A situation in south Fargo got dangerous last night as three bullets were fired at a home in the Country Side Mobile Home Park. Two homes were pierced with bullets but fortunately no one was injured. But that doesn't have neighbors feeling any sense of comfort. Valley News team's Eric Crest visited with folks in that area to find out what's happening to their neighborhood.
For people living in the south Fargo neighborhood crime and even gun play has unfortunately become part of the norm.
"I've lived in some places that were not particularly safe but I have never experienced things I've experienced here," says Adlel Bremnan a resident of the County Side Trailer Court.
"I mean it's pretty bad. There's fights and violence and drugs going through from what I hear," says another resident, Justin Luth.
"It scared me when I came home last night cause I thought what the... what is going on," says one more resident of the park, Rick Olson.
What was going on was gun shots, three quick ones.
"My husband thought they were fire crackers," says Bremnan.
Two of the bullets struck homes.
"I mean there's little kids in here too," says Olson.
Whether it was the intended target or not is unknown. But one bullet passed right through one home and into another. "These trailers ain't very thick either. I mean puff puff they can go right through," adds Olson.
Neighbors we spoke to wish all of the criminal commotion, which includes a shooting back in May would just stop. "Whether people like me or not I have to live here. I couldn't even go outside in my own neighborhood last night. I wasn't even supposed to be in my yard for awhile," says Bremnan.
"This ain't the first time... this is not the first time," adds Olson.
"When you can't afford anything else this is the best you can have. I own what I own," says Luth.
But until it does slow down, the people of the south Fargo neighborhood are going to do what they always have and let neighbors know they're looking out for them and hope others will do the same.
"I think if they see something they should not be afraid to talk to each other or call the police," says Bremnan.
"We can't have shootings going on! It sounds like Chicago or something," says Olson.
Police don't know if whoever fired the three rounds at that home was on foot or in a car. They tell us at this point there isn't a lot of information to go on. If you have any details that could help them solve this crime please contact the Fargo Police.
Fargo Police are investigating after neighbors heard several gunshots on Tuesday night in the area of 8th Avenue and 23rd Street South -- that's the Countryside Trailer Park neighborhood in Fargo. Officers found that shots had been fired into a number of homes, but no one inside was hurt.The area had been blocked off during the investigation, but officers cleared the scene early Wednesday morning. Police also tell Valley News Live that officers later scrambled to a number of city parks after hearing a big fight might be starting -- possibly in retaliation for the shootings -- but police did not find any trouble.

January 2011
- This Month from the National Dissemination Center
- It All Starts…in Families…and Communities
- The Little Ones: Early Intervention/Early Childhood
- Schools, K-12
- State & System Tools
- Special Focus: Let's Have a Great Year!
Wow, it's a new year. Happy 2011 to all! Here we go!
NICHCY looks forward to this new year on our plate and to bringing you news every month to help you address disability concerns in your life and work. Our special focus for this month Let's Have a Great Year, with resources that will hopefully help you have just that!
There are many great resources coming from OSEP's TA&D Network (these are marked with the TA&D logo you see to the left) and from organizations beyond the network. May these help you and yours, personally and professionally, now or when the holiday tempest has passed.
We welcome your feedback. Please feel free to contact us at email@example.com.
Our best to you, as always.
Your friends
at the National Dissemination Center
for Children with Disabilities
This month, we're pleased to offer three updated resources on our website. The first two come from our Families and Community corner, and the third from "Help Babies (0 to 3)."
Resources Especially for Child Care Providers and Preschools.
Quite often, child care providers and preschool teachers play a key role in recognizing that a child may need special help. They can also connect families with the systems of that help that address children's developmental and disability-related needs. This page is dedicated to helping child care providers and preschool staff do just that.
Resources Especially for Employers.
Here are 10 premier sources of deep and detailed information on employing people with disabilities: How to, why to, and the nuts-and-bolts of…
Transition to Preschool.
Services under early intervention end when a child turns three, so planning for the transition to preschool is very important if the child needs continued support.
January is National Mentoring Month.
Time to focus on how mentoring benefits the child, adult, and society as a whole. Visit the National Mentoring Month website for tools, videos, and "10 Things to Do in January," a list to jumpstart your thinking about getting involved and honoring the occasion.
Involve students with disabilities.
The Corporation for National and Community Service offers this list of resources and links to methods for including people with disabilities in national service programs, including accessibility assessments, mentoring, special education students as camp counselors and many other ideas.
CORE of a good life.
This resource gives parents "guided conversations" on raising young children with disabilities. What's the CORE? Community…connections and participation. Opportunities…to explore and pursue our interests. Reciprocity…in our relationships. Enjoyment…in our lives.
Make a difference for children with disabilities: A guide to serving on a county family support advisory committee.
This booklet is designed to help families better understand the important role they play in shaping their local Family Support Programs and how they can become more effective participants and have their voice heard both locally and statewide.
http://www.waisman.wisc.edu/wrc/pub.html#Make A Difference for Children with Disabilities:
Find local resources when your child struggles to learn.
As you start your search for information about learning and attention problems, start by looking close to home.
Don't forget NICHCY's State Resource Sheets!
Lots of help identified here, which can also connect you with the local level.

10 most popular Parenting Special Needs articles.
What were parents of children with special needs most interested in over the past year at the Parenting Special Needs' website? 504 plans, behavior plans, and credit-card-free iTunes accounts…
Compendium of community inclusion initiatives for people with psychiatric disabilities.
The Compendium is based on a national survey of consumer-run programs assisting consumers in reconnecting to their communities, to existing residential and vocational resources, religious and recreational organizations, civic and volunteer opportunities beyond those of mental health systems. Both consumer-run programs and more traditional mental health agencies will find examples of innovative ways to assist consumers in working with the community.
Serving consumers with psychiatric disabilities: Common sense accommodations and strategies.
This resource guide provides helpful strategies for people who work with individuals with psychiatric disabilities in centers for independent living and other consumer-oriented agencies.
Mental health legislation | What's on the agenda for the 112th Congress?
With respect to legislation of interest to advocates and people with mental illnesses, what was done by the 111th Congress prior to adjourning for the holidays, and what's still on the plate for the 112th? Find out, courtesy of the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law.
Resource in Spanish | Helping people transition from hospital care to home.
Guía Para La Transicion de Cuidados is written to help Spanish-speaking support care providers in the community help people make the transition from prolonged care in hospitals or other care centers back to home care. Great checklists!
Annotated bibliography of early intervention websites.
Impact of cultural diversity on service delivery in natural environments.
Research indicates that families are essential to the success of early intervention services. However, the family is strongly influenced by culture. This article explores the literature related to natural environments, family-centered practices, and the influence of cultural diversity as it relates to service provision in early intervention in an attempt to link the research to practices that promote appropriate and effective early intervention services.
Is it time to start planning ahead for upcoming transitions?
Early intervention services help children with disabilities and delays until their 3rd birthday. Then children move on to special education services for preschoolers… even as many preschoolers move on to kindergarten. Here are two resources for those of you who have such transitions on the horizon in the next few months.
Early intervention to preschool
Preschool to kindergarten
Head Start's impact.
Head Start is a federal program aimed at boosting the school readiness of low-income children by providing preschool education and health and nutrition services. Read the What Works Clearinghouse's "quick review" of the Head Start Impact Study: Final Report, which examined the effects of offering Head Start to 3- and 4-year-olds.
Addressing challenging behavior | A national training institute.
March 30-April 2, 2011, in Clearwater, FL
An astounding number of heavy hitters in early childhood and social emotional development are teaming together to offer this training institute.
Teaching tools for addressing challenging behavior.
Teaching Tools are designed to provide easily accessible ideas and materials so that you can support children in the classroom and other learning environments. The tools will provide you and other teachers with practical strategies known to be successful in helping young children with problem behavior.
The Part C and Preschool national picture: What NECTAC learned from reviewing APR Indicators.
APR indicators give OSEP, states, and communities a measure of how well systems are addressing the needs of young children with disabilities and improving their outcomes. The National Early Childhood TAC reviewed what states have reported to OSEP… and reports back to all those interested in "what they learned." Thanks, NECTAC, for this webinar series.
And quality indicators in your neck of the woods and beyond.
"Quality Indicators of Inclusive Programs/Practices: A Compilation of Selected Resources" lets you connect with many different resources in one place, which allows for easy comparison of potential indicators of quality. National and state-developed resources are contained within this September 2010 document.
3-minute motivators.

DOE Memo to state leaders on state bullying laws and policies.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan recently disseminated a memo to state leaders highlighting key components of strong state bullying laws and policies. The memo divides existing state laws into 11 different categories, such as enforcement, training, and definitions of bullying behaviors.
Three from NCEO.
NCEO is the National Center on Educational Outcomes, an OSEP-funded project. NCEO's published three syntheses that state leaders may be very interested in…
Computer-based testing: Practices and considerations.
Synthesis Report 78 report explores the context of computer-based testing (CBT), current state computer-based tests, and considerations for students with disabilities. CBT has emerged as one of the recent "innovative" approaches to assessments most pursued by states. It's viewed as providing cheaper and speedier test delivery for state and district-wide assessments…and as an avenue toward greater accessibility for students with disabilities.
Science assessments for students with disabilities: What we know about participation, performance, and accommodations.
Synthesis Report 77 documents the inclusion of students with disabilities in state science assessments in 2006-2007, the period just before the required implementation of statewide science assessments.
2009 survey of states: Accomplishments and new issues at the end of a decade of change.
This report provides a snapshot of the new initiatives, trends, accomplishments, and emerging issues during this important period of standards-based education reform as states document the academic achievement of students with disabilities.Results are presented for all 50 states and 8 of the 11 federally-funded entities (unique states).
Building systems of care: A primer for child welfare.
This primer is a companion document to Primer Hands On-Child Welfare, a web-based training resource for leaders involved in building systems of care for children, youth and families involved, or at risk for involvement, in the child welfare system.
Developing a guidance document on RTI?
The National Center on Response to Intervention has released a new Guidance Document Development Tool based on lessons learned from working with states to develop guidance documents on response to intervention. Developing an RTI Guidance Document aims to assist states, districts, and schools in the process of creating guidance documents. Included in the tool are frequently asked questions about guidance documents and a template to help states, districts, and schools develop their own documents.

Relaxation exercises.
Early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) is emerging as an effective strategy for supporting young children's social and emotional development and addressing challenging behaviors in early care and education settings. The ECMHC team at Georgetown University has recorded a series of relaxation exercises in English and Spanish. These exercises are designed for use by families and Early Head Start and Head Start staff to help you reduce your stress. The team's hope is that after listening to one or more of these recordings, families and staff will return to their daily activities feeling refreshed and re-energized. Enjoy! http://www.ecmhc.org/relaxation_exercises.html

One of Christchurch's main one-way streets will reopen fully on Sunday.
The section of Madras Street between Tuam Street and Latimer Square will be opened to traffic from 3.30pm. This is the first time the section of the road has been open since the magnitude 6.3 earthquake on February 11, 2011 struck the city. A diversion has been in place until now.
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority chief executive Roger Sutton and Mayor Bob Parker will cycle from Latimer Square to the Tuam Street corner before declaring the road open.
Damage to roads has made travel difficult in parts of the city since the earthquakes.

XM WX for iPad Gets Green Light
Pilots who use Apple's iPad tablet computer have been lusting for one additional bit of functionality, in-flight weather data. Baron Services, the company that provides XM WX services, is about to fulfill those wishes with its iPad Mobile Link, a $199.99 gadget (introductory price) that lets compatible iPad apps display XM WX while airborne. Baron's Mobile Link will be available late in the second quarter this year. The company hasn't revealed subscription prices for XM WX via Mobile Link, but did detail weather products that will be initially offered, including Nexrad radar, satellite imagery, Metars, Tafs, TFRs, winds aloft, Airmets and Sigmets. Garmin was the first to announce a Mobile Link-compatible iPad app, Pilot My-Cast, and according to Baron Services, other companies are working on mobile device apps that will work with Mobile Link, including FlightPrep, Hilton Software and Foreflight. Baron expects developers to make Mobile Link work with operating systems for non-Apple mobile devices; next up will be the Android operating system. Pilots will need to buy the Mobile Link device plus an XM antenna and receiver to access XM WX products on mobile devices.

Unlimited color possibilities!
I am a huge fan of color. I love to mix and match and get some lovely and unique color combinations. My favorite is to dye Bare Roving and Yarn using the Jacquard Acid Dyes – there are so many colors to choose from! There are also many methods to dyeing. I used the crock pot method for this blog.

And the big, blank wall above it was calling my name, asking for a new way to hold the girls' artwork.
Ikea to the rescue. On my first trip to the brand-spanking-new Denver Ikea last week, I picked up three of these Dignitet cable systems. They can be used to hold up curtains and who knows what else, but I'm using them to hold my kids' artwork.
The package didn't give me a whole lot of insight into how I would get it up on the wall.
And at first the typical drawing-only Ikea directions didn't, either. But eventually I figured it out.
In addition to what came in the package, I needed some wood screws to mount the system on the wall. If I were going into drywall, this would have been a major pain. I'm not a fan of drywall anchors (even the new, easy screw-in ones -- I never seem to be able to get them in exactly the right place). What can I say? Not so detail oriented, I guess.
And then screwed the left part of the cable system into the wall. The next few steps didn't get photographed since they happened at about one in the morning. Such is life as a mom, right? I had to abandon the project to pick up the kids from school and didn't get back to it until really late at night.
Here's the final product:
The artwork is held up by little metal clips that come with the cable system. Easy to change out, easy to re-arrange. Perfect for artwork.
Scott even replaced the broken hinges on the Pink Kitchen's cabinet door. I'm thinking this kitchen should be good for another year or two before we re-vamp the space as a computer lab/homework area. In the meantime, we'll enjoy the girls' artwork and the ease of updating it!

President Obama swooped into South Florida for a couple of hours on Friday to tout a tunnel project at PortMiami as a great example of how to rebuild the nation's infrastructure, create jobs and boost the economy.
Port officials from around the state were delighted, hoping the president's visit will raise their profile and improve chances that federal officials and Congress will provide funding to dredge their channels and allow them to handle more trade.
"While it's not my port, I am excited, not only for the Port of Palm Beach but for other seaports," said Manuel Almira, director of the Port of Palm Beach, a major exporter of sugar and molasses.
Gov. Rick Scott, while welcoming Obama's attention, was not so delighted on Friday that the president made no mention of helping Florida get reimbursed for money it has fronted for port expansion, including $75 million for the Miami tunnel.
"While we're happy to host the President, we hoped to hear a commitment to reimburse Florida taxpayers the millions of dollars the state invested for the federal portion of port projects in Miami and Jacksonville. We hope this reimbursement will be included in the President's budget proposal next week," Scott said.
"In the meantime we will not wait on Washington. We will continue to invest in Florida ports so we make Florida a top hub for international commerce. Florida taxpayers have already invested $425 million in our ports to take advantage of the benefits of growing international trade, and we'll continue making targeted port investments to grow jobs and opportunities for Florida families."
For Obama, the tunnel is a model for combining government money with private investment to create construction jobs.
Here's a rundown of the president's proposals, as described by the White House:
"Investing in infrastructure not only makes our roads, bridges, and ports safer and gives our businesses and workers the tools to compete successfully in the global economy, it also creates thousands of good American jobs that cannot be outsourced. Since the President took office four years ago, America has begun the hard work of rebuilding our infrastructure: American workers have improved over 350,000 miles of U.S. roads and more than 6,000 miles of rail, and they have repaired or replaced over 20,000 bridges. But there's more to do, and taxpayers shouldn't have to shoulder the entire burden themselves.
"We know that America works best when it's calling upon the resources and ingenuity of our vibrant private sector. That's why the President's plan calls for a Rebuild America Partnership to help attract the private capital that can go toward building the infrastructure our workers and businesses need most.
"By acting on the President's plan, together we can build an infrastructure that's second-to-none and prove that there is no better place to do business and create jobs than right here in the United States of America."
White House statement:
Partnering with the Private Sector to Create Jobs and Invest in the Projects We Need Most: The President is continuing to call for Congress to enact a National Infrastructure Bank capitalized with $10 billion, in order to leverage private and public capital and to invest in a broad range of infrastructure projects of national and regional significance, without earmarks or political influence.
Giving State and Local Governments Flexible New Tools to Invest in Infrastructure: The President's new America Fast Forward Bonds program will build upon the successful example of the Build America Bonds program, broadening its use to include the types of projects that can be financed with qualified private activity bonds while also making the combined program more flexible. In addition, the Administration is proposing changes to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) aimed at enhancing the attractiveness of investment in U.S. infrastructure and real estate to a broader universe of private investors.
Building the Transportation Network Our Businesses and Workers Need to Succeed: In addition to the sound implementation of TIFIA's recent eight-fold expansion, the Administration is also proposing $4 billion in new competitive funding for the innovative TIGER and TIFIA programs.
The President's Plan to Attract Private Infrastructure Investment
Through a "Rebuild America Partnership"
Despite progress over the last four years, too many construction workers remain out of work and too many of our nation's infrastructure needs remain unmet. The President's new "Rebuild America Partnership" will bring together an array of new and existing policies all aimed at enhancing the role of private capital in U.S. infrastructure investment as a vital additive to the traditional roles of Federal, State, and local governments, making American workers and businesses more competitive and putting more Americans back on the job:
Partnering with the Private Sector to Create Jobs and Invest in the Projects We Need Most. To leverage private and public capital for infrastructure projects showing the greatest merit, the President is continuing to call for the investment of $10 billion to create and capitalize an independent National Infrastructure Bank (NIB), based on a model that has won bipartisan support from the Senate in the past. Each dollar of Federal funding can leverage up to $20 in total infrastructure investment, mainly from partners in the private sector and State and local government. The National Infrastructure Bank's key provisions would include:
Independent, Non-Partisan Operations Led by Infrastructure and Financial Experts: While the NIB would be a government-owned entity, it would operate independently and would have a bipartisan board composed of individuals who possess significant expertise in the financing, development, or operation of infrastructure projects.

Steven Tyler Leaves American Idol: 'I Strayed From My First Love, Aerosmith'
Steven Tyler will not return as a judge on "American Idol."
"After some long… hard… thoughts… I've decided it's time for me to let go of my mistress 'American Idol' before she boils my rabbit," Tyler said in a statement released to Access Hollywood on Thursday. "I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I'm back – but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I've got two fists in the air and I'm kicking the door open with my band.
"The next few years are going to be dedicated to kicking some serious ass – the ultimate in auditory takeover," the statement continued. "On Nov. 6, we are unleashing our new album, 'Music from Another Dimension' on the Earth, Moon, Mars, and way beyond the stars…'Idol' was over-the-top fun, and I loved every minute of it…Now it's time to bring Rock Back."
"Idol" creator/executive producer Simon Fuller said he's sad to see Tyler go.
"Steven Tyler is a real 'Idol,' a rock legend. If you had told me 10 years ago he would be a judge on 'American Idol,' I would have thought it impossible," Fuller said. "The fact that this became a reality and we had the pleasure of him gracing our stage for two seasons makes me very proud. I completely understand his desire to get back to his life as the singer in America's greatest-ever rock band. 'American Idol' will miss him!"
And the rocker may not be the only star vacating their "AI" judges' seat – earlier on Thursday, Jennifer Lopez said she too was having doubts as to whether she'll return for the show's twelfth season.
"I have to say that there are so many other things that I do, and that I put on hold for ['Idol']. At the end of the day, whichever way, it's a heartbreaking decision if I'm going to have to go," the singer told Natalie Morales during an interview on the "Today" show.
"American Idol" returns to FOX in January 2013.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Nestle's
"Those are the rules of the game and I'm going to respect them," Brabeck, who turns 70 in November, told Swiss newspaper Le Temps.
"I will retire from Nestle in 2017 as planned", he said.
Nestle's board regulations require the terms of office for all board members to expire no later than at the annual shareholder meeting following the member's 72nd birthday.
Brabeck declined to comment on who would succeed him in the top job at the world's biggest food company.
"Thanks to our internal organization, anybody can be replaced within 24 hours if something happens," he said, adding there was no point in speculating at this stage on who would succeed him.

I have more than one admin for my buddypress group forums, and we restrict the ability to create groups only to administrators. Though I have found that users that I have set to the role of "Administrator" cannot create groups unless I set them to Super Admin for the entire network. Is this really the only way administrators can create groups in buddypress?

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Chip Kelly is learning the NFL rule book on the job.
The do-it-his-way coach didn't think he could use a timeout to allow a banged-up Michael Vick to stay in the game during an important moment in the Philadelphia Eagles' 33-30 loss to San Diego Chargers to Sunday.
Upon further review, Kelly realized he was wrong.
"That's on me. I didn't think we could," Kelly said Monday. "I should have asked. I think it's difficult for anybody to be familiar with any rule because the rule book is so thick."
Vick got up slowly after taking a hard hit on an incomplete pass on first down from the Chargers 14. A referee told him he had to sit out one play. Nick Foles entered and threw a pass out of bounds in the end zone. Vick returned and misfired on third down, forcing the Eagles to settle for a tying field goal with 1:55 remaining.
If Kelly called the timeout, Vick could've stayed in and perhaps the second-down play would've turned out different.
"I've made mistakes," Kelly said. "I think we've all made mistakes. That's what this game is all about. No one coaches a perfect game. No one plays a perfect game. But you've got to learn from those mistakes and hope they don't happen again."
The other issue on that drive was Kelly's clock management. He gave the Chargers too much time to win it. The Eagles were down 30-27 when they got ball at their 29 with 3:05 left. Vick quickly led them to the Chargers 14 in just 56 seconds.
The offense continued running the hurry-up, and it didn't help that three straight incomplete passes used up a total of 14 seconds.
After Alex Henery's field goal tied it, Philip Rivers had plenty of time to move the Chargers 51 yards in 1:44 to set up Nick Novak's go-ahead 46-yarder with 7 seconds remaining.
"So obviously when you look back at it, we probably should have ran the clock down," Kelly said.
Given the way the Eagles operate Kelly's up-tempo, no-stopping system, it may be difficult for them to slow things down and maintain their impressive results. The fast-paced, frenetic attack is certainly working. The Eagles have 63 points and 954 total yards in two games.
"Could we have? Sure," Kelly said about playing more of a ball-control offense. "But we wouldn't have scored a lot of points. So you're in a Catch 22. We were behind, so you've got to try to score to get back into the game, and you can play that game and say, 'Hey, let's work the clock here a little bit.' But if you start handcuffing our offense, then we may not have scored enough points to make it even a tied game, so now you're playing the other way.
"Then it turns into a huge catch-up game for us."
The Eagles (1-1) don't have much time to figure out a solution. They'll have to be ready to host former coach Andy Reid and his unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) on Thursday night.
It obviously will be an emotional game for Reid, his former players in Philadelphia, fans and the entire organization. Reid led the Eagles to their most successful stretch during his 14 seasons. They made nine playoff appearances, won six division titles, played in five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl.
Making Reid's return even more special, the Eagles will retire Donovan McNabb's No. 5 at halftime.
"It's just another football game," Vick said, trying to downplay the hype. "We have to get ready, we can't focus on the whole dynamic of the situation. We have a football game to prepare for, and we have to do everything to ensure that we have a chance to win the football game. That is what is most important. It's our third game in 11 days, but we're conditioned for it.
"We're ready for it."
NOTES: CB Brandon Hughes didn't practice Monday because of a hamstring injury. OL Dennis Kelly (back) returned to practice for the first time since training camp. ... Kelly said rookie S Earl Wolff will continue rotating with Nate Allen, but isn't ready to make the full-time starter.

Visiting Lecture Series: Man-Made Famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-1933: Was it Genocide?
Dr. Leonid Davydenko, head of the Public Law Department and director of General Service Legal Clinic at the Odessa National University of Law, Ukraine, will analyze the terrific results of politically engineering cataclysm organized by one the most cruel dictators in the world–Joseph Stalin–in his war against Ukrainians, the largest national minority in Soviet Union.
The intention of this lecture is to analyze if the international definition of genocide is applicable to the Great Famine and what must be done by the international community to prevent similar tragedies in the future: learning from the past.

I love my cousin and my boyfriend ♥ 6.23.2011
She's always there for me when I need her the most and I absolutely love her to death. We're more than family we're best friends and I think that everyone needs someone like that in their life. As I sit here listening to old country music and missing my boyfriend she's here to keep me company and keep my mind off things. I don't think I could get through my life without having someone like her to help me though. But anyway..enough family ranting, even though I could do it all day! I wish distance could get easier to handle. Let alone that we're six hours apart and that when its afternoon over there I'm just getting up in the morning. I can't wait to see Mitch when he gets back. I mean just talk about excited. That's this girl right here :D.
So today Ashley and I are off to Sally's to buy a piercing gun. Hey, what can I say? I need more metal through my ears. :))
I don't think we need an explanation about why this is bad, do we?

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) - The Department Of Natural Resources is asking for your comment on a set of proposed rules changes to how the agency handles fishing tournament applications.
The changes come after concerns were raised over crowding at boat ramps and fish mortality potentially associated with tournaments at hearings in late October and early November. DNR fisheries policy specialist Kate Strom Hiorns says the DNR has listened to the stakeholders that run and participate in the tournaments and made some changes to streamline and normalize the application process. "What we've tried to do is make it more clear how and when people can apply for tournaments and for what we're looking for from them."
Strom Hiorns says they'd like to make one full set of standards for the application process. "A lot of these permits have been approved regionally and by individual biologists, now we're putting that all into the rules and saying 'here's what it is' upfront." In addition, the applications would now be approved on a first come, first served basis rather than by a lottery.
But smaller establishments won't have to worry about not getting a permit. Strom Hiorns says they'll be dropping the permit requirement for long term general tournaments from smaller venues like bars or fishing clubs. "...we're making that easier, they don't have to get a permit to run these kinds of tournaments. Because this doesn't have the same type of crowding issues where there's everyone there at one lake on the same day."
In addition, DNR worked with tournament anglers to develop a standard approach for when and where bag limits will be reduced in hot summer months and to standardize boundaries on Green Bay to help prevent fish dying after tournaments with a catch-hold-release format.
A series of public hearings will take place at the end of October and into November in La Crosse, Fitchburg and Green Bay. You can send in calls or written comments now on the DNR's website or call center.
ON THE WEB: http://dnr.wi.gov/news/input/ProposedPermanent.html The fishing tournament rule can be found under FH-01-12.

|Annoying texture bug obviously fixed

|Good news!
Even though my not-so-few working hours per week at a German games company provide me only with very little time for modding, a test game yesterday with Swedish, Germans and Prussians proved successful in not showing up any texture bugs!
That bug fix was crucial for NE 2.2, because now we can be sure that all of you will really be able to see the new, implemented graphics throughout the whole game and not just the beginning.
I think it'd have been a pity (and a waste of texture work) if you couldn't enjoy the Swedish Dalkarl Pikemen like this:
Kudos to musketeer925 for giving the final tip.

|Hey there,
I felt like I had to drop this note since I haven't been posting any updates in the recent past. There are a couple of reasons for the delay: [1] I'm still looking for a job (and doesn't work that well), [2] The majority of team members is currently either occupied with other more pressing matters or experiences a temporary phase of feeling unmotivated (including me), [3] adding new content (such as 3d models or maps) causes extra polishing work and since I feel NE 2.2 wouldn't be as cool without these additions, I prefer to polish and fix these things. And finally [4] the weather is getting better and
Even though no damage was actually done, I want to compensate the time of waiting with two screenshot leaks :

|Ahoy landlubbers,
Tilanus and I are currently involved in the process of restructuring the forums.
+) NE Online is the new meeting place for lonely gamers.
+) Technical Support should be pretty clear. You can post any problems or bugs you encounter in this category.
+) Balance & Strategies is also a very meaningful title. It's the place for discussing strategies and posting balancing suggestions.
+) If it's something about Napoleonic Era, but doesn't fit elsewhere, then post it in the NE Forum, just like you did in General Discussions.
Help us keep track of all topics and post in the right category!
Thanks and good night,

To increase your excitement for 2014 I would like to announce that NE 2.2 will - next to the new installer - also contain NEW CONTENT. Actually it wasn't meant to be, but there was quite some stuff that could be added rather quickly. Maps, natives, models, textures, sounds, units - everything is possible. Party hard and game on!

A non-profit shake up. The United Way of the Virginia's in Mercer County lost its nonprofit status. According to leaders in the organization, it's a simple mix up.
We contacted the Secretary of States Office and this is what we found out:
"The Corporate status revoked: December 1, 2008 for failure to pay annual report fee. The Charity status expired: December 8, 2008 (for failure to file final report or to renew) and they have not renewed since. This means that they should not have been soliciting donations or receiving donations from people in West Virginia."
59News spoke with the Executive Director Michelle Carter. She would not speak with us on camera but she said she was unaware of the revoked status by the Secretary of State's Office.
Carter however did state their nonprofit status was revoked by the IRS due to a challenge with a 990 report. She stated The United Way did submit the reports, but feedback from the government asking for corrections never made it to the office.
The United Way of the Virginia's used to be located in Bluefield, Virginia. But recently they moved its office to Bluefield, West Virginia. According to executive Carter, the government documents were never sent to either address. Carter said they were sent to an address the united way was never located at.
According to Carter, she was notified by the IRS in April about the paperwork mix up. She stated they have stopped taking donations since they were noticed in April and are working to get their nonprofit status back. But the holdup is the government shutdown. Parts of the IRS are shut down until the government reaches a budget. So getting that status reinstated could take longer than expected.

An introduction...
The sauna is a small room or hut heated to around 80 degrees Celsius. It is used for bathing as well as for mental and physical relaxation.
While a hot sauna may seem a cruel punishment to unexperienced bathers, it is actually a very pleasant experience. All you need is a towel and at least half an hour of time. Start with a shower, then enter the sauna for a few minutes, listening to your senses. When you've had enough, take a refreshing shower, cool off for awhile and repeat once or twice. And no need to worry, it's entirely safe.
... and a lot more
The sauna has a long history and close relatives in other cultures: the Russian banya, the Native American sweat lodge or inipi, the Turkish hamam, even the Japanese onsen. In Finland it has at least a thousand years of history.
There are 1,212,000 saunas in private apartments in Finland (2002 statistics). With another 800,000 installations in summer cottages and public swimming pools that makes for more than 2 million saunas for a population of 5.2 million. For comparison, we have just under 2.5 million cars and trucks. If you are thinking of building a sauna of your own, start with these ideas and guidelines.
New book
Mikkel Aaland has recently published a Kindle ebook on building saunas. I haven't read it yet, but based on his earlier writing and expertise on saunas, it ought to be good. Take a look: How to Build Your Own Sauna & Sweat
About the book: This is an illustrated, in-depth, how-to-build guide to constructing your own sauna or sweat bath. The author is Mikkel Aaland, a universally recognized authority on sweat bathing cultures around the world. The 100-page booklet comes complete with simple, straightforward instructions and designs that accommodate just about any budget and a variety of building skills.

Talking about how divisive the judicial confirmation process has become, McConnell spoke from personal experience having recently undergone his own confirmation battles. After being nominated by President Bush for the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, McConnell had to wait 19 months before the Senate confirmed him in late 2002.
McConnell said that it is important for people to realize that these confirmation proceedings can be very emotionally draining on the nominee and their families.
"We are human beings," McConnell said. "Not just political punching bags."
According to McConnell, these judicial confirmation wars are a relatively new phenomenon in American politics. Before the late 80's, the process, although sometimes contentious, never made headlines on the front page of The New York Times.
Despite headlines, McConnell argued that the media has overblown how politicized the judiciary really is.
"The civic book picture of judging is much more accurate than the newspaper version," McConnell said. "The Judiciary is not as politicized as the newspaper editorials would lead us to believe."
McConnell shared findings from a recent study conducted by professors Cass Sunstein, David Schkade and Lisa Ellman titled Ideological Voting on the Federal Court of Appeals which argues that Republican appointed judges and Democratic appointed judges do have major ideological differences.
McConnell however, said that he believed the methodology of the study was flawed, making any the findings overstated. He argued that the study looked only at published opinions from appellate courts, which make up only around 30 percent of all court decisions. According to McConnell, the other 70 percent are usually unanimous decisions; this fact would have had a major impact on the findings.
To support his argument that the judiciary isn't as politicized as the media makes it out to be, McConnell revealed that the Sunstein, Schkade and Ellman study showed that there was no difference in how Republican appointed justices and Democratic appointed justices decided cases dealing with property, the contract clause, race and criminal cases.
"For my Republican friends who think that liberals are soft on crime, that's not true," McConnell said. "And for my liberal friends who think Republican judges are not fair in regards to criminals and their civil liberties, there is no evidence to support this claim either."
Politics enter the court through the confirmation process, and McConnell argued that this has become an unhealthy practice. Delays in getting justices on the bench and getting the best qualified judges confirmed were McConnell's two major concerns.
McConnell cited statistics that show dramatic changes in the average time it now takes to have an appellate judge confirmed. During the Carter administration and throughout the first six years of Ronald Reagan's term, the average time it took a nominee to be confirmed was 50 days. By 1986, that number was 120 days. During the Clinton administration the number climbed to 250 days and under President George W. Bush the average time it takes a nominee to be confirmed is 400 days.
McConnell also said that the number of nominees being confirmed by the Senate is also dropping. At the beginning of the Clinton administration, the confirmation rate of nominees was 92 percent. By Clinton's second term, the number had fallen to 84 percent and currently 64 percent of President Bush's nominees have been confirmed.
McConnell said that both Republican Senators during the Clinton administration and Democratic Senators under President Bush are using the same tactic of easing up and speeding up the confirmation proceedings of district court judges, and impeding the confirmation of appellate court justices. Both sides, McConnell argued, are equally guilty.
"It's like a bad game of poker," McConnell said. "One side sees you one and then raises you one."
McConnell believes it is best when the court can be an apolitical institution and hopes that appellate benches can be both diverse and filled with the best possible nominees.
Along with his duties as justice on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge McConnell is a law professor at the University of Utah.

Hang out in a hammock or hit the trail running, all G Adventures tours feature a mix of experiences geared towards popular interests. Our trips always include the must-sees and must-dos, and often appeal to nature enthusiasts, water sport fans and cultural buffs alike. If you're looking for something more specific like sailing or cycling, then choose your preferred activity icon to see what tours come up.
CyclingFast enough to cover serious ground but slow enough to smell the roses, a cycling tour might just be the perfect way to travel. It's cheap, pollution-free, and brings you closer to the locals. Whether cruising between wineries with a picnic basket or grinding over mountain passes, don't watch the landscape from a window, be part of it.
VolunteerTaking in the sights, taking pictures, taking a bus, taking your time ... no wonder they call it taking a vacation. Instead of always taking something away when you travel, why not give something back? There's no better cultural immersion than to earn respect by working side by side with locals. The options are endless; pick one you're passionate about and leave the land, animals or people better off than before you arrived. The bonus is you may find you take away more from your travel than ever before.
Chill OutBusy, busy, busy ... why is everyone always trying to make you DO something? Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all, and some places seem perfectly designed for ... well, nothing. Try "being" rather than "being busy", and you might even discover another side of where or even who you are. So hang your hammock, grab a pina colada and kick back.
Culture/HistoryFor history hounds and culture vultures there's never a shortage of locations to indulge your curiosity and immerse yourself in the traditions of days gone by. Vibrant living cultures infused with the olden times offer a window into the past, and hold a mirror up to our own world.
PhotographyAre you a photo junkie? Then join the "snap pack" and travel to some of the most photogenic places on earth. Our photography trips put you on an itinerary specially geared towards getting the perfect pic, with a group of like-minded travellers. Learn new tricks, share your knowledge, and never worry about taking the time to get the shot. Bonus: someone always has an extra lens cap.
Yacht-based AdventuresFew modes of travel feel freer than sailing. Glide wherever the wind takes you, where the only sounds are waves on the hull and ice in your drink. At the end of the day, moor in sheltered coves unreachable by any other means, or pull up to a dock in the middle of party central. Self-contained and independent, a sailboat frees you from the worries of both transport and accommodation, so you can choose to stay and explore, or move on with the next tide.
Wildlife/NatureIt's often said we don't truly appreciate something until we lose it. As the fragility of our natural world becomes more evident, we find ourselves increasingly drawn to places where we can reconnect with the earth, no longer just spectators, but a part of the planet. With little control over the experience, contact with untamed wildlife is a gift, a blessing, and a humbling reminder of how removed from nature our lives have become.
Trekking/HikingAs long as there have been mountains, people have felt compelled to climb them. Even if you aren't interested in crampons and first ascents, there's something particularly satisfying about hiking through the wild outdoors completely under your own leg power. So strap on some boots, get sweaty, and earn that view!
RaftingWhether you're an adrenaline junkie or prefer a lazy float downstream, there's no better way to watch the landscape scroll by than to sit back and let the river do the work. That is, of course, unless you're hanging on for dear life as you crash through the churning white foam of a class V rapid. To see the world's wildest rivers in a way no human should (but almost anybody can), you can't beat rafting. Just hang on to your paddle.
Kayak/CanoeExplore jungle-choked estuaries, navigate shallow man-made waterways or paddle from lake to lake and island to island - canoes and kayaks take you places nothing else can go. Human-powered and silent, a small boat lets you get up close and personal with nature. Come see the view from water level, at a speed you can take it all in at.
Expedition CruisingCruising can have a bad rap among the adventure travel set. But cruises don't have to be all shuffleboard and late-night buffets. Some of the world's most pristine, remote places can only be reached from the water, and with G Adventures Expeditions, the most important element is the destination. Hop on board an expedition-style ship and change your image of cruising forever.
FamilyBefore you decided to start a family, you backpacked and slept in hammocks by the sea. Now you want to share that spirit of adventure with the family. Keep it alive with authentic and educational trips that reflect what's important to parents—short travel times and the safety of group travel.
FestivalsEvery culture celebrates, and everyone loves a good party. There's no better way to sense the soul of a place and get insight into its people than through their festivals. Inhibitions are low, traditions are on parade and people show their true colours. Join in the fun, learn native dances, customs and music and connect on a local level.

$1.2 Million goes to Build Business Infrastructure, Create Jobs in Ingleside
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

WASHINGTON -- Acting U.S. Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank today announced a $1.2 million Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant to the city of Ingleside, Texas, to construct critically needed water infrastructure that will help convert the former Naval Station Ingleside to commercial use. The project is expected to attract new businesses, especially in the energy sector, and will create hundreds of new jobs, according to grantee estimates.
"This $1.2 million EDA investment in Texas is an example of the Obama administration's commitment to investing in 21st century infrastructure and supporting American jobs," said Acting Secretary Blank. "The grant announced today will help Ingleside construct new water storage and delivery systems critical to the city's ability to attract new businesses. With this new infrastructure in place, Ingleside and the surrounding Nueces and San Patricio counties have the potential to create jobs in the energy industry and support the region's economic growth."
"The 2005 Base Realignment and Closing Commission (BRAC) decision to close Naval Station Ingleside hurt the local economy, which is one reason I insisted the base be transferred, at no cost, to the redevelopment authority," Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison said. "The community has rallied to find new and creative economic opportunities and this development grant will help keep the recovery on track and make the site more attractive to new uses."
"A long-term water supply in Ingleside allows the city to sustain manufacturing growth from companies like Kiewit Offshore and Gulf Marine Fabricators while transitioning the Naval Station for civilian use," Representative Blake Farenthold said. "This stimulates the local economy, helps meet the world's energy needs, and lowers the price of gasoline."
The EDA grant will help fund construction of new groundwater systems as well as a new state-of-the-art elevated water storage tank. The improvements will assure long-term access to water supplies so that they are sufficient to meet the needs of both existing residential consumers and the new businesses that are expected to move into the renovated Naval Station.
The mission of the U.S. Economic Development Administration is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting competitiveness and preparing the nation's regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. An agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, EDA makes investments in economically distressed communities in order to create jobs for U.S. workers, promote American innovation, and accelerate long-term sustainable economic growth.
