Costa Rica Explorer (CRE)
Costa Rica has as many microclimates as it does opportunities for active adventures, and this 2-week journey will bring you the best of both. There's a visit to a cloud forest, but for a bigger jolt, opt to rappel down waterfalls or fly across ziplines above the treetops. For the caffeine connoisseur, we visit a coffee co-op and learn how it gets from bean to your cup. For a different pace, float through the canals of the Tortuguero National Park in search of wildlife. From the Caribbean beaches to the Pacific, this stunning tour embodies some of the best that Costa Rica has to offer.
Highlights: Spot wildlife while cruising the canals of Tortuguero, savour a local lunch at a Planeterra-supported coffee co-op, enjoy spectacular volcano views while soaking in hot springs, hike the trails of reserves and National Parks, learn to make tortillas with a local family, relax on the scenic Pacific coast

Niagara Gazette
Matt Ellis remembers sitting at home in Ontario nearly three years ago, unsure where his career would take him next. Los Angeles had just let him go, the second time in eight months he had to endure the uncertainty of waivers. As an undrafted fourth-liner, it appeared Ellis might never enjoy much stability.
Ellis had no idea then he was about to find a home. The Sabres, down two players to injury, claimed the hardworking forward late in the preseason.
"I thought, 'You know what, maybe I'll stay a little longer with some injury problems, maybe get a shot?'" Ellis recalled Wednesday, a day after signing a two-year contract with the Sabres. "I didn't really have any expectations at that point.
"To be sitting here entering my fourth season, it's an amazing feeling," he said. "It's been a great ride. I've met some amazing people here in Buffalo. I couldn't have asked for any more."
Ellis has a two-way deal for the upcoming season, and then a one-way contract for 2012-13. Last season, he served as Portland's captain while shuttling between the minors and NHL, playing 52 AHL games and 12 with the Sabres. He could be ticketed for the AHL again, this time in Rochester, the Sabres' new affiliate.
"If it's not the right shift right away and I go to Rochester, that's a pretty good deal as well," Ellis said.
The 29-year-old has spent many summers fretting over his career. He re-signed in late August last year. The early contract is refreshing.
"To be able to take a deep breath now and be able to focus on what I need to do for the next two seasons, it's a feeling that I haven't been able to feel for the last little while of my career," Ellis said.
Ellis' tenure with the Sabres hasn't been completely smooth. Early on, he cleared waivers and went to the minors again. But he carved out nearly two full seasons as an NHL regular before last year, which he acknowledged was an "emotional rollercoaster."
"I was older, I had established myself on an NHL level and now it wasn't just myself and my wife going through the changes and the ups and downs of a call-up," Ellis said. "It was bringing my two boys with us through the process, which made it a little difficult at times."
Clearly, though, the Sabres view Ellis as an asset, even if he's the 13th or 14th forward. His value can't be measured in goals or points. Counting one playoff appearance, he had zero in 15 games last season, yet the Sabres went 12-2-1 when he played.
Incredibly, since Ellis arrived, the Sabres are 76-39-16 with him (a .641 winning percentage) and 53-49-13 (.517) without him. Ellis has 10 goals, 25 points and is a minus-1 in that time.
Ellis' tenacity is legendary. He's arguably the most relentless Sabre in recent memory, never taking a shift off or a day in the NHL for granted. At times, his hard work has almost shamed teammates into better efforts. His presence and positive attitude rubs off on youngsters and veterans.
That supreme work ethic has always been Ellis' greatest strength, helping him go from the ECHL to Detroit in four years.
"It's what got me my first professional contract," Ellis said. "It's what got me drafted to the OHL. I don't think those things change. I think when you look back, and you can ask any coach I played for from the first time I picked up a hockey stick, and the first word that comes to mind when they talk about myself was that I was a 'hard worker.' It's something that I'm proud of and it's something that's a natural for me.
"When I lace up my skates, even in the summertime when I put on my runners, when it's time to get down to business, I let the passion kind of take hold, and I just run with it," he said.

Time is running out to secure what is typically a hot ticket in Paulding County.
The Paulding Chamber of Commerce's annual seated dinner, which will commemorate the organization's 52nd year of existence, will be held at the Paulding County Senior Community Center Thursday, Jan. 17. The event will begin with a VIP reception at 6 p.m. and dinner seating at 7 p.m.
Few tickets remained as of earlier this week and are being sold individually at $125 each.
Rhubarb Jones will give the event's keynote address. Formerly the longest-running morning radio personality in Atlanta, according to his website, Jones now serves as a part-time instructor of communication at Kennesaw State University as well as the college's director of special events in the Office of University Advancement & Development.
With Jones serving as the keynote, this will be the second year in a row the Chamber's dinner has featured someone with ties to the radio industry. Neal Boortz—the syndicated radio host who can be heard locally and across the metro Atlanta area on WSB Radio—was the keynote speaker at last year's event. (See video highlights from Boortz's address here.) Boortz is retiring later this month and handing the reins of his program to former presidential candidate Herman Cain.
In addition to Jones' keynote, other highlights of the event will be the recognition of the Chamber's Ambassador of the Year, Business of the Year and Citizen of the Year. Last year's winners were Sara Magnusson, Little Caesars franchisees Gerry and Lynn Barr and Brian Stover, respectively. (Click the links to view our videos from the award presentations.)
Chamber officials also will recognize two individuals for their roles in assisting a Paulding teen who was allegedly abused by his parents last year. Retired Sgt. Joseph Gonzales of the Los Angeles Police Department was working security at a Los Angeles bus station when he saw Mitch Comer, an 18-year-old described by authorities as "a pale, gaunt young man of small stature who appeared to be about 12 or 13 years of age"—he weighed only 87 pounds and stood just over 5 feet tall. Comer told police that his stepfather had given him $200 and a list of homeless shelters, then put him on a bus in Jackson, Miss., though that had come after years of abuse at home, including confinement to his room and meals consisting of small quantities of food.
Also set to be honored for her efforts on the case will be Monica Moore-Penate, a criminal investigator with the Paulding County District Attorney's Office.
For more information on the event or to purchase tickets, contact Kevin Kirby at 770-445-6016 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last week, Port Arthur News staffer Tom Halliburton, who covered Nederland football from 1987 to 2010, volunteered that if the Bulldogs knocked off No. 1 ranked Pearland Dawson it would be the school's most significant and prestigious victory since it won the state championship in 1957.
Sure enough, the Bulldogs delivered with a scintillating 22-16 overtime win and there was little argument that it was Nederland's biggest win since '57. So, in lieu of compiling a list of games that might have been comparable, The News sports team, with the help of Russ DeVillier, who used to cover the Bulldogs for us, put together a handful of some of the most memorable wins of the past 55 years.
We don't claim to have been able to list them all, but we think the list that has been compiled will be a fun and entertaining read for all those who bleed black and gold.
Nederland 21,
San Benito 15 (1961)
Jerry Phillips, a 15-year-old tackle turned sprinter, etched his named into Bulldog folklore on December 9, 1961.
In the state 3A semi-final thriller at San Benito, Phillips snared an errant pitchout by all-state halfback Jim Helms and romped 39 yards for a touchdown. The unlikely fourth quarter score erased a 15-14 advantage for the home team, and sent Nederland to Dallas' Cobb Field for a state title date with Dumas.
Phillips, a 204-pound redheaded junior, was on the field 48 minutes for Bowden Cook's Bulldogs. They fell short, 6-0, the following week on a muddy field. It was a setback similar to the 3-0 loss dealt to Bum Phillips' team in at rainswept Bulldog Stadium in 1956.
Nederland 32, Bridge City 14 (1966)
Gene Henderson was an assistant on Emmett McKenzie's staff when Nederland rolled to the state 3A title in 1957, Hired to rebuild The House That Bum Built in 1963, he had three straight playoff teams before finishing out of the money with what many thought his best team in 1966.
An early season clash before an overflow throng pitted Nederland against eventual 3A state champ Bridge City and the Cardinals' dynamite running back, Steve Worster.
Nederland answered with a power runner of its own, Bill Kemp, who rumbled for l32 yards. Bulldog defenders limited Worster to 104 and a better-balanced attack propelled the home team to a lopsided 34-14 victory.
Nederland had climbed to No. 5 in the 4A team rankings before falling to PN-G, 20-19 in the regular season finale before the usual standing room only crowd. The loss meant a third place finish behind the Port Arthur Yellow Jackets and PN-G. Second and third place back then signaled the start of basketball.
Nederland 39, TJ 35 (1967)
Every man, woman and child at Yellow Jacket Stadium knew the home team was getting a fifth down. Everyone except the only ones that counted, the officiating crew. So, TJ quarterback Gary Hammond, later of SMU and St. Louis Cardinals fame, dropped back and heaved a 39-yard touchdown pass to Brian Thompson, putting Nederland in a 21-14 halftime hole.
It was to get worse before first-year Bulldogs coach Pat Johnson saw his team rally from 14 down to pull out a 39-35 victory. Offensive fireworks for Nederland featured quarterback Don Howard, tailback Steve Fleming and receiver Bobby Merren.
Fleming played for the University of Texas, and later served as NHS principal.
Smitty Hill's TJ team went on to claim the 11-AAAA south zone, but fell to Hebert in the district playoff.
Smitty still resides in Port Arthur. Johnson is recovering at his Nederland home after a critical three-way stay at Methodist Hospital in Houston.
Nederland 13, PN-G 7 (1984)
By winning 15 consecutive games -- 1969 through 1983 -- the Indians established the upper hand on the Mid-County series that they have enjoyed to this day.
But first-year head coach Steve DeRouen guided an inspired defensive effort in Bulldog Stadium against Butch Troy's heavily favored PN-G squad to snap the streak on a most memorable Friday night.
Nederland 28, PN-G 7 (1997)
A workhorse, tough little back named Troy Sumrall jabbed the Indians defense 32 times for 223 yards and three touchdowns in a game at The Reservation which was much closer to most watchers than its final score.
The teams were tied 7-all after three quarters and a 20-yard fumble return for a score by Aaron Barton helped to break it open. But even the PN-G defenders tipped their hats after this game to the workmanlike efforts of Sumrall who rushed for 1,601 yards and 24 touchdowns in that senior season.
Nederland 25, Friendswood 7 (2001)
Nederland's third round, regional final victory over Friendswood in 2001 was eerily similar to the big one over Dawson last Friday. Friendswood entered the matchup with Nederland with a perfect 12-0 record and their best season in school history to that point. The Mustangs had only given up 14 or more points only once in the eight previous games and beat La Marque for the first time ever.
The Bulldogs also saw similar results in the game itself. Nederland shut out Friendswood in the first half, scoring 17 unanswered points in the second quarter, four more than they scored against Dawson. Friendswood scored late in the fourth quarter, but Nederland was able to hold them down and secure a state semifinal game against Smithson Valley.
Michael Boyd returned an interception for a touchdown while Chris Genuardi scored twice on 53-yard and 2-yard runs. Genuardi had 136 rushing yards, or 92 percent of the total yards Nederland gained in the game (148).
"I remember they were undefeated and highly ranked," Neumann said. "That year, our team was coming off the 2000 year when we had a pretty good year. People though we were rebuilding, so we had a chip on our shoulder all year. The motivation was there, we didn't need to do much about it. Our defense really stifled them early."
Nederland 35, PN-G 28 (2005)
Any time the Bulldogs beat the Indians its memorable to Nederland fans, but this one was special for reasons that went way beyond the football. This was the Hurricane Rita Bowl played on Saturday night, Oct. 15 at Pasadena's Memorial Stadium some three weeks after Rita wreaked havoc on Southeast Texas.
Rita's damage destroyed homes, closed schools and businesses and wiped out high school football games scheduled for Sept. 23, Sept. 30 and Oct. 7. As a result, District 20-4A had to redraw its schedule and Mid-County Madness was the first game on the new lineup. But it couldn't be played at Nederland or PN-G because of stadium damage.
The game itself was surprisingly well played, considering how much practice both teams had missed. PN-G scored first but trailed 7-6 at halftime. From there, the two schools delivered one of the wildest and entertaining games you could ever want to see.
Nederland stretched its lead to 21-6 with a couple of quick TDs in the third quarter, but the Indians stormed back to cut it to 21-19 entering the fourth. PN-G then regained the lead, 25-21, on a 56-yard pass from Jeremy Hemmings to Brian Domino. Nederland answered with a 69-yard Alex Moshier to Ryan Butler and a 39-yard interception return by Chris Laird and the Bulldogs have a victory unlike any other.
Nederland 29, Brenham 28 (2007)
The Bulldogs first ever win at Reliant Stadium was not as meaningful as the one last week but it was pretty special. In a Zero Week contest that was part of a doubleheader featuring PN-G and LaMarque, Brenham entered the game ranked No. 15 in the state and coming off an 11-2 state quarterfinal appearance the year before.
Brenham scored first in the game, but Nederland jumped out to a 29-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Brenham rallied in the fourth to make it 29-28 but the Cubs missed a PAT on their final touchdown. It wound up tight at the end because the Bulldogs lost QB Ryan Sampere to an injury midway through the third quarter.
Sampere and Asa Cardenas each scored two touchdowns. Sampere finished with 252 passing yards and 40 rushing yards while Cardenas had four catches for 94 yards.
"Being the first game of the year, we really dominated," Neumann said. "If Sampere hadn't gotten hurt, we would have done better. What I recollect from that game, it might have been a really big score to not a lot from them otherwise. It was a dominant performance for much the night."

Republican Scott Brown has altered the political universe by winning the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's seat, pundits say.
Democrats went on the defensive after an epic upset victory by the GOP in the race to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat.
Pundits and pols are divided on what Republican Scott Brown's sweeping Senate take-down in the bluest of blue states will mean for the political stage -- some say it gives liberals a chance to reposition the Democratic Party, while others contend it could signal the decline of a lot more than just the health bill.
The consensus? After Martha Coakley, the Democrats' hand-picked successor to Kennnedy, lost, Obama and his party have got a lot of work to do.

August 1, 2014
DALLAS (AP) - Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says no decision has been made about Delonte West's future with the team after the guard was suspended for the second time in two weeks.
Cuban says there is still a chance West will play again with the Mavericks and that he will make the final call on that decision.
West was suspended Thursday for conduct detrimental to the team. Dallas first banned the ninth-year guard on Oct. 15 after a locker room outburst, but that suspension lasted less than a day.

By Hanadi Bu-Ali, MD, Breast Surgeon, Wheaton Franciscan Comprehensive Breast Care Program
Every October, you tend to see a sea of pink ribbons and activities centered around breast cancer awareness. Here in Wisconsin, close to 4,500 people will learn they have breast cancer this year, according to the American Cancer Society.
Fortunately, over time, more and more women have taken measures to detect and treat breast cancer at an early stage. In fact, the National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately 2.5 million women with a history of breast cancer were alive in January 2006, most of them cancer-free.
What this tells us is that we are taking serious steps in beating this disease, but breast cancer still claims lives – more than 62,000 women and men each year in the US. As we have uncovered ways for us to try to decrease the risk and improve survival, there is still a lot of misinformation out there that might hinder our progress in treating the disease.
As a physician who consults with individuals on their risks in developing breast cancer, I'd like to help clear the air on some circulating myths*:
Myth: Mammograms cause spread of breast cancer.
Fact: Neither the small amount of radiation nor the pressure placed on the breast from the mammogram can cause breast cancer to spread.
Myth: If I have a breast lump, it's cancer.
Fact: Many breast lumps felt are not cancer, and may actually be cysts or a benign condition called fibroadenoma. Regardless, all lumps should be checked thoroughly by a physician.
Myth: If no one in your family has had breast cancer, you won't get it.
Fact: 80-85 of women with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Even if no one in your family has ever been diagnosed, you should still get an annual mammogram.
Myth: Your genetic risk of getting breast cancer comes only from your mother's side of the family.
Fact: Half of your genes come from your mother and half from your father. Therefore both sides of your family influence your risk equally. That is why it's crucial to share family history on both sides of the family with your physician.
Myth: Eating high-fat foods causes breast cancer.
Fact: Fatty foods contribute to excess body weight, which is a risk factor. Excess body fat gets transformed into estrogen adding to the overall level of estrogen in the body, and estrogen stimulates the proliferation of both normal breast cells as well as the majority of breast cancer cells.
Myth: The majority of breast cancer patients carry a BRCA gene mutation.
Fact: While changes in these genes increase the risk for developing breast cancer to a lifetime risk as high as 80%, only 5 to 10% of breast cancer patients actually have the mutation.
Myth: If I'm diagnosed with breast cancer, it means I'm going to die.
Fact: As mentioned earlier, medicine has advanced over the years in treating breast cancer. Individuals with 10-year survival rates are currently at 85-90%. Up to 98% of women survive at least five years after diagnosis. Breast cancer that has metastasized - or spread to other parts of the body - poses a greater challenge, although women with metastatic breast cancer often live for years with their disease. The main reason for this high survival rate is early detection with the majority detected at stage 0, 1 or 2.
Myth: Herbal remedies and dietary supplements can help treat breast cancer.
Fact: No herbal remedy, dietary supplement or alternative therapy has been scientifically proven to treat breast cancer.

Last month, we talked about how to pull campaign information together for your players, creating a player handout and keeping a player notebook. This month, we look at the same issue from your side of the screen: how to keep your own notes and ideas about your campaign organized.
In talking about the player notebook last time, I pointed out that a physical notebook works great for that purpose, because it's easy for the players to access at the game table. The same is true of your DM's notebook. It's probably the case that more DMs use computers at the game table than players do, and the ease of keeping a DM's notebook in an electronic format is one good reason to have a computer at the table. But if you're one of those DMs (like me) who prefers that the only screen between you and the players is a cardboard DM screen, you're probably looking at a hybrid format—a notebook you maintain on a computer but print out for reference at the table.
Here's a simple example. You've already created a campaign handout for your players. Print an extra copy for yourself, and that's the first page of your DM's notebook. Whatever other notes you have about your campaign, type them up, print them out, and stick them in the notebook. Organize those notes in whatever way works best for you—you might have a section for NPCs, or sections for each distinct geographical area that include NPCs, maps, and other notes about the area. You'll want a page or two for your campaign arc, and then sections (you might want to use dividers) for each adventure, whether you create those adventures yourself, buy them as physical product, or download them from this magazine. It's a great idea to create the section for an adventure as soon as you have any idea of what the adventure will be (perhaps because it appears in your campaign arc). That way, you can make notes in that section as ideas occur to you, and they'll be all in one place when you get around to fleshing out that adventure idea. Be sure to keep a section of your notebook for your idea file, those random thoughts that occur to you that might or might not have anything to do with this campaign. When you come up short on ideas for a new adventure or a new campaign, that idea file is the first place to look.
Depending on how you work, some or all of the pages in your DM's notebook will be documents on a computer that you print out. Try organizing those files on your computer in a structure that mirrors the organization of the physical notebook. In a "DM's Notebook" directory, for example, I might create sub-directories for "Campaign Handout," "Greenbrier Village," "Greenbrier Chasm Part 1," "Gates of Firestorm Peak," "Idea File," and so on. Anything I type up, download, or sketch in a graphics program can then go in the appropriate directory.
It might actually be helpful to extend the metaphor of a computer directory back to your physical DM's notebook as well. Dave Noonan uses a portable file box as his "notebook," with folders for his campaign information and folders for each PC. A nice thing about that kind of container is that it can hold things that won't easily fit in a notebook, such as props, cards (for PC powers or for magic items), or poker chips you use for action point markers. It's also a great way to bring miniatures and Dungeon Tiles to the game.
Looking at the files for old campaigns on my computer now, I wish I had been that organized. Instead, both my physical and my electronic notebooks are jumbled collections of files—some named according to date, some hole-punched, and some scattered haphazardly around the physical or virtual space. Here's the computer directory for my old Eberron campaign, as an example of how not to keep organized:
This, my first stab at organizing files and folders for my Greenbrier campaign, is already looking a lot better:
There is a certain appeal to using a word processing program to lay out beautiful pages and create a DM's notebook that resembles the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, maybe even including beautiful art (whether you create it yourself or scour the Internet for it). Believe me, I understand that appeal—I've been doing that since I was in middle school, and now I get to do it for a living. However, it's not necessarily the best way to organize information for an ongoing campaign.
First of all, that approach encourages you to do more work than you need to do, to overprepare your campaign. You don't need finely crafted pages of text detailing every region of your campaign world; you need the minimum of notes you need to guide your players through the regions they're actually going to enter. It's also all too easy to get bogged down in the big picture of designing your world and forget to give thought to the adventures your players will have there, starting with an outline of your campaign arc.
Beyond that, though, the emphasis of your DM's notebook should be on managing information for yourself, making it easy for you to keep track of the details you create for your campaign, both as you prepare and as you run games. A printed book is okay for that purpose, but it shifts the emphasis to presentation—to creating a pretty product you can show your players, share with others, or even sell as a PDF on the internet. Fundamentally, a DM's notebook is a quantity of freeform text—everything from notes about the races in your campaign to lists of NPC names—that you want to be able to type in, organize however you want, and then search. That's where the power of digital tools really shine.
A word processing program can work just fine for managing this information. Of course you can search in such a program. But would you rather click through every occurrence of the word "dragonborn" in your masterwork campaign guide, or see a list of search results in context, like you get when you search the internet, and click directly to the one you want?
If you are going to use a word processing program, you might be better off using something like an outline or notebook view (like those in Microsoft Word) rather than a page layout view. Instead of thinking about your document as a book you're preparing for publication, think of it as a repository for your notes. An outline or notebook view can more easily give you a place to jot your notes, letting you collapse and expand sections to get quickly to the right section for the note you want to add. Here's an example of how I might use Microsoft Word to maintain a campaign notebook:
Notice that I used a hyperlink to the campaign handout file I created last month.
There are also programs dedicated to outlining and notetaking that can do the job better. I use a Macintosh at home and work, so I'm not familiar with the world of Windows software, but an example from my world is OmniOutliner, shown here:
The little icon at the far left of some lines in the outline shows that I've entered text for those items, which appears in the window below when I click on an item. In this example, I've just searched for "dragonborn," so that word is highlighted in the text about Kharavas down below.
When I get my Greenbrier campaign off the ground for real (Real Soon Now), either of these approaches is going to mean taking all the information that I've created for these columns so far and organizing it, copying chunks of text and pasting them in a different sequence to keep them organized. Here's a different approach, suitable for the lazy or overworked. I created a Google Group for my Greenbrier campaign. I created a bunch of pages and just dumped the text from my first four Dungeoncraft columns into those pages. Now I can search across all of those files, say, for every mention of dragonborn:
Eventually I will want that information to be more organized, but the Google Groups approach leads nicely to the next topic.
Keeping your campaign information on the Internet has two solid advantages over storing it just on your own computer or in a physical notebook. One, you can access it wherever you are—during a slow minute at work or a study period at school. Two, depending on how you set it up, your players can access it as well.
Note that I'm using Google Groups as an example, but I'm not necessarily endorsing Google, here—there are plenty of similar tools freely available on the Internet.
When you create a web page in Google Groups, you can set it so that only you can see the page, so that any member of your group can see it, or so that anyone can see it. For the pages I created with all my campaign notes (in the form of these articles), I set them so only I can see them. But I also put the information from the campaign handout I created last month on its own page, and set that so any group member can view it. I could set editing privileges in the same way—for example, if I created pages for the player characters in the campaign, I could set them up so the players could edit those pages.
But an Internet group comes with a selection of other tools to help facilitate communication and collaboration between me and my players. There's a single email address we can use to send email to everyone in the campaign. There's a file download section where I can store the fancy PDF version of the campaign handout, as well as images and other resources for my players. And there's a discussion section that I could use for a session or adventure log. I (or a designated player) can type up a summary of the session, and then other players can add comments or additional information. In Google Groups, I find the discussion section less than ideal for that purpose, because it also sends email to the group members. But any form of blog, really, is ideal for an adventure log, especially if it allows the players to comment—to add their own notes to the ones you or your designated note-taker write down, or to share funny observations or quotes from the session. (An adventure log that's kept in character by one of the players can be both effective and amusing, particularly when the character in question has a quirky personality or strong opinions about the other player characters. If the other players add comments in character, that can help keep the blog lively!)
Two words of warning on this subject: First, if you're like many DMs, you'll find that it's a challenge to get your players to spare more than a passing thought for your campaign between sessions. That's not a reflection on you as a DM, but most likely an indication that your players have busy lives and other things to think about when they're not at your game table. That can mean a pretty quiet Google Group.
Second, remember that the primary purpose of a tool like this group is to help you keep your information organized. Whatever tool you choose, make sure the end result is something you can access easily at the table, whether that's because you have a computer with you behind the DM screen or because you make hard copies of everything on your computer and file them in a physical notebook. Ideally, it should be just as easy for you to add information to your (physical or virtual) notebook in the middle of a game session as it is for you to find information you need. Again, though, that can mean scribbling a note on a page in a physical book in mid-session and then transferring that note to an electronic file after the session, or it can mean typing the note directly into a file or a Web page you have open during the game.
Keeping track of time in a D&D campaign can be a bother, it can be something you pretty much ignore, or it can be a fun and rewarding way to make your campaign world seem more real. It's not essential that you keep any kind of careful track of the passage of time. I say that because it's not my favorite part of running a game, and it's something I easily lose track of. But there are some easy things you can do to keep the passage of time in your game rooted in the simulation of reality.
Incidentally, keeping track of time in your campaign is much easier if your world happens to have twelve months of irregular length, totaling 365 days each year. Change the names of the months and the days of the week if you want to, to give your world an otherworldly feeling, but tracking time on an earth-like calendar, as irrational as it might seem, is easier for you and for your players than working on a calendar you've created for your own world.
The easiest is to note the start date of an adventure, make a hatch mark beneath it every time the characters stop for an extended rest, and at the end of the adventure tally up the number of days that have passed and note the end date. When you start the next adventure, make sure its start date is later than the end date of the last adventure. That's all you really need to ensure that you can describe the changing seasons to your players.
You can also print out a calendar sheet—either a page from a real-world calendar, or something you create to match the calendar of your world. On that page, you can note what characters do with each day that passes—"travel to Harrows Pass" might cover three or four days on the calendar one week, while the next day might say, "HP encounters 1, 2, 6, 5."
You can do the same sort of thing in just a running text format, either on paper or in an electronic document. I use this approach for my novels, as in this example from my working files for Storm Dragon:
Eyre 12, 999 YK:
(morning) teleport to Darguun, stock up on supplies Rienne leaves Stormhome on airship. (afternoon) teleport to Paluur Draal and explore. Big fight between Haldren and Gaven. Haldren teleports away, while Gaven and Senya remain. They start moving toward Korranberg. They need to make about 75 miles on foot: that's about 3 or 4 days.
Eyre 13, 999 YK:
(morning) Gaven and Senya on the streambank; Haldren's rendezvous with Vaskar (late morning) Rienne on the airship looking over the Mournland (night) Gaven and Senya talk about the Prophecy
Eyre 14, 999 YK:
(morning) Rienne arrives in Vathirond
Eyre 17, 999 YK:
(noon) Gaven and Senya reach Korranberg and board the lightning rail Korranberg => Zolanberg is 300 miles @ 30 mph; 10 hours. (11 pm) G&S reach Zolanberg, avoid authorities again Zolanberg => Sterngate is 386 miles = 13 hours
Eyre 18, 999 YK:
(noon) reach Sterngate lightning rail reaches Starilaskur around midnight (12 hours)
The main reason I needed to keep track of time like this is because I had different characters in different parts of the world doing things at the same time, and I needed to bring them together eventually. That's the best reason for tracking time in your D&D game as well, whether your group of player characters splits up at some point or you need to coordinate their activities with those of one or more NPCs. When I was one DM in a shared-world campaign, keeping track of time was particularly important. Each player had multiple characters, partly because of situations where one character went on an adventure that consumed long stretches of game time, leaving those characters unavailable for other adventures that took place in the same timeframe!
Whatever approach you choose for tracking time, keep your chronological record in your DM's notebook where you can make easy reference to it.
And that's what I have to offer on the subject of managing your campaign information. How about you? Have anything to add? How do you keep your notebook organized?

Tom Sherwood
D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray announced the District would be lowering fines from controversial speed cameras beginning Monday. The city has had many complaints the tickets and the high fines that bring in millions of dollars. But as Tom Sherwood reports, some say the new fines don't go low enough.
D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, responding to a torrent of criticism over costly speed camera fines in the District, is announcing major changes that will affect motorists in the city.
At a news conference, the mayor announced several administrative changes that don't require council approval and will take effect Monday, Nov. 5:
The mayor's administrative action comes as some council members are moving ahead with legislation to force a reduction in the speed camera fines.
Ward 6 Council member Tommy Wells, a major proponent of lower fines, said Gray may not have lowered fines enough with the new proposal.
Wells said it appears Gray is keeping fines still high "to balance the budget. There's no correlation between the size of the fines and lower speeds," Wells told News4. He said the danger of being caught is what keeps most motorists from speeding too much.
As for hiring police and raising speed limits on some roads, Wells welcome the changes. "That's great, to reinvest in public safety. It does create a little more confidence" that the city isn't simply gauging motorists for revenue.
The city raises tens of millions of dollars in speed camera fines each year.

Eagle Creek Packable Daypack 6 6
Light weight and functional This pack provides just enough space for carry on essentials for plane travel and for day bus trips while away. July 25, 2014
nice small daypack I want to use this daypack as a purse when I travel by air. Then I can use it daily as I travel. July 19, 2014
This backpack has saved the day more than once! I LOVE this bag. I have tons of luggage and several small backpacks. I wasn't sure I would use it. But, there have been several times where I threw this in "just in case" because it is so small. By the end of each trip I find myself using this as my main day bag. Also, I have been known to check my carry-on bag on the way back and using this on the way home (since I bought stuff that needed to get home). I wasn't sure I would be able to get it to pack back into it's pocket, but it goes in really easily, much easier than everything else that supposedly packs in it's own pocket. It doesn't have a ton of compartments, but it does have an outside pocket and a place to lock in your keys. It is just the right combination of lightweight and packable and usable. June 19, 2012
Perfect for the day Lightweight, perfect for travel and day events for all ages. December 16, 2013
compact and roomy I plan on taking this on vac. it is very compact, but roomy May 17, 2013
Just what I need!! The size is great. Will fix into my pocketbook, not heavy, and when I need it during the day, I just take it out. Thanks. April 2, 2013

Minutes of the Lebanon Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting
February 28, 2000
President Jane Myers called the meeting to order at 4:30 p. m. Present, along with Director Kay K. Martin, were members Ruth Lucas, Huck Lewis, Sharon Wood, Mike Burns, and Marsha Truitt. Ron Morelock arrived at 5:00 p. m.
The Secretary's report was approved after a motion by Ruth was seconded by Huck. Ruth presented Treasurer's reports for the end of 1999 and for January 2000, and answered questions concerning disbursement of money and the funds that were carried forward to the New Year. Her reports were approved after Sharon seconded a motion by Mike.
Kay advised that the surveys for public opinion were being printed and would be available at the check out desk soon. The surveys will be in circulation for a month. As soon as the surveys are tallied the Long Range Plan committee will meet to discuss the results. The survey results will be the basis for the Long Range Plan.
A discussion of Department Reports produced the information that Boone County Employment & Training services may pay 100 % of the salary for a new employee to assist Dian in the Heritage Room. In other conversation, Kay was asked to make it perfectly clear to the entire staff that the Board has no intention of using a collection agency or taking any kind of serious action regarding past due fines and lost books. The concept of amnesty periods benefiting local charities and worthwhile organizations in lieu of past due fines and lost materials was promoted once again. More than one member requested that we not review the overdue fine figures on a monthly basis.
The Director's report was discussed and reviewed, with Kay adding information about Adams Electric installing electrical outlets in the upper electrical room so that the de-icing units can be installed. We hope the de-icing units will curtail the roof leakage. A motion to allow her to spend the money needed for this project was approved after Marsha seconded a motion by Ruth.
Under New Business, a resolution to raise the non-resident fee to $50 per year or $28 for 6 months was approved following a motion from Huck that was seconded by Ruth. Mike made a motion that the yearly transfer of funds be completed, Marsha seconded, and the motion passed. The Board agreed that the library interior is badly in need of paint, and various contacts for this job were suggested.
Under Old Business, it was agreed that the Library would spend the $572 required for an ILF membership, after a motion by Marsha was seconded by Ron. Jane reviewed information she received from the Lawler Building selling agent. After Ron seconded a motion from Mike, the Board authorized Huck Lewis as a member of the Building Committee, to advise realtor Jerry Alexander that the Board requests he represent the Library's interests in the possible purchase of the Lawler property. We will let Mr. Alexander handle whatever appraisals are needed, asking, if at all possible, that he use local appraisers for this project.
Mike made a motion to appoint Todd Meyer as attorney for the Lebanon Public Library, with the Board reviewing the appointment of legal counsel on a yearly basis, and with a $50 per month retainer fee being paid to our attorney. Ruth seconded this motion, which passed with Mike, Ruth, Sharon, Huck, and Marsha voting in favor, while Jane and Ron abstained.
A motion from Sharon and seconded by Jane won unanimous approval for the board to honor Larry Giddings for his many years of dedicated service as the Library's attorney, with a book Kay will choose for the new Classic Book Collection.
After a motion by Huck was seconded by Marsha, claims were approved. Before Jane adjourned the meeting at 5:50 p. m., Kay advised the Board that she has chosen the contract with CMB Consulting that calls for 100 hours of service at $50 per hour. It was also decided the Board will postpone a definite decision about Chat Room Access on Library computers.
The next Board Meeting is scheduled for 4:30 p. m. on Monday, March 27th.

A grand jury has voted not to indict any police officers involved in the death of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr., the Westchester District Attorney said Thursday.
There was "no reasonable cause to vote an indictment," DA Janet DiFiore said.
At the same time, she revealed that she has been assured the police department will order "a top to bottom review" of the procedures and training involving the use of force with respect to emotionally disturbed people. She said her office will monitor this review.
The grand jury was tasked with hearing testimony over whether criminal charges should be brought against the White Plains Department of Public Safety for their actions the night Chamberlain was killed. Proceedings began on April 11 and concluded May 2.
Chamberlain, a 68-year-old retired Marine, was shot and killed on Nov. 19 by White Plains Officer Anthony Carelli in his apartment a 135 S. Lexington Ave.
The officers broke down Chamberlain's door to respond to his medical alert device.
The grand jury considered more than 100 pieces of evidence and heard testimony from 42 witnesses including police officers, Chamberlain's family members and neighbors, DiFiore said. Carelli, along with the two other officers who used force against Chamberlain, all testified before the grand jury without immunity from prosecution, DiFiore said.
All audio and video evidence captured through the police Taser and Chamberlain's medical alert system were played for the grand jury in their entirety, the DA said. Though the district attorney's office said they will not be releasing any of the recordings, White Plains Commissioner of Public Safety David Chong said the department would release the footage to the media.
"The grand jury heard all of the evidence on the use of physical force by the police in this encounter," DiFiore said. "The grand jury also heard the evidence of the threat of physical force by Mr. Chamberlain during the encounter."
DiFiore said the law restricts her from discussing specifics about the evidence presented to the grand jury. She also declined to comment on the ethnic backgrounds of the 23-member grand jury, saying she was only allowed to release a statement after receiving clearance from a judge Thursday morning.
Chamberlain's family say the facts show White Plains officers acted with racial bias and extremely recklessness against Chamberlain, an unarmed heart patient. They announced they would file a wrongful death suit against the city and the Police Department in February.
The family has also threatened to bring the case to federal court if a Westchester jury does not bring an indictment. DiFiore said her staff has already met with representatives from the United States Attorney's office, as is protocal during such cases and that her office will no longer investigate the case.
"Our work is done," she said.
Wednesday, Chamberlain family lawyer Randolph McLaughlin, also a Pace University professor, said that at least three White Plains officers working the night Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. was shot and killed have pending lawsuits involving allegations of police brutality that also touch on race.
Then a White Plains federal jury decided in favor of one of those officers, Sgt. Stephen Fottrell, rejecting the claims of a Brooklyn woman who said the officer abused her outside a White Plains bar in 2006. Fottrell was on call at South Lexington Avenue when Chamberlain was shot.
Carelli is one of six White Plains officers accused in $10 million civil lawsuit brought by twin brothers of Jordanian decent, McLaughlin said. Officer Steven Hart is also facing a federal civil right suit. McLaughlin said Hart could be heard on a transcript saying, "Stop, we have to talk [the n-word]" before police broke down his door.
Today, DiFiore confirmed that a racial slur was used by one of the officers there, but did not name the officer. He was outside a window of the basement apartment and was not one who used force. Difiore said she has been assured by the police department there will be a review of that officer's conduct.
"While this utterance itself is not a crime under New York State law, the use of a racial epithet in any context is offensive to the dignity of every one of us," DiFiore said. "The use of these words by anyone—let alone a public servant who is sworn to uphold the public good—is intolerable and should never, ever, be condoned or ignored."
police often visited Chamberlain, whose autopsy revealed that he was legally drunk at the time, and that Chamberlain threatened to kill himself and attacked officers with a hatchet and knife before police shot him.
When asked about her office's failure to bring an indictment in the case, DiFiore said the lengthy investigation presented all of the evidence possible and that her office's work "speaks for itself".
"We did everything we could and should do to put before that grand jury every piece of relevant and admissible evidence so the grand jury would be in the best position possible to determine whether or not anyone was responsible for committing a crime," she said. "I think that the grand jury reviewed that evidence carefully and came to that determination."

Artist - Boba Fett's Conceptual Artist
Born: June 13, 1929 Died: March 3, 2012
Conceptual artist for the Star Wars trilogy. His paintings communicated George Lucas' vision of Boba Fett and the other bounty hunters to the rest of the film's art department. Ralph worked with Joe Johnston on the design for Boba Fett's armor.
"I was sitting in a meeting with George, doodling on a piece of paper while taking notes. He was talking about Hoth, and I was thinking about a costume for that. When George saw this sketch, he said, 'that would make a good bounty hunter. Develop it and make it a guy with all kinds of gadgets on his suit -- rockets and so forth -- to defend himself with.'" -- The Art of Ralph McQuarrie (April 2007)
Several of McQuarrie's paintings also feature Boba Fett in both a white armor and also in a Western-style brown poncho. This look was not used either for the film production.

Attorney General George Jepsen says he is unaware of any facts or legal theories upon which the state should be liable for causing harms inflicted at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14.
Jepsen's statement, issued Monday afternoon, comes days after New Haven-based attorney Irving Pinsky filed a claim seeking permission to file a $100 million lawsuit on behalf of the family of an unnamed 6-year-old survivor. The claim, necessary in the state of Connecticut before the suit could be filed, asserts that the state failed to protect Sandy Hook Elementary School from "foreseeable harm."
"As attorney general, my office has a statutory obligation to defend this claim," Jepsen stated in an email to Connecticut news agencies. "Our hearts go out to this family, and to all the children and families affected by the Newtown shootings. They deserve a thoughtful and deliberate examination of the causes of this tragedy and of the appropriate public policy responses.
"However, the Office of the Claims Commissioner is not the appropriate venue for that important and complex discussion. Although the investigation is still under way, we are aware of no facts or legal theory under which the State of Connecticut should be liable for causing the harms inflicted at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Nor does the claim letter filed in this case identify a valid basis to support a claim against the state and, by extension, its taxpayers."
The claim states that the state Board of Education, the state Department of Education and the education commissoner did not take proper steps to "protect the minor children from harm," the Hartford Courant originally reported. Pinsky's claim states his client suffered pscyhological and emotional distress because of what she saw and heard on Dec. 14.
That is when 20 children and six educators were gunned down at the school by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, a Newtown resident who police said ultimately shot and killed himself. Lanza reportedly also shot and killed his mother, Nancy, before driving to the nearby school.
Do you think the state or anyone else should be held responsible for the shooting? Tell us in the comments section below.

For Immediate Release: April 19, 2012
Davidson County Businessman Pleads Guilty to Theft
Nashville, Tenn. - The Special Investigations Section of the Tennessee Department of Revenue conducted the investigation that led to the April 19, 2012, guilty plea of Naswon L. Ahmed, age 37, of Nashville, Tenn. Ahmed, owner of 4-Stop Market, located at 1401 Woodland Street in Nashville, was sentenced by Davidson County Criminal Court Judge Steve Dozier.
Ahmed pled guilty to one count of Theft of Property over $1,000, in violation of Tenn. Code Ann. Section 39-14-103, a Class D felony. Judge Dozier granted Ahmed's request for judicial diversion and placed him on supervised probation for two years and ordered him to complete twenty hours of community service. Full restitution to the Tennessee Department of Revenue in the amount of $2,432.60 had been made. In addition, civil taxes, penalties, and interest may be due to the state.
"Tennessee's tax structure depends on taxpayers voluntarily complying with the laws," said Revenue Commissioner Richard H. Roberts. "Taxpayer's who collect but intentionally do not remit sales tax, breach the public's trust and violate the criminal laws of the State. This case underscores our commitment to rigorous and fair administration of Tennessee's tax laws."
Prosecution of this criminal case was pursued by the department in cooperation with District Attorney General Victor S. Johnson, III's office. Commissioner Roberts expressed his appreciation for the excellent cooperation the department has enjoyed with General Johnson. Citizens who suspect violations of Tennessee's revenue laws should call the toll-free tax fraud hot line at (800) FRAUDTX (372-8389).
In addition to collecting state taxes, $2.0 billion of local sales and business taxes were collected by the department for local governments during the 2011 fiscal year. Besides collecting taxes, the department enforces the revenue laws fairly and impartially in an effort to encourage voluntary taxpayer compliance. The department also apportions revenue collections for distribution to the various state funds and local units of government. To learn more about the department, log on to www.TN.gov/revenue.

About the Propane Education & Research Council
Your clean-energy partner for comfort and performance
The Propane Education & Research Council promotes the safe, efficient use of propane as a preferred energy source. Congress passed the Propane Education and Research Act (PERA) in 1996, and the industry began to conduct a referendum among propane producers and marketers, who overwhelmingly approved the formation of the Council.
The Council receives funding by an assessment, or "check-off," on each gallon of odorized propane gas. The assessment will collect five-tenths of one cent per gallon in 2008 and is projected to generate $50 million to fund programs and projects.
Through the Council, the propane industry has committed itself to a multiyear, multimillion-dollar effort to improve consumer and employee safety, fund research and development of new and more efficient propane equipment, and expand public awareness of propane and its many uses and environmental advantages.
In addition to its activities in the residential and commercial construction industry, PERC promotes the use of propane under the following missions:
- Autogas. Autogas delivers high-octane power yet fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline and considerably less nitrogen oxide and particulate pollution than diesel.
- Research and Development. PERC's research and development mission invests in new technologies and fosters industry practices that bring innovative products and services to customers, improve the economic vitality of the industry, and provide greater value to propane consumers.
- Propane Safety. The Safety and Training Advisory Committee (STAC) leads PERC's mandated mission to develop programs and projects to enhance consumer and employee safety and training.
- Propane for Agriculture. Propane can be a key solution for many agricultural operations, including waste treatment, crop drying, power generation, and space conditioning.

Six high school students shifted uncomfortably in their seats as Campbell Law School Dean Melissa Essary began peppering them with questions about the nation's rule of law. With characteristic verve, she compared their quick course in legal education to a pot of hot spaghetti.
"Let's see what sticks to the wall," she said.
Plenty, it turns out. Before long, the students were sharing their thoughts on the role of the Supreme Court in shaping the law, gray areas in the Constitution and one of Essary's favorite topics: the role of personal responsibility in building a better government.
"If the government is a reflection of its people," said Emily Tomasko, a home schooled teenager from Cary, "then the more people educate themselves ... the better their government will be."
Essary beamed.
It's not every day that 16-year-olds get to sit around and jaw with a law school dean. Or a Superior Court judge. Or the head of the state Bar. Especially to talk about a topic so abstract, yet so profoundly important as the role of the law in daily life.
Yet that's what happened Monday afternoon at what organizers hope will become an annual Rule of Law Conference for high school students.
It was the brainchild of News & Observer Publisher Orage Quarles III, who attended a similar conference aimed at adults a few years ago in Cary.
"He came up to me after and said, 'We need to do this for high school kids,' " said state Supreme Court Justice Mark Martin. So Martin took the Bar Association's adult seminar, which he has helped take to 32 states, and refashioned it for a teenage audience. Martin said the conference was the first of its kind. .
"This is a supplement to the schools' civics lessons," he said. "We want to show them how the law applies, not just to lawyers and judges, but to each citizen and every citizen."
Later, more than 100 students from 10 Triangle high schools and 20 home schools met in small groups with local legal luminaries including Essary, who volunteered the law school as host for the event.
Essary's involvement is emblematic of a broader mission of outreach that has characterized the dean and the law school since their move last fall from Campbell's main campus in Buies Creek to downtown Raleigh.
The conference might also turn out to be a great recruiting tool. Several of the students said they are considering attending law school someday.
"I used to think I wanted to be a newspaper reporter," said Kyle Goetzinger, a rising junior at Fuquay-Varina High School, "but then I decided, I'd like to be able to afford a car."
