PEORIA, IL. -- Sunday, October 20 hundreds of runners and walkers will hit the streets of Peoria and East Peoria for the inaugural Komen Promise Run and Relay half marathon.
IDOT, Peoria and East Peoria Police are setting up barricades along the course, and even shutting down some roads completely.
The Promise Run and Relay is a 13 point 1 mile race.
The Promise Run & Relay will start at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday on Wm. Kumpf Blvd. near the Peoria Civic Center, cross the Illinois River over the Robert Michel Bridge, tour the new Downtown East Peoria Levee District, return to Peoria over the Michel Bridge, continue through downtown Peoria, up Main Street, past the Bradley University Campus to Laura Bradley Park, turnaround near halfway point at Shea Stadium across from Susan G. Komen Memorial Site at Parkview Cemetery, return back to Main Street, downhill to Monroe to Glen Oak Park (along the original Steamboat Classic Course) and back to the Civic Center, finishing on Jefferson, followed by a Post-Race Breakfast Party.
The Bob Michael Bridge will be completely shut down at the beginning of the race. It will be opened as soon as the runners have cleared East Peoria around 7:45 a.m. All other bridges into the city will be open.
The intersections along the course will be controlled by a combination of police officers and race volunteers. The traffic signals along the course will be placed on flash and they will be controlled by a uniformed officer directing traffic. Farmington Road traffic will be allowed to go up the hill toward Main Street but no traffic will be allowed down the hill from Main Street to Park. Traffic on Main Street will be limited to east bound only during the race will possible closures at times.
In East Peoria, the off ramps in both directions of the I-74 flyover will be shut down for a short duration to prevent vehicles from entering the race course. There will be sign boards placed on I-74 by IDOT to assist with notification to drivers of the closure. The closure will be from 6:45 a.m. till approximately 8:00 a.m. East Peoria Police Officers will be assigned to areas of the closures to control the area and assure that drivers do not bypass the barricades.
Most streets along the course will be open to traffic with a portion of the roadway dedicated to the runners, and the intersections will be controlled by police.
The important message here is for motorists to expect delays and be aware of the runners.
And spectators are welcomed and encouraged to cheer on runners from the sidelines and the finnish line.
You can find the course map on this page or by visiting www.komenmemorial.org

CATEGORIES Awards, Lists, Oscar Watch, Oscars, Awards, CinematicalI was very sad to find out that Ungawa, the Capuchin monkey I had hired from trainer-turned-bunk junking director Soso Whaley for a CD cover photo shoot, had died. Ungawa had picked the Oscars for me a couple of years ago, and while he went 0 for 6 (being far more interested in the popcorn I baited the photos with), it was a whole lot of fun to host him, and the kids that showed up were delighted by his delightful simian antics, none of which involved flinging poo.
This year, I was disappointed to find that my second choice to pick this year's Oscars - Antony, the world-renowned anteater that Whaley also trained - had recently died of old age. He had appeared in a number of television shows and films, including Baby It's Cold Outside.
A striped-knee tarantula named Klaus stepped up this year. While he was not as entertaining as a monkey (and what is?) or as goofy-looking as an anteater, he was a consummate professional, and his predictions were not entirely without rhyme or reason (if you can ignore the fact that he was not so much choosing as he was running away from us):
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Amy Adams, Junebug
I agree with my arachnid prognosticator on this one. Adams was glorious in a complex role as a simple girl in this otherwise ignored treat. He said that she can have him in her web any day.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain
Having eight legs allows Klaus to get behind the populist favorite that much quicker, though he said it would be cool to see Paul Giamatti win for Cinderella Man if he could accept his trophy as Pig Vomit from Private Parts.
BEST ACTRESS: Reese Witherspoon, Walk The Line
Eight legs also means that Klaus can clap four times louder when his prediction comes true. Of course, he didn't see Transamerica, and I suggest that if studio Weinstein had more of a budget for a wider theatrical release, then more voters would have been able to sing Felicity Huffman's praises and give this one the recognition it deserves.
BEST ACTOR: Heath Ledger, Brokeback Mountain
Klaus just can't quit the Aussie star's impressive turn in Ang Lee's solid but overly-lauded 'boy-on-'boy drama, but it may have had something to do with the dead fly I had placed on the actor's photo.
BEST DIRECTOR: Bennett Miller, Capote
Klaus is boycotting Ang Lee because he directed Hulk, and he is a Spider-Man fan, for obvious reasons. And, he adds, Hulk sucked. Miller was simply next on the list.
BEST PICTURE: Munich
Maybe Klaus knows something we don't, but since he's not defanged, I wasn't about to argue with him.
[A special thanks to Soso and Third Man Media for indulging us in our silliness.]

HAMMOND, La. (AP) - Hammond has marked its fourth fatal shooting of the year.
Police Chief Roddy Devall tells the Hammond Star that witnesses alerted police to a shooting early Friday.
He says officers found the body of Jerrell Bird at a vacated property along Washington Avenue. Bird was from Hammond, but his age was not immediately available.
Devall says Bird's body was sent to the Tangipahoa Parish coroner for an autopsy.
The chief says police made no arrest Friday but were questioning several people. Devall did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Saturday.

Jason Bay has had one of the more star-crossed tenures of any MLB player since signing his massive free agent deal with the New York Mets in 2010. That bad luck has continued in 2012, and Bay is now headed to the disabled list with a concussion.
Bay's concussion is not his first. A concussion in July 2010 forced him to miss the final two months of the regular season. It is also just the latest malady for a player who has been injured more often than not as a Met — he missed six weeks in 2012 with a fractured rib — frustrating the team and its fans alike.
Mets manager Terry Collins cautioned that Bay might be out longer than the week he has to be.
"I'm very worried because Jason's first one was pretty severe, and he hit that wall pretty hard yesterday," Collins said.

Get a New Royalty Free Music Track Every Day for the Month of July
Looking to add some new music to your filmmaking arsenal? Neumann Films is giving away a free music or sound element track every day for the month of July. All of the tracks being released in the Daily Freebie project are "100% Royalty Free and ready to use in any commercial/non commercial work as long as credit is given as follows (Luke Neumann – "Track Name Here")." Here are a couple of samples of the music that has been released thus far:
In addition to this daily orchestral goodness, Neumann also has made available 5 different versions of his Painted Hills track, also for free with attribution. And if you're looking for more music and sound elements check out The Trailer Toolbag which "features over 275 songs, rises, intros, drum hits, climaxes, sound design elements, and much more," all for a mere $40.
Link: Neumann Films – Daily Freebie
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Great deal. Good music too. Royalty free is so important to us bootstrappers. Thanks, Luke!
Don't mention it! Glad you liked the music. :)
Thanks so much for the link!! I have been worrying about having to spend a lot of money on music that I could use freely, and this article couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks a million!
Justin Minich on 07.11.12 @ 2:43AM
Your welcome! :-)
Just call him Luke Zimmer.
Really appreciate the link. Came at a very appropriate time. I am just a newbe at making short movies and it gets pretty expensive when you start buying music.
Thank you so much.
Jorge on 07.12.12 @ 4:35PM
Get the music for free, and make sure you give away your finished videos for totally free, too. It's the new method to beat greedy Hollywood at its own money-grabbing game! Cool.
john jeffreys on 07.12.12 @ 4:38PM
Meh. Any serious filmmaker would know that the best way to get music for your films is to have lots of friends that are musicians. For example, I help one band with their music video or photos, and they help me by scoring my short.
This made me laugh. Is that how all commercial work is done? Is that how every single trailer and ad you see is done? Mmmmmno. Any "serious" filmmaker knows there is a very larger market for this.
john jeffreys on 07.15.12 @ 2:55AM
i dont do commercial work. nor ads. i do trailers though, in the manner of which i described. im probably a more serious filmmaker than you are, you commercialist douche.
Nice 'tude. I can see why you don't do commercial work. Part of being a "serious" filmmakers is being able to work well with others and you seem to be missing this key component. Might want to work on that.
john jeffreys on 07.19.12 @ 9:30PM
who says "tude" lol. I dont do commercial work because I dont want to do it. So dont try to be all elitist. I make what I want and people love me for it so you can pull your pants up bro because we can all see your hater panties.
"people love me for it" = LOL
So I'm downloading some music and then realize are these all free??? Don't know I just stopped downloading and noticed the songs when saved to my computer don't say"Freebie # ?
Now what if I use the music can I prove I was given it for free?
Yes sir! The info you need is on my soundcloud page (if anyone comes asking).
Thanks so much! Great tracks.
Vanlazarus on 07.13.12 @ 2:15AM
Yes, great tracks. Just bought your Trailer pack as well…. We're working on a few trailers right now and it looks like you've got exactly what we need. Thanks.
Nice! Would love to see what you end up doing with the music.
Marc on 07.15.12 @ 2:08AM
Now this is how filmmakers help each other. Free high quality music?! Luke is awesome! I've downloaded all the free tracks so far, bought the trailer toolbag (well worth the $40), and have been recommending his site to everyone! I've already put some of his music in my upcoming short film, and am more excited than ever for the release! Thanks Luke, and NoFilmSchool!
RevinFilms on 07.17.12 @ 4:51PM
This music is great ! And its royalty free too. Cool :)
Sweet! Thank you Luke :) My main composers have been too busy lately so this will come in handy at times where I need something there. Great sounding stuff too!
Sanveer on 07.19.12 @ 8:46PM
Hi Luke. We are an Indie Film group, from India, who are starting with shorts, and would move to features, soon (hopefully).
We'd love to use your music for the shorts. Its interesting, and extremely varied.
Thanks for the gr8 tracks
Warm regards
Abhiraj on 08.2.12 @ 5:53AM
You are the man! Loved the music :D

The Jacksonville Jaguars have not been competitive in many games this year, but the team was able to get a 24-19 home win on Sunday over the Tennessee Titans, giving the Jaguars their second win of the season while also snapping a prolonged seven-game losing streak.
While the Jaguars are not headed to the playoffs this year, Adam Stites of SB Nation's Jacksonville Jaguars blog, Big Cat Country, is just glad to see a win that displays competence in several aspects of the game.
Although the win isn't going to propel the Jaguars into contention for anything, the team showed competence in several aspects of the game and it's always nice to dish a crushing blow to the Titans.
That may include the quarterback position where Chad Henne, not Blaine Gabbert, threw for more than 260 yards and two touchdowns, but also tossed an interception.
Now 2-9 on the season, the Jaguars will hit the road and travel up north to Buffalo and prepare for their meeting against the 4-7 Buffalo Bills, who are coming off of a loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Tribal vest.
Best Uses
Comments about Maurices Lightweight tribal print plus size vest:
I dress up tanks and jeans on hot days with this pull over. It makes them look a little more dresses up and the pattern is different, almost safari like. I like the product over all and ware it quite frequently. I wish the fabric was a little more wrinkle resistant, but over all a good product and comfortable to ware.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Either Mario Balotelli's allergic reactions are the most bizarre in human history, or the Italian striker is sitting down with a pink beach ball nestled in his lap and happily - nay, joyously - snuggling the thing. Yes, that is the most exciting thing that's happened in the match so far. Both sides have defended well and held possession like it was super-anthrax, which has made for a massively dull opening. There've been chances to play attackers in behind both defences, but there've been too many over-hit passes and offsides. The linesman's flag has just caught out Shaun Wright-Phillips, whose beautiful takedown of an arcing path probably deserved better than a whistle. Then again, maybe he shouldn't be offside.
Not even Carlos Tevez or David Silva are immune to the poor play, the pair contriving to turn a potentially scything one-two into a nice cushioned path towards Alex McCarthy. At the other end of the pitch, Noel Hunt heads well over. All a bit quiet.

Like many other African countries, Angola has been subject to bitter, regional conflict - among other things the vast number of internal wars strangled the rich, Panafrican musical epoch of the 1970s. A series of veterans are remedying this with Conjunto Angola 70.
Using a golden brown mix of African and Caribbean genres, these masters revive the golden age making you have inner visions of bellbottom pants.
The delirious guitar playing – not least by Teddy N'Singui who, according to many, is the most skilled six-string player in Angola – steps to the foreground when Conjunto Angola 70 takes you back in time on an ecstatic journey.

Other than our room steward the staff was mediocre and all in all compared to other cruises lack of service prevailed. Food in the Southern Lights Dining room was either over or under done in most cases and one meal resulted in sickness. Service was slow although the staff seemed to be working at top speed. Maybe too many guest per server? At breakfast the Eggs Benedict were cold and when I told the server why it was uneaten his reply was "guess we should throw the cook overboard".
Although this was our fourth cruise with Carnival it will be our last. While my husband and I are not demanding or picky we felt this cruise was a total miss and not enjoyable at all and certainly would not recommend this ship.

— Lester D. and Anna Lee Carter, Kokomo, celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with a surprise luncheon Sept. 9 at Main Street Christian Church fellowship hall in Russiaville.
Lester and the former Anna Lee Louthain were married Sept. 14, 1947, at the home of the bride's parents, Ellery and Evaleen (Kingery) Louthain, near Kokomo.
Lester served in the U.S. Army in Germany during World War II. He spent the majority of his life as a dairy farmer before moving to Florida in 1985, where he and Anna were custodians of Coral Springs Christian Church for nine years.
Anna Lee was a homemaker and grew produce for the family and raised 300 chickens annually. She and Lester retired to Murfreesboro, Tenn., before returning to the Kokomo area.
Their children, who hosted the luncheon, include Pam Carter, Nancy (Jack) Fivecoate, Susan Carter, Tom (Tracee) Carter and Andy (Vickie) Carter. They have six grandchildren, Marti (Kevin) Smith, Austin (Carrie) Fivecoate, Chris (Felicia) Carter, Jennifer Carter, Rachele Carter and Lynsie Carter, and four great-granddaughters, Bree and Bethany Smith and Addison Fivecoate and Carissa Carter.

La Crosse, WIS. (WXOW) ---------- The Badgers basketball team is up to 12 in the AP Poll and Aquinas alum Bronson Koenig is starting to make an impact.
The freshman played his most minutes to date in the teams win over Green Bay on Saturday.
Koenig played 31 minutes scored 7 points and dished out 2 assists.
"Bronson showed a lot of poise that is a good team we played in an environment that was pretty electric, he's got a lot of basketball skill, a lot of moxie, he just knows how to play and can get things done and he is learning how to be defense like we need him to so I thought he handled himself really well," said Wisconsin Head Coach Bo Ryan.

Previous Grounds
Sunderland moved into the light in 1997, following 99 years at Roker Park.
Blue House Field, Hendon
It was appropriate and probably inevitable that the Blue House Field ground was close to Hendon Board School where the club's founder, James Allan, taught.
Raich Carter, perhaps the finest Sunderland player ever to wear the red and white stripes, also attended the school as a child. Hendon Board School, however, is no more, having been replaced by the Valley Road Infant School, now Commercial Road. The present Blue House pub that replaced the original is now some 200 yards down the road.
The rent charged was £10 per annum, which at the time was a fairly steep sum for the Sunderland & District Teachers' Association.
In 1888, when Sunderland's founder broke from his beloved club to form the rival Sunderland Albion, he took his new favourites back to the Blue House Field and the club set up home there, playing Football League sides at Hendon until their demise in 1892. The HQ for Albion was in the nearby Norman Street.
The field, incidentally, was boarded in, a cycling track was laid and a grandstand surrounded both the East Side and the 'footpath side'. The field was nearly as long as Roker Park, although narrower, measuring 110 x 60 yards.
The Grove, Ashbrooke
By the time the club took up residency at Ashbrooke, 'Teachers' had been dropped from the name and it was now the familiar Sunderland Football Club.
The Grove, in Ashbrooke, stood between Percy Terrace and The Cedars.
It is generally accepted that the ground formed part of the current Ashbrooke Sports Ground, which hadn't at that stage been planned and didn't open until 1887 - long after the football club had departed.
Horatio Street, Roker
Sunderland moved over the River Wear to the north side of the city where they remain to this day.
Horatio Street was an open field with a clay-pit and brickworks at the north end. Also known as the 'Clay Dolly Field', only the south side of Horatio Street was fully built then and ran along the line of Givens Street. Appley Terrace now covers much of the old pitch.
There were no changing facilities and the players got kitted out at the Wolseley Hotel on the sea front at Roker, on the bottom corner of Gosforth Street.
This is probably the closest Sunderland Football Club ever got to Roker beach.
Abbs Field, Fulwell
Abbs Field was a significant move for Sunderland AFC. For the first time, the club was able to charge gate money and it was not unusual for attendances to top 1,000, with fans paying the sum of three pence.
It was at Abbs Field, on 20 December 1884, that Sunderland recorded their highest ever victory, against Castletown - 23-0 in the Durham Challenge Cup. The club's founder, James Allan, scored 11 times!
Newcastle Road
The move to Newcastle Road would have far-reaching consequences for Sunderland AFC. It would be the venue for their entry into the Football League, in 1890, mainly as a result of the 7-2 thrashing of Aston Villa by the 'Team Of All the Talents', on 5 April, 1890.
The ground stretched along Crozier Street to Eglington Street North. Netherburn Road and Newlington Court are now built over it.
A high wall surrounded much of the ground. It had a grandstand and Sunderland favoured attacking the top end, or Hood Street - facing the sun.
Sunderland's first ever Football League game was played at Newcastle Road and ended in a 2-3 defeat by Burnley on 13 September 1890. The stadium recorded the highest ever attendance at an English football ground in January 1891 when 21,000 spectators witnessed a first round FA Cup tie against Everton. People watched from the roof of the stand!
Perhaps the grounds most famous representation is in the Hemy painting of 1894-95, which portrays Sunderland in action against Aston Villa. The world's first painting of a football match now hangs in the main reception area of the Stadium of Light.
The last League match at Newcastle Road was on 23 April 1898, when the Black Cats routed Nottingham Forest, the English Cup holders, 4-0. James Chalmers scored the final goal.
From Newcastle Road, Sunderland AFC moved on to one of Britain's most famous sporting venues, Roker Park.
Roker Park
Roker Park was built within a year, the wooden stands within 3 months. The Clock Stand, as it would become known, had 32 steps, no seats and crush barriers for safety. The turf for the pitch was brought from Ireland and was of such quality that it lasted for 37 years. There was a slight drop of about one foot from the centre to each side for drainage purposes.
The Marquis of Londonderry officially opened the ground on 10 September 1898, the then President of Sunderland AFC turning a gold key in a locked gate that led onto the playing field. He also had a pub named after him: 'The Londonderry' in the city centre.
The opponents for the Black Cats that day were Liverpool. The game kicked off at 3.30pm, and a goal by James Leslie, who had been signed from Clyde, gave Sunderland a winning start at their new home. The winning strike came just six minutes from time.
In 1912, the Roker End was concreted and by 1913 the capacity rose to 50,000. Originally, the Roker and Fulwell Ends were known as 'North' and 'South', indeed a 1924 picture of Roker Park still refers to them as such.
In 1929, the old wooden grandstand was demolished and replaced by a new Main Stand. Archibald Leitch, whose influence can still be seen today at Ibrox, home of Rangers, designed the stand. His criss-cross latticework was also evident at Aston Villa's ground.
Whilst the official capacity of Roker Park was now 60,000, an incredible 75,118 were present to witness the FA Cup 6th round replay defeat by Derby County in March 1933.
Building work, however, continued at a relentless pace and in 1936 the Clock Stand was rebuilt. The 375ft-long structure was officially opened by Lady Raine, whose husband Sir Walter Raine was the Chairman, on 2 September, prior to a game against Derby County.
In 1950 the Main Stand was given its 'shelf' that was positioned in between the top seats and the paddock. By 1952 Roker Park had floodlights, opened in a friendly match against Dundee.
As the 1966 World Cup loomed, Sunderland AFC was chosen as a venue, ahead of St James' Park, and received substantial grants and loans from the Football Association to install permanent seats in the Clock Stand and temporary ones in the Fulwell End. The famous 'Kop' was also roofed and the Roker Park Suite was added.
The 1970s witnessed even more improvements to Roker Park with the floodlights upgraded to European standard lux value. A year later an underground sprinkler system was laid and in the late 70s, electronic crowd monitoring systems were put in place and roofs were re-sheeted.
The 1980s brought about a downturn in the club's fortunes and in truth we began to see a parallel demise with Roker Park. The capacity was reduced considerably, with the Roker End suffering the most.
By the 1990s it was evident that another home for Sunderland AFC was required. Roker Park, hemmed in on all sides, gave no room for expansion. With football now moving on at an incredible pace, both on and off the field, the club had to keep up.
Roker Park was knocked down in 1997 and is now a housing estate - to commemorate Roker Park, the streets were named Promotion Close, Clockstand Close, Goalmouth Close, Midfield Drive, Turnstile Mews and Roker Park Close.

I am looking to come to Nicaragua for a month+ in March. I plan to do a month of immersion spanish and am looking for a school that is close to a surf break. San Juan del Sur seems a likely candidate, except that I haven't been getting the best reports on the surf there. I have checked out the places in Costa Rica, but am really not that interested in going back to CR again and would rather check out somewhere new. Anyone have any ideas on places that might fit the bill?
There are a lot of Nicaraguans in Costa Rica. After talking to people (including some Nicaraguans) about this, I would like to share this information. It will help you understand the Nicaragua/Costa Rica dynamic.
Los Amantes de San Fernando, a documentary film tracing the lives of a Nicaraguan family in San Fernando, throughout 20 years of war and economic hardships. An intimate portrait of the lives of Ninoska and Tinoco, a young couple making a life together in the heart of Contra territory, Los Amantes de San Fernando captures the spirit of the struggle of every-day Nicaraguans and campesinos. As the following reviewer writes "a film about a seemingly trivial love story of two campesinos is able to condense the entire profound and painful transformation that Nicaragua has experienced
over the last 10 years."
Experienced Native Guides in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Come to Masaya in Nicaragua and come be with friends! Masaya is known as the center of Nicaraguan Arts and Crafts, the most popular of the markets is the Mercado Viejo located right in the center of town. Nearby Masaya are located is the Masaya Vocano National Park which has walking trails and a visitor center, combine your visit to the park with a tour of El Coyotepe, a fort built in the 1890's amd later a Somozan Prison. The old fort offers an incredible view of the volcanoes, lagoons and lakes of this region.
They tried to scare me with phrases such as: dysentery, scorpions, earthquakes, and guerrilla warfare. When I did not heed their pleas, they switched tactics. "You are a teacher. Go to Cancun with us this summer. Relax and have some fun," they begged. Their discouraging advice continuously clanked through my head like a slot machine birthing a jackpot.
But, I intuitively knew that I would not experience their kind of Nicaragua. My bags were filled with optimism, a fearless energy, and 500 pounds of school supplies for an impoverished pueblo on the outskirts of Granada.
I was told that if I were to reside in Nicaragua I would have to pay $75/mo. since I am a U.S. Citizen... is this true?
Where would I find a good link to learn all the legal info I would need to know to visit and later reside in Nicaragua?
Is it possible to have residency status in both Nicaragua and USA??
Is there only one U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua...located in Managua?
What is a good site to peruse up-to-date rural, cheap properties for rent/sale? (I really like Rivas... and would like to live on a small farm near the coast)
I have rambled a little about this before but I would like to get a little more specific. The Executive Summary is that if you think local and act local you will have a better experience.
A recent post on the Nicaragua Living mailing list mentioned the weather. That is, that it seemed like it was too hot in Nicaragua. This post is about that issue. Generic but, hopefully, useful.
I wasn't sure this article was on topic but I have had so many people ask me for the comparision--that is, people who are considering a move--that I decided to go for it. This is opinion based on two years in Costa Rica and just a few weeks in Nicaragua. Feel free to point out where I am wacko.
My husband and I woke up at 3 o'clock this morning and simultaneously made the decision to move to Nicaragua in June. I've been increasingly aware of coincidences that have occurred in leading us to Nica and we had been wrestling with the idea of moving for some time now. I think we reached the decision to move by just letting it go. Struggling with the pros and cons got to be too stressful. Sometimes you just gotta give up control and let yourself be pinned to the mat. I feel relieved that the decision has been made. The opportunities for a new life in Nica were knocking at the door and we've been given the key.
While I was in the shower (I do my best thinking in the shower) I realized that if we are a community then we should know a little about each other. So, here goes. Hopefully this will encourage everyone else to create their first Blog entry.
I am a baby-boomer that grew up in Los Angeles, California. I played with electronics as a kid and got my ham license in 1960. Technical stuff has always interested me and after graduating from college I went to work in the computer industry. I have done programming, systems analysis, designed hardware and just about everything else. In 1983 I started a company that specializes in technical documentation and training on UNIX systems. That grew into a company that publishes the magazine Linux Journal.
First, let me promise that my future blog entries will be about Nicaragua, not about geek/computer stuff. But, I needed to talk a little about what we are doing and I decided a blog entry was the most appropriate.
Notice that I said we. The geek side of me is just here to facilitate this place on the web. The only way it will work is if we all start contributing. This system, called Drupal, has some amazing capabilities that can help us all get information organized and available to others.
Before we get too far, if you are confused, click on FAQ in the upper right. That is where the site documentation lives. More is on the way.
No habrá manera de desarrollarnos y salir de la pobreza mientras los pocos negocios grandes de nuestro medio se entreguen a las economías foráneas y nosotros nos quedemos con solo negocios de pobre, mientras en vez de ser propietarios de nuestro propio país nos convirtamos en un ejército de empleados del exterior.
— José Figueres Ferrer, 1952

Coalition urges candidates to support free, healthy school lunch
A coalition of 69 community groups has rallied behind a "Lunch 4 Learning" campaign and is urging the next mayor to make sure all NYC public school students have access to free, nutritious lunches.
On Wednesday, the group led by Community Food Advocates sent a letter to all mayoral candidates arguing that the current school lunch program discourages students from participating because they don't want to be seen as poor.
"Currently, many students do not eat school lunch or breakfast because of the long-standing income-based stigma of participating in the program," the letter said. "Offering universal free and healthy school meals without identifying students by income is fundamental to eliminating stigma and increasing participation."
The signers included various education and food advocacy groups including the Brooklyn Food Coalition, DC37, and the United Federation of Teachers.
"Universal school meals will have a tremendous impact on childhood hunger, address public health concerns, and boost educational outcomes in New York City," said Liz Accles, Executive Director of Community Food Advocates. "In addition, it will make program administration more efficient and add jobs to the local economy."

DALLAS — In Big D Wednesday morning, the City Council discussed big dollars to be spent on promoting an insider who will manage the city.
In a new contract, the city agreed to pay Interim City Manager A.C. Gonzalez $400,000 a year to take the job on a permanent basis.
"I think it's too big a jump; I am very reluctant to support that," said District 12 Council member Sandy Greyson.
"A.C., I believe the amount we've given you is a small amount compared to what you'll bring to this City," said District 9 representative Sheffie Kadane.
In the end, only two of 14 Council members voted against the contract, and so they passed Dallas' highest base salary for a city manager — here or anywhere using the council-manager system of city government.
Here are city manager salaires in the other four largest U.S. cities using this system:
- Phoenix — $315,000, (per the Arizona Republic)
- San Antonio — $375,000 (per KENS-TV)
- San Jose, California — $250,000 (per San Jose Mercury News)
- Austin — $301,544 (per The Texas Tribune)
As interim city manager, Gonzalez made $250,000.
"That's a pretty large jump," said Dallas employment attorney Matt Scott.
He says the figure of $400,000 doesn't surprise him — except when compared to Dallas' last city manager, Mary Suhm. Her salary topped out at $305,000.
"That's about a 25 percent difference, and that seems a little off to me," Scott said, adding he believes Suhm was underpaid.
That belief is leading others to question whether Suhm was paid less because of gender bias.
"That's not an unusual reaction for someone to react and say, 'It's because she's a woman.' I can't say it is or it isn't," Scott said. "The only people that really know would be Mary and whether or not she thought she was fairly paid, and the other Council members."
But with Wednesday's vote, the focus is now on Gonzalez. This Council no doubt expects to get what they've paid for.

Here are some of the latest news and rumors pertaining to the UFC:
- UFCDaily.com is reporting a rumored match between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cheick Kongo. After the Jardine and Griffin upsets, I'm convinced we'll end up seeing Randy vs. Kongo for the heavyweight title.
- The Fight Network is reporting that the UFC is encouraging Dan Henderson to move to middleweight but Henderson wants to stay at 205 lbs. He has one fight left on his current deal and feels he could be ready to fight again in November. Dan, we all know you're a badass and cannot only hang with light heavyweights, but probably even heavyweights. But please, the UFC middleweight division desperately needs your talents! To me, a Hendo vs. Anderson Silva in a unification is actually a bigger money matchup then some of the matches the UFC is looking at in the light heavyweight division right now. The UFC may need to sign him to an extension in order to convince him to compete regularly at 185 lbs.
- MMAJunkie.com is on top of the whole Michael Bisping vs. Matt Hamill rematch situation. It looks like it was indeed talked about for UFC 78 in Newark but Hamill's knee injury won't allow it. However, Hamill said via his personal website that the injury is not so bad that he won't be ready for a rematch at UFC 79 on Dec. 29. I'm telling you, the best place for a Hamill vs. Bisping rematch is on free TV when you consider the reason why there's interest in a rematch to begin with.
- I saw on BloodyElbow.com that former UFC lightweight fighter Yves Edwards is now with American Top Team. I'd like to echo Luke Thomas' opinion that this is a great move for him.
"After the Jardine and Griffin upsets, that means we'll see Randy vs. Kongo for the heavyweight title."
I think the wording here might be off, you mean the winner of Nog-Kongo will face Couture right?
I think what is most important to note on top of the matchup is that if the winner of Nog-Kongo is to fight Couture for the belt it will not be on the UFC's super bowl weekend card. It would seem that either the middleweight or LHW belt would be on the line at that event.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Nogueira matches up very well against Kongo. Nog can hold his own standing, and when he takes it to the ground, Kongo will be outclassed. Sure Kongo showed a vastly improved ground game against Crocop, but that in no way prepares him for Nog's jiu jitsu. There's little reason to doubt Nog's transition to the cage will prove to be closer to Rampage's than to Crocop's or Shogun's.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Considering the recent rash of PRIDE flops in the UFC I would not want to pick a winner in the Kongo/Nog match. After looking into it further I believe #2 Don is right. I no way shape or form should Kongo beat Nog and in no way shap or form should Kongo be fighting for the title. Should Kongo beat Nog, he'll get tooled big time by Randy. I will never again count out Randy.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
"After the Jardine and Griffin upsets, that means we'll see Randy vs. Kongo for the heavyweight title."
'I think the wording here might be off, you mean the winner of Nog-Kongo will face Couture right?'
Hi UFCDAILY.COM,
No, he's saying with all of the upsets in 2007, Kongo will probably defeat Nog leading to Cheick vs. Randy. (He's assuming the winner of that fight gets a title shot, we'll see.)
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Title should say "likes light heavyweight".

A guerrilla gardener is on the loose in the Westport area, trying to beautify blighted areas that once sat barren.
Guerrilla gardeners grow plants, herbs and vegetables on public pieces of land that are in bad condition.
Glenn Stewart has a green thumb but, until recently, had nowhere to use her talents. That is until she passed by the post office at 200 Westport Road and noticed the rose bushes were struggling. She asked if she could spruce them up, but fixing them wasn't enough for her.
"I thought you know, 'I could just start a little garden and, if nobody gets upset, good,'" she said.
But some people who were loitering around Westport businesses did get upset that Stewart was on a mission to clean up the area.
"Some of the guys that hung out here. They chased me around a few times. The cops were called, that kind of thing," she said.
Soon, she said, the power of plants took over and, with each new addition to the growing garden, the number of loiterers started to dwindle. Their squatting spot was soon filled with over 50 types of plants.
"Things kind of took care of themselves. Mario's was able to stay open longer. They open early and stay open longer. That made them happy," Stewart said.
The owners of nearby restaurant Mario's were so thrilled with the positive change, they allow Stewart to use their water line to keep the garden alive. The flourishing garden garnered a new name – The Magic Garden.
"It sort of came to me when I first started on it because it survived no matter what. It survived the elements. Some of the soil wasn't good," Stewart said. "It survived some of the characters and that's magic."
The Magic Garden attracts more than just people.
"The wacky doves almost say, 'there she is.' They make all this noise and talk to each other as I get the seed out of the trunk," Stewart said. "They know me now. They know my car. It's hilarious."
Some might call her a guerilla gardener, but Stewart said her creation is a guerrilla garden with a little bit of permission. The result is a garden that allows anyone to stop by and trim some fresh herbs to take home.
"It helps me because I'm going to trim them anyway and of course I use them," Stewart said.
She asks that anyone who stops by to trim some fresh herbs from the garden do it from the top down. She said many of her friends and community members donated plants and ornaments and she also searches for discounted plants to grow in the garden.

Tip of the Week
| Ammunition Is Getting Scarce
Ammunition Is Getting Scarce
Gary North -
January 26, 2013
The supplies of ammunition are tight. There is heavy buying.
There is fear that the U.S. government will place controls on ammo. I don't think this is likely this year or next. Don't buy in a time of panic. But you can do this. Buy primers.

Snyder v. Phelps being argued today
Today the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in Snyder v. Phelps. Fred Phelps is the pastor of Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) in Kansas. The Phelps family and the small WBC community have been notorious in recent years for their protests at the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. WBC, as most readers are probably familiar, has radically anti-homosexual views (as well as anti-Catholic). WBC suggests that the death of American soldiers is just retribution for sin in America. Signs they bear include slogans such as "God hates fags," "Thank God for dead soldiers," and "Priests rape boys."
The father of a deceased soldier sued after WBC protested at his son's funeral. A district court ruled in the father's favor and ordered substantial damages for his claims if intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED) and invasion of privacy. At issue before the Court: Does the First Amendment protect WBC from liability under IIED?
It should be noted that both the IIED and invasion of privacy claims have little merit on their own. IIED would probably fail because WBC made hyperbolic claims that would not likely be believed by most, and WBC made claims that cannot have their veracity verified by a Court. Both would probably fail because the funeral was publically advertised, the father made news appearances, and the father didn't even see or hear the protesters at the funeral… they were over 1,000 feet away from the church.
All of that, however, will be irrelevant if the Court validates WBC's use of the free speech shield. Very likely, the speech will be protected because it is public speech about a public issue.
Obviously, I am not very sympathetic to the cause or methods of WBC. Yet the issue cannot be the merit of what WBC says or its popularity. While they are characterized as right-wing, free speech groups from all over the political spectrum (including the ACLU) have risen to their defense.
A concern for me, which extends beyond the Voltairian "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," strikes at where this case will lead if WBC's speech is not protected. No doubt, the content of WBC's speech would have to weigh into a Court decision against WBC's position. If this happens, Christians would have to become wary of the future when we address issues such as homosexuality and the nature of marriage, for example. As our speech becomes more and more unpopular, we should hesitate to limit the speech of others with unpopular viewpoints… such a precedent could be harmful in the future.
Though we won't know for many a month, I expect the Court to rule in WBC's favor.

Freedom Fighters: Roy Lee RobertsonBy Joan Hallmark The Vietnam War saw the highest proportion of African Americans ever to serve in an American war. Roy Lee Robertson was one of those young African American men called to serve his country in January of 1967. During his service in Vietnam, Robertson was wounded three times. He was awarded three Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars for his bravery in battle.But he also received a lifetime of bad dreams and other symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for which he still receives treatment. In spite of this, Robertson says he's thankful to have survived the war when so many did not.

Architectural Digest held their annual Home Design Show in New York at Pier 94 and it was bigger than ever. The event featured 400 exhibitors, many of them manufacturers and distributors of luxury products. There was a special section "Made," which featured handcrafted accessories and furniture by a talented group of artists and designers. At the event, there were also design seminars presented by The New York Times featuring speakers from the Sustainable Furnishings Council.
From the"Made" section, one of the featured artists was Kanik Chung who displayed some of her unique glass plates with glass bubbles (above). These would make cool wall art decor if done in a cluster. More modern home decor artists made big statements, such as Heather Kocsis who showcased her city scape artwork and Vicki Da Silva who displayed some of her interiors light photography (below).
There were furniture designers such as Peter Buley who uses only recycled materials for his designs, like this sliding-door credenza (below). His modern furniture almost doubles as artwork.
Not listed in any of the directories was Art for Kids, a company who manufacturers furniture and accessories for kid's rooms and nurseries. This company had an extremely fun and colorful display of art that undoubtedly helped children get excited about design.
No matter what your age or industry background, the A.D. Home Design Show each year is all about inspiration. By showcasing unique and beautiful work from designers an artists, hopefully everyone walks away with an idea and bit of creativity.

Lighting is a key element in kitchen design, not just for it's functional element, but the aesthetic element as well. The lighting you choose for your kitchen can truly transform your space and take you from Mid-Century Modern to Hollywood Glam with one simple fixture. While the cabinetry style remains very similar take a look how the lighting in these modern kitchens completely changes the style and makes a really bold statement. A Mid-Century modern chandelier mixes so beautifully with charcoal veneer cabinetry, a chromed island, and herringbone floor. It adds playful character to an elegant kitchen.
Jonathon Adler Meurice Collection 30 Light Chandelier
The charcoal veneer cabinetry, marble island, and natural wood island table work perfectly with an industrial modern pendant. The nice clean lines and gorgeous silhouette of the pendant lights compliment the rough edges of the table while the bronze finish contrasts so nicely with the marble top yet blends so nicely with the cabinetry and the flooring. This is the perfect look to warm up any industrial modern loft!
Piquito 11" High Black Mini Pendant
Bronx 7-1/2" Wide Black Pendant
These sleek clean lines are gorgeous on their own, but adding that glamorous chandelier is like putting on the perfect necklace or pair of earrings. It adds an element of sophistication and femininity without taking away from the strong modern details that make this kitchen so beautiful.
Robert Abbey Bling Collection Chandelier
The organic shape of the chandelier really softens up the space. It's a great contrast to the hard elements of the concrete floor and brick wall and really adds movement and depth to an otherwise stark kitchen.
Possini White Cloud 15" Wide Pendant
For the minimalist at heart, one option is no decorative lighting and the other is a light as sleek and clean as its environment. These long tube like pendants stand their ground over this island without creating too much drama. The clean lines mimic the lines of the cabinetry and remain absolutely stunning in their simplicity.

The business administration minor is intended to provide another academic option for non-business majors. Selection of this minor will broaden the academic pursuits of non-business majors, provide a credential that will make them more attractive to employers in the business sector, and serve as background for those intending to pursue the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A) degree.
The business administration minor courses are available for students in the on-line Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies program. Click here for more information on Clarion's on-line programs.
The business administration minor has the following required courses.
ACTG 251: Financial Accounting
ACTG 252: Managerial Accounting
ECON 211: Principles of Macroeconomics
ECON 212: Principles of Microeconomics
FIN 370: Financial Management
MGMT 320: Management Theory and Practice
MKTG 360: Principles of Marketing
It is recognized that a number of non-business curricula currently contain required business courses (e.g., information systems). For those students whose major requires specific business courses, a maximum of nine (9) upper-division business course credits must be completed beyond those required for their non-business major program (this includes the on-line BS in Liberal Studies program).

From CNBC to The Wall Street Journal, reporters from across the country have come to Cedar Falls this week in an effort to understand the fall of PFG Best and explain it to the business community nationwide.
Bloomberg Businessweek reported a Peregrine holiday party in Chicago this past December took a somber turn when Russ Wasendorf, Senior said while he was proud of creating the company you never know how things will turn out.
The New York Times said with "the broad smile and clean-cut looks of a television news anchor, Mr. Wasendorf, 64, is a rock star in Cedar Falls... he regularly flew his private jet for meetings in Chicago" and "his employees jokingly referred to the plane as Air Wasendorf. He flew around the world to attend Lady Gaga concerts."
MSNBC reported "with an unusual empire including a Romanian property company and a glossy magazine, Wasendorf's ego stood out even in the rough and tumble world of the Chicago futures industry. He proudly underwrote big-name guest speakers at industry events and held private VIP receptions for them, and flashed a jeweled pinky ring. His favorite quote, according to his Facebook page, was, "If I wanted patience, I would buy it."

Re the June 15 article School's out, let the summer fun in: As a busy working mother I wanted to share with others that our kids can enjoy that idyllic kind of summertime about which Ana Veciana-Suarez reminisces. A great place to let our children have time to enjoy things in nature while being safe and supervised, is one of the many Nature Camps run by Miami-County Parks. From the age of 6, kids can start being Nature Detectives and Eco-Explorers and can advance to the Camp by the Sea where older kids go out exploring a wide variety of places in kayaks, snorkeling, hiking and seeing places most residents of South Florida never see or even know about! You can find details at www.miamiecoadventures.org.
Our son started at the age of 6, and has enjoyed a variety of these until he became a volunteer counselor a few years ago, and this summer he has his first job as a counselor. I recommend these nature camps because they let kids be outside, away from electronics, having fun, and learning about the wonderful part of the world in which we are all very fortunate to live.
