David Mark Brown, July 2012
If Sergio Leone and Quentin Tarantino had a book baby!
"Forget emergency landing procedures. When reading Twitch and Die! all one can do is hold on for dear life."
"If there was a top to be over, Twitch and Die! removed it completely with both terrible and electrifying results. I couldn't turn away."
Reading entire novel in one sitting can result in fever, irrational bladder syndrome, and an insatiable urge to "Mess with Texas."
Product Description:
Two populist Texan folk-heros, Chancho Villarreal and James Starr, embark on a mission of political endorsement, but what they find is a hill country rife with fear and rumor. A so-called Angel of Death is executing individuals infected by a terrible plague, and the company mining town at the epicenter has gone dark.
It's up to Chancho and his worst enemy to navigate a world of shifting allegiances while uncovering the truth about a plague and its infected who refuse to die quietly.
"Disguised as double-fisted pulp fiction, the Lost DMB Files resurrect a forgotten history. The life's work of author David Mark Brown, mysteriously disappeared in the 1930's, has only recently taken on new life surrounding the controversy that these "lost files" are more than mere fiction. Let the reader decide for her or himself." ~ Professor Jim Buckner
Note From the Editor:
The Truth in History Society (THS), commonly known as lost file conspiracists, have beat their drum for nearly a dozen years. I, like most, ignored them. Unlike most, I was kidnapped. While initially ticked off by this, not getting exploded (another story altogether) ultimately balanced the scales.
Since then I have rigorously set about curating and editing all known Lost DMB Files while maintaining as scientific of an approach to these pulpy stories as possible. Now I count myself among the zealous believers in their authenticity, not simply as pulp fiction, but as journalistic tales preserving historic fact.
My promise to the reader is to seek out these Lost DMB files and present them to you unabridged and unaltered from their original intent for as long as I am able. I also vow to do my best to allow you to draw your own conclusions as to their historical value and contemporary commentary. (I'll refrain from my preachy tendencies as best I can!)
Finally, be forewarned. Becoming lost in these "lost files" and the world they reconstruct is difficult to resist. May what once was lost be found.

Install the meego-sdk-chroot script

The MeeGo SDK with Xephyr provides a development environment on Linux workstations for Netbook and Handheld applications.
To identify your graphics chipsetrun the following:
$ lspci | grep VGA
Example output: | |
Intel mobile: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) |
nVidia: | 08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2) |
ATI: | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300] |
If your system does not have Intel graphics, see the other SDK options.
The meego-sdk-chroot script sets up mountpoints for the chroot environment, then starts the chroot proper; it also attempts to unmount everything when it exits and clear up any processes started in the chroot. Get it with:
wget http://download3.meego.com/meego-sdk-chroot
Make the chroot script executable:
chmod +x meego-sdk-chroot
Move it to /usr/bin:
sudo mv meego-sdk-chroot /usr/bin
Contents |
Next, configure X on the host machine to enable the Simulator (running from the chroot) to access the display of the normal user:
xhost +SI:localuser:usernametogiveaccesstogoeshere
(You need to do this once before running the Simulator or Qt Creator after each reboot. Please replace "usernametogiveaccesstogoeshere" with the name of the user who you're going to run Xephyr as here.)
The meego-sdk-chroot script sets up a MeeGo chroot environment and drops you into a shell inside it:
sudo meego-sdk-chroot ~/meego-sdk-0524
(replace ~/meego-sdk-0524 with the path to the chroot directory)
Note that this uses the chroot command, which may not be on root's PATH (on Fedora the chroot command is in /usr/sbin). You can fix this by adding an alias to the top of the meego-sdk-chroot script:
alias chroot='/usr/sbin/chroot'
The output from running the script should look like this:
mount --bind /proc /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/proc mount --bind /sys /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/sys mount --bind /dev /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/dev mount --bind /dev/pts /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/dev/pts mount --bind /tmp /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/tmp mount --bind /var/lib/dbus /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/var/lib/dbus mount --bind /var/run/dbus /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/var/run/dbus cp /etc/resolv.conf /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/etc/resolv.conf root@meego-netbook-sdk:/#
It's possible to install software from the standard locations (at least it is in netbook images) into the chroot.
Enter the chroot, then run:
zypper install <package>
It should also be possible to upgrade the whole MeeGo image using:
zypper dist-upgrade
Xephyr does not see DISPLAY env variable from host system since it is running as chroot. As chroot, set DISPLAY variable before running "startmeego" that calls Xephyr.
export DISPLAY=:0
From inside the chroot, as root do:
startmeego &
This starts the Xephyr server then runs a script to boot the MeeGo desktop into it.
Note: Currently, the simulator runs only on host systems with an Intel integrated graphics controller. It does not run with ATI or NVIDIA graphics controllers.
If you want to run applications from the chroot and have them display in the Simulator window, you can do:
DISPLAY=:2 glxgears
(replacing glxgears with the command you want to run).
If you are having issues with the Simulator, use the debug script to see what's happening:
This shows the console output from the script, which may give you some clues if it's not working correctly.
Here's what it looks like:
Known issues:
To stop the Simulator, just exit the chroot shell with:
This closes down any processes started inside the Simulator and unmounts directories used by the chroot environment. The output should look something like this:
exit umount /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/proc umount /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/sys umount /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/dev/pts umount /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/dev umount /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/tmp umount /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/var/lib/dbus umount /home/ell/meego-sdk-0524/var/run/dbus

Promise Harvest Hair: Day of service offers little things that make a big difference
SUN Spotlight On: Salon Cheveux Amor
Owner: Kee-Kee Ross
834 South Street
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19147
Appts: Sunday, By Appointment Only; Monday, Closed; Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM; Saturday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Specialties: The salon combines beauty and technology to create a premier full-service salon that offers high end services that include hairstyling, haircuts, hair coloring, weaves, and make-up services
Facebook: Salon Cheveux Amor
By Leah Fletcher
Sometimes it is the little things that make a big difference in the way we feel. For those who feel challenged by life financially, emotionally or physically, the little things may be monumentally huge.
For emotionally abused and battered women or homeless men or developmentally disabled adults or cancer survivors, the gifts of caring and giving are powerful. And, they are gifts Kee-Kee Ross, a South Philadelphia beauty salon owner, gives year after year at her Promise Harvest Hair event.
The Promise Harvest Hair event, Ross' brainchild, has a twofold purpose. "It gives me an opportunity to thank the community for its support and to provide services to a segment of the community that stands to benefit in so many ways from the services offered," explained Ross, a 15-year veteran of the beauty industry.
On a day (Monday) when beauty salons are normally closed, more than 300 men, women and children, invited from an array of social service agencies, filled the gymnasium at the PAL Ford Community Center in South Philadelphia. They were there, if but for a moment, as an army of 70 volunteers—barbers, hair stylist, braiders, make-up artists and manicurist —offered their time to pamper and treat each to a special moment.
Ross along with her staff and her crew of volunteers, clad in festive-colored pumpkin and spice T-shirts, displaying the names of participants, manned a series of stations that treated guests to everything from fade haircuts to trendy hairstyles. The services, which were free, generally cost between $20 and $300.
"Many have lived in the shadows most of their lives and visiting the Promise Hair Harvest event is the first time some have received professional salon or barbering services," said Darrel Gaston, a counselor with Horizon House. Gaston spoke with great emotion as he watched his 10 male and female charges respond with glee while receiving new hairstyles and haircuts.
Sandra Schofield, a two-time cancer survivor, was referred to the event by the nursing staff of her local hospital. After undergoing chemotherapy treatments and experiencing the temporary loss of her hair, Schofield was elated with the specialty wig cap designed by Sheri McKenzie and the make-up update completed by Renee McLin, both staffers of Salon Cheveux Amor. "It's great to know that people care," said Schofield as she gazed into a hand-held mirror admiring her new look.
'What makes this event unique is the array of services offered and the variety of participants, who are a reflection of the city's varied neighborhoods, " said Ross.
Guests also enjoyed a scrumptious Thanksgiving Dinner as the music of old school artists, like Frankie Beverly and Maze, played in the background, inviting attendees to participate in a free-style Soul Train line dance.

Montgomery Man Not Guilty of Battery in Oswego Walmart Altercation
Two-day trial of Jason Thurmond concludes this week.
The criminal trial of a Montgomery man who shoved an off-duty Kendall County Sheriff's deputy on Super Bowl Sunday in February ended this week with a not guilty verdict. Jason Thurmond was found not guilty of battery Tuesday for shoving the officer at the Oswego Walmart on Feb. 5, 2012, according to Kendall County court documents. The trial began on Monday this week when defense attorney Richard Irvin questioned French's actions, according to the Beacon News. In assessing French's behavior that day, Irvin pointed out French didn't identify himself as a police officer until after his gun was drawn. He also never attempted to quiet down other customers, nor did he offer to help Nicole Thurmond, wife of Jason Thurmond, the paper reported. …

North Dakota County Breaks Ground for New Airport
November 7, 2012
North Dakota's Bowman County is building a new, larger airport to support the state's economic boom. Located in the state's southwestern corner, Bowman County plans to close the current airport, which has a 4,800-foot runway, and replace it several miles away with a new facility that will have a 5,700-foot runway. The extra runway length will enable a wider variety of aircraft to utilize the facility. Kyle Wanner, airport planner for the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission, said: "This updated Bowman Airport will provide a breath of fresh air to the infrastructure needs of airports in western North Dakota and will aid as an economic engine for the entire region." It is expected to open in 2015. Read more about the new North Dakota airport.

Sketch show taps three Second City alumni to replace lost stars
Executive producer Shonda Rhimes initially thought actress couldn't be pretty and smart
Kerry Washington is undeniably beautiful. But it's her beauty that almost cost her the starring and career-making role on ABC's hit political drama "Scandal."
Shonda Rhimes, the executive producer and brains behind the series, shamefully admits in the June issue of Elle that she nearly passed on casting Washington, 36, because she didn't expect the actress to be as smart as she is pretty.
Bing: More on 'Scandal' | Shonda Rhimes | Kerry Washington
"When we started talking, it took all of three seconds for me to realize that she's both incredibly beautiful and incredibly intelligent," Rhimes says. The Season 2 finale of "Scandal" drew an impressive 9.1. million viewers. "Kerry has toiled. That she's being noticed at this time -- that's exactly what she deserves. Sometimes good things happen to good people."

But Washington bears no grudges against Rhimes or anyone who thinks she's just a pretty face. The George Washington University graduate says she never thought she'd be an actress gliding down red carpets or gracing the cover of magazines. "I was not that girl. I was a kooky theater kid, silly and goofy and academic," she says. "I imagined I'd be a clinical psychologist with a focus on how performance shapes identity."
Now Washington is garnering praise and attention not just for her portrayal as fixer Olivia Pope on "Scandal," but as a co-star in Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning flick, "Django Unchained." And she says she couldn't be happier. "I'm the luckiest broad in Hollywood now," Washington says. "To be the lead actor on 'Scandal' and to be in the highest-earning Tarantino movie -- I don't get to ask for more."
"Scandal" Season 3 kicks off this fall on ABC.
Report says co-host will announce her exit from daytime talk show in June
If you thought Barbara Walters' recent retirement announcement would put an end to rumors that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is also leaving "The View," think again.
Hasselbeck, 35, will announce her departure in June, reports Showbiz411.com. The story goes on to say a new season of "The View" will kick off after Labor Day with two new co-hosts. Back in March, Joy Behar announced her exit after co-hosting for 16 seasons. Behar, 70, will bow out when the current season ends in August.
Bing: More on 'The View' | Barbara Walters | Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Shortly after Behar said she was leaving "The View," rumors that producers were pushing Hasselbeck out the door grabbed headlines. According to Us Weekly, a viewers' poll deemed Hasselbeck "too extreme and right wing." Hasselbeck, a former "Survivor" contestant, joined "The View" in November 2003. Scuttlebutt that CNN's president, Jeff Zucker, was reportedly interested in Hasselbeck and her conservative views also surfaced around the same time. Although Walters has denied Hasselbeck's departure from "The View," Hasselbeck has been uncharacteristically mum on the subject.

Cast member Jay Pharoah's tweet suggests the veteran is leaving
Is Jason Sudeikis leaving "Saturday Night Live"?
That's what a tweet from his co-star, Jay Pharoah, suggests. Over the weekend, he took to Twitter and said, "Hader, Armisen & Sudekis the talent of those three and just them as people in general will be missed but we will be strong and carry on." Pharoah quickly removed the tweet, but it was archived on Favstar.
Bing: More on 'Saturday Night Live' | Jason Sudeikis | Jay Pharoah
Of the three names Pharoah mentioned, Sudeikis is the only unannounced departure. Last week, Bill Hader confirmed he was bowing out after eight seasons saying, "It was a hard decision, but it has to happen at some point. It got to a point where I said, 'Maybe it's just time to go.'"

Saturday was Hader's last day. Cast member Fred Armisen also used the Season 38 finale to say an emotional goodbye after 11 years on the show. But Sudeikis, who started on "SNL" as a sketch writer a decade ago, hasn't said whether he's leaving.
When asked by E!Online if this would be his last season, Sudeikis coyly said, "I'm not thinking about it yet." Meanwhile, Lorne Michaels recently talked to the New York Times about Sudeikis' potential exit. "You never keep anybody there who doesn't want to be there," Michaels said. "SNL" will bid farewell to Seth Meyers next season, when he succeeds Jimmy Fallon as the host of "Late Night" in February 2014.
"Saturday Night Live" returns for its 39th season this fall on NBC.
Get the latest on Michelle Stafford, Hunter Tylo, Rena Sofer and more familiar names
A flood of casting updates for "The Young and the Restless," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "Days of Our Lives" and "General Hospital" have soap opera fans buzzing about Michelle Stafford, Hunter Tylo, Chrishell Stause, Darin Brooks, Rena Sofer and other familiar daytimers. Here's a roundup on who's coming and going on each of the big four soap operas during the end of May and into summer.
Bing: More about "Young and the Restless" | 'Bold and the Beautiful' | "General Hospital" | "Days of Our Lives"
MSN TV has confirmation on Michelle Stafford's status with "The Young and the Restless," as well as news on which shows nabbed "General Hospital" alums Rena Sofer (ex-Lois), Jen Lilley (ex-Maxie) and Erin Chambers (ex-Siobhan); "Days of Our Lives" Emmy winner Darin Brooks (ex-Max); and "All My Children" ex-pat Chrishell Stause (ex-Amanda). Plus, what's going on with "Bold and the Beautiful" locals Hunter Tylo (Taylor), Zak Conroy (Oliver) and Ashley Jones (Bridget)?
NOTE: Airdates may be affected by preemptions caused by special news reports on events like the Oklahoma City tornado.
"The Young and the Restless"
The big news coming out of Genoa City is that fan favorite and Daytime Emmy nominee Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) is exiting.
"I would like to personally confirm to the fans that yes, I have decided to leave 'The Young and the Restless,'" Stafford said. "It has been a glorious 16 years and one of the greatest rides of my life. The constant support and love from the fans is not lost on me. I think I'll miss you the most."
With Phyllis expected to exit the canvas mid-June, there are clearly no hard feeling between Stafford and her bosses, as she was out partying with Sony and CBS after the story broke.
This isn't Stafford's first exit from the show. She first signed on as Phyllis in 1994, exiting three years later. Sandra Nelson stepped in as a recast until 1998 and then Stafford returned to cause more trouble in 2000. She also spent a few months doing double duty when villainous Sheila returned looking like Phyllis. During Stafford's 16 years with the show, she's nabbed 10 Emmy Leading Actress nominations, taking home the win in 2004. She also won Outstanding Supporting Actress in 1997.
In other CBS news, "The Bold and the Beautiful" hunk Zack Conroy is taking his character Oliver to "The Young and the Restless" on business. The hot photographer will work with Jabot in crossover episodes airing Tuesday, May 21, and Friday, May 31.
"General Hospital" alum Erin Chambers (ex-Siobhan) is getting into the Genoa City legal scene. She's landed a recurring gig as paralegal Melanie, premiering Thursday, June 6.
A new woman may shake up the Cane/Lily/Tyler drama. Mishael Morgan ("Supernatural," "Total Recall") has joined the show as Hilary Curtis and will first air Friday, June 14, in scenes with Daniel Goddard (Cane) and Christel Khalil (Lily).

"The Bold and the Beautiful"
Lots of big moves are happening on "The Bold and the Beautiful." With two divas out, a brand new pair is joining the show and a fave returns for some drama.
On the heels of news that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) is taking a break from "The Bold and the Beautiful" comes word that her onscreen mom Hunter Tylo (Taylor) is exiting the show.
"Contract talks ended 4 weeks ago," Tylo posted on her message board, though a show rep says they are still in negotiations. "I am moving forward and opening back up to the thousands of acting roles available, writing, and pursuing my skin care line. My friends and 'B&B' fans will be sorely missed. But don't worry! I'll keep you posted of my every new adventure!"
With the mother/daughter team on its way out, there's a new mother/son duo coming to town, and they're packing Daytime Emmys. "Days of Our Lives" alum Darin Brooks arrives on the scene June 21 as newcomer Wyatt and soap veteran Rena Stofer has been tapped to play his mother, Quinn Fuller, first airing Friday, July 12.
"I am so excited to be joining Bold and the Beautiful!! I have always loved daytime and I am so excited to be back!!!" tweeted Sofer, who also boasts a healthy list of primetime credits and was last seen on "Once Upon a Time."
There's not much dish on Sofer's character, yet, but word is this pair has some bombshell secrets. Wyatt, for his part, is set shake up the Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle and promises to be a "badass."
"My character, Wyatt, is first seen in the nude taking a solar shower out in the woods," Brooks teased. "Hope stumbles across him and takes his picture on her smartphone and Wyatt catches her… As the story unfolds, he moves into that whole fashion-industry world and you'll find out his connection to everything. It's all very mysterious for now."
Former cast regular Ashley Jones will bring her character Bridget back for a short visit, starting Wednesday, May 22.
"I'm only going in for three or four episodes, as of right now," Jones said. "But there's some fun stuff with Bridget's mom."
The timing makes sense: Brooke is once again pregnant with an in-law's child and trying to get another man to take credit for knocking her up - As fans recall, the last time this happened, it was Bridget's then-hubby Deacon who knocked Brooke up and Whip who took credit. It sounds like Jones (who has been dating former onscreen hubby Jack Wagner!) would be open to the idea of sticking around town, as long as there was a juicy story lined up for her.
"I feel like this is too cool a character to come back and just sit in the background," she explained.

"Days of Our Lives"
Salem has quite a few soap hoppers coming to town.
"All My Children" alum Chrishell Stause has signed on for a mysterious new role and will show up in Salem mid-summer.
"I couldn't be happier!" Stause tweeted. "My bags are packed-moving to Salem!"
"General Hospital" alum Jen Lilley (ex-Maxie) will heat up "Days of Our Lives," starting in July. Lilley earned props from Port Charles fans during her stint covering for Kirsten Storms last year, but don't get ahead of yourselves "Days of Our Lives" fans. She is not a recast for Belle, the role that helped launch Storm's career years ago.
Nadia Bjorlin's Chloe will be back for a few episodes toward the ends of summer.
Meanwhile, with Casey Deidrick's (Chad) contract up in June, buzz suggests he could be on his way out. The show may even be recasting the role, but neither he nor the show have confirmed this rumor.
"General Hospital"
With summer approaching, Samantha Logan ("666 Park Avenue") has joined the "General Hospital" teen scene as Felix's younger sister, Taylor DuBois. The newcomer will shake up the Rafe, Molly and T.J. triangle.
"Not everything can be a triangle, so there will be another girl thrown into the mix," teased headwriter Ron Carlivati.
'Ugly Betty' star being considered for 'Romeo and Juliet'-like series
America Ferrera and ABC could reunite.
The actress, who rose to fame on the network's telenovela-style drama "Ugly Betty," is eyeing a new ABC project called "Pedro & Maria," EW.com reports. Inspired by "Romeo and Juliet," the modernized tale is in development and comes from executive producer Ben Silverman ("The Office" and "The Biggest Loser").
Bing: More on 'Pedro & Maria' | America Ferrera
According to the report, instead of the Capulets vs. the Montagues, "Pedro & Maria" will focus on "two opposites cut from the same cloth caught in the trap of forbidden love. He is a second generation Dominican from the mean streets of Washington Heights. She is a Puerto Rican whose parents made millions as real estate developers. It's a clash of the haves and the have-nots, of Main St vs. Wall St, set against a volatile cultural backdrop that fiercely believes neither side should mix with the other."
Plus: 'Dancing With the Stars' finale preview | 'Felicity': Where are they now? | 'The Bachelorette' Season 9
Silverman also produced "Ugly Betty," which aired from 2006-2010, and like the series, "Pedro & Maria" will have a telenovela format. The drama was initially pitched as an interactive series that would allow viewers to vote and choose the direction of the characters and story lines, but it's unknown if that is still a variable.
Paul Lee, ABC's entertainment president, said the network will explore limited-series projects to fill the gap created by hiatuses for hits such as "Scandal" and "Once Upon a Time." Lee made the announcement at last week's upfronts presentation and added that ABC's top-rated series will be clustered into tight runs with all-original episodes for up to 12 weeks at a time. He didn't say "Pedro & Maria" has received the green light yet, but the show and its proposed short-run make it a strong candidate within ABC's new landscape of fewer reruns.
Greg, Peter and Cindy celebrate 40th anniversary of theme park adventure episode
Susan Olsen (Cindy), Christopher Knight (Peter) and Barry Williams (Greg) returned to Kings Island in Ohio for a mini-reunion Sunday, May 19. The "Brady Bunch" alumni celebrated the 40th anniversary of the 1973 episode that saw one of TV's most celebrated blended families go on summer vacation at the amusement park.
Bing: More about "The Brady Bunch" | Watch clips and episodes of "The Brady Bunch"
Fans packed the 844-seat venue for four mini-reunions that featured Williams, Christopher and Olsen sharing behind-the-scenes stories, memories and classic clips. Retro TV fans also got to shake hands, get autographs and strike a pose with the stars for $20.
Plus: 'Dancing With the Stars' finale preview | 'Felicity': Where are they now? | 'The Bachelorette' Season 9
During the reunion, former wild child Knight, now 55, quipped that he didn't remember much from that time, but enjoyed hearing about the good old days from fans. Olsen, 51, gave fans a time check when she talked about her 16-year-old son with a Mohawk.
Williams, 58, was reportedly the star of the reunion. In addition to emceeing the event, he gave fans a bit of his classic Johnny Bravo and then shared his re-written version of "The Real Slim Shady," "The Real Greg Brady." He rewrote the Eminem song in order to explain his popularity with strangers to his son. The idea sounds a bit ridiculous and the track did not impress his son, but the video is not all that bad.

The Māori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Act 2004 (Settlement Act) provides for the full and final settlement of contemporary Māori claims to commercial aquaculture. Under the Act, the Crown is responsible for delivering the settlement. The Māori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Amendment Act 2011 (the Amendment Act) amended the Settlement Act to enable the settlement to be delivered on a regional basis. These regional agreements will be negotiated between the Crown and iwi organisations (iwi) listed in schedule 4 of the Māori Fisheries Act 2004. Iwi listed in schedule 4 are the only entities that can receive settlement assets from the Crown. Under the Māori Fisheries Act 2004, the Crown will transfer settlement assets to Te Ohu Kaimoana (the trustee) who then allocates it to the appropriate iwi. Learn more about the settlement.
The Crown is responsible for delivering the settlement. The 20% obligation established in the Settlement Act remains unchanged. The settlement will be delivered on a regional basis, through agreements between the Crown and iwi. The Crown must ensure that the trustee, who is acting on behalf of iwi, is provided with settlement assets that are representative of 20% of the new space in one of the following ways:
The Minister responsible for Aquaculture is required to prepare a plan by December 2012 for the ongoing delivery of settlement obligations. This plan, developed in consultation with the trustee and iwi, will detail the Crown's progress in terms of meeting the settlement obligation and the processes and methods for maintaining the settlement into the future. Once the plan is completed, the Minister must provide copies of the plan to the relevant regional council, the trustee, and the relevant iwi. The plan is to be reviewed every five years, supporting a staged approach to the settlement in the default situation.
As part of the Amendment Act, powers have been given to the Minister responsible for Aquaculture to gazette space in the coastal marine area to create future settlement options. This power is initially being used to notify space for settlement purposes, mitigating the risk that private interests have first access to better aquaculture space while regional agreements are being negotiated. An initial gazette notice was publicly announced on 29 September 2011 and includes 12 sites that are located in Northland, Waikato (east), and Marlborough where immediate aquaculture development is expected. Learn more about the gazetted sites. Notifying space under Gazette notices does not change current uses or rules, but it does stop private interests from applying for resource consents to carry out aquaculture activities. It also prevents regional authorities from consenting other activities that might impact on future aquaculture activities. All gazetted space is still subject to the resource consents process and any other regulatory requirements (e.g. the UAE test) before it can be approved for aquaculture. Community participation is a core component of RMA processes. Gazette notices are not a replacement for negotiated regional settlements. Gazette notices are initially a way of ensuring that some appropriate space has been notified so that negotiations can be meaningful or as a default option if a regional agreement cannot be reached. In future settlement processes iwi may be provided with the exclusive rights to apply for aquaculture activities in such space.
The Settlement Act was developed in parallel with the 2004 aquaculture law and provided for claims to be settled by allocating authorisations for 20% of aquaculture management areas (AMAs) to iwi. The Amendment Act removed the requirement for AMAs to be established before new space could be applied for which meant a new delivery mechanism for the settlement was needed.

There are now 147 new Celina High School graduates looking for summer jobs or spending their summer getting ready for college.
They received their diplomas at graduation held May 31 at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco. Superintendent Donny O'Dell and Director of Secondary Education Lizzy Kloiber presented the diplomas.
Celina High School Principal Rick DeMasters presented honor awards. Light-hearted moments came when he also was presented with something from each student as he shook their hand. Each graduate placed a brightly-colored Hawaiian lei around his neck. Now and again he had to take them off when the number of leis around his neck prevented him from seeing what he was doing.
A traditional part of Celina commencement exercises is the songs the seniors sing. CHS math teacher and senior sponsor Valerie Carey managed to turn seniors into a choral group for graduation. This year she directed them as they sang "Unwritten," "I Hope You Dance," and "Good Riddance, Time of your Life." The senior choir ensemble distinguished themselves when they sang the "National Anthem."
The 2012 class motto is "Together we experienced life, separately we will pursue our dreams, and forever our memories will remain."

Barbara McMahon - Fine Artist
Member Since: 07/05/2012
Barbara McMahon is a self-taught artist in the mediums of watercolour, acrylic, oil and photography. Born in England of Polish parents, her family emigrated to Southern Ontario where Barbara continues to reside. Her natural creativity came from a sense of wonderment of her rural surroundings and closeness to nature. By osmosis from the beauty of the farmland, forests, streams, animals and wildlife, and her parent's love of nature, music, art and culture, her senses were happily assaulted by the natural beauty in which she was surrounded. There was plenty of quiet time while grazing cattle with a sketch book in hand to observe, wonder and create. She became acutely aware of seeing and listening.
Barbara has found that there is not enough time to capture on canvas all that inspires her. She is emboldened by vivid colours, by simplicity, by complexity and by the sheer luminosity of life, humanity and the cosmos.
As her experience has grown in the art world, she has developed a deeper understanding of this vast universe and her own flickering place within it.
Barbara sincerely hopes that you enjoy viewing her works of art. Thank you and enjoy your visit!

Out of the blue, a Frank Ocean song titled "Eyes Like Sky" appeared on the Web over the weekend. The guitar-heavy track was reportedly recorded while Frank was putting together his channel ORANGE album, but didn't make the final cut.
The song's lyrics tell the story of a blind boy, who can see the world in a special way. "I said, 'I wish you could see the ocean'/ He said, 'I wish you could see hope'/ I said, 'Have you ever seen the mountain?'/ He said, 'No, but my faith could move those,'" Frank sings on the track.
The Grammy Award-winner revealed earlier this month that he's been working on the follow-up to last year's channel ORANGE. Frank told BBC Radio 1 that he's "10,11 songs" into his next project.

When deciding whether to enrol in a degree course at a university, potential living costs and fees are important to consider. You can estimate potential living costs by checking out the information provided on the website of the Deutsches Studentenwerk.
All students are required to pay semester fees for the self-governing student body, theGeneral Student Committee (AStA), and the Studentenwerk.
Currently these fees amount to 70 euros for students of all study locations. In addition, students at all study locations must remit 110 euros for their RMV (Rhein-Main public transport services) semester ticket and 21.34 euros for the RNN (Rhein-Nahe Regional Public Transport) semester ticket. Students are also required to pay an administrative fee of 50 euros and a contribution for liability insurance (as of January 2012, information in German only) of 0.5 euros.
All in all, the semester fee for sommer semester 2013 adds up to 251.84 euros.
The semester fee needs to be transferred to the following account:
Hochschule RheinMain
Account number: 114 043 001
Routing number: 510 500 15
Nassauische Sparkasse Wiesbaden
SWIFT-Code NASS DE 55, IBAN DE74510500150114043001
Make sure to enter your student identification number (Matrikelnummer) as designated use ("Verwendungszweck") so that the semester fee can be attributed to you.
The Act to Insure Equal Opportunity Access to Higher Education of June 18, 2008 abolished tuition at Hesse's universities. In accordance with the law, first-time bachelor and master students are thus not charged tuition.

BERKLEY- Senior Claire Barna half of the No. 1 doubles team at Berkley along with senior Caroline Baron knows why the Bears girls tennis team is again successful this season.
Ive been in the Berkley tennis program for four years and this year, I think, is my favorite, said Barna, who is one of seven seniors on the Bears roster this season. The team is real close.
Barna, who attends the International Academy, said she and Baron have good chemistry.
Were both tall; were both seniors, Barna said Thursday. We have strategies for each team we play. We talk about what were going to do.
Berkley (5-4-1 overall, 3-3-1 OAA White) lost 6-2 to North Farmington (5-1-2 overall, 5-1-1 OAA White) in a division dual match on Thursday establishing the Bears in the middle of the White Division.
Things are going well, said Berkley coach Lenny Waldman, now in his eighth year. Weve been playing strong competitive tennis. I was proud of their effort today: North Farmington is in the top three in the division.
Still, Waldman said consistency is what drives the Berkley girls tennis team. He said many of his players have been with him or in the competitive Berkley tennis program for four years.
Weve been consistent in our court performance; keeping the ball in play, Waldman said. Weve played a lot of three-set matches.
Waldman noted the calm the team has shown from No. 1 singles to No. 4 doubles.
Were balanced from No. 1 singles to No. 4 doubles, he reiterated. Im really impressed that were working on what we need to do to improve.
Sophomore Lexi Northcross is the Bears No. 1 singles player and faces the top competition. Her record is around .500, Waldman said.
Senior Erica Fox is the No. 2 singles. And with Barna and Baron handling No. 1 doubles, Ellie Krasnick and Rachel Bornstein are right behind at No. 2 doubles.
Also, the No. 4 doubles team of sophomore Marlee Rothman and junior Daniella Silver has only lost once together, while No. 3 singles senior Jessica Gross, senior Jess Leshman and sophomore Marla Krasnick provide depth for Berkley.
The girls are also successful in other sports and in the classroom, Waldman noted. We have a grade point average in the range of 3.8. Academics and other sports this is a nice bunch.
Waldman, who also coaches the boys tennis team at Berkley, called this years cast of seniors and underclassman on the girls tennis team a wonderful crew.
They make a coach happy, he said. We are drama-free. That alone being free of drama enhances their ability to work toward success.
Waldman pointed to Berkleys middle school tennis program and a youth program is not far behind.
The next phase is a feeder program, he said. Berkley tennis remains consistent. We are one of the few programs that have a junior varsity girls and boys program; we just want to keep building on that.

Ikea tents in Haiti
She writes, "Basically, as you know several orphanages found themselves in the streets after the earthquake and for 5 or 6 days, 40 kids at La Maison des Anges in Tabarre, Port au Prince, slept in Ikea play tents in a courtyard, before they got proper Red Cross tents."
The rains are about to pour but the debate is still going on ...
whether tarps or tents will provide the protection from the elements.
Carmen adds, "Frankly, I'm at a lost on this subject, for I think neither tarps nor tents will provide the protection Haitians need against heavy rain and tornadoes and cyclones during the rain season.
From what I've read, they won't be able to distribute enough of both on time. Their beef with tents is that it takes more space to set them up and they already have a problem with that. I still think tents are a tad better than tarps! All of it is heartbreaking. If you want to take the time, relief web situation reports are telling.
Just so you know, all but 3 or 4 of the kids at La Maison des Anges have foreign parents and should be home before the rain starts. They are working hard on making the main house habitable, they should be ok. Unfortunately, it's not the case for most people. I also like Habitat for Humanity which has done long term housing work in Haïti."
If you wish to donate a tent, you can do so here.

Et oui, Ikéa était présent en Haïti avant le séisme, nous le voyons ici au lendemain du séisme où tentes et chaises hautes Ikéa sont encore là. Les adoptants apportaient souvent du matériel aux orphelinats, Ikéa aidera t-il Haïti a se relever ? Haïti qui verra peut-être, à son grand malheur, le nombre de ses orphelins augmenter; comme ça serait bien que Ikéa sponsorise la maison des anges à terre ! Il y a tant à faire !

Thanks for the info. Just ordered a tent via amazon.com.
It's now only 9 days before rain season starts!!!

Bought this for large driveway in Chicago suburbs. Works great and is easy to use. I am 5'5 140 lbs and I can manuever it like a champ! Quickly moved snow both this year and last, and have had zero problems. Easy to start by just plugging it in, and good on gas. Very happy I purchased it :)

We got pounded with snow this winter in Minnesota and thankfully I had this snowblower! It started easily, and preformed as described every use. Saved my back and let me sleep in longer. If you pay for a service to plow this pays for itself very quickly. The only negative is the mechanism to turn the blower nozzle; it sucks!

Design is perfect. This machine has power and can cut through some deep snow. It is fast if you want it to be, but I'd never run it on max speed as it moves. Awesome one push electric start comes in handy. Easy to pull start as well. This baby will last a long time.
Salem, MA
This machine merits no stars. I bought this a little over one year ago. The one time I needed it the engine would not start with either the electric starter of the pull cord. It is a very expensive unused piece of junk in my garage. Don't watse your money on this machine.
Berlin, CT
I have been using this machine for a full season, and have no complaints. It starts up everytime and does what it advertises. the hand crank for the discharge is a bit of a hassle but it's not a fault of the design or manufacture, it's just a lower cost option. It's handled Connecticut snow without difficulty. It only bogs down when I'm in slush at the end of the driveway (which is what your should expect from this size engine)

What a relief to have this snow thrower! We live on a mountaintop farm in Virginia, elevation above 3300 feet, where the weather is rough. This is our third winter using it, and it even handles snow with layers of sleet and freezing rain in it. This machine cleans the 100 yards to our barn with ease. Even though I also use it on a gravel driveway (with the front elevated about 2 inches) and the occasional stone will get pulled through, the blades still look like new. Just remember to drain your gas at the end of winter or run it until you run out of gas. Don't buy gas with ethanol in it--it gums up the carburetor. And change your spark plug every year--or get someone to do it. As a woman with two partial rotator cuff tears in my right shoulder, I find it relatively easy to use and maneuver. The self-propulsion feature takes it right up even 35 degree slopes. I've recommended this model to several friends!

Bryan County residents are pulling together to help tornado victims in Moore today. Yesterday a tornado that began to form in Newcastle Oklahoma caused massive damage in Moore.
The tornado wiped out schools, hospitals and homes in the city of Moore just following Oklahoma City tornadoes that hit Sunday.
In the wake of the tornado yesterday afternoon Bryan County residents were on their Facebook accounts looking for ways to help the residents in the Moore area.
Several members of the Facebook page "Bryan County Sound Off" were uploading news feeds and weather updates throughout the night as well as organizing donations.
Some members announced that they will be taking supplies to the OKC area today while others have said they are collecting items.
CrossFit Durant also announced that the business is collecting supplies to take to the victims. CrossFit Durant is located at 2912 Enterprise Blvd Durant, OK 74701 near the Choctaw Casino.
CrossFit's owner operator Colby Oller said that he has a trailer full of supplies would be taking at approximately 11 a.m. today.
Oller said he stopped by local churches before heading to the Moore area to collect more supplies. He said this was a last minute operation but has already had people donate to the cause.
"My whole deal was taking supplies but I decided I would stay and help out if I could," said Oller. He will be taking his supplies to a bank in Sulfur that he had heard was a drop off point.
Oller said if all else fails he will take his supplies to a local Moore Church. The Southeastern Oklahoma Chapter of the American Red Cross said Churches are the place to take supplies such as clothing.
Another Facebook group has offered assistance to the cause as well. The "Bryan County Garage Sale and Bulletin Board" page had several people offer to donate supplies that they had planned to sell on the page.
To make monetary donations people can go to www.redcross.org or send a text message to 9099. Sending a text message will add a $10 charge to the person's phone bill. This is a $10 donation to the American Red Cross.
Lynn Edwards, Chapter Director of the Southeastern Oklahoma Chapter American Red Cross, said that check donations can be earmarked "disaster relief services" so that the funds can be specifically used for those affected by the tornado.
Edwards said that the Southeastern Oklahoma Chapter has deployed workers to the Moore area to aid in relief efforts.
The Durant area was hit by extreme weather last night as well, with storm sirens activated around 7:30 p.m. after a possible rotating storm was observed south and west of Durant. Storm spotters with the Durant/ Bryan County Emergency Management reported high winds and quarter sized hail, and tornado warnings were issued Monday for areas north of the city including Milburn, Coleman, Caney and Tushka.
Emergency Management said that the damage in the area was minimal with downed limbs and 67 OG&E customers out of service.
Area winds did get high enough to blow over the sign at Brown's Funeral Services located at 4900 U.S. 70. A tree was blown down in the 4000 block of Wilson Road, according to one observer.
Emergency Management reported that there is one city run storm shelter in Durant which is located behind the swimming pool at Carl Albert Park.
They did say that there are others not run by the city but Emergency Management is not allowed to divulge that information because these shelters are not under their control.
