The Best Ocean Passages for Mile Building
The Best Tall Ship Mile Building Voyages - perfect for Gap Year Travel
Ocean Wandering Tall Ships
Signed on as 'Tall Ships Crew'
Distance in Nautical Miles
Here are some of our longest voyage legs. To help those interested in mile building we are adding a rough estimate of the nautical miles you might cover in the voyage descriptions (click on the voyage descriptions below). If you have more time you can spend months on ships like Topsail Schooner Oosterschelde and Barque Europa following a trade wind circuit like the sailing cargo windjammers of the 19th Century and early 20th Century. I
f you prefer a smaller vessel then three masted lugger Grayhound will be offering ocean voyages in a classic circuit around the North Atlantic - including Cape Verde the Caribbean and the Azores.
Three Wildlife Expeditions in one trip
South Georgia, Weddell Sea & Antarctica
A full Antarctic and Southern Ocean Circuit starting in the Falklands. Sail downwind amongst the albatrosses to one of the most most
prolific wildlife breeding grounds on the planet - South Georgia. After a week exploring the anchorages of this mountainous sub antarctic island with thousands of penguins, seals and seabirds, Europa may repeat her 2011Centennial voyage by visiting South Orkney as she sails further South to catch the Polar Easterlies back towards the Antarctic Peninsula. Dodge the icebergs of the Weddell Sea and explore islands rarely visted by cruise expedition ships on the east side of the Peninsula. Cross the infamous Drakes Passage to Argentina.
21 Dec 2013 - 23 Jan 2014 Bark Europa - 34 Day Antarctic Expedition - voyage description
Antarctica, South Georgia, Tristan Da Cuhna and Ascension, Azores and Amsterdam 111 day Voyage Just the longest so far.
Look for humpback and killer whales amongst the icebergs. Wildlife safaris ashore amongst the penguins, fur seals and elephant seals. Climb the rigging and marvel at the icecaps, untrodden glaciers and mountain peaks. Sail the same route from Elephant Island to South Georgia as the rescue voyage in the James Caird by Shackleton and his men.....and in the same voyage sail north towards the equator and a warmer climate and set skysails and stun'sails ready for the lighter tropical sailing.
18th Feb - 11 June 2014 Bark Europa - The Big Voyage: Antarctica and journey home - 111 days - voyage description
Challenging Trans Atlantic Voyage on Sailing Lugger Grayhound
This is the old route home following the North Atlantic current, the same route the trade ships sailed. This is a challenging voyage for those who like the idea of being remote and isolated. The passage is 2165 sea miles and we estimate to spend 20 days at sea and the rest of the voyage relaxing in the beautiful Azores. Crew will be fully involved in the watch system and cooking. This is our longest voyage of the year, perfect for learning to use the sextant, building sea miles or escaping from the world for a month. Because of the length of voyage there are only 5 places available. Crew need to be healthy, fit, active and patient !
Rite of Passage
Crossing the Atlantic is on many experienced sailors hit list as well as the goal of the adventure traveller. To make the crossing in a three mast lugger is so unique that you many well be the first crew to do it for over 100 years. Pete Goss sailed from Newlyn to Australia in a two masted lugger called Spirit of Mystery recently - which sounds braver....but then he is famous for slightly challenging epics. Pete Goss was following the footsteps of some brave Cornish fishermen looking for a new life during the Australian Gold Rush, and his boat was built by the same shipwright as Grayhound.
Grayhound Antigua to Azores Voyage Details
Oosterschelde - Azores to Rotterdam
Azores to Rotterdam
This is the final leg in Oosterschelde's circumnavigation. Having spent 5 months away from the crowds in the North Sea, Oosterschelde will once again return to her home port of Rotterdam, and join the 'real world'.
Starting in Horta, in the Azores, she will set off for her last journey to complete her circumnavigation, and although she may well be close to home, this passage will still be an adventure. The Atlantic swell will be with you almost to the very end, only in the last few days, will it ease off as you enter into the North Sea. At this point it will seem very busy for the permanent crew, who will have become used to being alone at sea.
15 days is a great length of time to get into the rhythmn of blue water sailing. A great way to build up miles, or to test you sea legs with a longer voyage in mind perhaps. The Azores is a lush, beautiful archipelago of islands, host to a myriad of wildlife, flora and fauna. Why not combine this voyage with a walking holiday, or arrive a few days early to explore on foot before going on board.

As October draws closer, so does the start of flu season.
This year, all signs point toward a manageable situation. Still, Maryland health officials are strongly encouraging everyone age 6-months and older to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
On Friday, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene kicked off its annual prevention campaign with a free flu clinic at the Baltimore County Health Department. By 10:30 a.m., 250 vaccines had been administered despite the pouring rain
The department has monitored global flu activity all year, anticipating what this year's flu season could bring to Marylanders.
And health officials like what they're seeing.
"We have connections through the CDC, the federal government, to monitor what kinds of flu viruses they are seeing," said Frances Phillips, deputy secretary of Public Health Services at the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
There are two significant factors that have officials optimistic about the flu season this year. First, there have been no problems with flu vaccine production. In fact, the state health department expects there will be nearly 170 million doses of vaccines available across the country.
"There will be no shortage," said Phillips, who said that shortages have been a problem in the past.
Health officials are also enthusiastic about the quality of the vaccines being manufactured this year.
"Three strains that will be in this year's vaccine are a strong match to what is continuing to be reported in the southern hemisphere," Phillips said.
Officials said they have not seen a change in the severity of the flu so far, which is good news because flu activity in the southern hemisphere usually serves as a good indicator of what flu season will bring to the United States.
But Phillips said that since the flu is always changing, researchers in the state's public health labs will closely monitor flu specimens collected in Maryland in order to detect any resistance or changes that may occur.
Nearly 1,000 people in Maryland die each year as a result of the flu.
At a 50 percent vaccination rate, Maryland surpassed the national average for flu shots last year.
But Phillips said she is not content with that number.
"We're not going to get to 100 percent," she said. "But we are pushing to get that percentage up much higher."

Elizabeth Woyke, Forbes Staff
From smartphones to tablets, Wi-Fi to 3G/4G: I cover telecom & mobile.
Hewlett-Packard's Thursday ouster of Chief Executive Leo Apotheker and replacement with former eBay CEO Meg Whitman could bring changes to the PC giant's webOS strategy – but no one, including HP staffers, seems to know for sure.
It's a topic of significance to the mobile, wireless and telecom industries. HP assumed control of webOS, a mobile operating system developed by smartphone maker Palm, when it acquired Palm in the summer of 2010.
Under Apotheker, HP released three new webOS-powered devices: the HP TouchPad tablet and HP Veer and Pre 3 smartphones. None of the gadgets were hits but the PC giant surprised many when it announced in mid-August — just six weeks after launching the TouchPad — that it would stop producing webOS devices. The change, which includes job cuts in what HP calls the webOS global business unit or GBU, is scheduled to be implemented by October 31st at the latest.
The decision threatened webOS' potential to be a strong third operating system for the mobile industry outside of Apple's iOS and Google's Android. Prior to HP's decision, webOS was occasionally cited as a candidate for that coveted third mobile OS position, along with Microsoft's Windows Phone software and Research In Motion's BlackBerry/QNX OS. But without HP's support, webOS' prospects immediately dimmed.
Could Whitman revive HP's webOS business? It's unclear. An HP staffer who works in the company's webOS division told Forbes that the unit did not yet know how the management change would affect its operations. Whitman didn't give much insight on a Thursday call with HP analysts and investors, either. During the call, Whitman simply said the company would invest in its software offerings and "continue to explore options to optimize" its webOS business.
A rekindling of webOS seems possible. While HP has reportedly begun webOS-related layoffs, the company hasn't completely exited the tablet business. After its TouchPads, marked down to a fire-sale price of $99, drew intense buyer interest, HP pledged to produce more tablets to meet demand.
Nor would HP (seemingly) be stepping on any toes if it took control of webOS again. Though the company has said it wants to license or sell webOS to other tech companies, no partners have publicly come forward. One company that was widely expected to be interested in webOS – Samsung – told reporters in early September that it will not buy or otherwise adopt the operating system, in part because it is focused on developing its own software in-house.
Whitman could also decide to stick with Apotheker's webOS wind-down plan. HP has been clear that TouchPad, Veer and Pre 3 sales did not meet company expectations. Bringing webOS back into the HP fold may also require expenditures Whitman is unwilling to make. In explaining its decision to cease webOS product development, HP said it believed it would need to invest much more money into the business to succeed, given the fierce competition in the mobile industry.
WebOS has such a strong community following that it would be too much to give up on. What's needed is hardware that isn't a generation behind the iPads and Androids. The Pre 3 was a move in the right direction. Even the TouchPad had its unique points, namely the design.
Here is my wish list for Meg Whitman: http://www.palmunlocker.com/blogs/news/4137212-webos-4-0-will-new-hp-ceo-whitman-reinvent-webos
I am rooting for Meg, HP, and webOS. We need great competition in the "pad" and PC business, and HP is the kind of company that can offer this, if, and that is a big if, they return to their roots.
The thing is, these companies take something that works and just run it until it dies. Never upgrading, adding more apps, ect.. like the Palm TX. If this device had a phone most of the smartphones on the market wouldn't exist.
Instead of improving the browser, adding a phone, adding VPN but they did nothing.
They want consumers to buy the device and then let their hopes for improvements die. Because they sold 2 million and pocketed the profits. A year later the$400 device can no longer be updated. Don't take too many times of dumping a $400 device in the dumpster to change your views.
Apple meanwhile continues to create content for it's customers.
One company earns (uh kind of) brand loyalty and those that bail out early get no brand loyalty.
Lets face it Apple basically adds a service pack and sells it off as a new and improved device. Maybe they add a feature. See a pattern. Create a product, market the heck out of it, make it dumbed down and easy t use, put entertainment on it, and add a little functionality every year. Now little Billy wants a new one every year and so do his envious friends.
It isnt rocket science. I think the zune is still being made isn't it. Weren't they supposed to be broke. Zune software on the win7 phone. Why MS don't you know better???? Yes they do and I haven't seen Microsoft going broke yet. They add features. Connect to XBOX, use your new win7 phone to supplement yor Zune, woo what an idea make a product, support it, build on it, and don't expect to have your stock split 16 times in the next two weeks as citeria for cancellation.
Dear Elizabeth. Im agree with the people who said the webOs is a mayor contender in the mobile OS competition. I test every Os in the market and for me, the best is the iOS and second the webOs. Im really, really sad to hear that HP discontinue the development of this excellent OS. Is so smooth, so easy to use, the web experience was excellent, 10 times better than RIM and Windows. The only problem is the small quantity of available apps, so I think the only need time to get a better position in the industry. Too bad for HP. I have a Veer in my home and is one of my favorite cell phone ever, second to my iPhone 4. The possibilities are endless but they give up so fast. Imagine the synergy between the printer, the phone, the computer and the tablet. The have an excellent opportunity to develop future but they lost. Sorry for HP.
Thanks for you answer. I hope they license the software to other competitors. Just we need to wait and see whats happen. Thanks for your excellent article.

Construction may be at a standstill elsewhere in Stanislaus County, but it is booming on one block of central Modesto.
The 900 block of Enslen Avenue, in the middle of one of the city's most desired neighborhoods, has one custom home under construction, two major renovations under way, a couple of minor projects just completed and more about to start.
There's hardly a place to park between all the contractor's pickups.
"It's about the busiest street in the county," said architect Sharon Sample, who is overseeing a comprehensive remodeling of 929 Enslen Ave. She and her husband, contractor Steven Tye, are adding two bedrooms and a bathroom to the 61-year-old home. They expect to move in next year.
Construction on two big projects across the street should be wrapped up then. But Sample assured more remodeling is coming.
"We have several projects about to start in the neighborhood. People there are investing in their quality of life," said Sample. "The College-Enslen neighborhood always will be the desirable part of Modesto that people seek to live in. There is a great sense of community there."
Trees are tucked between the street's custom homes, many of which were built in the 1940s. Those well-kept houses are occupied by many doctors, business owners and longtime residents.
"People make a commitment to these neighborhoods," Sample said. Some people who were born and raised there returned as adults with their children, she said, and it why the value of homes there have not dropped as significantly as in other parts of Modesto.
And it's why those homeowners apparently are willing to spend big bucks remodeling.
"When neighbors see neighbors making investments in their homes, it has a ripple effect," Sample said. "Activity breeds activity."
Contractor Rod Lowe agreed there's construction momentum on Enslen. He is building a 3,600-square-foot home at 908 Enslen. The site is one of four lots that previously had been one parcel.
Lowe's client, Irene Angelo, is downsizing from her Del Rio home and moving to Enslen to be closer to the center of town and her friends.
"This is a very high-end custom home with a very contemporary design," said Lowe, noting its metal roof and the 35-foot wall of glass overlooking the back yard. The three-bedroom, four-bathroom house has accessibility features such as 3-foot-wide doorways to accommodate wheelchairs, no-curb showers and grab bars.
Angelo's architect is her granddaughter, Jenna Knudsen of Two Knudsen Architecture in Los Angeles. Angelo's other granddaughter, Lisa Thoukis of Interior/Exterior Design in Modesto, is styling the home.
Lower prices for custom work
"The only way to get exactly what you want is to build it yourself," explained Tom Mac Donald, Angelo's son-in-law. "You are going to pay a premium to build a custom home, but it costs less now than it would have a couple years ago. There are good, longtime subcontractors available right now offering very, very competitive prices."
Billy Foulds confirms that. He owns W.F. Construction, which is doing some of the remodeling at 928 Enslen Ave.
"It's so competitive out there," Foulds said. "Whenever you bid for a job, it's very, very tight."
Labor costs have dropped dramatically, said Foulds. "We've gone back 20 years on prices."
That doesn't mean custom building is cheap.
Lowe said construction costs for a typical subdivision home now runs about $35 to $50 per square foot, not counting land costs and government fees. He estimated construction costs for custom homes at $150 to $200 per square foot.
"In custom homes like this, it's the materials that run the costs up," Lowe said. The Enslen home, for instance, will have all commercial-grade doors and windows.
So while labor costs have declined, material prices have not gone down much.
Neither have government-imposed building permit and impact fees. Lowe said those fees in Modesto can add $50,000 to the cost of a new home.
"Because the permit fees are totally out of control," Foulds said, "it's by far cheaper to remodel than to build new."
Foulds said the renovation project he is working on will cost "a couple hundred thousand dollars," but that is more cost-effective than building from scratch because the owner does not have to pay nearly as many fees.
"We're bringing this home up to date so it's more suitable to the college area," Foulds said about the 1948-vintage house owned by Ruth and John Williams. "It's going to end up like a brand-new home, but it will hold to the area's period-correct Spanish style."
A blight on the block disappears
Enslen hasn't always been a bright spot for home renovation. A couple of years ago the block was marred by a weed-infested, foreclosed mess.
In fall 2005, Mark Runyon and an investment group called Brady Avenue Associates paid $1.75 million in mostly borrowed money for the property at 905 Brady Ave.
That one-acre parcel connecting Brady to Enslen had a grand six-bedroom house in the middle of it. The plan was to move the classic 1941 home onto one corner of the property, then create three additional lots from the remaining land.
"Those guys bought at the peak of the market," Lowe said. "They thought they could sell those three finished lots for $500,000 to $600,000 each."
The parcel split was approved by Modesto city officials, and the home was moved. But before it could be renovated, the housing market crashed and work stopped.
By May 2007, the Brady-Enslen property was foreclosed, sticking lenders with nearly $1.1 million in unpaid debt. Those lenders sold the land and what was left of the old home for $810,000 in 2008. The home was demolished and the lots were sold.
Irene Angelo owns the two lots facing Enslen Avenue, and Evan Zeff owns the two lots facing Brady Avenue.
"I was able to get there in time to save those trees," Evan Zeff said of the huge magnolias on the property. "I grew up in this neighborhood and I always loved it. ... I plan to design and build my own home (at 905 Brady Ave.), once I complete my architecture license."

of the horrific head-on crash that killed a little girl and a limousine driver raises lots of questions:
Are we doing enough to curb drinking and driving?
Are we winning the so-called war on DWI, or is there more to be done?
Is the truth harder to face: That there is no way to stop people from driving drunk?

Even if the horror-thriller "Antiviral" wasn't written and directed by David Cronenberg's son, Brandon, this meat locker of a movie might still invite comparisons to much of the elder filmmaker's signature output.
Stark, startling and weirdly inventive, "Antiviral" is set in a vaguely futuristic dystopia where the cult of celebrity has become that much more, well, cultish. The deal: Fans can get closer than ever to their favorite superstars by being injected with famous folks' viruses, which are harvested and brokered by high-security clinics.

Most inmate medical needs are taken care of at the county jail through a doctor and nursing staff. Sometimes a health condition arises that requires hospitalization. Hospital visitation rules depend on several factors: Jail rules: Some jails have a non-negotiable rule that inmates in the hospital cannot receive visitors. They consider it a security Rejected for Inmate Visitation: Why did the jail tell me I can't visit? You had your heart set on visiting an inmate but the jail has said you can't? Here's why: A prior incident: If guards became suspicious of your behaviors during an earlier visit, but cannot prove you did something wrong, you will avoid a charge but be rejected for visits. For example, the guards suspect you [...] Protective Custody in Prison: The Pros and Cons Protective Custody can be a double-edged sword.

Airport Layover/ Best Philly Cheese or Roast Pork?
I'm flying through Philly next week. Never been, but want to try some of the local stuff. Heard great things abour Johns, and others, but my dilemna is as follows: I only have 2 hours 28 minutes to leave the airport, sample some Philly goodness, and return. Given airport security lines, that means I really only have about an hour and a half, and if our flight is running late, an hour. Where should I go to get the best Philly Cheesesteak, or Roast Pork, that's CLOSE to the airport and won't cost a fortune in cabfare? Or is there some other local spot (non-philly-cheese-steak-related) that I should go to?
Two of the best places are convenient to the airport, but cab fare would be a bit pricy. John's is one place, but I'm not sure they'll be open when you need them to be. The other is Tony Luke's. Both are convenient to I-95 and the airport, but you're probably looking at $40 minimum in cab fare to get there and back.
Depending on the train schedule, you may also be able to take the R1 airport train, which goes to the Reading Terminal Market. It's a 30 minute trip, so that would tie up an hour of your time, and the schedule may not work anyway, but that would be the cheapest route and you could get a great roast pork sandwich at DiNics.
I haven't been in years, but used to go to a place at the intersection of 420 and 291. I think it's called Jim's, but it's the "home of the heavyweight". They were pretty decent.
Trios Cold Cuts is on MacDade and Folsom and has amazing sandwiches. Hoagies, roast pork, etc. I believe that they just started doing a cheesesteak and if it's anything like the rest of the items, it's nothing short of awesome.
Both of these places are about 10 minutes from the airport, if that. I also agree with Lancastermike about the Marriott. I know it's not John's, Tony Lukes, whatever, but it's a decent representation and the stress you'd save worrying about getting back in time would make it worth the trip.

Dogs have always been welcome to participate in the Turkey Trot and we want your four-legged family members to join us so some changes have been made in order to keep allowing dogs at this event.
NEW in 2013- the DOG JOG! All dogs (and their human!) will begin the Trot after all other participants have crossed the start line at approximately 8:15. (service dogs are exempt) Dogs will be allowed on the 2 mile course only. Please- no dogs on the 5 mile route.
With thousands of people and hundreds of dogs doing the Turkey Trot we needed to make some changes in order to continue to allow dogs to participate in this event. After meeting with city officials, public safety officers, and insurance companies for the city and the event, the compromise was to have dogs on the 2 mile route only and also to have them start after all other participants. In fact, we really had to beg to allow dogs in some communities because they have very strict no dog policies at all events. If the new regulations are not followed we are in jeopardy of not allowing dogs at all in the future. We appreciate your cooperation.
Dogs do not need to be registered but we will have bandanas available for $5 cash or check at packet pick up and on race day if your pooch wants to dress up for the Trot!
There are lots of people, noises, and excitement so for the safety of your dog and others around you:
Please only bring dogs that are well-behaved and used to being around other dogs and people.
Dogs should be kept on leash that is shorter than 6 feet. No retractable leashes, which may be hazardous in a crowd.
Please clean up after your dog. Bags are available but you can bring your own.
Limit one dog per person.
Dogs should be at least 6 months old and up to date on vaccinations.

The Free Press
— Thumbs down
To the Big Ten and the addition of two new schools to a once-proud and storied athletic conference that now doesn't at all resemble the proud and storied conference that it once was.
It's just business these days. The Big Ten used to be a Midwestern powerhouse. Even before its latest announcement that Maryland and Rutgers will join the conference, it technically ceased being the "Big Ten." But when Nebraska and Penn State joined the conference a few years ago, at least they were Midwestern schools, maintaining geographical relevance. Maryland and Rutgers, on the other hand, are Eastern schools taken in with the mighty dollar in mind.
It's getting ridiculous. The Big Ten still calls itself the Big Ten even after adding schools 11 and 12, then it divided itself for football into two divisions called "Legends" and "Leaders." It sounded silly at the time. Now with 14 teams, calling it the "Big Ten" sounds even sillier.
Maryland and Rutgers were brought in to capitalize on an Eastern television market. So maybe the conference should now be called the "Big Mo." As in big money.
Don't landfill food if it can be composted
Thumbs up
To a push by some in Minnesota to find ways to compost food waste on commercial levels.
The state's overall recycling efforts surged in the 1980s but have remained stagnant since.
One of the best options to reduce pressure on landfills is to treat organics -- food waste -- as the recyclable material it is. As it is, as much as 40 percent of all the food produced ends up in landfills.
State officials have set a goal in the metro area of cutting the flow into landfills by 75 percent by 2030, with a big chunk of that coming from recycling organic material.
Recycling food waste for use as soil and fertilizers carries obvious obstacles, including the safe collection and storage of it and reducing odors and pests at organic recycling plants. But as anyone who has a backyard compost bin knows, those obstacles aren't that difficult to overcome.
Flame Theater in Wells sparks anew
Thumbs up
To the Wells community and its city for supporting a first-rate, historic theater in the town of 2,400 residents.
Maintaining local movie houses has been tough for small towns for decades as regional centers sprung up to draw patrons away. But the residents of Wells have continued to support The Flame with their business, donations and city support.
The theater, originally called the State Theater, was established in 1912 when it opened with 5 cent shows. The theater was renamed "The Flame" after it burned down in 1960 and was rebuilt.
It recently purchased $65,000 worth of digital equipment to accommodate the motion picture industry's phasing out of 35mm films next year.
As the only small town theater within a 40-mile radius, The Flame draws some 20,000 visitors a year and charges about half the admission, $3, of big city theaters.
The community came together to support something that maybe doesn't fit into the traditional municipal budget, but people of Wells have decided its worth it as a way to keep people in town and draw others from the region.
Movie theaters were long staples of small-town life. Wells is keeping that alive.
Dotson Co. day builds community
Thumbs up
To the Dotson Co. and their policy of giving their employees the day before Thanksgiving as a day off to volunteer for some worthy community cause.
The company designates a day, usually the day before Thanksgiving, to allow workers to get paid for volunteering for a local cause. Wednesday several employees donated their time helping with demolition work at the old Nichols Office Building that will become the new VINE senior community center.
Employees can take the day off as vacation, a day without pay or get paid while doing volunteer work. It's a nice gesture on the part of a longtime local company to allow its employees to help out a community cause as a way to give back.
We'd like to see more companies offer the same thing.

Class of 2012 shooting guard Myles Davis announced via Twitter last night that he will play hoops at XU. Wrote Davis: "I would like to announce that I will be a Musketeer at Xavier University."
Davis joins Sim Bhullar and James Farr in the recruiting class and is known for his long range touch. The Notre Dame Prep (Mass.) player alluded to his decision making process at the Nike Peach Jam in South Carolina but made the call on XU after he returned from the tournament. Multiple outlets say he chose the Muskies over Georgetown, Pittsburgh and West Virginia.
IT'S OFFICIAL: Although we reported his already, the paperwork is done and Vanderbilt transfer Andre Walker is officially a Musketeer. Here's the release from XU:
Xavier head men's basketball coach Chris Mack announced today that former Vanderbilt University standout Andre Walker, a 6-7 and 220-pound forward, has transferred to Xavier for his final year of eligibility. The necessary paperwork has been completed for Walker, who graduated from Vanderbilt this past May and will be eligible to play immediately for the Musketeers under NCAA rules.
"Andre Walker is a tremendous addition to our basketball team for this season," said Mack. "He is a very experienced, skilled forward who can play multiple positions and defend them as well. He has a degree from Vanderbilt, has been well coached and is looking forward to enjoying a healthy season for the first time in a while."
Walker played in 15 games, starting eight times, as a redshirt junior last season, averaging 3 points and 3 rebounds in 17.7 minutes per game for the 23-11 Commodores. Walker played in 32 games, starting 31 times, as a sophomore in the 2009-10 season for the 24-9 Commodores, averaging 6.1 points and 5.4 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game. After playing in all 34 games as a freshman in the 2007-08 season for a 26-8 Vandy squad, Walker suffered a season-ending knee injury in the third game of the 2008-09 season.
Walker went to Vanderbilt after spending the 2006-07 season at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, the same prep school where current Xavier teammate Mark Lyons played the following year in the 2007-08 season.
While at Xavier, Walker will be pursuing his master's degree in sport administration, a graduate program that is not offered at Vanderbilt. He graduated from Vanderbilt with a bachelor's degree in human and organizational development.

The flurry of legal activity surrounding Pennsylvania's new drilling law continues.
On Wednesday, attorneys representing seven municipalities and other entities opposing state Act 13 filed further motions with Commonwealth Court in attempts to strike down portions of the legislation.
At issue is the diminished ability of local government to regulate oil and gas activities. Opponents contend that the law "deprives municipal officials of carrying out their legally binding duty to protect air, water and natural environmental values," according to .
Cecil Township attorney John Smith, who represents the suit's petitioners, said Wednesday's actions seek to prevent representatives of the natural gas industry from giving oral arguments in court proceedings, and for the court to uphold its decision not to allow state legislators to intervene in the case.
The court has designated certain industry representatives, including the and the Pennsylvania Independent Oil and Gas Association, as amici curiae, parties that are not involved in a particular litigation but are allowed to advise the court on matters of law directly affecting the litigation.
On Wednesday, a court order granted industry representatives the opportunity to present a collective five minutes of oral argument when the case is heard. At the request of the state attorney general, the case has been placed on the court's en banc argument list for June, meaning all Commonwealth Court justices are to be present, instead of the usual panel of three.
The petitioners, who have been granted five minutes to respond to industry arguments, filed a request to deny the court order.
On April 20, Commonwealth Court Senior Judge Keith B. Quigley denied an application by state lawmakers to intervene. They applied for reconsideration May 4, claiming, "The Court prevents the legislative leadership from answering petitioners' imputation of bad motives upon the legislature."
and six other municipalities—including Peters, Mt. Pleasant and Robinson townships in Washington County and South Fayette Township in Allegheny County—filed suit March 29, challenging an Act 13 section providing for state law to pre-empt local regulation of drilling. On April 3, the petitioners requested a preliminary injunction to delay implementation of the act's relevant section for 120 days.
. The state and its agencies then moved to modify the injunction, but Quigley denied the application. The injunction and denial since have been appealed to the state Supreme Court.
On Monday, the petitioners filed a motion with Commonwealth Court for summary judgment with regard to their suit, claiming Act 13 is unconstitutional on the federal and state levels. The motion lists 66 points, including one that contends the act "establishes a one-size-fits-all zoning scheme for oil and gas development that applies to every zoning district in every political subdivision in Pennsylvania."
A summary judgment, if granted, would dispose of the case without a trial.

Voted Best Literary Events 2013!
Rain Taxi sponsors a reading series as a further demonstration of its commitment to literary culture. All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Launch event for Ask Me: 100 Essential Poems by William Stafford
Monday, January 27, 7:00 pm
Plymouth Congregational Church
1900 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis
It's the centenary of poet William Stafford's birth, so join us for a reading and talk by the poet's son, writer Kim Stafford. This free event is sponsored by Literary Witnesses and co-sponsored by Rain Taxi, the Loft Literary Center, and Graywolf Press.
Friday, February 21, 7:00 pm
The Soap Factory
514 SE 2nd St, Minneapolis
Rain Taxi is proud to present acclaimed Nigerian writer Okey Ndibe reading from his riveting new book, Foreign Gods, Inc. (Soho Press). Exploring questions of race, identity, and the commodification of the sacred, the novel tells the story of Nigerian-born New York City cab driver Ike, as complicated a character as any in contemporary literature. Frustrated with his job, divorced from his wife, and at odds with American culture, Ike plots an art heist in his home country, but learns that there is still farther to fall before he hits bottom. A taut, literary thriller, Foreign Gods, Inc. is a novel that wrestles with bad faith and the post-colonial condition in equal measure, and a more than worthy follow-up to Arrows of Rain, Ndibe's first novel, which Ernest Emenyonu called "A blueprint for the second generation of African novelists."
Please join us for a reading and discussion with this important writer in the beautiful new heated galleries of The Soap Factory, dedicated to supporting artists and engaging audiences through the production and presentation of contemporary art in a unique and historic environment—now celebrating its 25th year as a laboratory for artistic experimentation and innovation. Free and open to the public—reception to follow! Books will be available for sale at the event, courtesy of Magers & Quinn Booksellers.
About Okey Ndibe:
Okey Ndibe was born in Yola, northeastern Nigeria, on May 15, 1960, five months before his country achieved independence from British rule. He remembers his first few years as a period of enchantment, but when he was seven Nigeria descended into a horrific civil war, a defining experience for him. It was in high school that he developed a strong interest in writing; after that, he studied business management at Nigerian colleges and worked as an editor at two Nigerian weekly magazines. He relocated to the U.S. in 1988 when the famed Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe invited him to be the founding editor of African Commentary, a magazine named by such publications as Library Journal, USA Today, and Utne Reader as one of the best magazines of 1989. Ndibe was then admitted to the University of Massachusetts, where he earned an MFA in fiction and a PhD as well. His first novel, Arrows of Rain, was published by Heinemann (UK) in their esteemed African Writers Series. Ndibe also co-edited a book titled Writing on Conflicts and Wars in Africa.
At the turn of the century, Ndibe was a member of the editorial board of the Hartford Courant and his essay "Eyes to the Ground: The Perils of the Black Student" was named the best opinion piece by the Association of Opinion Page Editors. He also writes a widely popular, hard-hitting column focused on Nigerian politics that is syndicated by several Nigerian newspapers and websites. Stung by his unsparing stance against official corruption, the Nigerian government put his name on a list of "enemies of the state" and in January 2011, Nigeria's security agents arrested him and detained him when he arrived from the U.S. The episode was covered by media around the world, and triggered protests from writers and organizations, among them Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and the New York-based Committee for the Protection of Journalists.
Ndibe has taught at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, Connecticut College in New London, CT, and Simon's Rock College of Bard in Great Barrington, MA. During the 2001-2002 year, he was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Lagos in Nigeria. He is currently visiting professor of African and African Diaspora literatures at Brown University in Providence, RI.
Praise for Foreign Gods, Inc.:
"Razor-sharp... Mr. Ndibe invests his story with enough dark comedy to make Ngene an odoriferous presence... In Mr. Ndibe's agile hands, he's both a source of satire and an embodiment of pure terror." —Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"We clearly have a fresh talent at work here. It is quite a while since I sensed creative promise on this level." —Wole Soyinka, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
"Foreign Gods, Inc. reads like the narrative of a taxi-driving Faust in modern Nigeria and America. With Moliere-like humorous debunking of religious hypocrisy and rancid materialism, it teems with characters and situations that make you laugh in order not to cry." —author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
"Neither fable nor melodrama, nor what's crudely niched as 'world literature,' the novel traces the story of a painstakingly crafted protagonist and his community caught up in the inescapable allure of success defined in Western terms." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Ndibe adds his voice to a new generation of writers . . . [Ike's] picaresque journey, gently but incisively told, shows us the vagaries of both American and African culture." —Library Journal
"A heist story like no other... Ndibe unfurls his rich narrative gradually, allowing room for plenty of character interaction while painting a revealing portrait of contemporary Nigeria. With piercing psychological insight and biting commentary on the challenges faced by immigrants, the novel is as full-blooded and fierce as the war deity who drives the story." —Booklist
"This gritty, poetic, at times hallucinatory novel, humorous and then heart-rending and tense, narrates a journey that feels true and lived in the soul. Okey Ndibe takes his readers on a transfixing and revelatory journey... I feel grateful to have read this remarkable novel." —author Francisco Goldman
"A challenging romp of gods and styles." —author John Edgar Wideman

The combination of elegant curves and crisp lines makes this Widespread Faucet (Model SCL600SN) a very nice addition to any bathroom décor. It comes in two beautiful finishes of either satin nickel or chrome. The metal lever handles are clearly crafted to compliment the curves of the spout and lever bases. There is a brass pop up drain that's also made to accommodate the overall look as well as fit perfectly for precise function. The spout height is a very handy 8 7/8" with the reach being a nice fit at 5 3/16"; the aerator clearance ensures smooth movement at 4 7/8". Whether you prefer a bathroom of sharp contemporary lines or one of softer more traditional curves, this widespread faucet is designed to blend in quite nicely. This makes for sheer convenience down the road if you choose to remodel and don't want to have to replace your faucet to accommodate your décor.
Beyond convenient for decorating and style that's unsurpassed, the inner construction is just as impressive. The ceramic disc cartridge ensures that your faucet will withstand years of daily use that's worry free. The ceramic discs are the best found on the market today. They have a reputation for far outlasting standard valves as they are hard enough to handle even mineral deposits from hard water. From the inside out this widespread faucet has been designed for optimum style and constructed for many years of trouble free use.

A few neighborhoods in Middletown Township suffered heavy flooding damage in both 1996 and 1999. The Township wishes to ensure that all residents and business owners who have suffered damage from these and other storms are informed about flood protection. The following information provides property owners with ideas of what they can do to protect themselves.
Township Flood Services: The first thing property owners should do is check their flood hazard risk. Flood maps and flood protection references are available free of charge at the Middletown Township Department of Licenses and Inspections located at the Municipal Center, 3 Municipal Way, Langhorne. Because your property is located in a flood plain or has experienced a flood, it is important that you review these sources of information and assistance. Township residents can also call 215-750-3800, extension 115, for more information.
Flood Insurance: If you don't have flood insurance, talk to your insurance agent. Homeowner's insurance policies do not cover damage from floods. However, you can purchase a separate flood insurance policy. Flood insurance typically covers all surface floods. This insurance is backed by the Federal Government and is available to everyone, even for properties that have already been flooded. Some people may have purchased flood insurance because a bank required it for a mortgage or home improvement loan. These policies generally cover the building structure but not the contents. Usually there is more damage to furniture and contents than there is to a structure. If you are covered, check out the policy and make sure you have contents coverage. Remember, even if the last flood missed you or you have done some flood proofing, the next flood could be worse.
Flood Protection: Flood protection can involve a variety of changes to your house and property -- changes that can vary in complexity and cost. You may be able to make some types of changes yourself. But complicated or large-scale changes and those that affect the structure of your house or its electrical wiring and plumbing should be carried out only by a professional contractor licensed to work in Middletown Township. One example of flood protection is adding a waterproof veneer to the exterior walls of your house. This is something that only a licensed contractor should do.
For more information, please see the "Homeowner's Guide to Retrofitting: Six Ways to Protect Your House from Flooding." June 1998 edition. This manual is available for review in the Middletown Township Licenses & Inspections Department or on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website at www.fema.gov.
Business owners may want to review "Non-Residential Floodproofing: Requirements and Certification for Buildings Located in Special Flood Hazard Areas." April 1993 edition. Also, business owners may want to review FEMA's main website at www.fema.gov.
A building permit is a license, which grants legal permission to start construction of a building project.
Building permits are typically required for the following:
In Bucks County, all earth distrubances of more than 1,000 square feet require a plan to be submitted to the Bucks County Conservation District for review and approval. Plans of less than 1,000 square feet only require that an erosion and sediment control plan is on site during the disturbance.
Permits allow the enforcement of codes, which have been adopted as law by a state, county, township or city. No matter what the specific project may be, the enforcement of codes is carried out to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The unit of government which enforces the code is acting to assure safe construction.
Code officials and inspectors use building permits as a vital step in their enforcement of codes. You have an investment in the home or business you are about to build or remodel. When that home or business structure does not comply with the codes, your investment could be reduced. Applying for a building permit notifies the Code Official that you are constructing or remodeling a building so he or she can ensure code compliance.
Building permits provide the means for Code Officials to protect us by reducing the potential hazards of unsafe construction and thereby ensuring the public health, safety and welfare. The building permit process helps us understand what local laws and ordinances . Before any construction or remodeling work begins, application for a permit should be made. Building permits provide the means for Code Officials to inspect construction to ensure that minimum standards are met and appropriate materials are used.
Visit or Call your Local Code Official. The Code Official will ask "What are you planning to do?" and "Where are you planning to do it?" Then, the Code Official will explain the requirements (codes/ordinances) regarding your project. An application for a building permit will be given to you at this time. This initial contact will provide the resources and information you will need to make your project a success and avoid potential problems, which could cost you time and money.
Submit Application. The permit application requires information about the construction project. You'll be asked to document "who" will perform the work, "what" work will be done, "where'' the work will be done, "when" the work will be done and "how" the work will be done. Sketches, drawings, plans or other documentation of the proposed work will have to be submitted for review. A fee will be collected at this time. The permit fee helps defray the cost of the Code Official's time spent in the application process, the review process, and the on-site inspection process. The fee also gives you access to the Code Official's knowledge and experience when and if you have any questions about your construction project.
Wait During Review Process. The majority of permit applications are processed with little delay. The Code Official will determine if your project is in compliance with the construction codes, with the zoning ordinance, and with other municipal or state ordinances and statutes.
Receive Results of Review Process. If compliance with the code, zoning ordinance and other applicable regulations is determined, the application is approved and a permit issued. If compliance is not determined, your application as submitted will be denied. If you are refused a building permit, you can correct the code violations or appeal the decision.
Receive Permit. The building permit is the document granting legal permission to start construction. You must proceed as approved in the review process. Inspections required for your project will be indicated on the permit. Most building departments require you to post the building permit in a window or other prominent place at the construction site, keep a copy of the building plans at the site, and bring any proposed changes to the attention of the Code Official immediately. Changes will require a review and approval in the same manner as the original application.
Arrange Inspection Visits. Each major phase of construction must be inspected by the Code Official to make certain the work conforms to the code, the building permit and the approved plan. The person responsible for the construction project must request each inspection. Normally, 24 to 48 hours advance notice is required. If an inspector finds that some work does not conform to approved plans, the inspector will advise (and possibly provide written notice) that the situation is to be remedied. If the violation is serious, a stop work order may be posted until the problem is resolved. Another inspection may be necessary before work is resumed.
Receive Certificate of Occupancy. When code compliance is determined, the inspector issues a certificate of occupancy. This certificate is the formal document which marks the compltetion of your construction project and gives you permission to occupy your new or renovated building with the knowledge that it has met the safety standards in your community.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Milwaukee Smoked BBQ opens on the south side
Business partners Brian Brieske and Don Michals had been into barbecue as a hobby for some time before they overhauled their motorcycle shop and turned it into a kitchen.
On April 1, they opened Milwaukee Smoked BBQ at 3902 S. Whitnall Ave.
Brieske said the original plan was only to sell barbecue at festivals from a 1962 Airstream trailer; the Whitnall Ave. location was to be their licensed kitchen for the trailer.
But the busy location on Whitnall at Howard Ave. has turned out to be a good spot for carryout business as well.
Milwaukee Smoked BBQ sells sandwiches, meat by the pound and side dishes.
The meat is seasoned with a dry rub and smoked over hickory wood from Wisconsin that the men chip themselves. Sauces they make are served on the side.
Availability changes daily, Brieske said, and prices are subject to change, but sandwiches (pulled pork, shredded beef and smoked chicken or turkey) are $7.50; meat is $12.99 a pound. St. Louis-style ribs are $11 a half rack, $22 a whole rack.
Milwaukee Smoked BBQ is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Call ahead to see what's available and to double-check prices. For more, (414) 882-7340.
