A year after Manchester police shooting, a life-saving tourniquet is standard issue in cruisers
Manchester police officer Dan Doherty walks through a gauntlet of officers Jan. 14 after a judge sentenced Myles Webster to 60 years in jail for attempted murder. Doherty is back at work. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
But without the tourniquet a fellow officer applied to Doherty's leg at the scene of the shooting, Doherty may well have bled to death. As a result, all Manchester police officers have been trained to apply a tourniquet and render other emergency aid. The response didn't stop there.
"We took it one step further," said Sgt. Mark Sanclemente, department training officer.
Thanks to a grant, the department now has a first aid/trauma kit in every cruiser.
The man who tried to kill Doherty, 26, now sits in the New Hampshire State Prison, serving a sentence of 60 years to life on his convictions for attempted murder, reckless conduct and robbery. Webster, 23, who was only six months out of a federal prison at the time of the shooting, has appealed his convictions to the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
At Webster's trial in December, a doctor testified in Hillsborough County Superior Court North that the tourniquet put on Doherty's left leg was a key element in his survival.
Police Chief David Mara was so impressed that he ordered every Manchester police officer to be trained to properly place a tourniquet and perform other medical assistance.
First on the scene
Sanclemente said officers Brandon Murphy and Tom Gonzales were the first backup officers to arrive at the shooting scene last March 21. The two had issued the alert about a man who appeared to have a weapon tucked in his pants in the area of RiteAid at McGregor Square.
"They were the first with Dan," said Sanclemente.
Murphy, who along with Gonzales is a member of SWAT, had undergone medical training two months before. He immediately assessed the situation and put a tourniquet on Doherty's left leg.
After many surgeries, intensive therapy and with a titanium rod in his left leg, Doherty was able to return to work the first week of February, surprising many fellow officers when he appeared without notice at roll call.
Doctors credited Doherty's survival to his youth, physical condition, the EMTs who sped him from the shooting scene at Wayne and Rimmon streets to nearby Catholic Medical Center, the doctors who operated - and the tourniquet.
There are two medics assigned to SWAT, which is not a full-time job, but now everyone is trained on first aid, including tourniquet application, Sanclemente said.
"To apply to yourself or a teammate," he said.
A dangerous job
Mara said the shooting didn't prompt changes in training because Doherty did everything right, including calling for backup when he spotted Webster, who fled when initially confronted and turned and fired as Doherty closed in on him.
Manchester uses one-person cruisers. If two officers are needed for an incident at a specific address, it's easy to coordinate the arrival, said Mara.
But often it is a search without a definite address.
"If we do find them," he said, the officer calls for backup. "You have to think quick," he said.
"Dan's actions and the actions of other police officers that night show the importance of training." Mara added: "We will continue to train."
Sanclemente said: "We try to prepare for anything."
That's why the department participated in an "active shooter exercise" at Parkside Middle School Feb. 18, when children were on holiday for Washington's Birthday. Police worked with the fire department and paramedics in the mass shooting exercise.
The Manchester Police Department has scheduled an entry level police officer examination May 18 at Memorial High School, with an application deadline of May 8.
Asked if the Doherty shooting is likely to have an effect on applications, Sanclemente, stressing that he was speaking only for himself, said he does not believe it will.
"It's just a dangerous job that we do," he said. "People know what it entails."

Members of Team USA did what every celeb seems to do while in Chicago as of late: They dined at Chicago Cut Steakhouse.
James Harden and Rudy Gay were spotted Friday at Chicago Cut, the same day the Blackhawks' Bryan Bickell dined there. Chandler Parsons visited on Saturday, the same day actors John and Joan Cusack were at Chicago Cut.
There were even more players at the Team USA function Friday at Drumbar in the Raffaello Hotel, including Harden, Gay, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan, among others. Harden, Gay, DeRozan and USA teammate Anthony Davis appeared Friday at a skills clinic at Hayes Court in Jackson Park, located in the Woodlawn community, on behalf of Nike.
In non-Team USA news, the Bears' Lance Briggs and former teammate Rashied Davis hung out Sunday at Kings in Rosemont.
Retired Bull Scottie Pippen appeared Sunday at the grand opening of Giordano's Famous Stuffed Pizza in Glenview. Bickell and the Bulls' Taj Gibson attended the High School Cube event Aug....Read more
Before you ask why the guy who starred in "Sex Tape" and went full frontal in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" wrote a children's book, let me remind you that Jason Segel also wrote and starred in "The Muppets" and lent his voice to "Despicable Me." Really, it's not that far-fetched. And besides, if Sarah Silverman can voice one of the main characters in a kid's movie ("Wreck-It Ralph"), anything is possible in children's entertainment.
Segel will sign copies of his book "Nightmares!" Sept. 14 at Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove. The book signing is presented by Anderson's Bookshop and will include a Q&A with Segel and screening of "The Muppets."
"Nightmares!" is the first book in a planned trilogy and revolves around 11-year-old Charlie Laird, whose nightmares begin to creep into his daily life. Charlie and his friends must fight off President Fear in order to keep the nightmares from taking over. The book was inspired by nightmares Segel had as a child.
Jason Segel's "Nightmares!" book...Read more
This week we'll add one more movie to the long list of horror flicks that have filmed in the Chicago area.
"Sinister 2" – the Blumhouse Productions sequel to 2012's "Sinister," which made $77 million at the world wide box office on a $3 million budget – will kick off its scheduled six-week shoot Tuesday in Chicago, according to a spokesman for Blumhouse. The spokesman added that filming will also take place in St. Anne and just outside of the village of Grant Park.
Ethan Hawke played a true crime novelist in the original "Sinister" who moves his family into a home where several murders took place. Blumhouse announced that the sequel will revolve around a mother played by Shannyn Sossamon ("A Knight's Tale") and her nine-year-old twins who "find themselves in a rural house marked for death." James Ransone ("The Wire") will reprise his role as the sheriff's deputy.
"Sinister 2" has been casting various roles recently, including Lutheran church goers, a Norman Rockwell-type family...Read more
It wasn't all backlash and boycotts for Gene Simmons last week.
The KISS rocker and reality TV veteran -- who made headlines for controversial comments he made about depression in one interview and immigration in another -- attended a fundraiser for Umbrellas for Peace and Sophie's Place Thursday at American Junkie. Simmons spoke during the event about the importance of giving back, according to an American Junkie spokeswoman.
KISS performed Saturday at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park.
Legendary singer Rod Stewart had lunch Thursday at Le Colonial while in town for his show Saturday at the Allstate Arena. Miley Cyrus hung out Wednesday at The Underground before performing Thursday at the United Center. Fellow pop singer Alli Simpson was spotted Wednesday at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago in Rosemont.

Are you a professional chef with several years of experience in the restaurant industry? Then Fox's "MasterChef" doesn't want you. Sorry. The culinary competition hosted by Gordon Ramsay is looking for amateur and home cooks only.
"MasterChef" will hold a casting call Oct. 11 at Hotel Allegro. Applicants must bring one prepared dish to serve to the judges. Keep in mind there will be no kitchen to warm up the food.
The fifth season of "Master Chef" is currently airing on Fox. There was at least one Chicagoan competing in each of the first three seasons of the reality show, but none the last two.

The first thing DJ Dante the Don thought when he woke up the morning after DJing at Miley Cyrus's concert at the United Center was "Did last night really happen?"
Dante – who called Thursday's gig "without a doubt" the biggest of his career -- kicked off his set with the Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius" (aka the Bulls' starting lineup song). He said Cyrus's handlers allowed him to have free rein and didn't give him any instructions.
"It was kind of weird," said Dante (real name Dante Deiana) by email Friday. "They were really hands off. Literally set my stuff up and (they) said 'Go kick (butt).' Obviously, I wasn't going to play any of her songs, but I tried to play a bunch of stuff I know she likes that's current."
What was the highlight of the night for Dante?
"Probably when the lights at the United Center went out and I walked onto the stage and the crowd just went nuts," Dante said. "It was such a surreal feeling and one I'll never forget."
Dante has DJed alongside artists such as...Read more
Steve Kopelman said the Chicago area has really good haunted houses, but the haunted house producer and designer -- who has worked in the industry for over 30 years -- can't help but feel that the area is missing that one great one. He hopes to fill what he perceives to be a void this year with Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare.
Kopelman and the rocker-turned-horror movie director launched the haunted house in Pomona, Calif. in 2013 and this year are moving the haunt to two new locations, including the Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park. The Odeum was the former home of Hades Haunted House and, more recently, Asylum Xperiment.
"There are very good haunted houses in Chicago but there hasn't been that one must-see attraction," Kopelman said.
Zombie isn't the first rocker to delve into the genre. Alice Cooper has lent his name to haunted houses around the country, including a location in Phoenix that Kopelman was part of over a decade ago.
"That was a royalty deal," Kopelman said of...Read more
Javier Baez might need to get used to this sort of attention.
The 21-year-old Cubs rookie – who has hit four home runs in 41 at-bats since getting called up this month – was spotted Monday at Giordano's on Rush Street following his team's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Baez posed for a photo with Giordano's staff after his meal.
Speaking of the Cubs, retired Cub Kerry Wood attended the grand opening of RPM Steak Saturday.
The New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis visited Sprinkles Cupcakes Monday and appeared Wednesday at the Nike Community Store in the Chatham neighborhood. NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins had lunch Aug. 7 at Gibson's Bar and Steakhouse in the Gold Coast.
The Bears' Charles Tillman had lunch Friday at Sophie's at Saks Fifth Avenue in the Near North neighborhood. The Bulls' Tom Thibodeau dined Aug. 5 at Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab. The Bears' Roberto Garza had dinner Friday at Joe's.
Chris Rose ("The Best Damn Sports Show Period") had dinner...Read more
When Kristin Cavallari talks about husband Jay Cutler, we listen – even if she is pretty much just repeating what she's already said about the Bears star.
Cavallari was interviewed by the Bears' Kyle Long on behalf of Michigan Avenue magazine. You might remember Michigan Avenue as the magazine that featured a fashionable Cutler on its cover months after he was traded to the Bears in 2009. Cavallari appears on the cover of the fall fashion issue, which hits newsstands Monday.
"Jay is a great dad," Cavallari told Long. "He's incredibly hands-on, and he has been since day one. It's so sweet seeing him with Camden and Jax, and there's nothing sexier than seeing your husband as a great dad. I couldn't ask for a better partner in this situation."
Cavallari also discussed how many children she wants, her jewelry and shoe line and her thoughts on Chicago. The couple has split time between the Chicago area, the Los Angeles area and Nashville.
"I love Chicago because my mom is here, along with...Read more
Here's hoping another classic Scottie Pippen commercial comes from this partnership.
The Bulls legend and NBA Hall of Famer – who has entertained us in commercials for years, sometimes intentionally – has been named a brand ambassador for Giordano's Famous Stuffed Pizza. Pippen will attend the grand opening of the Giordano's location in the Shops of Heatherfield in Glenview Sunday. The open-to-the-public event will take place from 4-7 p.m. and include games of pop-a-shot.
A spokeswoman for Giordano's said Pippen is also expected to promote other locations opening in the North Shore this year.
Pippen – a North Shore resident himself -- isn't the first Bulls great to team up with Giordano's. Derrick Rose became an investor in the pizza franchise in 2012 and appears in the restaurant's marketing, including online ads and billboards.

Drake's dinner at Chicago Cut Steakhouse in the early hours of Monday was apparently BYODJ.
The rapper/singer brought a laptop and speakers to the restaurant and DJed during his dinner with around 20 friends, according to Chicago Cut managing partner David Flom. Drake co-headlined with Lil Wayne earlier that night at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park.
Pop star Miley Cyrus had dinner Monday at Sunda during a day off from her tour. Cyrus – who performed in Kansas City Tuesday -- will return for her show Thursday at the United Center. Rapper Nas and R&B singer R. Kelly dined separately Aug. 3 at Sunda. Jesse Spencer ("Chicago Fire") was spotted there Friday.
Indie pop duo Capital Cities performed a 101.9 FM The Mix-sponsored acoustic set Friday at the Chicago Sports Museum inside Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch at Water Tower Place mall. Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell dined Aug. 5 at Paris Club Bistro and Bar. Tank dined Friday at Lyfe Kitchen. Fellow singer Estelle hung...Read more
The Art Institute of Chicago stayed open later than usual Tuesday for an extra special guest and nine of her friends.
Pop star Katy Perry and her entourage took an after-hours tour of the Art Institute for about an hour and a half, according to an Art Institute spokeswoman. Perry -- who had the day off from her Prismatic world tour and is scheduled to perform Wednesday in Columbus -- posted several photos from her Art Institute visit on her Instagram account.
"GO SEE THE MAGRITTE EXHIBIT @artinstitutechi," Perry wrote on Instagram. "It will blow your conventional mind & wake you up from your zombie state!"
In addition to the exhibit featuring work from Belgian artist René Magritte, Perry took a selfie with Grant Wood's famous American Gothic painting – or as Perry referred to them, "the original goths."
The most followed personality on Twitter has also reportedly checked out the Mütter museum in Philadelphia, the Salem Witch Museum in Salem, Mass. and the British Museum in London while...Read more

Inquest finds boy's death after Gwynedd zipwire fall was accidental
A coroner has made a number of similar accidents after an 11-year-old boy fell to his death from a zipwire in Gwynedd two years ago.
An inquest jury in Dolgellau concluded that Bailey Sumner's death was an accident.
He died after falling from the SwampFlyer ride at Greenwood Forest Park in 2011.
Lorna Prichard reports.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
A strong cold front is approaching Arizona, bringing with it cold air, gusty winds and showers.
Winds will start to pick up. Maricopa County is under a wind advisory from 2 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday. Winds could gust in some spots up to 40 mph. The strong crosswinds and locally reduced visibilities due to blowing dust could cause hazardous travel conditions.
Cold air will filter across the state. Highs in the Valley Wednesday will only reach into the mid 50s, about 15 degrees below average for this time of year.
Snow should start to fall across Northern Arizona late Tuesday night. A winter storm warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for Flagstaff beginning at midnight and lasting through Wednesday until 8 p.m.
Snow accumulations will be impressive. In the highest elevations, about 6,000 feet, up to 10 inches of snow is expected. In Flagstaff, several inches of snow will fall start early Wednesday morning.
Parts of the Mogollon Rim could see 15 to 20 inches of snow. Most of the snow will fall in the morning hours.
Snow will also fall in Southeast Arizona. Snow level will be dropping to around 2,500 feet. About 1 to 2 inches are expected and up to 17 inches could fall in the highest elevations.
Rain showers will start to develop early Wednesday morning. Showers will be heaviest during the morning commute, beginning around 7 a.m. The Valley could get up to 3/4" of rain before the cold front moves east.
There could be a few wet snowflakes over the high terrain of the north Valley and convective showers early in the afternoon Wednesday could result in graupel, or soft hail, due to the low freezing level.
Showers will start to taper off Wednesday afternoon.
Bundle up! Highs in the Valley Wednesday and Thursday will only be in the mid 50s.
Skies will clear a bit Thursday but a couple of weak disturbances could bring a few showers for the end of the work week.

High Adventure Training
Philmont and Northern Tier require Wilderness First Aid certification in each crew. The American Red Cross has offered a course for this certification for a few years, developed by an ARC chapter in North Carolina. This spring, an entirely new, national ARC course titled
Wilderness and Remote First Aid
takes its place.
This new course has been developed in cooperation with the BSA and is based on our
Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines
- I bet you didn't know we had that, huh?
There's a flyer about the course
It's 16 hours, like the previous course, but it should be less expensive, have more hands-on, and use consistent ARC materials. A few key differences about this new training:
certification is 2 years instead of 3
Current Adult CPR certification is a prerequisite
Altitude Illnesses are included
This training is not JUST for Philmont and Northern Tier - every troop and pack should have people prepared to handle emergencies wherever they are. If it will take more than 20-30 minutes for an ambulance to reach you, these skills can be life-saving.
I'm really looking forward to presenting this new training to help keep Scouting safe!

Thwarted Good Deed
Driving to church with the family this morning with an uncharacteristic amount of extra time to get there.
A couple blocks ahead, in the right turn lane onto the freeway from the 4-lane road we are on, there's an SUV sitting there with its emergency blinkers going, blocking access to the freeway.
I say, "Hey, should we see if they need help?" (with my hopes high of maybe getting to do a real good turn today).
Both wife and son say, "Sure!", so I pull up beside them on their left and ask my wife to roll down her window so we can ask what we can do. I notice there are two carseats with children in them in the back seat.
Just as we get beside the driver's window, he pulls forward and makes the right turn onto the freeway and off he goes - and the driver still talking on his cellphone!
I had to say a couple extra prayers of forgiveness for some of the thoughts I had toward the guy. :-) I guess he didn't have his

2010 Advancement Aids
I'm not really an advocate of pushing fast advancement on new scouts, but it's important to have opportunities for advancement available so those that participate are not held back from moving ahead. Not much worse than a scout not getting to forge ahead when he's chomping at the bit.
To help the Troop Guides and Instructors, there are a few documents and aids available. These aids give a structure to the advancement program and provide guidance to the scouts leading the new guys.
New Scout Schedule
has been updated with 2010 requirements.
Advancement Tracking Sheet
has been updated also.

New Troop Guide guide
I've just finished updating the program guide our troop's Troop Guides use to help new scouts reach First Class. I added Leave No Trace and Water Safety, as well as an emphasis on EDGE. I also updated for the 2010 requirement changes.
With a big swarm of scouts joining this month, the Troop Guides have a big job ahead of them. Scouts in our troop don't typically reach First Class on the schedule presented in this guide, but it provides some structure for the Troop Guides to use for success.
You can
download Troop Guide PDF
if it might help your troop.

Fire-free Eagles
While redoing our Troop Guide guide with the 2010 advancement requirements, I noticed the Second Class cooking requirement (3g) no longer says "over an open fire". The Second Class rank does have a requirement (3f) to build a fire, but the fire does not need to be actually lit.
With those changes, it appears there can be an Eagle Scout that has never started a single fire. None of the rank advancements or eagle-required merit badges require that a fire be lit.
I understand the changes are because of fire bans in arid states, but somebody tell me I'm missing it someplace.

Scout Sunday
Tomorrow is Scout Sunday - the first Sunday before February 8. This is a great opportunity to recognize the 'reverent' point of scouting. Our troop is serving at the church where we've met for the past 12 years. Scouts won't have any role in the service but will be helping with refreshments, coffee, and such after the service.
If you need any last minute ideas for the Scout Sunday that you were asked to participate in and waited until the last minute to prepare, check out
scouting.org page
for ideas.
This Scout Sunday will be our last at this location. As our troop has steadily grown, we've run out of room here and are moving to a new location on March 1.

Le Mystère T-Shirt Underwire Bra 105 105
Superb Fit! I first purchased this bra over two years ago when I was a heavier size (38C) and was very pleased with the amount of lift and support. The placement of the straps is perfect for my wider shoulders. Now, a bit more fit, I'm a 38B and so reordered two of these bras in my new size. Again, perfect fit. I really appreciate the smooth appearance under any type of fabric, even more sheer t-shirts in the summer. Straps lay flat and cups stay perfectly molded even after many washings. I machine wash with the rest of the laundry, but hang the bra to air dry. July 5, 2014
Le Mystere bras fan I personally like Dream Tisha (full fit) more than Tisha, but it is still fine, I just went up one cup size (from D to DD, exchange went smooth with GH). Both fit perfectly, preventing forming a uniboob, like some other bras do. Dream Tisha has 3 hooks in the back, this one has just two. Color nude is kind of yellowish, natural is a better shade. Good value on sale. June 17, 2014
Not comfy It looked so comfortable but it was not for me. Stiff and pokey April 15, 2014
Worn this bra for years I purchased my first one 8 years ago and I now continue to order them on line knowing they are a good fit. March 30, 2014
Wanted to love this bra! This bra gets big points for perfect fit - no gaps, fits like a glove. Unfortunately, the part in between where the under wire meets at your breast bone dug into my chest and actually gave me a bruise. I wanted to like this bra so much, so I wore it all day (hoping it would "relax" a little). Nope, very painful. February 16, 2014
My favorite bra! I own 4 of them so far in natural and black colors and want to use only this bra. I am 36C and it fits true to size. So very comfortable, great support, but the best thing is that I do not feel like I am wearing a bra at all. Great product. November 19, 2013

Westview Orchards Cider Mill – Washington Twp – Review and Pics
Westview Orchards and Cider Mill is located in Washington Twp near Romeo, Michigan on Van Dyke.
Westview Orchards and Cider Mill touts "A Full Day of Country Fun" and it's easy to see why. The Westview Cider Mill grounds are clean, expansive and the landscape is dotted with sites and activities for young and old.
The cider mill itself is open from 10a-5p daily from Labor Day through Halloween but the Farm Market is open from July through X-Mas eve. Westview Cider Mill offers seasonal U-pick cherries (sweet and tart), Freestone peaches, apples and pumpkins. The Westview Cider Mill farm itself includes those but goes even further by offering sweet corn, plums, Bosc Pears, Bartlett Pears, squash and pumpkin pie in their Farm Market. The market also offers donuts, pies, jams, salsas, veggies, gift baskets and more. Westview Cider Mill Bakery is open on weekends only in the Fall and has, in addition to the Market, cream cheese logs, fruit breads and their signature Fruit Flip. Westview offers The Orchard Cafe and Grill at Westview Cider Mill featuring an expanded menu!
Westview Cider Mill's entertainment is vast, educational and skews toward a younger demographic. Perks and activities include: 2 petting barns, Kidz Korner Playground (3 acres), Wagon Rides, a 40 foot "Apple Drop" slide, live family shows, a giant corn maze and more! They even offer a Mom and Tot's Time for little ones. They offer school and group tours in Spring, Summer and Fall by reservation. One notable and probably underrated facet to the Westview Cider Mill experience is the modern and impeccably clean restroom facilities located in the middle of the grounds. No porto-johns is a relief to anyone with kids!
Lastly, in addition to the Westview Cider Mill and farm eats, Westview has an ice-cream parlor/sweetshop located in an old-fashioned 1-room school house. The menu is huge and features 32 flavors of Michigan-made ice cream. Tell the kids not to forget to wear their team uniform for discounts.

Decision due on care home closures
A decision is due to be made today on whether four care homes in Hampshire will remain open. Up to 100 elderly people - some with dementia -will need to be re-homed if the sites in Petersfield, Basingstoke, Romsey and Lyndhurst are shut.
The county council says it would cost too much to bring them up to modern standards.

The First Quarter in Third Grade
Third Grade is filled with an exciting curriculum! Take a look at what we'll be doing this quarter:
3.1 The student will read and write six-digit numerals and identify the place value and value of each digit; round whole numbers, 9,999 or less, to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand; and compare two whole numbers between 0 and 9,999, using symbols (>, <, or = ) and words (greater than, less than, or equal to).
3.2 The student will recognize and use the inverse relationships between addition/subtraction to complete basic fact sentences. The student will use these relationships to solve problems.
3.4 The student will estimate solutions to and solve single-step and multistep problems involving the sum or difference of two whole numbers, each 9,999 or less, with or without regrouping.
3.20 The student will investigate the identity and the commutative properties for addition; and identify examples of the identity and commutative properties for addition.
Social Studies
3.5 The student will develop map skills by positioning and labeling the seven continents and five oceans to create a world map; using the equator and prime meridian to identify the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres; and locating specific places, using a simple letter-number grid system.
3.6 The student will read and construct maps, tables, graphs, and/or charts.
3.8 The student will recognize that because people and regions cannot produce everything they want, they specialize in what they do best and trade for the rest.
3.9 The student will identify examples of making an economic choice and will explain the idea of opportunity cost (what is given up when making a choice).
3.1 The student will demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning,
logic, and the nature of science by planning and conducting
investigations in which observations are made and are repeated to
ensure accuracy; predictions are formulated using a variety of sources
of information;
data are gathered, charted, graphed, and analyzed;
3.7 The student will investigate and understand the major components of
soil, its origin, and its importance to plants and animals including
humans. Key concepts include soil provides the support and nutrient
necessary for plant growth; topsoil is a natural product of subsoil and
bedrock; rock, clay, silt, sand, and humus are components of soils;
and soil is a natural resource and should be conserved.

Under different circumstances, the campsite along the Petaluma River banks would look fairly inviting.
A barbecue grill stands near a large tent, both under the shady canopy of a huge live oak tree. Plastic bins contain food and other supplies. Dog treats sit on a table. A large open barrel holds brooms to keep the walkways tidy.
But the site is illegal, a homeless encampment whose residents are trespassing on someone else's property. And just over a wall of blackberry brambles lie two large piles of trash, papers, discarded food containers and dirty clothes.
Petaluma Homeless Camps
It's a hard life, whether by choice or by circumstance.
Three transients have died in Petaluma within the past month, prompting concerns from police and social service agencies about what, if anything, can be done.
The most recent death appears to be a suicide. The body of a 25-year-old man was found Wednesday afternoon under the D Street bridge.
Police Lt. Tim Lyons declined to release the apparent cause of death until the man's family can be notified. The man was known to police as a local who lived on the streets. Another homeless person found his body and alerted police.
The two other deaths — the skeletal remains of a woman found on McNear Peninsula on Aug. 16 and the body of a man found in Willow Brook Creek on the north end of town — don't appear to involve foul play or violence, Lyons said. Neither person has been identified yet.
"There is nothing suspicious about any of the deaths and there is no evidence to show they are in any way linked or knew each other in any way," he said.
"The only theme is that they were all transients."
The two earlier deaths could be natural causes, medical problems or simple old age, Lyons said.
While the three deaths so close in time may seem unusual, Mike Johnson of Petaluma's Committee on the Shelterless said it is all too common.

My wife and I met a friend and his wife at the Dodger Dugout Club. It was a surprise. I was not privy that we would be sitting in this section. It was a very mind-blowing experience. The food was free. I ate too much. Men were carving meat. Sausages were grilled to perfection. Their respective casings popped and juices leaked to perfection. There was free wine tasting and free Dodger Dogs. I half expected the venerable Farmer John himself, in the flesh, to be packing the innards and grilling by hand. He was not. But there was free candy and soda. And beef pho and pulled pork sandwiches. I thought about vomiting in an attempt to take further advantage, but I didn't feel the need to engage in such barbarism.
The entire scene looked and felt like some clueless banquet of excess. The revelers seemed to be oblivious to the fact that the empire was crumbling. I really hoped to run into Frank McCourt. My intention was to follow him into the bathroom and pull a Hunter S. I wanted to get my own urinal interview of a fallen (falling) man. I knew I wouldn't have the guts, so I'm glad he didn't show. We were three rows back. There were other fallen men I could have said something to. Vernon Wells always seemed to be in good spirits. Before every at bat he would spit his gum and hit it with his bat. He hit the first base umpire with the gum his third time up to bat. He looked like he was having fun. We were. We were full. Sitting so close to the field changes things a little. For better or worse, it blurs perspective.

PEORIA, Ill. -- A local student has received national recognition for artwork she did in class.
Carly Coyle is a Senior at Peoria Notre Dame High School.
Earlier in the year she produced a print of her and her brother.
Carly's art teacher, Maggie Off, suggested she enter it into the Scholastic Art and Writing competition.
She took second place and will soon head to New York City to receive her Silver Key, and have her print displayed at Carnegie Hall.
Carly says this whole experience has been shocking.
"Honestly this was my first art competition that I've ever been in and for it to go this far and hen go onto nationals was amazing. I was blown away," she said.
Carly will be head to New York at the end of May.
She says thanks to this experience she is now thinking about studying art in college.

One thing is for sure, and that's that Age of Ultron, the last Marvel Comics event, definitely had a major and lasting impact. It dealt with time and dimensional travel, it brought Galactus to the Ultimate universe, it brought Angela to the Marvel universe, and its waves are still being felt.
Now, just two months after that event comic ended, a new one begins at Marvel, as Infinity pulls together everything Jonathan Hickman has built so far in his dual Avengers titles since the Marvel NOW! relaunch.
That seems, then, the perfect opportunity for us to look at the 10 Marvel crossover events that had the most impact on the Marvel Universe at the time (although some didn't last), as we wait for the ramifications of the latest one.
Early on in The Infinity Gauntlet, it seemed as if it would be the proverbial series that would change everything – half of humanity was dead! Natural disasters had altered the very world our characters lived in! – but everything was reset by series' end, with the only lasting effects that which meant that a new Warlock series could be spun out of the whole shebang. A masterclass in the whole "No change, just the illusion of change" thing.
A spiritual follow-up, Infinity promises more lasting change - while Thanos and the gems are still a part of the story, we already know the Inhumans will have major fallout due to the events of the newest event.
2011's massive event series featured developments that certainly felt big at the time, and by the final issue of the series, Bucky Cap and Thor were still dead, and Paris was a city of stone statues instead of people.
And then came the three epilogue issues that, one by one, undid each of those things. Cleaning up after itself or a statement on the impermanence of death in superhero comics? Potentially both (Fraction told Newsarama at the time, "Death in superhero comics is meaningless. It's the escape. It's the resurrection. That's the story. These issues were kind of the chance to focus on that under the microscope, once all the pyrotechnics were done."), but Fear Itself's very visible use of the reset button was something that made the idea of a crossover event that changes everything forever that little bit harder to take.
It's tempting to suggest that ending the then-long-running thread of "Who Do You Trust?" and "Maybe one of these characters is an alien shapeshifter" is enough to make the end of Secret Invasion an important event in and of itself.
In terms of narrative, though, the series moved Tony Stark away from the position of power that he'd been in for months, and placed everything in the hands of Norman Osborn, heralding a period where the bad guys really had won... Well, at least until they started messing everything up for themselves.
This is a tough one, because it wasn't the end of Secret Wars that changed everything, but the start – but that's what you get when the entire series is essentially a twelve-part flashback to explain away the changes already seen in everyone's regular book.
But still: She-Hulk in the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man's black costume that would later turn out to be Venom are two changes that may not have stuck forever, but ended up becoming surprisingly welcome additions to the canon. (Look at Marvel's current slate: She-Hulk is in FF, and there's a Venom ongoing series.) Less so, that giant dragon girlfriend for Lockheed, of course. And the less said about "Rocky Grimm, Space Ranger," the better...
Unusually, Schism was an event book that existed for the sole purpose of the end result: Splitting the X-Men franchise in two. And yet it worked, and in the process refreshed the franchise in a way that nothing else had managed since the days of Grant Morrison.
It wasn't just the clash of ideologies that surprisingly came to life, but the characters presenting those ideologies. "Wolverine as Teacher" made perfect sense, even as it seemed counter-intuitive, a sign that something has gone right.
The separation between teams was compounded by our next item, and it's telling that not only are there multiple successful ongoing books for each side, but this separation was referenced in Infinity #1.
Aside from the death of Charles Xavier – like we've never seen that before – and the criminalization of the "Phoenix Five," what exactly did AVX achieve for the larger MU?
Well, in theory it ushered in an era where the X-Men and cosmic characters were brought further into the wider Marvel Universe, which is something that may end up being a quieter, but more meaningful change to Marvel than we normally see from these event books.
Oh yeah, it also happened to (mostly) reverse the lasting consequences of our next item on the countdown.
"No More Mutants." With those three words, the Scarlet Witch upended the X-Men franchise in a seemingly out-of-nowhere denouement to the alternate world series, reducing the mutant population of the Marvel Universe to less than 200 and beginning a near-decade long race against extinction that finally came to an end with Avengers Vs. X-Men.
Mutant Massacre wasn't an event crossover in the way that we understand them today – where was the core miniseries? Why no "Mutant Massacre" banner on the covers of the tie-ins? – but it certainly had the kind of impact that something like, say, Maximum Security could only dream of, marking the end of the X-Men's stay at the Xavier's school for close to 100 issues, the deaths of a handful of familiar faces, new members of teams, the end of Warren Worthington as the Angel and a more somber tone for a franchise already known for its dourness.
Hey, remember that time when a crossover ended with the Marvel Universe devoid of some of its most famous characters? Now, we can look back and say that the absence of the Fantastic Four, Avengers and their respective members was only a temporary thing, but at the time that was far from a known fact, meaning that the Onslaught Saga genuinely did have that feeling of having changed everything in real ways, possibly forever. If only there had been an Internet back then*, it would've broken in half!
(* I know that there actually was. I am old.)
Onslaught has made a couple of comebacks, most recently as an altered combination of characters in the pages of Uncanny Avengers.
Oh, Civil War, how you changed the Marvel Universe! There was that whole "You work for the government or you're a criminal" thing, that whole "Now no one gets on with anyone else" thing, the skillful creation of a second Avengers book for the first time since West Coast Avengers, but more importantly, it changed the Marvel Universe by changing the Marvel Universe.
Even though House of M's decimation of mutantkind came earlier, it was Civil War that felt as if it actually changed the tone and content of all of Marvel's line for months afterwards, setting the pattern for events that followed. If Infinity's fallout can feel half as important, then they're likely onto a good thing.

Really cool historic building with gorgeous views and great common areas. I did not appreciate the thong and dirty sock I found in the dresser drawer from the previous guest, however. That and the broken box spring detracted from the charm of the large and well-equipped room. With a bit more attention to upkeep and some higher quality room furnishings, this place could potentially be considered a resort.

When travelling to Jaipur by road, one has to go via Gurgaon, the hub of the expat community of Delhi. Along the highway, one comes across a series of luxury and business hotels and while the area is teeming with well-known restaurants, I feel drawn to the Courtyard by Marriott. It is a business enclave and is designed to provide the frills and amenities that only an American chain can offer. Though I am usually doubtful about the quality of service in Delhi and its environs, it is a pleasant surprise to experience a meal at the Red Zen restaurant in the hotel.
The restaurant
For those not in the know, Red Zen is the restaurant that serves South East Asian cuisine. The restaurant is a mainstay of many Courtyard by Marriott properties across the country. It is so designed to give travellers a sense of comfort and familiarity and the comfort that South East Asian food brings to a well-heeled and extensively travelled clientele is only too familiar to all of us. South East Asian food not only transcends cultures but, as a cuisine, is easily adaptable to a range of palates since minor modifications do not disturb its impeccable balance of flavours. The balance of lemon, lime leaves, galangal, chillies, pure coconut milk and authentic sauces give the dishes a roundness that is endearing to the Indian palate.
Along one side of the Red Zen restaurant is an open kitchen where guests can sit at the counter and watch Chef Piyawat Chatchavanhans and his team whip up magic. Or if you like to enjoy your food with great conversation with your loved ones, there is comfortable seating all across the restaurant. Chef Piyawat has a strong foundation in Thai cuisine and it's nice to see him in action, as he first swirls the oil in the wok, then adds the spices, followed by meat or vegetables and finally the rice and noodles, with just a dash of soy at the end. It's even better to see the Chef take a break to stroll around the restaurant greeting diners with a warm smile and personally taking care to see that they are enjoying their meal.
The menu
The new menu has been toned down to cuisines from just three countries, namely, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam, making it easier for the chefs to ladle out a more sumptuous meal. I wouldn't propose that one ask the waiter for suggestions, but rather go through the menu with an adventurous mind and delve into it by moving beyond the usual sushi, dimsums and wontons.
The new menu has several exciting offerings like the Peking duck wrapped in a tiny pancake with cucumber and plum sauce, pot stickers (steamed dumplings that stick to the pot when fried) and Thai spring rolls called Kaophod which are made with glass noodles. Our meal began on a high note with exotic dishes like crispy lotus stem that was finely shaved and cooked in a medley of spices and honey and delicious Kong Hom Pha of deep fried prawns with a plum sauce.
Also on offer is the usual range of soups like miso and laksa (the spicy Malaysian dish) along with some interesting new additions. While the Japanese Udon Noodle soup with Ebi Tempura, spring onion and seaweed sounded tempting, I tasted the Vietnamese Pho, a mix of rice noodles with vegetables, topped with tenderloin, which did complete justice to the Pot cooking style. There is something very intriguing about Pot cooking… it's an adventure in itself. You delve into a pot which contains everything you could imagine and as you search for your favourite vegetable or protein - be it the thin slices of meat or fish – all rightly cooked with soupy broth (clear broth or coconut based). You come across hints of chilli, lemongrass and tamarind which just blow you away. Coming back to the Vietnamese Pho, the hot liquid whets your appetite but the large portion tends to fill you up.
For the main course, while the menu features usual favourites like Chilli Lamb, Phad Thai and Singapore noodles, I suggest the fresh new features like fried red snapper with black bean sauce (or, for vegetarians, Lacchew Beans - stir-fried string beans with black bean sauce) and the Sam Rod, which is fish with a beautifully balanced sweet and sour sauce, served with steamed Jasmine Rice. And though the menu states the fish is deep-fried, it is also available in a healthier, grilled version. The Sichuan Chow Fun, traditional flat noodles wok fried with vegetables is also very refreshing.
Coming to the end of the meal, I was tempted to try a dessert from the selection of jasmine flavoured bean pudding, coconut poached banana and deep fried ice cream. I eventually settled on Rambuttans ice cream and green tea ice cream. The ice creams are made in-house. The Rambuttan ice cream was delicious but the green tea ice cream was too strong, with the Macha leaving a strong, slightly bitter hint on the palate. If toned down however, it can prove to be the highlight of the dessert menu.

Where: Red Zen, Courtyard by Marriot Gurgaon

There are artists who are known for being shy and reclusive — for producing their best work while holed up in their room, or in a cabin in the woods, or on a solo bender.
And then there are those who feed off the energy of an audience. The magic of a live performance is in the interaction, right? In the knowing that, though you're just a face in a crowd at a venue like thousands of others across the country, the experience you're having with a musician live on stage is unique to that evening; whether it's a drum coming in a millisecond later than it did the previous night or banter that changes based on what the band drank backstage.

A couple of years ago, on a warm summer evening in the city of Blue Lake, California, I stopped by my friend's house after work. A man with a curly mop of hair was sitting in the front yard with his toes in the grass, strumming an acoustic guitar.
This isn't unusual in Blue Lake. The unincorporated town hides among the Humboldt County redwoods and always seems to attract a steady flow of tone-deaf vagabonds. But it turned out the man was not at all tone-deaf and only partially transient. It turned out the guy on my friend's lawn was David Kilgour of the New Zealand indie rock band The Clean. Read more »
If you've ever walked out of a dance party wishing you could take the party home with you, Push The Feeling has a solution to your problem. For the last two years, Kevin Meenan and Drew Marcogliese have hosted dance parties at the Lower Haight's Underground SF nightclub under that name; they've hosted all manner of DJs, from local heroes like Giraffage to blogosphere faves like YACHT and Les Sins (aka Toro Y Moi).Read more »
"I think I've heard of them before," is the kind of spineless response you'll never hear if you ask someone about Fuck Buttons. If you've heard them, you'll most definitely will remember. With music that elicits feelings of wonder and rebellion, intense live shows, and of course an, err -- catchy name, Benjamin John Power and Andrew Hung leave a lasting impression.Read more »
Upon first listen, Sylvan Esso kind of takes hold of you. Nick Sanborn's melodic, layered, driving electronic beats pair perfectly with Amelia Meath's blissful voice and artful lyrics. The way Sylvan Esso — the band's self-titled debut album, which dropped May 13 — is wrapped together feels so intuitive, so ethereal, that it will likely bring you to your feet for an impromptu dance session.Read more »
For nearly four decades now, legendary British rockers The Damned have been haunting stages around the world with their brand of gothic-inspired punk.

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger is out to topple everyone's expectations.

Kitten Grenade takes the ukulele seriously. Katelyn Sullivan picked up the instrument when she was lonely and unhappy in Los Angeles, jonesing to be back in San Francisco.

Three decades after its initial release, New Order's Power, Corruption, & Lies (1982) might sound deceptively ordinary. From the early '90s successes of Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses, to more recent outfits like LCD Soundsystem and Cut Copy, it's easy to take for granted just how completely the Manchester band's hybrid of guitar rock and sequenced dance music has permeated the modern musical landscape. Yet, as bassist and co-songwriter Peter Hook would have you believe, that fateful LP was the moment that started it all.
"New Order [was] one of the first rock bands that used dance elements, and now everybody does it," Hook tells the Bay Guardian over the phone from a hotel room in Vancouver.
In continuation of a recent tour that featured song-for-song replications of both Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980) by Hook's previous band, the equally revelatory post-punk outfit Joy Division, his current ensemble, Peter Hook & the Light, is set to grace the Mezzanine stage on Fri/27 with front-to-back covers of New Order's first two LPs, 1981's Movement, and of course, Power, Corruption, & Lies.

The band Negative Standards is essentially a crust art project.
While maintaining d-beat chords and sludge-like breakdowns, the Oakland-based group makes use of non-instrumental noise and videos created by the band's bassist, Will, during shows.
And as a quartet that blends elements of crust, doom metal, and noise; Negative Standards sticks out like a sore thumb in the endless sea of fellow crusty brethren and fuzzy lo-fi that exists in the East Bay. Read more »

Andy had better pander to that fan base, given his position in with Philly.
Andy Reid,......... "At times I wasn't sure who had more fans"
Morgan, you need to start cheering louder. Maybe sit next to Hate and Chace next game so you guys can get some cheers going.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
BTW, cancelled season tickets for next season. Games aren't fun to attend anymore like they were in the Sombrero.
Hope so - might get more than one or two home games televised if someone went to games. Done my part (40 games in the last 4 seasons).

As rumors of power-hungry infighting dog the IZOD IndyCar Series only days after a stellar Indianapolis 500, fans take a page from the legendary Dan Gurney and voice their advice for the sport's...
Should 47-year-old Jean Alesi have a chance to qualify at Indianapolis? The answer is definitely yes.
The Indy 500 has always meant many things to many people, but its meaning needs to be updated for the modern sports fan.
If America loves the new and unexpected, it may be time to bring it back to the nation's most storied motorsports tradition - the Indianapolis 500.
With only one opportunity a year to tell IndyCar's story to a wide audience, IndyCar and its broadcast partners should do their best to make that story meaningful.
There's a rumor that INDYCAR might stage a second race at the famed Brickyard on the track's road course. Even New Coke wasn't this bad of an idea.
The past decade-plus at Indianapolis has felt like the energy has been slowly draining from the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. This year, the energy is back.
In this week's Media Roundup, we take a quick break from the 24/7 Bruins coverage to spend a few minutes on a sporting event that nationally has become identified with Memorial Day Weekend -- the Indianapolis 500.
One of the more surprising developments of Pole Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the lack of speed from Andretti Autosport - leading to a sleepless night as Bump Day looms.
On the eve of Pole Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, drama ensued over Scott Speed and Dragon Racing and whether they would qualify together or go their separate ways.

SB Nation's 2011 NFL mock draft moves to the 52nd pick and the New York Giants, represented by Big Blue View, has decided to go with offense and select a golden domer in TE Kyle Rudolph.
Here's what Big Blue View said about the pick:
A classic case of value meeting need. Starting tight end Kevin Boss can be a free agent, and he is not a true impact player, anyway. Backup Travis Beckum is an H-Back. Bear Pascoe is likely moving to fullback. Rudolph is the best tight end in this class, a first-round value in the eyes of many who is found sitting here at No. 52. This is a pick I'm happy to have the opportunity to make. It does not address the Giants' need at linebacker, but Rudolph is the best player on the board and adds another weapon for Eli Manning.
I'm getting this feeling that Rudolph is going to be hell of a player in the NFL. I really like this pick, especially as it helps your quarterback. Good pick here.
For the full explanation of the pick, check out Mocking The Draft.
