AWS continued their expansion the other day by announcing a new Japan region, hosted in Tokyo.
What I don't quite understand is some of the pricing differences. I can understand that bandwidth might be different in different territories, and maybe the price of hardware (local taxes maybe? different shipping and local labour costs etc?), but if you compare the EC2 EU region with the new APAC-Tokyo region, you can see that whilst the Windows costs are the same, the Linux costs are higher in Tokyo.
As there should be no software license cost for the Linux instances, this seems a bit weird. All I can think of is that the Microsoft SPLA (Services Provider Licenses Agreement) that AWS have managed to negotiate with Microsoft happens to be cheaper than the EU region and exactly offsets the other higher costs.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
I have some news regarding Scarefest I want to share with you. I mentioned recently that I would be a vendor at Scarefest, a backyard BBQ Haunter Tradition for many years in Ontario. This year the organizer arranged a park space so even more haunters and vendors could attend. It was the next step in evolution for the beloved event which continues to grow.
The City of Vaughn (where the park is) contacted the organizer after they received an anonymous complaint regarding Scarefest:
"This individual who called in took the time to educate the Municipal Officials on our Scarefest web site, pointed out how many vendors we had attending and what they were being charged for a booth, inquired if we had all the proper permits for the park, and asked how all the residents in the neighborhood would feel about all the additional cars on the street." (You can read the full story on Facebook).
Was playing with some smaller figures.
Something tinier than usual.
No back stories but pocket-sized monsters.
At about 4 inches in height (not including the party hat) it's like evil concentrated.
There's a few of them on the table waiting to be finished.
We'll see if people like them at this year's shows.
Speaking of which, I'll be at Scarefest on July 7th. It's an outdoor Haunter Convention in Thornhill ON. BBQ, over 30 vendors/exhibitors, and all for free (though they ask for a donation for Sick Kids Hospital).
Bring your family. Bring your dog. Monkey Boo will be there too for at least part of the day!
You don't have to worry about running into Beezle in a dark alley or old forest.
He rarely resides in our realms.
He is more likely to influence our choices with a whisper, inflame frustration or cloud our rational thoughts, all from behind an invisible curtain.
A splash of selfishness.
A dash of doubt.
An inflated sense of entitlement.
A pinch of paranoia surrounding loved ones or friends.
A batch of bad judgment.
These are the contributions he adds to the ingredients of our everyday lives.
It's easy work. Mankind only needs a nudge. And sometimes, not even that.
More images below.
This figure is just shy of 6 inches tall.
A life half lived is a sad affair, especially when it comes to an end.
No talents, no money,
not gorgeous nor funny,
and no one to call a friend.
Too worried about what the neighbours would say, they didn't pursue their dreams.
No pumpkins, no ghosts,
no party to host
on their favourite night: Halloween.
This is the tale of a boring old couple named Mr. and Mrs. Gaunt.
Don't mourn that they're dead
Rejoice it instead,
For now they are free to haunt.
One of the first sites I ever listed on my links page way back when was HauntProject.com. I have always thought it was one of the best, straight-forward resources online for home haunters of all skill levels. It's also the only site I ever made a point to contribute links to as often as I could despite busy schedules and absences from online forums. And each time, the Perfessor and I would exchange a couple of emails back and forth, often wishing each other happy haunting.
This morning on Dave Lowe's website I was striken...literally stopped in my tracks...to learn that PerfessorEvil (Rik Cary) had passed away this weekend. My mind couldn't absorb the information. It's unthinkable. HauntProject has been such a constant in my life, and in the lives of countless other haunters.
He leaves behind a legacy of links and resources that have reached thousands upon thousands of people. He was a champion of Halloween. He will be greatly missed.
I hope there are plans to keep the site running. It would be a shame to see all of his work and generously donated time be lost.
Check out the 2010 video of his haunt (above) and then see the magnificent additions he had last year in 2011 (below).
Introducing Mortigan the Dead Catcher. And now, for his story...
Emily Carroll is a Canadian artist.
I've spent the last few days trying to catch up on posting images to the site. Who knew I was so far behind on this task? I finished last year's minions and created a new photo album for minions made this year.
I also included an album for some of the Christmas & Halloween figures I've brought to shows over the years.
All of these, of course, can be found in the Art Ghoullery, including the newly invented collection of Dark Dwellers.
Speaking of which...
The ghoulish Nevi lives on flesh from beetles to rats to humans.
It prefers the meat moldy and rotten, often killing its prey, hiding the carcass, and allowing it to age.
It's not opposed to consuming roadkill but derives more pleasure and satisfaction from capturing its own prey.
Take a closer look at his gruesomeness in the images below.
This figure is just over 9.5" tall.
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

Preparations underway for new department codes
ITServices is supporting the transition to a new structure for department codes that is part of HR PeopleSoft, the new human resources administrative system that's set to launch next month.
Department codes can be used to give groups of individuals access to ITServices applications such as QShare or the Queen's Wiki. Department codes can also be used to manage access permissions to other applications not administered by ITServices. ITServices also uses department codes to generate data feeds for campus units.
"Most of the impacted applications are owned by ITServices, and modifications are well underway to make them compatible with the new department codes," says Gail Ferland, Acting Manager, Infrastructure Services, ITServices. "In addition, ITServices is working closely with the owners of other affected applications on campus to support them during this change."
The new department codes have been published, and application owners can modify their applications to use the new codes. However, the changes will not come into effect until after HR PeopleSoft is implemented February 17-19.
To ease the transition, the old department codes will remain available and will continue to work through to March 20. During this time, application owners can test the new codes without disrupting users' access to applications. Staffing changes during the interim period will not be reflected in the old department codes because these codes will be frozen once the new HR administrative system is launched.
Detailed information can be found in the Queen's Wiki. If you have any questions about the changes or how to modify your applications, contact the IT Support Centre at (613) 533-6666 or fill out an online help form.

So seriously, how much is too much when it comes to maternity modesty? Kim Kardashian has been very busy testing the boundaries of letting the puppies breathe as of late.
Thanks to Kanye West impregnating her with what most "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" fans hope will be the world's most spoiled rotten and adorable mixed race baby she's been the talk of all the supermarket tabloids lately. But not all is wonderful in the land of maternity fashion for the mom to be.

The PlayStation 4 sold one million units in 24 hours, a number that is even crazier in context
Sony has announced that over one million PlayStation 4 consoles were sold to consumers in the first 24 hours of availability. It's important to put some context around that number in order to drive home the power of that number.
The system has only launched in the United States and Canada, so the million was sold just in North America. That's the first thing to remember.
The second thing to keep in mind is that, despite the belief that console sales may constrict during this generation, this was the largest console launch in history. The Wii was one of the most wildly popular systems in the current generation, it launched over Black Friday, and demand for the console was immense. It sold 600,000 units in its first eight days of availability.
The Wii U sold 400,000 units in its first week of sales. If you combine the overall sales of the Wii and Wii U across their first week, you match the first day of the PlayStation 4. Let that sink in a bit.
Still not impressed? The Xbox 360 sold 326,000 units in its first eight days of availability. The PlayStation 2? 500,000 units on the first day. The PlayStation 4 isn't beating these records as much as it's crushing them like a ripe grape.
This isn't just a triumph of consumer support, but of logistics. Many of the console listed above would have sold more if more units had been sent to retail; simply having one million pieces of hardware available for launch to capitalize on the strong demand is in itself a feat. You can't sell 'em if you don't have 'em, and they won't buy 'em if they don't want 'em. Sony nailed almost every aspect of this launch.
This is great news for the PlayStation 4, but it puts some serious pressure on Microsoft to launch at similar numbers or risk conceding an early win in the holiday sales race to the PlayStation 4. Selling one million pieces of hardware on the first day isn't a good number, it's above and beyond what anyone has been able to do historically on the first day of a system launch.
Your move, Microsoft.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
In the past, I have written of the many reasons I love living in Salem, "Gateway to the North Shore," as its known: its history, harbor, university, hospital, world-class Peabody Essex Museum.
However, I neglected our proximity to two wonderful entertainment venues: the Gloucester Stage Company, theater at its best, in my humble view, and the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, and another first-class gem for live theater, as good as any to be found whether Boston or New York for great acting.
Boston may be bigger, but it sure isn't better than what we have here on the North Shore!

Harry Diamond, the photographer's Photographer. I met Harry through Lucian Freud. They were good & loyal friends to me as a country blow-in from Devon.Harry was funny & irrascible,'cos he had had a terrible childhood; leaving home at 13 to find his way in the world.He was encouraged in his work by the photographer, Bruce Bernard, who kept a keen eye out for him.He photographed many famous contemporaries,like his friends Francis Bacon & Lucian Freud,but also had an archive collection of marvellous East End faces too.Nearing the end of Harry's life, I helped ensure that his work went to the National Portrait Gallery.I took this photo in the 1980's at the Serpentine Gallery, at a show of Frank Bowling, another friend & the first black Royal Academician. The portrait of Harry below my photo is by Lucian Freud

Montessori School of Maui believes that parent involvement is fundamental to a thriving learning community and essential to your child's developing a positive attitude towards learning. Every family is required to contribute fifteen (15) hours of their time each school year to the Montessori School of Maui for Parent Participation, as stated in your enrollment agreement.
Students whose families do not complete their fifteen (15) hours of Parent Participation Service per school year will be placed back on the Prospective Student List for the next school year and may not be considered for re-enrollment until the service hours have been fulfilled.
- Montessori School of Maui families are provided a "Parent Participation Form" each year on which to indicate their preference as to how the wish to contribute their hours.
- Parents are responsible for scheduling and completing their fifteen (15) hours of participation.
- Parent choices may need to be changed to ensure the success of the events/activities that have been scheduled throughout the school year.
- Parents are responsible to report their parent participation hours through MOMI's website: www.momi.org or by calling the Main Office directly at (808)573-0374.
- You may be contacted to help by the Development Office, chairs of specific committees, a room parent, a teacher, or office staff.
- You needn't wait to be contacted; information regarding upcoming events can be found in The Montessori Weekly which is emailed to families on a weekly basis and archived on our website www.momi.org.
- Parents may also contact their child's teacher to receive individual classroom event information or check the bulletin board located outside each classroom.
Participation in fundraising efforts and sharing of your time, materials and/or skill help defray our expenses and enrich our resources.
An important additional benefit to parent participation is that it validates that caring and contribution are the building blocks of citizenship. Children who see their parents participating at their school begin to understand the subtleties of human interactions and to find the joy that comes from working with others to accomplish a task. In this way parents transmit ideas and values that words themselves cannot convey. This validates the child's natural generosity and conveys that education is important to the parent.

New course commenced 2013.
The Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) combines research-based and professional studies in psychology with broad studies in the liberal and creative arts, and provides you with opportunities to develop skills of critical and systematic thinking; an imaginative understanding and appreciation of the theory and practice of the social sciences, the humanities or the arts; and enhanced cultural sensitivity and understanding through genuine reciprocity of values.
The course develops capabilities inherent in interpreting sources of knowledge, and develops the capacity for quantitative and qualitative analysis, and the capacity for critique and creative thinking in various arts disciplines. At the same time, you will develop an understanding of psychology as a scientific discipline and appreciate the role it plays within society as a whole.
In the Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) you will:
The psychology and arts sequences seek to develop in students the skills required to integrate, evaluate, and communicate knowledge; produce new knowledge through research and analysis; apply knowledge of theory and methodology into professional situations; and work successfully both independently and in teams. Moreover, it strives to engage and enthuse students, instilling a lifelong passion for learning, coupled with the desire and confidence to become agents of positive change.
Deakin offers many courses which can be studied by distance education overseas.
However, international students living in Australia must, in each compulsory trimester (that is, Trimesters 1 and 2), enrol in at least one unit that is offered as a Campus located unit and can, in addition enrol in units offered via Cloud (online). International students are not permitted to do more than 25% of their total course via Cloud (online) learning. Best practice is to enrol in mostly Campus located units in each compulsory trimester.
In a non-compulsory trimester (Trimester 3), international students may study Cloud (online) units only.
Deakin's Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and enables you to undertake additional study in pursuit of professional registration.
As a Deakin Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) graduate you will develop some of the most important skills a student can gain at university. You will become expert at managing knowledge and communicating information, and develop skills of critical analysis and systematic thinking.
Graduates of this course will be well placed to enter a variety of employment fields after a combination of a broad range of specialised and general skills, often demanded by today's employers. Some of these fields include psychology, media and communication, photography, politics and policy studies, history, languages and visual arts. The broad range of major sequence options ensures that graduates have the opportunity to gain qualifications in a number of areas.
On completion of this degree, you may choose to undertake an honours degree or postgraduate study. These studies normally provide professional qualifications directed to a particular career.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), a student must successfully complete 24 credit points of study including:
Refer to the details of each major sequence for availability.
Refer to A300 Bachelor of Arts handbook course entry for list of Arts majors on offer.
Level 1
|Psychology A: Fundamentals of Human Behaviour
|Psychology B: Individual and Social Development
Level 2
|Research Methods in Psychology A
|Child and Adolescent Development
|Behavioural Neuroscience
|Understanding the Mind
|Introduction to Social Psychology
Level 3
|Research Methods in Psychology B
Transition to University study
The faculty offers two units AIX160 Introduction to University Study and ALW117 Professional Writing for Work, that are specifically designed to ease the transition into university study. New students are encouraged to enrol in one or both of these units in their first year.
Since several disciplinary studies are cumulative, in that knowledge, technical competencies, and, study and research skills develop across units, there are prerequisites that direct students to take some units before others. Students must seek advice from a course adviser before enrolling in units for which they do not have prerequisite or recommended units.
Assessment within the award of Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) varies from written assignments and examination to practical and technical exercises and performance. In some units assessment may also include class participation, online exercises, seminar exercises, and tests.
Cross-institutional arrangements
Continuing Deakin students may apply to study units offered by another Australian tertiary institution and have them credited to their Deakin University degree. Further information is available from Arts and Education Student Services and Enrolment Enquiries.
IELTS / English language requirements
Please note that English language requirements exist for entry to this course and you will be required to meet the English language level requirement that is applicable in the year of your commencement of studies.
It is the students' responsibility to ensure that she/he has the required IELTS score to register with any external accredited courses. (more details)

Matt Doyle and Allison Scagliotti, fresh off their March 26 opening night of Prospect Theater Company's Jasper in Deadland, sat down at a midtown-area Starbucks the next day and recounted their post-show karaoke excursions.
"Last night, she just left!" Doyle explained. "She does this thing that my friend said, 'That might be the greatest party trick I've ever seen in my life.' She knows every single word and performs the hell out of [Digital Underground's] 'The Humpty Dance.'"
Doyle and Scagliotti, who have become fast friends in Jasper in Deadland — bonding over karaoke, dance moves and originating a role in a New York City musical — co-star as the teenage Jasper and his newfound (otherworldly) friend Gretchen, respectively, in the new Off-Broadway musical. When Jasper's best friend Agnes falls to her death, he journeys into the underworld to save her life. Stroke by stroke, they aim to make it out alive.
"Walking into rehearsal the first day, [I] was more nervous than I have ever been in my entire career," admitted Scagliotti, "because it was a challenge that I never faced before." Deadland is Scagliotti's first musical endeavor, having performed in film and TV (Disney's "Drake & Josh," SyFy's "Warehouse 13") since age 11.
"It is my first musical, but my relationship with musicals began when I was a small child in Louisiana, completely on the outskirts of my social group and not feeling fulfilled by anything else. My parents took me to see the touring company of Phantom of the Opera in 1997 at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans, and I'll never forget it. I remember so vividly being brought home with a giant Phantom mask on my tiny seven-year-old face and running around trying to belt all the songs from the show," she said. "Just a few years ago, I was living here [and] going to NYU, and I went to see American Idiot, which was the first musical I'd seen in years, and it bit me again… I was overwhelmed by how natural and familiar it felt, and I immediately just thought, 'Oh, God. I have to go home. I have to do this again.'"Continued...

At this moment, when the machine-assisted biometric reading of faces has never been more prevalent and more standardized, the fifteen artists participating in Facial Expressionism at the Art Gallery produce innovative aesthetic deterritorializations of faces that purposefully over-spill the limits of any singular signifying system, thereby resisting a simple complicity between a face and the evolving metrics for 'knowing' it. Their works explore the ontogenesis of a particular face with its various expressive manifestations, the gestalt of figuration with ground, the immanence of representation and materiality, and the entanglement of gesture and affect.
ARTISTS: Michael Alvarez, Jeremy Bailey, Maya Bloch, Justin Bower, Guy Denning, Kim Dorland, Paul Gillis, Annie Lapin, Gerardo Monterubbio, Buddy Nestor, Rachel Niffenegger, Kambui Olujimi, Dominic Quagliozzi, Phoebe Unwin, and Eric Yahnker
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Galileo Gonzalez

Chris Nixon has been labeled a creative offensive guru by his coaching peers for years.
He gleefully called plays for Elk Grove High School as the offensive coordinator for the storied Thundering Herd championship teams of the late 1990s and early 2000s, stretching defenses and then buckling them with myriad skill players, trap plays and downfield passing routes.
These days, as Elk Grove's head coach, Nixon has simplified things a bit. He goes primarily with two backs, unleashing them on all comers in proving that simplicity works just fine, too.
Robert Frazier and Wadus Parker were sensational again on Friday night, combining for five highlight touchdowns against a formidable defense in a 35-14 win over Del Campo in a Sac-Joaquin Section Division II quarterfinal.
The weather was relatively dry at Elk Grove/Laguna Creek Stadium, but the Herd backs poured it on in every facet.
Frazier, a diminutive 5-foot-7 senior, rushed for 224 yards and scored on runs of 15 and 57 yards, crashing inside, bouncing off tackle or outracing everyone to the corner and down the sideline. Parker, a 5-9 power back with speed, caught a short pass from Tommy Arnold and broke free for an 82-yard score late in the half to give his team the lead for good at 14-7. He capped Elk Grove's first drive of the third quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run, and for good measure, he broke Del Campo's spirit with a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown to make it 28-7. Parker rushed for 90 yards and teamed with Frazier for some big moments on defense with defensive end Bwon Canada.
The Herd (11-1) held the Cougars (9-3) to one offensive touchdown.
Isaac Cisneros scored on a 15-yard interception return for a 7-0 Del Campo lead in the first. Josh Blumgold rushed for 123 yards for Del Campo, and Austin Brown powered in for a two-yard score for the Cougars.
"I put Wadus and Robert out there for everything runs, punt returns, defense," Nixon said. "I've got to give them a break because I don't know what I would do if I ran 40 yards. I'd need a breather. They take turns wearing down a defense. (They're) nice to have. Great players."
And a great line that faced its biggest and most physical front. The Herd line as a group goes by "Hammerheads," and it is coached by Moe Loller, a former Sacramento State lineman whose unit went by the same nickname. The line consists of Jaime Cruz, Matt Loller, Noah McMahon, Christian Vargas and Dior Vela.
Everyone in Herd colors gets into the blocking theme, too. Running back Elijah Jones sprung Parker on his 82-yard scoring reception down the Herd sideline.
"We all got involved," Parker said with a shy grin. "It's all of us. Teams have to stop our running game."
The Thundering Herd will host Del Oro next week in a semifinal match of traditional powers that have combined to win 13 section titles since 1984.
Speaking of super backs, Del Oro has one in Brandon Monroe, who showcased his ability in a scrimmage on the eve of the season, an outing in which Frazier sat out.
"They're really good, and they're enormous up front, and Monroe runs behind them," Nixon said of Del Oro. "Should be fun."

Although there are no prerequisites, a background in development studies or a related field is strongly recommended.
This program is designed to expose students to as many aspects of development in Uganda as possible. The program is deliberately structured to move from the general to the specific and from the theoretical to the practical. Thus, students first spend time as part of a group focusing on more general historical and contemporary development issues before going out into the field to investigate those theories and principles.
Studying in Uganda would be incomplete without looking at political and security issues, as well as related environmental issues, in the Great Lakes region. Students visit national parks in Uganda to focus on issues of conflict, eco-tourism, and conservation. In addition, the program takes students to neighboring Rwanda, the location of unprecedented genocide in 1994 and now a vibrant locus of economic development.
The following syllabi are from a recent semester of this program. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
Development Studies Seminar - syllabus (PDF)
(AFRS 3000 / 4 credits / 60 class hours)
This integrative, interdisciplinary course engages students in concepts and current debates in development studies, with emphasis on their relevance to development approaches in Uganda and, more broadly, East Africa. With development in Uganda as its focus, the course articulates local history and geography, contemporary political developments, and development priorities and approaches.
Lectures are held at Makerere University, the SIT Resource Centre, and related sites within and outside Kampala. They are conducted by professors from Makerere University and experts from private nongovernmental organizations and cultural institutions. Assignments integrate readings, lectures, processing sessions, field trips, and/or in-class discussions.
Educational excursions form a significant part of learning in the course. Sites visited may include Millennium villages, the Inter-African Committee on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children (an organization working to stop female genital mutilation), and Uganda's parliament — a site of animated debates at the intersection of politics and development.
Recent oil discoveries have come with their own challenges and add new dimensions to development discussions in Uganda. The uses and abuses of oil as a development strategy will be an additional focus of the program.
Intensive Language Study: Luganda - syllabus (PDF)
(LUGA 1000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
The primary role of Luganda language training is to provide students with the principal tools needed to gain insight into Uganda's many cultures and Luganda-speaking communities. Given its location in Kampala, where Luganda dominates, the program focuses on Luganda as the primary local lingua franca to best facilitate interactions and cross-cultural communication. The course is organized by a language coordinator and taught by a staff of native speakers experienced in teaching Luganda as a foreign language, with an emphasis on cross-cultural communication.
Language learning consists of 45 hours of formal instruction. Luganda study is reinforced through the homestay experience and various participatory and interactive assignments. Language instruction may also include simulations and field trips to supplement classroom learning.
Research Methods and Ethics - syllabus (PDF)
(ANTH 3500 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
The Research Methods and Ethics course is designed to prepare students to undertake independent field-based research or a practicum experience within a development organization setting in Uganda. The course provides the theoretical and practical frameworks to facilitate successful adjustment to life in Uganda and to enhance student capacity to accomplish challenging tasks in new and unfamiliar settings, while conducting field research or engaging in a practicum that is ethically, methodologically, and analytically sound.
The course prepares students for either a research- or practicum-based ISP experience using readings and activities designed to build skills in qualitative research methods, including rapid rural appraisal and participatory methods, as well as project selection and refinement. Finally, students consider the norms and expectations of ethical field engagement and reciprocity, while reflecting critically on their role as "outsiders" in the development process.
Independent Study Project - syllabus (PDF)
(ISPR 3000 / 6 credits / 180 class hours)
Conducted in Uganda in an approved location appropriate to the project, students may pursue a research- or practicum-based ISP. For the latter, students select a development organization or social entrepreneurship venture, identified through the program's academic directors, with which to complete a six-week practicum. In consultation with the academic directors, the practicum can be completed in Kampala or other areas of Uganda with organizations engaged in a broad spectrum of development projects. The practicum helps to integrate the information gained through the Development Studies and the Research Methods and Ethics courses and, as appropriate, Luganda language studies. Both research- and practicum-based ISPs provide the opportunity to analyze development theories using data and reflections from field-based experience. In both forms of the ISP, a final paper and oral presentation are submitted for evaluation. Regular sessions are coordinated for students to share their progress, challenges, and experiences with each other and with faculty mentors in order to become more effective researchers and consultants.

El Salvador's president says he asked his attorney general to investigate a $10 million donation that Taiwan made 10 years ago to the Salvadoran government during the administration of then President Francisco Flores.
President Mauricio Funes says the complaint is based on U.S. Treasury Department information received by prosecutors in September. He doesn't say how he got the information.
The attorney general's office confirmed the investigation Tuesday but said it could not provide details.
Funes says the report indicates Flores endorsed checks totaling $10 million from a Taiwanese government account between 2003 and 2004 that were intended for a Salvadoran government agency registering land for poor farmers. He says the money never reached the agency.
Flores could not be reached for comment but denied any wrongdoing to a local newspaper.
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.

Lapper's Delight 24 Running Race by Stacey Combs - over 1 year ago
"My teammates and I had been running in a 24 hour relay race when this picture was taken. We won 2nd place with a total of 108 miles completed. This is one of our greatest accomplishment yet!! We also won most spirited team, but with a name like SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP...what would you expect! You all were so friendly and helpful. Thank you for such great shirts. "


text: I am in the process of buying a 2 bottom mounted plow for my Super C. It seems there were (at least) 3 models - C-294, C-295 and C-295-A. Does anyone know how to tell them apart? I want to get a manual, and want to make sure I get the right one (Don't want to get 3 manuals!)

The Rays lost a key part of their starting rotation when Jeff Niemann went down with a fractured fibula, hit with a comebacker on Monday.
Fortunately for the Rays, they have quite a bit of pitching depth in their system. They've made their choice for Niemann's replacement. Marc Topkin:
Look for RHP Alex Cobb on the mound for the Rays Saturday against the Braves.
Cobb is expected to be named today as the team's choice to take injured RHP Jeff Niemann's place in the rotation. RHP Chris Archer was also being considered. The team is planning to make an announcement today.
Cobb, 24, is the more logical choice. He has the experience of having gone 3-2, 3.42 in nine starts for the Rays last year before August season-ending surgery to remove a blood clot and part of a rib.
The team had also considered Chris Archer, who according to manager Joe Maddon has "a little bit more dynamic arm", but they apparently opted for Cobb because he has some MLB experience and Archer doesn't. Nice to have those sorts of options as a major league manager.
For more on the Rays, please visit DRays Bay and SB Nation Tampa Bay.

So, after watching the Bombers fall to 3-13 Saturday — a loss that means this organization has now missed the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years — we have some early 2014 slogan front-runners:
"It Really Can't Get Any Worse... Can It?"
"Hey, At Least We're Not The Eskimos. Oh, Wait..."
"Game Day, We All Pray"
"Fully Stocked Rum Hut"
"More Grey Cup Titles Than The RedBlacks"
Now, as head coach Tim Burke stepped in front of the podium early Saturday evening to offer up his take on what went wrong against the Toronto Argonauts, it was actually hard not to feel a bit sorry for the man who took over an absolutely horrid team last year and was asked to make chicken salad out of chicken spit.
He talked about mistakes like dropped passes, the most glaring a whiff by Cory Watson near the end of the first half.
He talked about a missed field goal in which holder Mike Renaud — after spinning the ball for Sandro DeAngelis to get the laces out — actually had the ol' pigskin slip off the tee.
He talked about a swack of penalties, referring especially to a J.T. Gilmore unnecessary roughness no-no in the second quarter that had defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan absolutely losing it on the sidelines.
And he talked about the football clanging off the upright on a Max Hall pass attempt to an open Clarence Denmark, that might be the one play that perfectly represents the 2013 season.
"It seems like this is the year that this is going to happen," said Burke. "You're just going to have those fluky kind of things happen. Hopefully, next year they won't happen."
(Another Bombers' 2014 slogan entry: "All The Fluky (insert bad word) Is Out Of Our System"
So, now that 2013 has officially been made a write-off, how exactly do the Bombers sell 2014?
It doesn't have to be complicated, although it's clear this franchise really has to pucker up and get into full butt-kissing mode with its faithful.
First, selling 2014 would start — check that, COULD start — with the organization ending the uncertainty in the football operations department, dumping the "acting" titles from new boss Wade Miller and GM Kyle Walters. After all, it's hard to sell stability when all the office doors feature names scribbled on strips of masking tape.
It would come with pulling any strings, working some magic and/or doing any kind of voodoo, to land a legit QB prospect before Christmas, because no single issue has plagued the Bombers over the last few years than the weekly questions about the man who takes the first snap from centre.
The promising Zach Collaros in Toronto comes to mind. Any one of Calgary's three pivots would be an upgrade. Heck, anybody... just as long as his name doesn't include the words "Michael" and "Bishop."
Most of all, selling 2014 could be hammered home with just a simple message from the bosses: here's what's wrong and here are the fundamental keys to the blueprint that's going to fix it. And then there needs to be cold, hard evidence that plan is being put into place ASAP.
(Bombers 2013 slogan, given the wonders of hindsight: "Look At The Lipstick on THIS Pig!")
After all, no franchise should suck this bad for this long in an eight-team loop.

Wonderful week with friends!
We stayed at the unit as 2 families - 4 adults and 6 kids. The one party in our group flew in from Holland for the week. The location of the unit is outstanding. It is a 10 minute walk to the Village where you can eat, shop, go to the spa, catch a tram ride and do a variety of things. The unit is well laid out and everyone had their own space to go to when they needed it. The 4+ bathrooms are key and we enjoyed grilling out and cooking in the kitchen. The kitchen is very well equipped and the dining room/living room space is very comfortable for a large group. As for activities, we would recommend swimming in Jenny Lake and doing the boat trip/hike to Inspiration Point and the Falls; taking a day to Yellowstone; buying a tram ticket to the top and hiking the 7.4 miles down the mountain on the Wildflower trail (did with 6 kids all under age 13 in 3 hours); mountain biking on the mountain using the chairlift; horsebacking with AOK Corral; shopping in Jackson; catching the Sunday evening free concert; making good use of the pool/hot tubs 2 doors down in the club; white water rafting doing the float/breakfast/raft combo with Barker Ewing Rafting company; and finding the Granite hot springs South of town in the Gros Ventre park for a relaxing few hours. Tom was extremely easy to work with throughout the process. He checked in with us during our stay and had his property manager check in with us regarding an issue that we had with the coffee maker. As for suggestions, some of the rooms need new blinds as they are broken/torn/falling down; the coffee maker is in need of repair as it leaks out of the bottom and coffee grinds go everywhere; the decks are in need of some attention; and the 1st floor smells musty in the 2 bedrooms - maybe remove the carpet? Having said this, these are all small things which are part of normal maintenance on a property and not big issues. The condo is lovely, homey and very well thought out. Laundry is great! Water pressure is great in showers! We would stay here again in a heartbeat! One suggestion is to tell people what to do with recyclables. We took a trunkload to the Aspens grocery parking lot and only had 4 bags of trash all week due to finding that location for recycling. We really appreciate you having us in your condo and hope to return to ski because the mountain looks incredible! Thank you, Tom!
Excellent Stay
Our group of 8 stayed here in the middle of July for our friends wedding. The place is even nicer than the pictures lead on. Great views from the deck. Spacious main area and kitchen where we could all hang out. Easy walk to the main village area. We were so busy with activities that we only used the hot tub once but it was as advertised. Would definitely stay here again if we make it out to the Jackson Hole/Teton Village area again.
Aspens Condo Vacation
The location of this condo is perfect for a Grand Teton National Park visit as it is so close to the park entrance! It is nicely decorated inside and lacks for nothing. Also being walking distance from an excellent grocery store is a great plus point. We also enjoyed many of the fine restaurants just minutes away. We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo.

Vikings QB Brett Favre met with NFL security on Tuesday in Minnesota.
Vikings head coach Brad Childress said Monday the team would have no role in the talks. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had said over the weekend that Favre would be interviewed by NFL security.
PFW correspondent Judd Zulgad reported that Favre's agent, Bus Cook, attended the meeting with Favre. The NFL will have no comment today on the meeting.
There are allegations that Favre sent inappropriate photos and messages to former Jets employee Jenn Sterger in 2008 when Favre was a member of the Jets.

Here's a look at another key matchup heading into Sunday's Week 16 battle between the Jets and Bears.
Jets KR Brad Smith vs. Bears' kickoff coverage
Devin Hester became the all-time leader in kick returns for touchdowns on Monday night, but, as head coach Lovie Smith was sure to mention when praising Hester Wednesday, the Jets have a pretty dangerous returner, too.
The Jets' Brad Smith has returned two kickoffs for touchdowns this season and 32 of his 47 returns have gone for 20 yards or more. No player with more than 21 kickoff returns this season has a better average per kickoff return than Smith's 29.1 mark. The Bears haven't given up a kickoff return for a TD all season and special-teams coordinator Dave Toub usually does a fine job of preparing his players. Vikings RB-KR Lorenzo Booker was able to find a hole in coverage on Monday night, however, and had a 49-yard kickoff return against Chicago.
QB Mark Sanchez is dealing with a cartilage tear in his throwing shoulder, which could hamper him if he plays Sunday. The Jets will go with Mark Brunell if Sanchez can't play.
Either way, the Jets' offense could use a boost from their special teams against one of the league's better defenses, and Smith will provide one if his blockers clear a lane for him to burst through or if the Bears miss tackles.

Definitely a secluded area. Its 8-10 miles from the remote villagers. The village is thirty plus miles from a town. To get to a hospital from that town is another hour away.
Getting There
Start at Cachapama. leave the village heading east and follow the trail besides the Santa Cruz River several plus miles to the Valley basin between these highest peaks.

For many years I recommended avoiding this climb. I had not been on any glacier before. My multiple thousand foot ascent without a rope and at my limit of mental endurance had me thinking everyone should not do this route. This caste misguidance to my opinion is gone. If I had, had a rope, alone, going up it would have made a big difference. The climb with a rope and a few anchors would have been pretty good because it was out of the way from and climbing had no avalanche potential.

ABC News reports that non-Chase customers in Illinois are now being charged $5 to use the bank's ATM machines. They're trying out $4 fees at their ATMs in Texas.
The average fee nationwide is $2.60, and Chase's experiments come just as banking industry lobbyists are pressuring Congress to delay the imposition of fee limits on customers' debit and credit cards.

NEW ORLEANS -- Drug enforcement agents, New Orleans police, firefighters and EMS converged on the 700 block of Dumaine, cordoned off the block, put on HazMat suits and searched a house they were concerned could containing dangerous chemicals associated with a meth lab.
"Methamphetamines were being sold from this location," said Commander Jeff Walls of the NOPD's 8th District.
Walls said police got a tip from a caller about drug activity at the location.
"Narcotics unit did some follow up and verified that narcotics were being sold from this location," he said.
Walls said the 32-year-old man who lives at the Dumaine address, Scott Kowaleski, was arrested on drug charges. The NOPD joined forces with the DEA, which brought in a chemist to examine the chemicals.
"Well it's just chemical set-up for a meth lab," Walls said. "Doesn't appear that it was an active lab right now."
Still some neighbors were alarmed about the notion of a meth lab in the French Quarter.
"You know, it's scary that it was explodable or whatever," said Derek Elias. "But I'm sure it's safe now."
Resident Lloyd Lind said he was "totally shocked and surprised."
"I've never seen anybody go in or out of that house," Lind said.
The EMS says there was no danger to neighbors, only the people inside.
"It could have an effect on respiratory for people inside the house, but there's no threat outside," said EMS Deputy Chief Ken Bouvier. "They're monitoring it. There are meters and monitors that detected nothing outside the building."
Bouvier said it could have been an active lab at one point. That's being investigated.
He stresses the containers they found inside were sealed and there was no kind of a spill to cause concern.

May 31, 2007Albany -- Recent acts of gang violence have many people in Albany outraged, and searching for answers. The Dougherty County Sheriff says stepping up prosecution of gang members is one way to fight them. But he also says keeping kids from joining gangs in the first place is the best way to cut down their numbers. A gang sign glorifying the Bloods on a business just blocks from the center of Downtown Albany. Sheriff's Deputies say gangs are in every corner of Albany. Dougherty County Sheriff's Office Captain Kevin Sproul said "There are gangs there. Gangs are like maggots and roaches, they are everywhere."
Albany teens put on colors, but instead of gang bandanas, they are putting on team jerseys.Instead of a shootout, these kids are playing dodge ball in a summer youth program sponsored by the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office.
GREAT, or Gang Resistance Education And Training, started Thursday with 137 kids. Teaching these kids to avoid gangs before they get involved. "We're trying to show them the negative side of gangs. That the gang is all about the leader. And what the leader can prosper out of the gang," said Sproul.
Lawmen say gangs this summer will be recruiting fifth and sixth graders like these. The GREAT Program is taking them off the street, keeping them out of gangs instead of arresting them later.
Sheriff Jamil Saba started the GREAT program in Albany in 1994, and he says it works. "If you can prevent it, you won the game."
The GREAT Program is full for the summer. Community leaders say the gang problem in Albany is bad, because there are too many kids falling through the cracks into the gangs.Albany State University's Dr. Joshua Murfree agrees, "You are still going to see the outburst of gangs, because we miss so many children."Even though gang violence continues to make headlines, Captain Sproul says he sees law enforcement winning the battle against gangs. "I'm starting to see it come around. With the community coming together more and working together hand in hand, with more agencies coming in play, I'm starting to see improvement," Sproul said.But he says more community involvement teaching these kids to avoid gangs would be better than putting them in prison in the future. The Dougherty County School Police, Jail officers, and Dougherty County Sheriff's deputies supervise the GREAT Program.
This year school nurses sponsored by Phoebe Putney Hospital will also work as counselors.
