The contemporary park
As automobile travel throughout the country grew dramatically in the postwar period, so too did Yellowstone's annual attendance, surpassing the million mark in 1948 and double that in 1965. This great influx of visitors strained the park's aging infrastructure, and, as part of NPS's Mission 66 system-wide renovation program (1955–66), many of Yellowstone's facilities were refurbished—notably the Canyon Village complex at Yellowstone Falls. In addition, there has been an ongoing program to rebuild and widen most of the roadways in the park to accommodate the heavy car traffic (regular passenger train service ended in 1960). Resource-management policies adopted in the 1970s included strict bans on feeding wildlife (notably bears) and greater regulations on fishing, including prohibiting fishing from the famed Fishing Bridge at the north end of Yellowstone Lake.
A significant event in Yellowstone's more recent history was the great fire of 1988 that charred some two-fifths of the park's forestlands and nearly reached Old Faithful Inn. The forests subsequently have recovered, although areas have been subject to damage by insect pests. Also noteworthy were the reintroduction of wolves in the park, beginning in 1995, and the growth of the wolf population to some 100 individuals in little more than a decade. Annual visits to Yellowstone first exceeded three million in 1992 and have hovered on either side of that mark since then.
Road access to Yellowstone is via entrances in the north, northeast, east, south, and west; a highway also skirts the northwestern portion of the park. The park itself has about 465 miles (750 km) of roads, some two-thirds of which are paved. The road linking the north and northeast entrances stays open year-round, but other park roads close for the winter in early November and reopen between late April and late May. However, those roads reopen to authorized over-snow vehicles between December and March. Yellowstone has extensive facilities for park goers, including nine visitor's centres (only one of which, at Mammoth, is open year-round) and nine hotels and lodges. In addition, there are dozens of dining facilities, service stations, and stores selling food and a variety of other items—most of them concentrated at Mammoth or at locations along the central loop road. All close for the winter, except for lodging and some other facilities that reopen in the Old Faithful and Mammoth areas for the winter season.
A dozen developed campgrounds in Yellowstone are maintained by the NPS or by a private company, and there are more than 300 primitive backcountry campsites that are accessible via the park's roughly 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of trails. In addition, some 15 miles (24 km) of boardwalks are maintained that give visitors access to many of the best-known hydrothermal features. Hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing, boating, and wildlife watching are popular outdoor activities, as are cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter. A noted hike ascends a former automobile road up Mount Washburn in the north-centre of the park and affords spectacular vistas from its 10,243-foot (3,122-metre) summit.

BUSAN, South Korea (AP) — As Dr. Kim Seok-Kwun begins surgery to create a functioning penis for a Buddhist monk who was born female, he is well aware of the unease his work creates in this deeply conservative country. The devout Protestant known as the "father of South Korean transgender people" once wrestled with similar feelings.
"I've decided to defy God's will," Kim, 61, said in an interview before the monk's recent successful surgery to become a man. "At first, I agonized over whether I should do these operations because I wondered if I was defying God. I was overcome with a sense of shame. But my patients desperately wanted these surgeries. Without them, they'd kill themselves."
Kim is a pioneer in slowly changing views on sexuality and gender in South Korea, where many have long considered even discussions of sexuality a taboo. He has conducted about 320 sex change operations over the past 28 years, widely believed to be the most by any single doctor in the country.
Kim said the monk, who underwent 11 hours of surgery, did not want to be interviewed for fear of offending Buddhist believers at his temple. The doctor said the monk has been taking hormone therapy and has been living as a man for a long time.
When Kim first started doing the surgeries in the 1980s, his pastor objected. Friends and fellow doctors joked that he was going to hell if he didn't stop. He now feels a great sense of achievement for helping people who feel trapped in the wrong body. He believes he's correcting what he calls God's mistakes.
"Some people are born without genitals or with cleft lips or with no ears or with their fingers stuck together. Why does God create people like this? Aren't these God's mistakes?" Kim said. "And isn't a mismatched sexual identity a mistake, too?"
A strong bias against sexual minorities persists in South Korea, the result of lingering Confucian beliefs that children should never damage the bodies they received from their parents; a large, vocal conservative Christian community; and past military-backed dictatorships that ignored minority voices.
Sex change operations "are a blasphemy against God and make the world a more miserable place," said the Rev. Hong Jae Chul, president of the Seoul-based Christian Council of Korea. He called Kim's remarks "cursed and deplorable."
Kim, a plastic surgeon at Dong-A University Hospital in the southeastern port city of Busan, specializes in fixing facial deformities. He began doing sex change operations in 1986 after several men wearing women's clothing visited him separately and asked him to construct vaginas for them. The first visitor had already had his penis removed, Kim said.
Kim initially turned them away because he knew nothing about sex change surgery. But he kept thinking about their pleas, studied foreign publications and began performing the surgeries a year later.
His best known patient is South Korea's most famous transsexual entertainer, Harisu, who had Kim officiate at her 2007 wedding to a male singer.

Fantastic tour
Reviewed by: Robert G, October 2014
The ride to Delft was lovely and the town of Delft was so charming. Our only complaint is that we were not given enough time to browse around the city. The choice was to browse or eat lunch, and we chose the latter because of the timing. The factory tour in Delft was terrific, but once again we needed more time to shop at the end.
The Hague tour was interesting and well worth the trip. The tour guide was knowledgeable and was eager to share the history and culture of his country. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to the Netherlands.

Laura Weber's (Communications) article, "Justus Ramsey House, St. Paul" has been published in the Winter 2009-10 issue of Minnesota History. Weber's article looks at the stone cottage that sits off West 7th Street, just a few blocks from the Xcel Energy Center. Originally sitting on 35 acres, the city of St. Paul literally grew up around the two-room Justus Ramsey house, built in 1851.

Renowned evangelist Billy Graham is asking Iran's president Hassan Rouhani for the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini from prison, pointing out that such an action might be perceived by U.S. leaders as a significant step in reducing tensions.
"On September 26, the one-year anniversary of Pastor Abedini's imprisonment, thousands will attend prayer vigils in more than 70 U.S. cities, calling on your country to release this husband, father and servant of God," Graham writes in a letter addressed to Rouhani and published on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website. "I join them by respectfully asking you to release Pastor Saeed Abedini from prison. Such an action would, I believe, have a positive impact in our nation, and might well be perceived by our leadership as a significant step in reducing tensions."
Abedini has been in Evin Prison in Tehran since his arrest last year, and was later sentenced to eight years in jail, supposedly for endangering national security. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) recently launched the largest campaign in its history aimed at sending thousands of letters each week to Rouhani, petitioning for the U.S. pastor. The ACLJ, which represents his wife, Naghmeh, and their two young children in the U.S., says that Iran has targeted the pastor for his Christian faith. more >>
As many as three million people have decided to follow Jesus Christ thanks to the Internet ministry website SearchForJesus.net, The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) reported in a press release on Thursday.
"Historically, we have spread the hope of Jesus Christ to millions through citywide stadium events, and that continues to be a very effective platform. Nothing can replace that," said John Cass, BGEA's Director of Internet Evangelism.
"However, as people – not just in the U.S. but around the world – become increasingly digital, it only makes sense to adapt along with the technology. We've seen a remarkable response by meeting people where they are, at points in their life when they need the Gospel the most." more >>
Several faith-based relief effort crews from the Salvation Army, the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team and Convoy of Hope, a relief organization, have been dispatched to aid victims in several flood-stricken areas of Colorado, after torrential rains inundated a vast majority of the state nearly a week ago.
At least eight people have been killed by deadly flooding that swamped 17 counties, while over 500 continue to be unaccounted for, which state officials say could be an issue of "book-keeping and cross-referencing," according to ABC News. In addition, thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes while nearly an estimated 18,000 houses have been damaged.
Salvation Army response units have been in Colorado for days now and have provided over 10,000 meals to residents while they continue to establish short and long-term evacuation shelters that will remain open for the next 30 to 90 days. more >>
Evangelist Greg Laurie answered critics who have argued that "mass-evangelism," or what can also be described as huge Christian outreach events, are somehow an ineffective way of presenting the Gospel, by posting a list of reasons the method is still relevant.
"Some critics of what we do in the Harvest Crusades would say that 'mass-evangelism' is not really a valid way to reach people," writes Pastor Laurie.
He then explains that Pastor Jarrett Stephens, who is the teaching pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church led by his friend, Pastor Jack Graham, wrote an excellent article about the topic. more >>
Close to 2,000 churches in Canada have signed up to participate in the major "My Hope with Billy Graham" campaign, which will culminate in November, marking the preacher's 95th birthday.
"This type of large-scale event has not been done before, and that's why we're quite excited about the potential for this," said Dave Ingram, director of ministry for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada.
The BGEA website noted that efforts are being made to spread the Gospel from one end of the world's second largest country to the other, reflecting Canada's motto "from sea to sea." more >>
In anticipation of a nationwide evangelism event this November to coincide with his 95th birthday, renowned preacher Billy Graham released a letter through his association this week in which he says that America needs a spiritual awakening more than ever before.
"If ever there was a time this country needed the intervention of God, it is now," writes Graham in the letter published on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website. "We can and should pray for America as a whole, but remember that when God sets out to change a nation, He begins by changing people. It starts with individuals."
Graham said that there are a lot of things that his health and strength no longer permit him to do, but that there are still many things he can do, "and one of them is pray." He writes that he is praying fervently for "a fresh spiritual awakening in America." more >>

More Fresh Sound in 2014
Innovative new music series back at Bread & Salt
Bonnie Wright's Fresh Sound series will be back at Bread & Salt in Logan Heights in the fall with a strong emphasis on improvisation and performances by the Nortec Collective's Ramon Amezcua with Tim Hodgkinson, computer music innovator Neil Rolnick, pianist Thollem McDonas and percussionist Alex Cline.
Here are the details, Bonnie's comments on the musicians, and some background.
Sept. 6: Thollem McDonas, electric piano; Alex Cline, percussion
From Bonnie: "Both musicians approach music as adventurers of the present moment. Percussionist Alex Cline and pianist Thollem McDonas excavate depths of sound and energy. Wonderfully broad in its scope, the art they compose together ranges from the subtle and sensitive to the majestic and cathartic, dynamically immediate in its impact. This evening they will be performing purely improvised/spontaneous music."
From their bios: Cline has collaborated with Vinny Golia, Julius Hemphill, Bobby Bradford, Tim Berne, John Carter, Arthur Blythe, Gregg Bendian, Joseph Jarman, Wadada Leo Smith, Charlie
Haden, Henry Grimes, among others and was a long-standing member of the ensemble Quartet Music.
McDonas works with a range of artists in divergent genres such as West African drumming troupes, Javanese Gamelan ensembles, punk bands, with film makers, dancers, poets and painters. He is the founding director of Estamos Ensemble, a Mexican-American cross border ensemble for musical exchange.
Oct. 10: Neil Rolnick, computer/electronics ("New Music from Old Music")
From Bonnie: "Composer Neil Rolnick will perform an evening of compositions for solo laptop computer. The concert will include Rolnick's pieces from the early days of sampling technology, in the late 1980s, when he first explored what are now called "mashups" of existing music to create new works. It will also include some of his most recent works, which go back and reconsider this approach to composing in the light of 25 years of technological development and the revolution in thinking about sampling brought on by its use in hip hop and other urban musics."
From his bio: Rolnick is a pioneer in the use of computers in live performance and has been based in New York since 2012. Among his commissions: "Gardening At Gropius House" for Juilliard's "Beyond the Machine Festival." It was released in January on CD (his 17th).
Nov. 5: Ramon Amezcua (aka Point Loma/Bostich) electronics; Tim Hodgkinson, clarinet and lap steel guitar.
From Bonnie: "The musicians will each perform a solo set with a duo improvised set. This is the first time they have had the opportunity to work together. We will hear them branching out in fresh, unexpected directions and exploring new territory.
"Ramon Amezcua/Point Loma (aka Bostich with Nortec Collective) will present "BOOMBOX," a project where Amezcua manipulates live the Roland TR-808 and TR-606 drum machines, and the TB-303 synthesizer. When generating musical structures and fragments dynamically Amezcua manages to transit through different styles and eras of electronic music. This historical and stylistic weightlessness is possible because these machines have been used for over three decades, therefore, that its influence has been enormous in the history of music...
"Hodgkinson, in over 40 years' work, has placed himself in a series of definitive projects, whether as cofounder of the seminal Henry Cow group, as saxophonist with influential avant metal band God, or as bass clarinet soloist in the spectral compositions of Iancu Dumitrescu. His lap steel guitar playing remains completely uncategorizeable, bringing subdued and not so subdued echoes of rock musics."

Help how stop Bomb Maker in A Damn Shame mission?
Sams and tanks keep kill me when i follow bomb maker to have be kill him but I cant get through cos SAMS and tanks too many there stop me follow and kill Bomb Maker :( PAINFUL MISSION!!!
help please!!!
I managed finish the level as my Apache was in a death dive after being shot down by the triple A. I fired rockets at the bomb maker as he passed close by and just as my chopper hit the deck (so to speak) and I died the cutscene started. How I managed to get that was to stay high above the triple A rather than heading for the deck to follow the chopper - I also tried to have an intercept heading in front of the bomb makers chopper, i.e. I made my heading aim for where he was flying too rather than where his helicopter was at that moment in time.
As for the next level though - sheesh!
This mission is actually a cakewalk. Heres what I do:
At the start of A Damn Shame, fly "nap-of-the earth". Stay under 250 feet so you are below the structures and the two AA units will have a hard time locking on you. The mountains will also provide good cover. Use all of your Hellfires here as you will not need them again. Take out the structures saving only two hellfires for the 2 AA units. There will be a structure or two left over, don't worry about it and just stay low and continue on.
The last AA unit is pretty nicely camped in a crevice. If your hellfire misses just fly just past him so that he will have to take time to turn his launcher tube around. Hover and cannon. Dead AA unit.
The next section is the big helicopter battle. When I enter the open area and the battle comes into view I hover just above the nearest mountain on the right. Enemy helis will not engage you here since you are too far away. Use your cannon in short controlled bursts and take out a Hind or two this way. It will take a bit to draw a bead on them at this distance but luckily without you over there to engage most are just hovering in place. Your friendlies should handle the rest. When there is only one or two Hind left they will bug out and run.
At this point try to be at about 1400 feet. The cutscene will start and the boss will spawn in his heli. At 1400 feet you can nose down the Apache to gain speed quickly and you should be right on his ass in no time. Launch all four ATA at him when you are within .2 miles or so. Don't get an itchy trigger finger and fire them too soon or he will just flare them off.
This may not kill him but you will be very close to him. Switch quickly to FLIR and it should only take a few quick rounds to finish him off.
I usually finish him off at about the same time the first AA unit is locking a missile on me.
Good luck.

The Company Picnic
But look at what's happening. Exxon and Mobil rejoined in 1998. Earlier, two other massive splinters, Sohio and Amoco, were brought back together when they were purchased by British Petroleum. In other words, the most famous antitrust action of all time--the demolition of Rockefeller's trust--is being rapidly reversed.
While Justice and the FTC have stood by, addled and overwhelmed, there have been record numbers of mergers and acquisitions every year since 1994, topping out last year at a value of $2.5 trillion. Drug companies, banks, high-tech companies, railroads, paper and utility companies, corporations of every brand, seemed eager to tie the knot. Among these were some dangerous concentrations. It seems hardly likely, for instance, that real competition exists among the prime military contractors. A wave of mergers beginning in 1985 left only four: Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman. These three now represent about two-thirds of all military product sales. (Lockheed, a veritable octopus, has swallowed twenty-six other military contractors since 1990.)
Similar domination exists in the tobacco industry, where three companies--Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds and Brown & Williamson--have more than 90 percent of sales sewed up. But they can't compare to Microsoft, which alone controls 90 percent of the world's personal computer operating systems; or Boeing, which, after it bought McDonnell Douglas in 1996, became the only--yes, only--manufacturer of commercial jets in the United States.
Not surprisingly, the biggest mergers are done by those that pour the most money into Washington lobbies, which means the pharmaceutical/health, insurance, oil and telecommunications industries.
Some mergers are done by corporations that simply give the government the finger and dare the regulators to do something about it, as when Citicorp and Travelers merged last year, in clear violation of the Glass-Steagall Act, which for more than sixty years has forbidden banks and insurance companies from owning each other.
As for enforcement of antitrust laws to prevent price-fixing, well, occasionally a big corporation is caught rigging prices and is fined. This happened a few years back, for instance, to Archer Daniels Midland, the planet's largest grain dealer, and it pleaded guilty to rigging prices on two of its products. The $100 million fine was a mere pittance to ADM, which had earned nearly twice that much from the rigged prices; and anyway, it has annual revenues of more than $13 billion from its agricultural products (much of it heavily subsidized by taxpayers).
Even so, Dwayne Andreas, ADM's longtime chairman, complained bitterly, and you can understand why, because Justice and the FTC let most corporations rig the "free" market at will. On that point, Andreas supplies perhaps the most candid appraisal ever heard from a capitalist: "There isn't one grain of anything in the world that is sold in a free market. Not one! The only place you see a free market is in the speeches of politicians. People who are not from the Midwest do not understand that this is a socialist country."
Well, you know what he means by socialism. And when it comes to the coziness between big business and government, he's right. Mokhiber and Weissman have put together a useful survey of some of the disgusting corporate practices that are tolerated by our politicians--who get 80 percent of their campaign contributions from business interests. But the field is so very broad that Corporate Predators just touches the edges. Readers who want to know more about how people are being robbed should turn to other books of the same genre, such as Jim Hightower's There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos, William Greider's Who Will Tell the People, Molly Ivins's You Got to Dance With Them What Brung You, Ken Silverstein's Washington on $10 Million a Day and Steve Brouwer's Sharing the Pie.
The first three books on that list are published by corporate-owned giants HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster and Random House, respectively. More and more, though, populists find a voice only through feisty little houses like the one that did Corporate Predators, Common Courage Press. Be grateful to them.

The Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSR Congress Party) will bag 14 out of the 42 seats in Andhra Pradesh in its maiden Lok Sabha elections, suggest exit polls .
The Indian National Congress (INC), Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) will get seven, nine and eight seats respectively. This is a huge letdown for the INC who had received 33 seats in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections.
According to the exit polls the Seemandhra Pradesh voters are the major contributors for the YSR Congress Party (14 seats) and the TDP (eight seats).
Five of the seven seats of the INC are predicted to come from the Telangana region. The TRS will gain all its eighth seats from Telangana.

On a night when two hard-nosed football teams were happy to exchange blows, the Ozaukee Warriors delivered the knockout punch.Playing in front of their largest home crowd in recent memory, the Warriors capped a festive evening by rallying for a 35-28 win in a slugfest to open the Central Lakeshore Conference season last Friday.Devon Linzenmeyer scored four touchdowns for Ozaukee, including a pair in the fourth quarter that allowed his team to overcome a 28-21 deficit and hand the defending CLC champions their first league loss since 2007.Linzenmeyer, a junior running back, finished with a game-high 106 yards on 26 carries, including the winning score on a 1-yard burst with 3 minutes, 58 seconds to play."This was a really big win for our program," said first-year Ozaukee coach Jim Lippe, whose team improved to 2-0 overall."Cedar Grove had not lost a conference game in two years, and they beat us big the last two years."Ozaukee fans held several events to help fill the stands, including a pregame pig roast and ceremonies that honored local emergency personnel and the Warriors' first conference championship team in 1976.Cedar Grove-Belgium, which had not lost to Ozaukee in eight years, jumped ahead early and scored four touchdowns in the first two quarters on the way to a 28-21 lead at halftime.Hunter Buechler, a junior halfback, scored on runs of seven and 10 yards for the Rockets, who also got touchdown passes from quarterback Travis Obbink.Obbink's 6-yard scoring strike to tight end Jonathan Herzog with just 23 seconds left in the half gave Cedar Grove-Belgium its final lead.However, the Warriors matched each Cedar Grove-Belgium touchdown with one of their own. Besides Linzenmeyer's first two scoring runs (from 22 and two yards out), quarterback Alex Janke threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to Jason Gensrick in the first period.Although the third quarter was scoreless, Cedar Grove-Belgium took a major hit when Buechler left with a leg injury that sidelined him the rest of the game."Losing Hunter definitely hurt us," said Rockets coach Chris Zablocki, whose team fell to 1-2 overall. "We didn't have him on either offense or defense (as a linebacker)."But our other kids stepped up, played hard and made a game of it. We had our chances, but we made too many mistakes."The Warriors took control with a big special-teams play in the fourth quarter.With 8:55 left, Hunter Hess blocked a punt deep in Rockets' territory, and Linzenmeyer recovered the ball in the end zone.Eric Hartnett converted the fourth of his five extra-point kicks to tie the game at 28-28."That was a huge play with a huge momentum swing for us," Lippe said. "It was a big turning point."Ozaukee's defense — which held the Rockets to just four first downs and forced five turnovers — continued to step up late in the fourth quarter.The Warriors' comeback was capped by Linzenmeyer's final score. "We faced a lot of adversity in the first half," Lippe said. "Particularly, we struggled a lot in the first half on special teams."But we came back and gave up no points in the second half."Obbink completed three of nine passes for 71 yards but had three interceptions — by Janke, Gensrick and Steve Street.Lippe singled out the play of defensive end Matt Demler and Josh Paape, the latter of whom "played really well on the O-line and at defensive tackle."The Warriors finished with 330 yards in total offense, including 193 passing and 137 on the ground.Janke completed seven of 14 passes. His top target was Gensrick, a wide receiver who had three catches for 155 yards."Alex showed a lot of poise. He works really hard and does a good job," Lippe said.Buechler led the Rockets' running game with 73 yards on 17 carries.Zach Schulz intercepted a pass for Cedar Grove-Belgium."It was a tough loss for us, but you have to give all the credit to Ozaukee," Zablocki said."We knew it would be a tough game because Ozaukee is much improved. We moved the ball, but they took advantage of our mistakes."The Rockets will try to get back on track this Friday when they host Random Lake in a Parents Night game at 7 p.m.Buechler is expected to miss that game as well as a Sept. 24 game at Sheboygan Lutheran, Zablocki said.Ozaukee will receive a gift win Friday. Stockbridge, the Warriors' scheduled opponent, has forfeited the rest of its season due to a shortage of players.The Warriors' next game will be Sept. 24 at Oostburg.
After struggling through a losing streak that reached five games, the Port Washington boys' soccer team was eager for a reprieve last weekend.The Pirates found one at a home quadrangular despite having a short-handed lineup."I was very proud of the way the guys played," Port coach Mike Bultman said after his squad finished second in the tournament with a 1-0, overtime loss to Madison Edgewood on Saturday."We were missing some of our best players, and they still hung in there with a young, inexperienced lineup."The Pirates opened the tournament with a 5-1 win over Luxemburg-Casco in Friday's semifinals. However, on Saturday they were without forward Danny Karrels and midfielder Marcus Lackovic, a pair of seniors who missed the game due to ACT tests.In addition, defender D.J. Soya and midfielder James Klotz were sidelined with injuries.Despite having to go with an underclassman-heavy lineup, Port battled Edgewood to a scoreless deadlock through regulation. The Crusaders ended the suspense by scoring 30 seconds into overtime."It was a loss, but we did very well," said Bultman, who singled out the play of juniors Alex Bello and Mitch Lemons, sophomore Jacob Setzke and freshman Mason Purtell.On defense, Setzke "stepped up big, and Lemons made some huge saves," Bultman said.The loss left the Pirates with a 2-6 season record.Against Luxemburg-Casco, Port was outshot early but still built a 4-0 lead by halftime.After Karrels scored in the 12th minute, Bello added a first-half hat trick with goals at 17, 32 and 33 minutes.Lackovic assisted on the first two goals, and Karrels returned the favor on the next two.In the second half, Purtell set up another goal by Karrels at 47 minutes."Luxemburg-Casco outshot us, 12-5, in the first half, but their shots were all from far out," Bultman said.In Friday's other semifinal, Edgewood edged Platteville, 2-1, in overtime.Luxemburg-Casco blanked Platteville, 2-0, in the consolation final.Whitefish Bay 6, Port Washington 0The Pirates fell behind early in a North Shore Conference loss to host Bay on Sept. 7.The Blue Dukes held a 4-0 lead at halftime and controlled play throughout the match, Bultman said."They're just more experienced than we are," he said. "They also ran a very complicated offense that was hard to defend."The loss dropped Port to 0-3 in NSC play.This week, the Pirates faced Milwaukee Lutheran on Tuesday and will participate in a four-team tournament at Ashwaubenon on Friday and Saturday.In the first round, Port will play Gibraltar/Sevastopol at 5:30 p.m.Black Hawks deadlocked on roadThe Grafton boys' soccer team rallied for a 1-1 tie in a nonconference game against host West Bend West on Sept. 9.The Spartans took a 1-0 lead in the 71st minute on a goal by Casey Brzeski. However, Grafton answered at 74:53 when Michael Salm found the net on a penalty kick.The teams then played through two scoreless overtime periods."We had five or six decent scoring chances in overtime, but we couldn't finish," Grafton coach Don Arnold said. "It was definitely frustrating."The failure to finish continued a pattern of missed opportunities for the Hawks, who fell to 1-4-4 overall."I just think it's inexperience for us," Arnold said. "It's hard to score in soccer; if it wasn't, every game would be 15-14."We just have to keep working and learning how to improve."Nicolet 1, Grafton 0A 15-10 edge in shots didn't help in the Hawks in a tough North Shore Conference road loss Sept. 7.After a scoreless first half, the Knights got the only goal they needed in the 47th minute.The defeat left the Hawks at 1-2 in the conference after they opened league play with their only win of the season Aug. 24 against Homestead."Against Nicolet, we had plenty of opportunities, but we couldn't tuck any of those shots away," Arnold said.This week, Grafton faced Whitefish Bay on Tuesday and will play in an eight-team tournament at Appleton Xavier on Friday and Saturday.

Breaking Local News
WVU Sets Date for Bidding Rights
West Virginia University is in the process of getting bids for media rights, and the school has set a date for bidders. Those who want to bid for multimedia rights to certain athletic events have until June 18 to respond to a new request for proposals. WVU announced last month it would rebid the contract after a review by the state attorney general's office found "significant errors and sloppiness" in how a previous deal was crafted. This time, the process will be led by Chief Procurement Officer Brenda Mowen. Two WVU Board of Governors members shouldn't have participated in reviewing the bids, but Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said he found "no evidence of intentional wrongdoing."
Magazine Says Charleston Among the Laziest
Men's Health Magazine ranked 100 US cities in terms of their acitivity level for men, and Charleston didn't earn stellar marks. The magazine looked at the number of hiking trails, lakes, skiing opportunities, and other outdoor activities, and found Portland, Oregon to be the most active. On the other end of the spectrum, and the laziest according to Men's Health....Charleston, West Virginia; Nashville, Tennessee; Columbia, South Carolina; Birmingham, Alabama; and Lexington, Kentucky.
Search Warrant Turns up Guns and Drugs
West Virginia State police say the investigation goes back five months, and a search warrant Wednesday turned up dozens of guns and drugs. The weapons were found throughout the home - more than a hundred shoved into every nook and cranny of a convicted felon's house, even under the home. Dorsey Junior Wooline was arrested at the home at 125 Summit Creek near Belle. Troopers think the meth was being shipped to the house from out of state. State police also recovered stolen items at the home, including computers, TVs, and tools.
Jobless Rate Shows Improvement
Good news as the economy continues to improve. West Virginia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for April was 6.6 percent, the lowest it's been in four years. WorkForce West Virginia said Tuesday that's down four-tenths of a percentage point from the previous month. County-by-county figures won't be available for another week or so.
Gov. Tomblin Announces New Tax Commissioner
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has announced the appointment an acting state tax commissioner. The Governor said in a news release that Mark Matkovich brings vast knowledge and experience to the state Tax Department. Matkovich will take over for Revenue Secretary Charles Lorensen, who will succeed the governor's Chief of Staff Rob Alsop when he steps down next month.
Three Identified in Charleston Meth Bust
State police in Charleston have released the names of three people arrested in connection with a meth bust in Charleston on Rutledge Road Monday. 33-year old Earl Myers of Charleston faces several charges including operating or attempting to operate a meth lab, receiving or transferring stolen goods, possession and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Trooper said he was out on bond at the time of his arrest for similar charges. 30-year old Jonathan Harris of Charleston and 25-year old Tina Belcher have also been arrested and charged with conspiracy. About the stolen property found at Myers' home, officers say he told them others traded it for drugs.
Charleston People's Choice Winners Announced
Did you vote in Charleston's first People's Choice Awards? The Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau sought votes using QR codes scanned by smart phones at hotels and restaurants, and online ballots were available to those who wanted to vote with a mouse click. Here's how it all turned out: Mountain Stage is the favorite attraction, FestivALL the favorite event and Taylor Books is the favorite retail store or boutique. Other winners include Pies & Pints for favorite restaurant, Embassy Suites for favorite lodging.
City of Charleston Needs Lifeguards
With the warmer weather comes the opportunity to swim at public pools, adn the city of Charleston needs lifeguards to attend them. So far only 10 people have applied to be lifeguards at five pools, and to be fully staffed Charleston needs about 40. Not finding 40 lifeguards might mean some pools would stay closed this summer, or hours would be shortened. To apply, just go to the city of Charleston's website.
Former Sheriff Sentenced to Prison
A former West Virginia sheriff will spend a year in federal prison. Robert Shirley was sentenced Monday for his role in the December 2010 beating of a robbery suspect, and the U.S. District Judge in Wheeling also ordered 18 months' probation and that Shirley pay his victim restitution totaling $1,850. The twelve month sentence is less than the 33 months recommended under federal guidelines. At Shirley's sentencing, a retired state trooper and three community leaders pleaded for leniency. Shirley apologized for his conduct. The beating of the robbery suspect occurred after a chase through the Eastern Panhandle.
Some Charleston Businesses Will Have to Get Licenses
Charleston City Collector Tonya Cotton is in the process of sending out letters to lobbyists, accountants, doctors and others who need a license to do business in the city. Charleston city council members passed a bill to license these types of service providers on April 15th, and it will cost $20 per year. Wheeling was the first city to charge a fee for a service provider license, and state statute allows all municipalities to do it. The fee can't go beyond $20, because that's the maximum allowed by the state. In order to be issued a license, businesses will have to be current on business and occupation taxes, fees, interest and penalties.

There is something incredibly romantic about all things Irish – the moody weather (rain and all!), the beautiful castles, breathtaking landscapes, dramatic coastal cliffs – I could go on. The ladies from POP THE CORK DESIGNS and CJK VISUALS have demonstrated it perfectly in this shoot that makes you want to jump right into the screen and live in it for a little while.
Jenna from POP THE CORK DESIGNS tells us, "After talking with Caitlin of CJK Visuals and being inspired from her recent European trips, I knew I wanted to do an Irish Inspired Shoot. I've always been inspired by the Irish landscapes, colors, and romance. With this in mind, I dreamt up a color palette that would fit the perfect red-headed Irish bride. With various green tones and a cooler palette, this wedding could happen any season in Ireland.
The florals from the Floral Studio were made of soft blues and greens that accented the Navy Blue TaraLatour gown. The gown, one of my favorite parts of this shoot, perfectly contrasted our model's beautiful Irish porcelain complexion. The Regent at Stonehouse venue reflected a moody atmosphere and the misty sky and deep fog (and a pending snow storm!) perfectly reflected the rainy, but romantic weather often found Ireland.
Sweet horses, hills, and a couple in love- this shoot takes me straight to Ireland and makes me want to plan elopements and weddings in Ireland every season!"
