Land Use
Historical Land Use
Even though the French laid claim to area as early as 1682, Native Americans of the Missouri, Osage, Fox and Sac tribes were in undisputed possession of northern Missouri until the United States took ownership in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase (Klein and Daley 1974, NRCS 1995, NRCS 1997). Beginning in 1804, Native Americans made a series of treaties that eventually relinquished their claims to land in Missouri. Development of the Salt River basin, so named because of its numerous salt springs and licks, proceeded rapidly following the War of 1812. White settlers came mostly from Kentucky and Tennessee, and agriculture quickly became the area's economic base.
Current boundaries for most counties in the basin were established between 1820 and 1836. Human population of the region grew rapidly until about 1920 and then began to decline. For example, the population of Shelby County from 1900 to 1990 fell from 16,167 to 6,942. Most other counties exhibited similar demographic trends.
Much of the presettlement landscape of the basin was prairie (Schroeder 1982). The proportion of prairie land in Macon, Shelby, Monroe, Ralls, and Audrain counties ranged from 38% to 74%. The most notable presettlement prairie in the basin was the Grand Prairie which covered nearly all of Audrain County and portions of Monroe, Ralls, and Pike counties. This prairie, once covered with massive expanses of native blue stem grass and roaming grounds for bison, elk and other wildlife, rapidly diminished with onset of row cropping and livestock grazing in the early 1800's. In 1865, just 10% of the land in Audrain County was cultivated. Currently, nearly 90% of the land is cultivated (NRCS 1995). Narrow, ridge prairies were also found throughout the basin in upland areas between stream valleys, and wet, bottom-land prairies occurred on most floodplains. Wooded areas were usually limited to steeper hills and along streams.
Although agriculture has been the main economic base of the basin, mineral resources also contributed significantly to the economic development of the basin (Klein and Daley 1974). Mining activities have included coal, sand and gravel, limestone, shale, and fire clay. At one time Audrain County was a world leader in the production of refractory brick (NRCS 1995).
Recent Land Use
Estimates of recent land use were determined from the 1992 National Resources Inventory conducted by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS 1992). Similar to other basins in northeast Missouri, 70% of the land in the Salt River basin is used for agricultural purposes (Figures Lu01, Lu02, Lu03). Half of the land is cultivated for crops. Only about 14% of the land is forested. Interestingly, cultivated cropland decreased by 102,900 acres and forest land increased by 36,100 acres from 1982 through 1992.
Crop production reports for Adair, Audrain, Monroe, Ralls, and Shelby counties indicate that soybeans are the most important field crop in terms of acres harvested (Missouri Agricultural Statistics Service 1996). Corn and wheat rank second and third. Audrain County is among the state's top producers of soybeans, wheat, and sorghum. Annual livestock production in the above five counties during 1996 ranged from about 18,500 to 39,000 head of cattle and 6,600 to 101,000 hogs. Audrain and Shelby counties are among the state's top swine producers.

May 6, 2016
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A group of Republican lawmakers want to get rid of the costly runoffs that usually draw less than 10 percent of North Carolina voters.
A House bill would allow the top-vote getter to win a party's primary no matter what. Currently, a candidate needs at least 40 percent of the vote to win a primary outright. Otherwise, the top two candidates go to a runoff.
The bill's lead sponsor Dennis Riddell of Snow Camp said runoffs waste millions and bring out few voters.
Last year, 35 percent of voters turned out for May primaries, while turnout for the July runoffs was less than 4 percent.
Critics of the proposal say the current system is designed to prevent candidates in a crowded field to win a party's nomination with slim support.

In the Shadow of Zekrom is the first episode of Pokémon: Black and White, where Ash and Pikachu get ready to start a new journey in the Unova region. Ash also gets a new outfit, like in previous seasons.
Episode Plot
Ash excitedly arrives in the Unova region along with Pikachu, his mom, and Professor Oak. Meanwhile, Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni, has given them an important assignment in the Unova region. As Jessie, James, and Meowth prepare for their new assignment, Professor Oak introduces Ash to Professor Juniper, one of the top researchers in Unova.
Suddenly, a dark storm cloud appears, and Pikachu is hit with a massive amount of electricity! Professor Juniper does a quick examination of Pikachu, but she doesn't seem to find anything wrong. Later on, however, when Ash battles a budding new Trainer named Trip and his first Pokémon Snivy, Pikachu can't use any Electric-type moves!
Back at Professor Juniper's lab, we learn that Pikachu is still suffering the effects of the lightning strike during the thunderstorm. Just as Professor Juniper reaches her conclusion, the same dark cloud appears as suddenly as before! The professor then recounts the story of the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom, and everyone wonders if it could be responsible for the mysterious disappearance of Pikachu's Electric-type powers. Will Pikachu ever be able to use those powers again?
Human Characters
Pokémon Characters
- "There, perfect." - Delia after straightening Ash's hat.
- Professor Oak: "Let's hit the road."
Ash: "Why are you dressed like that?"
Professor Oak: "Oh this? To get everyone in the vacationing mood. It's been years since I visited the Unova Region."
Delia: "But this is work related, right Professor?"
Professor Oak: "Yes, but when I'm inbetween conferences it's my time. So in you go."
Ash: "You heard what he said, right Pikachu?"
Pikachu: "Pikachu."
- Giovanni: "Now once again, what is Team Rocket's number one goal?"
Jessie: "Sir! Our goal is to capture powerful Pokémon."
James: "Pokemon that are powerful and rare."
Meowth: "And to use them to take over the world."
- Jessie: "Hmmm. Imagine running into the twerp at a time like this."
Meowth: "And the world's most powerful Pikachu too. With Pikachu we can't lose."
James: "A win straight out of the box. Here's to success."
- "We're Here Pikachu!"- Ash taking his first steps in the Unova Region
- "Pikachu, what's up?" - Ash
- "Never seen that before." - Ash about Alomomola
- "That was cool! I wonder if there are anymore?"- Ash
- "Hey who are you guys?" - Ash
- Jessie: ""Who are you?" is the question indeed."
James: "We'll answer you if we feel the need."
- Ash: "Team Rocket what are you doing here?"
James: "I'll ask you the same question."
James: "Wasted effort."

- "Pikachu are you o.k?" - Ash
- Professor Juniper: "Oh Proesser Oak."
Ash: "Huh?"
Professor Oak: "What do you know. Professor Juniper."
Professor Juniper: "I'm sorry I was so late. How are you getting on after that huge thunderstorm?"
Professor Oak: "We're just fine Professor, thank you. I'd like you to meet Professor Juniper, and don't let the youthfulness of one of the most important Unova Region researchers fool you."
Professor Juniper: "Pleasure to meet you."
- "Pokemon we've never seen before." - Ash about the Unova Pokémon
- Professor Juniper: "So, this is Nuvema Town."
Ash: "Nuvema Town."
Professor Juniper: "My Laboratory's just up ahead."
- "According to Ash, Pikachu was completely enveloped inside a powerful, electric field. Still, I see no evidence of any problems." - Professor Juniper's diagnosis of Ash's Pikachu.
- You see Ash, one of Professor Juniper's numerous duties is to give all new trainers in the Unova Region their starter Pokémon." - Professor Oak.
- "Awesome! Starter Pokémon!" - Ash
- "See, I was just thinking that a guy like you came from the boonies." - Trip about Ash.
- "Come on, today is your first day as a trainer! So it's a happy day!" -Professor Juniper
- "Now, you can choose your partner from among these three types. The first is Tepig, a fire type!" - Professor Juniper
- "That's a fire type. Nice and fiery." - Ash about Tepig.
- "Up next here's Oshawott, a water type." -Professor Juniper.
- "Awwww, aren't you the cutest?" - Ash about Oshawott.
- "Finally, Snivy, a grass type." - Professor Juniper.
- "Cool, this one's got plenty of confidence." - Ash about Snivy.
- "Osha..." - Oshawott shocked that Trip didn't choose him
- "Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon. Cool, calm and collected, Snivy uses photosynthesis to collect energy with the leaf on its tail" - Unova Pokédex.
- "Yeah, that's basic." - Trip
- "All right Snivy, so let's get this journey started." - Trip
- "Have a great journey good luck!" - Professor Juniper
- "Who's that Pokémon?" - Trip
- "Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Pikachu's tail is sometimes struck by lightning as it raises it to check its surroundings." - Unova Pokédex
- "Snivy, go get 'em now!" - Trip calling out Snivy.
- Ash: "Why are you always taking pictures?"
Trip takes some pictures.
Trip: "I'm recording my journey, and remember this is Snivy's first battle."
Ash: "And this is our first battle in the Unova Region, so we'll go first."
- "Okay, is this some kind of strategy? Calling moves that you can't even use?" - Trip
- "That again." - Iris
- Professor Juniper: "Could the source of those clouds be Zekrom? The legendary Pokémon?"
Ash: "Zekrom?"
Professor Juniper: "Zekrom's quite a legend in these parts. From within its thundercloud, Zekrom watches over people and Pokémon. And its lightning bolts, are said to be judgments from up above and they're also the pillars that hold up the skies."
- "Who's that Pokémon?" returns after being on hiatus since the end of season 6, and the first of many of these is the new Unova region Pokémon Pidove.
- The Deerling in this episode were in Spring Form indicating that the episode takes place in springtime.
- Lisa Ortiz returns as a regular for the BW series providing the voice of Oshawott as well as the voice of the Pokédex.
- Marc Thompson returns to voice Tepig, while Jason Griffith also returns to do the voice of Trip's Snivy.
- The flight number Ash took from Kanto to Unova was "Flight 151" referencing the original 151 Pokémon.
- Pikachu's ears are at both sides, but in one scene only one of his ears were black and the other one was colored completely yellow.
- The Japanese narrator starts off as they do at the beginning of the series and movies by explaining what 'Pokémon' stands for. The English dub skips the 'Pocket Monsters' explanation part.
English Narrator: The Pokémon world! Japanese Narrator: Pocket Monsters, "Pokémon" for short. (ナレーター): ポケットモンスター 縮めてポケモン。
- Sakaki in the Japanese original specifically states that the plan is to 'take over the world'. Giovanni in the English dub just states that the Unova region is vital to completing Team Rocket's plan.
Giovanni: A major new stepping-stone that will move us toward the successful completion of our plan. Sakaki: This place is to become a new foothold in our plan to conquer the world. (サカキ): 我がロケット団世界征服計画の新たな足がかりとなる場所だ。
- The English dub added an extra line for the Air Traffic Control man.
Air Traffic Control: You are cleared for landing.
- The reference to the thundercloud being like God's eye (神の目) was removed from the English dub.
Professor Juniper: From within its thundercloud, Zekrom watches over people and Pokémon. Professor Araragi: The huge thundercloud is a god's eye protecting people and Pokémon. (アララギ): 巨大な雷雲は人とポケモンを見守る神の目。
- The 'Who's that Pokémon?' segment returns as the commercial eye catch in the English dub.

Congress authorized the project known as Dickey-Lincoln in 1965 at a cost of $219 millio, but mounting opposition finally killed in several years later.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ It was three decades ago this year that a massive hydroelectric project along northern Maine's scenic and wild St. John River was abandoned after a prolonged fight by opponents, cost overruns and erosion of support from the state's congressional delegation.
Congress authorized the project known as Dickey-Lincoln in 1965 at a cost of $219 million. But through the years, its cost escalated, eventually reaching more than $900 million by the early 1980s. That covered two power dams and transmission lines from them.
With elected officials' support fraying and environmentalists and sporting enthusiasts battling the project, it was scaled back to a $175 million venture called Lincoln School.
But finally, in 1984, then-Sen. George Mitchell said he could no longer "in good conscience'' support even Lincoln School. The project was shelved.

Elkhart man convicted on charges of dealing in cocaine
GOSHEN — An Elkhart man facing multiple charges was convicted Tuesday afternoon at Circuit Court of three counts of child neglect and two counts of dealing in cocaine.
A trial jury appointed for Hervey Clanton's case deliberated for less than 30 minutes before returning with the verdict.
Clanton, 25, of 921 Madison St., Elkhart, was charged with two counts of dealing in cocaine, three counts of neglect of a dependent and one count of possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.
He was arrested June 13, 2012, at 1212 Midtown Court, Apt. 84, during a search warrant, following a short-term investigation by the Elkhart Police Department's Drug Unit.
On Tuesday afternoon, Clanton admitted to the count of possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon before both parties' final arguments. Clanton was found guilty on all of the other five counts.
On Monday, jury selection was held in the morning and lasted until about 2 p.m. It was followed briefly by opening arguments. Two witnesses, Detective Jeff Eaton and a source who acted undercover when the Elkhart Drug Unit conducted controlled purchases.
During trial, the jury heard testimony from four members of the Elkhart Police Department's Drug Unit, a source working undercover who made controlled purchases of cocaine and a woman with whom Clanton has three children in common.
Chelsey Nusbaum, 25, was arrested the same day as Clanton during the search warrant. She recently pleaded guilty to two counts of child neglect and is scheduled for her sentencing hearing Feb. 21. She was released after her plea hearing she had already served her possible sentence through credit time in jail.
During testimony, Nusbaum denied knowing anything about Clanton's drug activity. She told the court Clanton did not live with her at the time, but he sometimes stayed over to sleep and he would look after their children.
The jury also saw videos of two controlled purchases conducted by the police department's Drug Unit on May 29 and June 6, 2012, as well as video of an attempted controlled purchase, where they could see Clanton answering the door of the apartment that was later searched.
Other evidence presented to the jury included a handgun, scales and a glass bong, all of which were collected from the search warrant. According to the officers who testified, the handgun was loaded and was found on the second shelf of a closet, within reach of at least the oldest of three children who lived in the residence.
Clanton stated Monday evening that he wished to represent himself. After signing a waiver of attorney and a demand to proceed pro se, he was appointed a standby defender.
Tuesday morning, however, Clanton told the court he wanted his attorney to be reinstated. His attorney, public defender Peter Todd, stepped back in to defend him.

I haven't played in the past week but I'm on the top 30 players in GMS.
As for your answers saying that my statements are false (I'm gonna go backwards) -
1. it's literally impossible to fight the end-game bosses unless you're not just a paying cust****, but a VERY VERY HIGH paying cust****. Tons and tons of potential cubes, buying the TIMED extra pendant slots, character slots, etc. You need to buy about $500+ worth of Cash shop miracle circulators to get your inner potential to Legendary... etc., This is just stuff to PARTICIPATE in end game. Not sure why you're just saying FALSE! without explaining why it's false. Good luck fighting Hard/Chaos anything without dropping a few thousand
2. --Maple Story IS one of those games with an extremely low population--, first of all
Also, when I say that has more hackers than a random shooting game or GunZ, etc., I'm talking % wise.
3. You do get put back on the rankings now after a botting or hacking ban actually
4. Actually they have had several Second Chance events where they unbanned all the perm banned hackers, not sure why you'd say it's false.
btw if you don't believe that I'm a top player in the GMS rankings I will go on and whisper you because * I LOVE OnRPG!!! * but honestly it's not something to brag about, all your stats & skills cap at 200 and it's a pointless achievement

You've heard of hot cars being sold to unsuspecting buyers? Well, what about wet cars?
We're talking about flood-damaged cars, vehicles that can still have lingering, moisture-related problems long after the water has been drained and the carpets vaccumed and shampooed.
These waterlogged lemons can have electrical problems and other glitches that don't show up for months after a purchase. In some cases, the water damage can pose safety concerns.
And in Colorado, after the epic floods in September, there are lots and lots of flood-damaged cars.
Yet, as The Denver Post's Aldo Svaldi reported recently, Colorado only requires cars five years old or newer to carry a salavage designation if they have been declared totaled.
The average age of a vehicle in Colorado, though, is 11 years, so many vehicles could be sold without any disclosure that they were totaled.
What's more, Colorado doesn't require a salvage designation to differentiate between a car totaled in a collision and one that has been totaled as a result of water damage.
State Rep. Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial, is considering legislation to address these issues.
Colorado had already been one of several states known as a good place to send water-damaged cars, according to a story in The New York Times earlier this year that detailed what was happening to vehicles damaged in Hurricane Sandy.
Vehicle history information provider Carfax estimates there were 100,000 water-damaged vehicles from Hurricane Sandy that ended up back on the road. Some likely made it to Colorado, where cars could have their titles re-registered without any indication of flood damage — a process known as "title washing."
Any potential legislation should address the five-year window on salvage designations as well as require clear disclosure that a vehicle may be flood-damaged.
We understand insurers may have concerns that these vehicles they've declared totaled would suddenly get a scarlet letter and plunge in resale value, but we think the interest to consumers in knowing what they're getting is worth the transparency.
Car dealers in Colorado would also benefit from knowing what they're selling, avoiding needless disputes down the road with disgruntled customers.
After tragic floods, Coloradans shouldn't get soaked by wet cars.

In 2013, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph Cermet timepiece is writing a new chapter in the field of underwater exploration: its illustrious ancestry is matched by a peerlessly reliable movement endowed with signature Jaeger-LeCoultre functions, while its case embodies an exceptional technological breakthrough.
An instrument intended for professionals
This timepiece is professional in more than one aspect, since it meets all the criteria laid down for diver's watches in the ISO 6425 standard. It has a unidirectional rotating bezel, while the luminescent hands and hour-markers enable easy and error-free indication readings, even in poor visibility conditions. This timepiece water-resistant to 10 bar (100 metres) is designed to guarantee absolute reliability in an aquatic environment, its solid caseback is adorned with an engraving of a frogman surrounded by bubbles. The diver's watch is teamed with a calfskin strap complete with a varnished edge ensuring it remains fully impermeable, whatever the circumstances.
An icon gets a facelift with a brand-new case
The case also calls for specific attention: despite its generous 44 mm diameter, it conveys a surprising sense of lightness on the wrist.It is more resistant to shocks and pressure than pure ceramics, an asset that divers are sure to appreciate to the full. Moreover, its ceramic protective layer is more resistant to scratching than steel.
A distinctive Jaeger-LeCoultre feature
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph Cermet is driven by mechanical automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 758 housing a balance oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and incorporates the latest results of the research conducted by the Manufacture in the realm of anti-shock protection. Crafted, assembled and decorated by hand, this movement ensures a 65-hour power reserve. On the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph Cermet diver's watch, a chronograph operating indicator composed of two discs contributes to enhancing diver's safety by enabling them to check at a glance whether the chronograph is running, stopped or reset. This specific feature is inspired by a historical Jaeger-LeCoultre model: the Chronoflight.
In celebrating its 180th anniversary in 2013, Jaeger-LeCoultre has chosen to hark back to one of the finest chapters in its history by turning the spotlight on a creation radiating an aesthetic and technical perfection that pays tribute to the multiple skills cultivated within the Grande Maison.

When word arrived that a number of students and adults had been gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., the staff at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) recognized the need to offer immediate support to that town's school board.
So, by the next morning, a crisis communications expert on contract with CABE was in Newtown to help school leaders with the media frenzy that descended on the school system—and to help provide whatever comfort and reassurances the district could provide to a shocked and distraught community.
"She was with the superintendent through most of Saturday [the day after the shooting]," says CABE Executive Director Robert J. Rader. "We also reached out to the school district that was going to take in some of those kids from Sandy Hook," which was closed immediately after the shootings.
Meeting the needs of school boards was clearly on the minds of state school boards associations across the nation in the aftermath of the Dec. 14 shootings, the deadliest mass killing at a K-12 public school since a 1927 bombing in Bath, Mich. At Sandy Hook, 20 children—ages 6 and 7—and six adults died at the hands of a 20-year-old armed with an assault rifle and two handguns.
None was as proactive in the hours after the tragic shootings, however, than CABE, whose headquarters is only 50 miles from Sandy Hook.
In addition to offering its services to the Newtown school board, CABE rushed to post a "Dealing with Tragedy" webpage that listed resources for school boards seeking guidance on how to talk to students and parents about the shootings, as well as tips for dealing with the media and reviewing school safety measures. The new webpage was posted by Sunday evening, about 48 hours after association officials first learned of the shootings.
"We wanted people to have this information before school started on Monday," Rader says.
In days following the shootings, many state associations found the most immediate need of local school leaders was to reassure the public that their community schools were safe—and that sound security practices were in place in each school.
Mirroring the quick response of CABE, the Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) quickly posted a new webpage with a list of more than 50 online resources that school boards could access to help them with school safety issues and to respond to student, staff, and parent concerns about the shootings.
"We sent [a notice of the list] to every superintendent, every school board member, every school communications person that we had emails for in the state," says Brad Hughes, director of member support services director for KSBA.
KSBA also provided regular reports on its online news service about media coverage of the shootings and how Kentucky school boards were responding to the incident. The goal, Hughes said, was to allow school officials to learn more about how their peers statewide were handling media attention and public concerns.
In Colorado, where school safety has been on the minds of school officials since the tragic 1999 shootings at Columbine High School, school boards are well versed in school safety issues and haven't expressed much concern about reviewing their school safety plans, says Kristine Woolley, director of communications for the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB).
The most immediate concern among school leaders was to reassure the public about the safety of their schools, she says. Much of the communications among local school districts has taken place on a private list serve of school public relations directors.
"They are the ones who are information-sharing," she says. "It's a pretty active group. They've been talking: 'I've got this issue in my district,' and everybody jumps on board with 'This is what we did in the past' and 'Here's as sample of what we did' or 'Here's how we responded.'"
The Missouri School Boards Association (MSBA) and the Missouri Department of Public Safety established the Missouri Center for Education Safety a few years ago. This partnership provides school safety expertise and resources to Missouri school districts. It is headed up by Paul Fennewald, the former director of the Missouri Office of Homeland Security. Brent Ghan, chief communications officer for MSBA interviewed Fennewald this week. The interview is posted on the MSBA website and on YouTube.
The Massachusetts Association of School Committees also has made available information about school safety issues, says Michael Gilbert, a MASC field director who consults with school boards. He says much of the conversation he's heard among school leaders has centered on what steps schools already have taken to improve school safety—and the need to communicate that to the public.
One reason the state's school officials are more confident in speaking to the public was that a new state mandate required an update of school security measures to include a first-response plan involving police, fire, and medical agencies, he says.
"Following Columbine, I watched the overreaction of many of our school boards to the immediacy of some of the information that came from that tragedy," he says. For example, after some media accounts reported the shooters had worn trench coats, some school boards started banning these coats from schools.
"I'm not seeing that type of overreaction today," Gilbert says. "I think our members are being much more thoughtful."
In Pennsylvania, most school boards appear to have matters well in hand, says Steve Robinson, director of public relations for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA). "Many school districts have been proactive in contacting parents in some way, whether through automated calling systems or postings on their websites—just to remind parents of what procedures exist, to alleviate the fears that parents have, to remind them that their schools are safe."
The similar experience is reported by the New York State School Boards Association, where Deputy Director of Communications Barbara Bradley says there hasn't been an "uptick in calls" since the shootings.
"We saw that school districts were being proactive in getting messages out to their communities—that they were reviewing their security measures and making sure everything was in place," she says. "And they're reassuring parents in the community that the schools were safe."
One of the more positive responses to the Sandy Hook tragedy came a few days after the shootings when OSBA was invited by state Attorney General Mike DeWine to participate in a new state initiative to review school safety.
"It's encouraging that the Ohio Attorney General's Office reached out to us and wants to include us in the conversation," says OSBA Executive Director Richard Lewis.
As it happens, OSBA has developed a new school safety consulting program, led by the former head of the National Association of School Resource Officers. It's a program that Lewis says was garnering interest from school boards even before the Sandy Hook tragedy.
"I suspect this is going to create so many conversations," he says. "So many people are going to be looking for answers and solutions."
One issue that OSBA hopes will be part of the conversation is the need to expand mental health services—for both students and community members, Lewis says. "We think that a key to school safety isn't so much about coming up with more plans for school lockdowns and evacuations … but rather to spend some time on prevention."
That thinking already is a part of the conversation in Connecticut, Rader says. CABE has met with a number of education associations and business community representatives to talk about their position on issues that might arise in the next state legislative session. One of those issues is likely to be the access and funding available for mental health services.
"We have a list serve of our school board chairs, and they've been discussing these issues and what they want to do in their own districts."
State association officials say the repercussions of Sandy Hook will not be fully clear for some time. But many report a gratifying sense of camaraderie and mutual support among school boards across the nation. OSBA, for example, shared a message with CABE and the Newtown school board that an Ohio school board member—whose district also had endured a school shooting—was passing along her email and telephone number if she could help.
"It speaks volumes about the compassion that school board members have for one another," Lewis says.

Mordaunt-Short Performance 2 review
Five years in the making, the standmount partner to Mordaunt-Short's elegant Performance series is finally here
Five years in the making, the standmount partner to Mordaunt-Short's elegant Performance series is finally here
Bare with me. I have a dear chum who's house I frequent for the odd blokey evening of music and jazz video (that's TV with the sound down) while we put the world to rights and drink shandy. Time and again, exactly as if I had never noticed before, I find myself exclaiming how bloody good his simple two-channel hi-fi system sounds.
Mordaunt-Short has long been known, first and foremost, for its high-value budget loudspeakers, a tradition that current owners Audio Partnership has rigorously maintained. However, developing an upmarket 'flagship' range makes good sense, as it provides a technology test bed for new ideas that can subsequently 'trickle down' into more affordable models.
Since Audio Partnership (AP) bought Mordaunt-Short a decade ago, most of its efforts have concentrated on developing and refining the budget price Avant models, but it also found time to create the hi-tech Performance models with several advanced features. Now some Performance initiatives have 'trickled down' in rather more affordable form in a new Mezzo range.
Mordaunt-Short has crafted an enviable reputation in the world of sub/sat speaker systems. Both its Premier and Genie packages have been universally well-received, but compared with the new Alumni, they now just seem lacking
Performance and affordability are key requirements for anyone seeking out a home cinema speaker package, and Mordaunt-Short seem to have struck the right balance with its new Alumni speaker range
Operating alongside electronics brands like Cambridge Audio, Mordaunt-Short has been an integral part of Audio Partnership for a number of years.
Mordaunt-Short, alongside brands like Cambridge Audio, has been part of Audio Partnership (AP) for a number of years. M-S products are now sold around the world, with Marantz handling UK distribution.
Mordaunt-Short's Avant 908i might look very similar to the Avant 906i from HFC 281, but the resemblance is largely superficial. The difference is clear when one attempts to lift this senior model from its carton

Mining our Mountains
In Appalachia, mining companies literally blow the tops off mountains to reach thin seams of coal. They then dump millions of tons of rubble and toxic waste into the streams and valleys below the mining sites.
This destructive practice, known as mountaintop-removal mining, has damaged or destroyed nearly 2,000 miles of streams and threatens to destroy 1.4 million acres of mountaintops and forests by 2020. The mining poisons drinking water, destroys beautiful, biodiverse forests and wildlife habitat, increases the risk of flooding, and wipes out entire communities.
Who Gets Hurt
Mountaintop-removal mining pollutes waterways and allows toxic heavy metals such as cadmium, selenium, and arsenic to leach into local water supplies that Appalachia's people rely on. But the danger isn't limited to drinking water. Mountaintop removal also causes air pollution that affects communities for miles around. Many of the toxins that pollute mountaintop-removal sites are carcinogens, and cancer rates are twice as high for people who live near mountaintop-removal sites.
The Future of Mountaintop Removal
Ending mountaintop-removal mining and transitioning to clean energy will benefit Appalachia by creating good jobs in the clean-energy and tourism industries and by improving public health.

It looks really nice, just wish it were at higher resolution so I could see some more of the detail.
I think I have a lot of work to go, but I was enjoying seeing other people's work and thought I would share some of my own.
This file is drastically reduced in size and has many layers taken off - labels for city names and forests and the like - since they would be too small to read at this resolution anyways.
I am still tinkering with details and layout - but you are welcome to give feedback or critiques if you wish.
This was done entirely in photoshop.

I like this a lot. It is a clean and consistent design. I also wish that we could see it at a higher resolution!
I'ts good looking, clean and colorful... and I do like the little details.. Really want to see it in all its glory, full res and all layers and so.
This is a map of Istarnia - which is the non-detailed area in the middle of my world map.
The characters in the game are mostly from the isolated valley Kingdom of Istarnia - on the edge of the Shadowlands. Their dwarven neighbours from Barak Durn and elven neighbours from the Spear Woods are also involved.
They know very little of the outside world - so this map is me preparing for them to hit the outside world -- and I will likely update it one country at a time - with Breone being the place they are most likely to head to next.

I have a lot of work to go - especially since I am also doing a Pre-Breaking Map. About a 1000 years ago at the culmination of the 3rd Gods War - earthquakes shook the land and changed the map. Nations rose and fell and rebuilt in the aftermath.
The next steps for me are to figure out a few more names and stories for locations - mostly towns and cities and ruins - and then plot them out on the map - likely starting with Breone - as that is where the players are mostly likely to go after they leave Istarnia.
I figure I will add details as the game builds - so this project may take a while.
At some point I may publish a novel or gaming material based on this setting, but for now it is mostly for fun.
Very painterly, very nice. About the only thing even worth mentioning is that the hex grid is kind of dominating the beauty of the map, but I understand why it's there.

Here is my campaign world - without the hexes - and with a whole heck of a lot of texture on the ocean...
i was not happy with the painterly swirls, and enjoyed some textures on other folks maps... so I found a couple of high res satellite photos of the ocean and built up some stormy seas with them...

New Rangers Assistant/ Josh's Handler hired
Posted 06 January 2012 - 11:33 AM
MichaelDean Chadwick, Josh Hamilton's father-in-law, likes to describe his new role with a golf metaphor.
"When Josh's golf ball goes out in the woods, I want to be the guy that helps him find it so no one wanders too far off the fairway," Chadwick said by phone Friday morning, a day after the Rangers announced he was hired as a staff assistant, taking over part of the role that Johnny Narron handled since Hamilton was traded to Texas prior to the 2008 season. "And by the way, we all need that guy."
Chadwick has a unique relationship with Hamilton that goes beyond merely being an in-law. Hamilton, as he writes in his 2008 book "Beyond Belief," showed up at Chadwick's door in September 2003, struggling to get a hold of his life. Chadwick, who battled drug addiction early in his life, listened to Hamilton's story and was honest and straightforward with him, as Hamilton notes in the book.
"I took a look at him and I knew how bad a shape he was in," Chadwick said. "I wasnt sure how much of what he told me was true, but I knew if any of it was true, I couldn't let him leave. He'd been through something like eight rehabs and was down probably 70 or 80 pounds. I talked to my wife and we knew we couldn't let him go. The only way to get Josh back was to love him back."
That's how Hamilton got to know his future wife, Katie, too.
"She rocked his world," Chadwick said. "He married a tough broad, I can tell you that. Katie has seen her mom and dad -- and we've been married 35 years -- go through some tough things. I came home twice saying we'd lost the house today. When you're a homebuilder, you go through big highs and big lows. She's buried her brother [Michael was 8 years old and hit by a car crossing the street at a wedding in 1992]. She's seen her father when he was the worst husband ever. Shes amazing.
Chadwick is convinced that Julia, Hamilton's first daughter, helped him survive some of the toughest parts of his life.
"I'll go to my grave believing Julia saved that boy's life," Chadwick said. "No matter how bad it got, he was always so careful around her. He was thinking about her."
Chadwick is proud of how far Hamilton has come and how strong his faith has become.
"When man gets out of the way and lets God fix it, I know how successful God can be," Chadwick said. "It's an amazing thing."
Chadwick is looking forward to spending more time with Hamilton, as he will travel on the road with the club.
"This isnt just about Josh," Chadwick said. "I take care of anybody in my family, it doesn't matter who it is. This particular opportunity is not foreign to me at all. I already do this. I told him that. I cant help Josh on the baseball field, but Im going to keep us between the lines and make sure nobody else gets in between the lines that shouldnt be there. Im sure Ill build some friendships along the way. I already know some guys on the team and I want to get to know more of them."
Chadwick said he told Rangers general manager Jon Daniels recently that Hamilton still hasn't reached his peak as a player.
"I told him the best of Josh Hamilton is still to come. And if I were you, I'd stick around and watch," Chadwick said. "I was with him last week and the life inside of him is real and fun. It was 1 a.m. and I walked outside and he was smiling, saying he'd just had the greatest workout.
"Watch him before a game. Every time he takes a ball and signs it or pats a kid on the head, he's saying thanks for being here. He knows that kids are looking up to him and he does not take it lightly. It's a genuine sincerity. It's a gift. It's a part of him. He has so much to be grateful for and he knows it. That's the best part."

This doesn't sound like a good decision to me at all. In fact, I think it's a little weird.
A little weird????????? What about what the Pats did as soon as denver won their playoff game???
To bring in someone to replace someone that had the same job pretty much is not weird......plus if you invest in a car or house- you going to get stuff to protect it aren't you??
I grew up with a recovering addict and IT IS AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE to stay on the right path.
Im sure for an athlete it is really hard being around it everyday......most clubs let alcohol in the clubs after games......thank goodness he didn't play for boston

I have no idea how that is even related.
And I still thinks its strange to hire somebody's father-in-law as a keeper. Hamilton is a rich guy. There are lots of guys in professional sports with substance abuse problems. I don't think it should be up to the club to hire somebody to watch one person. Of course personal responsibility left our world a long time ago. My opinion is not against Josh Hamilton. I think this is just all together strange....and it tells me that the club is very worried.

Maybe it will work out. My concern is that the club is paying his father-in-law. Who do you think he's working to protect ?? I know you will say both, but where do you think his true loyalty lies? That's my problem with it
His loyalty is to Josh and HIS employer- the Texas Rangers. Josh is loyal to the Texas Rangers and his father in law that saved his life and helped him back on the path with Christ.
I bet you the club house of the Texas Rangers SEE NO PROBLEM IN IT if when to celebrate going to the World Series they do like no other team and pull out the Ginger ale???????
THAT'S why I don't have a problem with it!!

Don't kid yourself. Champagne and beer was enjoyed in the clubhouse shortly after that photo was taken, just like the Red Sox. Reports indicate Hambone and CJ did not attend.
Oh ok wise one, I know that, it was to show respect and to show that they care for them as people not just ballplayers!!!!!!!!!
Saying that there is no problem hiring someone to replace someone that had a job to help out josh...............
Posted 11 January 2012 - 02:07 PM
Posted 11 January 2012 - 02:38 PM
When these ballplayers give hometown discounts to the Rangers during contract negotiations, I'll buy it......
Josh and CJ did go into the locker and attend, I saw them get their glasses. Sure they didn't stay to long.
Why do people not think it is ok. You got alot of money in him and hope he is around for more years to come, You can't tell me yall wouldn't make sure you top investment is taken care of.

Posted 11 January 2012 - 04:36 PM
I think a handler for Josh is great. Just weird that the Rangers hired someone in his family.
Thats kind of my sentiment. Its good that they got someone Josh is comfortable. However,IF something were to happen to either one thats going to be a tricky situation when family is involved.

Richard Durrett [ARCHIVE]
ESPNDallas.com | January 16, 2012
Josh Hamilton's father-in-law, Michael Dean Chadwick, decided not to accept the position as Hamilton's accountability partner due to "family considerations," the Texas Rangers announced Monday afternoon.
The club and the Hamiltons are discussing other options, but nothing has been decided yet.
The Rangers announced last week that Chadwick would take over that role, which was previously handled by Johnny Narron, who was also an assistant hitting coach with the team. Narron left this offseason to become hitting coach of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Chadwick said Monday that it was "heartbreaking" to call Hamilton and tell him he couldn't take the job, but said he felt like he couldn't leave his family in North Carolina and travel with the Rangers and Hamilton for the 2012 season. He also believes that Hamilton doesn't need an accountability partner right now. But a source said Hamilton will have one for the 2012 season, it just hasn't been determined who yet.
"It was a tough, tough deal," Chadwick said. "I let my heart get away with me. I wanted to go and be there for Josh. But I've got a 17-year-old daughter at home that needs me too, and I'm a home builder and have a company here. I sort of put the cart before the horse. It was heartbreaking to call them and say, 'Guys, I can't do it.' "
Hamilton, who has struggled with alcohol and drug addictions, did say the past few days that he didn't feel he needed an accountability partner and even the club has conceded that Hamilton is in a different place now than he was when he was traded to Texas from Cincinnati prior to the 2008 season. When that trade was made, Narron also came over with Hamilton to watch over him on the road.
"I feel like I was fine to not have anybody, but at the same time, if it helps confidence with the organization to have somebody or Major League Baseball to have somebody, helps their confidence in me, than I'm all for it," Hamilton said Thursday.
Chadwick was a big part of Hamilton's past, helping him get on a better path and recover from his drug and alcohol addiction early in his career.
"I think he's got that tiger by the tail," Chadwick said Monday. "If him and I could be together, it would be awesome because we get along so well. And if I thought that was the case that he would be in some sort of danger, I'd really reconsider."

text: Home Politics Now Romney Knows How Black People Feel After Joe Biden's "chains" quote, maybe the GOP candidate will get why coded language pisses us off. By: David Swerdlick Posted: Aug. 15 2012 5:37 PM 0 Justin Sullivan/Getty Images (The Root) -- Joe Biden is no George Jefferson. But by the way Mitt Romney reacted to the vice president's inexcusable line Tuesday -- that Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan might "put y'all back in chains" -- you could be forgiven if you thought, somehow, that Biden had gone off and called Romney a "honky." It was the go-to epithet of Jefferson, the '70s TV character played by the late Sherman Hemsley. Although Biden is famous for campaign-trail gaffes -- and while the "back in chains" riff isn't even close to dropping an "h" bomb -- you can see why it pissed Romney off: There's no way he can prove it, but it's a pretty safe bet that he feels like it's racial. It's the same way African Americans feel about the last couple of years in American politics. You can't give Biden a pass, because two wrongs don't make a right. And though conservatives talk all the time about running away from the Democrats' "plantation," any reference to slavery -- at least in this context -- isn't any better when it's made by a liberal. Even if Biden was only referring to Republicans' promise to "unchain Wall Street" -- the three words he spoke right before he launched into "y'all"-- there's really still no excuse. He's the vice president of the United States, and he has to know that every word counts when he's out stumping for Barack Obama, the nation's embattled first black president. But if it's a lesson for Biden, then it's also one for Romney and Ryan. They're not racists, but up to now, they've implicitly sanctioned plenty of loose talk from folks in their own party. Like in the GOP primaries, when Newt Gingrich called Obama the "food-stamp president," or when Herman Cain -- the black guy in the race -- said Obama wasn't a "real black man." Or when Romney -- only hours after keynoting the NAACP convention -- told a crowd they should "vote for the other guy" if they're "looking for free stuff." Or on Sunday's 60 Minutes, when Romney said that Obama "robbed" money from Medicare to pay for Obamacare. If you had to go to court to prove that these comments were race-ish, you couldn't do it. In each case, there's an explanation -- however implausible -- that race had nothing to do with it. But like Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's well-known take on pornography, when it comes to playing the race card, most people can comfortably say that "I know it when I see it." That's how Romney took "put y'all in chains" -- and rightly so -- because if you really want to hear it that way, it sounds like Biden's saying that Romney's out to get black people. It's also how most black people take a lot of the disrespect that's been thrown at Obama. No one's used the n-word, and no one ever will. But starting from the once incessant demands to see his long-form birth certificate and going all the way up to the condescending charge that Obama "doesn't understand" the economy, African Americans can point -- and rightly so -- to a steady stream of chatter that's never quite outright race-baiting but sure feels that way. So if it's the first time Romney's felt like this, or if he had to endure Mormon jokes as a kid -- which is just as bad -- either way, he gets a mulligan for overreacting and accusing the president of having a campaign based on "anger" and "hate." Obama's a lot of things; angry just isn't one. But maybe next time, if Romney hears something foul come from his side of the aisle, he'll be the one who calls it out first. Because now, at least, he knows how black people feel. And, after all, he'll surely know it when he sees it. David Swerdlick is a contributing editor to The Root. Follow him on Twitter.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida State offensive coordinator James Coley is leaving his alma mater for the same job at archrival Miami.
The 39-year-old Coley is the sixth Seminole assistant leaving Jimbo Fisher's staff since the end of the season along with the school's football publicist. Fisher's lone remaining assistants are holdovers from former coach Bobby Bowden's staff. They are former Seminole players Lawrence Dawsey and Odell Haggins and offensive line coach Rick Trickett.
Defensive coordinator Mark Stoops left to become head coach at Kentucky and took D.J. Eliot with him. Running backs coach Eddie Gran went to Cincinnati as offensive coordinator, linebackers coach Greg Hudson left to become defensive coordinator at Purdue and quarterbacks coach Dameyune Craig returned to Auburn as co-offensive coordinator.
Miami announced Coley's hiring on its website Thursday afternoon.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Gov. Beverly Perdue says the state of North Carolina will shoulder any recovery costs from Hurricane Irene that aren't covered by the federal government.
Perdue said Thursday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency usually picks up 75 percent of damage costs, then states are allowed to decide whether to pass the other 25 percent on to towns and communities.
Perdue says the state has always taken care of places struck by natural disasters and local governments don't need any added bills in tough economic times.
Damage from the hurricane in North Carolina has been estimated at more than $400 million, leaving the state to cover $100 million.
Officials said Thursday that 4,771 damaged homes in the state have been inspected with disaster paperwork sent to FEMA.

Video: More charges for clerk accused of spanking customer's child
WRIGHTSVILLE, Ga. -- A Dollar General employee arrested in Wrightsville last week for hitting a child with a belt has now been charged with two felonies, aggravated assault and cruelty to children. The charges were upgraded from simple battery because according to the police chief, store video shows the woman hitting the 8 year old at least 25 times.
After initially saying they were looking into the details of the case before acting, Dollar General told 11Alive News Monday afternoon the employee, Emilia Graciela Bell, had been fired. "We are deeply shocked and saddened by the reported incident at our store in Wrightsville, Georgia," read the statement, "And have expressed our sincere apologies to the child's family."
Investigators have not yet released the video, but the boy's family told WMAZ Macon over the weekend it shows a "beating," not a spanking.
"It was more or less a beating than a spanking the way she was hitting him," said Jody Ivey, the father of 8 year old Logan Ivey. "I don't know how to explain it, and I don't want to think about it."
Logan said it was very painful.
"I felt like I had five needles sticking in me; it really hurt, I was screaming 'Mama,'" he said. "And I was crying real bad because she [the clerk] had actually hurt me...when she stopped whipping me my pants were actually a little bit warm."
Wrightsville Police Chief Paul Sterling said Logan was running around in the store and got into a confrontation with Bell, 39. Bell told investigators that Logan threw a cookie at her and that's when she removed her belt, chased the boy down and spanked him behind the counter.
"It felt real real painful; nobody should have that kind of torture to them," Logan said. "It really hurts."
The boy's mother and sister, who were also in the store, did not witness the spanking, according to the chief.
The chief said Bell was immediately arrested and admitted to investigators what she did.
Bell was taken to jail and bonded out Friday morning.
Dollar General's full statement:
"Dollar General strives to provide a safe and welcoming place for our customers to shop. We are deeply shocked and saddened by the reported incident at our store in Wrightsville, Ga and have expressed our sincere apologies to the child's family. This incident is contrary to our core values of serving our customers and communities and does not reflect the commitment of our nearly 93,000 employees to treat everyone who enters our stores with kindness and respect. The type of behavior described in this incident is unacceptable, and the person responsible is no longer employed by Dollar General."

I've had an ongoing love affair with the Detroit Pistons for as long as I can remember. When I realized the Portland Trailblazers would play my beloved team, I had to find a way to be there!
Cue our awesome boss, Tim. He perked me and 3 friends with some awesome seats to the game. (Thanks again by the way!) We decided to make it a girls weekend and realized there was no better place to stay than the Hotel Vintage Plaza on Broadway in the heart of downtown Portland. Not only is this place gorgeous, the staff was super friendly and the rooms were so nice! The complimentary wine happy hour was an added bonus! I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Hotel Vintage Plaza to anyone. (Check them out at www.vintageplaza.com)
The Rose Garden was a quick cab ride from our hotel which made it easy on the wallet and convenient since we didn't have to worry about parking. I nearly lost my voice cheering on the Pistons but even though they lost, we all scored a free chalupa from Taco Bell since the Trailblazers scored 100+ points.
A few cocktails, a great game, and a comfortable place to stay all with my best gal pals by my side. I'd have to say that Portland treated us well. Until we meet again...
