---- — NEWBURYPORT — Not many people can come to a new area and claim to have left their mark on it just 15 years later, but as the founder of Kids as Peacemakers, a non-profit organization created to foster peace and inspire kids and teens to create a more peaceful world, Merle Forney has.
"People talk about my smile," said Forney. "I've been told that I smile a lot. I'm not aware of it that much."
Born into family with members of a peace church and the Church of the Brethren, Forney, 88, believes that peace had been bred into him.
"We're all human and we're all influenced by a lot of things," Forney said. "But it comes back to my training and my life. I am turned off by violence. I had served in the Army during World War II and that, along with my church background, informed me that people should speak out and try to do something positive to counteract the negative and violence."
A retired policy writer for the Department of Health and Human Services, Forney and his wife, Margaret, moved to Newburyport from Silver Spring Maryland in November 1998 to be closer to their daughter and grandchildren. The Forneys soon joined the Central Congregational Church and began making friends.
"I needed a hobby," Forney admitted.
Inspired by a model developed by his former church, Forney began the Dove Campaign to support the designation of "May as Peace Month" in Massachusetts in 1999. The campaign then reached out to schools, churches and social organizations to begin designing peace murals with the words; "Kids as Peacemakers" incorporated into them and the rest is area history.
"The best way was to contact as many churches, schools and social organizations that have a teaching responsibility to children," said Forney. "Our task was to ask that they teach their children to adopt peace and peaceful living as a way to reduce violence in the community. Kids are the best educators of their parents, and if we can get kids to be concerned about nonviolence and talking to their parents, I think there could be some progress in this area."
Progress was certainly made.
The Dove Campaign was incorporated as Kids as Peacemakers in 2005. Forney estimates he has sent out over 300 sheets of plywood to all the schools in Newburyport, as well as many in the surrounding communities, involving over 3000 students in the creation of over 20 murals that now grace several area towns including Lowell, Amesbury, Haverhill, Methuen, Lawrence, Byfield and West Newbury, where the latest of two new murals have gone up at the Page School and St. Ann's Catholic Church.
"I don't think it was me as much as the fact that a lot of people reacted to it and made it happen," Forney said. "Because I couldn't do it on my own."
Kids as Peacemakers has also developed many partnerships along the way, including one with a similar national organization, On Earth Peace, which has broadened their reach. The child abuse prevention organization, the National Exchange Club oversees the Kids as Peacemakers program now and adopted its mural program in 2006.
"Many things have happened in my life that I can't explain," Forney said. "I'm 88 years old, going to be 89 in August. I had a good ride and I have had a wonderful life."
Before he and his wife leave for Pennsylvania, Forney is overseeing the installation of the latest Newburyport mural at Park Circle.
"There is some sadness," said Forney of his and Margaret's departure. "But we also won't miss a few things, like the rebuilding of the I-95 bridge and the finalization of the traffic circle by the Chain Bridge. But we're going to miss a lot of people and the different organizations that we have been a part of. It's just that, we are at a stage in life where we've been fortunate enough to have enough resources that we can go into a retirement community and stay there for the rest of our lives."

Port Arthur News
Retail development of frontage property at Jack Brooks Regional Airport is one step closer to fruition.
Jefferson County Commissioners recently approved a letter of intent to enter a ground lease from Accelerated Development for the development of 68 acres of land.
Pat Sauer, principal and director of development for the Phoenix, Ariz. company which has offices in Dallas, visited with members of the Nederland Economic Development Corporation on Monday. The County and the NEDC entered into an interlocal agreement allowing the NEDC to act as Real Estate advisor for the airport less than a year ago.
Sauer explained the conceptual plan calls for approximately 450,000 square feet of retail development and six to eight restaurants.
"We see this as a power center location," Sauer said. "It's mixed with big box, mid-sized junior anchor and pad restaurant and other retail who want to locate here."
Success depends largely on demand created from marketing and exposure; Sauer is optimistic the firm can generate the demand and bring in the retailers.
NEDC Executive Director Mark Rantala said the property compliments Central Mall much as Dowlen Road compliments Parkdale Mall.
Accelerated Developments has identified a list of candidates and began discussions with retailers, he said.
"We are excited about the opportunity to work with the EDC and the County to develop this property and add even more to the robust economy of Jefferson County," he said. "The site is well positioned in terms of spacing from other retail hubs and we believe the market is under-served. This property has never really been available and tracts of this size are difficult to assemble in a developed market. Overall, we are optimistic that retailers will respond well to the offering."
NEDC Board President Larry Ducharme is also pleased with the possibilities of the project.
"We believe that a real opportunity for this project exists. We are excited to have identified a developer with this amount of experience," Ducharme said. "As with any project of this type it is dependent upon the retailers and the national economy. We believe this site is very competitive."
If all goes as planned construction could start by the end of 2014, he added.
The development project is set to go forward even with the resignation of Rantala from the NEDC and American Airline's $1.5 million dollar Minimum Revenue Guarantee paid for by governing entities and individuals within the county.
Sauer said the development is not so much tied to the airport as it is largely driven by roof tops.

Review: Rabbit Hole
|John Cameron Mitchell
|Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Sandra Oh, Dianne Wiest, Tammy Blanchard, Miles Teller
|17 DEC (US) 4 FEB (UK) Certificate 12A
We join Becca and Howie eight months after their four year-old son Danny is hit by a car and killed. Emotions are still raw; they avoid their neighbours, bicker with family members and attend group therapy sessions populated by "God freaks". Rabbit Hole is the story of how this couple cope with their grief, or utterly fail to cope, as the case may be. As you might imagine, levity is in short supply, even if Empire magazine did call it "unexpectedly hilarious" (yeah, maybe if you're tripping balls at the time).
I have no problem with a movie that tackles a difficult issue such as the loss of a young child, but the set-up does tend to feel a little aimless. It's less a linear narrative, more a series of fragments of Becca and Howie's lives. They'll try anything to take their minds off their tragedy - bowling, smoking pot, making unscheduled visits to work - but the truth can't be avoided, and it rarely feels like the movie progresses as a result.
Kidman and Eckhart are both mightily impressive, and both nail the award-baiting opportunities to a) fly off the handle and become super-aggressive, and b) break down in moments of emotional introspection. Rabbit Hole feels like a showcase for its A-list cast to flex their theatrical muscles; it's a delicate glass cabinet of a movie that's meant to be placed on a shelf and admired from afar but never really touched.
The supporting cast warm the mood a little; Dianne Wiest is great and receives the brunt of daughter Becca's barbs, while Sandra Oh is superb as a fellow griefer somewhat closer to the light at the end of the tunnel than the central couple. Young newcomer Miles Teller plays perhaps the most complex part - that of the driver who accidentally killed poor Danny - and carries it off with awkward ease; his curious relationship with Kidman is one of the movie's high points.
Rabbit Hole is hardly what you'd call a date movie, and it's difficult to see what kind of audiences it'd appeal to outside of awards season chin-strokers. It's well-written and boasts two brilliant performances but ultimately, The Grief Olympics proves almost too exhausting to keep up with. Still, it's got a brilliant poster - although you'd have to be a complete and utter sadist to put it on your wall.

Youth Field
Day a greatsuccess
We would like to express thanks on behalf of the 154 students and their parents for the efforts put forth by the various groups and individuals who sponsored the Youth Field Day events held at the Izaak Walton League in Ottumwa on May 18.
The Wapello Strutting Toms represented the National Wild Turkey Federation by demonstrating the full gamut of turkey hunting. Wapello County Pheasants Forever demonstrated hunting with bird dogs. Southern Iowa Friends of the NRA sponsored trapshooting, put on by the Isaak Walton League. The Ikes also enabled students to enjoy target practice with BB guns and experience the firepower of rifles as well. The Iowa DNR, represented by the Wapello County Soil and Water Conservation District, displayed live examples of animals that nature enthusiasts enjoy in Iowa's outdoors: amphibians, reptiles, insects and more. The Wapello County Conservation Board demonstrated the tracking of animals, focusing on how to identify what animals exist in the environment around us, by the evidences they leave behind. The Wapello Chiefs Bowman and Iowa Bowman's Association delivered archery lessons and practice from coaches of Cardinal School's archery team. AMS Bow Fishing represented the Bowfishing Association of Iowa by presenting their gear, ranging from a fully equipped boat all the way down to the barbed arrows, and giving students an opportunity to shoot arrows at targets floating in the lake. Furbearers Unlimited, along with the National Trappers Association, presented samples of furs and demonstrated trapping techniques for various types of furbearing animals.
All the instructors educated the students on safety, as well as the importance of preserving and protecting our environment and the creatures that live in the wild. These groups delivered informative material in a highly professional manner, showing their love and expertise for the sports and careers they represented.
There were numerous sponsors that contributed to this event, either financially or with supplies, who made it possible for the Youth Field Day to enjoy a successful eighth year with record turnout. We greatly appreciate your efforts and outpouring of support.

Guitar Tuning Basics

Guitar Tuning Basics
Before you learn how to do that fancy guitar stuff that you have been yapping about these past few weeks. You should first learn a basic, a fundamental skill that is not that difficult but as important as anything else. What I am talking about right now is no other than "Tuning". You heard it right. Tuning the guitar is as important as anything else. How can you suppose to produce a quality tone when your guitar is out of tune? See the weight of importance there? Common sense would tell you in the head that to learn guitar, must learn tuning.
Guitar Tuning Basics – How to do it
Basically, there are two major ways to do it. One is to base the notes on an electric piano (it never goes out of tune) or you could also use an electric tuner. We will not fuzz about the tuning pipes and stuff because this is the digital age baby. So how to do it?
Using an Electronic Piano – all you have to do is to base the 6 strings to the following notes: 6th – Low E, 5th – A, 4th – D, 3rd – G, 2nd – B, and 1st – high E. notice the numbers; these are the strings and the letters are the notes.
Guitar Tuning Basics – how to do it on an electronic tuner?
All you have to do is to plug it directly to the tuner if you are using an electric guitar and wind the tuning pegs until the indicator tells you that it is tuned. You will know it when the dial is on the middle or sometimes other tuners have different methods of telling you so. But usually, it's a dial that points to the middle which indicates that your string is already tuned. That's guitar tuning basics.

The Heat's uncharacteristic defensive lapse in the fourth quarter of Game 1 continued to gnaw at Heat coach Erik Spoelstra a day after his team's 93-86 loss to the Bulls on Monday night.
The Heat was outgunned 35-24 in the final period, with the Bulls scoring the final 10 points of the game. At the center of Chicago's dominant late-game charge was diminutive point guard Nate Robinson, who scored nine of the Bulls' final 12 points, including the last seven of the game.
The days between games in a tight series are always about making the proper adjustments, but Spoelstra bristled when asked a question about his decision to sub out defensive specialist Norris Cole in favor of starter Mario Chalmers with 5:38 left in the game. With Chalmers and Ray Allen guarding the perimeter, Robinson had a hand (points or assists) in 14 of the Bulls' final 17 points, including a driving, finger-roll layup that put Chicago ahead 90-86 with 45.5 seconds left.
"The guy had [27 points], so he had it going most of the game," Spoelstra said of Robinson.
If Robinson's ability to create havoc in the Bulls' pick-and-roll game seemed vaguely familiar, that's because former Dallas Mavericks reserve J.J. Barea, also tiny by NBA standards, pestered the Heat in similar fashion during the 2011 NBA Finals. Robinson had his breakout series last week against the Nets, averaging nearly four more points per game than in the regular season, and he will continue to be a focal point of the Bulls' offense with guards Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich out of action. He had 27 points and nine assists in Game 1.
Robinson found room to operate against the Heat late in the game, but it's not like he wasn't on the Heat's scouting report. Allen emphasized putting pressure on Robinson before the series started, saying the Nets let Robinson "move all over the place."
"The pick and rolls he came off, he was very free," Allen said a day before the second-round series began.
But it takes two levels of defenders to deny a player of Robinson's quickness and strength of a clear path to the basket, so placing all of the blame on Allen and Chalmers would be inaccurate. The Heat's frontcourt players share equal responsibility for picking up Robinson once he moves into the paint.
After Monday's defensive debacle, LeBron James said he "wouldn't be surprised" if he was "stuck" guarding Robinson late in games. "I'll take the challenge on anyone," James said.
Heading into Game 2, Spoelstra is more concerned about the Heat's ball movement late in games than getting James more shots in the first half. James attempted just six shots in the first half in Game 1 and scored only two points, a career postseason low.
"Offensively in the first half, we actually had good looks, and we'll take those looks that we got," Spoelstra said. "[James] was part of the facilitating. That wasn't our problem. Our guys understand that. In the second half, the ball stopped moving. We stopped committing to executing offense, and they flattened us out."
• It's unlikely that Bulls forward Luol Deng will be available for Game 2, but Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau didn't rule him out Tuesday. Deng is recovering from a spinal tap after a meningitis scare during the Bulls' first-round series. He did not fly with the team to Miami on Sunday and remains in Chicago. Doctors will decide Wednesday morning if Deng is healthy enough to fly down for Game 2.
Hinrich (sore calf) also seems doubtful for Game 2. He reported having difficulty moving Tuesday.

Make voting mandatory
With an average voter turnout of approximately 50 percent since 1960, why are we intent on making it more difficult for people to vote? We should be doing all we can to encourage Americans to perform the most important function of citizenship, but instead we continually create obstacles.
While we will toss into jail anyone who does not respond to jury duty or does not pay their taxes, we allow people not to vote, the most important function of all.
The right to vote is mandatory in some countries, and their voter turnout is as follows: Australia 95 percent, Chile 93 percent, Belgium 91 percent and Greece 86 percent, to name a few.
With this turnout, the people of these counties truly have spoken, and the elected government is not guessing as to the people's opinion. If someone chooses not to vote, a penalty is imposed ($20 to $50).
We are laughed at when we declare our desire to spread democracy while demonstrating our disdain by our abysmal participation in the process. Would it not be refreshing to have politicians know how America actually feels about certain issues? Would Americans acquire a better respect for their government and feel a part of the process?
Register everyone over 18 and let them know voting is required, then let us see what America really thinks.

White Lace Cakes recently opened at 1403 Helmo Ave. N., in Oakdale.
Located at the former site of Mattison's Specialty Bread and Pino's Authentic Italian, the space has been transformed into a French patisserie and cake parlour.
Owner and operator Deborah Wright opened up , on Nov. 15. Her shop specializes in custom cakes and French pastries, including macarons (not to be mistaken for macaroons, though she also offers those), truffles, chocolates, croissants and more.
Wright said that she only knows of about four places in the Twin Cities that offer macarons, which are a French specialty and known for being a tempermental dessert to make.
"I had one guy tell me that it was the best macaron he ever had, and he even lived in Europe," Wright said. "It took me about 63 batches before I got it right."
Wright prides herself in making all of her baked goods fresh and using top-notch ingredients.
"I'm not a food snob, but I am very particular about the ingredients that I use," Wright said.
She even invented her very own "Vintage Tea Cup Cakes" where she scouts for one-of-a-kind tea cups and saucers and fills them with a mini-tiered cake—not a cupcake.
"I have all of my own recipes," Wright said. "These are not cakes made from a mix."
Wright, of Forest Lake, used to lease speace in Burnsville for the past few years. Wright only did custom cakes and pastries upon request until she received "gentle prodding" from her brides and customers who said it was time for her to open her own shop.
Wright looked at a bakery in Forest Lake, but it wasn't the right fit. It had a large kitchen and a small front area—the opposite of what Wright was searching for. She also looked at several vacant buildings that didn't have the right potential. Finally, she found the space in Oakdale.
"I just saw the potential," Wright said. "I walked in and said to myself that I could do this."
She also liked that Gator's Liquor and Studio 99 hair salon were right next door.
She began leasing the spot in May and spent day and night remodeling the area. Wright fixed up the shop herself—except for the marble counters. But Wright put together all of the furnishings and decor and did the painting.
"I wanted a place that was over the top," Wright said. "It's quaint and it's fancy. I love Starbucks and Caribou, but they are all the same."
Tired of going places where "the customer service is bad," Wright not only wanted to provide good service, but also an experience when people enter her shop.
White Lace Cakes has already received recognition for its "experience" and cakes.
Wright was the 2011 award winner of the Mpls.St. Paul Wedding Magazine Diamond Awards. She received "The best of the best" in Bridal for Outstanding Cake Design as judged by a national panel. White Lace Cakes has also been covered in international magazines and featured in several bridal industry books and articles.

Twenty years ago a Napa Valley vineyard was supposed to look as clean as a pool table: not a blade of grass, not a weed, no sign of bird or insect life, just knobby vines sticking up out of the soil. The only way to achieve that stripped-down look was by tainting the soil with rodent poison to kill moles and gophers, by spraying potent herbicides to kill unwanted foliage, and by applying some powerful insecticides to vanquish the bug world. Not only was it costly, it wasnt a sustainable way to farm. Today, we are partnering with owls, songbirds, hawks, bats and other wildlife to cultivate our vineyards. Thanks to their efforts, along with cover crops, we dont use insecticides, chemical fertilizers or rodent poisons.
A Feathery Trend
Shafer is one of a handful of Napa Valley wineries that are evolving the way we farm (Shafer was named one of the Worlds 25 Great Vineyards in 2002 by Wine & Spirits magazine). Other names are Frog's Leap, Honig Vineyard & Winery, Saintsbury, Harlan Estate, Robert Sinskey Vineyards and more. Ann Smith, a member and past president of the local chapter of the Audubon Society, who has visited numerous Napa Valley wineries, says that the use of songbirds, owls and bats as part of sustainable farming is seriously on the rise. She adds, This was unheard of 15 years ago. Robert Zlomke, District Manager, Napa County Resource Conservation District says he is seeing a marked trend in Napa Valley wineries turning to the wild kingdom for help in growing some of the worlds most celebrated wine grapes.
Owls and Hawks at Work
At Shafer we started our sustainable farming efforts in two ways back in the late 1980s ( see timeline ). First we erected nesting boxes for owls. The owls had to discover the boxes; we didnt capture them and place them inside. But we had no problem attracting them and within a couple of years we saw 100 percent occupancy. Within a year or so of starting the owl program, we erected perch poles, which attract raptors such as Red shouldered Hawks, Red tailed Hawks, and American Kestrels. The reason we want to attract owls and hawks is simple we wanted to stop putting rodent poisons in the soil to halt the spread of gophers and moles. Gophers and moles like to tunnel through the ground and eat young vine roots. Between the hawks and owls, we have day and night rodent patrol (hawks feed during the day, while owls are nocturnal hunters).
Today thanks to the hawks and owls, our rodent population is under control and no more rodent poisons are in our soil. The work of these raptors is so effective we named our Chardonnay vineyard Red Shoulder Ranch to honor them.
Of Bats and Birds
But gophers are only one of a vineyard's many pests. A greater number are insects such as blue-green sharpshooters and leafhoppers. We are working to replicate the night-and-day patrol idea, again using flying hunters. To this end weve erected a 500-lb bat roost, which is currently awaiting its first residents (just as we had to wait for the first owls over a decade ago). The box rests on two 20 ft poles and towers over one end of our hillside vineyards. The box was designed and built by our wildlife consultant, Greg Tartarian of Wildlife Research Associates in Petaluma, California. He also designed and built our first owl boxes. The bat box is designed to hold 400 to 1,000 bats (depending on the mix of species) and it will be a maternity colony, meaning this is a place where the bats will breed and raise their young.
Bats are big eaters consuming anywhere from 15 to 25 percent of their body weight per night as they cruise through the moonlight. Given our location at the base of towering cliffs, called palisades, we already enjoy some insect patrolling by bats. This new roost is designed to attract even more to put a permanent dent in the number of bugs that chomp our vines. For daytime insect feeding, we have erected songbird houses throughout our vineyards. These provide homes for cavity-dwelling species such as swallows and bluebirds, who tend to eat the flying bugs that blight our vines.
Cover crops
Another key part of farming sustainably is the use of cover crops. Remember that pool-table look that our vineyards once had? Today they grow wild and wooly with clover, vetch, oats and other vegetation that creates a lively habitat where good bugs eat bad bugs. More specifically, insects such as spiders and ladybugs naturally prey on vine-blighting insects such as leafhoppers and blue-green sharpshooters. Cover crops do double and triple duty. They control erosion. They choke back weeds we dont want. They control the vigor of the vine. They enrich our soils with nitrogen and other important nutrients at the end of their lifecycle and more.
Shafer Vineyards Harvests the Sun - utilizing solar energy to power production.

By Jason O'Boyd, Staff Writer
Friday, December 28, 2012 —
If you've never heard of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps, chances are you're probably not alone. But David Waln is looking to fix that.
Waln is Commanding Officer of the Gunslinger Squadron that's based in Montgomery and Stanly counties. The program recently completed its first year and is looking to expand its base of participating individuals.
The program is actually broken down into two divisions: Navy League Cadet Corps is the junior cadet program for boys and girls ages 11-14. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps is for boys and girls ages 13-17.
"We have a Greensboro division, we have a Charlotte division, we have a Raleigh division," Waln said. "We've missed a whole area right here for the opportunity to be here.
"Truthfully, the commander of the region didn't believe we had a need for it but he went ahead and endorsed the program to start the Gunslingers squadron in the area."
The Sea Cadets program also has units in Asheville, Camp Lejeune and Wilmington.
Waln has 14 years of active duty in the Navy, "something I wish I never got out of," he said. When he's not working as a corrections officer in Montgomery County, he visits middle schools in Stanly and Montgomery counties to show sixth, seventh and eighth graders the benefits of the program.
The group meets on weekends typically at Albemarle's Waverly Skidmore VFW Post 2908, which is the group's main site. They participate in a wide variety of drills and activities that are meant to teach the students discipline, leadership, courage and self-reliance in a drug, tobacco and gang-free environment.
"To me, it's an all-around great program for the age range they have," said Jason Brown, one of the volunteer instructors in the group. "I wish I had known about it when I was a kid.
"I'm new to the organization and he told me what he (Waln) does. I asked him if I could come out with him one weekend and I saw the kids and what they were doing. I actually enjoyed it. I've got four kids of my own and it was something I wanted to put my kids in."
The Sea Cadets program is sponsored by individual Councils of the Navy League of the United States, a non-profit organization. It was created in 1958 by the Navy League of the United States at the request of the Department of the Navy. The Sea Cadets program earned non-profit organization status in 1962 and was amended in 1974 to allow female participation.
There are basic requirements students must meet in order to join and maintain status such as being drug free, maintaining at least a C grade-point average, having parental consent and being able to pay dues and purchase a uniform.
"My purpose for starting this program is there's a major need for something like this," Waln said. "One of the things that was said to me by one of the training officers in the Greensboro division is we're Boy Scouts with an attitude.
"We don't shoot BB guns. We'll actually train cadets on live fire with real weapons. They learn how to clean the weapons, maintain the weapons and all the safety regulations. You don't get that in ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps).
"There are advantages to ROTC, there are advantages to the Boy Scouts. There's advantages to us."
Waln said that five members of the program went to boot camp in Virginia Beach on June 23-July 7. There they participated in numerous activities and drills and were also paid a visit by members of Seal Team 6, the group that killed Osama Bin Laden.
"Here you've got a group of kids that not only saw them come out of the sky but also got to shake their hands and meet them," Waln said. "It's a classified group and you can't take pictures of them. But they stayed the whole weekend and we ate chow with them."
Waln also spoke of a $180,000 scholarship program that participants can qualify for to go to college. It also has an exchange program to 13 different countries.
And if college isn't an option for a participant, a Sea Cadet can immediately enter the military and have a jump over those who would just be entering.
"If you want to get into college, you're in a great program," Brown said. "They offer a scholarship program, apply for it. It's one of your chances to go to college.
"If you want to go into service, you are doing all the courses so that when you go into the Navy, when you go into the Coast Guard, you don't have to re-take those courses because you've already done them. So you have a little bit of knowledge of what you need to know."
For more information on the organization, you can visit seacadets.org and click on "Find A Local Unit." You can also contact Waln at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Eligible military spouses are now able to receive up to $6,000 of tuition assistance that can help them pursue education, training, licenses, certificates and degrees leading to employment in in what the military calls "portable career fields. Portable careers are those that are likely to provide job opportunities in most locations where military Service members are stationed. These might include but are not limited to: business/management, construction trades, education, financial services, health services, homeland security, hospitality management, human resources, information technology, real estate, etc.
When Congress passed the 2009 Defense Authorization Act, they mandated that the Department of Defense set up such a program. The program has been running under a test-phase, but DOD has now made it a permanent program. The program is called the Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program
Who is Eligible
Spouses of Active Duty members of the Department of Defense and activated members of the National Guard and Reserve Components are eligible. The period of eligibility for spouses of Guard and Reserve members is from the date of the Alert or Warning Order for Military Recall or Mobilization, through activation and deployment until 180 days following De-Mobilization. Spouses of the severely injured, ill, wounded or killed in action are also eligible.
Military spouses who are legally separated by state law or court order are ineligible. Spouses who are active duty members or activated Guard or Reserve members themselves are ineligible. Unfortunately, because the Coast Guard is not part of the Department of Defense, their spouses are not eligible (Congress limited eligibility to DOD active duty spouses when they wrote the law, perhaps they will clear up this oversight in future legislation.
What the Program Pays For
Up to $6,000 (in a lifetime) for expenses such as education and training programs, tuition, licensing and credentialing fees. This includes degree programs (e.g. associates, bachelors, masters, doctoral and post doctoral), continuing education classes (including those offered through professional associations), Bar, CPA and other similar exams, state certifications for teachers, medical professionals and other licensed professionals.
What the Program Will Not Pay For
MyCAA does not pay for computers, school application fees, graduation or membership fees, student activity cards, child care, parking, transportation, or medical services. NOTE: If the cost of a course includes books, supplies or other necessary equipment, MyCAA will cover that cost. Payments are made directly to schools using the MyCAA's electronic payment system. Referrals are made to federally funded English As A Second Language (ESL) Classes and GED Classes and Testing Programs.
Eligible Schools
To use the program, your school must be approved and accepted for the program by DOD. Schools which are currently approved can be viewed online at: https://aiportal.acc.af.mil/mycaa/User/Spouse/FindInstitution.aspx.
How to Sign Up
Open a MyCAA at: https://aiportal.acc.af.mil/mycaa/default.aspx.

Christopher Jacbobson, the man convicted in August of stealing more than $60,000 from the Libertyville Boys Club is headed to jail, the Daily Herald is reporting.
Jacobson was sentenced in the Lake County Courthouse Thursday to 30 days in jail, three years of probation and 200 hours of community service, the Daily Herald reports. He also must pay back $61,845 to the organization.
Libertyville Patch article from April 2011
In March 2010, board members became suspicious when he refused to bring financial records to monthly board meetings. Jacobsen eventually returned the documents to the board in October.
The board then hired an independent accounting firm to audit the document and found accounting irregularities. The board alerted Libertyville police, which resulted in Jacobsen's arrest.

- From the blog of Northville resident Tom Stroup, an in Tampa, FL. Stroup is also the chair of the 11th Congressional District Republican Committee.
I decided to walk over to the convention center (Tampa Bay Times Forum) and see the floor and where the Michigan delegation would be sitting.
They relaxed the rules today since there is essentially no official activity, delegates and alternates could walk down on the floor.
Michigan by the way has the BEST seats in the house. Right in front of the stage. Anyone want to second guess how important we are in this process? :)
The gift shop had a lot of items for sale, but an interesting checkout procedure. If you bought something with the official convention logo, you would use one set of registers. If you bought anything with the Romney Ryan on it....you had to fill out a campaign finance form! (Thank you McCain Feingold!) Not that I was going to buy much...an iPhone case was $40 !!!
You can check out the rest of Stroup's blog from the convention by clicking here.

A very French take on la musique
The shaggy haired, charmingly unshaven Julien Doré was churned out by the French music scene a few years ago with his appearance on the Franco equivalent to The X Factor, Nouvelle Star. He's bizarre and intense and he's just so French. Almost annoyingly French actually. We can imagine having a whirlwind affair with him in an arty arrondisement of Paris, involving lots of cigarettes and espressos and ménage-a-trois and smashing of crockery and tears and an apartment on the left bank with a balcony and muslin curtains and a view of the Eiffel Tower (actually it'd probably be impossible for an apartment on the left bank to have a view of the Eiffel Tower but who cares). Apparently his great-great-great uncle was Gustave Doré, renowned 19th century artist. Oh of course he bloody was *sobs, hurls croissant*
Anyway his new video is très chic and undeniably homosexuelle. There are men in underwear, which is always fun, and for some reason, several bichon frises (you know, those white fluffy yappy rat dogs that women over the age of sixty always seem to have porcelain statuettes of).

Something is amiss.
Something doesn't feel quite right to this blogger.
The Twins had a big victory tonight, 11-7, over the Tigers. Everyone except Erik Komatsu was involved in the hitting, and that's a great sign. It's tough not to be excited about Brian Dozier. True, it's a small sample size, but he has exceeded expectations so far, including a big 3-run home run early in tonight's game. But enough about the current Twins. Tonight's focus is about the Future Twins. All the minor league affiliates were in action tonight, and here's a recap of what transpired.

The Rock Cats lost big last night, 10-3, against the Reading Phillies. You can read a good re-cap of the game by Seth Stohs here at TwinsDaily, and here at the Rock Cats' website, but I thought I'd try to provide you with a few things that won't show up in the box score, which you can check out here.
The Twins lost again, 6-2 tonight. I had hope that they would win this series against the Angels, especially after impressive performances last night by Brian Dozier and Scott Diamond, but it was not to be. Josh Willingham, with a home run and a double, continues to swing the bat well, but with the offense mustering only 6 hits, the chances of victory were slim tonight.
Here's a look at how the Twins' minor league affiliates fared Wednesday night.

[Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]
New Britain had an unscheduled night off Monday, and maybe that was a good thing. At 18-12, the Rock Cats are just 1.5 games out of first place in their division, but are 5-5 over their last 10 games, and had lost 2 of 3 to the Portland Sea Dogs over the weekend before Monday evening's contest against the Binghamton Mets was rained out. So it's a good time to take notice of a few things.

Hopefully Liam Hendriks can right the ship for Minnesota, without Justin Morneau (who hopefully will be back for Friday's game against Seattle) and Danny Valencia (back stiffness). It would be good not to be swept by the Angels. It would also be good to keep Albert Pujols from doing any damage. It's not looking good so far (6-0 Angels in the 4th, and the Twins have no hits), but perhaps

Tank Commanders will eventually move on from the position. If a Tank Commander performs well, they will be promoted, possibly to Platoon Leader, and leave the inside of their tank.
If they don't perform well, they may be discharged. There's also the very real chance that a Tank Commander may suffer some type of injury that requires them to leave the military. Combat soldiers also have to face the possibility of developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which could boot them from active duty as well.
Most tank commanders, even those who see heavy combat, don't have to worry about these issues, however. They will either move on from the position into another military job or they'll leave the military when their tour of duty is up.

degree program is huge
I often have been accused of wearing my heart on my sleeve for the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, but until my recent trip to Hartford I had not yet worn a Phoenix emblem on my face. Thanks to pep band member Jaimie Henschel, I joined the crowd with just the right look for an NCAA tournament game. (Photo by University Communication intern Matthew Becker.)
It's hard to argue with the need for this new program. Our region has more than 150,000 residents with some postsecondary education, and the region's four technical colleges have produced more than 10,000 associate degree graduates in the last five years alone. However, Northeastern Wisconsin lags behind the state and nation in the percentage of four-year college graduates. Many of you are familiar with the alarming fact that if Northeastern Wisconsin were a state, it would rank 49th in the number of citizens with bachelor's degrees.
The greatest demand for the new degree program likely will come from working adults who have been in the workforce for a number of years. Many of these individuals have looked to us in the past hoping to continue their education. Discouraged by our inability to give them credit for previous coursework, many have instead turned to the region's private colleges to complete their degrees.

Diners at Piatto Novo at the Sheraton Suites Akron/Cuyahoga Falls will soon see a new yet familiar name at the restaurant, and a new menu too.
Piatto Novo will become Beau's on the River this spring — Beau's as in Beau's Grille at the Hilton Akron/Fairlawn and as in chef Beau Schmidt.
Schmidt said he's excited about bringing his brand to the hotel. The change comes as the result of Rennick Andreoli, owner of RDA Hotel Management Co., becoming a part owner of the hotel in September. Andreoli owns the Hilton Akron/Fairlawn where Beau's Grill is located.
Schmidt said the restaurant will be renovated, but likely will remain open throughout the changes to the dining room and bar.
Executive Chef Roger Thomas, who founded Piatto in downtown Akron and later moved it to the Sheraton as Piatto Novo, said he is a little sad to see his brand go away, "but I think in the long run, it's good for the hotels."
Thomas will be staying on at the hotel as executive chef in charge of banquets and catering, where he said the hotel has a lot of room to grow.
Coming on board as executive chef at Beau's on the River will be Akron native Billy Thurmon, who has worked with both Schmidt and Thomas before and also has worked at several restaurants in the South. Both chefs praised Thurmon's abilities, and Schmidt said he was excited for the trio to be working together.
Look for a May grand opening for Beau's on the River.

Long time, blog!
Long, long time ago, there used to be a girl who wrote a blog, thought out delicate sentences and framed out words, weaved them with the events in her life, and hit the publish button with a smile on her face.
Now, she finds no excitement to blog, nothing to say to the big world out there. She has heard that sometimes, this phenomenon hits other people too, but she fears this is something that she won't recover from, anytime soon, if she does, that is.
Give her a few good reasons to keep this blog going. She'll be happy, I know.

Thanks to Paula Lambert of the Mozzarella Company for this recipe.
Baked Tomatoes with Parmigiano Crowns
4 large ripe tomatoes, cut in half
2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup white wine
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teraspoon freshly grated black pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 ounce Parmigiano Reggiano, ¼ cup
Cut tomatoes in half.
Heat olive oil in large skillet over high heat. Place tomatoes in skillet with cut side down. Cook over high heat for about 5 minutes, until browned on one side. Do not move or turn the tomatoes to peek, you will know they are browned when the edges are brown. Remove the skillet form the heat. Using a rubber or metal spatula, separate the tomatoes from the skillet, taking care to leave the browned parts intact, and transfer the tomatoes to a baking dish just large enough to hold the tomatoes. Placed the tomatoes, cut side up, one next to the other. Add garlic to the pan, return to the heat, and sauté briefly in the remaining oil. Add the wine and deglaze pan, scraping up browned particles. Simmer the wine to reduce it to about half its volume. Pour the wine over the tomatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix the mayonnaise and Parmigiano together. Place one-eighth of the mixture atop each tomato.
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and cook for 30 minutes, until the mayonnaise topping is puffy and golden brown.
Serves 8.

‹‹ previous 1 2 next ››
After sitting out last year with legal problems, Cox is pushing to make the roster and earn playing time in a competitive secondary after joining the 49ers in March.||||||| Cox continued to make an impression during San Francisco's preseason opener against Minnesota last Friday, putting an exclamation point on the 49ers' 17-6 victory with an interception to end the Vikings' final offensive possession.The second-year cornerback has gained attention throughout training camp with his consistent play and is challenging for a role in coverage packages in a secondary that returns all four starters from last season, including two Pro Bowlers.
Cox is getting a fresh start with the San Francisco 49ers, signing a two-year contract more than a week after being acquitted on sexual assault charges in Colorado.||||||| San Francisco announced the deal on the first day of NFL free agency Tuesday, a day after signing wide receiver Randy Moss to give him a second chance. The 25-year-old Cox didn't play in 2011, spending time with his family in Waco, Texas. He was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his apartment in September 2010 after a night of partying.
Cox says he's able to focus on football even as he faces a sexual assault trial in October. The Denver Broncos' second-year cornerback participated in the team's first practice of training camp Thursday.||||||| Coming off the field afterward, Cox told The Associated Press: "I just want to apologize for everything that's been going on. I'm truly grateful that football has started back up." He acknowledged his legal troubles still weigh heavily on him. If convicted, Cox faces between two years to life in prison. Cox has pleaded not guilty in the case. Broncos President Joe Ellis said this week the team will monitor Cox's legal situation. Cox believes he won't get cut.
Police say Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox was arrested on sexual assault charges after a woman told officers she believed she was raped while she was drugged. An arrest warrant affidavit released Friday says the woman became pregnant and that DNA tests show Cox is the father.||||||| The document says the woman told police that doctors informed her she had become pregnant at about the time she went to Cox's apartment with friends and then passed out. The woman says she has no recollection of most of that night last September and wasn't sure anyone had sex with her until she learned she was pregnant. Cox pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexual assault. He is free on $50,000 bail. His trial is scheduled for October.
An arrest affidavit detailing the sexual assault allegations against Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox will be released July 1 with the name of the accuser, medical information and the name of a friend redacted to protect their privacy.||||||| District Court Judge Paul King on Wednesday sided with The Associated Press and The Denver Post, who argued for the document's unsealing. King ruled that neither prosecutors nor Cox defense attorney Harvey Steinberg presented sufficient evidence that the affidavit's release would jeopardize Cox's right to a fair trial. Cox is charged with two counts of sexual assault. Court documents say the alleged assault happened on Sept. 6.

The title of Saturday's event at Buker Elementary School - Hamilton-Wenham Aging Info Expo - suggests attendees need to be a senior citizen living in Hamilton or Wenham in order to attend or benefit from the event.
That couldn't be farther from the truth.
The event, on Saturday, April 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is as much for those who have hit senior citizen status as those approaching it or are caring for their elderly parents. It is also open to those living outside Hamilton or Wenham.
"Those 60 (years old) and below will benefit as much as 60 and above," said Tom Tanous of the Hamilton-Wenham Rotary Club, one of the sponsors. "They can learn how to care for their parents."
With more than 30 vendors at tables and close to 10 speakers, there will be something for everyone.
"(The event) is designed to bring information at a community-based level for seniors and adult children caring for seniors," said Susan Carp, the shared director for the Councils on Aging in Hamilton and Wenham. "This is an opportunity to enhance aging while staying at home … until all resources are exhausted.
"It is bringing the community together to show what the community has to offer in terms of activities and services."
There will be representatives from various local groups and agencies; the Police Department to talk about exploitation of seniors; from SeniorCare, Inc., to explain how to go from one level of service to another; from the Sheriff's Department to make photo IDs; occupational therapists to educate on what assistance and aids are out there to help around the house; from the Board of Health to alert seniors and their children to what services are available; and more.
The discussions will be on how to prepare power of attorney, health care proxy and living wills; Medicare, Medicaid, Mass. Health, insurance and outliving your nest egg; health and wellness.
Both Tanous and Carp said there are many people who just aren't aware of all that is available to them.
"We have just as many seniors as students in public schools. This is a very popular way - state-wide and nationally - for seniors, or soon-to-be seniors, to be educated on the different resources for them," said Tanous, who is also on the board of SeniorCare.
The Expo was last presented in October 2009 when more than 250 people showed up during a Nor'easter rain storm. Carp expects just as many to show up on Saturday.

TRAVERSE CITY — Counterfeiters beware: Don't pass bogus bucks while a uniformed police officer stands in the checkout line.
Grand Traverse County sheriff's deputies on Monday arrested a 50-year-old Idaho man after a Brown Lumber Company cashier alerted a Traverse City police captain to a suspicious-looking $20 bill the man used in a $1.20 nuts and bolts purchase.
Those nuts and bolts may prompt a prison jolt. The suspect faces felony charges of passing counterfeit currency and possession of methamphetamine.
Brown Lumber Company co-owner Philip Cochran said the suspect was pulling a $20 bill from his wallet but noticed city police Capt. Brian Heffner, in full uniform, approach the register.
"The guy immediately puts the bill back in his wallet," Cochran said.
But the cashier already had change for a $20 bill ready and indirectly forced the suspect to go through with the purchase. Cochran said the cashier realized the bill felt strange and alerted Heffner, who was at the South Airport Road store to buy new shelving brackets for his office.
"The cashier goes white as a ghost and says, 'That man paid me in fake bills,'" Heffner said.
Heffner followed the suspect along South Airport Road. He said the suspect made some maneuvers — like turning around in a gas station parking lot — that indicated he was trying to lose the police tail.
Eventually, the suspect drove into a parking lot with no outlet near South Airport Road and Garfield Avenue. Heffner performed a traffic stop and handed the case over to the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff's Capt. Randy Fewless said the suspect was arrested after deputies determined he was driving without a valid license. A vehicle search turned up methamphetamine, a duffel bag with suspected counterfeit $20, $50 and $100 bills and a "full-size desk printer."

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is barely in the hands of consumers yet, but already the company is considering making some major improvements.
Consumers have complained that the apps Samsung preloads onto the device, which are a major selling point for Samsung, take up too much of the device's internal storage. On the 16GB model, the apps clog up about half of this storage.
The Inquirer reports that Samsung is looking into securing more memory space for users to take advantage of through "further software optimization." As the reason why, the company cites "responding to customer needs and listening to their feedback as part of our innovation process."

How It All Began
The arrest and reported torturing of 15 schoolchildren who had written anti-government graffiti on a wall launched a series of peaceful protests in late February 2011 in the city of Deraa. Protesters called for the release of the children, along with democracy and greater freedoms for citizens.

A police officer stopped a motorist near the intersection of Becks Run and Agnew roads at around 1:12 a.m. on Sunday for speeding and swerving.
The officer reported that, while speaking with the motorist—Catherine Anderson, 23, of Hummingbird Lane in Allegheny Township—he smelled alcohol coming from Anderson's breath.
The officer administered a breath-analyzer test, which Anderson failed, before putting her through field-sobriety tests. She failed those, as well.
The officer arrested Anderson and charged her with suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. She was then taken to the , where she failed another breath-analyzer test.
She was eventually taken to a friend's residence in Brentwood Borough and released.

Dan sez, "Where the Wild Things Are was my favorite book as a child. It was the first book I gave to my five year olf daughter India and my 6 month old son Aldous has a fresh copy waiting for him. So as a moving-in present to ourselves we commissioned our friend Simon Ings my favourite scene in stone. But Max was replaced by Aldous and India was carved in alongside. My wife and I get to be the wild things! As a kid, I dreamt of making mischief and sailing off to be crowned king of the wild forest. Now I get to swing from the trees with the whole family."
Where the Wild Things Are in stone (Thanks, Dan!)

fresco relief"
Kevin Kenny says:
Fresco is the technique of producing murals by painting on wet plaster. What we have here is basso-rilievo.
Sorry, I'm a pedant.
JamesPadraicR says:
I thought it was embossed paper at first. Since it's stone you could probably use it for making embossed paper copies.
It's one of the first books I read on my own, though I seem to remember thinking that Max was a little jerk. Really ought to re-read it sometime.
NickPheas says:
Well you're not the only pedant, I was going to say much the same thing.
It's a rather fine bit of carving mind you.
Brian says:
Color me three on the pedant crowd, as that's the first thing that went through my mind…but it's a lovely piece of work nevertheless.
Tofino says:
what a lovely piece of art!
my absolute favourite kids' book of all times! i named my son max after it.
he just moved out. i like to think that when he comes back, his dinner will be waiting for it. and it will still be hot!
Gloria says:
@1, 2: Ok, count another pedant here (except I was going to settle for "bas relief" or "relief"). But I swear I was going to say it was an awesome piece of work too. Because it is.
Anonymous says:
Yeah, I also have fond memories of the book. But I would say that if you want to keep those fond memories, then don't watch the movie.
According to the movie version of things, all the monsters are actually quite bitter and depressed…
Daemon says:
It's the only picture book I have any recollection of at all from my childhood. And I still remember it fondly enough that I went to see a play version of it a couple years ago with my two best friends and my mother – who just bought me a copy as a very early christmas present.

GREENSBURG — Shelly Walsman has traveled the world as a missionary.
A member of the First Christian Church of Greensburg, she and her husband Tim have ministered to people in Nicaragua, Haiti and Jamaica.
Come January, they'll be in Africa.
Before she visits the world's largest continent though, to feed and minister to the needy half a world away, Walsman has accepted another critical mission right here, on the continent she calls home, to provide badly needed relief to fellow Americans.
On July 7, she and her husband, along with Cindy and Mike Schoettmer, also of First Christian, will set off with a group of 20 or so from the church, headed for Oklahoma City. They'll be taking a semi-truck with them, which they hope to load to capacity with critical goods people in the area need to rebuild following a devastating series of tornados in May.
Walsman visited the Daily News last week to promote the upcoming trip to Oklahoma and talk about what items they're hoping to collect for their semi-truck.
"We're accepting pretty much anything and everything," she said.
The idea got started May 22, on the Walsman's wedding anniversary.
"We had dinner that night with Cindy and Mike," she explained, "and we started talking about the Oklahoma tornados and how we should do something to help."
By May 23, Walsman continued, she'd contacted Cherokee Hills Church of Christ in Oklahoma City, which is working on relief efforts in the area with Antioch Christian Church.
"They welcomed our help," Walsman said.
Walsman anticipates arriving in Oklahoma City sometime on July 8. She and her group will spend their days working in Moore, Okla., one of the hardest-hit areas by the May storms, and will be sleeping at Cherokee Hills. A local Gold's Gym has offered to allow the group to shower at that facility.

Le masque, destiné à dissimuler, représenter ou imiter un visage, assure de nombreuses fonctions, variables selon les lieux et l'époque. Simple objet de divertissement ou associé à un rite, œuvre d'art ou produit normalisé, il se retrouve sur tous les continents. Il est tantôt associé à des festivités (Halloween, Mardi gras), tantôt à une fonction (chamanisme, relique funéraire). Il peut aussi représenter des animaux tel que le chat représentant dans certain pays l'indépendance.
Carnival (see other spellings and names) is a festive season which occurs immediately before Lent; the main events are usually during February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of the norms of daily life. In Germany and the Netherlands, the Carnival season is traditionally opened on 11/11 (often at 11:11 a.m.). This dates back to celebrations before the former longer Advent season (40 days now reduced to about four weeks), or with harvest celebrations of St. Martin's Day.
Carnival is traditionally held in areas with a large Catholic and to a lesser extent, Eastern Orthodox makeup. Protestant areas usually do not have Carnival celebrations or have modified traditions, such as the Danish Carnival or other Shrove Tuesday events. Conversely, the Philippines, though a predominantly Roman Catholic country, does not have Carnival celebrations because it has been culturally influenced by neighboring Asian nations, which do not have Carnival celebrations.

(NECN) - Just weeks after the Sandy Hook tragedy, a gun show being held in Conn. this weekend is causing an uproar.
The East Coast Firearms Show is taking place in Stamford, just 40 miles from Newtown.
The event features 250 tables of antique and historical firearms.
The mayor of Stamford said he thinks the event should have been canceled.
"It seems insensitive to have the event continue," said Mayor Michael Pavia.
While police say this is a show for weapons collectors and is not anything dangerous, they will also maintain a presence at the event.
Similar events in Waterbury, Conn., and Westchester County, N.Y., were canceled.

Big medical company offers me $10
They offered to pay the copay for a doctor's visit I had to schedule due to this. Frankly, I found that insulting. Money had never crossed my mind in dealing with this issue, but I guess sadly that's what it always comes to, isn't it?
They only offered to pay the copay?
Seems like they should pay for the whole visit (why should your insurance company pay for their defective product?), send a cab to take you and bring you back, and buy your lunch after, and hope you don't sue them.
I'm trying to come off the ceiling before making any decisions. The chances of a problem are around two percent. I'll take those odds. Still, the more I thought about it the more it honked me off.
They offered only $10? My guess is they read your blog.
Then we're experiencing inflation.

Busy week ahead at the mall
General Growth has a busy week ahead.
The No. 2 U.S. mall owner is weighing a $5.8 billion takeover bid from its larger rival, Simon Property.
It postponed a hearing in bankruptcy court to Friday to have a 'stalking horse' bid approved, which would set the floor for future offers for the company.
General Growth has so far favored a bid led by Brookfield Asset Management to help it exit bankruptcy, choosing it over another offer by Simon to come in as a passive investor and buy a minority stake in the company.
But it still has to figure out whether Simon's offer to buy all of the company makes sense. The latest postponement of the hearing — the third time it has done so – could be a sign it is doing just that.
When Simon put in a bid, it wanted it to be a slam dunk. It offered $18.25 per share for all of General Growth on Sunday, more than double its initial takeover offer of $9 per share and a 21.7 percent premium to the Brookfield-led bid at $15 per share.
But the answer may not be that easy for General Growth. The company rejected Simon's recap offer due to qualitative issues, such as what it would mean to have a competitor own a large piece of it, even though Brookfield asked for warrants worth hundreds of millions of dollars in return for its investments while Simon did not. In the past, it has raised antitrust concerns around merging the No. 1 and No. 2 U.S. mall operators.
