Telltale has released three behind the scenes videos for its upcoming Back to the Future adventure game, which won't be coming to Xbox 360.
Picking up shortly after the events of the third Back to the Future film, the title will see Marty and Doc embark on a completely new time-travel adventure across five episodes.
PC and Mac versions of the game are expected to debut in December, followed by PSN and iPad releases.
The first behind the scenes movie features Bob Gale, the co-creator, writer and producer of the Back to the Future film trilogy, and Christopher 'Doc Brown' Lloyd talking about their involvement.
In the second video AJ Locascio, the new voice actor for Marty McFly, talks about his ability to emulate Michael J. Fox and how he got involved with the project.
In the final video, director Dennis Lenart goes into detail on how Telltale is handling the games.

Gillian Welch's third album, Time (The Revelator), finds the folk vocalist and musician shifting her attention from achingly beautiful mountain ballads to achingly beautiful pop/rock ballads.

Read More Gillian Welch's third album, Time (The Revelator), finds the folk vocalist and musician shifting her attention from achingly beautiful mountain ballads to achingly beautiful pop/rock ballads. Regarding this album, Welch states: "As opposed to being little tiny folk songs or traditional songs, they're really tiny rock songs. They're just performed in this acoustic setting. In our heads we went electric without changing instruments." This philosophy is most evident in songs like "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll" and "Elvis Presley Blues," with her longtime collaborator David Rawlings accompanying her on Louvin-esque high harmonies and vintage guitar. Fans of the duo's neo-old-timey sound will be happy to hear a few of their familiar, intimate dust bowl folk songs peering through the fence posts. The banjo-driven "My First Lover" could've been recorded on Alan Lomax's back porch, while the title track aches and moans along with the best of her two previous albums. Rawlings' production on the album remains warm and intimate throughout, capturing the subtleties of the acoustic instruments and earthy harmonies. Highlights include the passionate romp "Red Clay Halo," which includes the best elements of time-honored folk stylings and their newfound passion for rock & roll, and the hushed awe that captures the audience in the Ryman Auditorium during the live recording of "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll." Time (The Revelator) ends with an unprecedented 15-minute track called "I Dream a Highway," which drifts lazily through the album's final moments, sweetly dozing in the current like Huck and Jim's Mississippi River afternoons. Welch and Rawlings are at the top of their form and continue to make the best Americana recordings without resorting to drenching their albums in guest stars, but by writing and performing heartfelt songs that speak with a clear and undeniable honesty. ~ Zac Johnson, Rovi Read Less

Leap Motion brings 3D motion control to the desktop, with mixed results
At first, Leap Motion's device feels like magic. An invisible cone of light tracks your fingers in front of your monitor and turns every gesture into onscreen action across Leap's selection of independent games and apps – and, like every motion controller, it feels unique and exciting right up to the moment you break the spell with your own curiosity.
It's players' own faults, really. You watch your family enjoying Wii Sports with exaggerated serving motions, dipping a knee to bowl and swinging for the bleachers, and you ask yourself: "Just how little do I need to swing the controller to get the same effect?" The answer is, of course, not much – the Wii Remote's sensitivity was never a match for the games it was sold upon, and a simple flick of the wrist was ample to launch a Wii Sports baseball out of the stadium. Kinect, too, was magic right up until the moment you found that placing one arm behind your back sent your character flailing, or that turning sideways gave you a double-jointed knee.
Leap Motion's $80 controller, with which the company shares its name, is a tiny device that fills the space in front of your monitor with infrared light and tracks every motion within its area of effect. It looks innocuous on a desk and is easily set up, with the drivers and Airspace application downloaded from Leap's site. It ships in a neat little square box, has two USB cables – one long, one short, to accommodate different setups – and salutes Apple's design aesthetic with its brushed aluminium and glossy black shell.
A tutorial and selection of demos are Leap Motion's first magic trick. As you swipe your fingers through the air you'll trace glowing lines on the screen, drawing shapes and pictures with a finger. Another demo tracks the orientation of your hands with an onscreen skeleton, each wireframe finger mirroring your own instantly as you move it. But when curiosity gets the better of you and you turn your hand sideways, you lose three of your skeletal fingers. Leap Motion's two-dimensional view of the world limits the readability of your gestures and means a sideways hand is as good as a one-fingered hand. Test the depth of the cone and you'll find that you're often dipping your hands in and out of the light without realising; there's a learning process with Leap Motion's device, and the software does little to assist your understanding of the gestural language you're forced to learn.
The controller can be configured to operate your mouse pointer, which is almost marginally desirable for Windows 8's touch-friendly interface, but Leap Motion's cone of light is not a touchscreen with a binary on/off understanding of your intentions. You'll 'press' invisible buttons by reaching into space and jabbing at air, scroll pages with a swipe of two fingers – and switch back to the immediacy and accuracy of a mouse within minutes.
It's as a game controller that Leap Motion is at its most worthwhile, but even games built for the hardware very quickly reveal problems that are beyond the device's ability to solve. Double Fine's Dropchord is the showcase game – the Halo of Leap Motion, in a sense – but it's telling just how much easier the game is on iOS. With fingers planted firmly on the screen and the game's two 'handles' responding to every motion, it's an unusual and solid rhythm-action game, but with arms outstretched you lose precision and control, particularly during sequences where you're required to 'press' buttons with one, two or three fingers.
And Dropchord's lengthy sessions expose another quirk: sitting with arms outstretched is uncomfortable, even for physically fit players. A half-hour spent with hands hovering at chest height is a half-hour your shoulders will quickly notice, and there's a reason why doctors recommend that office workers sit straight, plant their feet and support their wrists on a table. Arms are heavy, and Leap Motion only underlines that.
In a way it's proof that a Minority Report future is undesirable; operating a computer with outstretched arms is unnatural and uncomfortable, and an alternative already exists that has worked better and more intuitively since the early '80s. Leap's brand of motion control offers little that a mouse or a touchscreen doesn't, and for now there are few apps to justify the three-dimensional depth the sensor allows. The question Leap Motion raises is whether desktop motion control was desirable in the first place.
LeapMotion games – our verdict
Publisher: Double Fine Price: Free
Free for now, the standout game on the Airspace Store is the clearest demonstration of Leap Motion's strengths and weaknesses. Dropchord has you dragging a line across icons, triggering musical notes and sweeping a path around obstacles while lactic acid burns your frozen, aching shoulders. Despite such issues, it's the best example of Leap's precision.
Fruit Ninja
Publisher: Halfbrick Price: $3.59
Fruit Ninja seems immediately suited to Leap's motion controls but the visible onscreen cursor rather gives the game away. Its fruit-slicing mechanic makes the game an obvious choice for a motion-controlled port, but it's also perfectly playable without a Leap Motion sensor. The 360 version does a better job of hiding the artifice behind the gesture-based controls.
Sugar Rush
Publisher: Disney Price: $2.39
It looked like Disney had skipped the opportunity to release its own kart racer based on the Sugar Rush game from Wreck-It Ralph, but here it is, late enough and horrible enough for absolutely nobody to care. It's a slow, clumsy effort with stodgy physics and the invisible steering wheel controls that didn't work for Kinect Joy Ride – and still don't work here.
Publisher: Funktronic Labs Price: Free
A ten-minute audioreactive puzzle game that would be Leap Motion's best tech demo if only the gestures it requires were accurately recognised. Kyoto sees you farming stars, strumming Northern Lights, and exploring a simple space with your hands – and does a better job of encouraging players to experiment than anything from Leap's own training apps.
Publisher: Pixel Potato Price: $3.59
The Airspace Store's lineup is reminiscent of the early days of the iOS store, with tech demos extended to full games and countless developers thrilled by control gimmicks. PopPop! is a simple shooting gallery game with pinch-to-shoot controls that, if nothing else, demonstrate a better way to emulate pointing and clicking with a mouse than Leap Motion's own solution.
Serious Slice
Publisher: Curious Bit Price: $3.59
A bizarre port of iOS title Perfect Slice, with objects torn from the Serious Sam universe. Each item must be bisected as close to 50/50 as you can – easy when it's a simple pyramid, harder when it's a butt-heavy assault rifle, and utterly inexplicable in either case. It's perfectly playable without motion controls, and is one of the best games on the Airspace Store.

202 Southwestern Historical Quarterly
with integration, and with the challenges of the post-World War II
Windsor Publications has the reputation of producing very high
quality urban history books. The firm is known for good design and
editing, and for seeking out the best historians of the community to
write the text. David Humphrey is a scholar and a historian. He holds
degrees from Northwestern, Harvard, and Princeton, and he taught
history at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh before coming to
Austin to serve on the archival staff at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Li-
brary. Picture researcher Alison M. Beck, archivist at the Barker Texas
History Center at the University of Texas at Austin, sought every source
of photographs available, and her carefully chosen pictures enhance
the narrative.
The one downfall of all Windsor community history books is the sec-
tion "Partners in Progress." Austin: An Illustrated History contains nearly
one hundred pages of brief histories of local businesses and organiza-
tions, with the fee that is charged the only requirement for being in-
cluded. Amateur historians, who may use this book as a resource in the
years to come, may be led to believe that those represented were the
leading business firms that shaped Austin's destiny in the 198os.

War, Revolution and the Ku Klux Klan: A Study of Intolerance in a Border
City. By Shawn Lay. (El Paso: Texas Western Press, 1985. Pp. xi+ 201.
Introduction, maps, notes, index. $20.)
This is a concise, well-written case study of the Ku Klux Klan in El
Paso during the early 192os. The author, Shawn Lay, explains how and
why the Klan came to that border city and describes and analyzes the
organization's success, failures, and ultimate defeat. Lay argues that the
Klan's birth in El Paso was the result of a local environment shaped by
events and historical patterns dating back to the 188os. In two useful
chapters, Lay provides an overview of El Paso history that emphasizes
how the community's long tradition of social and racial tolerance (par-
tially the result of its relative geographic isolation) slowly disintegrated
in the face of changes brought about by the coming of the railroad,
industrialization, and the subsequent influx of Anglo immigrants. Lay
also explains how ethnic and racial tensions intensified from 1910o to
192o because of the local effects of the violent revolution in Mexico and
the influence of superpatriotic propaganda flowing from American in-
volvement in World War I. This latter development, Lay points out, en-

The market's changing into a BUYER's market, so I've heard today...if you can hold out a bit it'll be to YOUR advantage. Place some of your stuff in storage before you HAVE to move. At least it'll be out of there. Our house was WAY overpriced when I started looking at it, but the seller came down to a price I preferred. I later found out she really had the price jacked up way high (many, many months before I ever saw it). Some people (the relative neighbors) say she was just trying to get back at the family. She offered to sell it to them for 240K. I got it for 138K and paid it off in 2 years, 2 months. I could have paid cash, but wanted to keep some of my funds. Now I have to rebuild the nest egg...at least I'm earning interest now instead of giving it away...
There's a HUGE amount of supply on the market, from everything that the homebuilders have been churning out, to everybody and his mother trying to sell their properties, to speculators who have no interest in holding properties long term. It's going to take a while for all of this to settle out, if he's not budging there ought to be lots of people around who will. And, with mortgage rates coming back down over the past month (yet the housing numbers staying weak), you really are in a very good situation these days.
A good webpage for finding house values is http://www.zillow.com. They compile their data based upon county tax records and recent home sales in the area. Around here, its a little on the low side.
I know there are other houses, we've looked at about 20 or so. The problem here in Richmond is no one has a basement which means I HAVE to have a garage but even garages aren't that common. Then you get into older houses, and houses with no privacy from the neighbors, and houses that you have to paint the exterior and blah blah blah..... I just want this to be over with.
Well, here it is! Offer was made and accepted today! Looks like the inspection should be this Saturday but I need to schedule that tomorrow and get a complete copy of the contract.
Looks good Todd. Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like you'll have a pretty big yard too. Are you going to wait until everything is finalized before saying were it's located? Congrats, I hope all goes well.

• SECTION 5: Nobody bothered to tell Maple Grove freshman Rory Calabria just how pivotal his match at No. 4 singles became in the battle for the section crown.
The No. 1-seeded Crimson played No. 2 seed Mounds View at Irondale High School on Monday in a rematch of last season's section final.
A year ago, Mounds View won, earning its 10th consecutive trip to the state tournament. Monday Calabria, playing in the final match, stopped the streak with a three-set victory that cemented a 4-3 team victory and the Crimson's first trip to the state tournament.
"I thought it was already over, so I just relaxed and played my game," Calabria said.
Zachary Adkins, Charlie Adkins, Sam Hochberger and Calabria swept the four singles positions for Maple Grove. Mounds View won all three doubles matches, two of the victories coming in three sets.
• SECTION 5: Spring Lake Park was down to its final two outs and on the verge of elimination. Emma Humphrey doubled home two runs, pulling the Panthers even with Totino-Grace. Six innings later, Torie Peterson scored on an error as Spring Lake Park pulled out a 3-2 victory in 13 innings in the first round at Rice Creek Park in Shoreview. Peterson opened the 13th inning with a single and scored all the way from first on a throwing error on sacrifice. Winning pitcher Alex Reynolds scattered 11 hits while striking out 10 and walking none ... Senior Kelsey Weimerskirch scored from second on a two-base throwing error with one out in the 10th inning, giving Champlin Park a 4-3 victory over Rogers in the opening round. Weimerskirch opened the inning with a base hit and stole second base. The next batter lined out to the third baseman, who then overthrew second trying to double up Weimerskirch. ... Allie Hable threw a no-hitter, leading Coon Rapids to a 10-0 victory over St. Michael-Albertville. She struck out six and walked two. Rachel Sarette led the Cardinals offense, going 2-for-2 with two RBI and three runs scored.
• SECTION 3: Burnsville scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, breaking a tie en route to a 6-2 victory over Lakeville South in the quarterfinals. Kelly Grove hit a two-run homer and Abby Johnson went 3-for-4, including two doubles, and scored three runs for the Blaze. Lakeville South's Taylor Kerl also hit a two-run homer.
• SECTION 4: Taylor LeMay hit her sixth home run of the season and drove in three runs, leading East Ridge to a 16-1 victory over Tartan in the first round. LeMay went 4-for-4 at the plate. ... White Bear Lake eliminated Mahtomedi 13-0 behind Danni Renner's two-run homer and Molly Sager's two-run double.
• BENILDE-ST. MARGARET'S 1, HOLY ANGELS 0: Seniors Willie Falk and Marcus Barone combined on a no-hitter as the Red Knights shut out the Stars in nonconference play. Falk worked 5 1/3 innings, striking out seven and walking five. Barone earned a save by getting the last five outs, one by strikeout. Benilde-St. Margaret's scored the lone run when John Backes was issued a bases-loaded walk in the fourth inning.
• MISSOTA CONFERENCE: Junior Brenna Lervick shot a career-best 3-under-par 68, winning the eight-team league meet at Deer Run Golf Club in Victoria. Chanhassen also won the team title with a 319, finishing three strokes ahead of regular-season champion Red Wing.

Egyptian Antiquities
From the late prehistoric period to the late Middle Kingdom (circa 3800 - 1710 BC)
This little statuette is one of a series of ivory figurines dated by scholars to circa the Early Dynastic Period. Although most have a tenon beneath the feet, it is not known to what they were fixed, and their purpose thus remains unknown. In the absence of any context of discovery, the probable date of the sculpture has been deduced from stylistic features.
Naked, but Well-Groomed
The young woman stands naked, legs pressed together. Her high breasts are small and rounded. Of the arms, there remain only a few traces where they have broken off: the right would have hung down beside the body, and the left forearm was held across the front of the waist, with the palm of the hand upturned. A bracelet may have adorned the left wrist. The head, which from the front seems to sit directly on the shoulders, is in fact carried on a forward-jutting neck. The hair is styled in wavy tresses, drawn together at the back and secured with a loosely knotted ribbon. This arrangement is not unique: the woman in the cloak has exactly the same hairstyle.
Egyptian Mysteries
The position of the left arm is curious: this gesture, as it were, with the upper arm against the side of the chest, and the forearm held horizontal beneath the breast, would raise the shoulder a little. The sculptor does in fact show the left shoulder a little higher than the right. There are other archaic female figures shown like this: those surviving intact have the left hand cupped, as if holding an object. Yet the hand is empty! In similar statuettes, but of a later date (New Kingdom and Late Dynastic Period), the women are always shown holding an object (perhaps a cat or a bird). Did these archaic statuettes also hold something, perhaps a detachable object that has now disappeared? Or is this some conventional gesture of offering, whose significance now escapes us?
Problems of Dating
Three ivory statuettes (at museums in Philadelphia, Oxford and London) share certain features with the Louvre model. All have heavier breasts, and the hair is different, or even absent. None of the three has the raised left shoulder. The British Museum figurine is the closest stylistically, especially in the slenderness of the body, which already evokes the Dynastic ideal of feminine beauty in the length of the neck, and in the dotted treatment of the pubic area (perhaps to suggest depilation?). Of the three, it is believed to be the latest in date (Nagada II), just before the First Dynastic Period, to which the Louvre statuette is attributed on account of the finesse of the modeling and the subtlety of detail.

Thanks Donna....you nailed it...It's still hangin out |
The colors and velvety texture are so beautiful....makes me feel bad for hating caterpillars and cutworms now! |

I know. I am very careful about putting out anything at all, have endured the leaf cuts this year because I want some pollination going on at night. A lot of the moths are nocturnal it seems. And I'm not well informed about what worms/caterpillars become nocturnal moths. Which reminds me. I must go back out and see if I can catch Mama plantaginea opening her flowers. She skipped last night. I guess a flower as big as hers takes a lot of preparation. |
It just kills me, Mocc, because those caterpillars and cutworms can do major damage in a night or two. Ugh! |

What a magnificent moth!! Thanks for posting a pic of it - truly beautiful. |
OMG so beautiful yet so ugly!!! Its legs remind me of a tarantula!! Uggghhhh..........I would not kill it not to worry. At our family reunion a couple weekends ago we have a huge tent where we sit, have the food set up etc. There would be moths in there trying to get them out and I was the one catching them and releasing them. I don't know if I did damage to one of them though because there was powder in my hand. This one that I saved with the power was a big one for me. NOT like this guy but a good two inches and flutter like crazy, but I didn't want the young teenage young adult males to kill it. When its wings started going, it sat on my hand for awhile, its wings sounded like little motors before it took off. I felt relieved it flew away!!! |

Great pics, mbug. We have at least one of these show up every year, and I've been looking for this year's Polyphemus. Lots of Lunas, too. |
I know nothing about moths except they try to get into the light each time I let my dog out at night. That Luna is beautiful, as is the hosta, please tell me that they don't turn into anything that eats plants! I am having enough trouble with the bunnies in the back yard this year. They live under our shed. I used to say "he" but he is now officially "they". Drive the dog crazy! |

Aren't some moths just gorgeous? I think they get outshone by the butterflies sometimes but they can be just beautiful. I usually just see hummingbird moths around my hostas right now - such odd little creatures but fun to watch zipping around. |
Polyphemus and Luna moth caterpillars eat the leaves of a wide variety of trees, but do not cause any significant damage. The adult moths have only vestigial mouth parts, so do not eat anything, although I believe they can consume liquids. But neither caterpillar or adult moth will harm garden plants. So enjoy, especially the Luna moth, which is now considered to be a threatened species due to habitat loss. I am fortunate to have Luna, Polyphemus, and Cecropia moths on my property, and this is an excellent year for them, I've seen 5 different Luna moths in the last 2 weeks, and several Polyphemus. Some years I'm lucky to see one or two for the entire summer. |

Gorgeous! I had an orange moth on my car the other day. Seems like from this website they're pretty common here, but first time I've ever seen one. |

Great pics. I do see the hummingbird-like moths out here pretty often; very interesting. I'm noticing more Sphinx moths than usual, too. Very pretty insects, in my opinion. Don B. |
Wow, just gorgeous! I surprised a Luna moth a couple of days ago in my hostas. She was just huge! First one I've ever seen, she was amazing and rose up over the house and disappeared. Wish I could have gotten a pic, but didn't even know she was down there in and amongst the hostas. We usually have a lot of hummingbird moths, but I haven't seen any this year. Lots of regular hummingbirds, though :) and more bees than usual. |

Timothy Monahan: Confused in Craig
Monday, January 19, 2009
To the editor:
If you are not part of the solution, are you part of the problem?
I watched the documentary, "Crystal Darkness."
I read the article about the problems with the deer in Craig, wondering why we should get rid of them or have them shot when they have always lived here.
It kind of shows what most of us in town value most, doesn't it? Did that to the Indians, didn't we?
Recently, the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office dropped the charges against an illegal alien who was a known major meth and cocaine dealer here in Craig. There was a problem that I understand.
Do you think it's a concern to ask, what's more important?
Have the deer left their meth and cocaine pipes or needles in the city parks for your young children to find? Is your family, wife, husband, children or significant other as important to you as the minor problem with the deer?
What's the bigger threat? The drug problem in Craig is worse than it ever has been. Think about it - there are likely to be more people doing and dealing drugs in your neighborhood than there are deer. No matter which part of town you live in.
The people dealing the meth and cocaine in Craig are killing your loved ones and degrading all of our lives. Funny thing is, they probably are making better money than most of us.
Most of you are more threatened by the deer than you are the drug dealers. Makes sense, after all, it's probably the deer that are trying to get your children, families and friends hooked on meth and cocaine.
To those of you who choose to turn your backs and look the other way thinking it's just a passing fad, you have no one to blame for your losses but yourselves.
If you think it won't happen to someone you care about, ignore it until it does. After all, it's not your problem yet. Let someone else get involved - it's not your responsibility.
When will we open our eyes?
If you know someone who is dealing drugs, turn them in. If you have a family member or loved one who is hooked on meth or cocaine, get them help. Isn't it about time we started saving some lives around here and focus on what really matters?
You tell me.
Timothy Monahan

Okay...well i'm the confused one now. You just said this in your article-- "Recently, the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office dropped the charges against an illegal alien who was a known major meth and cocaine dealer here in Craig. There was a problem that I understand." So what is the point of turning them in when the DA's office is going to let them go anyhow??
lostyermarbles 6 years ago
Yeh, the illegals should leave themselves and their drugs where they came from, but the deer can stay, don't ya think?? And I am tired of paying for all those illegal's baby's at our expense we need hospital revenue!! The only thing is when is "enough" enough???? Being over ran with them is like to many rabbits... I mean the deer. You need to control the population or they become a danger and a nuisance. Go to Mammoth Springs sometime, they are on the sidewalks, in the parks and there are signs telling you not to go here, there, Wait!! Aren't we paying the taxes??

I grew up with deer in my back yard and my doctor was Dr. Elmer Monahan. Any relation to that great doctor? He sure would be sad to see all the drug problems in Craig. Leave the deer alone and bring back Craig the way it use to be!!!
Lawspecialist 6 years ago
I agree with you free. It's terrible that we racially profile these people but we are not to blame, their "own" people are responsible and as usual, refuse accountability for it. I was appalled when I saw a young man on the front of the paper. Please don't misunderstand. I think it is wonderful and only right he should get his citizenship here, however, if everyone knew what he's done and if he remembers. . . he made his own potholes in his path. I have known this man and his parents since he was still in high school. However, I'm very curious how "honestly" he would answer questions of his journey to citizenship. I know he and his family received foodstamps, wic, AFDC, joined the indigent program receiving free health care, AND he had both of his children as a single man only to marry his wife "after" they were born (receiving assistance of course) knowing well she is here illegally (she was sent back not once but 3 times) and then to parade himself as an honorable citizen? wow, I am taken aback from this! Of course he is not the only one, you have those who go to churches who don't believe in God but will surely stand in line and fill out an application for their children to receive free toys at Christmas. Oh, and least we forget about those who lie to the foodbank about the amount of family members in their household so they can have a big fat, (free) feast at Thanksgiving, or how about the amount of family members they claim on their income taxes which causes them to receive a BIG refund? If you or I did that we would be prosecuted to the fullest of the law. I have translated for these people in court, at hospitals, at law enforcement offices and in stores and had to quit due to morality issues on my part. I'll translate for them, but I will not translate lies. I could go on, however, I wonder if it'll ever change. I've lived here for over 25 years and it just keeps escalating. It was their choice to come here, I say if they are going to live here they must abide by the rules/law just like the rest of us, or leave.
Ray Cartwright 5 years, 12 months ago
Wow, I sure hope we all got the message from childrenofGod that he/she has something against ACET so we can get on with our lives and not have to worry about it and he/she will have time to volunteer to help out the situation.
chidrenofgod 5 years, 12 months ago
Considering the plight of the people that are trapped in the use of these drugs, why does'nt ACET bust the users so they could get them into drug court and get them help? The simple law of supply & demand would suggest that if there were no demand we would'nt have people dealing drugs in our town! But I guess that if you got the people help that needed it there would be no medals to pin on the chests of the ACET team! One has to consider what their agenda is! Are they really concerned about getting anyone help or do they leave the addicts on the street because they don't care about the people, ( just justifying their jobs!). Why don't they get off their butt's and help some people?
chidrenofgod 5 years, 12 months ago
I already have! In many ways! Simply put ACET uses informants that know the users & work their way up the ladder to the main dealers. They then bust them & laeve the people with the drug problem on the street to be used again in the future! This does'nt help the addict in any way & promotes more people to come in and deal when the supply isn't meeting the demand! In the meantime there are people out there that really need help, some past friends of mine! Would gladly pay for them to go to a treatment center out of my own pocket if ACET would get them into the system! Most won't admit they have a problem so it would be up to ACET to care enough to get them the help they need! They have not done that and they have known of these people for at least three years! What does that say about them? I want to help if given the opportunity but have not been given the chance! I care, DO THEY?

PORTLAND — David Dahl, the founder of Dave's Killer Bread, was released from jail Saturday after posting bail, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Dahl was arrested late Thursday after allegedly using his Cadillac Escalade to ram the patrol cars of deputies who responded to a complaint he was acting erratically.
Dahl was arraigned Friday on an assault charge. Defense attorney Stephen Houze described the events leading to the arrest as a mental health crisis.
Dahl had been recognized for turning his life around after spending 15 years in prison. He returned to the family baking business and developed the Portland-area bakery that makes organic whole-grain breads. His story of redemption has been a marketing theme for the company.

Oregon Forest Homeowners' Association
Generations of family and friends in Oregon's forests.
Stewards and conservationists of Oregon's forests.
Preserving and protecting Oregon's Forest Service cabins. Leaving a legacy in Oregon's forests
for the next generation of cabin users.
President's Message...
Oregon cabin owners - below is our good news that the CFA has passed! Also attached is the final version of the Cabin Fee Act [view].National Forest Homeowners
CABIN FEE ACT PASSED BY CONGRESS!The National Forest Homeowners and Cabin Coalition 2 are proud to announce that at approximately 5:00pm EST today, the U.S. Senate passed the Cabin Fee Act along with dozens of other lands bills as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. Having passed the House on Thursday, December 4, the bill will now be sent to President Obama to be signed into law, which is expected to happen in the next few days. This success brings permanent and very welcome permit fee relief to cabin owners all across the country. Ring those bells and break out the champagne!!
This milestone achievement coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Recreation Residence Program on National Forest lands. Passage of the Cabin Fee Act ensures the continuation of the Cabin Program for generations to come with stable permit fees, increased only by inflation, while also protecting the value of cabin-owner improvements.
Passage of the Cabin Fee Act completes more than 7 years of work by the leadership of National Forest Homeowners and its partner organizations in the Cabin Coalition 2: Oregon Forest Homeowners, Washington State Forest Homeowners, Lake Wenatchee Summerhome Assoc., Priest Lake Permittees Assoc., Sawtooth Forest Cabin Owners, and Mt. Hood Forest Homeowners Assoc. These volunteer efforts succeeded due to the generous financial support of tract associations and individual cabin owners who contributed repeatedly in support of the cause.
Our efforts as cabin owners, thankfully received early support from Chairman Doc Hastings (R-WA), our sponsor in the House and Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), our sponsor in the Senate. Both gentlemen and their staffs have been extremely helpful and unwavering in their support and dedication throughout this multi-year effort. Additionally, the Cabin Fee Act was co-sponsored in both House and Senate by many key legislators of both parties, as a result of the overwhelming number of emails and telephone calls from their constituent cabin owners. We strongly encourage cabin owners to express a personal thank you to their Representatives and Senators for acting to secure the future of the Recreation Residence Program. Contact information is provided for this purpose on the NFH website.
Finally, crucial to the drafting and passage of the Cabin Fee Act has been the cooperation and assistance of senior management of the U.S. Forest Service. Early on, the Forest Service recognized the inconsistencies and administrative problems in the existing permit fee process (CUFFA) and the opportunity that the Cabin Fee Act presented to eliminate the cumbersome and expensive appraisal-based fee system. The end result, with the passage of CFA, is a more equitable and efficient system. We are indebted to Chief Tom Tidwell and his senior staff for their unwavering support of the legislation on behalf of the cabin community and the American public.
What Happens Now?Passage of the Cabin Fee Act has an immediate impact on cabin fees for those cabin owners whose CUFFA fee exceeds $5,600. It will take the Forest Service time to develop and issue administrative directions in accordance with the new Act. For those cabin owners with 2015 fees exceeding $5,600, you may consider delaying payment. Please refer to the NFH website for additional information.
Although the Cabin Fee Act is a relatively short and simple piece of legislation, there will be questions about process, implementation, and timing. To facilitate receiving and responding to questions, a CFA Frequently Asked Questions document has been linked to the NFH website homepage, along with a CFA Questions? form for submitting questions. We've also posted an easy to read CFA Summary document, summarizing the key provisions of the bill. Please check the NFH website periodically for updated information.
We are excited and significantly relieved by passage of the Cabin Fee Act and completion of this seven-year-long effort. Our efforts will continue, working in cooperation with the Forest Service to ensure that the CFA is implemented as intended. Thank you all for your persistence, support and commitment to this effort. We could not have completed this journey without you.

Hello, I have been on long term disability from my former large company which is all over the USA. Former company pays my cobra and offers me secondary health insurance.
In 2001, former company required that I apply to Social Security for Disability income and Medicare. I got approved? Is that allowed that Medicare be my primary insurance being that the company has thousands of employees?
The main thing that I am trying to figure out, is there, a standard rule or does my former company decide whether or not my secondary insurance company pays all of the cost of my medical visit if a provider either opts out of Medicare or does not accept assignment with medicare? Or am I responsible for the cost that the opt out provider charges?
My secondary always paid in full for my medical claims when Medicare denied due to an opt out provider based on fair and customary cost based on my zip code. All of a sudden my secondary is now saying no we do not cover the opt out providers cost. Who decides that rule?
I never can get a straight answer from them since each time I call something different is said. My former employer routes these kind of calls to the health insurance company.
Claim Codes: 5M* Medicare pays benefits before your group health plan. Since the patient used a provider who opted out of medicare, we processed this claim after estimating how much medicare parts a and/or b would have covered based on billed charges. The patient is responsible for the difference between the billed charge and the amount paid by this plan.
Who would be the correct decision maker on this issue? Is that true that no matter what my health insurance claims would never pay out more than Medicare's estimated amounts?
Thank you...
