Record: 29-6 (1 no contest overall), 14-5 in the UFC
Key Wins: Chuck Liddell (UFC 115), Wanderlei Silva 2x (UFC 147, UFC 99), Yushin Okami (UFC 72)
Key Losses: Anderson Silva 2x (UFC 77, UFC 64), Forrest Griffin (UFC 126), Vitor Belfort (UFC 103)
How he got here: I'm sure you've heard the story by now, but Rich Franklin was a former math teacher in Ohio before he caught the mixed martial arts bug and he caught it bad. He quickly realized he was pretty damn good at cagefighting and after going unbeaten in his first 12 fights, he made his UFC debut against Evan Tanner in 2003, scoring a TKO victory.
"Ace" returned to the UFC for good in 2005, demolishing former legend Ken Shamrock in the main event of the original Ultimate Fighter finale. This earned him a title shot where he not only beat Evan Tanner again but would go on to defend his championship twice.
Then of course, Anderson Silva came along. "The Spider" destroyed Franklin with brutal knees and hasn't looked back. Since losing a rematch against Silva in his hometown, Franklin has bounced around weight classes, basically fighting whoever the UFC needed him to fight and headlining pay-per-views whenever they needed someone to step in.
Franklin retired Chuck Liddell back in 2010 with a violent first round knockout despite having broken his arm in the fight and has been sidelined for well over a year after a should injury following a loss to Forrest Griffin. He was set for a bout against Cung Le originally at UFC 148, but was called away to main event UFC 147 in a rematch against Wanderlei Silva.
Franklin defeated Silva after five hard-fought rounds, and the bout against Le was rescheduled in the more appropriate setting of Macau.
How he gets it done: Franklin is one of the most active and accurate strikers in the UFC middleweight division. Expect to see Franklin try to utilize footwork in the stand-up and put constant pressure on Le. He'll be the bigger man in the cage and if he can keep Le on the defensive, he'll never give the Vietnamese-American the space he needs to utilize his signature kicking offense.
With a five round fight, Franklin needs to stay on Le and wear him down, never letting up the pace. Le is 40 years old and conditioning has been an issue for him. He's also had to deal with a bad foot injury before this fight so who knows if he was able to get in as much roadwork and cardio that he normally would. If Franklin can keep a high pace, throwing actively and making Le work, he'll make the former Strikeforce middleweight champ fade.
Cung Le
Record: 8-2 overall, 1-1 in the UFC
Key Wins: Patrick Cote (UFC 148), Frank Shamrock (Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Le), Scott Smith (Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum)
Key Losses: Wanderlei Silva (UFC 139), Scott Smith (Strikeforce: Evolution)
How he got here: Cung Le has been incredibly successful in every athletic endeavor he's ever attempted. He got into martial arts at the age of 10 with Tae Kwon Do and that's where his strong background in kicking originated. He's not a one-trick pony though. He was a solid junior college wrestler, went 17-0 as a kickboxer and was undefeated professionally in the martial art of Sanshao as well, winning several championships in that sport.
In 2006, Le transitioned to mixed martial arts, making his debut in Strikeforce and knocking out his first three opponents in the first round. After improving to 5-0, he would take on the legendary Frank Shamrock, who promised to stand toe-to-toe with him for the Strikeforce middleweight title. He won the fight after Shamrock's arm was broken from blocking a heavy kick and he had been dominant up until that point as well.
He would vacate his title to get in the movie business but after over a year away from the sport, he returned for a non-title affair with Scott Smith. In that fight, he hit Scott Smith with everything he had for two rounds but in typical Scott Smith fashion, he would score a crazy comeback knockout to hand Le his first professional defeat.
Le would avenge his loss six months later with a dominant destruction of Smith, finishing the fight with a brutal spinning back kick to the body and following up with punches. He again left for filming obligations but when the UFC purchased Strikeforce earlier this year, the possibilities of competing in the Octagon was just too much to ignore and he signed with them.
Le's Octagon debut didn't go quite as planned against Wanderlei Silva, losing via second round knockout, but he looked strong in the first round. He bounced back nicely against former title challenger Patrick Cote in his last bout, winning a unanimous decision. Now, he's slated for his first UFC main event and he'll be facing a former champion in Franklin.
How he gets it done: Cung Le needs to be aggressive but keep his distance. He's got as wide an array of kicking attacks as any fighter of all time and he's not afraid to use them. His biggest concern is keeping Franklin on the outside and if he wants to do this, his punches are not going to cut it. He'll need to use his side kicks and push kicks like a jab, keeping "Ace" in range of his other kicking attacks.
If he can keep Franklin on the outside, he'll be wide open for utilizing his spinning back kicks, roundhouse kicks and body kicks but he also needs to be looking to go high as one clean connection with a kick directed at Franklin's head could be lights out.
If Le is going to throw a punch, it should be something crazy like the spinning backfist that almost put Wanderlei Silva's lights out. He's got crazy flexibility and can actually go high with a crazy wheel kick from only a couple feet away. This is something that Franklin may not see coming despite his recent trip to Singapore to train against Le's style.
If Franklin tries to get inside, Le needs to use his wrestling and Sanshao background to pummel under, get some underhooks and either push off, back away or even slam him to the canvas with authority. Time is not on Le's side so he has to try to get in as much offense as he can early and if he hurts Franklin, he can't give him even a smidgen of an opening.
Fight X-Factor: The biggest X-Factor for this fight is conditioning. Le is used to finishing fights quickly and he's a very aggressive first round fighter, but he's been known to fade. In both of his career losses, he got in a ton of offense early and then wilted. Those were three round fights. In a five round fight, Le is going to have to fight an extremely measured approach if he wants to potentially last all 25 minutes. That will not be easy against one of the most active fighters with the best conditioning in the UFC like Franklin.
Bottom Line: This fight is going to be very entertaining for as long as it lasts. Franklin is not going to give in and neither will Le. Both men are aggressive, throw with power and Le's wild offensive attack is always exciting. Whether this fight lasts 25 minutes of 25 seconds, it should be very fun. Expect a knockout at some point from one of these men. It's very unlikely this one goes the distance.

ESSEX — A 40-year-old Essex man is facing an animal cruelty charge for shooting a dog with a pellet gun the night of Nov. 28.
Sgt. Paul Francis said the charge has been filed against Kirby Crestin, of 77 Wood Drive.
Francis said the dog survived, and is believed to be in stable condition. Police are continuing to investigate the case.
An Ipswich resident faces several motor vehicles charges, including operating under the influence, after police say the car she was driving narrowly missed hitting a cruiser parked on John Wise Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. Friday.
Police said Chelsea Gagnon, 21, was arrested on charges of speeding, impeded driving, operating under the influence of alcohol and a marked lane violation.
On Wednesday, at 7:46 p.m., Dennis Gannett, 62, of Essex was arrested on a charge of operating under the influence of alcohol and a marked lane violation. Gannet was stopped on Martin Street by an observing officer.
Two calls to a Winthrop Street residence kept police busy on Tuesday.
At 1:19 p.m., the resident reported an "unwanted guest" was trying to enter the house. When police arrived, the guest was gone.
Shortly after, around 3:30 p.m., police received another call and responded again for the same reason. This time, officers informed the intruder to leave the premises or face a possible arrest. The person left immediately.
On Thursday, at 4:45 p.m., police and firefighters responded to a fire alarm on Island Road, but found that the alarm had been set off by accident.

Montserrat Flores was visiting family in Storm Lake over the holidays when she became gravely ill.
She needed a liver transplant, but because she's from Mexico, she couldn't get on the transplant list.
Her aunt and uncle adopted Montserrat, which opened the door to getting the liver she needed.
When her condition took a turn for the worse, she was moved up on the transplant list, and last Thursday, she had the live-saving operation.
Her aunt Gracie Vrieze says Montserrat is doing very well.
She turned 20-months on Saturday.

"Holy windfall, Batman!" The Batmobile just sold for $4.2 million.
The original 19-foot-long black, bubble-topped car used in the 1960s "Batman" TV show sold at auction Saturday.
The Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. in Scottsdale revealed the selling price, but says the winning bidder has not been disclosed.
The car's owner - auto customizer George Barris, of Los Angeles - transformed a 1-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into the sleek crime-fighting machine. It boasted lasers and a "Batphone" and could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks.
The iconic car was used by Adam West who starred as the Caped Crusader and by Burt Ward, his sidekick Robin known for exclamations beginning with -"Holy."
"It was one of the most exciting moments we've ever had at Barrett-Jjackson. Just the way it entered..the feeling and the emotions in the tent..was just something that was really hard to capture at home on TV," said Barrett-Jackson Auction Company Chairman and CEO Craig Jackson.
Almost 1,400 cars were sold this past week and set two world records.
Barris' publicist says his client is pleased with the auction result.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - The City of Cleveland is spending $2.5M to equip recycling bins with microchips in an attempt to become more green.
Many Cleveland residents think this is a waste of money.
The City of Cleveland is going to give each household two different garbage cans. One for rubbish, one for recyclables. It will have a micro-chip in it and the City of Cleveland says if you're not recycling... they're going to know it and you're going to get busted.
This is all part of the automated trash collection system. Micro-chips will be placed in both your recyclables bin and your waste bin. That chip generates a report that tells the city how efficient their waste collection people are. But it will also tell them if you're using your recyclables bin. If you're not, they'll go through your garbage.
If more than 10% of your garbage has recyclables mixed in, wham, you get a $100 fine. The city says this will save money in the long run.

Too right. I only said that we are being "treated" like BETA testers. Not that we should BETA test firmwares. I think people here quite like that idea because of what nokia has reduced us to... Desperation.
Nobody wants to pay for the latest and greatest phone only to then suffer the errors and problems that we have.
Atleast we all agree on one thing which is that the N97 is far from acceptable in its current form.

dear NOKIA you should pay us as a BETA TESTERS.
I am spending all day with the phone trying to make it work, but doing a lot of other stuff.. so please use us as a beta testers and pay as a regular salary. It will no be a full time job but 200 quit a month would be nice.. I have this phone from the premiere date so I have earned for a new n900, Nokia keep the rest of my salary, just post me a new n900, if it will be full working model fine, if not I can do some beta testes for you for another 200 a month.

Whatever your "gripes" are, with the N97, I wouldn't bother trying to expect Nokia to make any official reply!
They simply AREN'T INTERESTED.
The ONLY thing which may make them (encourage them) to make any form of response, would be litigation.
There are MANY forums, including NOKIAs OWN forum, where customers have problems in one form or another (and NOT just "wish lists"). They are mostly fundemental problems like some which have been described here, along with the GPS being "out" by 200 yards (that's 600 foot). And Nokias' response?? Nothing.
Great PR from a company which used to be a flagship mobile phone supplier.
Even when the "dedicated N97 support line" is called, they have no answers either, except for "knee jerk reaction".
Nokia have certainly slumped from the position in the market. But hey, we're only a tiny percentage of users who actually wish their voices to be heard.

As my name states this is my last one. I've had the N95 and the 5800Xpress so I chose to get the new one(97)
and I'm sorry I did. As many of you have waited and waited for the promised 2.0 my device has just gotten slower and slower. I can't even stand the browser anymore..Thank God for Opera mini 5. I paid $750.00 for this phone and can not see spending that again for any Nokia product.
21-10-2009 0:35
I am sorry for anyone who has bought the N97, and is waiting for this V20 update, you should have done you're research before you bought such an expensive piece of kit!
You could have come on here first, I have been a Nokia owner for years now, and I have experienced this problem with updates been delayed, rumours floating around etc etc..........
Nokia should get it right the first time with a new product, thus saving thousands of consumers having beleived they have wasted hundreds of pounds on a brick!!!!!!!.........
It is about time we voted with our feet and boycotted Nokia, until they can get their hardware and software engineers (who are paid too much) to start talking to each other, before they release such an expensive mobile phone to the unsuspecting public.
But like I have already said, they keep doing it, and we keep buying their mobiles, they know fine well that the longer they dangle the carrot, the less likely we will complain if the update is still rubbish, knowing we will just be glad it is here!
Enough said, come on Nokia, stop treating us like idiots and treat us with the respect we gave you to make you into the worlds largest mobile phone manufacturer !!!
A very upset and annoyed Yorkshire Man

who cares its only a firmware update? mine works fine on v12.0.024 a few minor bugs but i can live with it for now. there really is no rush for the v20 just let the engeneers do their job instead of screaming at them, ket them do their job so they can release firmware when its good and ready, instead of answering the same questions 100 times over from people on the forum.
i moved from iphone and it made me realise just how much better the nokia is..
take your time nokia and cant wait to see the new firmware ...
then we will see which areas of th globe get the update first

OMg i just got two software update messages from my nokia and i plugged my phone in and it's still V12..
i dont get it
it says
Your device already has the latest supported software no update needed.
Please note that your mobile service provider may not have approved the latest nokia device firmware
21-10-2009 9:14 - edited 21-10-2009 9:15
Please get this release out ASAP! Nokia you don't realise how damaging this product is to your brand.
I've always owned Nokia phones, I had the N95 as soon as it came out and marvelled at the technology. My company provides me with any free handset I want, so I had a choice of upgrading from the N95 to the iPhone. I resisted because of the iTunes Store and the general practice of only being able to get my apps from one place.
I avoided the iPhone, the 3G/3GS and waited patiently for the N97.
The N95 inspired me and wowed me - the initial bugs I could cope and live with since it was cutting edge technology at the time.
The N97 (in its current form) makes me angry because it doesn't offer anything over the competition - and the massive, massive downside is the user interface which seems to have had no real world testing or QA whatsoever. Its so frustrating to use - and really annoying to live with.
@Nokia: your recent announcement to go with Maemo instead of Symbian is great for new customers, but bad news for N97 customers. I believe that any Symbian updates will be take a back seat and your priorities are now with developing a new OS and apps - rather than fixing your flagship product.
It's simply not acceptable, I feel like I've made a very bad decision in which phone to purchase - and the adverts on TV make the N97 out to be a slick easy to use device - which couldn't be further from the true.
I do not want *another* version of Maps where you change the buttons and interface.
I do not want NGAGE games and applications
I do not want another music player or content syndication app
I want a phone which is capable of doing is basic functions well first, and then being awesome second.
That means
Don't crash when trying to send a text
Don't take 5 seconds to show a text message
Don't save the text mssage im writting to drafts when i need to read a new one first
Don't take 3 seconds to update the screen when I tilt
Dont tilt the screen when I pickup the phone to answer a call and make me chase buttons and wait for the screen to update
Don't ask me if I want to make a Video call when my operator doesn't support this
Don't require 2 taps to select some option and 1 tap to select others
And a billion other usability failures I'm sure you're well aware of but wont spend the time and money on fixing

Speakerphone problems: The phone is completely useless when used as a speakerphone. And, there are a lot of users that experiences this!

I drop out all the time. They only hear parts of my voice, as if I should be in a place whit no connection whit my network operator. When the phone is used normally, not as a louspeakerphone, this problem never occurs. I HOPE that this issue is fixed in the 2.0 firmware!
so do i, this hardware is the crappest functioning phone ive ever owned, and i have owned the one you can buy from car phone warehouse for £5. the n97 cant take or make calls properly, its the sadest excuse for a phone to have ever risen in the whole time of mobile telemarketing.

Joe Jamail Is Richest Practicing Lawyer, But Not the Richest Law Grad
Posted Sep 28, 2010 7:18 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Houston litigator Joe Jamail is 269th on the Forbes 400 list, but he's No. 1 in another category. With a net worth of $1.5 billion, he's the nation's richest practicing lawyer.
The 84-year-old trial lawyer was his usual blustery self when Forbes interviewed him about his latest win on behalf of the Museum of Fine Arts in a will contest. "The jurors came back in 37 minutes," Jamail told the magazine. "A TV reporter asked me, 'How come they took so long?' I said they had to unwrap their goddamn sandwiches."
The American Lawyer notes Jamail's ranking and did a little more digging. According to its "painstaking analysis," 37 Americans on the Forbes 400 have law degrees, although most accumulated their fortunes outside of law practice. Jamail, it turns out, is the nation's 24th richest law grad.
Other lawyers on the list include five members of the Pritzker family, including one who is No. 252 on the list and another who is tied with Jamail; Wal-Mart heir S. Robson Walton, who is No. 9 on the list; former Enron president Richard Kinder, who is No. 51; and investor Samuel Zell, who is No. 60. The American Lawyer's full list of America's 37 richest law grads is available here.
Joe Jamail was featured in the ABA Journal's March 2009 Lions of the Trial Bar cover story featuring seven top litigators over age 70.

Two basketball tidbits on a chilly Philly Friday:
- Freshman transfer (out of Gonzaga) Keegan Hyland — the one who was spotted on campus getting a tour from the Penn coaching staff — just committed to play for the Fairfield Stags. You know, the ones now coached by former Princeton head-man Sydney Johnson.
- First-year Cornell coach Bill Courtney may not be long for Ithaca. This one's very preliminary, but here's the theory, as per the Washington Post: George Mason coach Jim Larranaga is bound for Miami to take over the Canes' opening (You know, the one that Harvard coach Tommy Amaker was in talks for, but turned down). That leaves the Mason job open — and the Post's Matt Bonesteel (awesome last name...) lists the Big Red's Courtney as a possible replacement. Courtney was an assistant to Larranaga at Mason for eight years, and was key in recruiting the Patriots' 2006 Final Four team. I wouldn't take much from his one season at Cornell (seeing as there is a major vaccum of talent after last year's senior class left), but as the head coach there, he compiled a 10-18, 6-8 Ivy record. For what it's worth, he was able to beat Penn both times around this year.

My husband and I joined the Silver Shadow this past June. It was our first time on the Shadow, but certainly not our first cruise with Silversa and in Alaska.
At first we were a bit concerned with the weather, but what can one do about that. The food was as always fantastic.
Although there were several crew members going above and beyond, we could not help but notice a slight decline in over all service in the dinning rooms. We also did not care for the Cruise director, Ron Goodman. He did not come across as either friendly, helpful, or sincere. The Concierge was very nice as was the International Hostess and Maitre d' along with several others as I mentioned above.
We were also disappointed in the entertainment. We had heard through the "sea grapevine" that one of the production cast members broke their leg and, therefore, was unable to do their shows to their best. The other entertainment, with the exception of the tenor, John D. Smitherson, was about average. John, however, had a wonderful two shows and was a pleasure to talk with off the stage.
Luckily the weather changed for the better as our cruise progressed and as a whole we enjoyed our cruise.

Callahan House
312 Terry Street
Longmont, CO 80501
Kathy Korpela
Callahan House
312 Terry Street
Longmont, CO 80501
Kathy Korpela
T.M. Callahan was born in Chillicothe, Illinois in 1857. Although trained as a teacher, in his early years he was an itinerate photographer. In his travels he spent time in Humansville, Missouri where he fell in love with the banker's daughter, Alice. He married Alice Barnett in 1886. Together they moved West to Longmont in 1889 and opened a small dry goods store on Main Street called "The Golden Rule". Their only child, Raymond, was born in Longmont in 1894.
As his business prospered, with Alice by his side, he expanded into general merchandise, and he began training his clerks in management. With his staff of well-trained clerks as managers, he opened the "Golden Rule" stores throughout the Rocky Mountain states and Pacific Coast states.
One of Mr. Callahan's employees went on to national fame. J.C. Penney took
a job with Callahan after his butcher shop failed. Penney worked with Callahan
from 1899 to 1907. He opened his first store in partnership with Mr. Callahan
in Kemmerer, Wyoming. This would later become one of his chain stores. The
first store under the J.C. Penney name was in Longmont, Colorado
The Callahan House was built in 1892 by James Wiggins for J.K. Sweeny. The two-story red brick structure, detailed with Lyons sandstone corners and sills, had four rooms on each floor and a full basement.
T.M. Callahan purchased the house in 1896. As part of the purchase price, Callahan, an investor in a lumber mill, shipped seventeen train carloads of white pine lumber from Birch Tree, Missouri to Pueblo, Colorado. Sweeny used the material in the construction of a flourmill.
After buying the home from Sweeny, a number of modernizations were made by
contractors E.G. Cauble and Frank Wiggins, including a hot water system, central
heating system, electricity and indoor plumbing, along with new paint or wallpaper
throughout the house.
In 1906 another phase of rehabilitation began with a two-story addition to the east side of the house, which doubled the size of the home. The bathrooms and kitchen were tiled with ornate and patterned tiles in the floor and on the walls. The original kitchen became the formal dining room and a new kitchen with butler's pantry was part of the addition. In the southeast corner of the first floor was an office for T.M. Callahan with a private outside door for his business associates to enter.
The final phase of the transformation was carried out by interior designers from Chicago. Ceiling plaster, floral and fruit wall paintings, ornate carved woodwork and parquet inlaid designs in the floors and hallways were among these design additions.
Features of the Callahan House
In 1906, Alice Callahan purchased the lot to the south from the widow of Dr. Jones and had the small house removed to create a formal Italianate garden. The garden plan was designed by a Chicago firm and a Boulder landscape gardener implemented the plan. The garden features an electric lighted fountain with Pan featured in the masonry. The four statues are of Baccus and Artemis and the garden lot and home has wrought iron fencing with three gates. Alice also purchased a 30 foot strip of land from the Flanders lot to the north of the house. It was, at that time, the largest private yard in the city limits. Over the years the city has been granted historical monies for fountain and iron work restoration. Today the Callahan House garden is the only city garden in Longmont with a fountain. The grounds are still maintained by the City of Longmont's Parks Department.
In April of 1902 the Callahans purchased the first automobile in Longmont. In December of the same year the Callahans built an "automobile house." Built into the garage floor was a turntable. This allowed the driver to leave the building without putting the car in reverse. Since T.M. Callahan did not drive, his chauffeur was provided a second floor apartment in the "automobile house".
In the summer of 1904 workmen began work on the wrap-around veranda along the west and south sides of the house. The special concrete work gave the porch a very distinctive Victorian appearance. In some of the earlier photographs, sun shade awnings were located at every window.
The house and garden were presented to the City of Longmont in 1938 by the
Callahan family. It was intended to be used as a meeting place and social
center for the women of the Longmont community.
To preserve, maintain and promote the Historic Callahan House for the use and enjoyment of the Longmont community...creating memories and providing a legacy for the future.

The Cowboys will reportedly work out and eventually sign RB Sammy Morris as a backup to Felix Jones after losing rookie DeMarco Murray to a fractured ankle.
ESPN Dallas reported that the Cowboys will bring Morris in for a workout on Tuesday and plan to sign him.
An 11-year veteran, Morris is a free agent and had a workout with the Chiefs earlier this season. Morris played in all 16 games last season for New England and rushed for 56 yards. He rushed for 727 yards with the Patriots in 2008.
Murray suffered the ankle injury in the first half of Sunday night's loss to the Giants, and Jones is the only other back on the team's active roster. Murray rushed for 897 yards this season.

EQUIPMENT REVIEW-LaMarzocco GS-3
Right now I think it is fair to say that the espresso machine world is in the midst of a revoloution. The march toward the stabilized brewing water temperature, employing digital controls and improved group head designs, is no longer the sole domain of Synesso and LaMarzocco. That means I may not be aware of excellent equipment that is on the market and I can no longer state that something is "the best".
Now that I have done my back-pedaling I can say that the Lamarzocco GS-3, marketed as a home machine, is a very, very good espresso machine. It is capable of perfect espresso, making a Northern Italian roast such as Vivace's, taste sweet, and brings out the varietal flavors with incredible fidelity to the fragrance. With the GS-3 I can taste the hoppiness of a Brazil or the blueberry of a nice Harrar in my blends. (It has been my pleasure to brew my morning coffee on this machine for about a year now.) And, it plugs into a standard 110V outlet and requires no plumbing.
The steamer is capable of rolling the milk in a 1/3L pitcher, producing perfect foam in enough quantity for a true cappuccino. Order the "fine" tip.
The machine is high-stylin' and looks vaguely 1950's retro as LaMarzocco has been doing for awhile. I like the look. And, like all LaMarzocco machines, it is built to last.
As I said above, the brewing system is very good. It uses a dedicated boiler with PID control, and a very improved group-head designto bring all that stability to the coffee bed. The machine is easy to fill and has a removable drain tray that holds at least a liter.
Drawbacks..the machine is annoying at times. The control buttons are tiny and frequently do not engage without a focused attempt, which is in short supply at 5am. And, it buzzes and rattles due to the internal pump.
Now that Franke is out of the picture I can wholeheartedly recommend this machine with LaMarzocco's excellent domestic distributors ready to stand behind your purchase.

A second mosquito taken from collection traps in Middleton near the Danvers Water Treatment Plant has tested positive for West Nile virus, that town's Board of Health has announced, and further mosquito-spraying is slated to take place on Tuesday.
The results were recently confirmed by a laboratory, according to the statement from Director of Health Derek Fullerton. A mosquito taken from the same area of Lake Street had previously tested positive for the virus earlier this month, ending a years-long string of negative test results in that area.
The New England Massachusetts Mosquito Control Management District plans to spray a triangular swath around Middleton Pond on Aug. 27, beginning at sunset, though that depends on the weather, officials said.
The finding is the latest in a sweeping series of positive tests in cities and towns that essentially circle Cape Ann, and while there have been no positive tests in any of Cape Ann's towns, only Manchester has signed on with the mosquito control management district to have mosquitoes there trapped for sampling.
Neither Gloucester, Essex, nor Rockport are part of the district, and thus are not part of its trapping or spraying program.
To date, however, pools of mosquitoes in Salem, Beverly, Peabody, Marblehead, and up in Salisbury have been confirmed as having a presence of West Nile Virus in mosquitoes.
Farther north, the town of Salisbury has ordered insecticide to be sprayed tonight in the Bridge Road, Ferry Road and Dock Lane section of town due to the discovery of a mosquito with the West Nile being found in that area, while Amesbury Mayor Thatcher Kezer has ordered a targeted spray in the Lake Attitash area of Amesbury after two infected mosquitoes were found in Merrimac in the Bear Hill Road area, which borders Amesbury.
Across the state, there have not been any confirmed reports of West Nile Virus in humans this summer, but a woman in her 80's in Norfolk County died after contracting Eastern equine encephalitis, which is also carried by infected mosquitoes, and was responsible for two North Shore deaths last year.
Health officials across the region, including on Cape Ann, have urged residents to take the usual steps in preventing exposure to the disease. Those include:
Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that take place at dusk or down, when mosquitoes like to feed;
Wear long-sleeve shirts and pants when outdoors;
Always use repellent;
Drain any standing water on your property. It gives mosquitoes a place to breed.

Welcome To Screamscape!
If you're a theme park lover or enjoy the best thrill rides the world has to offer, you've found the right place.
From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
DARIEN LAKEBuffalo, New York (Abbreviation: DL) Known as Six Flags Darien Lake (1999 to 2006)Owned by CNL Lifestyles PropertiesManaged by Herschend Family Entertainment
Park News - (8/21/14) A reader visiting Darien Lake reports that the Scrambler is now back up and running in the park, located in a new spot near between the entrance to Ride of Steel and Predator. (7/17/14) Darien Lake has put up a banner in the park that says "Welcome back Scrambler. We've missed you!" According to Screamscape sources the park's Scrambler is likely to return to action sometime in August. (4/15/14) Screamscape sources tell us that the likelihood of the Cuda' Falls being moved to another park or rebuilt anywhere is slim to none. They were said to be in poor shape anyway, with a structure built to the unique terrain of the Darien Lake site, which would make it nearly impossible to install them, as is, anywhere else. (4/14/14) Local sources report that the Cuda' Falls slide complex has been carefully removed from Darien Lake, and the pieces piled up in the parking lot, seeming to be ready for shipment off to a new home. Anyone have any ideas where it may be going? I've heard at least one theory but I'm not sure I believe it just yet. (2/1/14) The popular Color Me Rad 5K race will take place at Darien Lake on June 21st. Expanded to allow for 10,000 racers this year, they will run through the park grounds while "Color Bomb Squad" members take careful aim at the racers along the way along the course. Click here for details. (8/19/13) While we've been focused on Darien Lake's proposed Lake Monster project, it
2014 - Nik Wallenda Show - Confimed - (2/13/14) Nik Wallenda, the infamous High Wire Walker will come to Darien Lake with his family to put on a 60-minute daily show (twice daily) from June 23 through Sept. 1 (dark on Mondays).
???? - Sidewinder - Planning - (7/26/13) According to a reader, they received a different survey from Darien Lake over the past week that didn't mention the Lake Monster at all, but instead talked about added a Giant Frisbee ride to the park, to be called Sidewinder. If they move on both of this, would this mean two new rides for 2014, or perhaps Sidewinder for 2014 and Lake Monster for 2015 instead? I suppose it is worth mentioning that the survey about Sidewinder came to them over this past weekend, just a day or so after the tragic death took place at Six Flags over Texas, which makes me also wonder if Lake Monster may take a back seat until the SFOT investigation is over.
???? - Lake Monster - Planning - (12/4/13) The latest word on the proposed Lake Monster / Predator transformation project is that it's officially dead for 2014… but may be revisited for the 2015 season, so cross your fingers. (10/21/13) According to the latest gossip from Screamscape sources, Darien Lake and Herschend are ready to go ahead with the new Lake Monster conversion of Predator. The hold up comes from CNL, as they are the actual park owners… HFE is just on board to manage and run it for them. So the ball is in CNL's court right now to approve the project and provide the funding while the quickly closing window to get it open for 2014 is still there. (8/16/13) A reader at Darien Lake spotted some interesting things taking place around Predator. Several of the coaster's footers have now been sprayed with bright orange paint. A man was also spotted on site doing some site survey work… but even more interesting was what appeared to be a GCI logo on the back of his shirt. Could GCI be the one's behind the transformation of Predator? Things just got interesting (8/15/13) According to the local news the local planning board met last Thursday and recommended approval for plans Darien Lake has submitted for a complete renovation to The Predator wooden coaster. The plans call for "re-tracking and adding new unique elements and trains." However the renovation will not change the size of the ride's footprint. (7/23/13) A reader contacted Screamscape to report that the proposed Lake Monster coaster at Darien Lake may actually be a rebuild of the park's Predator coaster. According to our reader, "During the WNYCC Holiday Party in January, near Buffalo, Bob Montgomery spoke of some major changes coming to Predator. He said that all that might be left of the original is the station and lift hill, and that it would likely go over the lake. This must be what you're now reporting. At the time Bob didn't say which company would be chosen for the project, but did note that several now use steel structure, which may or may not happen. Who knows what the final coaster will be, but it is exciting news." Given that Darien Lake is now run by Hershend who just opened Outlaw Run by Rocky Mountain Coasters to rave reviews, I can't help but think that RMC is their first choice. Don't look for this to be an I-Box Hybrid project like Texas Giant and Iron Rattler however, I'd bet on this using RMC's Topper Track system like Outlaw Run, which would also keep the Lake Monster's status as a true wooden coaster. Stay tuned!

Poured into a white wine glass for tasting.
Appearance: Thick, creamy head with large bubbles. Pours a dark, pellucid brown.
Aroma: Sweet malt smell with an earthy roasty presence and hints of caramel.
Taste: Some dark roasted flavor and a lightly sweet malt taste. Overall mild for a porter.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, much lighterbodied than I would expect of a porter.
Drinkability: Good, added complexity would help here but you could drink this all night if you didn't have any other good beers.

Part of some beer gift pack given to me.
A: Dark, ruby color. Some bubbles, no head.
S: Feint roasty, not alot going on here.
T: Eh. A little molasses, not much else. Not a flavor burst.
M: Hard to call this one a porter. Medium bodied, if that.
D: Avoid.

This was one of the samplings from a gift pack for american beers. Glad that it was a gift.
Appearance - nice brown color, low carbonation & head is gone before you know it. It has a clear appearance & looks good enough to bring you in for a taste.
Smell - This is more malts then hops. Sweet smelling, chocolaty and roasty.
Taste - The flavor is sweet, but not overly sweet. Definitely needs more buttering, but not horrible. The sweetness from the brown sugar & the malts comes throughout and that is well balanced, but the lack of the bitter at the end of the sip makes the beer seem to fall flat .
Mouthfeel - The beer has a watery yet smooth body. It does feel flat due to lack of carbonation and wateriness, but would be constant with the feel of this era brewing (1799 AD).
Drinkability - The beer is a easy drink from start to finish. Would I search this beer out, no, but depending on choices or if I was gifted this pack again I know that I would drink this first.

My brother hooked me up with the Beer's of America set...
A - Nice creamy head from an aggressive pour into a Guinness glass. A clear deep brown body lies beneath.
S - Aroma is...beery. Mild chocolate nose, smells more like a brown ale than a porter at least by today's standards.
T - Thin body but reasonably good chocolate and coffee flavor, again more in line with an American Brown than a porter to me.
M/D - Thin body but not watery. Easy to drink, not the most complex, innovative, or style accurate brew but not bad. It may reflect what a porter was like at the time, in the area.

Clear russet with amber highlights, pretty light colored for a porter. Creamy light tan head that quickly fades to a skim and leaves little lace behind on the glass. Light toasted grain and brown sugar are detected in the mild nose. Brown sugar, bubblegum and a touch of toasted malt. This beer is way undermalted for the style, it's more Oktoberfest than porter. Light, watery and fizzy. This beer is just not very good.

Review from notes on 9/15/09
A - poured very dark brown with a clear garnet hue in the light. Nice foamy beige head of 1.5" in the tulip. Decent rings of lace. 3.5
S - very faint, light roasted malts and a hint of caramel. Not much improvement after warming up. 2.0
T - caramel, toasted biscuits, hint of coffee aftertaste, otherwise quite clean. A bit lacking all around. 2.0
M - Thin for a porter. Highly carbonated. 2.0
D - decent, I probably won't get this again but it has its place at a bbq... 3.0
Overall - This is a bland, fizzy, and all around useless beer. Pretty sad when it's the best one out of the entire mix pack of "History of American Beer".

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours a very dark ruby red almost brown with a one finger tan foamy head. This porter has a pretty decent head retention and good lacing. I pick up some malt and a slight sweet smell. It has a very similar smell to many of the other Minhas beers. None of the flavors in this beer are overwhelming. It has very good balance. Has some roasted flavors and just a little hop flavor. It has a pretty smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. For the most part, I like this beer. I would have it again.

A: Pours a dark chestnut brown, with a small head of off white/grey bubbles.
S: Pale malt, caramel malt, and a bit of roasted malt. Acidic sourness can also be noticed.
T: Fruity (yeast?) flavour, with a light malt backbone, finishing dry. Slightly sour, light nuttiness.
M: Very watery, low carbonation.
D: This was very interesting to try once.

5th of 6th beers from this Historical Beers of America pack.
Pours a clear copper color with about one finger of light tan head. This is a porter? Very light color for a porter. Only keeps a thin lace and not much more.
Smells of sweet, buttery caramel and toffee. No roasted aroma to speak of, nor any hops. It's not offensive, although it's not very appealing either.
Taste is even less appealing. It's sweet and not much else, with buttery caramel and a touch of honey. Nose smelled more like toffee but I don't get that here. Also a touch of grain and a metallic quality. Bleh.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and the sweetness is a bit cloying, a bit sticky. Carbonation is advanced enough to keep it from being too much of a trainwreck.
I often think that porter is a style that's hard to screw up. It's dark enough that you can hide flaws relatively easily, and doesn't demand a ton of flavor or complexity. This, however, is a lousy one. In keeping with my thoughts about the other beers from this box, I'm glad that beer in America has progressed to where we are now.

Piedmont Porter
poured from a very interesting bottle with a parchment style label with a weird looking bird announcing that 'freedom is brewing'.
tis light red with amber at the bottom, this doesn't look too much like a porter. a tiny little head came up with some aggressive pouring but faded out quickly.
smell of light roasts and dirty water. and that's pretty much it.
tastes of slightly roasted nuts, taste is followed by the dirty water/metal/diacetyl taste that seems to be the theme in the beers of america pack. overall this is a dull beer. the slight roasted notes are the only thing similar to a porter i can detect, but it's ruined by its other qualities.
mouthfeel slick and watery, not much carbonation. not satisfying at all. drinkability okay i guess. it's not completely horrible, it's bearable. but it's nowhere near a porter. reminds me of a coca-cola, really.
i would use the words 'watery' 'roasty' and 'indistinguished' for this beer.

One of the beers from the Beers of America Historical Beer Collection.
A: Pours a somewhat clear tannish color leaning towards light orange-red. Not much head except for a thin, white ring.
S: Generally fresh with hints of roasted sweet malts.
T: Strong sweet malt flavor with some diacetyl, citrusy hops and a faint roasted character. This would serve as a nice, heavier American Wheat ale, but this is definitely not a Porter in the conventional sense of the style.
M: Somewhat thin with medium carbonation.
D: It was drinkable enough, but nothing about this beer said Porter to me.

Presentation: This is one of six beers from an eighteen pack labeled Beer of America, Historical Collection. The 18 pack also came with a nice book titled, The History of Beer in America. It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. There appears to be no freshness date on the bottle.
Appearance: The body has a medium brownish/red color with a very clear appearance and visible carbonation. This seems very odd to me for the style. On top is a thin white head that quickly fades out to just a wispy thin ring of bubbles that makes no lacing at all.
Smell: Its aroma has hints of lightly roasted sweet malt and metallic/salty minerals with a touch of leafy hops.
Taste/Palate: There is a big buttery grain flavor with some lighter hints of roasted malt. The malt up front has modest sweetness is lightly balanced by some mineral/leafy hop flavor and mild bitterness. Into the finish there are some citrus orange peel and salty metallic notes. The body is light to medium with a slick fizzy texture.
Notes: There is nothing about this beer that reminds me of porter. The color seems to light, the flavor is to light and boring. There is no head retention at all and it has that same salty/metallic/diacetyl taste I found in all the others beers in this mixed pack. The best part of this 18 pack is the book that came with it.

Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a finger worth of tan that than disappears to almost no lace. The body of the brew was the typical black for a porter.
Aromas' of roasted malts and a light coffee smell filled my nose. The flavor is rather subdued too a little watery not to much in the way of roasted malt flavor. The mouthfeel is rather light for a porter as well, good carbonation though.
It is drinkable it goes down really fast not what I expect in a porter as well. Really not to impressed with this brewery. Oh well live and learn

A solid heavy brown color with a modest dusty tan head that erodes quickly into a ring and very little sign of lacing. The aroma is licorice charcoal and molasses raisin. Interesting. The taste brings more charcoal molasses and caramel malt. Not a bad flavor although the feel is a bit too aqueous. It does offer a refreshingly fine carbonation and is very drinkable. There's a vague touch of prune-like alcohol but it's obviously not high in alcohol. Near the end I even detect a slight dark chocolate effect. Overall, for a thin, drinkable porter this was pretty good. Suitable for most any occasion! My bottle actually specifies the brewery name as "MD II" which may account for my higher than average rating here somehow. I should also note that this has been in my fridge for well over a year, maybe aging did the trick?

Fireworks go on sale in Fillmore, banned in rest of county
A combination of dry brush, a hot summer and fireworks can be a lethal mix.
The National Fire Protection Association estimates 15,500 fires were started by fireworks in 2010, leading to eight civilian deaths, 60 injuries and $36 million in property damage.
Officials throughout Ventura County ban the devices, saying they want to prevent property damage and injuries.
The exception is Fillmore, where a string of brightly colored fireworks stands has popped up on the main road through town. Fillmore is one of several cities in the state that allow the sale of a limited variety of state-approved "safe-and-sane" fireworks. The sales in Fillmore benefit charities.
"We have not had any major fires connected to safe and sane (fireworks)," Fillmore Fire Chief Rigo Landeros said as he checked on the stands this week.
"It's our task to enforce the rules and make sure we educate the consumer about safe-and-sane fireworks and the danger of using illegal fireworks," Rigo said.
City officials allow sales for one week each year, ending at noon July 5. The 25 stands must be run by registered nonprofits, which are governed by a long list of safety rules and other requirements, including that the proceeds must benefit residents.
The stands provide groups with much-needed resources, said Jim Mills of Fillmore's VFW, which runs a stand near the edge of town.
Typical fundraisers such as food sales and carwashes don't come close to the up to $20,000 raised by some fireworks stands, he said.
"Our mission is to provide services to veterans, their widows and their orphans, and that's where our money goes to," Mills said. "If we didn't have this, we wouldn't be able to do nearly as much."
If those fireworks leave town, however, those carrying or setting them off can be charged or cited. And those with more dangerous fireworks face more serious charges.
Authorities throughout the county are gearing up to enforce fireworks ordinances, with fines ranging from $100 to several thousand dollars. In Oxnard, the fine for possessing safe and sane fireworks is $250, and $1,000 or more for other types of fireworks.
"We gets lots of calls for service. Traditionally on the Fourth of July, our sheriff's communications center gets just bombarded with calls," said sheriff's Capt. Don Aguilar. Most calls relate to safety concerns, such as fireworks that come too close to structures.
All fireworks are explosive devices, burning at high temperatures and emitting sparks, said Bill Nash, a spokesman for the Ventura County Fire Department.
"But the big concern within all the county, including Fillmore, are the illegal fireworks that are brought in and shot up into the air. Those are not legal anywhere in the county," he said.
Airborne fireworks can land on roofs and trees and lead to structure fires, just as easily as embers can ignite a brush fire.
"The conditions are very troublesome right now. The hillsides are very dry. We're starting to get warmer weather. And those conditions are the type that make fireworks-related fires possible," Nash said.
Injuries also are a concern, officials said. A national report says 8,600 people had fireworks-related injuries in 2010. Most of those injuries occurred in June and July.
"We don't want to ruin anybody's fun," Nash said. "We want people to enjoy their family, celebrate the holiday and then go to a professional fireworks show ... and they can sit back and just enjoy."
