A new airport director has taken charge of the Charlottesville Albemarle Regional Airport which means some changes may be on the radar.With major renovation projects planned and national cuts to airport funding, her list of priorities could soon be soaring.Melinda Crawford took over as director of CHO March 1."I love the airport I particularly love this area, it's a beautiful place to live and work," she said.Crawford came to CHO from the Pensacola Florida International Airport. Her staff says she brings "big airport experience" to this region."I think that you might see some cosmetic changes, you might see some changes in terms of...you might not notice it, but in our infrastructure," Crawford said.Changes to infrastructure like the 800 foot runway expansion project, a new taxiway, some ramp improvements where the aircraft park, and a runway overlay, or new pavement.Crawford says she's also considering parking expansion.
"Additional parking, and modification to parking, making access to ingress and egress parking," she said.She says her priority is the overall experience for fliers. "Maybe restroom improvements, access through the screening and exit, and mainly focusing on, as you come in as a passenger, what are you experiencing?"The sequester cuts that caused airport towers across the country to shut down is not affecting Charlottesville-Albemarle."We were very fortunate because we play a vital part in the transportation system for the nation," Crawford said.But other budget issues could still leave staff grounded, like cuts to the Transportation Security Administration. Crawford said they might not be able to fill a vacant position or they may not be able to have overtime. And now she has to be more mindful of money spent."This is probably one of the biggest assets the community has because it's not paid for with any tax dollars so every penny it takes to run this airport comes from within this airport," Crawford said. "So when we start looking at improvements we have to find out how to fund it."As for the recent decision by the TSA to allow pocket knives on planes, Crawford says the TSA is the expert on what should be allowed on planes and what shouldn't, and she supports its decisions."I really don't have a feeling one way or another about the knives," she said. "I do think they have a really tough job and sometimes they have to make hard decisions that everybody doesn't agree with and so we just try to support them and back them up."Crawford said she doesn't think TSA directors would be making the change if they didn't think it was in the best interest of national security."If it was going to endanger the security I don't think that they would have moved forward with it," she said.Either way, Crawford said she just hopes people choose to check out CHO.
"They have the ability to look around, but we just want to make sure they don't forget us."And moving forward, the sky's the limit."You have amazing air service for our region here with the destinations that we have, and the markets, and the service this staff has done a very great job," Crawford said.

PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush offers his prediction for the Week One showdown vs. the Saints at Lambeau Field Thursday evening.
It has been three seasons since the Packers last tangled with the Saints, but the memory of New Orleans' 51-29 Monday-night massacre still stings many of the Packers' key players. That's especially the case with the members of the secondary who performed in that game. I suspect CBs Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams and FS Nick Collins will be very motivated to make amends matched up against a Saints receiving corps that will be missing one of its primary targets in Lance Moore (groin).
Another key Saints player whose absence could really benefit the Packers is DE Will Smith, who is sitting out the first two games as punishment for taking banned substances. Had he been able to play, Smith might have caused real problems for aging Packers OLT Chad Clifton.
At the end of the night, I think more different Packers offensive weapons will make their presence collectively felt than the sum of the Saints' parts. Don't be shocked if fan favorite John Kuhn and veteran WR Donald Driver, who is only 42 yards short of setting a team record for receiving yards, end up being heroes. Also, look for a big play or two from new starting ROLB Erik Walden on defense.
Prediction: Packers 30, Saints 20

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
Although ferns don't bloom, their unique forms and textures provide exceptional visual interest in the garden. Combined with evergreen groundcovers, which do bloom, they fashion a beautiful, mixed interest garden bed that should require very little work during the gardening year.
Ferns are among some of the oldest plants on the planet, and they come in sizes that range from tight, groundcover forms such as Blechnum penna-marina (Alpine Water Fern) to towering tropical tree forms. While these are gorgeous and offered in many nurseries, seeking out ferns native to your locale will increase your gardening success rate. North American native ferns like Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum) and Deer Fern (Blechnum spicant) are fantastic evergreen options for mixed height, texture and beautiful year-round interest. The trick: prune them at just the right time, and it takes no time at all!
Many gardeners claim to dislike ferns because they "look messy" or are "hard to prune". The reality is many evergreen ferns have fronds (they're not called leaves on ferns) that last only a year or so. Then those older fronds die back and turn brown, but they remain woven among the newer growth. And, that's what causes the messiness, which is difficult to clean out from among so many other living fronds.
To avoid this mish-mash mess, instead cut all of the fronds from your fern to the ground late each winter or early each spring. Once all of the fronds are cut down, each plant should look like a tiny curled fist on the ground. Each of those fists will unfurl delicate fronds as the days of spring lengthen, forming a fresh new plant for the rest of the year. By making the cuts at the end of winter and just before the growth surge begins for spring, you will avoid the problem of snapping off tender, new growth as you cut. Plus, you will have enjoyed the prior year's fronds from the moment they surge forth in spring all the way through winter -- without ever looking at brown, dried out fronds. And, you'll only look at cut-down plants for a couple of weeks before they rise into beautiful new growth for the year ahead.
And while you're out cutting back those evergreen ferns, go ahead and cut back your evergreen groundcovers nearby. The same ploy applies: remove the prior year's growth at the end of winter just before new growth appears and before old growth browns out. The added bonus here: cutting back groundcovers like Epimediums and Vinca minor in late winter will expose all of their tiny, sweet spring flowers, which are often otherwise hidden below layers of older foliage. On Vinca, the flowers bloom on the growth closest to the ground, so mowing is an option in some gardens. On Epimediums, the flowers unfurl from the soil, so you need not worry that you'll raze the flowers by cutting back just before they bloom. Just watch carefully and be certain to do your trimming before the flower heads begin to expand. And, after you enjoy their lovely carpet of flowers, these plants will reward you with a fresh garden painting of weed-suppressing groundcover to enjoy for the whole year ahead.

|New Light, Harsh Light Shining On San Fernando Valley Boys & Girls Club
|Written by Mike Terry, Contributing Writer
|Thursday, 03 May 2012 02:22
Facility Receives Five State-Of-The- Art Solar Units, But Club Also Facing Large Budget Deficit
Sylmar resident and former football star Anthony Davis returned to the Boys & Girls Club in Pacoima, where he was once a member, to help celebrate the new solar lighting units installed in the club's game room. Davis helped connect the club's board of directors with the Ciralight company, which donated five lights to the the club.
PACOIMA – What should have been a celebration here Monday, April 30, was yet another reminder of still tough economic times in the North East Valley.
The Boys & Girls Club was showing visitors the newly donated state-of-the-art solar lighting units illuminating the club's game room.
But during a club luncheon acknowledging the gift, club president and CEO Leroy Chase put the club's financial situation in another light – a stark one.
Chase said the club is currently facing a $200,000 deficit in its operating budget, and is desperately in need of additional funding or face staff cuts – even possible closure.
He said without new resources, he would have to slash the 26-member club staff in half. He has already started reducing the club's hours of operation, and is looking at other ways to keep its doors open.
"What hurts is, it appears society focuses too much on gang programs rather than programs that keep kids from joining gangs," Chase said. "We're about prevention; we're going on 47 years in one of the neediest communities in Los Angeles. But getting [financial] support sometimes is worse than pulling teeth.
"You can get money for a building, a school, or a clubhouse. But having a building doesn't accomplish anything. You have to have well-trained personnel that have a concern for young people and the community."
Chase said the club used to open at 7 a.m., and stay open until 8 p.m. Now "our basic programs are starting at 2 p.m., and go until 7 p.m. We are closing on Fridays. We may have to cut back further than that."
He said that included closing the club completely.
"We're in the process of a campaign to keep the club doors open. But we need money like yesterday," Chase said. "Our board members are making calls, trying to get additional funding. But our utility bills ($4,000 a month) are mounting; our insurance bill ($38,000 a year) should be in the mail today. And that's not serving one kid yet.
"It's the cost of doing business, we realize that. But we need more individuals to acknowledge we're doing the job; that we've been here 47 years. We need more people here to come see the club so they know what they're investing in. We want people to see what we are continuing to do, and to see it firsthand."
Before revealing the club's bleak financial situation, Chase and board members took time to thank and acknowledge former football star Anthony Davis, and Ciralight Global president and CEO Jeff Brain for the donation of five solar skylights for the game room.
Davis – who starred at the University of Southern California in the 1970s and who went on to play professionally in the National Football League and Canadian Football League – connected the club's board of directors with Brain and his Los Angeles-based green energy company. Brain agreed to donate the solar units, valued at $1,200 each.
Brain said each self-contained unit, which sits on the roof above the game room, uses a GPS tracker attached to a mirror that follows the course of the sun throughout the day. The mirror rotates, redirecting the sun's light into the room. Each unit produces the equivalent of 800 watts of florescent light, and provide for more than 10 hours.
Chase said the club wanted "to thank them for the skylights" and demonstrate how others cam get involved in bringing costs of facility down.
"The key is getting support from individuals though the city in order to help us make impact of young people," he said. "This Northeast valley, and families we serve, is one of the poorest. We're talking about those who are janitors, working in restaurants, secretaries … general labor. The majority of our members come from families of that nature."
He said the solar units, which were installed four months ago, were helping in cutting back utility costs.
But if there is no additional funding coming forth, those solar lights – and the others in the club – will be turned off for who knows how long.
If you'd like to donate to the club, you can visit them on line at www.bgcsfv.org, or send a donation to Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley, 11251 Glenoaks Blvd., Pacoima, CA, 91331.

Trott: Continuing 'not fair on my team-mates'
Jonathan Trott says continuing to play cricket would not be fair on his team-mates, while he recovers from a stress-related illness.
The Warwickshire and England batsman had returned to action for his county after coming home early from England's tour of Australia this winter, due to anxiety problems.
It was with the best intentions and hope that I returned to cricket with Warwickshire this month. Much to my disappointment, since my first game, I have felt the same anxieties that occurred during my time in Australia.
It is not fair on my team-mates or myself to continue when I am unable to function at 100%. In order to play at the highest level you have to be at 100% and be able to concentrate fully at all times. Sadly I am unable to do this.
– Jonathan Trott
With this in mind I have decided it is best for all involved that I continue my recovery on the sidelines for the time being. I would like to thank Warwickshire and the ECB for their continued support through this time.

A - Into a tall Paulaner glass: cloudy pale apple cider-like appearance with a modest but dense white cap and lacing.
S - Corriander, some banana, white pepper, and clove.
T - Pretty much as it smells, with the white pepper up front that fades to the spice, green apple and bannana hints. Finishes a bit sour.
M - Light carbonation and a bit creamy.
D - Nice drinkability - would be decent for warmer weather.

Hazy orange color with a tightly packed white head. It smells of wheat, and some clove which is not surprising given the style. There are some banana flavors and not much carbonation which gives a flat mouthfeel. I really liked Hale's Mongoose IPA but this one fell short for me.

Appearance: light hazy golden yellow in color. A one finger head falls quickly to surface spots. Soft spotty lacing develops.
Smell: banana and a hint of spices.
Taste: mild grain malt level with noticeable bananas, clove, lemon, and a bit of yeast spiciness. Mildy refreshing.
Mouthfeel: lightly dry and crisp from start to finish. Very short grainy banana aftertaste. Light-medium in body.
Drinkability: pretty decent. I can say it easy to quaff and the flavor profile is good. Worth a try.

A "West Coast" Hefe. Pours the requisite Hefeweizen straw color with the standard big head with tiny bubbles.
Smell is very mild but there is cloves, bananas and astringency.
Tastes starts out the same as the smell. The hefeweizen flavors are more pronounced than the aroma....but wait, whats that at the end....?
A strong hops finish!!!
In all, it works fairly well. Somebody looking for a standard hefeweizen will be disappointed with the finish, but it is a pretty good beer overall.
Mouthfeel is rich. The switch from astringent to bitter at the end would be more pleasing to some than others and this would affect mouthfeel and drinkabiltiy.
I could enjoy several of these on a hot day. THose that don't fancy West Coast hops in their hefeweizen should look elsewhere.

Served from a growler into a shaker glass.
A- Poured a bright hazy golden color with white soapy head that dissipated instantly and left no lace.
S- Pretty traditional aroma of bubblegum, clove, and banana. Although not a very strong aroma.
T- Big bubblegum notes, banana, and clove. Pretty balances and traditional flavor profile.
M- Light bodied, prickly carbonation, and a slightly watery finish.
O- A very traditional tasting hefeweizen that does not differentiate itself much from others in the style. A little more body and aroma would have been nice, but a nice easy drinking beer.

I bought a bomber of El Jefe while traveling in western Washington. Poured in to a weizen glass.
Pours a pale gold color and is hazy, with a little yeast residue in the glass. Many bubbles are seen rising through the beer. A rich, foamy white head forms, and is very resilient.
The smell is strong, sweet and fruity. There is a soft fruit aroma of pears and apples, Also a bit of spice aroma like cinnamon.
The taste is nice, a traditional clove and banana flavor, with a little bitterness with it.
Mouthfeel is light and dry. There is a bit of a dry paper feel to it.
A very drinkable and authentic tasting hefe. I would have this again, and I'd love to try it on tap.

Pours an effervescent bronze with 4+ fingers pillowy sand-colored head. Stays effervescent, below average head retention & average lacing
S: Slight phenolic & pepper notes
T: Clovey & fruitty up front. Lemons, bananas, grassyness & pepper are all present as this warms. Finishes with pineapple, honey, lemony hops & a little grainyness
MF: Spritzy, somewhat soft with medium body.
Drinks pretty easy, good take on the style

Slightly hazy pale golden color. Decent fluffy little head.
Smell is pretty inviting. Lots of lemon zest, pepper, clove, white grape, and some earthy aromas present.
Starts a bit sweet with lemon and banana flavors. Pepper and hop flavors are pronounced. Hop flavors are spicy. Tartness comes in towards the finish. Ends bitter. Tastes pretty good.
Mouthfeel is really light and a bit prickly.
This is a pretty good beer. I wouldn't call it a Hefeweizen but El Jefe sounds so cool. I think if this was a tad less bitter I could drink a whole lot more of it. Still a good brew.

Hale's El Jefe pours a clearer than might be expected hefe. It's hazy - even quite hazy - but not cloudy. You really need to stir up that yeast! And, once it's in there it helps round the flavor. Golden in color. Bright-white frothy head. Retention should be better. Lacing could be better. The nose is phenolic, but plastic-like rather than banana-like. Lots of fruit. Peach. Green banana. Apple. Dull plum. Interesting. In the mouth it's light-medium in body with a crisp effervescence. The flavor shows some more of the yeasty phenolic character, but otherwise it's clean. Basic. Wheatish malt. Lots of yeasty fruitiness. Just lightly sweet. Well-balanced. Finishes short and dry. Not too phenolic. A decent American weizen.

22oz bottle poured into pint glass. Pale yellow and fairly hazy. Medium thick white head forms nicely.
Traditional yeasty citrus-wheat aroma. Big bubbles float up through the beer.
Flavor is dead on for an American/German-style hefeweiss. Very lemony/citrusy. Good wheat flavor, not just for show, and fresh. Moderate bitterness. A good bit of clove. The only fault I can find with this beer is that the lemon flavor is a little strong...I wonder if there's something added.
I should note that my bottle had a bunch of sediment firmly in the bottom -- agitating it produced a much cloudier pour with no damage to the flavor, while reducing the carbonation nicely.
Having moved to Seattle from Boston this could totally challenge UFO as my every day drinking hefeweiss.

The beer after decanting the 22-ounce bottle pours a cloudy amber color with a prestigious creamy white head that settles leaving the lace to form a solid sheet on the glass. Nose is earthy, sweet with wheat, citrus like crispness, spicy, start is pleasantly sweet, decent grain profile; just a light touch of bitterness at the back, top is light to moderate in feel. Finish has a mild to medium acidity, the hops understated but present and accounted for, sweetness carries on until the end, fairly dry, and a nice clean and refreshing beer to start off a Sunday afternoon.

Presentation: 12 fluid ounce brown glass bottle sealed with a green colored crown cap. Single lime-green label has a picture of a Colonel Sanders type figure complete with white hair and a black hat. Labeled as El Jefe Weizen Ale, a rather cheesy name play I have to say. The Boss has no listed strength or Best Before Date.
Appearance: Glad I used my Erdinger Weissbräu tall glass because the luscious white head positively raced up the glass sides and filled it with a minimal amount of fluid. As it collapsed with an audible fizz the, rested white head soon returns to more logical proportions and sits atop a fused golden body. More milky, than clouded, yet held to the light the body soon exhibits a faded straw torso. Reasonable head retention, but time kills the white collar and the lack of lacing ultimately detracts.
Smell: Reigns soft fruits with freshly peeled bananas. Tartness licks its own back end with a long sharp tongue. Decent strength with a self-confident I know where Im going feel about it.
Taste: The first mouthful portrayed an average Hefe feel, but subsequent samples started to reveal a very fruity body, lots of tropical island fruits with some banana. Soft peaches and passion fruit mix with the wheat in the middle, but the finish has a little acidity and a citric pucker, maybe from the hops, who knows. Sweet fruity finish with vague hints of bubblegum in the latter quarter of the Bomber, but this has a solid ending.
Mouthfeel: Light airy body to start with, but closer inspection and a longer exposure to this one shows that it has a fulfilling Mouthfeel without ever dominating the traditional soft feel of Hefes. Carbonation is slick with a spritzy demeanor.
Drinkability: A solid Weizen with a fruity tropical dimension that really lends quaffability to what can otherwise be a rather boring style.
Overall: Picked this one at BevMo, with such a corny name I almost left it on the shelf but I figured I would give it a whirl. Im glad that I did, for this is a nice fruity angle on the American Hefeweizen.

A"fishtail" braid is a fun twist on the traditional French braid. Beauty Expert Jessica Metivier says "it's a little more grown up and a little edgier."
Instead of three pieces like you usually do, you'll use only two.Once you divide your hair in two sections, simply take a small piece from the back of one of them, and bring it over the front and around the opposite section.
Then, do the same on the other side, alternating from one side to the other.
Keep the pieces really thin, just to get the full effect of the braid. Continue taking pieces from alternating sides and bringing them over, creating a "fish tail" effect.
"This twist on a classic look does take a little longer to do, but I promise you, it's worth it," says Jessica. Now that you're done braiding, secure the end with a hair tie. If you have a lot of little baby hairs or fly aways, try spraying a little hairspray onto your hands to smooth them back.

DEC unveils spruce grouse plan
Albany, NY, Feb 06, 2012 — State officials say they hope to save endangered spruce grouse, one of the most iconic birds in the Adirondack Park.
Under a plan released by New York's Conservation Department, more habitat would be protected in the northwestern corner of the Adirondacks.
That's where most of the region's boreal spruce-fir forests are found.
Biologists say they may also reintroduce more of the birds from Canada, where populations remain strong.
In a statement, DEC assistant commissioner Kathleene Moser said the spruce grouse is an important part of the Park's biodiversity.
Without some kind of plan, biologists say the birds could go extinct in the region this decade.
A 30-day comment period on the spruce grouse recovery plan continues through March 1st.

I felt assured from the first meeting that my case would be handled with the utmost proficiency and expertise. I was not disappointed on any level. Great job!!
Thanks again,
joseph and the staff at his office where very helpful through the whole case. this is the second time i used joseph and would use him again. thank you joseph rinker
Joe and his team are on top of everything , They handled everything quickly and efficiently and had answers for every question that arose, I could not have asked for a more knowledgable group of professionals to handle my w/c case. I would definitely recommend Martin LLC to anyone who should need a w/c lawyer!
They handled all of the work but they always kept me informed if what was going on. When we actually had to appear in court they sent me the paperwork in advance. They also call you the day before to remind you. The day of my lawyer showed up early and made sure I understood exactly what was going on and exactly what I had to say. They are very helpful, very professional and very organized. I would definitely recommend them!
I was referred by a Lawyer in Lehigh Valley Pa for Martin & Banks, I was really surprised my case was settled so quickly. I was told it could go years before I saw any settlement money and 6 months later my case settled, I am very pleased to work with Martin & Banks and would recommend them to anyone who needs a good lawyer for WC.
I was referred to Joe by a colleague and was very impressed. He was straightforward, understanding, and worked with me toward a good resolution. I never felt pressured or harried during any of our interactions. I would definitely recommend him.
My interactions with Mr. Huttemann spanned for about three years, in which I was dealing with a case of Workers Compensation against a big company with a great reputation. I had been referred to him by another attorney who believed Mr. Huttemann would be the best in handling my case. Indeed, he was not wrong! I had never had the need for an attorney so I was very unfamiliar with such circumstances and needless to say, I didn't know how to act. Mr. Huttemann was great at communicating with me and walking me through the process (my expectations, clarifying the situation, words of encouragement, etc). Every time a new happening with my case took place, he put it in perspective as to what an occurrence meant for ME. The case lasted exactly the amount of time as he has anticipated and the outcome was pretty much what he had expected all along. I now realize that once this man takes upon himself a new case, it's because he truly believes in his client and has a good understanding of the finish line! This made me feel extremely lucky to have an attorney with such expertise. Mr. Huttemann was easy to approach and speak with, always keeping in contact with me whenever it was necessary and overall, made me feel like someone was on top of my case and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. I'm so glad the previous attorney recommended me to him, because it shows that fellow professionals in the field really trust him due to his past experiences and continuous quality work. Thank you Mr. Huttemann, for always having my back, even when I was confused as to what would follow after every step. You really made a difference in me winning my case through such professionalism.
I had gotten injured in Jan/2011...My employer's insurance company and dr's tried to force me back to work prematurely, I was up against a wall and started researching my rights when I came across the firm of Martin Banks! I inquired through the internet and immediately had an appointment within their offices! My attorney was Joseph Huttemann and from day one he explained the law to me very clearly and began helping me get the treatment I needed and was entitiled to! His office was in contact with me throughout the whole process and explained everything! I would highly recommend this firm to anyone that was injured at work and is being pushed around despite their injuries!
Joe and especially his staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He produced as much as possible in a short period of time. Thank you very much.

Um...everyone got rocked this week. Achilles, go easy on us next week, will ya? The questions were:
1. True or False: UCLA will have 60 or more penalty yards. False
2. Name a Bruin who will score a rushing TD. None
3. Who will lead the Bruins in tackles? Kyle Bosworth
No one got all three right, and quite a few people seem to think that "K. Bosworth" is specific enough for me to figure out which Bosworth they were guessing. Come on, people! You have to know better than that.
The top 10 is basically unchanged from last week, with a couple of exceptions:

The Precision Machined Products Association's (PMPA) Business Trends Index (BTI) for May 2013 showed very little change from the previous month, suggesting a "steady as she goes" new normal for precision machined part sales.
The BTI of 125 ticked up one point from the March and April indices, and bested the May 2012 reading by 10 points. Although this stasis could be a sign that bigger industrial investment is needed to increase returns, PMPA noted that the three-month moving average was higher than the 12-month moving average for industry shipments.
According to the report, which relied on responses from 95 precision machine parts manufacturers, 81 percent of precision machine parts manufacturers felt sales would remain static for the next three months, a drop of 4 percent from April. Eighty-six percent of respondents expected lead times to remain the same, while 92 percent see employment increasing or staying the same in the next three months. Finally, 86 percent of respondents expect profitability to remain the same or improve in the next three months.
Respondents to the PMPA BTI were split on sales in May, with 48 logging sales declines against 47 reporting gains. PMPA noted that overall aggregate shipments remain high and positive–10 points higher than for the same period in 2012, suggesting that "the strength of shipments on a shop-by-shop basis seems highly uncertain – a flip of the coin."

I forget exactly where I found out about the EI8IJ Fund, which promotes amateur radio clubs in Ireland, but when I did read about it, I thought, "What a great idea!" Here's how the Irish Radio Transmitting Society (IRTS) website describes the EI6IJ Fund:
Each year, in order to promote Amateur Radio to the public, the Committee will consider the awarding of a number of grants to Affiliated Clubs. These grants will primarily be funded by a kind donation by the late John O'Riordan EI6IJ. The grants will be of around €300, usually not exceeding a total of €1000 in any one year, and are to assist with the mounting of public special event stations by clubs affiliated to IRTS. The stations should have significant public exposure with the specific intention of demonstrating Amateur Radio to members of the public. The funds may be allocated in one or more grants, or not at all, depending on the nature of applications received.
The ARRL continually pays lips service to clubs, but rarely do they ever put their money where their mouth is. Perhaps instead of spending so much time and effort to raise funds for W1AW, they should spend some of that loot on a program such as this which will reach many more people.
If your club could apply for such a grant, how would you use the money?

Curiosity Lands on Google Mars
Here's a little map I put together after looking up the landing location of Curiosity on Google Mars.
The Curiosity Map shows the location of Gale Crater on Mars and the estimated landing location of the Curiosity Rover. I've also thrown in an image captured by NASA's Orbiter during Curiosity's parachute landing and an excellent animation created by Nasa of Curiosity's journey and landing on the red planet.

A SERIOUS accident involving a cyclist along the B3078 at Godshill has prompted a concerned wife to issue an appeal for witnesses.
Katrina Chiverton's husband Gary arrived home after being knocked off his bike.
He thought he was ok, but Mrs Chiverton realised there was something terribly wrong and when she got him to hospital in Salisbury they realised he had suffered a broken neck, as well as a shoulder injury and concussion.
Now Mrs Chiverton is appealing for the people in two vehicles that stopped to help her husband to come forward, believing they might have believed him when he insisted he was all right and cycled off.
She had: "I have a horrible feeling they stopped to help and that he might have been funny with them because of the head injury. They may have thought he was drunk or something - we know that he turned down the offer of calling an ambulance at the time.
"Of course we now know he was very badly injured but he was insisting he was fine, even though I could see he clearly was not.
"That whole stretch of road is a complete and utter rat run and people speed along there all the time – it's an awful, awful road.
"We really need to know what happened, and I would urge anyone who saw anything to get in touch with the police."
Mr Chiverton was training for the 300-plus-mile Tour of Wessex event when the collision happened, at about 3pm on Sunday, February 2, between the car parks of Ashley Walk and Godshill Cricket Club, not far from the Fighting Cocks pub. Two 4x4 vehicles, one pulling a livestock trailer, are believed to have stopped at the scene, and were there when Mr Chiverton regained consciousness.
Mrs Chiverton, from Cranborne, said: "One minute he was cycling, the next he remembers being unclipped from his pedals.
"Even his teeth have been affected, and he's looking at three-to-six months recovering from the broken neck, even before they operate on his shoulder. His helmet saved his life.
"This is a very busy road and as it was Sunday one would assume a lot of cyclists, walkers and motorists would have been around, especially as this was the first nice day of weather that there had been for a long time.
"Someone must have seen what happened."
Anyone who witnessed the collision, helped Mr Chiverton or saw a vehicle towing a trailer around this time on the B3078 can contact PC Rob Ellis at Ringwood Police Station on 101.

SOURCE Chamber of Shipping of British Columbia
VANCOUVER, June 17, 2014 /CNW/ - The Chamber of Shipping of British Columbia today welcomed the federal government's decision to approve the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Chamber President Captain Stephen Brown said the decision confirms the conclusion of the work undertaken by the Joint Review Panel that Northern Gateway is in the country's national interest and can be operated safely on land and on water.
"The technology enhancements driving today's marine industry including mandatory double-hulled tanker construction provide an unprecedented level of protection for B.C.'s coast," said Brown.
"It should also be appreciated that the marine industry is governed by strict international and Canadian regulations detailing every aspect of operational safety and preparedness. These measures combined with the presence of highly-trained Canadian marine pilots and powerful escort tugs will ensure the safe shipment of petroleum products from Northern Gateway to new markets in Asia."
"Shipping plays a critical role in ensuring the success of the economy of British Columbia and the future of Canada's resource sector," he said. "The safe movement of resources is the foundation of global trade and ensuring our provincial participation in the global economy."
"Global trade supports tens of thousands of jobs in BC and across Canada. At the same time, trade contributes heavily towards generating the much needed financial resources that are required to provide the level of services that all hard working Canadians deserve.
For these reasons I am extremely proud of our industry's stellar record of service and safety, also why I believe very strongly that Northern Gateway can be operated safely on our coast."

The Haven House Holiday Newsletter heralded a good year for the emergency shelter and domestic violence program, with staff and board members concentrating on developing a three-year plan, partnering with Mane Support to provide equine-assisted therapy to clients, upgrading the computer system for case management tracking and receiving several grants to help sustain the program.
One of the most unique fund-raising events also premiered in 2008. "Rachel Rising: A Celebration of Women in the Arts" was the project and heart of Rebekkah Hilgraves, a relative newcomer to Blount who was a victim of abuse. Rebekkah, a celebrated soprano, lost her desire for her music because of circumstances around the abuse, but has found her way back and written "Rachel Rising," a cycle of 15 poems she wrote after surviving the domestic violence situation 11 years ago.
Hilgraves premiered the song cycle by organizing and performing in a fund raiser for Haven House in October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
In 2008, Haven House has served 725 women, men and children by providing crisis intervention, case management, resources, referrals, transportation, individual and group counseling and prevention programs. Thousands of others were reached through public awareness programs and media coverage spearheaded by Haven House.

News: Lil Wayne's "Carter IV" Tracks Trashed, "He's Going To Probably Start From Scratch"
Saturday, Sep 18, 2010 10:26AM
Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne's highly-anticipated Tha Carter IV will reportedly have its songs trashed and replaced by new material following the Young Money leader's release from jail this November.
According to Weezy's manager Cortez Bryant, the rapper's work ethic will force him back into the studio for post-jail records.
What's more, many of the tracks on Human Being, which Wayne cut before going to jail, were "approved" to be included on his hugely anticipated Tha Carter IV but will be released now so that Wayne can fill IV with new music instead. "I know once he got out [of jail] those songs would be so old to him," Bryant explains. Bryant says the notoriously workaholic Wayne will immediately hit the studio once he gets released and that he will most likely release another mixtape of material before turning his attention to Tha Carter IV, which Bryant now estimates won't hit stores until next year. "He's going to probably start from scratch," says Bryant. "I know how he records--he's in the studio every single day. That's his life." (SPIN)
Prior to Cortez's remarks, Young Money president Mack Maine said Carter IV would likely drop on the day Wayne is released from Rikers Island.
"Tha Carter IV plans we had and still have are to put Tha Carter IV out the day he comes out [of prison]," Mack said in an interview. "He had so many songs for Tha Carter IV, we said let's just put these 10 songs out [on I Am Not a Human Being] and double-back for Tha Carter IV. He has more songs for Tha Carter IV that are still strong...It's basically me, him, Baby and [manager] Cortez Bryant mapping it out. We had a listening session out here. It was me, Baby and Cortez. I let [Wayne] know these are the ones we picked. He already picked six of them from back there. I let him hear it over the phone. I book him a studio session -- kinda like I did for the 'Light Up' up remix with Drake. I book him a studio session and let him listen [to tracks] over the phone. 'Do you like this one?' 'Yeah?'" (MTV)
Earlier this month, Tha Bizness' Henny talked with SOHH about submitting tracks for Carter IV.
"We ended up giving him another CD and on that CD, he recorded to like, 14 of the 18 joints that were on there. So, hopefully some of them go on Tha Carter IV and some of them like the "Getter" joint he did for Michael Phelps, but you never know. He stays working and we stay working. It might be more once he gets out or, you never know, there should be a couple on there." (SOHH Guest Star)
Wayne's videographer DJ Scoob Doo recently said the project would be accompanied with multiple visuals.
"I got videos for the Carter IV and the I'm not a Human Being EP all ready. I can't say the name of the song but Wayne was singing on the hook, but they're getting Drake to re-do it and it's off the Human Being EP," Scoob says. "Carter IV is probably the best album I've heard in the last decade, but Wayne is such a different artist now that wants to record new music when he comes home. The stuff he's talking about now is just on another level. That's why a lot of the songs on the EP were originally taken from the Carter IV." (VIBE)
Lil Wayne is currently scheduled to be released from Rikers Island on November 4th, after serving time for a gun conviction.

Contract talks between Elvis Dumervil and the Denver Broncos have reportedly broken down, according to Mike Klis of The Denver Post. The two sides have not communicated well lately, which increases the likelihood Dumervil will be looking for a new team when free agency begins Tuesday afternoon.
For more on the Broncos, check out Mile High Report
Dumervil's agent Marty Magid sent the Broncos a restructuring proposal this past Friday, but he hasn't heard back from the team. Denver wants Dumervil to take a pay cut from the $12 million he is owed for 2013. If a new contract can't be agreed upon, the Broncos could release their star pass rusher.
If Dumervil becomes a free agent, he will immediately boost the pass rushing class available this offseason. Dumervil recorded 11 sacks last season and has a total of 63.5 since entering the league back in 2006. He recorded a career-high 17 sacks in 2009.
Klis indicates Dumervil wants to stay in Denver, but the feeling may not be mutual for his price in the Mile High city. Osi Umenyiora, Dwight Freeney, Michael Bennett, and Paul Kruger currently headline the best pass rushers available. Dumervil jumps towards the top of that list if he is released.

June 4th, 2010Musings
Yearbooks came home today, and I'm so pleased with it. My son's school has only been open for 3 years now, so I realize the yearbook staff are doing a bit of trial and error work in looking for what works best for our school. Each year's book has been better than the last, and this year I think they really hit their stride. Finally, we've got a full-color, hardback book. I think they realized this year that parents will shell out a bit more for a good quality book ($25, as I recall). I'm still a bit irked by the book 2 years ago whose cover came off the day my son brought it home.
One thing I really like about the book is that parents were invited to submit pictures they'd taken throughout the year at school events, field trips, etc for consideration. Of course, I loaded up a flash drive and turned one in. The results? At least 3 great candid shots of my son, and who knows if I've missed one or two?Tags: yearbook

Yeah, unemployment is pretty badly implemented. You're basically punished for finding work. You have a full-time job, for instance, and get laid off, so you're collecting unemployment of $90 a week. Then one week you find a temp-job that lets you work for two days and make $100 that week. Now you are no longer eligible for unemployment benefits because the last job you had was a temp-job.
Worse. I was on unemployment and cgot an adjunct poistion at the local community college for 2 semesters. While I was on unemployment, my net amount plus residual from unemployment was less than my previous unemployment. After the contract expired and unemployment resumed, the amount was based on the contract amount, not the amount from my previous job.
All that and I still didn't find another permanent job until almost 2 years.

why does Spock Prime think Kirk is the capt?
In the cave, he meets the young Kirk. In the original timeline, Spock must surly have known that a Kirk that young would not be Capt.
ALso, when Nero captured Spock Prime, why did Spock fall to his knees? Very un Vulcan like.
I'd wondered about your first point too. Maybe he's just so used to thinking of Kirk as the Captain that he forgot about the age difference for a second and simply assumed that the Kirk in front of him was Captain too? As for the second, it look like he felt mentally/emotionally defeated or something maybe. Sort of a momentary, "I give up."
...and why did young Spock bend down on the transporter pad when he went to rescue his parents? Was he afraid the sky was going fall on his head?
Remember this is directed by the same guy who made a TV show about a magical tropical island of miracles, where polar bears live and disappear and lottery numbers are cursed.:confused1:
It's never gonna make sense again.:huh:
That's standard beaming procedure, you knew that surely!:sad:
Second, he's old, he just travelled through a spatial distortion and saw his home destroyed - maybe he got a little confused.
He did say he was 'emotionally compromised'.
I tend to think Spock would automatically say Captain out of habit.
Better than to ask why Spock knelled down is to ask why didn't they beam him to the mouth of the cave in the first place. It would have shaved off the 20 or 30 seconds needed to keep mom from falling to her death.
Ahh yes it's a movie.

Community Service is a program in which the students in groups or individually do social service. The principle of the program is to make differences and improvements in society. It aims to develop the students' concern toward social problems and at the same time to enhance their skills of project based learning-- planning, managing and evaluating projects especially in social development.
Students should accomplish a minimum of 70 hours, done during the holidays (Saturday, Sunday, or term breaks). The 70 hour project includes activities of preparation, initial survey and observation, fieldwork, making field-notes, and making reports and presentations of the results. They are given opportunities to choose one of the social groups to be served as well as the forms and themes of service to be developed. They should plan and design the community service proposal to be presented to the principal and management team prior to the implementation.

The Ultimate Fighter Brasil Episode 11 Video – Coaches Challenge Show.
I cannot believe how stubborn some people can be! Your real strength is the ground game and yet you choose to fight the stand up game which is your opponent's strentgh! Damn, that's not just stubborn, it's plain stupid…
Much more passion with these guys than the American shows.
@ Bjj777 look how many times he tried to take him down… Sarafian's takedown defense was very effective.
I swear I heard him yell Tiger Knee before that flying knee… Sagat would be proud
i agree……….
BJJ7777…Serginho tried to take Daniel down several times…He couldn't keep him down and had trouble several times attempting to take him down. Daniel was simply too strong for him. You say it's stupid for Serginho to fight the stand up game, yet you fail to realize that Daniel made him fight the stand up game. It wasn't by choice. Great win for Daniel…
i personal think silva is a crap coach he has brought in other fighters as coaches has not worked vitor would have punched him to F*** if they fought
Daniel is even better then I thought.He managed to shut down a BJJ world champ in the clinch and on the ground the front kicks were great and that flying knee was just perfect.
You need new glasses? He attempted a ton of takedowns, you can't take it to the ground if your opponent is defending or getting right up after you take em down.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - A crash shuts down part of Highway 93.
It happened on Tuesday just after 11:00 AM. Police say a Smart car heading south ran a red light and hit a Ford Taurus traveling east on Lorch Avenue. The driver of the Smart car was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. The driver of the other car wasn't transported, but later went to the hospital on their own for knee and chest pain.

Pam Hicks, a key player in the West Memphis 3 case in Arkansas was arrested Nov. 15 in Mississippi County, Ark., for disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, and resisting arrest after police said she trespassed at the Auction Barn, a stones throw from her house.
Hicks had to be treated at a county hospital for injuries she suffered during a confrontation with police, a family member told FOX13 News.
She is the mother of Stevie Branch, who was murdered in 1993 along with two of his friends.
Earlier this year Hicks filed a lawsuit in an attempt to see all the evidence in her son's high profile death, but the judge didn't side with her.
Hicks, though, shares a completely different side of the story.
Hicks was bruised up after what she says is police brutality. These charges stem from a several months of feuding between her neighbors.
"There wasn't anyone out there but me, (a Mississippi County Sheriff's deputy) and God, when he picked me up and threw me to the pavement," Hicks told FOX13 News.
The 48-year-old mother says she's a victim of police brutality.
"He threw his arm back behind my back, and them had my face down on concrete," she recalled. "I was screaming for my mom ... stuck his knee in my back."
While Hicks said the deputy used excessive force, the sheriff's department report said Hicks refused to be arrested and tried to get back into her home.
Hicks said the brutality is marked outside her front door, marked with blood stains.
"He never would tell me his reasoning for being here," she said.
Deputies say Hicks trespassed onto the Auction Barn, which is next to her home. The sheriff's report points out Hicks admitted she knew she could not be on the property, but chose to ignore.
"It's all a fabricated lie," Hicks told FOX13 News.
Hicks says the arrest stems from a six-month dispute between her other neighbors, who previously filed a harassment charge against her. Hicks says she's fed up and plans to move out of the area in December, but won't back down on her latest legal battle.
"I feel totally wounded by State of Arkansas once again," she said. "May 5, 1993, West Memphis Police Department did not take my cry for help seriously about my son missing. Twenty years later, I'm being thrown down by a Mississippi County police officer."
Hicks appeared in court Monday to face charges. Her bond was set at $1,140. She posted bond and is out of jail. She now awaits a Jan. 17 court date.
FOX13 News reporter Bofta Yimam contributed to this report.

My 9/11 Prayer
It is the evening of September 11th, 2007 – the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on American soil by Islamic Jihadists. I am driving home from work, listening to the ceremonies and tributes paid on NPR. I am nearly home. Just as I round the corner to an adjacent street, I see this new message on the church marquee:
You are reading that marquee right. The good folks at Skyline Baptist Church have seen fit to place this threat of eternal fire to the heathen and the promise of eternal paradise to the saint to commemorate this anniversary…

New Age Christianity
Norway is a constitutional monarchy without separation of Church and State. The constitution declares the "Evangelical-Lutheran religion" to be the State's religion, and also requires the king to hold to and protect this religion. You can imagine, then, that when Princess Märtha Louise (who, had not law at the time of her birth favored males, would have been heir to the throne) decides to start up an independent school which will educate its students in such New Age concepts as healing, reading and contact with angels, by media dubbed "the angel school", there's gonna be some public discussion. When this occurs during summer—when there's simply less news for the media to write about—it's caused massive media coverage.
Reactions are varied, of course: a televangelist condemned her as being a demon from Hell; a range of people condemned her as a fraud and for immorally profitting from people's spiritual needs (some of them hypocritically looking the other way when they, as employees of the State Church, do the same); a lot of people demanded that she withdraw her membership in Den Norske Kirke, the State Church; the Princess herself thinks that, had she lived some hundred years past, she would've been burned as a witch; and a lot of people, including Crown Princess Mette-Marit, spoke out in her defence.
As an atheist, this fight between religions is both amusing and depressing. In my eyes, Christianity and New Age-style healing, miracles, contact with angels and the like are all contestants on the same, irrational game field…

The Persecution Complex
Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when [men] shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all kind of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven… You are the light of the world. (Matthew 5:10-14a)
It could be argued that this is the beginning of the Christian persecution complex – or at least the reason for it. Of course, the early church had plenty of "valid" reasons to be persecuted – their core beliefs were directly opposed to the established Jewish community from which they arose and, furthermore, the early Christians, especially of the Pauline variety, were downright treasonous in the eyes of the Caesar-worship of the time. These beliefs had little to do with morality, and everything to do with loyalty. Martyrdom – not the kamikaze murderous kind of present extremism – became an increasingly noble cause. In the time of Ignatius – writing in the late 1st century, possibly predating some canonical gospels and pseudo-Pauline epistles – martyrdom was perhaps the single greatest act of faith that a Christian could show (see Ignatius' letter to the Romans). It was, after all, the ultimate act of following Christ…

The book that made me doubt my Christian faith
Many doubting Christians and apostate former Christians seem to enjoy the recent publications of anti-Christian polemics. Most of us are by now aware of the storm of debate caused by books from the likes of Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. I have not read any of these books. My tastes tend toward older, academic, lesser known books that I can check out free from the library or find in dusty corners of a used book store. And most of my Christian doubt was fueled by some very unlikely sources.
My slide away from Christianity began in large part to this seemingly innocent book, Let the Trumpet Sound – A Life of Martin Luther King, by Stephen Oates. I have always had questions and doubts about my faith, as most honest Christians do, but this book forced me to confront those doubts head-on, to take them from under the rug, and to seriously re-evaluate my beliefs in Christianity.
Early last year, I was convicted by my ignorance of some practical aspects of the world around me. I am educated, yet I knew next to nothing about the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s. So I picked up this 500 page biography of Martin Luther King…

A widespread shortage of prescription painkillers like "oxycodone" is leaving many patients in need out in the cold.
In between filling dozens of prescriptions, Medicine Shoppe owner Deborah van Sant worries about her patients. "There's a huge drug problem across the nation. Several pharmacies and wholesalers have been shut down," van Sant said.
Pharmacists blame this on "pill mills" - doctors and nurse practitioners willing to write a prescription, no questions asked. Under the watchful eyes of the federal government, drug companies have cut down on the shipments they're sending local pharmacies.
And it's hurting guys like Chris Earhardt. He suffers from Compartment Syndrome. There's a lack of blood to his leg that causes nerve damage.
"It's hurting me," Earhardt said. "You can't get any kind of pain medication anymore. I can go to four to five different pharmacies here around my house [and] may end up on the west side to even get it."
It's frustrating pharmacists as well. "I'm not able to get the amount of medication in my store to supply my established clientele's needs," van Sant said.
Not able to fill every prescription, pharmacies are now putting strict protocols in place to cut down on prescription drug abuse."Then we make a determination," van Sant said. "Based on all that information whether or not we feel comfortable filling the prescription or not."
She said she has had to turn people away.
Earhardt says he understands the concerns. After downing these pills for months, he wonders if he, too, is addicted.

Despite all the noise from silly-season and Danny trying to pull heist from desperate GMs Danny has done outstanding job finding value in the marketplace, post our injury issues. While all of them do not work out, Danny like Bill Belichick, and I dare say Warren Buffet, looks for out of favor assets and is convinced that with Celtic Mystique - embodied in our coach veterans - will help them reach potential.
This value - this Celtic Pride - is imperative as to why value our veterans beyond the market and should not rush to judgement in planning for the future. If it works, what Danny has done is pull together, low priced, former first-round draft picks who are the turning points of where their career can go: Courtney Lee, Jeff Green, Avery Bradley, Terrence Williams, Brandon Bass, Jordan Crawford, Fab Melo, and DJ White. Surrounded by: the mystique of Celtic History; a coach who I think will be Hall of Fame; two first ballot Hall of Famers; a wily grizzled veteran (Jason Terry). Additionally, a pep talk to and under achieving yet talented Chris Wilcox. Like distressed investments, all of these assets were trapped in "situations" where their value could not be realized; whether that was playing time, duplicate skills, young teams and coaches, bad backs (Jared Sullinger also fits into this category also), etc.
Unless something else breaks in the buy-out or waiver wire, the only concern that I have is should we take on two BIGs, and let Terrence Williams - who has been a revelation - go; I think not. I think if you give Fab Melo more reps, I think he figures out the what he can do - enough of the D-League, he needs KG so that we can make a call or not. Additionally, Jeff Green's, weak-side and on-man, block shots has been a revelation; not to mention that Bass, against most teams can man the five position. People are going to shake their heads when they see the polished skill set of DJ White.
As former first round draft picks if have a sneaky suspicion that folks are going to be shaking their heads as former first round draft picks, Terrence Williams and Jordan "junk yard dog" Crawford, drink the kool-aid. Terrence and DJ White are saying, please just don't send me to China, and I trust Crawford who played college ball with White at Indiana will listen. The interesting tidbit Danny dropped is that he wanted all these guys at the time of their draft class, but with the exception of White there were character issues the needed a taste of humble pie.
This is why I maintain, that I hope Rajon Rondo is paying attention, because, if this motley crew can make a run, he becomes the key chip this offseason. This heir apparent to this mystique was artificially given to Rajon Rondo, but as I have stated in other post, it belongs with Avery Bradley. While we did what we were supposed to against the Phoenix Suns last night, I could not help to think that we were building and continue to build Greg Popovich's San Antonio Spurs teams - where you can sit KG, Pierce, and Terry, and the system still runs.
The point is is that Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce, provide immeasurable value that will, at this time, not be valued in the marketplace. Josh Smith is a stud, but as a front-line player his shot selection is suspect and frankly, I cannot understand what folks planned to do with themselves, in late game situations, when DeAndre Jordan and Smith, throw up foul shot bricks, shooting 42% and 50% respectively; talk about "hack-a-Celtic".
As this Celtic fan continues to pay his respects to the late Laker owner, Dr. Jerry Buss, and seeing all the tradition, we need to see that there are only TWO franchises that carry that cache and it is more valuable. This is why I still think, unless Rajon Rondo, matures under mystique and leadership, he remains Danny's best trade chip to cement the current group as title contenders for the next decade.

PLAINS, GA (WALB) - One of America's former first lady's childhood home is now a historic landmark in Plains.
Rosalynn Smith Carter helped to unveil the historic marker on Saturday.
Dozens of locals and family members turned out for the ceremony at 219 South Bond Street.
Mrs. Carter's niece who now lives in the home says the marker will give those who tour the Former first lady's town, information she's been telling them for years.
"I feel really proud, I'm excited, I think the sign will give a lot of people knowledge about the house that they may not know going through on a bus tour," said LeAnne Feltman, Rosalynn's niece.
The Plains historic Trust and the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site were instrumental in getting the marker erected.
Rosalynn Carter was born in Plains in 1927.

Police search woodland in hunt for missing mother
Police officers are searching woodland at Coombe Abbey Country Park in Coventry, as part of the inquiry into the disappearance of Nicola Payne.
On December 14, 1991, an 18-year-old Nicola went missing on the 10 minute walk from her boyfriend's home to her parents' home in Woodway Close, Woodway Park, just 10 minutes away, taking a shortcut across waste ground. Her son Owen was seven months old at the time.
West Midlands Police, who started searching the area this morning, said the searches were prompted by "new information".

Albany, N.Y. – To some - mom and pop stores are relics of the past.
"We're a specialty" said The Toy Maker manager Kevin Murphy. "A lot of things you'll find in the big stores, you won't find here."
They're full of unique items and the workers at this small stores pride themselves on one thing, "service, service, service," said Evoke Style owner Sandra Dollard. "I mean anybody can get online, but to get that right fit to get that right color" you need to shop small business.
"I think there's always going to be a need for them [small businesses], people like to see the things before they buy them and that's what they can do here," said Murphy.
The Toy Maker in Albany has providing that experience for 18 years.
"This toy store kind of meant something special to me," said John Robert Graham. "Because it had smaller toys that I couldn't get at a big store before."
John Robert Graham can remember coming to The Toy Maker when he was just waist high.
"So, I would run back there and I would look, and be like 'mom, mom, mom, can I have this?' and she would say 'wait until Christmas,'" said Graham.
He was overcome by the small business atmosphere.
"Here [at The Toy Maker] it's more family, they actually get what you want," said Graham.
"A lot of people say they don't like going to the big stores, they like shopping locally, and it's always been that way," said Murphy.
But these locally owned stores depend on the holiday season for profit.
"If we don't have a good December, then it really makes it hard for the next year," said Murphy.
That's why Small business Saturday is critical to keep these stores afloat.
"Last year was one of our biggest days of the month," said Dollard. "Coming out on that day, really shows that people do care about buying local."
Small Business Saturday takes place across the entire state of New York.

Item: Zones of Depth Hoar Development
Title: Zones of Depth Hoar Development
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1982 International Snow Science Workshop, Bozeman, Montana, USA
- E.E. Adams [ Department of Civil Engineering/Engineering Mechanics, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717 ]
- R.L. Brown [ Department of Civil Engineering/Engineering Mechanics, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717 ]
Date: 1982
Abstract: Formation of faceted ice crystals, known as depth hoar, which develop in a snowpack subjected to large temperature gradients are examined. Snow temperature and temperature gradient profiles are generated by use of a heat conduction based on snow density and temperature. The magnitude of the temperature gradient tends to increase as the snow surface is approached, with local minimums through high density snow layers and local maximums/above and below these layers. The development of depth hoar is examined by considering vapor pressure in the pore. A large temperature gradient across the pore will induce a corresponding vapor pressure gradient. By calculating the mean vapor pressure in the pore, the excess vapor density is found to be positive at the top of the pore and negative at the bottom, for the usual direction of gradient encountered in snow. This causes a vapor flux from the bottom to the top of the pore. Depth hoar crystals grow into the pore from the top surface. It is the vapor density difference, or supersaturation, which determines the rate of crystal growth. The vapor density difference is found to be enhanced at warm temperatures, large temperature gradients, in'low density snow, and above and below layers of high density snow. Because of the strong dependence on temperature, depth hoar growth is generally most prevalent at the base of the snowpack, even though larger temperature gradients may exist elsewhere in the snowpack at a lower temperature. Weakness associated with depth hoar contributes significantly to full depth avalanches. As a result of the development of thin layers of depth hoar in conjunction with high density snow layers, depth hoar may also assist in causing avalanches associated with crusts. This is particular true at warmer temperatures and is enhanced when two high density layers are in a close proximity to each other with a low density layer between them.

A bit of old New York.
150 years or so ago, New York City was virtually out of clean fresh water. So they embarked on an infrastructure building program to bring water from an upstate watershed to the city, building giant reservoirs and aqueducts.
I ran through a park in Harlem this morning and saw this person-hole cover. I thought about infrastructure. How people and governments used to invest. And how inalienable rights like access to clean drinking water weren't once under siege by tea partiers who would declaim that such beneficence was contrary to our founder fathers' notions of individual freedom and states' rights.
People used to care. And further, they cared that others didn't care.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Carver-Montgomery High School quarterback Jeremy Johnson was named Mr. Football for the state of Alabama in 2012 on Wednesday at the annual Alabama Sports Writer's Association Player of the Year Banquet.
Johnson, a four-star recruit committed to Auburn University, won the award over Fultondale's ArDarius Stewart by just two total points. Johnson finished with 170 points and nine first-place votes while Stewart collected 168 points and five first-place votes.
Votes came from a panel of high school sports writers from around the state.
Johnson finished his senior season with 3,193 yards passing with 31 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He helped lead his team to a 13-2 final record which included a run to the semi-finals of the Class 6A state playoffs. Along with the Mr. Football Award, Johnson was also named the 6A Back of the Year for 2012.
Stewart, a four-star all-purpose athlete committed to Alabama, didn't walk away empty-handed in Montgomery as he was named the Class 2A Back of the Year for the second consecutive season.
