If you want increase the value of your home, you can always think at a conversion, extension or refurbishment. There are a lot of loft conversions London firms that will change the way your house looks. This will make its value increase and you will also have an extra space for a new bedroom or a party area. Everybody loves lofts, because it gives you the impression of a warm and welcoming place, it can be your relaxing oasis or a place for the little ones to play with their friends. But, before starting the conversion, there are some aspects that have to be taken into consideration and never ignored, because they are concerning legal and safety factors.
- You may need some planning permissions
The roof space cannot be enlarged with more than 50 cubic meters and also, extensions higher or the ones that overhand the initial building are not allowed. These are some specifications in the UK, but the permissions needed and the rules applied are different in each country and can vary even in the same region.
- You have to keep the original aspect of the house and neighborhood
Some conditions say that the materials used have to be the same or similar with the original ones. In historic areas remodeling can be forbidden because the heritage can be destroyed and the region will lose its original appearance.
- Before all, check if it is secure and the house can hold the improved loft
The most important aspect is the security one. The walls and the roofs were initially built to hold just the weight of the roof. You need to know if they need reinforcement before adding more walls to avoid a dangerous situation.

Feeding program tops Grace Poe's priority bills
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO—Sen. Grace Poe, the junior politician who topped the senatorial election on May 13, on Sunday said she was thrilled about starting work in the Senate on Monday, her first day in office.
To fulfill a campaign promise, Poe said she would give priority to a measure that would set a standard lunch program for elementary school pupils, which would be known as "Sustansya para sa bata (Nutrition for children)."
Poe was here on Sunday and spoke at the oath-taking of Pampanga Rep. Oscar Rodriguez, Mayor Edwin Santiago and city councilors.
She described her presence at the Liberal Party event as her first official business as a senator.
The proposed nutrition measure would provide free lunch to malnourished children in conflict-torn, poverty-stricken or highly congested areas of the country.
The bill would task the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), National Nutrition Council, Department of Education and other agencies and groups to enforce the feeding program.
"There's a high percentage of children who drop out of school because they have nothing to eat or food to bring to school," Poe said.
The feeding program is encouraged by the success of the Nutribun, or nutrition-packed bread, which was given to the poor during the administration of strongman Ferdinand Marcos, Poe said.
The proposed program takes off from a DSWD study that states that it takes P15 to provide a nutritious meal to a child and P5 for fare, Poe said.
She said her share of the pork barrel could support the program.
"Did you know that an elementary school in Basilan has only 200 students? Which is why the government can prioritize the areas where this feeding program can be started before the standard lunch is implemented," Poe said.
She said that among the measures on her priority list is the film tourism bill, which would identify places in the Philippines that could be designated as preferred film locations for foreign movie productions.
Poe said the countries where the Hollywood films "Lord of the Rings" and "The Beach" were shot enjoyed a boom in tourism and created jobs.
She said she would also file resolutions to help copra farmers combat pests and would review laws relevant to migrant workers to protect them from exploitation.
Poe said she was grateful for the wide mandate she received at the polls on May 13.

This article is focused on the definition and the function of so-called website inspectors. Let us see how they could benefit you, website owners and how you can get more significant and profitable traffic to your website. Basically, website inspectors are agents of the internet which helps to review websites and check out flaws or anomalies so that a client can be aware of them, get rid of these flaws or errors, and maintain their good rankings in SEO sites.
SEO and your website
The website inspectors are responsible for carrying out the optimization of most websites, they evaluate the sites and then note down possible changes which can replace the flaws in it. That will then make the website more search engine friendly and you'll be able to gain more good traffic to your site as well. These website inspectors also perform thorough analysis of websites by taking a good look of website HTML codes, Alt image tags, META tags, keyword text percentage or weight, web design analysis, download time, etc. The website inspectors differ from one website to another.
Choosing a good SEO company
Everything depends on the style or preferences of SEO companies. Many SEO companies will only want to report and then evaluate the general status of a website, assess their HTML codes, and check out the limited design features of the site. In contrast, website inspectors will offer you detailed reports and evaluates with regards to the HTML codes, they will then check out the aesthetic appeal of the webpage design, and the textual relevance as well.

Alberta's new Education Act was passed in the Legislative Assembly and received Royal Assent on December 10, 2012. In order to meet legislative requirements, 16 proposed regulations have been developed that align with and support the Act.
The 16 proposed regulations are:
- Alberta School Foundation Fund
- Board Procedures
- Borrowing
- Charter Schools
- Disposition of Property
- Early Childhood Services
- Establishment of School Districts
- Home Education
- Investment
- Petitions and Public Notices
- Private Schools
- School Councils
- School Fees
- Special School Tax Levy
- Student Records
- Student Transportation
The regulations were available for public comment—by education stakeholders, parents, educators, and the general public—between December 16, 2014 and January 31, 2015. The comment period is now closed, and we thank all participants for their feedback.
The comments received indicated that stakeholders were generally pleased with how the regulations reflected policy directions, but, in some cases, stakeholders sought clarifications with the regulations.
Government remains committed to moving forward with the legislative processes necessary to approve the regulations and proclaim the Education Act. This involves Bill 19, the Education Amendment Act, 2015, which must be passed before regulations can be finalized. Government also recognizes that school authorities require time to align their policies and procedures with the Act and its regulations, and will communicate updates with stakeholders as they become available.
View the full content of the 16 proposed regulations
Regulatory Review: Background
In April 2013, the Education Act Regulatory Review Committee (RRC) was established to develop new regulations and ensure alignment with the new Education Act. The goal of the Act and, its accompanying regulations is to ensure Alberta's children have the supports and environment they need to succeed.
The RRC was chaired by MLA Maureen Kubinec (Barrhead-Morinville-Westlock)—now Minister of Culture and Tourism—and the other members were: MLA Christine Cusanelli (Calgary-Curry), MLA Matt Jeneroux (Edmonton-South West), MLA Linda Johnson (Calgary-Glenmore), and public member Jim Gibbons (a former school superintendent and a former member of Alberta Education's Inspiring Education steering committee).
Extensive public and stakeholder consultations took place between July and November 2013. The input received helped inform the creation of the proposed regulations.
Bill 19, the Education Amendment Act
On March 16, Bill 19, the Education Amendment Act, 2015, was tabled in the legislature. Bill 19 is legislation that, through a series of amendments will assist in ensuring that the Education Act—upon its proclamation—is successful in: focusing education on the student, supporting educational choice, and enabling school boards to be more collaborative and responsive to their students' needs.
The amendments in Bill 19 are administrative in nature, with the purpose of providing clarity and accuracy, and ensuring alignment with other legislation—including the recently amended Local Authorities Election Act and Education's regulatory review.
The Education Amendment Act, 2015, does not, in any way, change the intent or overall policy objectives of the Education Act. The amendments were identified during the regulatory review process, and amendments of this nature are not uncommon in large, complex pieces of legislation. Regulations can only be finalized once the Education Amendment Act, 2015, is passed.
Bill 10, the Act to Amend the Alberta Bill of Rights to Protect our Children
On March 10, 2015, government passed the Act to Amend the Alberta Bill of Rights to Protect our Children. The amendments—including those to the Education Act—make it clear that school authorities are required to allow students to form groups and activities including gay-straight alliances (GSAs) or queer-straight alliances (QSAs) on school property if students express an interest in forming these peer-support groups.
Welcoming, Caring, Respectful and Safe Schools in the Education Act

BOISE -- Authorities say a 69-year-old man was critically injured when he was struck by a car southwest of Boise while trying to retrieve his dead cat from the road.
The Ada County Sheriff's Office responded to the crash scene just before 6 p.m. Thursday. Doctors say the man's injuries are critical and considered to be life-threatening.
An investigation found the man was in the road to pick up his cat, which had been struck earlier. Officials say there were no street lights in the area and it was dark when the collision happened.
The car's driver wasn't injured. No citations have been issued.
The road was closed for over three hours for the investigation.

FILE - In this June 6, 1998, file photo, Victory Gallop and jockey Gary Stevens (11) edge out Real Quiet and jockey Kent Desormeaux as they cross the finish line to win the Belmont Stakes horse race at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. Desormeaux was criticized for making his move too early, and by the time Real Quiet was a furlong from the finish, Victory Gallop was making its charge at the wire to eventually take the win. As I'll Have Another prepares to attempt to win the Belmont Stakes in his quest to become the 12th Triple Crown champion and first in 34 years on Saturday, June 9, 2012, The Associated Press takes a look at some of the 19 horses who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, but came up short in the final leg of the Triple Crown, and how the race unfolded.

Ask a Chef: What's Your Favorite Sandwich?
While we were pondering the art of sandwichmaking, it seemed only natural to tap our All-Star Chefs—who will be traveling around the country as part of the James Beard Foundation's Taste America culinary tour this fall—for their picks. Below, our top toques fill us in on their favorite sandwiches.
Grant Achatz (Chicago / October 17-18)
"A Potbelly sandwich works. I like the vegetarian with everything on it. It's fresh, warm, delicious, and inexpensive."
Daniel Boulud (NYC / October 10-11)
"My favorite is a Provençal pan bagnat. It's focaccia-style bread with cucumbers, avocado, eggs, olive oil–poached tuna, tomatoes, lemon zest, basil, and olive oil, and then it's pressed. With it I would drink rosé!"

Ask a Chef: Mike Isabella's Culinary Travel Inspiration
For our travel issue of JBF Notes, we asked top toques about their favorite international locales for culinary inspiration. Below, chef Mike Isabella of Kapnos, Graffiato, and G Sandwich in Washington, D.C., shares his picks for Lima, Peru:
Some of the vegetables and seafood in Peru are unlike anything you can get anywhere else in the world. It's so fresh and unique.
Chef Gaston Acurio's La Mar is a really special place. Gaston is one of the most talented chefs in the world, and La Mar was so successful in Lima he opened locations in New York and San Francisco. Memorable dishes include the sea urchin ceviche and the black clam ceviche.
Ayacucho for the coy (guinea pig). Trying it is a really unique experience. It's marinated, then deep-fried for twenty minutes. It's flavorful and falls off the bone.

Ask a Chef: Where to Eat in Hong Kong
For our travel issue of JBF Notes, we asked top toques about their favorite international locales for culinary inspiration. Below, 2014 JBF Outstanding Pastry Chef award winner Dominique Ansel shares his picks for Hong Kong:
Taking a little ferry from Hong Kong to Lamma Island for seafood was an unforgettable experience. Something as simple as shrimp was so sweet and tender and worked perfectly with sliced fresh chiles and soy sauce. And don't forget to try the mantis prawn, or "pissing shrimp," which comes with a mountain of fried garlic.
Dim Sum
Whether you try one of the aged institutions like Lin Heung Tea House, choose a crowd favorite like Maxim's City Hall, or go for the fine-dining Michelin star–rated dim sum in the Four Seasons' Lung King Heen, I really believe that trying fresh-made dim sum can be such an inspiration.

San Sebastián's gastronomic community resonates with a strong sense of pride in regional Basque culinary tradition, from their pintxo bars to some of the world's most famous food destinations. Don't miss:
Bar Zeruko for the amazing array of highly progressive tapas.
The market under the Plaza de la Brecha for the city's finest selection of produce and seafood.
Gran Paladar for the best olives and cured meat in the city. (The family who owns it is the archetype for the city: passionate, kind, hospitable, and warm!)

Ask a Chef: Where to Eat in Lima, Peru
For our travel issue of JBF Notes, we asked top toques about their favorite international locales for culinary inspiration. Below, JBF Award winner Rick Bayless shares his picks for Lima, Peru:
"Lima has all the right components to be a world-class food city: a rich history, incredible ingredients, and ambitious chefs."
Malabar is a great example of modern Peruvian cooking—if you plunked this place down in New York, it'd be the most popular restaurant in town.
El Chinito and La Lucha are two great spots for one of Peru's quintessential eats: the pork sandguches (sandwiches).
If you can get there during Mistura, the huge food festival, you're in for a fine time. When I was there I fell in love with the chancho en palo (boned-out pigs roasted over huge fires), the sparkling ceviches... Read more >
Edward Behr on How to Eat Better in 2014
In his new cookbook, 50 Foods: The Essentials of Good Taste, noted culinary expert Edward Behr guides readers on how to select, prepare, and most importantly, enjoy, some of the world's best foods. To help us get the new year started off right, here are Behr's top ten tips for a delicious 2014. — JBF Editors
1. Eat better apples.
Most of the apples in supermarkets have been picked too soon, and even if they were stored well, they've spent too long in the distribution pipeline and then sat too long in displays without refrigeration. They're not at their best. Instead go to a farmers' market or a store that cares about fruit and offers great varieties with real flavor, such as Ashmead's Kernel, Duchess of Oldenburg, Esopus Spitzenburg, Newtown Pippin, Wickson Crab, Pink Pearl, and Macoun (the best of the McIntosh family). Any of those are good for eating out of hand and are also excellent for cooking.
2. Eat fresher,
Raising the Bar: How to Make Better Cocktails at Home with Audrey Saunders
We tapped the Pegu Club owner and 2013 JBF Gala mixologist to share her tips for better at-home mixology.
Simple Syrup, Simply Put
When it comes to cocktails, we don't want to cook simple syrup; that increases its viscosity. There are exceptions, but we generally don't want heaviness in a cocktail. Fill a bottle halfway with superfine sugar, which is gritless and dissolves instantly. (I like to repurpose 10-ounce glass soda bottles. They're ideal for home use and a speed pourer fits perfectly into them.) Fill the other half with filtered, room-temperature water. Cap and shake well. The mixture will appear cloudy at first but will quickly settle. Top off with more water. When it's transparent, it's ready for use.
Vermouth: Smaller Is Better
Stephen Stryjewski: What is New York Cuisine?
For the New York issue of our member newsletter, JBF Notes, we asked past Best Chef award winners from regions around the country to tell us what cuisine in the Big Apple means to them, and, of course, for their must-visit spots when they're in town. We'll be posting their responses throughout the week. Next up: Stephen Stryjewski, winner of the 2011 Best Chef: South award and chef of Cochon in New Orleans.
What is New York cuisine?
To me New York cuisine is about international flavors. I love to eat at all of the great, well-known places in the city, but my favorite thing to do is eat all of the items that you can't get anywhere else in the U.S., or that are at least not executed as well. I love eating noodles in Koreatown and the adventure of cramming into a tiny elevator that opens into a restaurant full of authentic smells and flavors. I like traveling out... Read more >

What is New York cuisine?
New York City has an overflowing basket of cuisines based on people busting their asses to make it great. It's a place where dreams are made under implausible circumstances, but from them comes something beautiful. The common thread is dedication to working hard and showcasing a most wondrous city. It should always revel in... Read more >

Agnes Scott's women's basketball team began January with a roster depleted by injuries and other attrition, but the Scotties have held it together with a first-year Gwinnett grad as head coach.Former Norcross standout Alex Stewart, despite having only eight players available each night, has her first team 13-8 overall and 6-3 in the Great South Athletic Conference. Its goals of winning the conference tourney and advancing to nationals are still attainable. "I'm very happy here," said Stewart, who was an assistant the previous two seasons at the Decatur school which has less than 1,000 students, all females. "I couldn't have asked for a better situation, a better group of kids. They've worked their butts off. To finish the season with eight kids and a winning record is great." Stewart relies heavily on one Gwinnett grad, Evan Joslin of Greater Atlanta Christian. Joslin, a chemistry major, averages 10.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2 assists and like most Scotties, rarely leaves the floor. Her biggest game came in a 76-70, double-overtime win over LaGrange where she had 30 points, eight rebounds and three assists. "Evan does a phenomenal job for us," Stewart said. "She's a ball magnet. She just gravitates toward the ball. Her hustle and her heart, nine times out of 10, exceeds that of the other team." Stewart has her team playing up-tempo, although she doesn't use the press as much as she'd like because of her lack of depth. The 27-year-old found her way to Agnes Scott after a stellar career at Georgia Tech, where she earned All-ACC honors and was a three-time captain. She also played one season in Keflavik, Iceland. Since returning she has focused on starting a coaching career, one that she hopes will eventually lead to a job at a Division I-A school. But for now she's happy to be learning the trade at tiny Agnes Scott, where she also serves as sports information director. "It's been about what I've expected in my first year (as head coach)," said Stewart, a two-time Daily Post girls player of the year in 1998 and 1999. "The biggest change is all the responsibility falls on me now. When I talk to my ex-head coach, she always second-guessed herself on decisions and I fully understand that now." BASKETBALL Williams scores 1,000th career point Collins Hill grad Ashley Williams, a senior at Georgia College and State University, collected her 1,000th career point last weekend, when she scored 19 in a loss to Augusta State. She also had 12 rebounds in the game, her fourth double-double of the season, along with four blocks. Peterson earns Gulf South honor, tops 1,000 Valdosta State guard Carley Peterson, a Parkview grad, was named the Gulf South Conference East Division Player of the Week earlier this week after reaching the 1,000-point plateau for her career. The senior had 11 points, six rebounds and two assists in a win over West Alabama and she followed it with 17 points and four steals in a victory over Montevallo. She made 6 of 8 field goals, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range, in the Montevallo game. Geiger named SoCon's athlete of the week Parkview grad Jessica Geiger, a sophomore on Georgia Southern's basketball team, was named the Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week earlier this week. Geiger averaged 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists the previous week in victories over UNC-Greensboro and Elon. She averages 7.2 points and 4.8 rebounds. She also maintains a cumulative 4.0 GPA with a major in marketing. "She has the respect of every one of her teammates because she gets it done on and off the court," Eagles coach Rusty Cram said of Geiger. "She's the epitome of an NCAA Division I student-athlete. I'm proud of her and happy for her." Big week for Clark Georgia College and State University senior Aaron Clark had a nice week. The Collins Hill grad scored a career-high 31 points Wednesday in an 84-72 win over North Georgia, then was named to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III Team the following day. He maintains a 3.7 GPA in marketing. Clark made 10 of 17 shots against North Georgia and had 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double in the past five games. His previous career high was 29 points in last year's Peach Belt Conference Tournament. Parkview grad Ty Rowland, a teammate of Clark's at Georgia College, had 10 points and five assists in the victory over North Georgia. Luckhurst, other Wolves shining in college Wesleyan grad Nikki Luckhurst, a senior and team captain on Tulane's women's basketball team, has made 169 career 3-pointers, which ranks her fourth in school history. The guard, just five 3-pointers away from third all-time, averages 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists. She's just one of several Wolves excelling in college. Sarah Moye averages 3.2 points and 5.4 rebounds for the College of Charleston with a highlight game of 11 points and eight rebounds against Wake Forest. Fellow Wesleyan grads Carolyn and Elise Whitney play at Georgia Southern. Carolyn starts at poing guard, averaging 6.3 points and 3.3 assists, while Elise was the team's top 3-point shooter until suffering a season-ending knee injury. Elise had 14 points against Arkansas. Wesleyan grad Le Le LeSeur, now at Bucknell, is primarily a reserve as a sophomore but has started twice, while former teammate Sarah Delk averages 4.2 rebounds and 3.9 points as a freshman at Brown. GYMNASTICS Auburn's Puckett gets SEC award Auburn junior Lindsey Puckett, a Providence Christian grad, was named SEC Gymnast of the Week on Tuesday after winning the all-around title at N.C. State the previous week. Puckett scored 39.325 to win the all-around championship in a quad meet at N.C. State and also placed first on the vault with a 9.900. She also was second on the beam at 9.825 and tied for third on bars at 9.825. She is ranked 23rd nationally in the all-around by GymInfo. FOOTBALL Palmer named to ACC team Parkview grad Michael Palmer was named to the ACC All-Academic Team earlier this week. Palmer, Clemson's starting tight end, had 13 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown last season. SOFTBALL South grads getpreseason honor Georgia Southern sophomores Sam Russo and Jenny Side, both South Gwinnett grads, were named to the Preseason All-Southern Conference softball's second team. Russo hit a team-high .375 last season with three home runs and 16 RBIs, while Side led the Eagles in homers (nine), RBIs (27) and slugging percentage (.434). ACADEMICS Four locals lauded for perfect GPAs Four student-athletes from Gwinnett who go to Georgia College and State University were honored this week for maintaining 4.0 GPAs. Those students were runners Rob Elliot of South Gwinnett and Patricia Dedrick of Berkmar and soccer players Mary Byrne of Collins Hill and Emily Norris of Central Gwinnett.

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
Personally I am investing bottled water and canned food which I can trade for sexual favors in the post apocalyptic world
ahh, ok so claim of the ''100 contracts per oz'' is simply saying the volume of silver futures traded is higher than what is actually out there. If you look at actual open interest though, as of today dec silver only has 331 lots of OI, which will likely go down before expiration on the 29th.
This is not unique to silver though, I can't think of any commodity that does not have more futures trading than the underlying physical out there. Right now feb WTI has over 300k lots of open interest. Cushing sure doesn't have 300 million BBL worth of crude, and the OI will definitely go down before contract expiration.
Well, my daughter got one of these for Christmas:
So I got her this to match:

What nonsense. Mortgages are bundled up by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and sold as mortgage-backed securities. It's no different from buying a bond. It's not like the precious metals futures market at all.
The problem happened when the federal government started screwing with the fidelity of the mortgages while concurrently implicitly guaranteeing the securities. You ended up with portfolios that were stuffed full of mortgages where the buyers weren't qualified to pay back the loan or where the real estate backing the loan was improperly appraised. This prolonged the natural real estate cycle that should have corrected in 2003.
You didn't even understand my post so why quote me? Your strawman arguments just make you look silly. Its called fraud, and its been happening in the mortgage and precious metals markets for years. Sorry that the industry that you work in is rampant with fraud and as such will be in a depressed state for many years, but if you were smart you would have seen it coming and got out while the getting was good.
I'm wondering. What industry do you think I work in that you are saying is rampant with fraud?
So I dont know much about investing and all that, but I have always been told it is a good idea to have some resever of physical gold and silver after all it has been used as a symbol of money for thousands of years. Im not sure why so many people have so much faith in our dollar it looses value every day it seems.
I have been looking at buying PM and decided to go with silver, reason is its the price that gold was in 1971 and within 9 years gold skyrocketed to over $800/oz. However I will buy some gold to just not in the quanity that I can buy silver due to the prices now. Now I dont expect silver to do that but you just never no and considering that silver is now more rare then gold, so why is gold so much more expensive then silver?
Sure I can invest this money into stocks, cd's, mutual funds and whatever else but what is there to guarantee that my money will be there in the next 10 years. I will however still invest in these but I dont plan on putting all my eggs in one basket.

People would still barter and I'm sure golf and silver would hold value in that.
Next gun will be an ar
APR stg2+hpfp+W/M(100oct)
The other issue is that "during" the time that the dollar (or the Yen or the whatever) is steadily decreasing in value pms increase in value and are readily tradable for dollars when required (to purchase food, clothing etc etc).
Nobody is suggesting (well I'm not anyway) that pms or other high value reserves of value are the answer in themselves, but that they will hold their value and so allow you to purchase (or trade or barter if you prefer those terms) if required.

Paper gold and silver are indeed made every day, and the gold and silver scams have been around the longest. Whether paper money can be made all day has nothing to do with. A corrupt currency can be designed around any token money. The material used is irrelevant. If you think buying precious metals prevents you from being scammed, you are just naive.
NO WAY!!!! Dollar is Mighty! It is the WORLD'S RESERVE CURRENCY!!! US Economy is fundamentally sound and we have no problem of paying off $50+ trillion in debt and take on yet another $1 trillion by March! We will be able to pay off the debt by simply being good at what we do! CONSUME! We have successfully shipped off all our basic and even advanced manufacturing jobs oversea and the citizens can take on endless amount of debt because we are AMERICANS! We will pay these debt off with more debt! Let those patriotic politicians worry about the future of our nation & people because they have been doing fantastic job! Still not convinced?

Publishers WeeklyTaking a cue from the Mexican Day of the Dead, on which they build altars to deceased loved ones, "tell the sad stories and the noble ones... celebrate and mourn at once," author and NPR personality Winik (Rules for the Unruly) chronicles her life through glimpses of the late members of her adopted Pennsylvania home, Glen Rock, who have influenced her over the years. Most are friends of friends and the like; a few others are artists and authors. An eye doctor who passed away when she was a child, for example, had been a friend of the family, a former classmate of her father, and among the first deaths that touched Winik personally. She talks of neighbors who committed suicide, men who died of drug overdoses and women who battled cancer; she writes also of "The Art Star," Keith Haring, whose "adorable symbology-the crawling baby, the barking dog, the blowjobs and dolphins... made perfect sense to me the moment I saw it." ("I must have taken the same acid he did at a Grateful Dead concert when we were fifteen.") Winik treats her subjects with grace, sensitivity and a great deal of her own personality, bringing to brief life the known and unknown, giving each a fitting tribute and the town itself a winning pageant.

Predicting When Tornadoes Will Strike

Tornadoes have taken more than one hundred lives in the U.S. this year. Newly discovered clues about tornado behavior are making it easier to intervene — before they strike.

Leitner going home to 1090
"I enjoyed working with John," Leitner said. "But I enjoyed Kevin, too.
"Kevin is a no-ego guy. He knows the game, and now he has experience."
Over the years, Leitner has worked with a number of analysts - from Bruce Walton, to Jim Laslavic, to Kentera and O'Connell.
Until O'Connell last season, Leitner hadn't worked with a true Aztec since Tommy Nettles in 1978.
The guess here is O'Connell will make the move with Leitner.
Prep schedule
Time-Warner Cable Channel 411 will show several CIF San Diego Section championship games, but all will be taped delayed.
The schedule for Saturday's boys volleyball championships are 8 p.m. Tuesday for Division II and 10 p.m. for Division I. The Division IV and V championships will air Thursday at 8 and 10 p.m.
A Division III lacrosse semifinal will air at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Some of the upcoming softball and baseball championships will be tape delayed.
Yes sir, this Time Warner deal is a really good one for high school sports.
Ratings game
- The Tiger Factor was working big time at The Players Championship on Sunday. With Tiger Woods in the lead all day, the event posted a 5.7 rating with 4.4-million households on NBC. That's up 68 percent from last year and ties 2001 for the best rating for this event in the last 20 years.
- The Angels were supposed to be a World Series contender this season. Instead, they're struggling and three games worse than the Padres. So it's not surprising Sunday night's White Sox-Angels game on ESPN did a dismal 1.2 rating with 924,000 households.
Around the dial
- With Kentucky Derby winner Orb now a media darling, NBC is looking for huge ratings for Saturday's Preakness Stakes. Coverage starts at 1:30 p.m. with the race around 3:30. The NBC Sports Network has the Black Eyed Susan Stakes at 1 p.m. Friday.
- ESPN has extended the contract of college basketball reporter Andy Katz.
- ESPN will have 70 college baseball tournament games from Saturday to May 26. USD and the West Coast Conference is part of the package. San Diego State and the Mountain West are not.
- Former Carlsbad High baseball standout Thomas Eshelman will be the starting pitcher for No. 4-ranked Cal State Fullerton at 8 p.m. Friday against No. 23 UC Irvine. ESPNU will carry the game nationally.

The parking deck behind the old post office is to get a makeover: Harrisonburg wants an artist to design a mural. The competition will favor artists residing in (or at least with a connection to) the city or surrounding county.
Harrisonburg's oldest restaurant, The Little Grill, has been running since the 1940s as a "greasy spoon" and then as a neo-hippie cafe with a lively live music scene. The old diner fare was gradually replaced with farm-to-table sorts of offerings.
In Georgia, Tennessee, and then Ohio and West Virginia, there appeared sightings of a loner on foot in a dark robe with odd headgear. In the connected age of smart phones and social media, a strange sight can become a global media fad. Someone tags a photo "#womaninblack" and others who see her follow suit. As the hashtags and Facebook sharing added up, public curiosity grew. Who was this mysterious woman in black and why was she shunning most contact with others?
In July 2014, the first survey crews should be appearing on private lands along a proposed new pipeline's route. Construction is expected to get underway in 18 to 24 months.
On May 21 of 2014, a weak earthquake felt at night in Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Louisa, and elsewhere mostly just rattled nerves as the historic 2011 Virginia Earthquake leapt to mind.
You may move your car now --but first must check in with the police on 9th Street. Because of the oil train disaster, many parked vehicles were stranded at Depot Grille or along Jefferson Street. Evacuees (around 300 people) now may return. On the downtown side of the James River, would-be bike trail riders and RiverWalk users need to make other plans for the near future.
Some members of Albemarle county's school board supported keeping schools open during winter storms by temporarily switching school bus stops to the major roads most likely to be plowed first. However, the idea of schoolkids hiking slippery snowbound secondary roads in wind chill conditions alarmed some board members.
Two Virginia girls involuntarily tattooed by their babysitter could get free removal treatments by a good Samaritan from the North.
Congrats to Heather McMann for an appearance on "All Things Considered" on Thursday, March 13, 2014. She was the first listener quoted by NPR (and the first one broadcast in her own voice) in Part IV of the series speculating about what would have happened if World War One had never happened.

Have you ever received an email from someone who claims to be stranded in London/Spain/Haiti/Germany, etc.? How about an email from a law firm in China who is trying to contract with you to collect on a "sizeable" judgment at the Radio Shack down the street from your office?
Most people would laugh at the stories of the unsuspecting victims but, I assure you, this is no laughing matter. People fall prey to these scams every single day, and sometimes they are educated, successful, and relatively sophisticated individuals who you would never think would fall for such a scheme - and yet they do.
Something as simple as registering a domain name and securing your email address can guarantee that you never become the punchline of the story at your colleague's next cocktail party.
