LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- As Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad and other city leaders met Tuesday night with concerned Parkland neighborhood residents, a new city administrator sat among them.
Anthony Smith, the city's new Director of Safe Neighborhoods, sat in a chair and listened as residents complained about vacant abandoned houses, diminished job opportunities for young people and a strong distrust of police officers.
Parkland residents who attended the meeting say little has been done little to repair a fractured relationship between police and residents after the deadly shootings on May 17, 2012 that rocked the city. They argue that relationship needs to be repaired.
"It's got to be built. If it ain't built, everything is going to fall in the water. Without that bridge, these kids don't trust them. How can they trust them when they walk down the street and they stop them for no reason," said Darius Calloway, a Parkland resident.
Smith will earn $75,000 in his new role that starts March 4th. On top of a police chief and a public safety director, this hire has been criticized by Metro Council Republicans, who claim the job lacks a detailed description.
But Fischer defended the hire Tuesday afternoon.
"A lot of people have criticized me for creating this position. They say 'shouldn't the police be doing this?' "Anthony is from Louisville. He is connected in a lot of different ways. He's a really good facilitator."
Conrad also endorsed the hire, saying thousands of arrests haven't stopped deadly violence.
"I see us working very closely together as he works on the 26 recommendations to come out of task force to prevent violence," Conrad said of Smith, adding that he will be "truly making changes in our community that are beyond the capacity of the police department."
Smith declined to be interviewed Tuesday night because he has not started his official job. But he did speak with WDRB News earlier in the day.
"I really want to take a look at the task force and meet with the chairs from those departments and see how we move those recommendations on down the line," Smith said during an interview.
Conrad says Smith's hire will help the city's effort to end violence.
"One of the big components of this plan is economic development -- you've gotta have safe neighborhoods to attract companies to offer those jobs," said Conrad.

Dear Editor,
On behalf of the Beach Cities Toy Drive Committee, a big "thank you" to everyone who donated and/or wrapped a toy, wrote a check, provided food or live entertainment at the 20th Annual Beach Cities Toy Drive wrapping party.
This year, the event, took place at the Joslyn Center in Manhattan Beach and culminated in the collection of approximately 3,000 new toys for distribution to underprivileged kids in the Los Angeles area.
Throughout the Holiday Season, the new toys were collected and dropped off at the Hermosa and Manhattan Beach fire stations, as well as other holiday mixers. From there, the toys were transferred to a sea container in Hermosa.
All of the toys, save a small number, were then wrapped by volunteers at the December 15th wrapping party in Manhattan Beach and distributed to recognized charities such as the 1736 House, Richstone, UCLA Child Crisis Center, L.A. County Toy Loan Program, and the Good Shepherd Center for Women.
About 100 people came to the Joslyn Center in Manhattan Beach this year, wrapped toys, saw old friends and left with warm souls and well-deserved praise. Peggy Barr ran a victory lap around the hall for sporting the oldest, commemorative wrapping party t-shirt which dated all the way back to 1994!
For everyone's efforts, the party wrappers enjoyed great food served at lunch from our participating restaurants: Sharkeez, Palmilla, Café Boogaloo, Gum Tree, Patrick Malloy's, Hennessey's, American Junkie, Mediterraneo, Cantina Real, Pancho's, Mama D's, Silvio's Barbeque and Abigales. Live entertainment was provided by the Hyperion Outfall Serenaders.
A special thanks goes to other participating entities such as the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce, JOL Design Screenprinting and, of course, the Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach fire departments, which make this event possible every year.
Last, the "Big Hug Award" once again goes to the Hermosa Cyclery which, for another straight year, donated 35 brand-new bicycles. It warms my heart to know that several kids in Los Angeles who would otherwise do without are getting those new bikes for the holidays.
See you at the Community Center Gym in Hermosa Beach with a toy and wrapping party next year!

Delicious Cuisines
Delicious, inspired, unique.
A mix of over 50 cultures, Curaçao's food is as varied as its residents.
Because much of Curaçao's food is imported, island visitors enjoy access to international cuisine with a local flavor. Taste the variety of Dutch, Spanish, Creole, Indonesian, and many, many more flavors in our culinary delights.
You can sample authentic local food at Curaçao's famous old market, Marsche Bieuw in downtown Willemstad. Hygiene and food quality are excellent, portions are generous, and prices can't be beat. Seating is strictly first come-first served, at a few small tables or at long counters. Each stand is independently operated. Be sure to see the small paintings depicting rural life of old times that adorn the vents above the cooking areas.
Some Basics
Erwten soep
- Thick pea soup with pork, ham, and sausage
Nasigoreng - Bean sprouts sautéed with chunks of meat and chicken
Bami - Long noodles with vegetables and meat
Saté - Skewered meat with peanut sauce (see recipe)
Rijsttafel - Table serving rice with up to 20 accompanying dishes
Adventurous Options:
Yuana -
Stewed iguana, which tastes remarkably like chicken; also iguana soup (Sopi Yuana)
Kabritu - Stewed goat. (see our recipe page)
Sample these dishes at the Old Market (Marshe) in Punda or at other restaurants serving local dishes.
For the Vegetable Lover:
- Cucumbers, often combined with green papaya or cabbage, stewed with corned beef (see our recipe page)
Fried plantains - Try tasty fried plantains, or a sweet soup made from plantains and vegetables, seasoned with peppers and cinnamon (see our recipe page)
Promèntè - Small, colorful hot peppers and pickled onions
Holiday Fare:
Savoury meat tamales wrapped in banana leaves. This dish is served especially at Christmas time.
KeshiYená - Stuffed cheese (see our recipe page). Possibly Curaçao's most famous dish.
Bolo pretu - Black fruit cake (see our recipe page).
Sunchi -
Meringue "kisses," made of sugar, egg whites, and food coloring (see our recipe page)
Panseiku - A kind of praline: toasted peanuts and almond essence, cooked in a brittle glaze of dark brown sugar.
Kokada - Freshly grated coconut patties, held together in a sugar syrup, tinted with food coloring for a festive look.
These sweets can be purchased at the New Market in Punda.

Bayer CropScience, Ducks Unlimited Canada and new partner Richardson International Limited have founded the Western Winter Wheat Initiative.
The Western Winter Wheat Initiative is an organization formed to promote the production of winter wheat in Western Canada. Winter wheat is a highly profitable crop that has many benefits for growers. The Western Winter Wheat Initiative is founded on the belief that winter wheat is a valuable crop for Western Canada, and its goal is to be a support system for farmers who want to grow winter wheat.
"This new initiative builds on our previous partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada by supporting and expanding winter wheat production across Western Canada," says Paul Thiel, vice-president of innovation and public affairs with Bayer CropScience. "We are excited to have Richardson International now on board in support of this new winter wheat initiative as they bring extensive knowledge of the ag sector with their agronomy, sales, and grain merchandising units," he adds.
Funding from the Richardson Foundation as part of their Healthy Prairie Landscapes initiative allows Richardson International to be a key player in the promotion of winter wheat across the Prairies.
"There is tremendous potential in increasing winter wheat production across Western Canada as the crop offers many benefits to producers," says Peter Entz, assistant vice-president of seed and traits for Richardson International. "The Western Winter Wheat Initiative will focus on performance tracking trials across the three Prairie provinces in 2014 and we are proud to say Richardson International's Kelburn Farm will be one of these important sites."
"We have been an advocate for the crop for many years," says Paul Thoroughgood, regional agrologist for Ducks Unlimited Canada. "Winter wheat is a great fit in cropping rotations and with the new varieties that are available, along with improved agronomic practices, it is one of the highest performing and highest returning crops on the Prairies right now."
One of the Western Winter Wheat Initiatives first support tactics is a new interactive and comprehensive website that encompasses statistics on the benefits of growing winter wheat, guidelines to winter wheat management, and tools to support winter wheat production. Visit www.growwinterwheat.ca to learn more.
The Western Winter Wheat Initiative is using the Western Canadian Crop Production Show in Saskatoon, SK this week as its official kick off. Be sure to visit our booth (B 31-32) at this show as well as at Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon, MB (Jan. 21-23) and FarmTech in Edmonton, AB (Jan. 28-30) to learn more about this new partnership or to talk to one of our winter wheat agronomists about this must grow crop.


text: Today I was thinking about post-Peace Corps service and what it was going to be like going back to the states. I tried to imagine the reverse culture shock that I hear so much about and how it was going to affect me. I started to think about all the things I really love and miss about the States and it really got me thinking about my experience in Namibia thus far. Don't get me wrong, I love America. I never realized how truly wonderful it is until coming here. I miss so much about it that I often daydream about the things I used to have, or write lists of the foods I'm going to eat or the things I'm going to do when I return. Mostly I miss my family and friends, which in a way are America, but I know mean so much more to me than just location. I miss what is comfortable to me, I miss the familiar, I miss all of the wonderful things I've spent twenty-three years finding, experiencing and loving. But I also love Namibia. What had begun as a love/hate kind of relationship has turned more into a love/appreciate sort of relationship. I absolutely do get frustrated with certain things here and I definitely do not like some things about Namibia…but in the most important ways I am really loving my experience here and I appreciate Nam for all it has to offer – the good, the bad, the totally unexpected. I'm not in a hut in the middle of the bush doing tribal dances around a fire like I had prepared for…but I am living in a really great community, I have resources which will help make my time here extremely productive and I have lots of traditional experiences available in other parts of the country. This place may not be what I expected, but it has become something that I have learned to love. I love that in Namibia my life just seems so much more peaceful than it was in America. Peace Corps…I know…seems logical…but I know other volunteers that may not feel the same. I feel like I'm finally living the holistic life I always strived for but seemed to fall just short of. I have a home, work that I enjoy, friends (even if they are at least an hour and fifteen minutes away)…I exercise, I read, garden, create, cook, travel, plan and feel needed. I don't worry about money or the future too much and I don't stress over my appearance or what people think of me. The only thing that is really missing is the people I care about and those bits of home that were so important to me. In America, I remember feeling like no matter how hard I worked there was going to be someone better than me and a part of myself pushing to achieve more. I remember feeling like whenever I was able to get one part of my life under control another would evade my grasp. I remember worrying too much about what others thought of me and specifically how I looked. I remember being surrounded by media that focuses on the negative things happening in the world with little to no nod to the wonderful things happening or even just an appreciation of the amazing things this world has to offer. I remember even when I was making a decent amount of money and paying all my bills that I would need to find a way to get more. I remember hearing people complain about their smartphones or what they wanted but couldn't have. I remember people fighting over things that in the end just don't matter. I remember people not appreciating all of the good things that come with being a US citizen and a member of a 1st world country; nonetheless, a hegemony. Definitely a part of this experience is meant for me to realize all of these things. To understand a different way of living, a new way of life, a new host of problems and ideas that revolve around a different theme than my own past life. A newer understanding of what it means to be successful. A perspectival lens to filter my own life through and decide what's really important. How can I complain about the comfortable life I led before when people here don't even have a proper home to go to? How could I feel inadequate when my education is one of the best in the world and I didn't even have to pay a cent until college? Will I ever be able to relate to another person again when I feel like now I see things so differently? These are the questions I'm constantly asking myself and something I'm not sure there is really an answer to. The best of both worlds is really the situation I am in now. I have US citizenship. I can return to all the comforts of home, all that is familiar and to the people I love. With me will come this new understanding – this enlightened way of thinking. I honestly feel as though Namibia will have given me far greater a gift than my two years of service could have ever given Namibia. It may be extremely frustrating to hear the remarks of others or go back to a place where maybe I'll never quite fit in again…but it's a small price to pay for the growth I've experienced thus far and intend to continue during my service. I need to find a way to reconcile my previous life, ambitions, values, and goals…with that of my Namibian life…my Peace Corps experience. Eventually I hope to find a place where I can not only focus on, but be uplifted by, all of the wonderful things that I have come to love in both places. I'll have known another world, and if all goes as planned, I will hopefully be able to create my own hybrid world so that I will never have to let go of either of the places I love. Namerica.

Childhood Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is a bone tumor that consists of malignant cells that produce immature bone. It is the most common type of bone cancer in children and adolescents and affects more males than females. Nearly 80% of osteosarcomas appear in the distal femur, the portion of the thigh bone closest to the knee, or the proximal tibia, the lower leg bone near the knee. Osteosarcoma may also develop in the proximal humerus, the upper arm bone connected to the shoulder.
Of all childhood cancers, osteosarcoma is rare, but it is the most common bone tumor in children; it affects approximately 400 children under age 20 every year.
Osteosarcomas are classified as low, intermediate or high-grade tumors. A low-grade osteosarcoma has few dividing cells in the tumor, while a high-grade osteosarcoma is filled with dead tumor cells. Most tumors that occur in children are high-grade.
If your child has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, we're here to help. Call 1-877-632-6789 to make an appointment or request an appointment online.

3.6/5 rDev -2.2%
12 oz. bottle poured into a Burley Oak snifter (3/26/14)
A: Quickly dissipated head with almost no lacing. Only a slight head upon swirling. Dark brown with an amber tinge.
S: Lots of coconut and caramel with just a bit of chocolate. The smells get a lot better with warmth. It is predominately that of caramel, but roasted/burnt/caramelized. I get a lot of flan/custard/creme brulee.
T: A nice caramel flavor to this. Tastes like a caramel/sweet brown ale. I get almost no coconut, and probably wouldn't know it was here if it wasn't advertised as such. Coconut is a subtle flavor and hard to get across. I could see it as being the roasted coconut on top of a dessert.
M: Quite slight with only a tinge of carbonation.
O: Decent. I suspect this will become somewhat popular due to the name, advertising and marketing behind it, just like with Sweet Baby Jesus. I'm steadily going through their stuff so that I can give them a fair shot, me living/being from MD and all.

3.49/5 rDev -5.2%
A: Dark coppery pour with a dark beige, thin, whispy head that was opaque in the vessel. No lacing, some signs of carbonation around the edges.
S: Aroma of dry scotch and caramel, spicy with some fruity sultanas and strong indications of rootbeer candy. Some sugar-rum coffee additions.
T: Deep caramelized sweetness, peat with a light smokiness, originally mistook this for a scotch ale at first. Sweet figs and raisins with a touch of honey-munich sweetness. Toasty buttered oak, hazelnut coffee with some butterscotch sweetness. Lastly there is some sweet cola and rootbeer twang on the finish.
M: Buttery creamy, mid-heavy thickness, that was softly carbonated.
O: Overall a sweetly caramelized malting similar to a scotch ale, a sweet brown ale that may be a bit much in multiples but is interesting for a take.

3/5 rDev -18.5%
A - Slightly less than a finger's worth of fizzy off-white colored head... Minimal retention gives way to a thin yet full veil of lacing... The color is a deep dark slightly menacing brown... There is a decent bit of light that leaks in around the edges... Largely still with a couple of small bubbled carbonation streaks seen towards the top of the glass...
S - Wow... Like walking into a gourmet candy store... This literally smells like a freshly opened box of Samoa girl scout cookies... Bursting at the seems with coconut... Sweet milk chocolate... Undertones of caramel and toffee... This one smells 100% percent like desert and 0% like beer... Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing at this point...
T - The sweetness begins to dissipate on the palate a bit... The coconut is dialed up several notches... The milk chocolate is dialed down a slight bit... There is a very subtle hop presence which really challenges the palate and is almost slightly off-putting... There is also a light smoke presence on the finish... I expected very sweet and slightly cloying, but this one is off the charts...
M - On the lighter side of medium bodied... The flavor profile makes this one a sipper... Brisk carbonation... Interesting, but rather challenging... The finish is slightly unpleasant - inducing an almost cotton mouth like presence...
D - A unique marriage of beer and desert... The aroma is dynamite, but the overall flavor profile struggles a tiny bit... This one gets an "A" for effort, but a "C+" for execution... Another funky offering from DuClaw, a brewery who's experimentation really impresses me time and time again... However, the experimentation doesn't always work... Recommended for the curious and those who want to see what the outer boundaries of beer look like... However, not sure this is something I will seek out again on my own...

Updated 4:00 PM CST: A woman who saw the accident and called 911 says the driver's daughters were frantic.
"They were running around, not knowing what to do," says Lisa Place. "They had already called the police, but I wanted to make sure, because things can get really chaotic, so I wanted to make sure someone had called."
Both the home's renter and owner were away at the time of the crash.
Place says her heart goes out to those who are now left with the mess.
"I feel so terrible," says Place. "This is Christmas and this is horrible to happen to anybody - anybody."

A young director is spicing up the local theater circuit with a new company that she hopes will become a staple in the community.
When Ramsey resident Danielle VanKampen graduated from Ramapo College last May, the actor/director knew she wanted to use her talents to give back to the community in more ways than one.
"I compete in pageants, and I am planning to compete for Miss America," VanKampen told Patch. "For that, you need a platform and a cause or an organization that you want to support. I knew what I was passionate about, so I thought I'd form my own."
Last year, VanKampen's theater company, Per4ming heARTS, was born.
The idea behind the company is unique – it fosters the growth of local community theater for both area actors and potential audiences. Per4ming heARTS also uses each show it puts on as an excuse to donate money to a local non-profit.
"I have auditioned for shows all over the place," she said. "I've traveled two or three hours away to audition for community theater shows, and I felt there wasn't as much of an opportunity in this area."
Plus, VanKampen, a 2008 Ramsey High School grad, said the theater and music programs at local high schools and Ramapo College are breeding good actors who need a place to perform.
Because the community is such a central part of her project, VanKampen said she felt involving community organizations was a perfect fit.
"A portion of our proceeds from tickets and concession sales is donated to a local charity," she explained. "We will choose a new charity with each show."
The Per4ming heARTS debut show, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown opens this weekend at the First Presbyterian Church in Ramsey. Most of its stars are current Ramapo College theater students.
Charlie Brown: Peter McPherson
Snoopy: Brian Petty
Sally Brown: Traci Cidlik
Lucy Van Pelt: Rachel Valovcin
Linus Van Pelt: Craig Wolfe
Schroder: A.J. Minutillo
"I chose the show because it has a small cast, and I thought it'd be a good one for our debut," VanKampen said.
She also worked with the deacons at the Church to choose a charity to benefot from the company's inaugural show. Hearts and Crafts, a counseling center that helps young people deal with grief through art, will be the show's beneficiary.
Eventually, VanKampen said she hopes the company will expand, put on more shows, and maybe even open its own theater space that could offer acting classes and other opportunities for community theater. But for now, the 22-year-old director who is also pursuing grad school and working at a gymnastics studio in Hawthorne, said directing her company's first show is exciting enough.
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown runs this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for students and seniors and $15 for children. Contact (551)427-5540 or email@example.com for tickets.

An obvious clean slab off the highway. Among the classic namesake, there are a couple routes in the area. Totally worth coming just for Twinkle Toes and I imagine that's all most people do.
Getting There
Between mile marker 110.5 and 111 (or something like that) there is a nice parking lot to the south of the crag on the cliff side of the road. Look for the clean slab.

A pretty sweet and steep crack that ends after 30' or so. The route then goes up and right on very crappy rock to sh*t anchor in more crappy rock.The pure crack climbing on the lower half is actually really cool and unique for the highway but, unfortunately, the upper half is just so loose. It's easy but terrifying, even for the highway. I'd vote for an anchor after the crack ends even though the route would be pretty short. r and x rated the way it is imho... still worth doing though...[more] Browse More Classics in AK

It's been so long since Cascada copped Lady Gaga's sound — case in point: "Evacuate The Dancefloor," "Pyromania," "Night Nurse," etc. etc. — we were starting to wonder what was up! But sadly for the "Judas" songstress, the German dance act appears to have shifted its attention to another chart-topping American pop tart: Katy Perry. Watch Cascada's "San Francisco" video below, and decide whether or not you think California gurls should be snapping Natalie Horler & Co. with their beach towels.
It's been so long since we've heard an original-sounding single from Cascada (have we ever, really?) that it's a wonder how this borderline karaoke act keeps getting away with their sound-alike shenanigans. But, hey — it's been a full year since the release of Katy's "California Gurls." Surely everyone's already forgotten it by now, right?
"Wake me up in San Francisco," Horler chirps over the chorus. More appropriate lyrics might be "wake me up when the next NOW compilation arrives." After all, how's a girl to decide what to sing next?
We eagerly await your variations of Britney Spears' Femme Fatale jams this time next year, Cascada!

If you believe Mark Buehrle and his agent -- and why wouldn't you?! -- Buehrle was both shocked and annoyed about getting traded to the Blue Jays. Some choice quotes, via Mark Berardino:
"I'm upset with how things turned out in Miami," Buehrle said. "Just like the fans in South Florida, I was lied to on multiple occasions. But I'm putting it behind me and looking forward to moving on with my career."
"In an off-season of change and uncertainty, the overriding factor in Mark's signing with Miami was Ozzie Guillen and the level of comfort his presence provided Mark and his family," (agent Jeff) Barry said in his statement. "While the Marlins were the highest bidder, baseball had already made Mark a wealthy man, so money was far from the most important factor in his decision.
"Throughout the recruiting process, the Marlins made repeated assurances about their long-term commitment to Mark and his family and their long-term commitment to building a winning tradition of Marlins baseball in the new stadium. This was demonstrated by their already completed signings of Ozzie, Heath Bell and Jose Reyes.
"At the same time, given the Marlins' history, we were all certainly aware of and voiced concern about the lack of no-trade protection. This is unquestionably a business, and signing with the Marlins was a calculated risk. Mark held up his end of the bargain; unfortunately, the same can't be said of the Marlins."
Just want to get this straight ... The Marlins were the highest bidder and he signed with them mostly because of Ozzie Guillen's steady hand? What a happy coincidence that was!
There's a part of me that can't help admiring the Marlins. I hate no-trade clauses. If I'm running a baseball team, I want as few fetters as possible.*
* Except from 1992 through '97, when Mike Fetters was really good.
And there are few things more fettering than a no-trade clause when, you know, you're trying to make a trade. You can usually still get something done, but it generally takes more time and costs more money. Granted, you'll often spend more on the front end, essentially buying a no-trade clause by making a slightly larger offer in the first place. But in addition to the added flexibility at the back end (or the middle) of the contract, there's also the benefit of not setting a precedent. If you hand out one no-trade clause, then all the agents will ask for one. When you've got a policy, you can just shrug and say, "Sorry, man. You know I would just love to give you that one, but my hands are tied. We've got a policy."
Now, if you're Larry Beinfest you might say to yourself, "Larry-self, the policy's irrelevant now, because we'll never be able to sign another top-notch free agent again. Not after the Great Fire Sale of 2012."
And then you'll start giggling, and the giggles will quickly become a paroxysm of guffaws. Because you realize that when it's once again time to become the highest bidder, the free agents and their agents will come running. Just like they always have, and always will.

Nebraska is at the highest point in a decade for child poverty, and the welfare of at–risk children is on the line.
The numbers are shocking and officials who released them say something has to be done to help needy children, because they can't help themselves.
"Just one foot in front of the other, you just gotta keep going," Jaquita Baren said, a 29–year–old mother of three.
She said, sometimes, she wonders how she'll get food on the table for the next meal.
"Even though I've always kept a job and worked really hard, sometimes even two and three jobs, I've never been financially stable on my own," Barens said.
Her family's not alone. Nearly one if five kids in our state lives in poverty. But Barens' kids are lucky. They have a mother who is fighting for them, something a lot of Nebraska kids don't have.
In the Kids Count in Nebraska Report released by Voices for Children in Nebraska, they reported that every day, 14 kids experience some sort of maltreatment. That's the highest point in a decade.
Because of that, twice as many kids are taken out of their Nebraska homes and put into the system than the national average. But Voices for Children said that might not always be the best solution.
"So we really need to look at this data and figure out what we can do to first strengthen families to prevent abuse and neglect from ever happening," Baren said.
If taking a child out of the home is the only answer, they say the system that gets kids another place to stay needs to improve. If the kids get back with their parents, there needs to be government help to keep them there, safe, and happy.
As for barens, who grew up in foster homes, she's trying to break the cycle of poverty with her children.
"If I'm stressing about it or if it's a situation that I know I might not have a 100 percent handle on it, if I don't know how our next meal is going to come, I try not to make that obvious to my children so that they don;'t have to carry that burden on their shoulders," Barens said.
A few bills have already been introduced this session to help children in poverty, and there are more to come.
Voices for Children said this report is meant to be a tool for legislators to enact laws that will improve the lives of kids.

If you're walking around downtown
Whitehouse, you may see some colorful butterflies, but they're not flying. They're
decorated fiberglass figures that have been installed in the downtown district.
After two years of planning,
the "Wings around Whitehouse" butterfly project is finally a reality. There are
27 fiberglass butterflies altogether. Each was purchased by a sponsor who either
decorated it themselves or hired an artist.
Five schools from the Anthony
Wayne, Toledo and Maumee Bay area designed and decorated butterflies, as well.
The project is the second
public art display to enhance downtown Whitehouse, and local business owners
are encouraging people to take a look.
"They're all pretty colorful,
and very unique to each business," said Tony Fronk, owner of The Whitehouse
Inn. "We've noticed some different people all around town, and they have been
taking a look at them. It's been welcoming."
An official unveiling of the
butterflies, including introductions of all artists and sponsors, will be held
on Saturday, June 8 at 7 p.m. There will also be a free concert in the park and
radio-controlled boat races in the quarry.
For more information, visit the Whitehouse website here.

Following the elections in Greece and France, the euro continued to fall and reached a fresh four-month low on Tuesday, hitting a trough of $1.2643. It was hurt by worries that the Geek political parties could not be able once again to form a government at the forthcoming second elections in June. The euro continued to be under pressure as fears of a messy Greek exit from the euro zone weighed on the euro and kept the single currency pinned near a recent four-month low.
The leader of Greece's Left Coalition party SIRIZA said last Tuesday that the country's commitment to a European Union and IMF rescue plans had become null and void.
Anti-bailout parties performed well in Greece's vote on May 05, 2012, thus raising the risk of more opposition to already unpopular reforms. Greece's two leading pro-bailout political parties failed to win a majority in elections and to form a government, posing questions over the country's ability to prevent bankruptcy and stay in the euro-zone.
Investors were focused on Greece, where second round of election were scheduled to be held on 17 June 2012 after a coalition government was unable to be formed following the May and this threw the country into political crisis and increased the risk of euro zone exit.
The euro's drop had accelerated the previous day after Dow Jones quoted former prime minister Lucas Papademos as saying Greece had no choice but to stick with a painful austerity program or face a damaging exit from the euro zone, a risk he said was unlikely to materialize but was real.
"The (Papademos) comments were like very strong poison, and the market got flung around by them," said Satoshi Okagawa, senior global markets analyst for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation in Singapore.
The elections results made doubtful the EU/IMF aid package, negotiated in May 2012. As a result of the deal 86% of private creditors agreed to participate in the transaction, totalling 172 billion euros and and lost 74% of their assets. This way Greece secured a second bailout after the first one in 2010 when the country received 110 billion euros bailout and in return its lenders have attached strict conditions to the loan.
"There's potential for uncertainty and instability in Europe," said John Praveen, managing director of Prudential International Investment Advisors in Newark, New Jersey. "The market is pricing in extremely negative scenarios."
"One issue is whether this will cause investors to shun risk globally, or be viewed as the euro's problem alone and just lead to weakness in the euro," said Koji Fukaya, director of global foreign exchange research for Credit Suisse Securities in Tokyo.
While the common currency might not fall very sharply since market participants have already placed bearish bets on the Euro, it may continue to slide down to $1.28 over the coming weeks.
The euro dipped to around $1.2643 earlier, very close to last week's four-month trough of $1.2642, and not far from a 2012 low of $1.2624 set in January. A drop below the January low would take the euro to its lowest level since August 2010.
The results of the presidential elections in France also raised the political tensions and contributed to the slump of the euro. The elected Socialist French President Francois Hollande has advocated an approach to tackling the debt crisis centered more on growth, which may raise tensions with Germany's persistence on fiscal austerity. Markets are looking to see if Hollandewill be capable to square France's need for economic and fiscal reforms together with his announced projects to promote growth.

I use plastic cling wrap. Apart from protecting the lens it seems to have good static properties that draw the dust out of my lens. Plus from experience growing up it kept fungus out of my lunch so I think same applies for a lens, my sardine sandwiches never went green even if I didn't fancy them for a few days.
You buy a US$ 2,XXX lens and then use cling wrap (presume that is the same as cling film)? Why not just get a good filter?

Quibbles aside, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones are a modestly improved version of the already spectacular model they're based on, and among the best-sounding pairs you'll find for less than $200.
With comparably good sound for its size and the addition of speakerphone features, the Sony SRS-X3 mini Bluetooth speaker measures up well against the pricier Bose SoundLink Mini.

One-hour NAAQS for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)Author: Jeffrey Barwick | Category: Civil Environmental Engineer, Environmental Consulting
On June 22, 2010, the EPA revised the Code of Federal Regulations pertaining to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) emissions. The changes significantly strengthened EPA's regulation of SO2 emissions from industry. Some changes of particular importance include the following.
- EPA has removed the former NAAQS for SO2, which were based on 24-hour and one-year averaging techniques; however, this removal is not indicative a "loosening" of environmental regulation.
- In place of the former NAAQS for SO2, EPA has promulgated a 1-hour standard of 75-parts per billion.
- EPA, in a fact sheet on the change, stated the new 1-hour standard would continue to prevent SO2 concentrations from exceeding the (now) former 24-hour and annual health-based standards.
- The revisions described above are termed "primary" standards by EPA
- There will be further rules, under development now, which will be termed "secondary" standards. Secondary standards will impose further regulation on SO2 emissions.
Facilities that use air dispersion modeling to demonstrate compliance will most likely face significant difficulties meeting the 1-hour concentration of 75-ppb. At this time, there are still several unknown factors related to the implementation of the primary standards rule, including upgrades to the United States' air quality monitoring infrastructure that may be required, and the designation of many more "non-attainment areas" for SO2 as a result of the new standards.
However, the more stringent standards will doubtless present compliance challenges to industries that emit SOx as part of their process(es). If you have any questions about what you need to do to comply with the SO2 NAAQS, please feel free to contact me at (803) 376-6034 ext. 6105.

The cornerstone of any healthy breakfast is the foundation of Kellogg's Cereal City USA, a themed attraction that traces how the ideas of John H. Kellogg eventually wound up in supermarkets all over the world. Based in Battle Creek, MI, the birthplace of the Kellogg's Corn Flake and the site of its inventor's famed sanitarium, Cereal City USA is the latest in a series of corporate visitor centers from Cincinnati-based Jack Rouse Associates (JRA), which has also worked with Hershey, CNN, Turner, Delta Airlines, and Volkswagen on projects that mix business with show business.
With Kellogg's Cereal City, JRA had a bowl full of ingredients to work with. Innovative marketing and advertising since the 1920s have spawned a variety of characters, from Corny the Rooster to Tony the Tiger, that easily make the transition from the cereal box to the themed arena. Rob Morgan, JRA's design director, says the more challenging part of Cereal City was living up to fond memories of Kellogg's factory tours, which attracted up to 400,000 visitors per year before coming to an end in 1986.
The Kellogg Heritage Foundation, made up largely of company retirees, had long wanted to reinstate some sort of "edutainment" at Battle Creek, and in 1996 contracted JRA to add two scoops of expertise. Rob Morgan, JRA's design director, says its first recommendation was to scrap the warehouse that had housed the old tour, to build from the ground up the combination of fun and facts the foundation envisioned. JRA's entire staff of 60, including writers, designers, graphic artists, and architects, were enlisted to develop the $18 million attraction. Cereal City houses 45,000 sq. ft. of interactive exhibits, historical artifacts (including a roster of toy premiums, which Kellogg's started adding in the boxes in the 1930s), theatrical presentations, a play area for kids and, the centerpiece, a simulated production line that takes the place of the factory tour.
"Cereal City was quite a luxury for us, because we had almost total control over the direction of the storyline and the architecture at the same time," Morgan says. A concerted team effort by JRA staffers and a few key subcontractors helped to complete the city for opening day, which was last June 1. "It was a fast build, but the foundation had clear objectives so it came together quite quickly."
A stay at Cereal City begins outside the building (brickfaced in "Kellogg red") with a program entitled "From the Field to the Factory." A silo-shaped talking glockenspiel (with mechanisms created by the Verdin Co. of Cincinnati) relates how Battle Creek's agrarian past shaped the development of the cereal industry. This introduction sets up the three-part interior walk-through, called "From the Factory to You." The heart of the project, located in the three-story volume of the building's atrium, is the stainless-steel production line.
"The line depicts the processing of Corn Flakes, from raw material to boxing to shipping preparations; guests get a cupful of warm Corn Flakes along the way," Morgan explains. "This was part of the old tour, which we couldn't entirely approximate, given its vast scale and our space restrictions. But we used as many of the visual and sensory cues as we could to simulate the process and put together a satisfying tour." A soundtrack that JRA created pours a factory-floor feeling over the "flaky" environment, to which Kellogg's donated used equipment, and Maltbie Associates of Mount Laurel, NJ, and Material Handling Services of Baltimore provided fabrication and conveyance systems, respectively.
Guests depart the production line for a historical timeline, which stretches back to cereal experimentation in ancient Egypt and Rome before alighting on John Kellogg and his radical notions about health, diet, and exercise, leading to the "Eureka!" moment of the dawn of the Corn Flake and its puffed and popped brethren. The timeline also touches on Kellogg's humanitarian efforts during the Depression and the promotion of its brands through the century's media outlets. "They're very proud of him and his work," Morgan says. (As might be expected, there is no timeline entry for The Road to Wellville, a book, and subsequent film, that took aim at Kellogg's unconventional notions.)
Kellogg's is best known for its troupe of characters, integral to the company's marketing since Snap! Crackle! and Pop! exploded onto the Rice Krispies box late in the Depression Era. The ground-breaking trio, and the ones who followed, reside within Cereal City, a stylized, cartoon-like village with cobblestone streets that is "very intentionally bright, colorful, and cheerful," in contrast to the more muted production line and timeline. Here visitors, like flakes in milk, can further immerse themselves in Kellogg's lore. "The branded characters are used carefully, and not without a lot of discussion with the company," says Morgan. Most are featured as 2D representations, with a "live" Tony the Tiger popping by to occasionally greet weekend visitors.
An animated Snap! Crackle! and Pop!, along with Tony, co-host the Best to You Revue, a theatrical show where up to 70 guests sit atop an outsized breakfast table in a typical Michigan farmhouse setting. Bob Keeshan of Captain Kangaroo fame toplines a film and video presentation about Kellogg's advertising in a second theatre adjoining Cereal City. A third theatre fronts the timeline and explains some of its highlights. Scenic Services of Utah provided some of the sets and theatrical painting in these and other areas of Cereal City, which also sports slides and tunnels (with oversized cereal-box and spoon facades) in a kids' play area.
The attraction features a variety of exhibit lighting, arranged by Available Light of Boston. Senior designer Kathy Abernathy says the illumination ranges from a "sepia, 'historical' kind of light" for the timeline to "Froot Loops" hues for the streets of Cereal City. "We highlight the signage in the production line, but not with much color; the goal was to keep it as realistic-looking as possible, so you feel like you're in the real plant," she says. Elsewhere, Cereal City becomes more theatrical, with a complement of SMPTE-cued ETC Source Fours, and, in the Best to You Revue, gobos featuringthe Kellogg's characters, mounted on Martin 518s. Available Light also handled some of the specialty lighting for the exterior, illuminating JRA-designed signage visible from a distant highway in the evenings.
"In terms of overall integration of a project, Cereal City ranks No. 1 with me," says Morgan, a 10-year veteran of JRA. "We were able to bring all our resources to bear on it, which is very satisfying for all involved." With the building blocks of nutrition up and running in Battle Creek, JRA is focusing on blocks of another kind, working on Legoland in Carlsbad, CA, for a Spring opening.

vacation rental description
~~ Lakeside Getaway Features Cozy Lake-Front Cottage and Sunrise Views ~~
~~ Fishing, boating, swimming, plus Mackinaw Island ferries just a short drive away ~~
Our Lakeside Getaway sits directly on the western shore of beautiful Black Lake, a 3x6 mile, all-sports lake only minutes away from Cheboygan, Mackinac City, and other Great Lake destinations like Mackinac Island, Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Bright and cheery both inside and out, you can watch the sunrise over Black Mountain Recreation Area just across the lake.
Bring your boat and tie up at our 50-foot dock, or swim from the shoreline or dock (water's warm, and lake bottom is sandy). Just toss in a line to catch small perch, bass or bluegill. Jet-skis and other water toys can be rented also with off-lake vendors.
If you are looking for bigger sport fish such as walleye, pike, small mouth bass or muskie, try your luck out in the lake's deeper parts. Black Lake is known for its fishing. Right off our shoreline, about 200 yards where the dropoff begins, is one of the best places to catch perch, walleye and pike. We have had many fish-fries ourselves.
You'll love to relax around our lakeside fire pit in the evenings and roast marshmallows to make s'mores, then watch the moon rise over the lake.

Hi all,
I'd like to start a thread dealing with the subject of statues in cities, I may be "hors sujet†on this as I'm not sure if the theme should be disused on a forum devoted to architecture.
I would like to read your views on the role they play for example in embellishing a street or square; are there statues that do not have their place and could be replaced with something more aesthetic such as a fountain, obelisk etc.?
I think it was Benjamin Franklin who, during his 10 or so years working as a diplomat in Paris before the American Revolution, said he disliked the many statues he saw in the city at that period, he thought they were incompatible with the ideal of a republic and would be against their being erected in the new republic that would soon see the light of day in America
Benjamin Franklin apart, (whose statue ironically, can be seen in many cities throughout the world), I'm really interested in the aesthetic value they can bring to a public place and if there should be more or less of them.
Thank you for your comments.

|Just a Thought - There's no place like home
|Monday, April 09, 2012 8:17 AM
I bawled the night we signed the papers. After our realtor left, of course. I didn't want her to think I was crazy. I know our house has been on the market a while, so I shouldn't be shocked by this. But it's suddenly — real. I'm suddenly freaking out, having cold feet, having a hard time letting go. I love this house.
I remember how I felt walking into this house for the first time, precariously taking everything in and then oohing and aahing at the vintage chandeliers and high ceilings, the hardwood floors and gorgeous, intricately-carved wooden staircase and stained-glass window until I could feel excitement surging inside me, threatening to spill out. I knew it. This was "The One."
I remember the first night we stayed here. Adele was still little enough that, as Andy and I attempted to sleep on the air mattress upstairs in what would become our bedroom, I tossed and turned all night, eventually just lying there wide awake, afraid that Adele would wake up in the night and accidentally tumble down the hardwood stairs.
We didn't have air conditioning at first, so I remember staring out the window into the night sky, listening to the hum of insects and rustling of tree branches against the sound of the fan whirring in our room, making an effort to reduce some of the uncomfortable humidity.
This is the house we painted, every room, spending hours pouring over paint samples, deciding on just the right colors. This is the house where I smiled when I felt Eleanor's first kicks from inside me, placing Andy's hand over my protruding belly so he could feel it and smile, too. This is the house that we brought newborn Eleanor home from the hospital. The house where she learned to roll over, to crawl, to walk, to speak. Will she even remember this house?
My kids seem to love this house as much as I do. They've spent endless hours running from room to room, the hard sound of their feet against the hardwood echoing throughout the downstairs. I've spent so much time just simply looking around while sitting in my house, taking in its beauty and history, the more than 100-year-old original woodwork causing me to audibly gasp with admiration every time. Have I mentioned I love this house?
So, no, goodbye has not been easy. I didn't know I would already cry the very night we signed the papers, signifying the sale. From there, I've already gone through so many emotions. At times I feel like a jilted lover. Watching a new family take possession of my house is like seeing an ex-boyfriend I haven't gotten over, parading around holding hands with someone new. I also feel as if I'm giving a baby up for adoption and I want to know these people will take good care of her the way I did. I'm sure this all sounds silly.
But still, am I ready to pack everything up in boxes, to transport what will fit into the tiny apartment we'll be renting until, in the words of Greenday, "time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go"? Like when ending a relationship with someone I've clearly loved yet have realized that it's just not going to work long-term, I'm now having second thoughts. What if there isn't one better than this out there for us?
What I have to remember is that a happy family is ready to move into this house and they're as excited as I was when we first found out this house was ours. I also know the only way we'll ever end up where we're meant to stay cannot happen unless we sell this house. As I pack up our belongings in boxes, I have to focus — not on what we're leaving behind — but what we're moving toward. I really just have to focus on the reality that it is a house. A thing. The people I love will always be with me, no matter where we end up. I want to focus on the road ahead, as uncertain as it may be. What the house represents to me is comfort, stability, memories. It's not so much the house itself — as much as I do love it — it's what the house signifies and that's why I've become emotionally attached.
From here, we can find a new place to make more memories. And once in a while maybe even recall the wonderful days this house has brought us.

An alternative solution might be for the PHP code to send back the name of a script file which you can then add to your page.Programming Group Advisor

I guess an example could be, if you're using ajax with the GET method,
Code PHP:
<?php $x = $_GET['x'] echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\"> document.write(\"" . $x . "\"); </script>"; ?>
Something along those lines. You can evaluate with javascript all you want.
Now the problem comes when you want to evaluate something in javascript, and then use it by the php code, like adding in javascript and assigning to a php variable, instead of the way I can do it, which is the other way around. Not to say it's impossible, but I've never tried it.
The result of the above code will write that snippet of javascript to the page that is using the ajax to call this file. So on that page, the javascript can do whatever it wants. On the page with the php, however, it is really just treated as html, not as a scripting language.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat lost again in Thursday's Game 5 of the 2011 NBA FInals, and once again, we're left to wonder whether James was too passive. He had a triple-double, but with just two points in the fourth quarter on a bucket in garbage time, the assault on his stardom, his status and his on-court courage will continue.
There's no doubt that James certainly hurt his team by not being a factor offensively in the fourth quarter. But the major reason Miami lost Game 5 was because of what happened on the other end. The Heat's offense functioned well, even though LeBron disappeared. It scored 115.7 points per 100 possessions and fought back into the game in the fourth quarter with a series of beautiful pick-and-roll plays that used James and Dwyane Wade as decoys to get easy layups for big men like Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem.
The problem was on the other end. Miami surrendered 125.8 points per 100 possessions in the loss, a number that would be obscene even for a regular-season game. To a certain extent, the Mavericks were just hitting tough shots they have missed most of the series, but that doesn't come close to explaining the whole story. Dallas' half-court offense had finally figured out how to attack Miami's pressure, altering their pick and roll locations and figuring out how to get Jason Terry and J.J. Barea in the lane. There were subtle adjustments that made huge dividends.
Miami's strategy and matchups on defense have been consistent all series. But in light of the way Dallas picked it apart, especially down the stretch of the fourth quarter, it might be time for a change. It might be time for the Heat to do what Steve Nash suggested and put LeBron James on Dirk Nowitzki at the end of games.
This isn't an adjustment the Heat should make because it's the only way James can prove his worth. This is an adjustment they should make because it's the most obvious way they can throw the Mavericks' late-game offense off balance.
The problem Miami faces now is that Dallas has figured them out. James has guarded Jason Terry in the fourth quarter of these Finals. The theory at the time was twofold: Terry's fourth-quarter scoring is a huge key to Dallas, maybe even more of a key than stopping Nowitzki; and James could lock down a perimeter threat like he locked down Derrick Rose down the stretch in the Chicago series. It was fair logic, and it worked for a while.
But in Game 5, Dallas ran Terry through more off-ball screens and sent different big men to set screens for him. The difference between Terry and Rose is that Terry needs to be accounted for more off the ball in late-game situations than Rose ever did. In a one-on-one, isolation setting, LeBron can shut him down, but Dallas did a lot of things to make sure that didn't happen. That tired LeBron out.
Dallas also kept LeBron guessing once Terry caught the ball. Sometimes, Terry dumped it into Nowitzki and went to the weakside. Sometimes, Tyson Chandler came and set a screen, like he did on Terry's key three to tie the game at 100. Sometimes, Terry faked right, his preferred direction, and then drove left, which is what he did to give Jason Kidd a key three to put Dallas up five. Sometimes, he pulled up and shot it, like he did on the dagger he hit with 33 seconds left. The multitude of different looks confused James, and he came up short defending Terry because of it.
This is a long way of saying that James is much better in an isolation, one-on-one setting than when he has to chase a man around off the ball. So why switch him to Dirk? For one thing, what Miami is doing now isn't working. Nowitzki has figured out 2006 Finals nemesis Udonis Haslem, especially with his movements off the ball. Putting Haslem on Nowitzki down the stretch has also robbed Miami of its smartest help defender, and the off-ball confusion that has resulted has led to Dallas getting open shots late in many games of this series. Switching Haslem onto Shawn Marion will help take advantage of Haslem's quick feet and defensive instincts off the ball, allowing him to know better when to step up and cut off Dallas' drives.
That leaves LeBron on Nowitzki in one-on-one settings, where James can really lock in. Clearly, Dirk isn't Rose. Fighting Nowitzki for position and chasing him through all the screens Dallas sets to get him to his spots is half the battle, and James has to commit to doing it for the late-game possessions it would happen. But James, if motivated, is also the best suited to fronting Nowitzki, a new look that Miami has yet to use consistently. James is also athletic enough to stay in front of Nowitzki and has the length to contest his jumper. His athleticism also leaves him better equipped than anyone on the Heat to briefly cut off penetration on pick and rolls, then quickly rotate back to Nowitzki.
In short, of all of Miami's defenders, James is the guy that has the best chance of locking in on a single guy and focusing exclusively on taking him out of the game. That was the theory of putting him on Terry, but Dallas adjusted and turned Terry into more of a decoy and a distributor rather than a one-on-one player, which confused James. It's harder for the Mavericks to do that with Nowitzki because of his importance to the team late. This means James can focus on one job: guarding Nowitzki and Nowitzki alone.
Like I mentioned earlier, this isn't a "let's get LeBron engaged in the game" move. This would be a move coach Erik Spoelstra considers because it will give Dallas a different look. Right now, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle is tinkering, and Spoelstra is bearing down, unwilling to make significant defensive alterations to his game plan. The result is a 3-2 Dallas lead and a Mavericks offense that is clicking.
If Spoelstra wants to turn the tide of this series back to the Heat, he'll need to make a defensive adjustment. Of all the ones he could make, switching James onto Nowitzki at the end of games strikes me as the most effective move.
