On a hot, steamy morning last July, a dozen people convened in a red-brick courthouse in McRae, Georgia, which is literally a two-stoplight town. Most of them had gotten together years earlier, though the circumstances of the first meeting were considerably more pleasant. It was January 31, 1992, and they had gathered at the Golden Corral restaurant in Hinesville, Georgia for the wedding-rehearsal dinner of Mark Jones and his sweetheart, Dawn Burgett, who were to be married the following afternoon in the chapel at Fort Stewart, where Jones, a private in the Army, was stationed. The mood then was jovial, according to Jones's mother. After dinner, at about 9:30 P.M., Jones and two Army buddies, Ken Gardiner and Dominic Lucci, milled about in the parking lot with the other guests. Jones was a teetotaler and something of a recluse, but his friends wanted to throw him a bachelor party by taking him to a strip club for one last night of freedom, and Burgett encouraged him to go. So the boys piled into Gardiner's Chevy Cavalier, destined for a nearby club. When they arrived, Jones, who was only 20, was carded, so the friends headed for another club, Tops Lounge, which Lucci had once visited, about an hour away in Savannah. When they arrived at Tops, Jones was carded again, but a customer there suggested another club he was sure Jones would be admitted to. So the three hopped back into the car—and promptly got lost. They were passing the Savannah police headquarters, known as the Barracks, when they stopped to ask a female officer they saw outside for directions. And thus began a 21-year odyssey that has yet to end.
That's because the officer had just returned from a murder scene where a 35-year-old drug addict named Stanley Jackson had been gunned down in a drive-by shooting, and she had in tow the only eyewitness to the crime: James White, a 38-year-old evangelical preacher who was entering his home when Jackson was killed in a nearby intersection. White told the officer that the car carrying Jones, Gardiner and Lucci "looked like" the car he had seen speeding away. Shortly afterward the three were pulled from the strip club and lined up against a wall, where White said, "That's what they were wearing." They were then brought to the Barracks. Burgett got a call from Jones at about two A.M., telling her he had been arrested. After a visit to the jail, she returned to the chapel later that morning and posted a sign on the door: WEDDING OF DAWN BURGETT AND MARK JONES CANCELED DUE TO FAMILY EMERGENCY.
It was a short trial. At the time, Savannah was a racial cauldron due largely to a violent drug gang headed by a sociopath named Ricky Jivens. The city's new mayor, who had taken office just weeks before Jackson's death, had been elected with a substantial black vote on a platform of crime prevention, and the prosecution of three white soldiers for the murder of a black man helped fulfill her promise of racial evenhandedness. At trial the defendants adduced a "time alibi"—they couldn't possibly have gotten from Hinesville to Savannah in time to commit the murder, much less pick up AK-47s, the weapons with which Jackson had presumably been killed. There was absolutely no forensic evidence connecting them to the crime, save a trace of gunshot residue on the back of Jones's hand that was explained away by his having moved gear that had been on the gunnery range earlier that day. But the prosecutor said they had motive. He claimed the three were addicts of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons and had tried to actualize the game by slaying an "evil" person. Adding a second motive, he brought a member of Jones's outfit to the stand to say Jones had threatened to kill a black man that weekend, even though none of the defendants had a history of violence or racial prejudice. And then there was James White, who had identified the men as the perpetrators. The jury was out only a few hours before returning a guilty verdict. The three were sentenced to life.
The boys' attorneys filed appeals. They even collected affidavits from seven members of the jury, who testified to several instances of misconduct, including a jury member who had declared the three guilty before the trial had begun. All were denied. The boys' families stayed in touch for a while, and then they didn't. "It was too painful," says Jones's mother, Deborah. Burgett remained devoted to Jones, but he wanted her to get on with her life, so he told her he didn't love her anymore, which broke her heart. She eventually married someone else. The boys did their time without a blemish on their records. Jones studied, collected certificates in everything from woodworking to engine repair and began teaching other inmates how to get a GED. Their parents would visit a few times a year—none of them lived in Georgia—and the boys could talk with them on the phone, but the calls were collect and cost nearly $20, so these were rationed every few weeks. Meanwhile, the attorneys moved on when the families couldn't pay them.
And that is where the case would have rested, were it not for the neat, short man with a fringe of gray hair, sitting behind the petitioners' counsel in the McRae courtroom on that sweltering morning last July, his face grimly resolute. His name is Jim McCloskey, and for the Savannah Three, as well as for some 80 other convicts sentenced to life in prison or to death, he is not only their last hope, he is their only hope. Fortunately, he is a pretty good hope to have.
McCloskey is the founder and executive director of Centurion Ministries, which is dedicated to freeing the wrongly convicted. Dominic Lucci wrote Centurion in 2000, trying to enlist its help, and then again in 2003, insisting he wouldn't take no for an answer. Lucci couldn't have known that getting Centurion to take a case is a little like winning the Powerball lottery. Centurion receives 1,100 requests from prisoners each year and selects only one to three cases to advocate. Each request is examined by Centurion's small staff to see if the prisoner qualifies for the group's assistance. Does he profess innocence rather than invoke a legal technicality? Have his appeals been exhausted? Is the prisoner indigent? Only after answering these in the affirmative does the staff delve into the trial record. In the case of the Savannah Three, this selection process alone took nearly six years, and it ended, as all selection processes end, with McCloskey going to the prisons and interviewing the convicts at length to determine not only whether they are innocent but also whether they are "good people," people who would live a productive life if released.
As long as the selection process takes, the process of trying to gain a prisoner's freedom usually takes even longer—typically five to 10 years, during which the prisoners are still incarcerated, still doing time for crimes McCloskey is convinced they did not commit. Sometimes it is a matter of gaining an acquittal through a retrial, sometimes a matter of gaining freedom via parole, sometimes a matter of having a conviction reversed through an evidentiary hearing at which new evidence is introduced and a judge renders a verdict, which is what McCloskey won in that McRae courtroom for the Savannah Three. The good news is that in its 33 years of existence, CM has worked on 87 cases and won 51 releases, an astonishing record when one considers that once a person is convicted, there is a presumption of guilt, not of innocence. On average, each CM client had spent more than 20 years in jail.
And there is something else about Centurion that makes these numbers even more remarkable. Although it is hardly the only group dedicated to reversing wrongful convictions—there are some 75 "innocence projects" in America today—nearly all these organizations concentrate exclusively on exculpatory DNA evidence. McCloskey admits DNA is now so popular with courts that non-DNA cases are practically orphans. Centurion doesn't forswear DNA if it is available, but it specializes in non-DNA cases like the Savannah Three's, cases that rely on shoe leather and old-fashioned investigation rather than a single lab test. In short, Centurion takes the very toughest cases.
Even so, CM's reputation is now so sterling that courts sometimes give its cases special attention. Lawyers who are chosen to work with CM, usually at less than half their normal fees, take great pride in doing so. 60 Minutes has featured three of CM's cases on its show, and one of those segments was largely responsible for gaining a prisoner parole. Television and movies have come calling, but McCloskey dismissed them when a scriptwriter had him interrogating a witness and then winding up in bed with her, and in any case, McCloskey says he doesn't have the time to fool with entertainment.
What keeps Jim McCloskey going for long days at his Princeton, New Jersey headquarters and in a grind in which he spends nearly half his life on the road, often in the bleakest American backwaters, is not the search for notoriety. It is an awful knowledge he bears: He knows the justice system is often corrupt. He knows police and prosecutors and witnesses sometimes lie to get convictions. He knows innocent men are spending their lives behind bars, even when the system realizes they are innocent. He knows that, despite the presumption of innocence, most people—most jurors—have such faith in law enforcement and prosecutorial judgment that there is often a presumption of guilt instead. More specifically, he knows the Savannah Three are innocent. "I have never encountered a case where it was so obvious that one man, let alone three, were arrested without any credible evidence and were convicted," he says.
So McCloskey headed down to Savannah, as he had headed into so many communities before, to free them. But he also headed down to save himself as much as to save them.
The journey that took Jim McCloskey to prisons and courtrooms was a long and often dark one, though to look at him he hardly seems like the kind of guy who pounds the meanest streets in America, confronts some of the toughest folks and stares down some of the most intractable prosecutors and police officers. There is something cherubic about him, and he bears a faint resemblance to the old Warner Bros. star Pat O'Brien, who specialized in bighearted Irish priests and cops. People describe him as kind looking, the sort of guy who makes you feel good, though he would be the first to tell you looks can be deceiving.
He had an idyllic upbringing. He was born in Philadelphia 71 years ago into Irish aristocracy. His great-uncle Matt McCloskey owned a large construction firm that built the Spectrum and Veterans Stadium, among other landmarks. Uncle Matt contributed so much to the Democratic Party that he became its national treasurer and was then appointed ambassador to Ireland by President Kennedy. By that time, Jim's father was an executive in McCloskey Construction, and Jim was known to his friends as Matt, after the family patriarch. The only shadow on the family arrived in 1947, when Jim was five. His mother took to her bed one Friday with flu-like symptoms and awoke on Sunday paralyzed by polio. The night she was diagnosed, Jim's father, who never drank, got drunk. It was the last time the family let its spirits flag.

Dear Steve,
Many neighbors commented that they visited alamoinc.org and tried to click on "Extensive Information" and didn't find that link. They found opinion, campaign presentation, committee's personal interests, and a wonderful imagination about what is possible but not illustrated in the AIM incorporation proposal.
Please provide the specific link for access to "Extensive Information" and any special password or pin number required to participate in such information.
Special thanks to you for this invitation to in-depth information,

Dear Townfolk,
Out this away, we know facts when we see them and no jasper is going to tell us what facts to believe. You townfolk, with a gleam in your eye, want us to believe alot of hogwash and promises.
Not so fast, strangers, not until you are believable yourselves. Your gang of Alamo incorporation proponents and your promises are simply not believable and the Alamo you imagine just doesn't exist.

CATEGORIES Animation, Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Disney, Shorts, Fandom, Tech Stuff, Scripts, Family Films, Home Entertainment, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Features, Movies, CinematicalI am almost totally caught up on the films of 2007. The only major awards contender I haven't seen yet is Pixar's Ratatouille. Damn you Netflix and your "Very Long Wait" status! I've heard great things though, and now I've got an added reason to check out the DVD. Over at JimHillmedia, a Disney-focused news site, a reader wrote in: "Can you please help me win a bet at work? A co-worker of mine says that WALL-E makes a brief cameo appearance in Ratatouille. More importantly, this guy has bet me $100 that I'll never ever be able to find that robot in this movie." (WALL-E is the title character of Pixar's next film -- WALL-E.) The post answers that question and adds a really neat compilation of lots of the "cameos," in-jokes, and easter eggs in Pixar shorts and features.
It seems there are all kinds of callbacks and interconnections in the Pixar universe, and you fans of the films should definitely check out the site. It will help you watch the movies with fresh eyes. Some of the crossovers are very fast and will require a pause button. For example, the birds from the Pixar short "For the Birds" appear in Cars...for a tenth of a second. Others are much easier to spot. Look carefully at those toys in Monsters, Inc. and you'll see some old friends. A boy at the dentist in Finding Nemo is reading an Incredibles comic. And did you know that a "Pizza Planet" truck drives through each and every Pixar feature? Oh, and by the way, it sounds like that guy who wrote in to the site was duped. if you want to find WALL-E, he's not in Ratatouille, just the disc's special features. Rats!

NEW YORK -- Raul Ibanez's short-lived heroics would not have been necessary Saturday if the Yankees had avoided joining unwanted company earlier in their 6-4, 12-inning loss to the Tigers to open the American League Championship Series. The Yankees became just the third team in playoff history to load the bases at least three times and strand the runners there each time.
The Braves did it each of the previous two times -- once in 1998, and once when they represented Milwaukee in the 1957 World Series against the Yankees. They lost the 1998 National League Championship Series to the Padres after stranding the bases loaded three times in Game 3, but they beat the Yankees for the title in 1957, when they left the bases loaded four times in another Game 3 loss.
"That kept our momentum going," Fister said.
Alex Rodriguez did his part in the first inning, ripping a ground ball to the left side only to have Peralta rob him with a backhanded dive. Peralta's throw beat Ibanez to second base for a forceout.
Peralta again rescued Fister an inning later, when Robinson Cano sent a ground ball up the middle and off Fister's wrist before it bounced to Detroit's charging shortstop. Again, his throw barely beat the runner -- this time Cano at first -- to the bag.
"Fister is skinny and I am still trying to figure out how the ball hit him," said manager Joe Girardi. "There are other pitchers I can understand that it hits the guy up the middle, but not this guy. We had some bad breaks."
But the Yankees' missed opportunity in the sixth inning was nothing of the sort.
Rodriguez struck out on three pitches with two on and no outs before Nick Swisher walked to load the bases. New York only needed a sacrifice fly to put a run on the board, but Curtis Granderson struck out on three pitches and Russell Martin struck out on four.
It marked the fourth time in the past two postseasons that Fister escaped a bases-loaded jam against New York. He did the same thing in Game 5 of the ALDS a year ago, inducing pop-ups from Martin and Brett Gardner, and the Tigers would eventually end the Yankees' season.
The Yankees became the first team to escape three bases-loaded jams 55 years ago, with Don Larsen pitching in relief to escape all of them -- twice against Hank Aaron. Now, however, they are the third to walk away empty handed with that much opportunity.

East bound lanes of the Mississippi River Bridge at Vicksburg have reopened, and the west bound lanes should reopen in the next couple of hours. The bridge had been closed since 4 a.m. Wednesday because of a chemical spill.
An 18-wheeler skidded on the ice and crashed into a railing and at least four other tractor-trailer rigs were involved in the accident.
One of the trucks, a tanker, was leaking Isopropyl 2-Chloropropionate, which is highly flammable and toxic.
MDOT has been recommending that westbound traffic on I-20 use alternate routes of I-59 S out of Meridian or I-55 S out of Jackson to I-10 W, or I-55 S to US 84 W and cross the Mississippi River at Natchez then use US 425 N or US 65 N to reconnect with I-20 W in Louisiana.

An adrenaline-filled thrill ride through the radical new sport that allows men to fly like birds
View Trailer
Buy Download
Arrange a Screening
Staring down a sheer precipice into a deep abyss with your head spinning, every fibre in your body tries to resist the edge. Meet the mad men and women who don't. Overcoming their fears, they step off into thin air and fly like birds, hurtling at impossible speeds and gliding low across beautiful, rolling landscapes. A startling, adrenaline-filled insight into the revolutionary new sport that brings the dream of human flight alive.
At first you might mistake it for a mountaintop costume party: three young hikers in flapping, brightly-coloured bat costumes, pausing to admire the view. But under their faintly ridiculous trappings, Matt, Ellen and Mike are deadly serious. They are wingsuit basejumpers - diehard members of an elite sporting community. Prior to flinging themselves into the void, they've made lengthy calculations, and are prepared to make split-second decisions once airborne. While standing, walking or at rest, their wings hang heavy and uncomfortable from the human body. But in mid-air they seem to morph into a new species and leave the human race behind. In the words of one basejumper: "it's only when you leave the cliff - when you're flying - that you really feel at home."

But spend a few minutes in a health food store, and you'll quickly learn that chia seeds do more than grow fuzzy green plants — they help grow healthy kids, too.

That said, we know kids balk at the idea of eating something new or different from their usual fare — not to mention something that looks like a bird seed — so we've rounded up eight tot-friendly recipes that sneak chia into some of their favorite foods.

Yea, I've said it before, I'll say it again, people don't know what the difference is between 320kbps and 128 kbps and those are sad fucks.
Raz, you do a good thing everytime you record sets, it's the people who re:encode streams and sets that are the sad asses...
320kbps would only be a good bitrate to stream if it was a direct line from the mixer without the ambient noise from the crowed.
128kbps makes more sense, thou 192 would be optimal as it doesn't distort the frequencies as much as 128kbps.
Keep it real, either go to the events or broadcast and encode them in a optimal format = mp3, 192kbps cbr (pref) / vbr / joint stereo / stereo (pref).

Unless you are doing astronomy photography, keep long exposure nr off. It will take a dark frame of the same length as the exposure and subtract it to remove thermal noise. So, if you have a 5 minute exposure, another 5 minute dark frame exposure will occur. People turn this on and then think their camera is defective.
Actually, for astrophotography, I would turn NR off and do all of that with post. I would be afraid of losing *any* details with in-camera NR. The astrophotography-specific post processing applications do this best by averaging many fark frames.
One reason that Canon dominates DSLR astrophotography is because on Nikon DSLRs, you couldn't turn off all in-camera NR, even with RAW files. As a result, Nikon DSLRs got the nickname "star eaters" among many astrophotographers.

Beware of purchasing expensive certificates online: a number of websites are offering customers the chance to buy certificates which range in price from £19 to £60. Obtaining a certificate from the relevant register office is a straightforward process and is usually fairly quick, either same day or within a day or two by post.
To obtain a certified copy of a register entry, applications can be made either in person at, or in writing to, your local register office.
Personal callers at the register office are sometimes able to receive their certificate while they wait, but please see "Same Day Service" information below. Postal applications for certificates are generally processed in 3-5 days. This may vary depending on the level of information supplied.
Please be aware that, for various reasons, applications for certified copies of older records do often take longer to search.
Please note: a birth certificate of an adopted person cannot be obtained from the local Register Office since these records are held centrally for England and Wales. For more information on this, visit www.direct.gov.uk.
Applicants for certified copies of register entries must be able to provide the following details:
the full names and surname of the person whose certificate is required (no search can be undertaken without this information)
the date and place of the event (in the case of a religious marriage, this should include the actual building/church)
any other names, such as a maiden name, where relevant.
A free, short birth certificate is issued by the Registrar at the time of registration. Additional short and full birth certificates, requested on the day of registration, cost £4.
Death certificates, at the time of registration, are also £4.
From a Registrar after the day of registration (for a limited time) certificates cost £7.
From the Superintendent Registrar or from an archived register:
Please note: Telephone applications will be charged at the Express Service rate.
Cheques or postal orders should be in pounds sterling and made payable to 'Superintendent Registrar'. Please write your full postal address on the reverse.
If applying for more than one certificate (particularly from older records) it is advisable to send a separate cheque/postal order for each certificate, in case it is not possible to locate all the entries required.
Please also enclose a stamped addressed envelope.
Our commemorative certificates are a lasting reminder of a treasured occasion and are suitable for any occasion you choose to celebrate:
special birthday
special anniversary
wedding day
civil partnership
renewal of vows
naming ceremony
or any other special occasion you would like to commemorate.
The certificates are available to anyone, regardless of where the event took place (including abroad), and would make an ideal gift or personal memento.
With a choice of two exclusive designs, gold-embossed and presented in their own gold coloured envelope (or in a frame), we can produce a lovely memento of any event.
Commemorative certificates can be purchased from any of the five register offices: unframed £10.00, framed £15.00. However, if you are celebrating a naming or renewal of vows ceremony with us anyway, you will receive one of these certificates with our compliments. For further information please contact your local register office.
Please note: these certificates have no legal status and cannot be used for any official purpose or as evidence of identity.
If you require copies of your divorce papers (decree absolute) you will need to contact the court where the divorce was passed. The County Council does not hold this information.
With emailme you can receive regular updates about council services and events straight into your inbox.

Reggie Moore, the Washington State point guard dismissed by the program last week, wrote an open letter to fans and sent it to the Spokesman-Review in hopes of getting it published.
Vince Grippi, the WSU beat writer for the paper, obliged, publishing it on his blog Thursday morning.
Read the statement from Reggie Moore (Spokesman.com)
The letter includes an apology to fans, as well as an admission that he "made a costly mistake". He didn't say what that mistake was, nor has the school released any information surrounding his violation of team rules.
Said Moore:
"It's unfortunate that it had to come to this for me, but I have learned from this experience, and I believe it has already made me a better person. I'm still excited about the future, and the new challenges and opportunities that await me as a student athlete."
Moore hasn't said where he plans to go from here, and neither has the University.

SCOTT COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - A burning body was found early Sunday morning in Scott County.
Officials say a passerby found the body about 1:30 a.m., 50 feet off Lake Norris Road.
It's estimated that it was set on fire, 1 to 2 hours before the discovery.
The body is believed to be that of an African American female, but the remains were sent to Jackson for an autopsy.
Investigators say it could take several days to identify the body.
Scott County had no missing person's reports matching the description of the body, but authorities are checking surrounding areas for possible matches.

An explosion that rocked Sissonville this week could have been caused by deterioration within a natural gas pipeline.
According to Robert Sumwalt from the National Transportation Safety Board, a six-foot area along the bottom of the pipe had thin walls, in some places less than a tenth of an inch in thickness, or about 70 percent thinner than designed. This loss of wall thickness could have contributed to the Dec. 11 explosion near Sissonville.
Sumwalt said this section of pipeline SM-80 was connected to the Lanham Compression Station owned by NiSource/Columbia Gas. Pressure within the pipe dropped at approximately 12:41 p.m. Dec. 11, but Sumwalt said NTSB investigators don't know if the pressure drop contributed to the blast or was a result of the pipe rupture.
This was the second day NTSB investigators were on the ground in Sissonville. Sumwalt said investigators are working to gather as much information about the blast as they can. He said determining how the pipeline could have deteriorated so much is one focus of the investigation.
"Today was a productive day for our investigative team," Sumwalt said at a Dec. 13 press briefing.
Investigators spent the afternoon interviewing Columbia Gas' central command center personnel. Sumwalt told reporters Dec. 12 that the blast triggered no alarms at the central command center. He said at the Dec. 13 briefing that changes in pressure have to be significant to trigger alarms. But, he said, NTSB investigators would evaluate NiSource's response to the blast.
"We will be evaluating their response to see if it was adequate and efficient," Sumwalt said.
He also said he wasn't sure how NISource found out about the blast. That question would be answered in the evaluation.
Sumwalt said investigators will conduct more interviews tomorrow, as well as send the ruptured pipe to labs in Washington, D.C., for further testing. Investigators also will extract a portion of SM-80 that was undamaged and continue to gather documents and records.
"We want to make sure this pipeline is not affected in an adverse way in other areas," he said.

Multiple photos showcasing the nearly $17 million former Coral Gables (FL) home of Pat Riley, as well as his currently "for rent" Malibu (CA) beachfront property. Piece also includes information regarding his current residence, a 5,325-square-foot South Beach condo.
Pat Riley reflects upon the Heat's 2010-11 season. If there were any questions of whether or not the Hall of Famer, Pat Riley, will return to the sidelines, Pat Riley says he will not return to coaching and that the Big 3 comprised of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh will stay intact. He also addresses other questions, rumors, and concerns.
Van Gundy, who worked in Miami with Riley for 12 seasons from 1995-2006, fired back on Saturday at the many inconsistencies in Riley's behavior and criticisms through the years. ``I thought it was pretty typical. I was kind of amused by it, especially reading down through the interview,'' Van Gundy said. ``He goes into Charles Barkley, me and Otis and then says he doesn't worry about what people say. Wait, you called the press conference, you went off and everybody and you don't care what people say? Clearly, he cares a great deal about what people say. I was laughing when I saw that.''

It was hard to choose from the variety of emblematic places Porto has to offer, but taking into account it was recently listed in an international ranking of "Streets to Visit", I had to go with the charismatic Ribeira.
This eclectic area, bathed by the Douro River, is one of the most iconic places you can visit during your stay. Overlooking the (Porto) wine cellars on the other side, while portraying a unique view of two of the most renowned bridges that cross the city, it's definitely a sight to behold. Its beauty is only surpassed by the overall atmosphere that permeates the space, with locals and tourists turning the street into an unmatched multicultural, bohemian rendezvous. From the scattered market stands, to the groups of people sitting by the riverside and the constant flow of sightseeing and traditional boats sailing the river, it's hard not to be dazzled.
It's nice to remember that although shorts play a crucial role during the season, Summery attires don't necessarily need to be sloppy or overly relaxed. Simplicity can still look good in a pair of cuffed, tailored shorts, sitting perfectly above the knee, when matched with a classic white tee and double breasted knit blazer. It's just right to exude a balanced and polished ensemble that will make you look good on (almost) any casual occasion.

Bryant Pond Summer Camp Moose Permit Auction Scholarship Funds still available…
The ME IF&W Moose permit scholarship is intended for Maine residents ages 8-17 and is awarded as $250 towards any of the following programs on a one-time-only, first-come, first-served basis:
Other scholarships are available as well, please call our office @207-665-2068 for up-to-date information.
For many years, Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife has auctioned off Moose Hunting permits to generate scholarship money for young people to attend a week-long summer camp program; "Conservation Camp". We grateful to receive some of this funding support, and our campers are also very appreciative, as is demonstrated in the thank you letters at the end of the IF&W MonthlyReport090613
Ron Fournier, summer camp director of the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Bryant Pond, recently hosted an educational archery session with his wife Dee at the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray. Fournier, who is also a 4-H-certified shooting sports safety instructor for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, told the Lakes Region Weekly the activity is "great, wholesome recreation."
The July edition of Down East magazine named the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Bryant Pond the best wilderness training camp in the state. The listing, part of the magazine's "Best of Maine" feature, referred to the camp as "a welcome throwback to camps of old."
Bryant Pond, Maine — University of Maine 4-H Camp & Learning Center at Bryant Pond is one of two programs to receive $60,000 from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's annual Moose Hunting Permit Auction for its youth conservation education summer camp programming.
The department auctions 10 moose hunting permits annually to applicants who submit the highest bids through a written bid process. All funds from the sale of these permits, including bidding fees, are deposited into a nonlapsing fund to be used to pay the costs to administer the program and to fund youth conservation education programs in Maine. Winning bids for 2013 ranged from $10,191.11 to $11,734.56.
The Bryant Pond 4-H Camp awards these funds as $250 scholarships toward the cost of many of its summer camp programs. These scholarships are for Maine residents only, are all one-time use and issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Bryant Pond program has been a recipient of these funds since the moose permit legislation was enacted in 1995. As a result, hundreds of Maine young people have used the scholarship funds to attend a summer session of "Conservation Camp," earning their boating or hunter safety certification.
More information about University of Maine 4-H Camp & Learning Center's programs is online (umaine.edu/bryantpond/summer-camp). For summer camp scholarship information, contact Bryant Pond 4-H Camp, 207.665.2068.
Image Description: Umaine ExtensionBryant Pond 4-H Camp
University of Maine Cooperative Extension is one of seven state 4-H programs to receive $100,000 for its youth firearm safety programming from the MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc. and Scholastic Shooting Trust. The funding is part of a $3 million donation from Larry and Brenda Potterfield, founders of MidwayUSA. In addition to supporting 4-H Shooting Sports programs, the donation provided 192 shooting sports teams nationwide endowments of $10,000 each.
Last November, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife also administered $23,600 from the U.S. Department of the Interior/U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support a three year 4-H Shooting Sports partnership. Additionally, in June of last year, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation donated $10,000 to the endowment fund, which was matched by the Potterfields.
In the 4-H Shooting Sports programs, youths learn marksmanship, safe and responsible use of firearms, and principles of hunting and archery. The activities of the program and the support of caring adult leaders provide young people with opportunities to develop life skills, self-worth, and conservation ethics, says Scott Olsen, the Maine 4-H Shooting Sports Program Coordinator and Marketing and Outreach Director at Bryant Pond 4-H Camp and Learning Center.

When: Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7, 2013
Where: Pleasant River Fish and Game Conservation Association, Columbia, Maine
Thanks to a grant from the Maine Community Foundation to enhance our S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) programming here at Bryant Pond 4-H Camp, we have installed a weather station which can be accessed at the following website: http://rainwise.net/weather/ryan04219
In an article about the coming Phillips Outdoor Heritage Days, the Irregular newspaper in Kingfield described the University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H archery program, offered for more than 50 years at the 4-H Camp and Learning Center at Bryant Pond, as a program that strengthens children's relationships with the natural world through a combination of outdoor fun, practical woods-wise skills and hands-on conservation education.
The University of Maine 4-H Shooting Sports program has partnered with Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife to expand their youth shooting sports education program statewide over the next three years. The Bryant Pond 4-H Camp, now the University of Maine 4-H Shooting Sports (4HSS) program headquarters, has a long history of partnership with IF&W. Bryant Pond operates an on-site youth Conservation Camp during the summer, where young people have an opportunity to earn their archery or firearms hunter safety certification. This new partnership enables the 4HSS staff to work with IF&W Recreational Safety instructors, County Extension offices, local sporting clubs and other partners to extend the outreach of these important programs.
In the spring of 2011, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Recreational Safety Coordinator, Mike Sawyer approached the 4HSS staff at Bryant Pond requesting a three-year proposal to expand and enhance the delivery of shooting sports safety education statewide. By fall of 2011, funding was in place to begin offering training programs across the state. Through a Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund grant, we have recently purchased an enclosed trailer, which will be used to transport shooting sports program equipment to all corners of Maine.
This past winter, a 6-week pilot program was delivered at Westbrook High School to 22 juniors and seniors, who earned their archery hunter safety certification as part of their in-school curriculum. As I write this, the second Westbrook High School program is underway, and our 4HSS Trailer and staff have just left the parking lot, headed for Millinocket to deliver a 3-day program for 60 Middle School youth.
Future plans for the program include in-school, afterschool and youth group programs, outreach programs in all areas of Maine, including establishing county-based 4HSS clubs (like the Cumberland County Bullseyes). In addition, we also offer summer camp programs in Archery, Rifle & Shotgun and Apprentice Hunter (which includes an upland bird hunt).
Of course, to pull all this off, we need a corps of dedicated volunteers and instructors. To that end, we are sending four Bryant Pond staff to a week-long 4HSS Training in Kansas. They will return certified to instruct Maine volunteers to work with young people. Soon after their return, we will be offering a weekend training workshop for instructors interested in working with children in the following shooting sports disciplines: Archery, Rifle, Shotgun or Wildlife/Hunting.
4-H Shooting Sports is a nationally recognized model for encouraging active lifestyles, and holistic youth development. 4-H embraces a "Learn by Doing" teaching model and has documented success in promoting long-term involvement and leadership development. By partnering actively with the State of Maine and other public and private entities to implement the program Statewide, The University of Maine 4-H Shooting Sports program will contribute the development of a citizenry with life-long, active, outdoor hunting and shooting interests.
For over 50 years the University of Maine 4-H Camp & Learning Center at Bryant Pond (formerly the Maine Conservation School) has strengthened children's relationship to the natural world with a combination of inspired outdoor fun, practical woods-wise skills, and "hands-on" conservation education.

How about those hedge funds
- 11:13 pm Saturday, June 16th, 2012 by Dian Vujovich
It's no secret that hedge funds have an appeal. In addition to being an alternative investment fit for the high and mighty and wealthy too, you'll also find these expensive-to-invest-in funds in the portfolios of many institutions. As for their returns, so far this year bond-focused hedge funds have outperformed equity-only ones.
According to eVestmentHFN, a hedge fund tracking service, credit-focused hedge fund portfolios had gained 4.11 percent by the end of May this year while equity-focused ones were only up 2.4 percent.
Looking ahead, recent stories about these alternative investments indicate their assets are expected to grow by $5 trillion over [More]

Dilapidated is a photographic work established and coordinated by Joseph B. Finney.
The inspiration for the work is the ruins in and around Central Texas. As I travel this vast open land I am taken aback by so many man made objects that has been transformed by the passing of time. For some it appears that the journey of life has expired for these objects. However, as I see it life has just begun as it serve another purpose.
In this book you will find numerous buildings that are no longer in use as it was designed. Yet as I cast my eyes upon the ruins and the remains of these dilapidated buildings a ray of beauty transforms the landscape and beckons my lens and shuttle to capture the moment for posterity.

Lady Gaga Releasing Unreleased "Born This Way" Track As Christmas Gift To Fans
[photogallerylink id=136641]
Most of our readers are residents of Southern California and, really, we aren't dreaming of a "White Christmas." We're dreaming of stockings stuffed to the brim with tech-gifts, warm enough weather to spend our vacation days at the beach, and family holiday get-togethers that don't end in fights.
We could also be dreaming of a new Lady Gaga song before the year is out, but that might be an almost as impossible fantasy as no "friendly" spats between siblings.
Guess what? It's not impossible. Lady Gaga might be spending a "White Christmas" somewhere, but she is giving her Little Monsters an unreleased track from Born This Way on Christmas Day, December 25th.
Maybe it will also snow in Los Angeles? Wouldn't that be magical?
Been racking my brain on what to get Little Monsters for Christmas!! I finally figured it out!!—
Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) December 22, 2011
On Christmas Day I will leak to you an unreleased Song off Born This Way! It was recorded live, in one take, on the tour bus. Uncensored. ☃—

my souvenir was a house
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Let's take a couple of steps back.
If you follow along with my twitter feed you know that our apartment complex has been plagued with many 2am fire evacuations starting on Halloween night. Some were pranks, some were drunks burning food on their stoves, and two were actual fires. As if the late night fire evacuations weren't enough, we were experiencing them during the day as well thanks to on going construction. This was, to say the least, not a good situation for anyone in our family and finally I was given a note from my OB saying my pregnancy is too high risk to continue to live here. As soon as the note was turned into our leasing office I started the hunt for a new place to live.
Our original plan was to rent again but this time a house. We were willing to spend a good amount so I assumed we would have no trouble locating something in one of our top areas. Turns out I was wrong and everything I was finding was over $4500 per month. In a huge pregnancy induced crying jag I sobbed to jparks that we could get a mortgage for less than that a month. I was already working with an agent to locate a rental so with access to the MLS database, jparks decided to look up houses for sale to see if I was right. Turns out I was.
We left for Universal on Sunday and the Friday before that we met our agent at pretty much the only house that interested us. It was in one of my top locations and was brand new construction which was jparks' main requirement. It didn't take long for us to know that we wanted to make an offer but we hadn't been pre-approved for any amount and we were heading out of town before we could get pre-approved.
At this point I was extremely excited to be staying at a hotel with a business center because from there we were able to print all the paperwork needed to make an offer, accept the counter offer, and then submit all the contract paperwork. So there you have it, in less than seven days we had gone from apartment dwelling renters to people with a house pending. It seems like we've made the decision to become permanent Texans for awhile.
I also got a souvenir Butterbeer tankard because there was no way I was leaving The Wizarding World of Harry Potter empty handed.

Aston Villa host Newcastle in a must-win game for Gerard Houllier's beleaguered team. Fortunately for the Villans, they're finally back up to something approaching full strength after spending most of the season with half of their first team injury - and hovering near the relegation zone as a result. Houllier is therefore able to show us what he'd be able to do when not forced to start ten year old little girls in his defensive line, so we'll for the first time in a long while see the real Aston Villa.
We may not see the real Newcastle, however. Captain Kevin Nolan is suspended and there are several major long-term absences from Alan Pardew's lineup. However, they did do a more than thorough job of slaughtering Wolves last time out, so they could well be capable of compounding Villa's woes today.
Aston Villa (4-4-1-1): Brad Friedel; Luke Young, Richard Dunne, James Collins, Kyle Walker; Gabriel Agbonlahor, Stiliyan Petrov, Jean Makoun, Stewart Downing; Ashley Young; Darren Bent.
Substitutes: Andy Marshall, Robert Pires, Marc Albrighton, Emile Heskey, Nigel Reo-Coker, Ciaran Clark, Carlos Cuellar.
Newcastle (4-4-2): Steve Harper; Danny Simpson, Steven Taylor, Mike Williamson, Jose Enrique; Joey Barton, Danny Guthrie, Fabricio Coloccini, Jonas Gutierrez; Nile Ranger, Peter Lovenkrands.
Substitutes: Tim Krul, Ryan Taylor, Shane Ferguson, Ryan Donaldson, James Tavernier, Michael Richardson, Shefki Kuqi.

Lasko 1,500 Watt Ceramic Flat Panel Electric Space Heater with Thermostat
Fantastic, couldnt be happier!
Richard from Boston, MA– Verified Buyer
I got this space heater because my room was a bit drafty and this was the perfect solution. I love that you can set a temperature and it will auto-regulate it. Definitely would recommend this piece for someone with a medium sized room looking for a little extra warmth to get through the winter!
This heater is well worth it
Bri from ridgewood, NY– Verified Buyer
This heater works really well. Heats up the space perfectly and is very quiet and safe.
Gets the Job Done
Philip from Brighton, MA– Verified Buyer
Definitely a good product. Having a temperature setting means I can set it and leave my room while it heats. I use it in a small room (12x12 feet) and it works quite well in that capacity, but I'm not sure it could effectively heat much more. Still, I'm very happy to be using it.

Warm weather is finally here and the only thing between you and the beach is this: the dreaded bikini. The question is, are you ready?
Not to worry! You can slim down and firm up fast with a 30-day bikini boot camp and you won't get bored, because there are plenty of choices. First stop is the pool with Hydro-Toning.
VIDEO: 10 full body exercises to get bikini-ready at home
"All the rules that apply when you regular weight train almost go out the window and it's just serious fat burning when you're in here," says Lifetime Fitness' Hydro-Tone Trainer John Clark.
If you want awesome abs then try Hydro-Tone four days a week. The special equipment provides resistance to target the stomach and waistline, plus, Clark says, "it's less compression on your spine, your knees, your hips, your ankles."
"So, if you have problems from running or doing other sports this is a great way to soften up your body and get an intense workout," Clark adds.
If high energy is your thing, then let's go Zumba.
"It's your ultimate dance party workout," Zumba Instructor Ashley Becker explains. "It is a little bit of salsa, a little bit on merengue, all those favorite Latin inspired movements put together in a cardio based theme class."
Just dance your way to a better backside and legs.
"If you can come and take Zumba 3-4 times a week in that 45 minute to an hour class, you're gonna start getting that dancer body, which is what everyone wants to have," Becker says.
If that's too fast, then slow it down with the precise movements of Pilates.
Pilates Instructor Jill Nelson says, "Pilates is definitely for getting that bikini body especially because we focus on the core and that area is so important as you know when we want to be out at the pool and the beach."
Just four times a week and you'll have leaner legs and a flatter stomach in 30 days.
For the ultimate bikini body, ditch the weights and just use yourself.
"Basically it's about ten full body exercises that you would be doing in about a 30-40 minute time frame," personal trainer Jason Hayes says. "It includes every muscle group and it would be an interval style to where you're keeping the heart rate up and burning the fat."
Repeat this routine five times for a complete head-to-toe workout.
"You can do this at home, you can do it in the office, you can do it in your garage, you can do it wherever you want to do it," Hayes continues. "Four to five times a week will get you ripped in 30 days."

Catch the Half-Blood Prince with the New Subway ScreensaverHBP Film
The US official Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince website has been updated with a brand new Screensaver. Found in the download section for both PC and MAC, the Screensaver features those wallpapers and posters we saw the other day with the official relaunch of the site, then a subway train passes by every few seconds to reveal a different pair of characters from the film. You can now also find a link to the YouTube Harry Potter Potions contest we reported on a few days ago.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens July 15, 2009.
