif.

Baseball standout inks with UNC-G
- Last Updated on 03:10 PM 11/15/12
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
Former Halifax County High School baseball standout Tyler Long, after having completed a successful two-year stint at Louisburg (N.C.) Junior College, has signed to play baseball at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro.
Long committed to the UNC-G Spartans three weeks ago and officially signed Wednesday.
At UNC-G Long will play under new head coach Link Jarrett, who was hired by UNC-G this past summer to take over the reigns of the Spartans baseball program. Jarrett is a two-time Assistant Coach of the Year award winner and has 13 years of coaching experience that includes stops at Florida State, East Carolina and Auburn.
The Spartans finished their 2012 season with a 25-27 overall record and a 10-20 record in Southern Conference play.
All three outfield positions are open at UNC-G for the coming season, and Long will compete for a starting nod in the outfield as well as have a possibility at seeing action as a pitcher.
Long had a solid season at Louisburg (N.C.) Junior College, batting .346, scoring 32 runs and tallying 30 RBIs. His on-base percentage was .440. He stole 10 bases and had a steal percentage of 76.92 percent.
The former Comets standout was also solid in the outfield with a .988 fielding percentage.
Louisburg (N.C.) Junior College, a two-year school, had one of the country's top-ranked NJCAA teams this past season.

When does a party become a riot? At most schools on our list it's shortly after the time the cops show up with tear gas. The difference at West Virginia University is that it's Tuesday, not Friday, and something is probably on fire. At yearly gatherings such as FallFest and St. Patrick's Day, thousands of strapping Mountaineers take to the streets to major in booze-fueled debauchery and minor in public disturbance. Intoxicated revelers run wild, clothes come off and, sometimes, couches burn. (Case in point: Anarchy broke out after WVU beat Texas last fall; more than 40 fires were reported.) In an effort to keep campus uprisings to a minimum—an arguably futile endeavor—fraternities are now assigned specific nights to hold court. The locals call Morgantown a drinking town with a football problem. We call it a seven-year plan with the possibility of parole.
Badgerland defines the "Work hard, play hard" maxim. Halloween celebrations last three days, but the library is always open. That philosophy must be working: Madison has spit out as many Fortune 500 CEOs as the Ivies. Tailgating is a winter religion here, but come snowmelt, blizzards are a distant memory as coeds soak up the sun on Bascom Hill and the State Street bar scene turns into a springtime bacchanalia. This is the land of beer and cheese, after all, and these scholars know what they're doing.
From the house parties on the Hill to the breweries of downtown Boulder, CU easily takes this year's bronze medal. Boulder's real claim to fame, the annual April 20 marijuana smoke-out, has been snuffed by campus authorities, but don't let that kill your buzz. The Rocky Mountains are within shooting distance, and Buffs regularly ditch books for snowboards. It doesn't hurt that the girls are as beautiful as the surrounding wilderness. Roll one and relax.
Being minutes from Hollywood has its perks. USC students attend an elite college in a dicey neighborhood, but the women look like models and L.A. luxuries abound, making this campus world-class. Thursday is the best night to let loose because Fratty Friday is an all-out, all-day affair. On weekends kids pile into party buses and head for the nation's hottest clubs or hop into a convertible for a wild evening in the Hollywood Hills. Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have donated millions to raise the next generation of entertainment talent, so count on having future stars and producers among your classmates. Better tighten up your elevator pitch, son.

Last week the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor [1] of disenfranchised felons in Washington, holding in a summary judgment order [2] that the state's practice of denying the vote to felons violates the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA). Notably, instead of basing their argument on the nature of the felon disenfranchisement law at issue, the case centered on the interaction between felon disenfranchisement and the discrimination in the criminal justice system itself. Plaintiffs argued that systemic racial discrimination in who is arrested, charged, convicted and punished for felonies in Washington combined with the otherwise racially-neutral disenfranchisement policy to result in racial discrimination in voting.
Evidence of this discrimination is compelling. As the Seattle Post Intelligencer has reported [1]:
[R]ecent Department of Corrections figures show that about 28 percent of the state's prison population is African-American, according to statistics cited in the suit. In contrast, African-Americans account for about 3 percent of Washington's population. A review of arrest records, the plaintiffs argued, showed that increased criminal behavior could not account for the disproportionately high incarceration rates among black Washingtonians.
Confronted with the evidence, two of three judges on the panel found "a durable, sustained indifference in treatment faced by minorities in Washington's criminal justice system — systemic disparities which cannot be explained by 'factors independent of race.'"
A Landmark Ruling for the Nation: This case is a landmark ruling as the first in the nation to find that the relationship between discriminatory criminal justice systems and felon disenfranchisement does indeed violate the VRA. Three other circuit courts have previously ruled on this issue. However, none of those courts entertained evidence of racial discrimination, finding that felon disenfranchisement laws didn't apply to the VRA. Now that the 9th Circuit, after actually examining evidence, has come to a different conclusion, the case is likely to be reviewed by the US Supreme Court, a request the Attorney General has indicated that he will make.
Reaction to the ruling has, not surprisingly, been largely uninformed, with many commentators seeming to believe that only intentional discrimination violates the VRA. In reality, it is the effect of the law and not its intent that matters under the statute. And, of course, many seem to be blissfully ignorant of the benighted history [3] of felon disenfranchisement laws, which were explicitly designed to reduce minority voting power at the time of their introduction in the 1800s. Perhaps the most telling response has come from the Attorney General of Washington who stated [4] that "The felon disenfranchisement laws of Washington and 47 other states hang in the balance." Of course, this is only true because as the AG tacitly acknowledges, the criminal justice systems in all of our states show signs of pervasive racial bias [5].
This ruling may also have some immediate reverberations in Virginia and Wisconsin where felon disenfranchisement is on the public agenda. In Virginia, it may give a lift to efforts by advocates [6] to have outgoing Gov. Tim Kaine order the restoration of all formerly-incarcerated felons currently disenfranchised. In Wisconsin, a law to automatically restore voting rights upon release from prison is also under consideration and the sponsor, Rep. Joe Parisi, has lauded the ruling [7] as a vindication of his views.

I mean business about science fiction and geek culture.
You read that right. NASA wants volunteers for their four-month simulation to Mars. But instead of conducting tests on confinement and psychological stress, NASA just want to study your tastebuds.
According to Mashable,
The space agency is looking for applicants to eat astronaut food for four months during a simulated trip to the Red Planet. Participants will try instant foods, and ones with shelf-stable ingredients, and scientists will record their reactions. The goal of the experiment is to discover what foods people like to consume consistently.
Astronaut ice cream aside, limited supplies (such as flour, sugar and dried meat), and no chance of fresh food limits the space-based diet. This study will gauge if participants can avoid "menu fatigue," that is, becoming tired of eating the same foods. The study background states that if menu fatigue occurs, astronauts' "overall food intake declines, putting them at risk for nutritional deficiency, loss of bone and muscle mass, and reduced physical capabilities."
There are a few catches, of course. Among others, you have to have a bachelor's degree in either math, engineering, biological or physical sciences, or computer science; you have to be a non-smoker; you have to speak English. Then if you are chosen, you have to live astronaut-style: in a small enclosure with strangers, with limited showers, writing daily reports.
But in addition to the free food, those chosen for the study will be given cooking classes and taught to work in space's microgravity environment. They will also earn round-trip travel to Hawaii, lodgings…and $5,000.
There also seems to be a lot of down-time in this study. But hey, you won't be slacking. You'll be hanging out…for science!
You can apply for the study here.
You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and here at Forbes.
What absolute stupidity. This is an outrageous waste of money!!! If the stated goal is as written… "to discover what foods people like to consume consistently"…then just go get a list of best selling items at any SUPERMARKET! And I can tell you, right now, the foods most people like to consume consistently….icecream, chocolate, burgers, fries and…icecream, chocolate, burgers and fries. You can thank me now…and you don't have to pay people for 4 months or send them on a free trip to Hawaii. Stop any person on the street and get the answers you need…for FREE!!!
Lin – Many of the foods that you mention can't be prepared in zero-gravity or in a spaceship environment. There some pretty interesting practical limitations on what can be cooked and what can't, so just a trip to the supermarket doesn't provide adequate data for the study. Hence, the experiment.
hey lin, they arent wasting ny money by this.. Its the part of the research.. N u cant cook fries there mate..
I will participate but only if I can use the space toilet.
Choose an all female astronaut crew. Fatten them up for a few months before sending them off to Mars. Weight loss from menu fatigue won't be a problem. Not only will everybody be glad to see them when they get back but they'll be all atwitter about how good they look.
The tabloids will out-do themselves reporting on the new diet scheme and NASA will benefit from the publicity.
Sometimes, I'm so smart I scare me. Other times I have to sneak up on myself to do it.
Going to pay an athletic person with a degree $5000.00 for 4 months of living in a tank eating crappy food? It will be a short list of people signing up.
A lil Bone Lee's Hot Sauce will help with that "Menu Fatigue"…!!!!! Hot and Tasty…!!!!!
Why volunteer for such misery when you can order Space Foods Sticks online? Peanut butter are my favorite.

Secretive Energy Industry Giant Funding State-Based Groups Denying Climate Change
Charles Monaco on April 22, 2010 - 12:32pm
The drumbeat of research papers, talking heads and issue briefs attacking the scientific consensus around climate change has been carefully bankrolled by the oil and gas industry. This includes Koch Industries, the energy industry giant and second-largest privately held corporation in the country, which is a key funder of a vast network of right-wing groups -- including many focused on state policy -- who have promoted climate change denial, according to a recent report released by Greenpeace. Foundations controlled by Koch Industries even outspent industry titans like ExxonMobil in giving millions to organizations and front groups that routinely deny climate change and work to obstruct the regulation of carbon emissions.
Charles and David Koch, brothers tied for the rank of 9th richest American, have for decades been major funders of the national right-wing movement. Koch Industries and its subsidiaries, the vast majority of whose assets are controlled by the Koch brothers, encompasses the operation of oil systems, pipelines and refineries, coal supply and trading, and oil and gas exploration efforts.
According to the Greenpeace report, which analyzed the finances of various Koch-related foundations, the Koch brothers funneled $24.9 million from the years 2005-2008 to research organizations involved in discrediting the findings of climate science. This includes the funding of many state-level pro-business nonprofit and policy organizations who have promoted climate denial:
- $360,000 to the Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy, a San Francisco-based group active in state policy that funded a film attacking Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth"
- $283,125 to the Texas Public Policy Foundation, which has funded reports questioning the severity of climate change and warning of the damage that regulation might cause to Texas' state economy
- $85,000 to the Independence Institute, a right-wing/libertarian Colorado organization which has hosted events mocking "environmental hysteria and the cult of climate change"
- $70,000 to the Goldwater Institute, which has fought passage of renewable energy standards in the state of Arizona
- $60,000 to the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, the large conservative policy outfit in Michigan which routinely spreads climate change myths
- $30,000 to the State Policy Network, a corporate-funded organization which has participated in spreading the work of climate change deniers at the state level
- $10,000 to the John Locke Foundation, a North Carolina-based conservative think tank focused on state and local issues that has published materials promoting climate change denial
And the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has received $75,000 in the last couple of years, part of over $400,000 it received from the Koch network of sources in the last decade. ALEC's work on behalf of the energy industry has included placing energy industry executives on its natural resources task force, writing model legislation that would obstruct attempts to limit carbon emissions, and approvingly citing the work of climate change deniers in its publications.
Other conservative foundations involved in denying climate change who received significant funding from the Koch foundations include the Heritage Foundation ($1.6 million from 2005-2008), the Cato Institute ($1.0 million), the Manhattan Institute ($800,000), the Washington Legal Foundation ($655,000), the Federalist Society ($542,000), and the Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment ($365,000). In total, the report reveals that over the past 13 years, Koch-associated foundations have contributed an astonishing $48 million in grants to right-wing groups who have worked to discredit the science of climate change.
The worrying implications of this well-funded effort to promote scientific denialism are becoming clearer as recent polls have shown a significant drop in the percentage of Americans who are aware of the threat of global warming.
Koch Industries has responded to the Greenpeace report by claiming that they believe "the political response to climate issues should be based on sound science" and asserting that they've simply "strived to encourage an intellectually honest debate on the scientific basis for claims of harm from greenhouse gases." But by funding a multi-million dollar national network of groups with a common focus of discrediting the widely accepted scientific consensus on climate change (including many with a specific focus on the fight in the states), it is clear that Koch's real goal is to promote myths and misinformation in order to boost their own profits at the expense of both our nation's global economic competitiveness and our planet's environmental health.

$99 brings MIDI to the iPhone/iPad. Another sharp video from Nick at Sonic State. This isn't for me right now now but maybe there will be a killer App to take advantage of the MIDI Mobilizer. On some level Apps like Funkbox would be great to sync up to Ableton but on the other hand it's so easy to import the loops as plain audio and make them fit… Who knows maybe we will be playing our live shows off phones.
"As it comes, the MIDI Mobilizer is probably best suited to backing up patches in your MIDI gear – the perfect companion for the touring tech. True, MIDI sequence playback is also possible and may work fine for many situations, but the lack of sophistication in the included App may be a problem. I'm sure that real soon, we'll see some more Apps that take advantage of the hardware." – sonicstate.com

Tuesday 22 May 2012
Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm believes the club can go from strength to strength following their impressive Barclays Premier League debut.
Brendan Rodgers' side finished 11th and won many admirers for their style of football during the campaign.
Their notable scalps included a memorable 3-2 win at the Liberty Stadium against Arsenal in January, and a 1-0 home triumph against eventual Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City.
To add to their success, they also topped the Premier League's Fair Play Table.
"I'm already looking forward to next year"
- Michel Vorm
Vorm told Swansea's website: "The way we have played has been brilliant.
"We got better and better throughout the season and that's why I'm already looking forward to next year.
"It's special because nobody knew me when I first came here. But I have bonded well with the players and the supporters, and Brendan Rodgers has been a big influence on me as well.
"It's not just about 11 players, but more about the way we played. We kept 14 clean sheets and beat some of the biggest teams in the world, so it's been amazing really.
"Everyone is so proud, not just the supporters but the squad as a whole and the staff as well."
Vorm's excellent form has earned him a call-up to the Netherlands squad for the summer's Euro 2012 championship in Poland and Ukraine.
"It's a great competition to play in and I've already been involved in a World Cup, so the season is not over yet," he said.
"Many great players have not managed to play in the tournament over the years so it's great for me that I'm going to be involved."

Evolution Says You're Weaker and More Disease Prone Than Your Ancestors
Scientist says humans are evolving desirable personalities while sacrificing survival traits
Humans are growing weaker, more disease prone, and just might be developing some manners, according to a new study that asserts humans are still evolving according to Charles Darwin's natural selection theory.
Modern medicine and a move away from an agrarian society have made the hunter-gatherer traits that were once necessary to survive obsolete, according to Alexandre Courtiol, the German scientist and lead author of the report, which was published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Courtiol says that thousands of years ago, people died from genetic illnesses that are no longer death sentences with the help of modern medicine. That in turn means people can pass along their genes to their children before they die.
[Can Evolution Outpace Climate Change?]
"What we found was evolution did not stop 10,000 years ago as some scientists thought. In the mid 1800s, the strength of selection was very high—they're very comparable to animal species," he says.
Courtiol also says that humans have been evolving away from the original hunter-gatherer Homo sapiens that appeared about 200,000 years ago. In fact, he says we may have evolved far enough to consider ourselves an entirely new species.
"The change from one species to another is something you can only notice with the perspectivity of time," he says. "If we could travel back in time to meet early humans, I'm not sure if we'd be able to reproduce with the people of the time."
Several scientists have proposed that humans have stopped evolving according to natural selection—the small genetic advantages that make an individual more likely to have children—due to widespread monogamy that limited the amount of sexual partners humans had. Courtiol's study found that even in monogamous populations, humans still evolve according to natural selection.
[Tennessee Bill Would Allow Creationism in the Classroom]
The team, using very thorough birth and death records from the mid-1800s that were kept by Finnish churches, found that people who were able to live past the age of 15 were best able to pass along their genes to the next generation, which may have weeded out certain genetic conditions. Men were also 25 percent more likely to pass along their genes than their partners, because they were more likely to remarry after a partners' death, according to the records.
Courtiol says the story is different in modern times. To accurately demonstrate natural selection—perhaps the key component of species evolution—scientists need to study an entire population's birth and death records and try to determine the small advantages that made it more likely for a person to have a child. But by assessing cultural and medicinal trends, he says it's likely women are no longer going for the biggest, burliest guy they can find.
[Bringing Evolutionary Science to the Classroom]
"Traits influencing survival are no longer evolving, because with medicine, they're less important today," he says. "What's more important today is what makes you able to find a partner and how many offspring you have. Today we're probably evolving psychological personality traits, which are more important today than they used to be."
So while people might be passing along genes that turn children into impeccable guitar players or star athletes, they are also passing along things like susceptibility to cold weather or lackluster endurance.
"Natural selection is a bit like politics, there's tradeoffs. You can't be good in every aspect," Courtiol says. "If we're selecting based on cognitive traits, you put less stock into your physical body, your strength."

I'm a geek & author covering self-publishing & crowdfunding
The Order of the Stick Reprint Drive became the first book project on Kickstarter to cross the million dollar mark last night. Currently sitting at $1,072,528 raised from 12,797 backers and with 23 hours to go, comic book artist Rich Burlew has now put all other crowdfunded comics and publishing projects in the shade by one or two orders of magnitude. The question that authors and artists are now asking themselves is, how?
Kickstarter has unarguably proven its worth as a business model for creatives, with two other projects also breaking the million dollar barrier over the last fortnight. The Elevation Dock, an innovative dock for iPhones, raised$1,464,706 from 12,521 backers. And Double Fine Adventure, a video game project from Double Fine and 2 Player Productions, today passed the $2 million mark with more than 60,000 supporters and 22 days to go. It seems reasonable to think that it could raise $4 million or more in total.
So sceptics should put aside their cynicism: Kickstarter, and sites like it, are now incontrovertibly capable of funding a diverse array of creative projects at very high levels. As an author, it's exciting to see Kickstarter raising money at a level that competes with some of the biggest advances that you'll see on offer from traditional publishing. Those advances are usually reserved for celebrities or established best-sellers, but Kickstarter now brings that sort of funding within reach of almost everyone.
The devil is in the details, however, and Burlew's project provides some interesting insight into where the challenges lie for anyone wanting to replicate his success.
The most important thing, I would argue, is that Burlew has a huge fanbase. He's drawn the Order of the Stick (OOTS) comic strip for the last nine years, producing over 800 strips in the process. He's already got a number of books in his back catalogue that he wants to get back into print, and his fans very clearly want that too. He has lot of people who are not just willing to stump up their own money, they are also very happy to spread the word outside of their own community.
In short, Burlew has reach.
In the case of the Elevator Dock, that reach came via the media with coverage from Wired, the New York Times, Gizmodo, SlashGear, TNW, GigaOM and many, many others. And for Double Fine, again, it's a matter of having been around since 2000, producing a critically acclaimed game, Psychonauts, and picking up a slew of loyal fans along the way.
There's also a sense of adventure with these projects. They aimed high. Burlew asked for $57,750, the Elevation Dock goal was $75,000, and Double Fine hoped for $400,000.
Looking at the fiction section of Kickstarter, few ask for those kinds of sums. In fact, when I looked at a selection of the most recent successful fiction projects, the average requested was $3,000, and the average raised was $3,600. Modest, yes. And doable, certainly. But not ambitious.
I think that's because authors and small publishers don't have communities big enough to support more substantial book publication projects. I know I don't. My next Kickstarter project is likely to ask for $5,000 with the hope that I overfund a bit. If my success rate is 1 percent (equivalent to a direct mail campaign), and let's say I need 150 backers, then I need to reach 15,000 people, which is about doable given my network.
Social media, of course, makes reaching that many people technically simpler but it certainly doesn't make it quick or easy. Indeed, when I look at my author friends on Twitter, I'm struck by how few followers many of them have, even the ones with critically acclaimed books on the shelves. The few exceptions are already best sellers and their fans simply migrate to wherever they can gain access to their favourite writers.
"But to really explore the opportunities that authors have in this online, networked, social world of ours, we have to rethink the very basic. It's not enough to write good stories. You need to manage a mailing list of fans, be on Twitter and/or Facebook, have a blog, and be willing to put in the hard graft required to build an audience."
Except that Rich Burlew, your primary example, doesn't have a mailing list of fans, isn't on Twitter, isn't on Facebook (although a fan started running a page for Order of the Stick there), and doesn't really have a blog (giantitp.com has a News feed, but at best, it averages one post a month, and sometimes goes quiet for four months at a time.) He certainly did build an audience through hard work, though.
Order of the Stick has a bulletin board besides the comic. The bulletin board has about 160,000 30-day unique site visitors. That's where the audience is.
I interpreted the article as "author has to have a community", not that it has to be one of those four explicit social media: mailing list, twitter, facebook, blog.
I wish my Kickstarter
would revive that kind of love.
Still A heartfelt congrats to a talented man!
If you look closely, you can see an example of precisely how Burlew looks after his fans – his 26 updates and continual tweaking of the Kickstarter reward levels exemplifies audience engagement, even within the Kickstarter framework.
An excellent, article that highlights the reality of doing Kickstarter. Author's have to extend their reach and build their networks much more to find success like this. I think it will gradually become easier and help comics a lot.
Very good article, yes authors needs a good fanbase and community. This should be a good example that you can earn money without big publishers. (Also a warning to "old media") Internet is so big, there can be really bad content but there are people like Rich and i'm really happy to see their success. As a fan of order of the stick it is also good to know that Rich saw the power of his art. He will continue to create good stuff and we will continue to watch him.

Bruins Nation takes a look at UCLA's secondary for 2009 season. The unit has the potential to revive Bruin tradition of featuring great defensive backs.
Head coach Rick Neuheisel has a simple methodology when it comes to two-a-day practices: Work on the mind, not on the body. His line of thinking is quite simple: Work in the summer to get the physical side down — run, jump, lift, squat, bleed, sweat, cry. Work in the fall to get everything else prepared. "Kind of an analogy would be, this is just loading up the kitchen," Neuheisel said. "Bringing all the shop bags in, you get everybody involved and you put everything away and the cupboards are all stocked. Then you hope you just haven't bruised the fruit."Neuheisel On Two-A-Days (which ended yesterday)

ADOPT A FRIEND - "Luke" the Valedictorian Dog
The good Samaritan that found Little "Luke" on 9/6/12 couldn't keep him so Prince George's Animal Control picked him up and brought him to the shelter. He is in great health except for suffering from a case of Demodectic mange which he is being treated for and should be clean as a whistle very soon. See Tip of the Week for information regarding this infection.
NAME: "Luke"
AGE: 10 Months
GENDER: Male
BREED: Lab mix
WEIGHT: Approximately 30 lbs
COLOR: Black with cute little white feet
HOBBIES: Playing with his plush toy, loves to carry it in his mouth. Playing fetch
PERSONALITY: Very generous. Will share his favorite toy with you. He is very smart and has learned to play fetch, sit, come and the basics of house breaking in a very short time at the shelter. He is very loyal and will bond easily with his new human companion. He always wants to please.
If you or anyone you know is interested in adopting the wonderful pet featured this week, please call the Prince George's Animals Management Facility in Upper Marlboro at 301-780-7201 to check on the availability. You may also visit www.pgamd.petfinder.com or www.petharbor.com to see many more precious pets that are available for adoption.
Don't be afraid of Demodectic Mange
What causes Demodectic Mange in Dogs?
All dogs raised normally by their mothers possess demodectic mange mites (Demodex canis), which are transferred from mother to pup via cuddling during the first few days of life. Most dogs live in harmony with their mites, never suffering any consequences.
Localized cases occur when these mites proliferate in one or two small, confined areas. This results in isolated scaly bald patches-usually on the dog's face-creating a polka-dot appearance. Localized demodicosis is considered a common ailment of puppyhood, and approximately 90% of cases resolve with no treatment of any kind.
Is Demodectic Mange Contagious?
Current thinking is that Demodex mites can be transferred from one dog to another-but as long as the dog is healthy, the mites dimply add to the dog's natural mite population and no skin disease results. Isolation of dogs with even the most severe cases is still felt to be unnecessary-though in rare circumstances, contagion is possible. While there are still different theories about dog-to-dog transmission of Demodex mites, it is accepted that mites cannot be transmitted to humans or to cats.
What Are the General Symptoms of Demodectic Mange in Dogs?
Demodectic mange tends to cause hair loss, bald spots, scabbing and sores. Secondary bacterial infections can make demodectic mange an itchy and uncomfortable disease.
What Should I Do If I think My Dog Has Demodectic Mange?
Take your dog to a veterinarian, who will perform a physical exam, analyze skin scrapings and try to confirm the presence of mange mites with a microscope. It can be difficult to identify mange mites if they're buried deep in a dog's skin, so your vet may rely on clinical signs or your pet's history to make a final diagnosis.
How Is Demodectic Mange Treated?
Depending on the type of mange and the breed of your dog, medication may be given orally or applied topically, by injection, or via shampoo and dip.
Medications and managing physiological stress are essential when treating demodectic mange. Some infected dogs may also require special treatment-such as medicated shampoos-for secondary skin infections.
Please note, many skin treatments can be toxic to dogs and should not be repeated frequently, so check with your vet before beginning any treatment program for mange.

I walked into the Suds and Grub Café about an hour before closing time Monday night.
"You were supposed to be here four hours ago," Crutch Crupnik said.
Normally that wouldn't have been a problem, but there were only four blocks left on the Super Bowl pool, and the guys were waiting to see if I wanted any of them.
As I wrote my name in the blocks and handed Crutch a $20 bill, Junior Miller asked me how I got the cuts on my hands.
"My wife and I have been removing wallpaper," I said.
That prompted a loud groan from the café regulars.
Sam Shady of Shady, Fishy and Krooks, the accounting firm that handles my taxes, was quick to respond. He, too, arrived late because he is busy with tax season.
"I would rather pick gnats off a stink bug than remove wallpaper," he said.
I didn't have the guts to confess that it had taken my wife and me nearly two days to remove several layers of flowered paper from an upstairs bedroom.
The chore started innocently enough.
"Since there's no football game the Sunday before the Super Bowl, why don't we paint the guest room?" she suggested.
But before we could paint, the old wallpaper had to be stripped off.
Anyone who has ever removed wallpaper will associate with my dilemma.
I knew that disagreeing with her only would have landed me in the doghouse.
We decided to tackle the task as a team.
After gathering a couple paint scrapers to peel the paper, we entered the room.
Had I known what we were about to experience, I would have brought some sledgehammers and chisels.
We are not novices when it comes to peeling paper. We had a bucket filled with a mixture of two-parts fabric softener to one-part water that should dissolve most glues.
We scored the paper and dabbed the walls with a sponge, then waited for the mixture to do its job. We even chatted about what color to paint the room.
"It's not coming off," my wife said as she attempted to pry a corner.
It soon became apparent that the pressing question was, how do we remove the wallpaper without damaging the wall – or ourselves?
I swear it took us four hours to remove just one 5-foot section.
In an uncharacteristic fit of rage, my wife threw her scraper across the room and said she had had enough.
"We'll just paint over it," she said, storming out of the room.
Desperate, I went to the computer to see if any other concoction would help us remove the paper.
One website suggested mixing vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
Since I didn't have a spray bottle, I got the brilliant idea of deploying my pump garden sprayer that I use to apply insecticide to my tomato plants.
The vinegar mixture seemed to work as one corner of a wallpaper strip actually came loose.
I was making a real mess, though, and the carpet was getting soaked from the spray.
It was then that my wife regained her composure and came back into the room.
As the carpet squished under her feet, I thought I was going to get an earful for not putting down a drop cloth.
But she spied the loose corner and wrestled the sprayer from my hands, saying, "It's working. Give it to me."
By spraying and scraping, we finally started to make progress.
Our kitchen is now the only room in the house with wallpaper.
My wife suggested we hire someone to remove the last vestige of wallpaper.
"You mean someone does this for a living?" I quipped.
If I do win the football pool, I know part of my winnings will be used to purchase a "help wanted" sign.

375 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Hazy orange. A little hazy and murky looking. Nice white head. Gushed a little.
Smell - Citrusy. White wine. Bright and acidic. Hoppy orange with some lemony aromas.
Taste - Very bright orange citrus. Acidic white wine. Grainy malts. White wine lingers past the citrus flavors, but the hops come through to provide some bitterness in the back.
Mouthfeel - Crisp. Dare I say refreshing. Well carbonated.
Overall - Extremely impressive. This review is from the first time I had this beer, which was pretty fresh. I was surprised to find this review after years. It does lose its punch and unique hop flavors after a while, but it remains a good beer.

Bottle pour at the tasting at la casa de dirtinabottle.
It slowly gurgles out of the bottle after opening, needs to settle for a second before we open it. It's alive!
Pours a dark peach color, with a one inch head, and small little dots of lacing.
Just an incredible fresh fruit touch in the aroma- melon, orange, pineapple, lemon, some white wine.
The taste is similar, but the funk has clearly taken over the proceedings at this age. Fruity, slightly chalky Brett flavors abound, some barnyard funk, light acidity, melon, orange, pineapple, lemon, white wine acidity. A little bit of hop presence is tasted near the end, of the zesty, citrusy variety. Lingering acidity.
Medium bodied, juicy but crisp mouthfeel. For all the flavors, this is quite drinkable.
One of the most interesting and well-crafted beers I've ever had. Shaun Hill is a genius.

Reviewing the infamous Juicy from Hill Farmstead Brewery out of Greensboro Bend, Vermont. This dry hopped saison is aged in the barrels that were used to age Mimosa.
Score: 95
November 2012 vintage bottle served in a Darkness chalice and enjoyed on 03/19/14. Review is from iPhone notes.
Appearance: Pours a nice murky orange color with a finger of off-white head that settles to a thick ring around the glass and splotchy, wispy coating. Amazing lacing and retention; crazy cling. 4.75/5
Smell: Apricot, grapefruit, grapes, a touch of barnyard funk and sweet malt. Really nice tropical juiciness, wine character and young-ish saison aroma mix. Warms up to a little bit of lacto and PDO comes out of the woodwork into the mix. 4.5/5
Taste: Bready malt and white wine, following by grapefruit/stone fruit and a little tannic acidity. Straw-like flavor and tropical juiciness in the finish, lingering with just a kiss of funk. Really nice flavors here, blending gracefully. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel: Light-plus bodied, good carbonation. Juicy mouthfeel with a dry finish. Nice earthiness with a good light tartness. 4.5/5
Overall: Many have said this beer aged is a shell of its former fresh self, but I found it to be delicious aged nearly a year and a half regardless of how much better it may or may not have been fresh. Relative to Dry Hopped L'Brett D'Or, as aged, my palate prefers Juicy. With ample tropical juiciness, a nice wine character and a dry finish, this beer offers lots of complexity. Drink 'em now fellas.
Cost: $8 for a 375 ml bottle.

Bottle from Hill Farmstead.
Poured into a HF white-logo fest glass (rarwale). Cloudy orange-amber color, with a small, puffy, white head that retained well and laced the glass nicely. Delectable aroma, oaky, white wine, grassy, light citrus and mild funk. Lots of citrusy tang in the taste, assertive but delicate hop bitterness, white grapes and a nicely defined barrel character, with a slight sour twinge, crisp tropical fruit notes, mild grassy funk, pulpy and juicy (harhar) orange and lemon lingering into the aftertaste. Very light and toasty malts. Medium body, clean and crisp mouthfeel. Complexity through the roof. I would have called this "juicy" even if it wasn't the actual name of the beer. I may never have this beer again, but I definitely want to...

Bottle generously provided by Tom and shared by Kyle. Thank you both so very much!
Pours a clouded orange with a thin white skim. Looks very enticing when backlit.
Smells is predominantly saison-y....green pear, loads of pepper, funky, and yeast with only a faint hint of tart. It's nice but subtle, if not a tad muted.
Tastes much different than it smells. The front end is a wonderful tangerine-grapefruit blast that coats the tongue and lingers on the lips for a good long while. When the beer hits the back of the tongue it transitions into a very dry and sandpaper finish with a light sulfur fade.
Such an interesting beer with a very noticeable transition from front to back. The juiciness sticks to your lips and front of the tongue while the dry finish just hangs on the back of the palate. Like no beer I've ever tasted.
Another beer I feel very fortunate to have tried and am appreciative of the opportunity.

A: pours a murky redish/brown with a small head. Not any hint of a gusher like some mention
S: Actually reminds me a little of a slightly soured Saison, but in a good way. Very peppery, funky and a slight touch of tangerine/grapefruit.
T: It has a some OJ/grapefuit flavors. Very dry on the back with a very good citrus quality. Barnyard, hay and straw.
M: Light on your tongue but coating at the same time.

Pour is copper orange with a thin tan head that dissipates immediately. Nose is fruity, light hints of brett and some peppery yeasty notes with some malt lingering in. Lots of mango and tropical fruit. Taste is sweet and fairly bright. Brett is underneath but a hint disorganized. Lots of mango and pineapple. Tropical fruits with the Brett and notes of muddled malt trough the finish. Body is light with very strong carbonation as semi dry finish.

375ml Bottle split between some great BA friends. Been waiting to open this one for a while.
A: Lighter than expected - a tinge of cloudy orange. A gusher but was to be expected from a HF wild ale.
S: Amazing, I think only Flora has a better nose. Wine and fruit and hops. Lemon/tangerine/dry white wine. Can smell a bit of funk seeping through the citrus. Some nice hop aroma at the end.
T: Brett on the tongue. Citrus and a moderate bitterness through the middle. Wine-soaked tangerines and a slight hint of grapefruit through the finish. Complex and delicious. Hard not to gulp the entire bottle down.
M: Moderate. Not as thin as the color suggested. Nicely carbed (could have been the year in the bottle that did it)
O: Cliche to say - I didn't think this could live up to the hype - but it did. The tasting group was blown away by this one, and I can't wait to snag another now that it's been rebrewed.
If you have the ammo, definitely trade for this one. My 2nd favorite HF beer of all time, behind the mighty Flora.

5th Avenue Theatre Will Premiere New Musical Secondhand Lions; Season Announced
By Adam Hetrick
Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre has announced dates of production for the world-premiere musical Secondhand Lions, based on the 2003 film of the same title, which will be presented as part of the company's 2013-14 season.
Earlier reports indicated that Secondhand Lions, which has a book by Tony Award winner Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Curtains) and a score by First Date songwriters Michael Weiner and Alan Zachary, would premiere at the 5th Avenue in August.
Representatives have now confirmed that the production will launch the Seattle company's season Sept. 10-Oct. 6. Scott Schwartz (Batboy, Golda's Balcony, Jane Eyre) will direct.
"This world premiere musical," according to the 5th Avenue, "harkens back to a simpler time, when a boy's imagination was all that was needed to turn a summer on a Texas farm into the adventure of a lifetime. The tall tales that his two irascible uncles tell him – stories of heroism, hidden treasures, and beguiling princesses – take our young hero to the sands of Arabia and beyond."
The national tour of the Tony Award-winning revival of Cole Porter's Anything Goes, staged by Tony winner Kathleen Marshall, will run Oct. 15-Nov. 3. Also planned is a resident production of Lionel Bart's Oliver!, which will be staged Nov. 29-Dec. 31.
The 5th Avenue is also presenting original productions of Monty Python's Spamalot, by Eric Idle, John Du Prez and Neil Innes (Jan. 30-March 2, 2014); the Jeffrey Stock-Marc Acito musical A Room With a View, based on the E.M. Forster novel and directed by David Armstrong (April 8-May 4, 2014); and Bill Berry directing the Alan Menken-Howard Ashman musical Little Shop of Horrors, in a co-production with A Contemporary Theatre (April 12-June 29, 2014).
The 5th Avenue will also welcome the national tour of the Tony Award-winning revival of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess (June 11-29, 2014).

Chilling body doesn't stop bacterial infection
R. Facklam, J. Carr/CDC
Lowering the body temperature of individuals with severe bacterial meningitis may not help improve patients' health and could do more harm than good, a new study suggests.
The results, which appear November 27 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, are similar to recently reported findings that suggest that induced hypothermia is not as helpful or safe for treating individuals with cardiac arrest as once thought.

RALEIGH — Soon after he started work as the state aviation director a few years ago, Richard J. Walls discovered a sweet fleet of aircraft in the state Department of Transportation hangar at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
Too sweet for the state's needs, he says, and too costly to operate.
Now as a DOT deputy secretary, Walls has worked out a plan to sell a twin-engine Sikorsky helicopter, a Cessna jet and a King Air turbo-prop. He'll replace them with three more fuel-efficient aircraft that are smaller and slower – but, he says, more than adequate for the demands of DOT and other agencies that use them.
"We want to get a fleet that matches our mission better," Walls said. "It's a very regional mission. Mainly we fly inside North Carolina. And to Washington, D.C., occasionally."
He expects to sell the old ones for a bit more than it will cost to buy the new ones. He says DOT will save about $500,000 a year in reduced operating costs.
State agencies use the DOT fleet of one chopper and three fixed-wing aircraft to survey disaster recovery efforts and to chauffeur government leaders on official business, and for economic-development missions and aerial photogrammetry.
The 1998 eight-passenger Cessna Citation Bravo jet flies as fast as 390 knots, at a cost of about $2,000 an hour. That might be a good fit if state officials needed it for frequent trips halfway across the United States, Walls said, but not for their short hops from Raleigh to Wilmington.
He has his eye on a 2009 or newer TBM 850 one-engine turbo-prop that seats four and travels at 250 knots. The cost to operate it is $500 to $600 an hour, he said. DOT's new frontline plane will be the only one Walls plans to keep, a nine-passenger King Air that gets 290 knots.
To replace a seven-seat Sikorsky helicopter that only flies 70 hours a year, he'll get a five-seat Bell helicopter that DOT can share with the State Highway Patrol.
"When we go to the Bell, we'll have a shared asset we think will fly 300 hours a year," Walls said.
Walls didn't hire a consultant for this. He doesn't have a report. Just his own spreadsheet.
He said he's being conservative in his calculations that DOT will be able to update its fleet without new funds from the legislature. The 1998 Sikorsky has been appraised at $5.5 million, but if it brings at least $4.2 million, he'll have more than enough.
"It's great to be more efficient," Walls said. "But if you've got to spend $2 million to get there, it wouldn't make sense to do it."

HOUSTON -- The light rain we're seeing Thursday afternoon is the beginning of the next storm system that is moving in. The rain has come in earlier than expected, but it'll last overnight and into Friday, said KHOU 11 News Meteorologist David Paul.
Conditions for your Thursday evening commute home will be drizzly and misty. Please take your time on the roads.
The rain Thursday night is more widespread south of Houston because of the moisture coming off the Gulf of Mexico. Overnight the rain will continue, but temps will be about 15 degrees warmer than they were Wednesday night.
There is potential for some areas to get heavy rain on Friday.
The rain will clear out this weekend, with lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s for Saturday and Sunday.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
— Dig deeper, local film buffs.
It appears it'll take a few more dollars than initially estimated to renovate the city's Con Foster Museum and turn it into a State Theatre sibling dubbed Bijou by the Bay.
But costs won't reach the startling $1.5 million level a Traverse City Film Festival official cited last week, though at $800,000 the latest price tag is higher than initial projections. The good news is city taxpayers aren't on the hook for the Bijou. Even better, the new theater will add another outstanding element to the recently upgraded Clinch Park and will benefit the city. The Bijou's costs will be borne by Traverse City Film Festival supporters, as enthusiastic a group of local boosters as any out there. They'll pony up and pay the bill.
Crews are working at break-neck pace to wrap the Bijou project by July 29, a day before projectors roll for Film Festival 2013. The Bijou will serve as not only another venue for the Film Festival, but also will provide State Theatre officials a long-desired second screen and allow them to show more first-run, mainstream movies.
The Bijou seems like an excellent use for a boarded-up, 80-year-old building that's likely to become quite a hot spot, particularly during pleasant-weather months. Even in winter the new theater will be a quick hike from downtown or city parking lots through a thankfully refurbished tunnel under Grandview Parkway.
There's been plenty of grousing from some quarters about the heave ho given to some of Clinch Park's old standbys, in particular the zoo and mini-train, but overall the new setup plays better to a wider audience, including those who don't share the same sense of nostalgia for the ousted attractions.
Aside from the nasty kids-sprayed-with-sewage incident during the Cherry Festival, the new Clinch Park seems to be a hit. The coming attraction Bijou promises to add to the luster.
