vacation rental description
This is a new, never lived in condominium in an upscale development in the Northeast Cape. The minute you drive over the cobblestone bridge and see the lush landscape at the gated entrance, you will feel like you entered another world. Each building has three stories with barrel tiled roofs and wrought iron details. The architect is Mediterrean and gives you the feeling of being in Italy. The Cape is actually called the Venice of America because of all the canals it has. Our home is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath that is not far from the center of everything. Our condo is furnished in high end "New York" style furnishings. You will feel like you are in a 5 star hotel. We bought it thinking we would use it as our vacation home, but don't really get there much.
It has all the equipment and accessories you need to enjoy as your home away from home, no need to bring anything but your toothbrush. We even have two beach chairs for your enjoyable day at the fantastic Fort Myers Beach.
The Isles of Porto Vista is located right off of the Del Prado Extension off of Route 41. Route 41 will take you into downtown Fort Myers in minutes. You can also get to Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva beaches so easily. Not to mention Barefoot Beach and Lovers Key that were both mentioned on the Travel Channels Top 10 Beaches Show. Pine Island is also less than 30 minutes away with quaint shopping. Cape Coral also has a local beach with a concession stand to have lunch or dinner there. The first Wednesday of the month they also have the Sunset Celebration with vendors, music and the most beautiful sunset you have ever seen. The Southwest International Airport is less than 30 minutes away. Naples is about 45 minutes away and is a nice day trip with lots of antique and consignment shopping.
condo rental amenities
The community boasts an absolutely beautiful community room and resort style heated pool (winter months only). It also has a gym so there is no need to give up your fitness routine. The condo has a washer, dryer and dishwasher. The kitchen is equipped with all the supplies you will need including a microwave. There is central air conditioning. Off of the living room is a lanai for your morning coffee or nightcap. All cooking utensils and small kitchen appliances are there for your enjoyment including a Keurig coffee maker. There also is an elevator if you prefer not to walk up the small flight of stairs. Each floor has their own lobby key. This makes the community very safe. No one except the 4 condos on each floor have the key to get into the lobby. Cable TV is provided by Comcast as is the telephone and internet.
activities and attractions in Cape Coral Gulf Coast South
Of course, if you are a golfer you are in the right place. Golfing is very convenient with Coral Oaks, Royal Tee, Herons Glen, Del Tura, Lake Fairways, just to name a few. If the beach is your thing, boy, are you in the right place. Fort Myers Beach is a really nice beach with boardwalk shopping and restaurants. There is shopping all around the beach that is walking convenient. If shelling is something you like to do than don't miss the #1 beach for that, Sanibel. There is actually 250,000 species of shells that are along the beach. Shellers get out there bright and early to look for specific shells. If eating out is something you like to do, you will have to eat out everynight of the week and you probably still won't get to every restaurant in close proximity. You have the choice, sit by the pool, relax, workout or golf, go to the beach, eat out. If those things don't interest you, how about shopping. There is so much shopping, you will not know where to start. Speaking of shopping, FleaMasters Flea Market is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and is something you shouldn't miss. All I can say is, wear sneakers.
vacation rental rates
Rate includes all charges and taxes. There is a one time charge of $150 for cleaning fee.
Paypal is accepted in the USA only.

This week, there is a lot of focus on, and exposure for, the Supreme Court on same-sex marriage, but will it really matter?
Both sides in this debate want an affirmation from the court, but let's face it folks, the train has not only left the station on same-sex marriage and gay and lesbian rights, it is roaring down the tracks.

The far-left liberals in our society claim to have the best interest of everyone in mind, and yet they are the least tolerant of anyone who disagrees with them.
March 08, 2013, 06:57 pm
By Brent Budowsky
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy recently made an important and wise comment
when he said that with gridlock plaguing our political system, "A
democracy should not be dependent for its major decisions on what nine
unelected people from a narrow legal background have to say."
Considering the controversial history of recent Supreme Court decisions
regarding elections, and the pending case regarding the Voting Rights
Act, the nine unelected justices should uphold the Voting Rights Act,
which was not passed under gridlock but was passed by overwhelming
majorities of both parties, in both the House and Senate, including
those representing states covered by the act.
In my view the act should be upheld, period. For conservative justices who might be inclined to overturn the act or Section 5 of the act, I would suggest they consider that this would violate the conservative principle against extreme judicial activism. It would violate the conservative principle of avoiding political decisions. It would violate the conservative principle against the unelected judicial branch negating overwhelming agreement of the elected executive and legislative branches, which have substantially more expertise regarding free elections than those of "narrow legal background."

In countless ways, the problem of racism in America has improved. For example, much of society now accepts that black children ought to think, learn and share ideas in the same classrooms as white children. There is a logical progression — a better education leads to future possibilities and personal empowerment.
January 31, 2013, 02:30 pm
By Armstrong Williams
The civil rights movement was born out of an intense struggle to enjoy those basic human rights we associate with happiness.
Early leaders of the movement settled on the theory that American society was primarily characterized by racism and that American institutions were grounded in the maintenance of racial privilege. Many of the black politicians who were swept into office on the heels of the movement consciously embodied this organizing principle.

Recently, on one of those flat, no-wind-no-current days, we dove the Bibb. We never dive the Bibb when there is any significant current since the wreck lies on its side.
That same amount of current is fine for diving the sister ship Duane. On the Duane, there are plenty of places to hide from the current, and of course, the crow's nest is a highlight of any dive.
On the Bibb, it's all about the prop. To me, nothing says shipwreck like an exposed prop in 100 feet of water. It is interesting how different the marine population is on these two sites.
The one thing they do have in common is the vast collection of fishing tackle entwined on every part of the wreck, including the mooring lines. On this most recent dive, there was a guy fishing on the other mooring ball, and we watched him get his line hung on the wreck before we jumped in. We saw his lure hooked on the mooring line as we moved toward the prop.
I am always amused when I hear leaders from some user groups say divers do most of the damage in the sanctuary. Perhaps if a few of them jumped in the water and took a look they would see all the debris — in and out of the protected areas — of both trap gear and hook gear. There was a study released in March by NOAA and FWC on the vast amount of trap gear in the sanctuary. See the NOAA/FWC article here:http://timgimages.com/PDF/LobsterTrapDebris.pdf
Figures in this study also include observations from previous studies, documenting 10 to 12 pieces of trap debris per hectare. They estimate the total footprint of trap debris at 60 hectares (the size of Hens and Chickens SPA). When the movement of the debris across the bottom is considered, the damaged area could be as high as 868 hectares. That is the size of the Carysfort, Elbow, French, Molasses, Conch, Davis and Alligator SPAs combined.
Aside from all the derelict gear, there is a mounting pile of evidence showing that fishing pressure can affect the life-cycle development of species. This line of thought first sparked my interest when I saw the photographic study by Loren McClenachan a couple years ago. Take a look at the shrinking sizes from the 1950s to the present — the modern era day's catch is significantly different than the earlier catches.
They just don't make 'em like they used to. You can see it here: http://timgimages.com/PDF/McClenachan_09.pdf
Based on the refinement of an earlier, simple model, some Australian scientists conclude that a 25-percent evolutionary change in trait values is possible over a period of 30 generations in wild populations.
Now look at the photos in Dr. McClenachan's study again. The traits? Body size and age at sexual maturity. Smaller, younger-at-maturity specimens are now the norm in this shifting baseline. This has implications on spawning, as the removal of larger, older animals leaves younger, less productive spawning members of the population to breed. See this interesting study here: http://timgimages.com/PDF/FishingPressureEvolution.pdf
This also may slow the recovery rate if fishing pressure is reduced or stopped. Another study looked at a wider array of wild populations, emphasizing this aspect: "Nevertheless, it is likely that some undesirable changes observed over time in exploited populations (e.g., reduced body size, earlier sexual maturity, reduced antler size, etc.) are due to selection against desirable phenotypes — a process we call ''unnatural'' selection. Evolution brought about by human harvest might greatly increase the time required for over-harvested populations to recover once harvest is curtailed because harvesting often creates strong selection differentials, whereas curtailing harvest will often result in less intense selection in the opposing direction.
We strongly encourage those responsible for managing harvested wild populations to take into account possible selective effects of harvest management and to implement monitoring programs to detect exploitation-induced selection before it seriously impacts viability."
See the study here: http://timgimages.com/PDF/HumanInducedEvolution.pdf
Finally, a study of Atlantic Cod — this is perhaps one of the most well known fishery collapses of modern times — is worth the read since it deals with a species that is long-lived and slow to maturity, like many fishes in the snapper-grouper complex.
Trait changes caused by fishing pressure (smaller size, younger age at maturity) may take 20 to 30 times longer to regain than the time period in which the changes manifested. In other words, past fishing-induced evolutionary (genetic) changes may in fact be the new norm.
Their main point is full recovery to pre-harvest levels, from a genetic trait perspective, may be very slow, leading to less than expected recovery rates after the initial surge in biomass once fishing pressure is reduced. See the study here: http://timgimages.com/PDF/ImplicationsAtlanticCod.pdf
Once again, we see science that demonstrates the way we are managing our sanctuary may be leading to an unsustainable ecosystem. All user groups exert pressures that have consequences. While I agree that healthy ecosystems are resilient, how much pressure can be exerted before the resilience is not enough?
We have the opportunity to work together to make some changes. Right now, after the Key Largo meetings in March, I do not see any significant movement towards meeting the sanctuary's documented objectives of ecosystem-based management. Shame on us. Generations from now, history will be our judge.
Will we kick the can down the road, or will we develop a managed, sustainable sanctuary ecosystem that makes more cans?

Experimental programming language No. 7: Zimbu
Most programming languages borrow features and syntax from an earlier language. Zimbu takes bits and pieces from almost all of them. The brainchild of Bram Moolenaar, creator of the Vim text editor, Zimbu aims to be a fast, concise, portable, and easy-to-read language that can be used to code anything from a GUI application to an OS kernel.
Owing to its mongrel nature, Zimbu's syntax is unique and idiosyncratic, yet feature-rich. It uses C-like expressions and operators, but its own keywords, data types, and block structures. It supports memory management, threads, and pipes.
Portability is a key concern. Although Zimbu is a compiled language, the Zimbu compiler outputs ANSI C code, allowing binaries to be built only on platforms with a native C compiler.
Unfortunately, the Zimbu project is in its infancy. The compiler can build itself and some example programs, but not all valid Zimbu code will compile and run properly. Not all proposed features are implemented yet, and some are implemented in clumsy ways. The language specification is also expected to change over time, adding keywords, types, and syntax as necessary. Thus, documentation is spotty, too. Still, if you would like to experiment, preliminary tools are available under the Apache license.
Experimental programming language No. 8: X10
Parallel processing was once a specialized niche of software development, but with the rise of multicore CPUs and distributed computing, parallelism is going mainstream. Unfortunately, today's programming languages aren't keeping pace with the trend. That's why IBM Research is developing X10, a language designed specifically for modern parallel architectures, with the goal of increasing developer productivity "times 10."
X10 handles concurrency using the partitioned global address space (PGAS) programming model. Code and data are separated into units and distributed across one or more "places," making it easy to scale a program from a single-threaded prototype (a single place) to multiple threads running on one or more multicore processors (multiple places) in a high-performance cluster.
X10 code most resembles Java; in fact, the X10 runtime is available as a native executable and as class files for the JVM. The X10 compiler can output C++ or Java source code. Direct interoperability with Java is a future goal of the project.
For now, the language is evolving, yet fairly mature. The compiler and runtime are available for various platforms, including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Additional tools include an Eclipse-based IDE and a debugger, all distributed under the Eclipse Public License.
Experimental programming language No. 9: haXe
Lots of languages can be used to write portable code. C compilers are available for virtually every CPU architecture, and Java bytecode will run wherever there's a JVM. But haXe (pronounced "hex") is more than just portable. It's a multiplatform language that can target diverse operating environments, ranging from native binaries to interpreters and virtual machines.
Developers can write programs in haXe, then compile them into object code, JavaScript, PHP, Flash/ActionScript, or NekoVM bytecode today; additional modules for outputting C# and Java are in the works. Complementing the core language is the haXe standard library, which functions identically on every target, plus target-specific libraries to expose the unique features of each platform.

AUBURN — After Auburn voters rejected a school budget on June 11, the Auburn School Committee approved a smaller budget Wednesday night, cutting items like maintenance and rejecting the creation of new positions.
The second school budget proposal is $37.67 million, a 4.9 percent increase from 2012-13. The budget defeated by voters on June 11 was $38.3 million, a 6.9 percent increase from 2012-13.
The new budget doesn't move the school department forward, according to Superintendent Katy Grondin. "We're running on the bare minimum. People are working really hard to use the resources to the best of our ability to make sure the students" get the education they need, she said.
The proposed budget does not include as dramatic changes to students that committee members considered on June 12. The East Auburn Community School will not be closed, and students will not be forced into pay-to-play sports or participation in other activities.
Still in this second budget is expanding the iPad tablet computer program. Second-graders will get iPads this fall at a cost of $109,000. Kindergarten and first-grade students already have iPads, and this fall, Grades 7-12 will receive iPads instead of more costly laptop computers. Also in the budget is the position of the popular land lab teacher, Jim Chandler.
Maintenance is taking a $200,000 hit, which will leave $100,000 in the budget for maintaining six elementary, one middle, one alternative and one high school.
The school department has been criticized for not doing enough to take care of schools.
"I totally understand that," Superintendent Katy Grondin said. But putting off maintenance will help preserve programs for students, she and committee chairman Tom Kendall said Thursday.
Ward 5 School Committee member Larry Pelletier said the budget "makes sense for the spot we're in. I was not in favor of making any of the cuts. Neither is a majority of the committee." But, he said, "the people spoke."
The new budget proposal is the direction the public and the Auburn City Council gave the school department, Kendall said. "I don't think we're supportive of the fact we're not improving our position with Essential Programs and Services. It's setting us back a little."
The newest spending plan means Auburn schools are $2.2 million under Essential Programs and Services, the state formula that shows the minimum towns should spend on local education.
"We're not creating a bigger gap, but we're not filling in the gap," Grondin said. "Next year, we'll have to (make up) 33 percent of the gap," she said, referring to a new state law that says in three years, municipalities not spending the minimum under EPS will have to spend more or lose state education dollars.
Auburn's new list of spending reduction includes no layoffs. People in two jobs that are being cut, an elementary school librarian and a middle school secretary, have found other jobs in the school department.
Proposed spending which will now not happen included the addition of an elementary school nurse, two instructional coaches and a cultural broker for students from immigrant families; some course reimbursement to teachers; the replacement of the library, a school bus and textbooks; and the creation of shirts for kindergarten students, printed with their high school graduation year to promote aspiration. Travel will be cut, and there will also be a salary freeze for seven non-union administrators. That includes Grondin, whose annual $115,000 salary will be frozen.
Built into this new budget plan is $300,000 in casino revenue that Auburn is expected to receive from the state. The school department will use $170,000 of that amount to shift the costs of school police officers from the city budget to the school budget, which will slightly increase EPS spending with existing spending.
The remaining $129,000 difference will be used to reduce the burden on taxpayers, Grondin said, which will help reduce the mill rate for education by 35 cents.
"The school committee collaborated with the city to shift costs, reduced the mill rate, so we're trying to respond" to voters, Grondin said. "The community is not ready to make a larger commitment."
As planned, the second school budget will be sent to the Auburn City Council and then to voters at a July 23 referendum.

It's hoped to be one of the biggest and grandest parades of the year. But where would it be without a few floats?
Today members of the Perry 200 committee handed out more than $8500 in grants to 22 civic and non-profit organizations, all of whom submitted applications to build floats for the May 25 Grand Patriotic Parade.
The Parade is part of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie, which took place in 1813.
"Our float is based on the Flagship with sails with our logo on it," Therapy Dogs United's Bridget Buzard told us. "It's a huge paw print because our dogs put an imprint of a paw on the heart of who we visit."
Besides floats, the parade will have huge helium balloons, marching bands and military units. It's part of a summer of festivities leading up to the anniversary which is in September.

Change Canada\'s Electoral System!
Most voting systems based on the principle of proportional representation meet these objectives. FVC is calling for a national education process through which Canadians can learn about more proportional voting systems and then choose the best system through a referendum process. Our call for a national referendum has been endorsed by more than 100 political scientists from 34 Canadian universities. FVC is also endorsed by a wide and diverse range of national organizations, such as the Canadian Federation of Students, Canadian Taxpayers Federation and Canadian Labour Congress.

The Cooperstown Rotary Club will be presenting the 2013 Christopher J. Warrell Community Service Award at its annual dinner on June 26, but first needs to find a recipient.
Rotarians and non-Rotarians are encouraged to submit nominations for this award, which honors the late Chris Warrell who exemplified "Service Above Self."
Chris and Lois Warrell retired to Cooperstown in 1989 and became active in the community. Chris joined Rotary in 1990 and was quickly elected to the Board of Directors, becoming president in 1996-97. In the community he served as chairman of Board of Trustees for the United Methodist Church and oversaw major capital improvements to the building. His most consuming passion was to Bassett Hospital where he served as president of the Friends of Bassett. His administrative abilities led to his being interim director at several area non-profits, including Glimmerglass Opera, Clark Sports Center and New York State Historical Association.
According to a media release, past recipients reflect that commitment to their community and have contributed thousands of volunteer hours to food banks, local arts groups, municipal committees and area non-profits.
The award is intended to honor an individual who has consistently exhibited "Service Above Self" in a volunteer capacity. Some of the criteria to keep in mind when nominating an individual for the award are: The recipient may be a Rotarian or a non-Rotarian, the service should be volunteer in nature and not part of a paid position and the service should have occurred over an extended (years) period of time and benefited the community as a whole.
A letter outlining the nominee's service and qualifications can be mailed to Cooperstown Rotary Club, PO Box 993, Cooperstown, NY 13326 or sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for nominations is June 1.

having abs because you are skinny is like a women having tits because she's fat
I am hoping for Evan C. I love an underdog!
I've been following it all last night and will be today for sure on MD mag online . Flex took the 212 last night , looked amazing ! David Henry took second and Aaron Clark third . If Henry can ever bring up his legs , man he was shredded ! Pre-judging for the open starts at 2 pm today I believe . There was a video of Dennis Wolf training 1 day out and even through his clothes the muscle he brings was awesome . I don't know how he even finds sweats to fit with the size of his quads ?!!
Good job to Dennis. Looked great today

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The high school football season officially kicks off around the Ozarks Friday August 30th. Each year new players step up as superstars. We want to know who will be the best and help make their team the best it can be. Vote for MVP from the 10 athletes below. We will announce the winner on the O-Zone Show Friday August 30th, 11:30 pm on the Ozarks CW.
|Results will be released soon.
MVP Candidates
(Bios by Jordan Burton)
Jaelon Acklin, QB, MV-BT/Liberty - If you want to see a true dual-threat quarterback then Acklin is your man. He can beat you through the air (1,731, 21 TDs), on the ground (1,356, 22 TDs) or defensively (50 tackles, 3 picks). Also a noted return man (had a 96-yard return for TD), Acklin accounted for 3,510 all-purpose yards in leading the Eagles to the Class 2 quarterfinals before falling to eventual state champ Lamar. Acklin has picked up a handful of FCS and FBS offers.
Logan Allred, RB, Ash Grove - Allred made his presence felt in 2012 for the Pirates. As part of Ash Grove's two-headed rushing monster last year with Austin Hurst, Allred ran for a team-high 1,351 yards and 22 TDs. He had five games in which he scored three or more touchdowns, including a 61-34 win over El Dorado Springs where he found pay dirt seven times. When you mix speed and power, you get Allred.
Blayne Armstrong, QB, Marshfield - Armstrong is your prototypical pocket-passer. He's 6-foot-4 with a great arm, and under rated athleticism. In 2012 he aired it out for the Blue Jays, picking up 2,253 yards and 18 TDs. The four-year letterman returns his top two receivers and leading rusher from last year's 3-7 squad. Look for Marshfield to be much improved with another season Nick Codutti.
Bo Dean, TE/LB, Camdenton - You may not know Bo Dean yet… but you will soon enough. His senior year will be his first and last donning the Lakers' purple and white after moving from Osage, but it will likely be one to remember. Last year at Osage Dean pulled his best Tim Tebow impression, throwing for 2,947 yards and 19 TDs, while rushing for 1,513 yards and 29 TDs. Yes, Dean single-handedly accounted for 4,460 yards and 48 TDs. He also had 56 tackles and 4 picks defensively. Whether he plays quarterback, tight end, linebacker or anywhere else, Dean will be very valuable for the Lakers.
Easton Flaugh, QB, Reeds Spring - Flaugh threw a coming out party throughout the 2012 season and invited the entire COC to watch. Although he is a solid dual-threat quarterback (832 passing yards, 893 rushing yards; 19 TDs), he makes his presence most felt defensively. His 102 tackles paced a resurgent Reeds Spring squad. Flaugh also forced four takeaways (2 fumbles, 2 interceptions) despite being game planned for weekly. If Reeds Spring is to take another step forward in the battle for COC supremacy, Flaugh will be a major contributor.
Alec Murphy, RB, Nixa - What a difference a year can make. Last summer Alec Murphy was getting ready for his sophomore year of high school and adjusting to life as a 15 year old. In just 12 months Murphy has become one of the most sought after running backs in the Class of 2015. His 220 pound frame and 4.5 speed has scouts drooling, most notably Notre Dame, Florida State and the entire SEC. Look for him to have a breakout season for a Nixa squad that should make some noise in the COC-Large.
Rafe Peavey, QB, Bolivar - By now you've heard of the Liberators' standout signal-caller. Over the summer he was often the topic of debate as he continues to garner attention at the national level and famed coaches such as Urban Meyer and Charlie Strong tried to flip the Arkansas commit. Why shouldn't they, as a junior he amassed 1,872 yards through the air and another 514 on the ground to go along with 26 TDs. Had Bolivar not outscored its opponents 382-74 in their final nine games Peavey would have gotten a chance to add to his numbers.
Matt Rush, QB, Hillcrest - Rush is one of the area's most dynamic players. Think Percy Harvin when he was at Florida; you get the ball in his hands anyway possible. Last year Rush was the Hornets' leading receiver, tallying 65 receptions for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns through the air. He also racked up 273 rushing yards with five touchdowns, and is a huge threat in the return game. A move to quarterback is likely for Rush in 2013 with the loss of Jonah Hill.
Jacob Wade, QB, Strafford - We don't call him 'The Real-Deal Wade' for nothing. Wade was a man amongst boys in 2012. Through the air few did it better than Wade. His 2,094 yards and 24 TDs were impressive, but his 65% completion percentage was off the charts. At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, Wade is also a load running the ball (647 yards, 15 TDs). With his top three receivers back and a bitter taste from last year's 50-36 district semifinal loss to Liberty, ending Strafford's unbeaten season, expect the Indians to be hungry come August.
Clayton Watson, WR, Green Forest - Expectations are high in Green Forrest this year, and a lot of that is because Clayton Watson. The four sport letterman torched opponents for 660 yards on 48 catches, 10 for TDs. Defensively Watson collected 53 tackles and four interceptions. Look for the Tigers to return back to elite form return nearly their entire team from 2012's 4-6 edition.

What do you think about this tiger incident?
Original post made by Mitch on Dec 27, 2007
I can't help but feel sorry for Tatiana the tiger. After watching the news last night, the parents of the deceased boy were actually talking to reporters and actually smiling and laughing while commenting. Although I'm sure they're saddened by the loss of their son, they didn't even know where he was and didn't even know he was killed until the police contacted them. I can't help but think all they can think about right now is lawsuit, lawsuit, lawsuit and how much money they can potentially get from this case.
I'll be following this case closely. I'm in support of the zoo. Jack Hana was on KCBS this morning (former director of the Columbus zoo) and the anger in his voice about what has happened made it clearly apparent that this poor tiger had to be severely agitated in order for something like this to happen.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm tired of hearing the victim's family criticize the zoo. There are numerous reports that these idiots taunted the tiger and climbed into the enclosure, provoking the attack. Looks like Darwinism prevailed in this one. I'm sure the families will sue for millions. I hope they get nothing.

There are a lot more than 10 huge disappointments this season, so I whittled down the list by eliminating players who simply haven't played much, or at all: Jacoby Ellsbury, Evan Longoria, Chris Carpenter, Troy Tulowitzki, Mariano Rivera, and plenty of others.
Even with that, it's not easy to come up with only 10.
It's easy to come up with No. 1, though: Tim Lincecum, whose first half ranks among the most disappointing first halves since disappointing first halves were invented. He's No. 1, and all the rest just pretenders. With him out of the way, though, let's see the other nine guys who have disappointed legions of diamond fans around the world ...
Adrian Gonzalez got off to a slow start in 2011, his first season with the Red Sox. But he signed a huge new deal with the club shortly after Opening Day, and wound up seventh in the Most Valuable Player balloting. The Red Sox, who invested $154 million in Gonzalez -- not to mention the prospects they sent to San Diego to acquire Gonzalez in the first place -- seemed set at first base for many years to come.
But this year Gonzalez hasn't even been adequate. After posting a 940 OPS over the previous three seasons, this season he's at just 745, right around the American League average. Not the average for first basemen. The average for all players. Which isn't worth the $21 million he's earning this season.
Justin Upton isn't making Gonzalez money (yet) but he's supposed to have Gonzalez talent. After posting a 139 OPS+ with the Diamondbacks last season, this season the 24-year-old Upton was supposed to take the next step toward immortality. After all, he was fourth in the MVP voting a year ago, and didn't figure to have peaked yet.
Perhaps, but this season he's been merely average. Most notably, Upton's hit only seven home runs this season, compared to 31 last season. If the Diamondbacks are going to make a move, they'll need Upton to rediscover his power stroke.
Jose Reyes played brilliantly for the Mets last season, in his walk year. Everybody (except me) said, "Don't give Jose Reyes too much money as a free agent! He'll never play this well again!"
Well, the Marlins signed Reyes to a six-year, $106-million contract and no, he hasn't played nearly as well as last year. The good news, though, is that Reyes seems to have been victimized by poor luck, as he's actually hitting more line drives than he hit last year; the hits just haven't been falling in. Last year's .337 batting average (and the attendant batting title) was a mirage, of course. But Reyes has been healthy this season, and eventually the hits should start coming again.
The Phillies are paying Cliff Lee $21.5 million, and he's won one game this season.
Speaking of the Phillies, last year Shane Victorino led the National League with 16 triples; this year the Flyin' Hawaiian's got two triples. In a related story, his OPS+ has plummeted from 130 in 2011 to 84 in 2012, largely because of a .245 batting average.
If you were looking just at 2010 and '11, you might consider Rickie Weeks the most consistent player in the majors. Here were his batting lines in those years:
Weeks did strike out a huge number (184) of times in 2010, but cut that figure substantially in '11, leading one to wonder if he might still be improving.
His line this year:
Oh, and Weeks' 100 strikeouts leads the National League. Sometimes you have to get worse before you can get better, but this is sort of ridiculous.
In the absence of John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka, the Red Sox were looking to fill their rotation this spring. They brought in a number of candidates, but everyone's favorite was Daniel Bard, a dominant relief pitcher who hadn't thrived as a starting pitcher since his college days. He looked decent in spring training, though, and opened the season in Boston's rotation.
In early June, though, Bard and his 5.24 ERA were shipped back to the minors. And now he's a mess, having given up 13 runs in 14 innings.
In addition to Jose Reyes, the Marlins also signed free-agent Heath Bell last winter. They didn't give him Reyes money, but they gave him enough -- $6 million this season, and a total of $27 million for three seasons -- that the manager felt compelled to use Bell in key situations ... even while he blew save after save.
He blew four saves in the season's first month, then settled down some, but blew two more just before the All-Star break. He's got a 6.75 ERA. And so for the second time this season, Bell's being pulled from the closer's role. We'll see how long it lasts.
And finally, there's John Axford. Last year he saved 46 games. This year he's saved 15. Last year he blew two save opportunities in six months. This year he's blown five saves in three months. With three months to go.
It wasn't fair to expect Axford to repeat his phenomenal 2011 season. But if you're looking for reasons for the Brewers' disappointing 2012, Axford joins Rickie Weeks atop the list.

So I just watched The Eiger Sanction for the first time last night, and I have to admit it: I liked it! It was more realistic than some other climbing movies *cough* Cliffhanger *cough* out there. Although, I think that if I weren't a climber and a general Clint Eastwood fan, the movie would have been terrible. I loved how politically-incorrect it is. Sexism, racism, homosexualism (ok... homophobia), bigotism--all the ism's are equally represented and insulted! Cool views, old-school mountaineering boots, Wild Turkey Bourbon, hot chicks, and tons of terrible monotone Clint Eastwood one-liners. What more could one want? I caught one discrepancy though: when Clint is in training with his old climbin' buddy, Clint is supposedly leading, but there's a top-rope attached to his harness? Odd... Apparently Clint did all his own stunts though, which is cool. So now that the bug has bitten and the weather's getting more suitable for staying in to watch movies, are there any other climbing movies out there that don't totally suck?
[Hemlock saves Meier from falling off the mountain] Anderl Meier: You're very good. I have really enjoyed climbing with you. Dr. Jonathan Hemlock: We'll make it. Anderl Meier: I don't think so. But we shall continue with STYLE.
It doesn't beat the Eiger Sanction...not much does...but K2: The Ultimate High isn't bad...a few good climbing scenes, a little melodrama, and a quote from The Art of War.
If you like to actually read this kind of stuff, the guy who wrote the Eiger Sanction (Trevanian) has a really good novel in the same genre: Shibumi.
This one... www.imdb.com/title/tt0386060/trailers-screenplay-E25087-310 ROCKS!!!
The best realistic climbing movie ever was Touching the Void. As for cheesy climbing movies... -- there's the scene at the beginning of MI2 with the reverse Iron Cross move in the desert. It's totally unrealistic but very cool. -- there's a funny scene in Failure to Launch when Matthew McConaughey falls and decks while his belayer reaches for a banana. -- you gotta love Cliffhanger
Anybody seen this one yet? www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2229928217/ Its about the Huber bro's attempt at the Nose speed record. Not a work of fiction, but a climbing documentary.
The White Tower, 1950, with Glenn Ford, Claude Rains, Lloyd Bridges and the incredibly beautiful Alida Valli. Anyone who has been to Chamonix will recognize the backdrop. The Mountain, 1956, with Spencer Tracy and Robert Wagner. Both classic and old school.
Take It To The Limit! SO GOOD!
My personal favorite climbing film is �Solo� by Mike Hoover Hoover won an Emmy Award for this tale of his solo assent of a fantasy peak. He filmed �Solo� on locations in the Yosemite Valley and High Sierra. Mike wrote, filmed, climbed, acted, and produced �Solo� while studying film making at U.C.L.A. in the late 60�s. I am sure that many of you have seen this film and been as inspired to pursue the sport as I was.
Shout out to Olaf! Your name still comes up in a few climbing stories. But I digress, we could walk into the library at RIT and view Solo anytime we wanted. I must've seen it 20 times when we couldn't builder anymore. It's a classic.
K2: Not bad... But you gotta love the beginning of the movie when the "stars" climb up under a huge roof to find other climbers hanging in their harnesses from bolts... and the "stars" are standing on a huge column top... Don't know about anyone else, but given the option, I'll stand ANY day...
I second 'the mountain' with Spencer Tracy. I don't know how they did it but Spencer Tracy is really nailing granite in this movie. I similarly like when Clint is topping off on some route - he's pulling a tough mantel with a pack and you see the rock in is hand break off - the guy is tough. Also from the Eiger Sanction on top of the route where he pulled off a hold BOWMAN: Want a beer? HEMLOCK: You gonna call room service? BOWMAN: We got beer. HEMLOCK: If you hauled beer up this rock, you're insane. BOWMAN: I may be insane, but I'm not stupid. I didn't carry it, you did. It's in your pack.(Pulls a six-pack out of Hemlock's backpack.) HEMLOCK: Jesus Christ, I ought to throw you off this pillar. Besides, it's warm. BOWMAN: I'm sorry, I thought you'd draw the line at hauling ice. Ohh, so many more.. how about POPE: My superior wants to see you. HEMLOCK: Your superior? Well that doesn't narrow the field much, does it?
The Eiger Sanction rules. Yes, the toproped leading scene is busted but hey - it's filmed on some beautiful desert sandstone! I think my favorite line is from one of the Euro dudes while they are up on the Eiger: (spoken in hokey German accent) "Climbers alveys bring home zere dead" The un-PCness of the movie is remarkable (and awesome).
and tenderly puts it in his pocket...then squishes it when he takes the dramatic fall on Bishop's Balcony? Oh, no, I mean carries it down to the stream at the end of his climb? Yes, that's the one. OK, that was almost as evocative as Touching the Void. Am I remembering that right or imagining? Did he take a big fall on that aid roof? Richard, great to meet last night. Look forward to catching up.
which part of the desert, the top-roping or the leading?
Clint did most of his own stunts, but Messner was his double. Just for proper prepping Messner took Cliint and the other actors out the tunnel at the Gallery Window (on the Eiger, about 1/3 up). They stepped out on the ledge and Clint said something like " This is crazy... lets get the hell out of here, boys." It affirms him as one of my hero's even more as I think the same thing regularly. There are a few faux Pas in the film for climbers, but I think it is still the best climbing film of all time. ITs fun and they not only tried to capture the climbing but also the repoire between the climbers (Hemlock and Ben chatting while they climb). Last week I was talking with Eric Bjornstad. He told me that he is in the movie for 3 seconds. The scene where Jonathan has summitted the Pole and Ben is following on Jumars is actually Eric. George KEnnedy couldnt do that scene, so Eric pulled a hat over his face and did the jugging without looking up.
I third 'The Mountain'. Spencer Tracy climbing a chimney and it looks like it was shot on location. 'Five Days One Summer' is awesome with Sean Connery climbing routes on location in Switzerland in 30's era climbing gear. I think he puts Eastman to shame! www.imdb.com/title/tt0083947/ movies.nytimes.com/movie/17653/Five-Days-One-Summer/overview
Actually Messner had nothing to do with the film. He and Habler where on the mountain during the filming but just climbing it (in a day). The stunt and rigging was done by the guys from Leysin/ ISM... Dougal Haston, Bev Clark, Chic Scott, etc....

A Kingsport man has died as a result of his injuries he sustained in a Friday night car accident.
According to federal court documents from the Western District of Virginia in Abingdon, information about the meth ring began surfacing in April 2011 and investigators determined the trafficking began near Jan. 1, 2009.
From June 2012 until April this year, federal, state and local law officers interviewed suspects and bought meth from people who were making and trafficking meth.
One of the people arrested in "Operation Salt Vegas" this week was recorded saying he was being supplied meth from a Mexican cartel.
The 107-page criminal complaint filed Monday in federal court included transcribed text messages between some of those arrested that investigators said indicated methamphetamine transactions.
The following people were included in the federal complaint:
Charges include conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

In 2010, long-time government employee Hannah Shostack claimed she was fired because Governor Chris Christie, a Republican, had just come into power. She said she was targeted because she wasn't a member of the Republican Party.
A year later, she sued the Port Authority, stating that her supervisor told her the order to fire her came straight from Governor Christie's office. Her adviser also said there was nothing she could do to save her job.
She settled her suit against the state in June 2012. John Paff, Chairman of the New Jersey Libertarian Open Government Advocacy Project (OPRA) says that the amount of money or other terms Shostack was given by the Port Authority to settle the suit is important public info. It could tell the public whether they just paid to settle the case or if there was real reason behind what Shostack claimed. If it was settled for hundreds of thousands of dollars that indicates it could have been a real threat against the Port Authority and Governor Christie's reputation.
After requesting the settlement information, Paff received a letter from the Port Authority, denying him the information. "Daniel Duffy, the PA's records custodian, said releasing the settlement agreement would undermine a police investigations and would endanger public safety. That is the reason that he relied upon, which is complete nonsense. The investigation is over, the lawsuits been filed, the money's been paid." He said.
When Paff tried to challenge the denial in the New Jersey Superior Court, he says he was told the New Jersey Superior Court did not have jurisdiction because the Port Authority is a bi-state agency of New York and New Jersey.
Weeks after he received the letter, two superior court judges, one of which is Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno's husband, Michael Guadagno, decided in a separate case that "OPRA does not apply to the Port Authority".
Paff isn't just letting this go though. He will be filing the same lawsuit in the appellate division since the Port Authority isn't accountable to the state of New Jersey, New York, or the federal courts. The appellate division would be making the decision on allowing access to the records. "The people have the right to judge if Christie did have this woman fired. So the only way to do that is to find out the amount of this settlement agreement." Paff said.
Shostack is now working as Senior Director of Capital Programs at the Governor's office. Christie's office wouldn't comment on this, saying the Port Authority should be contacted for comment since the lawsuit is with them. The Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman never returned any requests for comment.

Paul George, historian and professor at Miami Dade College, has been giving tours of Coconut Grove since 1988. Now, in honor of its 140th anniversary, he will be conducting a walking tour of the neighborhood this Sunday.
"Coconut Grove is really one of the great places to tour," George said. "It has the parks, the bay, the bike routes and historic buildings. It's everything you would want regarding history and architecture."
The Coconut Grove Business Improvement District in collaboration with HistoryMiami, museum that highlights Miami's history, is offering the public a free historic walking and bike tour, by reservation only, to honor Miami's oldest community, established in 1873.
Among the many historical locations being covered, the Barnacle, which will be part of both the walking and bike tour, was built in 1891 and is Miami's oldest house still in its original location.
"It's still standing and in great condition," George said. "It's the most historical part of the city simply because it's still there and has lasted for more than 120 years."
Other sites in George's walking tour include the old Pan American Airways seaplane terminal and Millionaire's Row, where many wealthy locals reside.
George has been a professor for 23 years and has a passion for teaching history.
"My favorite thing about teaching it or doing these tours is the look certain people give when learning about a piece of history they had no idea about," he said. "The excitement on their faces is what makes it very enjoyable."
While George will be focusing on the history from an architectural context, Frank Schena, eco-historian, will focus more on the environmental aspects of the city's history in the bike version of the tour on Sunday, Oct. 20.
Frank Schena, originally from Massachusetts, has been working with HistoryMiami for 12 years and will teach guests about the natural history of the city.
"What's unique about Coconut Grove is that it seems that there was more of an environmental consciousness there than elsewhere in South Florida," Schena said. "There are more preserved areas because of early residents who really cared."
Part of Schena's bike tour will include riding through Alice Wainwright Park, North Grove and South Grove.
Schena will also talk about how early residents in Coconut Grove made a living.
"Because of the environment here, which is different than most other places in the country, people realized that with the different types of soil and climatic conditions, they could grow crops for profit," he said. "Once people realized what they were really doing here, they started to make money and that created more settlement here."
Schena credits his desire to conduct these tours to the combination of the natural setting and urban life in the community.
"The idea that you're in a very large city but can still see unusual plant life, coral reef fish and other animals is unique," he said. "The natural environment is often interwoven with the urban environment."

The Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce is asking its citizens what they want to see downtown. It's part of an online survey for the Rose District in Broken Arrow. The Rose District already offers a Mexican restaurant, tavern, lunch options, chocolatier, dress shops, boutiques, a bookstore and many more things.
This survey is designed to see what might be missing in the area. "What they think of downtown Broken Arrow, how often they come here, what attracts them here, and really what we can do to bring them back," says Lisa Frein, Director of Downtown development for the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Corporation
The Rose District is already bringing in new business. A developer is working with In the Raw to open a location right in the heart of the Rose District.
"We are trying to catch that 5 P.M. and after crowd to stay in Broken Arrow in downtown Broken Arrow and spend a little extra time," says William Leet, Developer Rose District LP.
The survey is available at the Chamber of Commerce web site until January 31. Frein says there is no opinion is too small for this group.
"This is their city. Their downtown and they have this opportunity for their voice to be heard about what they want to hear and see down here," says Frein.
One person will win a $100 Visa gift card for filling out the survey. All the results will be given to the City of Broken Arrow and the Downtown Advisory Board by the end of February.

"We're glad to help. The best thing we did was build this thing (Margaritaville) in Atlantic City," Jimmy Buffet took the stage with those words, then started belting out his famous tunes, christening his new Margaritaville at Resorts Casino.
The thousands of screaming fans is music to the ears of Resorts Casino CEO Mark Giannantonio.
"We are overjoyed here today."
Especially since the resorts latest gamble to attract more than convenience gamblers---appears to be paying off. The 35-year-old hotel underwent a $70-million dollar facelift. That includes $35 million used to build Landshark Beach and Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. His parrothead faithful are flocking to Atlantic City attraction that opened Memorial Day.
"I'm from Lancaster," exclaimed Buffet fan Deb Miller. "Jimmy Buffet brought me here and I came by horse and buggy," Miller laughed.
"I think it's fantastic the money they're spending for both family and adults finally, as opposed to making it just casinos and gambling."
Though gaming is still the bread and butter for casinos in Atlantic City, the CEO of Resorts Casino says the new Margaritaville and free concert is all part of a plan to get a wider group of people to DoAC.
"We're really doing this not just for Resorts but as I said to jumpstart the summer season for all of Atlantic City and for all the businesses on the boardwalk."
Officials will tell you the fortunes of Atlantic City businesses and casinos are intertwined. In late May the Division of Gaming Enforcement reported plunging first quarter operating profits for casinos. Hurricane Sandy didn't help.
Atlantic City city resorts are hoping they'll be singing a different tune soon thanks to concerts and new amenities like Margaritaville.
Already they seem to have enticed people like Steve Stone to come from his beach community in Rehoboth to the Jersey Shore.

The Steelers have hired Carnell Lake as their new defensive backs coach after he interviewed for the position last week.
Lake spent 10 years with the team as a player from 1989-98, recording six interceptions, 17 fumble recoveries, 25 sacks and five defensive touchdowns in his Steelers career; he made the Pro Bowl in four of those seasons, then for the fifth time in 1999 while with the Jaguars. Playing every position in the defensive backfield over the course of his career, Lake was consistently one of the NFL's top defenders in the 1990s and was named to the All-Decade team.
In 2009, Lake was the defensive backs coach at UCLA, his alma mater, before stepping down after one season due to family reasons. He takes over on the Steelers staff for Ray Horton, who left to become the defensive coordinator with the Cardinals.
The way we see it
Lake has great knowledge of Dick LeBeau's defensive scheme from his time playing under the coach, so he should fit right in on the staff. He will be a great asset to what is already one of the league's top defenses.
