The Induced Meandering of the Lenten Season
On Ash Wednesday, a reminder from the natural world to slow down, meander rather than rush, and allow life to sink in.
It's one of my favorite phrases related to rainwater harvesting: induced meandering. The premise is simple. Whenever you can encourage rainwater runoff to slow down, to take a more circuitous route, to wind its way down a hill rather than rush full speed toward the gutter, storm drain, or gully below, you increase the likelihood for induced meandering — and the likelihood that this runoff can become a resource rather than a nuisance.
When runoff slows down, it sinks in as it flows down slope. As the water sinks in, it irrigates plants. This not only provides water for those particular plants but, over time and given enough precipitation, refills the groundwater tables below, contributing to the overall health of the surrounding region.
Take, for example, geraniums. The geraniums in my garden never get watered, unless it is by the rain. In Baja California, Mexico the dry period is typically between April and November. These geraniums live with basically no overt watering for six to seven months.
When it does rain, those geraniums are fed by the stream that flows, winds, and meanders past them. This runoff, from the road above, can be fairly strong. But as it makes its way down hill it is slowed down by both organic matter and loose granite along the path. At a certain point, the stream encounters a speed bump and makes its way into the garden, continuing to wind its way past an avocado tree, a plum, on toward an almond and from that down to an apple. Typically this is as far as it gets, but were the rain and the flow slightly stronger it would continue on its way to the orange, down past the artichoke, and on to the guava.
The premise behind induced meandering is not just to slow the water down, to give it time to sink in, but also to ensure that, as much as possible, the rainwater doesn't leave the property but is all used, absorbed, and planted back into the ground.
So, how does one induce induced meandering? Easy.
Observation. It is important to first watch how the water flows in a given area. Where does it come from? Where does it go? Where does it run fast and where does it slow down? Observe the path and pattern of the water.
Action. Once you have observed the patterns of the water it is time to experiment. How might the water be slowed in the fast areas? Typically this is done by either spreading it out, or by adding curves to its path. Perhaps it is a dirt road that gets rutted from the rain; add a rock or other block near the top of the rut and water will spread out rather than make a deeper rut. Perhaps it is a downhill dirt path that, with each rain, gets cut deeper; add speed bumps in the form of rocks or dirt to help slow the water down, to encourage it to spread out as it travels.
Implemented thoughtfully, this induced meandering can provide irrigation to soil, plants, and trees long after the rains have passed. The benefits are both immediate and long term. The more induced meandering, the greater the overall health of the entire area, not just of a particular plant or tree.
Induced meandering is not just a concept for the garden, of course. In life as well as in land, induced meandering can encourage the necessary conditions for slowing down and in so doing, allowing its currents to sink in, not just run down the drain.
Today, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of the Christian season of Lent, the period of 40 days leading up to Easter. The season of Lent is often seen as a time to give up something: chocolate or sugar or alcohol, candy or sweets. Traditionally, Lent is practiced in this way, through self-denial. But Lent is not just about sacrificing for sacrifice's sake or penance as punishment.
More than giving up or self-denial, Lent, when practiced intentionally, can allow time for self-examination, reflection, and preparation. It's a time of slowing down, intentionally, so that life is given a chance to sink in, not just run off in so many directions. Induced meandering, if you will.
Rather than rush from the celebrations of Christmas and the season of Epiphany which follows, directly to the new life, resurrection, and rebirth of Easter, Lent provides a speed bump in the path of the Christian calendar. The slowing that is an inherent part of Lent is not just for the sake of slowing down, but so that life can sink in. In so doing, this season of irrigation provides health and vitality long after its rains have passed.
So, how does one practice the season of Lent in this way? Easy.
Observation. In the Christian tradition we tend to call this contemplation, prayer, or even meditation. Mindfulness is another word for it. Twenty minutes in the morning and twenty minutes in the evening can provide such a space for both clearing the mind and the thoughts, but also for examining the day, our actions, and our place in the world around us.
Action. Our contemplation, as Franciscan Richard Rohr is fond of saying, must lead to action or it is simply navel gazing for navel gazing's sake. What changes might I need to make in my life, in the way I spend my time or my money or my energy? What rocks can I put in place to help slow down the flow of life and allow its nutrients to sink in a bit more?
Lent offers us an opportunity to slow down, to meander rather than to rush, to allow life to sink in a bit, to find ways to go deeper and not always stay on the surface. A time to observe, to pay attention, and then to act — and in so doing provide the space to move from rush to replenish. When we take this practice seriously, we plant its blessings so that they benefit not only us in our lives for this season, but also extend to the world around us.
Add Your Reflection
"Don't dawdle, Amaryllis," my
"Don't dawdle, Amaryllis," my father used to say to us, quoting "The Music Man." But he is an accomplished dawdler (and gardener) himself. I love to dawdle--not allow myself to be distracted, mind you, but fully dawdle, just refuse to hurry because there is so much to admire. There is, underneath the moss, a rock-hard stubborness to dawdling. Thanks for this phrase: induced meandering. May I remember it the next time I catch one of my sons, one sock in hand, interrupted in the midst of dressing by a bug or a sleeping kitten or an unfinished puzzle.
I have always loved the word
I have always loved the word "meander." It rolls slowly off the tongue just as one might wander down a garden path. It begs to be pronounced with a slow, southern drawl.
I realize that in the past I often thought that to meander meant to wander off course or perhaps more judgmentally to waste time. Now, I think of the word meander more with longing than disdain. Unfortunately, I often think of it as something to do when all else is done. But when will that be? If indeed it is not now when?
Rumi seems to ask the same question in his poem, "Sheba's Hesitation."
"You're haggling about how much to pay
for shoeing a donkey, when you could be seated
with one who is always in union with God,
who carries a beautiful garden inside himself.
You could be moving in a circuit without wing,
Nourished without eating, sovereign without a throne.
No longer subject to fortune, you could be luck itself,"
May we not miss the gardens that lie within & learn to move in a "circuit without wing" by giving ourselves permission to meander.
This is a beautiful
A beautiful reflection, Erin, and just what I needed to come home to after some induced meandering of my own at the North Carolina Arboretum on Wednesday afternoon. What a gift. Thank you.

Your article inspired me to assign purpose to my labor. I have decided to spend a portion of the next 40 days doing selfless service to others.
Almost a parable, no, it is a
Almost a parable, no, it is a parable with apt connections from nature's flow to an inner application, like the methods of lection divina, or scriptural prayer: lectio or read the scripture attentively and reverently, meditatio on the relations to your observations, oratio as prayerful conversation with God or the saints on its deeper meaning, and finally contemplation of the soul's core intimacy with God. I have heard of a fifth process, operatio, the means to implement meaningful action to better the community. This analogy of the garden is rich in images and metaphors, like St. Teresa's own means of contemplative prayer. Many thanks, Ernie

This was written by someone I speak to from time to time on another forum and he was a former Talking Chop blogger on SBN, but now he writes about the Braves on Chop-n-Change. I thought this was worth sharing here though, considering our feelings for what the draft has become. If anything, it doesn't say much that is new, but it is a healthy rant that puts into perspective just how messed up the draft has become and the implications of it down the line.

We Are Knox...
Jay Matson '65
President, Seminary Street Historic Commercial District
1997 Alumni Achievement Award Winner
Philosophy Major
Having graduated from Knox with a major in philosophy, Jay Matson didn't
expect to become a successful businessman.
"In 1965, my major was the antithesis of a business career," he says. "But having a liberal arts foundation, which taught me how to explore ideas, has been a tremendous asset. My Knox education encouraged me to be adaptable."
In the late seventies, the opening of a new mall in Galesburg drew more and more businesses away from Galesburg's downtown. Many downtown businesses suffered, including the Calico Cat, a popular retail shop on Seminary Street owned by Jay and his wife, Mary. Instead of closing or relocating, the Matsons took a risk -- they decided not only to stay on Seminary Street but also to open several small businesses and introduce new culinary offerings into the community.
"We asked ourselves, 'How do we attract people to Seminary Street?'" says Matson. "From our travels, we knew that specialty restaurants attracted us to far-flung neighborhoods, so we felt that we could use the same strategy to bring customers to a side street in Galesburg."
In 1977, Jay and Mary, together with a group of local partners and the backing of a local bank, purchased more than a dozen neglected older buildings and began restoring them one by one. Within a year, they opened Lullaby Dad's Thirst Parlor (now home to Chez Willy's), the Landmark Café & Creperie and the Packinghouse Dining Company -- still among Galesburg'' most popular restaurants. The street also became an incubator for other small independent businesses.
Today, Seminary Street, officially known as the Seminary Street Historic Commercial District, is one of the most successful small specialty districts in the Midwest and arguably Galesburg's leading tourist attraction. It is three-blocks long and home to 30 independently owned businesses, renovated loft apartments, and two museums -- the Galesburg Railroad Museum and Discovery Depot Children's Museum. It has been featured in Midwest Living, the Chicago Tribune, and Gourmet and has won "Best of State" awards from the annual Illinois Governor's Conference on Tourism.
Seminary Street also became a role model for other towns. In 1978, Galesburg was one of three communities selected by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to participate in its original "Main Street" pilot project. The Trust's agenda -- to encourage downtown economic development within the context of historic preservation -- fit perfectly with Seminary Street's mission. "Much of what evolved to become the template for the 'Main Street' approach originated here with the Galesburg Downtown Council. The Main Street program has grown to serve more than 1,600 cities across the country," says Matson.
Although it is not unusual now to find shopping districts like Seminary Street in towns across the Midwest, the concept behind Seminary Street was innovative for its time. And Matson, who received a 1997 Alumni Achievement Award from Knox in honor of his accomplishments, believes that opportunities for Galesburg will continue to evolve from new ideas and new approaches to business. "Galesburg will continue to be recreated and sustained by innovation. It's the future," he says.
As chairman of the National Railroad Hall of Fame, Matson is again at the forefront of Galesburg's tourism development. He is especially excited about the Hall of Fame and a likely museum affiliation with the Smithsonian. He believes it will help Galesburg recover from the recent loss of employment from the Maytag and Butler Manufacturing plant closings. "The Hall of Fame is a $60 million project that has the potential to draw people from more than 500 miles away," he says. "It will change the nature of Galesburg."

Men, maybe you'll remember the following rite of passage:
Upon my eighteenth birthday, back in 1993, I attained the age of majority. I received a razor in the mail from a local razor company and stadium-naming-rights holder proclaiming "You're a man now. Use a man's razor."
That day, I went to town hall to register to vote. And then, with much consternation, I went to the Social Security Office to undertake an endeavor my sister would never have to do: I registered for the draft.
Selective service has long been the purview of men. All men, upon reaching the age of eighteen, are required to register and remain draft-eligible until they reach age twenty-six. Failure to do so-for any reason-can carry severe criminal penalties including fines of up to $250,000 and five years in prison. Additionally, failure to register can make you ineligible to receive student financial aid, and ineligibility to obtain federal jobs. Women have been exempted because women were not permitted to fill combat roles in the armed forces.
This month, that has changed.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered all branches of government to implement plans to integrate the military. Decades of work on behalf of equal rights came to fruition. In the wars of the past decade, women have fought and died alongside men when forced to from their support roles. When I served in the Navy SeaBees in the mid 1990s, women trained alongside men for all roles – including ground and hand-to-hand combat. They stayed in the same tents and barracks as men, and we made reasonable accommodations for privacy. There was never an issue, and it seems shocking that it has taken this long for the military's civilian leadership to implement what has been clear as day in the trenches for so long.
However, women are still exempt from registering for the draft, and will be until Congress passes legislation, and the President signs same, eliminating the female exemption.
As an ardent supporter of equal rights of all Americans, I believe this now needs to happen. All women between the ages of 18-25 must be compelled to register for selective service or face the same penalties that men face. Failure to enact this legislation continues to enshrine discrimination against both men *and* women, and reinforces the outdated notion that there are inherent differences in competencies between women and men.
Or, preferably, Congress can end selective service once and for all - but until that happens, we need to be all in on equal rights.

The Denver Broncos have three former Bills coaches in their sights, according to their new vice president of football operations, John Elway, the Denver Post reports. In addition to Mike Mularkey, Denver intends to line up interviews with Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell and Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Broncos interim coach Eric Studesville, the former Bills running backs coach, also is a candidate.
Williams, Bills head coach from 2001-2003, won a Super Bowl ring with New Orleans last year and is preparing for a Saints wild-card game this week. New Orleans' defense ranks fourth in the NFL this season.
Fewell, Bills defensive chief under Dick Jauron and interim Bills coach last season, coached the Giants defense to a seventh-place ranking in yards allowed this year. The Panthers, Browns and 49ers also have requested to interview Fewell, according to media reports.
Fewell definitely helped his coaching profile this year. The Giants were 13th in yards allowed last year. They improved from 30th in points allowed to 17th this year. They would have been a lot lower, too, if the Giants' offense hadn't led the NFL in giveaways with 42.
Meanwhile, another former Bills aide, Giants offensive coordiantor Kevin Gilbride, is rumored to be a candidate for the head-coaching opening at UConn. Gilbride is a native of New Haven, Conn.

Someone tried to break into a home in the 500 block of Chandler Lane just off of Sproul Road (Rt. 320) in the Villanova section of Radnor Township on Tuesday, according to Radnor Police.
Police received a burglar alarm activation at 1:20 p.m. for the home. Upon arrival, officers discovered a front window open and a foot print on a sofa inside the window. It is believed the alarm activation scared the would-be burglar or burglars away. It does not appear that anything was taken from the house.
If you have information about this crime, contact the Radnor Police Department's Investigations Unit at 610-688-0503.
From Radnor Police:
Make sure your doors and windows are locked when leaving the residence or retiring for the evening. Burglar alarms should be set if your residence is so equipped. Most importantly if suspicions persons, vehicles, or activity is observed in your neighborhood you should call 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY initiating a police department response.

By Ryan Richardson
Globe Staff Writer
JOPLIN, Mo. —
Since starting this column I have received a steady stream of emails asking great follow-up questions to previous columns.
I am extremely appreciative of the fact that I am engaging people on something I care deeply about. The one question that appears in my inbox on a regular basis is the pet equivalent to "what to expect when you are expecting."
Most people I talk to have at least an idea of what happens in those first six months when welcoming a new pet into their home. But the most overlooked aspect is the financial investment that a new pet will cost. Nothing more reflects the cost than the price of immunizations and health checkups that you should be doing for your family's addition.
Luckily, you may be more ahead of the game than you think, depending on where you adopted your pet.
Many local shelters, including the Joplin Humane Society, have the basics knocked out for you already when you adopt. Most times your adoption fee goes toward a spay/neuter, appropriate vaccines and deworming, regardless of your pet's age. That is a great step in the right direction.
After that, the first year of vaccinations is something you should discuss with your veterinarian. In 2006 the American Animal Hospital Association outlined core vaccines for cats and dogs, which I feel is a great outline.
The big one that you need to take care of is rabies vaccine. While it's no longer required by Missouri state law after 2012, it is still a safety issue for your pet and your family.
The only measure against rabies is the vaccine. If your animal ends up with rabies, it will almost certainly be fatal. It's a tragedy that can be prevented with a simple vaccine.
For dogs, the following are strongly recommended by several groups and are needed within the first year of life: distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus (pet hepatitis) and bordetella. All of those are core vaccines, excluding bordetella (or kennel cough), which is highly recommended within the first 12 weeks -- especially if your dog will be around other dogs.
For cats, it's a bit different, but there is some overlap. Distemper, herpesvirus and calicivirus are the core vaccines that the AAHA recommends, but I would also recommend feline leukemia and bordetella.
Many of these manifest themselves as respiratory ailments and are highly contagious to other animals. You aren't just protecting your new pet, you are also protecting the pets you already may have.
I mention the communicability issue because I want to open a discussion about a pet park in Jasper County, and I also want to explore options for apartment-dwelling residents in the area. I know Joplin residents have very little public pet options.
But I feel that vaccinations aren't a "maybe" thing for a new pet. If you are going to take the responsibility of welcoming a new pet into your home, please take the time to make sure that pet will be with your family for a long time. Keep your pets healthy, and they will be happy to oblige you with their presence.

La Sera
La Sera (Hardly Art)
Katy Goodman seems determined to craft her own identity outside of Brooklyn post-punk trio the Vivian Girls, in which she plays bass. Goodman's breathy and seraphic vocals are poised to escape the heavy distortion and layering that, up until recently, have been associated with her punk roots.
Her first solo venture, All Saints Day, paired Goodman with Cat Power's Greg Foreman and found the two layering reverb-heavy guitar rock with heavily distorted vocals—not much of a departure from her work with the Vivian Girls. But La Sera, Goodman's latest project, takes a chance by dialing down the distortion and showcasing her self-proclaimed love of stripped-down and dreamy pop songs.
The tone of La Sera is set from the opening track on the self-titled debut, which stands out as its best. The appropriately titled "Beating Heart" starts with steadily paced and minimalist guitar riffs that complement Goodman's chiming vocals without detracting from her meandering (and at times oddly placed) double-tracked harmonies. Each song connects so seamlessly to the next that it becomes difficult to determine where one ends and the other begins.
Avid fans of the Vivian Girls might find Goodman's vocals almost unrecognizable, but it's clear that with La Sera she is reaching for listeners more inclined toward the blissfully romantic than the gritty and aggressive.

Why Culture is The Basis of Building & Investing: What Carlyle Group's Example Holds for CEOs
Billionaire buy and hold investor Ron Baron says he invests in people, not companies. Before he opens his investment war chest, he dives deep into a company, actually meeting the leadership and seeing the tone they set from the top. No matter how "successful" a company looks on paper, it's the meet and greet and getting to know the people involved in the organization and their culture that seals the deal for him. Peeling back his 25 billion investing portfolio, one of his investing jewels is The Carlyle Group.

The Only Three Things a Leader Should Focus On — Brains, Bones, and Nerves
The core of a company can be accurately compared to the core of the human body — you need brains, bones, and nerves to all work together in order to function properly. The brains are the strategy, the bones are the organizational structure, and the nerves are the culture. If you're missing any piece of the body, it all falls apart.

The CEO as Head Coach
Too many corporate leaders don't understand that changing corporate culture is shaped by every decision they make. The tone is set by their words and cemented with their actions, every day—when the CEO establishes a strategy and follows it, sets rules and abides by them, not only says he or she is "one of us," but acts like one of us.

Android Loses a Pair of Senior Members

Yesterday, Senior Android Product Manager Erick Tseng left Google for Facebook as the head of mobile products. Tseng worked at Google for four years, with previous stints at Yahoo and Microsoft.
Tseng announced his career change via his Twitter account. Tseng has a B.S. in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering from MIT and an MBA in General Management from Stanford.
On the heels of that announcement comes word that Cedric Beust, Android Senior Software Engineer is leaving for an undisclosed position at LinkedIn.
Beust worked for Google for six years, working directly on Java (he's written two books on the subject), then the Gmail team before joining Android. Beust graduated the Universite of Sophia Antipolis with a PhD in computer science.
No word yet on how Google plans to fill these two positions.

New Castle News
The Pennsylvania Game Commission's decision to approve an oil and gas lease for gamelands in Pulaski Township raises a question:
Should local hunters be troubled by this move?
While the future is always uncertain and the potential for problems always exists, we don't see the leasing of the gamelands as a particular problem. It may even offer benefits for hunters.
That comes courtesy of the $1.9 million the commission will receive from Hilcorp Energy Co. in exchange for the five-year lease. That money will be paid even if no drilling ever takes place.
And if drilling does occur and wells produce natural gas or oil, the game commission will receive 20 percent of royalties from the operation.
This money will go into commission coffers. It could be used for stocking game, improving habitat and other projects that would benefit hunters.
We don't mean to minimize the fact there would be a downside to drilling on gamelands. Drilling is noisy, takes up space and creates the potential for environmental problems.
But much of this is temporary. If there is an impact on hunting, it's unlikely it will be long term or extensive.
We also should point out that these are lands acquired by the commonwealth mainly to allow hunting. They are not particularly sensitive ecological areas or state parks set aside for broad use. As a result, the negative impact will be minimized.
Of course, it remains problematical whether any drilling will be conducted in the gamelands. That depends on a variety of factors.
Hilcorp has signed leases around the gamelands and is active in Pulaski Township. But we don't know the results of drilling so far and the degree to which the corporation intends to expand operations.
As we have said in the past, the amount of shale gas drilling that will occur in Lawrence County is unclear at this point. It will be decided by what's obtained from existing wells in the county, as well as the results from drilling elsewhere.
The signing of a lease does not automatically translate into drilling or a productive well. Over the years, many properties have operated under oil and gas leases with nothing ever happening.
The amount paid by firms in recent years for shale-related leases, however, suggests a greater determination to drill. But at the end of the day, companies will do so only if they see a profit potential.
Local hunters ought to protect their interests in the Pulaski Township gamelands by insisting that drilling activities be handled properly and revenue gained be put back into the land as much as possible. That would set the stage for a long-term benefit.

text: President Obama increased his appeal among Latino voters from 67% to 71% in four years despite the fact that he reneged on his central 2008 campaign promise to "fix our broken immigration system." This overwhelming support may actually undermine the cause of immigration reform, because it tells the Democrats that the Latino vote is solidly on their side regardless of specific policy stances. This has the dangerous consequence of handing the issue over to the Republicans and their exclusionary, divide-and-conquer approach. Latinos should accept neither Democratic backpedaling nor a new Republican ploy, but push for more comprehensive and inclusionary solutions.

The third time appears to be the charm for Inyo National Forest, which announced last week that Ed Armenta of Arizona is slated to become its next head honcho.
Armenta, currently the district ranger of the Payson District of the Tonto National Forest, will be the third Forest Service employee to step into the forest supervisor post vacated by Jim Upchurch in September 2010.
Upchurch transferred to Coronado National Forest and two temporary replacements had filled the position until a permanent replacement – Armenta – could be named.
With the Southern Inyo Early Opener Trout Derby in the books, anglers' attention has now turned to the Eastern Sierra's other major pre-season fishing tradition: The Blake Jones Trout Derby.
Named for a beloved longtime local resident and angling promoter, the annual derby returns this Saturday to Pleasant Valley Reservoir, where the Bishop Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau gives fishermen yet another chance to compete for cash, prizes and bragging rights – or simply gather the family to cast a line in prime Eastern Sierra waters – well in advance of the regular fishing season.
J. Patrick Farrell, Sr.
Graveside memorial services for J. Patrick Farrell, Sr. will be held at noon today, Saturday, March 12 at the East Line Street Cemetery in Bishop. Pastor Chris Costello will officiate.
Born Jan. 25, 1934 to Gertrude and William Brian-Jennings Farrell, Pat died March 5, 2011.
Ina June Raworth
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, March 19 at Pilgrim Congregational Church in Hemet for Ina June Raworth
Born in Victor, Colo. on Oct. 1, 1924, June died Feb. 24, 2011. She was 86.
June graduated from Manitou Springs High School in Colorado. She worked as a dental assistant and later at Hope School for the Handicapped for 14 years.
Inyo County Integrated Waste is facing a half-million dollar operating deficit this year and is looking for residents to help decide how to solve the budget shortfall.
During an almost empty public meeting in Lone Pine on Wednesday, Jeff Ahlstrom, managing landfill engineer, laid out six plans that would close the projected $592,874 gap. Those plans include three basic strategies to save on costs and generate more revenue, ranging from fee hikes to layoffs to reductions in services.

Jackie Gleason: the Abdominal Comedian
If you are a classic TV show fan, you won't ever forget Jackie Gleason in your list of popular actors of Classic TV. He is known for his works as a comic for tv such as The Honeymooners, The Jackie Gleason Show and Izzy and Moe. He also resort his career to composing music as he recorded Melancholy Serenade", "Glamour", "Lover's Rhapsody", "On the Beach" and "To a Sleeping Beauty" all for Capitol Records. His talent for entertaining people is remarkable for a fact that he once worked as a carnival barker and disc jockey before joined Tinseltown's bandwagon.
He immortalized the characters of Ralph Kramden, Chester A. Riley and among others. Despite his status as a actor, he never won an Emmy award in his entire career but he became a recipient of the coveted Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. He also did drama when he appeared in The Hustler where he portrayed Minnesota Fats and earned a nod in Academy for Supporting Actor. No wonder his contributions in American television is remarkable as he is a gold in the mine of Hollywood.

A College Station Chinese restaurant did not get a good fortune after inspectors with the Brazos County health department shut the eatery down last week.
The Chef Cao's on University Drive was shut down after inspectors found roaches in the restaurant.
The critters were found crawling around the dinning room, kitchen, and storage area.
Even dead and dying roaches were spotted.
According to the Brazos County Health Department, Chef Cao's tried to treat the problem with an unknown pesticide, most likely a roach bomb.
Residue from that pesticide was found on kitchen equipment and had to be removed.
Restaurants are required to use a licensed pest control company to treat insect problem.
Since this was Chef Cao's second suspended permit of the year, the restaurant was forced to remain closed for 72 hours.

"Woozy," Bloody Penn Says No ConcussionNovember 24th, 2011
Joe knows NFL linemen on both sides of the ball are a different breed. These guys take a level of pounding really impossible for a layman (that includes you former high school linemen) to imagine.
Joe got an early feel for what goes on when Joe worked as a very young man for a collection agency. One of the dudes in arrears that Joe was hounding was a former New York Giants lineman who shared a lot of stories.
As much as the NFL has tried to protect players — to the detriment of the game — there's not much that can be done along the lines. It's very much still old school football down there. That was evident listening to Donald Penn talk about how sacrificed his head Sunday in Green Bay and got drilled so hard his facemask resembled a pretzel.
"My facemask was bent bad," Penn said. "A.J. Hawk was running through on one of the run plays and I came down hard. I usually not a big head guy, but I tried to get a piece of him. I dove out and threw my body at him and we hit heads. You know, I got up. I stumbled a little bit. I was a little woozy for about five plays, though. But it was OK. My nose was bleeding a little bit. But I didn't know my facemask was bent until, you know, I got back here on Monday and they had my facemask up there. I looked at it. They had to change it; it was bent pretty bad. That really doesn't happen too often. I'm just surprised, I'm glad I didn't have no concussion or anything, seriously. I was fine and able to keep going."
Penn offered the comments on The Donald Penn Show on WDAE-AM 620 on Tuesday night. Host and former Bucs TE Dave Moore had asked Penn to explain the rarely seen mangled facemask.
Penn didn't miss a play and didn't mention anything to coaches or trainers during the game or since, which serves as a reminder of how violent and manly football still is in the trenches. Joe can only imagine how many traumatic brain injuries that are dished out every game that nobody every knows about.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A detour for thousands of cars is now a safety concern for a local gas station owner.
Crews started tearing up Wilkinson Boulevard Wednesday after part of the road washed out.
The detour has cars taking Old Dowd and Sam Wilson Roads around the damage.
Now, a store owner says that detour is making her lot a cut through for people who don't want to wait for the light back onto Wilkinson.
It took just a few minutes of standing in this BP gas station' lot to capture the owner's concern on tape.
Car after car used it as a cut through instead of waiting to turn at the light.
It happened a couple of times while talking to driver Jeremy Weaver.
"Right there, yeah, exactly, that's real dangerous, people don't know how to drive anymore," said driver Jeremy Weaver as he watched a handful of cars cut through near the gas pumps.
The detour takes cars away from the repair job after an 18 inch underground pipe gave out and washed out a hole underneath the road and shoulder. It created a hole about 12 feet deep.
"A 12 foot drop a few inches from traffic wouldn't be good," said NDCOT employee Jeff Littlefield.
Crews are reconnecting the broken pipe. Littlefield says it likely failed due to age and all the recent rain putting too much stress on it. They used a camera placed under the road to get a closer look at the damage
"It's been an extremely wet June and actually an extremely wet year and it will expose any weakness we have so hopefully it's exposed all we're going to see."
Back at the gas station, the owner says these cut-throughs are exposing drivers to potential crashes.
The owner says cut-throughs already happen at the gas station, but the detour is at least doubling the number.
Weaver drives Wilkinson almost daily and took the detour. It's about four minutes long if you're stuck behind slow moving semis.
"Definitely burning more gas because from 85 to 74 use a lot more horsepower, the detours, a lot of people don't know the area well and get lost easily," Weaver said.
"It's no problem for me," said driver Tom Dailey.

They had me at pancakes.
When looking at the race application for the Polar Bear 5K I noticed that the post race festivities included a pancake breakfast.
Yes, I know that many would have preferred beer. But pancakes? I was so in.
The Polar Bear 5K is held in Olcott and on Sunday, that meant lake effect snow squalls from Lake Ontario.
Oh goodie!
The gimmick of this race involves a guy dressed in a polar bear suit who runs the race. The t-shirt you receive at the end of the race either proclaimes "I beat the bear" or "I can't believe the bear beat me."
I was pretty sure I would not be beating the bear. He looked pretty fast -- and he took his head off not a quarter mile into the race. I think that could have been a disqualification, but I'm not up on my USA Track and Field regulations that apply to polar bears.
The first mile of the race was a breeze -- literally. The strong wind was at my back pushing to a rather speedy 8:40 clip.
Then came the turn ... into the wind, with snow showers and a low but gradual incline.
I had convinced a friend to run this race with me. I was pretty sure he was cursing me out at this point in the race.
With no real goal in mind other than to finish and get to the pancakes, I kept steady and passed two women.
In the final mile, I passed another guy.
A check of my watch and it seemed that I might actually finish with a good time, so I pushed it a bit. Why not? I felt OK, though I certainly was running hard. It felt like ages since I had run a 5K, so I ran based on feel.
The finish line was just ahead and I glanced at my watch. My shot at breaking 28 minutes had passed, but not by much.
Final time: 28:15.
It was good enough for first in my age group and, upon inspection on my return home, a personal record.
Seriously? A PR? On a cold, windy, snowy day? On a day when I wasn't exactly in a race mood and had just been told by my coach that next week was a recovery week?
I'm not saying that the race was easy or that I didn't run hard. The race was difficult and I certainly ran hard.
But the less I think about times and paces, the better I seem to get. The more I put in the work, the more I reap the rewards without much consternation on my part. It took a year of consistent training to be able to pull off this 5K for myself.
Oh, and the pancakes were definitely worth the effort.

Research Interests
(This work is supported by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Deptartment of Energy)
The research interests of the materials chemistry group are in the preparation and chemical and physical properties of novel inorganic oxide materials, using in particular
soft chemistry
(chimie douce) approaches. Much of our effort is targeted at finding new materials for advancing energy storage and production. Recently we have reported the first layered
vanadium and molybdenum oxides
containing organic cations (see figure below), simple layered alkali
manganese dioxides
formed from the hydrothermal decomposition of permanganates, and hydrothermal synthesis methods for the formation of a group of iron phosphates that are being used as the cathodes in a range of commercial applications.
The chemistry of materials is one of the two areas of chemistry experiencing the greatest growth at the present time both in academic institutions and industry. This popularity can be associated with the pervasiveness of solids throught our lives, from semiconductors through energy storage to geological/biological systems, and to a number of recent breakthroughs, including high-temperature inorganics superconductors.
One of our goals is to find new synthetic routes to prepare metastable compounds that cannot be prepared by traditional techniques. Primary emphasis is on reacting ions in solution with solids, so that the ions diffuse into the solids giving, for example, enhanced superconductivity. In many cases it is possible to form previously unknown open structures, such as
layered VO
, by diffusing ions out of existing structures creating vacant tunnels or layers in which chemistry may be perfomed or separations/catalysis carried out.
Another goal is the understanding and exploitation of ionic motion in solids and its use in electrochromic devices and batteries. Here much emphasis is on
intercalation compounds
of the transition metal oxides, Alk
, where M includes V, Mn, Fe, Mo etc. Closely related is an investigation of aluminosilicates which can swell in the presence of water and other solvents and have been implicated as playing a critical role in diagenetic processes. These compounds are excellent systems for performing chemistry on the molecular level, and have the potential for revolutionizing the area of nanocomposites.

hey guys, I recently decided I am going to upgrade the system in my 97 pathfinder. I have decided on the speakers (Polk MM6501 components and MM651 coaxials) the subs (Kicker 07DCVR12) and the amps (JL Audio 450/4 and kicker z750.1). I also plan on dynamating the hell out of the car
now, where I am stuck on is the headunit. I have two in mind, either the Nakamichi cd400 or the alpine cda 9887. Ive heard amazing things bout the nak's sq but have heard that the alpine's tuning abilities are great too.
so, i expect the posters here know much more bout car audio than i do so any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated
