Nike Basketball Inside Access: Colorway Inspirations
January 7th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
Gone are the days when Nike would roll out a new signature shoe in a basic, team oriented colorway. Starting this year the minds over at Nike Basketball, led by Eugene Rogers, have changed their whole approach to the first out of the gate releases for their Big Three models, opting instead for energetic colorways that tell a deeper story. Need evidence? The KD 6 "Seat Pleasant", LeBron 11 "King's Pride", and upcoming Kobe 9 Elite "Masterpiece" all embody this new way of thinking with respect to sneaker launches, with each of these memorable launches bridging the sneaker with personal story with ease and unforeseen creativity. Continue reading for a glimpse at each as well as the official word on this approach from Nike Basketball, and let us know what other colorway storylines you'd like to see Nike delve deeper into as we prepare for more volumes of signature models.

Tinos island has several interesting caves that have not been developed yet. The first one is located in coastal "Gastria" area close to Kionia and is still unexplored. It has been associated with local traditions, since, as local inhabitants say, its length runs all the way up to the great rock of Exomburgo.
Two other caves are located in Panormos area in the NW side of the homonym gulf.

Mich. shooting spree suspect competent for trial
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 2:11pm EST
HOWELL, Mich. (AP) - A man charged in a shooting spree that targeted motorists along a highway corridor in four Michigan counties has been found competent to stand trial.
A forensic competency examination found Raulie Casteel fit for trial on charges brought by the state attorney general's office.
The findings were discussed at a hearing Wednesday in Howell District Court.
Casteel faces similar charges in Oakland County. A competency hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Novi District Court in that case. The findings are expected to be the same.
Casteel faces 60 counts in Oakland County, including assault with intent to murder. The AG's office brought a terrorism charge against him.
Authorities say the 43-year-old shot at cars along Interstate 96 in October.
Defense lawyers describe Casteel as college educated with no criminal history.

|Huskies Edge Seahawks In Matinee
BOSTON – Freshman Haley Sinclair scored in 69th minute to break a 1-all tie and lead Northeastern to a 2-1 victory over UNCW in Colonial Athletic Association women's soccer action Sunday at Parsons Field.
The Huskies improved to 2-6-3 overall and 2-0-0 in league play while the Seahawks slipped to 5-7-0 and 0-2-0.
Sinclair's game-winning strike came at the 68:28 mark as she headed home a corner kick from senior Hanna Terry for her first collegiate tally.
In the first half, sophomore Katrina Guillou opened the scoring in the 25th minute when she gained possession of the ball at the top of the box before placing her shot into the right-hand side of the net for her fifth goal of the season. Senior Meg Kiser was credited with an assist on the play.
The Huskies drew even at 1-all with exactly eight minutes remaining in the first half when sophomore Morgan Hilby took advantage of a feed from Terry to score her third goal of the season.
Junior Paige Burnett got the start in goal for the Huskies and made one save to earn the victory. Freshman Liisa Rahkola began the game in the net for the Seahawks and made two saves before leaving the game with an injury in the 78th minute. Freshman Carolyn Huddy replaced Rahkola and played the final 12:53.
Northeastern held a 12-6 shot advantage in the contest, highlighted by a 5-2 advantage in the second half. Both teams were awarded two corner kicks.
UNCW returns to action Oct. 4 as it hosts Towson in a 7 p.m. contest at the UNCW Soccer Stadium. Northeastern is back on the pitch Oct. 5 when it entertains Hofstra in a 6 p.m. matchup.

OREGON CITY, Ore -- The shooting death of an Oregon City police officer has put a spotlight on what happens to the families left behind when an officer dies in the line of duty. Now police in the Salem area are starting a charity aimed at offering help.
A memorial wall in Salem has the names of more than 170 Oregon law enforcement officers who've died in the line of duty.
Officer Matt Hagan wants the newly created Oregon Fallen Officer Memorial Fund to help families that lose a loved one to police service.
"You look at it as a family and it's kind of an extended family member that you've lost," Hagan said. "I thought it was important to be able to step up and help out because if it happens to me, God forbid, I'd want my wife and child to be covered."
While Oregon City reserve officer Robert Libke, who died from a gunshot wound on Nov. 4, has a fund set up in his name, Hagan's group wants to help the families of fallen offices all around the state.
More: Slain officer honored with Medal of Ultimate Sacrifice
Ashleigh Armenakis is the wife of a reserve officer and volunteer with the project.
"I know the financial impact on me would be devastating if my husband were to lose his life in the line of duty," Armenakis said.
Through a Facebook page, fundraisers aim to offer immediate financial help.
"The fund can make a difference in a huge way," Armenakis said. "The goal is to be able to take care of that family in the interim of checks coming in from life insurance."
The fund has already received a few thousand dollars in donations and the board is planning a winter fundraiser. They want to be prepared to help the families of fallen officers but hope the money will never have to be spent.

The following is a community contribution from blogger Jennifer Thomas on behalf of the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island. It originally appeared on Narragansett - South Kingston Patch.
Starting at a
surprisingly young age, cultural gender expectations discourage girls from
When a young girl asserts herself in the manner expected of boys, she risks being branded bossy—a precursor to other offensive and dismissive descriptors such as "aggressive," "angry," and "overly ambitious."
Research on girls and leadership is devastatingly clear. According to a study conducted by the Girl Scouts Research Institute (GSRI), middle school girls are less interested in leadership roles than boys because they fear being disliked. Indeed, 53% of Girl Scouts have been called bossy at least once, and teachers are more likely to ask a Girl Scout to lead at school because of her well-developed leadership skills."Girls are twice as likely as boys to avoid leadership roles for fear of being deemed 'bossy' by their peers," explains Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). "At Girl Scouts, we want to bring adults and girls together to empower them as our next generation of leaders."
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, author of Lean In, and cofounder of LeanIn.org, believes we should encourage girls to "lean in" and let their voices be heard. "We need to recognize the ways we systematically discourage leadership in girls from a young age—and instead, we need to encourage them [to lead]," Sandberg explains.
Citing additional research by the Girl Scouts Research Institute, Neil Stamps, CEO of Girl Scouts of Rhode Island, says that "60% of girls nationwide do not want to be leaders. To help encourage more girls to be leaders, Girl Scouts of Rhode Island is focused on delivering the Girl Scout Leadership Experience – including top-notch programming that helps girls develop strong leadership skills and gain confidence in their leadership abilities."
As part of the Ban Bossy campaign, Lifetime TV will air a "Ban Bossy" PSA with appearances by Chávez and Sandberg, as well as Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, performer Beyoncé, actress Jennifer Gardner, fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, and others.
The Ban Bossy campaign will be housed on a newly launched website, BanBossy.com, where visitors can take the pledge to Ban Bossy, share facts and figures on girls' leadership, read Ban Bossy quotes from celebrities and leaders, and download our leadership tips encouraging girls and women to lead at home, at school, and at work.
We want all girls to know they can be anything they want to be. Whether your girl seeks to be the CEO of the world's largest company or the CEO of her family at home, the time to ban bossy is now—and the campaign should start at home. "So the next time you have the urge to call your little girl 'bossy'?" Sandberg explains. "Take a deep breath and say, 'My daughter has executive leadership skills.'"How do you empower young women in your life? What are ways your community supports female leadership development?

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
RICHLANDS, Va. —
It has become an annual tradition for Richlands and Cave Spring to meet in the Region IV playoffs.
This year is no different, except this time it's in the regional semifinals, with the winner playing either Marion or Tunstall for the Region IV title and a berth in the Division 3 state semifinals the following week.
Cave Spring (6-5), winners of two of the last three Region IV titles, will visit Richlands (9-1) tonight, with the kickoff at Ernie Hicks Stadium slated for 7:30 p.m.
"We know we have a really good team coming in here," said Richlands head coach Greg Mance, whose Blues lost 35-21 to Cave Spring last November in the regional title game. "We will have to have our 'A' game to come out of here with a victory...
"It is just really nice to play at home, I think we play much better here than we do on the road."
Mance is always Lou Holtz-like in his praise of the opposition, and for good reason with the Knights, who are 6-5, but all five losses have come against Roanoke Valley competition. Among the wins is a 17-14 decision at Pulaski County. Richlands also played the Cougars and lost 28-17.
Cave Spring also has a 37-24 win over Division 4 Christiansburg, and close losses to Salem (28-21) and Hidden Valley (21-12).
"They play quality competition...," Mance said. "They are a very sound football team. They have got seven starters back on defense from last year's region championship team. Offensively I think they only have three starters back, but those guys are really, really good football players."
Cave Spring, which sandwiched a 2010 loss to Richlands between a pair of wins in '09 and '11, was led last season by graduated Sam Wright, who ran for 303 yards and five touchdowns.
"We just got whipped," Mance said. "The offensive and defensive lines just got whipped and they couldn't sustain blocks and we lost the line of scrimmage on defense and that was the key to the game."
The Blue Tornado has been hampered by injuries, having lost quarterback Gray Baker and lineman Zach Franklin for the season, and will be without standout receiver/defensive back A.J. Johnson, who was ejected from the Blues' 65-33 win two weeks ago against Tazewell.
Josh Dowd and Chase Ray will be expected to step up on both sides of the ball in Johnson's absence, but Mance said the Blues have been doing that all season.
"Without (A.J.) it is going to be a lot tougher, but these kids have been resilient all year, they have stepped up," Mance said. "The kids have played over their heads, they have played extremely well when they have been thrown in the fire and that is what we are expecting on Friday night."
Ben Brown has stepped into Baker's shoes since returning from his own injury woes, and has performed well. He'll be assisted by Colton Staten (1,563 yards, 12 touchdowns) and Todd McGlothlin (30 receptions, 445 yards, 6 td).
Jordan Bryant paces Cave Spring — which is allowing 17.2 points per game —on defense with 112 1/2 tackles, while Matt Reiter had 66. The Knights have four players with at least 10 tackles for loss, including 15 apiece by Bryant and Reiter.
The most points allowed in a game this season by Cave Spring is 28.
"They play great defense and that is what sticks out," Mance said. "If you look at their scores nobody gets a lot of points on them..."
The 6-foot-3, 232-pound Bryant is also a standout tight end, who has snared 32 receptions for 380 yards and five touchdowns this season.
"He is just a tremendous tight end and a tremendous linebacker," said Mance, whose Blue are scoring 36.2 points a game. "I don't know where he is going to school, but I can guarantee you he is going to play college football. He is a football player."
Cave Spring, which scores 23.9 points a game, is led on offense by Connor Baker, who has thrown for 1,855 yards and 18 touchdowns. His favorite targets are Jack Woody (47-753, 9 td), John Evans (45-571, 4 td) and Bryant (32-380, 5 td).
Baker and James Jackson (490 yards) are the leaders on the ground, running behind 6-6, 303-pound Dylan Brucki, who has received an offer from Liberty. Daniel Seymour has made 11 field goals for the Knights.
Richlands will counter with linemen Sam Lawson (44 tackles, 6 tackles for loss), Eric Johnson (61 tkls, 9 tfl, 3 sacks) and McGlothlin (74 tkls, 17 tfl, 14 sacks, 3 forced fumbles), along with linebacker Frank Taylor, who leads the Blues with 113 tackles, 16 stops for loss and six sacks.
A.J. Johnson will also be missed in the secondary, where he has 17 pass breakups and five interceptions. The Blues have allowed 14.8 points a game, but face a big challenge in the Knights.
Cave Spring has struggled with teams who play power football against them, something the Bluees will try to do.
"We are hoping to come out and execute and play extremely well," Mance said. "We have got a couple of injuries that have really made it tough, but our kids have bounced back and found a way to win through all the controversy and through all the injuries we have had to overcome this year."
Richlands, which defeated Cave Spring 36-23 in 2010 on its way to the state championship game, had last week off to prepare for the Knights.
It's now time to put that plan into action.
"We have got to move the ball, we have got to be able to run the football because they are so fast and they do such a great job of getting in throwing lanes," Mance said. "You are not going to pass the ball 35 times against them.
"We have got to be able to run the football, we have got to win the time of possession and the third thing is we have got to win the turnover battle. Special teams are going to make a big contribution here because in the games we have played, field position is going to be crucial."

Today, President Obama announced his new plan to add more burdensome taxes and regulations on American energy producers, and consequently, make energy more expensive for millions of American families and businesses.
With all of the serious issues facing the nation and the severe mistrust Americans have in our government and our economy, it's bizarre that the President chose to focus on declaring "war on coal" today. At a time when creating jobs should be our number one priority, the President has unfortunately made it clear that making energy affordable to American families and businesses is not a priority.
In response, Majority Leader Eric Cantor made the following statement:
"The President has been largely silent on so many critical issues facing our nation, including Syria, the NSA and jobs, so it was disappointing when instead of addressing these topics, he chose to declare a war on coal today and announce new energy taxes on working families. At a time when 20 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed, and even more have lost trust in our government and faith in our economy, the President should be focused on getting people back to work and restoring that trust.
"President Obama's senior adviser, Daniel Schrag, told the New York Times 'The one thing the president really needs to do now is to begin the process of shutting down the conventional coal plants. Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they're having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what's needed.' The President's war on coal has real consequences for American families in the form of lost jobs and higher utility bills.
"Energy costs are rising and job creation is dwindling as a result of this Administration's inability to adopt a reasonable and responsible energy policy. Just last year, 400 good-paying coal jobs in Virginia were lost as a result – and the President's plan announced today only perpetuates more of the same job-destroying policies that close businesses and devastate communities. We need an all-of-the-above energy plan.
"House Republicans are focused on lowering energy costs and creating jobs for American families, and our proposals which include two offshore energy bills, hydropower legislation, and the expedited construction of the Keystone Pipeline, will do just that. Rather than seek to unilaterally make heating your homes and fueling your car more expensive, the President should work with us to lower costs and unleash our abundant energy resources off the coast of Virginia and across the country."

FAQ: The Deadly Ebola Virus
April 4, 2014 -- Perhaps no virus strikes as much fear in people as Ebola, the cause of a deadly outbreak in the West African nation of Guinea.
The Guinea Ministry of Health has reported 127 cases of Ebola virus disease as of April 1, and 83 people had died, according to the World Health Organization. The cases of infected people include 14 health care workers, 8 of whom have died.
Ebola was first identified in 1976, when it appeared in outbreaks in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is named for the Ebola River, which runs near the Congolese village where one of the first outbreaks happened.
WebMD asked Amesh Adalja, MD, about the virus and efforts to contain it. Adalja is an infectious disease physician at the University of Pittsburgh.
Q. How deadly is Ebola?
A. The Ebola strain in the Guinea outbreak is the most lethal of the five known strains of the virus. It is called Ebola Zaire and kills up to 9 out of 10 infected people. But the high death rate might be due to a lack of modern medical care, Adalja says. "It's hard to say exactly what the [death] rate would be in a modern hospital with all of its intensive care units."
Q. What are the symptoms?
A. At first, the symptoms are like a bad case of the flu: high fever, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, and weakness. They are followed quickly by vomiting, diarrhea, and internal and external bleeding, which can spread the virus. The kidneys and liver begin to fail.
Ebola Zaire kills people quickly, typically 7 to 14 days after symptoms appear, Adalja says.
A person can have the virus but not show any symptoms for as long as 3 weeks, Adalja says. People who survive can still have the virus in their system for weeks afterward.
Q. How does the virus spread?
A. Ebola isn't as contagious as more common viruses, such as colds, influenza, or measles, Adalja says. It spreads to people by close contact with skin and bodily fluids from infected animals, such as fruit bats and monkeys. Then it spreads from person to person the same way. It can also spread indirectly, such as by sharing a towel with an infected person.
The Guinea government has banned bat soup, which is a delicacy in that country, to help stop the spread. Adalja says he doesn't know if that will help much, though, because the virus has already spilled over into humans. "The key message is to minimize bodily fluid exposures."
Q. Is there a cure or a vaccine to protect against it?
A. No, but scientists are working on both. There is no specific treatment for Ebola. The only treatments available now are supportive kinds, such as IV fluids and, if available, medications to level out blood pressure, a respirator, and transfusions, Adalja says.

Ok, planning a trip this winter to New Mexico, predominantly the Sante Fe area.
So, looking for hotel, good restaurtants, things to see.......
Oooh... If you've got the bucks, the La Fonda oozes atmosphere; La Posada too. But even if you end up at the Motel 6, try really hard to make it into the Plaza area very early in the morning -- seven or so -- park, and get out and walk around the whole area and take in the atmosphere while it is empty and quiet and imagine that you're back a hundred years, and then treat yourself to some great coffee at one of the little coffee shops. There was one off the plaza about a block that had great little pastries, too, but I don't remember the name. Bonus points if you do this after a night with a couple inches of snow. (Santa Fe's the only place I've ever been with pink snow piled by the side of the road.)
Take a walk down Canyon Road later in the day, and a lot of artists studios will be open. Lots of galleries downtown, too, but I like the old adobes on Canyon.
Food: La Fonda had a surprisingly good breakfast in my one time eating there. I thought it would be more a tourist trap, but it was good. We also liked the Tecolote Cafe, and the Coyote (Cafe?). We've rarely had bad food in Santa Fe.
Not too far a drive: Bandelier National Monument, which is like Mesa Verde without the crowds. It suffered a lot in a fire and flood, but there is still a lot to see, and in winter it is usually very uncrowded. Nearby is Los Alamos, and the Bradbury Science Museum. This museum has a fabulous historical exhibit on the creation and operation of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, beautifully curated. I'm minimally interested in bombs, but the historical exhibit is much more about the people and place.
I managed to read Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop before my first trip to Santa Fe, and I'm glad I did. Might be cool to read it there, too. Not sure what else is set there -- I've taken to reading books set in places I'm planning to visit, and I've come to really enjoy that added level.
Have fun!
I loved browsing the craft galleries in Santa Fe on my one trip there.
I don't know whether it would be practical for you from a weather standpoint, but I enjoyed the drive to Taos on Route 76 (not the main highway) via Chimayo and Truchas. However, I was there in September, and it was already cool, even in Santa Fe. I suspect 76 would be dicey in the winter.
Downtown Santa Fe is very small and very walkable once you park your car right in the middle. Beware of the altitude - although the downtown area is very small, just walking up a few steps (like, literally, a couple of front steps to a store, restaurant, or hotel) can get you winded fast. The altitude wreaks havoc on your body in tandem with the desert dryness. If you're flying straight into Albuquerque or Santa Fe, drink lots of water and get lots of sleep to adjust. If your hotel can provide a humidifier, ask for that too.
If you've got lots of $$$, then try staying at and/or eating at the Inn of the Anasazi. One of the finest little hotels in the country as well as one of the best and most authentic Mexican restaurants Stateside. I stayed there once and mentioned having to work out after having a hearty meal at the restaurant and they promptly set up an exercise bike in my room.
Second barb's recommendation of the Coyote Cafe. If it's too pricey, they have a more casual outdoor rooftop bar area (hopefully heated in the winter?) directly adjacent to the main cafe that serves much more affordable, right-sized-portion food.
If price is an issue, then directly across the street from the Coyote Cafe is the Blue Corn Cafe, which is far more casual, very affordably priced, and has an extensive home-brewed beer menu. If you're with friends or family, try the sampler platter of 7-8 shot-sized glasses of their in-house beers, arranged from light to dark and accompanied with explanatory notes.
You really can't go wrong on food though - if you have Yelp on hand, randomly pick the highest-rated site for your price level and it should exceed expectations. Just beware that service in New Mexico is very slow.
Lots of beautiful galleries in downtown Santa Fe (very small and walkable), which I prefer window shopping at night; my favorite was the Chuck Jones Gallery of Bugs Bunny fame.
Another must-see is the Georgia O'Keeffe museum - very small but very comprehensive.
The state capitol is a short walk south of downtown, and it's fairly tiny, although unique in that it's a perfectly round structure. If I remember correctly, it's either the highest or 2nd highest (altitude) state capitol building in America.
I loved the drive between Albequerque and Santa Fe. We took the tram on Sandia Crest and loved the view. Would love to go back some day. New Mexico is a beautiful state, IMHO.
When did the Georgia O'Keefe Museum open? That would be neat to visit.
Thanks for the ideas. I knew about the Georgia O'Keeffe museum, didn't know about Chuck Jones tho and me a Bugs Bunny Fan.
I was in NM Sante Fe/Albequerque years ago, and I always said I'd go back and spend more time.
Doing the galleries downtown is a must, Bandolier Park, etc, the Turquoise Trail.......
If you like archaeology and have time, schedule a trip over to Chaco Canyon. Winter is a perfect time because it isn't roasting. Chaco is a World Heritage site and is absolutely amazing. It's best if you have a week or more, but you can get a scope of the site in a day trip. You'll need a car.

Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
Blue Corn Cafe sells Indian tacos.
Just thought I'd mention that
Even better is to buy fry bread from a roadside vendor.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
The Taos Pueblo isn't far and well worth a visit, as is the town of Taos.
I 2nd Chaco Canyon though have a sturdy car because IIRC, it is unpaved roads part of the way in. My other addition is one of the spas around Santa Fe. I did an afternoon at 10,000 Waves, which I recommend if you like the frou frou treatment once in awhile.
What would Jenny do?

It is, but unless it's raining heavily or snowing, they are in good shape. You do have to watch out for wandering cows, but PatC is from the prairies and would be used to both.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
Chaco Canyon would be something we'd like to see. Yep, cows and unpaved roads we can handle.
I second the notion about altitude. I live in Calgary, which is at over 3000 ft, just about passed out walking in the hills of NM during a photo shoot near Santa Fe. I managed fine in Colorado Springs last April, but I think the heat made an impact when I was in Santa Fe as it was in July.
The Georgia O'Keeffe museum is fantastic. I also had a great time checking out the art galleries on Canyon Road. There are a number of amazing churches in Santa Fe too, including the oldest church in the US IIRC. Even if you're not religious, they are worth checking out for the architecture and the history.
I stayed at a Park Inn that was a little ways out, but transit was a breeze. There were busses that went directly to the core at scheduled times each day. Once downtown, I walked everywhere.
I wish I'd had more time to head out to Taos, and just see more of the countryside in general. I had a rental car for one day to drive to El Rancho de las Golondrinas, which was also excellent. I was there for an early morning (5 am!) photo shoot, when the venue was closed. But they do tours during the day that looked quite interesting.
I second the Taos Pueblo. Please check the rules/regulations though before visiting. You must pay to take your camera in and be allowed to take pictures.
The best vintage store is Double Take in downtown Santa Fe. DEFINITELY worth a visit. One side has some very nice vintage clothes, purses, designer vintage, etc and the other has a HUGE HUGE HUGE selection of vintage boots and western wear. It is definitely worth a walk through even if you don't buy. (320 Aztec St)
My family and I stayed at the Buffalo Thunder resort. The rooms were very nice and the casino was fun. (http://www.buffalothunderresort.com/)
All the mexican food is A+. I love the mexican food in Santa Fe and Colorado . It's so delicious, I think it may be better than the Tex Mex from home. One restaurant we ate at was Tomasita's and it was really good. They have the best green chile (apparently they are well known for it). I recommend it (500 S Guadalupe St).
My great grandfather used to work for Georgia when she was in Taos. He would carry her easel and paint for her and assisted her around the home. Bytch was cheap and would sometimes "pay" him in the form of sketches and paintings. Appropriately he'd use such gifts as fire starter and installation for his home.
I never particularly cared for her art work myself. I find the story worth more to be frank.
Thanks for all the suggestions people.
We're in Los Alamos right now, deciding if we can make the run to Chaco Canyon. We've been told that there was a flash flood back in Nov. and the road is even worse than usual. Not that we couldn't handle it, it's the amount of time I guess it's taking to get there right now. So, we'll think about it, but it's probably not going to happen and that's too bad. We ate at a place called the Hills Diner, which is a take on an old fashioned diner. The burgers were great, way too much food. And it makes it's own desserts which looked very good as I watched a few of them being served. (Texas funeral cake and banana cream pie). Good food.
But we have made it to Taos, Bandelier Canyon, all of the places in Santa Fe. Loved La Fonda and the Loretto hotel and church, plus seeing Saint Francis is pretty amazing.
Did go to the Chuck Jones gallery, Georgia O'Keefe, etc.
We've been a lot of places in NA, still many more to go, but have loved the landscape of NM, the people and the hospitality. I'd visit NM again. My only beef is one that I also have with any mountainous area, dayum it is dry. I'm always waking up about 3 in the morning thirsting to death. Oh well......
Pat, do think hard about seeing Chaco. It's like nothing else you've seen.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.

The 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill passed Friday by the U.S. House of Representatives includes funding to accelerate chemical weapons disposal at the Blue Grass Army Depot.
The bill now lies in the hands of the senate.
Last month, the Kentucky Citizens Advisory Board (CDCAB) was told that increased funding would cut six years off the completion date, changing the destruction deadline from 2027 to 2021.
"This is a giant step toward finalizing the increased funding to accelerate disposal here in Kentucky," said Craig Williams, director of the Berea-based Chemical Weapons Working Group.
"There are still several steps to go, but this is a critical one and we applaud Congressman Chandler's effort to ensure that this occurred in the House of Representatives. This is a very important part of that concerted effort."
The House Bill matched the Pentagon's request for increased funds in 2010 for the destruction projects at these two sites.
Historically this program — the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives program (ACWA) — has been woefully under-funded resulting in a reduced capability to destroy the weapons.
"I've noticed a very positive improvement in the morale of the ACWA team and the contractors in light of the sustained movement toward adequate monies being put forth for this project," Williams said. "It's difficult to maintain a positive attitude when you're given significantly less than the amount of resources necessary to execute the program. That is turning around and that's good for the community."
Representative Ben Chandler (D-KY 6th District), has led the effort in the House to stabilize the funding for the disposal program, and this vote was a major step in accomplishing that objective, Williams said.
"I am so pleased that the House fulfilled the president's request and was able to give the Blue Grass Army Depot the resources it needs to destroy these weapons in a safe, timely way for our Central Kentucky communities," Chandler said.
Madison County Judge/Executive Kent Clark, who also is a member of the CDCAB, said he was grateful for all the help legislative representatives have given toward the chemical weapons destruction project.
"Representative Chandler is to be commended for his efforts and, with Senator (Mitch) McConnell achieving the same objectives in the Senate. We are feeling pretty good right now," Clark said.
The appropriation bill also includes funding that if passed by the senate, will accelerate the destruction of chemical weapons being stored in Pueblo, Colo., changing the deadline from 2020 to 2017.
"With Representative Chandler's diligence and leadership, we are closer to getting the level of support we need here in Kentucky and in Colorado to move forward aggressively," Williams said.

Success Grows Here

Visiting Greenstreet Gardens during this time of year is a family outing not to be missed.

The 2014 Living Legends Nominees
Posted on | February 11, 2014 | No Comments
Following are the 26 nominees for the 2014 Living Legends of Alexandria. Click here to view photographs of each nominee courtesy of Nina Tisara/Living Legends of Alexandria.
Mike Anderson's philanthropic contributions to the community date back to the 1980s when his Shooter McGee's "Alexandria Autumn 10K" raised more than $50,000 for Special Olympics. Today, in an innovative partnership with ACT for Alexandria, Anderson gives back to more than 75 local nonprofits by donating 25 cents for every burger sold at Holy Cow restaurant.
Char McCargo Bah has a passion for African American history and genealogy, most particularly in Alexandria. She had a pivotal role in the publication of African Americans of Alexandria, Virginia – Beacons of Light in the Twentieth Century, which she co-authored with four other volunteers.
Rose Berler served on the board of directors of the Alexandria Hospital Corporation from 1978-86, continuing her affiliation from 1986-97 with what became the Alexandria Health Services Corporation. The first woman appointed to the Alexandria Redevelopment Housing Authority, she served as vice chair from 1974-79 and as chair from 1979-83.
As a result of Glenn Eugster's efforts, Fort Ward Park is a better and more esthetically attractive site. The maintenance and horticulture facilities are gone, more than 60 unmarked graves and numerous cultural artifacts have been identified and a formalized commitment to a park management process is in place.
One of his many philanthropic activities, Lee Fifer joined the board of the Carpenter's Shelter in 1994 when it was on the verge of going out of business. His first assignment was to lead a fundraising effort where, with the help of many others, he raised $600,000 in six months. He chaired the board for ten years and still serves to this day.
At the same time that he was building his own business, the Snack Bar Restaurant, Charles "Tony" Gee was encouraging other local businesses to get started and to grow. While at his King Street location, he helped organize 84 Alexandria business owners and became the founding president of the Old Town Business Association.
Richard (Rick) Glassco has served as treasurer of ALIVE! (Alexandrians Involved Ecumenically) for 23 years. Since its founding in 1969, ALIVE! has grown from an all-volunteer organization to one with volunteers from 40 faith communities, approximately 14 employees and a 1.3 million dollar budget.
Gila S. Harris' volunteer work swung into high gear the year she retired in 1994 when the City Council appointed her to the Equal Opportunity Commission, Alexandria's official anti-poverty agency. Harris is the longest serving member, having been there 19 years. At the same time, she became a significant fundraiser for the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria.
For over 30 years, Ramona K. Hatten has been involved in community service in Alexandria. She was an Alexandria Redevelopment Housing Authority (ARHA) commissioner from 1982 to 1990, and instrumental in the formation of the Alexandria Resident Council (ARC) to assure public housing resident input into ARHA decisions affecting them.
Wayne Hulehan has been active in civic affairs since moving to Alexandria in 1971, receiving the Tommy Thompson Award for lifetime service to Boy Scouts of the National Capital Area. Many of his charitable causes are related to the fight to cure cancer.
A member of the Alexandria Commission for Women from 1997 to 2013, Susan B. Kellom now serves on the board of the Friends of the Alexandria Commission for Women. She served on the Alexandria Youth Policy Commission from 1997 to 2003 and as a member of the Alexandria Human Rights Commission from 1985 to 1997, including two terms as chair.
As Music Director of the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra for 25 years, Kim Allen Kluge contributes to the rich cultural fabric of Alexandria through his outstanding artistic leadership and a strong connection to the local community. Passionate about music education, in 2003, he founded the Children's Arts Festival.
Perhaps best known for her tenure on the Alexandria school board during 2002-03 and 2003-06 (when she became the first minority women to serve as vice chair), Gwendolyn Hubbard Lewis was widely admired for her ability to steer the board through critical educational and personnel issues.
A passionate "boater," Lorraine Lloyd wanted to showcase Alexandria's waterfront and seaport history. In 2000, she volunteered to create and organize Alexandria's first "Parade of Lights" boat parade. Today's Parade of Lights is one of Alexandria's holiday hallmarks and has attracted regional and national media.
Gregory L. (Gregg) Murphy led the merger of Alexandria Hospital into the INOVA Healthcare System. This merger gave Alexandria Hospital the financial stability to fund a new cancer center, a cardiac rehabilitation facility, and an $80 million expansion of the out-patient surgery center and the Emergency Department, which now serves nearly double the 50,000 patients it accommodated annually in the 1990s.
Since 32 years ago when Gary Oelze opened The Birchmere in Arlandria, it has been at the center of business activity in the area. For the past 11 years, Oelze and the Birchmere have hosted the Carpenter's Shelter Cook-Off.
Frederic "Fred" Parker was ahead of his time when he and his brother, Jim, founded the Hard Times Café in 1980 on upper King Street. It now serves as an anchor for what has become a very vibrant area of Old Town and draws chili lovers nationally and internationally.
Known best for revitalizing the Del Ray business community with her business partner Scott Mitchell, through the establishment of St. Elmo's Coffee Pub, Nora Partlow is often thought of as the "Mayor" of Del Ray. Besides making St. Elmo's a community gathering place, Partlow mentors her young employees and showcases and promotes local artists and musicians.
James S. (Jim) Roberts has been an indefatigable advocate for children's literacy since 1996 when he joined with other members of Alexandria's faith-based communities to create the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium. Roberts was instrumental in seeing that children who struggled to master basic reading skills were matched with caring, competent volunteer tutors. He has served as treasurer and president of the board, a position he still holds.
For over 30 years, Tricia Rodgers has been a volunteer with programs that help to improve the lives of Alexandrians. For the past three years, Rodgers has served as co-chair, and now chair, of the Alexandria Childhood Obesity Action Network (A-COAN), a group whose mission is to reduce the number of Alexandria children who are overweight and obese.
James B. (Jim) Singerling's civic involvement in Alexandria has included serving on the board of the Alexandria Convention and Visitors Association and two terms on the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce board. He's served on the board of First Night Alexandria and held all officers' chairs on the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra Board, where he is now a trustee emeritus.
Jodie Smolik, director of the Winkler Preserve, helped save the 44.5-acre sanctuary and living classroom from destruction. Working around the Thanksgiving holiday, Smolik rallied the school community, parents and children, to come out in force against the city council's plan to approve a proposed ramp off I-395, which would have destroyed a third of the preserve.
Shirley N. Tyler worked to bring about what became the Four Mile Run Flood Control Project by the US Army Corp of Engineers. She was appointed to the Alexandria School Board in 1973 and, from 1980 to 1982, served as the first African American female chairperson. She was instrumental in creating racial harmony during the redistricting of Alexandria City Public Schools.
Converse (Connie) West successfully completed certification courses offered at the Alexandria Police Academy and now regularly gives eight hours a week. He has logged over 5,200 volunteer hours of service with the Alexandria Police Department, the equivalent of nearly three full-time years.
A veteran of World War II and a 34-year career with the CIA, William (Bill) Willis began volunteering at Carpenter's Shelter in 1981 and continues to do so today at age 90. In 1981, he also began volunteer service with ALIVE! and served as its president in 1984-85.
Donnan (Donnie) Chancellor Wintermute's philanthropic achievements have had a major impact on the quality of life in Alexandria. Along with currently serving as vice president of the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra board of trustees, she was the 2013 honorary chair for The Historic Alexandria Homes Tour sponsored by Twig, the Junior Auxiliary of Inova Alexandria Hospital.

Hank's Oyster Bar Expanded
Posted on | December 13, 2013 | No Comments
In early December, Hank's Oyster Bar closed to undergo an expansion project that increased the size of the popular Old Town eatery to include 1026 King Street as well as 1024. In June 2012, the Alexandria City Council approved plans for the project, which consisted of the addition of 29 bar-style seats and service facilities on the first floor with storage, refrigeration and office space in the basement. The restaurant now offers a total of 89 seats.

"All three became psychotic, all three had superhuman strength and felt no pain," he told Burnett.
"The reason they take off their clothes is that their body temperature goes through the roof," Aguilar tells me. "By this point, their internal organs are about to explode from the inside out."
The two other incidents Aguilar was referring to happened in March, when 23-year-old Evan Oberfelder assaulted police officers after being hit by a cab while walking partially naked along Bayshore Drive, and in April, when 21-year-old George Salgado of West Miami died in police custody after cops tasered him to prevent him from biting someone's neck. Oberfelder reportedly admitted to using LSD; Salgado's friend revealed that Salgado had also been tripping on acid. "George Salgado was not taking bath salts," says Salgado family lawyer Jeffrey Norkin. "It was garden-variety blotter acid with a picture of SpongeBob on it."
Reporters didn't seem to care that Aguilar had no expertise in the pharmacological action of drugs on the human brain or that he didn't provide a scintilla of credible evidence that bath salts were involved in any of these cases. Horror stories about intoxicants have been a staple of American reporting since the temperance crusades, but this one was the mother of all drug-scare stories. It was too good for journalists to fact-check.
Before long, the events of May 26 spawned what seemed to be copycat incidents, further fueling the bath salts frenzy. On June 2 police arrested a 21-year-old homeless man for disorderly conduct at a fast-food restaurant in North Miami Beach. On the way to the station, he threatened officers, "I'm going to eat you." Police found an empty packet of Cloud 9 bath salts on the man, and hospital blood tests revealed the presence of Xanax, marijuana and alcohol.
That same weekend in Louisiana a 43- year-old man assaulted his ex-wife's husband and bit off a chunk of his face. A friend of the victim told police that she thought the attacker might have been using bath salts. The police admitted they couldn't be sure because a test was never performed.
Ten days later a 35-year-old woman ran naked through the streets of Munnsville, New York. She supposedly growled at state troopers, and when she tried to bite one, she was tasered and died of a heart attack. State police suspected the dead woman of using bath salts.
As the latest in a long line of chemical bogeymen, bath salts became a general category on which the police could pin all the ills of drug abuse. Meanwhile, the internet fanned public paranoia as users of social media sites jokingly linked Rudy Eugene to an impending "zombie apocalypse."
The case tapped into the current cultural fascination with zombies, evidenced by so-called zombie walks and the success of the TV show The Walking Dead. Add in the reality that Eugene had family roots in Haiti, where voodoo beliefs are deeply ingrained. A headline in the English-language newspaper Russia Today captured the over-the-top nature of the coverage: NEW "BATH SALTS" ZOMBIE-DRUG MAKES AMERICANS EAT EACH OTHER.
The panic continued to escalate, and ABC News ran a story headlined FACE-EATING ATTACK POSSIBLY PROMPTED BY "BATH SALTS," AUTHORITIES SUSPECT. I found it strange that journalists continued to insist that Rudy Eugene had been high on bath salts. No drug paraphernalia was found at the crime scene. The initial toxicology report didn't test for bath salts, and a more sophisticated test, which probes for a wider variety of drugs, would take upward of a month to complete.
To find out what all the fuss was about, I decided to try bath salts—or at least mephedrone, a common active ingredient in bath salts. Over an eight-hour period I snorted roughly half a gram—a fair-size dose—of the white powder, first in a Miami Beach nightclub and then again after I got home. At first, other than a tightness in my chest and a slight numbness in my limbs, I didn't feel anything. But then my central nervous system lit up and I became as buoyant as foam floating on the surface of a fast-moving river.
Colors became more vivid and music more distinct. It was as if I could reach out and caress the texture of the sound coming from the speakers. I felt energized yet strangely relaxed. The drug that mephedrone is most commonly compared to is ecstasy, and I definitely felt a sense of increased connectedness to the other partygoers. My wife, who refused to take bath salts, saw it differently. "If you want to fuck, let's go home and fuck, but stop stroking me," she said. "It's really irritating."
When the mephedrone started to wear off, I didn't experience a "fiending" phenomenon—the compulsive need to redose that can cause some "meph-heads" to get into trouble. But I did suffer a serotonin hangover: High-dose users report that depleted levels of the brain chemical can cause suicidal thoughts. I tried to eat a snack while I was coming down, but I couldn't force the food down my throat. You can't swallow a granola bar, let alone gnaw on a human face, while high on this drug, which makes the story of Rudy Eugene even more of a mystery.
The overall experience was disappointing. It's easy to understand why consumers would think bath salts are a decent enough alternative to ecstasy. What's not easy to understand is why anybody would think that such an uninspiring drug should be the target of a full-fledged moral panic. That's because, as far as drug warriors such as Armando Aguilar are concerned, the substance itself is beside the point. The real point is the panic.

Great read!
Dont any of you people reading get curious about becoming a zombie. Avoid Bath Salts. This is a public service announcement.
Marijuana is not safe either. His mental illness was likely caused by it. Drugs are often taken by or given to people who are already mentally ill. They make the illness worse one way or another. People who are not already seriously ill who take drugs become more ill than they were.
Excellent article, well written and factual. Pot may indeed trigger psychosis in the mentally unstable, but the bible he was carrying has caused far more harm than weed.
Excellent article, Playboy. Very well written. I remember thinking that the whole bath salts hysteria was total and utter bullshit. I'm glad to see Playboy not jumping on the whole bath- salts- cause- people- to- become- zombies train.
Awesome article.
I work in an E. R.., and have seen a big increase in pot psychosis. Producers are making it incredibly speedy and intense. Just stating my observations. I Don't see a lot of coke visits. Mainly alcohol and oxy.

The lawyer for convicted killer Julia Phillips on Friday withdrew her appeal of an eviction order from her former home, canceling what would have been a Monday courthouse reunion with her son. The 68-year-old woman is serving life in prison for the 2010 strangling death of former York Mayor Melvin Roberts; the son, serving seven years for felony drug and fraud charges, was a suspect in the slaying.
Phillips lawyer, Charles Marchbanks Jr., said he decided to withdraw the appeal of a 2010 probate court temporary injunction that evicted Phillips and her son from the home of her late husband, Bryant Phillips. But that doesnt mean Phillips is giving up her claims to the life estate under her late husbands will despite being in prison for life, Marchbanks said.
We have never had a trial in the case this was just an appeal of an injunction, Marchbanks said.
Both Brandy McBee, Cherokee County clerk of court, and David Massey, the lawyer for Phillips stepdaughters who sued to have Phillips and her son evicted, confirmed the cancellation. No date has been set for a trial to determine Phillips claims to the house owned by her late husband, Bryant, who died in 1999.
Phillips, 68, who abused narcotic prescription drugs and spent thousands of dollars on illegal pills, was convicted last month of murder for her role of plotting to have her longtime boyfriend Roberts killed before he could change his will, throw her out of his house, and cut off her money supply. She was sentenced to life without parole, despite law enforcement admitting that the person or people she worked with in the killing has never been caught.
Roberts, 79, a lawyer for 55 years, was beaten over the head, shot at, then strangled with a zip tie outside his York home on Feb. 4, 2010. Phillips, who lived with Roberts for 10 years, claimed she was a victim that night, but she was arrested for plotting the crime after police said her story of being robbed and tied up was bogus.
Nothing this awful woman does surprises me anymore, so her trying stunts even from prison is just another of the terrible things she has done, said Ronnie Roberts, one of Melvin Roberts sons.
Phillips son, William Hunter Stephens, 50, pleaded guilty in March to drug and fraud charges after more than a decade of stealing the identity of family members for narcotics, utilities, cable TV and more. He is serving a seven-year sentence. Stephens was arrested in January 2012. But before pleading guilty, he admitted he was a suspect in the Roberts slaying when he claimed his arrest was caused by police trying to question him further in the death.
Phillips is still scheduled to be in court Nov. 12 to face allegations of probation violation. Phillips pleaded guilty in 2011 to stealing $2,000 in rent from Melvin Roberts. She was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay restitution. She allegedly is now $900 in arrears and probation officials plan to ask a judge Nov. 12 that the arrears be turned into a civil judgment against Phillips, said Pete OBoyle, spokesman for the S.C. Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle will be renewing an old rivalry in Saturday's contest against Kansas State.
Randle, who grew up in Wichita, Kan., is familiar several of the Wildcats on K-State's roster and said he is looking forward to see them in action first hand.
"There's a lot of guys that I kind of new from back home and then around the state you kind of know who the best players are and you may run into them once or twice," Randle said. "I know guys like (wide receiver) Chris Harper very well and (running back) DeMarcus Robinson (both of which went to Wichita Northwest). So there's a bunch of guys on their team that I know."
There is one Kansas State player Randle is all too familiar with - linebacker Arthur Brown, K-State's leading tackler. Brown went to high school at Wichita East, while Randle was playing for Wichita Southeast.
"Arthur Brown is a friend of mine and he's a guy who can play football," Randle said.
Randle gave some insight into Brown, and the fact that the All-Big 12 First Team linebacker and preseason All-American isn't much of a trash talker.
"That's not even his style. He's the type that will knock you down then try to help you up," Randle said. "He definitely doesn't do much trash talking."
Randle and Brown actually went to Bristol, Conn., together to tour the ESPN Campus prior to the season to showcase some of the Big 12 talent.
"We had a good time with that," Randle said. "That was fun."

Zoology, Division of Insects, Arachnids and Myriapods
Insects, Arachnids, and Myriapods
The Division of Insects is the largest of the Zoology Department's six divisions, covering insects, arachnids (spiders and their relatives), and myriapods (millipedes, centipedes and their relatives). Our curators and collection management staff work together closely to maintain a world-class collection of more than 12 million specimens, over half the Museum's holdings.
The curators have active research programs, working with specimens from around the world, and actively build and curate collections, train graduate and undergraduate students, develop exhibits and other public programs, and serve the diverse needs of the public and scientific communities. Members of the professional staff build, maintain, and improve the collections and associated collection database and participate actively in exhibit development, public programs, and other outreach activities. Volunteers in Insects help with many aspects of collection management and research, including sorting new samples and identifying specimens; entering specimen or loan data into our database; organizing and caring for parts of the collection, and photographing specimens.
Our Collections
The Division of Insects holds worldwide collections of Arthropoda (excluding Crustacea) ranking fifth in size among North American collections, with major strengths in beetles, butterflies and moths, ectoparasites (bat flies, sucking lice, fleas, ticks, parasitic mites), ants, spiders and millipedes.

Neutral scrambling experiments
For our project investigating the phenomenon of neutral scrambling in Dutch and German we will be running four experiments: two for Dutch and two for English. The first set of two experiments is now underway and if you are a native speaker of Dutch or German, we would like to invite you to participate.
Experiment set 1: details of the study
This study forms part of a research project under the supervision of Dr Hans van de Koot in the Linguistics Department of the UCL Division of Psychology and Language Sciences which looks at how people process language. The study will record reaction times to words while listening to sentences. Specifically, it addresses the question of how adults (namely native speakers of Dutch and native speakers of German) process sentences in a given discourse. You will be asked to decide whether a word that appears briefly on a screen is a real word or not whilst listening to some sentences. For this reaction time experiment, you will need to respond as quickly and as accurately as you can.
In a separate task, you will be asked to read very short stories and you will judge whether the sentence that follows the particular story matches. For the judgement task, there are no right or wrong answers – we just want to know what you think.
Possible risks and benefits
During the reaction time experiment the word you see on the screen will appear very briefly before disappearing. As such, if you have photosensitive epilepsy you should not take part in this experiment.
The testing session will take approximately 1 hour (including breaks). Participants are free to withdraw from the experiment at any time. Once you have completed the experiment you will be paid £10 for your help.
If your mother tongue is Dutch or German and you are interested in participating in our experiment, then please contact either Dr. Renita Silva (email@example.com) for the Dutch experiment or Dr. Mikako Sato (firstname.lastname@example.com) for the German experiment.
Many thanks for your interest in our work!
