Pontiac resident Johnnie Carter sent in a photo of himself along with his brother and two other friends Ś all members of an order of bushy-faced men celebrating PontiacÆs centennial in 1961.
The Greater Pontiac Brothers of the Brush was a social group organized during the cityÆs centennial celebrations during the week of June 17 through 24 in 1961.
The membership guidelines were simple: Members had to do their ōcivic duty and grow a full beard, chin whiskers, mustache, sideburns or burnsidesö as part of the centennial celebration, making them a member in good standing of the society. To top it off, members were required to wear the official badge and an approved top hat or derby hat.
ōI never heard of it before either until back then,ö Carter said. ōMy youngest brother talked me into (joining), said, æHey I'm growing a beard for centennial. Why donÆt you get in here with me?Æ So we did.ö
Carter said that he didnÆt typically get involved with any sort of activity other than his work at Pontiac Motor Division, a job he started when he moved to Pontiac from Minden, La. when he was 20 years old.
ōI was a quiet type of person,ö he said. ōI didnÆt play cards, didnÆt dance, just went to work every day and raised my family. Not a leader and I never was a leader.ö
He said the intent of the group was to recreate the look and fashion common in 1861 Pontiac.
ōPeople dressed like people did at that time,ö he said. ōThey wore the beard and the hats, some called them derbies, some called them top hats, and the type of clothes they wore back then. It was just something to do, thatÆs all that it was.ö
The City of Pontiac celebrated its centennial from June 17 through June 24 in 1961.
The city was originally settled in 1818 and incorporated as a city in 1861.

In a phone conversation on Tuesday afternoon, Lesnar called the charges "A whole lot to do about nothing," and said he still didn't think he'd done anything wrong.
"As far as I'm concerned, I didn't disobey the law," Lesnar said. "I guess in other people's judgment, they saw it differently. At the end of the day, if they saw fit that I did something wrong, I'm a grown-up and I'll take my fine and go on with my life."
Lesnar said that the fallout from the guided excursion in November of 2010 hasn't soured him on potential future hunting trips in Canada, adding, "I'm an excellent hunter. I've been hunting since I was five years old, and at the end of the day, for God's sakes, I don't waste any meat. If you ever looked at my dinner plate when I was done eating you'd know that."
Ramona Robins, the chief prosecutor tasked with resolving the case, described Lesnar as "very cooperative" throughout her dealings with him, and noted that, as a non-Canadian citizen charged with violation of a provincial statute, "[h]ad he not cooperated the Crown could not have done anything to compel him to Court to answer to the charges."
The matter is settled for Lesnar, but charges still remain for his guide, Chad Stryker, who was charged with the same three offenses. Robins noted that Stryker could face stiffer penalties than Lesnar, "because he benefited commercially from the hunt and as a guide from Alberta should be held to a higher standard to know and appreciate the Wildlife Act and its various regulations than his client."

Less than a month out from the big event, the NSAC announces the referee assignment for the UFC 168 main event.
Before getting TKO'd in round 2 of his championship fight, Silva was openly mocking his challenger. The performance left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans and even threw off the official in...
Monster Brawl This was originally supposed to be a dream fight movie for horror enthusiasts. But instead it's a movie about...something featuring Kevin Nash and Jimmy Hart. And there's a cameo by Herb Dean. Cause Real Recognize Real
The camps of Rousimar Palhares and Dan Miller have different accounts of what happened at their UFC 134 bout.
With the level in competition rising in the sport, Dean spoke on the expectations of officiating to improve along with the athletes evolution. "We are always having much more closely contested fights and that is when the judges are going to need to earn their keep. It's a tough job. There is many times when I have been there as a referee on some of these very close fights and my first thought is man I'm so glad that I'm not a judge right now. I think the fans have an understanding, the athletes have an understanding of what's required of a judge and a referee so it's a lot tougher officiating in this sport. We have professional fighters, and they expect professional officials." Dean explains that fans of the sport not only criticize referee's, but respect an educated decision in the cage. "Well actually in this sport you do [receive approval]. The referee's that do a good job. That's something I like about the sport- is that the fans respect it, and they let you know. They let you know they appreciate you when you're doing something right also, and that's a good thing that wasn't expected. Source: Caged Insider
Referee Herb Dean blew a call in the second round of the bout between JZ Cavalcante and Bobby Green. Is it being overlooked because the main event was more controversial?

Vessel: Purchased in a 22 oz. bottle. Consumed from a tulip glass.
Appearance: Pours a thick dark brown head that is very slow to dissipate, and the beer is black… as advertised.
Smell: Notes of coffee and alcohol.
Taste: Distinctly bitter. It has a mild pepper/spice to it as well. Mild coffee and chocolate are present.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, smooth.
Overall: This is my first "black saison" and it was pretty good. It went down pretty easy and was solid all around. The bitterness was slightly over powering towards the end of the taste. Not my favorite beer but it might be yours so it's worth a shot.
Serving type: bottle

4.28/5 rDev +14.4%
The beer pours a dark brown black, with a beautiful thick coffee tan head with velvety small bubbles. The beer's body is dark black and impenetrably opaque, helping to give this black saison a very stout-like look. The beer's lacing is thicker in body forming curtains along the glass. On the nose the beer is lightly of roast and chocolate with a nice, almost sour funk hiding beneath the smell and providing light notes of peppercorn. On the tongue the beer tastes wonderfully stout-like, with roast and light char alongside slight chocolate sweet flavors with lactic sour flavors hiding beneath. The beer begins with light roast and almost lactic sugar creaminess, before opening into bigger roast that touches upon char and very slight sour apple before the roast hits char and washes it away. More fruit character appears as the beer warms, but the stout properties are still forefront in the taste. The finish lingers with roast and very light acidic sour. On the mouth the beer feels medium heavy and creamy smooth on the tongue, though a little watery in the finish. The mouth is left dry from the roast, but wet on the sides from the acid. Overall, I am a fan of this beer, but am a little confused with the style. It is far more a sour stout than a saison, as it does have that slight acidic sour to give it a strange flavor profile. I like this beer, but I think black saison is not the best definition for it. It is interesting, complex, and tasty. Try this beer.

3.58/5 rDev -4.3%
Bottle shared by Chris and Jason. Served in a Hill Farmstead glass.
A - Tan foam settles to a thick collar, wispy patches, and minimal lacing. Very dark brown body - definitely a 'dark saison'.
S - Farmhouse yeast is dominant and it's a touch phenolic and peppery, light cocoa dust, a bit of roasted grain.
T - The taste is quite similar, with flavors of dark bread, cocoa, phenolic farmhouse yeast, and a vague seltzer/carbonic acid flavor. Nothing mind-blowing, but solid for the dark saison style. Like eating some very yeasty dark bread.
M - Medium body, dry texture, a bit of warming alcohol, and a clean finish. Carbonation is moderate and quite pleasant.
D - This isn't a style I tend to like, but it's fairly well-executed. This is one of the best things I've had from White Birch, which means it's on par with a really mediocre Three Floyds beer. Might be worth trying if you're in the New Hampshire area and it's cheap, but otherwise somewhat forgettable.

Poured from a bomber into a tumbler pint, the beer is an extremely dark, chocolate-brown highlighted almost black coloring with a short, dark brown, frothy head that settles into a filmy coating. Aromas of roasted coffee, cocoa nib, and some funky and spicy characteristics. Initially smells as expected, but with an interesting twist at the end. Flavors are rich, with a dark, roasted coffee backbone supporting a cocoa nib highlight, as well as some farmhouse spicing, including coriander, jasmine, and pepper. Very dynamic, and very smooth, with a bitter, resiny hop closing at the end of the palate. The aftertaste is smooth, with a touch of bitter coffee and smooth, creamy chocolate. Very easy to drink. Smooth, rich, and fairly light finish thanks to a subtle carbonation and the drying effect of the hopping. Very drinkable.

Pours a pretty solid black color with a decent sized tan head that persists for a while leaving spotty lace on the way down. Smells of dark chocolate, caramel, spicy wheat, and a hint of pepper and other spices. The flavor definitely holds a lot of roast and chocolate along with a bready and caramel malt sweetness. Light spice and a hint of tart fruit cuts through the malt quite nicely. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet fruity tart mouthfeel going on. That's a nice beer. Kind of like a fruity Belgian stout or a roasted saison.

Let kids help plan their school lunches
- Written by Tribune Staff Report
- Published in The Learning Key
To help parents and caregivers faced with the ever-challenging task of preparing healthful school lunches that kids will actually eat, registered dietitian Sarah Wally offers a few tips:
• Include all food groups. A balanced lunch is a healthful lunch. Follow the MyPlate meal- planning model and pack a serving or two from each of the following categories: grains, vegetables, fruit, dairy and protein. Vegetables and fruits should account for roughly half of the meal.
• Keep foods safe. Making sure hot foods stay hot and cool foods stay cool is imperative to keep food-borne illness at bay. Insulated thermoses are a great option for storing soups or warm pasta. Adding a frozen juice box to your kid's lunch bag creates an instant ice pack to keep cool items chilled and it will defrost just in time to enjoy at lunch. As a bonus, just 4 ounces of 100 percent juice counts as a serving (half a cup) of fruit.
• Get the kids involved. Asking your children to help plan their weekly lunches lets them feel important and in control. Share with them your criteria for a healthy lunch and then give them some options to choose from. Kids will enjoy a break from repetitious lunches and learn a bit about creating healthful meals.
• Use lunchtime as a way to connect. A handwritten note can be a surprising, sentimental way to reconnect with your kids. Use a napkin to write a few words of encouragement before that after-lunch test or important soccer game. It can make their day.
Recipe for a healthful lunchbox
• Choose whole-grain breads and crackers for added fiber.
• Pack 100 percent juice, providing vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds called phytonutrients.
• Stick to low-fat or fat-free dairy products.
• Help your kids to "eat the rainbow" by offering a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.

Recipe: 'Roasted Cauliflower With Sherry Vinegar–Honey Sauce And Almonds'
Instead of placing vegetables straight into a hot oven without any protection, we cover our pans of chopped, thick cauliflower, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and carrots with aluminum foil. This way, the vegetables steam in the oven at a lower temperature for a short amount of time, retaining moisture and acquiring some persistent firmness before we remove the foil and let them brown.
Roasted Cauliflower
Serves 4 to 6
This dish stands well on its own, drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil, but it can also be prepared with a sauce (recipes follow).
1 head cauliflower (2 pounds)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Trim outer leaves off cauliflower and cut stem flush with bottom. Cut head into 8 equal wedges through center core. Place wedges cut side down on aluminum foil– or parchment paper–lined rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently rub seasonings and oil into cauliflower. Gently flip cauliflower and repeat on second cut side with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Cover baking sheet tightly with foil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove foil and continue to roast until bottoms of cauliflower pieces are golden, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and, using spatula, carefully flip wedges. Return baking sheet to oven and continue to roast until cauliflower is golden all over, 8 to 12 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
Sherry Vinegar–Honey Sauce with Almonds
Makes enough for 1 recipe Roasted Cauliflower
Both regular and golden raisins work well here.
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup raisins
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
Heat oil in 8‑inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add raisins and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and add water, vinegar, and honey. Simmer until lightly syrupy, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in almonds, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle sauce over roasted cauliflower and garnish with chives before serving.

The surging Phillies had their seven-game winning streak snapped on Thursday by a three-run 8th inning Astros rally. The Phillies broke out early to a 4-0 lead on the strength of a second inning RBI double from Eric Kratz and a flurry of four singles in the third. Phillies rookie starter Tyler Cloyd pitched only three innings, as he was knocked out in the fourth after giving up three runs without recording an out. The Phillies middle relief recorded a strong effort though, as B.J. Rosenberg, Josh Lindblom, and Antonio Bastardo combined for four innings of two-hit ball.
But Phillippe Aumont could not hold the lead, as he walked two and hit a batter in the eighth. Jed Lowrie then roped a double into the gap in right-center field to give the Astros the lead. Brandon Barnes then added a single to score Lowrie and give the Astros a 6-4 lead. Wilton Lopez recorded his fifth save of the season in closing out the ninth.
Jimmy Rollins was historic in the losing effort, recording the 400th steal of his career. He walked in the 8th inning and moved to second base on Carlos Ruiz's pinch-hit single. With Chase Utley batting, Rollins stole third for his 27th theft of the year, making it an even 400.

Most of these cosmic fruitcakes are solitary wanderers, but some are paired up, as remnants of binary stars. They will orbit a common point in space and gradually drift closer and closer, spiraling toward one another in obedience to Einstein's laws of general relativity. One day, they will collide.
In the Milky Way galaxy, with hundreds of billions of stars, such a neutron-star collision is likely to happen about once every 100,000 years, Berger said.
Astronomers are fortunate in that the universe is so vast, containing many billions of galaxies, that any all-sky survey might possibly see something even as rare as a neutron-star collision. So it was that on June 3, NASA's Swift space telescope observed a flash of light, called a short gamma-ray burst (GRB), in an extremely distant galaxy in the constellation Leo.
Astronomers scrambled to reobserve that tiny patch of space with a powerful telescope in Chile and with the Hubble Space Telescope.
They saw something glowing where they'd earlier seen the GRB. After comparing their observations with theoretical models, the astronomers concluded that they were seeing the radioactive afterglow from a huge quantity of heavy metals formed by a neutron-star smashup.
This observation potentially explains this type of short-duration GRB. These flashes of light can briefly outshine an entire galaxy. The June event, in a galaxy 3.9 billion light-years away, lasted only two-tenths of a second.
Although neutron-star collisions had been proposed as a source of such GRBs, now there is a direct observation.
"When they make contact, several exciting things happen very quickly," Berger said. "Most of the material actually collapses to form a black hole. Some of the material then gets sucked into the black hole. That is the event that causes the gamma-ray burst. Some of the material gets spewed out into space. That material, since it came from neutron stars, is very rich in neutrons, and as a result, is very efficient at forming these heavy elements, including gold."

Only one Piazza, but Draft hides late gems
From Conine to Buehrle, many enjoy productive careers
First and foremost, Gerrit Cole, hometown hero Bubba Starling and all of the other top picks in the First-Year Player Draft have the spotlight now. Some will progress as expected and keep it. Realistically, however, they now all enter a melting pot in which development, not Draft status, decides fates.As the 2011 First-Year Player Draft winds down into four-digit territory on Wednesday, the downtrack selections can look for hope and encouragement from predecessors who started out in Draft shadows and surfaced into Major League sunshine. In pro football circles, they called him Mr. Irrelevant, the very last Draft pick who was toasted and celebrated for coming in as the last selection in the seventh round. Baseball's Draft goes much deeper than that, but there are no Messrs. Irrelevant. Everyone matters, because the top can be reached from any depth with a perseverance that deserves an award, not mockery. And, so, we at MLB.com would like to unofficially introduce an annual honor to be presented to the lowest-ranked player appearing in the Majors, the Mike Piazza Award. The name on the trophy -- which thus far this season belongs to Angels reserve catcher Bobby Wilson -- is a natural, dedicated to the catcher who went from being pick No. 1,390 in 1988 to very likely a Hall of Fame career. Piazza is not the lowest draftee ever to make the big leagues. Not even close: Scott Seabol, pick No. 1,718 in 1996, made the Yankees' 2001 Opening Day roster. But Piazza achieved the greatest career from the south side of the Draft. Piazza's entry will be an enduring legend, on a par with the Red Sox's trade of Babe Ruth and the Pirates' hijacking of Roberto Clemente out of Brooklyn's farm system. Just about everyone else had gone home by the time the Dodgers -- as a courtesy to manager Tom Lasorda, the Pennsylvania native's godfather -- selected Piazza with their 62nd and final pick. Merely an honorary choice? Really? Put it this way: The White Sox took Carey Schueler, the softball-playing daughter of general manager Ron Schueler, with their 43rd-round pick in 1993. Yet, four years after being drafted, Piazza was behind the plate in Chavez Ravine. That's the kind of swift ascent that can give you a nosebleed. And infuse others with that can-do attitude. Incidentally, recognizing the Major Leaguers who overcame low Draft status overlooks a group that scoffed at even longer odds, the guys who weren't drafted at all yet made it. Like Matt Stairs, who is still swinging it for the Nationals in his 20th big league season. And Heath Bell, San Diego's lights-out closer. Ten who are doing it (lowest-drafted players currently in the Majors):
No. 1,417: Bobby Wilson, Angels (48, 2002)
Six years after first reaching the Majors, the catcher-first baseman still has room on the Halos' bench. No. 1,333: Tony Sipp, Indians (45, 2004)
A key piece of the American League Central-leading Indians' bullpen. No. 1,290: Kyle Farnsworth, Rays (47, 1994)
In his 13th season and with his sixth team, the right-handed reliever has finally found his calling -- which now comes in the ninth inning for the Rays. No. 1,286: Wil Nieves, Brewers (47, 1995)
The still-solid defensive catcher is lending his smarts and his mitt to Milwaukee. No. 1,280: Orlando Hudson, Padres (43, 1997)
Four Gold Glove Awards and two All-Star selections later, the second baseman is still going strong with his fifth club. No. 1,220: Todd Coffey, Nationals (41, 1998)
He was only 17 when drafted and, at 30, is enjoying his best season yet out of Washington's bullpen. No. 1,157: Jason Isringhausen, Mets (44, 1991)
The big right-hander has traveled a long road that has led back to his original club, for which he has done limited, but excellent, relief work. No. 1,143: Randy Wells, Cubs (38, 2002)
Recently activated after missing the season's first two months with a forearm injury, the right-hander has the nasty stuff to help the Cubs rally in the National League Central. No. 1,139: Mark Buehrle, White Sox (38, 1998)
Two no-hitters, one of them perfect, and 153 wins say it all.
No. 1,134: Rajai Davis, Blue Jays (38, 2001)
In his seventh season, Davis is among the leaders in the AL with 18 stolen bases.

AAJ: Treat Trial Attorneys Like Other Small Businesses; Bipartisan Legislation Will Clarify IRS Tax Code
The following is a statement from American Association for Justice Senior VP of Public Affairs Linda Lipsen:
"The American Association for Justice strongly supports bipartisan legislation that will correct inequities regarding trial attorney expenses. Recently, there has been inaccurate and purposefully misleading reporting regarding this legislation.
"The tax legislation will treat the trial attorney profession like every other small business in this country, allowing them to deduct their expenses in the year incurred. Currently, trial attorneys pay all case costs from their own pocket when representing Americans that cannot afford exorbitant hourly fees. These attorneys must wait to deduct their expenses until the case concludes. This legislation will allow the IRS to treat this profession as every other small business.
"The bill merely changes the timing of the deduction to when the expenses are paid – it would not in any way increase the amount of the deduction.
"In 1995, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that attorneys could take the deduction in the year the expense incurred, but the IRS has not adopted this position. Therefore, the law is hopelessly muddled, and that is why this legislation is needed.
"The original 'reporting' on this legislation came last week from a U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform-owned (ILR) publication called Legalnewsline.com. Legalnewsline.com is advocacy disguised as journalism, while ILR is a corporate front group dedicated to undermining the civil justice system.
"The comments cited in the story were taken totally out of context, without regard for the totality of the conversation the reporter tried to hear while apparently lurking in a doorway of a closed meeting. The bill described by Legalnewsline.com and today's Washington Times editorial is not a nefarious 'special tax break' that they claim it is.
"This tax bill has very solid bipartisan support and makes a sound change to currently muddled IRS policy and conflicting court rulings."

GREENSBORO, NC -- You cut yourself in the kitchen - you slap a BAND-AID on and keep going. Alot of times, that's what folks in restaurant kitchens do too. But there's another step we all need to be taking.
Chef Keith Gardiner is an instructor in GTCC's Culinary Technology Department. He says, " A lot of times I just see people put a bandage on but the proper way is to put a band aid on and then a glove over that. Change the glove and bandage as often as you need too, too keep it on."
"The problem with a wound in a kitchen is you really need to keep a glove on all day long so you'll have to be constantly changing it."
Keith says sometimes you can use the product New Skin, depending on where the cut is. But he says you still need to wear a glove over it.
"What you don't want is to allow the wound to come in contact or even the bandage with any food or food prep surfaces."
Restaurants can lose up to four points if fined for this violation.

Q: I can see the value in advanced framing in terms of reduced thermal bridging, better insulation, and savings in framing lumber. But I've hesitated to get serious about it because I worry that the absence of some familiar framing member is going to make
Take pains to seal all possible leaks, then run a blower-door test before insulating.
Advanced framing and exterior foam reduce conductive heat loss and provide good air-sealing opportunities.
Adding rigid foam to the outside of the shell dramatically increases R-value while reducing thermal conduction.

A Kansas City woman learned too late about a landlord licensing program that could have prevented her from moving into a rental home which she says made her sick.
Lisa Erwin used a cell phone to record the last few minutes she spent inside a Kansas City, KS, rental home, just off North 38th Street, before she packed up her cats and moved into a hotel.
"You can't smell it but the stench is pretty bad in here," Erwin said on the video. "You can already see all the bugs. Here's a big crack. I've actually seen bugs crawling out of."
Erwin said it was the six acres of secluded land surrounding the particular property that convinced her to sign the lease. She thought it provided the perfect location for a home spa and retreat.
"The point was to come up here and start something a little different and build a business up here," Erwin said.
After just two weeks, Erwin said she had to abandon the place.
"It was a huge nightmare," Erwin said.
She meant that literally.
"I woke up at 5 a.m., completely nauseous, sick to my stomach, very ill," she said.
Erwin said the gut-wrenching smell that made her sick was not present when the landlord showed her the place.
But she said, shortly after moving in, the stench began taking over the house. When complaints to the landlord failed to improve things to Erwin's satisfaction, she reached out for help.
"We really called the city to see if I had any rights," Erwin said. "The city said to us, 'We don't have any record of that house being a rental.'"
The Unified Government of Wyandotte County requires the licensing and inspection of all rental properties.
According to records obtained by KCTV5 in May, the county's page list is filled with the names of more than 6,700 approved properties and their landlords.
To make it on the list, each property must be inspected for health, safety and building codes.
Neither Erwin's landlord nor her rental address appeared on that list. When the county found that out, they slapped a yellow violation sticker on the front door.
KCTV5 contacted the landlord about the missing license.
She called the issue a paperwork "oversight." As for the conditions of the home, she said Erwin complained a lot, then disconnected the call.
Wyandotte County's rental licensing coordinator, Debby Graber, takes care of the inspections required before renters are allowed to occupy a property.
"Most of the time when tenants go in they are looking at the aesthetics of the property or how it works for their family," Graber said. "We look for things that could potentially be problem for them later on."
Some of the things that will prevent her inspectors from passing a property include exterior problems, like bars on the windows, unsafe gas lines and potential electrical hazards. The issues she has seen range from the dangerous to just plain strange.
"In one case a few years back, we walked into a kitchen and there was a commode sitting in the kitchen and no walls around it. I mean it was just sitting there," Graber said.
Graber said she struggles to comprehend the quality of housing some landlords are willing to put up for lease.
"I've never understood how anyone could rent a piece of property they wouldn't live in themselves," Graber said.
"They (landlords) have a responsibility to that property and this community," Graber said.
Wyandotte County's licensing program takes the power out of a landlord's hands. But KCTV5 discovered not every community looks out for tenants in this way.
On the Missouri side of the Kansas City metro, Gladstone and Raytown have zero landlord licensing requirements.
Lee's Summit requires a license only when a landlord rents more than one property.
Kansas City, North Kansas City, Independence, Blue Springs and Grandview have some form of rental licensing or inspections.
Across the state line, most Kansas cities have rental property rules.
When it comes to inspections, Lawrence inspects 10 percent of properties every year.
Merriam inspects all properties every two years. Mission doesn't inspect inside any single-family rentals. Olathe does not inspect or register any rental property.
Learning about the Wyandotte County landlord licensing list was a tough lesson for Erwin.
"I've never in my whole life ... ever rented ... had to look up a landlord to see if they have a license or a history of the house or anything like that," Erwin said.
She hopes her story will keep others from making a similar mistake.
"It was horrendous," Erwin said. "It was probably one of the worst experiences that I've ever been in."
Erwin's ex-landlord has filed for a license since it was learned she was operating without one.
Wyandotte County gives landlords 45 days to apply for a license. If that doesn't happen, a landlord can be slapped with a summons for municipal court.
Even so, the county knows there are still some landlords yet to be discovered which means renters must do their homework before signing a lease.

Solar Panels Stolen from Hearst Elementary
Original post made by Concerned parent on Jun 24, 2008
I heard that 30 or so of the brand-new solar panels that were installed on top of Hearst Elementary school on Case Ave. were stolen over the weekend. The thieves must have used ladders to get on top of the school buildings and a truck to haul the panels away. Does anybody have additional information?

As a physician specializing in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Cynthia Glines, MD, has been well acquainted with the inner workings of Munson Medical Center's Intensive Care Unit and other areas of the hospital.
As a recently appointed member of the Munson Healthcare Regional Foundation Board of Trustees, she's gaining a whole new perspective on the complicated nature of delivering quality health care in a challenging and ever-changing economic climate.
"It's interesting to see the overall needs of the community in terms of health care, the facility needs at the hospital, and the challenge of supporting those needs financially," she said.
During 20 years of practicing at Munson Medical Center, Glines witnessed and participated in an evolution of the way medicine is practiced at the hospital and within the medical community.
"It's been an amazing transformation, really," she said. "When I began, physicians did things their own way. Now, there has been a transfer to evidence-based medicine and adoption of best practices. It is no longer, 'My way is best,' but, 'What is the best way to do this and let's do it that way.' It's made a huge difference in the way medicine is being practiced."
Glines is married to urologist Robert Hall, MD, and remains well connected to the medical community.
She was asked to join the Foundation Board by past president Cathie Martin. "It was presented to me as an opportunity to serve, and I thought perhaps I had something valuable to offer as a board member," she said.

Darwen man has fund-raising licked for East Lancs Hospice (From Blackburn Citizen)

Darwen man has fund-raising licked for East Lancs Hospice
8:00pm Saturday 11th January 2014 in News By Dan Clough, Reporter
AN idea first published in the Lancashire Telegraph 15 years ago has gone on to raise £15,000 for East Lancashire Hospice.
David Kimberley, 36, of Duddon Avenue, Darwen, came up with the idea of collecting stamps to raise funds for the hospice after suffering from a chronic intestinal illness.
Mr Kimberley asked people to donate their used stamps, either by dropping them at the hospice or at his home.
And since then, the stamps have generated £1,000 per year.
Mr Kimberley started with an appeal in the then Lancashire Evening Telegraph and was surprised at the number of stamps he received, some in small sandwich bags and others in bin bags.
He said: "People send me the stamps and when there are enough for a bin bag or two, I pass them on to the hospice and they sell them to a dealer.
"I choose the hospice as I knew some friends who had been in there and the care they had received had been marvellous.
"I felt I wanted to do something to help them and I knew other charities had collected stamps to raise cash, so thought it was a good idea.
"After my illness, collecting the stamps helped me as well and I would like to thank everyone who has donated them and helped to raise this amazing amount."
Fundraising manager Sharon Crymble said: "Used stamps are something that everyone receives and by donating them to the hospice, it is a great way to raise funds to help us to care for our patients.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank David for bringing the idea to the hospice all those years ago and for continuing to support us all this time."
Used stamps can be dropped off either at Merton House reception in the hospice grounds or at Mr Kimberley's house at 28 Duddon Avenue, Darwen.

I hope everyone had a great SkillsUSA Week, February 6-10. We heard about lots of activity from around the country as our chapters and state associations were very engaged in advocacy and service activities. We were also happy to have approximately 100 attendees on our SkillsUSA Week Webinar on Tuesday, February 7 and very pleased with the special guests who participated. Our board president, two national student presidents and one of our business partners (and a former member) all did a great job with their presentations on the broadcast. What did you do for SkillsUSA Week?
SkillsUSA WeekFebruary 15th, 2012
State Director Association Officers' MeetingFebruary 15th, 2012
The officers of the SkillsUSA State Director Association met on January 25-27 in Red Rock, Nev., to review the first draft of the national FY13-14 strategic plan, advise national staff on issues in the states and to create an agenda for the state directors' annual professional development and training conference. The annual conference will be held this year on August 14-18 in Rapid City, S.D. The officers selected Grand Rapids, Mich., as the site for their 2015 meeting.
The officers are great communicators. They'll be holding a webinar on February 21 to update all of the state association directors on their meeting. My thanks go to Ohio state association director, Mike Cowles, the state association officers and to national staff members.
Swing through Keystone State CompetitionsFebruary 15th, 2012
January 31 – February 1, I visited two events in Pennsylvania. The first was the District 2 Championships in Bucks County near Philadelphia. It was my first competition of the season, and it was impressive to see the commitment of the administrators and their schools. On the first day they had 200 students competing in leadership contests. The next day, there were 300 students competing in the skills contests. And, they had 200 volunteers judging coming from business, the military and education, including the superintendent of schools. That's doing it right.
Then I was off to District 11 in Allentown. There were over 400 students competing, and the whole set up was beautiful. It looked like a miniature national Championships. Jeri Widdowson, Pennsylvania state association director was there as well as Joe Pientrantonio, Laurie Gostley and Lynn Scheitrum from Air Products. In fact, over 100 companies supported the contests and over 100 business leaders from the area attended the VIP luncheon. It was a great networking opportunity. There is a nice TV story on the contests at: www.wfmz.com/news/news-regional-lehighvalley/Students-put-skills-to-the-test-in-hands-on-competition/-/132502/8579400/-/n7udb1/-/index.html
HighlightsFebruary 15th, 2012
- Membership continues to run ahead of last year. We have 269,915 members entered now. That's 715 more than this date last year. More states have surpassed their total membership last year. Congratulations to the following state associations for exceeding last year's overall membership. They are California, Clay Mitchell; Connecticut, Heidi Balch; Hawaii, Gilbert Chun; Massachusetts, Karen Ward; Mississippi, Andy Sims; New Jersey, Pete Carey; New York high school division, Bruce Potter; Oklahoma, Darren Gibson; Pennsylvania, Jeri Widdowson; Rhode Island, Josh Klemp; and, Virginia, David Rathbone.

- On January 21, I was in Henderson, Nev., at a brand new state-of-the art technical center to do strategic planning with the Nevada board of directors and Mike Pointer. They put together a two-year plan and a copy has gone to Mike Raponi, past SkillsUSA state association director and now state CTE director.
- I recently met with Tim Zilke, CEO of ASE. Mr. Zilke invited in the local expert on nonprofit management and human resource management ASE uses and he's agreed to review our SkillsUSA succession plan.

Bay County will file a full and final claim for damages from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. County commissioners decided to proceed with the claim during an executive session near the end of Tuesday's board meeting.
The total claim includes $2.788 million in damages and a "risk transfer payment" of $5.576 million. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, BP will still be responsible for future environmental cleanup but have no liability for future economic impacts. The risk transfer payment – the "premium" BP will pay to obtain a final release from the county – is intended to cover potential damages not considered environmental in nature.
In determining the claim amount, the county considered the oil spill's impact on solid waste tipping fees, specialty waste fees, electricity sales, water utility fees, communications services taxes, vessel registration fees and pier fees.
Excluded from the damage calculation are ad valorem claims, gas taxes, civil citations and building inspection fees.

Option: Let's say you join a company and you are given the option to buy 500 shares of the company at your one-year work anniversary, for the current share price of, say, $10. When the year comes around, you must choose whether or not to exercise that option. The great thing is, you have something like foresight: you can compare the current share unit value to the one stated in your option. If the share price has gone up to $15 a share and you fully exercise your option, you will have effectively made $5 on every share ($2500)! Conversely, if share price has gone down to $5, you probably won't exercise that option. Options are also granted, in some cases, to sell a specific quantity of shares at a specific price within a specific time frame.

Are there any substantive differences between traditional atheism vs. what is called "New Atheism"? Or is the term used just to describe a bunch of popular books (Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, etc.) coming out at once? Who coined the term "New Atheism" and can it be described as a new philosophical movement (or reframing of an old one)?
The "New Atheism movement" originated, or at least gained wide currency, with a 2006 article by Gary Wolf in Wired the technology/cyberspace magazine (whose innovative founding editor Kevin Kelly happens to be a devout Christian).
Yes, Wolf's news peg was a "bunch of popular books" preaching atheism that appeared around that time: "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins (now professor of science literacy at Britain's New College of Humanities), "Breaking the Spell" by Daniel Dennett (co-director of Tufts University's Center for Cognitive Studies") and "The End of Faith" by Sam Harris (a Ph.D. in neuroscience who runs Project Reason). Later books capitalized on the trend.
What's new about New Atheism?
No, not substantive arguments for disbelief, which are as perennial as the case for God. Rather, a tactical lurch toward emotion-laden partisanship and take-no-prisoners rhetoric that might make a Fundamentalist blush. Such tactics win visibility and sales, much like what we get in current U.S. politics and political media. Wolf said the new approach demands uncompromising hostility by folks like himself, "we lax agnostics, we noncommital non-believers, we vague deists." The New Atheists insist that such fence-sitters must arise to "help exorcise this debilitating curse: the curse of faith… They condemn not just belief in God but respect for belief in God. Religion is not only wrong; it's evil."
Thus all religions must be ridiculed, believers scorned as naive or stupid, and even trivial acknowledgments of religious heritage extirpated from public life. Some proponents even think parents should no longer be permitted to raise children in their faith. (It's unclear whether government should enforce this by law or whether in fairness atheists should likewise be forbidden to press their skepticism upon offspring.)
No more mere tut-tutting in faculty lounges or living rooms. It's all a throwback to Robert Ingersoll (1833-1899), a preacher's kid and onetime Illinois attorney general who fashioned a lucrative career delivering caustic, entertaining lectures that assailed religion and the Bible.
What did agnostic Wolf conclude about the anti-God ruckus?

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The LA Times is taking notice of the latest project filming in Hollywood East.
An article in Wednesday's paper explores the reasons why CBS's Under the Dome picked Wilmington, Southport and Burgaw for filming.
According to the article, CBS considered Texas and Louisiana - but chose our area because of North Carolina's 25% film tax credit.
It also mentions that NBC's Revolution selected Wilmington for filming, as well as movies like Iron Man 3 and We're the Millers.
