(AP) - Officials at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro have euthanized a 21-year-old male gorilla after he had been treated for an illness for more than a week.
Mammal curator Adrian Fowler said Nkosi, or Nik, had not been eating well and collapsed Sunday.
Fowler says the zoo's staff worked around the clock and consulted experts from other zoos and outside medical experts and determined they had no choice but to euthanize the gorilla.
An autopsy was performed Tuesday and tissue samples were being evaluated to determine what caused Nik's illness. Fowler says it could be several weeks before the rest results are back.
Nik came to North Carolina from the Columbus Zoo in 2008 and is the father of 2 males, Bomassa and Apollo, who were born in August 2012.

While reports indicate that the number of visitors to Atlantic City may be down, experts say that based on a recent poll Atlantic City's future seems promising.
In a poll released today by the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism, 81% of New Jersey gamblers say they will visit Atlantic City as many times as they did last year, while 10% say they intend to visit more often. But the most promising indicator may be that the number of gamblers that intend to try online gaming is triple that of the number that have actually already used the casinos' internet gaming sites. The Director of the institute, which is located at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, says that these numbers are promising and that interest in online gambling is growing and should continue to grow. More than half of those surveyed support legalized sports betting.

Thread: Five Questions with Sammy White
Five Questions with Sammy White
[size=18px]Five Questions with Grambling's Sammy White[/size]
By Nick Deriso
Originally published July 23, 2006
Grambling State and Richwood product Sammy White made his mark at every level, winning titles in high school and college, then becoming a cornerstone of the Minnesota Vikings franchise. Recognition has come in the form of SWAC Hall of Fame induction last year and then a spot on the Vikings' All-1970s Team recently compiled by Eric Krupka of RealFootball365.com.
Today, White has fashioned Division I-AA's most prolific passing attack as the offensive coordinator at GSU. But questions loom with the graduation of Bruce Eugene, a three-year starter. News-Star sports editor Nick Deriso asks them:
Give me your scouting report on Grambling's quarterback situation with Bruce gone.
Brandon (Landers, a Carroll product and former SWAC freshman of the year) has a strong arm and he's gotten better with the scheme, after a year behind Bruce. He's still lacking some film work, but the way I see it right now, he's the frontrunner. (Sophomore Houston product) Larry Kerlegan is very instinctive. He plays more with his legs than his arm right now, though. And with the receivers we've got, we need a big arm.
Talking about big arms, the buzz on the yard has been about Desmond Brentley, that Pittsburgh prep signee.
Brentley does have a really good arm. He looks to pick up on our scheme very quickly. But in our offense, it's just tough to start right out of high school. You have to do a whole lot of reads when it comes to the opposing defenses. They tell you where to go. All those years we had Bruce, and he still had his best year after sitting out (with a knee injury in 2004). He got to experience the game as a coach, and he became more patient. He became more of a student of the game. They all have to work on that.
Henry Tolbert and Clyde Edwards, your top receivers, both return. How do you fit in a talent like (Georgia Tech transfer) LeKeldrick Bridges?
You'll have to account for everybody, and that means guys like Bridges will get some numbers. But guys like Bridges will actually make it easier for Henry and Clyde to have big days. Even if other teams double-team them, they both have such a drive for the ball. They are going to try to make a play. Those two will still be productive, no matter what happens.
Your 10 seasons in Minnesota included rookie of the year honors and a Super Bowl appearance. What was it like to be named to the Vikings' All-1970s Team?
It really feels good, knowing that you were appreciated. It means so much when they still show you love after your playing days are over. I just got a card from a guy to sign that talked about old-time players, and how different things are. We played 100 percent every play, for the love of the game. There's a new breed today.
The Vikings let Daunte Culpepper go, and he ended up in Miami  with one of your former teammates (Mike Mularkey, once a Minnesota tight end) as his offensive coordinator. What do you make of that?
I pull for them to get in the playoffs every year, but letting Daunte get away? Not only is he an experienced, starting quarterback, but you put any kind of receivers around him, and that guy is a big plus for your team. These days, the passing game opens up the running game in the NFL. He'll be fine in Miami; they're putting together a good team down there. But it's unfortunate for the Vikings.

Re: Five Questions with Sammy White
"We played 100 percent every play, for the love of the game. There's a new breed today."
There definitely is. Nowadays, it's all about money.
What many of the younguns on this site may not know, players back then had regular jobs in the offseason to support their families. Most players couldn't do it on their NFL salary alone.

It's a go: Queen's astronaut is in orbit
Queen's alumnus Andrew Feustel (PhD '95) blasted into space at 2:01 pm EDT on Monday, May 11, as part of the seven-member crew on the space shuttle Atlantis – the final shuttle mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Originally scheduled for May 12, the flight began with a picture-perfect liftoff and entered orbit nine minutes later.
During the 11-day mission, astronauts will install two new instruments, repair two inactive ones and perform the component replacements that will keep the telescope functioning into at least 2014.
For Dr. Feustel, a graduate of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering, it was the realization of a lifelong dream. After a grueling selection process, nine years of training, numerous delays and a nerve-wracking, last-minute cancellation last fall, he said in a pre-flight interview from the Johnson Space Center in Houson that he was excited and fully prepared mentally.
Safely stowed away in the shuttle's storage bay is a specially-designed banner depicting Queen's landmark street sign at the corner of University and Union, as viewed from outside the Earth's atmosphere. The banner proclaims: "Engaging the world … and beyond!"
Although he won't be able to unfurl the banner during the mission, Dr. Feustel notes that it will have spent 11 days in space, along with the crew. "And after we return to Earth, I intend to deliver it to the university," he adds. On an earlier flight, in 1999, Canadian astronaut and Queen's honorary graduate Julie Payette carried a silkscreen image of the newly-established Chancellor's Research Award aboard the Shuttle Discovery. It now hangs in the John Reid Bain Periodicals Room in Douglas Library.
After completing his PhD in Mining Seismology under the supervision of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering professors Herb Helmstaedt and Paul Young, Dr. Feustel worked for the Kingston-based Engineering Seismology Group. It was that experience, installing and operating monitoring equipment in a variety of mines, which he now credits as being critical to his success at NASA as an astronaut.
"Learning how to adapt to confined spaces and claustrophobic environments, and understanding your safety and survival needs there, proved to be a great benefit in my training for the space program," he says. From exploring the underground depths of North American mines, Dr. Feustel moved to a "neutral buoyancy lab" (a huge pool) in the Johnson Space Centre, where astronauts-in-training wear pressurized suits to practice the manoeuvres they will execute in space.
Although at age 43 he's a little older than many others on their first flight, the Queen's astronaut takes this factor in stride. "People can have valuable and contributing space careers well into their sixties," he notes. "So I've still got some time! The job is an extremely nice one to have, and it's a real privilege to have this opportunity."

Excellent Machiya
My family of 5 from Canada stayed at this guest house in mid August for five nights. We couldn't of been happier with our choice. The owners have totally refurbished this house, and we're concerned with keeping the character of a centuries old home. We wanted to give our kids the " Japanese experience" by staying here, and this home delivered. The location could not be better, one block to Gion, and walk across the bridge on Sanjo, and your in a very vibrant area with a multitude of good restaurant choices. It was averaging 92 degrees F outside, and the air conditioners kept the place nice and cool! I highly recommend this guest house, located a few doors down a small alley where the locals live. Brad S., Calgary Canada
Excellent property, great location
The property is centrally located, easy to get to from Kyoto station with easy access to buses etc. It was superbly equipped, very comfortable and relaxing. Best of all the owner was very helpful prior to our travel and then was on hand to help with advice on where to visit, where to eat, and making things as easy as possible. Definitely one of the best places to stay if you are visiting Kyoto.
Pleasant experience
We travelled as a group of 11 people to kyoto and stayed in K's villa for three nights. It has two houses with a corridor to connect each house. The rooms are very clean. And it is our first time to stay in Japan styles houses. We like the house, and our main bed room has beautiful riverside views. The transportation from here to the JR station and dining area is very convenient either by taxi or bus. Taxi fee to the JR station is around 700. And the washing machine and drying machine are helpful as it's summer time and we have 11 people. We like this house and hope we can be back to stay here again. The only shortness for us is that when we come back late the washing room is a little busy for 7 people to use.

Backpack program reaches out to community
The merit and health of a community should be judged by how well we care for the less fortunate among us. Children do not ask to be put in unfortunate situations where there is no food in the house. When they find themselves in this circumstance they can blame themselves or feel shame. They become apprehensive or fearful. Lack of proper nutrition can adversely affect their health, growth and development. It is difficult to pull yourself up by your boot straps if you do not have a pair of boots. Most people appreciate a hand up. If children do not have their basic needs met, how can we expect them to learn, perform and grow into healthy, productive adults? What we invest in our children will come back ten-fold. These children will be the ones who care for us as well as teach the next generation. It really does take a community to raise a child.
We are all God's children, we are all something greater than ourselves, we all have a piece of the puzzle. How do you fit in? Time? Treasure? Talent? Where can you help?
You may or may not be aware that there is a backpack for food program in each Logansport elementary school. This program sends food home weekly for children so they have food over the weekend. This program provides needed nutrition throughout the school year.
This program is supplemented through the "friends of the backpack for food program." This group collects peanut butter so that each backpack goes home with a jar over each long school break. And this is why I am writing this letter.
To date, 1,500 jars of peanut better have been sent home for extended school breaks. That is a lot of peanut butter.

I made this shaving horse after becoming interested in doing some green woodworking. The main body is constructed of dimensional lumber (pine and douglas fir). The seat was made from a 2" thick piece of poplar. Made the pivoting pin from some 1/2" steel rod from Home Depot and turned the handle from a chunk of exotic hardwood (I believe it is rosewood). After using it for a bit I realized I needed a more secure spot to set my drawknife in since it kept getting knocked to the ground. So I made the drawknife holder from a piece of 2×4 with a rabbet cut in it and glued it to the horse. Pics 5 and 6 show it getting some use making some parts for the mulberry stool I made (another one of my projects.) I really like the three legged design which allows it to sit on my highly unlevel garage floor without rocking.

This does look really nice. I've been tempted here and there to make one, but no round tuits. I gotta tell ya that when I first saw this pic in the tiny frame they show up on the project page I'm thinking "Here is someone trying to breed saw horses. I wonder how that works out." LOL But upon enlarging it, the real thing showed up in all its functional beauty. Enjoy using it.

Leading Egyptian women's rights activists called on newly elected President
Mohamed Mursi on Monday to appoint women to his cabinet and to increase women's
representation in government ministries.
Mursi, who was sworn in as
president on Saturday, has previously pledged to include women in his new
Last week, Mursi told newspaper editors that he had no plans
to restrict women's rights, while his policy adviser, Ahmed Deif, told CNN that
one of the new president's first steps will be to appoint a Christian vice
president and a female vice president.
Yet there are concerns among some
women's groups that a Muslim Brotherhood president could result in Egypt moving
closer to Islamist states like Iran and Afghanistan.
On Monday, Dr. Azza
Kamel, the leader of Cairobased NGO Parliament of Women, told al-Watan News that
women's leaders want to arrange a meeting with Mursi to talk about women in the
new cabinet and women's role in the drafting of a new
Parliament of Women works to build the capacity of women in
local and national government, as well as raise awareness and mobilize public
opinion about women's roles in drafting Egypt's new constitution.
told al-Watan that in Mursi's four speeches as president, he had not addressed
women directly but had referred to "men of Egypt" and only later had said he was
talking about both men and women.
In a pre-election speech, Mursi
declared that "the Koran is our constitution, [and] the prophet is our leader,"
raising fears that he would seek a constitution based on Shari'a (Islamic
Although Mursi himself has preached unity and inclusiveness, his
Freedom and Justice Party – an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood – formally
asserts that "Egypt is a civil state with an Islamic reference" According to a
statement from the party, Egypt's constitution must state that Shari'a law
should be applied "in all walks of life," because Shari'a "is the source of
wisdom and divine mercy, and as a response to the demands of the majority of the
Egyptian people who believe that the Shari'a is the best method to ensure the
reformation of the conditions of our society that will lead it to happiness and
However, the new president's powers to influence the new
constitution have been reduced. On June 17, after voting closed in the runoff
elections, Egypt's military junta announced a constitutional declaration that
grants them wide powers, including the authority to draft a new
Kamel added that if Mursi adopted the political platform of
his Freedom and Justice Party, it would mean "a loss of rights for Egyptian
women who contributed greatly to the [Egyptian] revolution."
Dr. Hoda Badran, the chairman of the Egyptian Women's Union, commented to
al-Watan that because of Mursi's background – including in the Muslim
Brotherhood – it would be hard for him to change his attitude toward
Badran said Mursi had an obligation to fulfill his promises to
appoint a woman vice president and to increase the number of women working in
government ministries.
The feminist leader told al- Watan she was
concerned that there could be a decline of women's rights in Egyptian society if
the president followed the policies of his Freedom and Justice
More than 1,000 women's organizations cooperated to reestablish
the Egyptian Women's Union last year. On Monday, the organization began a
campaign on Facebook and Twitter to encourage women to tell Mursi what they
expected of him as president.
The initiative, dubbed "I Demand from the
President," calls on women to send their demands to Mursi to be presented to him
on July 13.
"Did you know that Egyptian women make up 40% of Egypt's
households? Did you know that half of Egyptians live below the poverty line and
that two-thirds of them are women!!!" the campaign's mandate reads.
President, I don't want your protection, because I'm not weak, but I want my
full rights," "I demand equal citizenship," "Women's rights are human rights"
and "My voice is not awrah [an Islamic concept meaning the parts of the body
that should be covered] – my voice is revolution, revolution," were some of the
messages women posted on Monday.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, prominent Egyptian
women's rights activist Nihad Abu al- Qumsan, said a third of Mursi's new
cabinet should be women.
Speaking on Nile Television Network's Naharak
Saeed morning program, Qumsan, who heads the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights
(ECWR), said that women would be well suited to the health, tourism, finance,
economics, international relations and education ministries.
Not all
Egyptian women's activists want a role in Mursi's government,
Speaking to the Aswat Masriya election news site on Monday,
activist Rabab al- Mahdi, who worked as a political counselor for expresidential
candidate Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, said she would not accept a cabinet post
and preferred to stay in the opposition.
Al-Mahdi, a political science
professor at the American University in Cairo, dismissed as "unfounded" women's
fears that an Islamist president may impose restrictions on
"Egypt's problem is not the veil but there is certainly a problem
related to the status of women in Egypt," al- Mahdi told Aswat Masriya.

Nice lineup, but I think you need to feed the little one on the left end a bit more.

Treasure hunting
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (May 2009)
Treasure hunting is the physical search for treasure.
In modern times[edit]
In recent times, the early stages of the development of archaeology included a significant aspect of treasure hunt; Heinrich Schliemann's excavations at Troy, and later at Mycenae, both turned up significant finds of golden artifacts. Early work in Egyptology also included a similar motive.[citation needed]
More recently, most serious treasure hunters have started working underwater,[citation needed] where modern technology allows access to wrecks containing valuables which were previously inaccessible. Starting with the diving suit, and moving on through Scuba and later to ROVs, each new generation of technology has made more wrecks accessible. Many of these wrecks have resulted in the treasure salvage of many fascinating artifacts from Spanish treasure fleets as well as many others.[citation needed]
Treasure hunting is condemned by a growing number of nations, and UNESCO issued a chart for the protection of the underwater cultural heritage in 2001: the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. This convention is a legal instrument helping states parties to improve the protection of their underwater cultural heritage.[1]
Every year in February, The Syracuse Post-Standard holds an annual Treasure Hunt, in which they hide a plastic medallion in a public park. Each day they publish clues in the paper leading to its location. In recent years, the medallion was been found at the Camillus Erie Canal,[2] Onondaga Lake Park,[3] and Green Lakes State Park.[4]
Notable treasure hunters[edit]

- Odyssey Marine Exploration has extracted treasure from the shipwreck of the SS Republic
- Dr. E. Lee Spence (pioneer underwater archaeologist, author)

By Mark E. Vogler
---- — ANDOVER — Officials at The Pike School say they expect a former student will sue the school, saying he was the victim of an "inappropriate" relationship with a woman faculty member when he attended Pike in the 1990s.
Pike's Head of School John "Muddy" Waters said he fired the teacher – Judith Elefante (Judith Chapell at the time) – two years ago after the relationship came to light.
"Upon first hearing of this in 2011, Muddy immediately met with Ms. Elefante and she acknowledged only that she had provided advice and support to this particular alumnus while he was at Pike," Waters and Andrew Chaban, chairman of the school's Board of Trustees, said in a letter sent to the Pike School community yesterday.
"She confirmed that their relationship continued after he left Pike and that, in fact, the relationship developed into a sexual one,'' the letter continued. "As a result, Muddy made a decision to terminate Ms. Elefante from further employment at Pike.''
Elefante could not be reached for comment last night. A telephone call to the Boston office of her attorney Rebecca Pontikes was not returned.
Elefante, now 70, of Newburyport retired from teaching soon after being fired, according to Karen Schwartzman, a consultant with Polaris Public Relations who has been retained by the school.
"It was really a letter intended for the Pike community, explaining a situation this school is confronting and informing the community of this matter so they can be aware of it," Schwartzman said yesterday.
Schwartzman declined to comment on the age or grade level of the student at the time of the relationship. The Pike School at 34 Sunset Rock Road is an independent, coed, day school for students in prekindergarten through grade nine.
"There is no assertion that there was any kind of physical relationship while the student was at The Pike School," Schwartzman said. "The teacher did acknowledge that the relationship evolved later into a intimate and physical relationship after the student left Pike.''
School officials said they learned about Elefante's "inappropriate conduct" when they were approached by lawyers representing the former student in 2011.
"Now two years later, we have been approached by new legal counsel, representing the former student, this time indicating that he intends to file suit against Pike for the damage allegedly done to his client in connection with this relationship," Waters and Chaban said in their letter.
"Pike has received no information at this point to show that faculty or administration knew of an inappropriate relationship between the student and the teacher, which is not surprising given that it is alleged that the association between them involved only phone calls and other contact off campus. The lawyer intends to bring suit, nonetheless," the letter said.
"Any allegation that a student might have been harmed by someone associated with The Pike School is of course troubling. While we took steps two years ago to satisfy ourselves that no one at Pike had knowledge of this developing relationship nor, for that matter, any other inappropriate conduct by Ms. Elefante, we are now undertaking a more comprehensive inquiry to ensure that no stone has been left unturned," the letter continued. "At the same time, we are also taking steps to provide professional development for our faculty and staff to further heighten their awareness about appropriate boundaries between student and teacher and to ensure that they are as sensitive as people can be to patterns of behavior that might subtly suggest the possibility of an inappropriate relationship existing between the two."
Boston attorney Carmen Durso, who represents the former Pike student, said Elefante will be a co-defendant in the lawsuit he plans to file against the school soon.
"I notified them that it is my intention to file a lawsuit," Durso said last night, declining to provide details of the complaint until it is filed.
"This is the fourth case that I have had this year in which a female teacher has been involved with a male student,'' he said. "It's not a rare thing any more, unfortunately, and it's as serious as when the gender roles are reversed. People are starting to understand that they should be just as upset to learn a young male has been treated this way.''
Durso said he will determine whether The Pike School receives federal funds before filing the lawsuit, which could also focus on potential violations of Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972, a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions.
"You can't discriminate on gender," Durso said, explaining there is a potential for violations if there evidence shows school administrators handle teacher misconduct cases involving male students differently from cases involving female students.
"These cases are far more common than most people understand, because male victims are far more reluctant to talk about it,'' he said. "One of the reasons is it's a very confusing event for males. A sexual relationship with an older woman is looked upon as a sexual adventure or right of passage. I understand there are plenty of guys that are going to joke about it, 'I wish it happened to me'. But this is an enormously harmful thing, and it's just as harmful for a young man as it is for a young woman to go through. It's very destructive of someone who is at a developmental stage of their life.''

Angela Scott has a Stripe in her Step-------
The Office of Angela Scott's Fall 2013 footwear collection is just the right balance of vintage prep and wacky fun. Designed by Angela Scott (naturally), the range of hand-stitched women's penny loafers, boots, and brogues (some of which are hiked up on four-inch heels) mixes menswear influences with graphic black and pop-colored stripes (think neon yellow, fuchsia, and baby blue). "My customer is a walking woman," says the California-born, Texas-based designer. And it would seem there are plenty of "walking women" out there. Since launching four seasons ago, Scott has landed herself in major retailers like Tenoversix, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. What's more is that the designer recently opened her first boutique in Dallas, aims to bow a second location in New York or California in the near future, and is working on a line of handbags. This season, she even launched a limited-edition selection of dandyish men's shoes. As for the aesthetic of her vegetable-tanned leather kicks, Scott laughs that it comes from the fact that she's always dressed "a little bit like a boy." And her shoes' hand-done details are the influence of her grandfather. "He's Italian and he had all of his shoes handmade. So that element is really an ode to him."

Answer:Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The manufacturer has advised that the rug will have 40-60 knots/sq. inch. The rug is 1/4" thick. The manufacturer advises that because the fibers are shorter, this rug will not shed as much as a tufted rug. They also recommend regularly vacuuming the rug to minimize shedding. When vacuuming, please ensure that the beater bar to the vacuum is turned off.

The embarkation process was absolutely abysmal. It took us over 2 hours to get from near the front of the waiting line to inside the terminal. The ship was berthed at Terminal 29 (instead of the normal #2) due to an overflow of 9 ships in port at the same time. It took 40 minutes just to get onto the pier area with the car after we cleared Security to drop off the luggage. It went downhill from there. No parking on/near Terminal 29. Everyone who drove and had to park their vehicle had to go back out of the terminal and over to the mid-terminal area to the nearest parking garage, then take a shuttle back. Another 30 or 40 minutes in the shuttle waiting in the traffic jam. Only one lane open for all traffic turning left onto Terminal 29. All vehicles used the same single lane -- buses, shuttles, cars, taxis, etc. Once we got off the shuttle at Terminal 29, it was 2 hours standing in line to get into the building. Even "Elite" passengers, despite inquiring of Princess staff, could not jump to the head of the line, or be let in early. Only one side of a single double door into the building was opened for everyone to use, once it was opened. Some Princess staff or volunteers said the delay inside the building was due to only 2 Immigration staff showing up for work that day to do the off-load check of passengers disembarking. Once inside the building, Princess staff were plentiful and tried to keep things moving along with the hoards of hot, thirsty and tired passengers. Everyone agreed that they had never seen such a poor set-up for embarkation. Terminal 29 looks like a working loading dock, no amenities whatsoever. Cargo containers everywhere. Whatever entity runs Port Everglades should be ashamed of the lack of planning and execution that was more than evident on 12/01/12.
The cruise itself was delightful and all the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Once again, our cabin steward (Ricardo) went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. We don't know how Princess selects their staff, but as with our Alaska cruise 08/12, we could not have asked for better service all around.
We had terrific table-mates for early Traditional Dining and did not use the speciality dining this time. We went to the two wine tastings, several trivia events, lots of dancing in clubs and Skywalkers, and the productions shows. Everything on board was top-notch.
We like Princess so much, we have already booked two future cruises, but will probably not got out of Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale in the future because of this trip's Terminal 29 debacle.

Staff Writer
PLATTSBURGH — A touch of a screen can settle where to eat or what to do in Montreal.
If you own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, thank Steven Howell, the creator of Sutro Media's app, "Montreal Essential Guide."
App is short for applications, and there are thousands of apps for travel, language translators, stock prices and sports scores.
"There's an app for everything," said Howell, a Press-Republican contributing writer, who is author of five travel guides including "Great Destinations Montreal & Quebec City" and "Photographers Guide to Montreal & Quebec City" published by the Countryman Press.
San Francisco-based Sutro Media approached Howell about creating the "Montreal Essential Guide." Founded by Tobin Fisher and Kevin Collins, Sutro Media is "a new kind of app publishing company, bridges the gap between traditional print media and new media outlets."
"The company is named after an iconic landmark in the area called Twin Peaks," Howell said. "It's a broadcasting tower called Sutro Tower."
Sutro Media vets local author-experts like Howell to write specific apps for broad and niche travel markets such as "In Love in Paris" by Jean Moreau, "Boston Essential Guide" by Kim Grant and "Viva Las Vega, Baby!" by Sara Benson.
"The beauty of it is it's much more up-to-date than any book you will have," Howell said. "If a restaurant closes in Montreal, I can remove it. If it's already printed and published, there's no way I can change and remove it."
A perfect example is his listing of the Montreal Biodome.
"It's currently closed because of a labor dispute. I was able to add a comment to my entry. As soon as I type that comment in, people can comment. It's almost real time."
With 200 listings and 800 photographs, the guide is user-friendly and updated bi-weekly. It's available at www.iTunes.apple.com for $2.99.
"People standing on a street corner with their iPhone can say, 'What do you want to eat or what do you want to do?' You can make your decision and go there. If you click on the map within the entry, it will give you directions. It knows exactly where you are."
Entries are between 50 and 100 words with complementary photographs. Categories include "Architecture," "Cheap Eats & Tasty Treats," "Eat Montreal," "Family Friendly," "Festivals & Special Events," "Gay Montreal," "Info Center," "Montreal Originals," "Museums & Art," "Night Life," "Outside," "Performance," "Road Trips" and "Unique Boutiques."
"Montreal Essential Guide" went live July 18.
"It's already getting hits and downloads. It's marketed in app media outlets and app blogs as well as traditional media — print, radio, broadcast and magazines," Howell said. "I'm already working on a Quebec City app. That's going live in August. I'm doing one for the Adirondacks, 'Adirondack A-OK.'"

A tourist on vacation from Ohio got an unexpected encounter with a sea lion pup during a recent visit to SeaWorld Orlando.
Jonathan and Megan Schellhorn, visiting Orlando for a few days, took a trip to SeaWorld on Saturday. But they never expected to get up close and personal with a baby sea lion.
"It was a little nerve-wracking, but definitely good entertainment," Jonathan Schellhorn said.
Pictures: SeaWorld Orlando's Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin
He said his family was waiting out Saturday's storm when the sea lion darted out onto the visitor's walkway. Schellhorn said he was just 20 yards from the pup.
"It started toward the other direction," Schellhorn said. "It got into a big puddle, and it splashed around in there for a few minutes."
Schellhorn said it was funny at first, but then he started to worry for the safety of his wife and their son.
"He's only 3, so that was his first trip to SeaWorld," Schellhorn said. "I think my wife was probably a little bit more nervous. She's seven months pregnant."
SeaWorld said the sea lion is about 10 months old.
The Schellhorns watched it scoot from workers who eventually scooped it in a net and brought it back to the Pacific Point Preserve. The incident comes just weeks after a Gentoo penguin jumped out of its exhibit at the newly opened Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin attraction and started mingling with guests.
In an email, a SeaWorld spokesperson told FOX 35, "All animals are safe and back in their habitats."
SeaWorld said the pup started nursing from its mom just minutes after it was reunited with her. No one was hurt, including the sea lion. SeaWorld said the pup is doing just fine.
"It definitely will be a vacation to remember, for sure," Schellhorn said.

Funding this year for the Iberia Parish's levee district is now in the hands of the parish council.Finance Committee member David Ditch wouldn't vote to put $50,000 towards the levee district during a Finance Committee meeting on Wednesday, because voters were against funding it in April.Three other member of the committee sided with Ditch, so now the council will be voting without the committee's support.Although residents in the parish have already voted down funding for the levee district, committee member Troy Comeaux says he's sure businesses will get behind an ordinance from the council."You will see more people getting involved as we stated tonight there are some groups in Iberia Parish, businesses that are interested in seeing more discussion and more opportunity to protect our coast and our economic impact," says Comeaux.Comeaux voted to take the $50,000 from the parish royalty fund and put it towards the levee, which he says could be generously matched with state funds."(It could be a) $500,000 or a $250,000 grant—somewhere in that vicinity," says Comeaux. Ditch says as far as he's concerned levee district funding for this year was killed by Parish President Errol "Romo" Romero after he vetoed a council resolution on Monday to ask voters to use four different milages to fund it."That was the last chance in my opinion to get something done in the short term for the levee, now that the parish president single handedly took it upon himself to veto this resolution and take the people's right to vote away from them," says Ditch.

What are you doing to prepare?
Holidays are huge.
That's no secret to e-retailers. We at Internet Retailer also know the holiday season can make or break a retailer's annual sales. As such (and as usual), we are planning extensive coverage of the tactics retailers are employing, and also stories with tips to help retailers make the most out of those few short and crucial months.
But I also know the time is now—(actually, the time probably began a few months ago) that retailers are drafting their game plans to tackle the season. So I'm curious—what are you doing to prepare? And what have you done in the past that has worked (and that has not worked).
Are you focusing on site performance this year, striving to ensure not one customer is lost because he got sick of waiting for a page to load? Are you ramping up social media spend, trying new ways to turn happy customers into brand advocates? Are you employing new search ad spending tactics? Running leaner on inventory or stocking up on hot items to ensure you have enough to go around? And, for bricks-and-mortar shops, how is your holiday preparation plan different for e-commerce as opposed to stores?
I'm sure there are some interesting and less obvious nuggets of wisdom you can share.
Case in point: Experian Hitwise recently reported that gift card promotions in holiday e-mail marketing messages more than tripled conversion rates for multichannel retailers last year. Who knew shoppers were so wild for gift cards?
The same report also found e-mails containing free shipping offers with no minimum spending requirement had 70% higher conversion rates, triple the revenue per e-mail and more than double the average order value compared to free shipping offers with minimum spending requirements. I wonder if retailers knew there was that big a difference between the two versions of free shipping.
I'm certain our readers have uncovered other hidden gems. So please share: How are you greeting the Holidays? And what have you done in years past that helped make your holiday sales more jolly and less like a lump of coal?

Frustrating afternoon as Kuroda shuts down Red Sox
It was a frustrating afternoon at Fenway Park for the Red Sox as they had two runners thrown out at the plate and went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position in their 5-2 loss to the Yankees on Saturday.
The Red Sox got another strong start from John Lackey, but it wasn't good enough to best Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda threw seven innings allowing two runs on five hits, while striking out four. Lackey went 6 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on ten hits while striking out seven. Both pitchers were extremely effective early on as the first run of the game wasn't scored until the fifth inning.
"John pitched a very strong six-plus innings for us," said manager John Farrell "I thought in that seventh inning things started to back up a little bit on him and I totally understand in these kinds of conditions. I felt where we were in the part in the order, to go with a left-hander was the call. John was strong, he didn't issue a walk to contribute to their base hits and they were after him in the early parts of the count because he does throw so many strikes. They strung some hits together, but he stayed away from the big inning."
Matt Thornton took over for Lackey in the seventh with first and second and no outs, but he couldn't escape as he allowed both runners to score. He was not charged with a run over one inning of work. After Pedro Beato allowed the first two batters of the ninth to reach (one on an error), Drake Britton made his major league debut and allowed just one of those runners to score on a sacrifice from Robinson Cano to account for the fifth Yankees run.
Daniel Nava was thrown out in the plate in the first inning trying to score on a David Ortiz single to left, and Mike Carp was thrown out trying to score on a passed ball in the fifth. Both plays summed up the day for the Sox offense as they couldn't score until a Jonny Gomes sacrifice fly and then Carp scoring on a wild pitch in the seventh inning. Carp led the offense with three hits in the loss.
The teams will play the rubber game of their three-game series tomorrow night (8:05, ESPN) where Ryan Dempster will get the call for the Red Sox, after Jon Lester was pushed back to Tuesday, and be opposed by CC Sabathia.
What they'll be saying: These games are bound to happen when you are aggressive on the bases like the Red Sox are. In addition to the two runners thrown out at the plate, Nava was thrown out at second base trying to tag on a ball caught reaching into the stands by Yankees catcher Chris Stewart. This ended the eighth inning with David Ortiz and the tying run on deck. Farrell called it "over-aggressiveness" following the game … Although Lackey didn't have his best stuff he still pitched well enough to win. The game snapped a six-game streak of him allowing two runs or less.

On Friday night, it was payback time.
The Vikings turned five Pinson Valley turnovers into 24 points and cruised to a 31-13 road win over the Indians in a key region road game Friday night at Willie Adams Stadium.
Walker (2-1 overall, 2-0 in Class 5A, Region 6) put the game away in the second quarter, scoring 17 points during a torrid four-minute stretch. Each score came on the heels of a Pinson Valley turnover.
"Our defense did everything and more," Walker coach John Holladay said. "Our coaches had a great gameplan and our players executed. This win is huge. We beat a really good team on the road."
Pinson Valley's first possession ended in an interception by Walker's Quadrekas Key. It only got worse from there for the Indians, who took Oneonta — the No. 1 team in 4A — to the wire two weeks ago. Pinson Valley had a bad snap on a punt resulting in a Walker touchdown and also threw an interception and fumbled twice in the second quarter.
By halftime, the Vikings held an insurmountable 31-0 lead.
"The first half was the key. We pounced on a lot of loose footballs and made the most of it," Holladay said.
Walker's first three touchdowns came on a total of just eight plays. The Vikings drove 11 yards in four plays, 33 yards in three plays and eight yards in one play to build a four-touchdown lead.
The scoring started in the first quarter. Key set up the score with his first interception of the night at the Pinson Valley 11-yard line. From there, Blake Wilkes went into the end zone from one yard out. Joseph Pedraza's extra point made the score 7-0 at the 2:51 mark of the first quarter. Walker struck again later in the quarter. With the Indians backed up to the end zone, the ball was snapped over the head of the Pinson Valley punter. Walker's Jeb Cowen pounced on the loose ball for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 1:27 remaining in the quarter.
Walker's next score came on the third play of the second half when Michael Bridges scored from three yards out for a 21-0 lead. Just two plays later, Key stepped in front of a Pinson Valley pass and returned it 24 yards to the Indians' 16-yard line. After a Pinson Valley penalty put the ball at the 8-yard line, Tyler Phillips went into the end zone for a 28-0 lead with 10:17 left in the half.
John Michael Reed recovered a fumble on Pinson Valley's next possession.
The Vikings then got a 21-yard field goal from Pedraza for their final points of the night for a 31-0 lead with 6:50 left in the first half. Pinson Valley put together its longest drive of the opening half later in the second quarter, driving to the Walker 4-yard line before fumbling the ball. Key came up with the loose ball to end the threat.
Walker owned the first half, allowing just 95 yards of offense while forcing the five turnovers.
The Vikings kept the ball on the ground for the bulk of the second half. Pinson Valley scored its first touchdown of the game early in the third quarter when Koleman Powell connected with Donald Efram on a 25-yard strike on a fourth down play. The Indians' last touchdown came on a 40-yard touchdown pass from Powell to Earnest Robinson with 6:05 left in the game.
Robinson, an Auburn verbal commitment, was a non-factor for the Indians. He caught just one pass for five yards in the first half and finished with four receptions for 98 yards — 93 of those yards came in the final quarter.
Thanks to constantly playing with a short field, Walker tallied just 205 yards in the game. Michael Bridges led the way with 20 carries for 77 yards, Phillips had 56 yards on 14 carries, Kevin Clay added 25 yards on nine attempts and Wilkes rushed for 11 yards on six carries. Wilkes also completed 2 of 5 passes for nine yards.
Defensively, Key had two interceptions, a fumble recovery and five tackles, Blake Moore had 12 tackles and Austin Mansell had 10 tackles.
For Pinson Valley (1-2, 1-1), Coleman completed 20 of 30 passes for 343 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Friday's game was slowed by penalties. A total of 20 flags were thrown for 220 yards. The Vikings were flagged 13 times for 140 yards and also had a long touchdown pass called back in the third quarter.
Walker now heads home for three consecutive games starting with next week's showdown with Curry (1-2, 0-2). The Vikings also host Russellville in a non-region game and Hayden before hitting the road against Center Point.
