(KMOV.com) – Some are questioning the Belleville City Council's decision to approve funding for decorative lighting for the city's 200th anniversary celebration.
Alderman Joe Hayden said the city should not have approved the $25,000 project because it has other important priorities.
"I equate this to going on vacation when you've got a hole in the roof. You've gotta fix the hole in the roof. Streets need to be fixed, improve police protection, that's where our priorities should be," Hayden said.
The measure passed 9-7.

Germany has a new holder for the title of "heaviest baby." The jumbo-sized baby Jasleen was born at University Hospital in Leipzig on July 26, weighing in at 13.47 pounds, and measuring 22.6 inches long -- and she was delivered without the help of a C-section. The medical term for babies born weighing more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces is "fetal macrosomia," and heavy babies are often attributed to maternal obesity and diabetes, among other factors. In Jasleen's case, doctors said her size is due to an undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes, reports the German paper Der Spiegel, which adds that both baby and Mom are doing well, though Jasleen remains in the hospital.
So it turns our Taylor Swift was right on the money with her song "22". Check this out.....
A new study finds that people are happiest at age 23 and then again at 69. Researchers say it's because people in their 20s are overly-optimistic about their future and "think that they will be the ones who don't get divorced, who have money and nice jobs and healthy children." Those ideas, however, can lead to misery if dreams aren't fulfilled, which might explain why well-being hits a low in the mid-50s. Fortunately, people get another boost in their 60s, most likely because they've come to peace with lost opportunities.
At 2/1, it overtook the earlier leader among boys' names, George, which is now 5/1 as is Henry – Prince Harry's real name.
Most punters had clearly expected a girl, with Alexandra the favourite at 7/4.
Bookmakers Coral said the royal birth was the biggest non-sporting betting event in the company's history with cash staked on everything including hair colour and weight.
The name the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge choose will set a trend for a generation of babies, with other new parents having a boy anxious to copy them.
James has links to both families, but William already has a cousin called James - the Earl and Countess of Wessex's son Viscount Severn.
George has been the name of six Kings of England and was the Sovereign name of the Queen's father, George VI, whose actual first name was Albert.
It is also one of Prince Charles' middle names.
From Williams's side of the family both his father's name, which the Prince of Wales share with Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, and his grandfather's are likely favourites.
At the bookies however, Charles did not even hit top ten with William Hill, and Phillip-betters will take home 40 times the money if they win.
The Cambridges are also likely to take inspiration from Kate's side of the family, possibly honouring her father Michael, or picking Francis, which is both her father and her grandfather's middle name. [related]
Princess Diana's middle name was Frances, the feminine form of the name, meaning William could honour his mother's memory through his son.
Less likely are older Middleton family names such as Kate's maternal grandfather, who was called Ronald, however Thomas appears several times on both sides of Kate's family.
The announcement that the Duchess was in labour sent punters to the betting shops, and bookmaker Paddy Power said they took £390,000 in bets in the three hours after this morning's news.

College basketball recruiting rankings: Mike DeCourcy's Top 25 players for 2014

College basketball recruiting rankings: Mike DeCourcy's Top 25 players for 2014
Most every summer, six weeks of Mike DeCourcy's life revolve around scouting the next generation of college basketball stars. Scouting is something DeCourcy prides himself in and does incredibly well. After visits to Peach Jam, Las Vegas and Colorado Springs, he's seen the strengths and weaknesses of scores of prospects for 2014.
Here are the top 25 players who passed DeCourcy's very vigorous eye test.
Use arrow keys to navigate
of 25
Jahlil Okafor, 6-11 center
Whitney Young High, Chicago
As he becomes more famous, we'd like to take this moment to remind you his name is pronounced: JAH-lil. It's also important to assert that anyone who tries to position any other player as the top prospect in this class is either trying to fool you, doesn't understand how rare a prospect of Okafor's stature and skill set can be or hasn't seen any of the top prospects play.
Okafor is the best center prospect in American basketball since Greg Oden. He might not have quite the transformative potential Oden possessed before his body was wrecked by injury, but Okafor's size, energy, hands and understanding of how to play all position him to rank among the best big-man prospects of the past quarter century. Playing against older competition in the USA Basketball U19 trials and the FIBA U19 World Championship proved that his penchant for sometimes advancing slowly through his moves is not a weakness, but a strength. The game goes as fast as he wants it to. He is ridiculously skilled with the ball, which is how he came to shoot better than 70 percent in the U19 worlds.
compared him previously to Tim Duncan
. Although he's more advanced at his stage than Duncan was, it's unlikely Okafor would have a higher ceiling. But hey, even if he were a close approximation of Duncan, that'd be a brilliant career.
Okafor and Jones no package deal, just total package
of 25
Tyus Jones, 6-1 point guard
Apple Valley (Minn.) High
There's always going to be the temptation to rank bigger point guards more prominently, but an inch or two or three hasn't really kept Chris Paul from being a dominant NBA player, and it won't stop Jones. At the same stage, Jones has advantages in terms of his perimeter shooting and pure passing skills, although what eventually lifted Paul to preeminence was the work ethic that elevated him throughout his freshman year at Wake Forest and into his sophomore season.
Jones will need to gain strength. That's got to be his first priority as he develops. Adding that to a supreme package of skills and a total grip on most every game he plays will make him genuinely special at the next two levels.
Okafor and Jones no package deal, just total package
of 25
Emmanuel Mudiay, 6-4 point guard
Prime Prep Academy, Dallas
There is no player in this class who offers a better combination of dynamic athleticism and overwhelming size for his position. Given the opportunity to grow his game, he could be a truly extraordinary playmaker, another elite player at what's becoming a loaded position in the game.
Mudiay can completely take over games at the high school level, although he tends to drift a bit too much when he's not motivated to dominate. He has an excellent eye for his teammates' movement and the opportunities presented, although he has yet to gain a complete understanding of how his own actions can creating openings for them. When Mudiay takes control of a game, it's usually because he starts scoring. This will be of somewhat less use in college and the NBA, but it seems logical that when opponents start aiming to stop him, he'll respond by delivering scoring passes.
What Mudiay wants to improve
of 25
Myles Turner, 7-0 center
Trinity High, Euless, Texas
It's hard to remember a high school-age big man with a more varied game. On offense,
Turner has just about every move and technique available
: catch-and-shoot from 3-point range or the foul-line area, a jump-hook, duck-unders, a bit of a Sikma-move into a 12-footer. At the defensive end, he has the bounce to be a productive shot-blocker.
What he doesn't yet have is the leg strength he'll need to become a star-level performer in college or to become any sort of rotation player in the NBA. There's time, though. A lot of his growth has come in spurts, which has made it a challenge to concentrate on adding bulk and strength.
Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Ohio State, Texas and Oklahoma State
of 25
Cliff Alexander, 6-9 power forward
Curie Metropolitan High, Chicago
It seems so dismissive to call him a beast, but it's so hard not to. He's got a huge body for a teenager, muscles everywhere there should be muscles and the athletic spark to carry this impressive specimen above the rim again and again.
Alexander could be a valuable college player based simply on his physicality, but he has continued to work on developing a step-back jumper that can work to expand his offense. Here's something interesting to ponder: Physically, Alexander is superior to Anthony Bennett in terms of strength and lift. Alexander is dramatically greater in terms of intensity and energy. Bennett certainly is a far better long-range shooter. Given that comparison, though, Bennett just got done pushing himself into the No. 1 position in the 2013 NBA Draft. That says something about where Alexander could end up in a year or two.
'War' rages to land Alexander
of 25
Karl Towns, 6-10 power forward
St. Joseph High, Metuchen, N.J.
Ratings elsewhere for Towns are a bit depressed for the simple reason he hasn't spent a ton of time in the arena where players typically are judged: the summer tournament circuit. Not a good enough reason. Towns is big, powerful and extremely skilled. He is an excellent 3-point shooter, not just in pick-and-pop situations but even dribbling once or twice into a shot, a rare skill for a player his size. To become extraordinary, he'll need to show development around the basket, as a defender and post presence.
of 25
Stanley Johnson, 6-6 small forward
Mater Dei High, Santa Ana, Calif.
Is there anything Johnson doesn't do well? He's a high school player with the body of a five-year NBA vet. He's an excellent athlete who plays with high energy. He's got a pretty jump shot that, OK, still needs to become a bit more consistent. He has a high basketball IQ and strong sense of how to lead a team, one reason Mater Dei has won consecutive state titles in California. Johnson is ready to play at the college level now. To become a significant college star, which definitely is available to him, he needs to become a steady 3-point shooter who habitually hits in the 38-percent range.
of 25
Trey Lyles, 6-9 power forward
Arsenal Technical High, Indianapolis
Rating Lyles properly is tricky and involves a philosophical discussion of whether we are judging a player's high school achievements, his college potential or long-term future in the game. Because he's easily one of the very best high school players of this group, and he should produce nicely as a collegian. He's not an exceptional athlete, however, which could limit him down the road. He is as hard-working and industrious during a game as any player in the 2014 class. As a college freshman, he is likely to outproduce several of the players we've ranked in front.
of 25
Justise Winslow, 6-6 small forward
St. John's School, Houston
When watching Winslow, it's darned near impossible not to see him as another Ron Artest (without the sideshow). Winslow is such a winner USA Basketball kept him on the U19 national team over several established college players, and he rewarded that decision by playing brilliantly at the FIBA World Championship. He will immediately function as an elite perimeter defender, and he has continued to develop confidence in his perimeter shot.
of 25
Kevon Looney, 6-8 power forward
Hamilton High, Milwaukee
There is no doubting Looney's athleticism or ability to shoot. A player with his size and his leaping ability could gain a top-20 ranking just on playing hard and above the rim, but he has developed a reliable touch to 15 feet and understands how to make proper use of that skill. He is an excellent shot-blocker because he gets off the floor quickly and is also quick with a second jump. He could stand to be a more physical and alert rebounder, and it surely wouldn't hurt to grow another inch or two.
of 25
Chris McCullough, 6-10 power forward
Brewster (N.H.) Academy
McCullough has a very upright, rigid style that can be read as mechanical, but he has learned to be extremely effective as a defensive rebounder and defender. That's the first thing you want from a big man, and he handles it well. As an offensive player he is more limited; he lacks a true post game, does not have 15-foot range and is most effective on turnarounds from the 6-8 feet. Many young big men struggle to adapt to the Syracuse zone, but his length and toughness should make him effective ahead of schedule.
of 25
Kelly Oubre, 6-7 forward
Findlay Prep, Henderson, Nev.
One possible explanation for why Oubre appeared to be so underrated after standing out at the Peach Jam is that he continues to grow. Rivals.com still lists him at 6-5, and Scout has him at 6-6. But the Peach Jam program was closer to accurate in stating he was 6-7, 197 pounds. Oubre is long, athletic and energetic and can play either forward position at the Division I level.

Rashad Vaughn, 6-5 shooting guard
Findlay Prep, Henderson, Nev.
Unfortunately, Vaughn became one of the few elite prospects we had to scout strictly on video. Watching various tapes, we admired his size for the position, his ability to move to either direction into his shot and his eagerness to find open teammates when available. Is he an elite athlete?

Justin Jackson, 6-8 small forward
Homeschool Christian Youth, Spring, Texas
How many players with such a lean build become truly special players? It's worked for Kevin Durant, but Durant is one of the most overwhelmingly gifted offensive players in the game's history. And he's pushing 6-10. If Jackson were to grow a bit taller, that certainly wouldn't hurt, but he'll also need to develop as a long-range shooter. What he has now is an uncanny touch when lifting his long arms above opponents' heads in the vicinity of the lane. He is a terrific mid-range player who understands how to make his skills work for him.
North Carolina
of 25
Theo Pinson, 6-7 small forward
Wesleyan Christian Academy, Greensboro, N.C.
Each time you watch Pinson, he'll show you something new. He'll hit deep shots, score on quick cuts to the basket, post up or show off his uncommon passing ability. There is every reason to believe Pinson should develop into a high-level defender because of his length and wiry strength, and if he shows he can be a serious deep shooter, he can eventually convert to the shooting guard position at the next two levels.
North Carolina
of 25
Daniel Hamilton, 6-6 shooting guard
Saint John Bosco High, Los Angeles
Hamilton's approach to the game is not to everyone's taste. He is not much for passing the basketball. But what he does well—score from the perimeter—he does better than most players on this list do whatever it is they do best. Hamilton is extremely quick, dribbles comfortably into his shot, can make shots in traffic and excels in transition. Unlike his brother Jordan, who never showed much aptitude for defense, Hamilton could be turned into a high-level defender because of his size and quickness.
of 25
JaQuan Lyle, 6-4 point guard
Huntington (W.Va.) Prep
Our opportunity to see Lyle came when he was not playing with his customary summer team. Though he seemed out of sorts early on and uncomfortable asserting himself, he still managed to be extremely productive playing in multiple events alongside Jahlil Okafor and Cliff Alexander, even leading their team in scoring in a championship-game victory. Lyle has excellent size for a point guard and knows how to run a team.
Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Memphis
of 25
D'Angelo Russell, 6-4 shooting guard
Monteverde (Fla.) Academy
Originally from Louisville, Russell has been committed to Ohio State since June. He combines some of the best qualities of recent OSU perimeter players, with touches of Jon Diebler's shooting, David Lighty's toughness and Evan Turner's versatility. Russell is a lefty, which can be an advantage because defenders don't see that as much.
Ohio State
of 25
Josh Perkins, 6-2 point guard
Huntington (W.Va.) Prep
Perkins' summer was cut short by a back injury that occurred in June, but he is a sensational passer who reads defenses well and is extremely adept and setting up defenders, getting them off balance and then pulling up for jump shots. He'll need to grow stronger and also show that he can push the ball hard in transition against college-level defenders.
of 25
Dion Wiley, 6-4 shooting guard
Potomac High, Oxon Hill, Md.
We are higher on Wiley than most everyone, but his talent just exploded off the court each time we watched him. He is a superior shot-maker, is tough enough to finish at the rim and has a genuine intelligence about how to play the game. Committed to Maryland since June, Wiley comes from the Team Takeover summer program, which has produced well-coached, humble players including Jerian Grant, Victor Oladipo and James Robinson.
of 25
Elbert Robinson, 6-11 center
Lakeview Centennial High, Garland, Texas
Let's be honest about this: A player of Robinson's size is going to be viewed skeptically, given the disaster that developed with Josh Smith at UCLA. Robinson is not as overweight as Smith, but neither is it likely that he weighs the 260 or 270 pounds listed for him. If he pays any attention at all to his conditioning, though, Robinson will become an amazing pro prospect. He is huge, reads the game beautifully, can finish with either hand and aggressively blocks shots even without great lift. Others rank him as low as the 50s, or not at all. Don't be surprised if he's the steal of the class.
of 25
Craig Victor, 6-8 power forward
Findlay Prep, Henderson, Nev.
Like most high school frontcourt players, Victor long has enjoyed the advantage of being taller and stronger than typical opponents. He is a clever scorer in and around the lane. But to become a serious contributor as his career progresses, he'll need either to continue to develop his perimeter shot or become a hungry, rebound-first/last/always sort of player.
of 25
Tyler Ulis, 5-9 point guard
Marian Catholic High, Chicago Heights, Ill.
Some will downgrade Ulis because of his size, and it's likely that lack of height will lead to him playing in college longer than a lot of players on this list. OK, so the downside is that Ulis will start four years, score 1,500 points and pass for 800 assists. That's a problem?
of 25
Joel Berry, 6-0 point guard
Lake Highland Prep, Apopka, Fla.
The first time someone used the word "solid" to describe a basketball player, they only were warming up the term for when Berry would come along. It's hard to imagine anyone fitting it better. He seems always to be in the right place making the right play at the right time. He doesn't dazzle; he makes plays.
North Carolina
of 25
Ja'Quan Newton, 6-4 point guard
St. John Neumann High, Philadelphia
What do you know: another underrated player from Philly. Not sure why this keeps happening, but Newton is better than you're hearing elsewhere. The Miami Hurricanes landed a huge recruiting blow when they surged to grab a commitment from Newton, who constantly makes winning plays and plays for winning teams. Newton is listed by some as a shooting guard, but he can play the point and run a team, and he has a variety of floaters, change-of-pace moves and deep jumpers that make him a challenge to guard.

text: Bought this new Smith 686 yesterday and thought I would post a few pics. She is a handful at about 35 oz. empty but I am quite reassured by the heft of this little beast. She will carry in a Galco "Combat Master" open top holster and will eat 158 grain .357 SJHP ammo. Can't wait to get to the range tomorrow and run a few down the tube. I bet she's a real flame thrower.

We should not be condemning Miami for at least trying to provide the Marlins a new home but rather focus on Strouse and Eastman's funding idea for a Broward ballpark. Raising the bed tax on tourists would help to build not only the ballpark but also could help to fund other tourist-related projects and amenities. Why not raise these taxes 2 percent or more to provide an additional resource for non-ballpark-related projects?
Have you been to Houston lately? These taxes run 17 percent, the nation's highest. I say 7 percent is more than a fair sum. The Fort Lauderdale/Lockhart Stadium on city-owned land is currently being underutilized and sits at the midway point for all of South Florida. A nearby Tri-Rail station could boost ridership and provide a means for all South Floridians to find the way to a new ballpark. The Marlins' World Series victory remains in the hearts and minds of all South Floridians. Let's combine this synergy and take your ideas out of the print and into the minds of Broward County's leaders. This is the right thing to do, and all Marlins fans would appreciate some action before it's too late. At least Miami is willing to try... Are we?
Thank you, Marlins and New Times.
Greg Jacobson

Was the Marlins kingpin listening? Chuck Strouse and Susan Eastman hit the nail right on the head. Excellent job. Long ago, I told Marlins President David Samson some of the things in the story.
Jamie Duke
Via the Internet
Play the Pro and everybody pays: The ballpark can't work in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or West Palm. The park needs to stay near Pro Player. This location works for Palm Beach and Broward counties as well as Miami and Miami Beach. The "problem" is the commute to the stadium. Universal Studios should build an amusement park near Pro Player and include a retractable-roof stadium. The Metrorail and/or Tri-Rail could bring people to Universal (Islands of Adventure) all year 'round. Universal could outdo Disney World with a great South Florida attraction. Families could either go to the theme park or attend a baseball game. Everyone would be happy. The counties could help pay for a Metrorail extension, which would solve the commute problem. Universal would gets its name on the new stadium and pay for the structure.

How to talk turkey with these turkeys: Thank you for Bob Norman's November 6 article titled "Bad Operation," about the North Broward Hospital District's $100 million taxpayer rip-off. I am outraged at the situation. Could you please tell me what would be the most effective way for a Fort Lauderdale resident/homeowner/taxpayer/voter such as myself to put a stop to this scam?
That would have been great information to put in the article. I would greatly appreciate your input on how I can do my part to stop this deal.
Ron Woods
Fort Lauderdale
Bob Norman replies: The best place to start is to write a letter to district CEO Wil Trower, demanding that he either resign or put a stop to the medical office building deal that will pay a few well-connected developers $170 million over 55 years to construct a $30 million project. Address your letter to his attention at the North Broward Hospital District, 303 SE 17th Ave., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33317.
Another way to be heard is to attend the next NBHD board meeting and demand that commissioners take another look at the deal. It will be held in the second-floor auditorium at Broward General Hospital at 9 a.m. Wednesday, November 19. Get there a little early, sign in to speak, and you will be given three minutes to give the board hell.
Was he pushed, or did he jump? I'd like to thank Susan Eastman for writing the story about Ray Golden ("Death and Doubts," October 30). As a black man living in the United States, I have been most troubled by these hanging incidents that are happening almost on a daily basis in this country. Concerning your story, I am curious as to whether a chair or any other piece of furniture was found on the scene by the police. It stands to reason that Mr. Golden would need something to stand on to hang himself. The other possibility is that he climbed the tree, sat on a branch, put the noose around his neck, jumped off, and snapped his neck in the process. Can you tell me, according to the investigation, which of those two propositions took place?
Eric Oriol
Editor's note: In the police scenario, Golden climbed the tree.
The buyout that keeps on giving: Thanks to Wyatt Olson for his update on the Big Cypress mineral rights buyout ("Buyout Revisited," October 16). Starting an investigation by the inspector general of the Department of Interior is good public policy and will hopefully provide clarity on the methodology and assumptions used in the estimate modeling. The results should provide answers so that Congress can appropriate the correct amount of money. The political questions Olson raised may be beyond the scope of the IG inquiry, but hopefully they will be addressed. Keep watching this issue.

Gas is about 10 cents per hour's usage cheaper than electric, example: Electric stove 1 hour at 350 = 17 cents, same with gas + $6 cents (both approximate.) However, cooking with gas causes white walls, ceilings, white and light colored draperies, curtains and carpeting to yellow, just as a gas dryer does versus electric dryer. Electricity is still a cleaner fuel for home appliance use. Better for pets and people with allergies, asthma, etc.
Whatever you learn to cook on, you will probably prefer, at least for a while.

Kathleen Schmitt Kline
Robert Goolrick
Maureen Daly
David Wroblewski
Set in northern Wisconsin mainly from January-August 1972. Tragedy with touches of Hamlet. Gar and Trudy Sawtelle raise a particular type of dog known for its perceptiveness. Son Edgar was born mute in 1958. His dog Almondine has been his lifelong companion. Gar's brother, Claude, returns to the farm and their sibling rivalry returns. Then Gar dies suddenly, and Edgar has reason to believe that Claude had something to do with it. Trudy becomes ill, so Claude steps in to help with the dogs. A tragedy forces Edgar to flee into the countryside with three of the year-old dogs. After a couple months on the lam, Edgar decides to come back, but the situation ends badly. A long book with lyrical descriptions. Wroblewski was born and raised in Wisconsin.
Patrick Sommerville
Matt and Marissa live near Milwaukee in 1997 and are expecting their first child. Marissa wants Matt to get the antique cradle that her mother took when she left the family. Matt's quest takes him from Sturgeon Bay to Green Bay to Walton, Minn., to Rensselaer, Ind. A second story in the book is set in 2003 and concerns Renee Owen as her son Adam leaves Chicago for the military. The two stories connect. The book includes interesting aspects of family relations, especially because Matt lived his childhood in foster homes. Somerville grew up in Green Bay and received a degree from UW-Madison.
David Rhodes
Set in Wisconsin's southwestern Driftless Area, the book follows several characters. July Montgomery is a drifter who ended up staying and owning a farm. Violet Brasso, in her 60s, who takes care of her invalid sister, Olivia, who has her own ideas and wants. Rusty Smith, retired farmer coming to terms with his impoverished, harsh childhood and who finds a cougar living in his barn. Grahm and Cora Shotwell, farmers with two children who have evidence that their milk cooperative is corrupt. Gail Shotwell, Grahm's sister, an aspiring musician who has been in trouble with the law but at heart is a decent person. Jacob Helm, a widower who lives in a log cabin and runs a repair shop. Winnefred Smith, the excitable young pastor who is dealing with her own difficult childhood. Rhodes wrote a critically acclaimed novel in 1976 and then was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident. This book is his first since 1976. The author lives in Wonewoc, Wisconsin.
Michael Perry
The author of Population 485 continues with his heartfelt and humorous stories of rural Wisconsin life. Perry and his wife, Anneliese, moved to a small farm where they are raising daughter, Amy, along with assorted poultry and pigs. The family gets bigger with the addition of baby Jane. Perry reminisces about his childhood and tells about his adventures in farming. The writing meanders from humorous to nostalgic to tender to thoughtful.
Laurie Moore
Set in 2001-02. Tassie Keltjin is a 20-year-old student at the university in Troy (i.e. Madison). Tassie's family grows gourmet vegetables at their farm in south central Wisconsin. Her brother is struggling in high school and wants to join the military. Tassie takes a job babysitting for Sarah Brink, who owns a restaurant in Madison, and her husband Edward, a researcher at the university. The couple is adopting a biracial girl, Mary-Emma. Sarah and Edward have a tragedy in their past that is revealed. Tassie narrates with a wry satirical tone as she navigates life. The book is funny in some ways but also sad. Moore is a professor at the UW-Madison.
Aldo Leopold
In short but literary passages, Leopold describes nature in Wisconsin month by month. Some editions of this book are beautifully illustrated. Leopold worked as a forester and became a professor at UW. This is a classic that started the environmental movement.
Sandra Kring
Set in 1955 in Mill Town, which is supposed to be in the Milwaukee area. Isabella "Teaspoon" Marlene is 10 years old and for the past five years has been living with her mother Catty's old boyfriend Teddy while Catty chases her dreams in Hollywood. Teddy takes good care of Teaspoon and wants her to be respectable. Their neighborhood is working class, poor and urban. Teaspoon, unwillingly, is included in the Sunshine Girls, where she is matched up with a "Big Sister," Brenda Bloom, from the richest family in town. The two eventually become friends and the story comes to a climax when Brenda is in charge of a show at the Starlight Theater, and Teaspoon's mother comes back. This enjoyable, character-driven story is a heartwarming book with a sprinkling of rough language and situations. Teaspoon is endearing and sometimes annoying. She blurts out what she thinks and is always singing. Kring was born in and lives in Wisconsin.
Kathleen Schmitt Kline
Lake sturgeon are ancient fish that can grow to be 6 feet long and live as long or longer than humans. This book contains wonderful pictures and information about the sturgeon in Lake Winnebago, the people who manage them and those who try to spear them. This book received an Outstanding Achievement award from the Wisconsin Library Association. Kline is a science writer at the UW Sea Grant Institute, Bruch is a sturgeon biologist with the Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources, Binkowski is a scientist at the Wisconsin Great Lakes Water Institute and Rashid (deceased) was a photographer and writer.
Robert Goolrick
Set in northern Wisconsin in 1907. Ralph Truitt is a wealthy businessman living in northern Wisconsin who advertises for a wife. Catherine Land answers the ad, but she is not the missionary's daughter that she claims. Truitt is complicated as well. He has seen the world. This is a dark tale of desperation, despair and remorse. It reminded me of the old movies The Postman Always Rings Twice or Double Indemnity. There is tension in the book. Catherine plans on poisoning Truitt. She has a lover already, and she wants Truitt's money. Yet starting on their first night together, Catherine develops feelings for Truitt. More is revealed about Truitt's first unfaithful Italian wife, his deceased daughter and runaway son. The author says he was influenced by the book Wisconsin Death Trip.
Maureen Daly
Set in Fond du Lac. This is the story of 17-year-old Angie Morrow, who falls in love with Jack Daly, a boy from her hometown. Angie narrates the story, and her three sisters are modeled after Daly's own sisters. Because of this novel, Daly has been credited with establishing young adult literature as a separate category of fiction. Daly grew up in Fond du Lac, and the book contains references to local places.

EVTN Voraxial(R) Invited To Exhibit At 3rd Annual Shale Play And Water Management Marcellus And Utica 2013
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:EVTN) announced today that the Company will display and demonstrate its line of Voraxial® Separators at the 3rd Annual Shale Play and Water Management Marcellus And Utica 2013 : How To Re-Use 100% Flowback Water On The Next Frac And Eliminate The Need For Disposal In The Marcellus And Utica, March 26-27, 2013 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The newly researched, re-developed and action-focused two-day agenda for 2013 provides case studies and technical solutions on all the major aspects affecting costs and recovery from both Marcellus and Utica operators, with representation from E&P executives, senior decision makers, technical experts and strategic professionals.
"The commercial potential of the Marcellus is indisputable, affirmed by recent figures showing Marcellus production doubled in 2012. This figure is remarkable when considering production was almost non-existent in 2008.
With water remaining the most competitive resource in completions during this fast paced development and the tightening of regulations surrounding water usage within Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, water management is ever more, a key competitive driver for E&P companies operating in the region." Quote from show website: www.shale-play-water-marcellus-utica.com Operators can address water management and achieve efficient separation in a very cost-effective manner by utilizing the Voraxial® Separators, whose benefits include small footprint, low energy requirements, high separation efficiencies, ease of installation and operation and no pressure drop requirement. Additionally, since the Voraxial® is compact, complete turnkey systems can be supplied to treat a variety of fluid streams both in remote and centrally located facilities. EVTN is deploying units for the shale oil and gas industry for liquid/liquid, liquid/solid and liquid/liquid/solid separation. EVTN will display various models of its Voraxial® Separator. The Voraxial® 4000 treats flow rates ranging from 100-500GPM. EVTN will also showcase its Voraxial® 2000 Separator (flows ranging from 20-60GPM), and Voraxial® 8000 Separator (flows ranging from 1000-3500GPM). About Enviro Voraxial Technology: EVTN is the developer and manufacturer of the Voraxial® Separator, a unique, patented in-line turbo-separator that provides a cost effective method to efficiently separate large volumes of solids and liquids with different specific gravities and without the need of a pressure drop. The Voraxial® provides highly efficient bulk separation while requiring less space, energy and weight than conventional separators processing the same volume. The Voraxial® is capable of simultaneously separating up to three components, such as oil, water and sand. The Voraxial® can be used as a stand-alone separator or incorporated with other equipment to provide a complete turnkey solution that allows customers to treat a variety of fluid streams while reducing treatment cost and increasing separation efficiency.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

In this Lower Cape Cod fishing report I swung into Coast Guard Beach in Eastham just in time to catch this magnificent sunrise. I can't imagine a better way to start my day.
The sunrises, landscapes and scenery are three of the main reasons why I love fishing Lower Cape Cod. The opportunity for catching some awfully nice striped bass is, of course, a main motivator as well.

USDA estimates 2003 alfalfa production at 78.5 million tons, 6% more than the 2002 amount. Produc-tion of all hay is put at 161 million tons, 6.5% more than in 2002. But rainy weather throughout the eastern half of the country hurt quality through midsummer, then dryness cut late-season yields in some areas.
Three of the hardest-hit states are Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where alfalfa production dropped by 20% or more. Many dairy producers compensated by harvesting higher-than-normal amounts of corn silage, but strong demand for hay is expected in these states.
In most other areas east of the Mississippi River, the late-season dry weather provided plenty of har-vesting opportunities, and alfalfa yields ended up above those of last year. Production was up slightly in the Pacific Northwest, too, but down in the Southwest due to hot, dry weather early in the growing season.
USDA estimates production of hay other than alfalfa at 82.2 million tons, up 7% from last year's figure. Abundant rainfall brought record-high yields in Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. But persistent wetness cut grass hay production in a few states. In the central Great Plains, lack of rainfall in August limited yields, but they remained above 2002 levels.

KC and I drove down to North Carolina this past weekend for some socializing, shopping, and visiting the 35th Annual edition of Charlotte Mini-Con.
We left Saturday morning and stopped off in Durham to go by Books Do Furnish a Room, a comic/used book/used CD store that I first visited 25 years ago. (The same guy is working the register, bless him.) No comics for me there, but I did get a couple of old cookbooks. I love trendy, now-outdated recipe guides as capsules of the culture of a particular time period, in terms of techniques used and ingredients available and eating trends.
Once in Charlotte, we met up with Tim O'Shea for dinner and lots of good conversation. Sunday morning it was off to the show. The Mini-Con was held at the Palmer Fire School building, which had this great, solid, mini-castle appearance. When we arrived right at opening, there was a short line to get in.
I was most excited to chat with these two guests, out of the several there:
Dustin Harbin | Cliff Chiang |
Cliff was busy sketching from the moment he sat down, so I didn't get much chance to talk with him, but I appreciated the time Dustin took to catch up with me. They were up on a stage area, so I turned around and took these pictures of the crowd.
As you can see, the rest of the room was mostly comic boxes on (and under) tables. KC and I did a little shopping, but it quickly became too crowded to easily look through the back issues available, so we left early. Not before we met up with Back Issue editor (and old friend) Michael Eury, though, who was accompanied by his cousin, dressed as an adorable Li'l Deadpool. I was also pleased to meet Rich Barrett, who does the impressive-looking webcomic (really an online graphic novel) Nathan Sorry. I'm going to be catching up on that in some reading.
We then headed out to the nearby store location of Heroes Aren't Hard to Find, who put the show together, and did some more shopping there. The very helpful store clerk dove into a huge stack (seriously, they made a wall and required a wheeled ladder to access) of back issue boxes to find me a couple of indy comics I'd been hunting, the kind of title most dealers don't bring to shows anyway. Then it was off for more used CD and DVD shopping at the immense Manifest Records, where I picked up 14 movies due to their "buy one, get second half-off" sale. I'm already a sucker for $5 DVDs, but if you offer two for under $8, I'm clearly lacking any self-control. If you're in the area and looking for great media deals, check them out.
It was a great, relaxing weekend, aside from the five-hour drive coming back on Sunday night. I'm glad we made the trip.
Update: Tim has posted his pictures, including an adorable one of KC behind the door at the Heroes store.

January 23, 2012 at 11:31 PMGreat blog! I found you through a search for the Mister Bookseller comic. Do you know how I can track down a copy of that comic? Thank you :0)
- gdwcomics Says:
January 24, 2012 at 1:18 PMI want to know what comics, dvds and cds you bought. I won't judge. ;)
- Johanna Says:
January 24, 2012 at 2:08 PMOh, let's see — I got a Perhapanauts collection, because even though I have all the issues, it had extras in the back. And two of the True Story Swear to God Image back issues, because it looks like the second half of that run isn't going to get collected any time soon. DVDs… I remember Moulin Rouge, Some Like It Hot, 12 Monkeys Special Edition (for KC, I think it will scare me), 4th season of Chuck, Dave, Elizabethtown, Girls Just Want to Have Fun (love Orbital Be-Bop!), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Shadow… that's all I recall.

January 29, 2012 at 7:34 AMAnd I'm interested in what cook books you bought, because I do the same when I am on trips.
In a recent trip through Pennsylvania, I picked up an interesting Frigidaire cookbook (1938). On that same stop, I also got two "Big Little" books from the 60s: an Aquaman and a Space Ghost.
One other interesting find I made is an original copy of "The Story of Crisco" (the cookbook Proctor and Gamble gave away for free when they first created Crisco ; the full text is available online).
I've also picked up a few foreign language cookbooks while overseas ; thank God for google translate!
- Johanna Says:
January 29, 2012 at 8:08 AMApparently Amazon has never heard of the Cook It Quick one from 1971, with plenty of kidney and sweetbread recipes and everything flambeed. The other was Keep It Simple, which I haven't read yet. I like 30-minute cookbooks, because I believe food shouldn't take longer to make than it does to eat.
- Jim Perreault Says:
January 30, 2012 at 7:14 AMHere's the 1940 edition of the Frigidaire book I got: http://www.amazon.com/Your-Frigidaire-Recipes-Economics-Department/dp/B005P17FYI/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327925385&sr=1-8 . GM must have been following the Crisco example.
(It's a lot cheaper on Amazon than the place I got it from.)

A Philadelphia-area native, Father Terence Henry, TOR, entered the novitiate of the TOR Franciscans in 1967 and professed solemn vows on June 1, 1972. He was ordained to the priesthood on May 15, 1976. Also in 1976, Father Terence earned a master's degree in history from Indiana State University and a master of divinity from St. Francis Seminary.
Throughout his over 30 years in education, Father Terence has established a strong rapport with both students and faculty, gaining their trust and respect. Father Terence taught history at Bishop Egan High School from 1976 to 1991. He became Bishop Egan High School's principal in 1992 and oversaw its merger into Conwell-Egan High School, serving as its first president from 1993 until 1996 when he transferred to St. Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania. There he served as vice president of Mission and Ministry and taught in the Continuing Education Department. While in Loretto, Father Terence was also postulant director for the TOR Franciscan community from 1996 to 2000.
In August 2000, Father Terence was appointed the fifth president of Franciscan University of Steubenville. A member of Franciscan University's Board of Trustees since 1993, Father Terence had already played a vital role in furthering the spiritual and academic mission of the University--a role that prepared him for the challenges and demands of the presidency.
Father Terence continues Franciscan University's commitment to follow Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In one of his first public acts as president, he took the Oath of Fidelity and made the Profession of Faith required by canon law of Catholic theology professors and those involved in the spiritual formation of students. He also applied for and received the required mandatum from the Bishop of Steubenville in 2001. Each January, he personally leads Franciscan's students in the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.
His leadership helped the University win a $600,000 Fides Et Ratio Grant in 2001, and he has since participated in several Fides Et Ratio colloquia, working with other Catholic educators to promote initiatives in Catholic liberal arts education supported by the twin pillars of faith and reason.
As pastor, educator, and administrator, Father Terence has promoted Pope John Paul II's call for Catholics to influence every aspect of culture, introducing new majors in drama, catechetics, German, sacred music, and legal studies, and a concentration in bioethics for the MA Philosophy Program.
He introduced the Commuter Grant Program, which encouraged and aided more local students to study at Franciscan with their peers from around the United States and many countries.
Father Terence also successfully oversaw the University's re-entry into intercollegiate sports in 2007 as the Barons became provisional members of the NCAA Division III and gained entry into the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference. These affiliations give student-athletes the opportunities they need to transform the secular sports culture with the light of Christ as players and later as parents, coaches, or athletic directors.
The physical campus has more than doubled in size with the purchase of adjacent property bringing the total acreage to 239, allowing the beautification of lower campus along University Boulevard, and ensuring plenty of space for further growth. A new residence hall, the 48,000-square-foot SS. Louis and Elizabeth Hall, opened in fall 2007 as home to 177 students. Apartment-style housing became available for upperclassmen and graduate students when the University purchased a neighborhood adjacent to campus from the Jefferson Metropolitan Housing Authority in 2008
Father Terence undertook the most ambitious capital campaign in the University's history, with a $25 million goal earmarked for student scholarships, a new friary, and chairs in bioethics and catechetics among the top needs. In 2009, the friars moved into their new home, which gives them more room for ministry, outreach, and hospitality as well as a better working and living environment.
With enrollment currently topping 2,400, Father Terence stresses that the focus of the University remains its students.
"The student body of this school in the Upper Ohio Valley is made up of students from 50 states and 15 countries and is very diverse. But they are unified in their desire to serve God and to equip themselves with the skills to live in a secular world and to try to transform the culture. It is exciting that they have kept this goal of contributing to the culture of life and the civilization of love."

Fractional Dimensions
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I have heard that fractals can be described using units raised fractionally. For example, the two-dimensional Mendelbrot set has infinite area, described as m^2, yet zero volume, described as m^3. Some fractional power sy> (say m^2.7) could be used to describe the blank "space" in the set. While fascinating, it seems purely mathematical. Does m^2.7 represent an object existing in 2.7 dimensions; and could we exist and pass through fractional dimensions? Or is 2.7 just a number, unusable by practical physicists?
I have not been working with fractals, but I think that I can give a broad answer to your question. Yes, "fractal dimension" does have a meaningful definition. The dimension tells you, in a sense, just how "fractal" the boundary is. For a two dimensional structure, the fractal dimension tells you how fast the boundary length grows with the area of the structure,
Jack L. Uretsky
In other words, "it is just a number". It has been pointed out, however, that nature seems to like fractals. Many plants and trees seem to follow a fractal branching pattern, and you can imagine that the coastline of a country is really a fractal with no well-defined length. The practical consequence is that you have to say something like "smoothing the coastline on a length scale of 1 mile" when give a length number, because the coastline smoothed to 1 mile is considerably shorter than the coastline smoothed to 1 foot, and considerably longer than the coastline smoothed to 100 miles.

The government says drunk driving related deaths throughout the country are down, but here in North Carolina it's a very different story.
North Carolina saw 60 more drunk driving related deaths in 2007 than the year before, and local officials and bars are trying to make sure they don't see any more this weekend.
Those celebrating the unofficial end of summer can expect to see plenty of police check points. New Hanover County Highway Patrol said drunk driving and speeding will be the focus of their enforcement over Labor Day weekend.
Sergeant J. Holmes said, "We'll be placing a special emphasis this weekend on impaired driving and speeding. Those are the two leading causes of collisions and fatalities in this area."
Local bars say they will do what they can to prevent more deaths this weekend.
Elli Ellsworth, a local bartender said, "We tell our staff and our door guys to just keep an eye on whose coming in, who is leaving, the condition that they seem to be in. It's a real big issue when you have a town such as Wilmington."
Residents say they don't see why the problem is so difficult to avoid.
"I usually either get someone to drive for me or I don't drive," said Keith Leroy.
The real tragedy is people aren't learning from their mistakes. Holmes said, "Apparently people aren't getting the message even though we continue to arrest a tremendous number of people."
New Hanover County Highway Patrol led the state with more than 1,400 drunk driving related arrests last year. This year they are on pace for even more.

Shyster Al plans to take his race hustling gig on the road to Arizona.
Got to love the 80's. Time to get serious. Obama's self professed mentor and "link to the streets" is planning on heading out west to further stir up trouble in Arizona. I never liked Al Sharpton nor Jesse Jackson. They are walking, talking billboards for what is wrong in the black community. Sharpton like Jackson are mere race hustling, poverty pimps. They've never come across a television camera they didin't like nor a corporation they wouldn't try and fleece for some fast cash. So Sharpton believes that some how the illegal immigration law that was just signed into law will violate the civil right's of legal citizens. I've said it before, Sharpton never struck me as being an intellectually sharp guy. I resent him trying to compare the civil rights movement of the 1960's with the "so called plight" of illegal aliens. There is no comparison. Even most blacks don't support illegal aliens coming into this country. It still amazes me how the media still takes this buffoon seriously. When Al does step foot on Arizonian soil, he will not be speaking for blacks but for himself.
I can only imagine the ratings of Sharpton's radio show. Dare I even go there? This is what Al Sharpton is most known for. He stirs up racial animosity and can't even be a man when he is proven wrong. Let me put it another way. Al Sharpton is a racial parasite and a bottom feeder of American society, and he shouldn't be taken seriously or given an ounce of credibility.

R.I.P. Waldo Autry
Waldo Autry 1957-2013. On January 23, 2013 Waldo Autry, a skateboard legend, street luger and the definition of an adrenaline junky passed away. Waldo was a friend to everyone that knew him. He touched the lives of many and his passing away was a shock to everyone who knew him.
Waldo was best known for inventing the kickturn on an invert in the Baldy pipes. He raced in the Signal Hill speed runs and made the cover of many skateboarding magazines. He was always pushing the limits with everything he did. "If they were going to jump over a car, I was going to jump over a garage" Waldo said in an interview with Juice Magazine.
Not only is Waldo well known for skateboarding but he was also a well known street luger. Most people who don't know much about street luging know him for his participation in the Red Bull luge launch in San Francisco.
The skateboarding he did in bowls far exceeded others of his time. Anybody who skateboarded in the 70's would know who Waldo Autry was and anyone who has ever had the chance to meet or ride with the man has a story to tell.
My first time meeting him was at Barrett Junction and it was obvious that he was willing to push the envelope. Waldo only knew how to charge into things hard.
At Barrett Junction I saw him crash twice and both times were crazy. I know he liked the way I told the story of his crash. I was street luging right behind him and almost got tangled up in his wreck with Niko Kroha. "It was probably better to crash there then to make it," Waldo said after I told him my recollections about watching his crash and how crazy it was. I pretty much had first row seats to the crash following right behind him down the hill.
Waldo Autry's crash with Niko Kroha was one of the gnarliest street luge crashes that I have witnessed in person.
Niko was out in front of Waldo, I was right behind them and Tabitha Mitchell was right behind me.
Waldo went for the pass on Niko on the inside. Niko was pretty far inside though and there wasn't much room for him to pass.
Instead of throwing his feet down and braking Waldo was trying so hard to pass Niko two of his wheels left the road for a second. As soon as this happened he got the speed wobbles and wobbled straight through the right hand turn before Docs corner.
As he wobbled through the turn he clipped wheels with Niko causing him to lose his line.
Waldo hit the rock and dirt covered wall at around 45 mph and the wall exploded around him.
After his wheel was clipped Niko was also headed to the dirt and rock wall. As soon as his luge left the road the front dug into the dirt and catapulted him into the wall.
Me and Tabitha Mitchell threw our brakes down because we were right behind them when all this went down and the crash looked pretty intense.
I looked up to the crash scene and waldo was laying on the side of the road not moving. His street luge was flipped upside down on top of him.
Niko was also walking towards Waldo. "Waldo? (no response)…….Waldo are you there?" said Niko.
All of a sudden Waldo started shaking around and shoving the street luge off of himself. "I was just checking everything out, making sure I was alright" said Waldo.
Waldo Autry was a man, a legend and a friend to everyone who knew him. His passing is definitely a big blow to the community but he is a man who will never be forgotten.
The stories about him will live on forever. – Lee

Robert K. Nakamoto, PhD
[Dynamic Data - Faculty Directory ]
P-glycoprotein; Structural biology of membrane proteins (Drug resistance)
There are four main projects in the Nakamoto laboratory:
- Linking functions of the FOF1 ATP synthase. The long term goal is to understand the mechanism of active transport in the multi-subunit FOF1 ATP synthase. This enzyme complex which is responsible for the vast majority of ATP synthesis. The primary focus has been the elucidation of the mechanism that couples the rotation to the chemical reaction of ATP synthesis or the rotation to the electrochemical gradient of protons. These studies seek to understand the molecular mechanisms which determine the efficiency of energy metabolism which is critical to all life processes and often appear as neurodegenerative disorders.
- Mechanism of drug transport by P-glycoprotein. In contrast to the multiple subunit FOF1 ATP synthase, the P-glycoprotein consists of a single large subunit and belongs to an ever growing class of proteins known as the ABC (ATP-Binding Cassette) transporters. Amplification of the P-glycoprotein results in the multiple drug resistance phenotype which is the major cause of failure in chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer. Again, the lab uses genetics and mutagenesis similar to that used for the FOF1 to probe structure-function relationships by genetic, protein chemistry, kinetic and thermodynamic approaches to analyze function-altering mutations, or chemical compounds, which have obvious potential for pharmaceutical applications.
- Structural biology of cardiovascular proteins. In the third project, the lab is collaborating with the laboratories of Drs. Avril Somlyo, John Bushweller, Zygmunt Derewenda, Masumi Eto, Barry Gumbiner, and Zhifeng Shao in studying the mechanisms and structures of the small GTP-binding protein RhoA and its effector proteins, and their roles in the regulation of mammalian smooth muscle. RhoA, a member of the ras super family, regulates vascular smooth muscle contraction, cardiac hypertrophy and formation of stress fibers, and its downstream effector, Rho-kinase, is implicated in hypertension and cell motility including metastasis. They intend to generate the structural and biophysical information required for the development of specific drugs to block or enhance angiogenic and metastatic processes.
- Structure genomics of membrane proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The lab is part of a consortium made up of 15 investigators from around the United States, including Dr. Michael Wiener from the U.Va. Department of Molecular Physiology & Biological Physics. The long-term goal is to develop a genomics approach to the structure biology of membrane proteins, which are the targets of the vast majority of pharmaceutical agents. Despite the importance of these proteins, relatively little is known about their structural biology. The Consortium is carrying out a highly integrated project to development new methods and approaches to increase the structural knowledge of these critically important proteins, which include channels, transporters, receptors, pathogenicity factors and multiple drug resistance transporters. Each of these classes of proteins plays important roles in the biology of cancer. The lab's role in the project is to develop methods to break through the critical bottleneck of membrane protein expression and sample preparation for either crystallography or NMR spectroscopy approaches.
