5 things to see and do in...Nuxley Village
10:32am Thursday 19th June 2014 in News By Jim Palmer, leisure editor
You have an hour or so to spare in Nuxley Village, so where do you go and what do you do?
VibeŌĆÖs picked out five things. The list is very much a snapshot, so feel free to tell us your picks by leaving a comment below or tweeting @JimNewsShopper.
Stock up on homewares
The aptly-named Walkaround is lovely for a walkaround and it stocks all manner of household essentials and inexpensive kitchen gadgets. A mini goldmine.
Go to church
It doesnŌĆÖt matter if youŌĆÖre religious or not, All Saints Church in Nuxley Road is worth a look. It is exceedingly pretty.
Have a bite
Nuxley Village has a fair few places to pick up some lunch. Highly rated are Mr ManŌĆÖs Fish and Chips at one end of Nuxley Road and Millers Pie and Mash just off the other end. Proper old fashioned grub.
WhoŌĆÖs a pretty boy, then?
Known to some (OK, maybe just me) as Nuxley Zoo, Belvedere Pets and Flowers has cuddly critters that youŌĆÖll love, from chirpy birds to guinea pigs and rabbits.
BloominŌĆÖ lovely
NothingŌĆÖs quite as lovely as a bunch from Nuxley Road Florist.
Next week we're in Blackheath. Send your tips to firstname.lastname@example.com

Where is this "Nuxley Village"? I've looked on Streetmap UK, Google Maps, Bing and Multimap - all to no avail. I have also consulted the London A - Z, an old 'Barnett's' edition, ordnance survey and the AA Guide to Great Britain. Zilch.
Can any kind soul please provide me with a link that will show this place called "Nuxley Village"?

On November 3, St. Louis County residents will be voting on Proposition E-9-1-1. If it passes, it will provide funding to improve emergency communications countywide through a one-tenth of one cent sales tax. The funds will be used to pay off a $100 million dollar bond issue for system capital costs, plus provide funds for ongoing operations maintenance, and reserves. How much is one-tenth of one cent sales tax going to cost tax payers? It amounts to a dime on every $100.00 purchase.
This improved emergency system will enable St. Louis Countys 65 police departments and 43 fire agencies to communicate on the same radio frequency and thus, meet 2012 Federal Communication Commission requirements. More importantly, these agencies will be able to better coordinate lifesaving services to our citizens. Further, the new technology will enable individuals placing emergency calls on their cell phones to be located quickly and reliably; which is not available with the Countys present 9-1-1 emergency system. Lastly, St. Louis Countys decades old emergency siren system is not supported with replacement parts, serves only parts of the county, and cannot deliver localized voice warning and instructions. Passage of Proposition of E-9-1-1 will provide funds to upgrade this system.
Vote Yes on Proposition E-9-1-1. It is important for the safety of St. Louis County residents.

Nintendo, meanwhile, countered in 2001 with the Gamecube, a cute little device with a cubical purple exterior. It ran on miniDVD discs. It had no online play. Next to an Xbox, it looked like a lunchbox. Halo, an Xbox exclusive, outsold Nintendo's flagship first-person shooter, Metroid Prime, by a two-to-one margin. The Xbox and Playstation 2 offered immensely popular franchises sorely missing from the Gamecube's offerings, such as Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo and Grand Theft Auto. The Gamecube's most popular game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, sold 7 million. The PlayStation 2's sold 17 million.
By 2006, Nintendo was in last place. While Nintendo sold about 22 million Gamecubes, Microsoft sold about 25 million Xboxes, and Sony sold 150 million Playstation 2s. What's more, Nintendo sold about one-third fewer Gamecubes than it had sold Nintendo 64s.
Nintendo's share of the market seemed likely to shrink again in the next round of consoles. Microsoft and Sony could ultimately do to Nintendo what Nintendo and Sony did to Sega, which once peddled its keystone character, Sonic the Hedgehog, on its own consoles. Nintendo and Sony shouldered it out of the hardware market until it devolved into a mere software company.
Instead, like any smart company that knows it can't keep up with its bigger competitors, Nintendo changed the game. Nintendo came up with the Wii. The console had worse graphics and a slower processor than its rivals, yet it destroyed them in sales, and it drove the company to new heights of popularity, praise and profit.
Reggie Fils-Aime, chief of Nintendo's North American division, articulated Nintendo's new strategy at the 2006 E3 Conference. "It's no longer confined to just the few," he said. "It's about everyone." Those simple words spelled out Nintendo's strategy from that day forward: Get everyone. Get the kids. Get the teen-agers. Get the parents. Get the grandparents. Get boys. Get girls. Nintendo games would not just be the unhealthy addictions of reclusive, pockmarked teen-agers or aimless twentysomethings. Nintendo games would be for everyone.

A community assistance group is devastated by the theft of Christmas toys that were meant for needy children. L.I.F.T Community Development organizers say most of the toys it had collected for the past year were stolen from a storage unit. CEO Ann McKee got a call on Friday morning telling her someone had broken into the storage unit.College Park City Councilman Joe Carn, who supports the organization's work, says the group has been providing toys to the community for seven years, and he thinks for this to happen to them is the "worst kind of evil." The organization says it has planned three toy giveaways for 300 needy families. The first is scheduled for December 20 at the Godby Recreation Center on Godby Road.L.I.F.T. Community Development was established in 2004, and they also run a food pantry and counseling services, along with other assistance. McKee says she hopes the community will pitch in and help local children have a good Christmas despite what has happened. Fulton County police are investigating the theft, and Lift hopes surveillance video from the storage facility may help them solve the case. If you'd like to help replenish the stolen toys, call L.I.F.T. Community Development at (404) 762-5600, or the College Park City Government at (404) 669-3755.

Where are the dual rear axle 6x6 2500 and 3500 Light Duty trucks?
I get that this is a "niche" market and that the only company I know of that did this (6x6 USA) or something like that went out of business.
I also know that most people that need or want 6x6 drive will be moving to a "medium" duty 4500 or larger truck.
But I have seen some interesting combinations that are custom fabed for 6x6.
Has anyone seen or does anyone have a 6x6 light duty silverado were all 6 wheels are driven?
I know dodge did a ram prototype that never made it to production.
And, yes, it can be done, and it is not cheap, but it is not as expensive as some might think:
I want to see a Silverado HD 3500 outfitted like the ram in the gallery above.
That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen!!
Never mind the extra weight from an extra axle would bog the truck down. The power plant would have to have some work done to make it useful off road. And if you don't intend to use it off road there isn't a need to have one.
Your Unicorn is becoming more rare!!

I need you to clarify what is "ugly"?
- Is it ugly because who needs that in a light duty truck?
- Is it ugly because it is a RAM?
I suppose huge trucks only need 2 axles also with the right engine, tranny, and drive train? Why would a topkick need tandem axles.... just put 1 huge axle with 10 times the load capacity right? and a bigger engine and tranny.
I would consider full size trucks with 4.5ft short beds just as "ugly" then? So you bought a full size truck to go grab grocery's ?
Why is it ugly? Aesthetics!!
Has nothing to do with the brand. It just looks like something not so well thought out.
To me this one looks like some time was spent designing it before anything was cut or welded.
The reasons most Top Kicks have tandem rear wheels isn't for offroading. Those things are usually hauling/towing a load with weight. So it is needed to increase it's capacity.
Although my bed isn't much longer than the 4.5' one you mentioned but the F@#D Exploder Sport Trac is almost as ugly as the 6x that you posted a pic of. And yes it is only good to grab groceries.
most any thing that really needs dual rear axles is something so far beyong what 99% of people need, why build it? if you REALLY need dual rear axles for weight carrying capacity, you NEED a full blown truck, and by that i mean something capable of 30,000 lbs plus, not a 1 ton pickup.

Happily surprised...
Review submitted: April 30, 2013 Date of arrival: March 27, 2013
We found the house to be even better than the photos and much better than the negative review we saw just before arriving. I believe the owner Jim and Cindy(property manager?) took that negative review to heart and did a thorough clean up and repairs before we got there. It actually was perfect for our family vacation. We were there over Spring Break and Easter. The three grandchildren(3,5,6 years old) and 4 adults loved it. There was plenty of sitting area and play room for all of us.Loved the foliage in the front and back...was very Zen Gardeny. The back deck was relaxing and the children loved playing in the back and being in the boat for a short adventure on the canal.It was a bit of a walk for the kids to the beach,found that packing everyone up in the van and parking on the beach was so much easier. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at home. If you are counting on the bicycles check first to see if they are available...otherwise you may need to rent them. It is a great way to explore the area and pick up groceries, or go to the beach. We found the house had much more character and warmth than the pink,blue,and white interiors of many of the condos . I have to add a special thank you to Cindy who went the extra mile when we had concerns or helping out when we had problems with the rental car..even offering to take us grocery shopping....thank you for making it a great memory and vacation.

Canadian Couple loves this Place!!
Review submitted: April 14, 2013 Date of arrival: March 15, 2013
We rented this cozy New Smyrna Beach home for the second time in two years. We love the area with its funky restaurants and hospitality. The home was spotless and it was tidy with its unique décor. The gardens were peaceful as the house is located on a quiet lagoon in a friendly neighbourhood. Loved having my own laundry facilities just steps from master bedroom/master bath. All conveniences of home with a lovely Florida room to have that morning cup of java, how serene. just stroll down the street to some of the best dining establishments, our favourite, The Garlic. Our host and hostess were always a call away if we had any questions. Such a nice spot, we would recommend to all.

Property Not Maintained
Review submitted: March 9, 2013 Date of arrival: March 1, 2013
Very disappointed in this rental. Pictures shown are obviously from some time ago. This property has not had regular maintenance inside or out. The house needs a thorough cleaning from top to bottom and the yard is overgrown. The back deck is rotting and we stepped thru the boards in a few places - the railing was barely holding on. We rented this property because it was located on the water, and that there were bikes, a rowboat and surf boards. We didn't use any of these - the bikes were covered in cobwebs and dirt and I'm sure the tires had not been checked recently - we decided we wouldn't chance any breakdowns. One of the rowboats was partially buried in dirt the other smaller one was hung on the side of the deck where the railings were loose - we decided we wouldn't take our chances trying to get it in the water. We had to search for the surfboards and would have had to dig them out from a back fenced area full of other junk. The garden areas are overgrown and full of potted plants that are either dying or overgrown - what he calls the Zen Garden is anything but Zen. We did not meet the owner as he had the flu when we arrived and we worked with the real estate agent that fills in for him. Cindy did everything she could to help us even came to the house after 8 on a friday night to help us with the cable that wouldn't work. She suggested places to eat and had tried to get the house somewhat ready for guests as it hadn't been used in some time. To use the washer and dryer you need to go outside around the side of the house and it is located in a small closet like area with a sliding door. There is no easy (or clean) way to transfer clothes from the washer to the dryer. This could be a lovely place to stay if it were just given some good elbow grease. We are a do-it-yourself family and do not expect anything fancy - clean yes.
Owners response:
I had a health problem the last 3 months and have now given the home to someone else to manage. The deck has already been replaced after you had written me.. The house is completely done over and had a deep clean. Everything is nice and fresh again.
The bikes I have replaced 2 or 3 times now renters drive on the beach and the salt water is hard on them even though we ask to rinse them down after their ride. They can be rented now through a company here right on the beach for inexpensive money. The rowboat that was buried is for flowers. There was another boat there. You came down during our winter so all the flowers hide their heads and come back out in the spring. To see the water you merely had to walk 10 seconds out to the right of the deck where the table and chairs are to have a nice view of the lagoon.
The tropical part of that garden are the majestic palms, banana trees, papayas, Queen palms and the flowers. They are beautiful from the spring on. We had 3 frosts this year and then everything grows back beautiful. Those pots are full of flowers and are already growing back.
The wash machine and dryer are outside of the master bedroom you didn't have to walk around the whole home you just needed to open the door. We have laundry baskets there to put your clothes in from the washer then you place in the dryer. Not really sure why you had a problem with that?
My main concern is that you were not happy. I would offer you a discounted rate next time you would like to come back down. Repeat customers are important to me.

Tropical Paradise great neighborhood walk to beach
Review submitted: January 22, 2012 Date of arrival: November 4, 2011
First time we have used a home instead of a hotel; gee what a great experience, the space and privacy was our very own beach home getaway, interesting decor with lots of great finds from the wonderful local antique stores and flea markets. The house is on a Canal with beautiful tropical plants surrounding the home, really gives you a feel of Old FLorida, the area is the same very cute walkable or bike everywhere, for the money the property was clean and the owner was attentive to our needs and gave us great tips for where to go and what to do.. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home, Suzanne

Review submitted: September 14, 2011 Date of arrival: August 27, 2011
My family and I stayed in this cozy home for 2 weeks, and we had a great time.
Jim the owner was a great guy very friendly and helpful and also flexible with our check in times.
The home had bikes that we all used for fun to go to the beach or Flagler ave for dinner and all was close.
We enjoy kayaking and really loved the Lagoon at JB's. We saw all types of birds, dolphins and Manatees were the highlite of the day.The home was clean and bright. We liked having breakfast outside near the lagoon and feeding the pet tarpon that live in there. We would recogmend this home to families or anyone that just wants a clean nice place close to the beach and Flagler ave.
Thank you Jim for all the tips where to go. We'll be back.

Not right for us
Review submitted: August 4, 2011 Date of arrival: June 26, 2011
Although the property essentially lived up to its description, my husband and I were a little uncomfortable once we arrived, especially after we noticed a beebe gun hole in one of the windows. When my husband asked the owner about the hole he told us it was caused by a boy from the neighborhood who had fired the bullet from across the street. The owner acted like it wasn't a big deal, but it is. We have a baby and a toddler and safety is a top priority.
Garbage cans in the bathrooms weren't fully cleaned and WiFi didn't work (owner made it sound like we just had to figure out how to fix that ourselves - um, no).
There is an expectation of quiet enjoyment when you rent any property. While not a disaster by any means, the conditions caused us a degree of concern and the more we thought about it, we were not comfortable staying at the property.
When we mentioned not being sure that we a good match for the house, the owner made it very clear that it was a done deal. He seemed more interested in the money than our own comfort and satisfaction. Had we been given the option, we would have walked away.
Lesson learned: we'll only rent a property AFTER we've seen it in person first.
That being said, the owner said he's had many happy people stay at his house. We just didn't fall into that category.
Owners response:
I would like to reply to your email.
The property does live up to it's decription just like you wrote. Thank you.
New Smyrna Beach is like Mayberry in the Andy Griffin show just a slow friendly beach town.
The glass issue was a weed wacker that hit a rock and sprung up and hit the window. This home is in a beautiful beach side neighborhood and no one is running around with guns. My neighbor across the way is an older woman, not Annie Oakley:O)
After waiting for you to arrive 3 hours later then you had told me, I used the bathroom to wash my hands after gardening and threw a tissue into the waste basket. The cleaning crew I have is great that was my mistake, but surely not a reason not to take the home.
Florida does have afternoon showers with lightning . Bright House the local cable company told me to unplug the power for 1 min and plug back in and the internet worked. That can happen but was fixed immediately. You did not even give me a chance to
repair it.
I don't like to see any customer unhappy. Nest time you come back and visit please try me again. I would give you a 20% discount.

Beach rental
Review submitted: July 17, 2010 Date of arrival: July 8, 2010
Our family's first house rental experience and they couldn't have made it easier for us. Very, very friendly, flexible, and helpful.
House is in a residential neighborhood about 1/2 mile from the beach. It worked out great for our family. They allowed us the use of the four bikes, so the young set could get around independently. The space of the house was quite helpful, because we needed four rooms for the family to sleep in. Kitchen is fully equiped and the kids liked the TV. Back yard wasn't used much simply because we needed to be in Florida during the midst of the summer heat. But the kids liked feeding the (large !) fish right off the dock.
We really liked the experience, but of course it's a person's own home so it's got a lot more "character" than a sterile hotel room.
We will strongly consider renting this property again in the future and recommend it to others.
FYI locally, we ate at Blackbeard's - it was good; loved the French Bakery on the highway; coffee and snacks along Flagler Ave. Our Florida family strongly recommends Norwoods right down the block. Most popular activities, biking, hanging out at the beach, and renting kayaks at JB's fish camp and seeing the manatees.

Broadway playwright Theresa Rebeck, who created the NBC series, was let go after the first season, replaced by Safran, who oversaw the New York City-set (and shot) "Gossip Girl" on another network (that soapy series concluded in late 2012).
As ratings dipped in the February-to-May 2012 first season of "Smash," fans and critics grumbled that the show — which promised backstage intrigue surrounding the making of a Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe — was focusing too much on the homelife of its playwright-lyricist character, Julia, played by Debra Messing. And too much on the worklife of mayoral press agent Dev (played by Raza Jaffrey), the boyfriend of rising star Karen, played by Katharine McPhee. (Julia's husband and Karen's boyfriend will be shed early in Season Two.) That was just the beginning of the criticism.
But the buzz, negative and otherwise, seemed to prove that "Smash" was on to something, that a wide audience still believes that there's no people like show people — and that their stories are worth dramatic exploitation. Shedding hope that "Smash" is something dramatically sophisticated may be the secret to enjoying it. It wants to be a soap, not "The Jewel in the Crown."
On a break from shooting Season Two in New York, Safran gave us a few minutes to talk about his passion for musicals and his approach to "Smash."
|photo by Will Hart/NBC
I can't wait to see what you do with Season Two of "Smash." The season premiere is a two-hour episode?
Joshua Safran: It is. You know, it was not initially produced that way. We didn't know it was going to be a two-hour premiere when we shot them. We just thought it was Episode One and Two. If we'd known, we'd probably have made it like a continuous timeline. Several weeks span over the course of two episodes.
Where are we at the top of the new season? Does it pick up right after the Boston tryout of Bombshell?
JS: The first hour of the premiere opens with closing night of Bombshell in Boston, and then we quickly follow our characters as they return to New York City, and the rest of the two-hour premiere kind of takes place the day they return through, like, a week — pretty much a week, week-and-a-half.
One of the things that was so accurate about the first season is that putting together a show does not happen overnight. There are obstacles.
JS: Right. Although I know a lot of people were upset about how accelerated it was last season, which I understand, but it's television. You don't have the luxury of following a show from its initial concept all the way through a workshop through production, which really could be five years. Here, in sort of "Smash" show-time, we kind of take it like a year-and-a-half, when you look back at it all — maybe a little bit under. This year, our goal was: we knew that the audience had already been on this journey of watching this show get to its out-of-town tryout, so we thought it might be fun to broaden the view and show more shows than just one this season, so that we could see the different stages of their process, and not feel like we were racing to get to Broadway.

She married Harvey H. Bechard Feb. 12, 1939, at Sacred Heart Church in Chazy. Maud was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed many hobbies such as camping, tending to her flower and vegetable gardens, and feeding and watching the birds. Maud worked at Chazy Hotel for many years as a chef, although cooking for family was one of her greatest joys. She also loved to share stories of her childhood, which was filled with laughter and love.
Maud was a parishioner of Sacred Heart Church, a life member of the Altar Rosary Society, and a volunteer for the Catholic Faith Formation of Sacred Heart Parish from 1962 to 1980.
Her loving family includes her two daughters, Shirley Blair and husband James of Chazy, and Lucy Monette of Champlain; six grandchildren, Kimberly Blair Maglione, Brenda Bourque, Suzanne Currier, George Monette, Sean H. Bechard and Rebecca Bechard; nine great-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
In addition to her parents, Maud is preceded in death by her husband, Harvey H. Bechard; her son, Floyd H. Bechard; her sisters, Amelia Spence, Pauline Lucia, Helena Latourneau, Leona Ball, Catherine Dumar, Ann Yanowski, and Florence Corron; and her brothers, Clarence, Charles, Clifford and Triffly Lucia.
The family wishes to acknowledge the staff of Meadowbrook Heath Care Facility, especially staff on the fourth floor, for their exceptional care during Maud's residency.
Calling hours will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, at M.B. Clark Funeral Home, 196 Elm St., Champlain, NY.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 12, at Sacred Heart Church, Church St., Chazy, NY. Rev. Raymond J. Moreau, Pastor, will celebrate the Mass. Interment will follow in the parish cemetery.
Contributions in Maud's memory may be made to Sacred Heart Church Religious Education Program or Masses may be said in her memory.

Accept patois for what it is
Dear Editor,
If I were a lawyer and patois was a client I would say on behalf of my client, "Mi deh ya fi tan, mi nah go no weh so all who deh try get rid a mi, wake up."
I am yet to understand why so many Jamaicans are trying to get rid of their native language with the hope of replacing it with that of others. Whether we want to accept it or not, patois is here to stay because it is who we are. We will never get rid of it, not even when it is mandated by all schools or society at large.
Patois is who we are. As some say, it is a syncopated version of the English language. Truth be told, it is our official language.
In a recent article, the author mentioned that patois would never gain widespread acceptance because Jamaica does not have any political or economic power. Creole that the Haitians speak is accepted worldwide as the native tongue of Haiti. As patois is a syncopated version of English, so is creole a syncopated version of French. I guess he didn't know that. The Haitians do not speak proper French any better than we speak proper English, but their language is accepted worldwide. As we know, Haiti does not have any economic or political power, so I guess his statement needs to be retracted. I can list dozens of other countries that use what he calls a syncopated version of the original, yet their version is accepted worldwide. The only people that have a problem with our patois are Jamaicans, not the world at large.
Jamaicans need to accept patois for what it is. We have a problem accepting who we are as Jamaicans and that is why Jamaica is in the condition it is. We tend to try too much to be like others, instead of just simply being who we are. Our children are bleaching themselves to look like others, our culture is being railroaded by others because our radio stations and other media outlets seem to put that of others over their own.
When we finally accept patois for what it is, then and only then will our children start achieving passing grades in English; you can mark my words on that one. There is no way you can deny who you are and then expect to be successful at becoming something else. You must first embrace who you are, and if change is needed then it will come gradually. If English was to be our first language, we wouldn't have to go to school to learn it. It would have come as naturally as patois came to us.
Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying we shouldn't learn the Queen's precious language, but it must never be done at the cost of who we are as a people. We must first embrace patois and accept it for what it is - our native tongue - and then add English as a second language. To do otherwise is a waste of time because, as my client would say, "Mi deh ya fi tan, mi no plan fi go nuh weh, try oono best, but oono nah get rid a mi."

During their recent three-game winning streak, several units on the Raiders have played well. However no group of been players has been more instrumental in the team's success than the linebackers.
According to WLB Kamerion Wimbley, the reason the unit has been so good is that each of the three starters has a well-defined role in the defense and the corresponding skill set. Wimbley, the team's top pass rusher, told PFW that he is a "lead by example guy." That example, which includes four sacks in Week 10 against the Chargers and a game-changing interception versus the Bears two weeks later, has rubbed off on his teammates.
Second-year MLB Rolando McClain and recently acquired SLB Aaron Curry each play important roles alongside Wimbley. McClain calls the plays for the defense and is in charge of lining everyone up correctly. Meanwhile, Curry has sparked an improvement in both pass and run defense since being acquired on Oct. 13.
"Well Rolando is the quarterback of the defense, I believe he is the heart and soul," Wimbley said of McClain. "He understands this defense inside and out and we rely on him during the games to lead us, and he's done a great job of doing that so far this season."
On Curry, Wimbley said: "One of the first things that I think of when you mention Aaron is energy. This guy brings so much energy and excitement to the game, and he knows his stuff as well, so that's also a plus. He came right in and just was no let-off or anything like that. He just hopped right into the playbook, hopped onto the field and contributed immediately."
The most important of the three might be Wimbley. With exceptional speed and instincts, he can single-handedly force an opposing team to trash its game plan. Though he occasionally lines up at defensive end in the team's nickel and dime packages, the sixth-year pro — in his second season in the Silver and Black after four years with the Browns — believes that it is the linebackers who will be the key to the Raiders' late-season push to the playoffs.
"We know, as the linebackers, our job is to get everybody in the right place, to fit the gaps whenever there's run plays. But also we have to be responsible in getting on the right man in coverage and being on top of our assignments," Wimbley said. "The main thing that we always talk about in our defense is stopping the run and no big plays. … We know later in the year you basically have to do everything you can to eliminate the things that could hurt you and eliminate penalties and mistakes. But you also want to be fast and aggressive and create turnovers."

The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
• "Everyone is talking about Green Bay as a front-runner this year. What is funny to me — I don't see how Aaron Rodgers won't be under siege again like he was last year with (OLT Chad) Clifton and (ORT Mark Tauscher) back. It's the same guys protecting the edges. They did not get younger. (Rookie Bryan) Bulaga could help, but it's hard to have big expectations for a rookie. I will say this — they are going to need him by the end of the year. ... The other part that is scary is — who is playing corner? (Charles) Woodson is still one of the best, but (Al) Harris is the oldest corner in the league and coming off a knee injury (he'll miss the first six weeks of the season on the PUP list). Tramon Williams is not very good. And outside of Clay Matthews and Cullen Jenkins, they don't have much of a pass rush."
• "(Broncos OLB) Elvis Dumervil is not a great put-your-hand-in-the-dirt (pass rusher). He is no DeMarcus Ware or James Harrison. He's not Shawne Merriman when (Merriman) is healthy. He's not LaMarr Woodley or even Calvin Pace. Those guys are difference makers. I couldn't believe (Denver) gave him $43 million guaranteed. You could look at his sack production (league-leading 17 in 2009), but a lot of the time he came free, he was coming untouched or (offensive lines) were confused. ... (Terrell) Suggs is a lot better than Dumervil. The way those guys are played, they rarely had to beat a tackle one-on-one with a rush move. The same with Joey Porter. A lot of it is the scheme-blitz package."
• "The worst thing about the Reggie Bush sanctions is that they are penalizing guys who are no longer there. (USC RB coach) Todd McNair is gone. Pete (Carroll) is not there. What hurts most are the bowl game (restrictions). That is money out of the pocket. And taking 10 scholarships away for three years — you figure if they would have hit on three solid starters of those 10 (lost scholarships) each year, that is nine starters they are losing (in three years), and there probably would have been a few first-rounders in that group. (The diminishing talent level) equates to a few losses. Add it up and it's probably a $12 million to $18 million hit on the (athletic) program. (The NCAA) hit them where it hurts most — in the pocketbook."
• "I don't think Baltimore's defense is going to be very good. The defense is old and cannot cover. They lost their corner (Domonique Foxworth). Kelly Gregg and Trevor Pryce are old. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are not getting younger, and Reed won't be ready until October, it looks like. Their two corners — (Fabian) Washington and (Lardarius) Webb are both coming off knee (injuries) and have never been great. They do have an offensive line and a young quarterback and a good back, but the strength of their roster has done a complete 180. It used to be that if they scored two touchdowns, they would win (because) they would only give up 10 points. Now they can score 24-30 points, but they will be giving up 30 instead of 10 like before."
• "(Eagles defensive coordinator Sean) McDermott was not nearly as good as (the late) Jim Johnson. Not close. There are only a few guys that really know how to create matchup havoc. Obviously, Dick LeBeau in Pittsburgh is one. Rex Ryan is exceptional. It sure helps to have great players, but it really helps to have the coordinators who can put you in the right positions to make plays."
• "I have to believe the NFL will have expansion within five years. Doesn't that have to be part of the new CBA? Players can make up (some of the) money (owners are seeking to take back) by getting two expansion teams. If the union is forced to take a pay cut (from the current deal), two more teams would close the gap. Two more stadiums would increase revenues. You move to 18 games and you have two bye weeks."

Blade is one of the best dogs ever! And, one of the best things is that he was rescued (by me) from a rough environment. I've had him since he was about 12 weeks old! He's literally been my best friend ever since, sounds crazy considering he's a dog.. but its true! He loves to run, jump, bark at cats, play ball, chew raw hides, and snuggle with his momma! This picture was taken recently, on his first birthday!

There are two flavors: regular mesh and XCR - I got the XCR (Gore-Tex) version.
I'm going to have to agree with the other viewers - these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. This in large part due to the design of the shoe; with the tongue eliminated, slipping into the shoe is much like slipping on a light neoprene sock as it cradles your foot nicely. I have med-wide feet and these shoes keep me going for miles without blisters or hot spots where others have failed. They are also waterproof (the XCR version), even after prolonged exposure to 2-3 inches of water as a freak squall caught me in a valley once.
*Waterproof (XCR version)
*Incredible comfort and fit
*lacing system is a joy
*Wide platform for stability
*The rubber toe-bumper portion of sole has begun peeling up
*They don't breathe as well as the non-XCR version

Use: approach shoe, short hikes.
Break-in Period: 1month

wow, these shoes are terrible. In hindsight I don't know why I bought them. The shortcomings are obvious. There is no rand around the side or (barely) toe to protect against normal wear, so they sustained a lot of damage quickly just from light hiking. The tie mechanism is worthless. I will take shoe strings please. All this is only after three hikes. I returned the shoes and got the Vasque Gore-tex shoes. They are awesome!

Price Paid: $130
i bought these shoes after watching Man vs Wild and noticed Bear Grylls wearing them while he tackelled all different types or terrain. So I ordered a pair on-line and am wearing them ever since. I used to have to wear foot inserts b/c of my bad feet, but these shoes support the complete foot giving me greater comfort then I had while using the inserts. Bottom line buy them, you will love them!

Day one of WE Fest 2013 is in the books. The country music event brings around 45,000 people a day through Saturday.
Campers all around have been coming year after year to WE Fest, and they have an idea how to stay safe. "It's really important to be here with people that are going to watch your back," Kaitlyn Teske says, who's been coming for five years, "I mean all of us take care of each other. We all make sure we are together all the time. We're not just letting people wander off on their own, because it's even a matter of getting lost because this is a huge complex."
The area becomes a city itself for a weekend. Overnight, there are about 30,000 campers around the Soo Pass Ranch. To keep people safe, Becker County Sheriffs patrol the area along with a private security company and Horse Patrol. "There's a camp manager with a very large staff in each and every camp ground, and so any questions or any help you need there's always someone very close." says WE Fest coordinator John Gourley.
And as Kaitlyn says, campers make friends with their neighbors and keep an eye out for each other. "Everybody just looks out for each other and just makes sure nobody is lost or stumbling down the hill or anything rogue."
Staying safe because the weekend is about fun with friends and the concerts. "I'm definitely here for the music, camping and hanging out with everybody is just a bonus," Kaitlyn says.
Becker County Sheriff and Detroit Lakes Police are patrolling the roads outside the grounds. Last year, they made just 10 DWI arrests, but pulled over 190 vehicles for driving too fast.

Our Science – Berzofsky Website
Jay A. Berzofsky, M.D., Ph.D.
T Lymphocyte Recognition of Antigens and Applications to Vaccines for AIDS and Cancer
Our research focuses on elucidating new fundamental principles governing T cell activation, regulation, and effector function, and employing these to develop more effective vaccine and immunotherapy strategies for HIV, cancer, and viruses causing cancer. This involves several steps that together comprise a push-pull approach.
First, we optimize the antigen to improve immunogenicity by epitope enhancement, changing the amino acid sequence to increase affinity for the relevant major histocompatibility (MHC) molecule. We have done this for several cancer antigens, including the prostate cancer antigen, TARP, and have now completed a phase I/II clinical trial in Stage D0 prostate cancer patients with rising PSA levels to determine whether the TARP peptide vaccine can reduce the rate of PSA rise. The slope of PSA rise was significantly reduced in 72-74% of patients at 24 and 48 weeks, respectively. A randomized controlled phase II trial is about to open.
The second step is to push the response with molecular adjuvants, such as cytokines and Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, to improve not only the quantity but also the quality of the response. We published that IL-15 is an important mediator of CD4 T cell help for CD8 T cells, in that it is sufficient to substitute for help in animals depleted of CD4 T cells, to allow a memory CD8 response and prevent TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, and also it is necessary for help. If dendritic cells (DCs) cannot be induced by helper cells to make IL-15, then the help is not adequately delivered to CD8 T cells. We also found that IL-15 increased the avidity of the CD8 T cells, necessary for effective clearance of virus or tumor cells. We extended this research to human CD8 T cells and showed that a primary in vitro CD8 T cell response was dependent on CD4 help but that IL-15 could be substituted, but not IL-2. IL-15 also restored the in vitro responses of CD8 T cells from HIV-infected individuals. We also found that IL-15 affects DC and CD4+ T cell subpopulations in the gut mucosa.
We also investigated TLR ligands as adjuvants, because these can mature DCs and induce their production of cytokines like IL-12 and IL-15. We published a study showing synergy between pairs of TLR ligands that work through different intracellular signal transducers, MyD88 or TRIF, and determined the mechanism in DCs involving unidirectional cross-talk from TRIF to enhance MyD88-dependent cytokine production. We have now found a triple TLR ligand combination that induces more effective protection against virus infection. This combination does not increase T cell quantity, but improves quality by inducing higher avidity T cells, and induces more IL-15 production, accounting for the higher avidity. We tested the triple TLR ligands, IL-15, both or neither as vaccine adjuvants in a peptide-prime, MVA-boost mucosal vaccine for SIV in macaques, challenging intrarectally with SIVmac251. Only the macaques receiving both types of adjuvants showed some protection, so we investigated correlates of protection. In the adaptive immune arm, surprisingly only polyfunctional CD8 T cells specific for SIV antigens, but not total specific T cells measured by peptide-MHC tetramer binding, correlated with protection. In the innate immune arm, we found the adjuvants induced long-lived innate protection induced by the adjuvant combination. Thus, vaccine strategies that induce both innate and adaptive immunity may be the most efficacious.
The third step is to target the immune response to the relevant tissue, the mucosa in the case of HIV. We have studied mucosal T cell trafficking and discovered a lack of equilibrium between the intraepithelial compartment and the lamina propria in the small intestine, leading to a distinct founder effect in the narrower repertoire of intraepithelial T cells. We have previously compared mucosal versus subcutaneous delivery of a peptide AIDS vaccine in macaques and found that only the mucosal route induced CD8 T cells in the gut mucosa and was more effective at reducing virus load even in the blood because it more effectively cleared virus from the major reservoir for SIV replication in the gut mucosa that was seeding the bloodstream. We further found that induction of such CD8 T cells in the gut mucosa before intrarectal challenge with an AIDS virus could significantly delay dissemination of virus from the initial site of infection in the mucosa to the bloodstream. We conclude that the local CD8 T cell response was able to reduce the initial nidus of infection at the site of transmission, and that if we could more completely eradicate the virus at the initial nidus of infection, we might nip it in the bud and abort the infection before it disseminated and became established. We showed that this protective effect was correlated with induction of high avidity CD8 T cells in the gut mucosa, and not with CD8 T cells in the blood or peripheral lymph nodes. Development of a mucosal vaccine for HIV is most important because 85-90% of transmission is through a mucosal route, either genital or gastrointestinal, and because the major site of replication is in the gut mucosa, regardless of the route of transmission. We then devised a nanoparticle vaccine coated in a way to allow release in either the small or large intestine after oral delivery. Delivery to the large intestine mimicked intrarectal immunization by a more practical route, and achieved protective T and B cell immunity against both rectal and vaginal viral challenge, whereas delivery to the small intestine did not. We have translated these findings to non-human primate studies where we have preliminary evidence of activity, as the preclinical basis for a human clinical trial. In the process, we discovered that the small and large intestinal mucosae are separate subcompartments in which we can selectively induce a response by targeting the antigen for release in one or the other. This implies different homing receptors for T cells to each compartment. We found that colonic DCs program T cells to preferentially return to the colon, in contrast to small intestinal DCs that induce homing to the small intestine, attributable to different levels of retinoic acid and induction of different chemokine receptors. We also found that colonic DCs can patrol the gut lumen near colon patches under chemokine control and bring antigen back to the lamina propria.
The fourth step is to pull the response by removing the brakes, i.e., blocking the negative regulatory mechanisms that inhibit the immune response. We previously discovered a new immunoregulatory pathway involving NKT cells that suppresses tumor immunity. The NKT cells make IL-13 that induces myeloid cells to make TGF-β, which suppresses the CD8 T cell response. However, as we and others have also seen that NKT cells can protect against tumors, we needed to resolve this paradox. We found that type I NKT cells (using an invariant TCRα chain) protected, whereas type II NKT cells (using diverse T cell receptors) suppressed immunity. Moreover, selective activation of type I or type II NKT cells showed they cross-regulated each other, defining a new immunoregulatory axis, analogous to the axis between Th1 and Th2 cells that has profoundly affected immunology. The NKT cells are among the first responders, so the balance along the NKT axis could influence subsequent adaptive immune responses. We found that type II NKT cells also suppress conventional CD4 and CD8 antigen-specific T cells, so they are broadly suppressive. We are examining the mechanisms of suppression and also investigating the relationship between suppressive NKT cells and CD25+ Foxp3+ T regulatory cells. In one tumor model we find that both Treg cells and type II NKT cells can suppress tumor immunity, but that the effect of the latter is counterbalanced by type I NKT cells so this third T cell regulates the balance between the regulators. In trying to tip the balance along the NKT regulatory axis, we find that blocking IL-13 can delay growth of spontaneous, autochthonous tumors even in HER-2 transgenic mice that develop aggressive independent tumors in all 10 mammary glands. Conversely, stimulating with a type I NKT cell agonist can protect against tumors. We discovered a new class of NKT cell agonist represented by beta-mannosylceramide, that protects against tumors by a novel mechanism dependent on TNF and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) but not on interferon-gamma, distinct from that of alpha-galactosylceramide which is dependent on interferon-gamma and not on TNF or NOS. We are exploring the mechanism of this protection, but because this new agonist avoids natural alpha-gal antibodies and induces less anergy than alpha-GalCer, and because it synergizes with alpha-GalCer and also stimulates human iNKT cells, we are pursuing it as an immunomodulator to improve immunity against human cancer. We are comparing different NKT agonists, so that we may be able to tailor the protective response to fit different conditions and to achieve synergy between different mechanisms of protection.
A key mediator of the NKT regulatory pathway and an important regulator of T regulatory cells is TGF-β. We have found that blockade of TGF-β can protect against certain tumors in mice, and can synergize with anti-cancer vaccines in two mouse models. The protection is dependent on CD8 T cells, and when used in combination with a vaccine, the anti-TGF-β increases the number of both total and high avidity CD8 T cells. We have translated this into a human clinical trial of a human anti-TGF-β monoclonal antibody in a CRADA with Genzyme, in melanoma and renal cell cancer. The phase I study showed some activity including one 89% partial remission. We would like to combine the antibody with a vaccine to induce anti-cancer immunity.
Another important mediator of negative regulation is the myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC). This population is known to increase in cancer and HIV infection. We have now found that it can also be increased by vaccines, and can thus reduce the efficacy of the vaccine. We found that rhesus macaques given an AIDS vaccine intrarectally had more MDSCs than animals given the same adjuvants without the vaccine, and that protection was diminished by the presence of the MDSCs. T cell activity was increased by depletion of MDSC, and the MDSCs were shown to suppress when added into T cell cultures. Thus, vaccine design must take into account ways to prevent this vaccine-induction of MDSCs.
Finally, we published that an adenovirus vaccine expressing the extracellular and transmembrane domains of HER-2 can cure large established mammary cancers and lung metastases in mice. The mechanism surprisingly involves antibodies that inhibit HER-2 function, rather than T cells. We have now made a similar recombinant adenovirus expressing the human HER-2 domains and have opened a clinical trial in human cancer patients that is accruing patients first who are naive to trastuzumab and if safe in that setting, patients who have failed trastuzumab.

School-based teacher training
More than 300 teachers from Kosovo* will receive basic training on how to teach for intercultural understanding, based on a four stage model of competence development in teacher education: developing sensitivity and awareness in concepts and principles of intercultural understanding, developing knowledge and understanding, developing individual practice and developing societal practice.
Interculturalism and the Bologna Process, an EU funded project managed by European Commission Liaison Office and implemented by the Council of Europe will organise school-based training sessions for 13 groups of local primary school teachers from seven different regions of Kosovo on 15-16 April 2011 coached by their trainers from the Pestalozzi Programme of the Council of Europe.
The local teacher trainers have been trained by experienced international trainers from the Pestalozzi Network of Trainers using the method developed by the Council of Europe training programme for education professionals. The whole process was carefully co-ordinated by the Kosovo Pestalozzi Liaison Officer nominated by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of Kosovo. The training for the trainers was held from 2009 - 2011 in the framework of the Interculturalism and the Bologna Process and will culminate with the certification of the trainers in accordance with the valid accreditation issued by the Council for Accreditation and Licensing of MEST. While locally trained teachers will hold school-based seminars in multiple locations in Kosovo, training sessions will be organised for pre-service teachers at the Teachers Faculty in Leposavic and in Pristina.
*All reference to Kosovo, whether the territory, institutions or population, in this text shall be understood in full compliance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 and without prejudice to the status of Kosovo.
