More Information
Toronto is the center of Ontario's $85.2 billion food and beverage sector (Toronto Public Health, Food Connections: Toward a Healthy and Sustainable Food System for Toronto, February 2010). Toronto's food and beverage sector is the largest of its kind in Canada and one of the largest in North America. In 2006, 51,590 people were employed at 2000 food and beverage manufacturing establishments in Toronto. (Canadian Business Patterns, 2010).
The success of Toronto's food and beverage industry generates growth in related industries that service the sector. Food and beverage companies rely on local packaging companies, design firms, industry equipment suppliers, biotechnologists, and temperature controlled storage and transportation to sell and market their products.

The specialty foods sub-sector is rapidly growing in importance. The demand for specialty foods reflects Toronto's vibrant multi-ethnic community and its export connections abroad. Roughly 25% of food processing plants within Toronto are making specialty products. The demand for specialty foods has grown 50% faster than the sector average of 5% and is expected to grow 12% annually over the next five years.
The Toronto Food Business Incubator (TFBI) ensures new and innovative products are continually introduced to local consumers, thus supporting entrepreneurs and teaching them the best practices of food production. Support for labour force education and training ensures that Toronto processors are producing safe, secure, and affordable food products with the assistance of government funding.
TFBI is a non-profit organization that supports small entrepreneurs interested in starting a new food company. The TFBI contains a fully licensed industrial kitchen available for rent to small food processing businesses that would otherwise have to make a large capital investment.
The Toronto Food Industry Advisory Committee addresses the needs of Toronto's food industry. The committee includes representatives from the city's food sector and the two other levels of government.
The information gathered from the Labour Force Readiness Plan was used to provide training to the Ontario food processing industry on the emerging issue of labour and workforce shortages. Ontario's Destination Excellence program has developed "best management" tools and resources to increase the capacity of Ontario's food and beverage processing industry to recruit and retain workers.
The Ontario Food Terminal is a unique asset, not just in the Toronto region, but in Canada. It is the largest wholesale fruit, vegetable and flower market in Canada, and one of the five largest produce markets in North America. It plays a central role in the food industry and supports grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, and florists in eastern Canada and in some American states.
Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC) represents member companies that range in size from small independently and privately-owned companies to large, global multinationals. The FCPC strives to provide industry leadership and foster a business environment where members can compete, innovate, and sustain growth in a ethical and responsible manner.
The Pick Ontario Freshness marketing strategy focuses on building awareness and demand for fresh, high-quality foods grown and produced in Ontario. This strategy encourages consumers to purchase Ontario foods in grocery stores, farmers' markets, and restaurants across the province. The strategy includes developing economic opportunities through the Ontario Market Investment Fund (OMIF), a four-year, $12 million provincial initiative to promote consumer awareness of Ontario-produced foods.

concern. We next turn to examine circumstances that seriously threaten and often undermine the parenting process.
The challenges associated with parenting become abundantly evident when we take a look at parents who are struggling. There is an extensive literature on the effects of maternal depression, a relatively common, but potentially very serious, problem for parent-child interactions and child development. Child abuse and neglect represent a more unusual and far more extreme disruption in parenting. The long-standing literature on orphanage-reared children can inform questions about situations that undermine the basic and powerful tendency of infants to form relationships and the young child's capacity to recover from the effects of extremely aberrant care. These examples illustrate circumstances that place young children at risk of highly compromised development. In addition, the behaviors that are seen in young children exposed to these circumstances may be usefully considered as "canaries in the mineshaft"—that is, as early warning signs of serious problems in children who experience less extreme, but nonetheless harmful, early rearing experiences.
Research on the developmental consequences of disrupted parenting is part of a broader literature on environmental influences leading to psychopathology (see Rutter, in press; Rutter et al., in press). This is an exceedingly complex literature that is fraught with challenges regarding, for example, the need to elucidate how genetic factors interact with environmental factors to affect susceptibility to risk and the need to consider how children themselves contribute to parental behavior, including behavior that poses risks to their development. A good example of this latter point is provided by the discussion of the work by Ge and colleagues (1996) in Chapter 2, which links children's inherited antisocial tendencies to more harsh parenting by their adoptive mothers and fathers. Another example of how genetic and environmental influences interact is provided by a study of Scandinavian adoptees (Bohman, 1996). The children who were characterized by neither genetic (indexed by criminality or alcoholism in one or both biological parents) nor environmental risk (indexed by the same in adoptive parents, together with serious adversities in rearing) had a 3 percent rate of adult criminality, the children characterized by only one source of risk had rates of 6-12 percent, and those characterized by both genetic and environmental risk had a 40 percent rate of adult criminality. Environmental risk, in other words, led to negative outcomes primarily in the presence of genetic risk.
Sorting out genetic contributions and the direction of effects in research on parent-child relationships is a daunting task. Longitudinal designs,

Castle of Blood (Danza macabra)
Description: A writer accepts a bet that he cannot spend the night alone in a haunted castle on All Soul's Eve. Once night falls at the castle, several who had been murdered therein return to life, reliving their deaths and seeking to kill the writer for his blood in a vain attempt to stay alive beyond that one night.

The top 10 songs from '80s movies (slide show)
"If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (Pretty in Pink, 1986)
It's a classic prom-DJ rookie mistake: playing the same song over and over again on a seemingly endless loop. But if the formal faux pas must be made, as it is during the climactic scenes of the 1986 John Hughes–written Cinderella story, Pretty in Pink, let the song be the yearning, melancholic, yet totally danceable "If You Leave," by British new-wavers OMD. After all, whether your date is a Blane or a Duckie, there is no better setting than the prom to make this impassioned plea: "Promise me just one more night, then we'll go our separate ways." Score!—Michael Chen
"St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" by John Parr (St. Elmo's Fire, 1985)
Watch the Brat Packers ache beautifully: Rob Lowe, adorned with a sax strap but no instrument, can't put his horndogging ways behind him. Demi Moore is too coked-up to avoid sleeping with married men. And Judd Nelson has to somehow become okay with being Judd Nelson. How dazzling, then, that given these specific psychological issues, a perfect theme song was found in an anthem written months earlier, for wheelchair-bound Canadian athlete Rick Hansen, the original "man in motion." Two-hit wonder John Parr moaned the lyrics, but the schmaltz should be properly credited to composer David Foster, who never kicked a cheesy synth-trumpet sound out of bed for eating crackers.—Joshua Rothkopf
"Take My Breath Away" by Berlin (Top Gun, 1986)
Tom Cruise, having already bonked Rebecca De Mornay on a Chicago El train to the strains of Phil Collins in Risky Business, mounts Kelly McGillis in soft blue light to the erotic keyboard riff of Berlin's Oscar winner. The L.A. band finally earned its name, working with a titan of the German discotheque scene. Giorgio Moroder—the genius behind cinematic classics like Blondie's "Call Me," "The NeverEnding Story," "Chase" and more—slow-jams it down to the point where the synth-bass line twangs like a Japanese shamisen. It's hard to believe this is the man who made "I Feel Love." Much like it's hard to believe Top Gun director Tony Scott shot this jingoist flick after The Hunger, which spun MTV and advertising editing techniques into abstract gothic art. Not only can pioneering artists make sex-glossed pop for the masses, they do it better than the rest.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Purple Rain" by Prince (Purple Rain, 1984)
The album that accompanied His Purpleness's 1984 flick isn't merely a good soundtrack; it's one of the most innovative records of the past few decades—maybe even of all time. Miraculously, the Academy Awards recognized that too—the album earned the Best Original Song Score Oscar in 1985. (To accept the award, Prince wore a sparkly purple cape, and brought Lisa and Wendy with him to the stage. Of course.) The title ballad provides the film's climactic moment, when Prince's character, the Kid, realizes his potential (with the help of Lisa and Wendy, who, in the film's lore, provided the song's inspiration), and becomes a star.—Amy Plitt
"In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel (Say Anything…, 1989)
If there exists a more indelible image of a pining lover trying to get through to a former flame than the sight of John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler, boom box hoisted overhead to reach Ione Skye's Diane Court, then we have yet to see it. Instrumental in transforming Peter Gabriel from art-rock loon to adult-rock sophisticate, "In Your Eyes" got an added touch of swoonworthy oomph from Youssou N'Dour's soaring support vocals.—Steve Smith
"(I've Had) The Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes (Dirty Dancing, 1987)
Before the sex scene that launched a thousand suburban pottery studios, Patrick Swayze made our hearts throb as misunderstood dance instructor Johnny Castle in this young-love story. The duet soundtracks the movie's finale, its lyrics standing in for dialogue while Johnny and Baby say it all with their eyes and their hips. At the first chorus, even the dancing stops for a moment—all action is suspended as Medley and Warnes's voices take center stage. The sweetest moment hits just after the five minute mark, when Swayze actually mouths the words to the song, just like your actual boyfriend would.—Sarah Theeboom
"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins (Footloose, 1984)
The Mount Rushmore of 1980s movie songwriters looks like this: Kenny Loggins, Kenneth Loggins, Ken "The Log" Loggins, Kenny freakin' Loggins. After dumping '70s yacht-folk songwriting partner Jim Messina, this son of the American West Coast trimmed his beard, teased his mullet and went mainstream pop. "I'm Alright" in Caddyshack. "Playing with the Boys," from the homoerotic volleyball scene in Top Gun. And his apex, "Footloose." A jumped-up, plastic rockabilly lick powers this gleefully dumb shuffle, which soundtracked Kevin Bacon's grudge-dancing in an empty barn, a classic cheeseball musical montage of choreographed frustration that would later be applied to detention (The Breakfast Club), skateboarding (Gleaming the Cube) and groin stretching (Bloodsport).—Brent DiCrescenzo
"The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News (Back to the Future, 1985)
Who cares that no one can remember which Back to the Future scene this smash single appears in? (Okay, nerds, it's right at the beginning, when Marty's skateboarding to school, and later, when he kisses Jennifer.) The song's pulverizing power renders all nit-picking irrelevant. Listen to "The Power of Love" now—go on, hit play!—and you'll get that same rush of excitement you felt the first time you saw the DeLorean open its gull-wing doors in the movie. Great Scott!—Sophie Harris
"Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr. (Ghostbusters, 1984)
Who you gonna call? Ghostmashers!!! Right? No? Believe it or not, Ghostmashers was Dan Aykroyd's original vision for Ghostbusters, a movie that changed the way kids would think about ghosts (and marshmallows) forever. Let us rejoice that good sense prevailed, and Ray Parker Jr.'s theme song was given wings to become one of cinema's greatest and silliest anthems. Watch the delightful video, crank up the volume and wonder why anyone bothered making pop music or movies at all after this gigantic cultural peak.—Sophie Harris
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds (The Breakfast Club, 1985)
There are some truly great songs on this list, but none that strike at your emotional jugular quite the way "Don't You (Forget About Me)" does—right from the get-go. Can you honestly say you've never air-guitar-ed along to those opening two chords? Or yelped along to Jim Kerr's outrageous "Hey! Hey! Hey! Heeeey!" chant that immediately follows? Yet part of the song's tremendous power is the way it keeps pulling away just as its excitement peaks: "Will you walk away?" murmurs Kerr as the song faux-fades, before its final climax.
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" was the perfect match for John Hughes's gorgeous teen study The Breakfast Club. We watched the kids transform before our eyes, but we simply didn't know if any of these newfound identities would stick for longer than a weekend. In the context of the movie, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" plays as a lover's forget-me-not—but equally as plea to those newly discovered selves. (The teens' note to the assistant principal reads, "What we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.") And with Judd Nelson's righteous fist pump at the movie's end, how could we ever forget?—Sophie Harris
"If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (Pretty in Pink, 1986)
It's a classic prom-DJ rookie mistake: playing the same song over and over again on a seemingly endless loop. But if the formal faux pas must be made, as it is during the climactic scenes of the 1986 John Hughes–written Cinderella story, Pretty in Pink, let the song be the yearning, melancholic, yet totally danceable "If You Leave," by British new-wavers OMD. After all, whether your date is a Blane or a Duckie, there is no better setting than the prom to make this impassioned plea: "Promise me just one more night, then we'll go our separate ways." Score!—Michael Chen

Maintains authentic J-Bass tone and character but with extended frequency response and articulation.
The Joe Barden J-Style 5 String Bass Pickup Set offers the same great Joe Barden tone, power, and response for the bass guitar as their ground breaking double-blade guitar pickups have done for 6 string guitars for the last 25 years. This set will take your bass sound to a whole new level.
The J-Style pickups were designed to maintain authentic J-Bass tone and character but with extended frequency response and articulation that characterizes all Joe Barden pickups. And, like all other Joe Barden pickups, the J-Style pickups exhibit quiet performance for live performance or recording.
Now, bass players are free to tailor their sound more precisely than was possible with stock pickups, and can select one or both pickups without fear of noise or hum often induced by traditional single coil bass pickups.
Neck and bridge position pickups differ in size to fit into the cavities of traditional J-Bass and similarly styled guitars without modification to the instrument.
J-Style pickups are available for both 4 and 5 string J-Bass styled bass guitars.
Customize your J-Bass to sound the way you've always wanted it to. Order today.

Comments about Joe Barden Pickups J-Style 5 String Bass Pickup Set:
I really wasn't expecting much, I mean, after all, aren't most pickups sort of the same? Some wire wrapped around some iron cores? I have to say, I was TOTALLY blown away by the openess, punch, clarity and quietness of these pickups compared to the stock J Bass PUs. I never expected that, I bought these on the recomendation of a professional player / friend, and I thought he was a bit over the top about them, but I figured what the heck, I'll try them. I absolutely was shocked, I honestly didn't know there could be that much difference between pickups (especially considering that the stock Fender J bass pickups are generallly considered to be preety darn good).So, if you like things very clear, punchy, quiet, clear (did I already say clear???), these are for you. Of course, this is a personal preference, but if you are looking for that muddy EB3 sound, these are definately not for you...

admitted diverting, freaking out
- 0Mar 1, '13 by delivernI am an L&D nurse in CO. I had my review and was told someone suspected me of diverting narcotics. I admitted that I did once last year after I had surgery. My manager told me that she would write a final warning, one more and i'm fired and reported to the BON. she said that she still need to talk to admin (CNO), HR, and pharmacy. She asked if I would do a random drug screen, and I said yes, anytime!! I didn't get a call to do one yesterday. I can pass one anytime. I haven't really slept all night. In a way I'm mad I told the truth. I don't want to lose my license. It was a stupid thing to do.
Maybe I'm jumping to the worse case scenario, but I'm already wondering if I should talk to an attorney, self report to PAS, or where I can possibly work in my small town if I am suspended. I am trying to stay calm and wait and see, but this really sucks. I'm not sure if the waiting is worse than knowing....
thanks for listening
- 0Mar 1, '13 by HunnieBadgerIf they don't report you to the BON, you are extremely blessed and take it as a huge lesson learned! I hope for you this is the case, self reporting and being caught in this web is the worst thing I have faced in life yet to date. I actually meet with my board monitor this morning for the first time. I pray she's not too hard on me and that this time in my life will pass quickly and smoothly! Best of luck to you!!
- 0Mar 1, '13 by delivernthanks. I've been a nurse for 14 years. I've known for a long time it kind of defines who I am, at least to me. This is scary if I do get a final warning, and not reported to the BON, I'll feel like the luckiest girl in the world with the biggest slap in the face wake up call ever. Until I find out I don't want to tell anyone, and I hate not having anyone to talk to. I've been through a lot in life and I'm sure I'll get through this too!
- 1Mar 1, '13 by HunnieBadgerWell you do have us here, and although we don't "know" you we do know the problems you're up against! I completely understand not being able to talk to anyone, I chose to keep my issues private. The only one who knows the truth is my husband and my ex-employer.
- 0Mar 1, '13 by ClearBlueOctoberSkyI have no advice to give for you, but I do wish you positive thoughts. I would suggest that you make your location more general, to give you some privacy.
- 0Mar 3, '13 by UmberleeI admitted diverting to my employer. I wasn't even under suspicion, I just thought I was and so I spilled every detail thinking that being honest was the best route to take. Boy, was I wrong!
I don't regret being put on a contract (I'm in Colorado too, we may even be in the same area from the sound of things) and while I hated PAS at first, I have grown to grudgingly respect the good that has come about in my life because of it. I do regret getting myself fired and having to start all over in my career having sunk 12 years into a place from whence I now have no references and am just waiting to fall off the front page of my résumé and work history.
If I could go back, I would still have told my employer I had a problem but I would never have admitted diverting. You're in a tough spot because now if they come to you wanting you to sign something admitting your actions, you can guarantee it will be used against you at some point but if you refuse, they could fire you.
As far as the BON goes, their task lies in protecting the safety of the public. Diversion is an extremely slippery slope, and if you have admitted to doing it, you are absolutely at high risk to do it again in the future. As tough as it is being on a contract, I don't find Colorado to be nearly as punitive as it sounds other states are, though dealing with being "blacklisted" as a PAS client and having to navigate the program with extremely flaky case-managers and directors gets really old, really fast.
I'm not sure what I would do if I were in your shoes. I would be most afraid of being let go and then being reported to the board anyway. I'd be almost certain that you'll be reported. Maybe when you finally get called in to discuss your diversion, tell them that you will do whatever it takes to prove that you are and will continue to be safe to practice and that you are willing to self-report for PAS. Whatever you can do to keep your job, because while being on PAS can sure suck, nothing is worse than losing your job history and reputation.

The 10-county Lynchburg District includes Amherst, Appomattox, Buckingham, Campbell, Charlotte, Cumberland, Halifax, Nelson, Pittsylvania and Prince Edward counties.
VDOT crews are out across the district addressing problem situations, applying chemicals and abrasives as appropriate and pushing snow in some locations. So far, snow accumulation has been light; however, motorists need to be alert to spotty icing and patchy snow.
Should travel become necessary during the overnight and early morning hours caution is urged. VDOT offers the following tips for driving in winter weather:
• Before you begin your trip, know the current road conditions and weather forecasts.
Call 511 or visit www.511Virginia.org.
• Make sure your windows, mirrors and lights are clear of ice and snow.
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Allow extra time to travel to your destination.
• Be aware of potentially icy areas such as bridges, overpasses and shady spots. Also, if there is heavy snow, ice or high winds, be alert to potential driving hazards including downed branches, trees and electric lines.
• Reduce speed as appropriate and keep a safe distance of at least five seconds behind other vehicles and snowplows.
• Do not pass a snowplow unless it is absolutely necessary. Remember, the plow is clearing a path for you.
• Practice common sense. Remember that your car cannot start, stop, or turn as quickly and surely on snow or ice as it does on dry pavement, so think and drive accordingly.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

Talking Points (Euthanasia)
Part of the Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide Series
Series About:
- Social acceptance of physician-assisted suicide sends the message that some lives, especially those of elderly, disabled and dependent citizens, are not worth living.
- The practice of physician-assisted suicide creates a duty to die. Death may become a reasonable substitute to treatment and care as medical costs continue to rise.
- Better medical alternatives exist to physician-assisted suicide. Today's pain management techniques can provide relief for up to 95 percent of patients, thus offering true death with dignity.
- Physician-assisted suicide often ignores depression, a legitimate cry for help.
- Physician-assisted suicide gives too much power to doctors, threatening patient autonomy by allowing physicians to decide whether a patient lives or dies.
- The practice of physician-assisted suicide threatens to destroy the delicate trust relationship between doctor and patient – a relationship based on the patient's belief that his or her physician will pursue the goal of protecting life.
- Physician-assisted suicide opens the door to euthanasia.

Foreordination is the same as predestination which means that God ordains what will happen in history and in salvation. It means to appoint beforehand. The word 'foreordained" is used in the KJV in 1 Pet 1:20. See the following verses regarding predestination
- Rom. 8:29, "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren."
- Eph. 1:11, "also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will."

Mining, water and rural livelihoods on the Bolivian Altiplano: Exploring contrasting visions of development and justice.
November 21, 2011 - Uris Hall, Room 153
Mon, 11/21/2011 - 1:15pm - 3:00pm
Tom Perreault is Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Syracuse University. His research examines the relationship between society and the natural environment in Latin America. More specifically, his work focuses on three interrelated themes: (1) resource use and environmental governance; (2) the cultural politics of indigenous and campesino environmental struggles; and (3) rural development and questions of livelihood. With the support of a Fulbright-Hays fellowship, he spent the first half of 2011 in Bolivia, conducting research on the social and environmental implications of hard rock mining for indigenous-campesino communities on the Bolivian Altiplano. In particular, this project focuses on water - water rights, water use, water pollution - as it mediates the relationship between rural peoples and the mining economy. His past research has examined hydrocarbons extraction and competing visions of the nation in Bolivia, water politics and the campesino irrigators' movement in Bolivia, and indigenous organizing and identity politics in the Ecuadorian Amazon. He is the author of 'Movilización política e identidad indígena en el Alto Napo, Quito' (Quito, Abya Yala, 2002), as well as some 30 journals articles and book chapters, in both English and Spanish. From 2006-2009 he served as Director of Syracuse University's Program on Latin America and the Caribbean.

(Warrensburg) Nice weather finally swept over the area Saturday afternoon as Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) hosted its second event of the season on Pepsi Night at the Races. A total of 95 cars filled the pits competing in 21 races in five divisions.
B-Modifieds kicked off the night with four heat races among the 29 cars on hand to set the stage for the main event. Heat victories went to Tyler Lewis, Cody Brill, Eddie Bray Jr., and Dakota Foster. After the heat races completed, cars that were unable to transfer to the main event through the qualifying heats made their way back to the track for the B-Main. Lucas Isaacs claimed the win and secured himself a spot in the main.
ULMA Late Models returned to CMS for their first appearance of six this season. A total of 18 cars competed in three heat races prior to the main event with 2008 ULMA Champion Jason Bodenhamer, long-distance traveler Dwight Niehoff, and two-time late model track champion Jon Binning claiming the victories.
Street Stocks competed in a pair of heat races among 11 drivers as the third car class in the night's program. Last week's main event winner from Warrensburg, Brett Wood, claimed the win in heat one with Marc Carter also of Warrensburg going to victory in heat two.
A stout field of 34 USRA Modifieds made their way to CMS Saturday evening in one of the largest field of cars to date this season. Chanute, Kansas' John Allen ripped off a win in the opening heat with Jim Moody powering his way to the front in heat two. Gunner Martin dropped in on CMS this week and claimed the win in heat three with USMTS regular Dan Hilsabeck capping off a win in heat race four. A pair of b-mains came next on the docket with Justin Johnson and Terry Schultz claiming the wins.
For the newly added pure stocks, three cars came to play running in a lone main event. Former street stock competitor Bobby Raybourn went green to checkers in the main event, challenged only on the last lap by Gary Akers who gave it all he could but settled for second ahead of Leroy Morrison, who finished third.
Dakota Foster lined up on the front row alongside Tyler Lewis of Columbia for the start of the B-Modified 15-lap feature event. Several cautions flew for single-car spins as Foster led Ethan Isaacs, Lewis, Eddie Bray and Jacob Ebert. A great battle began to take shape once at the front of the field as Isaacs pressured Foster repeatedly for the lead, Bray held court in third with Lewis and Dean Wille holding down fourth and fifth.
During the mid-stages of the race, Foster led Ethan Isaacs, Bray, Lewis, Wille, Lucas Isaacs, and Jacob Ebert during a lap-eight restart. Tyler Lewis rebounded to third on a later restart, putting the pressure on Foster up front. The fifth caution flew for another single-car spin in turn four once again bringing the race to caution.
Ethan Isaacs' night came to a close shortly after the latest restart right as Tyler Lewis took over the second position ahead of Bray, Wille, Lucas Isaacs and Jacob Ebert inside the top six.
Lewis experienced problems on the next restart during a wild series of events with the 21 car of Dalton McKenney slamming into the turn four uke tires. His crew was able to change a left-rear tire and he rejoined the field. Troy Carlyle also experienced problems and went to the tail of the field. Lewis' night was over with left-front damage and once again the field was bunched up for a restart.
Foster held the point for the next restart over Dean Wille, who made his way to second, Ebert third, Bray fourth, and Lucas Isaacs fifth. Another wild restart saw Jacob Ebert battle side-by-side for the win with Foster as Wille and Bray held third and fourth.
Jacob Ebert made the long wait pay off late in the race as he took advantage of a few bobbles by then leader Dakota Foster to capture the B-Modified main event. Bray ran strong in third with Wille fourth, Lucas Isaacs fifth, and Nic Bennett sixth.
Jason Bodenhamer won the last late model race at CMS in the fall of 2011 and after just a couple year's delay, picked right back up where he left off leading all 20 laps of the ULMA late model main event, which went green to checkered. Dwight Niehoff ran a sold second the entire race distance but was unable to mount a serious charge on Bodenhamer who mastered the lapped traffic to pull away.
Behind Bodenhamer and Niehoff at the line were Jon Binning, Lane Ehlert, Dustin Walker, and Ethan Young. ULMA Late Models will return to CMS during Memorial Day weekend for two nights of action on May 24th and 25th.
The Street Stock main event looked like it was going to go green to checkers as well until a lap 13 spin brought out a late-race caution. Marc Carter started on the front row and held point for most of the race with last week's feature winner Brett 'Woody' Wood running strong in second. Troy Turley, Dean Wille, Jay Lyle and Bryce McMillin found themselves running near the front late in the race.
Although Carter and Wood distanced themselves from the rest of the competitors the rest of the field behind them fought hard until the last lap to secure a spot near the front of the field. Troy Turley came away third with veteran Jay Lyle fourth, Bryce McMillin fifth, and Larry Ferris sixth.
The evening concluded with a barn-burner finish during the USRA Modified Main Event. By virtue of the heat wins and total passing points earned, John Allen and Jim Moody started on the front row as the field set off for the 25-lap feature event.
Early on Allen received some pressure from a strong-running Steven Bowers Jr. and Moody with Hilsabeck and Dotson inside the top five. Several competitors received flat tires at various stages of the race including Wille, Schultz, and Danny Crane, but all drivers were able to return to the race in time for the finish after fixing the flats in the new infield hot lane.
Aaron Marrant was an early retiree from the race as was Rick Beebe. By lap 12, Allen led the race over a hard-charging Dotson in second with Bowers third, Moody fourth and Hilsabeck fifth. A classic battle then ensued as Hilsabeck and Moody swapped positions through the mid-point of the race.
Gunner Martin, who ran strong early, exited the race on lap 21 as the top five positions stayed the same. Very late in the race on a couple of different restarts, it looked as though Dotson was going to take the win; however, Allen was just ultimately a quick better, especially on entry and exit of turn two and went on to claim the win.
Following Allen to the line were Dotson in second, Steven Bowers Jr. third, Moody fourth, Hilsabeck fifth and Basehor, Kansas driver Tim Karrick in sixth

Book to detail lesser-known history
By DOUG CARDER, Herald Senior Writer | 4/9/2014
The title is simple.
The project was not.
Deb Barker on Sunday finished putting together a 127-page book filled with nearly 200 photographs that document Ottawa's 150-year history, she said. The six-week project required the Franklin County Historical Society director to spend hours assembling the book, she said, sometimes beginning the day at 4 a.m. and wrapping up at about 10 p.m.
With the first major publishing deadline behind her, Barker looked relaxed as she chatted about how the book came together Wednesday morning at the Franklin County Records and Research Center, 1124 W. Seventh St. Terrace, Ottawa. The book of photographs, part of Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series, is titled: "Ottawa."
"I asked [Arcadia] if they wanted the title to at least say Ottawa, Kansas, since there are several Ottawas," Barker said, "but they liked the title 'Ottawa.'
"If there's ever a book about Ottawa, Ohio, then I guess they will deal with that problem later," she said, laughing.
The book is due out in mid-October, Barker said. Though it will not come out in time for the community's sesquicentennial celebration in September, she said, it will be part of the community's ongoing celebration this year to mark the 150th anniversary of Ottawa's founding.
Assembling the book required Barker to sift through photo, biography and subject files to craft a brief caption for every photograph, she said.
"They have very strict guidelines, and you had to describe each photograph in 70 words or less," Barker said. "Trying to describe [Ottawa founding father] Isaac Kalloch's life in 70 words is not easy."
Barker said one of her goals with the book was to include photographs from the different time periods that Ottawa residents might not have seen before.
"There are only so many photos from the 1870s, and some photos are very identifiable [with Ottawa's history], but I also wanted to include photographs that tell the same story [about the community's history] that people may not have seen before."
One of the photographs in the 10-chapter book is a 1911 picture of the Boy Scouts of America headquarters table at a Chautauqua event in Ottawa's Forest Park. Named for the lake community in New York where it originated, Chautauqua was an adult education movement in the United States that was especially popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
"Boy Scouts came to America in 1910, so they were new to Ottawa," Barker said.
Other photographs range from elaborate parades to floods to a pair of Ottawa tribal chiefs dedicating the Buffalo Woman statue on the Franklin County Courthouse grounds.
One photograph of the 1951 flood in downtown Ottawa, taken by renowned Ottawa photographer J.B. Muecke, was not captured without difficulty, Barker said.
"He was standing in deep water and he about slipped and fell over because he stepped on a catfish," she said.
With thousands of photographs to choose from, it wasn't difficult to find selections for the first nine chapters, Barker said, but the last chapter on the modern era was a different story.
"We didn't have prints, because everything now is digital," Barker said. "That made it a lot tougher."
Some of the modern leaders in the book include Benjamin Franklin Park, a former mayor and city commissioner who negotiated with railway officials in the early 1960s to establish a museum in a nearly century-old railroad depot, Barker said. As a result, the Old Depot Museum, 135 W. Tecumseh St., Ottawa, is housed in a depot that was constructed in 1888 and donated to the Franklin County Historical Society in 1962 when the Santa Fe Railroad moved into a new depot.
Park also was instrumental in several preservation projects in the 1960s and 1970s, she said.
Others include Ottawa coach Orlis Cox, philanthropist Marguerite Gibson and Lamar Phillips, a former Herald reporter and flood control advocate who lobbied for the city's levee system and other controls in Washington, D.C.
Another difficult aspect of organizing the book, Barker said, was that she was not able to look at a page with the photograph on it while she was writing each photo caption.
"We get the [page] galleys back in 15 weeks, and I'm eager to see what the photos and captions look like together," Barker said. "That's my last chance to fix any errors [before it is published]."
Barker, who plans to put together picture books on the Chautauqua movement in Ottawa and the World War II home front, was pleased with the quality and uniqueness of the photographs she found to tell the community's history in the coming "Ottawa" book, she said.
"I hope people will enjoy it."

Stefanie Franciotti bka Sleep ∞ Over has released two new tracks, "Rooftop" and "I Want To Be Alone." The first is a dreamy, but so good at enveloping itself in its own wispy darkness that it teeters between calming and totally terrifying. "I Want To Be Alone" is Fanciotti's rendition of Vashti Bunyan's song — a perfect fit, as she is clearly a graduate of Bunyan's Music For Wood Nymphs College. Check them out below.
Rooftop 7″ is out tomorrow on Hippos In Tanks.

Middletown Springs school budget revote set for TuesdayBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | April 29,2013MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS - Residents will return to the polls Tuesday to vote on proposed school budget.
Residents can vote from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Middletown Springs Firehouse on a proposed budget of $1,994,899 for fiscal year 2013-14. The budget is an increase of $58,276, or 3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,936,623.
On Town Meeting Day and by a four-vote margin, voters defeated a proposed budget of $1,998,890, which was an increase of $62,267, or 3.2-percent.
Despite the increase in the budget, the tax rate is projected to drop 2 cents, from $1.64 to $1.62, due in part to the town's common level of appraisal rising from 91.2 percent to 95.85 percent.

"I seek the means to fight injustice; to turn fear against those who prey on the fearful."There is a common misconception that the use of fear and terror against one's enemies is a cowardly, evil method of fighting. Not to these characters. To them, targeting a foe's psyche is every bit as valid a tactic as more direct methods. To do this, they prey upon a villain's fears, attempting to break them, thus making them easy prey. Often times, said character is either an Anti-Hero or someone who's a more clear cut hero but isn't particularly nice, who uses these tactics as a way of turning fear on those who prey upon the fearful. Can be a very effective weapon for those with a no-kill code. Alternatively, a hero could just as easily exploit their frightening reputation as a means of scaring someone into submission. The terror hero (except The Dreaded) typically tries to avoid direct combat unless no other options are present. In order to count (except The Dreaded), the use of fear and morale breaking must be a standard tactic rather than something used once in a while. There are five types of this kind of hero.

Reinventing the User Experience in Transportation
Yet in many other realms of personal consumption, new technologies and devices continue to please and delight consumers. Through clever design and a keen focus on the user experience, personal communication devices have become virtual hubs for social interaction, instant connectivity and context-specific information, and common products (e.g., coffee) have become the center of community oases, succeeding at providing, paradoxically, personalization to a mass audience. Might there not be something to be learned for transportation system providers from the approach followed by leading companies that have succeeded in these other realms of the everyday user experience?
Drawing upon the lessons of highly successful consumer products and service concepts, reinventing the user experience might call for rethinking the very definition of the output of a transportation system, or of the nature of the service provided by a transportation company. This means rethinking the total experience—from origin to final destination, recognizing that travel is part of a more elaborate activity pattern, and exploiting the contribution of personal communication and information devices and technologies in that process. This kind of thinking calls for a multidisciplinary perspective that blends the creative contributions of product/service designers, the insight of behavior researchers, along with the skills of planners and transport system specialists.
The next wave of intelligent transportation system development holds the promise of customization and personalization— delivering information and services that better meet individual conditions and user preferences. NUTC researchers, for example, are devising novel operating concepts and advanced methodologies that provide the intelligence required for flexible real-time operation of transport systems, and can deliver personalized information to travelers. NUTC researchers have also teamed up with the designers at the internationally renowned Bruce Mau Design firm, based in Chicago and Toronto, and the Massive Change Network (led by Bruce Mau and Bisi Williams) in addressing the challenge of reinventing the public transit user's experience. This effort has gathered momentum in the past year, eliciting media recognition and coverage, and has engaged several leading industry providers in productive discussions. It has also captured our students' imagination, resulting in smartphone apps and movie clips (http://www.transportation.northwestern.edu/news_events/2011/Bustamante_TrailBlaze.html, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN0wDDiaTiY).
On the freight side, quality-of-service issues are paramount to system users and logistics managers. Tracking technologies have made considerable inroads in certain segments of the industry, enabling visibility through all stages of the transport process and beyond. Companies that take a complete logistics perspective are able to provide market responsiveness while controlling cost. Electronic platforms that dynamically match loads with carrier assets are transforming some sectors of the industry. NUTC researchers are partnering with selected BAC member companies in pushing the frontier in freight service design and reliability through advanced methodologies that exploit real-time tracking and transaction records to better design and control all aspects of the transportation and logistics process.
Leading this effort at NUTC is Dr. Hani Mahmassani, with involvement of researchers at the Segal Design Institute at Northwestern. Other researchers include Drs. Marco Nie, Joseph Schofer, Noshir Contractor, and Wei Chen. Key BAC industry partners include Teradata and Echo Global Logistics.

My name is Annieta. I'm an amateur photographer, born 1959 in the Netherlands.
Photography is my hobby and my passion. Through my images I've discovered a whole new world of hidden beauty. It's a chance to go into another dimension, meet other people, make new friends, get the global feeling and improve my skills. It's also a way to express myself and to relax at the same time. Most of my images are taken close to home. The nature of beauty is all around, no need to go far…..it's just around the corner.
The behaviour of human beings have my special interest. That's why I love street photography.

SAN DIEGO, June 15, 2013 – As someone who admires the discipline and work ethic it takes to be a world champion in boxing, nothing is more disappointing than when a fighter fails to make weight. It's even worse when there is a title on the line. When it's your first title defense, that's the trifecta of disappointment.
When WBO featherweight champion Mikey Garcia of Oxnard, California failed to make the 126-pound featherweight limit for his bout Saturday with Juan Manuel Lopez of Puerto Rico by two pounds, the wind went right out of the sails for this fight at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, to be televised on HBO's "Boxing After Dark."
SEE RELATED: Boxing news: Mikey Garcia, Terence Crawford get TKO wins on HBO
Garcia (31-0, 26 KOs) said his body simply shut down and he was too dehydrated to try to make the weight. As often happens in these situations, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum negotiated with the challenger Lopez new terms to continue the fight anyway. Garcia paid out a six-figure settlement (reportedly $100,000) to Lopez to allow the fight to continue.
Lopez (33-2, 30 KOs) can win the title if he wins. If Garcia wins, the title remains vacant. He cannot win back the title. Lopez weighed in at 125 and one quarter pounds.
Fighters in the smaller weight classes generally move up as they age. Garcia is 25, and his days of fighting at featherweight are apparently over. But it's a bad practice for a fighter to hang onto a lower weight class longer than he should. It sets up the sort of situation we have with this bout.
It isn't fair to the challenger, who almost always ends up capitulating and taking a payout to fight anyway because he needs the paycheck and the visibility of the fight. The champion risks little other than a belt; many of them have become so meaningless it's better to get the win than keep the belt.
SEE RELATED: Mayweather, Canelo schedule public media tour; free to boxing fans
Lopez hopes to get his career back on track after suffering two losses to Orlando Salido. Garcia's last victory came in January against the same fighter, Salido, though under less than ideal circumstances. Garcia put Salido on the canvas three times in the first three rounds. Garcia was calm, focused and determined, landing crisp hooks and upper cuts and they landed with power and impact.
Still, Salido continued to hang in despite the punishment. Near the end of round eight, Salido leaned in and slammed Garcia with a wicked head butt, hurting Garcia. As Garcia went to his corner, his nose appeared to be broken. Garcia came out for round nine, but referee Benjy Estevez asked the ringside physician to look at the nose. The doctor wanted the fight to stop, but Estevez had some discussion with the Garcia corner. After trainer Robert Garcia confirmed it had been ruled an accidental head butt and the outcome would go to the scorecards, he agreed the fight should be stopped.
Garcia was winning on points by a big margin (79-70 on one scorecard and 79-69 on the others), so this wasn't a gamble. Garcia got the unanimous decision. He admitted being disappointed the way it ended, but said he was having trouble breathing. Some criticism was expressed about Garcia's team being too willing to stop the fight, instead of letting Garcia continue to try and finish off Salido. Ridiculous. It was a good stoppage, if disappointing.
Lopez is a southpaw, an aggressive fighter who is no pushover for Garcia. He'll put up a challenge but Garcia should be able to choose his opportunity and take Lopez out.
In the opening bout, you don't see all that many great boxers from Nebraska, but Terence Crawford wants to change that. He's a showy undefeated lightweight with a 20-0 record and 15 knockouts. He faces Alejandro Sanabria (34-1-1, 25 KOs) of Mexico. Crawford impressed a lot of people when he agreed to a junior welterweight fight on short notice against Breidis Prescott and won a unanimous decision with ease on the undercard of Rios-Alvarado II in March.
HBO Boxing After Dark: Garcia vs. Lopez and Crawford vs. Sanabria airs live at 10:45 p.m. ET on HBO.

Kevin Woods called his dad, Noah, on Saturday, Oct. 18, to see if he wanted to hunt that afternoon at the farm they've come to know well during the past decade.
"He was excited to go, so I told him to get ready and I would be over to pick him up pretty soon," said Kevin.
Ohio's 2008 archery season was well underway. The 500-acre Warren County tract was littered with big buck sign. Not only that, but Kevin's trail camera also proved there were some very nice bucks traveling through the farm, which is divided equally between timber and crop fields.
Aside from Kevin's family, only two other hunters had permission to hunt there, and both were gun hunters, so the farm was ripe for the father and son bowhunters.
Kevin arrived at his father's home at 2:00, and they were soon on the road again to the farm.
"The weather was pretty good, maybe 40 degrees, and partly cloudy skies made for good hunting," he said.
"We had a dozen stands situated around the farm. On the way there, Dad and I decided which ones we would hunt," Kevin continued.
"I chose a 15-foot-high ladder stand on a beech tree. It was in a good location. I'd seen a bunch of deer from it over the years. Dad chose a stand about 150 yards from there."
Both hunters were in place by 3:30.
"On my end, there was absolutely no activity. I didn't even see a squirrel," said Kevin.
"Then things got worse. The wind swung around until it was completely wrong, blowing headlong into the area where the deer usually bedded.
I was bummed and decided to get down and head back to the truck. It was 6:00, too ... almost prime time."
Kevin prepared his gear and even went as far as to tie his drop cord to the bow in order to lower it to the ground. But, suddenly, he saw movement in the direction of his father's stand. A closer look revealed a buck at about 80 yards. He was unable to count points, but it sure looked like a shooter.
"I decided maybe I was a bit hasty with my decision to leave," Kevin said.
"About 20 minutes later, I spotted two does 40 yards away. Then I saw two more deer 20 yards beyond them.
"It was very thick in there. I couldn't decipher what the last two were, but I ranged them at 63 yards," he added.
"The leaves were still on and because of that, it was getting dark in the woods. The wind had picked up, too, causing me to once again consider heading back to the truck.
"Frustrated, I turned toward the tree. That's when I saw this huge buck just 22 yards away. There was a button buck with it. I tried to lift my bow as they were looking at a nearby alfalfa field," Kevin said.
"They weren't doing anything except standing there. Maybe they were waiting for the darkness so they could move safely into the alfalfa. Next thing, I saw two more button bucks approaching. The big buck started to chase off the newcomers, and my heart sank. I thought I'd lost any chance for a shot.
"Just as suddenly, however, the big buck stopped, turned back into my shooting lane at 18 yards and started to thrash a small beech tree. I was ready; the bow was ready. My arrow was nocked, and the buck was quartering toward me.
"I was very worried the little bucks would wind me, so I focused on the big guy's shoulder and touched the release. From the buck's reaction, I was sure it was a good shot.
"It ran about 60 yards, and then dropped over the edge of a 30-foot bank and down into a creek bed. I didn't know whether it ran or fell down the bank, but then I could hear its hooves kicking at the rocks. It didn't sound as if it was getting any farther away.
"When it was finally quiet, I gathered my stuff, got down and went to the truck to wait for Dad to come out of the woods," said Kevin.
Noah arrived about dark, and the two decided it would be safe to go back in and see what they could find.
"We went back to the stand and I directed Dad to the point where I'd made the shot. There was no blood to be seen right there, so I had him head to the point where I last saw the deer. I went over to him and shined the flashlight into the ravine. We could see the body of the buck lying in the rocks.
"As I clambered down the steep bank, I was suddenly overcome with fear. I could see only one side of the rack. I was afraid the other side had broken off during the buck's fall. I quickly grabbed the head and pulled it up to discover the lower half of the rack, which had been buried in the creek. I also soon discovered that most of the rack was still in velvet and very dark.
"We field-dressed the deer, and then we dragged it along the creek for about 300 yards before we got to a place where we could get the four-wheeler down there. It took at least an hour and a half to move it that distance.
"By the time we got to the check station, it was pretty late. No other hunters were there. Even the kid working the station had probably never been in the woods, so he was totally unimpressed. I had to wait until the next day to wow my friends," Kevin added.

(3 star hotel)
including 8 days parking
from the airport
customer rating
The hotel that makes a holiday destination of Crawley
It's Crawley's most celebrated building: a 17th-century, Grade II listed former coaching inn. The Ramada Crawley Gatwick just oozes history and character. It's also the only Gatwick airport hotel in the centre of Crawley, so perfect if you dont want to spend your evening on the edge of the airport.
Go out before you go away
The Ramada Crawley is within easy walking distance of numerous pubs, restaurants and shops, including the large County Mall shopping centre, and also has two on-site restaurants and a lively bar. If youre up for getting the holiday started with a night out before you jet off, then this is the hotel for you.

Getting there and away
The Ramada Crawley is easy to find if you're travelling by car - it's on a main road, just seven minutes from the M23. You can park overnight for free in the large on-site car park and leave your car there while you're on holiday too. If youre coming by public transport, Crawley rail station is just a five-minute walk away. Trains run regularly from here to Gatwick airport and London.
You can book a taxi to the airport through the hotel for a flat fee of £8.50 per room. The journey takes just 10 to 15 minutes, but allow plenty of time as traffic in the town centre can be busy, especially during rush hour.
Two restaurants, one bar and the High Street on your doorstepThe Ramada Crawley has two welcoming restaurants: the affordable Wusungdan all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, and the more formal Giggling Squid Thai restaurant.
Theres also free wifi throughout the hotel.
We recommend the Ramada Crawley Gatwick for:
Character - the Grade II listed building was once one of the most important coaching inns in England and over the centuries has been associated with royalty, smuggling, bareknuckle boxing and more.
Families - There are rooms for two adults and either one or two children, which are spacious enough for even the most rambunctious of families. The extra beds are a decent size too.
Night owls - Tucked away from the bedrooms is the Octopvs bar, which serves cocktails until 1am. This is Crawley's latest-opening bar (only the nightclubs serve until later) and theres a party atmosphere in here most nights, as local revellers lounge on chaises-longues and lean against Roman statues.
Public transport - Crawley train station is a five-minute walk from the Ramada Crawley and links the town with London Bridge and London Victoria, as well as Gatwick airport station, just eight minutes up the line. Once youre here youre in the town centre and can walk to any of the local attractions.
Food - The hotel has two restaurants, and there are numerous bars, pubs and restaurants on the High Street right outside. You can even order Thai room service something we have yet to see anywhere else in the UK.
You can check in from 2pm. You must check out by 11am.
High Street,
West Sussex,
More Information
The Ramada Crawley, formerly The George hotel, offers a glimpse into 17th Century coaching inn history. You'll not only be connected to history, but to transport links into Gatwick. Right in the heart of Crawley, this hotel is less than four miles from the airport and just a five-minute walk from Crawley station.
Steeped in history, this hotel was once a successful and convenient coaching inn for weary travellers, dating back to 1615. Today, you'll find the same comfort and convenience during your overnight stay.
Check-in is from 14:00 so there's plenty of time to explore the historic heart of Crawley.
When you're ready to eat, you've got the length of the whole high street to choose from. The hotel doesn't have its own bar or restaurant, but you're surrounded by eateries: there's a local Chinese restaurant, a Thai restaurant and several pubs to suit whatever takes your fancy. We'd recommend the Giggling Squid just down the high street for some delicious, homemade Thai food, and the Octopvs bar for a drink to get you in the holiday mood.
There are 84 simple but tastefully decorated bedrooms with comfy beds when you're ready to hit the hay. They have all you need to make tea and coffee, a trouser press, television, telephone, hair dryer and an en-suite bathroom.
And, you can stay connected throughout the hotel with free wifi.
Pre-book the most important meal of the day. It's a delicious buffet breakfast laid out in the building next door and is served from 06:45 to 09:30 on weekdays and from 07:30 to 10:00 on weekends.
Check-out is by 11:00, and if you have some extra time to spare, you're a three-minute stroll from Crawley shopping centre for some last-minute retail therapy.
When you're ready to fly, the hotel will book your taxi to the airport. It costs £8.50 per person and takes around 15 minutes.
