The 3.0 acre park features a beautiful sheltered playground with play equipment for both younger and older children. With a small shade shelter for parties that features a BBQ, Kiwanis Park also features a half-court basketball court, open turf area for active play, a sidewalk that loops around the park for walking enthusiasts, a skate feature, and lots of trees with drought tolerant landscaping.
"This is a beautiful park nestled in this growing community," said Amy Shuklian, Mayor, City of Visalia. "Kiwanis Park is an investment in this neighborhood, our community and our youth."
In addition to Kiwanis Park, the 12.0 acre City owned parcel includes the 9.0 acre ponding basin which is for storm water retention and water recharge purposes. As part of the project, the basin was reconfigured to increase storage capacity, and was improved to include a new storm water pump and a lift station.
With improvements such as curb, gutter, sidewalk and lighting, Tulare Avenue (adjacent to the park) also saw construction as Kiwanis Park was built. Kiwanis Park features an oak tree theme that blends nicely with the backdrop of nature.
Adjacent to Packwood Creek, Kiwanis Park was constructed by Construction Development Systems (CDS) of Fresno, for a total of $1,713,400.00. Storm funds and park impact fees were key in funding the development and construction of Kiwanis Park.
Now open as Visalia's newest park, Kiwanis Park is open for the neighborhood and open for fun.

"The greatest guitarist in jazz history." Time
Kenny Burrell is among a handful of guitarists who have forever changed the role of the instrument in jazz. For over fifty years, his distinct style, tone, and phrasing have graced recordings and performances by almost every major performer in jazz history. Combine a consummate sense of swing, lush tones with harmonic creativity and you have the one-and-only jazz guitar artistry of this legendary figure in jazz. From his early years as a sideman with the likes of John Coltrane, Jimmy Smith, James Moody and more, Burrell has always been swinging. Kenny played on his first major recording session in Detroit in 1951, with a Dizzy Gillespie combo that included John Coltrane, Milt Jackson, and Percy Heath and this living legend continues to be a towering giant of jazz. He is a master improviser, prolific composer and distinguished educator.
Kenny Burrell has previously performed at Yoshi's to celebrate his 75th birthday, which was recorded live, and the CD is available in our online gift shop.

Athens, Georgia is located about 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, and is the home of the modern rock band, R.E.M. When visiting, there are many choices of accommodations, though visitors often prefer to stay in the more comfortable confines of a B&B, and there is lots to see and do. If visiting in early December, be sure to check out the Downtown Athens Christmas Parade of Lights. There are many interesting attractions, shops and restaurants to visit while staying at an Athens bed and breakfast or an Athens inn, including the Founders Memorial Garden, a living memorial to the first garden club started in 1891. Athena Jewelers, the art of it all, features unique jewelry in gold, silver and platinum. If all your exploring puts in the mood for Italian food, stop in at Amici Italian Cafe, an italian joint that has a unique toy train that circles the ceiling of the cafe. The 237 Prince Wood Fire Grille bakes pizza in a hand-made wood-burning oven designed in Florence and shouldn't be missed if you're in the neighborhood. Less

New York, New York: Knicks, Nets meet Monday
NEW YORK From Madison Square Garden to the Garden State, the Knicks cast a shadow the Nets could never escape.
The Knicks were considered first rate and the Nets second class, even in years when the better team was in New Jersey. The Nets would watch fans in orange and blue take over their home games, believing all along things would be different when they finally got their shot at the Knicks in Brooklyn.
Well, here it comes.
The city rivals play the makeup of their postponed season opener on Monday, a matchup the Knicks insist is just another game but one that's probably much bigger to the Nets.
"I think obviously being on center stage tomorrow night, all eyes on Brooklyn, truly makes this a very special night for us because it's something that we worked for, for so long," Nets CEO Brett Yormark said Sunday. "Even though it's not opening night, it's a dramatic night. I mean, the Knicks are playing well, the Nets are playing well, Brooklyn's certainly embraced this franchise, and I think tomorrow night is hopefully the start of some really special nights between the Nets and the Knicks.
"Yeah, I'd love to win the game, but it's more than that. It's about making a statement that this franchise has arrived and we are certainly part of the conversation when people are talking about pro basketball in New York."
Yormark sought to host the Knicks for the Barclays Center opener and that's what the NBA scheduled, but the game was postponed when Superstorm Sandy halted most subway travel to Brooklyn. It becomes in some ways more intriguing now with both teams off to strong starts, the Knicks (9-3) leading the Atlantic Division by one game over the Nets (8-4).
First matchup, first place on the line. Sounds big enough for a regular-season game, just don't call it a rivalry. At least, not yet.
"I think that word's been thrown around. I think we hope that it does become that, but you know the Brooklyn Nets are apparently different than the New Jersey Nets and this is a new beginning," Knicks forward Steve Novak said. "So I think to call it a rivalry before it started is a little bit early, but I don't think there's any question it's going to be a good game."
Among the Knicks, only Carmelo Anthony, a Brooklyn native whom the Nets desperately tried to acquire to be the franchise centerpiece for their move, seemed to view the game as anything special. Jason Kidd, who led the Nets to their greatest NBA success back when they owned the Knicks but never the New York area, called it "just another game on the road."
"I've been saying consistently that a rivalry comes through playoffs and hard-fought games. It just doesn't come from a team moving and two good teams in one year. It has to go throughout history," Knicks center Tyson Chandler said. "Honestly, I don't buy too much into the whole situation, the rivalry. I don't consider it a rivalry. I don't think - it hasn't been enough. Honestly, I feel more animosity towards the Heat and the Celtics than I do the Nets."

Hey Friends! Check this out!
Wandering around the Nevada desert last summer, I was given a charge to do something inspiring, audacious and compassionate for my local community in 2013.
How am I turning that call in to action? After 12 years off the road, I'm getting back on the bike in support of the SF AIDS Foundation!
What am I doing?: I'm riding a bike 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles along with over 2000 other cyclists as part of the AIDS/Lifecyle 12 team.
What's my goal?: To raise a minimum of $10,000. As of 3/4/2013, that first goal has been bested! Now we're on our way to $20K! QUACK!
How committed to this am I?: I'm SUPER fortunate to be able to personally contribute the entire minimum fundraising requirement of $3000, which has been graciously matched 100% by the Bank of America Foundation. So we're officially on the backside of the challenge!!
When is it?: June 2-8 2013.
Why: To make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS. I ride for my friends and loved ones who are living with HIV and for those who have lost their lives to this pandemic.
How can you help?: Help me support AIDS/LifeCycle by giving what you can. Your donation is fully tax deductible. We'll keep riding until AIDS and HIV are a thing of the past. I'm happy to be part of such an inspiring event, supported by fantastic people. I hope that you'll share in the excitement, challenge and fun by making a contribution in support of the SF AIDS Foundation.
AIDS/LifeCycle is co-produced by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and is designed to advance their shared interests to end the pandemic and human suffering caused by AIDS.
The goals of AIDS/LifeCycle are to:
- Raise funds to support the HIV/AIDS services of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation;
- Increase awareness and knowledge about the services and programs offered by the benefiting organizations;
- Increase awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS among participants, their donors and the general public;
- Increase AIDS activism and volunteerism among the participant and donor communities, inspiring them to become ambassadors in the fight against AIDS;
- Provide a positive, life-affirming experience for people affected and infected by HIV;
- Contribute to an increased understanding of the disproportionate impact HIV has had on the GLBT communities in SF and LA;
- Encourage an environment of dignity and improved quality of life for those affected by HIV and AIDS.

Newspapers in the United States
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2012)
Newspapers in the United States are an integral part of the culture of the United States, and have been published there since the 18th century. With few exceptions such as USA Today, US newspapers have been published for city or regional markets, though some major papers, such as the New York Times, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal are sold in most U.S. cities. The Times is often referred to as the United States' newspaper of record.[1]
All major metropolitan regions have newspapers, with some of them having multiple papers, though this has declined in modern times. Many smaller cities have had local newspapers, again, this having declined over time.
Many libraries provide microfilm archives of major US papers.
Media conglomerates like Gannett Company, The McClatchy Company, Hearst Corporation and others, publish a large percentage of the nation's papers.
Most general-purpose newspapers are either printed one day a week, or are printed daily. They are in part advertising driven, including classified ads, but also receive income from newsstand sales and subscriptions.
Major cities usually have alternative weeklies (New York City's Village Voice or Los Angeles' L.A. Weekly, for example), which rely entirely on advertising, and are free to the public. A newspaper meeting particular standards of circulation, including having a subscription or mailing list, is designated as a newspaper of record. With this designation, official notices may be published, such as fictitious business name announcements.[2]
The number of daily newspapers in the U.S. has declined over the past half-century, according to Editor & Publisher, the trade journal of American newspapers. In particular, the number of evening newspapers has fallen by almost one-half since 1970, while the number of morning editions and Sunday editions has grown.[3]
For comparison, in 1950, there were 1,772 daily papers (and 1,450 — or about 70 percent — of them were evening papers) while in 2000, there were 1,480 daily papers (and 766—or about half—of them were evening papers.[4]

Portugal's political crisis and the resignation of the prime minister have overshadowed a European Union summit, which was aimed at tackling the euro zone's debt problems.
Jean-Claude Trichet, the European Central Bank president, told reporters as he left the summit on Thursday that it was crucial for Portugal to stick to the fiscal austerity measures' Prime Minister Jose Socrates had proposed.
Socrates quit on Wednesday after parliament rejected new austerity measures that he had hoped would allow the country to avoid the need to seek EU/IMF financial assistance.
Despite stepping down, Socrates came to the two-day summit in the role of care-taker prime minister.
He remains adamantly opposed to requesting aid and has made it clear he intends to hold that line, at least until a new Portuguese government is formed, probably after early elections in about two months' time.
"The government will continue to fight against the possibility of resorting to foreign aid," cabinet minister Pedro Silva Pereira said in Lisbon.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg who chairs the eurozone finance ministers meetings, told France 24 television that if Portugal asked for a bailout it would need about $106bn - roughly half its annual gross domestic product. That is less than the $155bn Greece got but more than Ireland's $95bn.
National concensus urged
It was not clear whether the interim government had the authority to negotiate a bailout, nor whether a broad coalition government may be possible or how soon new elections could be held.
Those uncertainties added to tensions and brought an appeal from European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, a former Portuguese prime minister.
"The important thing is that, as quickly as possible ... there is a national consensus on the need to meet the goals Portugal has set for reducing its deficit and debt levels,'' Barroso told reporters.
Having said for weeks that they would agree a "comprehensive package" to tackle the euro zone debt crisis by the end of March, EU leaders at the summit ended up delaying a final decision on boosting their safety net until mid-year, agreed to increase their financial rescue fund to the full $623bn by June.
Standard & Poor's downgraded Portugal's credit ratings by two notches from A- to BBB on Friday and warned it could cut it again by one notch as early as next week depending on the final shape of the euro zone bailout fund.
S&P, which followed a two-notch cut by Fitch on Thursday, said the collapse of Portugal's government resulted in increased political uncertainty, hurting market confidence and potentially raising refinancing risk.
Lisbon needs to refinance about $6.4bn of debt in April and a similar amount in June, which may prove a trigger for finally making the request for aid. One problem is that any bailout request would have to be approved by parliament and the majority is opposed to asking for help.
With Portugal widely expected to seek assistance, attention could soon shift to Spain, which has gradually won back the confidence of investors in recent months by unveiling reforms of the labour market and pension system, as well as a plan for shoring up its ailing savings banks.

Birthday Stories for JunoMagic 2007: 1. "A date's irony" by Vilwarin
A date's irony
by Vilwarin
March 15th, year 8 4th age
"I think that it is a good thing that we do not celebrate the victory of the Pelennor fields," Aragorn observed.
Arwen looked up from the window seat where she was doing some needle work. "Mm," she replied through closed lips, her needle still pressed between them. Then, "what brings you to that thought now, beloved?"
"Halbarad would have been a hundred years today, which is, I think, quite a bit of irony. He is the only one I knew who managed to die on his birthday, which, when one thinks about it, does not really surprise me. He himself even joked about it while we were still on the ship - how he managed to count the days I know not - that our well-wishes to him would be in vain this year, but at least his dying on that day would make it easier for us not to forget his birthday for even a longer time than the ten years that he no longer dwells among us.
"And I must say that his words proved to be true. I miss him enormously, you surely do realize, and today even more than on any other day of the year. So I thought that it was a good thing not to have a celebration on this day."
"I see," she answered simply, deciding not to interrupt him and to let him speak what was on his mind at the moment.
"Whenever we could, we would celebrate our birthdays together, which are, after all, only fifteen days apart. A beer or a little bag of pipeweed bought for the other would not come amiss. and we found each other with length and width of the wilds of Eriador between us, we would shamelessly use the erand runners and include a letter or package amongst the reports. We called it the "captain's liberty", for one thing we had to have in lack of a kingdom." Aragorn fell silent and shook his head. "But now there are no longer small gifts or letters, and never were there grand feast as would befit a kinsman of the king. Now I can only remember the date of both his birthday and day of his death."
March 1st, year 120 4th age
As I leave the Citadel for the last time and make my way toward Rath Dinen, I cannot help but think that I am the author of irony myself. My thoughts turn towards Halbarad, who I will follow by making my birthday my death-day also. I have chosen this day because I thought it somehow appropriate, not, of course, because Halbarad managed to do the same, but because it seems fitting to leave the world on the same date as I entered it. It makes a full 210 years; and I am contend. I have had many friends during the long years of my life, saw them enter my life and some even died in my arms. And now it is my time and I welcome it, for it is time indeed for a meeting at long last beyond the Halls of Mandos.

Hamilton Huskies
Division I, Section II
Coach: Steve Belles
Last year's record: 13-1, lost to Desert Vista in Division I state championship game
Returning offensive starters: 6, including quarterback AJ Thigpen, who saw limited action behind Blake Kemp in 2011 (143 passing yards, 203 rushing yards) but drew plenty of praise from coach Steve Belles for his summer work and play in the preseason scrimmage against Marcos de Niza.
Returning defensive starters: 5, including defensive back Cole Luke, who will often matchup against the opposition's top receiver and could see some snaps on offense. He's received plenty of Division I college's interest.
Aug. 24 at Mountain Pointe; Aug. 31 vs. Notre Dame (CA) (in Dublin, Ireland); Sept. 7 vs. Notre Dame; Sept. 14 vs. Desert Ridge; Sept. 21 at Mesquite; Sept. 28 vs. Chandler; Oct. 5 vs. Desert Vista; Oct. 12 at Dobson; Oct. 19 vs. Basha; Oct. 26 at Corona del Sol
Key Games
Aug. 24 at Mountain Pointe: Before the big trip to Ireland comes the pesky Pride, a team capable of knocking off the Huskies and Hamilton knows it. Desert Vista game aside, better to get Hamilton early in the season if it's going to happen.
Sept. 14 vs. Desert Ridge: A great matchup anyway, but this one could be a nice display of offensive lines with both teams having ample talent in the trenches. Many would argue Desert Ridge has to win one first before this becomes a true rivalry, but whether true or not, it's going to be a great game.
Oct. 5 vs. Desert Vista: Yes, it's the "rematch." But we'll follow Belles' mantra that this game doesn't "cure" or "remedy" anything; perhaps only if they meet in the playoffs again. Given the two playoff losses in the Belles' era have come against teams the Huskies beat during the regular season (Brophy in 2007, Desert Vista in 2011) he has a point.
A slice of humble pie.
That's what Hamilton was served last November, when Desert Vista was an afterthought to another Huskies state championship, when the Thunder crushed Hamilton physically, 45-19, and, in unheard-of fashion, mentally.
The Huskies have since spoken of a "gift-wrapped" mentality some of them felt having beaten Desert Vista in the regular season, and the hope now is that big piece of pie was digested and turned into fuel.
Everyone knows the Huskies are title contenders again, but the luster of a 53-game winning streak no longer shines, and it's caused others to at least feel marginally better that this season won't be another Hamilton runaway as so many have in the past decade, and that the Huskies aren't invincible.
Hamilton knows this, and the Huskies have significant retention on its roster who lived a miserable end to 2011. The biggest (literally and figuratively) being that nearly the entire offensive line returns, and quarterback AJ Thigpen played a few games in mop-up duty in 2011.
The backfield should be strong again, with power runner Robert Richardson, speedy Kevin Walter (transfer from Desert Ridge two years ago) and Frankie Felix being the in-between type runner.
Belles also feels it's a big season for junior wideouts Izzy Simpson and Elijah Williams.
"A lot of unproven Friday night players for us," Belles said. "It's exciting. It'd be a good year to have that with all those lineman coming in."
The offense should be impressive. The defense, however, could be the best around.
Six starters are back, featuring a secondary with Cole Luke. Qualen Cunningham could have have a huge year at defensive end after showing pieces of his potential as a sophomore who earned regular playing time. The Huskies like their chances of controlling the field with those two, and if opponents try to throw/run away from those two.
If the latter, Caleb Peart is a sophomore defensive end with big promise, and Luke Parrish and Santana Sterling return as starting linebackers.
"Guys on the other side are going to have to come up big because teams will run and pass opposite (Cole and Cunningham)," Belles said.
Belles called it "as fast a group as we've ever had," but there's inexperience in several spots. That hasn't often mattered by season's end for Hamilton, but real adversity made a difference in the championship game last year.
Will that adversity have an opposite effect this year?

One question
Q: Is big data of direct value to IT, as well as to the business?
A: Big operational data has the potential to add significant value to the business. In a world where microseconds of delay translate to lost revenue and customers, it is imperative that operations be able to quickly track down the causes of delay and redress. That means analyzing operational data and making decisions to reroute traffic, tweak policies, or turn on services that will improve performance, resource utilization or security.
Additionally, some big data is equally valuable to both IT and the business. Browser, location, identity, device form factor. ... [This data] must be used by both operational and business data analysts alike if organizations are to fully take advantage of big data.

Top GOP Pollster to GOP: Reverse On Gay Issues | The Daily Beast
Below is a remarkable document. It's a memo circulated by Jan van Lohuizen, a highly respected Republican pollster, (he polled for George W. Bush in 2004), to various leading Republican operatives, candidates and insiders. It's on the fast-shifting poll data on marriage equality and gay rights in general, and how that should affect Republican policy and language. And the pollster's conclusion is clear: if the GOP keeps up its current rhetoric and positions on gays and lesbians, it is in danger of marginalizing itself to irrelevance or worse.
Read the bluntness of this. This is the GOP establishment talking to itself. And the Republican pollster who arguably knows more about the politics of the gay issue than anyone else (how else to explain the Ohio campaign of 2004?) is advising them in no uncertain terms that they need to evolve and fast, if they're not going to damage their brand for an entire generation.

- 3May 17, '12 by heronAt least these guys are honest with themselves, if not with us, that it's all about hate-mongering:
WASHINGTON — A group of high-profile Republican strategists is working with a conservative billionaire on a proposal to mount one of the most provocative campaigns of the "super PAC" era and attack President Obama in ways that Republicans have so far shied away from.
Lamenting that voters "still aren't ready to hate this president," the document concludes that the campaign should "explain how forces out of Obama's control, that shaped the man, have made him completely the wrong choice as president in these days and times."
And now Rickets is claiming that "it's just a suggestion from consultants". Yeah, right!
The 54-page proposal was professionally bound and illustrated with color photographs, indicating that it is far beyond a mere discussion. The strategists have already contacted Larry Elder, a black conservative radio host in Los Angeles, about serving as a spokesman, and the plan calls for a group of black business leaders to endorse the effort. The strategists have also registered a domain name, Character Matters.Last edit by heron on May 17, '12 : Reason: new development

"it depends in part upon the rate of growth for the globe, as well as what we are seeing here in the united states. but we get the rate down quite substantially. and frankly, the key is, we are going to show such job growth that there is going to be competition for employees again and wages will see the end of this decline."

The Vampire Diaries Damon Salvatore is screwed. Like really screwed.
Damon Salvatore is heading down a dark path — and he might destroy his relationship with Elena along the way.
In what was an eye-opening episode of The Vampire Diaries last week, Elena (Nina Dobrev) learned some of the history behind the Augustine vampires, including the fact that her boyfriend Damon (Ian Somerhalder) was locked up and tortured for five years. While his anger upon escaping was certainly reasonable, Damon revealed his revenge was to kill every generation of Whitmores, with the exception of one person per family, which also happened to include Aaron (Shaun Sipos)'s parents and aunt. In the final moments of the hour, Damon found himself alone in the cell while Elena was trapped in the lab alongside Damon's former cellmate, Enzo (Michael Malarkey), who had been presumed dead.
The Vampire Diaries is introducing yet another mystery man to the mix.
As Elena (Nina Dobrev) returns to college, she begins to look further into the death of her former roommate Meagan (Hayley Kiyoko) and why Professor Maxfield (Rick Cosnett) covered it up. She becomes more intrigued when she comes across Aaron (Shaun Sipos), another student who had a history with the unlucky college freshman. While their initial introduction doesn't answer Elena's questions, she eventually realizes the two are connected in ways she hadn't considered.

Acclaimed producers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Taka Ichise have re-teamed with director Takashi Shimizu and screenwriter Stephen Susco to present this heart-stopping sequel to the smash-hit thriller, The Grudge.
Death may be closer than it appears. Voluntarily locked away in the perceived safety of a psychiatric hospital, the lone survivor from "Final Destination" lives in constant fear that Death is coming to claim her. She may be considered crazy, but she is also right. Death is moving toward suburban Route 23, heading south in "Final Destination 2." Meanwhile, en route to a weekend getaway with her friends, Kimberly Corman has a terrible premonition. Shocked into action, Kimberly blocks traffic on a highway on-ramp. Drivers honk and complain, until death tears up the highway in a massive pile-up, with those left on the on-ramp narrowly escaping with their lives. But Kimberly knows it's not over: Death won't be cheated so easily. Now, this random group of strangers, who were all meant to die in the freeway disaster, must join Kimberly in a desperate attempt to stay alive.

Lori Loughlin is best known as Aunt Becky, but she's taking on a more maternal character in Lifetime's A Mother's Rage. The TV-movie (premiering Saturday at 8/7c) follows Rebecca Mayer (Loughlin) and her daughter on a college road trip, which takes a turn for the worse when Mayer's overprotective instincts kick in. Mayer is desperate to keep her daughter safe from a perceived threat, but will she go too far? Loughlin gave us the full report on her dark role — think guns, detectives, missing bodies and car chases — the 90210 series finale, and, of course, her oh-so-infamous television hubby, John Stamos.
Although Britt Robertson agrees that her character Lux's student-teacher relationship on Life Unexpected is "messed up," the actress admits, "he is ultimately a good guy leading Lux in the right direction."

Despite the musical guests galore, Life Unexpected's Lux has one thing on her mind at the K100 festival — her crush, Eric. Unfortunately, getting his attention doesn't go as planned.
"I get dressed up and come to find out that he brought another date," Britt Robertson, who plays Lux, tells TVGuide.com.
While the relationships between characters were messy in Life Unexpected's first season, things are about to get even messier: In Season 2, Cate (Shiri Appleby) and Ryan (Kerr Smith) will be navigating their new marriage, Baze (Kristoffer Polaha) will deal with rejection, and Lux (Britt Robertson) will dive head-first into a May-December relationship.
Are Cate and Baze over for good? Last viewers saw, Cate and Ryan tied the knot, but executive producer Liz Tigelaar says not to count Baze out yet. Tigelaar tells TVGuide.com about the upcoming second season of Life Unexpected, which she says will focus on how each character redefines themselves now that their family dynamics have changed.

Grassroots Action Needed for MBL Legislation in U.S. House (Misc News: July 7, 2011)
The MCUL is asking members to help push for passage of member business lending legislation now making its way through Congress.
In the spring, legislation was introduced to raise the cap on business loans from 12.25 percent to 27.5 percent. Both of Michigan Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow signed on as co-sponsors soon after the bills were introduced in the House and Senate. In addition, five congressmen – Gary Peters, Dale Kildee, John Conyers, Hansen Clarke and Candice Miller - have signed as co-sponsors to the House version of the bill.
CUNA has estimated that MBL could provide up to $13 billion to small businesses in the first year and create more than 140,000 jobs, at a time when the economy continues to recover from the Great Recession and banks have tightened lending standards.
The MCUL has set up a CapWiz action alert on this issue so you can take action on this issue. Once you click on the alert and enter your zip code in the space provided, you will see one letter for your representative depending on their co-sponsorship status. Click here to take action on this important legislation. To access talking points and additional information on MBL legislation, including the MCUL's issue brief, please click here.

The Success of Environmental Regulation
"The Success of Environmental Regulation"
In the 1970s, many scientists felt that the planet was on an unsustainable course in terms of pollution. Which is how we had the blossoming of the environmentalist movement. The creation fo the Earth Day holiday. The growth of "green" parties in Europe's multi-party system and the rising influence of environmental interest groups in the United States. We passed the Clean Air Act and created the Environmental Protection Agency. And as Mark Perry from the conservative American Enterprise Institute points out these environmental policies worked and the air is now far cleaner:
Except because Perry, like most conservatives, is completely unwilling to admit that liberals have ever been right about anything somehow reads this as evidence that environmentalists were wrong. You see, according to Perry we had all these proclamations of ecological doom and yet things have gotten better—silly greens!
In the real world, what happened is that we passed environmental laws, and conservatives argued that they would destroy the economy. And yet here's the economy, undestroyed. And here's the environment, cleaned up.

YESHUA (JESUS) REIGNS first fruits 2014 TEASER!
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. . . . And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" (John 1:1-3, 14). Paul reminds us: "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist" (Colossians 1:16-17).
Would you like to receive God's forgiveness?
We can't earn salvation; we are saved by God's grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. All you have to do is believe you are a sinner, that Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. He knows you and loves you. What matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honesty. We suggest praying the following prayer to accept Christ as your Savior:
"Lord Jesus Christ,
I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life. I ask your forgiveness and now turn from everything which I know is wrong. Thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from my sins. Please come into my life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and be with me forever.
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
Christians Join With Israel's Messianic Jews for Historic Meeting in Gehenna
One Message, a ministry of Promise Keepers, will host the historic Jesus Reigns Israel event this fall to unite Christians and Jewish believers worldwide.
Happening in Gehenna outside Jerusalem on Sept. 17, it's expected to be the largest virtual gathering of Christians in history. In the Old Testament, Gehenna was known as the gates to hell because people burned their children there as sacrifices to a god of fire.
The Jesus Reigns event will be broadcast through simulcast and the Internet in the U.S., Israel and other nations. Christians around the world will unite to witness this historic summit.
One thousand Christian pastors from the United States, Europe, Africa, South America and Asia will join together with Israel's Messianic Jewish community for a historic meeting that will send the message worldwide that Jesus reigns, that Christians must help the poor and that Christians must obey the Word of God and stand as one with the people of Israel to increase faith in God across our planet.
One Message and Promise Keepers will host a news conference Friday to discuss the historic event and how pastors from across America can travel to Israel to change lives. Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn, an internationally known author and preacher, will speak at the news conference, which will be held at 11 a.m. at the Jerusalem Center in Wayne, N.J.

July 3 - As part of its ongoing efforts to wind down and recover its remaining Capital Purchase Program investments under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced its intention to sell several preferred stock and subordinated debt CPP investments. Treasury intends to conduct auctions for all of its preferred stock and subordinated debt positions in the following eight institutions:
These auctions are part of a series of auctions that will include the CPP Securities of the 53 financial institutions included in Treasurys Dec. 18, 2012, announcement and are part of the overall strategy that Treasury outlined for winding down its remaining TARP bank investments in a way that protects taxpayer interests, promotes financial stability, and preserves the strength of our nations community banks. Treasury indicated that it intends to use a combination of repayments, restructurings, and sales to manage and recover those remaining investments.
TARPs bank programs have already earned a significant profit for taxpayers. To date, Treasury has recovered $271 billion from TARPs bank programs through repayments, dividends, interest, and other income compared to the $245 billion initially invested. Approximately $2 billion of the repayments were refinanced under the Small Business Lending Fund. Congress created the SBLF outside of TARP and required Treasury to let CPP institutions repay TARP funds by borrowing under that program. Treasury has remaining outstanding CPP investments in 142 institutions. For more details on Treasurys lifetime cost estimates for TARP programs, please visit Treasurys Monthly 105(a) Report to Congress on TARP here.
Treasury expects to commence the auctions, which will be offered principally to domestic qualified institutional buyers and certain domestic institutional accredited investors, on or about July 8, 2013. The auctions are expected to close at 6:00 pm, New York City time, on July 11, 2013. These offerings will be executed using a modified Dutch auction methodology that establishes a market price by allowing investors to submit bids at specified increments similar to the process Treasury used to auction other CPP investments. The auction procedures will not include the submission of all or none bids.
The CPP Securities that will be sold in the auction have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state securities law. The CPP Securities will be offered only to (1) domestic qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Act, (2) certain domestic institutional accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act that have total assets of not less than $25,000,000 and (3) in certain cases, certain directors and executive officers of the respective issuers of the CPP Securities. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the CPP Securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

|Well Thur,Fri and Saturday I felt good.....then today(sunday) all the blah and numb feelings came back 2 fold...I wish I could get a handle on these but I just cant..and it makes me feel like Im losing my mind and I just want to lay in bed all day or cry,,,I cant take this...does anyone else ever feel this way?...I dont think the xanax is working.......thanks again for listening to me complain.......Valerie
|He could be right, or you could be right, or both. I've been where you are with anxiety and depression. It's pure he** if you're used to being positive and active. The psychology route may be good if you find a good doctor or therapist. The Xanax will likely help your symptoms but won't resolve the problem. It's something you have to decide to go through with or without meds or treatment. I went the no treatment route. It was really hard to do, but helped me by leading me into a phase of self-discovery. I don't recommend it for the faint-hearted, though ;)

How do you make donuts healthier? You bake them instead of deep frying! Honey Pumpkin Baked Donuts are an experiment born from a snow day at home. Mid-November brought us snow in Minnesota. Lots of snow – so no driving, no errands. Baking, playing in the yard, and hot chocolate.
These Honey Pumpkin Baked Donuts are a cinch to make. I used a Norpro 6-Count Nonstick Donut Pan, which forms nicely shaped donuts.
If you don't have a donut pan, you can easily make a donut by squeezing out the dough from a pastry bag, or a Ziploc bag with the end cut off. Form the best circles you can on a baking stone or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
When you squeeze out the dough on a baking sheet, try to form better circles than I did!
Honey Pumpkin Baked Donuts
Makes about 16 donuts
Recipe by Striving Bean
Dry Ingredients
- 2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (0.25 cup) ground flax seeds

- If using honey glaze, you can sprinkle on toppings: sliced almonds, flaked coconut, sprinkles, etc.
- You can roll donuts in powdered sugar too.
- Cream Cheese "Frosting" – mix together cream cheese, finely chopped walnuts (or pecans) and honey.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
- Lightly grease donut pan. If using cookie sheet, use parchment paper. If using baking stone, no greasing necessary
- Mix together dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix
- Carefully scoop dough into pastry bag
- Squeeze out dough into circle shapes
- Bake 12- 16 minutes until donuts spring back when touched
- Cool slightly before removing from pan/cookie sheet
- Optional – Top with Martha Stewart's Honey Glaze and other toppings or cream cheese "frosting"
- Optional – dip/roll in powdered sugar (no honey glaze needed)
Our family weighs in:
- The kids loved the plain donuts best.
- Husband loved the honey glaze.
- My fave was the cream cheese "frosting"
So what do you think of baked donuts?

Executive Summary The second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Capacity area is working toward designing a transportation planning and project development decision-making framework that better integrates transportation decisions with social, economic, and environmental consider- ations. In the context of transportation planning, the practice of visioning has been employed by some agencies to enable decisions that are more integrated with related issues, more coordi- nated with partner agencies, and more closely connected to the values of a community. Vision- ing holds great potential to facilitate collaborative decision-making processes, and the SHRP 2 program has developed practical guidance for practitioners on the role of visioning and links to transportation planning. The cornerstone of current Capacity area research is the web-based product Transportation for Communities--Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP) (transportationfor communities.com). This effort produced an interactive Decision Guide to help practitioners through balanced, inclusive, and collaborative decision-making processes within the four initial phases of transportation planning: long-range transportation planning, corridor planning, pro- gramming, and environmental review and permitting. The objective of this project is to develop a supporting framework for visioning that enables broad, strategic outcomes of visioning to transfer readily to specific, focused planning and proj- ect processes included in the Decision Guide. This research is intended to advance the state of the practice of visioning in support of transportation planning. To that end, this technical report presents a model--the Vision Guide--that is a blueprint for preparing, creating, and implementing a visioning process. This structured, simplified process will better enable practitioners to engage in visioning in support of transportation planning. The Vision Guide also serves as the organizing framework for the research tasks incorporated within this project. A companion resource is the web-based, interactive version of the Vision Guide, which can be found on the project website, Transportation�Visioning for Communities (T-VIZ) (Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 2011). This practical website is designed for practitioners and is the best portal for accessing the information within the Vision Guide. Visioning and Transportation Planning Visions are planning and policy exercises that engage community stakeholders in building long- term, consensus frameworks for future decision making. The purpose of visioning is to create a shared base of understanding and generate policy direction for the future of a community. These 1

2 processes commonly extend beyond conventional transportation planning horizons and are intended to address the confluence of social, economic, educational, environmental, develop- ment, and transportation issues. Visioning processes enable participants to reach a series of consensus decisions on a community's present conditions and future trends, to agree on a desired future, and to develop a clear strategy for how to reach that desired future. The distin- guishing characteristics of this approach are: � Collaborative approaches to interdisciplinary topics; � Proactive, innovative, and interactive outreach techniques; � Focus on community context, livability, and values; � Emphasis on technical scenario development and analysis; and � Expansion of ownership in a process and implementation responsibility. Visions are significant sources of input for transportation planning processes, which now range well beyond topics of access and design to consider community goals and values and a host of interrelated issues. Visioning processes may help guide appropriate transportation decisions to enhance economic competitiveness, environmental stewardship, and community resources, while improving transportation outcomes. Visioning has been used in support of transportation decision making throughout the United States and is increasingly common in a variety of projects, plans, and processes. The process is recommended by federal agencies as a means of proactive and inclusive public involvement and has been embraced in statewide policy by several state departments of transportation for better connection of transportation and land use decisions. Visioning is practiced by many metro- politan planning organizations (MPOs) within ongoing planning efforts to facilitate regional coordination of local decisions. Visioning is increasingly employed by civic organizations and regional councils to establish broad regional policies which, in turn, inform the plans of trans- portation partners. Vision processes tend to produce high-level, policy-oriented outcomes that prove challenging to integrate within focused, project-specific transportation planning and development efforts. For example, the range of outcomes produced through visioning processes may include broad language on a community's values and goals; specific objectives or principles to guide decision making; or detailed maps depicting anticipated land use patterns, critical resource areas, or future transportation corridors. These outcomes can be linked to the transportation planning and project development pro- cesses captured in the Decision Guide, including long-range transportation plans, corridor plan- ning, project programming, environmental review, or permitting processes. For example, vision statements may help shape the goals of a long-range transportation plan; maps of desired future conservation areas may provide input into the range of solutions considered in corridor plan- ning; or decision-making principles for future transportation systems may provide direct input into developing consensus on a draft transportation improvement plan. Applications of vision- ing in support of transportation planning have included all modes, from envisioning integrated air logistics centers, to seaport master plans, to conceptual designs for high-speed rail corridors. Visioning may suit any scale of planning effort, from broad, regional, long-range transportation plans, to urban transit corridor plans, to the design of local streetscapes. Visions may support a single project or provide a lasting foundation for subsequent plans, including the strategic plans of transportation agencies themselves. However, visioning in support of transportation planning has not been uniformly embraced by practitioners and remains an underutilized practice. This research seeks to identify core ele- ments of a visioning process and to establish relationships with transportation planning for use in future efforts.

Lichfield's Emily Scarratt will captain England for the first time ever this weekend and she'll be hoping to lead her country to victory in the third round of the IRB Sevens World Series in Guangzhou, China.
Scarratt, who is only 23 but has 43 caps in XVs and four Sevens caps, has been handed the captaincy armband for the penultimate round of the World Series. England currently sit third in the world series rankings behind New Zealand and Australia after a seventh-place finish in Dubai and winning in Houston.

"I am really excited and honoured to be captaining the side in China," said Scarratt, who takes over as captain from Alice Richardson who led England to victory in Houston. "We are lucky to have so many natural leaders that all contribute in different ways. We are going into the tournament with a lot of confidence, but we know that we have a tough pool and we shall not be taking anything for granted."
England Women Sevens Head Coach Barry Maddocks has made six changes to the team that lifted the Houston World Series round two title in February. Richmond duo Claire Allan and Fran Matthews, Thurrock's Rachael Burford and Worcester's Lydia Thompson are all set to make their World Series debuts. In the squad also are Wasps' Natasha Brennan and Richmond's Abigail Chamberlain, who both featured in the opening round of the World Series in Dubai.
"The last six weeks have been really physically demanding but training as a squad together has really pushed us as individuals and as a team to where we want to be. The Rugby World Cup Sevens is now only three months away and this weekend's tournament is a vital part of our preparation for that tournament."
England will play hosts China, Houston finalists USA and World Series debutants Fiji in the pool stages in Guangzhou.
