Most students that visit the Panama City Beach area come to visit the beach, but not a large group of teens from Chattanooga, who came to do some hard work.
More than two hundred middle and high school students, part of a project called Camp Illuminate, paid their own way here, to put in some long hours helping out Bay county non-profit organizations.
Illuminate Co-founder and Camp Director, Bryant Underwood said, "Our slogan is bringing the light to the community by love and service, so we just want to share the love through service, we don't want to just talk about it we want to show people that this is what it looks like."
Project illuminate has completed large-scale service projects for the past three years in their home town, but this is the first year they have done the project in a different area.
"We came down in august and starting meeting with different ministries, seeing if there was a need and then we realized that there was," said Underwood.
The group helps any non-profit that might be in need, by doing things like yard work, painting or planting flowers, or anything that they can to help out.
Anchorage Children's Home out of Panama City was one of the charities that got to benefit from the project.
Brooke Bullard, Development Director at Anchorage Children's Home said, "This is monumental, I mean we have a two man show for our maintenance department and those guys work tirelessly to take care of all of our properties, and for them to come in and do this type of work, really just beautifying our place for the kids and the youth that we serve is just unimaginable."
The Illuminate Project also provides entertainment to the kids, like key note speakers and musical guests for every night that they are here.
"Seeing the students realize that they can make such a huge impact, by sharing the love of Christ, through just service projects, that's really why we do it, just to take the love to the community," Underwood added.
The teens are also helping out at The Salvation Army, The Food for Kids program in the Noah's Ark building, and The Hannah's House charity.

Last year at this time, Joey Votto was Joey Votto. On July 5, 2010, Votto was one of the best first basemen in the league. On July 5, 2011, Votto is one of the best first basemen in the league. If you're looking for surprises, look somewhere else.
But 365 days ago, there were three players who made the 2011 All-Star Game who were certainly not All-Stars a year ago. They weren't thinking of making an All-Star team last year -- they were wondering if they'd just be on a major league roster. Here are the three most surprising All-Stars:
Aaron Crow
Crow was a first-round pick in 2008 by the Washington Nationals, who didn't sign the right-handed starter. Crow then pitched for the Fort Worth Cats, an independent team, before being drafted by the Royals in 2009. The next year, he made seven Class-A starts, showing control and strikeout stuff, but he was hit hard The Royals moved him up to AA during the season, and he was hit harder.
In 2011, Crow made the Royals out of spring training as a reliever. Now he's an All-Star.
Ryan Vogelsong
You don't have limit yourself to "what was he doing last year?" with Vogelsong. Eight seasons ago, he was the worst starter in the National League. Two years ago, he was okay for the Orix Buffaloes in Japan. Last year in AAA, he was so bad that he was released by the Angels. He was picked up by the Phillies, and pitched just as poorly. Last year, he walked 5.9 hitters for every nine innings pitched in the minors, which is Kaz Ishii territory ... but in AAA.
In 2011, Vogelsong came up from Fresno to fill in for Barry Zito. Now he's an All-Star.
Alex Avila
Avila didn't start catching until he was a a senior in college, and was a fifth-round draft pick. When he made the Tigers as a backup catcher in 2010 despite a lack of experience above AA, much less a lot of catching experience at all, it was somewhat strange. By putting him on the bench, it was like the Tigers were okay with his development being stalled by not giving him regular at-bats in the minors.
In 2011, Avila was voted the starting catcher for the American League in the 2011 All-Star Game.
These three players caught everybody by surprise, but their success was still somewhat gradual. First you read that Vogelsong is invited to spring training, then you see that he's called up to fill in for an injury, then he has one good start, then another, then a third ... by the time July rolls around, you're still surprised that he's doing well, but there's still a little familiarity with the idea that he's morphed into some sort of good pitcher now. You'll never know what it's like to see their names last year at this time and know that they'll be All-Stars the next season.
For that, you'll need to look for:
- a first-round pick struggling in A or AA
- a pitcher with big league experience, mediocre numbers in Japan, and awful numbers in AAA as a thirty-something
- an under-25 backup catcher who isn't hitting especially well
So allow me to present three of the 2012 All Stars one year early:
Hayden Simpson, Casey Fossum, and Lou Marson.
All-Stars, all of them. If it reads like a ridiculous suggestion, then maybe that can give you an idea of how ridiculous it is that Crow, Vogelsong, and Avila are in the All-Star Game this season. Click the links. See what Simpson, Fossum, and Marson are doing this year. Then picture them standing on a first-base line after they're announced as All-Stars.
Baseball is so danged weird.

Allegro Diagnostics Corp. is a molecular diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative genomic tests to support the diagnosis and management of lung cancer. These tests have the potential to enable the early diagnosis, staging and informed treatment of lung cancer and other lung diseases.
The company has developed a molecular testing platform that is based on the discovery of a genomic biomarker for lung cancer. This platform has generated multiple product candidates that analyze specific changes in gene expression in epithelial cells of the airway, which are associated with the development in lung cancer in current or former tobacco smokers.
Allegro's first product candidate is BronchoGen™, which can be incorporated into standard bronchoscopy procedures to provide additional critical diagnostic information to support more rapid diagnosis and treatment. This approach may provide more accurate, more cost-effective, and less invasive early diagnosis of lung cancer, a $10 billion worldwide market. Allegro holds extensive intellectual property rights to the molecular testing and analysis of the gene expression platform for this product.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency thought North Carolina regulators were too lenient when they came up with a settlement with Duke Energy over coal ash plants.
The EPAs questioning of the proposed settlement in 2013 surfaced in thousands of emails and other records that the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources recently made public in response to records requests by the news media, advocates and others.
The records also reveal tensions among state regulators, their supervisors and the nations largest utility company over the past five years as North Carolina began paying more attention to coal ash storage ponds in the wake of the catastrophic spill of the material in Tennessee in 2008.
We need to move forward with this permit, one DENR supervisor emailed colleagues in 2012, referring to a regulatory dispute at one power plant. Duke is getting impatient.
A far smaller spill although the third largest in U.S. history occurred at Duke Energys plant in Rockingham County on Feb. 2, polluting the Dan River with coal ash sludge and wastewater.
DENR has been criticized for too quickly coming up with a settlement for two lawsuits it filed last year against two Duke plants alleging violations of their water discharge permits.
The EPA, in comments submitted to DENR on the proposed settlement last year, questioned the size of the penalties of $51,500 for the Asheville plant and $36,000 for the Riverbend plant in Gaston County, in addition to cost reimbursements bringing the total liability to $99,111.
That amount seems low considering the number of years these facilities are alleged to have been out of compliance, the EPA response states. However, since the federal agency didnt have information that DENR had incorrectly applied its penalty policy, it would be difficult to challenge the fines, the response says. The EPA also thought more testing and monitoring for pollution should be required.
DENR says the thrust of the settlement wasnt about money but about making sure Duke dealt with the problem at two specific plants. The agreement would have required Duke to test waters and stop illegal discharges. DENR modified the proposed settlement to meet two of the EPAs four concerns about monitoring and testing at the two plants. The settlement would have also imposed fines if the company failed to follow through.
Proposed settlement defended
Earlier this month, amid criticism of the agency after the Dan River spill, DENR withdrew the proposed settlement altogether.
In February, DENR Secretary John Skvarla defended the settlement proposal at a news conference. He noted the wealth of the countrys biggest utility couldnt legally be taken into consideration when coming up with a fine, and the agency has to consider specific factors when it levies fines.
The fine was irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, Skvarla said. We were trying to get to the end game.
Skvarla said his agencys goal is to successfully enforce safeguards without dragging disputes out in court for years.
The emails released illustrate the give-and-take between regulators and private industry, where both sides sometimes take a confrontational approach while also working toward a compromise.
Conflicts were foreseen in a July 2009 email by stormwater engineer Ken Pickle, who explained to colleagues that DENR was taking a closer look at the coal ash plants owned by Duke Energy and what was then called Progress Energy. He added: As to the potential for a Progress Energy (and Duke) backlash, our unit has been quite concerned on this point.
Two months later, Mike Lawyer, an engineer in the water quality division, described a problem he was running into at the Weatherspoon plant in Robeson County.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, Weatherspoon and PEC (Progress Energy Carolinas) staff seem to feel as though I am on their side, Lawyer wrote. I am on the side of the environment and specifically the protection of our states surface waters via stormwater management. Somehow, it seems as though they have taken my willingness to meet with them and provide technical assistance as my unwillingness to ensure compliance with our rules and regulations.
Alleged gamesmanship
The anticipated backlash came as DENR rolled out its new focus on coal ash ponds, particularly requiring more monitoring when plants stormwater permits were up for renewal. Leading the charge was George Everett, Dukes main lobbyist in Raleigh.
Everett commands attention not only because of his employer but because of his resume: He was a deputy director at the state environmental agency, was executive director of the Manufacturers and Chemical Industry Council of N.C., and holds degrees in biology and zoology.
Everett wanted regulators to justify the new requirements and at times seemed incredulous at DENRs plans, which he called burdensome and costly.
Why would we do this when we are looking for a kinder, gentler regulatory framework according to the governor, etc. Everett wrote, after posing a list of questions suggesting DENR was taking a tougher stance than the federal government.
In the same July 2011 email, Everett chided the regulators for wanting to check for the presence of silver in stormwater runoff, saying if that was worthwhile, then maybe in retirement I can become a prospector and hang around old coal sites looking for nuggets.
In a subsequent email, a DENR staffer replied: He can take that up with the researchers who identified this metal as a contaminant in coal combustion waste.
There is no substance here; this is all gamesmanship, Pickle emailed a colleague, referring to Duke Energys aggressive stance in resisting proposed regulations.
We stopped asking
Front-line staffers began getting frustrated that proposed regulations werent going anywhere up the chain of command.
In December 2011, stormwater permitting unit supervisor Bradley Bennett wrote that he was disappointed that his unit had come up with alternatives for a specific plants regulations that didnt seem to have been considered by higher-ranking officials.
In August 2012, Jessica Godreau from the drinking water section wrote to Matt Matthews, head of the surface water protection unit, about the Belews Creek Steam Station in Stokes County: I have concern that several of the conditions we had suggested were not included in the draft below, dramatically changing the expectations of the discharger.
Bethany Georgoulias, an environmental engineer in the stormwater permitting unit, emailed a colleague in September 2013 that meetings to resolve one contentious issue involving monitoring for potential pollution had gone on for more than a year. She said staff repeatedly asked for direction on another plant, in Rowan County, and were told to wait.
There was a lack of direction for coal ash stormwater regulations, Georgoulias wrote.
We stopped asking, she wrote.

Chris is singing more like he did with Soundgarden and the rest of the band made changes to accommodate (chicken or the egg) but that doesen't mean they sound like Soundgarden. They sound like Audioslave. Very solid album. Pick up an electric guitar Chris!!!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Don't listen to the people who like to hear themselves talk about how this album is sub-standard. Chris Cornell shines in his own way as usual and the past Rage Against the Machine members are also strong throughout. The writing is solid and the chemistry between the members of the band is evident.
In the past I was more of a Soundgarden fan than a Rage fan. Trust me, there's no sense in comparing this group to the past bands. This is a good album in it's own right and yes, even if they weren't past members of these bands this CD would still get looked at. Why? Chris is a unique and distinct vocalist. So are his lyrics. Tom Morello is a unique and distinct guitarist. You can't get around that.
If you are a fan of the genre and if you are at all a fan of the previous album then you should definitely pick this one up. If you aren't familiar with these guys, pick it up and get back in touch with your rock and roll roots.
From one person who likes good rock and roll to another or to someone still getting into it, check it out. And let yourself enjoy it free of comparisons and reviews rife with obnoxious vocabulary.
I like a good heavy rock song as much as the next guy, and Audioslave supplies a lot of those on Out of Exile. For example, something like "Drown Me Slowly" is a powerful piece of music, complete with head-banging guitar riffs and a muscular lead vocal by Chris Cornell. But what's unique and excellent about Audioslave is how they write and perform actual melodies, and they also have the ability to mix in a variety of volumes and tempos. It's not just all full-gale hurricane all of the time. Even on the same mighty tune, "Drown Me Slowly," there is a slower, softer bridge with Cornell almost crooning. And the very next song, "Heavens Dead," is bit more down-tempo (while still possessing its share of hard rhythms and crunching electric guitars). I came to this "Rage Against The Garden" band from the Soundgarden side, and I always liked the 'Garden's ability to mix it up, as shown on a slower but still very strong song like "Black Hole Sun." Audioslave has got the same kind of mojo working with their material. It's a great listen, from a very solid bunch of musicians.
Out of Exile
As the final song in Out of Exile marches its way through the speakers, you receive a strong sense of déjà vu, almost as though it was the ending song played as the credits of a movie roll across the screen. It was a movie you have experinced many mixed emotions with, but in the end it was incredibly satisfying.
Thus is the story so far with Audioslave, the Soundgarden + Rage Against the Machine incarnation, and the trend continues with their sophmore effort, Out of Exile. After a steller first effort, which has been overly and unfairly critisized, I came into Out of Exile with expectations sky high. Unlike many fans, I was not around in the hey-day of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine and have since been turned on to their music through Audioslave, and not the reverse. Therefore, I have the intriuging ability to examin Audioslave based not on what they have done in their segragated pasts, but only against their potiential in the future.
With that being said, Out of Exile is good album, no, a great album. At first I was a little disapointed. I had dove headlong into their self-titled debut without a single seed of anticipation and loved every minute of it. This album, however, I had been anticipating for months and was expecting, and demanding, an instant classic. What I found, at least a first listen, was an unoriginal, strictly formualic, and somewhat disapointing sequal to what was a fantastic first effort. The songs all seemed to be lacking that certain freshness that the first had so eagerly accepted. The first single, "Be Yourself," was generic, formualic, and about as predictable as any other radio friendly song that dominates the rock charts nowadays. Many of the songs were also disapointingly simple, a surprising move by Chris Cornell, who has been known for his deep, if inaccessable lyrics. "Doesn't Remind Me," is in a fact nothing more than a list of things Cornell likes because, they don't remind him of anything. And, at first listen, nearly all the more Rage-esq rockers such as "Drown Me Slowly," and "Man or Animal," sounded terribly mechanical. But after being able to listen through the album muliple times, I can safely say that this an exceptional 50 minutes of music.
Like all good rock and roll, this album requires time to set in. As the initial disapointment faded to tolerance and then to acceptance, I came to realize just how strong of a set this is. The most noticable difference from the first was just in it's overaul feel. Out of Exile has a much tighter structure to it, making for a smooth and beautiful flow. The band still follows the strict Verse-Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Solo-Conclusion formula, but every song is worked to perfection. The voice of Chris Cornell is matched only by the outrageous guitar playing of Tom Morrello and there are times when it almost seems as if the two are trying to out-do each other. It is, however, on the occasions when they truly merge together, that a glimpse of the future is seem, and it is a bright future indeed. When the complete marriage of Cornell and Morello, Voice and Instrument, is attained the result is an absolutely stunning display of what music should sound like.
The band's amplified unity and confidence in each other is also readily apparent throughout the album, and every one of the twelve songs could be a new single. Out of Exile has managed to expose the softer and even blissful nature of the band that was only touched on in their debut. Songs such as Dandelion, an obvious and inspirational ode to Cornell's newly born daughter convey this newfound sense of peace and optimism. Not to disapoint fans of their more Rage-esq tunes, this album rocks just as hard as the first. Highlighted by such headbangers as "Your Time has Come," "The Worm," and the title track, "Out of Exile," Audioslave has still managed to channel their rage, despite its ever loosening hold on them. Cornell's continued dabblings in blues are present as well in the mournful melodies "Heavens Dead," and "#1 Zero." The true strengh of the album, however, lies in its almost 80s like power ballads, which are reminisent of the great bands of the past. Its difficult to put into words the magnificence and power of the tracks "Yesterday to Tommorrow," and "The Curse," their cool beauty is just something that you'll have to hear for yourself.
Yet dispite the overall maturity of the band and the undeniable greatness of this album, I still feel like there is so much more to come from Audioslave. Chris Cornell has been quoted to say that he wants to turn out albums on a rapid yearly basis, like the some of the great bands of old. But to reach the upper echelon of the immortal bands of the past, Audioslave needs to take that step into the unknown. The need to break the formula – tried and true though it is – has never been more dire, and to have already been so great, Audioslave has barely begun to tap into their vast potential.
People complain that Audioslave lacks a certain unplacable something, that they are nothing more than a wild experiment in the soundscape of rock. The truth is there are times when they sound like Soundgarden, times when they sound like Rage, and even times when they sound like U2 or Zeppelin, but in the their second effort, Audioslave finally just sounds like Audioslave. Chris Cornell has cemented his status as one rock and roll's great vocalists, and Tom Morello's guitar playing will take you out of this world. And even if they never break the mold, even if they continue to put out albums like Out of Exile that only touch on greatness, I will thrilled. For Audioslave has arrived and is hear to stay, this may not be Soundgarden, and this may not be Rage, but this is damn good rock and roll from four of the best in the business.
A few years ago when it was announced that former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell would be joining forces with three quarters of Rage Against The Machine (after the departure of singer Zack de la Rocha) expectations were high. Rage Against The Machine and Soundgarden had been two of the best rock bands from the 1990s and the public was eager to hear what kind of collaboration this new supergroup would make. Would this supergroup, Audioslave, live up to the hype? For the most part, the answer was a resounding yes. Audioslave delivered. While some RATM and Soundgarden fans alike were disappointed, Audioslave's self-titled debut was a strong collection of songs that pleased most fans.
Now, almost three years later, Audioslave is back for their second release "Out of Exile" an album that surpasses the debut. Although Audioslave's self-titled debut is a strong album, when it was recorded, Chris Cornel was still new to the rest of the band-guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk. Now, after three years of touring and already having one album under their belt, the band seems to have really jelled. All four members seem to have found a common ground and found what works and sounds best for the group as a whole. Audioslave seems more like a band now than just a supergroup, or an all-star collaboration of 90s alt. rock superstars.
"Out of Exile" is essentially a straight-ahead rock album, with a real classic rock feel. This is hardly surprising when you consider that although Rage Against The Machine incorporated elements of rap and hip-hop into their formula, a lot of their riffs were firmly rooted in classic rock. And as was the case with the debut, the band has, for the most part, written songs more on the melodic side, to fit the style of the soulful Chris Cornell, as opposed to the rap/hip-hop styling of Zack de la Rocha. But as was the case with the debut, the band hasn't abandoned their sound. You can definitely hear Rage Against The Machine in Audioslave, it's just that the rap/hip elements have been left behind and a more classic rock sound has been embraced. As previously stated, the band seems to have really jelled, so the songs on "Out of Exile" sound tighter than those on the debut and the band seems more focused. In short, compared to the debut, "Out of Exile" is a leaner, meaner album.
All twelve tracks on "Out of Exile" are quite strong. It's pretty much all killer and no filler. The CD has a good pace and never runs out of stream or looses momentum. Some of the songs, like the opening fast-paced "Your Time has Come, "Out of Exile" and "Man or Animal" sound very RATM-ish and probably could have been re-worked for Zack de la Rocha. These songs should please fans who have been missing RATM. Some of the album is more melodic, like the tuneful "Be Yourself," "Don't Remind Me" and the gorgeous "Dandelion." Fans of Soundgarden/Chris Cornell should be pleased with those. But all of the songs are tinged with elements of classic rock. "The Worm" actually sounds somewhat similar to Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog," off their "ZOSO" album. So whether you're primarily a fan of Rage, Chris Cornell/Soundgarden or classic rock, there is something on "Out of Exile" for everyone.
Tom Morello has proved to be one of the best guitarists of the last twenty years. He's not only technically a solid player, but he has also come up with some of the catchiest and creative riffs in years. With "Out of Exile," Morello has come up with a new batch of songs that both bare his signature and expand upon his previous work. Morello has always had a knack for coming up with catchy and creative riffs, that sound both fresh and unique. His fans will not be let down with this release.
Bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk have shown to be one of the most exciting and dynamic rhythm sections of the last twenty years. They have proved to be more than just the backdrop to let Morello do his thing. Their playing is thoroughly commanding, electrifying, and intense. They were essential to Rage's, and now Audioslave's sound.
Vocalist Chris Cornell has been universally hailed as one of the best singers in rock. And while he is undoubtedly a great singer, he is also a gifted songwriter. The chemistry between Cornell and the rest of the band has grown stronger and his soulful delivery seems well-suited for the classic rock styling of Morello. Although in all honesty, Cornell is not quite the singer that he once was. He still has a fine voice, but it seems strained at times. He can't quite make those screams the way he used to.
While "Out of Exile" isn't quite up there with such classics as "Rage Against The Machine" (1992), "The Battle of Los Angeles" (1999), "Badmotorfinger" (1991), or "Superunknown" (1994), it's still a very strong album. If you liked RATM, Soundgarden, or Audioslave's debut, you should be pleased with this one.

Upload more than one photo at a time – BP Album+
I tried to search the forum for this but I keep getting redirected to http://buddypress.org/?s so forgive me if this is a rehash.
I installed BP Album+, expecting it to allow uploading multiple photos at once (so I can, you know, build an album) but that's not the case. Wondering if this is a setting that I can change or is this just a limitation of the plugin?

Azure Site Recovery can help you protect important services by coordinating the automated replication and recovery of System Center private clouds at a secondary location. The ongoing asynchronous replication of each VM is provided by Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Replica and is monitored and coordinated by Azure Site Recovery. In the event of a site outage at the primary datacenter, VMs can be brought up in an orchestrated fashion to help restore service quickly. This process can also be used for testing recovery, or temporarily transferring services.
We're introducing a new capability in preview. Now you can replicate virtual machines from your primary site directly to Azure, instead of your own secondary site. In the event of an outage at the primary site, the service orchestrates the recovery of virtual machines in Azure.
Please note that the prices quoted on this page will increase by 7% on August 1, 2014.
Important: The price in R$ is merely a reference; this is an int'l transaction and the final price is subject to exchange rates and the inclusion of IOF taxes and an eNF will not be issued.
Azure Site Recovery is billed based on number of virtual machines protected. Protecting VMs to Azure is currently in preview and the prices below include a 50% discount.
Azure Site Recovery is billed in units of the average daily number of virtual machines you are protecting over a monthly period. For example, if you consistently protected 20 virtual machines for the first half of the month and none for the second half of the month, the average daily number of protected virtual machines would be 10 for that month.
Site Recovery is available in the following regions:
Site Recovery is not available in the US North Central region. Please select another region.

Technical support for Azure Site Recovery's replication to Azure, currently in preview, is available through community forums. Billing and subscription management support is provided at no cost.
We guarantee at least 99.9% availability of the failover functionality for the Azure Site Recovery service to customer owned sites. Availability is calculated over a monthly billing cycle.

Who remembers the old Paramus Drive-In on Route 4?
Karen Petri Summers of Ringwood does. She was there in 1973 to see "The Poseidon Adventure," a mega-hit that helped feed that decade's insatiable appetite for disaster movies.
The film, released the previous December, went on to win two Oscars (for its song and visual effects) and, according to Summers, it "had everything. A love story, a tidal wave, things flying all over the place. It was the perfect movie to see on a warm night, sitting under the stars with a big bag of popcorn. Seeing it at an indoor theater wouldn't have been the same."
Karen Salemi, who grew up in Elmwood Park, went to the Paramus Drive-In to see The Beatles' "Help!" and "A Hard Day's Night," as well as "some other movie starring The Dave Clark Five." (They made only one: "Having a Wild Weekend.")
Salemi couldn't remember the title, but she remembered where she saw it.

If Red Head doesn't want to fight Trout he can actually fight Kirkland. He is a golden boy fighter and a legitimate Jr. Middleweight. James has been ou the ring for 9 months, Red Head would have all the advantages, it could work.
Side note: The Charlo twins are going to be great!

Alvarez is Kirkland would be great. I think James can take Red Head's punch. I want to see how well Saul does against actual 154 fighter. I wonder if he can take a punch from James or even Trout. His chin has yet to be tested so I am curious how well he does with a fighter of his own weight. Kirkland is a good fighter and I believe he would do well. Now can he win? Not on the score cards but I do believe he would make Alvarez look like Craig Mack after the fight. Either way the fight would bring buzz. Plus I heard he is working with Robert Garica so I would like to see what RG has done for Kirkland.

RAY BROOK — Four parcels of newly acquired state land are moving through the steps of Adirondack Park Agency land-use classification.
They are sections of the total 65,000 acres being conveyed by the Nature Conservancy to the state as part of the historic Finch, Pruyn & Co. transaction in 2007.
New York allocated $12.4 million late last year for the four parcels situated in the towns of Newcomb, Minerva and Indian Lake.
The parcels vary in size: Essex Chain Lakes is 18,888 acres; Indian River Tract is 945 acres; OK Slip Falls is 3,015 acres; and the smaller Open Space Conservancy section is 160 acres, according to APA documents.
Determining how these lands are classified also triggers potential reclassification of adjoining state park property, pushing the total land mass under APA review to upwards of 47,000 acres.
Adirondack Park land classification has to, by state law, adhere to tenets of the State Land Master Plan.
In a draft Environmental Impact Statement released earlier this summer, APA said: "The protection and preservation of the natural resources of the state lands within the park must be paramount. Human use and enjoyment of those lands should be permitted and encouraged, so long as the resources in their physical and biological context, as well as their social or psychological aspects, are not degraded."
A series of public hearings ended in July.
APA spokesman Keith McKeever said they received 3,749 letters/emails.
"The actual number received was higher, but we removed duplicate comments. We received many, many duplicate comments from the same people."
APA's Draft Environmental Impact Statement puts eight options, with subcategories, on the planning table, including a final "do nothing" alternative.
The various options wrangle with boundaries that would press — to greater and lesser degrees — a preservation-oriented Wilderness boundary against the more accessible Wild Forest designation; or a Canoe Area with Wilderness corridors; or Wild Forest mixed with Wilderness and State Administrative regions.

Police appeal over missing Bromley man
Updated 11:54am Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News By Joshua Barrie, reporter
POLICE are appealing for help in finding a missing Bromley man.
Tarique Kirton, 22, was last seen in the area yesterday – just after 6pm.
Officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for Mr Kirton's welfare due to the length of time his whereabouts have been unknown.
They have also noted the cold weather is a worry. Reports indicate he was last seen wearing a black hat, an ankle-length gown, and jeans.
Police say he has in the past used public transport to travel across London and has visited Birmingham.
Anyone with information is asked to contact officers via 101

A wanted man was shot by deputies after investigators said they found him slumped over in a stopped car and he flashed a handgun.
It happened at around 7:40 a.m. Friday near the intersection of the Illahe crossing overpass and Interstate 5 in Salem.
Investigators released additional details about the case over the weekend.
Witnesses reported a possible drunk driver weaving all over the road, before stopping and "passing out" Friday morning.
Deputies responded and found a silver 2006 Acura TL sedan with Oregon plates and a man inside slumped over the steering wheel.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office said two deputies made contact with the man and while standing close to him, he brandished a gun.
Deputy Dale Huitt, 48, then shot the suspect who has been identified as Michael Wylie, 48.
He was taken to the Salem Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators are not releasing the number of times Huitt, a fulltime deputy in Marion County since 2006, fired his gun.
It was later discovered the car Wylie was in was reported stolen from a home in Tigard at nearly the same time deputies made contact with him Friday morning.
Investigators also learned a warrant was issued for Wylie in Salt Lake City, UT for a parole violation. The warrant stated he should be considered armed and dangerous and had violent tendencies, as well as being an escape risk.
Additionally, police in Edmonds, WA, identified Wylie as a home invasion robbery suspect on April 23. Tigard police also identified him as a suspect involving an altercation with an officer early Friday morning.
In that situation, police said Wylie ran away from a crash scene and pointed a gun at an officer who was running after him. The car involved in that crash had been reported stolen to the Seattle Police Department.
Wylie was released from the hospital and taken to the Marion County Correctional Facility where he is being kept on the parole violation warrant.
He is also charged with unlawful use of a weapon and being a convicted felon in possession of a gun. Additional charges may follow.
Deputy Huitt has been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure when a law enforcement officer uses deadly physical force.
Investigators would like anyone with information regarding this investigation to contact Keizer Police Department Detective Tim Lathrop at 503-390-371, ext. 3481.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office is investigating a package containing a powdery substance and a threatening letter that was delivered and opened inside Sheriff Chris Blair's office on Friday.
An assistant, who opened the letter around 8:50 a.m., immediately called for help and emergency protocols were activated. The letter contained a direct threat to Sheriff Blair, investigators say.
The assistant was not injured. Fire rescue professionals from both the Marion County Fire
Rescue and the Ocala Fire Rescue took over the scene to contain the suspicious powder and
"This is serious," Sheriff Blair said. "The emotional stress on our employees will not be
tolerated. Disrupting MCSO business will not be tolerated. And the emergency resources
that were used could have been elsewhere protecting the community."
Along with fire agencies, the incident involved the Marion County Sheriff's Office Bomb
Squad, MCSO Major Crimes division, plus the MCSO Homeland Security and Counter
Terrorism investigations unit.
At this point, the powdery substance will be tested by health department professionals in Jacksonville.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) will be investigating this incident.
Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers at 352-368‐7867. One can remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward.

The staff at Concrete Treat recently visited Superior Stone Supply (3876 Witney Avenue, Hamden, CT) to apply Concrete Treat to the newly installed paving stones around their entryway. Our visit was about an hour long, during which time we sealed the concrete paving stones to protect them from salt, ice, and from stains from the cars that would be parking on them.
Since we were applying Concrete Treat to concrete paving stones, we thought we'd share a little bit about our visit, including how we applied our product and what it looked like during installation.
Concrete Treat can easily be applied to indoor concrete, outdoor concrete, and newly placed concrete by any contractor, homeowner, or construction company.
Our Newest Concrete Treat Contractor
Superior Stone became a Concrete Treat distributor and applicator this past fall, and since then, they've been applying our concrete sealer in many of their paving stone jobs.
I'd never seen their home office before, and, frankly, I was impressed! They have a wonderful showroom, complete with a working fireplace, that was cozy and installed with wall-to-wall options for homeowners interested in installing stonework on the inside or outside of their home.
On the outside of their office, they had wonderful options on display for homeowners wanting to install a paving stone patio, walkway, or garden area.
We had one eye out for their "Mobile Showroom", but were told that it was on the road, serving customers elsewhere in the state.
The overall ambiance of the area was warm and inviting, and Bill Mastrangelo Jr., the owner, was a friendly, professional man. It's no wonder his company's been in business for more than 25 years!
Applying Our Concrete Sealer
To apply Concrete Treat quickly and effectively, we found a Roundup Lawn & Garden Sprayer to work very well. That kind of spray applicator will generally cost about $20, and can be found at any hardware store. We also used a Cobra Spray Applicator, which are manufactured in Harrisburg, PA.
Applying Concrete Treat to the entire display took approximately a half hour. A single coating of Concrete Treat is all that's ever needed, and it was easy to see if the concrete was "wet" with the concrete sealer just by looking at it.
We didn't need any special protection while applying Concrete Treat, as it's non-toxic and safe to use. This would also have been the case if we'd used it indoors.
Additionally, we did not need to worry about walking on the areas damp with the sealer — it did not affect the treatment, nor did it damage our shoes, skin, or clothes. There was no odor from the sealer at all when we were applying it, and it had the consistency of water overall.
Applying Our Concrete Sealer On Already-Sealed Concrete
One interesting thing that happened while we were applying Concrete Treat: We came across an area where we had done a test section for the people of Superior Stone some weeks before.
In the picture on the right, you can see that where we had previously coated several paving stones with Treat, the area remained dry during our second application.
This is because the original layer of Concrete Treat had already completely sealed the paving stones, keeping even the second coat of Concrete Treat sealed out of the concrete.
You will never need to apply Concrete Treat to concrete more than once. In fact, a second coating could potentially lead to spotting on the surface and should be avoided entirely.
A Fast Solution For Sealing Concrete Pavers
Before the application of Concrete Treat was completed, the areas where we had started were already beginning to dry, giving the paving stones an interesting appearance.
As it's drying, concrete that has been sealed with Concrete Treat may look like the surface is slightly white. This is a temporary condition only — the concrete will be indistinguishable from its previous appearance within the 2-4 hour period. In fact, we had no idea where the "test run" area was that we mentioned eariler until we actually wetted the concrete.
The treated paving stone area was available for public use before it was completely dry. Within an hour of beginning to apply Concrete Treat, customers were parking their cars on the paving stones, walking on them, and using the space normally. The sealer was not affected at all by the rain that came soon afterwards.
Sealing Paving Stones With Concrete Treat
Closeup of water beading on the surface of concrete paving stones at Superior Stone. The pavers have been sealed with Concrete Treat.
Concrete Treat is a clear product that will never yellow or change its color over time. It will protect your concrete from spalling, chipping, flaking, efflorescence, moisture, salts, de-icers, and stains from oil and other materials.
By the time the job was done, we had used six gallons of Concrete Treat on the paving stones. Since one gallon of Concrete Treat is enough to treat 300 square feet of concrete, we needed that much to complete 1,700 square foot area.
Even before the Concrete Treat we'd applied had finished drying, it had already begun to protect the concrete from moisture. We tested out one area of the concrete by spraying water from a hose on the surface — and sure enough, water immediately began to bead there.
This was an easy installation! Any homeowner or contractor can easily apply Concrete Treat with a sprayer, roller, brush, or other application method quickly and easily.
If you have any questions about Concrete Treat or would like to order by phone, please call us at (203) 376-9180 today!

If you've ever been to Hilton Head, then you know the most common form of transportation is bike! This 2-wheeled ride and Christmas have a long history together, as the bicycle is one of the most common items on a child's wish list for Santa.
Hilton Head Outfitters has the new craze in bikes that's on lots of kids' lists this year. It's called Zike! The Zike combines a normal bike with the workout of an elliptical machine. These super kid-friendly bikes have been featured on The View and Extra.
You can get the Zike in 4 different versions:
All these versions come in multiple colors, including blue, green, red, yellow and more. If a bike is on your child's Christmas list this year, why not try something different and fun with the Zike?! We guarantee they will have a speedy good time.
It's that time of year again … time to deck the halls and trim the tree! Most of the decorating decisions come down to white or colored lights, which ornaments will be on the front of the tree and what bows to put on your wreath. Why not try something a little different this year with a beach-themed holiday? Here are a few ideas to make your winter décor feel a little more tropical.
This holiday, instead of just wishing you were out of the snow and in the sand, bring the beach to your home with your decorations. We'd love to see how your family decorated this holiday season so please feel free to share your pictures with us on Facebook! Happy Holidays.
We thought it would be fun to share a little bit of history about the resort that so many of you call home, home away from home or vacation heaven.
It all started for Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort back in 1967 with the first major project being the development of the lagoon system. One year later, in 1968, development began on our championship Robert Trent Jones golf course
The early 70's brought the addition of the Inn Villas, Beach Villas, Water Oak Villas, the Chimney Cove development and the groundbreaking of the Hyatt Hotel. In 1973, the Fazio course was started and the Jones pro shop was expanded. The following year our wonderful Tennis Center was completed and the end of the 70's allowed us to finish Ocean Cove Villas, Turnberry Village and the Fazio Tennis Courts. We ended the decade with the acquisition by Greenwood Development Corporation.
The 80's brought more growth in our accommodation arena by adding Captain's Walk, Captain's Cove, St. Andrew's Common and more. In 1980 construction began on Shelter Cove Marina, making it an exciting year for us! Three years later came the dedication of Shelter Cove Harbour and the popular King Neptune sundial, the largest working figurative sundial in the world... In 1986, the Arthur Hills Course opened, completing our acclaimed, award-winning golf trifecta.
Over the past ten years, the resort built a new Tennis Center in 2001, and in 2002, the Robert Trent Jones course was completely renovated.
Look how far we've come since 1967! Who knows what will be in our future, but we look forward to all the great things to come and providing our guests with more activities than ever.
Lots of women come through the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center each year, and one complaint that we've heard a lot is about their tennis bags. They are often too large and bulky for the average woman to haul around. That's why we started carrying the very stylish and sleek Life Is Tennis JETPAC bag.
Designed by a female tennis player for women, these bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes while also allowing you to pick from lots of fun patterns. The Winter collection provides prints such as Enchantment, Reptilian and Silver Vogue. Here at Palmetto Dunes we carry many different styles, including small and large slings, as well as totes.
So this holiday season give the gift that will make dreams of days spent in our tennis clinics and nights spent on our lighted tennis courts. The Life Is Tennis bag is a must-give this holiday season for all the lady tennis players in your life!

Deputies from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office are investigating a "hit list" that was posted on a social media site by two girls, both cheerleaders.
According to a news release an 8th grader at Walker Butte K-8 and a 10th grader at Poston Butte High School created the list and posted it on Instagram.
A parent of one of the students on the list discovered it and reported it to Florence Unified School District officials, who reported it to the Sheriff's office.
The list was accompanied by an icon of a pistol, next to the words "hit list," the release said.
According to the release, the girls told deputies they did not intend to harm anyone on the list, which included a teacher. They told deputies the list was only a list of people they disliked.
The Sheriff's office and school administrators continue to investigate the case.
The case could possibly be submitted to the Pinal County Attorney's Office for charges of threatening and intimidating, the release said.
