Interior Secretary Salazar Sends $15.2 Million to USGS Volcano Observatories to Improve Monitoring
I'm not quite sure I understand your point, Nick. Are you implying that volcanoes in the U.S. don't really threaten to injure or kill tens of thousands of Americans -- that it's some sort of hoax? Are you implying that it's not the Federal government's business to warn people of impending danger to property and human lives?

NPCA: Climate Change Greatest Threat Facing the National Park System
I once read that one way to visualize the earth's atmosphere is to think of a standard desk model of the earth. The atmosphere would be represented by a single coat of varnish on the globe. The envelop of gasses critical to life on earth is literally tissue paper thin. Now, imagine countless millions of tons of CO2, methane and other human generated greenhouse gasses being released into this amazingly thin layer. Can we impact our climate? The answer seems obvious.
Yellowstone and the Snowmobile: Locking Horns Over National Park Use
I, too, will look for this book. The issue of snowmobiles in Yellowstone is only the tip of a much larger iceberg. Off-road vehicles (ORVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are slicing and dicing ever expanding vast stretches of public lands across the nation. Conservation lands in Alaska are particularly impacted. This includes fragile parklands in Denali, Wrangell-St. Elias, Katmai, Gates of the Arctic, etc.. For those interested, Shredded Wildlands, published by the Sierra Club and Alaska Conservation Foundation addresses the ORV/ATV issue in Alaska. http://www.sierraclub.org/wildlands/ORV/shredded_wildlands.pdf

Interior Secretary Salazar Sends $15.2 Million to USGS Volcano Observatories to Improve Monitoring
The link to the USGS Cascades observatory in the story has a lot of information about Mount St. Helens. Although their services aren't specifically tied to NPS areas, a number of the volcanoes the observatories monitor happen to be located in parks.
The USGS volcano observatories seem to provide a very useful function, and I trust the added funds will be used efficiently.

Don't forget Mount St. Helens, just because it is administrated by the forest service. On October 2 2004 the USGS issued a full blown level three alert about an imminent major eruption.[*] Fortunately the pressure was reduced by steam and ash venting and the uprising magma did not erupt but spilled slowly in form of dacite in a new lava dome.

NRA Appeals Ruling Blocking Concealed Carry in National Parks
Not to meantion the insane bill sitting on the governor's desk in Montana. A bill that would eliminate the need for federal background checks and registration on guns that are made and sold in the state of Montana. My first question would be: Why in the world would any "law abiding citizen" object to a simple background check to verify that they are a "law abiding citizen" when purchasing a firearm? This will make Montana the "gun capitol" of America. If I were not a "law abiding citizen", I would surely buy my guns there. Indeed, if I were a crime "kingpin", I would set up a dealer there. Oh sure, these guns are not supposed to be transported out of the state, but exactly how is that going to be prevented? And, hey! The fact that these guns are being used to commit crimes in Miami or L.A. isn't Montana's problem. Right? My second question would be: Just what are Montanans afraid of? Or for that matter Idahoans or Wyomingites? Big rash of home invasions in Harve' or Lincoln that I haven't heard about? These states have pretty low violent crime rates compared to the National average. And that's not because of liberal gun laws; it's because of low population densities. Is it the feds themselves that they fear? Do they really think that the Obama "gestapo" is going to bang on their door and take away their guns? And if, in some sort of Bazarro world, that really did happen, do they really think that they would stop at the doors of those who had background checks or registrations? Or do they really think that they could stand up against federal tanks and military weapons with their hunting rifles and handguns? How'd that work out at Waco and Ruby Ridge, BTW?
Thank goodness the Montana legislature only meets every two years!
I worry that it will take another national tragedy, like Bobby Kennedy or Martin Luther King, for people to wake up and tides to turn again. People have just become numb to news stories about ten people shot and killed, or twenty or fifty seven. Unless they personally know one of the victims, they are just numbers.
Yellowstone and the Snowmobile: Locking Horns Over National Park Use
Gerald Mernin, the ranger quoted above in Kurt's review of the book, is one of the most astute observers of Yellowstone. He spent almost his entire career in the park and loved it as much as anyone whom I know. He constantly fought against the trivialization of the park, recognizing that making it just like every where else would ultimately lead to the loss of what made it unique and wonderful. He once told me, "There are no bad days in Yellowstone, just different days." It's too bad the former administration and the current park management didn't/don't have the same reverence for the park that Jerry did.

All I can say on the gun issue is, spend a day at your local hospital emergency room and see the terrible consequences of gun violence: the deadly aftermath of gun violence and carnage that fills the hospital morgue with the most pitiless and senseless acts of mans inhumanity to man. If one has witness the incredible and horrendous pressures that a highly trained ER trauma team has to go through to save the life of an individual that has been shot to pieces (like swiss cheese) by a semi-automatic rifle...then perhaps you might think of promoting tougher gun laws. I have seen ALL the aftermath of gun violence (as a former surgical tech) and tagging the toes of the dead before their entry to the morgue. Just the very cold sickly smell of the morgue leaves me with one question...WHY? Why this chronic love affair with guns and more guns in the home and with society? It's just pure stupidity mixed with paranoia that has run amuck with society...and with baseless irrational fear.
Yellowstone and the Snowmobile: Locking Horns Over National Park Use
I will buy and read the book; but, I sure hope he has also captured, not just what snowmobiles do to the Park, but also to West Yellowstone the town. Snowmobiles have damaged the environment and cheapened the experience of the Park; but, it's nothing compared to the effect of the blue smoke, noise, and gangster-controlled environment in the town. Snowmobiles have made West a horrible place to try to live in the winter and it doesn't have to be that way. West has plenty of potential to be so much more; but, the snowmobile racket wants to funnel everything toward their pockets and their control. That's the real "human" legacy of the snowmobiles!
Sky Diving at Denali National Park? A Florida-Based Company Thinks It's a Great Idea
Mr. Burnett - You are right, as usual. The NPS would be saddled with the cost of any recovery of lost people (or bodies) whether there is a waiver or not. Passing that cost along to the Adventure company doesn't cover the cost of losing an NPS (or other) rescuer. It is not an ideal situation but I have been there and, while I agree with the other comments (I liked the letter about the mountain being visible only 17% of the time), it would be a spectacular jump. I could never afford it but I would like to take that jump! What I really liked was the idea that the NPS gets 25% of the cost of the jump for each jumper. Denali is one of the better funded parks but even they need more money to keep the park in the best shape. Upon further review though, the risks probably outweigh the benefits.
Sky Diving at Denali National Park? A Florida-Based Company Thinks It's a Great Idea
National Parks are not places for adventure travel. extreme sports enthusiasts need to get over their sense of entitlement. $25,000 does not buy one the right to apply their "sport" anywhere they choose. they should do it over the state park at denali.
what about the visual landscape? I for one would be awfully angry if I were observing Denali showing it's peak, a rarity in itself, only to have the view ruined by extreme sky-divers streaking through the sky.

Does this jump come with monogramed body bags. Have any of therse idiots ever been up here,where are they going to land eutopia? I think someone needs to come up and look at the terrain. You have to ride a bus ninety two miles to get a glimpse of denali,and its only visible in a good year 5% of the time so that averages to approximately 17 days a year i say keep your ideas for tourism down there in florida where they belong.

Sky Diving at Denali National Park? A Florida-Based Company Thinks It's a Great Idea
Jimi Whitten -
Some interesting ideas, and I appreciate your sharing them.
However, while a "signed waiver of liability if someone is lost or harmed" may or may not deal with any potential legal issues or costs, it doesn't seem remove the park's obligation to respond and rescue people who are injured - or worse. Especially in a remote location like Denali, who else is there to handle a potentially difficult rescue in such challenging terrain?
Yes, most parks, including Denali, get invaluable help and support at times from the military, state and local agencies and volunteers in emergencies, but the park still normally has to take the lead when things go wrong on NPS property, irregardless of who is legally liable for the situation.

Hopefully will have some great photos and stories posted in a few weeks.

Have them sign a waiver clearing the NPS of liability if someone is lost or harmed. Limit the number of flights or days (say two or four days a month) and have each vendor cut the park in for 25% of the cost of the adventure. Beyond that - slam pandora's box shut with a firm EACH PPLICANT FOR ADVENTURE WILL BE AT THE DISCRETION OF NPS! The park is clear of liability, they firmly state that they get to decide on applicants on a case by case basis and they make a little much needed maintenance money.
Mount Rainier National Park: Reaching Out to Camping Newbies
I lived in Bothell, WA as a child and could actually see Mt. Rainier from my front yard. I loved it up there! Happiest years of my whole childhood! We moved a lot and I now live in the hot Central Valley of California. If I still lived near Seattle, I would most certainly take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. My kids are grown now, but I could take my grandkids!
NPCA: Climate Change Greatest Threat Facing the National Park System
"All catastrophic climate change predictions depend on the idea that small amounts of warming will themselves cause larger amounts of warming. This goes beyond the complexity of the original equation, and requires a shocking amount of voodoo and guesswork, to come to a conclusion that is wholly counterintuitive."
Why do you think it requires a shocking amount of voodoo and guesswork? It's actually based on solid science. We have extensive records of climate changes over hundreds of thousands of years. The connection between the ice ages and the Milankovitch cycles (variations in the earth's orbit) are well established and yet those variations aren't remotely large enough to cause climate change of that magnitude on their own. Clearly they triggered something else much more significant.
It was also counterintuitive (to some) once that the earth is not at the center of the universe. Nor do I think it is counterintuitive. It is easy to see that the melting of sea ice, ice caps and glaciers will cause the planet to reflect less heat and absorb more, and that the melting of permafrost leads to more greenhouse emissions.
The evidence that positive feedbacks play a strong role initially after a smaller effect triggers the start of a climate-changing episode is overwhelming. Negative feedbacks are strong, but kick in much later, which is why climate change periods don't lead to ice worlds or a Venus-on-earth.
I think that in the end, the question is this: are people willing to follow the science where it leads, whether or not the result is intuitive to them, or will they always see another conspiracy when they don't like the results of the research.

Ramin Parham, an Iranian exile, dissident and intellectual, says that if the current regime in Tehran falls it would open the way for strong Israeli-Iranian relations – perhaps even "a very important strategic axis."Parham was speaking to The Jerusalem Post on Thursday while in Israel to interview current and past government officials for a forthcoming book on ties between the two countries.Such an axis, he told the Post, could become the economic and security powerhouse in the Middle East.He added that Israeli officials told him they were optimistic about relations if the Islamic Republic were to fall, saying he was impressed by their knowledge about the country. Some, he said, had been there during the Islamic Revolution in 1979.Asked if Iranians really cared so much about the Palestinians, Parham said that aside from government-sponsored protests and those organized by pro-Palestinian activists, "have you ever seen any public Iranian protests" on the issue? He said that during the anti-government unrest in 2009 there had been two slogans: One called for a non-Islamic "Iranian republic," and the other said: "Neither Gaza nor Lebanon, I give my life for Iran.""Despite all the propaganda and money, there has never been in 35 years outside the revolutionary chaos of February 1979 a genuine, spontaneous demonstration by the Iranian people in the streets for Palestine or some Arab cause," Parham claimed.He said US President Barack Obama ignored the 2009 Green Movement-led protests, saying the American leader instead was busy trying to engage the regime. He added, however, that the situation was "getting ripe for another uprising."Parham, who lives in Paris and is working on his third book, left Iran for the first time in 1982, returned in late 2001- early 2002, and then left for good in 2002, beginning his political writing in 2004."It is a difficult choice to make to be a dissident, but I love my country," he said.His family left Iran, as they would have been in danger due to his political writings."I will take the first plane back if the regime falls," he exclaimed. "I would be happy to take it from Tel Aviv!" Asked about his relationship with Jews, Parham said that as a child, his best friend had been Jewish – and that his friend's grandfather was killed during the aftermath of the Revolution. He has a number of Jewish friends from his time in America and France."I have a great admiration for Israel, what you have done here," he exclaimed, predicting that "the real face of Iran will come back and Israel can resume the very good relations with the new Iran that we hope will emerge."Iran and Israel maintained strong relations during the rule of the Shah.Parham also spoke to the Post about the presidential elections of 2013, in which Hassan Rouhani won with just over 50 percent of the vote, according to government figures. The hardliner and government-backed candidate Saeed Jalili received only 11%, according to official figures.Parham maintains that many of the four-million votes awarded to Jalili, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's preferred candidate, were fraudulent.Hence, "at most, 10% of Iranians are true believers in the regime," he said.Some are still supporting it for economic interests, he added, pointing out that even at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union there were still many communist believers in the USSR. He added that around 15 million Iranians, mainly from the middle class and the cities, did not vote.The "Arab Spring" started in Persian Iran, he said, noting that the country had a history of public activism going back to protests in the late 19th century."Israeli experts also will tell you that no other country in the region, besides Israel, is as Western-oriented and as ready to accept a real democratic system," he said."Iran can learn from Israelis, not just in hi-tech but in political terms, how to build a true and genuine republic," he continued, pointing out that he admired the Jewish state's strong sense of community and balance between religion and democracy.He said that in Iran, the religious element would always remain although the regime had ruined the Shi'ite religion and mosques have been empty. He added that the clerical establishment had lost its legitimacy and was extremely corrupt.He believes, however, that toppling the regime is the responsibility of the Iranian people and that an attack against the regime or its nuclear sites would cause people to rally behind it. He thinks the best policy is one of public diplomacy that appeals directly to the Iranian people."Change can only come from within Iran, but yes, they need help from the outside, from Iranian exiles to show new horizons," he said.Regarding Iran's current nuclear negotiations with the West, Parham said they had raised tensions among the leadership."Many security people are benefiting from sanctions and don't want them lifted," he said, explaining that keeping the country closed suited their economic interests.He went on to say that he arrived in Israel on the same day the news broke of Israel seizing the ship carrying Iranian weapons for Gaza."I perfectly understand the security concerns of Israel, though military action against this regime, in my view, would not solve the nuclear problem, but at best postpone the program by a few years," he said. "Any action would harm the process of internal change and would have consequences which are difficult to predict and manage."

Vt. gets federal aid for flood damageJuly 27,2013The U.S. Department of Transportation is providing Vermont $1 million to help the state pay to repair damage from a series of unprecedented spring and summer floods that damaged roads across the state.
The Federal Highway Administrations Emergency Relief Program provides funds for the repair or reconstruction of some federal roads and bridges damaged by natural disasters or catastrophic events.
The three members of Vermonts congressional delegation praised the decision.
This is a much-needed infusion of federal funds to help towns throughout Vermont repair roads washed out by several storms this year, said a statement by U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch.
A presidential disaster declaration already has been issued for flooding in Chittenden, Washington and Essex counties between May 22 and May 26. The declaration means the state will be entitled to federal help recovering from those events.
State officials are hoping another declaration will be issued for more recent flooding.
The storms began in May and lasted until early July. There were about 30 separate road segments closed by storm damage.
Significant damage was reported in nine counties.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in... Full StoryHoliday Festival Full StorySpeed blamed Full Story

"Juveniles in the Criminal Justice System"
What is Court Watch?
Court Watch is a collaborative, community-based approach to criminal justice. Concerned citizens partner with police, prosecutors, probation officers, and other resources to promote sentencing accountability with the court system. Community participation makes Court Watch successful. At Court Watch meetings, Minneapolis City Attorneys, Hennepin County Attorneys, Neighborhood Probation, Minneapolis Police and social service agencies respond to questions and provide regular updates about offenders, arrests, court dates and outcomes. The community leads and drives a Court Watch by

Downtown Service Area Master Plan and Downtown Public Realm Framework Steering Committee Meeting
Tuesday, December 2, 6:30 — 8:30 pm
MPRB Headquarters, 2117 West River Road, Board Room
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and the City of Minneapolis are embarking on concurrent planning processes to develop a Downtown Service Area Master Plan and a Downtown Public Realm Framework. These plans will form a vision for parks, open space and the public realm in downtown Minneapolis. You are invited to an initial meeting of a Steering Committee (Community Advisory Committee) as it begins the effort of guiding the creation of these plans. Members of the public are welcome to attend this and all Steering Committee meetings. The Downtown Service Area Master Plan will guide the MPRB's long-term capital improvements, management and operations of public parks in downtown, including envisioning and identifying new park and recreation opportunities. City of Minneapolis Planning staff is creating the Downtown Public Realm Framework, a guiding policy document for enhancing the pedestrian experience in downtown Minneapolis. The MPRB's plan will focus on the downtown park system's existing parks and trails, while the City's will focus on downtown's network of streetscapes, urban plazas and other publicly-accessible spaces. Together, these documents will envision the park, open space and public realm features that will support a thriving downtown and a vibrant urban experience. To see a schedule of Steering Committee meetings, sign up for email updates, follow the blog and learn more about the project, please visit the project page at www.minneapolisparks.org/currentprojects and select "Downtown Service Area Master Plan."

Front and center, we have our winter fairy. We bought one fairy for each season from Magic Cabin Dolls. I won't lie, these dolls are expensive, but I used good coupons and bought them over a period of time. Also, as so much of learning revolves around the season right now, I considered them to be a long term investment. We are currently using them for seasonal table decorations for our second year. Plus Sola really enjoys playing with them. In fact, she often puts on outdoor "plays" for me, where she pretends to be each fairy and sings and dances in the way that she feels that fairy would.The other fairy doll that we have is a Kathy Kruse doll. Sola added her to the table, because she said she is a snow fairy. She may well be a snow fairy, for as much as I can remember, but we tend to use her as fairy godmother. We have a fairly large collection of Kathy Kruse dolls. I started purchasing them for Sola's doll house, but then liked them so much, I bought several more to use for story telling. Unfortunately, I cannot point you to a particular store to buy these from. I bought mine over a year's time from several Waldorf stores, Magic Cabin, Ebay, small toy stores, and even a couple from stores in foreign countries. Many of the dolls we own are discontinued, so you'd have to be pretty persistent to get a whole collection of knights, princesses, fairies, family members, etc.
Next, we have our seasonal peg gnomes. The one on the left is the January gnome. I made all of the monthly gnomes, because I couldn't find any anywhere else. The blue gnome is a days-of-the-week gnome, which I also made. The snow gnome I purchased as a set of weather gnomes from the Etsy store Wild Faerie Caps. Unfortunately, she does not appear to have any gnomes currently available. If you are interested in learning to make peg dolls, gnomes, or otherwise, I highly recommend the book Making Peg Dolls, by Margaret Bloom.
We have several Waldorf postcards on our seasonal table. You can purchase these in sets from several Waldorf stores, but I found the easiest place to buy them from is from a German store, called Waldorf Toys. Their shipping is reasonable, they are very friendly and helpful, and you can buy just the cards you like, instead of paying for full sets, which might contain several cards that you don't like. I have a variety of postcard holders, some hang on the wall, some just hold cards, and some contain candles also. I bought our postcard holders from Waldorf Toys, other Waldorf stores, and Etsy stores.
I try to include some Ostheimer wooden animals, which I usually buy from Wooden Wagon, on all of our displays. I usually try to use animals that we might find in the woods in our area during a particular season, but Sola was insistent that she wanted only to display our polar bears. The wooden animals are another area that I have sunk some money into. In addition to using them for our seasonal displays, we use them for story telling props, and doll house/farm animals, and just for general play. They are also one of the few toys that I plan to save for my grandchildren.
Each season, I include some gems that I feel represent the current season. Honestly, I usually choose the gems based on their colors. Usually, I leave them out loose on the shelf, so that Sola can explore them, but these particular gems pieces are pretty sharp and I didn't want them to end up on the floor and cut someone's foot. Sola can still explore them, but she must put them away as soon as she is done. These gems also often get incorporated into doll play and story telling as treasure or magical stones. Some of the gems will even find their way into our fairy garden in the spring. I usually buy my gems from Etsy merchants and I don't spend much on these. I don't need rubies when I can buy garnets for red stones and so forth. Eventually, these gems will become a starting point for a study of rocks and gems, when Sola is farther along in her education.
The wooden scenery sets that I have for each season come from the Etsy store, The Enchanted Cupboard.
Finally, I always have a wooden stacker on our seasonal display that I feel reflects the season. My favorite stackers are Grimm's Spiel ind Holz Design's, as their stacker pieces are nice and wide, so the stackers don't fall over very easily (plus they make cool tunnels for cars and little dolls to go through when playing with them). These can be found on Amazon, at the Wooden Wagon, and from a variety of other retailers. Unfortunately, they don't have stackers that I feel represent each season, so for other stackers, I turn to….you guessed it!… and Etsy store, Imagination Kids.
And that's it. We will certainly be starting to add nature trinkets that Sola finds on our walks.
I'm sharing this post with:

OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 State Trackers For Gallium3D
Published on 15 May 2009 01:25 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
11 Comments
Just minutes after announcing
Mesa 7.5 Release Candidate 2
, Brian Paul has announced that he is in the process of pushing out
state trackers for OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0. These two new state trackers for this forthcoming Linux graphics architecture are coming just two weeks after an
OpenVG state tracker
was released for accelerating this other Khronos API.
The OpenGL ES 1.1 and ES 2.0 state trackers each provide a subset of Mesa plus other ES-specific bits. The OpenGL ES API is designed for embedded systems that need 3D graphics capabilities. The OpenGL ES 1.x API is designed for fixed-function hardware and is similar to the mainline OpenGL 1.5 specification. The OpenGL ES 2.x API is designed for fully programmable hardware and is comparable to OpenGL 2.0. OpenGL ES 2.x supports vertex and fragment shaders using the OpenGL ES Shading Language.
With these Gallium3D state trackers, now any Gallium3D-compatible graphics driver will be able to provide full hardware acceleration for OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0. This code is being committed to the Mesa Git repository under an "opengl-es" branch, but we suspect it will be met with the OpenVG state tracker in the master code-base in time for Mesa 7.6.
The announcement concerning these two new Gallium3D state trackers for embedded systems support can be read on the
Mesa3D development list
Now we just need to wait for the
OpenCL state tracker
and an
OpenGL 3.1
state tracker.

Overall: 4.2 / 5 based on 24 reviews
22 of 24 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.
Lido a go go -
By: LuckyPanama4me from Sanford, NC
What a great panama! It's got the look I had been searching for with its narrow leather band and natural upturn at the rear. The downside is that it's the summer heat that this hat is designed for with its ample ventilation has passed us by. But it will be hot again and that's when my fashion statement hat will shine.
Love the hat -
By: Evello
Great looking hat. I have gotten several compliments about it. Very stylish and comfortable. Venting looks good and is practical. Size runs a little big and the hat band should be real leather. But the style and construction make up for it.
Nice Panama hat -
By: TRUITT from Pennsauken, NJ
This is my second Panama - first from Orvis and i really like this one. The style- the color- the brim size and sale price!! Would recommend this product to anyone who likes nice hats!!
Love that "Orvis". -
By: seawalt39 from Duxbury, Massachusetts
I've been eyeing this great hat for some time. I feel great wearing this LIDO Vented Panama Hat because of its stylish appearance and quality. Your Orvis Customer Support Team is just fantastic. Walter
It's Stetson, of course. -
By: Timo from SEATTLE(watertown)WA.
My third Stetson, first straw hat from them. It looks better in hand than picture on line. The vented crown is much nicer than photo. The snap(front curve) poped right down, no steam needed It's brand new but the straw feels like it will last. Happy, Happy!!!!
Lido Panama Hat -
By: RickG22 from Haymarket VA
Nice fit and style. The only concern is I noticed some initial fraying under the front brim, when I tried to shape it. Either the wire under construction is too strong for the weave, or the weave needs to be reinforced there. I am afraid over time the material will fail with too much manipulation of the fron trim.
Quality Premium Summer Hat -
By: LouisianaKingfish from Alexandria, LA
Top 1000 Contributor
The Lido Vented Panama Hat is quality made with meticulous attention to detailed fabrication using premium materials. I felt dapper wearing it with my Sunday suit to church services, and the vented slots are perfect match with the hot, humid Louisiana climate. The brim is of sufficient width, not too broad nor too small for dressed wear. The hat is most stylish. The leather band surrounding the crown, while not the epitome of luxury, is of sufficient quality commensurate with the excellent character of the hat. I love it.
Great cover -
By: Fb64 from North Carolina
The hat is great! Quality material and construction. Allows air to flow well.
Fine Hat! -
By: RichofBoise from San Francisco
Best straw hat I ever owned, period. Once the brim is set in front - a little steam helps - this hat is not only very comfortable on the warmest days, but very handsome and stylish, without being effronterous...
hat -
By: JJ221
this is the worst panama (straw) hat I have ever seen. the weave is very large as in cheap hats. The whole hat is very poor and looks more like something you see in tourist traps for $29.00 . not the usual product from Orvis.

ALS, three pages, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, September 10, 1930. Letter to William D. Guthrie. In full: "Because you have always been so splendid in answering a call to service I am asking your assistance in the very great necessity of restoring public confidence in the integrity of our Courts—Mr. Rosenman, my counsel will give you the enclosed letter which explains itself and will tell you any details of the situation. I am not concerned with the politics of this, but the good reports of our judiciary and indeed of the Bar itself is at stake—I mean it when I say that no person in the whole country can command the respect and confidence which you can in sifting to their foundations the stories, innuendoes and allegations which are appearing. Obviously we cannot let these go on, but obviously also, we must proceed with dignity and in accordance with the constitution and the law—If you think my letter to you should in any way be altered will you tell Mr. Rosenman? I hope you will accept—for the great good of the State." In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip impression to the upper left. Accompanied by Guthrie's retained carbon copies of his response, declining the request. Roosevelt had become governor in 1929, inheriting what was left of the corrupt Tammany Hall political machine that had pervaded state politics for decades. This letter must have been spurred by the disappearance of Joseph Force Crater, an associate justice of the New York Supreme Court, who had gone missing in early August. No alarm was raised—he had said he was going on a trip—until August 25, when he failed to appear for the opening of the courts, but the police were not notified until September 3. The case immediately became front-page news and received widespread publicity, but no trace of Force was ever found. The suspicious circumstances of the vanished judge added to public disquiet about corruption in city government—and as FDR points out here, undermined the integrity of the state's legal system. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.

How much more rope for Espinosa?
May 15, 2013, 10:00 AM EST
Associated Press
After going 0-for-4 last night, Danny Espinosa is hitting .175 for the season.
There's no shame in being shut out by Clayton Kershaw, so it's tough to be overly critical of the Nationals after they were overwhelmed by the Dodgers ace last night during a 2-0 loss in Los Angeles.
Truth be told, several members of the Nats lineup put together some really impressive at-bats against Kershaw, from Ryan Zimmerman's 3-hit night to Adam LaRoche and Eury Perez fouling off pitch after pitch from the lefty late, driving up his pitch count to the point manager Don Mattingly had no choice but to pull his starter (at 132 pitches) with two outs in the ninth.
But in the bigger picture, the Nationals still aren't putting together enough quality at-bats on a nightly basis. Zimmerman and LaRoche certainly appear to be coming along after slow starts, Ian Desmond has been solid and Bryce Harper has carried this club offensively through much of the season's first six weeks.
But there are a couple of major holes in the lineup right now, and the biggest of them all is occupied by Danny Espinosa.Read more »

The Spanish Brass quintet will perform a free show at the Lightner Museum in December.
The performance on Dec. 11 is open to the public, and seating will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Five Spanish musicians formed Spanish Brass in 1989, and the project became world renowned for its performances, educational activities and collaborations, according to a city news release.
Demolition began this morning on a building on State Road 207 near Interstate 95 that used to house a strip club.
Cafe Erotica closed in 2005, and the building deteriorated over the years.
The owner of the building decided to have it demolished after an inspection.
The inspection by county officials revealed that the roof would need to be replaced. The property had also been vandalized and used by transients.
Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about Monday:
The grand jury weighing whether to charge Officer Darren Wilson in the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown apparently didn't reach a decision Friday, and there has been no official confirmation on when it will reconvene.
The following is from police reports from the St. Augustine Police Department (SAPD), the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office (SJCSO), and the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
Bingham, John Steven, 54, Whittier, Ca. Charge: DUI - Unlawful blood alcohol. (SAPD)
Blount, Arlis Glendell, 18, St. Augustine. Charge: Failure to appear. (SJCSO)
There's no end to the strange and dangerous stuff air travelers bring with them to Jacksonville International Airport.
So as AAA Travel projects a record 46.3 million Americans traveling during the Thanksgiving weekend, airport officials remind air travelers to watch what they pack and law enforcement warns about more drivers on local roads.
The Transportation Security Administration unveiled items confiscated at Jacksonville International Airport's security checkpoint to show that many don't look before they pack.
In a game of word association, if the word was "Juan Ponce de Leon," the popular response would be, "The Fountain of Youth." This is the famous explorer's claim to fame, but in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, another kind of water legacy — holy water — is keeping his memory alive.
The nation's oldest parish is home to a replica baptismal font used to baptize Ponce de Leon as an infant in 1474 in Santervas de Campo, Spain.
Another colorful paint job on Anastasia Boulevard will be getting a second look from the Historic Architectural Review Board next month.
A code enforcement official found that the paint job at the art gallery and events venue at 115 Anastasia Blvd., also known as Planet! Sarbez!, was in violation of the code.
"Surface graphics are not allowed, and the paint treatment does not appear to highlight architectural features," said Jenny Wolfe, the city's historic preservation planner, at the Nov. 20 HARB meeting.
Now, in the morning, my eyes go straight up to the heavens. My habit is to get up early, when the first rays of the sun start to creep into my bedroom.
I go directly outside and look into the slowly lightening sky. I'm looking for that first flake of snow.
This all started a few weeks ago, camping out on the banks of the Suwannee River up in Live Oak. It got cold, a temperature I hadn't felt in my bones for a long time. The iphone said it was 29 degrees.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida State graduate Myron May seemed to change from a well-liked young attorney to would-be killer in a matter of months, stopped only by a fusillade of police bullets outside the library at his alma mater after he opened fire on students who dove between the stacks to escape.
Earlier this year, May, who went on to graduate from the Texas Tech law school, was a rookie prosecutor in New Mexico.
He was also beginning to fall apart.
A hit-and-run traffic fatality involving a bicyclist is currently being investigated by detectives of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit along with the Traffic Section.
The victim has been identified as Madison Jacob Meyer, 26, of St. Augustine.
Deputies along with St. Johns County Fire Rescue responded to the area of Hilltop Road and Kings Estate Road at 6:53 a.m. Sunday morning and located a deceased white male lying on the side of the road. A bicycle was located nearby which appeared to be struck by a vehicle.
