On Politics, Bureaucracy, and "Glamping" In the National Park System
As a Civil War re-enactor, I often get incredulous looks when I tell people that yes, we actually sleep in those tents, and yes, we actually cook on the fire. And no, they didn't have i-pods or cell phones during the Civil War, so we can't have them either (one of the true joys of re-enacting, if you ask me!).
I can't see how "glamping" is going to solve this problem (and I do see it as a problem).

Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road Open End to End
No word about the renaming effort heard here, but on the other issue, there is a difference between weather and climate. Plus, just because you have one good winter doesn't mean the long-term trend isn't pointing to a warming trend. Frankly, I'd venture that those who are concerned about climate change would be more than happy if the science were wrong.
On Politics, Bureaucracy, and "Glamping" In the National Park System
Boy, that picture says it all! And what is that square thing on the tent directly to the left of the doorway? Is that an AC UNIT???? I went to the site mentioned above, and found that for a mere $200 a night I could get the complete experience in Joshua Tree, only 10 minutes from the National Park. The website states, "you can bring your friends and crank up the amp, or just listen to the silence". Amenities include a spa, fully equipped kitchen, and an iPod docking station! Somebody's making some serious money - clever way of exploiting us lazy Americans. Anybody know how I can get into this racket?
Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road Open End to End
Previous posters need a wake up call and not for Rush Limbaugh. Question, why is there talk about renaming the park because all the glaciers will be completely gone in 20 years???? Oh wait, 1 year we opened late yeah that's right no global warming - too funny...

U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn should be embarrassed along with every member of the state of Oklahoma. Holding our National Park System hostage while he plays politics. You give every good republican a bad name. Step aside and allow TRUE Americans to take over and resue our park system for future generations.
How Far Should You Move a Nuisance Rattlesnake? At Great Basin, Inquiring Minds Want to Know
While working in one of the densest population areas of timber rattlers in the east, we were made aware of the study noted in the above message conducted in North Carolina. We started to relocate rattlers found in visitor use areas much shorter distances. Although we did not have the time to conduct any semblance of a scientific study, it did not seem that the snakes were returning to the high visibility areas frequented by people. I would find it of interest to see a study conducted on the movement of snakes relocated and the frequency that they reappear in areas that are of concern.
Just a thought for consideration by one of those grad students looking for a research topic.

"Bad Times" Aren't Always All Bad – These Two Ideas for "Improving the Parks" Fizzled
Steel also wanted to build an elevator from the Lodge to the lake shore and the NPS director at the time, Horace Albright, called Steel's, within-the-rim, road idea, "chimerical." No doubt, Steel was feeling his oats after having attained money from Congress for the first survey project of a rim road (in 1907) at Crater Lake and then money for construction of the first rim road.
Another notion, just as nonsensical, was pushed by Congressman Charles Porter, of Oregon, for an aerial gondola.....from the rim to Wizard Island in 1959.
Thanks so much Jim. Good job.

Planners In "Wilderness Wal-Mart" Matter Oppose Development on Fringe of Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park
anon 3: Could it be that Walmart is "getting religion"? Or is it the pressure of public opinion? Fear of losing market share is a good motive for cleaning up their corporate act. Good move for locating on land no one else wants. Reclaiming blighted properties is always a good idea, although I think they should have gotten a good environmental hazard assessment before building on a landfill.
Perhaps the answer for Fredericksburg is to bring pressure to bear on the county to rezone the land nearest the park. A buffer area, maybe?

How Far Should You Move a Nuisance Rattlesnake? At Great Basin, Inquiring Minds Want to Know
Thanks for the info, Bob. This is very interesting stuff. When I was a lookout, a massive rattle snake decided to sun on a step directly in front of the door. There were so many living in the splatter rampart the lookout was built on. I caught three and transported them to the bottom of the hill. Kinda bummed to find out this information now, though. While I'm extremely afraid of rattlers, and don't want to get bitten, I also don't want to see them die prematurely. There was an awful woodrat problem at the lookout, too, and they would urinate sticky pee all over the catwalk. Needless to say, rattlesnakes serve an important role in rodent population control.
It Ain't Sexy: Charting The Next Two Decades At Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
You sound like you write copy for the COC;-) Or, more likely, that you love and fully appreciate the islands for what they are and what they offer.
The islands are definitely on my list...sounds like a great place for an extended paddle.
It Ain't Sexy: Charting The Next Two Decades At Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
Excellent mind-boggling post, Kurt. You've made the government-written draft easier to wade through.
While the Islands are some of my favorite places in the world, thinking that they would lose most of their charm and beauty by converting to B&Bs and losing their historic and pristine flavor turns my stomach. I believe the buildings and trails should be rehabilitated, not commercialized.
True, the courthouse in Bayfield is a hike up the hill and land to purchase is in short supply. Finding a place for the NPS interpretive center and its offices will be difficult, but I'm sure it can be done. Ownership would be far preferable to leasehold any old day and would provide a permanent foothold on the land side for generations to come. Remember, many people who visit that area don't necessarily travel out to the islands, but they can garner a wealth of information from a centrally located center.
If you've never been to the Islands, plan a trip. Pick any island, or a few, to explore. Spring through fall are ideal for family visits. Let winter be for the more adventurous. Historically, the Islands human habitation goes farther back than whites care-taking lighthouses. The islands were for a generations summer fishing camps for Native Americans. Ever spent a summer in muggy northern Wisconsin? Then you will appreciate the breezes off Lake Superior, the goosebump, teeth-chattering, shivering delight of the clear lake water for a refreshing dip. The lesser developed Islands are wonderful places just to be. I miss the shush of the water on sand and rocky shores, the wind in the trees, the birdsong, the black sky away from lit towns that allow you to see the heavens.
Leave your gadgets behind. Do cellphones even work out there? No matter. I wouldn't take it anyway.
The Apostle Islands are wonderful little gems. Let's preserve them in their unpolished state.
How Far Should You Move a Nuisance Rattlesnake? At Great Basin, Inquiring Minds Want to Know
I'm not sure what the issue is with Great Basin snakes, but I assume it's similar to problems with longer translocations of nuisance rattlers alluded to in a 2001 study Relocation of Nuisance Rattlesnakes: Problems Using Short-Distance Translocation in a Small Rural Community, which included this information:
Recent studies indicate rattlesnakes released well beyond their home range (LDT) become confused and tend to wander long distances. They apparently attempt to return to their home range where they grew up and knew their surroundings. Many snakes managed with LDT die within a year, unable to adapt to their new environment (Johnson et al. 2000 [massasaugas, Ontario], Hare and McNally 1997 [diamondbacks, Tucson], Reinert 1999 [timber rattlesnakes, Pennsylvania). Other studies indicate translocated snakes' aberrant activity patterns (Nowak 1998 [diamondback and blacktailed rattlesnakes, Montezuma Castle National Monument, Arizona], Sealy 1997 [timber rattlesnakes, North Carolina]). Our own long term studies (11 years) using radiotelemetry near Portal, Arizona, indicate blacktailed rattlesnakes know their home range intimately, seldom range out of it, and frequent the same refuges, hunting sites, and opposite sex meeting locations year after year (Hardy and Greene 1999).
I guess the bottom line here is that longer translocations leave the rattlers extremely upset, confused, and more likely to take lethaly dangerous risks while trying to find their way back to familiar habitat.
"Bad Times" Aren't Always All Bad – These Two Ideas for "Improving the Parks" Fizzled
Tramways aren't always successful, either. One was eventually built at Mt Hood, going from the town of Government Camp up to the famous Timberline Lodge. It was a low budget setup, and used old city buses suspended from a cable as tram cars (really!) It was also a failure, only lasting a couple of years. You can find a couple of old photos of this rather odd contraption at http://www.pdxhistory.com/html/mt_hood.html Scroll down to the end of the page.
How Far Should You Move a Nuisance Rattlesnake? At Great Basin, Inquiring Minds Want to Know
Snakes moved long distances – more than one kilometer (.62 miles) – have survival rates conspicuously lower than those moved shorter distances.
Did any of the studies you read explain why the survival rates drop on longer moves? Thanks in advance.
Rare Fossilized Sea Star Turns Up On Beach at Olympic National Park
"This is indeed fabulous and beautiful and so amazingly unusual." ...Until, on the advice of the Burke Museum (what did they expect the Burke to say?) it was ripped from the rock where it has resided for the last 20 million years or so.
"Bad Times" Aren't Always All Bad – These Two Ideas for "Improving the Parks" Fizzled
Thanks for the interesting piece, Jim. I'd never heard of the Crater Lake tunnel idea before. These administrative histories found on most unit's websites make fascinating reading. I would encourage anyone passionate about their parks to check them out.
Long time employees in the Maintenance Division at Rainier say it is very expensive to keep the road to Paradise plowed during the severe winters, but necessary because Glacier Bridge cannot bear the snowload. That, plus potential damage to the historic Paradise Inn and other infrastructure from the tremendous annual snowfall, make clearing the road daily the cheapest option. Undoubtedly a tram would have had high maintenance costs as well, and probably would not have been able to operate in the frequent strong winds.
What Priorities Should The Next National Park Service Director Address?
I recently joined the National Park Service as a Temporary - working on a special project. I am a retired, senior (70 years old) in extremely good health, have high energy, well educated, held responsible postions in the Industrial World (VP, General Manager of a couple of Global Companies).
To make it short, I work with some really great people, have grown to really appreciate the Park and would like to remain a part of the Park but, not in the volunteer sector.
Due to many circumstances, I do need the income but, more than that, while the public looks on the volunteers as good folks and tolerates them in their jobs, the "internal" family of the National Park Service gives very little respect. About the same as is shown, the "temporary" employees.
I, reiterate, I have thoroughly enjoyed working in the job, the park and with the people but, I do sense a "keep my distance" from the "family".
As I have approached them on the idea of becoming a regular employee - and, offered eveidence of more than ample qualifications, shown a dedication and energy in my work that is equal or more to any of the regular employees, I seem to get a bit of double talk, non acceptance or, in some cases, a tiny level of fear from the thought of having to give a strong opinion.
I am very serious, I have observed, studied, discussed and read every available publication on the job, the duties, the needs and the skills required. Beyond any doubt, I am more than capable of doing any task that is related to the job and, unless some really bad situation occurs, see no reason why I would not be perfectly capable and be able to excel for the next several years.
The bottom line, is, if I had a suggestion to the top ranking official of the NPS, it would be to motivate his people to seek out and recognize willingness, capability, dedication, qualifications, maturity, discipline and, perhaps, some wisdom over simply a fresh face, someone who knows someone, strictly youth (don't get me wrong, youth has many advantages), a friend of the family - and look to the real knowledge that can be offered to the public, the customers that should be provided the best and servioe and highest satisfaction.
Planners In "Wilderness Wal-Mart" Matter Oppose Development on Fringe of Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park
How many do we need? I'll tell you how many we need. We need to keep building them until they stop making money. It is simple if "people" and I am talking the whole population, not just the loud ones, don't want it then it will be built and fail. I know for a fact that walmart would not build in a spot that they expected would lose money. Did our soldiers fight for a walmart... your right they did. That is our way of life in this country, and in many ways this debate, as well as the walmart is a honor to all that the country has to offer.
How far is enough? I cannot build on the border of a park, how about a mile, or 2 miles? Lines on a map are there for a reason. (the cell tower is a more complex issue, we had something around here with a golf driving range that was built next to a drive in theatre,the lights from the golf driving range was ruining the theatre...but I digress) .
How does a Historical neighborhood maintain its character... you have zoning laws, to ensure that the development is compatible with the area. Interesting note on zoning laws, part of what makes Washington D.C. such a wonderful place is that there are no tall buildings to over shadow the monuments. Do you know how they have preserved their atmosphere? There is a law that no structure in the city can be taller that 2 times the width of the widest street the building is on. Simple solution.
Ultimately it falls down to the state and local governments, and from the sounds of it, they are not helping much here.
On a side note, in my area, Walmart built a store as an anchor on a project to reuse the land of a closed steel mill. It redeveloped what could have become a dangerous eye sore and turned it into a valuable resource for the inner city area. (Ohh and they refused to take the HUGE tax credit for building on a abandoned industrial site) They also built a store on a reclaimed landfill, however that store closed when it was determined that the developer screwed up and the store became dangerous.
Surf Is Decidedly Up At Cape Hatteras National Seashore Thanks to Hurricane Bill
Sadly, this ol' "Gnarly Surfer Dude" is land-locked 250 miles from shore, but such is life...
I will add this bit of GREAT news that precedes this storm:
CHNSRA NPS biotechs were able to rescue ~200 pre-emergent/emerging turtle hatchlings prior to the storm surge, as well as relocating several other newer nests to higher ground! Said hatchlings will be released after the storm passes.
Local rental agencies have advised non-residents to leave prior to sunrise on 8/23, as Rt. 12 is expected to overwash during times of high tide in several places along the seashore during Bill's passage through Sunday.
NCDOT Ferry traffic between Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands may also be suspended due to swell levels in the inlet, if necessary.
Bill is expected to be mainly a wave event for CHNSRA, and should be exiting by the beginning of next week. This is the first tropical cyclone to affect the East Coast and CHNSRA in 2009, ending what has been a very quiet spring and early summer Hurricane season.
Upon Further Review: "Where's the Spare?"
Good story, well told. I haven't gotten to your Hey Ranger! books yet, but this story bumps them up the reading priority list!

Angelo had two apologies at our arrival:
- 1st: The "maid" didn´t succeed to clean the house at the day of our arrival. Allegedly she cleaned it up one day before, but it really didn´t seem so.
- 2nd: The door-handle from the bathroom-door was broken. So we had trouble to get out of the bathroom every day.
At first we didn´t care about that.
But!: More than one week later, Angelo claimed a refund over 100$ from us. The reason: We didn´t carry out the rubbish-bags! For information only: the trash-can was already filled up at our arrival and the house was´t cleaned. Although we paid a cleaning-fee!
With hindsight, this procedure smells like deception.
Luckily, even airbnb rejected his claim.
Casa carina e tranquilla...consente di godersi roma partendo da una buona base. La zona mi piace ed angelo è stato cortese e mai invadente..il prezzo poi è vantaggioso insomma la consiglio
Angelo is a pleasant end light-hearted host, and his house is an interesting option to stay in Rome. Nice location, reasonable price, authentic atmosphere, patio! IMHO, not for romatic trip to Rome.
There is a big supermarket 7 minutes away, as far as the metrostation. However, it takes you about all in all 40 minutes to get in the city centre. Besides this, we were very pleased with the place and we were picked up at the metrostation by Angelo!
We would have never found it in the night by ourselfs, as the entrance is in the backyard of a backyard.
Unfortunately we had no acess to the internet; Angelo gave us a password, but it didn't seem to work, that was it. Weekends the nights are, as other guests already mentioned, very noisy!
We also were pleased, that Angelo helped us to get a taxi in the wee hours of the morning for our return flight, as this doesn't seem to be too easy.
I've rented Angelo's place for one week for my family while there were visiting my in Rome. It was definitely worth it's price. Maybe it is a little bit far from the center, by neighborhood is very quite, so you can get nice rest after all day of sightseeing.
The Price/quality is good for this place. The house matches its description. There is a great bakery just 2 minutes away. However, it takes you about 40 minutes to get in the city centre. Besides this, we were very pleased with the place and we were picked up at the airport by Angelo!
Angelo welcomed us into his house and answered all the questions we had. He was always just a phonecall away and even arranged the taxi ride back to the airport (since we don't speak italian). The area is safe and quiet under the week (be prepared for music and chatter after midnight on the weekends). All together, we had a great stay in Angelos home. A good place to stay when in Rome.

Discharge policy not followed?
WRHA to probe if patients were fit to be released from ER
Grace Hospital officials may have ignored an updated patient discharge policy when they released two elderly men last month. Both died a short time later after being sent home by taxicab.
The discharge guideline says in all cases, patients who require assistance with transportation or to get into their homes and remain there safely must have a named and available support person contacted, confirmed and documented by hospital staff before being discharged.
The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority's emergency program safe patient discharge guideline was brought in May 28, 2012, and updated the following November. It was put in place four months after the Jan. 28, 2012, death of Heather Brenan, who was sent home in a taxi from Seven Oaks General Hospital and collapsed at her front door.
Brenan's death will be the subject of an upcoming provincial inquest.
The two elderly men who died last month were treated and released at the Grace Hospital within 24 hours of each other. Each was found dead outside in frigid late-December weather.
David Silver, 78, died Dec. 31 after being dropped off at home by a cab about 1:30 a.m. wearing a coat over his pyjamas and bedroom slippers. He had just been discharged from the Grace emergency room, where he was diagnosed with kidney stones and gallstones and told to see his family doctor.
He had a heart attack moments after the cab pulled away. His housekeeper found him later that day lying a short distance from his front door.
In the other recent death, a man in his late 50s or early 60s -- the WRHA would not confirm his name or age -- was discharged from the Grace about 8:25 a.m. Dec. 29. About 9 a.m., residents in the 100 block of Arlington Street discovered the man lying unresponsive on the sidewalk. The CBC identified him as Wayne Miller and reported he suffered an aneurysm.
Health Minister Erin Selby said Monday the WRHA is investigating the two recent deaths to determine whether the health authority's emergency program safe discharge policy was followed and whether the two men were "medically ready" to be released at a time the city was under a deep freeze.
"We're going to look at the entire circumstance," Selby said. "Maybe we have to talk about what the weather is like and what time of day they're going home and if there is going to be somebody there or if they're going home on their own."
The rookie minister went on the offensive Monday in an attempt to put more focus on the review of the two deaths and to distance herself from comments she made Friday that cab drivers would be given more responsibility to see discharged patients arrive home safely.
"We're just talking about formalizing what many of them are already doing -- an extra pair of eyes watching that person get to the front door," Selby said Monday.
Progressive Conservative health critic Myrna Driedger called Selby's comments on taxi drivers a sign of incompetence, suggesting Selby appeared unaware of Brenan's case.
"It made me think no wonder the health-care system is failing patients if this is the kind of thinking that's coming from a minister of health," Driedger said. "I think she's trivialized the seriousness of the situation. You've got people dying who are frail, vulnerable, elderly seniors."
"Part of what the critical incident review will look at is whether or not those safe discharge guidelines were followed and whether we need to strengthen them," Selby said. "When a doctor determines that somebody is healthy enough to go home, we also want to make sure that there's the support in place when they get there."
Also Monday, WRHA president and CEO Arlene Wilgosh met with two members of the Manitoba Taxicab Board -- chairman Bruce Buckley and Coun. Harvey Smith -- to begin looking at a new policy for cabbies who drive discharged patients home. More meetings are planned over the next few days.
Smith said what's being considered, at this point, is that a driver who takes a patient home will stay outside a residence until the fare is inside.
"To me this has been blown out of all proportion," Smith said. "I think cab drivers should be able to go ahead and stay when they drop someone at their residence, especially when they're dropping someone off from a hospital. They should, in effect, be willing to wait a minute or so to see the person walk up to their door and into their house."
Smith, who uses taxi services several times a day, also said drivers should have no issue waiting.
"They do very little except go from Point A to Point B now," he said. "I think we should reward and encourage those cab drivers to wait until they see the passenger get inside their house. It's reasonable to me."
He said before anything is decided, he wants to know whether the WRHA's discharge policy was followed and whether the two men were in a condition to be released.

Why hasn't the recovery kicked in yet?
Last winter, Karl Smith, an economist at the University of Carolina, was predicting that the United States was headed for a strong recovery in 2012. His logic was seductively simple — there was lots of pent-up demand for things like cars and housing, and that demand was bound to kick in eventually.
Obviously, that never quite happened. Or at least the U.S. economy hasn't received this big, self-sustaining kick quite yet. After a strong January and February (possibly bolstered by a freakishly warm winter), the recovery seems to have stalled out in recent months. So what went wrong? Smith has a long post over at Modeled Behavior trying to explain why his prediction went awry. It's very much worth a read.
In short, Smith's earlier prediction was based on four trends that he expected to take root in 2012: 1) Auto sales would rise because people had gone so long without buying cars that eventually they would have to replace their aging vehicles. 2) The construction industry would finally have to start building new multifamily homes again in response to soaring rents. 3) Local governments would stop cutting back on positions and services — eventually, voters would say "enough's enough!" And 4) natural-gas fracking in Texas's Eagle Ford would accelerate and turbocharge the energy industry.
But, Smith notes, of those four factors, only auto sales have so far seen a kick. "[T]hree of the four major push factors did not materialize on time," he notes. "The good news is that the fundamental dynamics are still there. The bad news is that there is a synergistic effect to all of these things happening at once."
In other words, eventually new homes will get built to supply demand and governments will stop laying off workers and natural-gas prices will recover. But it would've been far better if all of these trends had popped at once. That might have produced a self-sustaining recovery. Instead, the labor market is now growing at a soft pace (as economist Dean Baker notes, that's true even after accounting for the warm winter), and the fragile U.S. economy is quite vulnerable to shocks from Europe and China.
So can anything break the economy out of its current doldrums? If natural forces aren't going to produce a fast recovery, Smith argues, then the Federal Reserve has to step in: "The Fed has to say that it will tolerate more inflation or will be more heavily focused on unemployment. This way folks engaging in long term projects will know that even if the economy picks up they can still expect to experience low financing costs."

All premature infants must be checked for retinal examination. Without proper care, the child may suffer from poor vision for the rest of its life
The last trimester of pregnancy is critical in many ways for the development of vision of the unborn child. There is a network of blood vessels within the retina which grow quickly in the last few weeks of pregnancy and any event that upsets this is likely to have its consequences. Incidentally, all the images that we see are focussed on the retina at the back of the eye, covered in special nerve cells that respond to light.
Explaining what happens when babies arrive early and the risks they face, Dr. Nitin S. Shetty, Head Retina Services, Department of Ophthalmology, Manipal Hospital, Bangalore observes "As in other organs the retina is also not completely developed in a premature baby. In a few babies the retinal blood vessels may develop abnormally causing bleeding and retinal detachment. This is called Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Without prompt treatment, the baby can become blind or suffer from poor vision for life."
While thanks to excellent neo natal care available, survival rates of even very low birth-weight babies and very premature babies have gone up dramatically, it is important to prevent conditions like ROP to ensure survivors lead a full life.
Screening early on therefore is very important. Profiling babies at risk Dr. Nitin S. Shetty adds: "All babies born before 32 weeks of gestation, infants with birth weight of less than 1500 grams and those who have had infections, blood transfusions, breathing difficulties or lack of oxygen must be seen by a Retinal Specialist before day 30. Babies who weigh even lower should be examined at two to three weeks of age."
Most parents however, will recoil in horror at the mention of a retinal examination for such a tiny infant. However, it is a small price to pay to ensure that the child has clear and unimpaired vision. The test is not so much painful as uncomfortable and babies however small, protest at being held down and put through it. But in the hands of a good retinal specialist the entire exercise – dilation of the pupils, administration of anaesthetic drops on the eyes and the examination of the retina with the help of delicate instruments is over fairly quickly (these instruments are necessary to keep the eyes open and facilitate focussing which a distressed baby will obviously not do).
What if the child is diagnosed as having ROP? All is not lost. Says Dr. Nitin S. Shetty: "Most often ROP does not need treatment – but periodic visits are necessary to ensure that the retinal growth is satisfactory and that ROP is in regression. Treatment for such of those babies in whom ROP has progressed is often by means of the LASER and is pretty much like an eye examination."
LASER treatment more often than not, does the job, but in rare instances, despite the LASER or on account of delay in treatment the condition worsens leading to more complicated surgery which comes with risks of higher failure rates and poorer vision. In rare instances a freezing treatment is done to help arrest further growth of abnormal blood vessels and prevent vision loss. Diagnostic equipment like the RETCAM (sophisticated Retinal camera) and injections in the eye for severe cases spell hope.
In conclusion Dr. Nitin S. Shetty says: "All premature babies need regular eye examinations beginning from a few weeks after birth until school going age as 20 per cent of them develop the need for corrective spectacles or might develop squints."

One person is dead after a firefight erupted Monday morning when two people in a car tried to ram a National Security Agency gate at Fort Meade.
Mobile users tap here for photos | Watch afternoon update
The NSA released a statement Monday afternoon saying the driver of the car disobeyed instructions from an NSA police officer and failed to stop shortly before 9 a.m. Authorities deployed barriers at the gate as the vehicle accelerated toward an NSA police vehicle blocking the road.
NSA police fired at the vehicle, which crashed into the NSA police vehicle.
One of the occupants of the vehicle died at the scene. A cause of death was not immediately determined. The other person was taken to a hospital.
One NSA police officer was injured and was taken to a hospital.
The FBI, which is leading the investigation, released a statement, saying, "FBI Baltimore is investigating a shooting incident which occurred this morning at a gate at the National Security Agency at Fort Meade just off (Route) 295 in Anne Arundel County, MD. The shooting scene is contained and we do not believe it is related to terrorism. We are investigating with NSA Police and other law enforcement agencies. Our Evidence Response Team is processing the crime scene, and FBI Agents are doing joint interviews with witnesses. We are working with the US Attorney's Office in Maryland to determine if federal charges are warranted. We have no further information at this time to release."
Col. Brian Foley, Fort Meade garrison commander, released a statement, saying, "The incident has been contained and is under investigation. The residents, service members and civilian employees on the installation are safe. We continue to remain vigilant at all of our access control points."
NBC News is reporting two men disguised as women tried to enter the facility, which led to an exchange of gunfire.
NBC News reported a search of the vehicle, a stolen Ford Escape registered in Maryland, revealed a gun and some drugs. Howard County police told 11 News that the vehicle was stolen Monday morning from a hotel off Route 1 in Jessup.

Macaroni For Kids

07/28/2009 - 01:22
Good recipe. Many children tend to eat frequently through the day as their bodies require. One should not force children to eat more and more like adults do. A child under the age of four or five might eat six to seven times a day. One can give fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain crackers, cheese cubes, peanut butter-cheese sandwiches into daily snacks. Also can try can try a yoghurt shake with fruit of choice. Try to avoid pre-packaged snacks because its unhealthy. One can go for milk-based drinks because it rich in proteins, calcium, iron, also fruit juice will be good.

The Gist
From Our Editors
Designed in 1929 by Michigan Golf Hall of Famer Wilfred Reid?a British immigrant who studied golf-equipment design under Tommy Armour's father, outdueled Gene Sarazen to win the 1924 Augusta Open, and crafted a multitude of courses on both sides of the Atlantic?Bald Mountain's championship golf course spans 6,624 yards of undulating, timber-lined fairways. Though sand traps are sparse throughout the round, the layout counters with obstacles including greenside swales, grassy thickets, and deranged windmills invading from the nearest mini-golf course. Well-manicured greens sit at the end of each hole, providing a fair, true roll for par-seeking putters.
Novice players may prefer Bald Mountain's nine-hole executive course, where seven par-3s ease beginners into the game or allow aces to boost the probability of netting an elusive hole-in-one. Bald Mountain also encompasses a grass-tee driving range, a practice green, and a banquet area that can host up to 250 people for bridal showers, graduation parties, or group therapy meetings for short-irons that feel like drivers on the inside.
Championship Course at a Glance:
- Designed by Wilfred Reid
- 18-hole, par-71 course
- Length of 6,624 yards from the farthest tees
- Course rating of 71.5 from the farthest tees
- Slope rating of 121 from the farthest tees
- Three tee options

Chicago Men's Rink Roller Skates 25 25
very good very good i bought 2 and , i think i will order me 1 too ,,, December 12, 2013
This product is at a reasonable and has great features for us that like to roller skate These skates are the best thing you could ever spend your money on November 26, 2013
Great Roller Skates Bought these for my 9 year old son. Great skates! Awesome fit! The sizing charts on Dick's website were very helpful. Price was competitive and shipping much quicker than the estimate. My son loves them and they're durable for his age and great to learn on! September 6, 2013
product comments My son skates the size 12 came with glue all over the side of course it was there christmas present and there already using it but they love them other than that it dudnt look like they unspected them before shipping out bur i was lazy to ship back November 29, 2012
Bad wheels I bought these just to get back into skating after lots of years...I wore them a grand total of 3.5 hours before the bearings popped out of the wheels...I wanted to get better wheels but they cost more than the whole skates...lol...I guess you get what you pay for...Im going to be stuck using rental skates until I can afford some good quality skates....I will not be purchasing these for my children either they might hurt themselves.... September 29, 2012
these skates are awsome They are great because,you could learn how to skate in them.They also give you a smooth ride on side walks. Just watch out for the cracks on the side walk. August 18, 2012
Very Smooth Skates Rides very smooth in roller rinks. These skates are not very good outdoors on road. They are not very fast wheels and are just a tad bit slow. But overall, i'm happy and impressed with this product April 21, 2012
The best product for low price I love these skates, they were easy to adjust and easy to skate in. I would refer these to everyone. My lover Marcus even ordered a pair after seeing mines. Great product? April 4, 2012
comfortable and economical I have used these skates for many years. I would reccommend a bearing upgrade to an Abec-5 or above. I use my skates for rink only, and I find them quite enjoyable. I am 64 and I do not plan to retire from skating any time soon. March 29, 2012
Enjoyable These skates are great for first time owners. You don't have to worry about the cleanliness of the skates cause they are yours alone. I'm no expert, but I do enjoy the smooth ride and feel of these skates. March 26, 2012

I've been trying to work with MIDI files for the game that I'm making in Java. During the process, I have encountered so many problems, not only because I'm new to this stuff but more so because of the bugs with playing audio files on Mac OS X Lion in newly updated Java. Anyway, right now I'm working with Sequence, which it works perfectly fine except that it's keep getting clipped randomly before it ends. It stops and then continues playing few seconds later.
I have also tried working with
AudioClip, which produces a similar result. (In fact it was worse with the
AudioClip as it sometimes even changed the instruments randomly, which I have no idea why that's happening) Is there any way to please get these MIDI files playing without any problem? I have been searching and asking a lot for this but I still didn't get an answer to this.

MLSE looks to expand TV brands, coffers
With Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment already in the condo business and kicking the tires on English soccer teams, nobody should be surprised that the Bay Street mint is looking to expand its television operations.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
While the MLSE guys didn't come out and say exactly that when they appeared before federal broadcast regulators this week, it isn't hard to read between the lines. Chief Operation Officer Tom Anselmi and broadcast head Chris Hebb made a pitch to have those tight TV regulations loosened a bit and it's not hard to see where this is going.
"Despite all our efforts, despite seeing growth in our businesses we are experiencing the exact opposite," said Hebb, who oversees Leafs TV and Raptors NBA TV. "We have been stalled in our quest to be relevant to the Canadian sports viewer and to contribute to the broadcast industry in general." Hebb pointed at the Internet, specifically the availability of sports video on the Web, as the culprit.
"We don't see that getting better," he said. "The singular nature of our services makes the impact of the I particularly acute."
He called the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to be more open to licence changes and new channels. Anselmi says this is all about MLSE's desire to make a bigger contribution to the broadcasting world.
"We want to be one of those broadcasters that can make a bigger contribution in Canadian content, in Canadian production expenditures, in overall contribution to the system," he says. "If we can expand our niche somewhat, we can be more material."
While neither mentioned making more money, that's really what this is all about, as in the channels aren't making any.
Hebb pointed out that MLSE has spent $34 million on programming since 2001, a hefty investment for little return.
The problem with both MLSE channels is they're pretty limited in scope and not terribly attractive to viewers. Even a deal with Rogers that tripled their reach last fall failed to produce the big ratings boost MLSE was seeking.
The hockey channel has 20 Leafs games and a lot of filler. The Raptors channel has a ton of basketball, but few who want to watch it.
The real downside, though, is that from April to October the cupboard is bare. After all, you can only watch Once A Leaf so many times.
"Expanding the niche" could mean many things, the most likely being merging the channels.
That would give the MLSE channel wall-to-wall sports all winter. Another licence amendment could allow it to carry MLSE's Toronto FC, the MLS and much more in the summer. Asked if such a merger could happen, Anselmi said, "Anything's possible."
How this would all play out isn't quite clear. It might even be good for viewers, offering more sports. It probably wouldn't help others in the business because these things tend to result in higher rights fees.
Either way, you can be sure it'll be a good thing for MLSE.
BUM RAPS: Though regular season ratings were up, the playoffs aren't producing, just as the Raps didn't produce in the first two games. Last Sunday's opener drew only 218,000 on TSN, down 34 per cent from last year, while only 168,000 watched Game 2 on The Score, a 32 per cent drop. . . . First-round Stanley Cup ratings were basically flat, averaging 1.1 million on CBC and 399,000 on TSN. . . . You can watch tomorrow's NFL draft on the NFL Network or tune to TSN's alternate digital feed (Rogers and Star Choice 401, ExpressVu 402) for the ESPN version and a full view of Mel Kiper Jr.'s hair.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Strangest Extra Point You'll See Today [Video]
As if it was not bad enough that your high school football team is already down 37-0, this just added insult to injury.
As if it was not bad enough that your high school football team is already down 37-0, this just added insult to injury.
While teeing off Friday on the 14th hole of The Tour Championship, Rory McIlroy's golf ball missed the mark just a bit.
Pinkies. We all have them. Two, in fact!
They're kind of the left out finger. They don't really do a whole lot other than striking the P key on the keyboard.
But Maibam Itomba Meitei, of India, has come up with another use for his pinkies: pull-ups!
The New York Yankees' Derek Jeter is just so darn charming.
He's in the twilight of his career and will soon be retired, and no doubt on his way to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He's got a pretty good track record, having no real controversies or blemishes on his record. And everyone loves him.
This dad and daughter had a deal: Dad makes a difficult trick basketball shot and he never has to give his daughter another cent for anything!
What could go wrong for the daughter? The shot will be impossible!
Well, maybe not that impossible after all ... .
Unless you have been living under a rock the last 24 hours, you have probably heard by now that the Baltimore Ravens terminated Ray Rice's contract and the NFL suspended him indefinitely after TMZ released the video of Rice punching his wife in the face in a casino elevator back in February.
In case you've been living under a rock for the last week or so, you may not have realized that football is back!
So for the next four months or so, you'll have hours and hours of every weekend and the perfect excuse to not do all of the things you planned on doing all week long.
Now we're only one week into the NFL season, but we already have what could be described as one of the greatest highlights of the year.
After the Cincinnati Bengals cut defensive tackle Devon Still, they re-signed him to their practice squad.
This most likely brings up the question, "Why?"
Well, it was a move made by the NFL team to help Still out.
We know nothing about cricket, so we'll just describe this as if they're playing baseball because that's what it most resembles.
If you're not pro surfers like us, you may not be familiar with the term "shooting the pier."
Shooting the pier refers to a move where a surfer is surfing a wave and actually passes through the structure of a pier that is sticking out into the ocean.
Essentially, it's pretty ridiculous and you have to have massive balls to even try it.
Legendary big wave surfer Laird Hamilton has those balls.
