North Jefferson News
— It's Friday, and we're headed into the first holiday of the summer…
Weather: Really nice. We will have mostly sunny skies throughout the Memorial Day long weekend. Highs today will top out in the upper 70s, increasing to the middle 80s by Monday Nighttime lows will be cool, in the upper 40s tonight and middle 50s later in the weekend. No rain in store for the next seven days.
"Horrific." That's how an eyewitness described to The North Jefferson News a wreck that happened near the intersection of Mt. Olive Road and Mt. Olive Boulevard near Interstate 65 on Thursday afternoon. A man riding a motorcycle went airborne went he ran into a car, whose occupants were not injured. A Life Saver helicopter transported him to UAB Hospital, which has not released his name or condition as of this morning. The wreck happened not long after the end of graduation ceremonies for Mortimer Jordan High School at nearby Gardendale First Baptist Church, and before ceremonies there for Gardendale High; the victim was not believed to be a part of either.
Congressman steps down. Jo Bonner, the Republican who represents Mobile and surrounding areas in the U.S. House of Representatives, announced he will resign later this year to take a vice chancellor's job with the University of Alabama system. His older sister, Judy, is the president of the Tuscaloosa campus. A special election will be set by Gov. Robert Bentley to fill the vacancy, but the seat is expected to remain solidly Republican — the First District is almost as reliably conservative as the Sixth District here in Jefferson and Blount counties.
IRS exec put on leave. Lois Lerner, the director of tax-exempt organizations at the Internal Revenue Service, was placed on administrative leave yesterday after she famously invoked the Fifth Amendment in testimony to a Congressional committee on Wednesday. The move came after Republican lawmakers called for her to resign or be forced out by the Obama administration.
Sports: Tide takes on Bengal Tigers. The SEC Baseball Tournament continues at the Hoover Met today with Alabama facing LSU in a 3 p.m. game, followed by Texas A&M and Vanderbilt. The conference says that some reserved seats remain available for today's game at the box office. The winner of the Tide's game plays Arkansas on Saturday at noon.
We'll be off Monday for Memorial Day; see you again Tuesday morning.

There is an ongoing battle over the proper size and role of the federal government, especially as it relates to conflicts with state governments over legislative authority. Conservatives believe that state and local governments should be empowered to handle local issues such as healthcare, education, immigration, and many other social and economic laws.
Original Constitutional Roles
There is little question that the current role of the federal government far exceeds anything ever imagined by the founders and has clearly taken over many roles originally designated to individual states. The founding fathers, through the U.S. Constitution, sought to limit the possibility of a strong centralized government and in fact gave the federal government a very limited list of responsibilities. Simplified, the founders thought that the federal government should handle issues that it would be difficult or unreasonable for states to handle such as the maintenance of military and defense operations, negotiating with foreign countries, creating currency, and regulating commerce with foreign countries. Ideally, individual states would then handle all most matters that they reasonably could. The founders even went further in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights to prevent the federal government from grabbing too much power.
Benefits of Stronger State Governments
One of the clear benefits of a weaker federal government and stronger state governments is that the needs of each individual state are more easily managed. Alaska, Iowa, Rhode Island, and Florida are all very different states with very different needs, populations, and values. A law that may make sense in New York might make little sense in Alabama. For example: Some states have determined it is necessary to prohibit the use of fireworks due to an environment that is highly susceptible to wild fires. Other states have no such problems and have laws that allow fireworks. It would not be valuable for the federal government to make one standardized law for all states prohibiting fireworks when only a handful of states need such a law in place. State control also empowers states to make tough decisions for their own well-being rather than hope that the federal government will see the states' problem as a priority.
A strong state government also empowers citizens in two ways. First, state governments are far more responsive to the needs of the residents of their state. If important issues are not addressed, then voters can hold elections and vote in people they feel are better suited to handle the problems. However, if an issue is only important to one state and the federal government has authority over that issue, then they have little influence to get the change they seek as they are but a small part of a larger electorate. Second, empowered state governments also allow individuals to choose the state that best fit their own personal values. Families and individuals are able to choose states that either have no or low income taxes, or states with higher ones. They can opt for states with weak or strong guns laws, with restrictions on marriage or without them, and so on. Some people may prefer to live in a state that offers a wide range of government programs and services, others may not. But just as the free market allows individuals to pick and choose products or services they like, so to can they choose a state that best fits their lifestyle. An over-reaching federal government limits this option.
Major State and Federal Government Conflicts
The conflicts between state and federal governments are becoming more common. As the federal government grows larger and begins imposing costly measures on states, states have begun to fight back. While there are many examples of federal-state conflicts, these are a few key current ones.
Health Care
Illegal Immigration
Voter ID Laws
With the passage of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, the federal government gave itself an incredible amount of power that inflicts burdensome regulations on individuals, corporations, and individual states. The passage of the law prompted 26 states to file a lawsuit seeking to overturn the law, and they argued that there were several thousand new laws that were nearly impossible to implement. The suit has since been accepted for review by the Supreme Court and a ruling is expected before the 2012 Presidential elections. While the federal government claims they have the authority to pass what acts as a doorway to nationalized healthcare, states are fighting back on the issue. Conservative lawmakers argue that states should have the most authority to determine laws regarding healthcare. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney passed a state-wide healthcare law when he was governor of Massachusetts that was not popular with conservatives. However, the bill was popular with the people of Massachusetts. While many states would not wish to implement the law he did, Romney argues that this is why state governments should have the power to implement laws that are right for their states.
Another major area of contention in the proper roles of government is with illegal immigration. Many border states such as Texas and Arizona have been on the front lines of illegal immigration. While there are currently tough federal laws dealing with illegal immigration, previous and current Republican and Democratic administrations have refused to enforce many of the laws. This has prompted a number of states to pass their own laws that battle the rise of illegal immigration in their own states. One such example is Arizona, which passed SB 1070, and was then sued by the Obama U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) over certain provisions in the law. The state argues that their own laws mimic the laws of the federal government that are not being enforced.
Over the past several election cycles there have been many alleged instances of voting fraud found to have occurred during the voting process. There have been instances of votes being cast in the names of the recently deceased, allegations of double registrations, and absentee voter fraud. In many states you can simply show up to vote with any registered name and be allowed to vote, without proof. A number of states have sought to make it a requirement to show a government issued ID to vote, which has proven both logical and popular idea among voters. One such state is South Carolina, which passed legislation that would have required voters to present an official government-issued photo ID. The law doesn't seem too unreasonable given that there are laws requiring ID's for all sorts of things including driving, purchasing alcohol or tobacco, and flying on an airplane. But once again, the DOJ interfered and prevented South Carolina from enacting the law.
Current Goal of Conservatives
It remains highly unlikely that the largess of the federal government will return to the role that was originally intended. Ayn Rand once noted that it took over 100 years for the federal government to get as large as it has, and reversing the trend would also take as long a time. However, conservatives must argue the necessity of reducing the size and scope of the federal government and restoring power back to the states. Obviously, the first goal of conservatives is to continue to elect candidates that have the power to stop the trend of an ever-increasing federal government. The 2010 election cycle was a start, but many more strong state-rights advocates are needed to effect real change. Additionally, there is a new movement that would give states the ability to over-ride federal laws if a certain majority signed on. Senator Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming) offered a constitutional amendment that would do just that. This would also provide a fair check-and-balance with a federal government that often claims authority where it constitutionally should have none.

Tour route will prove tough for Wiggins
10:50am Thursday 25th October 2012 in National Sport By Simon Patchett
The route for the 2013 Tour de France was announced on Wednesday and it will not lend itself to Bradley Wiggins staking a claim for consecutive wins.
With more mountainous stages and only 65km of individual time-trials, the 100th edition of the Tour will be a different challenge to this year's event.
"I haven't got that much of an ego. It was always about winning one Tour de France for me and I'm proud of the way that I did it," Wiggins said.
Tour director Christian Prudhomme revealed a 3,360-kilometre, 21-stage route, which takes place entirely in France, beginning on Corsica on June 21 and finishing under floodlights on the most famous boulevard in Paris on July 21.
The decisive blows in the battle for the yellow jersey in 2013 could come on the 18th stage, which for the first time features two ascents of the 21-turn Alpe-d'Huez in a race which incorporates all the fabled climbs.
Team Sky have been coy on suggestions Wiggins will not even be gunning for the Tour title next year, and the 32-year-old admitted he could change targets.
"If everything goes to plan and I get the nod to do the Giro, that's what is going to happen," he told Eurosport. "I'm a great historian of the sport and I'd like to win a pink jersey (for the Giro winner) to go with the yellow one."
The opening three stages will be the first held on the island of Corsica, and Prudhomme revealed it was a simple decision to make.
"For this 100th edition we wanted a place that was beautiful," he said.
"It is the first time since 1966 that a sprinter will have the chance to hold the yellow jersey after stage one."

Bacchus Banquet
It is 37 AD and Caligula is the extravagant Emperor of Rome! It is a time of excesses. It is a time of intrigue. And the latest gala in Caligula's short reign is starting tonight—Bacchus' Banquet!
As a player, you are one of the nine "honored" guests—each with his or her own secret objective. You might be a glutton who is only there for the food and wine. You might be an avaricious opportunist longing for the presents that are often bestowed. You might be a conspirator in one of the many plots to kidnap or assassinate the Emperor. You might even be Caligula himself, exploiting the all too human foibles of his groveling subjects.
Whatever your true goals, you fully participate in the orgy of rich cuisine, fine wine, and elaborate entertainments. Caligula is watching! But be careful, accompanying every course is the potential of a drunken stupor, a subtle poison, or an assassin's dagger—any one of which can destroy you and your aspirations.
So, put on your best toga, cleanse yourself, and hire a food taster. You have an engraved invitation to Bacchus's Banquet, and you are in for the night of your life!

The economy is imploding before our eyes. Long-term neighbors have lost their homes and have moved away in the middle of the night. College students have given up on getting the classes they need to graduate. They've traded their career paths for the commuter lanes, taking them from their morning jobs to their night jobs, which combined won't cover the rent.
It's difficult to justify top City of Milpitas salaries and compensation exceeding $200,000 per year in any economy. With everyone else suffering the effects of this undeclared depression, it's hugely insulting to the taxpayers to maintain such false standards. The City Council likes to see top Milpitas staff positions as career destinations rather than as employment stepping stones. The effort to draw the most qualified employees would be a wise plan, if not for the over-reaching budgetary demands on taxpayers. It was difficult to justify the expense of Milpitas City Hall, seemingly designed as much to show the status of Milpitas in competition with San Jose as it was to serve the needs of the community. We still remember the City's attempts to restrict public access to the very building which we as tax payers were obligated to fund. The City of Milpitas has worked hard to build itself into a bright star at the South end of the Bay despite its more humble beginnings. It's a City overcoming an inferiority complex, striving to not only fit in, but to excel in its participation in growth, development and progressive group think regionalism.
Most disturbing in this momentum toward group think is this City's willingness to post surveillance cameras on every corner, blending us seamlessly into the surveillance society. Smart Meter technology which will in its next iteration, supply agencies with detailed information about our daily habits was adopted in Milpitas without a question about its safety, efficiency or privacy violations, even in light of concerns that were raised in other communities. The cost of such surveillance technologies goes far beyond the monetary obligation. What we have forfeited in personal privacy rights is incalculable.
The City of Milpitas also funds building inspectors to drive by our homes looking for potential building code infractions and then allows inspectors to trespass on our property in pursuit of violations. One of the few benefits of City cut backs has been to pare back on this invasive practice. On a related matter, it's frustrating to see our City Council's compliance with ICELI, which influences all policy under a false sustainability model and serves to implement controls over all land use. ICELI oversees the implementation by counties and cities of the protocols for environmental land control set by Agenda 21 at the first Rio Conference. It serves to achieve bureaucratically what cannot be achieved by the consent of the voters.
We live in a highly chaotic time. We have been keeping our heads down and hoping that others will take the responsibility for finding the fix to our economy, to our political differences and to restore our lost rights. But hope is an empty place holder. It has to be filled with personal responsibility and positive action. Our City won't get out of financial trouble by co-opting the responsibility for employee pensions or by replacing local police officers with regionalized law enforcement and neighborhood surveillance systems. Where can an outsourced law enforcement agency come from when the County's resources are tapped out? Will we have to employ the National Guard? Will drones peer into our yards or follow our children to school? Will we follow the lead of other cities who have accepted corporate donations to support law enforcement and then have corporations expect preferential treatment in return? Or will the law be changed to allow cities like Milpitas to contract with private policing firms such as Blackwater Xe?
In the post-9/11 fervor for fighting terrorism in America, our law makers passed horrible restrictions on our freedoms and civil liberties, gutting the very protections guaranteed by our Bill of Rights and our Constitution. Police officers everywhere are expected to enforce laws that are in clear violation of the Constitution. To speak of the Constitution now is to risk having one's name placed on a list of suspected radicals. Police officers who affirm to uphold their oath to follow the Constitution, to protect and serve the public are too often ostracized. Officers who follow post 9/11 protocols of violence and violation of civil rights have contributed to the general sense of intimidation so inherit in our culture today. Into this mix we have to deal with a series of Executive Orders which have further eroded our freedoms and served to militarize police departments, blurring the lines between war trained soldiers and the officers sworn to protect and serve. This has further added to the tensions between citizens and police.
Still, I would argue that we are better served not to go the way of outsourcing our Police Department or other City Services. Milpitas Police Department Officers are members of our community. They benefit as much as we do from living in a community where individuals' freedoms are still guaranteed. We are only a community when each of us is also an individual whose voice is heard and whose vote counts. We lose that voice if we regionalize. Our voices are not heard when we outsource.
We do need to rethink the compensations structure of our City employees. Zero interest home loans, participation in local credit unions, developing a community currency and supporting not restricting hands on investment in our neighborhoods will do more to help our City employees and restore our stability than regionalization our outsourcing could ever do.
We do need to step back from budgets that include funding the surveillance society. We do not need high tech crowd control vehicles or weaponry. We do not need to promote the top-down regionalism of ICELI and Agenda 21.
Local police departments are designed to protect and serve individuals and communities, not at the pleasure of the Mayor or the City Council or the even by the Executive Orders of a seated President if those orders are in conflict with the rights of sovereign citizens. City Police Officers serve at the obligation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Private agencies, if it should come to that, will not.

A tip I got from someone who matters
Learn how to breath properly. This pertains to everday breathing and not just while you are vocalizing. Keep your mouth closed and teeth together. Now breath in through your nose and try to get in tune with the fact that your belly should inflate somewhat. This is why images of Budah(sp?) always portray him with a large belly. It isn't because he was full of fecal matter and could not defecate, it was because he had so much chi and that his breathing was so perfect.
Chi Gong breathing techniques will help so much. Maybe not with direct vocalization and tone but your lung capacity will be much greater and your natural vocal tone will be able to withstand so much more abuse while churning out harsh chortles and gutteral vocals.
I hope this helps all who read it.

The Danville News
A new campaign to get owners to license their dogs is working.
In Montour County, sales have topped what they were in all of 2012, according to county treasurer Jim Petro.
More than 1,700 regular licenses and more than 500 senior licenses have already been sold in the county. Last year, 1,630 regular licenses and 530 senior licenses were sold.
The campaign to get people to buy licenses began in March, which was declared Dog License Awareness Month, said Michael Pechart, executive deputy secretary of agriculture and acting director of the dog law enforcement office, who was visiting Petro's office Wednesday.
Dog law officers have canvassed Montour County and plan to do more canvasses in the county.
Fifty-one dog wardens and seven supervisors in the state have been educating people that licensing dogs 3 months and older as of Jan. 1 each year is state law.
"We had only sold 1 million licenses in Pennsylvania and there are 12.4 Pennsylvanians. We are pretty sure there are more dogs than 1 in 12 and that some people have more than one dog," Pechart said.
"A lot of people don't realize the benefits of having a license on a dog. If the dog runs off and is picked up by a dog warden or police, it is held for 48 hours. If the owner isn't found, we have to take it to a shelter and most of the shelters are hurting financially and full. We pick up 14,000 stray dogs a year in Pennsylvania. It's an epidemic. If we pick a dog up and can't take it to the local shelter, we would have to take it to a neighboring county or multiple counties away — what's the chance of getting the dog back?" he said.
"A license is the dog's ticket home," Pechart said.
He said dog wardens will be knocking on doors checking for licenses. If owners don't have licenses, they can be fined up to $300.
The officers will also make sure the dogs are up to date on rabies vaccines. "Pennsylvania is one of the top five states in the U.S. for rabies positive cases. It's very important," he said.
Petro said a fox was confirmed recently to have rabies in West Hemlock Township where he lives.
Money collected from dog license sales is used to enforce licensing and rabies vaccines, for officers to inspect nearly 2,300 kennels twice a year in the state and to administer the dangerous dog law with more than 500 dogs registered as having bitten or showing propensity to bite in the state, Pechart said.
Dog wardens work with humane society police officers to enforce animal cruelty laws. "We have a tremendous number of dogs in hoarding and fighting," he said.

Long before meeting Callie Craumer of Colony Florist there were hints of her approach to customer service and embrace of the Greenwich community.
There was the elegant silver bowl brimming with dog biscuits and a tandem waterbowl. Dogs strolling the Avenue learned to anticipate the treats, reminding their owners to stop and smell the flowers. And oh, the fragrant hyacinth, the lilies, and the roses that perfumed the sidewalk.
Originally from St. Louis, MO, Craumer arrived in Greenwich 30 years ago via Hamilton, NY where she attended Colgate University. Sending her three children to Glenville School, Western Middle, and Greenwich High School, Craumer was the perennial volunteer mom before she became a florist.
Craumer was the third owner of Colony, which, since 1946, has been family owned. Originally located at the top of Greenwich Avenue, the previous owners moved the shop to Railroad Avenue. In March 2003, Craumer moved the business to 315 Greenwich Ave.
While the store atmosphere was relaxed and customers never rushed, Craumer described the competition as fierce. "You're competing with the grocery store, the news stand, other flower shops, the Internet, 1-800 whatever. So I always went above and beyond with my customers," Craumer said.
As of November 14th, Craumer's Colony Florist was sold to McArdle's Florist and Garden Center.
Though Craumer did consider moving when she learned she'd lost her lease, she explained that "a florist can't just move into any space. You have coolers and sinks. You need a work space and a retail space. You need floors suitable for dirt, waste, and water. There's always a mess."
As part of the sale agreement, McArdle's is running Colony on the Avenue through December and Colony's two floral designers were offered jobs at McArdle's. John Gulias and Erin Mcinery-Smith made the move.
James McArdle described the deal with Colony as amicable. "It was very important to Callie that we treated her customers well. She gave us her customer records, with a history of each account including gift lists and address information."
"It's working out well with floral designers," said McArdle. "We have expanded our floral department. It's gaining in reputation and our level of creativity has expanded," he said, adding that last year George von Tobel, who formerly owned "Flowers by George" in Cos Cob, also joined the team at 48 Arch St.
With no regrets about the bargain she struck with McArdle's – a 100+ year-old, four-generation, family-owned business – Craumer did admit to having some mixed feelings about leaving and the future of Greenwich Avenue. "I understand rents are what the market will bear, but if we don't support the local merchants, they simply won't exist."
What's Next?
Craumer plans to spend time marketing "The Art of Giving Flowers," a book she wrote, and she is busy helping her daughter plan her wedding. Switching gears has also meant having time to read for pleasure, to cook, to reflect after 10 busy years on what will come next.

Writing Tip for Today: In good scene writing, it's also vital to inform the reader of the What, How and Why. But I believe your reader won't get that far unless you provide some very basic info. Here's what I mean:
- Set Your Scene Before Dialogue. If your novel opens with a line of dialogue, the reader won't yet know if it is spoken by a prom queen, a warrior or a mouse. By inserting the attribution (a tag that identifies who is talking) BEFORE the actual spoken words, at least the reader gets some idea of the WHO. And it's easy to add in clues about where and when the character is.
- Keep the Focus on the Character. In contrast, don't go on for many sentences about the lush landscape or the time period without also letting us see them through the character's eyes. This is the heart of Point of View (POV). Most writers are not James Mitchener, able to hook the reader with long descriptions of some primordial (but no human) perspective. The omniscient viewpoint or "God's eye" view, can't help us know one particular character with some particular problems. We want to be somebody, root for somebody, laugh and cry with SOMEbody. That somebody is your main POV character, who can tell us where and when we are.
- Without a Reference, it's Contemporary. If your story is contemporary, you don't need to tell us anything about it. Readers assume this unless told otherwise. If you want the reader to be any time except right now, cue her early on--probably in the first sentence. Readers don't like to read along for pages and suddenly discover they've imagined the story world at the wrong place or time. ALWAYS remember: if your reader ever feels confused about where or when they are in the story, or who is "speaking" to them, they may say, "I'll just finish this later." And later will be lucky to ever arrive. Orient your readers!

Asset Acceptance, one of the biggest and most-complained about debt collectors/debt purchasers, recently agreed to a $2.5 million settlement to an FTC lawsuit. Asset Acceptance faced a slew of allegations including collecting debts from identity theft victims, providing false information to the credit bureaus, pursuing debts after the statute of limitations expired, and tricking consumers into restarting the statute of limitations.
As part of the settlement, Asset Acceptance is required to investigate consumer disputes over debt validity and notify consumers before placing negative information on their credit reports. Both are already part of existing law, the FDCPA and FCRA respectively.
Asset Acceptance agreed not to sue debtors over debts that have passed the statute of limitations and to inform debtors when their debt debt may be "too old to be legally enforceable that it will not sue to collect on that debt." In a statement to Business Week, an Asset Acceptance representative says they'll use the phrasing, "Given the age of the debt we will not sue you." If it's used correctly, the new phrasing will eliminate many questions over whether the statute of limitations on a debt has expired.
Asset Acceptance's settlement is the second-largest FTC settlement with a debt collector since a settlement with West Asset Management for $2.8 million in March 2011. West Asset Management was accused of repeatedly calling consumers even about debts that weren't theirs, informing third-parties of debts, ignoring written requests to stop communication about debts, withdrawing money from consumer accounts without permission, and falsely claiming consumers would be sued over the debts.
Complaining to the FTC may seem useless, but it's consumer complaints that drive the FTC to crackdown on debt collectors and other businesses that violate consumer rights. Complain to FTC at FTCComplaintAssistant.gov or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP. Your State Attorney General is another place to lodge complaints against debt collectors and other businesses.

Lori Gruen, PhD
May 12th, 2011 by Lori Gruen
I'm a Professor of Philosophy, Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University. I also co-coordinate Wesleyan Animal Studies and Direct the Ethics in Society Project.
My work lies at the intersection of ethical theory and ethical practice, with a particular focus on ethical issues that impact those often overlooked in traditional ethical investigations, e.g. women, people of color, non-human animals.
Most of my work is guided by two broad philosophical commitments. First, is the belief that ethics should be aimed primarily at enhancing well-being. I am usually considered a consequentialist, although my consequentialism is distinct from familiar forms of consequentialism in a number of ways. The second philosophical commitment that motivates and is expressed in my work is a commitment to justice, although my interest in justice tends to identify unjust distributions of benefits and burdens in areas that have previously been set to the side by others working on questions of justice. So, for example, I am concerned about the ways in which environmental degradation or advances in biotechnologies disproportionately harms poor communities, communities of color, women and children. In addition to the familiar concerns about injustice against certain individuals or communities of people, my work is also centrally concerned with injustice to non-humans.
I am the author of the recently published Ethics and Animals: An Introduction.

New Details in Washington State Double Murder/Suicide
There are new details this morning on how a Washington State father tried to kill his two sons just before igniting the fiery explosion that engulfed them all.
Police say Josh Powell tried to kill 7 year old Charles and 5 year old Braden with a hatchet before the fire could take their lives. Pierce County Sheriff's Spokesperson Ed Troyer said he wasn't sure of Powell's intentions.
Troyer said, "I don't know if intent was to try and put them out before the fire but he didn't do a very good job of it."
Powell was the prime suspect in the disappearance of his wife.
The boys were taken to Powell's home on Sunday by a case worker. The case worker was locked out of the house and Powell set the house on fire, killing him and his two sons.
There were signs that he had been planning his final act. He donated the kids' toys to a charity and sent many goodbye emails.

Domaine de CABRIERES: Treat yourself with a night in a castle! (2)
As I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, as the price/quality ratio is so good, I add a second tip. . . :)
The immediate surroundings of the hotel are decorated with flowers of course, and also old agricultural tools, like this grape press you can see on picture 1; agricultural tools? Euh, this thing here (picture 2), is probably not for use on wheat fields. . . .
Back in the room (picture 3) with view over the valley, and in the lobby (picture 4), sober nice décor.
Ah! I wrote about playing chess in the previous tip; next morning, the pieces had been placed back. . . . . . (picture 5).
I was late, I would have enjoyed staying longer here, but I did not intend to stay here at the beginning of the previous day; the Cévennes catch you, in some way. . . . .
51 Euros per night, dinner and breakfast included (yes, dinner!)

Domaine de Cabrieres: Treat yourself with a night in a castle!
Few hundreds metres uphill, outside the village of St Jean du Gard, the Chateau de Cabrieres offers a nice look out over the village and the Gardon Valley; this castle, built in the 18th century on ruins of an old 12th century castle, is surrounded by a 30 hectares slightly landscaped park where a walk in the fresh morning atmosphere is not the least pleasure you can experience there; it is incredibly quiet and your night will not be disturbed by any traffic noise. . . . .
Chateau, well a small chateau, but a nice chateau (picture 1), with less than 20 rooms, each room different, and when you have the luck to have choice, visit the rooms with the owner or an employee, make your choice! I had the sun in the morning, wonderful wake-up (picture 2); visit also the big meeting rooms (the hotel is a venue for seminars, weddings. . . ), with some nice furniture. What I liked the most was the view on the valley (picture 3), the dinner for its excellent food (souris d'agneau, (lambs leg "mouse"), local cheese, crème brûlée) and wine, taken in a glass-walled veranda in the garden (picture 4). The morning walk in the park, with a big variety of trees (picture 5) was also very enjoyable.
There is a bit of "modern" (internet, WIFI access. . . ) technology in that hotel, but you can also enjoy tennis courts, a swimming pool, organisation of trips around, and also a giant chess game I enjoyed with another solitary customer, with a few beers.
Well, a very nice place to stay for a night or for a "base camp" for exploring the Cévennes.
51 Euros per night dinner and breakfast included (yes, dinner!)

Mas Lou Abeilhs: Adorable B & B near St Germain de Calberte
I had the pleasure to discover this wonderful bed and breakfast last time I went. It is located in a restaured hamlet/farm inside the Parc des Cévennes, about 6 km from St Germain de Calberte. The owners buit everything themselves and did a great job. The rooms are individual little houses, you have your own private terraces, great views. It costs 45 euros for a room for 2 persons, including taxes. It is isolated at the end of a dirt road. You take breakfast on a beautiful terrace with a great view. Just amazing!
The lady makes diner (very good!) if you ask in advance (17 euros including tax and tip and beverage).

Camping, Bed and Breakfasts, gites...
There are numerous choices in terms of accomodations in C?vennes. My favorite type is a restaured old house or farm which the owners transformed in guesthouses or B&B. Below are good websites (all part of http://causses-cevennes.com/).
Camping (Note that in France you are not allowed to camp in the wild, but only in designated areas!)
Bed and Breakfast
Holiday cottage
G?te (good for groups or families and long stays):

As is, this recipe isn't good--there's no sauce and no flavor. To make this recipe AMAZING, double all the ingredients (other than the pasta) and add a chicken bullion cube. When adding the olive oil, add a few tablespoons of tomato paste and let the sauce come to a boil before adding the pasta. I've even added a litte heavy cream to the sauce and it's great that way too.
With some "adjustments" this recipe was absolutly wonderful and I intend on making this again..and again...What is great about it is you could serve as is..or even add some cut up marinated chicken breasts, or some shrimp into the mix. This time I added a pound of medium sized shrimp..next time, I think I may try some chicken. I also love the fact that this can be eaten cold or hot! Now for the "adjustments" I didn't use a red onion, only because I am not too fond of them, so I used a yellow onion instead, and the whole thing, not just 1/2. I also used a whole red pepper instead of 1/2 and a few more mushrooms than that what was called for. **A note for next time though....the recommened amount of veggies and pasta ratio seemed to be a little off..A 1 lb box of bow tie pasta makes a lot. I think next time I will add 2 zucchini and 2 squash instead of 1 each, and a lot more mushrooms (we just love mushrooms), along with the whole onion and the whole red pepper..Maybe even a whole yellow pepper added to the mix would be nice. I also wonder how this would taste using a can or two of rotelle tomatoes (chopped tomatoes with green chilis) instead of the cut up roma tomatoes....Might give it a nice "bite"
This pasta dish was easy to make and full of flavor! I served it to a dinner party of 6 and it was a huge hit with them! I would suggest it to anyone who wants a quick and easy pasta dish to make.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the uS, though CRC death can be reduced by screening. However, there is uncertainty as to which screening strategy is most clinically and cost-effective from a population perspective where the aim is to optimize completion of the entire screening process continuum. Modeling studies suggest benefits and harms of colonoscopy and stool blood test strategies are similar, but generally assume 100% participation and subsequent clinically appropriate follow up--something never achieved in clinical practice. Comparative effectiveness studies of testing strategies, including comparisons of specific tests and approaches to optimizing effective test use, are necessary. Safety-net health systems care for populations at increased risk for adverse CRC outcomes, such as the uninsured and minorities, and have more limited resources. Therefore, safety-nets must resolve the uncertainty regarding the most effective screening strategy. We will conduct a system-level, randomized comparative effectiveness trial of the benefits, harms, and costs of 3 screening strategies over 3 years, among 6000 patients age 50-64 years, who are not up-to-date with CRC screening, served by a large safety net health system. The three strategies studied will be: 1) Fecal immunochemical testing, with annual mailed invitation outreach (including a test kit), and a centralized process to promote participation and complete clinical follow up (FiT); 2) Colonoscopy, with annual mailed invitation outreach, and a centralized process to promote participation and complete clinical follow up (Colo); 3) usual Care, with no mailed invitation outreach, and screening offered at primary care visits. The primary measure of benefit will be an outcome measure that summarizes patient-specific effective screening successes. The primary measure of harm will be screening non-participation. The primary measure of cost will be cost per-patient effectively screened. our specific aims are to: 1) Compare benefits, harms, and costs of a FiT strategy versus a Colo strategy for CRC screening among patients not up-to-date with screening, and 2) Compare benefits, harms, and costs of a) the FiT strategy vs. usual Care and b) the Colo strategy vs. usual Care for CRC screening.
The target study population includes 6000 patients (names and contact information selected from the Parkland-UT Southwestern PROSPR Center database IRB #082011-040) who are not up-to-date with CRC screening, age 50-64 years, seen one or more times at a Parkland primary care clinic, and participants in Parkland[Single Quote]s medical assistance program for the uninsured, Parkland Health Plus (Parkland Health Plus insurance and >1 primary care visit within one year (Index Year)). Information regarding prior CRC screening will based on Epic codes and EMR-derived diagnosis and procedure codes (CPT, ICD-9, HCPCS, LOINC) for colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or stool blood testing48. Both English and Spanish speakers will be eligible for participation. No racial or ethnic group will be excluded from participation.

PHOTO CALL: The Seventh Annual Broadway Beauty Pageant
By Matthew Blank
Orion Griffiths, Mr. Pippin, was crowned the winner of the sold-out, seventh annual Broadway Beauty Pageant, which was held May 20 at the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.
The event, which was hosted by four-time Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh, raised over $50,000 to benefit the Ali Forney Center, which provides shelter to homeless LGBT youth in New York City.
The annual Pageant featured male cast members representing their respective Broadway shows, competing for the title crown through talent, interview and swimsuit competitions. The contestants went head to head in front of a panel of celebrity judges, but the final vote was in the hands of audience members.

INDIANAPOLIS — Shopping for longtime teammate Robert Mathis' wedding gift proved rather easy for Reggie Wayne.
"A 'Game Over' t-shirt," Wayne quipped Wednesday when asked what he purchased. "You know, I signed up on his registry, and I got him a ton of things. Well-deserved. I'm happy for him. Whenever you see one of your brethren continue to grow in life, you are happy for him."
Moments like Mathis' nuptials last Saturday, however, are coming fewer and farther between for the 34-year-old Wayne.
Normally found working out at his south Florida home this time of year, the Indianapolis Colts wide receiver is back in the Circle City this week going through organized team activities alongside his teammates.
And, just as was the case a year ago, part of the challenge is learning everyone's name. Wayne, 32-year-old Mathis, 28-year-old Antoine Bethea and 40-year-old Adam Vinatieri are the only remaining faces from the Colts' Super Bowl XLI championship team of seven seasons ago.
A new generation, led by fresh-faced quarterback Andrew Luck, crashed into Indy last season and produced a surprising 11-5 record and a wild-card playoff berth.
But Wayne proved there's still a place for the older guys at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Spurning offers to leave via free agency, he caught 106 passes for 1,355 yards and five touchdowns last year. Those numbers are eerily similar to the totals he produced in 2010 (111, 1,355, 6) — his final season playing alongside four-time MVP Peyton Manning.
Unsurprisingly, Wayne has high praise for Luck as the duo prepares for their second year together.
"He's my quarterback so I'm going to be biased," Wayne said. "It's like he's a seven-, eight-, nine-year vet. He's handled everything extraordinarily well. He's doing a great job. He's talking in meetings, and he has a little hand up on everybody with this offense, and that's even better. But he's doing what a quarterback should. He's being a leader and showing everybody what to do."

Star Wars, Jedi Kinght: Jedi Academy
Written by Hiram OCicero-McKnoxt // July 20, 2011 // Video Games // 1 Comment
Every generation of video games has its go-to titles, (see Mario, Sonic, Halo, Call of Duty, Pac-Man, Tetris) and we keep seeing reboot after reboot of the same games. As with movies now, it's just easier and lower risk to put out a sequel, the marketing works already done for you and you know you have a dedicated audience ready to consume. The games that get made are the ones that'll probably sell, and the games that get remade are reboots of the ones that sold, but what about the ones that didn't sell? If we treat video games with the same sensibilities as we treat the rest of our popular culture…
Pictured Above: our generation's legacy… look at it!
So let's take some time to remember gaming history's forgotten soldiers; the games that you may have heard of, but never played. In this, the first installment of "Why They Were Great," we begin to examine those games that, although you won't see a multi-million dollar reboot anytime soon, made their generation of gaming worth playing. We will begin with Star Wars, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
Full Disclosure: the only "clan" I was ever in was the Orange Tuscan Clan on Academy, I was in junior high. It was a different time and I was young.
Why It was Great
It was an awesome game, that came at the merger of a few gaming innovations.
1. A useful controller
For gamers of the giant handed variety.
3. Graphics that were actually presentable
Before this generation, if you wanted to play good games, you played a Nintendo 64 (I refuse to acknowledge that Playstation existed at the time) and that meant that you had to either wear thumb protection, or develop blisters on your thumb trying to operate the one joystick, and if the game allowed it, use the c buttons to control the camera.
Made before the discovery that humans have two hands instead of three.
The Xbox/Gamecube generation of consoles found a way to fix this problem, and that's why I can't play Goldeneye for 64 anymore, because moving with one stick and looking with another just makes too much sense.
So in Jedi Academy, you could switch between 3rd and 1st person perspective (sort of). And it worked! In multiplayer! You could look behind you without wasting 15 seconds travelling in the opposite direction That level of control allowed for a fast paced and truly fun game. Couple that with a sizable online presence of gamers not yet experienced, and you have one of the first easily accessible MMOs.
It had a terrific good storyline: You were a new Padawan in Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order, and your fighting the remnant of the old Empire, and stuff happens and you fight people and you see a neat statue of Darth Vader and do all the typical star warsy space travel. But what makes the storymode worth playing is that you could customize the main characters force abilities; choose to use light or dark powers; choose between three different endings (granted they were all pretty much the same, but they were your decisions, and you made them, it wasn't like most games today where they put little to no effort into the storyline, treat it like a crappy interactive movie, and expect the entire game to be about online play). This game was made before playing online was the norm, and that being the case, it helped set the bar for online console games to come.
Entire books could, and should, be written about the development of online gaming as it's known today, but the abbreviated version reads like this: Before Xbox live, online gaming on your television from your console was unheard of by the overwhelming majority of gamers, but in the winter of 2002 Microsoft launched Xbox live to some deal of success. However, as the Wii taught us, a platform is only as good as the games made for it and Jedi Academy delivered. It was a good game with user-friendly/intuitive controls, quality maps, graphics, and game modes, not to mention it was a Star Wars game, so you were able to collectively experience being transported to the Star Wars universe. This was before in-game communication had been reduced to racism and "trolling" and everything was still new, so people enjoyed talking to other players about the game and strategizing, exchanging tips and actually interacting, which made for one of the best online gaming experience I've ever had.
Maybe I'm just finally getting old, I'm at that point where "back in my day" things were just better, but a lot of what made Jedi Academy great was the online community, and the quality of play online, and I'm all but certain that we'll never see a mostly-courteous and engaging attitude toward online gaming, but if you don't mind parting with 10 bucks, go to eBay or your local usedgamesseller (I'm making that a thing, like "bookseller") and pick up a copy. It'll remind you of the way things were before video game developers gave up.

Two people face weapons charges following a traffic stop in Waterloo on Wednesday.
The Waterloo Police Department's Violent Crime Apprehension Team recovered two handguns during the traffic stop near Logan Avenue and Conger Street Wednesday.
According to officials, the officers stopped a vehicle around 3:15 p.m. for a traffic violation.
Officers identified the driver as 17-year-old Nathaniel Taylor Matlock and the passenger was identified as 19-year-old James Edward Horton, both of Waterloo.
During the investigation, officers used K9 to search the vehicle, which found a loaded .25 semi-automatic handgun under Matlock's seat and a loaded .22 caliber revolver under Horton's seat.
The pair are charged with carrying weapons and were taken into the Black Hawk County Jail.
