The City of Huron was digging out after the snow storm that swept through the region over the weekend.
KSFY Reporter Rachel Gabrielsen reported that high speed winds added to the bitter cold Monday morning. Grabrielsen reminds drivers that ice was packed underneath the snow that fell over the weekend. She reported that the ice is now being exposed due to the wind.
Winds picked up early Sunday evening, whipping around snow. Gabrielsen reported that visibility had increased Monday but there was still plenty of snow whipping around.
Snow plows were out through the night in Huron
"I'll go home at midnight. The other crew will start at midnight. They will run until noon. Our crew will comeback at noon and we just have to keep the machines moving. Machines don't have to rest they can rest after we get the snow moved," Ross Jensen with the City of Huron said.

Much of us speculated, that Kansas might receive a few blemishes during their stretch of 5 straight games against ranked opponents, to start conference play. Much less, then Kansas escaping through the path of teams that were in Kansas's way of winning Big 12 for 10th straight year, unscathed.
Giving Kansas's 5th win already in Big 12 play. Posting a 5-0 record puts Kansas, yet again in what it seems like every year a solid spot of winning the Big 12 Title..again. But this start has seemed to be a bit surprising, considering the outcome resulted by most teams. Iowa State, Baylor are both 1-4. Oklahoma State has 2 losses already (both coming to KU and KState). All of which were thought as Kansas biggest hurdles in Conference race, at the start of the season. This has resulted in a big cushion for Kansas to sit atop of the standings with. Maybe its also because KU has beaten these teams early, to get them out of the way. But, for Kansas beating the top teams early gives a little release of concern. Even though they still have to travel to Waco, Austin, Stillwater, and our favorite Manhattan. Is just a few other obstacles facing Kansas' path still. Though, for a young team right now. It seems as if they have responded to the tough climate and feel it as more of a routine to play tough opponents every night.
Now if you want to get into critical terms of the standings. K-State has only 1 loss coming to the hands of Kansas. They are a quiet 4-1 after all. Trailing just 1/2 game back from us. Yet, KSU really at all hasn't been through the meat of their schedule. They beat West Virginia, OU, and OSU all at home. Losing to Kansas and beating a lower-level TCU team for their lone 2 road games. They, themselves unlike Kansas, has to go to Ames on Saturday, Austin Tuesday night, Norman, and Stillwater left. And you might want to throw in the date in Waco too.
So, with that being said. The win over Baylor tonight is another hurdle passed for Kansas. Right now the high record is in our favor. We need ro maintain that. Because we all now, the conference race can change at any moment.

This is an ESPN insider Blog, so I don't know how much will come up. He makes an entry about bullpen innings piling up for some teams early in the season. He lists the top 10 teams in bullpen innings. I was suprised that we were not on the list of teams for the most bullpen innings based on the way the starters have pitched so far this year. Even more suprising was the fact they we are tied for 4th in innings pitched by starting pitchers

Beach Wrestling was codified by FILA at the Athens Congress in 2004 in order to bring together all forms of traditional wrestling styles practiced on sand and to make them more popular worldwide. In that perspective, two variations were considered - with and without belt - in order to ecompass the two major trends that structure traditional wrestling around the world. Beach Wrestling also aims at promoting the values of a fun, secure, accessible, and eco-friendly sport.
Beach Wrestling is practised in swimming suit within a 6-meter sand circle and consists of very simple rules: 1 point to the wrestler who manages to bring his opponent to the ground or to push him out of bounds; 2 points to the wrestler who manages to pin his opponent's shoulders to the ground (fall). The first wrestler who scores 2 points wins the match.
Beach Wrestling competitors are divided according to the following weight categories:
Beach wrestling was introduced to the programme of the first Youth Olympic Games that took place in Singapore in 2010 and FILA intends to bring the discipline to the World Beach Games that will be organised by SportAccord as per 2012.
Licence and insurance: The FILA licence is mandatory for all international Beach Wrestling competitions with more than two participating countries. Every international competition shall be anounced to FILA and added to its official calendar. The FILA insurance will only apply to competitions which appear in its calendar. The FILA licence allows its holder to take part in all wrestling styles ruled by FILA.

JK holds number nine inNews
April 14, 2002, 12:15 PM
JK holds number nine in the "Power of Scotland:"
9 JK ROWLING Author
Credited by anxious parents across the world with single-handedly taking the eyes of their children away from screens and back to the printed page, Rowlings cultural impact is immense. She has shown her power by forcing the giant Coca-Cola corporation into sponsoring a childrens literacy campaign in exchange for a tie-in deal at the launch of the first Harry Potter film. With a personal fortune of around £220m, and percentage deals for all Harry Potter box office takings and merchandise, she is Scotlands richest woman, whose fortune is destined to rise further.

When Myriam Marquez was named the editorial page editor of the Miami Herald this summer, she became the first Hispanic -- and the first woman -- to lead the Herald's editorial department since the paper's inception in 1903.
It's no small responsibility. Through the decades, the Miami Herald has garnered 20 Pulitzer Prizes. Two of those belong to the editorial department -- one for cartooning in 1996 and one for writing in 1983 about the federal detention of illegal Haitian immigrants.
Over the past couple weeks, the editorial department has gone toe-to-toe with the mayor of Miami-Dade County, blasting him for giving generous raises to a dozen staff members during a time of deep financial malaise.
In October, Marquez -- who fled Cuba for the United States with her parents as a toddler during the country's Communist revolution in 1959 -- will be among the 100 people mentioned in HispanicBusiness Magazine's annual list of influential Hispanics.
Her appointment comes at a time when diversity initiatives in American newsrooms are stagnating -- even backsliding -- as newspapers grapple with plunging ad revenues and outmoded business models.
Even before last year's historic economic meltdown, minorities were under-represented in American newsrooms, making up just 13.4 percent of the nation's journalists, despite constituting a full third of the U.S. population. In the last year, while the total number of U.S. journalists fell 11.3 percent, the head count of minority journalists dropped even steeper 11.9 percent, according to the American Society of News Editors.
As for the Herald, which is weathering its own financial storm, the paper has "made great strides in diversity," Marquez told HispanicBusiness.com.
"I am following in the footsteps of a top African-American journalist (Joe Oglesby), and in the newsroom, the No. 2 person behind the editor is a Hispanic woman (Aminda 'Mindy' Marques)," she said.
Marquez, 54, takes the helm at a time when the Herald, like many American newspapers, is fighting for survival. Some experts say the Herald's situation is particularly dire.
This past March, the Herald's management announced it would lay off 19 percent of the staff and reduce the salaries of the remaining employees.
That same month, Time Magazine ranked the Miami Herald No. 3 on a list of the nation's 10 most endangered newspapers. Time predicted the paper will soon go the way of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: available only online.
But Marquez told HispanicBusiness.com there is no validity to Time's prediction. In her estimation, things at the Herald are beginning to turn around.
"Our online hits are among the top in the nation, according to the latest study, and McClatchy stock prices have started to rise," she said in an email to HispanicBusiness.com.
As for the editorial page, Marquez has put it on a more interactive path, posting videos of public officials meeting with the editorial board and video op-eds from readers. The editorial page has even taken up Twitter, allowing readers to tweet questions to the editorial board recently as it interviewed Miami Mayor Manny Diaz about the city's budget woes.
As head of the paper's editorial department, Marquez leads a staff of three writers and a political cartoonist.
A registered Independent who says she has voted for both Republicans and Democrats, Marquez understands the soul of the city.
In addition to having fled Cuba for Florida, Marquez lived through and was inspired by the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
This background has fueled not only her wariness of Communism but also her compassion for the historically disenfranchised -- women, minorities, the poor, and the like.
"I'm sort of the lump sum of all those things put together," she said.
Marquez's upbringing is in line with her description of the Herald's editorial leanings: "socially moderate to liberal, and fiscally more moderate to conservative."
Ann Louise Bardach, a leading expert on relations between Cuba and Miami, has kind words for Marquez, who, in addition to her current leadership duties, pens a column for the paper.
"She's smart, witty and fun to read," said Bardach, whose new book on Fidel Castro received national attention this week. "You know, she speaks for a certain segment of La Comunidad -- the Cuban exile community."
Like many immigrants, Marquez has a remarkable story to tell.
The daughter of a mother who taught school and father who shuttled tourists around Havana in his taxi, her family's charmed life in that country came to an abrupt halt during the Cuban Revolution. Led by Fidel Castro, the uprising put a chokehold on tourism, to the devastation of her father's business, she said.
The family decamped to Florida in 1959, when she was 5.
"We were thinking we'd be back in a year or two when things settled down," she told HispanicBusiness.com. "Fifty years later, here I am. ... It's the story of a million Cubans who left the island."
Marquez said some of her relatives who stayed in Cuba experienced tough times. Her grandfather, for instance, lost his business -- a cafeteria near the Havana airport -- when the government took it over six or seven years after the revolution.
Marquez was inspired to study journalism partly by the industry-changing Watergate stories of the 1970s.
After graduating from Miami Senior High, she attended the University of Maryland, where she earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in political science.
"My first major was medicine, but chemistry killed that," Marquez laughs. "I was always a good writer, so I started looking at journalism."
In 1983 she landed her first reporting job, covering Congress for UPI in Washington D.C. Marquez later worked for the Orlando Sentinel for more than a decade as a reporter, editor, columnist and editorial writer. In 2005, she came to the Miami Herald, where she has served as an assistant city editor, deputy metro editor and columnist.
Through firsthand experience, Marquez has learned how the written word can bring out the best and worst in people.
Once, she wrote a column about two young children living with their grandparents in Orlando. Their mother was in San Juan, Puerto Rico, dying of AIDS. The community rallied, raising enough money to allow the children to visit their mother before she died.
But another time, in response to a column she wrote for the Sentinel about the lack of women in powerful positions, an angry reader mailed Marquez a packet filled with bodily fluids.
"I've gotten a lot of, 'why don't you just go back to Cuba," she said. "Or: 'You were an affirmative action hire.' "
Cuban politics are red hot in Miami in the same way that immigration policies often dominate the discourse in San Diego. As a result, it can be an explosive topic at the Miami Herald. Sometimes, the paper finds itself in the center of the fray.
In 2006, for instance, three Herald reporters were fired after it was discovered they were moonlighting for an anti-Castro propaganda outlet in Cuba funded by the U.S. government.
As for the Herald's editorial position on Cuba, Marquez acknowledges that the paper doesn't go easy on the country.
"The position here reflects more of the diaspora in our area," she said. "We're a little tougher than some newspapers might be on lifting the (trade) embargo."
At the same time, she said, the paper supported President Obama's April decision to loosen travel restrictions, undoing former President Bush's 2004
move allowing Americans to visit relatives on the island just once every three years.
"We thought the Bush administration went too far," she said.
Marquez cites as one of her major influences the writer Anna Quindlen, a former New York Times columnist, best-selling novelist and critic of American materialism.
"She has the capability of seeing through things and being genuinely empathetic," Marquez said. "I think that's a quality we don't show enough of."
Another is her own mother, who divorced Marquez's father not once, but twice. The first divorce occurred when Marquez was 2; the second when she was 12.
"She was able to buy a home as a divorced woman," said Marquez, who is married to Tony Pipitone, an investigative reporter for WKMG-TV in Orlando, with whom she has two young-adult sons. "That was quite an accomplishment in the late '60s and early '70s."
Marquez is well aware that her industry is in turmoil. Still, she believes journalists will have a place in the job market for some time to come.
Asked to impart a little advice to aspiring young journalists, though, and she admits that, in the current environment, clear answers remain elusive.
"I guess the answers are to be curious," she said. "To not devalue yourself. To realize people will always need information, and for democracy to survive, we need an electorate who's informed. There will be jobs for journalists. ... But we have to be learning new skills."

The Hidden Truth About Natural Antibiotics
You'd think that as a host, you couldn't possibly ignore hundreds of trillions of guests. Yet you might be doing just that, or worse, you might be unknowingly harming them.
I'm referring to your gut flora, those microscopic inhabitants that populate your intestines and outnumber your cells by a factor of 10. Even though they're bacteria, don't think of them as intruders. Quite to the contrary. These microorganisms are essential for good health, including your bone health.
Your Friendly Flora Plays a Role in Bone Health
This might surprise you. Vitamin K2 or menaquinones is synthesized by the gut flora.1 If you have the Save Our Bones Program, you already know the importance of Vitamin K – and especially of K2. Its beneficial effect on bone building has been amply supported by numerous studies.
Gut Microflora Perform a Myriad of Functions
They are involved in many aspects of your health, including:
- Digestion and carbohydrate utilization
- Protection from pathogenic bacteria
- Optimal immune system function
- Detoxification
- Allergy prevention
- Reducing inflammation
How to Become a Better Host
In view of their importance to our health, it is obviously desirable to maintain a good flora population. One good way is to eat prebiotics – foods rich in nutrients that feed the friendly bacteria. Artichokes, garlic, legumes, asparagus, bananas and dandelion greens are among the highest in prebiotics. And you can also consider taking some probiotic supplements, especially if in the past you were prescribed…
Antibiotics: Your Flora's #1 Enemy
Antibiotics are very efficient flora exterminators. Plus they are also very toxic and more recently, there's growing concern over the development of antibiotic-resistant strains.
So it makes sense to avoid them, unless they are absolutely necessary. Don't get me wrong, antibiotics can save lives. But they should be used only when there are no alternatives.
Now you're probably wondering if there are natural antibiotics. Fortunately, the answer is a resounding "Yes!". And there are many that work as well as antibiotics.
In his book "How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics", Dr. Scott Mumby reveals everything you need to know about natural antibiotics:

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: 1960s, 1970s, Folk music, Film, Movies, entertainment news, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, simon & garfunkel, mike nichols, the graduate, catch-22, joseph heller, charles grodin, paley center, nyc, New York, Pop, Music, Entertainment News
Art Garfunkel, 71 years old and still reeling decades later from the breakup of the musical act that made him a household name, is now saying that one of the reasons Simon & Garfunkel broke up was because of Mike Nichols' 1970 film adaptation of Joseph Heller's "Catch-22." In the late 1960s, he says, the two were cast in the film, and while Garfunkel managed to hold onto his fourth-billing role, Simon ended up on the cutting room floor, reports the Guardian.
Garfunkel was speaking at the Paley Center for Media in New York last Wednesday, as part of a screening of Charles Grodin's 1969 Simon & Garfunkel documentary "Songs of America." According to the Hollywood Reporter, both the singer and Grodin implicated Nichols. Recall that Nichols featured Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" and "Scarborough Fair" in "The Graduate," his now-iconic 1967 film that won him an Oscar for best director.
"That was the beginning of their split-up," said Grodin. "You don't take Simon & Garfunkel and ask them to be in a movie and then drop one of their roles on them."
Garfunkel agreed, saying, "Chuck [Grodin]'s gone right to the heart of the difficulty in Simon & Garfunkel when he says, 'Artie and Paul were cast for 'Catch-22,' and Paul's part was dropped.' I had Paul sort of waiting: 'All right, I can take this for three months. I'll write the songs, but what's the fourth month? And why is Artie in Rome a fifth month?'" He added, "What's Mike doing to Simon & Garfunkel?'"
"Catch-22″ was, as it happens, Garfunkel's feature film debut — the following year he'd appear in a more prominent role, in another Mike Nichols film, "Carnal Knowledge," starring Jack Nicholson, Candice Bergen and Ann-Margret.
The film — and Garfunkel's role in it (and presumably Simon's omission from it) — is the inspiration for one of the duo's final songs, "The Only Living Boy in New York," written by the snubbed Simon as he waited for Garfunkel to return from shooting. "Yes, Chuck's gone right to the heart of the difficulty in Simon & Garfunkel when he says, 'Artie and Paul were cast for 'Catch-22,' and Paul's part was dropped.' That, of course, is an irritant of the first order. So I had Paul sort of waiting: 'All right, I can take this for three months. I'll write the songs, but what's the fourth month? And why is Artie in Rome a fifth month? What's Mike doing to Simon & Garfunkel?' And so there's Paul in the third month, still with a lot of heart, writing about, 'I'm the only living boy in [New York]. You used to be the other one,'" said Garfunkel. He added that the tensions that arose in the aftermath led to their 1970 breakup, which happened after the release of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" — though the duo have frequently reunited since.
So far, director Mike Nichols has yet to respond to the allegations by the folk singer.

WAUSAU (WKOW) -- Some drivers are upset about a new proposal by Wausau police to ban cell phones while driving.
The city's public health and safety committee voted unanimously Monday night to recommend the cell phone ordinance to the city council.
The proposed law would make it illegal for drivers to be on the phone or use other mobile devices. The fine would be 40 dollars, not including court costs.
Wausau Resident Adam Wilund isn't happy about the proposal and says, "Everybody uses a cell phone, so I don't even see why they'd bother passing it through because the cops wont be able to pull everybody over."
But police see things differently, "It's something very tempting for people to use when they drive and that's obviously very distracting," says Wausau Police Captain Ben Bliven.
Hands free or bluetooth devices would be allowed under the proposed law. The city council is expected to vote next month.

RECIPE # 3972 OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER April 4, 2007
2 dozen large oysters, shucked, with all their liquor and the deeper halves of their shells reserved and scrubbed
1 bottle clam broth
2 sticks butter, cubed
1 cup flour
1 cup onions, minced
½ cup bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons anchovy paste
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
¾ cup parsley, chopped
1 ½ pounds fresh spinach, washed, patted dry, trimmed and finely chopped
½ cup Pernod
Rock salt
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Drain the oysters and liquid through a fine mesh strainer. You should have 3 cups of oyster liquor. If not, add enough clam broth to make up the difference.
In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 4 minutes. Sit in the onions and bacon. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the anchovy paste, garlic, parsley, and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the oyster liquor and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until the sauce is thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the Pernod. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Spread the rock salt evenly over a large sheet pan. Arrange the oyster shells on the baking sheet. Place the oysters back in their shells. Season with salt and pepper. Place a heaping spoonful of the filling on top of each oyster. Using the back of the spoon, lightly pat the filling into the shell. Sprinkle the top of the oyster with the grated cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes or until the sauce is golden brown and the oysters have curled.
Remove from the oven and serve on a large platter with fish forks and fresh lemons.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – A jury will decide whether Ryan O'Neal can keep or be forced to hand over an Andy Warhol portrait of the late Farrah Fawcett to her alma mater, the University of Texas.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis denied a motion by O'Neal's attorneys to dismiss the school's case. Trial is scheduled for Nov. 27.
The judge, who heard arguments Monday and issued her ruling on Wednesday, said there said are triable issues regarding who owns the portrait as well as a napkin drawing featuring a montage of hearts that O'Neal says Warhol inscribed to him and to Fawcett.
O'Neal, 71, was romantically involved with Fawcett, the mother of his son Redmond, off-and-on for several decades. They never wed. The actress was 62 when she died of cancer on June 25, 2009.
The school sued O'Neal in August 201,1 after the Warhol portrait of Fawcett was seen in the actor's home during an episode of the reality TV show "Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals." Lawyers for the university maintain the portrait is school property because Fawcett agreed to donate all her artwork to her alma mater after her death.
Both sides agree Warhol created two portraits. The school has one of them and wants the other, as well.
O'Neal maintains that when Warhol created the paintings, the artist said he wanted Fawcett to have one of the portraits and the "Love Story" actor the other.
O'Neal says he never relinquished his ownership interest in the napkin drawing and that it was removed from Fawcett's home after her death and given to the university. He has countersued to get it back and also wants unspecified damages.
Warhol was a leading figure in pop art who died in 1987 at age 58.

We left on the 1st at 7 pm and flew out at 10pm. Then we arrived at JFK (yep!) with our suitcase, carseat and bag about 5.5 hours later at 6:30am and had to figure out how to get from JFK to Penn Station to take the Amtrak to upstate. It should have been simple, but the shuttle (that was twice as costly as public transport, but promised to be simpler) only took us to Grand Central Station. So we walked around Grand Central Station for a bit. So many people! Poor Aftasie was getting tired of the constant hand holding but there was no way I was going to let her disappear in the crowd. And tired, too, because she'd only slept about 4 hours on the plane.
Anyway, to make this part of the story short, we rode multiple subways and had to walk up and down multiple, long staircases and lots of New Yorkers helped us out! One woman (who had an accent just like my relatives) walked us three blocks to the Amtrak station once we had gotten off the subway.
Then we had a lovely 2.5 hour train ride, during which Aftasie slept in our seats and I slept on the floor. I was soo tired that I didn't care how filthy dirty the rug must have been. Then a cousin picked us up at the station and we had a LOVELY time with relatives in upstate NY. Vincent and Peter my brothers came, too! That was so nice. It was so nice to be supported and have people around who like me, who are also related to me! :)
Then we did pretty much the same thing on the way back but it was a lot easier because a cousin told us about an easy way to get from Penn Station to JFK (only two stops!) and we started our journey at 9am instead of at 7pm, which made a huge difference. We got home at 1am EST, where we had come from, which made our trip about 16 hours. Aftasie slept in the plane and I just sat there until we arrived. Oh yeah, I played some game Peter put on the ipad we borrowed - mushroom wars? It was weird, but it did pass some of the time :) Thanks Pete.
It is SOOOO good to be home. I feel refreshed. I feel like I actually did something! I think I have a hard time during the summer because I don't have as much to do as during the school year. It really helps if I am pushing myself. Otherwise everything becomes "break time" and I get frustrated. While I was bored and not doing much to keep up the house before I left, I have done loads of cleaning and feel all ready to do practically anything!

About Us
The Department of Wildlife and National Parks is tasked with the responsibility of conserving and managing the country's wildlife resources and their habitats. The principal instrument that the department uses to fulfil the above mandate is the Wildlife Conservation Policy of 1986 and the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act of 1992, hereafter referred to as the Act, with its subsidiary regulations.
In its preamble the Act is described as:
"An act to make further and better provision for the conservation and management of the wildlife of Botswana, giving effect to CITES and any other international conventions for the protection of fauna and flora to which Botswana is from time to time, a party, to provide for the establishment, control and management of National Parks and Game Reserves and for matters incidental thereto or connected therewith".
Furthermore, there are complementary policies such as the Tourism Policy of 1990, the National Conservation Strategy of 1990, the Tourism Act of 1992 and the Tribal Grazing Lands Policy (TGLP) of 1975, which are predicated on the wise use of the country's natural resources.
The wildlife estate makes up about 37% of the surface area of the country comprising of National Parks and Game Reserves (17%) and Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) (20%). It is thus evident that wildlife is major land-use in the country. Government has taken a deliberate stance to realize economic benefits from wildlife resources through both consumptive and non-consumptive uses. The abovementioned policies together with the Wildlife Conservation Policy (WCP) of 1986 (currently being reviewed) were formulated with this in mind. The over-riding philosophy of these policies is that utilization of wildlife should not be conducted in a way that is detrimental to the continued existence of the resource base.Vision"Our success will be determined by sustained fish and wildlife populations and their habitats; a significant contribution by the fisheries and wildlife sector to the economy; the beneficial participation of Batswana in sustainable utilization of fish and wildlife resources; the delight of those who experience the natural heritage of the country; staff satisfaction; enthusiastic support government and other stakeholders; and the demonstrated pride of the nation".

Meadow Brook Hall. Photo courtesy Oakland University
Youngsters from third to 12th grade can participate in a variety of writing camps on the campus of Oakland University this summer. The various youth writing camps, hosted by the Meadow Brook Writing Project, are being held in "America's Castle," the Meadow Brook mansion.
According to the Oakland University website, young authors will interact with award-winning, specially-trained experts in the field of writing. Collaborative teaching teams consist of K-12 writing teachers and Oakland University faculty from the Department of Writing and Rhetoric. All are alumni of Meadow Brook Writing Project's Summer Institute, an intensive writer's workshop for master teachers involved in the National Writing Project. All camp teachers are involved in continuing education through the NWP conferences, publications, and teacher-training workshops.
Young authors of all ages will tour the mansion and gardens with professional instructors and docents and workshop with fellow writers in their age group.
Programs are as follows:
Grades 3-5: Developing authors: Different genres of prose and poetry will be explored using mentor texts in historical fiction, fantasy, folklore and biographical origins.
Grades 6-8: Maturing authors. Students will be engaged in poetry and prose in genres such as gothic, fantasy, historical and personal narrative.
Grades 9-12: Advanced writing opportunities will include challenging poetry and prose in genres such as gothic, fantasy, historical and fan fiction, along with narrative reflections.
For all groups, one day of camp will be spent at OU rendering one of their works into an orally narrated digital movie that will be uploaded to YouTube. Presentations of one polished work will be conducted at the close of the last day of that week's camp.
The following camps are currently being offered (other "letters" have either concluded or have reached capacity):
Camp C, Grades 3-5 and grades 6-8; July 8-12; 9 a.m.– 1 p.m.
Camp E, Grades 6-8 and grades 9-12. July 22-26, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Camp F; Grades 3-5; July 29- August 2; 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Camp G, Grades 6-8 and Grades 9-12; August 5-9; 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
The Meadow Brook Writing Project (MBWP) is a partnership between Oakland University and local schools, including Detroit Public Schools, Macomb County schools, Oakland Community College and the Public School Academies of Oakland University. The Meadow Brook Writing Project is also a site of the National Writing Project and is affiliated with the Urban Sites Network.

Simple question....Who would you rather have Mayhew take a chance on, Albert Haynesworth or Shaun Rogers.
I am actually completely torn on the two players because I think both would play their best ball in Detroit, Rogers because he absolutely loves the city of Detroit and playing for the Lions and Haynesworth because I think Jim Schwartz brings the best out of the big man.
Now they both have their downsides too, Rogers can hardly stay healthy anymore and can be kinda lazy at times, as for Haynesworth everyone and their mother has heard about him whining in the media about the coaching and system in Washington, also he can be lazy but I dont know if thats as much him trying to show up the coaching staff or what.
Honestly, I would probably take Haynesworth over Rogers simply because I think the upside is much bigger, and he has already been paid so much I think he will come pretty cheap for this talent level. But if Haynesworth doesnt wanna be possible a backup/spot starter, then I think Rogers would be happy to come home to his favorite Detroit strip clubs, I mean Lions.
What do you think?

I was reading some stuff at TheJetsBlog and in a post by Bent I found this link. Apparently adamjt13 has been predicting, very accurately, the compensation picks for each team for about a decade.
From what he is saying the Steelers will likely receive two 5th round and one 7th round pick though the Nate Washington comp may end up a 6th instead of a 5th round. Three extra draft choices is nothing to sneeze at.
Hopefully I am not covering something someone else have covered here.

The DLCL has moved to a new website: dlcl.stanford.edu.
Vienna, Paris, Shanghai, Berlin
Dear NEHers
We may want to try online postings to preview presentations or to share responses. Let's see if this space works.
At our first session, this afternoon, we'll look at some introductory texts to lay the groundwork for further discussion. Carl Schorske on the spatial reorganization of modern(ist) Vienna and Walter Benjamin on Baudelaire's account of Paris as modern metropolis can provide some hypothetically transferable paradigms to understand Shanghai and Berlin and their urban modernism. I suppose ultimately we may want to posit "urban modernisms," i.e., constellations of distinct particularities, but presumably they have some elements in common. For Schorske the new space is post-liberal and, fundamentally (if not consistently) post-aristocratic: it is the dimensionality of the liberal bourgeois, and it elicits diametrical critiques: communitarian (Sitte) and functionalist (O. Wagner). Is the modern space too rational or not rational enough? And where can these questions be directed to Berlin and Shanghai. In both venues, urban modernism will come under attack. What are the weak spots? What are the weak spots in modernity?

New Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 45% (2008 estimate), being descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultural influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S. state.

Ladies 1a
9th November 2013
After the half term break all were raring to play hockey again and build on the great success achieved at Hammersmith and Westminster.
The Reading 1As welcomed Maz back to defence and the first thing to note is that she managed to last the whole game without getting injured – a seasons first!
Reading found themselves against a well organised and much improved Havant side who defended well, but had little threat going forward.
Reading dominated the possession and on 6 minutes Poppy found Chloe on the right, she fizzed a cross in front of goal but despite great efforts the forwards couldn't get on the end of it.
On 11 minutes Reading won their first short corner thanks to the efforts of Georgie, but left empty handed. Moments later Liana broke down the right hand side and passed to Chloe who crossed with power. Harriette got to the ball and deflected just wide.
Reading's press was paying dividends and when they won the ball high up the pitch, Chloe and Keelie set up a great opportunity for Liana, whose shot went very close.
On 21 mins Charlotte drove into the box and found Keelie, but the goalie matched her effort with a good save.
A minute later Immie picked the ball up mid half and passed to Harriette who played onto feet for a short corner. This time Fran got a clean strike away, which was well saved.
You will notice very little mention of the defence during this match, which was a measure of Reading's superior possession. That the score stayed 0-0 until half time was the only surprise.
Reading started the second half as they left the first, well on top. On 6 mins the 1As won their first short corner of the second half, but again there was no final result.
19th October
It is almost as though this reporter no longer needs to watch the games any more in order to create these match reports, such is the feeling of déjà vu as each match unfolds.
Reading were the better team, but somehow drew a match they had dominated.
Reading started brightly and were ahead inside 4 minutes through a Sarah Jones strike following some good pressure. However, in two mad minutes Teddington equalised and then took the lead.
This seemed to shock the 1As into action and they mounted a series of strong attacks with Livvie, Chloe and Sarah all featuring well.
On 15 minutes, good work form Georgie and Immie created an opportunity for Keelie to drive in the circle, but Teddington managed to clear. Five minutes later Liana and Harriette combined to force a short corner, but Reading were unable to capitalise.
In the 25th minute Sarah managed to cut loose and play Liana in for a great equaliser. Reading continued to pressurise the Teddington team and almost immediately launched an attack down the right flank to force a short corner. This time Chloe made no mistake a Reading took a deserved 3-2 lead into the interval.
The second half began with Reading showing even more intensity and a good interchange between Poppy and Immie created a short corner, but the resulting shot went just wide.
Another attack by Immie produced another short corner, but again there was no reward for this period of sustained superiority.
Gradually Teddington got themselves back into the game as the play began to flow from end to end. Reading were still an attacking force however and Keelie and Georgie both had good attacking runs thwarted.
Teddington then had a 10 minute spell where they forced 4 short corners and after 25 minutes of the second period levelled the scores at 3-3.
With 6 minutes left on the clock, Roxy was forced into a great save form another Teddington short corner.
The game finished 3-3, which left all those in the sky blue of Reading feeling disappointed.
It should be noted that the substitutions seemed to be operating much more smoothly this weekend for some reason and there was a record amount of match fees collected.
R. Reporter
12th October 2013
For the second time in three weeks Reading 1As were left frustrated as they lost a game in which all the high quality hockey was played by the away side. To be honest, Staines approach to the game was as agricultural as their pitch, which had more in common with Brighton beach than the fast paced pitch at Sonning Lane.
Reading started brightly and good build up play by Charlotte, Poppy and Harriette enabled Livvie to dance down the goal line and win a short corner. From this, debutant Elie had a good shot well saved.
On 9 minutes a hopeful (and borderline too high) strike into the box resulted in a goalmouth scramble and eventually a goal for Staines.
Reading still played with good composure and created a number of good openings including a couple of short corners, but couldn't convert.
However on 29 minutes Livvie made a great run down the left flank and crossed powerfully to Harriette to finish at the second attempt. The score stayed at 1-1 at half time.
Jon kept his halftime team talk short – having reminded everyone (again) that he was feeling VERY under the weather.
Reading took the lead early in the second half. Good work from Charlotte and Harriet got the ball to Chloe for a quick dribble and shot into the corner. Reading were 2-1 up and looking comfortable.
They continued to press forward with a lot of their best work being channelled through Sarah and had a short corner shot from Chloe well saved. Another Reading attack broke down and the team failed to recover their position. Staines shifted the ball forward and converted a scrappy opportunity to level the scores.
Staines then created a period of sustained pressure and had a succession of short corners which Reading defended bravely.
Eventually Reading reasserted their grip on the game and Random, Immie and Keelie combined well with Poppy who twisted (a bit) and turned (a lot and mainly in circles) until she found a foot to play the ball onto to win another short corner. However, once again the team left the D empty handed.
Immie, also feeling under the weather (but making much less fuss about it than Jon) then made a great run from midway inside her own half and beat a number of players before driving into the circle. However the final pass to Chloe was intercepted by the defender and another chance was lost.
After 29 minutes, Staines won a short corner and a well worked routine saw them take a 3-2 lead.
Reading pressed forward with real urgency with Charlotte throwing herself around like a nutcase looking for the equaliser……but it wasn't to be.

Dunsinane Mountain is interesting for the climbing potential on the numerous minarets that arise along its west side and for the numerous boulders. We hiked to the main large minaret shown in the photo. While some of the rock looks dubious, the main crag appeared to be very solid for several hundred feet. In addition, the numerous boulders evident along the west slope turned out to be very solid. They may have cleaned up after calving off the crags above and tumbling downhill, or the rock may just be better. The drainage up from the road was even more filled with quite large boulders not visible in the photo. The ones higher on the hill had some very steep faces. We did some pebble pinching on the moderate faces of some of the boulders and found them to be perfectly solid. The potential for very stiff problems seems to be quite large.
Getting There
Follow directions to Chimney Peak. Dunsinane is on the opposite side of the meadow and a tad south. Approach via the drainage shown in the photo.

That's right, I said it. It is utterly mind-blowing to me that there is still a portion of this fan base that would rather spend all of their time forecasting doom and gloom, and bashing the team than give them any credit whatsoever. The Vancouver Canucks are the top team in the NHL, though you wouldn't know it by some of the things you read from the fans. There are complaints about players and ice time after wins. There are complaints about callups sent back to Manitoba after the injured player they were replacing returns to the lineup. There have been a ton of complaints about Micheal Grabner (I'll get to that shortly). There is fear of facing Chicago. Or Minnesota. Or Calgary. Or Los Angeles. Or Anaheim. See where I am going with this?
Now I am not saying we as fans shouldn't be critical of things the team does. Anyone who reads my posts knows I have pet peeves, and have singled out a couple players at times this year. That's part of being a fan. That being said, for a large chunk of the fanbase to constantly harangue about things the way they do is so draining, and embarrassing at times that I just can't take it. You look at all the stats, and the way the Canucks have played this season, and yet the Canucks should be terrified of who they face in the first round? Really?
Let's start with everyone's favorite: The Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks have been playing well of late, and moved about 7 spots in the Western rankings. That has as much to do with how insanely close the West has been this season as anything. The Hawks, for as well as they are playing of late are NOT the same team that dismantled the Canucks the past two seasons. A number of the players that made them so difficult to play against are now gone, and despite the season rookie Corey Crawford has had, I think their goaltending is suspect. Canucks 'fans' are quick to tell you they'd hate to play Chicago in round 1, despite the fact we won the season series against them. Oh, you didn't hear that? That's right. The Hawks were 2-2-0, and we were 2-1-1. Does that mean a lot? Not really. The fact of the matter is, the Canucks have been and are the better team.
Micheal Grabner. Oh how some like to talk about Ol' Grabs. And hey, the kid has been having a fantastic season in the circus-like shit-show known as the New York Islanders. Good for him. But the myth that the Canucks gave up on Grabner is patently false. They had a glut of talent at his position, and used that to acquire Keith Ballard, who through a rocky start and some injuries has proven to be a pretty solid member of the Canucks back end. The Florida Panthers were the team who gave up on him, not us. We had the depth at one position that allowed us to upgrade at another. And if you think that Micheal Grabner would be getting the kind of minutes on the Canucks that he is on Long Island you are crazy. He would be on the 4th line, if not down in Manitoba. That is a fact. I know some of you love to carry a torch for players that used to wear the blue & green. I am not one of them. Once they're gone, they're dead to me. I am a Canucks fan. I don't give a rats ass what Grabner, or Brendan Morrison, or Taylor Pyatt and Ed Jovanovski do. They play for the opposition. End of story.
I could go on and on about these things. Am I trying to say that the Canucks are a lock? Hell no. There are a lot of damn good teams in the West and the logjam in the standings is a testament to that. What I am saying is that I am confident, especially when this team is healthy that they can beat any team in a 7 game series. Some will be more difficult than others. What happened in the past is the past. This is not the team that lost last year, or the year before. This is not the team that seemingly found ways to lose over the last 40 years. This is the best version of the Vancouver Canucks to date. The road to the cup goes through British Columbia this year. Let the shit talkers talk. The Canucks aren't scared of who they play and you shouldn't be, either.
Tonight the Canucks get another crack at the Nashville Predators as they end this homestand in preparation for a 5 game roadswing. The Canucks lost their last meeting against the Preds a couple weeks ago, and will be looking to try and get some consistency back into their game after cruising along at .500 for the last couple weeks. A player to keep an eye on is Mikael Samuelsson. He was demoted to the 4th line in the win over Columbus and is pissed off about it. How pissed? Let's hope it's FU Sweden pissed. We all remember how well he played after the Olympic snub last season, and though he's played well of late, he does have another gear he can run on and we know that.
Hash Browns... mmmmmmm
The Western Conference is something else, isn't it? About the only two constants have been the Canucks and Red Wings. Apart from that the positions shuffle nightly as teams battle not only to solidify positions but to stay about the cut off for the playoffs. Chicago rattled off a huge home win over the Flames last night, as Miikka Kiprusoff followed up two consecutive shutouts by giving up 4 goals on 19 shots and getting pulled in a 6-4 loss. Dirty, dangerous hit that went unpenalized in that game by Brent Seabrook on Mark Giordano... It's a real shame that after a solid game by the New York Islanders last night the only thing that people will remember is Trevor Gillies celebrated his return to the lineup after a 9 game suspension by laying out Cal Clutterbuck with a headshot after the Wild player ran Isles rookie Justin DiBenedetto from behind, receiving a paltry 2 minute penalty for boarding. Had Gillies not been a complete idiot and just tried to fight Clutterbuck, he might finally have gotten what he deserves for being the NHL's unsung 'hero' in late and borderline hits. No, instead Clutterbuck gets portrayed as the victim here. Gillies has an on carpet meeting with Colin Campbell this morning. He really should have the book thrown at him as a repeat offender, especially when it's apparent that his 9 game suspension was no deterrent whatsoever. I would like to see a minimum of 15 games. It's likely he won't get that, given Campbell's often nonsensical decisions... Gotta give the Leafs credit, they aren't giving up without a fight. Full marks to them tying the game in the 3rd and winning it late in OT against Pittsburgh last night. Can they really do it? Maybe. But the road isn't easy and they would need a ton of help along the way... Speaking of which, New jersey continues to astound with their remarkable turnaround. It's gotta be pretty unlikely that John Maclean will ever get another coaching job when you compare his record to that of what the team's done since they fired him around Christmas time. They won't make the playoffs, but it certainly bodes well for next season, one would think... Anaheim kept their playoff hopes alive as Bobby Ryan scored on a penalty shot in overtime to defeat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1...

Proposal could ban smoking around children in public parks
A proposal that could ban smoking in parks where children play moved easily through its first state senate test.
The senate regulated industries committee let the measure through without opposition. The proposal would ban smoking in public parks that have at least one piece of playground equipment for kids.
While no one said they were against the proposal, Senator Nancy Detert did caution complaints would come. She said senators should be prepared to hear from their veterans.
Veterans of foreign wars posts would be exempt from the proposal if passed.
