Arizona Sonora Desert near Tucson, Arizona, USA
The World > North America > USA > Arizona > Tucson
The Arizona Sonora Desert stretches from central Arizona south into the state of Sonora, Mexico and west into portions of Southern California. It is the hottest and driest desert in North America with an area of over 120,000 square miles. Its most prominent landmark is the saguaro cactus, but the biodiversity of the desert is truly amazing. The Desert is generally divided into seven regions according to characteristic vegetation: Lower Colorado Valley, Arizona Upland, Plains of Sonora, Foothills of Sonora, Central Gulf Coast, and Magdalena Region. Other major types of cactus, some of which are shown in the panorama, include Cholla, beavertail, hedgehog, fishhook, prickly pear, night blooming cereus, and organ pipe. The picture above show the variety of plant species found in the Desert, such as Creosote bush and bursage, Indigo bush, Mormon tea, and mesquite. Prominent in the panorama is a spindly ocotillo cactus, which sprouts leaves only in the wet season.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

---- — BOSTON – An Andover man has been convicted in federal court on charges of obstructing a grand jury investigation.
Kamlesh Patel, 48, pleaded guilty before United States District Judge George O'Toole, Jr. to obstruction by destruction and alteration of documents in connection with a grand jury investigation, according to a press release issued Wednesday by the office of U.S. Attorney Carmin Ortiz.
Patel had earlier received a grand jury subpoena for records relating to his business dealings with another company and claims that the other company was owned and operated by a service-disabled veteran.
Patel was aware that he had documents on his computer that were relevant to the subpoena and the pending investigation. Patel nonetheless deleted those documents, the statement said.
Patel, who owned J&J Contractors of Lowell, could not be reached for comment. A person answering the phone at J&J Contractors said Patel was no longer affiliated with the company at 35 Market St., Suite 401.
Patel, who owns a $1.6 million home on Trevino Circle in Andover, started the company about 17 years ago and built it into a multi-million-dollar construction firm. The company, according to its Website, has dozens of contracts for major federal, state and local governments.
It also does work for private firms, including Mainstream Global in Lawrence. According to the company Website, Patel's company renovated the interior and exterior of the JJ Levis Paper building on Canal Street as part of a $2.2 million project.
The building, formerly owned by the Levis family, is now owned by Juan and Luis Yepez, CEO and COO, respectively, of Mainstream Global, a computer shipping firm.
J&J Contractors has built schools, military facilities and even border crossings for the U.S. government.
According to a lengthy profile of Patel published in 2011 by Construction Today, the company built a border crossing between the U.S. and Canada in Calais, Maine, a $57.8 million project for the General Services Administration.
J&J also builds high schools, including a $29 million, 190,000-square-foot school in Stillwater, Maine. It also built Plymouth North High School in Plymouth, Mass., a $68 million project.
Patel's attorney, David Vicinanzo of the Boston firm Nixon-Peabody, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 12. Under sentencing guidelines, Patel could face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.
The announcement of the guilty plea was made Wednesday by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz along with Jeffrey Hughes of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Luis Hernandez of the General Services Administration, Michael Conner of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, Aaron Collins of the U.S. Small Business Administration and Robert Panella of the U.S. Department of Labor.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sara Miron Bloom and William Bloomer.
Patel was originally charged in April on an "Information," which is a legal tool allowing a prosecutor to file criminal charges against someone without a grand jury indictment.

The Colorful Terminator Going Green After Red Career in Politics? —
[Jan. 1]
The Terminator always said he'd be back, but very few people ever expected the outspoken Republican to promise to be back with a green vengeance.
According to the Huffington Post in an article dated January 1, 2011,
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is sifting through a stack of corporate, Hollywood and real estate offers as the celebrity politician nears an inevitable career crossroad: On Monday, he's out of a job.
His next act? After seven years in Sacramento, the former strongman and film star will by his own account hit the speech circuit, keep a hand in political activism and possibly write the autobiography that publishers have wanted him to do for years.
Schwarzenegger says he even might get back into acting if the right script comes along – presumably one appropriate for a 63-year-old father of four with political baggage, advancing age lines and a tinge of gray.
"Will I still have the patience to sit on the set and to do a movie for three months or for six months, all of those things? I don't know," the governor tweeted in October in a rare exchange about his future plans.
The governator has been a controversial figure — liked by all in Hollywood as an pop culture classic film actor who made his mark playing in Action Adventure Movies like Predator and Conan the Barbarian but won our hearts in role's like the spy dad in True Lies and the under cover detective in Kindergarten Cop.
Because he is a Republican who helped make the Hummer 4×4 popular, green people or Democrats typically have not trusted him. Because he helps promote eco friendly automobiles and motorcycles like the Tesla Motors Roadster and the Zero Emissions motorcycles and expressed a passionate regard for correcting his ways and trying to clean up California's environment by embracing new lifestyle habits, the Republicans don't know what to make of him either.
So, what will Arnold Schwarzenegger do next with his immense star power but waning political pull?
We have one simple suggestion.
Start small by getting your free wheeling Kennedy family heir wife Maria Schriver's eco habits under control — then hit the green news scene with a vengeance.
You need to get her OUT of old Escalades and Black Range Rovers into the new pearl white hybrid model versions as quickly as possible — and keep her off the cel phone when she is driving in traffic. Using a mobile phone while operating a vehicle is illegal in California and she looks like a socially un – conscious idiot every time sites like TMZ and Radar Online snap a picture of her doing it.

Hits: 1290
Johanna Muehring of Tempe, Ariz., formerly of Fairhaven, died Friday, Nov. 30, 2012. She was 88.
Private services were held. Arrangements were by Tempe Mortuary.
Johanna Beck Muehring was born March 21, 1924, in Sao Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, to missionary parents Rev. John and Gloria (Berwald) Beck. She grew up in several small towns in Central Minnesota. Her family moved to Fairhaven in her junior year. She graduated from Kimball High School in 1942.
Later, she met and married her beloved Harlan Muehring Jan. 13, 1946. They welcomed two children Mark and Joy into their lives. In 1968, the family moved from St. Paul to Arvada, Colo., and in 1986, she and Harlan retired to Tempe, Ariz.
Johanna enjoyed many things, including teaching Sunday School to children and leading Bible Studies. She was a life-long learner who loved reading and researching topics, traveling during her middle age to exotic places with family, and playing fun card games. But the love of her life was, and always will be her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
She is survived by her precious loved ones, husband Harlan; son Mark (and Kris); daughter Joy; spiritual daughter Almedia (and Dave); many grandchildren; great-grandchildren; four brothers and two sisters, and all those friends dear to her heart. She loved to share God's faithfulness to all who would listen.

This is the 20th in a series of opinionated fantasy football columns that will be posted daily in July and August, providing fantasy owners with some insights to consider as they prepare for their drafts. You can get an in-depth preview of the upcoming fantasy football season with the purchase of the Yahoo! Sports / Pro Football Weekly Fantasy Football Guide 2010, available now in newsstands and bookstores, or online at PFWstore.com.
After tearing an ACL early in training camp last year, which knocked him out for the entire season, Falcons WR Harry Douglas will return to the field in 2010, and the team is expecting him to provide a spark once again.
Some fantasy owners will no doubt bet that he will do the same thing for their team when it comes time to find a backup receiver late in drafts.
Douglas may not be a star, but he's well known inside savvy circles of fantasy players. Despite making just 23 catches in his career, he is being watched closely by Falcons fans as he makes his return, and it came as a minor disappointment when he was held out of OTAs in late May. The Falcons were hoping he would function as their own version of New England's Wes Welker when they drafted the 6-0, 182-pound Douglas the third round in 2008.
"When we drafted Harry a couple of years ago, the expectations, having come from New England, were to have a player that was reminiscent of Wes Welker, who could play the slot inside with two big tall wide receivers in Roddy White and Mike Jenkins," GM Thomas Dimitroff, who previously served as a scout for the Patriots, said earlier this offseason. "We wanted to have that underneath guy. … We bring in Tony Gonzalez and we have him inside as well and we had Michael Turner running the rock. We thought we had a lot of firepower there.
"So, we are getting back to thinking that we are going to return to that idea. Hopefully, if we can stay healthy, we are excited about our possibilities of producing on offense."
If he fully recovers, as expected, from the knee surgery without losing any of the speed and quickness he flashed as a rookie, the hype Douglas is receiving will have been warranted.
The Falcons have their No. 1 receiver in White, but Douglas has a shot at taking snaps away from Jenkins, who is penciled as the No. 2 receiver. At the least, Douglas will be Atlanta's top weapon in the slot. QB Matt Ryan had more passing attempts in 14 games last season than he did in 16 contests as a rookie, and it's likely that the Falcons will allow him to throw even more often in Year Three.
Douglas has big-play potential and the Falcons used him as a rusher, receiver and returner in his first season. Count on offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey getting creative and finding ways to get the ball in Douglas' hands.
He could be a valuable piece off the bench for fantasy owners in 2010.

September 3, 2014
FORT CARSON, Colo. (AP) -- A soldier accused of repeatedly stabbing another soldier to death in her barracks at a Colorado Army post blames the slaying on a potent mixture of anti-depressants and alcohol.
Fort Carson Sgt. Vincinte Jackson is being court-martialed. He is charged with murder and premeditated murder in the Jan. 6 death of Spc. Brandy Fonteneaux, of Houston. The Gazette reports that the defense Tuesday called forensic psychologist Gail Poyner of Oklahoma City to testify as part of trying to establish whether Jackson intended to kill Fonteneaux.
Poyner quoted studies and research on an anti-depressant that Jackson allegedly mixed with alcohol the night of the slaying. Prosecutors will cross-examine Poyner on Wednesday.
Witnesses also testified that Jackson, who was injured by shrapnel in Afghanistan, was about to retire.

Greg Schiano admits this week's three-day mini camp is a critical part of the learning process – not only for the players, but for the coaching staff.
It's a staff that right now playing catch up.
"I'm certainly behind guys that have coached their team before," Schiano said. "There's no doubt about that. So from a personnel standpoint, I have some real catching up to do. I'll watch these tapes a lot harder than I might if this was my second or third year as a head coach because I would know these guys.
"I'm trying to figure out how they
move, how they react and how they do when they get a little bit
fatigued," he continued. "There is more to learn than just the scheme
when you are watching the tape. The other thing is that being a new head
coach in this league, everything takes a little longer. I don't have
the familiarity with some of the tasks that I have to do. I look forward
to the second cycle, but I am enjoying the heck out of the first cycle.
After doing the same thing for 11 years this has been exciting."
This extra time on the field is also allowing time to experiment. Ronde Barber is getting a look at safety, and with calling some plays in the huddle. Mason Foster remains the starter at middle linebacker, but it's Quincy Blacks that's calling the defensive plays.
"They're very preliminary, but we are going to try different combinations," Schiano said. "Our goal is to get the best 11 on defense and best 11 on offense and the best 11 on special teams. So who they are, I don't think you can pigeon-hole guys into different positions because the scheme is going to be a little different than it's been. But we're going to try to figure out what the best combination is. That will take a little bit of time. You can't take too long because guys have to create a comfort level for themselves, but now is the time to mess around."
Schiano's offensive philosophy starts with the running game. But right now his backfield is a little bare. There are just two tailbacks left over from last year: LeGarrette Blount and Mossis Madu.
"Well, we actually brought in a third guy, he kind of is a tryout," Schiano said. "So that took a little burden off. We'll go some one-back and things and we'll mix it up. We're not going to put anybody in jeopardy of being exhausted and possibly injure themselves. It's a little bit of a strain, but again, we'll have to bolster that number to go to training camp for sure."
The Bucs will have a good chance to bolster that backfield two weeks from now in the NFL draft.

If SkillsUSA is all about the students – and a good deal of it is – then there's almost no better time to see and hear them than going to state spring conferences. Each conference is different, but they're all fun. I'll be attending nine this year, so I'll be having lots of fun.
On March 23 – 25, I was in San Antonio for the SkillsUSA Texas College/Postsecondary Conference. The keynote speaker was U.S. Representative Francisco Canseco, and he spoke highly and favorably of the Perkins Act and SkillsUSA and he stressed the importance of skilled workers to rebuilding the nation's economy. Richard Chappel of Snap-on Industrial was the industry conference chairman, and I spoke to the group as well. Texas has a strong group of state officers and 375 great students attended. Congratulations to Stacy Scott, state association director, and to Larry Haefling and Dr. Federico Zaragoza.
On March 26, I went to the West Virginia State Leadership and Skills Conference in Martinsburg. The keynote speaker there was Larry Faircloth, owner and president of a realty company, but also a candidate for governor. He talked about creating jobs in West Virginia and how he sees SkillsUSA and CTE as parts of the answer. I was there for the second day of competition and spoke to the teachers and during the awards ceremony. It was great to spend time with Paul Lovett, the energetic new state association director, and with corporate member, Rick Gillman.

This might be the dunk of the year. Blake Griffin's poster dunk was nice, but Gerald Green's dunk on Saturday night was excellent for other reasons. It was simple, sure, but the execution was just fantastic. The video will be something you just can't stop watching.
The Nets found themselves on a two-on-one break in the third quarter and Green was in perfect position for an alley-oop. He threw it down with style, jamming home a windmill, but that still doesn't capture just how ridiculous the dunk was. Simply put, Green looked like he was shot out of a cannon.
The first angle kind of catches it, but watch the rest. Pay attention to the close up of Green as he catches the ball. Look at his eyes and notice where they are. He's looking down at the rim. If he wanted, he could pucker his lips and probably give the rim a kiss.
This wasn't even a dunk content jam or something done in an exhibition. And yet, it probably could've won the dunk contest this year!

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Enjoy discovering Tallinn's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and fabulous Kadriorg Palace on this tour that showcases some of Tallinn's most charming attractions.
Commencing at the pier, you will first make the short drive by coach into the heart of Tallinn's colorful Old Town, where ancient walls and tower gateways can be seen. Leaving your coach behind, you will enjoy a guided walking tour which begins at Tall Hermann Tower and proceeds a short distance up Toompea Hill to Palace Square. Here, you can visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, which dominates the city skyline, and houses numerous gold icons and mosaics inside.
Next, you will continue along Tallinn's medieval cobbled streets were you might see the Gothic Dome Church, also known as St. Mary's Cathedral. Before rejoining your coach, you will make your way to a scenic viewpoint which offers some great views over the Lower Town rooftops.
A 30-minute drive from Old Town brings you to impressive Kadriorg Palace, built in 1718 by Peter the Great in honor of his empress wife Catherine I. Its magnificent scale is enhanced by its setting on several levels, with upper and lower gardens in contrasting styles. The Swan Pond in the Lower Garden is a truly a visual delight. Kadriorg means "Catherine's valley" in Estonian, although the palace was seldom visited by the Tsarina. Since the Russian revolution, the ornate palace rooms have been used as an art museum, and following a closure in recent years, Kadriorg has reopened in its former glory. After viewing highlights of the European art on display here, you will make your way outside for a pleasant stroll through the Lower Garden. Afterwards, you will re-board your coach and transfer back to the pier where your tour concludes.
Please note: This tour includes just over 3-hours of active walking over uneven and cobblestone surfaces. There are some steps and stairs to negotiate. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and not considered suitable for those with mobility concerns.

Newlywed Kaley Cuoco was still glowing from the excitement of her wedding when she arrived at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles tonight (January 12).
The 'Big Bang Theory' actress wore a floral, strapless gown from Rani Zakhem Fall 2013 Couture and Jimmy Choo shoes.
Let's start with the positive. It's always refreshing to see pattern on the red carpet, especially at the major awards shows when pattern tends to be rare.
However, Kaley has worn this princess silhouette at so many award shows (it was even the silhouette of her wedding dress) that it would have been nice to see her experiment with something different.
Beyond that, the fit of the corseted bodice and cups is off and poor Kaley has been tugging it up on camera during interviews.
Limp hair and distracting green eye shadow complete the look.
Kaley has been making poor red carpet choices for far too long. Someone get this gorgeous girl a better stylist!

Let it be known that LeBron James is a human who bleeds human blood. Near the end of the Miami Heat's 103-81 Thursday night win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, James took two shots to the nose from Serge Ibaka, causing him to leave the game with a bloody nose.
He finished the dunk anyway, because of course he did.
Amazingly, Ibaka was not called for a foul on either hit. James lay on the ground for several minutes with his nose bleeding before going to the locker room.
After the game, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters that James passed a concussion test. Miami's next game is at home Sunday against the Chicago Bulls.
I'm sure reports will come on it later, but it basically looks like LeBron had his nose broken mid-drive, played thru it, and scored. Lord.—

Cincinnati Fire Union officials say 71 fewer firefighters on the force will, in some cases, increase response times up to a couple minutes.
However, the smaller staff and longer response times could be a formula for higher insurance premiums.
"Less police protection and less fire protection, it is reasonable to assume the rates will ultimately go up because of it," said Tom Tassert, President of HTT Insurance Agency.
For many years, the Insurance Services Office (ISO) has given the City of Cincinnati Fire Department a 2-rating. It's the second highest rating a department can receive. Insurance companies use this rating to calculate home insurance premiums.
"It's very important," said Tassert. "Cincinnati has always had a very favorable protection class rating."
Local 48 President Matt Alter says 71fewer firefighters will impact Cincinnati residents' pocket book.
"It absolutely could effect the ISO rating, which would mean your insurance would go up," said Matt Alter, President of Cincinnati Fire Fighter Union Local 48. "So you effectively could pay more for your insurance for less of a service."
FOX19 asked City Manager Milton Dohoney if the ISO rating would drop.
"I don't know that we are at that point," said Dohoney. "We are going to have on average about 10 brownouts a day."
Insurance agents say fewer firefighters and less cops could have an impact not only on home insurance premiums, but also on car insurance premiums.
Experts say it's too early to determine how much premiums would increase if the ISO rating is dropped.

Henry Paul a 77-year-old resident of Andrews has reached 5,000 miles of paddling on the Black River since he first started keeping a log in April 2010.
5,000 miles is about the distance from Andrews to the Hawaiian Islands, Paul said.
Now I am working on my next 1,000 miles.
He said that distance is equivalent to paddling 24 hours a day for 12 days without a break.
The route Paul takes, from Reds Landing upstream to Bark Landing, is about eight and a half miles one way, he said.
But the distance he reaches in one day is determined by the tides and water level, since a high tide creates a 1 to 2 mph current.
He kayaked 1,000 miles between June 14, 2013 and Feb. 4 in 125 trips.
Paul has captured several beautiful scenes in photographs, including landscapes, birds and turtles, and live oaks with Spanish moss and Resurrection ferns hanging over the water.
He is a boating safety advocate who recommends always wearing a personal flotation device and checking the weather before going out.
And be aware of your paddling capabilities, Paul said.

Car was on fire prior to striking Chugwater gas station
Chugwater fire Chief Tom Ash says the car that drove into the front of Horton's Corner store Sunday evening was apparently on fire before it crashed into the building.
The collision caused an explosion and fire that destroyed the building, the only gas station the community had and the only one between Wheatland and Chugwater. Highway signs are alerting drivers there is no fuel at the location.
Authorities say 42-year-old John Barberini of Casper drove into the front of Horton's Corner convenience store and gas station on Sunday evening. Two employees and a customer were inside but no one was injured.
Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened. Horton's owners promise to take care of their 14 employees until they decide whether to rebuild.

Considering a Reverse Mortgage? Heed These TipsFebruary 11, 2013 10:32 AM
Share with others:
By Mary Boone
Reverse mortgages have been in the news a lot lately, primarily because of accusations that they're hurting the very people they're supposed to be helping: senior citizens.
A reverse mortgage is, in essence, a loan. It allows a homeowner 62 or older to convert home equity into a line of credit or monthly payments so they can stay in their homes and gain access to money needed for retirement. Homeowners borrow against their equity, and the loan balance grows over time. Payments do not have to be made while the homeowner is still living in the home. When the borrower moves out – or passes away – the reverse mortgage must be paid off, although not more than what the home is worth. With a reverse mortgage, the homeowner is required to pay real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance premiums.
There are several types of reserve mortgages on the market. The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is offered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is insured by the Federal Housing Administration. These are the most popular reverse mortgages, making up approximately 95 percent of the market. Proprietary Reverse Mortgages are offered by some lenders to homeowners with high value homes.
Depending on the type of reverse mortgage selected, borrowers may receive payments as a lump sum, line of credit, fixed monthly payment for a specific period or for as long as they live in their homes, or a combination of payment options. The money borrowed through a reverse mortgage is tax-free and can be used for any purpose.
Criticism of reverse mortgage programs is nothing new, but a surge in reported abuse has federal and state regulators tracking new violations. The most common complaints have to do with lenders who aggressively pitch loans to seniors who can't afford the associated fees. Some widows are facing eviction after they say they were pressured to keep their name off the deed without being told they could face foreclosure after their husbands died.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was created in July 2010, is working on new rules concerning mortgage disclosure laws and stricter supervision of lenders.
If you're considering a reserve mortgage, keep these five tips in mind:
1. Explore all your options. Before considering a reverse mortgage, a senior should first determine if he or she qualifies for less expensive programs such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, prescription drug discount programs, or energy and telephone discount programs that offer cost-cutting benefits. Reverse mortgages are expensive loans and should be considered as a last resort.
2. Understand the risks. If, for example, you're unable to pay property taxes or insurance premiums, foreclosure may occur. You can also lose your home if you live somewhere other than your home for longer than your loan agreement allows.
3. Think big picture. Payments from a reverse mortgage may affect your eligibility for assistance from some government programs. Check with the provider of any benefits you're receiving or for which you may be eligible in the future, including Supplemental Social Security Income, Medicaid and food stamps.
4. Beware of predators. Be especially wary of anyone who encourages you to take out a reverse mortgage in order to fund another investment such as an annuity.
5. Seek outside advice. These products are so complicated that financial counseling is required for those applying for an FHA-insured reverse mortgage. It's a good idea for those considering other products. Beyond provided counseling, consider asking a lawyer or another party you trust to review your loan documents. You have three days to back out of a deal if problems pop up.

Fun in the shade on Belmont Stakes day. (Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire)
One of my favorite things about going to the track is that you get to enjoy a variety of activities during and between each race. Remember, horse racing is a spectator sport, but during that in between time at the races (usually 20-30 minutes … although you could be betting races at other tracks!) there are so many things you can do: plan your next bet (I recommend walking to paddock, where the horses are warming up and being saddled before races to check them out in person), grab some food and drink (plenty of food and drink options), relax, socialize, people watch, bathroom break, gift/souvenir shop and more.
The following are some key/essential items to bring. I rarely think about bringing them because they're engrained in my brain, or already in my car's trunk, but for a novice to the racing scene they may prove to be beneficial.
Semi-essential items/recommendations in no particular order:
1. Sun-blockers - Sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, umbrella. While most people like the idea of being sun-kissed, no one likes being sunburnt – once you're sunburnt, the rest of our trip just isn't as fun—it hurts! You can bring all of these sun-blockers, or even just one, it's your call. Plus, if you bring an umbrella it can double as a shield from possible rain or showers (horses run in all conditions). Maybe it's just me, or my recent luck, but the rain seemed to follow me from track to track during the Triple Crown run and I was hardly prepared.

2. Cash - Whether you want to place a bet (of course, you do), pay for general admission ($2-$5 – no major sporting event more affordable), park, buy a racing program or splurge on some yummy track grub or beers, you'll need cash. Most tracks seemingly require cash for everything, except the gift shops. I don't know anyone that enjoys waiting in line to use an ATM and then having to pay those ridiculous surcharges. Additionally, bringing a specific amount of cash with you can help you gauge or monitor your spending … or winnings!
*Side note: there is no better feeling then hitting a few bets, eating and partying all day and going home with more money then you came with — priceless.
3. Dress comfortably - Wear comfortable shoes and clothes — remember you can be fashionable and even "dressed to the nines" while still being functional. If you're a female and plan on walking around, make sure your shoes can deal with grass, dirt and gravel; not everywhere is paved, making it super easy to get your heels caught. Believe me, tripping in front of everyone is never fun. (Note, usually only the Clubhouse has a specific dress code). I highly recommend dressing the part on big race days and being part of the scene because it's fun!

4. Key item - Don't forget to bring a pen (or pencil), something to write with. Even if you don't know how to read a race day program and hardly have a clue what all of the various numbers and figures means, it's still fun to look through the horses, jockeys and trainers. Even if you're only a $2 bettor (usually, the minimum bet) and don't know much about the sport, you can always revert to picking names, jockey colors (silks) or even "lucky numbers" (birthdays, graduation years, whatever) and mark up your program with bets, picks and results. You don't have to be a handicapper extraordinaire to have some fun: "Better to be lucky than good."
5. Betting - Go with your gut, hunches and instinct. (They sell various pick sheets, by "experts," but I say save your money for betting). There is no need to bet on every single race (usually 9-10 races), you're there to enjoy your day, to have some fun and to watch some of the best athletes (animal and human) go head to head. If you're new to betting a fun thing to do is bet against your friends. Everyone puts up a small amount, and either randomly picks a number each, marks their picks in the program and then whichever friend wins takes home the pool of money. Usually, the day's big winner can buy the next round of drinks (or dinner if cashing a big bet). Everyone loves a winner! Also, don't be afraid to ask questions, there are plenty of people walking around the track that love to share their knowledge. Simple wagers to make – win: horse must finish first; place: horse must run either first or second; show: horse must run either first, second or third. Other wagers: exacta – predict exact order of first two finishers; trifecta: predict exact order of first three finishers; Daily Double: pick the winners of two races in a row. And my personal favorite thing to do it to box my bets, so if I bet a 3,5 exacta and box it the horses can run 3, 5 or 5, 3 and I win either way. Keep in simple at the beginning and always remember to have fun.

6. Visit the paddock - This is where horses get saddled, warm up and then parade before each race. It a great opportunity to see the horses up close, see which one you like before you place a bet. I try to always go with my gut; I like to think that you can tell who looks most up to the task ahead when you visit them in the paddock and look em' in the eyes. Someone one told me to pay close attention to the horses that are best groomed, no one spends as much time with the horse as the groom (who spends 7 days a week preparing them and they are true horse listeners). The other reason is to people watch, the race owners are a "who's who" of society — star athletes, Hollywood stars and socialites. You never know who you might see!

7. Food and tailgating - Most tracks allow you to bring in your own food and snacks. Some tracks have a park-like quality to them, beautiful backdrops to spend a day. I recommend bringing chairs and relaxing in the back if possible.

8. A Must … watch a few races live - Sure it's fun to sit out back tailgating and enjoying the company of friends, but there's something magical about being right at the starting gate as it bursts open with the roar and energy of the crowd or being near or at the finish line as the (hopefully your) winning horse passes the finish line. There are many options for you to see a race up close: sit in the stands, walk up on the apron to the finish line, stand near the starting gate or go to the "top of the stretch" – where the horses make the turn for home – and hear the thunderous pounding of the hooves and the riders' loud banter as they jockey their horses in the best positions to win.
Horses coming around the turn at Saratoga Race Course.
9. Another must do, especially for big races - Go by the winner's circle. This is where the owners, jockey and trainer all converge to pose for the "winning photo" and receive the various race trophies. On big days, it can be packed with media and celebrities.
10. Plan ahead - Find a good restaurant or local watering hole to continue the post-race party … either celebrating your winnings, recapping your day (famous race track slogan: "Should have, would have, could have") or commiserating with friends.

Caro bullish after sweet success in international art competition
Updated 9:22am Thursday 1st May 2014 in News
NO bull, Malvern sculptor Caro Sweet has been named a grand prize winner in an international art competition for one of her bronze sculptures.
Inspired by the cattle grazing the Malvern Hills, her model of a bull titled "Legend", will appear with two of Ms Sweet's other works in an iArtBook publication "101 Artworks featuring the Animal Kingdom", which is due out soon. The competition organised by Art Has No Borders invited international artists to enter their work in a variety of media by online digital submission.
"I was thrilled to receive an email notifying me of my win," Ms Sweet said. "Many open exhibitions and juried competitions use online submission of photos to make their selections these days. I knew it was time for me to update my knowledge of digital photography and computer processes to keep up with this. So I booked on to a short photography course and learnt some extra PC skills. It certainly paid off.
"Art Has No Borders is publishing a series of iArtBooks this year and it is a great way for artists to get their work in front of a global audience. I would recommend any artist to have a go at submitting well-photographed, good quality work. The process is really very simple, if I can get to grips with the technology, anyone can."
As winner of the competition Ms Sweet will have a bespoke interactive iArtBook published of her twork to showcase her talent. She also receives a cash prize, adding: "I have already decided to put that towards an iPad, so my technology journey will continue."

MORGANTON — The morning was rainy, with air temperatures in the 40s, not exactly the type of weather most anglers consider prime for fishing.
Even a green-and-white, diamond-shaped sign posted at the Bridgewater Public Fishing Area appeared unwelcoming because it said the season for Hatchery Supported trout waters was open only from the first Saturday in April until the last day of February. Today was in between those dates, March 23.
A lot of anglers wont fish in this weather, but overcast days are best, said Scott Cunningham, a fishing guide from Marion. In the Catawba River the section downstream of Muddy Creek has a Special Regulation designation. We are going to float down through the Hatchery Supported section to Special Regulation section before we begin fishing.
From their launching point at Bridgewater to the takeout point at the Morganton water intake constitutes a trip of 8 miles, a long day of fishing in a boat propelled only by the river flow and steered with carbon fiber oars. Duke Energys powerhouse at Bridgewater has two hydropower generation turbines. One or two might operate, or, as was the case on this morning, neither may run, creating the rivers lowest flow conditions.
We might have to push the raft through a rapid or two, but we will get to the good fishing, Cunningham said. We should catch a lot of brown trout today.
The stretch of river they would be fishing is the only Special Regulation trout water in the state. The designations goal is growing outsized brown trout in what anglers call a tailrace fishery.
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission stocks the river with rainbow, brook and brown trout. Brown trout grow rapidly in the swiftly flowing, highly oxygenated waters downstream of high-elevation power plants.
Flooding in 2004 hurt the fishing, Cunningham said. But it has recovered, thanks to the Commissions stockings.
In the other boat were Chad Stevens, a fishing guide from Marion and Marshall Kirksey, a Clemson student from Morganton. The anglers stowed their fly rods and shoved off.
At the mouth of Muddy Creek, Cunningham began casting a Catawba Bugger, a variation of the popular Wooly Bugger fly pattern. It is a large, black fly with lead wire tied around the hook shank to orient the hook, point up.
It keeps it from snagging bottom, he said. To a trout, it looks like a hellgrammite.
A hellgrammite is the larval stage of the Dobsonfly. Trout eat many species of flies and their larvae. Kirksey fished a nymph pattern fly beneath a hot pink strike indicator.
Ive caught lots of trout in this river, Kirksey said. I enjoy fly fishing because it is the most effective way to fish it. It is also the most fun.
Initially, the anglers caught bass and yellow perch. However, the farther downstream they drifted, the more the dingy waters of Muddy Creek gave way to the clearer waters of the Catawba River and the more the trout bite spiked. They cast to eddies created downstream of rocks and logs, as well as to overhangs and seams along the steeper drop-offs. They hauled in many brown trout before they came to a bridge.
Anchoring the boats, the anglers waited for the rain to slacken. Cunningham cast around the bridge supports and caught three trout, including an 18-incher.
We catch quite a few trout that long, along with dozens of 10- to 12-inchers, he said. In a typical day, we catch 30 trout per boat and one or two will go 18 to 21 inches.
After breaking for lunch, the anglers continued downstream. Eventually, they arrived at their takeout point where one of their vehicles was waiting with a trailer. As they loaded their rafts, the sun finally burned through the clouds.
The anglers had caught dozens of brown trout weighing up to 4 pounds. They released all the fish they caught.
Every trout we release will grow bigger and we want to be able to catch them another day, Cunningham said. People are beginning to find out about the exceptional tailrace fishery in the Catawba and we want to keep it that way.

Brighton Lanes Old Post Office set to become TGI Friday's by Christmas
5:10am Thursday 6th February 2014 in News
A former post office is set to be brought back into use as a TGI Friday's restaurant by the end of this year.
But the transformation of the grade II listed building in Ship Street in Brighton is set to cost developers at least £750,000 just to bring the building back into working order after seven years of disuse, rain damage and squatters.
The Argus understands that the American-themed restaurant chain TGI Friday's hope to be up and running by Christmas at the very latest.
The news comes as further plans to develop the site, which dates back to the turn of the 20th century, have been submitted to Brighton and Hove City Council.
Developers want to convert the first, second and third floors into nine studio, one, two and three-bed flats.
The current planning application lists the building as in "very poor condition" and stated that it currently sits on the council's building 'at risk' register.
A decision on the flats is set to be made next month.
Plans to develop part of the first floor into a TGI Friday's restaurant were approved in June last year.
But work has been held up by the level of damage the building has sustained along with with a number of squatting incidents.
In August last year, police and bailiffs removed 10 squatters from the former post office after they spent a fortnight in the building.
Weeks earlier, six squatters needed rescuing and decontaminating after a fire broke out in the asbestos-ridden property.
Mark Thackery, from Walsingham Planning, said: "At the moment they are just doing all the enabling work to bring the building back into a state where they can put their own mark on it.
"It will cost three quarters of a million just to get the building back into shape before they can begin the conversion.
"It is damage from the best part of eight years of no use and a lack of investment.
"Some of it is damage from squatters, some from the people who stole lead from the roof, there is quite a bit of water damage.
"The whole thing is a very slow process.
"I would think they would want to be in there for Christmas at the latest."
Selma Montford, from conservation group Brighton Society, said: "I will be glad when the building is back in use.
"It's sad for such a building to be left to rot.
"It's not really suitable for a shop but I think a restaurant is a good idea for the site."

Time flies! I can't believe today is the last day of our ATW80 trip. I perfectly remember running from one embassy to the other in Bern just one week before leaving to Dubai, or flying to Spain to grab some business clothes and shoes from my wardrobe in Zaragoza. Not to mention, having to study for my last two Master's exam during our week "break" (which I already know I passed).

Strong Winds And Surf Conditions Erode Beach Over Weekend
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 24 April 2013 00:14

A section of the beach in the southern area of Kure Beach was recently renourished. Strong wind and surf conditions caused erosion over the weekend.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
PLEASURE ISLAND - Stormy weather conditions bringing strong wind and rough surf to Pleasure Island over the weekend eroded areas of the beachfront. Most notable were areas where the beach had recently been renourished.
Kure Beach Building Inspector John Batson said Tuesday that he did not have exact measurements before and after the weekend, but that escarpments were evident along the beachfront.
Robert Keistler, PE, Project Manager for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Wilmington District, said Tuesday that no survey had been taken.
Weeks Marine, the contractor performing the renourishment project, parked their equipment on the beach over the weekend. Waves washed ashore sometimes reaching under a bulldozer and other equipment.
Leaders in Carolina Beach and Kure Beach received good news in early December, the Army Corp of Engineers located additional funding from another project to provide $9.3 million for beach nourishment in both Towns. As a part of the federally sponsored Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Project in place for the two communities, $4,681,500 will be invested on Carolina Beach and $4,635,550 will be invested on Kure Beach.
The Carolina Beach portion of the project has been delayed and an extension was granted by the State to operate past the April deadline for the sea turtle nesting season.
There will be a 30-inch pipe running along the beach from the Carolina Beach Fishing Pier south to an area just past downtown Carolina Beach. As the crew works around the clock on the beach, they will move through areas as fast as possible. Those areas will be blocked off with tape. Work was expected to begin around April 21st and be finished by May 21st. The dredge for the Carolina Beach project has not yet been moved from a nearby project at Bald Head Island to the Carolina Beach Inlet to begin pumping sand. The delay was due to mechanical issues and weather conditions.
On Tuesday Keistler said a meeting was scheduled with the contractor performing the work, Weeks Marine, on Wednesday April 24, to discuss the status of the project and an updated time-line. At a recent Carolina Beach Town Council meeting Keistler said it's their hope to be off of the beach by Memorial Day weekend prior to the busy tourism season.

When voters in St. Tammany Parish go to the polls on election day, November 6, they'll find an important local measure up for a vote - the renewal of the ad valorem tax dedicated to public health.
More than anything else, this tax supports suicide prevention in St. Tammany, a task made more difficult in 2012 by the closing or reorganization of the Southeast Louisiana Hospital in Mandeville.
St. Tammany Parish President Pat Brister was in the studio to talk about the tax and a few other issues.

Dave Walsh was crying. A couple of years ago, the comedian had just finished watching "Vacation," the Chevy Chase screwball comedy about a family's ill-fated cross-country trek to a theme park. The credits were rolling, showing snapshots taken along the way, and Dave couldn't help himself. But he did question his sanity a bit when he realized what was causing the tears.
"The reason why I was crying was because they have such a great story," he recalls. "These Griswolds have experienced something that I would pay money, I would pay great money, to happen to me in my life. And they can never tell the story because they don't recognize the value in it. And it was so heartbreaking to me because that's what my life is about in a way, is telling the story that I experienced."

The Pack / Lowri Morgan / Trail Running
Ultra-running is much more than a run. It is about tradition, overcoming obstacles, commitment, goal setting and accomplishments. Extreme racing is to put yourself on the line, to look deep inside yourself, to push your limits and to find new ones. It commands respect. It can hurt you too – physically, mentally and emotionally. I've been to places in my head where I believe that we, as humans, do not go often enough.
I was never the brightest or cleverest pupil and I had failed in some of my exams. My mother reminded me about the tortoise and that it always gets there in the end. If I was willing to work hard, persevere and was determined enough, I could reach my potential.
And that's my motto during the dark times of a long run or race. Keep plodding – the plodders always get there in the end. Keep going. That might sound obvious but when your soul is stripped bare and you feel at your lowest ebb, putting one foot in front of the other is very hard to do both physically and mentally.
Every time I think of giving up, I remind myself why I run? Quite simply, it's because that's who I am. I love the freedom it gives me, the space to be by myself, the beautiful countries I've had the privilege to race in, pushing boundaries beyond what other people consider normal and lastly the people I have met along the way who have inspired me, made me dig deeper, strive to be better and believe in myself.
Many times during a race I've found myself thinking I can no longer carry on, but I constantly tell myself that putting one foot in front of the other means being one foot closer to the finishing line. In the Amazon for example, the pain eventually disappeared and I'm convinced that this is when my body gave up and my mind took over. It's amazing what mental strength can do.
Whilst in the Arctic Circle I often questioned myself, whilst facing my demons, if the experience was really worth the pain and emotional torture. I had sacrificed so much and had received so much support leading up to the event - Could I return home with my head held up high knowing that I had given up? …Yes, I could - I was the only one left in the race. I had proven enough but failure was not an option. I kept telling myself that the pain of failure would last much longer than the pain I was going through in the race.
I'm not a huge competitor but run high mileage and thoroughly enjoy a personal challenge. I don't look to break any records or compete against others. I just want to push my physical and emotional limits and see how far I can go.
Challenges drive us all - for some this can be a bigger house, smarter car or raising children, for others it is seeing how far they can push their minds and bodies. In my opinion, ultra-running is more about completing the challenge and personal achievement.
Many do not understand the mentality of people like myself, who constantly push their physical and mental boundaries to the extreme. Everyone is entitled to their own passions - be it Mathematics, Motorsport, Art or Literature. The medium I have chosen is Adventure and travel.
Despite the physical, mental and emotional pain of ultra-running, it has given me the most adventures, humbling and awe-inspiring experiences of my life.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The Texas Supreme Court is tackling whether a state that bans gay marriage can grant divorces to same-sex couples who married in other states.
The court heard oral arguments Tuesday on two cases of gay couples in Austin and Dallas. Both got married in Massachusetts and later wanted a divorce in Texas.
Texans approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage in 2005. State attorney general Greg Abbott argues that allowing Texas to grant a divorce requires recognizing the marriage.
The couple argues Texas can't dispute they got married and that the state's ban on gay marriage doesn't include divorce. The state countered that the only remedy for them is to declare their marriages void, as if they were never legal.
The court is not expected to rule for several months.

Youth commission debuts at council session
The members of the new City of Kansas City, Mo., youth commission will be introduced during the City Council legislative session Oct. 20.
The youth commissioners will meet at City Hall every fourth Monday from 4:30-6:30 p.m. beginning Oct. 24.
The purpose of the Kansas City Youth Commission is to mobilize and encourage Kansas City youth to become engaged in the civic arena, as well as promote positive programs and activities in the community. The City established the Kansas City Youth Commission to give young people ages 12-21 the opportunity to be the official youth voice in the City's decision-making process.
The 17 youth commission members were chosen through a competitive selection process based on their commitment and desire to engage the young people of the community. Each council member selected one youth commissioner and the mayor appointed five members.
They will actively participate in the City's processes to ensure that young people have a role and a voice in policy and budget decisions that impact their lives. Members will represent and advocate for the needs and desires of Kansas City's youth and encourage involvement of their peers in Kansas City's political system.
