Tony Award-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross, Oleanna, Speed-the-Plow) also directs the 90-minute play that takes its inspiration from figures from the American political scene of the 1960s. It officially opens Dec. 2. The production is scheduled for a 14-week run through Feb. 17, 2013.
According to producers, "LuPone plays the title character and Winger plays a prison official. These actresses will make theatrical fireworks as one character, put away for life, wants out while the other wants to make sure she stays inside. This explosive new work by Mamet is about Passion, redemption, deception, and revolution."
LuPone told Playbill in a recent interview, "This is truly truly among the most challenging things I've ever done. It was one of the hardest things to memorize. It's really ideas David is presenting as two sides of an argument. It's a prisoner who has served a life-term; she's been in prison 35 years and she's had an exemplary record in the prison system. She's meeting with a fictional character, someone who doesn't really exist in the penal system, but is somebody who will judge me and determine whether I am fit to go in front of the parole board."
LuPone, a Tony Award winner for Evita and Gypsy, has a long history with Mamet. The two first worked together on his drama The Woods in 1977. LuPone's Mamet appearances also include The Water Engine, Edmond, The Old Neighborhood and the film "State and Main." (LuPone will also be part of Playbill's third Broadway on the High Seas cruise, which sets sail Aug. 4, 2013, from Stockholm, Sweden.)
The Anarchist marks Winger's Broadway debut. She is a three-time Academy Award nominee for "Terms of Endearment," "Shadowlands" and "An Officer and a Gentleman." Her stage appearances include The Exonerated, How I Learned to Drive and Ivanov.
The Anarchist has scenic and costume design by Academy Award winner Patrizia Von Brandenstein and lighting by Tony Award winner Jeff Croiter. The premiere is produced by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, and Howard and Janet Kagan.

We knew the Holland American Line would have an older demographic, however we were surprised how many elderly people were on board. All with their walkers etc, which did slow things down at times. For the family Christmas cruise there were 152 children on board - I think I saw a total of 8 children - they were occupied in the HAL children's club.
Entertainment was excellent and there were so many activities on ship that we couldn't do them all. Would strongly recommend purchasing the verdandah rooms on the Port side to enjoy entering each Port when going from Sydney - New Zealand. Think about which direction your ship sails so that you can enjoy the land views as you enter each harbour.
Very informative staff on each port with a lot of information provided. However do your research as you may still pick up better deals on line rather than through the cruiseline.

BARDSTOWN, KY (WAVE) – An armed robber who held up a business in Bardstown was caught on camera.
Police said a man had something covering his face, wore gloves and was believed to have been armed with a black semi auto handgun when he held up the speedy mart on Bloomingfield Road Monday morning.

|Spencerville Bearcats fall in State Team tourney
|Thursday, January 31, 2013 2:13 PM
That was never more true than Wednesday during the first-ever OHSAA State Team Dual Tournament at The Palace in Coldwater High School.
"We bump guys up weight classes because we felt we could be competitive and for the most part, we were. We voided two classes and got one back," Spencerville coach Tom Wegesin explained. "We won five matches and our heavyweight (Jake Bellows) was in good shape but got caught in a move and was pinned. This was a nice opportunity to get another match and see what we need to work on."
For Bath coach Clayton Westerbeck, his team also had to survive.
"We had three starters not here: Nate Stonehill at 132, Zach Garrett at 138 and Easton Rudasill at 170; because of illness or injury, so we had some fill-ins that did well," Westerbeck said. "Hopefully, they should be back for Saturday. These Wednesday or Thursday matches are tough for your training because you usually got hard and light for a normally meet on Saturday but you have to go hard on both days."
The match began with three voids: freshman Wyatt Stahl (106 pounds) and junior Colin Ingram (113) garnered voids for the Wildcats and junior Ashley King (120) got one for the Bearcats.
The first contested match was at 126, when sophomore Jared Davis tech-falled sophomore Derrick Smith 17-2 (2:43).
Spencerville won the next two: junior Trevor Bockey outwrestling freshman Jacob Horstman 5-2 at 132 and senior Cory Binkley pinning freshman Joey McConnell at 4:25.
Bath swept three in a row: at 145, when junior Derrick Lowe tech-falled sophomore Cole Bellows 18-3 (4:56); senior Colin Wise pinning freshman Alex Mayer (1:54) at 152; and sophomore Ryker Rabley pinning freshman Zach Brown (:51).
Spencerville senior Kyle Sawmiller bumped up to 170 to turn the tables on Bath's senior Drew Ebbeskotte (1:47) but 182-pound junior Jaiden Knock turned around to pin freshman Wyatt Krouskop at 3:41 to seal the match, leading 40-21 with three classes left.
Spencerville senior Lucas Shumate outwrestled junior Christopher Lamarr 10-8 and classmate Lucas Krouskop pinned freshman Kyle Lhamon at the 3-minute mark.
The final match saw junior Caleb Neal turn a reversal into a pin of senior Jake Bellows at 3:41.
"We have to get ready for the Northwest Conference Saturday. Saturday and next Tuesday versus St. John's are for seeding purposes for sectionals," Wegesin added. "What we need to work on the next few weeks are the small details, the little things that we're just missing that are costing us in matches. We're close; if we can iron those out, we have some guys that are capable of getting to districts and even state if things go well."
Spencerville is in the Northwest Conference meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at Lima Central Catholic, while Bath is in the Western Buckeye League meet 10 a.m. Saturday at Elida.

|Fish Ohio
|Saturday, July 06, 2013 12:41 AM
Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report!
Deer Creek Lake (Fayette/Pickaway counties) - This 1,287-acre lake southwest of Columbus provides good largemouth bass and crappie fishing. Fish shoreline cover and riprap for largemouth bass; throwing creature baits, tubes and crankbaits is popular. When crappie fishing, use a minnow suspended under a bobber around wood for best results; these must be 9 inches-plus to keep. Channel catfish are being caught using cut shad, shrimp or catfish baits.
O'Shaughnessy Reservoir (Delaware County) - Saugeye can be caught using trolling worm harnesses and small crankbaits in the south end of the reservoir; try the flats at dawn and dusk for good results. Bluegill are being caught in the north end and on shallow flats of the lake using wax worms and nightcrawlers. Largemouth bass are being found lake-wide around shoreline cover, plus secondary points and riprap areas; try crankbaits, spinner baits and tube baits in the morning and evening for best results. Crappie have moved to deeper water; target drop-offs into the old river channel.
Resthaven Wildlife Area, Pond 7 (Erie County) - Located just outside Castalia on SR 269, the site has 444 acres of water contained in 10 different ponds. Anglers should still be able to hook into some largemouth bass this time of year; typical lures include plastic worms and crankbaits. Pond 7 is also excellent for carp; for something new, try bow-fishing from the access roads or from a boat. Boats may be used here; however, no ramps are available at most of the ponds. Pond 8 does have a ramp and a handicapped-accessible fishing pier. Gasoline motors up to 9.9 HP may be used on all ponds.
Bressler Reservior (Allen County) - Located outside the city of Lima, a mile south of SR 81 and a mile north of SR 117 on Kemp and Grubb roads, it has a surface area of 582 acres. Its maximum depth is 44 feet near the northeast corner, with an average depth of 27 feet. An underwater island adjacent to the conservation pool along the southern shoreline has shallower depths to 10 feet. These depths provide better food production than the deeper waters and serves as a fish-concentration device. The only aquatic vegetation beds here are around this underwater island and in the shoreline area south of the boat ramp. Bluegill can be caught along the entire shoreline; however, anglers usually have the best success at the east end of the north shore. Walleye can be caught along the drop-off all along the shoreline, or near the underwater island; try drifting or trolling worm harnesses or crankbaits in the morning and evenings.
Deer Creek (Stark County) - The bass fishing has picked up at this scenic, electric-only lake; try crankbaits near the causeway or soft plastics around wood cover for the chance at a big one. Bluegill continue to bite along the shoreline on worms or wax worms suspended under bobbers. The catfish action has slowed a little, with the bite switching to nightcrawlers fished off the bottom.
Tappan Lake (Harrison County) - Bass fishing has also picked up at this larger lake, with fast-moving lures triggering strikes; try spinnerbaits or crankbaits near weeds, wood or rock cover. Saugeye also continue to bite, with crawler harnesses being the top bait; some anglers are reporting success on crankbaits as well.
Highlandtown Lake (Columbiana County) - The bass bite has been explosive at this remote, Wildlife Area lake. Top-waters and crankbaits have been producing tremendous catches of schooling fish chasing gizzard shad; focus on the dam area and offshore structure. Anglers continue to catch good numbers of sunfish off the fishing pier on bobbers; some catfish continue to be caught off the bottom on chicken livers. Common carp have moved shallow to spawn and are making a ruckus in the lily pads, providing a great opportunity for bow-fishing anglers.
Seneca Lake (Guernsey/Noble counties) - Trophy striped bass can be targeted using artificial lures trolled near the first small island outside of the no-wake zone. Saugeye can be caught by drift-fishing jigs tipped with a twister tail and a minnow, or twister jigs tipped with a nightcrawler and fished slow retrieve along the bottom; the area around the upper island and submerged humps near the mouth of Cadillac Bay are always popular with anglers. Channel cats can be caught off the banks near Briar Hill Road past the last island in the upper section of the lake; try chicken livers or nightcrawlers.
Hocking River (Hocking/Athens counties) - Smallmouth bass fishing is usually popular this time of year; the best fishing tends to be in pools and near submerged structure, rocks, or root systems using minnows, roostertails, soft craws and twisters. Any of these can be effective when fished from canoes or the shoreline. Channel catfish can also be found throughout; try cut bait, bluegill and minnows.
East Fork Lake (Clermont County) - Crappies are being caught using live minnows or jigs tipped with PowerBait below nine feet; try in and around structure such as brush piles and fallen trees. Channel catfish are being caught using chicken liver under a bobber and off of the bottom off of Tunnel Mill.
CJ Brown (Clark County) - Walleye anglers are reporting success trolling deep-diving lures, keeping them between 9-14 feet.
Paint Creek Lake (Highland County) - Anglers are reporting success with crappie; try chartreuse jigs near the shore at about 3-10 feet.
Racine Dam area - Live bait has been the hot choice this week for catching both hybrid-striped and smallmouth bass; try creek chubs, shiners, or your favorite variety of live bait fished near the dam.
Meldahl Dam area - Fishing pressure was pretty slow all along the river this week due to warm weather and scattered storms. Anglers are having the most success catching hybrid-striped bass, channel catfish and flatheads on chicken livers and nightcrawlers; best times will be at dawn and dusk when the temperature is not too high.
Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler (minimum size limit is 15 inches). … The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. … The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 5 (minimum size limit is 12 inches). … The black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) daily bag limit is 5 fish (minimum size limit is 14 inches).
Western Basin: Walleye fishing was good over the past week until recent windy weather limited opportunities; the best areas were N of West Sister Island, Northwest Reef (W of North Bass Island) and American Eagle Shoal (SW of Kelleys Island). Trollers have been catching fish on worm harnesses or with divers and spoons; drifters are using worm harnesses with bottom-bouncers or are casting mayfly rigs. … Yellow perch fishing was good over the past week until recent windy weather limited opportunities; the best areas have been around the Toledo water intake, NE of West Sister Island, "C" can of the Camp Perry firing range, between South Bass and Green islands and 1 mile E of the Kelleys Island airport. Perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most. … Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good around South Bass Island; anglers are using soft-craws, tube jigs and crankbaits. Largemouth bass fishing has also been good in harbors and nearshore areas around Catawba and Marblehead.
Central Basin: Walleye fishing has been good W of the Huron dumping grounds, at the weather buoy, 1.5 miles N of Beaver Creek, nearshore from Sheffield to Avon Point, in 61-65' of water N of Gordon Park in Cleveland and in 40-42' of water NE of Chagrin River. Fishing has been excellent in 68-70' NE of Geneva and in 65-72' NW of the Ashtabula; anglers are trolling dipsy- and jet-divers with worm harnesses and yellow, orange, pink, copper and purple spoons. There has also been excellent fishing nearshore in 12-24' oNW of Ashtabula and off Conneaut; anglers are drifting Erie Dearies. … Yellow perch fishing has been excellent in 37' N of Wildwood State Park, in 33' N of Chagrin River, in 39-47' NW of Fairport Harbor (the hump) and in 45-48' N of the Conneaut. Shore anglers are catching a few fish off the East 55 Street pier in Cleveland and the long pier on the Grand River; spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. … Smallmouth bass fishing has been excellent in 15-25' around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Largemouth bass are also being caught in the same areas using soft-craws and leeches. … White bass has been good in the evenings off Euclid Beach and Sims Park in Euclid using agitators with jigs and small spoons. … Rock bass are being caught off the breakwalls in Fairport Harbor. … Channel catfishing has been very good along the Grand River using chicken livers and large chubs. … The water temperature is 69 degrees off of Toledo and 68 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. … Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating.

Smokers to face steep health insurance penalty
Updated: Sunday, September 29 2013, 07:56 PM CDT
Smokers looking to buy health insurance may soon be in for some sticker shock.
Tobacco users will face up to a 50 percent surcharge on rates when the Health Insurance Marketplace opens on Tuesday. It's all part of the Affordable Care Act , also known as Obamacare.
Because smokers rack up more health care costs than non-smokers, supporters of the rule say they should have to pay more money. They're also hoping the law will encourage more smokers to quit.
"It just gives me more motivation," said Millie Bouchard, a smoker.
She and other tobacco users we spoke with were divided on whether increased premiums would stop them from lighting up.
Rick Boyd said, "I probably should anyway, but I haven't."
But Jac Bryan, another smoker, said, "No. Nothing so far including my health has stopped me from smoking."
Insurers can start implementing the surcharges next year. Smokers shopping for insurance through the health exchanges that open Tuesday will likely see the increased rates for 2014.
Under the rule, a 25 year-old single man might be charged a premium of $150 a month, but if he's a smoker that could go up an extra $75 a month.
Older people, who can be charged as much as three times more as young people, could be hit much harder.
"I guess it's understandable in some respects," Bouchard said, "Smoking is a choice."
"It certainly contributes to health problems, but so does a lot of other things," Bryan argued.
Opponents of the rule include the American Lung Association. They say smokers need health care and that there is no proof higher costs for insurance cause smokers to quit.
"It's part of how we handle life," Bryan said, "It's part of how we handle our emotions. We get upset, we smoke a cigarette. We're happy, we smoke a cigarette."
Plans under the the Affordable Care Act are required to waive the surcharge for any smoker who enrolls in an approved program to quit.

Anyone who spent time outside on Monday knows it was windy, but the conditions aren't just ripe for bad hair days. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says the risk of wildfires is dangerously high.
The National Weather Service has issued "red flag" warnings for both Monday and Tuesday, but the DNR says those warnings are really rare -- with only four or five issued each year.
Now, strong winds and a recent drought are turning grassy areas into tinderboxes -- and a simple cigarette could send them up in flames.
Firefighters in Maplewood know all too well that even the smallest flame can quickly become a major problem after a grass fire near Fish Creek Bluff burned about five acres on Monday. Crews had to haul water from a hydrant about a half a mile away to douse hot spots and mop up the flames. Investigators still aren't sure what sparked the fire.
Right now, the majority of Minnesota is in extreme fire danger, according to the DNR.
"You get conditions where fires will start from unusual causes," explained Olin Phillips, wildfire manager for the DNR. "If you drove with your car with a catalytic converter into tall grasses, you could start a fire from that catalytic converter."
Residents living on gold counties on the DNR map need a special permit to burn anything other than a campfire, but DNR officials warn even a campfire could be risky.
"Most of the fires are started by people," Phillips said. "If people are more cautious with fire, we can avoid these bad conditions and avoid the impacts we might otherwise see."
So far, Phillips says people haven't made any mistakes, but if you do accidentally start a fire, officials say you shouldn't try to put it out yourself. At least one person dies every year from trying to extinguish a fire on their own.

2 studies show FR toxins abound
December 13, 2012-- Furniture Today,
HIGH POINT - Two recent studies continue to point to troubling links between toxic flame retardants being found regularly in homes and home furnishings.
Duke University and University of California researchers found that 85% of sofas contained toxic or untested flame-retardants, some of which are linked to cancer.
Another study by the Silent Spring Institute tested California homes, finding that most had levels of at least one flame retardant that exceeded a federal health guideline in household dust, a main route of exposure for adults and children - especially infants and toddlers who spend much time on the floor.
In testing for 49 flame retardants, the study found 36 chemicals in at least 50% of the samples, some at levels of health concern.
Both studies were published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
The American Home Furnishings Alliance released a position statement saying it was not aware of any evidence - and there was none in the study - linking the level of flame retardants typically found in home furnishings to human health problems.
Flame retardants found in the dust are used in furniture, textiles, electronics, and other products. In the Silent Spring study, the highest concentrations were found for chlorinated organophosphate flame retardants.
"Our study found that people are exposed to toxic flame retardants every day," Dr. Robin Dodson, a co-author of the study and, said in a press release. "It is troubling to see that a majority of homes have at least one flame retardant at levels beyond what the federal government says is safe."
The Silent Spring study said there is a need to modernize U.S. chemical policies to require more complete disclosure and safety testing of chemicals used in consumer products prior to sale.
California is currently revising its decades-old rule governing lame retardants known as TB-117. Over time, the rule became a de facto national standard. Separately, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission continues to work on a national standard or upholstery lammability.
The latest studies prompted a broad coalition of groups to continue calling for decreased influence by the chemical industry in regulations; better analysis of fire safety benefits; removal of toxic chemicals from upholstery; better labeling; reform of federal chemical testing; and ensuring that current toxic FR chemicals aren't replaced with other toxic chemicals.
Officials with the Sustainable Furnishings Council and the Specialty Sleep Assn. urged improved regulation of chemicals to support public health.
"The chemical industry shouldn't be able to market chemicals to manufacturers and retailers unless we know beyond a reasonable doubt that they are safe. They make the chemicals, they should be held responsible," Susan Inglis, executive director of the SFC, said in a press release.
"Business should be encouraged to reject hazardous chemicals and instead innovate and create safer chemicals and products," she said.
The Specialty Sleep Assn. encouraged manufacturers to embrace responsible sourcing and sound manufacturing practices. Manufacturers should offer healthy, environmentally sound, fire resistant options to consumers that are truthfully marketed to consumers, SSA President Dale Read said in a release.
"Savvy, aware consumers will demand to know what is inside their upholstered furniture and mattresses," Read said.
Dr. Arlene Blum, a study co-author and executive director of the Green Science Policy Institute, said in a press release that 35 years after chlorinated tris was removed from children's sleepwear, more than more than a third of American sofas contain the same toxic flame retardant.
"And sadly enough, many Americans could now have increased cancer risks from the chlorinated tris in their furniture," Blum said.

(February 26, 2010) – It was a memorable night for Joannie Rochette of Île Dupas, QC. In front of a sold out crowd at the Pacific Coliseum and the world watching, Rochette skated a beautiful free skate to Samson and Delilah which earned her the bronze medal. Rochette, the six-time Canadian Champion whose mother passed away earlier this week in Vancouver earned 131.28 points in her long program for a total combined score of 202.64.
A Canadian woman has not reached the podium since the 1988 Olympics in Calgary where Liz Manley won the silver medal.
South Korea's Yu-na Kim won the gold medal, a first in women's figure skating for her country. She skated a flawless long program and received a world-record combined points total of 228.56.
Mao Asada was solid in second place after the short program and landed two triple axels with one of them in combination in the long program. The Japanese skater finished with a total combined score 205.50.
Cynthia Phaneuf of Contrecoeur, QC was 14th after the short program and she performed a strong free skate which earned her a personal best score of 99.46 points. Her total score was 156.62 which earned Cynthia a 12th place finish.
"It was a good experience, and I am really happy of what I have done here. I am a little bit disappointed because I did not skate as I could, but at the same time, it is my best international mark. I know that I will have to build my confidence. That was my problem here, because I started well with the jumps I missed, and it is only at the end that I was changing my mind instead of going for it and showing self-confidence." said Cynthia after her long program.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – University of Maine Cooperative Extension's delegation to the National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C. has returned home from a week in which 200 youth and adults gathered to share ideas and recommendations to guide future national 4-H youth development programs across the country and at home.
Maine's delegates who attended the conference from March 24-29, 2012, include: Charlene, Cumberland County and Colleen, Waldo County.
"For almost 100 years, USDA and 4-H have partnered to produce some of our nation's best and brightest, including farmers and ranchers who have supported the American economy and put food on our tables," Tom Vilsack, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, which oversees 4-H programs through its National Institute of Food and Agriculture, told the conference. "You all are tomorrow's leaders. We need you to think big, innovate and help tackle the important challenges standing between us, a stronger middle class and a stronger nation."
Jill Biden, Second Lady of the United States and a longtime educator, spoke to conference participants about Joining Forces, the initiative she started with First Lady Michelle Obama to encourage all Americans to support military families. Biden encouraged 4-H members to not only continue their longtime support of military families, but to continue to act as role models and mentors in their communities.
"These 4-H members are extraordinary role models and mentors in their communities," Biden announced recently. "Just as our military men and women serve our country on the battlefield, these young people lead in our communities. Over the next few decades, one of the tasks that will define their generation will be their support for our returning veterans and our military families."
Participants at this year's conference took part in personal development experiences to increase their knowledge, resources and skills on issues, such as Veteran Affairs and Health Eating & Living, that matter most to them. As in previous years, delegates participated in roundtable discussions with partnering federal agencies about topics specific to issues affecting youth and communities nationwide and the role 4-H can play in addressing those issues. Topics for this year's conference included alcohol and drug use prevention, youth suicide prevention, healthy eating and living, equal education for under-represented groups, integration of veteran and military families into local communities, and using science and technology to improve local communities.
Delegates also learned about a new partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security focused on cyber security. The Stop.Think.Connect Campaign will provide 4-H with tools and resources to help raise awareness among teens and young adults about emerging online threats and the importance of cyber security. That partnership builds on the campaign's efforts to highlight curriculum resources available to schools and communities, as well as to promote cyber awareness and educate America's youth about safe online practices.
Since the first conference in 1927, the National 4-H Conference — known as the "Secretary's Conference" — continues to be the U.S. Department of Agriculture's premier youth development opportunity for engaging youth in creating recommendations for the 4-H Youth Development Program.
4-H National Headquarters seeks to promote positive youth development, facilitate learning and engage young people in the efforts of USDA and land grant universities to enhance quality of life. Nearly 6 million young people, ages 5-19, participate in 4-H programs in all 50 states, territories and military installations worldwide.
Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and extension programs, the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people's daily lives and the nation's future.

vacation rental description
Perched on the shores of South Ponte Vedra Beach, DayDream is a sun-washed, luxuriously appointed ocean front house with a wraparound deck, separate in-law suite, and even a fish-cleaning station! Make it the launchpad for your perfect Florida vacation. A winding path leads right from the door of DayDream through lush vegetation down to the beach. There's nothing like waking up in the morning and padding down in bare feet to the apricot-colored sands, your only company the terns and seagulls. Our beach is the site of magnificent sunrises, half-buried shells, soft sands, and fresh breezes. The waves are ideal for boogie-boarding or surfing, and the sands great for sandcastle-building. Of course, you don't even have to go down to the beach to enjoy the sun and salty breezes. Our huge wraparound deck, set with colorful Adirondack chairs, is perfect for enjoying the view. Accessible from the great room and master bedroom, it's a front-row seat for the dawn! Step inside and you're in our cool, airy great room, with 2 separate sitting areas, and sloping ceilings. A long, curved sectional sofa gives you views not only of the ocean but also of the large HDTV mounted on the wall. In another part of the room, right in front of two of the giant windows overlooking the sea, is another grouping of sofa and chairs. Feel free to rearrange the furniture to create one large living space if you like, but we find that when you're in a big group, it's nice to have areas for smaller confabs! The kitchen and dining areas are also nearby. The dining room table seats 8 easily and more in a pinch. We provide all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you need to prepare and serve a feast! And when dinner's over, break out the Uno. When are you all going to be in one place again for a night of family fun?! Whether you're preparing a gourmet seafood feast, whipping up hot dogs and mac 'n cheese for hungry kids, or reheating mouthwatering delicacies from one of Ponte Vedra's fine restaurants, it's a pleasure to use the kitchen at DayDream. Stainless-steel appliances, smooth tiled floors, stone countertops, and time-saving devices make things easy and enjoyable. Stop by the new Publix grocery store on your way in and stock up on goodies for the whole trip! The great room at DayDream promotes fun, while the bedrooms are quiet and calming. The master and the kids' room are upstairs, while the third bedroom, with 2 queen-sized beds, a 40-inch HDTV, and an en-suite bathroom, is downstairs via external stairs. This suite is wonderfully private, with no interior access to the second story. If you are traveling with another couple, teenagers, or grandparents, this room is absolutely perfect for them. The master bedroom offers ocean views, access to the balcony, a king-sized bed, a big HDTV, and an en-suite bath. Leave the drapes open one night and see if the bright dawn colors streaking the sky wake you up . . . or close them firmly and sleep until noon! The second bedroom might as well have a sign on the door saying, "Kids Only." With a set of bunkbeds and another twin bed, it's just made for building forts and clubhouses. An HDTV stands ready to provide quiet-time entertainment if need be. One of the sofas in the great room converts to a bed, so DayDream comfortably sleeps 10 people. And to keep everyone warm and dry, the laundry room stands by with washer and dryer. We provide all the linens you need for every bed and bath, as well as free wireless Internet service. If you forget to pack something, chances are you'll find it here. We know what it's like to bring a big group to the beach! Downstairs in the shade of the deck, is our outside shower, a sink and counter for cleaning fish, and a grill for cooking them! You may find yourself gravitating to this shady place in the heat of the day, and it's perfect for al fresco dining right on the dunes! Reserve your time at DayDream today. You'll find our house a dream come!

Note: The image and imagesc commands create image objects. Image objects are children of axes objects, as are line, patch, surface, and text objects. Like all Handle Graphics® objects, the image object has a number of properties you can set to fine-tune its appearance on the screen. The most important properties of the image object with respect to appearance are CData, CDataMapping, XData, and YData. These properties are discussed in this and the following sections. For detailed information about these and all the properties of the image object, see image.
The CData property of an image object contains the data array. In the following commands, h is the handle of the image object created by image, and the matrices X and Y are the same:
h = image(X); colormap(map) Y = get(h,'CData');
The dimensionality of the CData array controls whether the image displays using colormap colors or as an RGB image. If the CData array is two-dimensional, the image is either an indexed image or an intensity image; in either case, the image is displayed using colormap colors. If, on the other hand, the CData array is m-by-n-by-3, it displays as a truecolor image, ignoring the colormap colors.
The CDataMapping property controls whether an image is indexed or intensity. To display an indexed image set the CDataMapping property to 'direct', so that the values of the CData array are used directly as indices into the figure's colormap. When the image command is used with a single input argument, it sets the value of CDataMapping to 'direct':
h = image(X); colormap(map) get(h,'CDataMapping') ans = direct
Intensity images are displayed by setting the CDataMapping property to 'scaled'. In this case, the CData values are linearly scaled to form colormap indices. The axes CLim property controls the scale factors. The imagesc function creates an image object whose CDataMapping property is set to 'scaled', and it adjusts the CLim property of the parent axes. For example:
h = imagesc(I,[0 1]); colormap(map) get(h,'CDataMapping') ans = scaled get(gca,'CLim') ans = [0 1]
The XData and YData properties control the coordinate system of the image. For an m-by-n image, the default XData is [1 n] and the default YData is [1 m]. These settings imply the following:
The left column of the image has an x-coordinate of 1.
The right column of the image has an x-coordinate of n.
The top row of the image has a y-coordinate of 1.
The bottom row of the image has a y-coordinate of m.
For example, the statements
X = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12]; h = image(X); colormap(colorcube(12)) xlabel x; ylabel y
produce the following picture.
The XData and YData properties of the resulting image object have the following default values:
get(h,'XData') ans = 1 4 get(h,'YData') ans = 1 3
However, you can override the default settings to specify your own coordinate system. For example, the statements
X = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12]; image(X,'XData',[-1 2],'YData',[2 4]); colormap(colorcube(12)) xlabel x; ylabel y
produce the following picture.
Use basic array indexing to rasterize text strings into an existing image, as described in this section:
Draw the text strings using text, and then capture a bitmapped version of them using getframe. Then find the black pixels and convert their subscripts to indexes using sub2ind. Use these subscripts to "paint" the text into the image into which you want to add the text string, and then save that image. Here is an example using the image in the MAT-file mandrill.mat:
% Create the text in an axis: t = text(.05,.1,'Mandrill Face', ... 'FontSize',12, 'FontWeight','demi'); % Capture the text from the screen: F = getframe(gca,[10 10 200 200]); % Close the figure: close % Select any plane of the resulting RGB image: c = F.cdata(:,:,1); % Note: If you have Image Processing Toolbox installed, % you can convert the RGB data from the frame to black or white: % c = rgb2ind(F.cdata,2); % Determine where the text was (black is 0): [i,j] = find(c == 0); % Read in or load the image that is to contain the text: load mandrill % Use the size of that image, plus the row/column locations % of the text, to determine locations in the new image: ind = sub2ind(size(X),i,j); % Index into new image, replacing pixels with white: X(ind) = uint8(255); % Display and color the new image: imagesc(X) axis image colormap(bone)
To increase the rate at which the CData property of an image object updates, optimize CData and set some related figure and axes properties:
Use the smallest data type possible. Using a uint8 data type for your image will be faster than using a double data type.
Part of the process of setting the image's CData property includes copying the matrix for the image's use. The overall size of the matrix is dependent on the size of its individual elements. Using smaller individual elements (i.e., a smaller data type) decreases matrix size, and reduces the amount of time needed to copy the matrix.
Use the smallest acceptable matrix.
If the speed at which the image is displayed is your highest priority, you may need to compromise on the size and quality of the image. Again, decreasing the size reduces the time needed to copy the matrix.
Make the axes exactly the same size (in pixels) as the CData matrix.
Maintaining a one-to-one correspondence between the data and the onscreen pixels eliminates the need for interpolation. For example:
set(gca,'Units','pixels') pos = get(gca,'Position') width = pos(3); height = pos(4);
When the size of your CData exactly equals [width height], each element of the array corresponds directly to a pixel. Otherwise, the values in the CData array must be interpolated so the image fits the axes at their current size.
Set the limit mode properties (XLimMode and YLimMode) of your axes to manual.
If they are set to auto, then every time an object (such as an image, line, patch, etc.) changes some aspect of its data, the axes must recalculate its related properties. For example, if you specify
image(firstimage); set(gca, 'xlimmode','manual',... 'ylimmode','manual',... 'zlimmode','manual',... 'climmode','manual',... 'alimmode','manual');
the axes do not recalculate any of the limit values before redrawing the image.
Consider using a movie object if the main point of your task is to simply display a series of images onscreen.
The MATLAB® movie object utilizes underlying system graphics resources directly, instead of executing MATLAB object code. This is faster than repeatedly setting an image's CData property, as described earlier.

PEOPLE in Ross-on-Wye will see their council tax rise by more than £20 after the town's council this week agreed to take on a number of assets.
The Market House, the Old Chapel, the Rope Walk and Caroline Symonds Gardens will all be transferred from Herefordshire Council's control to Ross Town Council.
Car parks in Crossfields, Homs Road and Wilton Road are also included in the takeover, as are public toilets in Wye Street and Red Meadow.
The total running and maintenance costs for the assets totals £105,000.
Therefore, tax payers will be asked to pay an additional £20.79 for 2014/15 - up 38% - for a Band D household.
Councillor Chris Bartrum told Monday's meeting that the precept has not not gone up for five years and the Town Council now has a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to ensure that the buildings are not sold.
"There are great risks in that the assets proposed are very old and need regular care, but there are maximum benefits with minimal costs for the residents of Ross," he said.
A public meeting held at the Larruperz Centre on Friday resulted in the vast majority of residents saying that they were in favour of the transfer.
Meanwhile, Hereford City Council has backed a 15 per cent rise in its council tax precept for 2014/15 to pump extra money into keeping public toilets open.
The increase amounts to an extra 11p per household per week.
As proposed, the city council will take on three public toilets, including Union Street and Union Walk, as it looks to cover services cut by Herefordshire Council.
Councillor Jim Kenyon, chairman of the city council's community development committee, said consultation showed public toilets to be a number one priority.
Under the plan, users will have to pay 20p for each visit to help with the cleaning and maintenance of the facilities.
Extra funding raised through council tax will also pay for city events and repairs to paving slabs in High Town.
Discussions between Bromyard Town Council and Herefordshire Council are also ongoing to decide whether the town council can take over responsibility for the Tenbury Road car park.
The town council has also agreed to raise its council tax precept by 10% for 2014/15.
And, Leominster Town Council is looking into taking over a number of car parks, as well as the retail markets on Fridays.

We were traveling to Texas for the eWomen Network Conference last year. It was a wonderful but trying trip. I was getting so tired that it was almost dangerous for me to drive. So I pulled into a gas station for gas, and despite my skepticism I bought a 5-hour ENERGY®, opened it, and drank it down. To my surprise it tasted quite pleasant. It was amazing how fast it started working and lasted longer than five hours. I experienced no problem whatsoever. Now every time I drive somewhere I make sure that I have 5-hour ENERGY® with me. It is a wonderful product and there are no unpleasant after effects. Great stuff.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The Landregan Lecture brings to the University of Dallas campus nationally prominent figures, whose area of expertise reflects the many interests that have animated University of Dallas alumnus Steven T. Landregan throughout his long, distinguished, and continuing career of service to the Catholic Church in North Texas.
Read a brief account of the first fourteen lectures in the series.
Speaking on the topic of his popular book: What Happened in Vatican II
Rev. John O'Malley's specialty is the religious culture of early modern Europe, especially Italy. He has received best-book prizes from the American Historical Association, the American Philosophical Society, the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference, and from the Alpha Sigma Nu franternity. His best known books are The First Jesuits (Harvard University Press, 1993), which has been translated into ten languages, and What Happened at Vatican II (Harvard, 2008). He has edited or co-edited a number of volumes, including three in the Collected Works of Erasmus series, University of Toronto Press. Of special significance is The Jesuits and the Arts, (Saint Joseph's University Press, 2005), co-edited with Gauvin Alexander Bailey.
Rev. O'Malley has lectured widely in North America and Europe to both professional and general audiences. He has held a number of fellowships, from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, and other academic organizations. He is past president of the Renaissance Society of America and of the American Catholic Historical Association. In 1995 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 1997 to the American Philosophical Society, and in 2001 to the Accademia di san Carlo, Ambrosian Library, Milan, Italy. He holds the Johannes Quasten Medal from The Catholic University of America for distinguished achievement in Religious Studies, and he holds a number of honorary degrees. In 2002 he received the lifetime achievement award from the Society for Italian Historical Studies and in 2005 the corresponding award from the Renaissance Society of America. He is a Roman Catholic priest and a member of the Society of Jesus.
If so, plan to attend the annual School of Ministry Alumni Reunion immediately preceding the Landregan Lecture at 6:00 pm in Catherine Hall. Join fellow alumni in fellowship as we recognize the winners of the Dei Verbum and Lumen Gentium distinguished alumni awards. Visit the SOM Alumni Reunion webpage for more information.
This book features a history of the first ten speeches of the Landregan Lecture Series. Several of the lectures are included in their entirety in the book. As Dr. Marti Jewell explains in the introduction of the book, "All the presenters have left a legacy of challenge, invitation, scholarship and enjoyment for those who have participated in the series. We celebrate and honor their work and the contributions made by Steve Landregan to the church in North Texas by publication of this book." The book, which is dedicated to Steve Landregan, was presented to Mr. Landregan at the twelfth annual Landregan Lecture on November 6, 2010.
The Landregan Lecture Series began more than ten years ago when Dallas deacons and others made substantial contributions to establish the fund.

Gifts of any size are welcome, and make a difference. Those who give $50 or more will receive a copy of the limited edition book as a thank you. (while supplies last).

McCormick Re-Ups With The Sabres
#Sabres news. @maydayhockey says look for Cody Mccormick to sign a new 3 year deal worth 3.6M—
Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) July 01, 2011
Per Brad May (by way of Nick Kypreos), the Sabres have re-signed Cody McCormick to a 3 year, $3.6M deal. McCormick made his name for the Sabres in the 2010 first round loss to the Boston Bruins and followed it up with a full season in Buffalo. He had 20 points and 142 penalty minutes last season. His honest, old school approach to the game and versatility were a boon for the oft-bullied Sabres.
In signing McCormick, the Sabres have been in contact this morning with player agent Pat Morris. Following the team's moves for Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff, it's widely assumed by the media that they'll be talking to Morris again today about his other free agent on their radar – Brad Richards.
UPDATE: The Sabres have since confirmed McCormick's extension.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - An early morning fire caused about $150,000 in damage to a two-story La Jolla home Sunday and displaced five people who lived there, fire officials said.
The non-injury fire in the 300 block of Gravilla Street near La Jolla Boulevard was reported about 3:15 a.m., and firefighters had it knocked down in 25 minutes, a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department dispatcher said.
The fire caused about $100,000 in damage to the property and another $50,000 in damage to its contents, the dispatcher said. What sparked the blaze remained undetermined, he said.
The American Red Cross was called to assist the home's five adult residents, the dispatcher said.

The Spokane County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an Interim Zoning Ordinance that establishes additional setbacks for structures that will be engaged in the production and/or processing of recreational marijuana in rural, resource, and mineral lands in unincorporated Spokane County.
According to the interim zoning ordinance, "…an indoor or outdoor production or processing facility, temporary growing structures, greenhouse, or structure must be located a minimum of 100 feet from any front property line and 300 feet from any side, flanking, or rear property line. Provided, however, that at no time shall the parcel, lot or tract be less than eight (8) acres in size".
These setback standards were imposed to address potential impacts that include odors, effect on property values, and the potential increase in crime related to the location of production and processing structures that are in proximity to single family residences.
The interim ordinance is effective immediately. A public hearing will be scheduled within 60 days from today, allowing the Board of County Commissioners to take testimony on the interim ordinance, before making a decision to either ratify or revoke it.

The Jacksonville University men's lacrosse team has sent its first player into a professional lacrosse league as Cameron Mann – a four-year captain for the Dolphins – made his pro debut with the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League (NLL) on Dec. 28 in a game with the Edmonton Rush. He appeared again for the team on Jan. 4 against the Vancouver Stealth.
Mann was selected with the 32nd overall pick in the NLL draft this past fall, and earned his way onto the team during training camp for the Denver-based squad. He left JU either alone in first or tied for first in program history for games played (53) and started (50), assists (68), points (139) and ground balls (166). He's also second all-time in goals (71) and man-up goals (12).
Through two games, Mann has picked up eight ground balls for the Mammoth, who split their opening games at home at the Pepsi Center. Beginning tomorrow with the Calgary Roughnecks, the team is on the road for three games before returning home on Jan. 18 to play the Buffalo Bandits. All Mammoth games are televised on either the Altitude or Alt2 networks.

Measurements for Size Small:
Length: 48"
Bust: 27 ½"

Bottom Opening: 35 ½"
The straps on mine were not uneven.... and I do get a tiny bit of puckering at the base of the cut out at the back of the dress, but nothing major. If it was any looser on me perhaps it would pucker more.
My measurements: bust 32, waist 25, hips 34. Height 5'5". I ordered my usual XS.
The length hits at my knees and the dress as a whole does fit quite firmly. Obviously can't wear a bra without ruining the cut out back. It's tight enough to hold my small chest in place, however, if I was any bigger it would be too tight. So perhaps girls with a bigger bust might need to size up.
Love the cut, fit, material and pattern. This dress is a definite win!"

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Police in Rock Hill have arrested the store clerk who reported a robbery at his convenience store Monday morning.
Investigators say he and another man staged the entire thing.
Avery Greenwood, 19, of Rock Hill, is charged with criminal conspiracy and filing a false police report.
Police originally arrested Antonio Kelton Crawford, 21, around noon the same day as the reported robbery.
The incident happened Monday just before 3:30 a.m. at the Kangaroo-Marathon gas station on S. Herlong Avenue.
Police responded to the store after Greenwood called to report he had just been robbed.
He told police that a black male had come into the store armed with a handgun demanding money.
The robber walked behind the counter and told Greenwood to put numerous amounts of Black and Mild and Newport cigarettes in a black book bag. He then demanded money from both registers be put in the bag as well, the report states.
The robber then tried pushing buttons on the time lock safe to get more money before forcing Greenwood into the office and leaving the scene.
Police spoke to two other witnesses at nearby businesses who saw the man enter and leave the store.
After reviewing the surveillance video and interviewing the witnesses, police arrested Crawford around noon.
Crawford was charged with armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
Greenwood was arrested Tuesday.

Reading is fundamental, or so the saying goes. But just because a child is reading a book instead of watching TV or playing video games, that doesn't necessarily mean what they're reading is good for them.
Librarians said parents should thoroughly study what is in the books their kids are exposed to, no matter where that book is coming from.
Most parents said they know what their children are reading.
"They like scary books," said Alison Spurgeon, a parent of two children, ages 9 and 11.
"I look for books that have pictures," said Jessica Givens, who was looking for books with her five-year old daughter.
But are the books children want to read the books they should be reading?
Experts recommend reading the entire book first, but for a lot of parents, there just isn't time.
So, they said the next best thing is reading book reviews - in libraries or online.
"You can also look on vendor sites such as Amazon where people can sometimes review an item and review how successful it was for their children," said Librarian Chris Albertson.
"I look at the table of contents a lot. You can look at a book, just the first two or three lines of a chapter, and you kind of know where it's going," said Shane Evett, a parent of three.
"Just kind of flip through it...whatever is in their age section," Spurgeon said.
But, librarians said just because a child has mastered a particular reading level, that doesn't mean the book is appropriate for their age, like books found in the young adult section.
"Those books aren't necessarily segregated by the difficulty of reading, the vocabulary and the structure of the syntax but by the topics and some of those topics deal with teen suicide, drugs and those sort of things," Albertson said.
Albertson said if a child wants to read these types of books but a parent just doesn't think it's time, there's a way around it.
"My best advice would be to tell the parents to stay calm and give their children credit for being able to understand and adapt to all of the information that is available. But, to also be their guide and assist them," he said.
Exerts say it's a more important partnership than you may think.
Experts also recommend explaining to children why they can't read particular books, so they don't feel like they're being punished. They said it's a great opportunity to talk about family beliefs and standards.
