Located in the woods, Liquid Planet Water Park forms an oasis of thrilling water slides, pools, and watery play zones. Water attractions include high-speed vertical-drop slides, spiraling water runs that stretch upward of 250 feet, and brisk splash pools. Forming a relaxing buffer at the side of the park are 2,000 square feet of sandy beach that, like marshmallow swim trunks, offer cushy respite from the ubiquitous concrete-pool surroundings. The beach also borders spring-fed Crater Lake, which attracts swimmers and cannonballers with traditional watering-hole charms.
Since its inception as a restaurant and mini-golf course in 1960, Funtown Splashtown USA has steadily expanded to include manifold family-friendly theme-park attractions and water-park slides. The park invites thrill-seekers to rush down the slopes of the wooden Excalibur rollercoaster or free-fall 220 feet from the zenith of the Dragon's Descent tower. At the Splashtown waterpark, guests combat the summer sun aboard two-person slide tubes or circular family rafts. And at the Portland Pirates Paradise attraction, visitors fire water cannons and slip through eight water slides. Between slips and slides, families can unwind on the 1,200 lounge chairs or grab a snack at the picnic areas, so long as they make sure to wait at least 30 minutes before swimming or picnicking again.
At Amesbury Sports Park, windswept passengers sail tubes down the snow-less summer lanes or, during winter, the powdery pathways of packed snow that dot hillsides of varying steepness. A conveyor belt swiftly returns them to the top of the hill in, where they can repeat the ride. During the summer, visitors can hop inside of one of Amesbury Sports Park's plastic spheres, to take what they call a zorb ride. Their outdoor event venue can accommodate up to 30,000 people, and has previously hosted events such as the Warrior Dash, the Spartan Race, and their annual Brewfest. An onsite restaurant refuels recreationers with tasty American fare, and also hosts regular wine dinners that often sell out in advance. The park also has a function hall available for private parties, and a full-service catering business with cuisine prepared by executive chef Kevin Jacques.
At Aquaboggan Water Park, anyone can perform spinning tricks on the half-pipe—it's practically unavoidable. Tube-equipped riders launch down the slippery 45-foot-tall parabola, careening up and down its sides before sliding down into the connected pool. Nicknamed Stealth 5, the half-pipe is just one of the park's unconventional attractions, joining the ranks of the Aquasaucer, a soft dome with a fountain at the top and ropes leading from its peak to its base.
Of course, in its 35 years, Aquaboggan hasn't lost respect for the classics, both wet and dry. Its Pipeline entices guests down a twisting trio of slides, readying riders for a high-speed race on the Turbo Drop's side-by-side slides. Wee ones can splash in the wave pool or take part in a consequence-free lesson in aquatic navigation on the bumper boats. Afterward, guests can dry out on an 18-hole mini-golf course and a high-speed go-cart track.
The karts at Maine Indoor Karting definitely aren't of the amateur variety. The center maintains a fleet of European racing karts that balance the power of 200 CC, 6.5-hp Honda engines and wet clutch drive systems with the comfort of adjustable padded seats. Before climbing into these speed machines, adults must first attend safety briefings, suit up in provided uniforms, and strap on helmets. Drivers younger than 15 must complete an intensive safety course on how to steer safely, increase speed, and ramp over oncoming fruit carts. But all that prep proves to be worth it when drivers squeal out onto the newly renovated serpentine track and motion-blur their way through 1,200 feet of narrow stretches and sharp switchbacks.
The family-fun center also houses an indoor 18-hole miniature golf course and an arcade filled with video games. An on-site café serves casual fare such as hot-dogs, hand-made pizza, and root beer floats.
Cavorters of all ages caper about Joker's Family Fun and Games's massive indoor play zone, which is stocked with games and attractions that inspire climbing and sliding. Kids can scramble into the three-tiered A-Maze-Zing playhouse to navigate tubes, web bridges, and conference rooms, and toddlers can maneuver through the mini maze or hop aboard the train ride for a sightseeing jaunt around the tracks. Future adults can challenge one another in sundry classic arcade games such as skee-ball and air hockey, and more than 50 video games await thumbs desperate to win garlands of exchangeable tickets. Whippersnappers achieve liftoff in lieu of jetpack overalls on a Jolly Jump air bounce then safely glide down a 22-foot inflatable super slide. At the 14,000-square-foot Portland location, youngsters can also blast comrades in a space-age laser-tag zone, scale a towering rock-climbing wall, and master putting skills on an 18-hole mini-golf course. After extreme bouts of frolicking, families can quell tummy rumbles with slices of housemade pizza slathered in Joker's signature sauce or peek at the menu to peruse sandwiches, burgers, and chicken tenders.

Va. universities getting humanities grants
Friday - 4/12/2013, 4:10am  ET
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Nine projects at several Virginia universities are receiving a share of $17.4 million in grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The federal agency announced awards and offers for 205 projects in 39 states and the District of Columbia this week. The Virginia projects are set to receive $426,878 total.
Projects receiving funding include an Old Dominion University project to develop an open-source tool to digitally archive web pages and a George Mason University project to create an interactive website on popular romance literature. Another projected from the University of Virginia aims to map and study the imaginary county in William Faulkner's fiction writings.
NEH Chairman Jim Leach says the projects being funded will expand the boundaries of human knowledge and deepen the connection to the past.

In Chicago and Northern Illinois
Chicago, IL – September 6, 2012 – Fear of lost or stolen credit cards ranks as the highest identity theft concern among consumers. However, more serious and costly threats are considered less worrisome, according to a poll by the Better Business Bureau in August 2012.
Thirty percent of the respondents ranked credit card loss or theft as their greatest ID protection concern. Another 23 percent worried hackers would steal credit card and personal data from a business database. Rated least concerning, by 14 percent of those responding, was the disposal of personal papers in the garbage. Also low on the anxiety list was use of credit card information online (18 percent) or on the telephone (15 percent).
"Losing or having a credit card stolen is certainly a worry," said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. "However, credit card companies have elaborate security programs to quickly stop credit access and limit consumer financial exposure to fraudulent use. On a rating scale, credit card loss is towards the less distressful end, though it should always be guarded against."
Bernas explained that consumers should be most worried about the material they have the most control over, their personal papers in the trash. Yet, he said, this was the area where the fewest expressed concern.
"Papers with personal data and credit card numbers on them can be a treasure trove of information for fraudsters, and a serious risk to consumers," said Bernas. "Shredding these types of documents is essential for any type of personal identity protection plan.
"Personal documents that are not shredded can be used without any safeguards or the consumer's knowledge until the person's credit score suffers or a bill appears from use of a credit card that the consumer never applied for."
Hackers getting access to business databases is a growing concerning and one that will likely continue, Bernas noted. However, businesses continue to take action and improve their security.
"Consumers need to take control over what they have their hands on," urged Bernas. "Guard credit cards and shred any documents with personal information. These are two actions every person can take to lessen the risk of their identity being stolen."

The Stuggy's empire continues to grow with the opening of Willow along the same Fells Point block that already houses the hot-dog shop and Rye, a cocktail bar—all owned by Ryan Perlberg, in partnership with his dad, Stuart Perlberg, at Stuggy's and with Richard Rosen at Rye and Willow. The newest location joins the other places in the 800 block of South Broadway in a space once occupied by Sam's Kid. The redo is mellow with earth tones and pale greens dominating the palette. A red-tiled bar is a colorful counterpoint. Willow is more of a lounge than a restaurant with comfy couches and expansive coffee tables on the lower level and upstairs. You'll feel like you're visiting someone's swanky living room. And while there is a focus on specialty drinks and house-infused spirits, the south-of-the-border food is worth exploring, too.
We nabbed two backless stools at the bar for our culinary trip, which began immediately with complimentary house-made chips and chunky salsa.
We also ordered a spicy crab guacamole that was fresh and bright and topped with a generous amount of crab. It came with crunchy chips, too, and is easily shared.
The menu features casual Tex-Mex fare—is there any other kind?—adopting a mix-and-match approach. Start with a basic preparation: quesadilla, nacho, or taco salad. Then, choose your filling, from Korean barbecue to smoked lamb.
We settled on quesadillas (there were two), stuffed with slow-roasted chicken mole and accompanied by house-made guacamole and thick black beans.
Another option is tacos. You can order from one to four. Two suited us fine. This time, we chose the pulled-pork adobo for the filling. We also opted for the piquant, flavorful curtido, a vinegary cabbage slaw, as a side dish.
The chicken mole and pork adobo in both dishes were delicious. But they needed more heat, temperature-wise, not spice-wise. They were as lukewarm as forgotten bath water.
For dessert, we really enjoyed the churros—dense doughnut-like nuggets coated liberally with cinnamon. The silky chocolate-dipping sauce was a bonus. A banana gelato spiked with bourbon sauce and plump blackberries was also a satisfying finish.
We'd definitely go back. We're suspecting the temperature gaffe was an unfortunate oversight. Willow provides a nice respite from the rest of raucous Fells Point.

Why did the Democratic leadership at their convention remove God from their platform? Most of us saw the controversial voice vote to put the word God (used once) back into their platform, but why had it been taken out when in all previous convention platforms the word God appeared several times? This was not an oversight and the Godless platform had been approved by the committee and President Obama prior to the controversy of adding it back caused by public uproar.
It is my belief the majority of Democrats believe in God and the principles this country was founded upon, that is, God gives us our rights not government or man. However, I have no doubt after seeing this president and his administration over the last four years they do not believe this. They believe in big government and government gives you your rights, government will take care of you, government will make the best choices for you (i.e. Obamacare).
For many reasons there has never been such a clear choice in an election for the presidency but the biggest is this. Will this country choose to remain free; will the principles our rights come from God, not man, success comes from hard work and individual responsibility and the free market prevails. That each of us has the right to make our health care choices, and should never be forced by government to violate our religious principles (i.e. forcing the Catholic Church to provide contraceptives and abortion). That we have the right to use our money as we see fit and not have government take from one and give to another.
Our country became the world's most exceptional country because it's the only country founded on the principle that our rights and freedom come from God, and our government (a small one) codified by the Constitution, built on Judea-Christian principles, was written to protect those rights not take them away. It's time "We the People" stop this massive socialistic intrusion on our principles and our government. Four more years of Obama will destroy the fabric of this nation both morally and economically.
Others may try to rebut my perspective with a racist or hateful slant on this argument but ask yourself, "Why would they take God out of their platform?" Think this through for yourself and go vote your God-given conscience.

NEW YORK NURSE: March 2009
"Sometime in November the rumors started; that was the first inkling," said Christine Grieco, a critical care nurse who has worked for 20 years at Mary Immaculate Hospital in Jamaica, Queens.
The 162-bed hospital filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in federal court on Feb. 6, and by Feb. 10 the New York State Department of Health had tentatively approved the hospital's plan to close by Feb. 28. About 260 NYSNA nurses worked at the facility and its affiliated Monsignor H. Fitzpatrick Pavilion, a nursing home with 115 beds.
"They haven't given me my layoff notice yet, but it's there for sure," continued Grieco. "First there were town hall meetings predicting a dire forecast. I went to four or five rallies to keep the hospital open. We lobbied in Albany with other New York City healthcare workers."
NYSNA nurses were among the hundreds to attend a midday rally at the hospital on Jan. 31 hosted by City Councilman James Gennaro. Queens Borough President Helen Marshall spoke about the shortage of hospital beds in Queens, stating that the borough has fewer than 1.4 hospital beds per thousand people, in contrast to Manhattan's 7.1 beds per thousand residents.
The nurses were worried about what would happen to their patients when the hospital closed.
Grieco added, "This was a charity hospital. They never asked about insurance. Many of the patients were here illegally from the Caribbean, Africa, South America, or Europe. They didn't have health insurance through their jobs and they didn't even have Medicaid or Medicare."
In 2008, Mary Immaculate Hospital totaled more than 40,000 emergency room visits and 65,000 outpatient visits, a patient load not easily absorbed by the area's surrounding medical facilities.
Therese Wittner, NYSNA nursing representative, met with a number of lawmakers in an effort to keep the hospital open. "This hospital closure creates a crisis in Queens," she said. "Poor management and Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements below the cost of the services provided added to the hospital's financial distress. The surrounding hospitals cannot adequately handle the overflow of patients."
"I've run the gamut of emotions; denial, anger, and acceptance," Grieco said. "You have to move forward, you have to move on. I can't take a break. My husband is retired and on my health insurance. My family depends on me." She said she is actively looking for work. "I want a job at another NYSNA facility, but a lot of jobs are frozen.
"I can't believe it is happening," said Sharon Whitter-Ajere, an RN in the critical care unit, who has worked for 18 years at Mary Immaculate.
On Feb. 23, NYSNA organized a job fair attended by more than 175 RNs. Beth Abraham Health Services, New York Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn Hospital Center, Staten Island University Hospital, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, and North Shore University Hospital were among the facilities accepting resumes.

While there have been rumors for years about Hollywood rental and camera company Panavision developing a new camera to replace the aging Genesis, that's pretty much all we've gotten: rumors. Back in early December at the Plus Camerimage 2012 festival, Panavision unveiled a prototype for a digital camera that will have a sensor equivalent to 70mm. It's interesting and significant for a number of reasons, mostly because the last time Panavision developed a camera it became the standard that other digital cinema cameras had to live up to, and also because it signals that the company might think that's where the future of movies is headed.
