Husband Arrested for Stabbing Sioux Falls Woman, Nephew in Domestic Dispute
Police say two people were treated for knife wounds after an incident Monday evening in the 1400 block of North Main Avenue in Sioux Falls.
Officer Sam Clemens says police were called twice around 7:00 p.m., and when officers arrived they found a 30-year-old woman with two stab wounds to her arm, and her 24-year-old nephew with a stab wound to his shoulder.
Clemens says the woman told police her husband was responsible for the injuries.
"She gave information about her husband and officers were able to find him. There is a ravine behind their home by some railroad tracks a little bit west of Falls Park in that general area," explained Clemens. "We had a couple officers that found him. Once they had taken him into custody he ended up spitting in the face of a different officer as he was being placed in his patrol car."
Clemens says 41-year-old Ricardo Reyes, who was intoxicated, was charged with aggravated assault-domestic, aggravated assault, sliming, resisting arrest and interference with emergency communications.
The woman and her nephew were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
He says the nephew was injured when he tried to break up the fight between Reyes and his wife, and the woman was not sure when she was stabbed, although she also had a black eye and other abrasions.

Nobody seems to be checking the figures on the department's sad-sweet story
By David Looman
OPINION The senior staffers at the Recreation and Park Department routinely cry that the department is poor and going broke. Is it possible they are lying?
Conspicuously lacking in discussions of Rec-Park funding is any kind of hard data about how well or poorly San Francisco Rec-Park is really funded. Whether it's the mainstream media, the alternative press, or our elected representatives on the Board of Supervisors, nobody seems to know how our park system compares with other park systems in California or the U.S.
And nobody seems to want to check up on Rec-Park's sad-sweet story.
This lack of real information is particularly surprising, since the data is readily available. Every year, the Trust for Public Land, a well-respected, San Francisco-based park advocacy organization, conducts a meticulous and comprehensive survey of how well recreation and park systems across the country are being funded. The survey is always available on the Web, at www.tpl.org.
In the TPL's 2000 book, Inside City Parks, by Peter Harnik, San Francisco was among the three best-funded systems, measured either per acre or per resident. In every annual survey after that, San Francisco continued to rank in the top three, until 2006. In 2006, the TPL found San Francisco to be the best-funded park system in America.
That's right, the best-funded department in the entire U.S.!
This year's survey, based on the 2008 figures, has changed its methodology a bit, and expenditures are no longer calculated per acre. With the new methodology, San Francisco has slipped a bit. The city is now only the fourth-best funded park system in the country for cities with populations larger than 500,000, and the sixth best for cities over 250,000.
For operating expenditures (total budget minus capital spending) San Francisco is the fourth best funded among all cities. We don't have as many capital expenditures as, say, Seattle, whose newer park system is still growing.
The question of where that money goes is another matter. I think I can offer a few suggestions about what happens.
Problem number one is the long and glorious history of absolutely incompetent management, particularly in the last 15 years, under the administrations of mayors Willie Brown and Gavin Newsom. Second is that longstanding Rec-Park Department practice of ignoring and rejecting any public input, including factual input, from people who actually use and know the parks. This has led to a number of costly mistakes.
The department has more ethically dubious faults too—the wages spent organizing so-called "public support" for some of its unpopular projects; more wages spent having employees testify about what a great job the department is doing, etc.
The department presently is trying to privatize everything within reach. Its poor-mouth rational for doing so is false. It's time we all faced the fact that Rec-Park isn't giving us the whole truth.
David Looman is a longtime San Francisco political consultant and parks user.
Wow. Thank you
great piece! finally the SFBG is covering this important issue. It's all smoke and mirrors with Rec Park Director Phil Ginsburg!
How refreshing. Thanks for a well written article.
Thanks for your honest reporting. No one wants to talk about how RPD plans to privatize our parks but everybody knows it. Double appreciation for your article.
Actions speak louder than words. They must have all the money they need >>>in fact too much! The Park Department pushed for a new vendor at Stow Lake who only offered a minimum rent of $160,000/year and 10% of gross food sales where as the long term operator offered a minimum rent of $215,000/year and 27% of gross food sales.
Both bidders agreed to refurbush the exterior of the boathouse so exterior dollar capital improvements would have been the same. As the Stow Lake Corporation offered a 70% larger fleet of new boats, the final total capital investment by both parties would have been quite similar. So, with Ortega the City gets a Cafe, a scaled down boat rental venue and significantly less rent.
Summary...San Francisco taxpayers are getting screwed and a long time local owned business bites the dust in favor of a New Mexico company that specilizes in food service. San Francisco has thousands of cafes but only one recreational boat rental venue for families. It just does not compute. 20 years is a long time to live with this sweet-heart lease.
Further evidence the Recreation and Park department does not have any focus on or need for funds is that in the selection process for the Stow Lake Concession, NO consideration was given during the bid evaluation process to the rent offered by the interested bidders. The evaluaters were instructed to give zero points for offered rent revenue! It would be interesting to know how many decision makers (Mgmt staff and Park Commissioners) at McLaren Lodge live in San Francisco and pay taxes in S.F.?
The whole concession award process by the Recreation and Park Department is ripe for a full investigation by the Civil Gand Jury
Great piece Mr. Looman. There's a LOT at R&P that doesn't make any sense. For example, in 2008, SF voters passed an "improve the parks" bond that raised $130 million for R&P.
When the voters went to vote on that, they didn't read anything about replacing the grass in SF parks with artificial turf because the bond measure never said anything about that.
A year or two before, (the late) rightwing Republican billionaire (and founder of The Gap) Donald Fisher and his three sons had set up the City Fields Foundation (CFF).
What was really strange was that as soon as the 2008 "improve the parks" bond passed, Fisher's CFF was working closely with R&P to replace the grass in all the playgrounds in SF with artificial turf even though, like I said, the bond didn't call for this. It's not right to deceive voters like R&P did in that 2008 vote.
And why did all of sudden a notorious rightwing Republican billionaire get all this influence with an important SF govt agency???
And why did R&P start replacing the grass with artificial turf - at Fisher's request apparently and who paid for the artificial turf (but not the installation) - when the bond said nothing about this???
Ginsburg's R&P has been handing out some multi-million dollar contracts to construction companies to replace the grass with artificial turf. For example, for the Kimbell playground at the southwest corner of Steiner & Geary, a firm got a $2 million contract to replace the grass with artificial turf. The one who got the contract to do Crocker Amazon must have received a significantly higher paying contract.
Ginsburg's R&P wants to replace 7 acres of grass in the west end of Golden Gate Park (the large grassy area where the Beach Chalet soccer fields are) with artificial turf. He also wants to place around the perimeter of this 7 acre area, 60 foot poles with each one containing lights that will put extremely bright lights more app for the Giants' AT&T Park than GG Park.
R&P wants to give $12 million to the construction company that wants that job (this from an agency constantly saying they have no money).
These lights would be on until 10 or 11 pm every night and thus would completely change the nature of Golden Gate Park. This idiocy by Ginsburg completely violates the Golden Gate Park Master Plan that took was completed in 1998 after 10 years of work.
The GGP Master Plan is here:
Here's a small sample of many blatant examples of how the Phil Ginsburg - Fisher scheme to replace 7 acres of grass in GG Park with artificial turf surrounded by bright lights on 60 foot poles that light up the park every night until 10 or 11 pm is a complete violation of the GGP Master Plan:
On pg 3-9 of the link below (in the first column) it says:
POLICY A - PRESERVE THE DESIGN INTEGRITY OF GOLDEN GATE PARK. The original design intent shall be preserved.
1. All activities, features and facilities in Golden Gate Park should respect the unique design and character of the park.
2. The major design feature of Golden Gate Park and the framework within which all park activities occur is its pastoral and sylvan landscape. The integrity of the pastoral and sylvan landscape must be maintained and remain unaltered.
6. No changes or alterations to any park feature should occur without consideration of the parkwide effects.
On pg 3-11 (third column) of the link below, it says:
The principles of "sustainable landscape" should be applied to management practices, landscape design, plant selection, and irrigation methods.
On pg 3-20 (bottom of 2nd column) of the link below, it says:
Ensure that gifts accepted for placement in Golden Gate Park will contribute to the historic character of the park and are compatible with the park environment.
On pg 3-21 (item 2 in first column) of the link below, it says:
Park lighting should not detract visually or physically from the character of the park.
A fair judge would laugh out loud at this Ginsburg-Fisher scheme to put 7 acres of artificial turf in GG Park with bright lights on 60 foot poles that would be lit until 10 or 11 pm every night ever went to court and tell them they ought to actually read the GGP Master Plan.
This corrupt scheme to ruin GG Park by the late Donald Fisher's family and Phil Ginsburg can still be stopped. Here's the status: R&P was forced to do an EIR. The EIR will be completed very soon (either this month or September).
There's then a 45 day commment period. It then goes to the Planning Commission who will approve it. (Here's the crucial part) It then goes to the SF Board of Supes who can reject it if 6 of the 11 agree to do so. If the Fisher-Ginsburg scheme violates the GGP Master Plan, then the EIR must show it does. As I showed above, it violates the GGP Master Plan repeatedly (and I only gave a small sample, I could have listed many more items).
If the EIR says the Fisher-Ginsburg scheme DOES NOT violate the GGPMP (and that's what it will say), then the EIR should be rejected which is why at least 6 of the 11 supes should reject the EIR. If they reject it, it will probably kill this whole idiotic idea to replace 7 acres of grass in GG Park with artificial turf.
Contact your supervisor (and all the supervisors) and tell them you're against the Fisher-Ginsburg scheme to ruin GG Park. Here's their email addresses and phone numbers:

Finally here's a report on the toxicity of the ground-up tires that the artificial turf is planted in. It's from 2007 and is a chemical analysis of it that was done by the Department of Analytical Chemistry of The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (a Connecticut state govt agency):
Just what we need: 7 acres of toxic ground-up tires to pollute a good chunk of Golden Gate Park!
Ginsburg should be fired and Buell should be forced to resign before they can privatize more of our parks and close the people of San Francisco out of their own public spaces.
Hey Harry, you are partially correct on this one ^_^. The neighborhood of "Russian Hill" in the city are being closed out of our own public spaces in the particular playground called: "Helen Wills" on Broadway & Larkin of 94109. The supervisor for that area (Philip, no Philip Ginsburg), just locked the front gate this evening (Sat. 8/13/11) at 8:45 pm. I just called the park patrol, and the dispatcher told me that all parks in the city are to be closed at 10 pm, NOT 8:15 pm!! To make matters worse, the person who locked the gate, went right back into the clubhouse office to work (or perhaps take it easy) AFTER telling everyone to leave the playground. I think there is a bias on certain age groups using the park (particularly young adults and teenagers). Someone should really do something about the employee in charged of locking the gate.
Mark Buell, married to Esprit founder, Susie Tomkins Buell, is a mega developer who thinks our parks must give way for urban sprawl. Gavin Newsom "gifted" him with the presidency of the Rec & Park Commission in exchange for huge campaign donations to Newsom campaigns. Buell is responsible for the rape of sacred Indian burial grounds in Emeryville to build the Baystreet Mall. Why is he running our Rec & Parks????
Selling our parks to developers for political gain... a crime! Buell, step down now! Baking bread in your Bolinas estate, can't absolve you, or cover your mega developer deeds. The people are watching.
Of course, The San Francisco recreation and park department is rolling in dough. This is all a big con, Phil and his cronies are selling the land so his people can take care of only the rich….That is what some people would like to believe but check the facts using the info provided from the exact source quoted.-The Trust for Public Land. In 2004 SF spent $276 per resident. In 2010 SF spent $192 per resident http://cloud.tpl.org/pubs/ccpe_Spending_Reports_2010.pdf. I am not a math major, but even I can see that is a decrease in funding by almost 40%. After a 40% cut, can anyone operate the same way they had been? Nope. So RPD is trying to do things a little different, and figure different ways to make up for the loss so services aren't cut again and again.
By the way, many of the other cities listed in the top 15 of spending per resident, already do all of the things that RPD is currently accused of – privatization. Seattle contracts out many of its recreation functions: from their website "One key goal in Parks' Strategic Action Plan is to identify opportunities to partner with organizations that can more effectively provide services by leveraging skills and resources." San Jose has just recently reorganized its recreation department to have revenue goals and increased fees pursuant to those goals. New York has "privatized" Central Park. In most cities, Recreation is contracted out, or has to generate revenue to cover its expenditures. In contrast, RPD in SF has the lowest costing children swim lessons in the bay area, a scholarship program that has given out over ½ million in scholarships, and just co-hosted a free children event – Playday on the Green – at the marina green.
San Franciscans has always been generous and understood the value of parks and recreation, but I am not going to throw people under the bus who are trying to keep parks and recreation centers open and viable during these difficult times. A dedicated funding source needs to be found for our parks and recreation centers and get it off the general fund roller coaster, but until then, I value what RPD is doing to try to keep parks and recreation centers open during these tough times
Would be interesting to know the total salary of the top 10 employees at San Francisco Recreation and Park Department compared to Seattle. Also, how many 20 year concession leases are awarded in Seattle without any evaluation or consideration of the rent offered as in the Stow Lake Boat Concession case?
Park & Rec has mismanaged the City's Swimming Pools for years as well. Spending 2 million dollars on water slides at Hamilton Pool, while pool's like Garfield and Balboa desperately need repair is ridiculous.
Another joke is how they fired the cashiers and locker room attendants; now making the life guards clean and take exact change entrance fees only, so as not to violate their job description. I never understood how it's okay for the lifeguard to be a janitor but not okay for them to break a ten or twenty dollar bill!
Loss of the locker room attendants has actually created excess costs; with no one to monitor the children they repeatedly waste water by taking 30 - 60 minute showers (ignoring the 3 minute limit signs); trash the locker rooms by leaving food and garbage everywhere as well as filling their swim caps with water to throw at each other leaving water all over the place! King pool is the worse -- I have seen water damage to the sheet rock on the ceiling. The noise level alone is enough to discourage any adult from ever returning.
Thank you David Looman for writing this article - it is so very true that P&R does not listen to the public; now they are finally being exposed in the press!
Stealing public assets for private gain: that's what is going on. Arguably some of the most beautiful and valuable real estate in the country is going into private hands under megadeveloper, phoney environmentalist Mark Buell (husband of Susie Tompkins, Esprit founder) and Newsom's boy: Phil Ginsburg, the Director of Rec and Parks. Ginsburg is an ambitious atty. who knows more about the Newsom sex scandal than almost anyone else. Newsom anointed him to Rec and Parks directorship even though he had NO park experience or any other recreation credentials. Now Brown and Newsom control the huge budget at Rec & Park to please their 1% friends. Theft, corruption, greed, deception.. that's the legacy of Buell and Ginsburg.
How have they gotten away with firing all our kids' recreation directors and replacing those jobs with 6 figure public relations drones? They've got the mainstream media scared to print their names for fear of retribution. They've threatened staff with firing if anyone speaks out of line. This will go down in the history books as one of the worst legacies of the Brown/Newsom mob who use media control instead of guns to get their way.

'It's a dream come true' - duo open yoga business (From Enfield Independent)
Get involved: send your pictures, video & news by texting ENFIELD NEWS to 80360, or upload here
Two yoga teachers have opened up their very own studio in Grange Park
Updated 3:47pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Charlie Peat
They say two heads are better than one, and this adage has rung true for two yoga teachers who have joined forces to open a new studio.
North London Yoga Studios in Vera Avenue, Grange Park, was launched this month by duo Jackie Lee and Indira Das-Guptia.
The pair have been teaching the discipline for more than 20 years and Ms Lee admitted that their new venture was a "dream come true."
She said: "I have been teaching yoga for 20 years and it is a dream come true to open my own studio with Indira.
"I have always wanted to have a studio that I can call home because, as most instructors will know, you're often carrying around equipment to different studios every week, it's not easy."
Not only will it be a base for the new business partners but they will be offering other instructors a discounted rate to hold their own classes.
Ms Lee added: "We have never run a business before but it is a very exciting venture. From my experience, studio rates are extortionate which can be disheartening. That is why we are offering a discount to other trainers.
"So far is has been quite hectic and we didn't know what to expect. We hope this can be a successful and enjoyable business."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Jurors have found Joseph Banis guilty of complicity to murder, robbery, and other charges.
It took the jury about ten hours to reach that determination after being sequestered overnight. Banis did not react after the verdict was announced, but simply stood still and didn't say a word. Defense attorneys also did not comment after the verdict.
Prosecutor Ryane Conroy says this case was unlike others she has covered and that it involved a lot of information about sex and drugs.
She says, "The facts and circumstances are things you don't typically talk about in open court, but they were relevant and pertinent to what we were trying to get the jury to decide here, which is the guilt of Joseph Banis."
His sentencing hearing begins at 9 a.m. Monday. Prosecutors plan to push for the death penalty. The jurors will recommend a sentence and the judge will make a final decision.
Deliberations began after attorneys' closing arguments on Thursday.
Banis and Mundt were accused of killing 37-year-old James Carroll during a fight in late 2009. Carroll's body was discovered in the basement of the couple's home in Old Louisville in June 2010.
Prosecutors said the men killed Carroll by shooting and stabbing him, then breaking his knees and stuffing his body into a container.
Mundt is being tried separately. He took a plea deal and testified against Banis so he would not face the death penalty. Prosecutors say the harshest sentence Mundt could get is life in prison.
Conroy says, "His trial is set in May and the Commonwealth intends to proceed to trial on that. We will always continue to re-evaluate our case in light of the fact that all the evidence that got presented here, a lot of it is similar to what will be presented in Jeffrey Mundt's trial."

Back when we were gearing up for some toe-to-toe nuclear combat with the Rooskies, a man could walk into his friendly Dodge dealership and order him up a Town Wagon, to haul six or eight passengers reliably (if not comfortably), or he could opt for the military-truck-based four-wheel-drive Power Wagon and flee those mean ol' Tsar Bombas in an off-road run to the mountains (although you'd need to get quite a head start to escape the blast radius of the Tsar Bomba). Or, because this is the greatest nation on earth, he could have had both! Yes, you could buy a Power Wagon Town Wagon, with four-wheel-drive and lots of seats. Fine vehicle, the Power Wagon Town Wagon, but where can you find one today? They've all rusted away or tumbled down ravines, stuff like that. Except, of course, for this '60 (go here if the ad disappears), which Mad_Science has found for us in Reno. As Mad_Science observes: "note the guy in the picture for scale. Either that guy's a midget or this thing is enormous!" Does it run? Is there rust? What's the interior like? We don't know any of that, but we do know that it's only $1,695 and maybe even, as the seller claims, the "rarest 4x4 in america!" Should be an easy project!
You couldn't buy the Lada in the United States, because we didn't do business with gulag-havin' Stalinists, you betcha. However, the Canadians thought the Soviet-made Fiat 124 sedan clone was so good that they were willing to do business with the Evil Empire, if that's what it took to get their mittened hands on that fine Russian interpretation of an ancient Italian design. That means you need to head up north to Lada Land if you want an example of Late Cold War machinery for your own… and SoNaive has pinpointed the location of this fine '87 Lada Signet (go here if the ad disappears) for us. No mention of running condition is given, but is that even necessary? This is a Soviet Fiat, people! Naturally, you'll want to get on the horn to Italy right away and order up every possible hot-rod engine part you'll need to build a seriously hairy Fiat Twin Cam, or maybe you'll perform a not-yet-found-in-nature Japanese-Soviet-Italian swap and put an SR20DET in this sucka! You might have some issues getting it registered in the United States, because the Lada was never certified to meet US emissions, equipment, or safety standards, but we're sure you'll find the folks at your local DMV are eager to smooth your path to fully legal Lada ownership! Whatever you do to this car, you'll be performing the work in the manner of a Glorious Hero Mechanic Of The Proletariat, because this car comes with a set of Soviet wrenches! Oh yeah! Suddenly I must have a Soviet wrench set!

Minnesota Twins star catcher Joe Mauer is eligible to come off the disabled list this coming Thursday. However, don't get your hopes up - according to general manager Bill Smith, that's pretty unlikely, as Mauer's almost certain to need more time.
But it isn't all bad news. That viral infection that Mauer was battling? He's over that, now. Even though the infection set Mauer's recovery back by roughly a week and cost him some weight, he's currently working out and trying to rebuild his leg strength, the loss of which sent him to the DL in the first place. So Mauer is most definitely making progress.
Most likely, Mauer will be sent on a brief minor league rehab stint whenever he's ready before he returns to the Twins' starting lineup. And the Twins are eager to get him back, as they've gotten nothing out of temporary replacements Steve Holm and Drew Butera.

Health Cares About Domestic Violence Day 2006
Oct 11, 2006
Dozens of hospitals, clinics, medical students and educators around the nation are holding activities on October 11 and throughout Domestic Violence Awareness Month for the eighth annual Health Cares About Domestic Violence (HCADV) Day. These events encourage health care providers to routinely assess patients for domestic violence. For the second year, the American Medical Students Association (AMSA) is partnering with the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) to organize medical school campuses around this issue.
"Doctors, nurses and other health care providers can do so much to help victims of domestic and sexual violence, but often they miss this opportunity because they are not trained to inquire about abuse," said FVPF Managing Director Debbie Lee. "Domestic violence has immediate health consequences, but it can also cause dangerous, life-threatening conditions that affect victims and survivors throughout their lives. Health care providers routinely assess their patients for high blood pressure and cigarette smoking, but too few ask their patients if they are experiencing violence. We aim to change that."
Among the many HCADV Day activities set for October 11:
- CA: The California Partnership to End Domestic Violence is sponsoring, "Californians Uniting to End Domestic Violence: A Statewide Day of Awareness." The event, on the West steps of the Capitol building in Sacramento, will include speakers, live entertainment, information booths and refreshments. Additional event activities include "Silent Witness" displays provided by Kaiser Hospital and Yolo County.
- DC: The Sexual Violence Awareness Group at George Washington University will team with the AMSA Chapter and the Ob/Gyn Group for a lunchtime event that will feature a video, "Voices for Survivors" and a panel discussion featuring psychologists, doctors and survivors.
- FL: The Pre-Medical AMSA Women in Medicine Committee at the University of Florida will distribute information at a table at the University's Student Union building in Gainesville. The material will include information about domestic violence and contact information for hotlines.
- FL: The University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine chapter of the AMSA, partnering with the Victims Services Center, is hosting a lunchtime workshop for students on domestic violence. The session will feature domestic abuse survivors discussing their experiences with domestic violence screening, and domestic violence treatment in a health-care setting.
- KY: The University of Kentucky, College of Medicine is sponsoring a panel discussion on domestic violence for medical students. Speakers will include a clinician, a patient, and others. Program participants will also hand out quick-reference cards to attendees and place posters in waiting areas of the hospital with information on how to contact a crisis hotline.
- MI: The University of Michigan is sponsoring an interactive peer education workshop on domestic and dating violence for first- and second-year medical students. The session is organized by the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center at the University. Throughout the month, the University will sponsor a series of other activities, as well, including separate panel discussions with survivors of domestic violence, and health care providers; a clothesline project for display in lecture building hallways; a donation drive for a local domestic violence shelter; and a screening of a documentary and a follow-up discussion.
- OR: Asante Health System in Medford is sponsoring brown bag workshop trainings on screening, setting up informational booths, and holding a vigil organized by two hospital-based domestic violence programs. Presentations will be given to various departments, screenings will be conducted throughout the hospital, and an article on the importance of screening will be featured in the hospital newsletter.
Because domestic and sexual violence are so prevalent and have such detrimental health and social consequences, the FVPF is also using HCADV Day to call on Congress to fully fund the Violence Against Women Act. "That bill includes critical provisions to improve the health care response to domestic, sexual and dating violence and stalking, and to help children who witness abuse," said FVPF President Esta Soler. "But we need to fund the programs the law was designed to support."
The health care cost of intimate partner violence, physical assault and stalking totals $5.8 billion each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Screening materials from the FVPF's National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence are available through the Health Resource Center's toll-free hotline, 1-888-rx-abuse or 1-800-595-4889 (tty), or visit www.endabuse.org/health.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Visitors to the new Peoria Riverfront Museum will find a wide array of exhibits inside the facility's two art galleries.
At 30,000 square feet, the International Features Gallery is more than double the size of Lakeview's gallery. The new bigger space can now feature more than 600 works.
Museum officials say the gallery will continue the museum's strong tradition of bringing world-class traveling exhibitions.
"It's very uptown, big city, it's very current. I think Lakeview served its purpose well. It was an important institution in the community, but it's 2012 and let's get with it. Here we are," said Peoria Riverfront Museum Curator Kristan McKinsey.
Seventy-five art pieces have been selected for the the Central Illinois Arts Organization and Friends Invitational, the first big show inside the new museum.

The Ravens are disputing a report from The Sporting News that the team has scheduled a private workout with Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert.
Rumors of the workout came just one day after Gabbert's pro day, which Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh was in attendance for.
The Ravens hold the 24th selection in April's NFL draft.
The way we see it
Baltimore already has a franchise quarterback in Joe Flacco, whom the organization seems to be more than happy with. Gabbert is expected to be taken higher than the Ravens' current position in the first round.

Obama has to do this to fight the massive corporate donations to right wing candidates. We need to reform campaign spending laws to restrict anonymous donations from corporations.

Marine Management News Fish Identification Quiz
May 2012
This flatfish moves from its shallow water feeding grounds to deeper waters along the continental shelf to spawn between November and March. This migration may happen only every other year in a behavior biologists call "skip spawning." Recently, electronic tags on this species recorded a previously unknown behavior, when fish swam towards the surface then drifted back down to the bottom. Biologists believe this may be similar to "spawning rises" seen in other flatfish, when female and male fish swim vertically in the water column to release and fertilize eggs closer to the currents that disperse them.
As they develop, the eggs slowly rise towards the surface, drifting with the currents for about two weeks before hatching. After hatching, the young fish swim upright with one eye located on each side of the body. The left eye begins to rotate over the snout to the right side of the body when the fish reaches about one inch in length. By the time both eyes have settled on the right side of the body and the left side pigmentation has faded to white, the young fish are about one and one-third inches long and looking for a home in shallow, nearshore waters, generally between May and September.
Very young fish feed on plankton. As they develop, they shift to feeding primarily on fishes, clam, crab, squid and other invertebrates. As adults, this fish is sometimes eaten by marine mammals, but is rarely preyed upon by other fish.
As they grow, young fish move offshore to deeper, sandy habitat. Females become mature at eight to 16 years of age (average 12), however males mature earlier. A large female of 140 pounds may produce over 2 1/2 million eggs.
This fish ranges from Santa Barbara, California to Nome, Alaska off North America, at depths from 20 to 3,600 feet. Off California, most are found in nearshore areas from Fort Bragg northward.
The fisheries for this species are strictly regulated with gear restrictions, open/closed seasons, area restrictions, and bag limits. The catch in California is dwarfed by much larger catches of this species in northern waters. Commercial landings in California are now negligable, with only a few hundred pounds brought ashore in 2010. Significantly more fish were landed prior to the 1950s, but after 1952 landings rapidly decreased and never recovered. In 2011, recreational fishermen in southern Oregon and northern California landed an estimated 9,648 lb. of this species.
This fish is a Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis. The daily bag and possession limit for Pacific halibut is 1 fish, per CCR Title 14, Section 28.20(b).

There is a growing debate across America about whether openly gay members should be allowed in the Boy Scouts of America. The group's national council will take a critical vote on this topic next week.
Opponents of openly gay scouts were out on Orange Blossom Trail in full force on Friday afternoon, making their views known. Their signs read "VOTE NO" on the resolution. The group of scout leaders, church member and moms do not want openly gay members in scouting.
"There are gays in scouting. They have to act appropriate. Their behavior and their conduct cannot be a distraction to the mission of scouting," said John Stemberger, founder of OnMyHonor.net, a website lobbying to keep politics and sex out of scouting.
The Orlando rally was one of forty held across America, designed to send a message to national leaders.
"What the new policy is proposing is open homosexuality, that is to flaunt sexuality and to be very open and blunt about the politics that comes with being gay," Stemberger added. "We think that's really inappropriate."
He said any issues surrounding being gay should be discussed with parents at home, and not during scouting events.
On the other side of the debate is Michael Farmer. He is statewide field director for the gay rights group Equality Florida. Farmer said gay members should not have to hide their sexual orientation.
"You are asking them to lie about who they are, and I think that's wrong," he said, adding that gay scouts are not a threat to anyone. "I was a boy scout for years and years. I was a life scout there. Thousands of gay scouts all over the country have been participating in the program for years and years."
Farmer has a message to people who think openly gay scouts should be accepted for who they are. "If they oppose discrimination, and they think a boy scout should be able to be part of this great American organization, openly and honestly, they should make sure they make their voices heard."
The Boy Scouts of America National Council is expected to vote on this important resolution next Thursday evening, at their national convention outside of Dallas.

Create Dirty Work II
In the summer of 1998, there came a gift from god in the form of an 88 minute film, this film was known as dirty work. This film featured the most dynamic, funny, and enjoyable group of comedic minds that this world has ever seen. Headlined by Norm Macdonald and Artie Lang, with appearances from Chevy Chase, Chris Farley, Gary Coleman, and Adam Sandler among others, this blockbuster gave this world a load of laughs that has not been given since. The world is finally ready for another. It is time to give up this charade of creating movies with no real substance and give us what we REALLY want. It's time to create Dirty Work II. And we need your help.

Make Her Chase You is Now a Paperback
I've finally finished making Make Her Chase You into a paperback. I've been selling it as an ebook for the past year and a half or so and refining it and adding to it. After one last edit I finally felt like it was good enough to be put into a permanent format.
I also had a lot of fun laying out the book. I get really into design things like this, so I surrounded myself with books in my RV and figured out how a book is laid out. There's a ton to consider, from gutters and margins to font sizes and chapter pages.
For example... what is the very first page of a book? Take a guess! I would have gotten it wrong.
In the next couple of weeks the book will be on Amazon. I want to price it at $20, but I may have to jack it up to not compete with the ebook, depending on the strategy of the person who takes over the project.
Anyway, I'm in Austin for another 19 days, and so I'm going to do at least one batch of autographed books before I go. I may have time for two batches, but maybe not. I have the feeling the last week is going to be spent making last minute gear adjustments, figuring out how to store the RV, etc.
So... if you want an autographed book, now's the time! Maybe the only time!
Here are some photos:
The price for an autographed copy is $19.99 plus $3.99 for shipping (more for international). I think that's a pretty great deal since I normally sell the book for $47.
Of course, it doesn't come with the online-only extras (70+ minute audio course, wingman ebook, and 30 day interactive online pickup course). If you want all that, I'll make you a deal. Pay the $47 for the online version and I'll send you an autographed copy of the paperback for free. I'll even pay shipping.
If you already have the ebook then don't feel like you have to get the paperback. The edits from the 2008 edition are mainly for clarity. There are no new sections, so don't buy it expecting for it to be something new.
If you aren't familiar with the book, it's basically the collection of all of my pick up knowledge. It's different from other books because it focuses on BUILDING a life and personality that attract women, rather than tactics and routines (although there are a few of those). It covers everything from opening to getting out of the friend zone to date ideas, etc.
People who have read the book really like it and despite a very liberal return policy on the ebook, I get virtually no returns. Lots of people have written to me and told me that their dating lives have been turned around 180 because of the book.
I'm really proud of the book and really happy with how it came out. I hope you enjoy it too! I'll take down this link in a few days when I won't have time to order, sign, and ship the books. Until then:
EDIT: I have ordered all the books. If you order now you will have to wait for a second order which may not be until January.
And you also get free shipping if you order more than two. This is mainly because I got sick of trying to set up the shipping tables properly. This includes international orders for the same reason.
Also, you can get more info on the book by clicking the "dating" link at the top, but make sure you buy with the link above to get a deal.
If you want to wait and buy through Amazon, it will be on there in a few weeks, but the price may be really high. Not sure yet.
P.S. I have two proof copies which were sent to me to verify the layout of the book. I have them labeled #1 and #2. They represent the first two physical copies of a book that I've written that have ever existed. If you want to buy these as a collector's thing or an investment (because you rightly believe that I will be famous-er some day), I'll sell the #1 for $200 or the #2 for $150.

A family is mourning the loss of a teenager after a game that has become an internet sensation turns fatal.
Malik Johnson, 17, was killed Sunday morning in Rome after playing chicken with an oncoming train.
Police said Johnson and his friends weren't just walking down to the tracks, they were actually laying down. They were supposed to get out of the way at the last second, but Johnson never made it.
Johnson's family said they were not only shocked but confused.
"I've never known Malik to do something like this. It's kind of a shock to me for him to do that," said Johnson's cousin Brianna Creaner.
Taqurius Glynn is another one of Johnson's cousins. He admitted it was a stupid thing to do, but said that's not who Johnson really was.
He said they won't remember him for this mistake, but for what he did well.
"He was a good person. He could dance. He always made people laugh. He wasn't a bad person at all," said Glynn.
The family said they don't exactly know where Johnson and his friends got the idea, but there was a lot of talk about them possibly watching clips on YouTube.
Desiree Scales is the CEO of Bella Web Design. She said millions of clips are posted each month and clips of people playing chicken with a train weren't too hard to find.
"I found a hundred if not more," said Scales.
Clips posted online can actually be even more dangerous than anything seen on TV or even the movies, said Scales.
"YouTube makes it more seductive because these are real people. It's real kids doing this and getting away with it. They think they got away with it so I'm going to try it too," said Scales.
With millions of videos coming in she said it's almost impossible to regulate, but she said that doesn't mean you can't keep your kids safe.
"Monitor it and know what your kids are watching, know who their friends are. I think it goes even beyond that by knowing who friends are and who they are hanging out with. Have conversations with kids every day," said Scales.

I have to admit that it took me a couple of listens before really bonding with this album. It is disturbing, discomforting, and takes you someplace where your darkest, most maddening nightmares originate, but allthewhile is a brilliant musical composition that takes music to the very brink of sanity and coherence, teeters as if to jump, then recoils back into (relative) lucidity. It is a piece that can best be described as the musical equivalent to being trapped in a morgue at night and keeping yourself entertained until morning dissecting the corpses, who then awaken and attack you with your own scalpel. Because this composition has been subject to so much criticism, I make the analogy that Mike Patton is the Arnold Schönberg of our time. Schönberg, whose compositions many of his early critics rejected, also pushed the musical boundaries with pieces that conformed to neither key nor time. He is an indisputable genius, and anyone that agrees with this statement is probably as fascinated by Mike Patton as I am, and would undoubtedly enjoy the journey into the musical hellscape that is Delirium Cordia.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Fantomas' Delirium Cordia: it's dark, scary, beautiful, and intriguing. Comprised of one long song (74 minutes and no track breaks!,) Delirium Cordia really requires the listener to take it all in at once. Like the difference between seeing a film in a theater and on TV, the effect just isn't quite the same if you break it up. I know – reading that it's one long track for well over an hour doesn't seem appealing, and before I listened to it I even considered burning a copy with track breaks just so I could jump around, but once you give it a spin you'll understand. The film analogy above is fitting – the only comparison that makes sense with regard to Delirium Cordia is a film. And really, it's more fitting that it's compared to the score of a film. Delirium Cordia isn't so much "music" as it is a collection of sounds – you won't find any significantly hummable tunes anywhere within that 74 minute time span. What you will find is a harrowing journey representative of . . . something having to do with surgery. Or maybe death. Or maybe life after death. I'm not sure – and Fantomas gives you very few clues to go on. What you will experience are Fantomas staples – speed riffing; ominous plodding basslines; Mike Patton's trademark vocal pyrotechnics – and a host of disturbing sounds inspired by (and possibly sourced from) the operating room environment. Keep that word "disturbing" in mind – because that's exactly what this album is. This is seriously creepy stuff – between blasts of frantic Fantomas energy, you'll hear doctors discussing procedures, medical equipment, and other unidentifiable noises, and periodically the band will break in with a shocking amount of noise. Other times, Fantomas explores the ambience, allowing the listener to settle in – but knowing Fantomas, you won't trust them because you know that peak of energy is coming. And it does – over and over, and you never expect it, no matter how prepared you try to make yourself.To top it all off, the album comes packaged in a glossy black slipcase. Slide that off and you'll see the front of the liner notes bearing the slightly bloodied hands of a surgeon crossed over his chest. Inside of a classy, unusual dark-tinted jewelcase is a gorgeously printed booklet . . . but inside lies imagery you will be recalling as you listen to the album. A face is distorted and warped by a series of clamps pulling back the lips of a patient – why, we don't know; a stream of bloody water flows from an enormous wound; a patient's chest is cracked open to reveal a massive tumor; and best of all is an eye being lifted out of the eye socket of an organ donor. These are all real photos, the work of Max Aguilera as published in his book, The Sacred Heart. Disturbing and disgusting as they are, they add a dimension to the music that makes the proceedings that much more real and important. This isn't just a gross-out session by the band – what their point is isn't entirely clear, but it's not a joke. Maybe they're just saying, "Hey, take care of yourself – this is what happens when you die."The most I can make is that what we hear is supposed to be the last hour of someone's life. That's all the meaning I can take from this. Like the best films and the best books, it doesn't tell you everything. In fact, it hardly tells anything at all – the mystery is bigger than the music itself. But that keeps me coming back – over the past few days since I first listened to it, it has rarely been long out of my head. I can say, however, that when you make it through those 74 minutes, the end is absolutely not what you might expect. I won't spoil it for you – you need to experience it for yourself. I won't even tell you my reaction, because I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I will say this – there's nearly 15 minutes of what sounds like a breathing pump and possibly the sound of blood flowing through veins. And then . . . you figure it out. I can guarantee you it's not what you're thinking it is.
This is one of the best albums to come out in a long time. I will not bother comparing it to any other album, because it stands alone as a testament to what a truly great album can be. When I popped this one into the cd player in my car as I drove home from the record store, my mind was immediately flooded with images of old hospitals, grimy sugical instruments and a spiritual unease. I was hooked, and I intend that pun. On the back of the cd case, there is a quote: "Like the surgeon, the composer slashes open the body of his fellow man, removes his eyes, empties his abdomen of organs, hangs him up on a hook, holding up to the light all of the body's palpitating treasures, sending a burst of light into its' innermost depths. – Richard Selzer, MD." This quote sums up the album completely, as there is an overwhelming dark theme composed of vocalizations, sound effects, and instrumentation interspersed with glorious choral vignettes, suggesting that the pain and suffering of the patient is temporarily alleviated by medicine, unconciousness, or a spiritual intervention. There is an almost constant feeling of impending doom, and then sometimes, the doom reveals itself with a cacophonic dirge, as though the gates of Hell had just opened and a legion of infernal creatures were coming just to torment one person lying under sedation on an operating table. Who knows what horrors lurk in the depths of an anaethestic-induced nightmare? I think Mike Patton has opened an operating room door and the sign reads "Delirium Cordia".
What I want to know is who listens to this kind of music, and when? Delirium Cordia definitively isn't an album you put on for a party, or to rock out to in your car like Mike Patton's other band Tomahawk. Really, it isn't something to play at all in the presence of others, no matter how impolite the company.This album, just 1 track, 74 minutes long, is isolated, deranged, and an absolute masterpiece of complex sound and mood. Fantomas' last album, The Director's Cut, took the band into film score by doing short covers of famous pieces like "Rosemary's Baby" and "The God Father," but this one delves fully into an original full length composition that really might best be suitable for something directed by Cronenberg or Aronovsky. And that's the best way to listen to it, eyes closed, alone, imagining your own movie to accompany this piece of music-and the acid-blasted landscapes of auditory imagery aroused belong in a genre busting horror film; or perhaps this is just the music that the pathologist hums in his head while performing an autopsy.Delirium Cordia reminds me of the paintings of Henry Darger, with its haunting, disturbed beauty, moments of innocence subverted, and violent storms constantly threatening to erupt. And they do erupt, but not with the level of nearly un-listenable cacophony found in other works by Mike Patton, such as Adult Themes for Voice. Delirium Cordia is the perfect mood-setter to listen to while writing fiction and poetry (if what you write leans towards the misanthropic, the violent, the introspective.) And it leaves me more convinced than ever that Mike Patton at some point will be approached by an intelligent director to score a daring and unconventional film (or videogame.) Finally, the art. Nothing else by Fantomas (or any other Patton project since the first Mr. Bungle album) has had such lush production values in the cover art. This is the best way to stop music piracy–by making the complete work a coherent piece of art, as these richly produced color photos and quotations mesh perfectly with the music. To have only the music hidden away on your hard drive would be to diminish the overall experience of enjoying Delirium Cordia. The prickle of gooseflesh I felt slipping off the black protective cardboard sleeve for the first time and seeing the chilling image on the cover (let it be a secret) greatly heightened my apprehension about what I was going to hear as I put the disk into the player. A sterile download bar is no replacement. This disk is the best thing to show up in my mailbox in months.If you've liked the Melvins, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, or if you know none of those bands but like dark film scores and experimental music, stop reading and BUY THIS ALBUM NOW.
It's impossible for me to listen to this music without simply shaking my head in utter amazement.To even be able to imagine, let alone effectively conjure, such a dementedly beautiful soundscape is beyond comprehension.Obviously, it builds on past forays into–what? I don't know, not being entirely familiar with the previous efforts of this remarkable construct emanating from the mind of Mike Patton. But there are snippets of metal, jazz, electronica, horror movie soundtrack–all welded together in a unique sonic signature: Dark, noxious, strangely beautiful, mesmeric, and ghostly.I think I catch the vibe of surgery as somehow alchemic, violative, invasive, yet essentially humane.As is this music.Dangerous, vital, indespensible, oddly compelling.

Dress - Forever 21 | Circle necklace - H&M | Crystal point necklace - Forever 21 | Everly Wrap boots - Jeffrey Campbell, via Tuchuzy | Handbag - Topshop
You know how when you are so into something in the beginning and your interest starts to fade away towards the end? Thats what happened to me when I got to into documenting my first day of the trip that I just got lazier in capturing and recording everything about the trip, which is why there are no other pictures aside from the pictures of my outfit from that day. This could possibly be the last set of photos of my outfit during my vacation.
If you follow me on instagram, you've probably seen this outfit. This was the outfit I wore on the third day I suppose, I picked something more casual, a little white dress. Oh i can't even begin to tell you how much I love this dress. I have always been the fan of something simple yet versatile. This dress is both casual and dressy at the same time, it is something you can throw on during a chilled day or a more posh event. My one go-to-trick whenever I am wearing a plain casual piece is to chuck on some gold necklaces in different lengths, in this way it makes it seems like I've put a lil bit more of effort to my outfit.

JEFFERSON, La. (KNOE 8 News and DOTD) – Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Secretary Sherri H. LeBas has announced that the Huey P. Long Bridge in New Orleans will be fully open to drivers on June 16, 2013, approximately four months ahead of schedule.
"We are proud to announce the early and on budget completion of the amazing improvements being made to the Huey P. Long Bridge," Sec. LeBas said. "Motorists are already experiencing the benefits as they drive on newly opened ramps, overpasses and lanes. In June of this year, you will see the total rebirth of this iconic bridge meaning it will be safer, quicker and easier to get where you need to go."
Drivers began using two new lanes on the bridge in April 2012 so that the old lanes could be removed and the new lanes expanded to their final width on the bridge. New ramps and overpasses are in use on the East and West Banks. Two additional ramps and overpasses along with the new lanes on the bridge itself will be completed prior to the opening.
The bridge is now in the final phase of a $1.2 billion widening project started in 2006 shortly after Hurricane Katrina. When completed, the bridge will have three 11-foot lanes in each direction with eight-foot outside and two-foot inside shoulders. The driving surfaces will more than double from the original 18-feet wide to 43-feet wide on both sides of the bridge. Additionally, new intersections with traffic signals at Bridge City Avenue and Jefferson Highway are being constructed.
"We are committed to delivering this bridge as promised on June 16, 2013," said Steve Spohrer Director of Louisiana TIMED Managers, who is managing the joint venture constructing the bridge. "We are proud of the great improvements that have been made and appreciate the patience drivers have displayed as construction has progressed on the bridge."
Work to be completed on the bridge includes a new overpass of Bridge City Avenue in the East Bank bound direction. It is expected to be completed in the next two months. The final overpass to be completed with be over Jefferson Highway in the West Bank bound direction. It will be finished shortly before the opening date for the entire bridge.
Workers are also busy widening the lanes on the main part of the bridge over the river. Once they are completed, concrete barriers between the lanes currently in use and the newly constructed lanes will be removed. Traffic will be allowed on all lanes following a bridge dedication ceremony on June 16.
The ceremony will begin in the morning of June 16 with a 5K race/walk on the bridge. A ribbon-cutting, entertainment and other festivities will also be part of the celebration of the new, wider bridge.
"The Huey P" was the first Mississippi River Bridge in New Orleans when it opened in 1935. It was the longest railroad bridge in the world for about 15 years. Prior to the bridge being built, railroad cars had to be ferried across the river.
Louisiana Governor Huey P Long was responsible for the addition of driving lanes for automobiles during construction of the bridge, which began in 1932. He provided the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad with $7 million to build the two narrow lanes in each direction. The lanes were adequate for the types of vehicles and limited traffic of the time, but were not wide enough for today's large trucks and more than 50,000 vehicles per day.
The $1.2 billion Huey P. Long Bridge Widening Project is one of 16 projects in the $4.6 billion Louisiana Transportation Infrastructure Model for Economic Development (TIMED) Program, managed by Louisiana TIMED Managers (LTM), a joint venture of GEC Inc., Parsons-Brinckerhoff Inc., and THE LPA GROUP INCORPORATED. It is the single largest transportation program in Louisiana history and is designed to enhance economic development and improve evacuation routes and safety through an investment in infrastructure.
The program is funded by a dedicated $0.04 per gallon gasoline and motor fuels tax. It was created by Act 16 of the 1989 Louisiana Legislature and was approved by a vote of the people. Projects include widening 536 miles of state highways, new construction or improvements to three major bridges and the improvements to both the Port of New Orleans and the Louis Armstrong International Airport.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is committed to delivering transportation and public works systems that enhance the quality of life. In addition to more than 16,600 miles of roadway, including over 890 miles of interstate, DOTD supports the development of the state's aviation, marine and rail infrastructures. Through this work, we are able to facilitate economic development, create job opportunities, improve vital evacuation routes, and make critical freight corridors safer and more efficient.

Furman wins first round FCS beating SC St 30-20
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) Jarius Hollman had a 90-yard TD punt return and another 34-yard TD interception return to lead Furman to a 30-20 FCS first round playoff win over South Carolina State on Saturday.
Furman (8-5, 6-2 Southern Conference) and South Carolina State (9-4, 7-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) squared-off in the first round of the twenty-four team FCS playoff field and Hollman's TDs gave the Paladins all the padding needed for the win.
Furman trailed the Bulldogs 7-6 in the first quarter, but had 14 third quarter points, including Hollman's interception return that put the game away. Furman had a solid ground game with Tanner Skogen collecting 116 yards.

Less than a day after 4 children under 4 years of age were found dead in a Hartsville mobile home fire, the Mayor of the town described what he saw when – while also working as a fireman – he found the fatally injured children inside the home.
Mel Pennington, the Hartsville Mayor, also serves as a volunteer firefighter for the town.
He was among the fire crews that arrived at the mobile home on Depot Street just before 2 pm on Wednesday.
A mobile home was in flames and inside were four children. Their mother was in the yard.
Pennington said the children were together when they were found inside the home, with some of the children in a closet.
"To see those kids hugging each other, holding on to each other and you just know they were scared," Pennington said while standing at the mobile home. "There is just no word to describe that feeling."
"We just pray that they were taken peacefully ... but all I can think about is those kids. That is all any of the first responders are thinking about, trying to get past the visual image in your mind of those kids, holding on to each other in the closet, yelling for help not knowing what, where to turn," said Pennington.
Inside the home were Myasia Hawkins and her twin sister, Kynasia Hawkins, ten months old, their brother, Delonta Dixon 4-years-old and another brother, Camaron Mason 2-years-old all of Hartsville.
A neighbor told police she heard a loud boom and ran outside to find the home on fire. Knowing the kids were inside she attempted to save them but the flames were to intense.
On Thursday, the grandmother of the dead children arrived at the house and had to be carried by family as she broke down. Other people arrived to add items to a makeshift memorial.
News 13 learned earlier today a candlelight vigil is set to take place Friday at 8:30 pm in the center of downtown Hartsville, Centennial Park.
"Yesterday our community experienced a horrible tragedy, and I continue to struggle to find the words to make sense of it," Pennington wrote on Facebook Thursday.
"First, being a father before I am a mayor, I extend the condolences of our city to the family that is struggling to deal with this tragic loss," he said. "I am proud of our firemen and all of our first responders yesterday -- They exhausted every effort to save these four children."
The funeral services will take place next Thursday at an undetermined location.
Young and Young Funeral Home handles the arrangements.

Somehow, in the shady days of post-grunge radio, when music struggled to find a definable scene or sound, in the midst of the detritus of Staind and the early birth pangs of Disturbed, came the Gorillaz. A quirky British act based on animated characters and the unexplored mental depths of Blur frontman Damon Albarn, the Gorillaz dominated an entire musical cycle without ever bending to the mold.
Joe's going to hate this.

Sartore has spent many years traveling the world, photographing endangered species of animals and venturing out into natural areas to capture clear, mind-blowing images of flowers, trees and other plant life.
"The Gertrude Windsor Garden Club is so pleased to have the opportunity to showcase our beautiful city as we host the Zone IX meeting," noted Betsy Ellis, Gertrude Windsor Garden Club president. "Part of our focus will be Caldwell Zoo, which is cherished by the people of Tyler and East Texas for its conservation of animals and natural habitats. The spectacular 85 acres will make a memorable venue for Zoo Zone 2013."
On Friday, April 5, from 1:00 p.m. until 5 p.m., the public is invited to attend the conference's flower show in the Tyler Rose Garden Center.

5Justin Bieber is Abusing People Now
Namely, his bodyguard, who he allegedly "punched repeatedly" in the chest, and it's also the very same bodyguard to whom is allegedly owed somewhere in the neighborhood of $400k in unpaid overtime. Isn't Justin just the best, guys? And by "best," I mean "worst punk-ass little shit to ever scar the world to the core"?

Justin Bieber is tuff 2 the MAX!
Seriously though, could you imagine being a bodyguard and getting punked by the Biebs?
The bodyguard is pathetic if he let that tiny twig get to him. Any normal size man could snap him in half. What a no talent hack. I cant wait for him to get his ass kicked
Ugh, I'm so embarrassed to be a Canadian > <
Are you kidding? If Bieber were an American star, he would have just shot his bodyguard.

VTA OKs $1.3 million study to cut fares for low-income residents

Does anyone else see the irony in spending $1.3 million on this study? Couldn't they just use the $1.3 million to pay for VTA tickets for low income folks until the money runs out?
on Feb 5, 2013 at 2:32 pm
Remember those names... when they wish to extend their political ambition.
on Feb 5, 2013 at 3:12 pm
MV resident, my understanding is that the $1.3 million "study" is to do what you propose--provide VTA tickets to low-income people--and to determine how effectively to do do this by evaluating various approaches. A confirmation of my understanding would be welcome.
While many of us use public transportation only occasionally (and get complacent when schedules are reduced and fares increased), low-income people(and young non-drivers) in our community rely on public transit to get to employment, education, and shopping. I applaud efforts to make this more affordable.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
H&M is known for going big, but last night's party stayed small. The Swedish retailer booked New York's micro-venue The Wooly for a performance by its new campaign face, Lana Del Rey. Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, and Barbara Bush were particularly looking forward to Lana's performance. "I've been a big fan of hers for a long time," Gurung told Style.com. "She came to my show and sat in my front row last spring before everyone knew about her."
They knew her and she knew them. "There's so many faces here I recognize," Del Rey said as she took the stage to perform an acoustic version of her hit "Blue Jeans." One such familiar face was Leandra Medine, of Man Repeller fame, spotted swaying and singing along in the front. Little known fact: The two were teenage friends, when Lana Del Rey still went by Lizzy. "We used to take the subway together from 86th Street!" Medine said. How has Lana changed since achieving such celebrity? "It's been really interesting to see what's happened to Lizzy in the past year. She's magical," she added, as Del Rey broke into "Blue Velvet," which she also performs in the new H&M campaign video. "There are just some people who have it and she's one of them."

I miss level one :'(
It was really fun, though. It was totally different than level one and unexpected.
I felt SO much better after working out and went jogging with my boyfriend afterwards.
<3 Thank you so much. <3
I started today! I miss level one too, haha. It was really fun though :) Thanks for stopping by to say hi.
I really hate writing stuff like this cause I feel like it might rub off on my followers that are looking for encouragment, but the last couple of days have just been horrible.
These past few days I haven't felt like eating or sleeping. I look in the mirror and I feel like I am getting bigger and bigger each day. I don't have any energy and no will to do anything at all , all day.
… I think I'm bloated about 2 inches and it feels horrible working so hard and see myself look so huge.
Idk if it's in my head or what but I don't see the same difference in my pics when I look in the mirror. I feel so huge.
I hope that the 30 day shred level 2 gets me pumped!
This evening things got a little better. I did my first day of level 2 of my 30 Day Shred and then I jogged a mile and walked a mile with my bf. I feel like I'm in a better mood, but I feel like the only reason I am eating is cause I know that I need to, in order to lose weight healthily.
I felt like I was force feeding myself this morning when I ate yogurt.
I really miss cooking and eating fresh stuff.
Lately I just eat what Anthony makes and try to make it healthier by omitting the bread/ fatty stuff but it's not the same. I like making my own healthy foods.
Hopefully tomorrow will be alot better.
Good bye level one :') you shall be missed. Except for the side lunges.
I hate you side lunges.
Wonder what level 2 looks like…
I've only been doing the shred but my body feels like I need to be doing more.
I have gotten too lazy and dependent on those 20 mins. I want to want to work out and be happy about it just like I was these past few weeks.
