Spring 2011 Runoff Update | May 11, 2011
Author: Trouts Staff
Well this spring is turning out to be just as unpredictable weather wise as we've seen in past years. With rain and snow in the forecast for most of the state for the next two days, things are definitely going to get interesting here through the rest of May. The Denver Front Range is in dire need of any precipitation, so this rain in my opinion is a much welcome surprise. In the mountains, weather forecasts indicate that we will see rain/snow at lower elevations, with snow most likely above 10,000 ft. So what does this mean for our runoff? Well, we'll have a lot more snow to get rid of before rivers subside to fishable levels.
The blessing in disguise is that these cold daytime and nighttime temperatures will dramatically slow the snow melt, and we should see river levels level off or drop through most of the states river basins. As of this morning, most of the rivers throughout Colorado (excluding tailwaters) have begun to level off, and I would imagine that their flows will start to drop throughout today. Keep in mind though that this will be short lived, and that once daytime temps start to creep back into the 60's in the mountains, we'll see another round of snow melt and increased river flows.
So what does this mean for our short term fishing forecast? Get out and fish! Once river levels steady or begin to drop, water clarity will improve and the fish will take advantage of the opportunity and feed very aggressively. Streamers, big stones and flashy mayfly nymphs will all be good producers during the period. Go to the River Report Section of our NEW Website for conditions on specific rivers, as well as more fly recommendations, or give the shop a call and we would be more than happy to offer our advice on good fishing locals.
We'll post another Runoff Update as conditions change.

Another double-up CD release of these classic King Diamond albums, "Them" & Conspiracy. Although, teaming these two CDs together is no-brainer, it's better you purchase these two releases seperately(if you haven't already got 'em) Most hard-core Diamond fans will undoubtedly have these in their collection. But I guess this product might appeal to fans that are being turned onto the King for the first time.
But in my opinion, these double-up CD releases are superfulous. It just seems like a feeble attempt from Roadrunner to cash in AGAIN on a artist they barely promoted in the first place…
I've just recently found the magic that is King Diamond, about 20 years after his solo career started. What I've found is the most unique and true-to-form artist around. I traveled down to the cd store hoping for at least Abigail, but I found much more. I found Them/Conspiracy two-pack, Abigail and Puppet Master and didn't hesitate for a second to purchase all of them at once. I would have payed 15 bucks seperate for each cd included in this set, but finding only this for 15 dollars, how could I say no?!
Taken as a whole, I only have a few complaints about the set, and they are pretty miniscule. My first complaint is that the booklet contains no lyrics, so that's a downside, since it is sometimes hard to understand what King is saying. The last complaint is that Conspiracy was not as good as I had thought, but it's still good, not as good as THEM though.
From the start, I had always figured that THEM would be my least favorite King album, but as soon as I listened to it, my mind changed drastically, this is King's absolute best album ever. Not only does it have a very creepy and unique story(not like that's news for King Diamond), but it's overall sound and presentation is unlike any of his other recordings. Though the sound production on THEM is rather weak,It's good, but not very clean like his preceding attempts. Every song here is strong and there is some beautiful musicianship throughout. The track "TEA" perfectly suits the title, with hypnotic flowing notes and soothing and mellow choruses by the King.
Conspiracy follows up to THEM, but it seems like less attention was placed on story than the previous part of the story. "AT THE GRAVES" seems to drag on for too long, and several of the tracks are rather forgettable. "Sleepless Nights", Victimized, A Visit from the Dead and Cremtation are the strongest point of the album, but the rest don't have the same magic as the afformentioned. But considering the fact that you can get two albums for the price of one is totally worth dishing out 15 bucks for.

I asked Karen to make me a ceramic watering can (not an easy thing to find.) Her work is extremely inspiring to me. Do you ever get creative satisfaction from other people's work? I definitely do, just living with it.
I feel like I show the same photos- such as this shelf in my kitchen- frequently but with slight modifications as things change, like charting the growth of one's child. I'm growing the inside of our house like a garden.

Turning the tables on NPR's Terry Gross
What do you ask a woman who interviews others for a living? A woman who has forged a lengthy and venerable career out of posing — often tough — questions to strangers. Strangers that have included the likes of Lynne Cheney, Tracy Morgan, Bill O'Reilly, and Jay Z, to name just a varied few. Well, to start with, you ask her what it feels like to have the tables turned. Does she feel compelled to lead the interview or direct the conversation? "No, no," says Terry Gross, producer and host of NPR's "Fresh Air." "I let the interviewer do the driving."

That is terrible about the donkeys at Barron Park being attacked. What is being done to prevent this again? You can easily get under the fence. What are they doing to prevent more dog attacks?
on Nov 13, 2012 at 2:53 pm
I just passed by the donkey enclosure and Perry still looks terrible a month and a half after the dog attack. He was laying down, reluctant to move and appeared more skittish than usual. He had significantly more than a "2-inch patch of skin" missing from his face. He had stitches and stapes all over his body. Go look. Most curious is why nothing appears to have been done to prevent this from happening again. There is no contact phone number at the enclosure, no signs posted about leashing dogs, and there's no additional fencing along the bottom of the fence that might stop a dog from entering the enclosure. Who's on this stuff?
on Nov 13, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Agree with Sam....what can they do to prevent another attack? I walk by these donkeys all the time. This isn't right no one is doing anything about the front fencing. That is an easy fix. I bet all of the neighbors I know would help.

West Virginia's abandoned Lake Shawnee Amusement Park shut down back in 1966 and has laid in ruins ever since. Many believe Lake Shawnee to be horribly cursed. The park was built upon the site of a desecrated Native American burial ground, and was the location of a brutal massacre of settlers. This week it opens for tours.
An archaeological dig has revealed a Native American burial ground containing the bodies of 13 people, mostly children. In the 18th century, the area's first European settlers arrived, the Clay family. The settlers were attacked by Native Americans, two of their children died in the attack, and a third was later burnt at the stake. In the 1920s the land was purchased and transformed into an amusement park. Over the years, several tragic accidents happened at the park, including the death of a little girl on the mechanical swings and a drowning death in Lake Shawnee. The park was then closed. Some paranormal investigators have visited the site and claim to hear children laughing and the swings moving all by themselves. Because surely wind couldn't make swings move like that.
Fancy a trip to a cursed abandoned amusement park? Well, you're in luck. From October 25th through October 31st there will be walking tours beginning at dusk. Cameras and audio recorders are allowed, and flashlights are a must. [Visit WV]

The University of Mississippi Medical Center has performed a successful pancreas-kidney transplant.
The 49-year old Mississippi man had suffered from type 1 diabetes since age 9 and is now essentially cured.
The milestone operation marks the completion of the UMMC abdominal transplant program, which can now provide kidney, liver and pancreas transplants while keeping Mississippians close to home.
"They said I could get a kidney and a pancreas transplant. I jumped at the chance," said patient Paul Davis.
Davis is all smiles just one week after the life-changing surgery, he never thought he'd have.
"We did the procedure not only to cure his renal failure/treat his renal failure with the kidney transplant but also the pancreas to produce insulin and essentially cure his type one diabetes since his own pancreas does not produce insulin," said Davis.
Davis had one of the most life threatening complications, he was unable to recognize that his blood sugar was dropping.
"When we went to call him in for this transplant, we tried to get a hold of him and could not and got a hold of his sister who then went to his house and found him basically on the floor, passed out with a blood sugar of 30," said Dr. Mark Earl.
Within hours Davis was at UMMC, becoming the first patient in Mississippi to have a pancreas transplant.
"This will have not only a life prolonging impact but also a significant quality of life benefit as well," said Earl.
The symptoms of Davis' low blood sugar made officers think he was drunk. That's why he has this permanent stamp of his now-former disease.
"The cops like breaking my necklace when I had my medic alert necklace. They would break my necklace, give me my chain back. We didn't see your emblem. so, they cannot break that off," Davis explained.
He'll get the tattoo covered eventually and start living life as a new that can enjoy the little things we sometimes take for granted this time of year...like "a piece of pie".
It's the first time that five organs, all from one donor, were used for transplants at UMMC.

This is a highly recommended route... Climb up the short face passing the first two bolts to the base of the roof. Clip the bolt under the roof and make the commiting moves right out over the lip. Pull up to the rest ledge. Shake it out and continue up and left through the bulging crux and continue up to the comfort ledge. Finish on the short easy section to the shuts. NOTE: watch for copperheads if rigging this one on top rope. One seems to live under the rock perched on the edge of the cliff. It usually lays in the leaves on top and blends in very well. A colorful specimen of the local copperheads. Please admire, dont harm or disrupt. Thanks.

Qi Hardware Working on GTK for Mini-Handhelds
A new firm from the ranks of revered OpenMoko enterprises is experimenting with running GTK+ apps on top of DirectFB for their NanoNote device running on OpenWRT announced for their fall 2009 release.
The Qi Hardware company plans to run GTK+ apps with DirectFB on OpenWRT in the future. Remarkable about it is that DirectFB will take over graphics processing from X servers. Together with OpenWRT, that means a sleeker system on the NanoNote mini-device without having to eschew graphical widgets.
Berlin developer Mirko Vogt has been working since beginning of August 2009 on getting the embedded Linux OpenWRT, usually running on routers, also to run on the flippable NanoNote handheld device for Qi Hardware. Based on his personal blog, the GTK performance test results that he collected using a patched version of GTKPerf on a variety of screen sizes are quite favorable. (The GTKPerf benchmark version 0.4 he used dates back to 2005 on SourceForge.) In his blog he evaluates the GTK-DirectFB interaction as being promising.
The NanoNote device runs on an XBurst CPU from Chinese company Ingenic Semiconductor. The CPU runs at 336 MHz with 32 MBytes RAM and the device has a flippable 3" display at 320 x 240 pixels. Closed, the device measures 10 x 8 x 2 cm. According to its maker, it runs on a homegrown Linux that, under the motto "Freedom Redesigned," is to encourage development as open source hardware and software. Release should be sometime this fall. Prices are not yet announced.

Istanbul Museum of Modern Art
The World > Europe > Middle East > Turkey > Istanbul
İstanbul Modern, aka Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, (Turkish: İstanbul Modern Sanat Müzesi) is a museum of contemporary art in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey, inaugurated on December 11, 2004, prominently featuring the work of Turkish artists.
The museum, located on the Bosphorus in a converted warehouse in the Tophane neighborhood, was re-purposed by Tabanlioglu Architects.
The Modern features exhibition space on two floors: work from the museum's permanent collection, as well as a shop and restaurant, are located on the top floor, while temporary exhibitions are located on the lower floor, along with a cinema and arts library.

Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.
It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.

Now before I go on, let me state that I've been one of his staunchest supporters from day one. However, tonight, after viewing every second closely w/o distractions, I feel I have to change my tune.
We know what Monty brings to the table: his teams play good defense and they almost always give it their all. However, can anyone tell me what else? After 100+ games, I'm beginning to feel it's not enough and there should be something more. Now, I obviously realize that this is a poorly talented team, but after this many games, shouldn't there be some kind of progression? Individual improvement? Development? Offensive continuity?
Let's take for example, Trevor Ariza. When he came to our team, we knew we were getting a good defender/glue guy. We knew that if used properly he could also be an asset on the offensive end (his last year in a Laker uniform). Well, a little over 90 games, and his cumulative offensive rating is worse than what it was in a Rockets uniform.
How about Marco Belinelli? He had some flashes of excellent offense for both the Warriors/Raptors and us last season. So far this year, he's kicking it live with an 8.8 PER. That's even more god awful when you realize he's played 733 minutes so far this year. Next highest minutes for guys with PER's under 9.0 are in order: John Salmons (700), Kendrick Perkins (667), Shane Battier (566) and Chris Duhon (546).
Ok, so I'm picking on role players who shouldn't be counted on carrying a team offensively. Well, let's then focus our attention on a guy who was brought back to serve as one of our primary scorers. He was even given a pay raise of almost 3 times of his previous high 3 million per. Step on up Carl Landry. So far this season, he's actually considered an above average player sporting a 16.8 PER. However, he's seeing an eye-opening 23.9 minutes a game. That's the lowest since his first two years in the NBA. Moreover, he's easily sporting the worst FG% of his career at 46.7%.
Sense a pattern? Yeah I could keep going on and on, but us Hornet fans have suffered enough, haven't we? We all knew replacing CP3 was going to be mission impossible. Also, not having Eric Gordon has undoubtedly thrown a huge wrench into the plans as well. However, should everything be excused because we're missing our major player? If our guys are bringing it every night (and the eye-test says absolutely), then why are we so consistently inept on one end of the floor? Just as our semi-talentless squad can stay in front of their man, cover a pick and roll, box out, whatever, why can't we run good plays, set screens or keep passing the ball till we get a good shot the majority of times? Why can't this team define a few offensive strengths and attempt to achieve them on a nightly basis?
We can even go back to last year. I can't even remember how many times we wondered what was wrong with Chris Paul and why he was playing sooooooo much off the ball. Sure there were glimpses of old CP3, none more memorable than our two wins against the Lakers in last year's playoffs. Up to that point, I kept on telling myself that it was either/both CP3 wasn't 100% all too often and Monty was interested in having the rest of the team develop a partial offensive identity on their own. Looking back, now I'm not sure either was even a factor in our ugly 106.2 team offensive rating (good for 19th out of 30 teams).
Guys, Monty is simply awful when it comes to the offensive end of the floor. Whether it's specifically him or the guys next to him on the bench, someone isn't doing us any good. And the most disconcerting thing, is what do we have to look forward to? Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?
Why did a guy who was made inactive just over a few weeks ago end up taking 17 shots? Why did Ayon play only 18 minutes? Was he the only one who made mistakes at either end of the floor? Ok, maybe someone still wants to argue the whole adaption to the NBA. Then explain to me why recent signee Lance Thomas got over 12 minutes of burn? Because he fluently speaks the English language? Get outta here. When players step onto the court, they all know how to speak B*A*L*L. We've seen plenty from Ayon to suggest this kid knows how to play and how to play the right way.
This lack of development of Ayon has now made we worried about his future and the rest of our young guys like Henry and Vazquez. Why did the General, who played quite well for the most part during Jack's absence, suddenly only see 20 minutes tonight? Hey, didn't we get blown the F@#( out by the Bulls? Don't most coaches get their young guys in during games like this so they can garner valuable experience?
Yeah, I'm lost for answers too but I think it's time that we need to start asking hard questions about the guy in charge.

Forecast: Flurries of intros at busy Las Vegas Market
Major mattress producers are unveiling a broad range of new bedding lines at the Las Vegas Market next week. New flagship lines are rolling out at each of bedding's Big Three: Serta, Sealy and Simmons.
The expansive mattress chart entries in this issue give readers their first comprehensive look at upcoming bedding introductions. There are dozens of mattress entries at your fingertips, courtesy of your friendly mattress writer.
The charts provide an outline of the competition that will be waged by bedding's Top 10 producers in the months to come.
No. 1 Serta will be touting its redesigned flagship Perfect Sleeper line, backed with a program that includes pillows and an adjustable foundation. And it says that "exciting" iComfort introductions are on the way - bad news for the competition given the strength of the iComfort line.
Sealy is seeking to regain ground lost to its rivals. Bedding's No. 2 producer comes to Vegas with a new Posturepedic collection topped with a hybrid line containing gel foam and innersprings. It is positioned above a line that features gel memory foam. Sealy is also showing an ultra high-end Stearns & Foster Monogram line, also with gel memory foam. So Sealy is betting heavy on gel memory foam this year.
No. 3 Simmons aims to build on momentum it has generated with its Recharge marketing campaign, an impressively executed program. Recognizing the power of its Recharge message, the producer is introducing the Beautyrest Recharge and Beautyrest Recharge World Class lines. Conforming back support and cool sleeping comfort are themes of the new lines.
Making perhaps the broadest package of introductions is Comfort Solutions, which is introducing new Perfect Contour and Posture Sense collections, and major redesigns of its Dr. Breus Bed and Natural Response and Extended Life lines..
Therapedic is showing gel memory foam in three of its four new Kathy Ireland Home models. The hybrid models feature a five-zone innerspring system. Therapedic is also offering aesthetic improvements in its Agility line of encased coils and gel memory foam.
Englander, an early entrant in the gel bedding category, aims to maintain its momentum with a number of new gel bedding lines, including its LifeStyle national line of hybrid specialty gel beds, and its gel-based Tension Ease and Anniversary models.
Kingsdown will show a new Kingsdown Kids line in the juvenile category, is rebranding its MySide collection as Sleep to Live, is offering new fabrics and colors in its Blu-Tek gel and specialty line, and is introducing its Sleep Smart system.
Those are just some of the highlights in the mattress charts. Careful mattress readers will find many more.

The winners of the 2014 Cutest Vegan Alive contest have been announced! Congratulations to Lauren and Jorge!
The two lucky winners will each receive a free professional photo shoot and the chance to star in a peta2 ad. For your chance at the title of Cutest Vegan Alive in 2015, start trying out a vegan lifestyle today!
Lauren went vegan eight years ago after reading the book Skinny Bitch saying, "I live my life by the principles of respect and gratitude and what better way to be thankful for the life I've been given than by respecting my body and the lives of other living beings through plant-based living." A senior at Western Washington University, she still finds time to volunteer for animal charities, including Pigs Peace Sanctuary in Stanwood, Wash., and she raised more than $1,200 for the Central Washington Humane Society.
Jorge went vegan about 18 months ago, and he has never looked back. With the support of the school's animal rights club, he helped bring more vegan options to his school's cafeteria by sitting down with the manager, who agreed to introduce veggie burgers, which have been a major hit. In addition to his on-campus activities, Jorge has talked several friends and family members into cutting down on meat or going vegan, volunteers at an animal shelter on weekends, and is active with peta2's Street Team.

Half a year after an HOA corruption probe was exposed by the Eyewitness News I-Team, it's getting major attention by lawmakers in Carson City. Lawmakers are working on creating some legal teeth to stop this from happening again.
Last September, the allegations and investigations were everywhere. Thanks to new legislation, those days may soon be over.
The Park Avenue Condo Complex doesn't look like it could be a crime scene, but after years of worry and shocking betrayals, Barb Noto has her community back.
She stood by, essentially powerless to stop Park Avenue from being overrun by those she says were there to make big bucks. Now with the possibility of tougher laws, "This is a step in the right direction."
Noto and others say Park Avenue and several other HOA's were allegedly part of a wide-reaching plan by Leon Benzer and his associates. He is a developer who is said to have used friends to take control of HOA boards and funnel questionable work to his construction company. Sources tell the I-Team, that money could add up to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Noto says the problem started with questionable elections, "There are hundreds of millions of dollars for them and if they can manipulate the law in their favor, then they're going to do it."
State Senator Mike Schneider proposed two bills Wednesday that would clamp down on HOA boards to open up the books and reveal any conflicts of interest. It would also bar people from tampering with board elections and if they do, it is a category C felony -- up to five years in prison.
Noto wants even more justice, "I would like to see it a little more serious than that after what our Park Avenue community went through last year."
With the spotlight brightest and the HOA's back in order, Noto hopes the worst is over now and forever, "Hopefully it will make owners aware that they need to pay attention."
There was no opposition to the corruption provisions, but those parts are wrapped up in major bills dealing with HOA's. They expect some changes and tweaks. Both bills should have another hearing soon and a possible vote.

Meet our Peggy's Picks Pet of the Week Damien. He's a 9-year-old domestic shorthair who is up for adoption at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.
Here's a special message from Damien!
"Damien is my name - you could even call me 'Damien the Great' since I am such a big boy. Complementing my big body is a big heart that is filled with love and my biggest wish is to have someone to share it with. Here at the shelter my favorite spot for snoozing is inside a supply closet, and guess what? I found two small cat beds in there, and combined they make a bed for me that is just fine for my size. Being a mellow fellow I am looking forward to a home where I can relax with my humans on a nice big sofa and watch your favorite TV shows or a ball game…And with a little playtime and walking around - but no running on a treadmill, please! - I might even be able to shed a few pounds. If you are looking for a happy-go-lucky buddy I might just be perfect for you! And if you decide that I am Mr. Right for you and you happen to be 55 or older, the adoption fee is waived. Honestly, can it get any better?"
Peggy's Picks is sponsored by the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, Harmony Animal Hospital in Jupiter and Community Animal Hospital in Royal Palm Beach.

A disabled veteran has filed suit against the ownership group of a Lexington County gym business after the Marine was fired nearly three months ago. The firing, the Marine claims, came after new management refused to allow him to make up missed time to attend Veterans Affairs appointments to treat a war injury.
Lexington County court filings show the reason that New life Fitness World terminated Jonathan Brown on July 31 was "disabled veteran." The reason was noted on Brown's "Employment Status Change" form attached to the lawsuit.
Brown worked as a manager at the gym's Charter Oak Road location in Lexington for nearly two years. Brown recently returned home after a deployment to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Marine left the service after an eye injury prevented him from continuing on in the military. His injuries are to both eyes and he's receiving treatment from the Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn VA hospital in Columbia on a near-weekly basis.
"The VA is just like the military. If you miss an appointment, you might not get another one to actually let them help you with your problem," Brown told WIS. Military doctors don't know what's causing the blurriness and shaking in both eyes, according to Brown.
Brown was a gunner on a Bradley vehicle in Iraq, firing a 25MM weapon known to the military as a 25 "Mike Mike." Brown isn't sure whether firing the weapon had anything to do with his disabling eye condition.
On July 30, Brown said he got called into the office by his new regional manager to talk about his VA doctor's appointments, "It was kind of a surprise. He came in and wanted to sit down with me after I turned in some medical work, saying I needed to go to the VA a few times. We sat in the office and he said he just had to let me go—for; it just wouldn't work out," Brown said.
Brown said his boss, Jonathan Moreno, told him the reason he had to fire him was because he was a disabled veteran and wouldn't allow any discussion of his decision. "His mind was made up by the time he was even walking into the building," Brown said.
Brown said he was willing to work nights and weekends in order to make up the lost time, but said Moreno wouldn't entertain the arrangement. It was something Brown was already doing after working an arrangement out with his previous manager, "I stayed a lot later. Usually I'm supposed to be done by seven. I wouldn't leave the gym until easily nine or 10 o'clock, just to make sure I had everything straightened up and ready to roll for the next day."
"I have not seen a case that is so spelled out in black and white and is so clear a violation of the law, and obviously they need an education," Brown's attorney James Smith said. Smith, an Iraqi War veteran himself, filed the lawsuit for Brown in September. Smith said employers are required to make "reasonable accommodations" for employees with disabilities and argues that Brown's willingness to make up lost time was fair to both sides. "Those are reasonable accommodations, which must be made by an employer and they just need to understand that. Apparently they don't," Smith said.
We went to Moreno, who works at Gold's Gym in Lexington after leaving New Life Fitness World a few weeks after he fired Brown, for his side of the story. Moreno calls the claim that he fired Brown because he's a "disabled veteran," "horse [expletive]." Moreno's signature is at the bottom of the form, approving Brown's firing, which is marked, "disabled veteran."
Moreno told WIS the reason he fired Brown was because of customer service complaints, the gym was not clean and that Brown was not meeting his sales goals. Moreno declined an on camera interview to explain his decision to fire Brown. Brown's final pay check shows the gym paid him $150 in bonuses for meeting production, sales and membership goals. Moreno referred us to his former bosses for comment.
We called Ciye Malcuit, the man both Moreno and Brown identified as the gym's owner in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We have since learned that Malcuit is the general manager of the New Life Fitness World in Cedar Rapids.
He declined to comment on the case saying, "I was advised not to say anything."
The gym's attorney, Tobias Ward, sent WIS a response late Monday afternoon.
"New Life Fitness World is an enterprise whose owner proudly served alongside U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam," wrote Ward. "We have over 125 employees in Iowa and South Carolina, and we regularly and proudly employ and serve active duty military and veterans.""Jonathan Brown was employed by New Life Fitness World," Ward continued. "The reason for his termination is hotly contested, and management vigorously disputes the reason for termination given by Jonathan Brown in his lawsuit.""Out of respect for employee confidentiality, and to avoid prejudicing the judicial process, management will have no further comment," Ward concluded.
When Brown went to work for New Life Fitness World, he worked under Jody Parks, who was the general manager before Moreno took over. Parks told WIS that he'd worked out a plan that would allow Brown time to make his VA appointments, but would require him to make up his missed time. "He was able to basically come back in and make up the time that he had missed. It was fair on that level," Parks said.
Parks now manages a competing gym in Lexington. "He didn't come in and say, 'Hey I did this, can I make it up?' It was something that was set up beforehand, so we kind of knew in advance," Parks said. Parks said the gym was aware of his war injuries when they hired Brown in November 2010. Brown was an essential part of the mix at the Lexington location, according to Parks, because of the large retired military membership there. "He was a great guy. Good employee," Parks said.

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Branch
Office (502) 782-1780
KSP Partners with Local Law Enforcement to Crack Down on Drunken Drivers
Date of News Release: 12/12/2013
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Dec. 12, 2013) - This holiday season, Kentucky law enforcement will be cracking down on drunken drivers throughout the state during the aggressive Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign. The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS), in partnership with Kentucky State Police, and local law enforcement, kicked off the campaign, which runs through Jan. 1, 2014, at a press conference today at Saints Pizza and Pub in Louisville.
"We are giving fair warning to all partygoers," KOHS Director Bill Bell said. "Officers will show zero tolerance for anyone driving while intoxicated."
National data show the holiday season is a particularly deadly time due to the increased number of drunken drivers on the roads.
In December, from 2007 to 2011, there were 4,169 people killed in crashes nationwide that involved drivers with blood alcohol concentrations of 0.08 grams per deciliter or higher.
"KSP will participate with local law enforcement to remove impaired drivers from roadways," KSP Sgt. Michael Webb said. "If you choose to drive drunk, we will see you, we will stop you and you will be arrested."
To aid in keeping drunken drivers off the road, the KOHS partnered with Mobile Life Solutions to develop a "No DUI Kentucky" application.
The app contains the following:
- A one-touch dial feature to call the Kentucky State Police if a motorist needs to report a drunken driver
- A list of local taxi services, sober ride programs and limousine companies by working with the caller's Global Positioning System
- A link to Kentucky's HERO designated driver campaign website
- Information on laws and penalties for driving while impaired and the cost of getting a DUI
- A Blood Alcohol Concentration calculator
- A feature that turns the camera into impairment goggles
- A feature to select a designated driver
The "No DUI Kentucky" app is available to download for free in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and the Windows Phone Store. Or, it can be downloaded at www.DriveSoberKY.com. Georgia and Wisconsin are the only states to date that have similar applications.
"This day in age, most people have smart phones, so we're putting the information directly in their hands," Bell said. "We hope it will greatly reduce the number of people who choose to drink and drive."
Remember, it is never safe to drink and drive: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
For more information, visit the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Campaign Headquarters at www.nhtsa.gov/drivesober.

News: Bizzy Bone To Fight Marijuana, Alcohol Addiction On "Celebrity Rehab"
Sunday, May 30, 2010 9:22AM
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's ex-member Bizzy Bone is reportedly set to come clean on his marijuana and alcohol addiction by participating in the planned upcoming "Celebrity Rehab" television series.
According to reports, Bizzy is one of three other entertainers likely to appear on the reality show's next season.
TMZ has learned Celebrity Rehab is all set to add another star to its cast -- "Bone Thugs-N-Harmony" rapper Bizzy Bone. We're told Bizzy - real name Byron McCane -- wants to seek treatment for an addiction to marijuana and alcohol. As we've previously reported, the producers behind the VH1reality show starring Dr. Drew have been on a mission to lock down a cast -- and fast ... or else the show could be in danger. If the show survives -- Bizzy could join Tila Tequila and Jason Wahler inside the rehab facility. (TMZ)
Recently, incarcerated rapper DMX was denied an opportunity to leave an Arizona jail and appear on "Celebrity Rehab."
According to a rep for the Maricopa County Superior Court in Arizona, the judge rejected the rapper's petition for one reason -- he's already doing really well in the Arizona court-appointed substance abuse program, which ends early in July. After that, the judge says, DMX can pursue treatment at Dr. Drew's facility -- but by then, taping will already have begun for "Celeb Rehab" and X will have missed his chance. (Hip Hop Wired)
Bizzy has accused his former crew of kicking him out of their group in 2003 due to his addiction.
"When they put me out of the group, not only did they put me out, they said I was unreasonable, I couldn't be worked with, I was an alcoholic and a drug addict," Bizzy Bone told AllHipHop.com in 2004. "So therefore I couldn't do any business with anyone else, and everybody was scared to do business with me." (All Hip Hop)
The show's third season premiered in January and began its three-season run in 2008.
"Celebrity Rehab" is the first television series to chronicle the real life experiences of a group of celebrities as they make the life-changing decision to enter themselves into a drug, alcohol, and addiction treatment program. They each have the sincere desire to achieve rehabilitation and recovery. (VH1)
No further details on Bizzy's involvement or a confirmed season four have been announced.
Bizzy Bone previously appeared on "America's Most Wanted" to discuss his troubled childhood.

Training can help identify those
at risk of suicide
LAKE PLACID — Free suicide-prevention training is offered from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, in the Adirondack Room of the Olympic Training Center, 196 Old Military Road.
Called safeTALK, the three-hour training is provided by the Capital Region of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
It is designed to prepare anyone older than 15 to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first-aid resources.
"Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help to stay safe," a press release said. "Alert helpers know how to use these opportunities to support that desire for safety."
SafeTALK-trained "suicide alert helpers" are taught how to move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide; identify people who have thoughts of suicide; and apply the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to connect a person with suicidal thoughts to first-aid and intervention caregivers.
Video clips shown at the training illustrate both non-alert and alert responses. Discussion and practice help stimulate learning. Trainers are certified by Living Works Inc. (www.livingworks.net)

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSYellow Tap Water Reported At Eastern Kanawha County School
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 3, 2014 5:40 PM EST
Updated: Feb. 4, 2014 9:28 AM EST
DIAMOND, W.Va. (Leslie Rubin) -- More water problems Monday morning for an eastern Kanawha County school, as the tap water was yellow.
Now, new precautions are in place for the school after they thought they'd been given the all clear.
Midland Trail Elementary School passed their MCHM test last week, and no detectable levels were found in their samples, but Monday morning, that licorice smell was back, and their water looked far from clear.
"Right now, we are on a do not use any tap water except for toilet flushing," Principal Grant Davis. Midland Trail passed their MCHM tests conducted by the National Guard, finding non detectable levels in their schools water, leaving them wondering what would have changed between then and now.
"The discoloration, they said, that there was a main break. I guess that had happened some time over the last couple of days," Davis said.
Davis says the school had only been used the water to clean with last week since they had passed the test. He said none of the students had consumed any water in the school since the crisis started.
For students like Rose Mullins, the whole experience has been eye opening.
"Can't drink out of the water fountains so we have to use water bottles and they put bags on all the faucets, and it's just crazy," the fourth grader said.
Davis says the school has taken the crisis and tried to turn it into a learning experience by teaching the students the importance of recycling.
"It will be better because we don't put it in the landfills, we recycle it and we can use it for something else," said Mullins.
"Over three thousand bottles of water that came on our first shipment," Davis explained.
Three thousand chances to make a difference in the light of the crisis that's proven to not be over at Midland Trail Elementary.
"Whatever's best for the students, we're going to get it done," said Davis.
Riverside High School principal Valery Harper says they have also been advised to only use water for flushing toilets. She says they also had a strong odor to their water Monday morning, as well as an oily residue. She says they will flush their system again Monday night.

Through the practice of meditation, we glimpse unconditional goodness as the ground of our existence. Opening to ourselves with gentleness and appreciation, we begin to see our potential as genuine and compassionate human beings.
Shambhala Training is a series of contemplative workshops, suited for both beginning and experienced meditators. The simple and profound technique of mindfulness and awareness is the basis of a secular path of meditation, which can benefit people of any spiritual tradition and way of life. Shambhala Training is the study and practice of Shambhala warriorship—the tradition of human bravery and leadership. This path shows how to take the challenges of daily life in our modern society as opportunities for both contemplative practice and social action.
The Shambhala Training is inspired by the ancient legend of the Kingdom of Shambhala, said to be a society which drew its gentle and fearless sense of social responsibility from the practice of meditation. The legend of the Kingdom of Shambhala has been a guiding vision for many centuries in Asian culture and has parallels in Western traditions. All aspects of our daily life and society—family, commerce, education, the arts—can be permeated with a sense of sacredness.
This weekend is open to the public.
Suggested Donation: $125, or whatever you can afford. Please see our generosity policy.

A change to an existing Huntsville City Schools policy has some parents upset.
In the fall, the school system traded their textbooks for technology by getting laptops. Now, a form is being passed around in class that requires a signature about those PCs, but not from who you think.
In an effort to make sure students are aware of the do's and don'ts with the school issued laptops, they will be reminded verbally and on paper. During the week, rules for how to handle the computers as far as downloads and which sites to avoid will be addressed in homeroom. For added measure, the students will be asked to sign a form to confirm they understood what was read to them. The form asks for a student's signature, not the parents'.
"I was shocked and really angry that they would ask a child to sign something saying that they understood it without their parent's approval," said Laura Lively Charlton.
Charlton has two sons in the Huntsville City Schools system. She said she feels not being asked to sign the form is disrespectful to parents.
"Some of the language in the agreement, you know it's a lot of legal terms that a child isn't going to understand at all," she said. "To me, that's deliberately deceiving parents."
Officials with the school system said they are simply adding more details to the existing policy. They compare having the children sign the form to a former policy when a child would be issued a school book that they would have to sign on the inside.
Charlton disagrees.
"There are no legal fees tied to losing a textbook," she said.
The infractions list the level of offenses and the punishments involved. The punishments range from a classroom warning to suspension, even a recommendation of expulsion.
That form will make its way to homeroom classes this week. Charlton said when it comes time for her kids to sign it, she advised them not to.
