Iowa Fishing
Iowa is a diverse state, offering varied angling opportunities across the state. The Mississippi and Missouri Rivers make up the east and west borders and farm ponds, natural and man-made lakes, and interior rivers and streams populate the interior. Abundant fish populations provide anglers with the chance for a pleasant excursion.
Iowa Fish Species
Of the three trout species found in Iowa, one is native and two are naturalized. According to past records, brook trout have always inhabited the streams in northeast Iowa. Brown trout are not native to North America; they were introduced from Europe during the late 19th century. Rainbow trout are native to the Pacific Northwest. Both rainbow trout and brown trout have been stocked in Iowa for over a century. Most trout in Iowa streams are reared in trout hatcheries but some brown and brook trout naturally reproduce.
Iowa's greater than 100 trout streams are located in north east Iowa, east of the Cedar River and north of the cities of Cedar Rapids and Maquoketa. In the early 1960`s the Iowa DNR because a trout stream acquisition program that has resulted in public ownership of more than 42 miles of the 266 miles of coldwater streams with trout populations. In some Iowa trout streams, regulations restrict anglers to using rainbow trout lures instead of live bait.
Rainbow trout and brown trout can reach weights of greater than 40 pounds in some areas but it is rare to find one of these fish larger than 10 pounds in Iowa. The record rainbow and brown trout for Iowa were both caught in 1984, the rainbow trout weighed 19 lbs. and 8 oz. and the brown weighed 15 lbs. and 3 oz. Both trout were brood stock that had been stocked from the hatchery and were caught in French Creek in Allamakee County in northeast Iowa.
10 of the 39 North American catfish species inhabit Iowa rivers and lakes. Channel catfish, flathead catfish, blue catfish and bullheads are the most common species of catfish in Iowa.
Catfish can be distinguished from other fish species by their lack of scales, their barbells or "whiskers" around their mouth, and the strong, sharp spines located near the dorsal and pectoral fins.
Catfish barbels store sensory organs which are used to transmit both touch and taste. Other locations on a catfish's body contain more taste buds. Estimates are that an adult bullhead has approximately 100,000 nerve sensory locations. All catfish are adapted to foraging in muddy and dark waters where feeding by senses is essential.
Perch Family
Young yellow perch function as vital forage for larger species such as northern pike, largemouth bass and walleye.
Walleye, perch and sauger are important game fishes and are highly valued by anglers in Iowa. Walleyes rank as the fourth most hunted fish in Iowa. Perch are of more regional importance, particularly in the natural lakes and Mississippi River.
Pike Family
There are three members of the pike family in Iowa: northern pike, muskellunge, and tiger muskies, a hybrid of the male northern pike and female musky. All of these species are important game fish so they are reared in Iowa fish hatcheries for release in lakes and rivers with a suitable environment.
Northern pike is probably the most widely distributed and best known member of the pike family. The original range of the northern in the state was the natural lakes, the upper reaches of the large interior rivers and the Great Border Rivers, particularly in the upper basin pools.
The muskellunge or "musky" was considered a very rare fish in Iowa until l960 when stocking began in West Okoboji Lake and Clear Lake. Purebred musky have been released in five lakes since l960.
The newest addition of the pike family in Iowa is a hybrid fish, the tiger musky, which is a cross between northern pike and muskellunge and was first introduced in l978. Although natural crossing of these two species occurs where both inhabit the same waters, it is only recent that hatchery hybridization has been popular. Like both parents, it grows to a large size and shows hybrid vigor in growth and fighting ability.
Sunfish Family
Various species of sunfish are found in all parts of Iowa. Smallmouth bass are most abundant in streams, largemouth bass prefer quiet waters of lakes and large rivers, crappie are found in both moderate to large-sized lakes and streams, green and orange-spotted sunfishes are found nearly everywhere, and bluegills prefer lakes, ponds and the backwaters of large rivers. All together, the sunfish family provides a considerable segment of the angling for Iowans.
Largemouth bass and smallmouth bass draw the most attention from Iowa fisherman. Crappies, bluegills and other sunfish offer fine fishing for people looking for a filet for dinner.

Drama Short Fat KS4
- Category: Drama
- Written by Notre Dame High
- Hits: 835
Students studying a 'Short Fat' option take a GCSE qualification in 1 academic year in an intensive course with 5 timetabled hours a week.
The end of year target for short fat courses is always the same as their GCSE end of KS4 target grades.
As students should aim to be working at this target level as soon as possible we have not included a progress path graph.
You should expect to see a steady improvement towards the target level throughout the year and students should work with this final goal in mind throughout the course.
Drama is currently delivered over a one year 'Short Fat' course and it is greatly beneficial if students have done either the BTEC Performing Arts course or have considerable outside school experience prior to taking the course.
The GCSE Edexcel course comprises 3 Units.
After an initial introduction to the Programme of Study (giving students an understanding of the drama strategies, elements and medium that are used throughout the course) Units 1 and 2 both combine assessed practical exploratory work alongside accompanying written coursework. However Unit 1 is theme based, whilst Unit 2 is text based.
For Unit 2 students also write an analysis of a live performance.
In Unit 3 students undertake an acting assessed group performance of about 20 minutes (or follow a performance support option), marked by a visiting examiner, usually in May of the examined year.
There is no final written exam in drama.
The half-termly grade is an holistic assessment of their written, practical and performance work as judged against the GCSE criteria. As assessment work is completed towards the final grade this is calculated into the half termly grade. It can be the case, therefore, that grades are considerably below target until Christmas as they get to grips with the course but should fall in line by this stage.

A Monster Callsby Patrick Ness
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The monster showed up after midnight. As they do. But it isn?t the monster Conor's been expecting. He's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming. . . . This monster, though, is something different. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Patrick Ness spins a tale from the final story idea of Siobhan Dowd, whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself. Darkly mischievous and painfully funny, A Monster Calls is an extraordinarily moving novel about coming to terms with loss from two of our finest writers for young adults. Compelling . . . powerful and impressive. - Philip Pullman, author of the award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy Exceptional . . . this is storytelling as it should be - harrowing, lyrical, and transcendent. - Meg Rosoff, author of the Printz Award?winning novel How I Live Now Brilliant and elegant, with all the thrills and ambition you would expect from the author of the Chaos Walking trilogy. - Frank Cottrell Boyce, award-winning author of Millions and Cosmic Haunting, lyrical, powerful, and true. Patrick Ness has crafted a masterful story about grief and loss, love and hope that lingers in the heart like a ghost.? - Libba Bray, author of the Printz Award-winning novel Going Bovine

The Arizona House of Representatives has advanced a measure that would require some high school students to learn about personal finance before graduating.
Under the bill advanced by the House Tuesday, some Arizona students would not be able to graduate from high school without first learning about long-term saving, investment planning and how personal choices influence future income.
The bill would allow school district governing boards or charter schools to make personal finance competency a graduation requirement.
The original version of the bill would have made personal finance instruction a statewide mandate, but that language was tempered in the Senate. After the change was made, the Senate passed the bill in a 24-4 vote in March.

Train Travel
Train Travel
Traveling by train in Italy is simple and efficient. Service between major cities is frequent, and trains usually arrive on schedule. The fastest trains on the Trenitalia Ferrovie dello Stato (FS)—the Italian State Railways—are Freccie Rosse Alta Velocità. Ferrari mogul Montezemolo launched the competing Italo high-speed service in 2012. Bullet trains on both services run between all major cities from Venice, Milan, and Turin down through Florence and Rome to Naples and Salerno. Seat reservations are mandatory, and you'll be assigned a specific seat; to avoid having to squeeze through narrow aisles, board only at your designated coach (the number on your ticket matches the one near the door of each coach). Reservations are also required for Eurostar and the slower Intercity (IC) trains, tickets for the latter are about half the price of the faster trains. If you miss your reserved train, go to the ticket counter within the hour and you may be able to move your reservation to a later one (this depends on the type of reservation, so check rules when booking). Note that you'll still need to reserve seats in advance if you're using a rail pass.
Note that there are often significant discounts when you book well in advance. On the websites, you'll be presented with available promotional fares, such a Trenitalia's "Mini" (up to 60% off), "Famiglia" (a 20% discount for one adult and at least one child), and "A/R" (a round trip in a day). Italo offers "Low Cost" and "Economy." The caveat is that the discounts come with restrictions on changes and cancellations; make sure you understand them before booking.
Reservations are not available on Interregionale trains, which are slower, make more stops, and are less expensive than high-speed and Intercity trains. Regionale and Espresso trains stop most frequently and are the most economical (many serve commuters). There are refreshments on long-distance trains, purchased from a mobile cart or a dining car, but not on the commuter trains.
All but commuter trains have first and second classes. On local trains a first-class fare ensures you a little more space; on long-distance trains you also get wider seats (three across as opposed to four) and a bit more legroom, but the difference is minimal. At peak travel times a first-class fare may be worth the additional cost, as the coaches may be less crowded. In Italian, prima classe is first class; second is seconda classe.
Many cities—Milan, Turin, Genoa, Naples, Florence, Rome, and even Verona included—have more than one train station, so be sure you get off at the right station. When buying tickets be particularly aware that in Rome and Florence some trains don't stop at all of the cities' stations and may not stop at the main, central station. When scheduling train travel online or through a travel agent, request to arrive at the station closest to your destination in Rome and Florence.
Except for Pisa, Milan, and Rome, none of the major cities have trains that go directly to the airports, but airport shuttle buses connect train stations and airports.
You can purchase train tickets and review schedules online, at travel agencies, at train station ticket counters, and at automatic ticketing machines located in all but the smallest stations. If you'd like to board a train and don't have a ticket, seek out the conductor prior to getting on; he or she will tell you whether you may buy a ticket onboard and what the surcharge will be (usually €8). Fines for attempting to ride a train without a ticket are €50 plus the price of the ticket.
For trains without a reservation you must validate your ticket before boarding by punching it at wall- or pillar-mounted yellow or green boxes in train stations or at the track entrances of larger stations. If you forget, find a conductor immediately to avoid a hefty fine.
Train strikes of various kinds are not uncommon, so it's wise to ensure that your train is actually running. During a strike minimum service is guaranteed (especially for distance trains); ask at the station or search online to find out about your particular reservation.
Traveling by night can be a good deal—and somewhat of an adventure—because you'll pass a night without having to have a hotel room. Comfortable trains run on the longer routes (Sicily–Rome, Sicily–Milan, Rome–Turin, Lecce–Milan); request the good-value T3 (three single beds), Intercity Notte, and Carrozza Comfort. The Vagone Letto has private bathrooms and single-, double-, or twin-bed suites. Overnight trains also travel to international destinations like Paris, Vienna, Munich, and other cities.

Train Passes
Rail passes promise savings on train travel. But compare prices with actual fares to determine whether a pass will truly pay off. Generally, the more often you plan to travel long distances on high-speed trains, the more sense a rail pass makes.
Italy is one of 24 countries that accept the Eurail Pass, which provides unlimited first- and second-class travel. If you plan to rack up miles across the Continent, get a Global Eurail Pass (covering all participating nations). The Eurail Select Pass allows for travel in three to five contiguous countries. Other options are the Eurail Youth Pass (for those under 26), the Eurail Flexipass (valid for a certain number of travel days within a set period), and the Eurail Saver (aimed at two to five people traveling together).
The Eurail Italy Pass, available for non-European residents, allows a certain number of travel days within the country over the course of two months. Three to 10 days of travel cost from $295 to $539 (1st class) or $240 to $439 (2nd class). If you're in a group of more than three, consider the Eurail Italy Pass Saver : good for 3 to 10 travel days, the price per person is $251 to $459 (1st class) or $205 to $374 (2nd class); family passes offer further discounts for children under 12; kids under 4 travel free. Eurail Italy Youth (for those under 26) is second-class only and costs from $195 to $357 for one to 10 days of travel.
All passes must be purchased before you leave for Europe. Keep in mind that even with a rail pass you still need to reserve seats on the trains that require them.

The Big East Tournament is one of the best events of the college basketball season. Sure, some programs take it more seriously than others, and some schools need a good showing to feel good on Selection Sunday (we aren't one of those yet, are we?). But for basketball fans, it doesn't get much better. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday should now be known as 'I'm a male and calling in sick to work for 3 days' Day.
Time to go on a basketball binge, even if the unthinkable happens and we go down in Round 1. Speaking of the team that will try to do it, we caught up with Ken DeCelles of Voodoo Five to get some thoughts on how their season has transpired, and what the future holds for USF. Let's see what he had to say:
It's been a while since our game early in the year, has USF gotten better or worse since that matchup?
Its pretty much the same team except Shaun Noriega is more confident in shooting now. We still have turnover issues, Augustus Gilchrist still takes a majority of the shots, we rebound the ball well still, and Jawanza Poland still gets into foul trouble too quickly. We're also still good about hanging around against ranked teams until the Under-8 timeout and then falling apart.
At least we're consistent.
Are you a fan of the bye and double-bye in the Big East Tournament, or should it just be set up that 1 plays 16, 2 plays 15, and so on?
If they're going to have all 16 teams play, I like the double bye format. It rewards teams who took care of business in that 18 team gauntlet. If they played 1 vs 16, could you imagine MSG with 8 games during the day? They'd have to head over to the Prudential Center for a couple of games to get everyone in for one game.
What was the most memorable moment of the season (good or bad)?
Not a lot of good moments this year. Just from a memorable standpoint, it was our 16 point chokejob against Marquette. We couldn't figure out their press to save our lives, and sometimes it was 2 or 3 possessions before we could get past the half court line.
Then down 2 with 3 seconds to go, Toarlyn Fitzpatrick had to miss his 2nd FT intentionally for a chance to grab the offensive rebound (which we did really well that night) and he banked it in.
USF's season in a nutshell.
What's your favorite moment in Big East Tournament history?
For USF fans, there aren't many memories good or bad with the BET. Just from a USF perspective, it was our win over DePaul last year where we scored all our points from inside 10 feet.
Just all together, it has to be the 6 OT game between Syracuse and UConn. I drank a pot of coffee that next morning and it was worth it. Just a fantastic game.
What does USF have to do in the coming years to be more competitive in the toughest conference in the country?
We don't have a history of the other 15 schools, so we have to build the facilities to entice players to come. The 50,000 sq ft. Muma Basketball Center is under construction right now and should be ready for fall practice. The Sun Dome will be undergoing a complete renovation starting at the end of the month. If you throw in the weather, and the Florida girls it sounds like a winning combination.
Hopefully these are the pieces that a kid from New York, Philly, or Chicago wants to see when choosing a school. His parents will be able to see a couple of games a year when USF travels north, and he won't have to break out the parka when he goes outside 5 months out of the year.
Thanks again to Ken for the time. Make sure to head over to Voodoo Five to check out my answers to his questions as well!

Norm Chow, who has never been a head coach in his 30-plus years in the college game, might be ready to make the leap...and leave Utah in the process.
First it was Whittingham and now it's Sitake & Norm Chow. Will Utah lose a coach this offseason?
Is this Kyle Whittingham's best coaching job yet?
Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian played quarterback at BYU - Coach Whittingham's alma mater - under current offensive coordinator Norm Chow, coached along side Chow & Davis and the connections...
Utah might've lost to SC Saturday, but they answered a lot of questions and set the template for what could be a successful first season. How would you grade the game?
The first report card of the 2011 season is out. How'd the Utes do?
Utah begins a new era of Pac-12 play Saturday as they travel to take on the once dominant USC Trojans. Who'll win the inaugural Pac-12 battle?
UCLA will pay $500,000 for Norm Chow to coach the Utes. Coupled with his salary at Utah, he'll be the highest-paid assistant in the country.
Will Utah need to step up its boldness now that they're in the Pac-12?
An interesting read on the process of Chow coming to Utah, some of his thoughts on Jordan Wynn (compares him to Ty Detmer) and a thought from John Cullen about changes on the offensive line.

The City of Selma will honor Auburn University graduate student Nathaniel "Doug" Bacon who risked his life to rescue a stranger who jumped off the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Tuesday, January 8, 2013.
Mr. Bacon was driving through Selma on his way home to Auburn when he spotted a woman about to jump off the bridge. Without hesitating, he immediately drove to the other side of the bridge, stripped down to his underwear, and swam out to rescue the woman. When he reached the Selmont side of the river bank, first responders were waiting to administer lifesaving treatment.
Even though he was out of energy when he reached the shore and at one point thought that he was going to go under, Mr. Bacon said that he was "fortunate' to be in the right place at the right time. "I am honored and it makes me feel good," he said, "the most important thing is that Ms. Woods is going to be okay." He also gave credit to the first responders who he said "were there very quickly and are always willing to help at any hour, on any day."
Mr. Bacon graduated from Auburn University in May 2012 with a Bachelors degree in Interior Architecture. He is currently pursuing a Master of Integrated Design and Construction degree at the Auburn School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture and The McWhorter School of Building Science. He quoted a line from the Auburn Creed that he said summarized what he did: "I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all."
A 2002 graduate of Goshen High School in New York, Mr. Bacon is also a U.S. Army veteran who served in Germany and Iraq.
The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, at 1:00 PM in the Council Chamber, City Hall, 222 Broad Street. The public is invited to attend.

1) I'm not sure if this is the right place to "post", but I'm wondering how you can use the lib-freenect library to stream from two Kinects at once. I tried running glview.exe with a parameter (glview.exe 1 or 2 ...) but it's saying the device cannot be opened.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks, Paul
2) I think it would be very helpful to us code noobs to have videos showing step by step process of how to get Kinect working on our computers.

"She needed to explain her position before the event came up. that would have saved a lot of hassle." She told them in November - which seems to me to be before. This was no doubt when she learned of the "requirement". Imagine you
are allergic to coffee. At what time should you tell your employer this? At the interview? When others are drinking coffee? No...because it has no bearing on your job and you can't imagine it ever being a condition of employment. One day, howerver, your boss states, next Monday, we are going to have a meeting and everyone WILL drink coffee at the meeting. Then what would you do? You would respectfully (probably in private) inform your boss that you don't drink coffee due to allergies. Do you think you should be fired? Do you think you should have told them sooner in the off-chance that this became a condition of your employment. It would have saved "a lot of hassle", afterall.

We reach for a cool, fizzy soda for a quick pick-me-up, but some doctors are warning those drinks may be bringing you down.
A new study is underway that could link depression to an ingredient in many diet drinks.
Playing and staying active is one way Emily Wilkinson keeps her two young boys healthy. She also keeps tabs on what they eat and drink.
"Aspartame is absolutely horrible," Wilkinson said. "As long as I can prevent it, they will not have it."
She is concerned about what aspartame, an artificial sweetener, could do to their young bodies.
"They actually find that it creates nerve damage in the brain which is directly related to depression as well as ADHD, ADD," Wilkinson said.
Now, researchers are looking into whether the thing many of us consume every day in diet sodas, drink mixes, and chewing gum is bringing us down.
"That's one of the focuses on some of the newer studies that are being done right now," Dr. David Schultz a family physician said.
Schultz is keeping a close eye on those independent studies, looking into whether aspartame reduces serotonin, the neurotransmitter in the brain that controls mood. Reducing serotonin reduces happiness.
"In clinical practice, there have been many observations made that aspartame may cause problems with mood swings, emotional ability, and also can cause some problems with anxiety," Schultz said.
Schultz recommends parents remove aspartame from their kids' diets.
"And almost immediately they noticed marked improvement in their child's behavior," Schultz said.
Schultz also says aspartame could have the same effect on adults. Adults are more likely to consume higher amounts of aspartame than children. Especially those who grab a diet soda or use a drink mix to flavor their water, all in an effort to cut down on calories.
"I would always recommend to somebody who wants to steer clear of aspartame not to justify that with a regular sugar beverage because they're going to get excess calories from that," Corey Filbert, a nutritionist said.
Filbert says the good news is new, low-calorie artificial sweeteners already are on the market. One is taken from a fruit, the other is Stevia.
"So where you see a lot of aspartame in beverages and diet drinks right now, I think in the future we'll see more Stevia as an option," Filbert said.
Aspartame has been approved by the FDA for more than thirty years. A claim cannot be made that aspartame causes depression because those studies are just now taking place.

Alphabetical List of Critters - Common Stalk Borer
The Common Stalk Borer (Papaipema nebris) [family: Noctuidae], is a type of moth (in the adult stage) which is native to North America. In its larval stage it is called a 'borer' because of the way it chews holes into the stalks of plants and bores into–and tunnels through–them. It is particularly fond of large whorled-leaf plants such as corn (it is known to attack 176 different plant species). Plants damaged by them are usually stunted or misshapen, or both. The damage can be severe enough to kill the plant, especially if the borer has tunneled into the stalk of the plant at the soil-level.
Its range is from southern Canada, throughout the eastern U.S. (east of the Rockies), and south to the Gulf of Mexico; but, it is absent from Florida. [Find detailed fact sheets below]

Last weekend, the Giants swept the Dodgers in what must have been excruciating fashion, as all three were one-run games and two were walk-off jobs. But it's the manager's job to stay upbeat, and especially when managing a (supposedly) contending team in May.
Still, you might be excused for wondering if Don Mattingly's Panglossian comments after Sunday's game when just a bit too far. Via Bill Shaikin in the L.A. Times:
"I really would like to sit here like I was all disappointed," Manager Don Mattingly said. "I'm not at all disappointed with the way we played."
That prompted one reporter to point out the Dodgers were two for 12 with runners in scoring position.
"Did you watch the game? Seriously? We were fine," Mattingly said. "I'll take those at-bats all day, every day. ... I can't be disappointed with the result. At some point, you ask guys to win battles, to win your at-bats. You can't control where it goes.
"We got runs late. We kept coming. I really can't sit here and be disappointed with anything but the loss."
Mattingly was not done.
"I feel better about our club walking out of here than I did walking in," he said.
Walking out after a sweep?
"I didn't think we were playing good [coming in]," he said. "I thought we played tough the whole series."
The Dodgers were not routed, not by any means. They lost by one run in all three games, by walk-off home runs Friday and Saturday.
They also had a hitters-only meeting Saturday, after which they produced season highs in runs and hits.
Well, that's really swell. You know, because all it takes to improve your hitting is a hitters-only meeting.
No, but I kid the hitters-only meetings because I love them. And I'm sure Mattingly's right. After all, the Dodgers did play decently enough against the Giants over the weekend. Well, not decently enough to actually win any of those games. But decently enough to have won something, against a team not quite as good or as lucky as the Giants were.
Hold on! Wait a second, something's coming over the wire from our friends in Bristol ...
Well, you know ... Trevor Cahill's a pretty good pitcher. I'm sure the Dodgers hitters will get right back on track Tuesday night, once that hitters-only meeting has had time to really sink in. Or not. These things are awfully hard to predict, but at least Mattingly's not going to keep running Luis Cruz and Justin Sellers out there ...
Look, what's ailed the Dodgers is pretty obvious: the left side of their infield has been abominable with the bats, two-thirds of their outfield hasn't hit much, and two-fifths of their pitching rotation's been ravaged by injuries.
The Dodgers will play better if they can ever get healthy and stay that way for a while. There aren't any guarantees there, of course. They might get Zack Greinke back one day and lose Clayton Kershaw the next. But there are good reasons to believe that Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier will come around, and that Hanley Ramirez will help once he's off the Disabled List. That still leaves the club with Juan Uribe or Luis Cruz at third base, but hey nobody's perfect.
For all their failures and their fundamental flaws, the Dodgers entered Tuesday just 5½ games out of first place, even after losing five straight games. It's way too early to panic, or fire your manager because he suggested that he felt better after getting swept than before. And you know, things could be a lot worse for the Dodgers.
They could be the Angels.

"Uninterrupted presence of crews in orbit might not be necessary. We are used to talking about development as if along a spiral. We do not rule out that we could return to the DOS [Durable Orbital Station] ideology, which we had before permanently inhabited orbital stations. Possibly we would have to revert to visited stations," Davydov said.
Roscosmos working groups are analyzing the future of manned space exploration, including the possibility of reverting to visited stations, he said. "This issue is open now. And the working groups we have are working on this issue among other things," Davydov said.

Reviews of Forest Dale Apartments
Average Rating: based on 1 Review
I am a friend or relative of a resident
This place is notable mostly for its very low rates. There is a good and supportive community of older people, as well. The staff range from the moderately helpful to the moderately competent, with none being particularly outstanding but none being rude or horrible at their jobs. The maintenance man is usually willing to do odd jobs such as helping people move, for a fairly reasonable rate. They do allow payment by cash, check, or plastic, which is convenient for older people. One worry I had was that no nursing or housecleaning staff was available. Even a bulletin board with a list of reputable providers would have been helpful. Also, the building sprawls out, which can cause problems for older people with mobility problems, especially when it comes to the 10 minutes it takes even the young grandson to walk to the laundry room. There is, however, a charming tradition of an ongoing junk sale in the lobby, from which all of the residents frequently purchase furniture and dishes. I would recommend this place for people with generally good physical health who can take care of themselves fairly effectively. As long as you can handle your own affairs, it's not a bad place to live, even if the rooms are a bit small.

An eatery in downtown Bloomington is using cookies and sandwiches to draw a crowd.
Eric Shangraw goes for lunch at Kelly's Bakery and Café in this week's You Gotta Eat.
A dreary December day actually increases ones desire to venture inside Kelly's Bakery and Café. It's warm and cozy here. Kelly is Kelly Mathy, a fourth grade teacher by day and cookie baking fiend at night. Before opening her business two years ago... Kelly was known to bake and decorate 252 dozen cookies at her home between Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's more than three–thousand cookies... she was giving away!
I open in the morning. And then I go to school and teach. And then I come back her and do all that crazy baking.
Kelly Mathy was my daughter's fourth grade teacher. She is very kind. Her husband is very funny and her food is delicious.
The bakery is a fusion of art, sandwiches and cookies. Work from local artists is on display and for sale. Photographer Larry Foulk had the Black Russian sandwich; Angus roast beef, turkey, and provolone cheese with homemade Russian dressing and pumpernickel rye bread. Larry agreed with the description on the menu... it was grilled to perfection. I had the Turkey and Caramelized Onion. This best–selling sandwich has fresh sliced turkey on Italian bread with homemade red pepper and pine nut pesto. If there is an exquisite sandwich, this is it. Our bill with drinks, pickle and a side of homemade creamy–coleslaw; $17.49. We spent another two bucks on a blue–stocking cookie and a Christmas tree with sprinkles cookie. We left Kelly's feeling like an overstuffed Santa ready for a long winters nap.
Kelly's Bakery is on North Center Street in Downtown Bloomington. They are open six days a week... closed Sundays.

LE BOURGET, France--Aircraft leasing company Air Lease Corp. (AL) Thursday said it has agreed to purchase five ATR 72-600s from ATR, the turboprop plane maker owned by Airbus and Finmeccanica SpA (FNC.MI) of Italy.
Air Lease has purchased ATRs every year since its first order for 10 aircraft and this order will bring ALC's ATR fleet to 21 aircraft, the companies said in a statement.

The DreamDVR - a cross platform wireless DVR solution for everyone.
Watch everything everywhere. Stick to the ecosystem you love. No extra box under the TV. No need for another subscription. Use your existing remote. Much more flexibility. Sounds good? read on.
In the future all content including live tv will be delivered over the internet and everything will be available on demand. All audio and video signals in our homes will be transferred wirelessly. But we're not quite there yet and it won't happen within the next two or three years.
In the meantime we have to accept that not all programming will be available on demand and online. A lot of great content has to be accessed through antenna, cable or satellite. So what's the solution? - I'm glad you asked. I've been thinking about this for a while and I dreamed up a product that realistically could make watching live and recorded tv a much more enjoyable experience:
The hardware
A wireless DVR that's not connected directly to your TV but instead connects to your standard antenna cable and your router and streams wirelessly to an app on your TV or other devices (Think of it as a more capable EyeTV Netstream). I call my dreamed up product the DreamDVR. Now imagine this small networked DVR recording all your favourite shows, documentaries and a few movies directly to your NAS or USB HDD, not crippled by encryption like your regular DVR and not limited by the capacity of an internal drive.
The recordings would be recorded in (converted on the fly to) high quality .mp4 H.264 with the first audio track being stereo aac and the second being AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS passthrough. This effective and open format plays fluently on almost every device I've come across including the format stupid PS3, smart TVs, Google TV and Apple TV. Which means that you can download recordings to your iPad or play it on devices that might not get a DreamDVR app anytime soon. The recordings would of course also be shared via the DLNA protocol. With a wireless DVR your future smart tv only needs a power cord - no extra cables or boxes or harddrives.
The software
Everybody loves apps. Netflix, Hulu, Vudu - you name it. They are available on almost every device and let you pick up where you left off. However, Netflix does not have the latest content, Hulu doesn't have that many different networks, and it is simply too expensive to buy every new episode of your favourite TV shows on Vudu (or iTunes). A DreamDVR app for SmartTVs, Roku, Apple TV, Xbox, tablets and smartphones would make this product extremely interesting to a lot of consumers. They wouldn't have to wait for someone like Apple to "fix TV" and not have to leave their beloved ecosystem.
Having a DreamDVR app on your tablet and pc would be particularly useful because editing recordings with a standard remote on your regular DVR is not a great experience. The DreamDVR app would only be a client and the actual editing would of course happen inside the DreamDVR. Automatic commercial skipping would also be great, but I see a lot of political issues here.
A tablet or smartphone is ideal for browsing the tv guide and selecting which programs to record. The TV guide would fetch metadata and cover art for most TV shows and movies (much like the Google TV unified interface) to give you that "on demand feel". You just tap the cover art of a tv show and the DreamDVR will show information about the program and ask if you want to record it and how long to keep old episodes. When a recording is done the metadata and cover art is embedded into the recorded file. This makes it easier to manage your recordings and makes browsing your recordings on a device without the DreamDVR app much nicer. Being able to set the DVR while away from home is of course a must have feature.
Add to this that you would not have to switch input on your TV to switch between Netflix and Live TV. This would give live tv a more integrated feel and solve the battle for input 1.
As far as I can see, this device could also be forward compatible without having to add more expensive hardware:
Let's say you get a 100/100 Mbit fiber connection. The DreamDVR is already connected to your router and online, so there's nothing in the hardware preventing you from recording straight to the cloud, although editing recordings may cause a little lag. IPTV also wouldn't make your DreamDVR obsolete as IPTV doesn't mean that everything is now on demand and availability everywhere.
I think Elgato currently is in the best position to make this product as the company already makes TV streaming products and apps, but anyone could actually make it. This product doesn't require anyone to do the impossible and convince the cable companies or networks to use a new business model. The biggest challenge in making this thing truly awesome is getting a DreamDVR App on the Apple TV and the Xbox/PS3. Google TV already has an app store and Roku and Smart TV manufacturers rarely says no to new apps. Making the software and hardware just requires some funds and some hard working smart people. I guess there would have to be two versions of the DreamDVR - one for cable and antenna (a hybrid) and one for satellite. I imagine it would look something like the EyeTV Netstream with 2-4 tuners. It would only need 4 inputs: power, antenna, USB and ethernet. No extra remote needed - exclusively controlled via apps or IP.
I hope you like my idea for a DreamDVR. If I made a few typos then bear with me, but feel free to point them out so I can correct them. English is not my native language.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this theoretical product. I'm hoping this post will spark a discussion about the best way to watch live and recorded everywhere and not be about iOS vs. Android or how to modify your PC to do everything. The idea behind this product is that you could stay in whatever ecosystem you prefer.
I tried to anticipate a few good questions that some of you might have:
What's wrong with a regular DVR?
Everything. It's too expensive, too big, too ugly, puts your recordings in an encrypted jail, takes up a separate input just for live tv. A lot of DVRs won't even let you watch your recordings on other devices and some only lets you watch on very few or only inside your home. Having PVR functionality built into the TV doesn't solve the problem.
Why is Boxee TV not the solution?
First of all you need a $ 15 subscription just to be able to record tv. Secondly, uploading HDTV in high quality requires very high upload speeds. Thirdly, you need to buy a boxee tv for every room. Fourthly, it only works in the US and only with terrestrial tv. Finally, we love our Apple TV, Xbox and Roku devices.
What's wrong with EyeTV on a Mac mini?
Short version: The computer - too expensive hardware and too much hassle. The software is also missing some of the cool features and the ease of use of the DreamDVR.
Long version: I have been using EyeTV on my macs for 5 years now and I must admit can't live without the flexibility it gives me: I can create smart guides that automatically records stuff that meets certain criteria; I can stream all channels and recordings to my iPhone and iPad; I can watch my recordings in brilliant HD quality on my iPad and Apple TV 3 with beautiful cover art, metadata, and Dolby Digital surround.
However, i'm getting so tired of all the hassle. EyeTV will not let me record directly to mp4, so every time finish editing out the commercials I have to convert the original file using HandBrake, which takes hours, and I can't just use the built in coverter in EyeTV because it won't let me keep the original surround audio track and because it is too unforgiving if there's a small flaw in the original recording. Also, the Apple TV compression setting in EyeTV is not quite good enough for my taste. I prefer not being able to distinguish between the compressed file and the original. After my HandBrake script is done I have to use iDentify2 to add metadata to my recordings before adding them to iTunes. Then there's all the other stuff such a software glitches, higher power consumption, some fan noise, and all the other stuff that makes a PC more complicated and less sexy to use. It's just too much hassle.
What about the EyeTV Netstream?
The Netstream is not a networked DVR it's just a networked tuner. It still needs a computer to be able to record regularly and thus have the same problems mentioned above. Sure you can record on your iPad, but storage will definitely be an issue. What you need is not just a networked tuner, but a networked DVR - with better apps.

Neighborhood Watch
Essentially, all 128-households at Regency Park are members of our Neighborhood Watch Program. Our Block Captains will serve as point persons for our community. This represents an attempt to solidify our safety and security steps which had commenced over the years. It is the plan that neighbors would use the Block Captains as a resource to help inform, disseminate, and distribute information, especially that which impacts our quality of life at Regency Park. This mission boils down to being more efficient and effective in helping keep each other more informed, safe and secure. Whether we are using our eyes and ears to report suspicious activity or advising a nearby neighbor that we will be away from home for an extended period to a certain vendor or contractor will be working at one's home, there are many instances may want to make other neighbors aware. No one is trying to get in your business; however we are trying to protect our neighborhood and each other, which is the higher good. Further details (meeting) will be forthcoming. Plus, if any of the above designated Block Captains have issues with being so, please let me know. There is no pressure to go out of your comfort zone as our goals are unity, safety and security. Goals all 128- Regency Park neighbors should relate to.
Be Safe, Julius

I know many fans are hurt from the - I AM A CELTIC - mantra that we heard from Doc; and we are all tired to a certain extent of the rationale, that well, everything is a business; this might very well be the chink in the armor that mutually dawned on both Danny and Doc. Danny loyalty was to the organization and upper management and Doc's was to the players as the ultimate players coach.
In light or all the recent fires in the NBA, particularly to coaches with 50+ wins and deep playoff runs, there is schism between the coaches and GMs and it is quite possible those roles will be more formally consolidated in the future.
It has been reported that - with the Clippers - Doc is going to have formal input with player selection: since the Clippers already has a player operations executive, the contract hold-up could have to do with Doc making sure that this language is clearly spelled out; just speculation on my part, but it makes sense.
This is just speculation, but Doc change of heart quite possibly could be a realization that to really implement a vision of with a specific culture, you have to have direct input in selecting the groceries. This is not unreasonable as Pat Riley came to the same conclusion when he left the New York Knicks; Bill Parcells, to that conclusion when he left the Patriots; Jerry Jones has maintained the role of GM even though he is owner; and Bill Belechick and Greg Popovich essentially has the role with the now with the Patriots and Spurs.
Doc possible relooked at his statement about Pop and Jerry Sloan and see the decision Jerry made when the Deron Williams ordeal blew up and although their GM Kevin Connor ultimately traded Deron for a ton of assets, Kevin, ultimately has lost his job and now all of sudden, Jerry Sloan is back consulting with the Jazz in a management capacity (along with Karl Malone, formally with the young big men). This, in my opinion, is the intrinsic value that Danny is being somewhat shortsighted about with the abrupt dangling of Ray Allen, KG, PP, and now Doc. Danny's approach may well be right, but in my opinion, Doc would have led the transition differently - being loyal to his veterans and forcing the new young guys to earn their keep by adapting to the culture.
Danny and Doc might not disagree at all, but it goes to roles and responsibilities, and this could have been one of the discussions when GM Ryan McDonough moved to his new role with the Suns. It could have been that both Danny and Doc thought that at $7.0MM during a transition should have included a larger role, one that Danny could not see giving Doc in Boston, but mutually agree that it could happen in LA.
If this is what eventually comes out, I think the fans who feel betrayal should temper their feelings a bit, because it makes a lot of sense where the NBA possibly needs to head; particularly for coaches that are elite. Doc and Danny possibly saw good coaches and GM being recycled at whim of the new superstar formations: what happen to Mike Brown and Danny Ferry in Cleveland with the Lebron "Decision" - only for the owner to rehire Mike Brown again; Stan Van Gundy and GM Otis Smith in Orlando with the "Dwightmare"; Mike Dantoni and Donnie Walsh with the "Melo" drama; George Karl with the post-Melo drama; Avery Johnson and PJ Carlesimo; Ryan Hollins - only to them hire one of his assistants; and finally with Vinny Del Negro with the Clippers.
I think Doc was all for rebuilding and is all for Ubuntu, in fact, he will preach the exact same thing to our dismay over in Clipperland, but I think, he now believes he has to have a direct hand in selecting the groceries so that he more effectively transitions a team and still maintains his identity (i.e. culture) as the ultimate players coach.
Some might think that the fault of a players coach is that he falls in love with his players to a fault and misses the opportunity to get value for them in the marketplace; and while Doc may have done this with his original Big Three - his dependence on veterans, I think Doc felt that the intrinsic value (to borrow an investment strategy from Warren Buffet) is greater than the market price Danny might think he has or can get.
I tend to agree with Doc's valuation methodology in this situation; it is apparent that Doc has made the case that KG, PP, and even Ray Allen were his guys and they were his bridge to the future and while we all know his professed love for KG and the IT FACTOR, I heard him state in an interview that he told Ray and Paul the importance of retiring Celtics. In my opinion, none of the actions that I have seen to date, make Doc depart from that. As Ronald Regan once stated, he did not move from the Democratic Party, the Party moved away from his core and principle ideals.
The Kendrick Perkins trade, the Ray Allen departure, along with the ceaseless dangling of KG and Pierce, might have been more than Doc could stomach; along with seeing so many in the coaching fraternity lose their jobs, many for absurd reasoning. The fact that the it was Doc and the Big Three that formally went out to recruit Rasheed Wallace speaks volumes to a continuity approach; the fact that Shaq when he missed a practice only felt accountable to Doc and the Big Three, in his apology, speaks volumes, the fact that it is obvious that KG, PP, and Doc were not as in favor to trade Ray Allen, per comments by OJ Mayo speaks volumes. People forget that Doc became more active in free agency with the acquisition of Jason Terry and Courtney Lee, while asking for their Unbutu sacrifices in playing time and touches. For Unbutu to work Doc, wedded himself to the Big Three, and it is my feeling once Danny started to tinker with that, Doc started to have a change of heart. People are asking why did Doc sign up for five years then and thus a transition away from the Big Three (their view, not Docs) without acknowledging the NO TRADE Clauses given to both KG and Ray Allen that would have locked them essentially in for Doc most of Doc's remaining tenure. Even though the league has put the brakes on KG joining Doc in Clipperland, I would not be surprised to see PP end up there and for Ray Allen to opt out of contract in Miami and join Doc out there, for one more run.
I think Doc in his mind is trying to bridge the gap between between, "Ubuntu" and "in the end it is a business" forcs him to take on a new role. This is not to say Doc can never cut or trade a player, for he has shown with his playing time process and DNPs, what he really feels about you in earning the the trust in the inner-circle of Ubuntu. Indeed part of that decision might include that Rajon Rondo may or may not have entered into Doc's Ubuntu's circle; but perhaps this rationale might ease his mind as to Doc's decision or why Jeff Green stated that he understands because in the end it did come down to "the business side".
I think the fact that Doc could be negotiating that clause in his Clipper contract sheds light on some changes in his thinking after a period of nine years of working with his best friend Danny Ainge. The cold reality that if you want to bring a culture, like Ubuntu, you have have to have "contractual" ownership of selecting the groceries - because it is also a business. From some of the reporting from Jackie MacMullan, Danny might see this too, and as it has been suggested he might leave his lofty spot and come down and coach the Celtics - at least during this transition. Pat Riley made this decision when he parted ways from one of his mentees Stan Van Gundy, and eventually hired another one of his mentees Eric Spoelstra. Perhaps Danny and Doc are to good of friends for this type of mentor and mentee relationship and actually need their own Kingdoms.
If indeed it comes out that Doc has rights and direct influence to shop for the groceries, this Celtic fan would have his - much sorted after - rationale for why such a breakup could occur.
