Take a peek through the window into agriculture's future by learning more about the products in our research and development pipeline...
Our America's Farmers campaign features real farm families doing what they do every day – growing not only our food, but also our economy and our quality of life here in America. We're all connected to agriculture and it's time we, as a nation, learn more about the industry that provides for us every day.
Twenty years from now, the earth's population will need 55% more food than it can produce now. Today, Monsanto is working with farmers around the world to do something about it. In more than 60 countries, we have established industry-leading products because we give professionals like you the freedom to make real decisions. We also have professional development programs and a history of building careers. After all, you'll solve what could be mankind's greatest challenge. Are you ready to start dreaming bigger?
From your first day, you'll be a contributing member of the team with meaningful responsibilities, which allows you to have a realistic look at a career with Monsanto. You'll gain valuable professional experience and developmental feedback through paid, full-time positions. The program helps us assess your career potential as the majority of our 'new graduate' hiring comes from interns and co-ops. It's a great way to get the inside track on how an industry leader like Monsanto works.
Students typically participate in the Intern Program during their summer break. In this 10-12 week continuous learning experience, you'll have the ability to make an immediate impact thru a variety of work assignments and projects. You'll also have access to training, networking, and professional guidance.
The Co-op Program at Monsanto generally requires a semester-long commitment (January through June or June through December) to a full time position.

We are up to the year 2000 with our Panthers draft history review. I'm going to give you a list of draft gem candidates from the 2000 Panthers draft and you simply pick the biggest gem in your opinion. So here we go.
2 (57) S Deon Grant
After sitting the bench his first season for the Panthers Grant was a 16 game starter the next three. In 48 starts Grant logged 215 tackles 30 passes defensed and 11 INTs. Unfortunately Grant was the first in a string of quality Panther starters who left for greener $$ pastures. Grant is still in the NFL, a 16 game starter last season for the Giants. In fact, Grant hasn't missed a start since that first season with the Panthers; that's 11 straight seasons as a starter that included 3 year stints in Seattle and Jacksonville. Grant has 29 career INTs.
6 (182) G Jeno James
James was one of the key cogs in the Panthers 2003 run to the Super Bowl. Originally drafted as a tackle he was moved inside to LG in 2002 and was a key cog in the Panthers power running game led by RB Stephen Davis. James played four seasons for the Panthers before leaving after the SB in a contract tiff.
One more candidate gem and a poll after the jump...
Pictured: WR Steve Smith and LG Jeno James from 2003 season
7 (221) LB Lester Towns
Towns not only made the Panthers team he ended up starting in his first season. Towns could have been a quality starter in the NFL if not for a string of injuries that kept him off the field just when he was getting the opportunity. Towns finished with just under 100 tackles for the Panthers in his four seasons. After sitting our 2004 Towns played parts of two more seasons, first for the Cardinals and then the Dolphins before retiring.
So those are the three choices for Gem of the 2000 draft.

A Lubbock solider is home with his family just in time for Christmas. It's not uncommon for a solider to return home for the holiday season, but this Marine's story is anything but ordinary.
Anthony Villareal, 22, joined the Marines after graduating from Coronado High School. "I always wanted to be a Marine. People would say it's too hard, but I like to show them it's easy," said Villareal.
But six months ago Villareal found himself facing one of the toughest challenges of his life while serving in Afganistan. "Just got hit by a road side bomb when we were driving," said Villareal.
The blast from the roadside bomb caused Villareal to lose half his right arm, fingers on his left hand, and his face was severely burned.
But one thing the explosion didn't take was his strength. "I'm just glad that I'm alive and that I'm here," said Villareal.
His family is also glad that he is alive. "The last time we saw him he left here he told his grandmother that he was going to be back, he didn't say how, but I'm glad he is back," said Villareal's grandfather, Diego Rodriguez.
Today Villareal is getting a break from the intense physical therapy he is undergoing in San Antonio. "Walking when I first woke up that was really hard for me," said Villareal.
He is back in Lubbock spending the holidays with his family, something he wasn't sure he'd be able to do. "I really didn't think that I was going to be here. I really didn't want to spend Christmas and New Year's in the hospital so at least I can come home and spend it with my family," said Villareal.
Villareal says once he is finished with the physical therapy, he hopes to return to Lubbock for good and open a restaurant with his father and maybe eventually return back to the Marines.

"Jalapeno mashed potatoes at Ocean Prime. They are...flavorful but not spicy-hot, and exquisitely layered. The serving is meant to share but who wants to?"-The Dish, December 2012"At Ocean Prime all of the elements unite in perfect harmony - the density of onions, the saltiness of the broth, the architecture of the crouton, and the tensile strength of the cheese. Onion, shallots, leeks, and scallions are caramelized to a deep brown; cooked in beef, chicken and veal stocks; and ladled into a sturdy, genteel white bowl."Onion soup, The Best of Indy-Julia Spaulding, Indianapolis Monthly, 2012"The restaurant clearly evokes a retro/glamorous vibe…" The Indianapolis Star, October 2012
"When you want to dine out, you have decisions to make. Seafood or steak? Casual or upscale? Quiet dining room or bustling bar? At Ocean Prime, the northside's newest dining destination, you'll find options for all of these."-North Magazine, September 2012"Expert bartenders concoct a dazzling array of mixed libations, ranging from the solidly traditional to the coolly contemporary."-Sophisticated Living, September 2012"Shellfish cobb salad might be the best interpretation of the ladies-lunch staple that I have ever tasted..."-Indianapolis Monthly, August 2012"Ocean Prime exceeded my expectations... Ocean Prime is the ultimate upscale restaurant serving the best seafood and steaks."-Indianapolis Recorder, June 14, 2012"Longing for the elegance and luxury of a classic supper club from long-ago with modern updates of the present? Then Ocean Prime, located at River Crossing, is the place for you. When it comes to food, there is something for everyone. As divine as the appetizers and entrees are, the desserts are a must for those with a sweet tooth." -Diane Moore Moore Writes, 2012"This patio is leading the way among luxury restaurants in the area. Founder Cameron Mitchell, General Manager Greg Sage, and the entire team didn't miss a single detail. Executive Chef Shawn O'Brien has done a marvelous job perfecting the dishes...It seems that Ocean Prime is 'Indy's Extraordinaire Restaurant.'" -Theodore Simpson Examiner.com, 2012"A server arrives with our first foray into the fairly tame menu (don't expect to see free-range chicken livers or locally foraged herbs here). A tower of glistening, almost translucent ahi tuna quivers over layers of crispy fried wontons and avocado. The fish is exquisitely fresh and the wonton crunch gives this standard riff on raw fish a nice textural twist. The accompanying ginger ponzu sauce is almost irrelevant. The same can be said for the sweet corn cream sauce served with our jumbo lump crab cake—frivolous. The crab cake is a joyful, pure delight, almost entirely composed of crab… who needs sauce?"
The Atlantan, March 2012
"Chef Shelley's talents to mystify the senses are extraordinary; sit back and let Ocean Prime's hospitality take over."
– Megan St. James, Labrys magazine
"From the moment you pass through the door, it's obvious you are somewhere special. The interior design is stunning…and through a sparkling glass wall sits the kitchen, where chefs perform a ballet of preparation."
– Hope Philbrick, Newcomer magazine
"Buckhead's Ocean Prime offers wild and naturally harvested seafood ideal for the chilly winter nights – particularly when enjoyed fireside on the restaurant's heated patio."
– Giannina Smith Bedford, Atlanta Now magazine
"A perfect fit for Atlanta's fascination with art of dining, Ocean Prime seamlessly blends boutique tastes with the heirloom hospitality of days gone by."
– Alyson Kate, Atlanta Insider
"Championing the modern American supper club concept, Ocean Prime is one of Buckhead's finest restaurants, serving up the most tempting of land and sea plates."
– Simply Buckhead
"Reminiscent of glitzy holiday baubles, Ocean Prime's signature cocktail glows a festive, sparkling red, thanks to a fusion of Belvedere citrus vodka, Domaine Chandon brut and house-made sour studded with marinated berries. The piece de resistance is a spoonful of dry ice, which instantly chills the liquid, frosts the stem of the glass and casts an intoxicating smoke as you sip."
-Jezebel, December 2011
"Priding itself on bringing guests an extensive wine list, inventive cocktails (some served with dry ice for a bubbling, smoky effect), and the top-notch fare, Ocean Prime's extensive menu is sure to have something for everyone; from the succulent crab cake with sweet corn cream to the 16oz. Kansas City Strip broiled to perfection, menu list will make any fine diner satisfied to the highest degree."
-J'Adore Magazine, December 2011
"Millennial supper club with dazzling bling in décor and drinks. More glitz in ginger salmon, Kobe burgers and truffle deviled eggs."
-Golden Brand, Florida Trend's Golden Spoon Awards, 2012
"Ocean Prime came to town with its "A" game and has instantly catapulted into primetime in a very competitive Buckhead corridor."
-Atlanta Social Season, Winter 2011
"We loved OP's take on tuna tartar, with crunchy wontons, avocado and a ginger ponzu sauce. Don't miss Chilean sea bass with Champagne truffle sauce, and save room for seven-layer chocolate cake for dessert."
-The Atlantan, November 2011
"Ocean Prime recently made its Buckhead debut, serving up fine steaks and fresh seafood in made-from-scratch dishes that showcase pure, regional flavors. Handcrafted cocktails and an indulgent dessert menu round out the restaurant's delectable draw."
-Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, November 2011
"Atlanta is finally getting its very own Ocean Prime. For the uninitiated, OP has been nationally praised for years for its supper club vibe, great steaks, fresh seafood and primo drinks. Now, it's coming to Buckhead. Doors open in October."
Men's Book Atlanta, October 2011
"With six locations in five states, the upscale chain Ocean Prime deserves at least a sliver of the credit for the mainstreaming of the Prohibition-era cocktail, with its Cucumber Gimlets, Whiskey Clovers and Strawberry Smashes. But its signature show-stopper is still one of its silliest drinks: The Berries & Bubbles. Chunks of dry ice are added to a rich purple mix of citrus vodka, Champagne, marinated berries and house-made sour mix, and the end result is a raucously bubbling brew that's guaranteed to turn heads around the bar. The fruit flavor is intense, the bubbles add texture and the dry ice gives it a strangely intoxicating aroma (and creates ice on the stem). It's pulpy, it's preposterous ... and somehow, it makes perfect sense."
www.tampabay.com, 2011
"...And we upped the praise to "excellent" when we sliced into the salt 'n' pepper tuna like it was butter. Never mind the wild mushrooms and green peppercorn trappings that came alongside it; with an outside seared and seasoned to perfection and an inside so smooth it might as well have been silk, this piece of fish was, hands down, the best tuna we've had in Denver."
5280 Magazine, July 2011
"Ocean Prime: Ride the Wave. Luckily, no membership required."
Denver Life Magazine, May/June 2011
"Handcrafted by what Ocean Prime affectionately touts as 'Bar Chefs', we realize they mean business. Now for this drink alone, Ocean Prime is definitely worth a visit. Of course, this was only the beginning."
www.askmissa.com, 2011
"My favorite, however, is Ocean Prime's white truffle caviar version. The appetizer arrives on an oversize platter with three hard-boiled eggs, which have been halved and stuffed with a generous mound of smooth yolk. The filling is then topped with a slivered round of black truffle and a dollop of briny black caviar."
Shari Caudron - 5280, April 2011
"...It's Ocean Prime, and it's a huge hit. The place is beautiful with comfortable seating, super lighting, wonderful private dining rooms, and an upstairs bar that is awesome. A seafood and steakhouse, and ala carte offerings are on the menu with many options."
Colorado Expressions, April 2011
"This 'modern supper club' from an Ohio restaurateur takes up basically the last available piece of real estate in Larimer Square and, unsurprisingly, does steaks and ... seafood."
eater.com, March 2011: The Eater Denver Heat Map: Where to Eat Right Now
"From their compelling menu, to imaginative cocktails, a superb wine list, and impeccable service, Ocean Prime is the perfect place to celebrate and entertain with friends."
"...I went for the delicious Berries and Bubbles, a cauldron of Belvedere Cytrus Vodka, marinated blackberries, homemade sour and Domaine Chandon Brut, with a dry-ice presentation that kept the cocktail bubbling. Like Ocean Prime itself, this drink is quite a catch."
Nancy Levine, www.westword.com
"Party on the lido deck! Designed to evoke, but not mimic exactly, a high-end cruise ship. Several different rooms: a TV bar downstairs, a couple of dining areas upstairs, private dining rooms. Luxurious finishes, porthole accents, flattering lighting, spacious tables. No steerage."
Tucker Shaw, www.denverpost.com
"The best of the best including a prime location, prime service and prime food!"
Metromix Denver, January 2011
"It's a gorgeous restaurant, worth a visit for the ambience alone. It has a bar that's one of the most stunning around: beautiful, elegant and hip."
Christopher Cook
Hour Detroit, 2008
"A Swank New Surf & Turf"
Penny Parker, Denver Post, 2011
Elegant Surf and Turf Restaurant a Throwback to Supper Clubs
"Our meal was nothing less than outstanding. Every single morsel of food that we bit into was perfection. Everything is served hot and nothing was over-seasoned or too fussy.
As for the staff, service was impeccable and personable. As we sat on the patio, we watched as curious passersby turned their heads, curiously watching the lively patio scene. Ocean Prime is a throwback to a time of sophisticated supper clubs, where the vibe is hip and the food and cocktails are amazing. **4 STARS**"
The Oakland Press
It's Ocean Prime time in Oakland Co.
"Crowds are elegant and waits can be long at new steak-and-seafood spot. Everywhere you look, there's another beautiful design feature, from towering panels of sheer white fabric washed in blue light, to rich woods covering the floors and walls, to a glass-enclosed wine vault stretching to the ceiling of the 30-foot-high foyer.
You have to hand it to Ohio restaurateur Cameron Mitchell, who wanted to create a 'modern American supper club' with retro touches and contemporary attitude. Ocean Prime is exactly what the company said it would be: 'sexy, sophisticated' and a 'place to see and be seen.'"
"The modern American supper club" with a luxurious menu focused on fresh seafood and fine steaks. For style and scene, this is one of metro Detroit's hottest restaurants."
Free Press, Sylvia Rector
"****. A well-run operation delivers on its promises of upscale fish and meat."

It had been such a familiar script in the first four games of the Eastern Conference Final between the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers. When it was all said and done, the Devils find themselves within one win of their first Stanley Cup Final since 2003, following a gutsy 5-3 win Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Game 5 brought about a number of scenarios that was unlike any we've seen in the series thus far:
- A huge New Jersey lead. Although the Devils wore down the Rangers in their previous two victories, they jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first 9:49 of the first period.
- Soft goals yielded by the usual pair of stellar goaltenders Henrik Lundqvist and Martin Brodeur. The Devils scored on three of their first five shots on goal, including one Lundqvist would probably like to have back by Travis Zajac that made it 3-0. Brodeur had one of his own -- he let a Brandon Prust backhander sneak through him when he committed first and dove on a late first period chance, then allowed a tally to Marian Gaborik from the left wing corner that banked in off the netminder just 17 seconds into the third period to knot the score at 3-3.
- A New York forecheck that kept New Jersey pinned in their own zone for long stretches, something the Devils have made a habit of doing to their Atlantic Division rivals in the first four contests of the series. The Rangers' hard work and smart play led to a comeback from 0-3 to a 3-3 tie early in the third frame. It was the first time in 101 contests -- 82 regular season, 19 playoffs -- that New York was able to come back from an 0-3 deficit.
- After garnering the 3-0 lead, NJ put just 12 more shots on the New York goal the rest of the way.
- Along the way, NY dominated the statistics sheet -- the Rangers outshot New Jersey by a 28-17 count, outhit the Devils, 40-26, and were 37-62 in the faceoff circle (a solid 59.6 percent). When you put up numbers like that, you're going to win a lot of games. But not on this night, as the early-game gaffes cost New York the contest.
Something that did remain a constant was the Devils' ability to get traffic in front of Lundqvist, and the eventual payoff for the hard work rendered.
In the end, it was NJ who once again pulled out the contest, this time late in the third, when Peter DeBoer put together a make-shift line of Stephen Gionta, Ryan Carter and Ilya Kovalchuk, and the trio came up with a big shift on the game-winning goal. Kovalchuk's forecheck deep in the right wing corner knocked the puck free from defenseman Michael Del Zotto to Gionta behind the goal line, who then sent a pass across the goal crease to Carter, who buried the shot past Lundqvist with only 4:24 remaining in regulation. Zach Parise tacked on an empty-netter with Lundqvist on the bench for an extra attacker with 31.2 seconds remaining in regulation to put the game out of reach at 5-3.
The fact remains that the Rangers have not won a game in this series other than those in which Lundqvist earned a shutout -- 3-0 counts in both Games 1 and 3.
And while the way they got there looked much different than the rest of the series, the end result was the same -- a New Jersey victory.
The Devils head back to the Prudential Center for Friday night's Game 6 with the chance to close out the East's top-seeded club from New York. Can the Rangers force a third consecutive Game 7? Do they have enough left in the tank?
One thing is for sure, and it was mentioned during Parise's post-game interview: "We've got to be better in Game 6."
The Devils' captain is correct.
If they are better and successful in winning their fourth game of the set, N.J. will be shaking hands and moving on to play the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Kings, who are awaiting their opponent from the coast to the right.

Rangrezz could have been much better. That's a nice way of saying it couldn't have been much worse. After Kai Po Che gave us a great story of three friends against the world, Rangrezz brings us a story of 3 friends. This is a film whose title has as much connection to the plot as the extra 'k' in Jackky Bhagnani's name has to anything. But, before we get carried away, let us honour this film with the best recognition that the movie world has to offer: the in.com LOL-scars!
Rangrezz is not an ordinary film; it is one full of firsts in cinema. For example, the shoehorning of Gangnam Style into the movie, or the random symbolism of seven crows flying in the sky right at the end, or the name-checking of Agent Vinod, Dabangg and Bol Bachchan (couldn't they have found three better films to name-check?). Here are a few more rankings for you, so that you can remember Rangrezz for ever as the shining jewel is undoubtedly is.

Why did Jai Ho fail to break box office records?
A few days after Jai Ho's release, it is apparent that Salman's latest film will not touch the heights achieved by Chennai Express, Krrish 3, or Dhoom 3.

So why did Jai Ho fail to break all the box office records we thought it would? We aren't sure, but here are a few reasons.

Leading player agent George Mimis has escaped having his accreditation revoked over his involvement in the NRL salary cap scandal which engulfed the New Zealand Warriors earlier this year.
The Rugby League Agent Accreditation Committee, which is currently a voluntary organisation but will become mandatory on November 1, had the power to deregister Mimis over the incident. The committee had previously found Mimis guilty of executing a contract that did not include all of the Warriors' payments from the club.
But Mimis will escape deregistration if there are no further complaints about him in the next 12 months. Another agent, Jim Banaghan, is under investigation, with the Committee to make a call on his accreditation next month.Like

When you think of wind energy, images of giant wind turbines probably come to mind. But, more North Texans are turning to smaller, more economical wind generators to cut costs.
Stewart Udall, an elder in a famed political family who led the Interior Department as it promoted an expansion of public lands and helped win passage of major environmental laws, has died at the age of 90.
Some Dallas residents have been watching water (and their money) go right down the drain. On Monday, the city kicked off a repair program to plug the leaks and cut their bills.
Texas is taking the federal government to court over a ruling that says greenhouse gases present a danger to human health.
A North Texas non-profit broke ground on its 66th school garden, and it may just be a groundbreaking moment for a student at Sanger Elementary in Dallas.
Environment Texas says the problems stem from riverfront development, dirty storm water runoff and industrial pollution.
The Obama administration will announce on Monday funding for nine projects designed to significantly increase fuel efficiency in heavy trucks and passenger vehicles.
Two months ago, News 8 broke a story that has changed the future of health in North Texas.
One California businessman has figured out how to celebrate the holidays while being aware of the environment. Instead of selling trees, he rents them.
Before anyone has a turbine put up they need to check into how the state treats people who do this. Texas is not overly friendly to those that want to produce their own power. At any rate this is something that I would do in a heartbeat if I could afford it. But then if I could afford to put out this kind of money I wouldn't need to worry about paying my electric bill.
from Homeowners turning to wind generators to curb pricey bills.
Change energy providers first people... Shop around. It's called DERGULATION and it's to your advantage to look for the cheapest price. I'm currently paying $.09 per KW and have saved over $3000 over the past 4 years. Don't EVER tell me that deregulation is a failure in this state. I will prove you wrong in a heartbeat.
from Homeowners turning to wind generators to curb pricey bills.
You need to talk to your electric company BEFORE you do this. Remember, the salesman is trying to SELL you a system. They don't always present the whole picture.

An electric bill for $902 means the house is large and old. Not everyone can put a wind generator in their RURAL backyard.

Michigan Fans,
Wanted to thank everyone for all of their information and help in showing us a great time while in Ann Arbor!
I've posted our recap on Michigan here: http://www.thebig10tour.com/michigan.html
Unfortunately I didn't get to see as much as I wanted to because one of our guys was whining to get home (& I've subsequently removed him from the balance of the tour), but the campus was the best I've seen to date and the stadium and tailgating lots were probably one of the bests as well.
To all of the Michigan fans I met at the Iowa game and also at the Penn State game, thank you for everything. Ann Arbor will clearly be a repeat visit in years to come!
Don't forget to check out some of our other Big 10 Stadium recaps at www.THEbig10tour.com
Thanks again,

Teen accused of killing parents pleads not guilty
Attorneys for Alex Crain, the 14-year-old Golden Gate Estates boy accused of killing his parents, entered a written plea of not-guilty for their client preceding a Monday morning arraignment.
Neither Crain nor his attorneys were present at the formal hearing. The not-guilty plea, typical at a felony arraignment, was entered into the court file weeks earlier.
The teenager is charged with two counts of manslaughter with a firearm for the deaths of his parents Thomas and Kelly Crain. The pair were found slain in the family's Golden Gate Estates home on Dec. 9. Each count is a first-degree felony that carries a maximum 30-year prison sentence.
Collier Circuit Court Judge Fred Hardt is the assigned trial judge in the case; Assistant State Attorney Rich Montecalvo will prosecute the case.
Crain is next scheduled for a case management conference on June 6.
One of his attorneys, Brian Bieber, said on Monday that he anticipates an earlier hearing in the case, after Bieber and co-counsel Mark Rankin file a motion to exclude electronic media including video cameras and still-image cameras from the courtroom. That motion has yet to be filed.

Scottsdale Model Railroad Historical Society Website
The Scottsdale Model Railroad Historical Society is located in the new Model Railroad Building at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. An integral part of the Railroad Park, the Society displays HO (standard gauge) and HOn3 (narrow gauge) equipment, structures and scenic techniques.
The mission of the Scottsdale Model Railroad Historical Society, Inc. is to promote the understanding of railroading through the creation of an artistic model in order to educate the public about railroading and the resulting transportation of people and goods that expanded and grew the United States of America.
The Scottsdale Model Railroad Historical Society began in 1968 as the Scottsdale Model Railroad Club; members have been meeting at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park for 35 years. The Scottsdale Model Railroad Club layout featured two railroads: the Paradise & Pacific recreated standard gauge trains in HO-scale, and the Uncompahgre & San Juan which recreated a narrow gauge railroad in HOn3 scale. The Scottsdale Model Railroad Historical Society features a single Santa Fe Railroad and Southern Pacific interchange.
Railroads have contributed significantly to Arizona's growth and development for more than a century. The model that the club is building here is a snapshot of Arizona railroading since the mid-1960s. As the layout develops over time, you will begin to see the towns and railyards that represent real communities from Flagstaff to Safford, including a major switchyard in Phoenix. The narrow gauge railroad runs between the historic mining communities of Jerome and Ash Fork, and passes through Flagstaff.
Authenticity and attention to detail are hallmarks of the Scottsdale Model Railroad Historical Society. When club members operate the railroad, they're equally particular: if you watch closely, you may be able to pick out who are the engineers, the brakemen, yardmasters and other real-life railroad employees. Everyone is working hard to make certain that even these model trains run on time and stick to the schedule!
Sad Note:
Steve Field, a Life Member of NMRA, passed away in Scottsdale on December 22, 2013. Steve was an avid model railroader for more than 50 years. A 20 year Navy Aviation veteran, Steve enjoyed his hobby all over the globe and most recently in the Phoenix area. He was a member of the Scottsdale Model Railroad Historical Society and the Grand Canyon Model Railroaders. Steve's greatest joy was running long trains with modern equipment. Steve earned recognition for several favorite train entries at Arizona Division meets. He also enjoyed construction work and played a key role in creating the bench work and track road bed for the new HO layout in the McCormick-Stillman Railroad park in Scottsdale. He will be missed by his many friends in the hobby.

The snow has stopped falling Wednesday night and most of the primary roads in the area are clear, but road conditions could still change at any time throughout the night.
VDOT is concerned with flooding and freezing roads and wants you to use caution before getting on the roads.
As the night goes on and temperatures continue to drop, the chance of freezing roads increases. That could make for a messy commute Thursday morning.
People have been trying to dig themselves out of the snow all around central Virginia. Now, it's time to deal with the aftermath. As day turns to night, there's the chance of road conditions quickly deteriorating. VDOT is urging you to use caution before going out on the roads.
VDOT says motorists should look out for roads icing over and give themselves plenty of time. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and don't pass snow plows.
In Charlottesville, the snow storm slammed the city, but by early afternoon, the main roads were clear. There were issues with power outages and downed trees as the city's command center took in more than 100 calls.
In Albemarle County, one of the hardest hit areas, fire crews had an active day, from power line fires to wellness checks.
"We've been pretty busy from about 4:30 this morning. We've been running a lot of trees down, power lines down, power lines pulled from houses, motor vehicle accidents, an assortment of things like that," said North Garden Fire Chief George Stephens.
Route 29 was closed in both directions Wednesday near North Garden because of poor road conditions and numerous car crashes.
While VDOT is giving advice for the roads, the North Garden fire chief says you should be cautious as the power returns.
"As the power comes back on be careful with energized lines, likewise while the power is off for people who are using generators, please be aware of the CO that can be involved in that and just be safe, turn the generator off when fueling it," Stephens said.
Just another reminder: if you don't have to be anywhere Wednesday night or Thursday morning, your best bet is to avoid the roads completely.

Kids all over the country are acting strangely after reading the latest books in the mega-popular Chillers series. First, it's the seemingly innocent Jelly Worm fad.

Oak Brook, Ill., January 11, 2012 – Midwest Heart Specialists, the largest independent cardiology practice in Illinois with 50 physicians, has integrated with Advocate Medical Group (AMG), one of the state's largest medical groups. Now known as "Midwest Heart Specialists-Advocate Medical Group," the cardiologists will continue to provide clinical services in the same locations and hospitals where they currently practice. The physicians have multiple locations in and around Rockford, Ill., and Chicago's western and northwest suburbs.
"Midwest Heart Specialists-Advocate Medical Group is poised to expand cardiology services for our patients in Northern and Central Illinois, said James Dan, M.D., FACP, president of AMG. "We are bringing together some of the best cardiology experts in the country to offer heart patients exceptional care. Together we are making great strides to improve heart health in the communities we serve."
"Aligning with AMG allows us to continue our growth and continue to build on the excellent reputation both organizations have established," said Vincent Bufalino, M.D., senior vice president of cardiovascular services for Advocate Health Care and former chairman and CEO of Midwest Heart Specialists. "Our patients benefit from this collaboration in that we will be providing advanced care in terms of new technology and, on the screening and prevention side, we are looking to detect problems early and solving them with proven treatment methods."
AMG is a part of Advocate Health Care, recognized as one of the nation's top 10 health systems. Advocate treats more hearts than any other health system in the state. This union with Midwest Heart Specialists expands Advocate's patient base through AMG. Midwest Heart Specialists already participates in Advocate's nationally recognized Clinical Integration Program. Known for efficiently and effectively delivering outstanding coordinated health care with better patient outcomes, Advocate's Clinical Integration Program aligns with the Accountable Care Organization model, which focuses on achieving both cost and quality improvements through coordinated and collaborative patient care.
Midwest Heart Specialists and Advocate Medical Group each have more than three decades of patient care experience. Midwest Heart Specialists, headquartered in Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., has been serving the cardiac needs of thousands of heart patients throughout the Chicago Metropolitan area and Rockford, Ill., since 1973. AMG is a physician-led medical group providing primary care, specialty services, medical imaging, outpatient services and community-based medical practices throughout Chicagoland and Central Illinois. One of the state's largest medical groups with more than 900 primary and specialty care physicians in approximately 200 locations, AMG is part of Advocate Health Care, one of the leading, integrated health care systems in the nation. More information can be found by calling 1.800.3.ADVOCATE (1.800.323.8622).

Giants lose control, give away game
Zito, Sadler issue four walks, hit three batters in wild sixth
HOUSTON -- Wednesday night's descent was a familiar one for the Giants, although the path they took was somewhat unique.As was the case a night earlier against the Houston Astros, one big inning foiled San Francisco in a 6-2 loss. Houston scored all of its runs in the sixth inning to overcome a 1-0 deficit -- mirroring Tuesday, when the Astros' eight-run seventh erased a 3-2 Giants lead. Wednesday's rally, though, developed in unusual fashion. It included only two hits, neither of which were wholly clean. Houston also collected two sacrifice flies, three hit batters (matching a modern Major League record) and four walks. Giants starter Barry Zito encountered trouble as Ty Wigginton opened the Astros' sixth with an infield single. It was a grounder up the middle that shortstop Omar Vizquel corralled before performing a graceful 360-degree spin to throw to first base, but his peg was an instant late. Mark Loretta walked and Miguel Tejada hit a pop fly that fell among center fielder Aaron Rowand, right fielder Randy Winn and second baseman Emmanuel Burriss. That single loaded the bases. Zito then walked Lance Berkman to force in the tying run before Geoff Blum's sacrifice fly put Houston ahead and advanced the remaining runners to second and third. An intentional walk to Hunter Pence reloaded the bases before Reggie Abercrombie lifted a sacrifice fly. Zito hit Humberto Quintero with a pitch and walked opposing pitcher Randy Wolf on a 3-2 delivery to force in a run. In came right-hander Billy Sadler, who hit the first two batters he faced, Wigginton and Loretta, to push across two more runs. Dissecting the inning, Zito criticized himself for walking Loretta and hitting Quintero.
"Those were the difference-makers right there," he said.Zito didn't second-guess himself for walking the formidable Berkman, who hit a grand slam in Houston's uprising Tuesday. "I didn't want to give in to Berkman," Zito said. "I wasn't really concerned with that walk because, as we saw last night, he can make it four runs." Nor did Zito lament the charmed hits by Wigginton and Tejada.
"You can't do anything about bloop hits or infield hits," he said, then repeated, "It's on me for walking Loretta."But manager Bruce Bochy believed that the hits precipitated the Giants' downfall.
"We just self-destructed at that point," he said.Zito had little to say about his final self-destructive act, which was walking Wolf.
"I just lost my aggressiveness," he said. Against a pitcher batting .140? "I don't know. I just did," he said.The Giants matched a season-worst by falling 19 games under .500, yet some positive nuggets could be mined from their performance. Zito blanked Houston on two hits before the telling sixth. "He was locked in," Bochy said.
Winn doubled twice, and Rowand hit two balls that might have been home runs in other circumstances. His first-inning flyout would have landed in the Crawford Boxes had it traveled a few feet to the left, and his seventh-inning drive to center was hauled in by Abercrombie at the foot of Tal's Hill, several paces in front of the 436-foot marker.Third baseman Ryan Rohlinger, promoted earlier in the day from Double-A Connecticut, became the 13th Giants rookie to make his Major League debut this season. One of three Minor Leaguers to join the Giants -- catcher-first baseman Pablo Sandoval and first baseman Travis Ishikawa were the others -- Rohlinger committed two errors but also stroked a seventh-inning RBI single. "Those kids are going to be a little nervous," Bochy said. "That's to be expected." Finally, catcher Bengie Molina maintained his cool despite being hit by a pitch for the third consecutive night. By all indications, the sixth-inning plunkings by Zito and Sadler weren't meant as retaliation. "It's part of the game, I guess," Molina said. "I think they were trying to pitch me inside and balls got away. They don't have any reason to throw at me, so I'm not sweating that." Bochy was less forgiving.
"He's been hit enough," Bochy said. "That's all I have to say."

Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
By Susie Ekberg
Staff Writer
Q: I'm a businesswoman AND the primary caregiver for my young son. I know I'm burning myself out trying to do it all. I want to be involved with my son but there is such a drive to work. How can I feel balanced and not like I'm doing a crappy job at everything?
A: Listen to me very closely. First of all, take a long, deep breath… in… and out. Okay, you are in a very very tough spot, of feeling like you have to do it all, but of not feeling like you're able TO do it all. You can't.
There. I said it. Somebody HAD to. Here's the deal: your day is one pie. You decide how many pieces you're going to cut, thereby determining how much of your time goes to each piece, but YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PIE. So no matter how many pieces you cut, you'll still only have a finite amount of time for each of the pieces of your day.
What you're talking about is the desire to have another pie, and with our current technology that just isn't possible.
We may have been raised to believe that we could and should do it all. Work work work from sunrise to sundown. Oh, and never complain. Oh, and make it look easy. Oh, and like it!
Sound familiar? We may have gotten that from OUR parents, or we may have gotten the message that unless we're working our tails off we're not productive citizens and are just taking up room. If we're not working, we're not alive. We may even get uncomfortable if we're not always in motion, never stopping until our head hits the pillow at night. That's not only destructive; it's counterproductive.
This summer seems to be about balance: defining what balance is for each of us (NOT what others say it "should" be for you), intending balance for our lives, then taking the active steps to make that balance happen. It isn't proving to be an easy task.
The main balance I seem to be working with is inner balance vs. outer balance (which may explain why I seem to be walking into a lot of walls lately).
Inner balance is found in the quiet, in the "being" mode as opposed to the "doing" mode, in the introspective and intuitive, in the stillness.
Outer balance is found in the limiting of chores, responsibilities and commitments, in doing things that bring you joy, in doing work that is fulfilling, in surrounding yourself with people and things that are uplifting and precious to you.
When either your inner or outer balance is well, out of balance, you get tippy and your Center is no longer IN your Center.
In a perfect world it would be like looking in the mirror. Your reflection is the same distance from the mirror as you are. In this description YOU are the mirror, and you "should" be equidistant from both your inner AND your outer realities to give you "perfect" vision and perspective.
Have you ever looked in one of those distorted mirrors? Your head looks huge, or you look really teeny, or your waist is stretched out? It's a distortion in the mirror; there's nothing actually anything wrong with YOU.
I want to ask you a few questions. See if answering them can help you gain some clarity.
1. What makes you happy? I mean, really gut-splitting, can't-stop-smiling happy?
2. If you could do ANYTHING in the world, no limits, what would you be doing right now?
3. When you were 10 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
4. How many times during your day do you catch yourself saying, "I wish I could…"
5. How many times during your day do you sigh?
6. List 3 hobbies you actively pursue.
7. List 3 places in the US you have always wanted to visit, and 3 places in the world you have always wanted to visit.
8. What are you gifted at?
9. When people talk about you, what do they say about you? (she's smart, she's sweet, she's loyal, she's a hard worker, she's too hard on herself)
10. Are you willing to commit 10 minutes a day just to yourself and what makes you happy?
The vast majority of what we think is important, actually isn't. It's just extra fluff and stuff added to give our lives more weight and importance. "See how much I have to get done? Look at how important and busy I am!"
Make a list of everything you're responsible for, then look at the list again, with a critical eye. What can you cross off your list? What can you get someone else to do? What would you like to ADD to your list that you've never thought you had time for? These are all good jumpstarts in your quest for self-discovery and balance.
I can't possible answer exactly what you "should" be doing to bring your life back into balance because it's YOUR life and you need to feel empowered to make your own decisions. I can only support you.
And I do. I see you are a loving, committed parent to your son, as well as a person committed to making the world a better place through your work.
But I also see that it's impossible to be an effective mother and businessperson if you aren't taking care of yourself, and that includes not running yourself ragged.
You deserve to have a rich, nurturing environment for yourself, and that's created through the actions you take RIGHT NOW. It may take awhile for the changes to take effect, but don't give up. Start small, maybe by saying no to just one thing a day. Add one activity that's just for you. Take a day off once a month. Slow and steady wins the race to turn that huge ship of your life around.
Just remember, you can't do it all, but you CAN have your life be a reflection of that which resonates with you and what adds depth and richness.
That's what you're "supposed" to be doing with your life. Living it, and living it up. That's why they call it a Life and not a Work (Life = Alive).
Ask yourself: am I alive? Then take it from there. I know you can.

ACORN and the Midterm Elections
Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Public Policy Polling has proven, once again, that one in five Americans will signal their belief for just about anything. The group's poll today notes that 20% of Americans think that ACORN will steal the election for Democrats and 40% aren't sure. (The other 40% are pretty sure this won't be the case). All this, despite that fact that ACORN is now a defunct organization.
More seriously, we're about to go into the first election since 2004 where the Democrats won't do very well. It is also the first election since the 1970s when ACORN won't really exist. In 2004, 2006 and 2008, when things were either touch-and-go or terrible for Republicans, voters read lots of election-time stories about an organization called ACORN that was filing lots of bogus voter registrations. This year, Republicans will win, and I bet the myth of ACORN only grows — that a stubborn number of Americans will think that Democrats only won the 2006 and 2008 elections because of fraud, and that James O'Keefe saved us from it.

In all fairiness, ACORN has been involved in vote fraud. Hell, alot of activist on both political sides have been involved in voter fraud. Your being highly disingenuous to your readers saying that 20% of American believe that ACORN is going to steal for Democrats.
ACORN leadership, members, agenda, lives on and thrives under dozen of diferrent umbrella organization. As long as government money goes to community organizations, they political sponsors will expect pay back with get out of the vote efforts by any means neccessary.
If any body thinks I talking out my butt due a little google research. Check out the state secretary of state for non-profits and you will see the same law firm incorporating dozen of entities and sharing the same principal contact.
Their millions of dollars of government money being funnelled to theses organizations. With all that money being paid out, you think it going to stop because one organization gets bad press. Where is the executive officers of ACORN now? Who paying their salaries now? What about their perks like the hotels, travel, and dinner expenses for a start.
You expect a rational person to think they all are in penniless and trying to get a job driving of UPS. Your the reporter? Do your job…

The Simpsons role-playing game too 'complicated'
By Jenna Pitcher on Aug 07, 2013 08.07.13
Plans to develop a role-playing game based on long-running TV series The Simpsons was in discussions at one stage, series writer and executive producer Al Jean said in an interview with Gold Derby. "We've talked about it and it's a really complicated thing to do, especially because you have to write a number of possibilities for each current [character]," Jean said when it was pointed out that a game based on The Simpsons could translate well as an RPG. "There's an unbelievable history of videos games that have come off the show, you know, the variety. I think that kind of thing is not going to stop, in fact, it will just increase." When asked if there are any new The Simpsons-based video game projects in the works, besides Tapped Out, Jean responded with "we've talked about it, I...

Adam's New Book Invites 'Mathematical Nature Walk'
John Adam, University Professor of mathematics at Old Dominion University and a prolific author in recent years, received his first copy of his new book, "A Mathematical Nature Walk," in mid-April together with a very upbeat note from the executive editor of Princeton University Press.
"I am delighted to enclose the first copy," wrote Vickie Kearn, the PUP executive editor. "As I look through it again, I am reminded of all the things I like about the way you write."
Kearn's employer also has published Adam's "Mathematics in Nature: Modeling Patterns in the Natural World" (2003) and "Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin" (2008), the latter which he wrote with ODU's Lawrence Weinstein, University Professor of physics. Both books have won critical praise, and "Guesstimation" has proven to have long lasting popularity for a book of its type. The New York Times did a feature story on the book in April 2009, a full year after it hit the bookstores.
"We are really looking forward to the promotion phase of your book," Kearn wrote in reference to "A Mathematical Nature Walk." "We feel that based on the reviews of 'Math in Nature' and the recent success of 'Guesstimation' that there will be a lot of interest in your new book."
The announced publication for the new book is June, but Adam is expecting that a small shipment of copies will arrive in time for the 15th annual Author Dinner of the Friends of the Old Dominion University Libraries on April 30. He is the featured author for that event. Reservations must be made by April 23; more information can be found at http://www.lib.odu.edu/friends/events/2009/friends15thauthordinner.htm.
"A Mathematical Nature Walk" presents nearly 100 questions that might occur to someone on a nature walk. Adam shows how to arrive at answers using mostly basic mathematics. Questions included are: Can you weigh a pumpkin just by carefully looking at it? Why can you see farther in rain than in fog? What causes the variations in the colors of butterfly wings, bird feathers and oil slicks? Why are large haystacks prone to spontaneous combustion?
Many of the questions are illustrated with photos and drawings, and the book provides answers, a glossary of terms and a list of some of the patterns found in nature.
Adam, who was a 2007 recipient of the Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award sponsored by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, is known for his ability to make numbers interesting. His research has involved mathematical modeling and mathematical biology focused on tumor growth and wound healing. But with his popular writing he has drawn a broader audience into mathematics and patterns.
In a prepublication endorsement of "A Mathematical Nature Walk," Hans Christian von Baeyer, author of "Information: The New Language of Science," writes, "For generations, field guides to plants and animals have sharpened the pleasure of seeing by opening our minds to understanding. Now John Adam has filled a gap in that venerable genre with his painstaking but simple mathematical descriptions of familiar, mundane physical phenomena. This is nothing less than a mathematical field guide to inanimate nature."
Raymond Lee, author of "The Rainbow Bridge," calls the new work "a true gem of popular scientific writing" and says that Adam "adroitly does what all good science writers should do: he inspires readers to observe and then to analyze the world outside their windows."
"Mathematics in Nature" won the Association of American Publishers' Mathematics and Statistics Professional/Scholarly Award in 2004 and was one of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2004. In addition to writing the text for that book, Adam contributed a number of his photographs.

Valdosta - South Georgia soldiers are gearing up for their next deployment. Lowndes County's Army National Guard unit is training on the Guard Fist II simulator.
It doesn't look like your typical combat environment. The usual armored tanks and guns have been replaced with desks and computers. But the Guard Fist II simulator is one of the best kinds of training these soldiers can get. "With the possibility of getting deployed, any training we can do on equipment that will get us ready is great," said Specialist Donald Grantham.
It teaches them the key component in a combat situation, how to call for fire. "This is critical," said Collier. "One of the major things that came up in Iraq was that every soldier needs to know how to call for fire, and this trainer allows them to practice that and see the effect of what they're doing."
The soldier sitting in front represents a forward observer. "The forward observer calls in the necessary information to the FDC," said Collier. The two behind him are the FDC, or Fire Direction Control team. "The FDC calculates and sends the information to the guns, and then the rounds are fired," said Collier.
Using maps, protractors, and a watchful eye, they can pinpoint the enemy and perfect their firing ability. "It allows them to see the rounds' impact and make adjustments which is something they can't just do on a regular basis because of the cost of ammunition," said Collier.
And although they're not sure of their next deployment, this tool will give them the skills they need for when the time comes.

"Please don't believe that slipcovers must be loose-fitting," Jeffrey Bilhuber writes in his first book, Jeffrey Bilhuber's Design Basics. "Tailor those babies like a fine suit. Nothing will depress you more than a room full of loose, drooping, baggy slipcovers. It has the allure of a pajama party in a nursing home."
He's a doll, he really is.
Design Basics is a charming blend of chummy snark and useful advice. Bilhuber offers tips on using color and pattern, choosing materials, measuring a room for an area rug, and dressing your mantle. He also lists his tenets for creating interesting rooms ("a polished dining room table demands painted chairs") and his favorite Benjamin Moore paint colors.
How helpful!
Top: Grant Beige, Alexandria Beige, Rainforest Dew, Java
Middle: Edgecomb Gray, Black Bean Soup, Grant Beige, Yellow Haze
Bottom: Moonlight, Gentleman's Gray, Harbor Fog, Mellow Yellow
Design Basics is full of luxe rooms brimming with neutrals and earth tones. My favorite photo is below. Bilhuber upholstered a sofa in lush linen velvet and paired it with a tortoise shell table and a satin-covered gilded chair. The dark blue floor is linoleum. Isn't it yummy?
Defining Luxury, Bilhuber's newest book, is a clean departure from these subdued interiors. Color and pattern dominate! Chintz! Checks! Fake cheetahs prowling the carpet!
Bilhuber loves his antlers, too. Why not surround your flatscreen with them?
(Psst: Thom Filicia, who worked at Bilhuber's firm in the '90s, copied this look, below, in his fisherman's cottage in Upstate New York.)
While my definitions of luxury don't include taxidermy and chintz, I have to say the placement here is clever. A peacock must preen, after all.
And Defining Luxury does feature some lovely, tamer interiors I find inspirational.
I was surprised by how much I liked this room (below) -- I kept flipping back to it. There's something wonderfully cheerful and inviting about the pastel candy stripes, the pinks and greens, and the overstuffed upholstery.
Below, a neutral living room with touches of red and gold. The gorgeous ikat pillow pulls it all together.
Isn't this parlor beautiful? (Apologies for the poor scan.) I love the mix of pattern and scale. Antiques brush elbows with modern art, and the ceiling is painted a glossy chartreuse. (What's that newspaper sculpture doing by the fireplace, though?)
Hello, orange! Bilhuber pulls it off.
In this dark green living room, the artwork's sinuous lines echo the pattern on the antique Russian commode. Notice the repetition among the chairs, decorative accents, and roses.
This last photo isn't from Defining Luxury, but I had to include it. Gorgeous, right? Warren Platner table with modern klismos chairs. (Photo from House and Garden, Oct. 2005.)
Quieres mas? Read this interview between Jeffrey and New York Social Diarists Sian Ballen and Lesley Hauge.

This 21 year old amateur super heavyweight from England is through to the World Amateur Championship finals, scheduled for 10am GMT on Saturday 8 Oct (BoxNation will show live in the UK).
I have just watched him bust up the German Erik Pfeifer in the semi-final and stop him on a possible broken nose, however, much more impressive than this is the fact that he beat the reigning World (2 time) and Olympic champion, Roberto Cammarelle, in the quarter-final (close decision, 15-13).
Now, i didn't see the Cammarelle fight, and maybe after all the years of fighting and winning at the highest amateur level, 31 year old Roberto is finally nearing the end, or maybe not. Maybe Joshua is just that good?
Joshua certainly looks the part to me, an accurate puncher with pretty slick skills and solid power, as his impressive upper body indicates.
As a UK boxing fan i am very pleased to see not only Joshua, but also Luke Campbell from England and Andrew Selby from Wales make it through to the finals, guaranteeing themselves at least a silver medal. Thomas Stalker of England goes home with a bronze medal after being outpointed by the Ukranian Denis Berinchyk today.
This year could well turn out to be the most successful World Championships ever for the UK, with Frankie Gavin being our first ever World Amateur Champion in 2007 in Chicago. Along with the 2008 Olympic medal winners, these most recent results just go to show how much UK boxing has improved and progressed over the last few years.
By the way, the Ukraine seem to be almost up there with Russia now as the top amateur boxing nation, following the decline of both Cuba and the USA.
If you haven't seen him already and you are watching the finals tomorrow, look out for Vasyl Lomachenko of the Ukraine. He is the reigning World and Olympic champion at featherweight and won the boxer of the tournament award at the 2008 Olympics. Still only 23 years old, i hope he turns pro after London 2012. He really is something special.
Anthony Joshua might just be that too.

Soccer Hosted Special Olympics Athletes
April 10, 2013
FORT WORTH - This past Saturday the TCU women's soccer program hosted a two hour clinic for Special Olympic athletes and coaches.
Assistant coaches Ryan Higginbotham and Kelsey Davis ran the clinic for the athletes, while head coach Eric Bell put the coaching staffs through a separate coaches clinic. In total, 35 athletes from the Special Olympics Texas-Greater Dallas area took part along with 11 coaches.
"The athletes clinic was amazing," raved Special Olympics Texas-Greater Dallas (Area 10) program director Cyndi Murchison. "All the athletes loved it and the coaches clinic was incredible. Overall, I still cannot believe what I experienced - unified recreation at its finest, inclusion and most importantly feeling loved and appreciated."
The athletes' portion of the clinic featured a skills circuit and a 5 vs. 5 game, while the coaches were put through a tactical and technical clinic. At the conclusion of the clinic, everyone gathered for a group picnic.
"Our athletes will forever remember this and will be grateful for this opportunity forever," said Murchison.
The experience for both coaches and athletes will go a long way in preparing them for the upcoming Special Olympic Summer games, which are slated to take place May 23-26 on the UT Arlington campus.

WALLA WALLA -- A masked man absconded with an undisclosed amount of cash after robbing the Taj Food Mart on Morton Street early this morning, police said.
A witness saw the man flee the scene on a bicycle, heading toward Second Avenue, according to Detective Sgt. Matt Wood of the Walla Walla Police Department.
"It's a possiblity he left (the bike) there to get away," Wood said.
City police, along with Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office deputies, responded to the robbery report at 7:30 a.m.
Wood said the convenience store at 5 W. Morton was open when the man, wearing a hooded coat and a bandanna across his face, entered the store. There were no customers in the store at the time of the robbery.
"A weapon was implied," Wood said. "He kept his hand in his coat pocket."
Witnesses described the man as about 6 foot 2, Caucasian and in his 20s. He was wearing a navy blue, hooded jacket. Wood encouraged anyone with information about the robbery to call police at 527-1960 or 527-4434.
