Jersey Shore Feels Summertime Blues After Sandy
By editor
Originally published on Tue September 3, 2013 3:04 pm
Labor Day weekend marks the close of the official summer season on the Jersey Shore. But for some towns, it's like the summer never really began. Destruction from Hurricane Sandy last October kept tourists away. Some towns are still struggling to rebuild. Businesses that rely on seasonal visitors for much of their yearly take are wondering if they'll be around next year.

I am an Architect, Planner, Educator by profession…
My immersion into the rich world of tea began with brewing Kombucha which uses camilla sinensis tea. A conversation of the health benefits of green tea versus black lead me to look deeper. Since I can remember, I have been an advocate of alternative and naturopathic health and so am drawn to loose green teas from Japan at the moment because of their high catechin content and low oxidation. My love of tea has managed to engage and inspire me to know more about farming, geology, processing, chemistry, biology, history, economics, artisanal tea ware, trade routes and of course the endless subtleties of aroma and taste.

Countless agenda minutes and passed motions will tell you that hundreds of projects are ongoing at the City of Sparks heading into 2013. The City Council has stressed throughout the past year that economic development and job creation are at the top of the priority list and it has developed initiatives for promoting tourism, sports and special events.
Ron Schmitt has served on the Sparks City Council for more than 10 years and currently sits on committees such as Sparks Tourism and Marketing (Chair), Local Emergency Planning and the Washoe County Human Services Consortium, to name a few. He said his focus in 2013 will be an ongoing examination of the city's financial security.
"My biggest priority is to continue monitoring the economic progress of the city," Schmitt said Monday during a phone interview. "I plan to constantly monitor the economic condition of the country and the city so that we are able to be out ahead of any trends that may begin, or any sort of recession, so we can keep things financially secure."
Schmitt said the city was able to come out of the most recent recession despite the amount of turmoil it caused for the entire country. Though the City of Sparks was hit by the economic downturn, Schmitt said a goal of the city council is to ensure the city's public service remains strong.
"We want to be able to react quickly to any changing events in the country and in the state to be as prepared as possible," he said. "We also want to hire back as many people as we can to fill the service-level positions that we lost from the police department, fire department and those places —and have the money to do so."
Mike Carrigan has been a member of the Sparks City Council for 13 years and is on committees such as the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority, Truckee Meadows Water Authority and the Regional Planning Governing Board. Carrigan agreed that the City of Sparks survived the recession in a much more stable condition than other entities in the area.
"As far as our budget, we're looking better than Reno and Washoe County," he said. "We're doing fine. We got ahead of the curve … I'm really proud that as a city council we saw the writing on the wall. We started cutting back and didn't have to lay off people.
"We all banded together and said 'this is what we need to do.' Everybody sacrificed. Some people took a pay cut, but we kept everybody working and were still able to do a lot for the citizens."
Ron Smith has been a member of the City Council since 2006 and holds seats on the Regional Transportation Commission (Chair), Truckee River Flood Management Committee and the Sparks Redevelopment Agency (Chair), among others. Smith said based on the committees he is involved in, the Flood Project and improvement of the Pyramid Way and McCarran Boulevard intersection are at the top of his 2013 list.
"I think the near flood that happened earlier this month (December) shows us that it could happen any time and we have to move the flood project forward," Smith said Monday. "We have to protect the industrial park down there."
As chairman of the RTC, Smith was key in finalizing and groundbreaking the SouthEast Connector, which will provide a new southern route to Reno. He said now that the project is underway it is time to shift his focus to another highly traveled area of the city.
"Eventually we are going to have 120,000 people living in (the Spanish Springs) valley and an intersection fails if you have to sit through it more than once. We also have the US 395 Connector which is several years away and is a $600 million project to help that part of the city."
Smith said the city was able to acquire a few homes in the Pyramid Way and McCarran Boulevard vicinity as part of the intersection project. He said acquiring those homes is an extensive process and the city will be working closely with the Nevada Department of Transportation next year to purchase more.
The City Council will also be working with the Washoe County School District in addressing some of the problems in Sparks schools this year. Superintendent Pedro Martinez is focused on closing achievement gaps in student's education, a shared goal of the Sparks City Council.
"My ward has the lowest income in the city and many of the children in my area are English-language learners. We have to do a better job of getting those kids ready for high school," Councilwoman Julia Ratti said in mid-December. "I think the entire council is supportive of closing those gaps by enhancing lower grades. When we hear and see that students are struggling in the third grade, it is highly unlikely they will make it through high school."
In addressing the goal of economic development, the city has begun a relationship with the Economic Development Authority of Northern Nevada (EDAWN) to aid in bringing in new businesses and strengthening current ones.
"Anything we can do to get those (outside) businesses to come in and stay here we will do. We can put Nevada back to work," Sparks City Manager Shaun Carey said in November. "All of our sales taxes are essentially coming by people having retail. That needs to be northern Nevada's focus for the next three to five years because we are a preeminent community in which to relocate for anyone who wants to expand. We have the capacity, the workforce and I think we will see a slow, gradual improvement and more Nevadans will be back to work."
Councilman Carrigan said attracting and recruiting new businesses into Sparks will be key for its future. He said becoming "business friendly in Sparks" will boost economic development.
"We've got some empty land and a lot is in areas we can offer good deals," Carrigan said. "I want to try to get businesses to relocate. A lot of people in California are pretty upset with the state and a lot of people are looking for a place to move their business.
"I want our economic development people to reach out, then let our council say 'no' if we need to.Their concern should be recruiting and finding businesses that want to relocate. That's what this city needs."
In marking some of the highest achievements of 2012, Councilman Schmitt was quick to cite the SouthEast Connector project as a "major accomplishment" for the City Council, the RTC and the region. He said considering the number of years it has taken to approve the project, seeing this year's city council help finalize it marks a milestone of 2012.
Another shared accomplishment of the council and Mayor Geno Martini is the ability of the council to work together despite issues and concerns on various projects. Smith said working with the current Sparks City Council is "wonderful because we can solve problems and work together," and "even when we disagree we work together. When the voting is done we back each other up."
Mayor Martini voiced his opinion about council members working together among themselves and with the City of Reno and Washoe County governments last month.
"Anytime we can get together on a project like this (the SouthEast Connector), that was a little bit controversial, it's huge. It really is," Martini said. "When there is a project that we really need in this community and is really going to benefit this community you know we come together and we get it done."

Refresh idea for mobile site
I was thinking it would be cool if at the bottom of the mobile site forum there was a refresh button you could call it check for new post and when it refreshes it loads back to the last post before refreshing. If its a hot topic by the time you get to the bottom there are always more post and it would be easier than going back to the top hitting refresh then scrolling all the way back down to the bottom and trying to find the last post you read. Just a idea.

NEW ULM - Firefighters honed their skills Saturday with a live fire drill involving a vacated building on Boundary Street, near River View Sanitation on the north edge of town.
The drill began with several small-scale live burns. Firefighters lit controllable size fires in a room on the third floor of the building. A team of five firefighters advanced to the area and extinguished the fire, then ventilated the area and overhauled the room, ensuring the fire did not extend to other areas.
Firefighters then lit several areas of the first floor. Fire eventually consumed the building while other firefighters created hose streams and protected exposures surrounding the building.

New Ulm Volunteer firefighters practice their skills with a live burn fire drill at vacated building adjacent to River View Sanitation on Boundary Street Saturday.
River View Sanitation owner Kevin Finstad watched the building burn while firefighters held hoses on it.
"Long ago, the building housed a male dormitory where Martin Luther College now stands," Finstad said. "It was beyond repair, but in it's day, the stucco and wood building had to be beautiful. It had 12 bedrooms, four bathrooms and hardwood floors."

text: Farmers Should Be Part of Earth Day Celebration NCGA says telling the farmer's story important part of celebration. Published on: Apr 21, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The 40th anniversary of Earth Day is this Thursday, April 22. It's a day that was started to inspire awareness and a better appreciation of the environment, and, according to the National Corn Growers Association, that should include the contributions made by farmers every year. It should also be a day to increase grower awareness of the sustainability of their own operations. "It only makes sense that growers would work to preserve land, water and air," said NCGA President Darrin Ihnen, a family farmer in Hurley, S.D. "We need to conserve these resources for the survival of our farms, which most of us have passed from generation to generation." Today's farmers produce 70% more corn per pound of nutrients than in the 1970s according to numbers compiled by the USDA. High-tech equipment and seed technologies have helped lead to this increase. Also according to the Keystone Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture's Field to Market study producing a bushel of corn has decreased soil loss by 69%, land and energy use by 37%, greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, and water application by 27% between 1987 and 2007.

In 1898, four hundred members of the Fifteenth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry were hospitalized with typhoid after camping at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. U.S. Army surgeons decided the epidemic's source was the public water of Minneapolis.
In 1898 the Spanish–American War began and the Fifteenth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry was assembled. The state expected so many volunteers that it created a temporary camp at the state fairgrounds. Prospective soldiers began arriving at the fairgrounds on July 5, and by July 18, 1,326, men had enlisted. The regiment was one of the largest groups ever assembled in Minnesota. The camp became a center of public activity as citizens came to see the regiment train.
At the fairgrounds soldiers participated in training, parades and drills. Temperatures were abnormally hot and camp hospitals were filled. On July 16th alone doctors recorded seventy-five soldiers in the hospitals. Doctors dismissed most conditions as minor and the result of drinking too much water.
However, by July 25 doctors began to report men whose conditions failed to improve. Because the soldiers had been drinking so much water, doctors suspected the fairgrounds water supply was the source of the illness. By early August water tests found typhoid bacteria in fairgrounds water tanks. During the course of the month, typhoid became an epidemic in the camp. Soldiers were succumbing at an average rate of twenty per day. On August 23, Colonel H.A. Leonhauser moved the regiment to Fort Snelling, hoping to escape the epidemic. Fort Snelling was unique because it had its own well for fresh water.
In Minnesota that summer, 360 men were hospitalized with typhoid. As the Fifteenth Regiment prepared to transfer to Camp Meade in Pennsylvania to complete their basic training, new cases continued to appear. An additional forty men were hospitalized before the epidemic finally began to decline in mid-September, after the men had reached Camp Meade.
Camp Meade was created specifically by the U.S. Army to remove soldiers from older camps where typhoid had flourished. Typhoid plagued the Fifteenth and other regiments throughout the Spanish-American War. Because of this, the U.S. Army commissioned Dr. Walter Reed and army surgeons to investigate how typhoid spread through the army.
From hospital records Dr. Reed determined that the Minnesota Fifteenth suffered the first large typhoid epidemic of the war. The Army was concerned that the Fifteenth Regiment had spread the typhoid epidemic. They ordered Dr. Reed to find its source. At the time little was known about typhoid other than how to identify its bacteria and that it could be spread by human contact.
Dr. Reed concluded that the origin of the epidemic was contaminated public water in Minneapolis. This was based on the city reporting three hundred cases of typhoid in 1897. City public water was pumped from the Mississippi River and was contaminated with waste and sewage upstream. Bacteria could thrive in this polluted water. While the fairgrounds were located in St. Paul, Reed believed that a soldier could carry the bacteria from Minneapolis. Since most of the soldiers had never been exposed to typhoid, they could easily contract the bacteria. Once the disease was present it could be spread to other soldiers and water supplies. While Dr. Reed informed officials of his findings, he had no suggestions for how to eliminate typhoid from city water.
The losses of the Fifteenth Regiment were tragic. Typhoid was the only major source of casualties for the regiment during the Spanish-American War. The U.S. and Spain began negotiating a cease-fire on July 30 and the Fifteenth never saw active service. Ultimately, the epidemic lasted for three months and hospitalized four hundred men. Victims were sick for about seventy days. Eighteen members of the regiment died from typhoid. The epidemic raised concerns about public health in Minnesota and nationwide. As a result, because of new attention paid to typhoid and its causes, health services were able to eliminate the typhoid bacteria from public water by 1910.

Kids' Winter 2002
My first view of the Great Plains came at 16, through the window of a Greyhound bus as it pulled out of Oklahoma City at daybreak. The city was like wind at our backs, pushing us toward something my Eastern eyes could not quite discern, as if the prairie were a darkened room: land stretching out endlessly, like the horizon itself. Through western Oklahoma, along the top of Texas, down into New Mexico, I waited for my eyes to adjust, to see what was really there, but as miles gathered behind us in dust, they never did.
For the past 15 years, seeing what is really there in those parts of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and the seven other states that comprise the Great Plains, has been the work of professors Frank and Deborah Popper. In 1987, the two New Jersey academics, he a land-use planner, she a geographer, concerned with both the depopulation of the Plains states west of the 98th meridian and the ecological impacts of human activity upon the land, suggested an alternative reality. They called it the Buffalo Commons. In its simplest formulation it meant only this: letting the land, as it emptied of people, some 139,000 square miles of it, revert back to its former self – unfenced range to buffalo and mountain cat, the country¹s biggest open-space project.
But simple ideas are often the most threatening, and when the Poppers visited those places and presented their case for the Buffalo Commons, they were met with hostility and derision. Still, they pressed on, making trip after trip to Billings and Denver and McCook and Rapid City.
And then, at some point – Frank Popper pinpoints around 1994 – the hostility began to fade. Conversations shifted from "why" to "when," from "nothing doing," to "how?"

guatemala: mapping and resisting transnational corporations and capital
Along with other Central American countries, Guatemala is now committed to the Central America-Dominican Republic-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). In 2009 Guatemala was also engaged in negotiations with the EU to establish a free trade-style 'Association Agreement' between the EU and Central American countries (which was concluded in May 2010).
what happened
FoE Guatemala/Ceiba aims to influence public policy and government programs, with a view to bringing about the fundamental transformations that society needs. It has campaigned to denounce the abuses and impacts of new megaprojects; and to warn Guatemalans about and work with them on the potential negative impacts of free trade agreements.
As part of this effort, FoE Guatemala has mapped the presence, activities and impacts of European transnational companies active in Guatemala. This has generated a wealth of information that is strategically important both at the national level, and in terms of FoEI's global campaign to dismantle the excessive power of corporations.
In 2009, the focus was on consolidating and publishing the information gathered, and disseminating it to communities and organizations throughout the country. The resulting report was distributed to various social organizations and national leaders. In addition, five workshops were held in different regions of Guatemala, to discuss and analyze the report's contents. More than 200 people including community leaders, peasants, and participants from Community Development Councils (COCODES) participated and provided important feedback, which was added to that already received from various communities.
Specific campaigns are also underway in collaboration with affected communities. These include support to communities resisting the Cementera Cementos Progreso, in San Juan Sacatepequez, which involves Swiss company Holcim.
FoE Guatemala is also working with community leaders, religious leaders and local social organizations in San Marcos, supporting community resistance targeted at Spanish company, Union Fenosa. Community leaders have been criminalized for their resistance, and five have died in suspicious circumstances. It is hoped that the presence of international observers will make it ever harder for such repression to continue.
what changed
The information contained in the report was an important contribution to the planning and positioning processes underway within social and popular organizations, especially in relation to the Association Agreement under negotiation with the EU. It provided them with concrete information about commercial developments and free trade negotiations underway.
The information gathered also provides a detailed and informative foundation for the specific company-related resistance campaigns being conducted by communities and indigenous peoples determined to defend their territories.

But by my count, 13 of these are in California, and 12 of them are in the LA area? I used to live in the East Bay and I know what types of stunning, year-round (or nearly) outdoor landscapes can be created there. However, beautiful outdoor spaces can be created in many other types of climates and settings. Better geographic balance in this posting would be nice. (The garden in Nebraska is awesome)

Recent social media serves as a reminder, be careful what you TweetJamestown, ND (WDAY TV) - Jamestown Representative Jessica Haak has taken to the house floor to apologize to Majority Leader Al Carlson for calling him a "Nazi" on twitter.
Jamestown, ND (WDAY TV) - Jamestown Representative Jessica Haak has taken to the house floor to apologize to Majority Leader Al Carlson for calling him a "Nazi" on twitter.
Haak was tweeting about the debate on funding private schools Wednesday afternoon. After Carlson asked her "not" to tweet things happening on the floor, she sent out a tweet calling him a Nazi.
In addition to her apology on the house floor, she said sorry in a tweet.
Some of us use social media, to update our friends and family, and we tend to share both good and bad things.
It's a good reminder to think twice before you tweet.
Online media can really be related to a diary. It's where we write our thoughts, emotions and sometimes even rants. Sometimes those quick blurbs can really get us into trouble.
Carrie Pierce, Social Media User: "Email, Facebook, haven't gotten into Twitter or LinkedIn."
Destruction is at the tip of our fingers. One wrong, word, tweet, text or picture and your online reputation could be tarnished.
Pierce: "I do, I see some things and I go 'Boy that's silly.' If you neuter your dog I don't think you need to post it on Facebook."
Even if it's what you're doing or a real honest opinion.
Mindy Marquardt, Social Media User: "Definitely, play by play of their life."
It might just be best to keep it to yourself, especially if it's as potentially offensive as Representative Jessica Haak's tweet.
Deneen Gilmour, Multi-Media Professor: "I don't think she did anything wrong by tweeting from the house floor. It's the word "Nazi"."
Just one tweet can light up your feed and spread like wild fire, making it hard to recover.
Gilmour: "How many of us have typed in a status, a rant really, and gone back and deleted it."
But multimedia expert, Deneen Gilmour, says it's not the end of the world. In fact, now-a-days, that's how our world functions.
Gilmour: "Hey, it's 2013, if he wanted to really have a comeback, get on Twitter and do something more clever right back at her."
Others are sticking with the old-fashioned concept. If you don't have anything nice to say,
Pierce: "If you wouldn't say it to his face, don't post it, don't Tweet it, don't Facebook it. Wrong. So wrong"
And if you know you're wrong, simply say sorry.
Marquardt: "Well all she can do is back track, really. And if it's really not her way of thinking then she just needs to say it."
Of course, Jessica Haak did say she was sorry.
We did reach out to representative Jessica Haak for comment, but she did not get back to us.

text: Josh Flint Doomsday Preppers Proves U.S. Doesn't Understand Farming Prairie Gleanings National Geographic show highlights how far Americans have strayed from the farm. Published on: September 18, 2012 A couple years ago, I decided I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't bear to watch another one of network television's new sitcoms or fantasy dramas. The breaking point was when I realized Charlie Sheen's "Two and a Half Men" was one of the top-rated sitcoms. I was beginning to accept that I was paying for cable just so I could watch sports. Then I found "Doomsday Preppers." If you haven't seen this show, do yourself a favor and set the DVR now. Here's the premise. The National Geographic Channel profiles folks who are convinced Armageddon is just months away. In the process, the families (Note: in many episodes, the wife is not on board with the plan.) discuss which disaster they're preparing for and what they've done to ensure survival. I'm not going to debate whether or not the end of the world is near. Rather, I'd like to point out the complete idiocy that seems to be a requisite part of any "preppers"' plan. Most folks follow the same basic outline. Step one: buy a bunch of food with a long shelf life. Step two: acquire a safe place to ride out the end of days. Step three: get a bunch of guns and ammo to shoot looters. Step four: wait. Depending on the prepper's IQ, the likelihood of successfully implementing the plan varies wildly. One of my favorite episodes featured a woman who lived in Washington, across the street from the nation's capitol. She'd stockpiled a room full of food, but her safe place was in Utah. The "experts" quickly pointed out that there was no way she could carry enough food to sustain her on a cross-country hike. Here's the clincher: most of these are urban folks who don't even consider the possibility of growing your own food as a sustainable means of survival. Instead, they pretty much all follow the "protect the food stash" code. And, let's be honest, who will come looking for food in the wake of a crisis? Do you think a bus load of convicted felons will kick down the door and steal your food? Or, perhaps more likely, your next-door neighbor will knock on the door and ask if you could spare a can of soup? Are they really willing to shoot their neighbors for asking for food? I hope not. Very few episodes have profiled folks who plan to set up an agrarian settlement in the wake of a disaster. Instead, they're too busy worrying about killing enough wild game to feed their family. I've got to think this has something to do with all these survival-themed shows. There's a big difference in finding your way back to civilization and starting a new civilization. I'd wager most "Doomsday Preppers" viewers see a bunch of paranoid gun nuts. I see a nation that's forgotten how to farm. Isn't there an old parable about teaching a man to fish vs. giving him a fish? We need to remind folks that celebrity chefs and grocery stores do not feed people. Farmers do.

Marquette University Libraries in collaboration with Milwaukee Public Library announce a five-event series on "Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women." English Department scholars Angela Sorby and Sarah Wadsworth will present lectures, lead book discussions, and screen documentary and feature films.

Link to complete details for each event
1."Louisa May Alcott: Through Her Eyes"
September 19 (Monday), 4:30 p.m., Raynor Library Conference Center
This community-wide library event hosted by Marquette will serve to launch the series by introducing brief dramatic readings from several lesser-known Alcott works. The engaging mix of performers, speakers, and audiovisuals will be followed by a reception, refreshments, and a drawing for Alcott books.
2. "Louisa May Alcott Wrote That? Alcott and the Civil War"
October 6 (Thursday), 4:30 p.m., Raynor Library Conference Center
Dr. Angela Sorby (Associate Professor of English, Marquette University) will present a lecture about Alcott's role in the Civil War and lead a discussion of Hospital Sketches and short fiction with abolitionist themes.

Book Room
This event will feature a viewing of the first half of the American Masters 2008 documentary film, plus selected scenes from the 1994 film, Little Women, followed by a discussion led by professors Angela Sorby and Sarah Wadsworth (English Department, Marquette University). This event will take place in the reception area adjacent to the Krug Rare Book Room, where an exhibit of books related to Alcott will be displayed.
4. "Louisa May Alcott: Literary Phenomenon and Social Reformer"
November 10 (Thursday), 4:30 p.m., Raynor Library Conference Center
Dr. Sarah Wadsworth (Associate Professor of English, Marquette University) will present a lecture on Alcott's complex and varied role in the literary marketplace as a self-trained and successful professional writer. With reference to a range of genres and texts, including Transcendental Wild Oats, Moods, Work, and Behind a Mask, the lecture and discussion will explore how Alcott negotiated the line between "popular" and "literary" and how her texts advocated a range of progressive reforms while addressing a mainstream audience interested chiefly in entertainment.
5."Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women" film
screening and discussion of the 2009 biography by Harriet Reisen
November 29 (Tuesday), 6:30 p.m., Milwaukee Public Library, Betty Brinn Children's Room Herzfeld Activity Center.
This event will begin with a screening of the second half of the documentary Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women and wrap up the entire programming series with a discussion of the Reisen biography led by Drs. Angela Sorby and Sarah Wadsworth. This event coincides with Alcott's birthday (1832), which will be celebrated with a birthday cake. An informal exhibit of Alcott's juvenile fiction will be on display in the adjacent Children's Room.
Exhibits: In addition to the five programs, there are exhibits in the Milwaukee Public Central Library and the John P. Raynor, S. J., Library lobby. MPL's exhibits, located in the Krug Rare Book Room, Periodicals, and Humanities Rooms, feature Alcott works from the rarities collection, historical printed matter highlighting Alcott's relationships with Concord Transcendentalists; nineteenth-century popular fiction; and connections to reforms Alcott advocated, such as abolition, education, and women's health. The companion book exhibit in Raynor Library's lobby, through September 20, features books by and about Louisa May Alcott and showcases relevant aspects of nineteenth-century American print culture, such as St. Nicholas magazine, as well as contemporary interpretations of Alcott's works.
Book club kit: To encourage community participation, the sponsors have created a book club kit, available for checkout at the Milwaukee Public Library. The kit contains 10 paperback copies of Harriet Reisen's 2009 biography, Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women, an overview of Alcott resources, and a reading group guide with discussion questions. See the CountyCat record here and more about the book club kits here.
Resource guide: Raynor Memorial Libraries has posted an online resource guide with handy lists of library and digital books by Alcott, as well as books and websites about the author, her period, and her contemporaries. Find the resource guide here.
All events in this series are free and open to all members of the Marquette and Milwaukee communities. For events held in Raynor Library (#1, 2, & 4 above), guests without Marquette IDs are advised to arrive in time to register at a table in the Raynor lobby for entrance to the library. Two parking structures (Wells Street between 12th and 13th; and 16th St. between Wisconsin and Wells) are open to visitors for a fee; a campus map and driving directions to campus are here. Questions about any of the events may be addressed to Susan Hopwood, Outreach Librarian, by e-mail or phone (414) 288-5995.

2:42 pm EST: Oh, and in the interest of fairness: Nomar, not on the final list. Sorry, Nomar. I just love using that picture.
2:23 pm EST: Mitchell's still giving his press conference and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… oh, sorry. This guy is about as interesting as baseball where all the players aren't juicing. Just kidding. Anyway, we're cutting the live blogging deal a little short, because this report continues to be 409 pages long, and I'm sure we're all more interested in sorting through it. It's pretty good, though: there's actually checks that the players wrote for drugs. If you haven't checked it out yet, go here-ish: http://files.mlb.com/mitchrpt.pdf
One final comment, Mitchell is saying that everyone shares blame – players, the union, and MLB itself. I'm glad he's not going to let Selig off the hook here.
2:04 pm EST: Well the report is out, and the hair is flying. This thing is 409 pages long! Christ. More Dodgers involved: Kevin Brown, Paulie LoDuca. No shock there.
1:54 pm EST: ESPN legal analyst Roger Cossack implicates Jason Priestly! I knew he needed some help in order to get all those 90210 hotties.
Sure, he probably meant to say Jason Grimsley, but this is way more fun.
1:45 pm EST: 15 minutes until Sen. Mitchell speaks and… wait… Jose Canseco is there? At the presser? Oh god, this is going to be a bigger circus than I thought.
1:20 pm EST: Nomar, you've been implicated in the Mitchell Report for using illegal steroids. How do you respond?
1:08 pm EST: Just so we're all on the same page here, whenever you hear anyone – exec, player, coach, media, anyone – say they were completely unaware of the steroid issue until about 2002 or so? Yeah, they're full of shit. The Washington Post's Thomas Boswell wrote a story about Jose Canseco being on steroids in 1988. Canseco was so upset he threatened to sue; he didn't, of course, because as we all know, he was full of more juice than a Florida orange grove.Just saying: don't believe them when they say they didn't know.
1:04 pm EST: This just in: Tommy Lasorda has tested positive for dangerously high levels of rigatoni, a performance-enhancing starch. When reached for comment, Tommy replied: "MORE!"
12:45 pm EST: While I can't reiterate enough how much hearsay this all could be, apparently one of the big reason Clemens is on the list is because his supplier, a trainer, gave him. And that he met the trainer when he went from Boston to Toronto in 1997.
1995, Boston: 4.18 ERA, 1.436 WHIP
1996, Boston: 3.63 ERA, 1.327 WHIP
1996-97, winter: goes to Toronto, meets Captain Steroids
1997, Toronto: 2.05 ERA, 1.030 WHIP, Cy Young winner
1998, Toronto: 2.65 ERA, 1.095 WHIP, Cy Young winner
Well. That might just check out.
12:41 pm EST: Headline of an article on the Denver Post right now: "Mitchell report puts game on pins, needles."
Needles. Nice. The best part? Reading through the rest of the article, that appears to not even be a pun.
12:37 pm EST: Peter Gammons is making a whole hell of a lot of sense on ESPN right now. "Why did the sport have to drag this out and essentially besmirch the sport and the players?"
Good question, Pete.
12:03pm EST: Well, the first "preliminary" list is out, or so says lovemyteam.com.
Brady Anderson, Manny Alexander, Rick Ankiel, Jeff Bagwell, Barry Bonds, Aaron Boone, Rafael Betancourt, Bret Boone, Milton Bradley, David Bell, Dante Bichette, Albert Belle, Paul Byrd, Wil Cordero, Ken Caminiti, Mike Cameron, Ramon Castro, Jose and Ozz ie Canseco, Roger Clemens, Paxton Crawford, Wilson Delgado, Lenny Dykstra, Johnny Damon, Carl Everett, Kyle Farnsworth, Ryan Franklin, Troy Glaus, Rich Garces, Jason Grimsley, Troy Glaus, Jua n Gonzalez, Eric Gagne, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi, Jose Guillen, Jay Gibbons, Juan Gonzalez, Clay Hensley, Jerry Hairston, Felix Heredia, Jr., Darren Holmes, Wally Joyner, Darryl Kile, Matt Lawton, Raul Mondesi, Mark McGwire, Guillermo Mota, Robert Machado, Damian Moss, Abraham Nunez, Trot Nixon, Jose Offerman, Andy Pettitte, Mark Prior, Neifi Perez, Rafael Palmiero, Albert Pujols, Brian Roberts, Juan Rincon, John Rocker, Pudge Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Scott Schoenweiis, David Segui, Alex Sanchez, Gary Sheffield, Miguel Tejada, Julian Tavarez, Fernando Tatis, Maurice Vaughn, Jason Varitek, Ismael Valdez, Matt Williams and Kerry Wood.
Well then. Remember, this is "preliminary" – and even more important, I doubt there's solid proof about all of these guys. Just heresay and allegations, I'd think, though that won't stop the court of public opinion.
Initial thoughts are very few surprises at most of those names. The Dodgers seem to get off pretty lightly, except for Eric Gagne. Which, I mean, come on. Behind Brady Anderson and the McGwire/Bonds/Sosa trifecta, he was pretty high on my suspected list all along. Failed starter becomes best closer ever for 3 years becomes injury prone nightmare? He was juicing? NO!!
11:15am EST: Today's the big day! The day that every baseball fan dreams of. No, not Opening Day. No, not winning the World Series. No, not even that great Hot Stove day where your team signs for or trades for its next superstar.
No, today is Super Steroid Finger Pointing Day! Ahh, memories, just like when I was a kid. Back then, players didn't fool around with "HGH" or "the clear". They were sky-high on blow, and that's how we liked it, damn it!
Anyway, as New York City is being blanketed by some awful ice snow dealie, I've decided, what better way to waste a day off than to break out a good old steroid-fueled live blog? Wait, that came out wrong. We're off to a good start – we've already got rumors that Roger Clemens is going to be busted in this thing. The guy who was more effective at 45 than most players are at 25 was juicing? NO!
Also, I'm just as interested to see how all of the talking heads in the sports media respond to this – because you can be sure that they're all on RED ALERT today – because often, that's more entertaining than the story itself.
For example, I'm sure that ESPN will take a calm, measured response, with no sensationalistic qualities.
Oh boy. We're off to a great start here. More to come, starting 1pm EST.

When developers came to the Old North Durham Neighborhood Association (ONDNA) potluck in February 2007 and told them about their future buildings and businesses, the question asked was "Can we have a grocery store?" The answer was, "Sure... if you want one.... and you do the footwork." A group from OND formed with other interested people to see about just that: could we have a natural foods store/market/meeting place in our area? After conducting a feasibility study, the answer is yes, given the current and future residences and businesses in OND, Durham Central Park, downtown, and nearby neighborhoods. The grocery group then approached the Durham Food Coop (on Chapel Hill Street) with the question of taking up this project. It just so happened that, at the same time, the DFC was undergoing a discussion about the future of that organization, with the subject of relocating frequently surfacing. At that time the DFC board decided that the organization needed to focus on its current operations and would stay in its current location, but encouraged interested members to talk to the other neighborhoods to see what was out there. Thus, some members from DFC joined those from OND, and a new group was formed. In a spirit of cooperation our group moved forward to form its own vision: a cooperative for-profit business, based on the Weaver Street and Chatham Marketplace models. We gave it the name of Durham Central Market (DCM). The next step was to create bylaws which form the business's foundation. With bylaws in hand now we were fully incorporated, and kicked off our founding owner share drive at the Festival for the Eno 2008. Although anyone will be able to shop at the market, owner shares are a good faith investment in the community business and may provide additional benefits. As of March 2013, we have over 1150 owners.
Since those early days, we have worked on several scenarios for a possible location, including plans to build a store on a vacant lot off of Mangum Street, and expanding our initial search area to explore leasing pre-existing buildings in several downtown areas. In March of 2013, we are happy to announce that we have signed a letter of intent with Self-Help Ventures to occupy a space in an office building complex being developed at the corner of Kent and West Chapel Hill Street. The location will allow us to have a 10,000 square foot store with ample parking and green space, in an area that will be convenient to downtown Durham, Duke University, and nearby to neighborhoods such as West End, Burch Avenue, Lakewood, Morehead Hills, Duke Forest and Forest Hills. We are excited by the possibilities offered by this location, and by our partnership with Self-Help Ventures. The next steps in moving forward will be to complete our financing plan through a number of sources, including community and owners. We believe this is an investment in Durham that yields a triple bottom line. The dividends are economic, ecological, and social. You can help make it happen by becoming an owner, sharing this vision with your neighbors, and by participating in DCM community investment efforts. As a co-op owner of Durham Central Market, your voice and thoughts matter. We invite you to join us!
You can now become a Durham Central Market Owner via the website. We offer individual ownerships and business ownerships. Become an owner today by filling out the online DCM Ownership form and pay using a secure Paypal connection, and thanks!! If you would prefer, you can also fill out and print the individual ownership form (pdf) or business ownership form (pdf) and mail it in. Follow the instructions on the form.

In Barcelona, a 69-Foot Vertical Park
Primary School Uses Secondary Colors to Inspire Students
Welcome Wendy! First Photos of the 2012 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program
The Geodesic Dome Re-envisioned as "Sustainable" Luxury Hotel Suite!
'Vegitecture' is the unfortunate term Capella Garcia Arquitectura have coined to describe their striking vertical garden project in Barcelona. Completed last March, the massive 21-meter green wall is grafted onto the narrow end of a corner residential block and consists entirely of galvanized steel scaffolding that visually anchors the complex to the ground and boulevard beyond.
The prefabricated steel components were assembled on site independent of the adjacent building wall and configured into a stack of platform gardens, each of which has space for planters, built-in benches, and even fountains.
A series of internal staircases burrow upwards through the metal decks, connecting the ground and top floors without compromising the structure's form in the way that exterior stairs – typical of vertical gardens – would have done. An integrated pulley system simplifies circulation and transport of materials up and down the scaffolding, shrinking maintenance costs that could bankrupt similar-scale ventures. Additionally, an automated drip irrigation system monitors the garden's water consumption through controlled draining and fertilizer issued at programmed doses and intervals.
The living facade adds a vibrant touch to the neighborhood, while promoting a sustainable, green sensibility that's compatible with our present cities. It's effectiveness outweighs aesthetics, of course, acting as a vehicle for environmental change that simultaneously generates oxygen, absorbs CO2, insulates the neighboring apartments, and dampens street noise.

what this is saying, is your on 1.1.3 with nates leaked jailbreak method, but you lost every freakin feature 1.1.3 has to offer. u get the wiggle. but you lose sdk official app capabilities. YOU LOSER OFFICIAL SDK RELEASED APP CAPABILITIES. the official dev team release does not break this feature and allows sdk official apps and our 3rd party apps to co-exist side-by-side.Apparently Nate Trues soft upgrade for jailbreaking 1.1.3, also breaks the functionality of the coming Official SKD Applications iPhone Atlas interviewed the reputed iPhone developer Jonathan Zdziarsk, and he had some interesting things to say
You might want to think twice about applying the current iPhone 1.1.3 jailbreak soft-update (Mac or Windows) that was released (but not solely developed) by Nate True. Weve received word that the method may prevent installation of official third-party applications that will be created by the forthcoming iPhone SDK (software development kit) from Apple. The reason: this jailbreak method breaks Nikita, a component that is responsible for installing signed software. It appears that the current process is reversible, but almost certainly wont be able to co-exist with official third-party apps.
Nates leaked method does not do this, so all of you who stay on his jailbreak will learn soon enough why his method is garbage. if you dissagree with what im saying, its only a matter of time before all the threads start up saying "how come official apps wont work on my jailbroken iphone"
have a great day

Nuendo 6 — The whole world of audio post
Highlighting the world's most luxurious native mixing console, a complete ADR taker system and fully integrated EBU-compliant loudness metering, Nuendo 6 is the most advanced audio post-production environment available today. With a whole new workflow experience and seamless integration into the Nuage system, the sixth generation of Nuendo is a one-stop solution for audio-to-picture work.
Free video tutorials
Visit Steinberg's YouTube channel to watch in-depth Nuendo 6 video tutorials.
Grace Period update
Have you activated Nuendo 5.x on November 14, 2012, or later? Get a free Grace Period update!
The world's best in mixing
The most advanced mixing console ever made
Nuendo 6 sets new standards in mixing. The new mixing surface of Nuendo 6 provides instant access to all vital functions of the mixer thanks to a sleek single-window concept and allows for a multitude of visibility configurations and drag-and-drop functions for faster operation.
Other major improvements include the intuitive Quick Link system and Control Link groups to temporarily or permanently link entire channels or only specific parameters. The all-new View Sets store and recall any channel configuration as preset.
Each of the up to four different MixConsoles comes with its own channel visibility management, allowing you to define which channels you want to see and how they are arranged.
- All-new, high-quality mixing console for enhanced operational speed
- Extended channel visibility management
- Entirely scalable and dedicated full-screen mode
- Truly configurable with View Sets and Channel Zones
- Dynamic sends and inserts
- Quick Link system for intuitive linking of channel parameters
- New preset types for insert FX chains, group/FX channels and channel strip
- Customizable track icons
- Drag-and-drop support throughout the mixer
Time-savers for professionals
Nowadays the number of plug-ins can easily exceed 100, as Nuendo 6 already provides more than 70 high quality effects. The new mixing console provides fast access to the ever growing list of plug-ins and channels by incorporating an efficient search function.
Plus, the Nuendo only displays the number of insert slots used, which makes operation more focused on the essential functions. Voice, foley and music recordists will be happy to hear that we have also overhauled the Control Room, which is now nicely integrated.
- Channel and plug-in search function for even faster operation
- Optimized for mouse-free operation and accessible by blind reader software
- A/B comparison for all plug-ins and plug-in quick access mode
- Mixer overview provides mini peak meters for all channels
Nuendo 6 Channel Strip
The brand-new channel strip in Nuendo 6 offers several high-quality effects that turns your voice recordings, music and sound effects into a warm and expressive sound with richly nuanced dynamics.
From a complete set of high- and low-pass filters plus noise gate with sidechain support, over to different compressor types and a brickwall limiter — the new channel strip takes your mix to a whole new level.
At the same time, the Channel Strip is highly configurable. All modules can be rearranged through drag-and-drop in case a different processing chain is needed. All faders can be used in pre or post mode related to the insert FX rack.
- High- and low-pass filters plus 4-band StudioEQ with spectrum analyzer
- Noise Gate and 3 compressors (Easy, Tube and Vintage) with dedicated gain reduction meters and sidechain
- Envelope Shaper for full control across attack and release phase
- Brickwall limiter and Loudness Maximizer modules
- Drag and drop settings between channels and easily recall favorite settings
- Includes 150 presets for pro-sounding results
Lightning-fast parameter access
With the new Channel Settings window you can access all relevant channel parameters faster and more convenient than ever before. This central channel area gives you fast access to all channel parameters, including metering, routing assignments, EQ, dynamics, sends, cues and others.
Next to the sophisticated signal metering the new Channel Strip is displayed with StudioEQ with an integrated spectrum analyzer, a complete dynamics section with different modes, a virtual analog tube saturation preamp stage, essential aux and cue sends.
- Full access to all Channel Strip modules and insert FX rack
- Professional level metering
- Convenient setup of FX sends and cue mixes
- Easy preset management for individual effect processors or whole signal chains
- Customize the signal path by simple drag-and-drop operations
Voxengo CurveEQ
With the versatile 64-band CurveEQ you can simply transfer the sound characteristics of an audio track to another. Whether you're working on TV series with recurring sound elements or voice recordings that need to be adapted to each other — CurveEQ's professional-grade spectrum analyzer allows you to display, save and load static spectrum plots for comparison and matching purposes. You can compare different EQ curves, copy them between different tracks and choose the right combination via A/B comparison capabilities.
MixConvert V6 — downmixing better than ever
Due to its unmatched downmixing quality, MixConvert has gained amazing recognition in former versions of Nuendo. MixConvert V6 goes further and enables you to realize configurations of up to 10.2 surround. Take control over LFE, center and surround level. Select different output speaker arrangements such as the industry-standard formats 5.1 or 7.1. The solo/mute function is available for specific channels and thus allows for an individual downmix.
A revolution in panning and upmixing
Anymix Pro 1.3 by IOSONO
The revolutionary panning functions of Anymix Pro 1.3 by IOSONO enable you to create surround mixes that stand apart from the competition. Anymix Pro includes distant-dependent loudness and EQ settings that are automatically adjusted when the signal is moved within the listening space. Thus, all natural changes in loudness and timbre are perfectly reproduced — without the need for EQ or volume automation.
At the same time Anymix Pro includes high-quality upmix functions that allow you to upmix to 8.1 without compromises in quality. You cannot only seamlessly scale the presence of the original audio material in the upmixed signal, but also determine how much of the direct signal and the ambience of the original source will pass through the surround mix.
- The world's most enhanced panning and upmixing algorithm
- Natural-sounding upmix algorithm with parameters such as Ambience and Direct signal
- More than a dozen presets with different upmix modes included
- Ultra-real panning with automatic distant-dependent loudness and EQ adjustment
- Many additional parameters of the panning curve definable
Loudness — under control
Fully integrated loudness metering solution
The metering section in Nuendo 6 has been rebuilt from scratch. Next to the large-scale volume meter, that is also capable of showing multi-channel surround signals, you'll find the new loudness metering section.
In the past years the loudness level especially in TV advertising has been increased dramatically. Particularly commercial breaks differ clearly from other parts of the TV program. In order to harmonize the loudness level and to achieve a higher dynamic range — and not a higher peak level or an increased compression rate — the new EBU R128 loudness norm has been introduced.
The loudness meter in Nuendo 6 is capable of displaying Integrated, Momentary and Short Term loudness. This enables you to keep track of the loudness of your audio material in order to ensure to mix after EBU-standards .
Setting new standards — Nuendo 6 Loudness Lane
Nuendo 6 sets new standards in loudness measurement. While common loudness tools only show specific values in real-time, Nuendo 6 writes a loudness curve on a separate track-based on short-term loudness, which dramatically helps to judge if the mix is EBU-compliant. Loud and quiet scenes can now be mixed with unmatched precision, adding that extra finesse to your audio material that makes it well balanced.
ADR Taker System
Complete voice recording solution
Enhance your productivity and workflow with the all-new ADR Taker System. Nuendo 6 provides a fully equipped solution for ADR & language dubbing, making recording of voices efficient and convenient.
Nuendo 6 facilitates the process of dialog recordings by offering several video count-in techniques, such as swipe and countdown, assuring everything is being recorded to the point. Thanks to the ability of importing take lists into marker/cue lists, the dialog can overlay the picture, directly within Nuendo 6. This not only speeds up voice recordings and offers the artist more freedom to perform — it also enhances the quality of your work and saves time and money.
- Complete ADR Taker System environment
- Various scene filter options
- Up to 32 marker tracks with user-definable attributes
- Efficient management of multiple roles
- Dedicated recording panel with three production methods
- Video count-in techniques such as swipe and countdown
- Dialog video overlay thanks to the import of take lists
- EDL list import
A complete professional environment
MemZap teleports you throughout the project
These days' projects can easily contain hundreds of tracks, dozens of plug-ins and a multitude of automation curves. Jumping to different working areas within a project is one of those things that cost a lot of expensive production time. That's why we have developed MemZap — store exact positions and even zoom factors within the project and jump to them quickly by defining individual key commands.
Global collaboration with VST Connect SE
Steinberg's VST Connect SE technology allows other musicians connect directly to Nuendo users, giving you the freedom to collaborate and produce together, even when you're not in the same studio, town or country. Talkback and chat functions as well as video and audio stream in real time give you limitless possibilities.
Remote Control Editor
The Remote Control Editor lets you visually customize the parameter layout of individual effects and instruments on your control surface. By selecting a hardware knob, fader or button on your control surface you can easily determine which parameter should be controlled within the software.
Invaluable: Steinberg ASIO Guard
The Steinberg audio engine has not only been extended with comprehensive mixing capabilities, there's also our brand-new ASIO Guard technology that gives you that extra safety cushion while working on even the most demanding projects. Rely on our intelligent dropout-prevention algorithms and focus only on your sound — just like in the analog days.
Steinberg recommends HP computers
Nuendo 6 is quality-tested with HP's professional Z-series workstation computers, guaranteeing highest performance and maximum reliability packed in a rock-solid chassis. Be it the industry-proven Intel XEON processors or the ultra-fast SSD drives — HP Z-machines make the best out of Nuendo and speed up your whole studio software environment.
Chegou a hora!
The time has come! Nuendo 6 provides the entire user interface in Portuguese. We welcome our Portuguese-speaking friends from around the world! Over 250 million people on this planet speak Portuguese — this is reason enough to localize the world's most advanced audio post-production system.
Pro Sound Effects Library – 1.5 GB of professional post-production sounds
Nuendo 6 comes with a compact but powerful library created by the sound specialists at Pro Sound Effects, New York. The library contains of more than 1.5 GB of sound effects (24-bit/48kHz Wave files) that spans from ambiences to whooshes.

RENO — Carmin Aguilar, a senior at the University of Nevada, Reno, loves her job at CapGemini, a local project management consulting firm. She gets to interact with clients, develop an interface for the state and apply the skills she learned as an information systems major in college.
And, like anything prone to the whim of love, Aguilar's relationship with her job is not secure. She's an intern — a paid intern, but an intern nonetheless.
"I love my internship," she said. "I actually got extended. I was supposed to be done in August, but I got extended."
Still, Aguilar's position seems stable. The company has asked her to stay on board for an indefinite amount of time, which Aguilar hopes will translate into an eventual paying job.
Students similar to Aguilar can be found in cubicles, newsrooms and worksites scattered across the Reno-Sparks area. Some do it because they want to learn more about the field they are studying. Others do it because their college department requires it of them. Aguilar belongs to the former group.
"I absolutely believe it's important," she said. "I think it's essential. People need the experience, especially with this economy. If you can distinguish yourself because you already have experience, that gives you better odds of getting hired."
Aguilar said she worried about landing an internship for years. Her anxiety led her to Jane Bessette, director of career services for UNR's College of Business, whom she referred to as the "go-to" person within her college about internships.
Bessette, who has been with the department for 10 years, described her job as being more than just linking students from point A to point B.
"I coordinate internships with business students, help students with job strategies, résumé critiques, interviewing skills … I do the whole gamut," she said.
In addition to planning a university-wide internship fair each year and maintaining a job board for her college's members, Bessette holds a networking event, "Competitive Edge," in which local employers hold mock interviews, advise students how to make good impressions and edit resumes. They even counsel students about their office attire.
Why does Bessette place such an emphasis on internships? She believes there have numerous benefits.
"One, a student can try out the workplace," she said. "Two, they can see whether they are suited for that kind of work. Three, it begins to give them something to build their resume with. … Four, they make connections in the workplace."
Even if the internship is a flop, Bessette said, the experience can provide the student with insight going forward.
"Sometimes finding out what you don't like to do can be just as important as finding out what you want to do," she said.
This is something Warren Lerude, professor emeritus at the Donald W. Reynolds School of Journalism at UNR, agrees with implicitly.
"Sometimes an intern finds out they wouldn't be caught dead in what they were doing," Lerude said. "They go in and discover it's just not for them."
Lerude, the 1977 Pulitzer Prize laureate, has manned the journalism school's internship program for 30 years. Prior to that, he was the editor of two Reno newspapers, where he hired multiple interns.
"(Internships are) absolutely, vitally important," he said, adding that his college requires students to have an internship before they can receive their degree. "… It provides an opportunity for the student to take what they've learned in the RSJ classrooms and take it to their job."
But internships aren't just window-dressing for résumés. According to John Fox, CEO of the local renewable energy company ElectraTherm, an employee can't get a job without some experience to their name.
"Real-world experience versus book knowledge is completely different," Fox said. "It's good to have a foundation of what you learn in college, but how you apply it is more important."
Fox has had 12 interns since he joined the company more than a year ago.
"It's hard to pick someone from a resume with a 30-minute interview," he said. "References are important, but internships are entry-level. That has to happen."
