- 2001 Triumph Legend TT
The Legend TT is designed for riders looking for a classically styled roadster
with lively performance plus everyday versatility.
Like Triumph's other classically styled bikes, the Legend features an appealing blend of period styling plus modern engine and chassis engineering, with a look that is clean and classically elegant.
A teardrop fuel tank, reverse-cone silencers and traditional laced wheels with chromed rims combine with the distinctive three-cylinder engine to give an attractive period feel.
The 885cc, liquid-cooled motor comes with a durable powder-coated finish, and follows the successful format set by Triumph's other classic triples. It is tuned for crisp throttle response and generous torque output at low and medium engine speeds.
The Legend is notably easy to ride, thanks to its low seat and a chassis designed for easy handling. The engine is available with a restriction kit*, which makes it an ideal entry to the world of three-cylinder classic motorcycling.
For owners who enjoy personalising their machines, the Legend's distinctive look can be further enhanced with a selection from Triumph's extensive range of accessories.

Egypt defeat Cameroon in a friendly game in Sudan
The Pharaohs started their preparation camp for the next world cup qualifiers in Sudan with a 2-1 win over Cameroon's local based squad on Sunday.
Sunderland's winger Ahmed El-Elmohamady opened the scoring for the Pharaohs on the 41th minute of the game with a powerful header after an excellent cross from forward Mohamed Salah.
Ibrahim Salah's hand in the area gave Cameroon a correct penalty which they converted on the 75th minute of the game to make it 1-1.
Five minutes later, Mohamed Abou Treika made the difference for the Pharaohs by converting a penalty after right-back Bassem Aly, who replaced Elmohamady, was fouled in the area to give Egypt the lead for good.
The game witnessed the first participation of Brighton defender Adam El-Abd with the Egyptian national team. El-Abd played the second half-time after replacing Zamalek's defender Mahmoud Fathallah, but he didn't impress during the game.
The Pharaohs will meet Togo on Tuesday. Bob Bradley's team was scheduled to face Senegal on 25 may but this game became doubtful after Morocco revealed that they will host Senegal on the same date.
The Egyptian football association contacted their Zambian counterpart in order for the latter to replace Senegal in Friday's friendly game.
Egypt is in the midst of preparing for their 2014 World Cup qualifier against Mozambique, set to be played on first June.

Discussing a Socioscientific Issue in a Primary School Classroom: The Case of Using a Technology-Supported Environment in Formal and Nonformal Settings

Recent educational reports in the USA (Duschl, Schweingruber, & Shouse, 2007), the UK (Osborne, 2007), and elsewhere in Europe have called for a science education that places an emphasis on scientific literacy, and makes the connection between science and everyday life. The focus of this approach is on the social aspects of science, aiming to prepare young people for life beyond school. Aikenhead (2006) has attempted to define the term by explaining scientific literacy as acquiring knowledge for science—that is, both knowledge of the content and knowledge about science, which he sees as the social processes of science. Likewise, in national reform documents, the core of scientific literacy is related to understanding knowledge and processes of science, and the application of this knowledge (AAAS, 1993; National Research Council, 1996).

Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho's tax increases during Portugal's two-year recession may be about to backfire.
Coelho said last week that income taxes probably will climb after he scrapped a proposal to raise the social-security tax rate. The CGTP labor group said Sept. 29 at a demonstration against austerity policies in central Lisbon that it may call a general strike. Portugal already has Western Europe's poorest population in terms of output per capita.
"It will be very difficult for the Portuguese middle class to continue to bear increases in income tax," Rogerio Fernandes Ferreira, president of the Portuguese branch of the International Fiscal Association and a former secretary of state for fiscal affairs, said during a Sept. 25 interview in Lisbon. "What's going to be attacked once again is tax on income."
Coelho, like his counterparts in Spain and Greece, is stoking social unrest by bowing to demands from creditor countries for better fiscal controls. Portugal's progress in meeting terms of its 78 billion-euro ($100 billion) bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund has helped the nation's bond market.
Borrowing costs dropped to the lowest since 2010 during a Sept. 19 sale of 1.29 billion euros of 18-month bills, while the difference in yield that investors demand to hold Portugal's 10- year bonds instead of German bunds has narrowed to 7.5 percentage points from 16 percentage points on Jan. 31. The 10- year Portuguese bond rate is now about 8.9 percent, while two- year debt yields 5.1 percent.
Swap Movements
Credit-default swaps on Portugal declined to a 19-month low of 453 basis points on Sept. 17 from a record 1,514 in January before climbing to 531 last week, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The contracts fell 20 basis points yesterday to 495.
EU and IMF officials have agreed to give Portugal more time to narrow its budget deficit. The government said last month it expects the deficit to equal 5 percent of gross domestic product in 2012, compared with the previous goal of 4.5 percent. It targets a deficit of 4.5 percent in 2013 rather than 3 percent, and plans to cut the shortfall below the EU's 3 percent limit in 2014 to a 2.5 percent gap.
The Finance Ministry reported Sept. 24 that revenue from indirect taxes fell 5 percent in the first eight months of the year, while revenue from direct taxes rose 2.1 percent.
Tax Debate
"It is difficult to identify if the drop in tax revenue is owed to an increase in the tax rate, or if it's due to the recession, since cuts in civil servants' salaries have also caused declines in private consumption," said Rui Serra, the chief economist at Caixa Economica Montepio Geral in Lisbon. "There's a risk that we are nearing the point at which a higher tax rate results in less revenue, and with some taxes, that point may already have been reached."
To meet the deficit targets, the government plans to boost taxes on real-estate assets valued at more than 1 million euros beginning this year. For 2013, planned tax increases include higher charges on dividends, capital gains and private airplanes. Coelho said Sept. 24 that private-sector workers may lose part or all of their summer or Christmas salary payments.
Tax revenue will reach 24.7 percent of GDP this year, and then climb to 24.8 percent in 2013 and 2014, and to 24.9 percent in 2015, according to a budget plan released in April. Tax revenue rose to 23.5 percent in 2011 from 22.2 percent in 2010 and 21.7 percent in 2009. The figures don't include social security contributions.
Spending Cuts
Coelho said Sept. 5 that while he was aware that the tax burden in Portugal was already high, his government wouldn't succeed in narrowing the budget deficit with lower taxes.
Before coming to power in June 2011, Coelho's Social Democrats called on more spending cuts rather than tax increases. "Families and companies have been bearing the austerity we have had until now," Coelho said on April 11, 2011. "Now, austerity for the state will also be needed," he said.
Portugal's debt will be on "a firm downward trajectory after 2014" after peaking at close to 124 percent of GDP, the IMF, EU Commission and European Central Bank said Sept. 11. In July, the IMF said it projected Portugal's debt would reach 118.5 percent of GDP in 2013.
The government projects that the economy will shrink 1 percent in 2013 after contracting 3 percent this year. It forecasts the unemployment rate will rise to about 16 percent in 2013 from 15.5 percent this year. Economic growth averaged less than 1 percent a year for the past decade, placing Portugal among Europe's weakest performers.
Party Politics
CDS party leader Paulo Portas, who is foreign minister in the coalition government, wrote in a letter to party members in July that "the level of taxes has already reached its limit."
The government is backed by Coelho's Social Democrats and the CDS, which is the junior coalition partner, with a combined majority of 132 seats in the 230-member parliament. The two governing parties said Sept. 20 that they will set up a Coalition Coordination Council to improve cooperation after they differed on a social security tax proposal that was pulled.
Coelho said Sept. 13 it would be a "tragedy" for Portugal if Social Democrat and CDS members of parliament fail to approve the 2013 budget package. The proposal is due by Oct. 15.
"The government isn't blind or deaf," Coelho said Sept. 21. "I don't confuse determination with intransigence. The effort we have to make hasn't ended after one year."
Portugal's GDP per capita of about 16,000 euros is less than half of Ireland's and about 16 percent lower than the Greek figure, making it western Europe's poorest country, according to EU data. Greece's average annual gross earnings were almost twice the Portuguese figure in 2009, and Ireland's monthly minimum wage is almost triple that of Portugal.

Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Client very pleased with product.
The grey appearance of the globes was the thing that struck me as most interesting and why I purchased it, but the globes are all frosted white with no grey at all. Maybe the grey appearance is shadows when the lights is on? I don't know, but I was disappointed. I bought this for a project we're going to start soon so it's not installed yet, but I was still very happy with the price [...]
We installed the light upside down it looks more modern and it defuses the light nicely.
delivery was extremely prompt, product in excellent condition..and customer service was readily available and helpful!
It's much brighter and more attractive that the light it replaces.
This piece was placed over the single sink in a new master bath. Great match to brushed nickel fixtures and glass creates nice glow.

How Long Will Interest Rates Stay Low, And Are They Really Boosting Your Portfolio?
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) The prices of equities are not always driven by interest rates , several experts said.
While it appears that an increase in interest rates would drive down stock prices, that scenario is not always true, said Craig Lazzara, global head of index investment strategy for S&P Dow Jones Indice, in a recent research blog post.
- Also See: When Will the Federal Reserve Raise Interest Rates?
- Also See: 5 Reasons to Buy a House in the Next 5 Months
- Also See: Young Americans Favor Cash for Long-Term Savings
The past 15 years of returns for equities indicate the opposite, he said. Since 1998 when the 10-year Treasury rates declined, the average return on the S&P 500 was -0.38%, Lazzara wrote in the report.
However, when the 10-year Treasury rose, the S&P 500 rose by an average of 1.81% , the report said.
"This counterintuitive behavior suggests that interest rates were not driving stock prices, but rather that both rates and stock values were both being driving by exogenous factors," Lazzara said.
The Federal Open Market Committee chose to continue to purchase bonds at $85 billion each month in a meeting earlier this month . This move surprised the financial markets, which had counted on a small adjustment to the past five years of a lax monetary policy. The FOMC could chose to limit the amount of bonds it buys back in late October. Tapering the Fed's quantitative easing program would result rising interest rates.
Rising interest rates do not always affect stocks negatively, said Fei Mei Chan, associate director of index investment strategy for S&P Dow Jones Indices.
"It is not a sure thing that interest rates are bad for equities," she said. "It does have an impact on equity performance. We're sitting at a historical low in interest rates. It's not a matter of if interest rates will rise, but when they will increase. Everyone is anticipating the increase."
Between January 1991 and June 2013, the average monthly return for the S&P 500 was 0.85%, according to a report by Chan and Lazzara.
"Paradoxically, in the three periods of rising rates, the average monthly return was 0.96%, compared to an average monthly return of 0.82% for the periods of declining rates," the report said. "Rising rates have clearly not been bad for stocks over the past two decades."
Even the possibility of tapering can result in interest rates rising , Chan said.
"The market has been bipolar," she said. "Keep in mind that aside from interest rates, many things go into equity performance."
When interest rates are low, investors focus more on equity performance instead of bond returns, said Aaron Izenstark, managing director of IRON Financial, based in Northbrook, Illinois.
"It's a scale," he said. "Investors are going to weigh what they can get potentially."

Where rickshaw pullers earn more than car plant workers
At one time the cycle rickshaw wallah was at the lowest rung of the income ladder. The Delhi Metro has pulled him up by several notches. The compartmentalised thinking of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporations and the administrations of Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon have given him a leg up. Rather than provide end-to-end seamless connectivity, our governments (and public sector corporations) - never used to putting the citizen, the consumer or the commuter first - think of a journey as a series of discrete episodes, where they have a bit role. This is an opportunity for cycle rickshaws.
Film City in Noida, just across Delhi border with Uttar Pradesh, has become a hub of television channels. CNBC-TV18, CNN-IBN, IBN-7, Homeshop18, Zee TV, Times Now, BAG Films, Dish TV, the British publishing company Dorling Kindersley and many film studios are based there.
The nearest Metro stations are in Sectors 16 and 18 - less than two kilometres away. Auto rickshaws would make decent money running shared shuttle services and charging customers individually. That they do not do. They are either not enterprising or find the chore not worth the effort. The heads that bob rhythmically with the rise and fall of the pedal are thankful. Every time a train pulls at the stations, the neat rows of cycles stuck to each other break into a throbbing knot as the pedallers vie for customers. There is none of the autorickshaw driver's indifference or disdain to putative passengers.
I asked a pedaller how much he makes a day. Rs 500 a day, he said. Rs 15,000 a month? I asked. No, about Rs 12,000 he said, not counting the rent of Rs 40 a day or Rs 1,200 a month. He was not an exception. I asked another, and he endorsed the math. A guy I know was reluctant to relocate to Noida, when I told him about the size of the takings there. He said he was earning as much from the tricycle service at Preet Vihar station of the Metro Blueline in East Delhi.
Ten or twelve thousand rupees a month is almost double the minimum wages in Delhi for unskilled workers, which is Rs 7,020. The minimum wages is what private security guards get. If they are freelancers, they get even less. In fact, a rickshaw puller in Noida would be earning as much or even more than the minimum prescribed for a graduate clerk or supervisor in Delhi, which is, Rs 9,282.
But look at the salary that skilled workers on contract get in some of our reputed companies. According to Devjot Ghoshal's report in the Business Standard of 5 August, ITI-trained Suresh Pathak gets Rs 8,500 at Suzuki Powertrain. Eleven years ago, he got Rs 7,500 at Force Motors in Pune. In real terms, he is earning less. Maruti told the correspondent that it was paying not less than Rs 12,000 a contract worker. The labour contractors perhaps skim the rest.
Sarvanan, a contract worker at Hyundai, told the newspaper that he earns Rs 6,000 a month. A worker at the General Motors plant at Halol in Gujarat reported getting paid about Rs 8,000 a month.
Maruti Suzuki told the correspondent that its permanent workers earn a monthly salary of up to Rs 45,000.
I was under the impression that risk and reward are related - higher the risk, higher the reward. By that reckoning contract workers should be paid more, because they can lose jobs anytime.
Much is made about India's inflexible labour laws and how it deters expansion and employment creation. A study by the Asian Development Bank a few years ago said weak enforcement makes them less rigid than they are. If employers had the freedom to fire at will, will they keep more people on their payrolls, or will there be more casualisation?
The unrest at Maruti is intriguing because it was the Japanese, led by the car company, which changed our attitude to labour. Traditional Indian employers were paternalistic. They regarded a veshti or a shawl and timepiece at the time of retirement as enough compensation for a life time of low pay (and laddoos at festival time). Though techniques like total quality management, total productive maintenance, suggestion box schemes and quality circles, the Japanese taught us to regard workers as partners in the production process, without whose cooperation there would be wastage and loss of productivity.
Extracting more out of workers is fine, but how about giving them a share of it? Staff costs at Maruti (according to Mint newspaper) are 2.4 per cent of sales, the lowest in the auto industry, compared to 5.5 per cent at Tata Motors' domestic operations and Mahindra & Mahindra.
We can have ISO certified, Deming prize winning, Six Sigma companies that measure defects not in percentage but in parts per million, but as along as there is no limit to shareholder greed Noida's cycle rickshaw pullers will earn more than a contract worker on a car assembly line.

Things got somewhat heated Tuesday night, when the details of voting for a new school board member weren't immediately released by the board, but there's a bit of a back story.
The board's chair, Alberto Monserrate (right), said only that the winner for the District 3 seat had gotten a majority, without further details. Monserrate said he was just following the procedure the board used when it voted at the end of 2011 to fill another board vacancy.
That didn't satisfy some partisans favoring Ubah Jama for the latest vacancy, most notably activist Al Flowers Jr. When Monserrate said details of the vote would be released later, Flowers kept talking, causing Monserrate to declare a 13-minute recess to cool things off. With a crowded meeting agenda, the delay helped to delay the board's ultimate adjournment that evening to 11:30.
That's not unprecedented. He did the same thing last summer when a group of parents from a charter the district was evicting got overheated at a board meeting.
Although the board usually votes orally, because it was using ranked-choice voting, it used written ballots in which the applicants were ranked were ranked first through fourth. It used the same procedure to name Kim Ellison to fill the last vacancy.
What grated on some was that even partial results of who voted for whom weren't released for almost an hour, and then only via e-mail to two reporters. The full rankings weren't released until a reporter requested them the next day. Monserrate said the rankings could have come out quicker if matters hadn't gotten so tense.
"You learn every time," he said later in the week. "You learn and adjust."
The top two candidates for the seat were Mohamud Noor, who got the job on a 5-3 vote, and Ubah Jama. Noor gave by far the most polished performance at the board's interviews, but may have been hampered by a perception of carpetbagging. He and his family live in a northeast Minneapolis house, but Noor moved into a room in Cedar-Riverside just soon enough to meet the board's residency requirement for District 3. He said they plan to buy a home in the Seward neighborhood.
Jama was a sentimental choice as the widow of Hussein Samatar, whose death caused the vacancy, and brought the most supporters to speak for her in the board's comment period. Some saw her as best representing Somali-American women who are single heads of household.
Two board members who favored Jama, Tracine Asberry and Carla Bates, lowballed Noor by giving him a third ranking. One Noor supporter, Kim Ellison, did the same for Jama.
Here are the rankings by board members: Monserrate: Noor, Jama, Ira Jourdain, Nicque Mabrey; Richard Mammen: Noor, Jama, Mabrey, Jourdain; Rebecca Gagnon: Jama, Noor, Jourdain, Mabrey; Asberry: Jama, Jourdain, Noor, Mabrey; Bates: Jama, Jourdain, Noor, Mabrey; Jenny Arneson: Noor, Jama, Jourdain; Josh Reimnitz: Noor, Jama, Jourdain, Mabrey; Ellison: Noor, Jourdain, Jama, Mabrey.

Note: Last week I received a request from Jean J. that I write about the history of Clifford Kamph Park. My curiosity about the park and the man it was named for piqued last summer. I spoke to several of Clifford Kamph's friends and researched records of the plane crash to compile the following history published in The Daily Triplicate last July 30 as part of a tribute called "Memorials of Del Norte County" spotlighting seven different veteran's memorials in our county.
I have visited the Kamph family plot in Crescent City cemetery. There is a marker for Clifford next to the final resting place of his parents and little sister Irene.

(Updates with payment terms in second paragraph.)
Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Boeing Co. raised its quarterly dividend 4.8 percent to 44 cents a share, the first increase since 2008 at the world's largest aerospace company.
The dividend will be payable on March 2 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 10, Boeing said today in a statement. The previous amount was 42 cents a share. A Bloomberg projection called for a new total of 45 cents.
Boeing's last increase was announced Dec. 15, 2008, when the Chicago-based planemaker raised the amount to 42 cents a share from 40 cents, payable in March 2009. Boeing had struggled since then with delays in its 787 Dreamliner and 747-8 jumbo jet, which entered commercial service this year.
Today's move came after Morgan Stanley boosted its rating on Boeing to "overweight" from "equal weight." Boeing fell 1.9 percent to $70.59 at 3:28 p.m. in New York as broad U.S. indexes slumped.

DJ Rashad's EPs 'I Don't Give a Fuck' and 'Rollin'' Prove the Footwork King Can Do Almost Anything
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
Label: Hyperdub
Despite a 15-year reign as what Ghettophiles label owner Neema Nazem calls the "gum underneath the shoes of Chicago house music," juke and footwork (a more spartan, bass-drum-heavy offshoot of juke) have just recently garnered acclaim outside their hometown. Thanks to profile-raising comps like Planet Mu's Bangs & Works series, such genre pioneers as DJ Boo and DJ Rashad have since hopped the Atlantic, to where "knees up" can now mean busting a "Tom & Jerry" or another of footwork's dizzying, vertically inclined dance moves. Whereas house and acid (yet another Chicago offshoot) emphasize dancing in lateral space in the 120- to 130-BPM range, juke often works up to the dizzying speed of 160 BPM, to where the bass drums turn into hummingbird hearts.
On last year's essential Teklife Vol. 1, DJ Rashad (in conjunction with partner DJ Spinn) proved he could whip his rhythmic programming into meringues that were pointed, gravity-defying, almost airy with negative space. Now signed to Hyperdub, with two EPs now released this year — Rollin' in March, and now this week's I Don't Give a Fuck — Rashad shows that he's like gum, in that any genre he steps into sticks fast: snap, dubstep, diced black noise, modern soul harmonies, avant-garde laptop fuckery, and even the weepy-R&B domain of Mary J. Blige herself.
Rollin' is the more kinetic of the two by just a few ticks, as befits the recreational drug use hinted at on the title track. "Drums Please" lives up to its title even as Rashad inverts all expectations: Snares blur first into helicopter blades, then into bubbles behind an adenoidal synth line, then into a Primatene mist. "Broken Hearted" takes "Between the Sheets"-type elegance and twists its satin textures into a noose, just revealing the desperation in the line "gets down on my knees and starts to pray."
I Don't Give a Fuck, by contrast, is a furious four-tracker with the likes of DJ Manny, DJ Spinn, and Freshmoon on board that just clears 13 minutes, emphasizing Rashad at his most brusque, unsentimental, and punk. The vocal sample with the most emphasis, of course, goes, "I don't give a fuck about you / (Snare roll) / I don't give a fuck about myself." The second-most malicious is the voice that Rashad tweaks into a strangulated, stuttering admission: "I still l-l-love you." When he takes Blige's admission, "I cannot hide the way I feel" and lashes a snare against it, there's the reveal: These sticky, skeletal tracks hold together so well because of a deep sentiment coursing beneath the surface.

– RICHARD CHANG, the Register
Can a human dodge a bullet or a paintball?
Do people get wetter walking or running through the rain?
Will a plane still take off from a conveyer belt moving in the opposite direction?
These questions are put to the test in the newest exhibition at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. "MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition," based on the popular Discovery Channel TV series, opens Saturday and kicks off a summer of interactive, family-friendly exhibitions in the region that should keep out-of-school children happily occupied for hours.
"MythBusters" re-creates the operation room and workshop of the reality TV show, now in its 11th season, and offers a series of hands-on experiments that explore urban myths and legends with real-life science.
"I think Discovery Science Center and this exhibit 'MythBusters' align quite well with what we're both trying to do," said Dan Nasitka, the science center's manager of communications. "One of our major initiatives is S.T.E.M. proficiency – science, technology, engineering and math. That's a lot of what we do out in the schools. This exhibit is pure science, and it's all about learning what the scientific method is, and what they do on the show, and applying it in real life."
Visitors to "MythBusters" can build a house out of simulated straw, wood and bricks, and test if a gust of wind (the big bad wolf) can blow a house down. They can pull a blue or red tablecloth and see if the dishes and cups will remain on the table. And two people can walk or run in a rain chamber and compare who's wetter, with the help of edible dye-colored water and high-tech mirrors.
Videos from the stars of "MythBusters" play on command on TV screens, and a live demonstration runs several times a day in the middle of the exhibit. "MythBusters," which costs $5 on top of regular admission ($12.95-$16.95), continues through Sept. 7.
Kari Byron, one of the stars of the show "MythBusters," has been to the exhibit about eight times and said it looks almost exactly like her San Francisco workshop on TV.
"Parents all think they're taking their kids to it, but it sucks them in like a vortex, too, and they can't get out of it," she said.
Geoffrey Curley, owner of the St. Paul, Minn.-based company that organized this traveling exhibit, said his team consulted carefully with the show's cast and crew, and also made sure the science is accurate, meaningful and fun.
"Our goal is people will leave here and want to question and experiment in their own world," Curley said. "If you have a question and don't know the answer, instead of just going to the Web, try to figure it out yourself."
Contact the writer: 714-796-6026 or email@example.com
Irvine and Anaheim have contacted the organization about hosting the race, but there are no concrete plans to move the event at this time.

Press Copy: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: September 28, 2014 CONTACT: MIKE DENNIS 536-4900, EXT. 113 RECOVERY MONTH EVENT GREAT SUCCESS With an estimated 22 million people in the United States suffering from an alcohol and/or drug addiction, a local agency held a community event designed to bring awareness to this issue. On September 20th, the Tri-County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse held the inaugural Rockin Recovery Fest at Centennial Park to recognize and celebrate the fact that recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction is possible. Nationally, the month of September is recognized as Recovery Month with events planned all over the United States. Kicking the event off was a 5k walk/run followed by a concert featuring two acts in recovery from addiction and five local artists. Coming all the way from Florida, recovering rap artist Orlino Esguerra provided inspiration and enthusiasm as he shared his own personal recovery message through song. Jacob of the iWorldband also shared his message of his struggle to overcome his addiction and thankful for the 28 years in recovery he now has. "To hear both of these gentleman openly discuss their path of addiction and recovery is inspiring, to say the least", said Mike Dennis, Executive Director of the Tri-County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. "These two are great examples that recovery does occur and that there is help for those suffering from addiction". Also providing entertainment were local artists Stephen Daniel Carpenter and Vondella Smith with the spoken word and the High Praise Youth Choir, Dee Glover, Jarvis Jet and Kristen Jamison all showing their immense talents. The following local community agencies were also on hand to share and distribute health information: CASA, Hope Health, Family Health Centers, Regional Medical Center, Orangeburg Area Mental Health, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Al-Anon and the William J. McCord Adolescent Treatment Facility. Rounding out the event was a bounce house, rock climbing wall and face painting for children of all ages and Cornerstone Community Church provided a concession stand with wonderful food. "It's exciting to see this community come together to recognize and support those with an active addiction and those in recovery." , said Dennis. "This community realizes that all life is valued and those who have an addiction need our support. I had one person tell me at the event that he had been struggling with his addiction to heroin for years until 5 months ago when he walked through our doors. He told me his counselor, John Taylor, and our physician Dr. Robert Stafford, were heroes in his eyes as they have helped him see and learn there's a better way to live. It doesn't get any better than that. You can't put a price on a life restored." With such great success, plans are already underway to build upon this event and make it an annual event. If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction, contact the Tri-County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse at 803-536-4900.

- " Great hostel and excellent staff! The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. I felt at home as soon as I arrived. The hostel has a strong young/travel culture. Everyone I met was very friendly and open to sharing their travel experiences. Thanks to the inviting culture, I was able to join several day trips w. strangers that ended up being great fun. I personally preferred this hostel to Posada due to the staff, proximity to beaches, and lively environment. I would absolutely recommend it! "

Body of missing Greendale man found near his home
Updated On: Mar 19 2014 05:26:48 PM CDT
Law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told WISN 12 News that the body of a missing Greendale man has been found about a block away from his house.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office told WISN 12 News it's been called to Greendale, although it would not confirm that it was for the missing man.
Police Chief Robert Malasuk said Dennis Maciejewski, 63, was dropped off at his home on Crocus Court Monday around 7:30 p.m.
He had not been seen or heard from since.
Malasuk said Maciejewski had been at a hospital earlier in the day for treatment of a head injury after a fall.
As of Wednesday morning, Maciejewski was still listed as missing.
Dennis is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 183 pounds. He trembles and walks slowly due to a medical condition.
Anyone with information about where Dennis might be is asked to call Greendale police at 414-423-2121.

"I thought the recipe was really good. I just used relish instead of fresh dill and added some adobo, garlic powder, and onion powder to give it a little kick! Delish!"""
