An understanding of plant ecology is central to sound environmental decisions. The ways in which plants interact with each other, with other organisms, and with their environment will be studied by observing natural history, investigating ecological theory through experimentation, and through discussions of the current scientific literature. Explore the ecology of different Midwestern plant communities, including wetlands, dunes, woodlands and prairies, and learn to understand and interpret these systems. Students will take field trips in Illinois, Indiana, SW Michigan and SE Wisconsin to study the different plant populations and communities of the Upper Midwest.

Authorities storm Alabama bunker, rescue young boyThe Associated Press | February 05,2013MIDLAND CITY, Ala. Authorities stormed an underground bunker Monday in Alabama, freeing a 5-year-old boy who had been held hostage for nearly a week in the tiny backyard shelter and leaving the boys abductor dead.
After days of fruitless negotiations, talks had deteriorated with an increasingly agitated Jimmy Lee Dykes, who had kidnapped the child from a school bus after fatally shooting the driver.
Dykes had been seen with a gun, and officers concluded the boy was in imminent danger, said Steve Richardson of the FBIs office in Mobile.
Officials refused to say how the 65-year-old died.
Ever since this started, theres never been a moment that (the boy) wasnt on my mind, said Michael Senn, pastor of a church near where reporters had been camped out since the standoff began. So when I heard that he was OK, it was just like a thousand pounds lifted off of me.
The rescue capped a long drama that drew national attention to this town of 2,400 people nestled amid peanut farms and cotton fields that has long relied on a strong Christian faith, a policy of love thy neighbor and the power of group prayer. The childs plight prompted nightly candlelight vigils.
Throughout the ordeal, authorities had been speaking with Dykes though a plastic pipe that went into the shelter. They also sent food, medicine and other items into the bunker, which apparently had running water, heat and cable television but no toilet. It was about 4 feet underground, with about 50 square feet of floor space.
Authorities said the kindergartner appeared unharmed. He was taken to a hospital in nearby Dothan. Officials have said he has Aspergers syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
FBI bomb technicians were clearing the property for explosive devices and planned to look more closely at the scene when its safe, FBI spokesman Jason Pack said.
Daryle Hendry, who lives about a quarter-mile from the bunker, said he heard a boom Monday afternoon, followed by what sounded like a gunshot.
Melissa Nighton, city clerk in Midland City, said a woman had been praying in the town center Monday afternoon. Not long after, the mayor called with news that Dykes was dead and that the boy was safe.
She must have had a direct line to God because shortly after she left, they heard the news, Nighton said.
Neighbors described Dykes as a menacing, unpredictable man who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.
Government records and interviews with neighbors indicate that Dykes joined the Navy in Midland City and served on active duty from 1964 to 1969. His record shows several awards, including the Vietnam Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. During his service, Dykes was trained in aviation maintenance.
He had some scrapes with the law in Florida, including a 1995 arrest for improper exhibition of a weapon. The misdemeanor was dismissed. He also was arrested for marijuana possession in 2000.
He returned to Alabama about two years ago, moving onto the rural tract about 100 yards from his nearest neighbors.
Ronda Wilbur, a neighbor of Dykes who said the man beat her dog to death last year with a pipe, said she was relieved to be done with the stress of knowing Dykes was patrolling his yard and willing to shoot at anyone or anything that trespassed.
The nightmare is over. Its been a long couple of years of having constant stress, she said.
On Sunday, more than 500 people attended a memorial service for bus driver Charles Albert Poland Jr., who was hailed as a hero for protecting the two dozen other children on the bus before he was gunned down and the little boy grabbed.
This man was a true hero who was willing to give up his life so others might live, Gov. Robert Bentley said in a news release after learning of the boys rescue.MORE IN Wire NewsWilliam Spoor, who rose from poverty to become chief executive of Pillsbury and transform it...

Liu, Zhuang and Tabakman, Scott and Welsher, Kevin and Dai, Hongjie (2009) Carbon nanotubes in biology and medicine: In vitro and in vivo detection, imaging and drug delivery. Nano Research, 2 (2). pp. 85-120.
|PDF - Published Version
Official URL: http://www.springerlink.com/content/m6t5871n558417...
Carbon nanotubes exhibit many unique intrinsic physical and chemical properties and have been intensively explored for biological and biomedical applications in the past few years. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the main results from our and other groups in this field and clarify that surface functionalization is critical to the behavior of carbon nanotubes in biological systems. Ultrasensitive detection of biological species with carbon nanotubes can be realized after surface passivation to inhibit the non-specific binding of biomolecules on the hydrophobic nanotube surface. Electrical nanosensors based on nanotubes provide a label-free approach to biological detection. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes opens up a method of protein microarray with detection sensitivity down to 1 fmol/L. In vitro and in vivo toxicity studies reveal that highly water soluble and serum stable nanotubes are biocompatible, nontoxic, and potentially useful for biomedical applications. In vivo biodistributions vary with the functionalization and possibly also size of nanotubes, with a tendency to accumulate in the reticuloendothelial system (RES), including the liver and spleen, after intravenous administration. If well functionalized, nanotubes may be excreted mainly through the biliary pathway in feces. Carbon nanotube-based drug delivery has shown promise in various In vitro and in vivo experiments including delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA), paclitaxel and doxorubicin. Moreover, single-walled carbon nanotubes with various interesting intrinsic optical properties have been used as novel photoluminescence, Raman, and photoacoustic contrast agents for imaging of cells and animals. Further multidisciplinary explorations in this field may bring new opportunities in the realm of biomedicine.

A warrant issued for a 36-year-old Omaha man who plead guilty to criminal impersonation failed to show up for his sentencing hearing in Cass County District Court.
The Cassgram reports Ralph Cotton used someone else's name and birthday to try to avoid a driving under suspension charge when he was pulled over by a Cass County Sheriff's Department deputy in April. It turned out the friend whose identity he used also had a suspended license.
The plea agreement had included the joint recommendation from the prosecution and defense for a 120-day county jail sentence.
The sentencing on the Class IV Felony was to be July 30th, but that was continued after Cotton said he had a funeral to attend. The rescheduled sentencing was Monday. Julie Bear of the public defender's office said she talked to Cotton earlier in the day and he had concerns about getting to a medical appointment if he checked into jail. She said she explained the procedure to him over the phone, but then did not know his whereabouts or why he failed to show for court that afternoon.
A Class IV Felony conviction carries a sentence of up to five years in state prison.

I was married in November 2013 and my dress sat in my basement until I was able to find the right company to clean and preserve my gown. I was so excited when I stumbled upon Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists. I sent my dress to the team at Five Star as I am not local to San Antonio. They were so great with communication as they called me to let me know it arrived and they would take special care of my dress. The quality of service that Five Star provided was not only outstanding but exceeded my expectations. It took a few weeks for them to preserve my dress and then they sent it back to me. They called me with all the shipping information and to let me know when to receive it, I was beyond thrilled with the quality of service and care that was given to my dress as well as me. Thank you to the Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists for helping me finish the final task of my wedding!!

The staff of Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists are great to work with, they are very helpful and professional. They helped me with alterations to my wedding gown and had it ready in time for the bridal portraits and are cleaning it for the ceremony. Their staff is very experience and showed my maid of honor how to tie a corset back. I would highly recommend using Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists for any alterations, cleaning or gown preservation needs.

My husband and I wanted to renew our wedding vowels. Even though we'd only been married for five years, we have had a very difficult And hard marriage with me Having a great many health problems among other things. I've been sick for five years and it's been a very difficult time for both of us – there were times when we weren't sure if we were going to make it. So, doing this renewal was extremely important. It reaffirmed our feelings and goals for our marriage. My husband and I have little to no money (Due to my illnesses, disabilities, and medical bills I can no longer work) and to make things even worse, extremely limited budget to have a wedding on. The only reason we were able to have a vow renewal ceremony was because of the blessings that were bestowed upon us. One of those blessings was from Five Star cleaners. My original plan was to try and spot clean my gown myself. I also had planned on adding my own train. My father advised against me trying to clean them myself and really wanted to contribute to the wedding and so he decided to take care of the cost. We couldn't afford very much at all – getting it cleaned it was a huge expense for us to begin with. Then, the idea of getting the gown bustled – even though it was really needed, the cost again was concerning…. But, we went ahead and did it and the ladies at Five Star assured me that everything would be beautiful and it would look perfect.
A few days later, I called Five Stars wedding department and ended up in tears. I found out that my wedding dress would more than likely would not fit due to Medication and weight gain. The last time I taken this medication for a week I gained over 20 pounds and even though the medication was extremely necessary, it scared me to no end. I was going to have to take the medication for at least a month – all the way to my wedding day. I am Already extremely Self-conscious about my weight inside – to gain even more weight really freaked me out.

Absolutely amazing! I bought my wedding dress through preowned wedding dresses website. It was my dream dress, a Vera Wang! I wasn't sure where to get it altered and saw the reviews for Five Star. I was still a little unsure, but after my first visit all my worries were put to rest! These ladies know what they are doing and they are so nice! They cater to you every minute you are they! I got so many compliments on my dress! They even made a diagram for my bustle and it was so easy to follow! Thank you ladies again for everything! I couldn't be happier!

All of the staff were really friendly and involved, asking exactly what I want and what I planned to do in the dress. I brought my dress to them and they did a beautiful job altering it to the perfect length to dance in. The bustle was a little tricky because the fabric was delicate, but it ended up perfect.
My mom's a hard to fit body type, and we were really concerned with how to fit her. The girls said to just find a dress we liked and they'd make it work for her. So we bought a size 24 dress we loved for my size 20 mom and it ended up beautiful. They even took into account that she walks with a cane and adjusted the length so it wouldn't be a tripping hazard.
And the best part was that they remembered us every time we came into the store!
The best possible experience with an alterations shop I could've hoped for.

SO I am having my wedding in San Antonio (where I grew up) but live in NYC. I came to San Antonio and really only had time for one fitting. I had never tried my dress before, and it was a month and a half before the ceremony. I went to another cleaners who told me my dress wouldn't fit over my hips, was too small, i was too fat, and would have to get a new dress and sell it on ebay. I panicked and was a total mess until someone told us to come here. These people are AMAZING! They calmed me down, told me it would be no problem, in 30 minutes they had let out the seam and the dress was on my body and fit perfectly. They did the alterations and my mom flew up to NYC with the dress last week for bridal portraits, and it was perfect! One fitting was all it took. They comforted me, listened, and more than that did an EXCELLENT job on a short time frame. If you are a bride having any type of issue with your dress, even on a time crunch, this is the place to go! Thank you so much Five Star!

My daughter wore my wedding dress which had been designed by my mother and grandmother who were both professional quality seamstresses. Five Star cleaned and preserved the dress and did a superb job. This dress was silk with re-embroidered Alencon lace and hand beading. Their service was outstanding!!

ESCALON, Calif. – The soaring value of California's nut crops is attracting a new breed of thieves who have been making off with the pricey commodities by the truckload, recalling images of cattle rustlers of bygone days.
This harvest season in the Central Valley, thieves cut through a fence and hauled off $400,000 in walnuts. An additional $100,000 in almonds was stolen by a driver with a fake license. And $100,000 in pistachios was taken by a semi driver who left a farm without filling out any paperwork.
Investigators suspect low-level organized crime may have a hand in cases, while some pilfered nuts are ending up in Los Angeles for resale at farmers markets or disappear into the black market.
Domestic demand for specialty foods and an expanding Asian market for them have prompted a nut orchard boom in the state's agricultural heartland. Such heists have become so common that an industry task force recently formed to devise ways to thwart thieves.
The Wild West is alive and well in certain aspects, said Danielle Oliver of the California Farm Bureau. There's always someone out there trying to make a quick dollar on somebody else's hard work.
Amid the nut boom, farmers have torn out vineyards and other crops to plant nut trees to keep up with demand. Real estate firms, retirement funds and insurance companies have taken note by adding almonds, walnut and pistachio land to diversify their portfolios.
As the nation's top nut producer, the state grows more almonds and pistachios than any other country. Only China produces more walnuts, which have nearly tripled in price in the last five years to about $2 a pound, according to the California Walnut Board.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that through 2012 the state's almond crop was valued at $5 billion a year.
Right now, everybody wants to be a nut grower because it's kind of like the gold rush of the 1850s, said Ripon almond farmer Kevin Fondse of Fondse Brothers Inc. Everybody wants the gold.

JAMISON ROUNDTABLE LUNCHEON - Bill Shireman, Future 500
The City Club of San Francisco
Thursday, April 11, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (PDT)
San Francisco, CA
Who's Going
San Francisco, California

Florence, Italy
Event Details
Please join David Jamison for a special
Roundtable Luncheon featuring Speaker:
Bill Shireman, President of Future 500
Called a "master of environmental entrepreneurism," Bill Shireman has over 20 years of experience developing and implementing programs that align the interests of major corporations and their stakeholders. He develops profitable business strategies that drive pollution down and profits up.
As President and CEO of the Future 500, he helps the world's largest companies and most impassioned activists – from Coca-Cola, General Motors, Nike, Mitsubishi, and Weyerhaeuser, to Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network, and the Sierra Club – work together to improve the profits and performance of business.
Advocating technology as a driver of green growth, Bill has led the development and deployment of these and other tools, at diverse companies in Asia, Europe, and throughout North America. While CEO of the largest state recycling lobby in the U.S., he wrote California's bottle bill recycling law, shown by EPA and academic studies to be the world's most cost-effective. He advocates market-based environmental policies – contending they can be more effective than many command and control laws.
In 2002, with former Mitsubishi CEO Tachi Kiuchi, he wrote the popular book, What We Learned In The Rainforest — Business Lessons from Nature, featured in the Harvard Business Review, which declares the business-as-machine era over, and shows how companies can become as innovative as the rainforest, leveraging feedback to grow more profitable and sustainable than ever.
This will be a small group to allow for questions and discussion, so seating is limited.

It's Okay (One Blood) Lyrics - The Game
Review The Song (1)
It's Okay (One Blood)
Dre, I see dead people
Yo Dre, thought I was dead
West Coast
[Verse 1]
I'm the doctor's advocate, nigga Dre shot cha
Brought me back from the dead, that's why they call him the Doctor
The Math gonna drop him and 50 ain't rockin
With him no more, It's okay, I get it poppin
Whole club rockin like a 6-4 Impala
Drink Cris', throw it up, call the shit hydraulics
Then piss in a cup, call the shit Hypnotiq
I bleed Compton, spit crack and shit Chronic
And you new niggaz ain't shit but new niggaz
Bathing Ape shoe niggaz, I'm talking to you nigga
Bounce in the 6-4, throwing up Westside man
Sell another five million albums, Yes I am
Fresh like damn, this nigga did it again
A hundred thousand on his neck, LA above the brim
Inside the lambo, shotgun with snoop
What would the motherfuckin' west coast be without one crip and
One blood {*4X*}
Blood {*9X*}
One blood {*4X*}
[Verse 2]
I'm from the west side of the 6-4 Impala
Where niggaz say where you from, we will never say holla
Bandana on the right side, gun on the left side
Niggaz in New York know how to throw up the west side
Word to Eazy, I'm so ill, believe me
I made room for Jeezy, but the rest of you niggaz
Better be glad you breathin, All I need is one reason
I'm the king and Dre said it, the west coast need me
I don't know why you niggaz keep tryin me
Everybody know that I'm the heir to the Aftermath dynasty
And I ain't gotta make shit for the club
What DJ gonna turn down a 38 snub
You 38 and you still rappin? Ugh
I'm 26 nigga, so is the dubs
In the '07 Hummer, hop out, nobody dodge
When the chronic smoke clear, all you gonna see is
[Verse 3]
I ain't got beef with 50, no beef with Jay
What's beef when you getting head in the 6-Tre
And the double game chains, I keep 'em on display
Black t-shirt so all you see is the A
Turn on the TV and all you see is the A
You niggaz better make up a dance and try and get radio play
Keep on snapping your fingers, I ain't going away
I don't regret what I spit cause I know what I say
And niggaz talking bout me, they don't know when to stop
I got the Louis Vuiton beltbuckle holding the glock
No bean, no silencer, I know when to pop
Wait til Lil' Jon come on and let off a shot
I had the number 1 billboard spot
Niggaz stepped on my fingers and I climbed right back to the top
I'm Big, I'm Cube, I'm Nas, I'm Pac
This ain't shit but a warning until my album drops
[Chorus] - 2X

I can't thank Scott enough for what he has done for me. I was charged with DWLS 3rd degree in a local district court. I moved to another state and was unable to return to fight the charge. After trying to handle the situation myself, I hired Scott to help me. After reviewing the details and facts of my case, he was relentless in trying to resolve my case after realizing that the charge was illegally filed. He went to court and fought for me and the case was dismissed without me having to appear. I will be forever indebted to Scott for all the work he did for me and saving me from getting my license taken. Thank you Scott!!!!!
Working with Scott's team was awesome. I called a few days before my court date because my schedule had changed and I couldn't fight the ticket on my own. One call, 2 emails and a month later it was (actually, they were!) magically dismissed! I'm very happy to have found such straight-forward, responsive representation. I will definitely recommend Scott to my other speedy friends.
This is the second time that I have hired Scott. My situation was a little difficult to deal with, but Scott was able to win and get the best possible result. I was very impressed by Scott in court, and SO WAS THE JUDGE! I would definitely recommend Scott if you ever need help with traffic matters. My experience was great, but it could have been better if I did't have to be so proactive with communication.
I got a speeding ticket I don't think I should. My daughter Jane recommended to contact Scott because he helped her in the past - so I did. Scott took care of it and I got no speeding ticket on my record. The only small downsize was I still had to pay $124 and it was considered as traffic violation. Overall I am happy with the result.
I recently went through a traffic violation charge that was going to potentially cost me a lot of money and could have resulted in some jail time. I was floundering around asking friends for referrals but no one had any good leads. Finally i was referred to Scott from another Lawyer i had cold called. I went in for my first meet and greet with Scott and immediately i felt like he was someone that was reliable, trustworthy and really cared about my situation. He offered immediate council about my predicament and had a plan outlined within the first 10 minutes of our conversation. I would recommend Scott to anyone looking for representation. He is a great guy!!
thank you Scott Leist for getting my sons speeding ticket dismissed even tho you only had a couple days from the time I contacted you until his court date.. and thank you for making this experience painless and easy
If I ever need an attorney again you will be the first one I call...
I am criminal defense attorney who was a colleague of Scott's at the prosecutor's office and have worked with him on cases in the past. I hired Scott to represent me on a speeding ticket since I know from other colleagues that he gets excellent results. In my case they really had me dead to rights but Scott somehow managed to get it reduced to a non-moving infraction. I still had to pay a small fine but it did not go on my insurance and I did not get an increase in my rates. I will definitely hire Scott again when I get another speeding ticket (no, that's not a typo, I ride a motorcycle so it's definitely "when").
I hired Mr. Scott F. Leist for my speeding ticket in School zone. He is reasonable, maintained excellent communication with me, and very effective. With his great help, my speeding ticket was dismissed. I am so grateful for him, and will recommend his office to my friends and colleagues.
Mr. Leist recently represented me in a case that at times felt rather hopeless.
The nature of the case coupled with the fact that I did not live in the area made things difficult at times.
Mr. Leist was very attentive to my wishes in the case as well as my overall well being during the proceedings.
I was taken aback at the level of genuine concern exhibitted by him as well as his staff.
I could not be happier with regard to the outcome in the case or Mr. Leist's performance of duty.
I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Leist for legal advise and representation.
Thank you very much Scott.
I never write reviews but felt compelled to recommend Scott Leist.
Professional, assertive and did a great job for me!

November 28, 2014
ELKO, Nev. (AP) - Former Elko County District Attorney Gary Woodbury has been issued a summons for battery in an alleged confrontation with sheriff's deputies providing security last September at the county fair.
Two reserve deputies said in Elko Justice Court documents the Sept. 1 incident occurred when they were asking people to stop congregating on the grandstand walkway. The reserve officers claim Woodbury refused and subsequently pushed one of them.
The Elko Daily Free Press reports that later, when they asked him to leave the fairgrounds, he allegedly swore at one and challenged them to arrest him.
Undersheriff Clair Morris said he's not sure why it took so long to bring formal charges. A court date has not been set.
Woodbury served as the DA for 16 years before retiring in 2011.

Naropa Community Art Studio-International
In February of 2013, Lotus Outreach and the Naropa Community Art Studio (NCAS) established a partnership for the Counseling and Reintegration program in Cambodia. The NCAS team conducted a first week of training in mid 2013, and returned to Cambodia for a second intensive training this summer. Learn more and read testimonials from Art Therapy students.
In January of 2011, a faculty member and 2 art therapy graduate students at the Naropa University began to entertain the idea of taking art therapy to work with social justice organizations abroad. In a matter of a few months these three organized a team of passionate art therapy students, created a sound fundraising plan and joined in partnership with Transitions Global, a non-profit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia that works to support and empower survivors of sex trafficking and Anjali House in Siem Reap that provides education, health care, food and clean drinking water to impoverished children needing support. Naropa Community Art Studio – International was born!
Since then we have been wildly blessed by community support and have currently raised over $40,000 through innovative fundraising and received a $25,000 grant from the Jenzabar Foundation to be distributed over the next three years so we may continue our work with Transitions and Anjali House and broaden our service learning to partner with other organizations in Cambodia as well. We made our first trip to Cambodia in May 2012, with 7 students and 1 faculty and we will be returning in May of 2013 with 11 students and 2 faculty. On this trip we will be extending our service learning to include 4 more organizations! Missionaries of Charity, an orphanage that houses abandoned babies as well babies affected by HIV/Aids, Women's Handicraft and Development Association a cooperative consisting mainly of women and young people from traditional farming families living and working in Cambodia's rural Chamcar Bei village that produces handmade original pieces from local resources as well as using plastics to make recycled products, Chab Dai, a coalition that aims to address human trafficking and exploitation through coalition building, advocacy and research and Raggamuffin, a creative arts center in Phnom Penh committed to the relief of emotional pain and psychological damage in children and adults.
The intention behind this project is for our students to learn about the diverse issues in the Cambodian culture while also offering art therapy as means toward healing. With social justice as a cornerstone of our mission we aim to bring awareness to the many human rights concerns that plague the Cambodian people.
We are so grateful for the outpouring of support we have received from people all over the world in making this a sustainable and mutually beneficial project for all parties involved. It really does take a village...a global one.
NCAS-I expands the boundaries of the Naropa University Community Art Studio from local to global. Rooted in the principle of collaboration and a belief in the innate wisdom, creativity, and interdependence of all, we, the art therapy graduate students and faculty, seek active engagement with social justice organizations around the world. We will use art therapy practices to help relieve suffering and maintain a vision of unity, as guests and learners in the communities we serve.

PHARR - A Pharr resident said he heard a firefight happening on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande south of Granjeno.
Lorenzo Anzaldua was on his family's property Thursday providing interviews for national media when the firefight broke out.
Anzaldua, a former soldier, said heavy weapons were used during the clash.
"It was pretty long, as far (as a) battle is concerned," Anzaldua said.
"I didn't hear small-gun fire returned. I just heard that Ma Deuce (.50 BMG)," he said.
Anzaldua said he is used to seeing illegal immigrants crossing through the Rincon area south of Granjeno. He also has grown accustomed to the sounds of gunfire and grenade explosions coming from the Mexican side of the river. He said Thursday's battle was different.
He said a trained operator was firing the .50-caliber heavy machine gun.
"The shooter was clearly a disciplined shooter. He was shooting five to seven rounds, break, shoot again ... instead of that rock-n-roll like they show in the Hollywood movies. It was not a continuous rate of fire," Anzaldua said.
"Whoever he was aiming at or whoever she was aiming at was, the target was in bad shape, because that guy knew what he was doing," Anzaldua said.
Anzaldua says the clash lasted for about 10 minutes.
Anzaldua said he is familiar with the .50 BMG because he used it during his service in the military.
"You cannot shoot a sustained rate of fire, because you'll heat up the barrel," he said. "If the barrel gets hot, it's going jam."
Anzaldua said he doesn't know if any of the bullets made it to the U.S. side where he and members of the national media were hanging around.
"I never felt I was in danger," he said.
Anzaldua said the sounds of firefights, grenades or the illegal crossings aren't going to stop him from visiting his property.
Anzaldua thinks person behind the machine gun was a Mexican soldier.

The Honest Tude
You might think after the last post that I may have gotten all of the early season kinks worked out but, oddly enough, this week was every bit as crazy. I don't know, maybe the cards are stacked against me this year. I guess I have to have hope that as the snow begins to […]

First Tracks Online Powder Day Report

Snow from the last storm still lingered in the cool shade of our yard as the school children had hurried past […]

The Vacaville City Council voted 4-0, with councilwoman Dilenna Harris absent, to join forces with Visit Vacaville to begin the process of researching and creating a marketing plan for the city.
City Public Information Officer Mark Mazzaferro urged the council to approve the plan, telling the city leaders that a $40,000 investment now could mean more visitors and tax dollars for the city in the future.
"It creates confidence in the city and creates a positive image of the community external," he said, playing for the city a recent ABC television 20-20 report that described the city as "on the edge of urban sophistication" and "cow town."
Teaming up with Visit Vacaville, will allow the process to begin for researching how others view the city, and what the city can do to best market itself to businesses large and small.
Mazzaferro noted that other communities have full time economic development directors. Vacaville does not, and a study would at least provide information for he and others in the city to be able to answer some of the questions that come in via business inquiries each day.
He added that with the economy beginning to turn around, now is the perfect time to do the work.
Councilmen Ron Rowlett and Mitch Mashburn expressed some concern that the $40,000 might be wasted if what follows is recommendations for further programs for which there is no funding.
"It seems like there should be a model to show us a return on the investment," Mashburn said. "A way to know what the potential is."
City Manager Laura Kuhn assured the council that the city would be able to work with a consultant to make sure that it also explores the most cost effective ways to implement any marketing plan.
"This is something new for us. It's a little risky but we have a partner (Visit Vacaville) willing to pay half the cost," she noted. "It we walk away now because we are afraid of what it might bring, we may be stepping over a dollar to pick up a nickle."

DALTON, Ga.—State Rep. John Meadows saved the voice mail telling him officials are acquiring the right of way to build a new interchange on Interstate 75 in Gordon County.
"It was music to my ears; this has been my pet project for so many years," said Meadows, R-Calhoun. "I said 'thank you' and then ''bout time.'"
For more than 20 years — three years as a Calhoun city councilman, 131⁄2 as mayor of Calhoun, six in state office — Meadows has worked to have an interchange built at Union Grove Road between exits 312 and 306.
"It takes a long time to get everyone on the same page when you are dealing with a federal and state and local project," he said. "Apparently, 20 years isn't that unusual, they tell me. Mohawk [carpet manufacturer] built their distribution center on the promise that the interchange would be built — that was in '92 or '93."
The pro-ject has received state and federal funding approval to widen Union Grove Road and put in a diamond interchange. After the right of way is acquired, the project is scheduled to be bid out in September, according to Mohamed Arafa, spokesman for the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Arafa said construction will cost about $19 million, with 80 percent federal funding and a 20 percent state match. The work probably will take two to three years, he said.
Jimmy Phillips, president of the Gordon Chamber of Commerce, said he believes the project will take more time because of the size of the interchange.
The interchange will allow trucks from the Shaw and Mohawk carpet distribution centers in southern Gordon County to get on and off I-75 much more easily and will encourage other industries to locate in the area, Phillips said.
"The community has been waiting for 20 years," he said. "From a business standpoint, we support it and look forward to its completion."
The interchange also will lessen traffic on state Highway 53, the road truck drivers now use to reach the distribution centers and other area businesses, officials said.
"I'm truly grateful we are finally rolling forward — I see the light at the end of the tunnel," Meadows said.

2013 Scion FR-S
The New Poster Child For Cheap Thrills Let me tell you about a man named Larry. Larry works for a company called STI Fleet Services, one of a few companies that are responsible for the cleaning, prepping, maintaining, scheduling, delivering and picking up of the cars we test on a weekly basis, not to mention a whole slew of other duties. STI and its competitors are the silent heroes of this whole automotive journalism biz. Larry is one of the guys responsible for a lot of the grunt work – he's been delivering cars to me for nearly seven years now, and because of that, we've develo... Read More

There is little doubt that the darling of this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas will be the Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S twins. Stillen is one of many aftermarket tuners hoping to capitalize on the popularity of these two cars, and, in addition to developing performance parts like a cold-air intake, cat-back exhaust, big brake kit and sway bars, will reveal its ...
The Scion team is still giddy about the FR-S, and we can't blame them. We were in the mood for 200 horsepower and 2,700 pounds, and the FR-S is ready and willing to tickle our fancy. So it was understandable that Scion didn't have an all-new model to show us this week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Toyota's car-loving brand did provide a taste of the FR-S ...

Badge engineering is the ironic label for when a company replaces the badge or branding of a product with that of another and considers it something new. Domestic automakers like Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have been vilified for their overuse of this practice. Then again, they weren't often badge engineering rear-wheel-drive sports cars (though ...
It's no secret that the Toyota FT-86 will finally make its production-spec debut next week at the Tokyo Motor Show, and ahead of that, the automaker's UK office has released the first official photos and some initial specs. In Europe, the car will officially be called the Toyota GT 86. In Japan, however, the car will simply be called 86. Cutting right to ...
Remember how the Lexus LFA race car debuted long before we ever saw the final production car? Well, it appears that parent company Toyota is planning to pull a similar stunt with its FT-86 Scion FR-S coupe. Here, we see a racier FR-S prototype being prepped for this weekend's German VLN race at the Nürburgring. Even with the revised wheels, front ...
The wait is over... almost. According to a report from Inside Line that jives with what we've been hearing ourselves, Toyota (or Scion, or both) and Subaru are set to use the Tokyo Motor Show to jointly unveil the hotly anticipated rear-wheel-drive sport coupes that they have been working on together since what seems like the beginning of time. Yes, ...
Concurrent with its debut at the New York Auto Show, Toyota has released two videos (one long, one short) of the Scion FR-S Concept. While neither of them show the "friggin' really sweet" Scion in motion, you do get a tantalizing glance at the promised front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe's spectacular Lexus LF-A-aping curves. In true car porn fashion, ...
Another auto show, another version of Toyota and Subaru's joint partnership rear-wheel-drive sports car. We saw Toyota's FT-86 II concept in Geneva earlier this year, along with the chassis for Subaru's version of the car. Now here in New York, Scion has taken the wraps off of its FR-S, a sexy little number that rides on this same platform. FR-S, which ...
The Toyota FT-86 is continuing its long, painful march towards production at the 2011 New York Auto Show. As previously rumored, the rear-wheel drive wonder may sail under the Scion badge if and when it actually shows up on dealer lots, at least that's what Toyota seems to be hinting at with this latest concept car.

Jerry Seinfeld and his web series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, has released its latest installment, showcasing a gorgeous, red 1966 MG MGB Roadster and starring comedian Todd Barry. As Seinfeld prefaces at the start of the clip, Barry is a dry comedian, so don't expect the kind of laugh-out-loud moments of some other episodes of CICGC. That said, there's a lot of subtle humor in here, including the evils of oranges.
The car, meanwhile, is a beauty, and it represents Barry's first experience with a sports car, with Seinfeld explaining the merits of the little red two-seater. By the end, despite Barry being described as both mellow and tense, he does admit the he's having a great time with the little MG.
Have a look below for the latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

Ricky Jay conjures up the old razzle daale in 'Deceptive Practice'
BY MARY HOULIHAN June 6, 2013 4:10PM
Kino Lorber presents a documentary directed by Molly Bernstein and Alan Edelstein. Running time: 88 minutes. No MPAA rating. Opening Friday at the Music Box.
Updated: July 8, 2013 6:08AM
Legendary magician and sleight-of-hand artist Ricky Jay has always held his cards close when it comes to his personal life and the secrets of his profession. So don't expect anything too revealing in the documentary "Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay."
What Jay does reveal in this engrossing and entertaining film are the unique and strange subcultures that fed his love of the scam, the flim-flam, the con. Of course, all of this is perfectly legal when it comes to Jay's chosen profession. But that doesn't mean he's not interested in swindlers, pickpockets and deceivers. He's also a highly regarded author and historian of his field.
It's a small circle of eccentrics whom Jay fondly remembers: Al Flosso (he performed at Jay's bar mitzvah), Slydini, Cardini and Jay's primary mentors Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller. The cast of characters also includes historical figures such as Bill Jones, the king of three-card-monte hustlers, and magician Mattias Buchinger, the celebrated "Little Man of Nuremburg," who was born without arms and legs.
We meet these artists via archival footage. In one great clip, Flosso, "The Coney Island Fakir," performs a different kind of magic when he manages the unheard of feat of getting stone-faced TV host Ed Sullivan to crack up multiple times on air. In another amazing clip, there's Cardini, who according to Jay, "didn't produce cards; they appeared in his hand, and he tried his best to get rid of them."
The Brooklyn-born Jay, whose professional life began at age 7, has been around magic all his life. "It's my earliest memory. Just part of my being," he says. Wonderful archival footage of the young prodigy proves this claim. His beloved grandfather Max Katz was "an amateur magician on a pretty serious level," who introduced him to the great performers of the day.
After his grandfather died, Jay moved to California to learn from Vernon, who "revolutionized sleight of hand," and Miller, whose idea of a fun night was "making you do the same card shuffle 16,000 times."
With years of practice and mentoring, Jay developed an affinity for the cards: "Cards are like living breathing human beings because they give you real pleasure," he says. "You sit in a room with them for 10 to 15 hours per day, and they become your friends."
It all paid off for Jay, who became a regular guest on talk and variety shows. In one clip, a longhaired Jay shares a bill on "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" with Kansas and the Sex Pistols. In another funny clip, this time from a Dinah Shore talk show, he tricks comic Steve Martin out of $51. He would go on to develop a secondary career as a character actor in films by his pal David Mamet, whose comments are insightful, and Paul Thomas Anderson.
Dick Cavett provides a bit of narration, and there are a few talking heads, but most of the time it's Jay conversing on screen. His voice is as mesmerizing as his sleight-of-hand trickery, of which there is plenty on display here. It's done mostly with cards, but one trick described by a British journalist that involves a block of ice will keep you thinking and wondering for days. And that's exactly the way Jay wants it to be.
Mary Houlihan is a locally based free-lance writer.

Welcome to Farley Dwek Solicitors
The Care Funding Specialists
Farley Dwek Solicitors are a specialist provider of legal services in relation to issues arising around care home and nursing home funding in the UK.
If you, or a relative, or a friend, are already in care or about to go into care, you should have your eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding assessed first. This includes where you are paying for care in the home.
If you have "primary health needs" the NHS should pay for 100% of your care home fees.
Gloria Hunniford is supporting our campaign to raise awareness of NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding.
Gloria says "Farley Dwek is the only law firm to offer such a comprehensive service when it comes to helping you and your family through the NHS Continuing Care Funding process – and I'm delighted to support the firm in its campaign to raise awareness".
For more information about Gloria's support for the issue have a look at her interviews with Andrew Farley.
The provision of NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding is a real issue. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Parkinson's recently produced a report "Failing to Care", which was highly critical of the NHS's approach to Funding.
We have summarised the report which you can also download from our website, but we think two of the quotes from the report sum up the current situation:
"The process is intimidating, humiliating, unfriendly, exhausting, degrading, aggressive, frustrating and also it is adversarial. These are terms that I have written down that patients, relatives and even CHC assessors have used themselves."
Parkinson's Disease Nurse Specialist
And by the Health Service Ombudsman's statement:
"Only a minority of people are successful in claiming NHS funding for their continuing care needs … it is clear that most people's care needs are not being met by NHS continuing care funding."
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.
If you are not eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding, then you should take advice about how you can protect your assets in the future.
You should also take advice about the other options available to help you plan for the costs of long term care.
Dealing with relatives in care can be stressful and as well as funding there are other legal issues you will need to deal with. These include making sure that you have the legal authority to deal with relatives affairs by setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney.
Are you eligible for Funding?
People often miss out on Funding in many circumstances, including:
- People who are discharged from hospital straight into a care home.
- People whose eligibility has been assessed and rejected, whose condition subsequently worsened.
- People who received NHS Nursing Care – which pays for the nursing, but not accommodation – who never had an assessment for the benefit that would also have paid for their accommodation.
- More affluent patients who assumed no help would be available. NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding is NOT means-tested so if you qualify for health reasons, you get it.
- People who are being cared for in their own home – NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding does cover the cost of care in the home, not just Care Home costs.
- And of course, the many people who were simply NOT told about the availability of NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding, or were told that they wouldn't be eligible without an assessment taking place.
If you are currently paying for Care or have paid for Care in the past, Farley Dwek can help you in a number of ways.
Advisory Service
Our Advisory Service is designed to help those families whose relatives are currently paying for care.
If we think that you may be eligible for funding, our experienced team of solicitors and nurses will act as your advocates, representing you through the Checklist, Full Assessment and Appeals process if necessary, to secure your funding.
We can do this either on a No Win No Fee * basis or on a fixed fee basis.
If you have already arranged for a Full Assessment to take place – don't worry – we can still help.
We can also help if you would like to Appeal and Assessment.
To find out more about our Advisory Service, speak to one our friendly solicitors now for a FREE INITIAL ASSESSMENT.
Retrospective Care Costs Claims Service
If you have already paid for your nursing care costs, you could be entitled to refund of those costs if you should have qualified for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding, whilst you were in care.
We offer a Retrospective Care Costs Claims service to recover these unfairly paid care home and nursing home fees..
Often we act for families of relatives who have previously paid for their care and can reclaim costs even after a relative has passed away.
To find out whether you might be entitled to recover your care home fees, speak to one of our friendly solicitors about a FREE INITIAL ASSESSMENT.
If we think you might be able to recover your nursing care costs, we will act for you on a NO WIN NO FEE * basis, so it won't cost you a penny if we can't recover your care costs.
Lasting Power of Attorney Service
Whether your parents or relatives qualify for NHS funding or not, if they have to go into care, you will need to set up a Lasting Powers of Attorney in order to be able to deal with their affairs in the event that they lose the capacity to make their own decisions.
If you do not set up Lasting Powers of Attorney, you will have to apply to the Court to grant you the power to deal with their affairs, which can be expensive and time consuming.
Use our low fixed cost Lasting Power of Attorney Service – [Read More]
Free Will writing service *
When dealing with your parent or relatives care funding issues, it's always a good idea to sort out their financial affairs at the same time, by making a Will. Making a Will ensures that your parents or relatives wishes will be carried out after they are gone. It's a simple process and avoids any unnecessary disputes over inheritance which can arise.
We offer a Free writing service.
Free Care Funding Guides
We have produced two FREE GUIDES to help you understand your entitlement to NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding and how you can legally reduce your liability for your future nursing home costs.
Please feel free to download our FREE GUIDES with no obligation.
