She was so fleet-footed in her youth that she was named after a famous racehorse, but age finally caught up to a Damara zebra at the Oregon Zoo.
"Citation" was euthanized at the zoo on Monday night.
At 37, she had been the oldest zebra in the entire U.S. zoo population, the folks at the zoo told FOX 12.
"We knew this day was coming, but that doesn't make it easier," said keeper Diane Gould, who worked with Citation ever since the zebra's arrival in Portland 14 years ago.
"She had a great personality - very easygoing. She was well liked by keepers and staff … even the other animals," she said.
Gould said Citation got along with all the species that shared her Africa Savanna habitat over the years: lesser kudu, gerenuk, hooded vultures and even an "ill-tempered Egyptian goose."
"She always seemed very much at home," Gould said.
"She liked sharing the savanna habitat with the gerenuk. If Citation was the first one out, she would wait for the gerenuk to come out. She really enjoyed the sunshine, and I'm glad she got to be in the sun quite a bit during her last days."
Citation was born at the Kansas City Zoo on Aug. 30, 1975, and moved to Portland in March 1999.
Jan Armstrong, former animal curator at the Kansas City Zoo, is believed to have named the frisky zebra calf after the famous racehorse Citation, a Triple Crown winner in 1948.
Despite her advanced age, keepers say the zebra had been doing well until recently.
Last week, she began dropping food because of a tooth overgrowth. Like horses, zebras' teeth continue to grow throughout their lives and can develop sharp points on the molars, requiring what is known as "floating," or filing down.
Local equine specialists were called in to examine her teeth, but it was clear Citation's health was deteriorating.
"She didn't have much appetite at all," Gould said. "She did take a few chunks of apple, which is a special treat for her. But I almost think she did that to make me feel better."
On Monday night, a late-shift keeper called zoo veterinarians to report Citation was down and apparently unable to stand up.
Vets assisted the elderly zebra to her feet, but she only stood for short time with legs splayed, unable to remain upright on her own.
Not wanting Citation to suffer, zoo staff made the difficult decision to euthanize her.
"As painful as it was for us, it was the most humane option," said Chris Pfefferkorn, zoo deputy director. "We have a lot of geriatric animals at the zoo, and our staff works hard to make sure they have a good quality of life. Citation not only lived a very long life, she lived a very good one."
The zoo hopes to acquire more zebras in the future, said Pfefferkorn.
Until then, the habitat Citation once occupied will remain home to gerenuk and Speke's gazelle.
Part of the challenge in acquiring new zebras, Pfefferkorn said, is finding ones that, like Citation, are well-suited to a mixed-species environment, since zebras are sometimes aggressive toward other animals.
Damara zebras can be distinguished from other subspecies of plains zebra by their stripes: Between the usual black stripes, Damaras have an additional gray "shadow line."
A zebra's particular pattern of stripes is as unique and defining as fingerprints are to humans.
Damara zebras typically live 20 years or more.
While not endangered, the Damara zebra population is thought to be in decline.

From LSU Sports
BATON ROUGE – After exploding as one of the NFL's rising special teams stars during the 2012 preseason, former LSU Track & Field star Trindon Holliday earned his place on the 53-man roster for the Houston Texans as they prepare for Sunday's regular-season home opener against the Miami Dolphins.
Holliday solidified his roster spot in Houston's final preseason game on Thursday of last week as he made a third quarter 76-yard punt return for a touchdown in a 28-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
It was Holliday's third special teams touchdown of the preseason as he also opened the campaign with his first quarter 90-yard kickoff return for a score in a 26-13 win on the road against the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 11 and a fourth quarter 87-yard punt return for a touchdown in a 20-9 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on their home field Reliant Stadium in Houston back on Aug. 18.
Holliday wrapped up the preseason with 359 yards on nine kickoff returns for an average of 39.9 yards on each return and 211 yards on 10 punt returns for an average of 21.1 yards per return.
Holliday was drafted by the Houston Texans with the 197th overall pick during the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft before signing his first professional contract on May 17, 2010. After spending two seasons as a member of the practice squad and being placed on injured reserve, Holliday was signed to its active roster on Oct. 12, 2011, before making his NFL regular season debut on Oct. 23 at the Tennessee Titans.
"Trindon is a lot better football player than he was the last two years," said Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak of Holliday. "Trindon can go play on the offensive side of the ball. I think he's a much more complete player as far as us finding ways to use him. But what he did through the course of this preseason was exceptional and his spot on this team was well-earned."
Holliday is one of the greatest sprinters to ever lace up a pair of spikes for the Tigers as he was crowned a NCAA champion in the 100-meter dash during his senior season outdoors in 2009 when he recorded a PR of 10.00 seconds in the national final to wrap up his collegiate career.
A native of Zachary, La., Holliday was a four-time SEC champion and an eight-time All-American on the track during his collegiate career as the nation's leading two-sport standout.

To the burning question, So when will Tony La Russa actually use Jake Westbrook in the World Series? we seem to have an answer: Either when the Cardinals are way behind, or never.
Because La Russa clearly isn't going to use Westbrook when the Cardinals are ahead, no matter by how much.
Let's think about this ... Heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, you're ahead by eight runs. You've got two more games in the next 48 hours, and your No. 4 starter is pitching the first of them. Both games will be played in one of the game's friendliest places for hitters. There is every indication that you'll need your best relief pitchers to give you some good innings, in these next 48 hours.
Given all that, would you let Lance Lynn throw (another) seven pitches in the bottom of the seventh? Would you replace Lynn with Octavio Dotel?
Tony La Russa obviously would, because he just did. You would, maybe. I would not.
I say there's little point in carrying Jake Westbrook if you're not going to use him in exactly this spot. He might not be good. But there's 99-percent chance he's good enough to not blow an eight-run lead.
Anyway, the Rangers did reach Lynn and Dotel for one run, coming on Mike Napoli's sac fly, and so after seven full innings the score is Cardinals 14, Rangers 7.

A Lorax-Inspired Birthday Party by Katharine Stahl 11/30/12 12 Reactions 76 Shares Print 51 19 6 0 0 According to a very informal survey of LilSugar editors, moms love The Lorax as much, if not more, than their kids. It's an opinion shared by mom-blogger Smita of The Party Wall, who dreamed up an imaginative, intricate, and fanciful party inspired by the book and film for her son's fifth birthday party. Full of characters and imagery from the book, upcycled decor, and eco-friendly activities, this party has an almost overwhelming amount of detail, most of which Smita created all by herself. A 12-page personalized invitation book, written by Smita in Seuss-speak, an insanely amazing cake, and some awesomely creative, thoughtful extras (kids had to bring five cents, a nail, and the shell of a great-grandfather snail, which Smita provided, to gain entry to the bash) make this one of our most-loved parties ever. Keep clicking to check out some of our favorite details. Source: The Party Wall Invitation What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Smita created a 12-page book for the invitation.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

The label is classic Fathead's dude as an Oompa Loompa, the beer sounds sickeningly sweet thank the beer gods and Matt Cole that's not the case here. Pours a deep dark almost black with ruby cola tinted highlights with a dark cocoa bean tan head leaving light speckled bands of lacing around the sides of my glass. Aroma has sweet vinous undertones rounded out with dark chocolate roasts and hints of vanilla bean and a smidge of lactose creaminess rolling in the backend. Flavor has a balanced sweetness with dark chocolate cacao style roasted malts, a dry finish not overtly creamy or sweet compared to other milk (cream) stouts around. Dark Belgianesque chocolate hits with a nutty dark roasted coffee flavor with layered hints of vanilla bean additions peaking through. Mouthfeel has some warming alcohol shows up a bit, which is surprising considering it's only 6.5% abv, lingering bitterness from dark chocolate and herbal hops breaking through just barely. Medium to full bodied with flowing carbonation levels, goes down extremely smooth and easy. Overall a nice change of pace from the regular Fathead's lineup, roasted dark chocolate bitterness intermingles with hints of vanilla bean again thank the beer gods and Matt Cole for having the foresight not to make this a lactose bomb, in fact it's very much balanced and approachable. My cigar pairing for this beer came from Nicaragua Don Pepin Garcia's My Father cigars blended by Pete Johnson of Tatuaje for Janny Garcia: La Duena #2 Belicoso it paired well with the spicy Nicaraguan tobacco and dark tannins of the rich cigar which brought leather, spice, pepper, and black walnuts to the party.

Oompa Loompa looks pretty creamy off the tap, not too much thickness to it but some. It's quite a dark brown with some red coming in on the sides and showing through in the light. The light brown head is creamy, and it rises to over a finger but fades to half that quickly. What's left it solid and strong, leaving pretty good deposits via a ring at the top and some spotting to follow.
There's a certain sweetness to this stout, both creamy and toffee-like, but I think something about how it mixes with the hard roast gives it a hint of a burnt note to it. It's not too much but it's there. There's some wood and lots of some heartier nut, and vanilla pulls out the finish before some astringent hardwood comes into the finish, more in the flavor. There's complexity to the sweetness, with brown sugar and caramel along with the vanilla, maybe something like anise just a ghost in it. The astringent note isn't huge, but impossible not to notice.
The body is full but there's an almost spritzy impression simply from the abundance of the carbonation. There's plenty of creaminess, but as the char comes in it dries it out at the back of the throat a little.

Pours a deep black with ruby highlights. Thick (fat?) head of tan foam. Gorgeous lace.
Nose is roasty chocolate and some vanilla bean in the background. Very appealing.
Flavor is rich and chocolatey, with large amounts of bittersweet dark chocolate and a slight burnt finish. A fine stout, and one I'll gladly revisit.

A dark ruby black pour. It's only got some light shades when held to a light. The head is two fingers of light brown creamy foam. You can see how creamy the beer is just from the pour. The head dissipates leisurely leaving a creamy lace.
All malt with a splash of vanilla. Caramel and chocolate come forward as the beer warms. Nothing in the way of hops presents itself.
Very malty and heavy, but not overbearing, on the chocolate, bittersweet variety. Still no hop presence, but the chocolate does it's part for balance. Vanilla is a bit player.
Extreme creaminess. Sweet early, the bitter. Heavy body. Wet sloppy finish. No carbonation anywhere.
It's a really nice stout. Fairly sweet for a stout, but never over the top or cloying. The bittersweet chocolate provides both the sweet and the bitter, for a surprising, easy to drink beer.

Huge aroma full of chocolate, vanilla, and charred wood. Chocolate is more subtle in the flavor, but it's there. More char, coffee, and a bite from the hops in a dry finish. Good flavor, great balance, more hops than most stouts.
This is one to find.

Pours a pitch black from a bottle into a duvel glass. I can see my own reflection. About an inch of dark brown head which turns to a small ring around the top of the brew. leaves a light lacing throughout entire glass.
Tons of chocolate smell with a raisin oder at the end, creamy mouthful, with vanilla and chocolate opening. Ends with a caramel sweetness mixed with a light bitterness to level it out.
Overall an excellent American stout that I will look forward to every year.

12 oz. bottle poured into a snifter
Pours a dark opaque brown bordering on black, with just a slight mohagany glow around the edges. One finger of dense, dark tan head leaves a nice collar and some sticky lacing. Smell is mostly light vanilla and chocolate with a faint toasty, charred-wood accent.
Enters the mouth on a full creamy note, but thins out some toward the end. Carbonation tickles the tongue a bit, and I'm finding it just a wee bit too bubbly for my taste. The flavors are subtle but good. Not as much chocolate as I expected/hoped for. Still, it's a nice balance of milk chocolate, creamy vanilla, toffee, molasses, black coffee, and hop bitterness.
Not a bad stout at all, but a little light in the body and heavy in the carbonation for me to consider it excellent. When I'm in the mood for a "lighter" stout, this is certainly a viable option.

3.76/5 rDev +1.1%
Pours a dark black with a two inch light brown bubbly head. Plenty of lacing on the glass. Smells of big dark chocolate malts, roasted malts and some espresso. It tastes of dark chocolate but there is something there that's a bit off-putting. Medium body, creamy and roasty. Smooth all the way through, not really bitter or sticky. Overall, it's an alright brew but was hoping for more.

3.46/5 rDev -7%
This bottle was an absolute gusher. It had been refrigerated for a couple weeks and poured slowly, so agitation was not an issue. It took about 5 minutes to be able to pour the entire 12oz bottle into a Half Acre tulip glass. Once the head subsided, it was fluffy and persistent. Dark brown body.
Smells of root beer, cocoa, and slightly vegetal.
Not much going on in the flavor aside from the root beer and a faint hint of cocoa.
Mouthfeel is very thin for the style and overcarbonated. It's prickly to the point of being annoying.
I wasn't very impressed with this stout. Scents and flavors are muted and it's too thin with too much carbonation.

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Home > Travel Blog > Hostels >
We try to keep self-serving plugs to a minimum (seriously folks), but every rule has its exception. After about a year of preparation and development, today we're announcing the relaunch of our sister site, EuropeanHostels.com. The website is entirely focused on making it easier for budget travelers to find the best hostels in Europe.
What makes it "new," you might ask?
Well, for its original launch in 1999, Tom hand-coded it (ouch, that was painful) and it sort of lingered around for a few years as a hostel directory. Last year we decided to redevelop it into a hostel booking site that is simple to use, yet includes snazzy new features that aren't typically found on hostel sites. Unsurprisingly, it took us much longer to launch than we originally planned, but we think it was worth the wait.
Here are a few of the new features that we hope will be helpful to travelers:
Cool hostel search engine: We put together a top-secret algorithm to showcase what we think are the best hostels. This algorithm factors in lowest price, central location, user rating, and other factors. Ok, the secret is out, but whatev.
Site membership and itinerary manager: When travelers become members of EuropeanHostels, we save their reservations so they can log in from the road and not worry about losing confirmation printouts.
"Editor's Picks" and user reviews: We've done a lot of research to decide which hostels should be our "picks." Users may also review and rate any of the 15,000 properties on the site.
Smart maps: We love maps and have put them all over the site, even color-coordinating the map tickers based on hostel price. (Fancy, eh?)
Hostel articles and city guides: Our editors have written helpful city guides for 38 European cities. Guides cover budget transportation, neighborhood information, free activities and festivals, plus city-related links.
If you have a minute to visit EuropeanHostels.com and see why we're so excited, please do. And please let us know what you think in the comments below.
Congrats on the re-launch!
Well done on the relaunch of Europeanhostels.com — the focus seems to be solely on youth hostels, though. Is there any way to modify the search engine so that one can find hostels that are amenable for older travelers/trekkers? Thanks.

PAINTING a giant rhinoceros is not the usual project for ex-Orange artist Kyle Pearson but he said it sure was a lot of fun.
He was selected to paint a rhinoceros calf as part of Taronga Western Plains Zoo's Wild Rhinos initiative to raise awareness and funds for Taronga's rhino breeding program.
"I based it on street art and bold colours and an organic flowing design," he said.
"They almost look like ribbons but when you put them together it looks like raw muscle.
"It was quite a big learning curve."
Mr Pearson was among 85 individuals and schools selected to decorate a life-size rhino calf.
More than 50 schools participated in the project including Anson Street School.
Each named their rhino calf and provided details of their creation.
A rhino calf will be installed at a popular spot in Orange with details to be unveiled of its precise location today.
The rhino trail will feature 125 wildly coloured rhinos and calves to be places in regional areas across the state before being returned to their 'home' schools for permanent display.
The calf from Anson Street School will be on show at Centro Lennox at Emu Plains in western Sydney while Mr Pearson's rhino will be on display at Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
Mr Pearson is studying his master of arts practice in visual arts through Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga.

Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (小倉百人一首?) is a classical Japanese anthology of one hundred Japanese waka by one hundred poets. Hyakunin isshu can be translated to "one hundred people, one poem [each]"; it can also refer to the card game of uta-garuta, which uses a deck composed of cards based on the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.
It was compiled by Fujiwara no Teika while he lived in the Ogura district of Kyoto, Japan.[1]
One of Teika's diaries, the Meigetsuki, says that his son, Fujiwara no Tame'ie, asked him to arrange one hundred poems for Tame'ie's father-in-law, who was furnishing a residence near Mount Ogura;[2] hence the full name of "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu". In order to decorate screens of the residence, Fujiwara no Teika produced the calligraphy poem sheets.[3]
Hishikawa Moronobu provided woodblock portraits for each of the poets included in the anthology.[4]
In his own lifetime, Teika was better known for other work. For example, in 1200 (Shōji 2), Teika prepared another anthology of one hundred poems for ex-Emperor Go-Toba. This was called the Shōji Hyakushu.[5]
List of Ogura Hyakunin Isshu Poets
Poem number 2[6]
One of the poems attributed to Empress Jitō was selected by Fujiwara no Teika. The text is visually descriptive. From the Shinkokinshū, but the original poem was from the Man'yōshū.

Poem number 26[7]
A quite different poem is attributed to Sadaijin Fujiwara no Tadahira in the context of a very specific incident. After abdicating, former Emperor Uda visited Mount Ogura in Yamashiro province. He was so greatly impressed by the beauty of autumn colours of the maples that he ordered Fujiwara no Tadahira to encourage Uda's son and heir, Emperor Daigo, to visit the same area. Prince Tenshin or Prince Teishin (貞信公 Teishin Kō?) was Tadahira's posthumous name, and this is the name commonly associated with a poem which observes that "[t]he maples of Mount Ogura, If they could understand, Would keep their brilliant leaves, until [t]he Ruler of this land Pass with his Royal band."[8] The accompanying 18th century illustration shows a person of consequence riding an ox in a procession with attendants on foot. The group is passing through an area of maples.[9] Fujiwara no Teika chose this poem from the Shūi Wakashū for the Hyakunin Isshu.
'*'By modern Romanization, "Miyuki matanamu"; pronounced matanan by use of historical kana orthography.
Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, Arashiyama[edit]
In November 2003, the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry founded the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu Cultural Foundation to promote this work of literature and poetic appreciation.[10]
In January 2006, The Ogura Hyakunin Isshu Hall of Fame Shigure-den was completed in Arashiyama.[10] This museum introduces visitors to Hyakunin Isshu using the latest digital technology.[11]
During the following years, 100 monuments inscribed with the 100 poems from the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu are planned for installation in the nearby vicinity.[10]
English translations[edit]
The Ogura Hyakunin Isshu has been translated into many languages and into English many times, beginning with Yone Noguchi's Hyaku Nin Isshu in English in 1907.[12] Other translations include William N. Porter, A Hundred Verses from Old Japan (1909); Clay MacCauley, Hyakunin-isshu (Single Songs of a Hundred Poets) (1917); Tom Galt, The Little Treasury of One Hundred People, One Poem Each (1982); Joshua S. Mostow, Pictures of the Heart: The Hyakunin Isshu in Word and Image (1996); Peter McMillan, One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each (2008); and Emiko Miyashita and Michael Dylan Welch, 100 Poets: Passions of the Imperial Court (2008).
Other Hyakunin Isshu anthologies[edit]
Many other anthologies compiled along the same criteria—one hundred poems by one hundred poets—include the words hyakunin isshu, notably the World War II-era Aikoku Hyakunin Isshu (愛国百人一首?), or One Hundred Patriotic Poems by One Hundred Poets. Also important is Kyōka Hyakunin Isshu (狂歌百人一首?), a series of parodies of the original Ogura collection.
Card game[edit]
Teika's anthology is the basis for the card game of karuta, which has been popular since the Edo period.[13]
Many forms of playing game with Hyakunin Isshu exist in Japan.

With Test For Echo, Rush continued to pursue a heavier direction with their music. Alex Lifeson's guitar tone was a little rougher this time around and the songs are more centered around his riffs as the keyboards are kept to a minimum. While the songs overall aren't as strong as on Counterparts and there isn't an instant classic here, most of the tracks are very solid and as usual the band continue to impress musically.
As stated earlier, many of the tracks here are centered around Lifeson's guitar riffs with the best of those being "Time And Motion", "Virtuality", and the excellent "Driven" in which Geddy Lee doubles the riff with his bass. Another great track here and one that often gets overlooked is the melodic "Totem" which features a strong background vocal hook behind Neil Peart's lyrics. While Peart's drumming is strong throughout, particularly on the title track, it's his lyrics which shine on this release, especially on "Half The World" and "Dog Years." Geddy Lee's bass playing is a little busier than usual and his lead vocals on "Dog Years" and the ballad "Resist" are among his best. The instrumental "Limbo" and the title track are both very good with the latter bouncing equally between heavy and subdued. The remaining tracks "The Color of Right" and "Carve Away The Stone" are decent as well. Overall, not among their best work but still very good.

Merry-man "companion or follower of a knight, outlaw, etc." is attested from late 14c. The first record of merry-go-round is from 1729. Merry-bout "an incident of sexual intercourse" was low slang from 1780. Merry-begot "illegitimate" (adj.), "bastard" (n.) is from 1785. Merrie England (now frequently satirical or ironic) is 14c. meri ingland, originally in a broader sense of "bountiful, prosperous." Merry Monday was 16c. term for "the Monday before Shrove Tuesday" (Mardi Gras).

The lengthy options continue on the entrée list, as, unfortunately, does the kitchen's habit of slathering on its sweet, thick sauce, which overwhelms too many of the choices. Still, over the course of two pages you have a tour of different Latin American styles, from the very good, Mexican-style chiles rellenos, which are fat, green peppers lavishly stuffed with cheese and fried, to the tender and substantial Cuban-style ropa vieja and the slow-roasted pork. The steaks are nothing special, and just too expensive, while the seafood is generally a good option, especially the combination plate of Chilean sea bass, a chunk of soft shell crab and a skewer of grilled shrimp, though this is also one of the more expensive dishes. The long menu has some interesting dishes I haven't seen elsewhere, and this makes some of the most interesting eating. For instance, there's the moqueca, a traditional Brazilian seafood stew with a body like a mild, creamy curry, served either over rice or with bread for dipping.
The sweets follow the usual Latin American script, with flan, seared bananas and such. The very moist, dense tres leches cake is the best bet.
Mojitos are the big-deal drink here, and they're good, though pricey. The wine list is decent, and heavily weighted toward South American bottles, as you'd expect. There are frequently drink specials, which make the place a better deal.
Dishes are all over the map, and so are prices. Some entrees are under $20, but others are over $30.
The mix-and-match pan-Latin style of Mayas concept is interesting, and meals here can be very satisfying, though the inconsistency of the kitchen makes me wish the place focused its energies a little more. Order the more expensive entrees and the final price of a meal here hardly seems worth it, though stay in more moderate territory and the place can seem like a good, offbeat mid-range restaurant. Mayas is recommended if you're in the area and it's convenient, though this isn't necessarily a restaurant you need to cross town to try.

Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration Launches Parental Involvement Campaign
YOU Hold the Keys
GLEN BURNIE, MD (August 9, 2010) -- During the month of August, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration is launching a new parental involvement campaign entitled "You Hold the Keys." Brochures and information will be handed out at the MVA Branch Offices as well as through driver education schools. The "You Hold the Keys" brochure is also available online at: http://www.mva.maryland.gov/Resources/Parent-Involvement-Brochure.pdf
Vehicle crashes kill more teens in Maryland than drugs, guns or any disease. The MVA reports that 16 and 17 year old drivers, who are only 1.6 percent of all licensed drivers, represent 11 percent of all driver fatalities. Maryland has recognized the need for more experience on the road and maturity on the part of teens.
"The Maryland Automated Reporting System, used by the State Police when they are called to the scene of a crash, reveals that someone dies as a result of a young driver-involved crash every three days in Maryland," said Maryland Motor Vehicle Administrator John Kuo. "Not paying attention, driving too fast, failing to yield the right of way and tailgating are the most common factors cited in police reports on young driver crashes."
Parents and guardians need to get involved and stay involved to keep them safe. The more time they invest in their young driver's education, the better driver the teen will be. Below is some information about this campaign and some helpful tips parents and guardians can use.
- Monitor independent driving. Help your teen gain experience behind the wheel while also enforcing the rules and restrictions required for driving. Then as your teen begins demonstrating responsible driving, gradually allow additional driving privileges.
- Require seat belt use. Insist on seat belts at all times. Remind your teen that regular seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect them and their passengers and the best possible defense to reduce motor vehicle crash fatalities. It's also Maryland law!
- Restrict Passengers. Teen passengers in a vehicle can easily distract a teen driver and/or lead to greater risk taking. The best policy is to restrict teen passengers, especially multiple teens, all the time.
- Warn against speeding. Remind your teen that the risk of being involved in a fatal crash increases incrementally with each mile per hour over the speed limit traveled.
- Limit nighttime driving. Driving at night is a high-risk activity for teen drivers, with most fatal crashes occurring from 9 p.m. to midnight. If possible, teens should not drive later than 9 p.m.
- Prohibit cell phone use while driving. Require your teen to stop at a safe place off of the road, to make or receive a call, e-mail or text message.
- Prohibit drinking and driving. Make it clear that it's illegal to drink under the age of 21 and it's extremely dangerous to drive after drinking alcohol or using any other drug.
"Research has shown that teens often perceive risks and distractions as less dangerous than they really are," said Elizabeth A. Baker, Ph.D., NHTSA Region 3 Regional Administrator. "During the teen years, the brain is still growing and changing in the areas that require concentration for complex tasks like driving. The area of the brain that weighs consequences, suppresses impulses and organizes thoughts -- all which are required for driving -- do not fully mature until the person is well into his/her 20's."
The MVA reminds parents and guardians that it is up to them to provide plenty of safe practice driving and to continue to monitor their young drivers even after they begin driving independently. Lead by example; teach your teen how to drive courteously and responsibly. And remember: you hold the key to your teen's driving. Get involved. Stay involved. Keep them safe!

Wikipedia and Panoramio Now in API
Google Maps developers can now add Wikipedia and Panoramio layers to their Google Maps mash-ups. Both of the layers display icons on top of a Google Map which when opened either open a Wikipedia article or a photo from Panoramio. If you have used Google Maps recently you will have seen this in action under the 'more' button.
You can add either layer to a map with Layer object which you can read more about in the documentation.
As an example of both layers in action I have added the Wikipedia and Panoramio layers to this Video Map of the World.

I'm new to theme design, and want to create what I think is missing.
A theme with the default Nokia look for N8, but with completly black background and dark colors.
But do I create a theme that don't change the default icons and look?
In Carbide.ui I get a set of icons that don't look like the default at all.
How do I preserve the original icons and element design (can the default theme be downloaded).
I see lots of themes on Ovi Store that uses the original icons and just change colors etc.
So I assume there is a way to do this.

Gov. Jay Inslee signed a supplemental budget into law Friday that boosts state spending by about $155 million over the next 15 months including $58 million more for local school district costs for supplies and materials.
But the governor did some touch-up work on the strongly bipartisan budget – vetoing a cut in emergency funds that were deemed extra last month, but which are suddenly in demand for the Snohomish County mudslide response.
In a clear disagreement with Senate budget writers, Inslee also vetoed a $20 million cut in funding for the Life Sciences Discovery Fund. The move drew criticism from both sides of the aisle.
"We concluded that there is just too good of an option here for us to let this just end prematurely," Inslee said of the life sciences funding, which pays for research that can be commercialized in a highly competitive industry. "We thought that this is … an industry that has such great growth potential – both for our health and for job creation – it just would be a mistake to let the really productive things end right now."
But Republican Sen. John Braun of Chehalis and Democratic Sen. Jim Hargrove of Hoquiam said the veto undid their effort to preserve funds for K-12 schools in the next budget cycle. Braun described the veto as a "surprise," noting that no current projects would have been de-funded, and both lawmakers said the veto makes next year's budgeting slightly harder.
"This was a true supplemental budget that continued with a four-year balance and set the stage for what we all know is going to be a difficult budget next year. By punching a $20 million hole in the budget, we have a bigger problem next year,'' Braun said.
The budget – also known as Senate Bill 6002 – also contained $25.4 million for the Opportunity Scholarship program, which is using $30 million in private money from Boeing and Microsoft for scholarships helping students from low and middle-income families into science, technology, engineering and math degree programs. Other details of the budget – including cash for a study of oil-by-rail shipping hazards – are here.
The state's cluster of biotech companies had flooded the governor's office with letters urging the veto cutting the life sciences grants program begun under former governor Chris Gregoire. The Biotechnology Industry Organization representing 1,100 firms and research institutions globally warned the cuts "would severely compromise the commercialization efforts of Washington state's research institutions and small life science businesses."
Inslee's aides said it wasn't any one story in the more than two dozen letters that proved persuasive in winning the veto– although budget director David Schumacher said the sheer volume of letters carried weight. Inslee said he didn't make up his mind until a few days ago, and the Legislature's failure to extend a research-and-development tax credit for technology firms was a factor in this thinking.
In fact, two high-tech tax breaks – one for research-and development and one for construction of data farms in Eastern Washington – are expected to expire next year. Both were victims of a disagreement between the Democrats in the House, who wanted to close tax exemptions to raise revenue for schools, and Republicans in the Senate, who wanted to create new tax breaks while protecting those on the books.
"So the Legislature kind of went 0 for 2 this year in helping the biotech industries thrive in this state,'' Inslee said. "We thought that was not acceptable."
The governor said it is worth looking next year at whether there is a way either to continue the science research fund beyond its sunset – when the state's extra payments for its role in the tobacco settlement lapse – or get other support for the biotech and high-tech sectors.
Money for the life sciences fund always had a limited life, according to Braun. He said the money came from extra payments the state won for its role in securing the national tobacco settlement in 1998, and he described the budget cut as an early sunset. He also said Inslee never identified the life-sciences money as a must-have priority during budget talks.
"We don't have a paramount duty to fund the Life Sciences Discovery Fund; we do have a paramount duty to fund education, and we need to stick to priorities," Braun said.
By signing the budget, Inslee closed the main chapters on financing state government during 2013-15. And he threw open the door to public debate about the next biennial budget – which legislators return to Olympia to start writing in January during a 105-day regular session.
Already, it is clear that much of the debate next year will resemble talk during the past two years – with Inslee and Democrats looking for new revenue to help respond to the Supreme Court's orders to improve K-12 school funding, while Republicans insist upon putting existing dollars towards basic education first to see what other programs are left high and dry and in need of new revenues.
Inslee said the state will need to put at least $1.5 billion more into K-12 schools next biennium in accordance with the court's ruling in the case known as McCleary. He also is on record as wanting to address pay issues for teachers and state employees who will have gone six years without cost-of-living pay adjustments, and there are also increased costs for worker pensions, healthcare and state debt service to factor into the equation – a large list of spending that is sure to outstrip the $2.4 billion in expected revenue growth for the next biennium.
"Clearly we'll be talking to legislators as soon as possible in hopes we can find a solution to this. It's going to take some very, very difficult work,'' Inslee said.
But Inslee insisted the Senate Majority Coalition's approach won't work – if it means a reduction in the state safety net instead of raising taxes.
"The one thing we know about next year's budget is we have a very large hole to fill for our children, and we are not going to fill that hole by decreasing the safety net that we wrap around our children – the housing programs, the nutrition programs, or health care programs," Inslee said.
The Senate Majority Coalition Caucus can be counted on to look at the issue quite differently – as it did in opposing Inslee's revenue proposals last year and again this year.
Braun flatly disputed Inslee's claims, which reflect a legislative task force's findings, about how much the state must put into K-12 school next year. Braun said he believes the real need for the McCleary decision is closer to $750 million in new money. He also said public-employee compensation is a less pressing priority and that wage growth has been at least as slow in the private sector as in the public.
"You have two different approaches to the problem, so you are going to have some differences of opinion. We are not looking for conflict, but we're looking for solutions that stick with our principles …" Braun said. "But we feel we set the stage for success (with the supplemental budget). I think if the governor comes with the tired approach of 'we're going to close loopholes' and do this without a truly cooperative process we're probably going to have difficulty."
Braun said the Senate majority is not talking about cutting the safety net but about containing its size until schools are paid for. He indicated that a so-called levy swap – whereby the state raises its share of the property tax in order to replace some local levy funding for K-12 schools – is one of the ideas that will be debated, but he also noted there is opposition to it.
Braun also made clear his caucus isn't interested in looking for new revenues. But if Inslee joined in a search for ways to cap spending in programs outside education, he said, "that is something we are very interested in."

Burton Vent Glove - Kids'View Larger Image
The Burton Vent Glove fends off moisture, and provides custom warmth.
Whether your kid's hands overheat or get cold easily, the Burton Kids' Vent Glove keeps small fingers comfortable on the hill. Thermacore insulation keeps them warm, while a heater-vent pocket adds extra warmth, or ventilates your grom's paws. Burton DRYRIDE Ultrashell coated fabric and a DRYRIDE Insane Membrane ensure water-resistance, and a brushed microfiber lining helps wick moisture so your kid's hands don't get sweaty and cold. A Toughgrip palm helps him stick that grab, and a cinch-down gauntlet keep snow out when he or she takes a digger in some pow.

ELIZABETHTOWN — In a surprise action Monday, Essex County Manager Daniel Palmer and his wife, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Deborah Palmer, both announced their retirements effective at the end of the year.
Mr. Palmer has been county manager since August 2008, and his wife was appointed board clerk in September 1996.
County officials were informed of the decisions on Monday morning.
Mr. Palmer and his staff had recently devised a three-year plan to restore Essex County to solvency. The plan, which would have had 26, 16 and 3 percent tax hikes for the next three years before stabilizing, was apparently rejected by the County Board of Supervisors at a budget workshop last Thursday in favor of a combination of cuts, reductions and greater use of the county's fund balance to get to a 2.6 tax-levy increase in the proposed 2013 budget.
"I promised myself when I took this job if I felt it was turning into an adversarial relationship between myself and the board I would not remain in the position," Mr. Palmer said Monday. "There's no value in doing that. I feel like I should have some positive impact. I value my integrity."
Before he was named county manager, Mr. Palmer was county personnel officer, and before that he served as Minerva town supervisor.
The retirements are effective Jan. 1, 2013.
Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas (D-Jay) said it was with deep sadness that he learned of the Palmers' retirements.
"They have been truly dedicated public servants for many, many years. They both will be dearly missed."
He said he spoke with Mr. Palmer on Monday, as well as Supervisor Roby Politi (R-North Elba), the vice chair of the board, about ensuring a smooth transition.
"We'll weigh all our options. The plan of action at this point is to not make any quick decisions as we decide how best to deal with these vacancies.
