Sierrans tackle environmental projects and policies across the state
Following is a roundup of activities and issues of the nine Sierra Club Groups in Maryland: Anne Arundel County, Catoctin, Eastern Shore, Greater Baltimore, Howard County, Montgomery County, Prince Georges County, Southern Maryland, and Western Maryland. There is a link to each Groups website on the Maryland Chapters home page at www.maryland.sierraclub.org. If you have information to contribute to future Roundups for Chesapeake, please contact Mary Corddry at 410-248-0423 or at firstname.lastname@example.com .
The local Groups of the Sierra Club are active with the Sierra Clubs Cool Cities initiative, encouraging local governments and citizens to take action for addressing global warming. They are involved with local land use issues to encourage agricultural preservation, retain and expand the forest canopy, protect waterways and the Chesapeake Bay, and promote Smart Growth. Now that the 2007 State legislative session is in full swing, the Groups are involved with promoting the Sierra Clubs legislative agenda and other environmental priorities of the local jurisdictions.
Anne Arundel Group
Chair: David Prosten, email@example.com
- The Group is seeking entries for a juried photography exhibit at Arundel Center in April. Call Deede Miller for information at 410-268-2845.
- Nine of the 14 candidates endorsed by the Group for the General Assembly and County Council won in the November elections. All four candidates won who were endorsed for the County Council.

Catoctin Group (Carroll, Frederick, and Washington Counties)
Chair: Chris Hodge, 240-388-6446,email@example.com
- The Group has a second Tuesday Social and Informal Meeting at Isabellas Restaurant and Tapas Bar in Frederick. Members are invited to come for drinks and/or dinner, as a way to meet fellow outdoor lovers and environmentalists. In March, the event will be on the 13th at 6:30. For information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Al Gores movie, An Inconvenient Truth, was shown at the Carroll Arts Center in January, followed by a discussion moderated by the Group. The film was also shown at St. Pauls Church of Christ in Westminster on February 11th, the day before the Catoctin Group and citizens presented to the Westminster City Council.
- The Catoctin Group Energy Film Fest 07 has monthly screenings in Frederick and Mount Airy of movies about the impact of global warming and how to implement sustainable and clean energy solutions. The movies begin at 6:30 p.m., following by a discussion. The events are free to the public. On March 15, the Group will show at the Mount Airy library the film Rising Waters, showing the physical and cultural impact of global warming on Pacific Islanders. On March 21 at the Frederick library, the film offering will be Earth to America! - a hilarious special celebrating life on Earth by taking aim at the serious problem of global warming. The film series began in January with a showing of Rising Waters in Frederick and a showing at Mount Airy library of Kilowatt Ours, Were All Smith Islanders, and The Vineyard Energy Project. In February, Out of Balance: Exxon Mobils Impact on Global Warming and Who Killed the Electric Car? were shown. Contact Kim Stenley at firstname.lastname@example.com or 410-756-6402 about the Frederick library film series, and Neal Spungen at email@example.com or 240-235-6802 about the Mount Airy library film series.
Eastern Shore (Cecil County and Eastern Shore counties)
Chair: Howard Bedlin, 410-643-3283, email@example.com
Due to the large geographic area covered by the Group, the meetings are by conference call. The Group needs participation by representatives from all areas. The Group is looking for a Membership Chair, Outings Chair, and Outings leaders.
Greater Baltimore (Baltimore City and County, Harford County)
Chair: Ron Henry, 410-838-9119, firstname.lastname@example.com
- After its extensive involvement last year with Harford Countys comprehensive rezoning process in collaboration with Friends of Harford, the Group is gearing up for involvement with Baltimore Countys comprehensive zoning map process this year in collaboration with the North County Institute and other citizens organizations. The Group will also be involved with planning activities related to the Base Realignment and Closure process that will have extensive impacts on the region, particularly in Harford County and the surrounding area.
- The Group is involved with the public opposition to a proposal for a liquid natural gas off-loading terminal and storage tanks at Sparrows Point in Baltimore County, a pipeline crossing Baltimore and Harford Counties into Pennsylvania, and dredging to accommodate the tankers.
- The Group has been quite involved with the Sierra Clubs Cool Cities campaign. Representatives met with Baltimore County staff to discuss the importance for the County to sign the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement to fight global warming. Since Baltimore City has signed the agreement, the Group wrote a letter to the new Mayor Dixon recommending steps for implementing the vision of the agreement.
- The Group publishes a quarterly newsletter, The Sierra Baltimore Sierran, which is mailed to members and also is available on its web site.
- Check the Groups web site for a schedule of outings and other events. Besides numerous hikes of varied lengths and difficulty levels, many of which are suitable for children and are dog-friendly, the Group has a TGIF happy hour on March 9, hayride on March 31, stream cleanup for Earth Day on April 22, and invasive plant removal and bike ride on May 19.
Howard County
Chair: Ken Clark, 301-725-3306, firstname.lastname@example.com
By Ken ClarkIn January, five members of the Groups Executive Committee had a very positive meeting with the newly elected County Executive Ken Ulman, whom the Group endorsed in the election last fall. He was already off to a green start, purchasing a hybrid vehicle for his own use.
- On Saturday, April 14, 9:00 noon, take part in the Project Clean Stream regional stream cleanup organized by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust. Contact Sue Muller for details at 301-498-8462 or email@example.com.
- The Group sponsors lectures and films, with accompanying discussion. In February, there was a lecture at Centennial High School in Ellicott City. Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, talked about how todays children suffer from Nature Deficit Disorder, with healthy development hampered by limited exposure to nature.
- In February, there was a TGIF Happy Hour at Nottinghams in Columbia.
- The Group publishes a newsletter, which is mailed to members.
- The Howard County Group has a very active outings program, leading 92 outings in 2006, totaling 1,017 participants. Hike leader Mike Juskelis led a remarkable 39 outings last year, including 14 backpacking trips! Check the Groups web site for a schedule of outings and other events. You can ask to get on an email listing of outings and events by contacting Ken Clark.
Montgomery County
Chair: David Hauck, 301-270-5826, email@example.com
By Anne AmblerDavid Hauck of Takoma Park, longtime Sierra Club member, is our new chair. The group awarded outgoing chair Anne Ambler a plaque and a tree in appreciation for her years of service. David sees this as an exciting time as many more people realize that the business as usual approaches to housing, transportation, and energy will no longer work. David brings environmental experience gained as VP of Green Seal, and volunteer-building experience gained as volunteer coordinator and trainer at two Takoma Park Schools. With several new faces on our County Council and a new County Executive, David plans to seize the opportunity to build our volunteer base and enable the Sierra Club to lead the way to a more sustainable future.
-The Group continues to hold environmental monthly Saturday evening programs in members homes. The events begin with socializing during a potluck lunch or supper, followed by a speaker or film with discussion. For information, contact Anne Ambler on 301-946-5599.
- Organization meetings for the Countys Cool Cities Campaign were held in January and February at Brookside Gardens. The towns of Chevy Chase, Kensington, Gaithersburg, and Rockville have signed onto the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement to reduce emissions to 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. Montgomery County signed onto an earlier agreement, and is now reexamining the emissions inventory it produced for that agreement. Sierra Club members are planning campaigns for each signing entity.
- Also in January, the Group held a program highlighting environmental bills that will come before the General Assembly in its 2007 session. In addition to the clean cars, land preservation, and energy efficiency issues pushed by The Citizens Campaign for the Environment, attendees heard about the global warming implications of the InterCounty Connector highway and a repeat proposal to permit public control of streetlights so that the county and municipalities can replace inefficient lighting.
- The Group testified at several public hearings before the County Council: on a proposed time out for development applications, on proposed changes to the countys road code, and on what the countys transportation priorities should be.
- The Group cosponsored an all-day symposium with the MNCPPC on the environmental value of trees. The program continued the Brookside Gardens series Green Matters, now in its third year.
- On March 21, 7-9:30 p.m., the Group will sponsor its 4th Annual Environmental Career Evening at Brookside Gardens Visitors Center Auditorium, 1800 Glenallan Ave., Wheaton. This year, participants will be able to talk one-on-one with representatives of environmental, educational, and government institutions to learn about career and volunteer activities, but may also choose to see a selection of environmental films in another room. This program appeals to home-schoolers, teachers, college students, and adults looking for a career change.
Prince Georges County
Chair: Chip Reilly, 301-218-3920, email@example.com
Groups office: 301-277-0600 or 301-277-7111
By Chip ReillyPrince Georges Group members actively supported environmentally friendly candidates in the 2006 elections, including newly elected County Councilman Eric Olson of District 3.
- The Group supports rail on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and transit-oriented redevelopment, as opposed to new or expanded roads that induce sprawl and traffic such as the undesirable InterCounty Connector in the north and the CrossCounty Connector in the south. We spoke out at hearings before the County Councils Transportation, Housing and Environment Committee. We are on record against the proposed Melford development in Bowie at Rte. 50 & 301, which proposes a high density mega-development close to the Patuxent River.
- The Group contributes to Sprawled Out Accokeeks string of lawsuits against the County Council to stop the misuse of text amendments, essentially spot zoning bills that allow developers to bypass master plans and public participation. Support is needed to sustain this watchdog activity. For more information, visit www.geocities.com/ sprawled_out_accokeek/
- Members, such as Janis Oppelt in College Park and Mary McKinley-Ward in Mt. Rainier, have promoted Cool Cities efforts to help their towns reduce global warming gas emissions. There are invasive plant warriors working all over the county (and waiting for your help), such as Maureen Fine working in Beltwoods in Bowie and Tom Crone in Greenbelt National Park. With the Peace & Justice Coalition and CCAN, the group co-sponsored a well-attended Greenbelt Town Meeting on Clean Energy and the Maryland Clean Car Bill on January 9th.
- There are many ways to get involved to protect the environment and the quality of life in our county. The Prince Georges Group needs you to help with writing articles, producing newsletters, and doing legislative and issues work. To join us for a SierraClub101 gathering, check http://www.sierraclub.org/dc/sprawl/ or call firstname.lastname@example.com 202-237-0754.

About the "Greater SF Bay Area", while Mendocino County is part of Comcast's "Greater SF Bay Area", and in Comcast's North Bay Network (Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa, Marin Counties) physically we are not part of the Bay Area, I'm 120 miles northwest of SF in Redwood Valley. The Greater Bay Area physically ends in Sonoma County, on our southern border. We were formerly Adelphia, and I imagine our being next door to Sonoma County, a Comcast market is why Comcast got us, the rest of the Adelphia areas in California (Including Lassen County and Burney in far eastern Shasta County here in NorCal) went to Time Warner, Burney and Lassen County actually got sold again when TW shed a bunch of rural areas, and both are now part of Windjammer.»www.windjammercable.com/find-your-location--»www.amtrak.com»www.freightrailworks.org»www.isu.edu»www.nwprr.net»www.amtrakcalifornia.com»www.cahighspeedrail.gov
My area is kind of similar also.Monmouth County, NJ is part of the "Freedom" region, which is centered around Philadelphia, but we are actually in the NYC DMA and do not have any Philly stations on our channel lineup.
Our area doesn't have any TV stations, in fact, there are no stations between Santa Rosa and Eureka. All of our locals come out of Santa Rosa and on into the Bay Area, we have Directv for TV, but it's the same for Comcast and Dish. For OTA there is a repeater located on Cow Mountain (4000 Feet) that serves Ukiah and Redwood Valley, we're too far away and too mountainous to get the Bay Area signals, so the repeater is necessary.»www.tiaukiah.org/--»www.amtrak.com»www.freightrailworks.org»www.isu.edu»www.nwprr.net»www.amtrakcalifornia.com»www.cahighspeedrail.gov
What market does this apply to?
I currently have FIOS 25/25 and TV, but am looking for cheaper internet. Is that 'Basic" (5/2) tier available in eastern MA, in towns with FIOS deployment yet? And is $29.95 the standalone price, or only with a bundle?

We've all stopped in the local big-box retailer and stared at the wall of flat-panel TVs. Maybe the last time you came home from there, you were determined to start a home theater project. Why stop at home theater, though? Why not look for other ways to enhance your lifestyle? Major electronics retailers are great starting points, but if it's an entire home control system you crave, you should look elsewhere.
The Shopping Center
As we said, chances are your big-screen dreams began at a big-box store, so let's start there. When it comes to TVs, the retailers can display a wide range of technologies and sizes right in front of you. Some stores even carve out separate rooms to mimic a living room setup. Go to these stores armed with questions, and see how the salespeople respond. How's their knowledge of high definition? How about LCD vs. plasma? Are they straightforward about how comprehensive the installation will be? Do they gloss over the importance of audio and cabling in a system?
Don't hesitate to eavesdrop on a conversation or two. For some of the sales staff, working in a major retail environment is an after-school job. For others, it's the first step to a career in the custom electronics industry, and they take pride in educating themselves about the products they are trying to sell. You might want to avoid these stores on jam-packed Sundays, though.
The Specialty Retailer
Though a big-box store may be huge, its range of electronics solutions is limited. For example, home audio is a dwindling entity on retail shelves, and the words "home automation" are not ready to be stocked and packaged. Enter the specialty audio/video retailer. This is where your world of fully connected electronics systems will expand.
Specialty stores are trending toward showrooms that aim to recreate your living spaces. You might find stores in which a salesman will take you on a room-to-room tour that starts with a living room, goes to the kitchen, on to a bedroom, to a bar area, and ends with a bang—the dedicated home theater. On each stop, you will be introduced to solutions that you may not have known were possible. Expect to discover: multiroom audio and video (don't forget to bring your iPod), customized A/V furniture like TV lifts, lighting and shade control, and whole-home automation for other aspects, such as climate and security.
In these stores, brand recognition becomes less familiar as they step up to higher-performance manufacturers of televisions, projectors and screens, loudspeakers and audio components, and specialized home control companies. You may have seen a large plasma and home-theater-in-a-box at the shopping mall, but in a specialty retailer, you'll likely experience home theater on a whole new scale. Here you should also receive greater care and attention from the sales staff.
The Professional Installer
You might not know where your local professional electronics systems installer, or integrator, is. Chances are the firm isn't prominently displayed in the Yellow Pages. Though more installers are making their way online, many still rely on word of mouth to procure clients. Many also partner with local homebuilders to gain new business.
These are generally certified professionals who have extensive education in electronics systems, cover a breadth of whole-house solutions, can tackle highly specialized projects, and know how to roll out the red carpet for their customers. Professional installers spend time interviewing you to ensure every desire is considered, and they often enlist teams of technical experts to program a sophisticated system.
While you might go to a pro to design your dream home theater, there's a strong possibility you will be tying it into an entire home system, such as connecting your PC's digital media files and incorporating sleek touchpanels to command everything at the press of a button.
Installation firms may or may not have fancy showrooms, but they will surely demonstrate everything that will be going into your home. A showroom might include several levels of home theater, from low to eye-popping price ranges, as well as electronically outfitted rooms to mimic your own.
There's also a very good chance you will be taken to actual homes for real-world demonstrations. Installers frequently showcase past projects with the homeowners' permission, and many install theaters, lighting control, listening rooms and automation in their own homes.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky should co-sponsor H.R. 1565 to expand Brady background checks on gun sales.
While the Brady Law requires criminal background checks of gun sales at gun stores, these checks are not required at gun shows, online sales and other venues where unlicensed sellers operate.
Right now in most states, felons, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill can can walk into a gun show, flea market or even log on to the Internet and buy weapons from unlicensed sellers, no questions asked.
Congress should require a simple criminal background check. The Brady Law has stopped more than 2 million felons and domestic abusers from getting guns at gun stores. Now it's time to finish the job.
I strongly support the Second Amendment. However, this right also requires basic responsibility, and as a society we are responsible for keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people like criminals, terrorists and the dangerously mentally ill.

A New Ministry Partnership
- Monday, June 25, 2001
As workshop and conference speakers, we have been blessed by the responses that we have received all across the country, in Canada, and even overseas, from parents who are finding ways to educate their children that they have not thought about before. This has nothing to do with brilliance. It is more a matter of trial and error. When youve home schooled for over two decades, it is easy to see that there are many opportunities to try and try again. When it worked, we kept notes (at least in our heads). Over time we had a lot of ideas.
Our book, The Guidance Manual for the Christian Home School: A Parents Guide for Preparing Homeschool Students for College or Career, contains 19 chapters and many appendices to assist in getting our children prepared for life, whether through college, career, ministry directions, military, or a trade. We have provided this book because we saw a lack of easy-to-read ideas and practical solutions to go along with the vast curriculum resources that home-schooling parents can access at state curriculum fairs, conventions and other sources.
And now we are very honored and thrilled to report that we have gained the endorsement and promotion of our book through two Web sites at Focus On The Family. This well-respected family-advocate organization has been a wonderful source for thousands, indeed millions, of families, not only in America but throughout the world. Now we will be providing columns there regularly. We are also blessed to have the endorsement of this premiere family advocate organization of our book, and by default, of Dr. James Dobsons ministry.
You might like to know that David recently had the privilege to visit the facilities at Focus On The Familys headquarters. It is an amazing ministry center. Nearly 2,000 people work tirelessly to promote ways to minister to families by presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ and restoring stability to homes all across our land and around the world. One of the incredible facts that he learned during the brief visit is that the radio ministries of Focus On The Family impact over 600 million people on a weekly basis throughout the world! You read that right. Thats 600 followed by six digits or one-tenth of the worlds people! It is indeed a privilege to be endorsed by a ministry of this magnitude. We are indeed honored.
We are being asked to provide information to two Focus On The Family Web sites that we want to encourage you to make part of your regular review. These are the Parents Place (www.family.org/pplace) and Husbands and Wives (www.family.org/married) Web sites. Not only to read our columns, but for the vast amount of other information available, we encourage you to peruse this wonderful Web site (www.family.org) and glean its pages for information to help you build up your family.

Women's Hats
Women's hats have truly evolved, as several hundred years before the twentieth century, ladies hats were only associated with the elite classes. During these times, womens hats were not worn for function, but rather worn to show off their prized possessions, having been adorned with jewels, feathers, precious metals, and exotic fabrics. For average to lower income women, the only hats available were cloth bonnets.
At the turn of the twentieth century, hats for women became affordable for all. What proved to be most popular in the early 1900s continue to be all the rage today. Our large collection includes vintage favorites like Kentucky Derby hats for women, Cloche hats, Big Brim hats, Swingers, and the Off The Face.
Each of our skilled milliners is dedicated to providing the hottest women's fashion accessories of the season, exceptional quality and original design. Take a look through the collections by Helen Kaminski, John Callanan, and Betmar to name a few.

While we women understand it's important to always look your best, you'll find a variety of hats for sun protection, comfort and durability in this collection of women's hats, too.

Here's the completed weld. You can tell from the color of the metal that a lot of heat has been put into it. But it is necessary to make sure both pieces of tubing and the slug are properly fused. All weld beads should extend just beyond the diameter of the tubing. Any weld that sinks below the tubing isn't good enough.

Beginning on Friday, USC is back on the road for another three-game Pac-12 series, this time facing the Stanford Cardinal.
The Trojans opened conference play last week at No. 9 Oregon and after winning the first game of the series, they then dropped the next two.
After the weekend series, the Trojans hosted Stony Brook on Tuesday, but lost, 4-3, which pushed their losing streak to three games.
For the Cardinal, it's the start of Pac-12 play and they are back on the diamond after a 12-day break for finals. They took two of three against Kansas when they last played and are just 4-3 at home.
With an overall record of 7-8, the Cardinal have been inconsistent thus far, managing to win two consecutive games at multiple points, only to follow it with two or three-game losing streaks.
Alex Dunlap leads the Cardinal with a .367 average and he is followed by Alex Blandino, who is hitting . 365 and is tied for the the team lead with 12 RBIs.
Kevin Swick continues to lead the Trojans, who are 1-4 on the road, in batting average (.375) and slugging (.450). Dante Flores and Timmy Robinson lead the Trojans with 12 RBIs.
Schedule and probables
Friday, March 21, 7:00 p.m. PT

M. Hopple & Co. has announced the winners of its fifth annual City Art Holiday Card contest. This year's contest engaging local artists was in memory of Pops conductor Erich Kunzel, and the theme this year emphasized Cincinnati's arts. Out of 25 entries, many featured Music Hall.
The contest benefits ArtWorks, a nonprofit arts group dedicated to employing artists and teens to create art which impacts our community.
The three winners are: Carol Abbott of Northeast Cincinnati, for her watercolor "Holiday Opening Night"; Grey Hall of Hyde Park, for her watercolor with pen and ink, "Holiday Music in Cincinnati"; and Giny Crawford, formerly of Wyoming, for her watercolor "Fountain Square 2."
Honorable Mentions went to Lisa Dodds Reeder of Oakwood, for "Play Me Cincy, I'm Yours" (a play on the popular piano art installation sponsored by Cincinnati Public Radio this summer); Tippy McIntosh of Clifton, for her image of the new Erich Kunzel Center for Arts & Education at SCPA; and Kate Cassidy of Colerain Twp, for her holiday acrylic of Cincinnati Union Terminal.
Judges were Michael Chertock, chair of the piano department at CCM; Kathy Wade, co-founder and CEO of Learning Through Art; and yours truly.
The six original works of art will be included in the Holiday Card Collection, on sale at M. Hopple, 7737 Kenwood Rd. 10 cards are $18.75; or they can be purchased individually for $2. Free imprinting until Oct. 31. 513-791-6426.

I'd like to offer my opinion- the computers and the networks are so complex
that there is no room for a Lone Ranger. We're all "stuck on stupid" in
SOME aspect of the cyber world, so we are used to reaching out and sharing
our knowledge.

Hi Group:
So, what is it about computer people??? You ALL are great!!!
I ask a question and I get a world of information from you with additional
notes of "write me privately if you have more questions, etc."
There is something about computer people --- when I started taking basic
Security and A+ Courses at the local Community College, everyone was willing
to help me with questions, etc. You see, I thought I was a "brain" when it
came time to computers. I knew Word and Excel ..... little did I know just
how stupid I was when I first started at the College. I guess you could say
I was "Stuck on Stupid." But the computer students and instructors helped
me by giving me web sites, old books, etc.
Now, I am on a message board, where you help me as well. Sure beats the
heck out of working with a bunch of complaining women who try to "one-up"
you every chance they can --- whatever you have done, they have done it
one-step better.
Thanks to everyone!!

Three of George Walton Academy's Majorette Squads traveled to Disney World earlier this year to compete in the international competition, Twirlmania. In addition to the many teams from all over the US, there were teams present from Japan, China, Russia, Great Britain and Canada. The youngest majorettes, the Mini Dawgs, won first place in their Halftime Show Division. The Dawgettes -- the third-, fourth- and fifth-grade majorettes -- won third place in their Dance Twirl Division, and GWA's Junior Varsity Majorettes won fourth place in their Halftime Show Division. Wallis Lucas competed individually for the first time and placed seventh in modeling, eighth in 2-baton and 11th in solo. Candy Byrd is instructor and choreographer for all of the squads. They also competed at the Miss Majorette of Georgia Competition earlier this year. Pictured, from left, are (bottom row) Instructor Candy Byrd, Mini Dawgs Madison Bell, Sarah Shriver, Taylor Jesel, Payton Stone, (top row) Charlie Jesel; Taylor Grossman, Catherine Atkinson and Nicole Volk.

Discovering an abandoned baby in the backseat of a taxi was not on hotelier Zack Harrison's agenda. Luckily, a stunning stranger comes to his aid--and piques his interest. But before Child Services can arrive, a snowstorm strands the trio in Zack's luxurious Colorado cabin.
Trinity Matthews wants to resist Zack's advances, but his care and concern for her and the baby soon have her melting. As the snow falls and the heat sizzles, it's not long before Trinity's sleeping in his bed. And she finds herself wondering if their temporary arrangement could have permanent effects.
From the book
Cool. Unruffled.
Nothing rattled Zack Harrison's cage.
He viewed Denver's unseasonal snowfall this afternoon as a picturesque bonus more than an inconvenience. Today's setback with regard to his latest acquisition strike was another challenge, not a reason to rant. Achieving a goal should involve effort, Zack decided as he shrugged into his overcoat, thanked the concierge and collected his briefcase. He'd simply need to get more... inventive was the word.
However, his patience was sorely tested when it came to the press. Last month's beat-up was nothing short of laughable. Apparently he was a fiend who left underprivileged families homeless in order to expand his evil empire. And what about that recent piece questioning his treatment of an ambitious actress he'd been seeing? Without exception he treated women with respect but, from the get-go, he and Ally had agreed upon "fun and casual," not "if I don't see a diamond ring, I'll expose your darkest secret." As if blackmail would work. Unlike his father and siblings, this Harrison didn't give a rat's behind what people thought.
But on this late-spring afternoon, as he strode from the hotel's entrance, yanked open the waiting cab's back passenger door and zipped inside the toasty cabin, Zack's calm fled and he jumped back in his seat. He took a moment to adjust and study his unexpected company before leaning forward to tap the driver's shoulder.
"Your last fare forgot something."
The cabbie angled around. "A wallet?"
"No," Zack said. "A baby."
The other back door swung open. A cool rush whooshed inside along with a woman wearing a hooded cherry-red coat. She set a matching overnighter on her lap and promptly slapped the door shut against the howling drifts. Blowing warmth into her cupped hands, her attention shifted. Beneath the red hood, curious eyes the color of new violets slid from the infant car seat carrier up to Zack and back again.
He considered her face, those eyes, and his chest grew unusually warm. He hadn't met this woman before and yet something in her glittering gaze had him wondering if he knew her. Perhaps he'd simply like to.
"I was in such a hurry, I didn't see you get in," she said, wrapping her manicured hands around the lip of her case. "Actually I couldn't see much at all. Crazy, isn't it? All this snow, I mean."
A slow smile hooked one side of his mouth as Zack's gaze drank her in. "Yeah," he said. "Crazy."
"It seems like the concierge called a cab ages ago. I walked to the curb to see if I could hail one down. I thought it might never come."
Zack's smile faded. He'd stolen her ride? When he'd checked out a few minutes ago, the front desk had organized a cab. Exiting the hotel's foyer, he'd merely assumed.
He leaned forward again, spoke to the driver. He'd pick off this easier problem then take care of that other more complicated baby matter next.
"Are you answering a call?"
"Just back from dropping a fare at the airport." The man behind the wheel pushed a maroon beret back on his brow before flicking on the meter. "Thought I'd swing in here and try my luck. No one's going out in this weather 'less they have to."
"The airport." Red Riding Hood tipped forward, too. "That's where I'm headed. I need to get back to New York for an interview first thing tomorrow. I'm a features writer for Story Magazine.'" Her bright look said, You've heard of it, right?
Acting suitably informed and impressed despite his...

Recommendation 1: Regulatory agencies should enhance efforts to incorporate toxicogenomic data into risk assessment.
The following actions are needed to move toward this objective:
Substantially enhance agency capability to integrate toxicogenomic approaches into risk assessment practice, focusing on exposure assessment, hazard screening, identification and understanding of variation in human susceptibility, mechanistic insight, assessment of dose-response relationships, cross-species extrapolation, and assessment of mixtures.
Invest in research and expertise within the infrastructure of regulatory agencies as well as active collaboration across agencies.
Develop and expand research programs dedicated to integrating toxicogenomics into challenging risk assessment problems, including the development of public and private sector partnerships.
Fully integrating toxicogenomic technologies into predictive toxicology will require a coordinated effort analogous in concept to the Human Genome Project. Such an effort would, of necessity, be multidisciplinary and multi-institutional and would require broad standardization of technologies and sharing of information. To achieve its goals, such an effort would require funding and resources significantly greater than what are currently allocated to existing research programs and would require partnerships between the public and private sectors.
A national, publicly available database is an essential element of this effort. This is because toxicogenomic technologies generate enormous amounts of data—on a scale even larger than sequencing efforts like the Human Genome Project. Current public databases are inadequate both to manage the types and volumes of data expected to be generated by large-scale applications of toxicogenomic technologies and to facilitate mining and interpretation of the data, which are just as important as their generation and storage. Finally, the ethical, legal, and social implications of collecting, sharing, and using toxicogenomic information are likely to be substantial.
The project as envisioned would require a large-scale, coordinated effort, involving partnerships of government agencies, academic institutions, and commercial organizations. One essential element is to leverage, where possible, large publicly funded studies so they can be used to generate toxicogenomic data. Another essential element is to take steps to facilitate the production and sharing of data between the public and private sectors. Because many of the most extensive applications of toxicogenomic technologies have occurred in the private sector, public-private partnerships will be a vital component of such a large coordinated effort.

Straighten up, fly right: Falcons leave little room for error after Slam's opening day
By LARRY MORITZ Salina Journal | Friday, July 04, 2014 2:00 AM
Less than 24 hours into the 24th annual Kansas Grand Slam Tournament, the Salina Pestinger Falcons already have their backs against the wall.
Less than 24 hours into the 24th annual Kansas Grand Slam Tournament, the Salina Pestinger Falcons already have their backs against the wall.
Going 1-1 during the tournament's opening day leaves the tourney hosts with little margin for error as pool play continues today and Saturday.
The Falcons opened with a Thursday morning 4-1 victory over the Kansas Mudcats but let an early five-run lead get away in a 10-9 loss to Millard North, Neb., in a Thursday night contest at Dean Evans Stadium.
The Falcons are now in a position where a loss in either of their next two games could keep them from advancing beyond pool play and into the bracketed portion of the tournament starting Sunday.
"We've got a lot of arms left, and our offense is rolling so we are still in a decent position," Salina head coach Tyler Henoch said. "We've just got to take care of things and play the way we can play."
Salina will face Garden City in a 4:45 p.m. game today at James Matson Field, then complete play in Pool A with a 7 p.m. contest Saturday against Ottawa. Only the top two teams in each pool advance to the tourney semifinals.
"We've got to really focus in now and take it one inning at a time, one pitch at a time," Henoch said. "We have to take care of business against Garden City and then turn our focus to Ottawa."
Millard North finished the opening day with a 2-0 record, also winning its game with the Kansas Mudcats by a 4-1 final. The only team from outside Kansas in the 19-under division, Millard North is the tournament's three-time defending champion.
Thursday's game with Salina was a rematch of last year's tourney title game, won by Millard North 6-5 in extra innings. This time the Mustangs ended the game on a close play at the plate with the Falcons attempting to score the tying run.
"Those type of games are a lot of fun," said North second baseman Dillon Nelson, who had two hits and two RBI in the win. "Especially playing against the home team in a nice park. That's a good team, and we're excited when we get to play these guys."
The Falcons trailed 10-7 to start the top of the seventh, but got a two-out infield single from Kyler Stover to score one run, then had Bailey Ramsey score on a wild pitch to cut the deficit to one.
With the potential tying and lead runs in scoring position, a pitch from reliever John Schomers got away from catcher Cole Johnson. But Johnson recovered quickly enough to get the ball to Schomers covering the plate, who put the tag on Salina's Justin McCartney trying to score.
"We made it interesting," Henoch said. "But if we do a little better job with our situational hitting early in the game and limit the walks, it doesn't come down to that last play."
Salina sent 10 men to the plate and scored six runs (five unearned) in the second to lead 6-1. That included a solo home run from Jacob Pengra, a sacrifice fly from Grant England, an RBI single for Stover and a two-run single from Connor Boyer.
"We capitalized on their errors, but they turned around and capitalized on our mistakes," Henoch said. "Tip your hat to them because we had them down and they kept battling."
"We were down 6-1, but we knew we still had six (innings) to go," Nelson said. "Nick Engle did a nice job battling and keeping us in the game."
Five of the first eight Millard North runners to score reached base with a walk, but it was Logan Sisson's RBI double and Nelson's run scoring single that put their team up 8-7 in the fourth. The Mustangs added two unearned runs in the fifth, including another RBI double for Bryce Rogokos.
"It's walks that killed us," Henoch said. "Eleven walks -- we're sitting pretty if we cut that down."
McCartney was 2 for 3 with two walks and two runs scored, while Stover had three hits and two RBI. Johnson had two hits and Jacob Sarver two RBI for North.
Salina 4, Mudcats 1
The Falcons began the tournament with a 9 a.m. contest Thursday against the Kansas Mudcats, a team made up primarily of players from schools in and around Topeka.
Salina starter Matt Rowe went the distance while raising his record to 5-0. Rowe allowed six hits and the one earned run, striking out five and giving up no walks. He lowered his earned run average this season to 1.77.
"It was his turn to throw, but in the first game of a tournament, we would put him out there anyway," Henoch said of Rowe. "We're confident that he'll throw strikes."
"We had a 10 o'clock game when we went to Missouri last week and came out sluggish," Rowe said. "We made sure we were focused and ready to go this morning."
Salina scored all the runs it needed with two in the bottom of the third. Boyer's infield single with the bases loaded scored McCartney, before Jordan McMillian's two-out walk scored Stover to make it 2-0.
The Falcons had singles from Cody Walters, Jordan Floyd and Stover to load the bases in the fourth, with Rowe's base on balls adding another run. Floyd's second hit drove in Colin Blackim with Salina's final run in the fifth.
The Falcons' nine hits were all singles, including two each for Floyd and Walters.
"The guys know that at this level and using wood bats, pitching and defense will be key," Henoch said.
The Falcons' defense did not commit an error, with Mermis at shortstop and Stover at second making nice running catches on shallow pop flies. Walters also started a double play at third immediately after the Mudcats scored their only run on Gates Glassel's RBI single in the sixth.

Someone who has shared interests and has an adventouros spirit. A person I could develope new interests and hobbies with. Make new memories with.

New investigation into death of Amy Winehouse announced
The coroner who performed the autopsy is suspended
LONDON - There will be a new investigation into what caused the death of singer Amy Winehouse, government officials in Britain confirmed to CNN.
London's Camden Council says the coroner who performed the original investigation into Winehouse's death did not have proper credentials and has been suspended.
There had been speculation that the case would be reopened after the coroner who conducted the investigation resigned in February.
A new investigation into the death will begin on January 8, reports CNN's Richard Allen Greene from London.
Winehouse died in July 2011. She was 27 years old.

A simple homemade dinner
Let's try this one again, no trying to queue stuff or the like this time.
I got quite the nice simple homemade dinner this week. I came home to almost all of my food prep to get dinner ready and one the table done for me. Yay! The only thing better for me would have been the cooked meal but this made me pretty happy.
So all my veggies were prepped so they could be steamed and then have a little butter, salt a pepper tossed on them.
After the veggies the boyfriend went to work cutting up potatoes to have oven roasted potatoes. What went on to theses was a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper.
(Can you tell that my boyfriend helped?)
Finally the defrosted chicken was addressed. The chicken breasted were seasoned with basil, parsley, lemon pepper and salt. I had a little trouble getting the chicken to cook all the way through without burning the outside so I had a solution! Make some sauce!
I took the chicken out for a moment to toss in some roughly chopped garlic with some butter. I deglazed the pan (removed the chrispy bits) with some vermouth. I put the chicken back in the pan and I let the whole mess simmer for a bit.
Then the whole wonderful thing was put together so I had this:

the jrt.txt file never created. but the summary still says that it has stability issues 10 programs, and the registry has 221 errors. Also I have to use another computer to download the software and put it on a thumbplug.

...have to use another computer to download the software and put it on a thumbplug. Every time I try to download anything from the internet, I get a yellow pop up on the bottom of the screen that says, "couldn't download".
Also, can you be more specific on what the pop-up says?
|My System Specs
|15 May 2013
I believe this has been happening for a while. But just noticed this last night. Tried to download the Security Check.exe and it says: "Securitycheck.exe couldn't be downloaded. Retry Cancel View downloads." I even tried with any other download like a file from my email, and same thing.
|My System Specs
|15 May 2013
You are probably at work now, so will see you later when you provide the following:
The downloading problem may occur if a certain Security option in Internet Options is checked.
So, let's see what you have...
In IE, go to the Menu bar (at the top), and select: Tools > Internet Options
In Internet Options prompt, select the Advanced tab
In the Settings area, scroll down to Security
Make sure the following is unchecked: Do not save encrypted pages to disk
File downloads in Internet Explorer require a cache, and, if IE is configured to not save encrypted pages to disk, a cache file is not created making the download fail.
If the above is already unchecked, right-click the IE icon, and select: Run as Administrator
Can you download as Administrator?
Can you download using another browser, like Chrome?
|My System Specs
|15 May 2013
hey cottonball. I just realized that I don't see my post to the IE issue. I did what you have instructed, and still can't download anything. I even uploaded a photo. did you get it?

Vans Classics Old Skool – Spring 2010 Collection
February 21st, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
If you thought the Chambray Pack were the only Vans Old Skools on the way for spring 2010, 1) you were wrong and 2) don't you realize they've been making this shoe for well over 30 years now?! We counted six other pairs in sets of two that each exemplify a certain staple of Vans design: premium suedes and leathers, bright colours, and checkerboards (plus one white-on-white 'bonus' pair). It's quite a nice set this time out, so be sure to click the jump below for more photos and check your local Vans Classics retailer for the Old Skools. via FNG
