November 6, 2013
(18 Jan. 2013) --- Internal waves off Northern Trinidad are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 34 crew member on the International Space Station. This photograph shows the north coast of the island of Trinidad in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, where heating of the land is setting off the growth of cumulus clouds. The light blue northwest-southeast trending plume at center is sediment from one of the rivers that flows into the sea here. Adjacent to, and appearing to cross the sediment plume, a series of subtle interacting arcs can be seen in the sea. These are known as internal waves which are the surface manifestation of slow waves moving tens of meters beneath the sea surface. These produce enough of an effect on the sea surface to be seen from space, but only where they are enhanced due to reflection of sunlight, or sunglint, back towards the space station. The image shows at least three sets of internal waves interacting. The most prominent set (top left) shows a "packet" of several waves moving from the northwest due to the tidal flow towards the north coast of Trinidad. Two less prominent, younger sets can be seen further out to sea. A very broad set enters the view from the north and northeast, and interacts at top center with the first set. All the internal waves are probably caused by the shelf break near Tobago (outside the image to top right). The shelf break is the step between shallow seas (around continents and islands) and the deep ocean. It is the line at which tides usually start to generate internal waves. The sediment plume at center is embedded in the Equatorial Current (also known as the Guyana Current) and is transporting material to the northwest—in almost the opposite direction to the movement of the internal waves. The current flows strongly from east to west around Trinidad, all the way from equatorial Africa, driven by year-round easterly winds. Seafarers in the vicinity of Trinidad are warned that the current, and its local reverse eddies, make navigation of smaller craft in these waters complicated and sometimes dangerous.

Report: Iowa Speedway CEO leaves post
Sep 10, 2013, 8:00 PM EDT
Iowa Speedway CEO Doug Fritz has resigned his post and will seek another opportunity, according to the Des Moines Register.
The Register also reported that two Speedway officials said the track was behind on some payments to vendors.
Iowa Speedway has hosted a pair of NASCAR Nationwide and a pair of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races apiece, as well as its traditional June date for the IZOD IndyCar Series.
- indycarseries500 - Sep 10, 2013 at 8:25 PM
Can't say I'm surprised. It was fine when they had a Truck weekend, Nationwide weekend and an IndyCar weekend then the second Nationwide race came and attendance went down then a second truck race hut the gate as well. They need to get back down to three major weekends maybe a Nationwide/Arca in May, Truck/USAC/IndyCar in June and a Truck/Nationwide in September
- ravenousmind - Sep 11, 2013 at 3:02 AM
I'm sure the France Family or a friend/business partner of theirs will buy it up…drop a Martinsville race in Sprint cup and add this track!

continued "This is real…this is legitimate," said Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak of the historical significance of the Cantonmant.
As one of the students pulled entact nails from the soil, Plattsburgh City Clerk Keith Hurkalo, a local historian who has been intimately involved with the cantonment project, quizzed the students as to how iron nails could be in the ground for 200 years but not be rusted away. One posited that when the cabin was burned by the British in the summer of 1813, the heat from the fire tempered the nails, turning them to steel, which is less likely to rust. Satisfied with the answer, Hurkalo went back to his animated discussion with a local history buff about the lengthy process of discovering the location of the cantonment site.
Abel is already making plans for next year's dig.
"Now we have a structure," he said, with an obvious sense of excitement. "Next year we're going to branch out and excavate to discover other structures."
The land, owned by the county, has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, giving it a slight degree of safety from development. If the county were to ever try to develop the land, they would first have to excavate the entire site, a pain-staking and ultimately expensive endeavor.
"You don't get sites like this every day, with this level of preservation," Abel said.
And with that, "The Big Dig" continues.

General manager attributes it to traditional cuisines and staff loyalty
One of the city's oldest concept restaurants, The Taj Gateway's Karavalli, has been included in the list of Asia's top 50 along with six other Indian restaurants. The 22-year-old restaurant, on Residency Road is the only one from south India to figure on this year's S. Pellegrino Best Restaurant in Asia list, which was announced on Wednesday.
The panel was made up of food critics, chefs, restaurateurs and culinary experts, ANI reported. An offshoot of the famed World's 50 Best Restaurants awards, Asia's 50 Best Restaurants were voted by a group of more than 900 international members of The Diners Club World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy.
The others on the list
The other Indian restaurants on the list are Dum Pukht (New Delhi), Wasabi by Morimoto (Mumbai), Bukhara (New Delhi), Indigo (Mumbai), Varq (New Delhi), Indian Accent (New Delhi).
Karavalli is rated 44th on the list while the top honours went to the Narisawa in Tokyo.
"It's a huge honour and privilege," said Albert Rebello, general manager, The Gateway Hotel Residency Road. He said Karavalli is one of the few concept restaurants that has not changed a bit in the last 22 years. "Most other restaurants reinvent [themselves] every three-four years. But Karavalli has stuck to its traditional charm," he said.
He said that Karavalli's core team of chefs, including master chef Naren Thimmaiah, as well as the service personnel have not changed in 15 years. "Happy people make tasty food!" he quipped.
Mr. Rebello also sought to dispel the notion that Karavalli is a 'fine-dine' eatery. Instead, there has always been a conscious effort to keep it homely and earthy. "We serve jaggery and water before each meal. We use pani panja (traditional handtowels) instead of paper napkins."
Coastal cuisines
Karavalli's cuisine combines vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare and brings flavours from the kitchens of Mangalorean Bunts and Konkanis to Kodavas from Coorg, Malayalis, Calicut Muslims and Syrian Christians of Travancore, Havyaka Brahmins of Vittla to the Portuguese cuisine of Goa.
Mr. Rebello also said that there is no pressure to contemporise the restaurant in the face of growing competition in the sector.
"Our tradition is our strength. The idea is to take guests back to their roots," he said. On future ambitions, he said: "We want to be India's first restaurant to figure on the list of Michelin Star Restaurants."

Aquino urges China, Asean to respect exclusive economic zones under Unclos
PHNOM PENH––In strongly worded remarks, President Aquino on Tuesday called on all parties to respect the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of coastal states, "irrespective of their size or naval power," and in conformity with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos).
Speaking at the 7th East Asia Summit, the penultimate gathering of leaders at the 21st Asean Summit and related Summits here, Mr. Aquino called on all the claimant countries in Asean to "consider coming together to begin discussing the clarification of maritime claims and the resolution of their maritime disputes."
He said this should be done in accordance with international law, especially Unclos.
The Unclos sets the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) to up to 200 nautical miles from the coast in which states have the right to explore and exploit natural resources but allow freedom of navigation and overflight to others.
But this will likely not sit well with China, which claims virtually the entire South China Sea, parts of which the Philippines calls the West Philippine Sea.
The Philippines has tussled with China over certain isles and reefs in the vicinity of the Spratly chain, as well as over the Scarborough shoal, that fall within the former's EEZ and conflict with the latter's nine-dash claim.
The nine-dash claim is China's delineation of its territory in the South China Sea, with nine dashes on the map that enclose all of the Spratly archipelago, parts of which are claimed by the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan.
"At no time in the contemporary history of the South China Sea has clarification and delimitation of maritime areas become more urgent and imperative than they are now," Mr. Aquino said.
In his statement, he quoted directly from paragraph five of the 10-year-old Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC).
Under the DOC, the parties shall "exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability, including, among others, refraining from action of inhabiting on the presently uninhabited islands, reefs, shoals, cays and other features and to handle their differences in a constructive manner."
Mr. Aquino also emphasized that all parties to the proposed code of conduct in the South China Sea, when finalized, must be fully committed to its full implementation.
"As we in Asean embark on negotiating a code of conduct, we must make sure that its provisions are not only stronger, binding, and credible, but that all parties to the COC must be fully committed to its implementation," he said.

I thought I'd put the link for the facebook group here, so hopefully it would alert people and they'd see the link :)
Hello! My name is Jen and I'm a late comer to the group. (obviously) I've been meaning to check out the site, for forever, but finally got to it today. I'm 35, 36 wks preggers with our first, currently living in Bavaria, husband is deployed, and just found out we will *most* likely be moving to El Paso this summer. Just wanted to say hi!
Hi All! I am just joining this group and am 41 weeks pregnant today! I have been on babycenter for a long time but am frustrated with the level of intelligence in my birth club there. I was googling a question and came across this site so I thought I'd join. I'm a first time mom at 37 years old and in El Paso, TX until the fall (drarmywife - If you are still expecting to end up here send me a message! I can't send you a note yet).
Hello! I am so bummed I didn't know about this site when I was prego! My son Micah is 8 weeks old now. Micah is what Dr. Sears would call a "high needs baby" and he loves to nurse, nurse, nurse (non-stop). I am often found carrying him around in the moby or ring sling doing just that. I am almost 28 years old and am a first time mama. I recently got my masters in counseling and will be working 1-2 days a week starting about one month from now. I am into attachment parenting, and while I love the ideas behind this style of parenting, I am realizing that it is HARD and am here to get/give support from/to other mamas. :)
BTW, There's a Wonder weeks app that may be easier to deal with right now, rather than trying to read the book! It's the official app and all you do is put in when your child was born :) It lets you plan accordingly! (I've not read the book but I wouldn't have time to right now with a new baby...and if I did, I'd fall asleep lol)
Welcome!! We're a bit more active on FB but I wish we'd come back here. I feel like the posts are easier to manage in this format. But anyway, welcome! Congratulations! And I think with or without planning to be attached, we are misled by our culture about what having a baby is really like. We're given this subconcious message that if we were good at our jobs, our babies would happily sleep all the time without us. But when light is shed on that, even without an AP mindset, it makes no sense physiologically or biologically. As another member (the wise Tabitha) said elsewhere "This season will soon be over" or something like that :D
Thank you! I totally agree about our cultural expectations regarding parenting. I think I found the FB page...is it March Mothering DDC? I requested to join so I hope that's it!! Looking forward to connecting! :)
Thank you! I actually have the wonder weeks book and I LOVE it. Whenever I am feeling burnt out or overwhelmed it really helps me get some perspective! I am excited to look into your other book recommendations too!!!

G. Viswanath
'The century at Perth in 1991 changed me as a player'
Mumbai: "I have all the bats with which I scored my 81 centuries (39 in Tests and 42 in one-day internationals)," said Sachin Tendulkar during the course of an interview to The Hindu on Wednesday. "I would pick the two shots I hit off Mitchell Johnson over the wicketkeeper," he said when asked what would be the defining moments of his batting on the tour of Australia.
You have not ceased to surprise the cricketing fraternity. It has been another great tour of Australia.
First of all, I don't play to surprise people. My ultimate dream was to play for India and I am living it. I just want to go out there and enjoy.
You have often said that Australia is a special place you like to visit and play.
Right from my first tour to Australia in 1991, it has been tough, but fantastic. It was challenging for a 17-18 year-old youngster. The hundred at Perth in 1991 changed me as a player and I felt I had arrived in international cricket. The people there are friendly. It's also a cricket loving nation. I also like the weather there.
After four tours to Australia you must be extremely pleased with what you have achieved, more significantly in terms of India having proved to be a competent side there?
In the 2003-04 tour we beat them in Adelaide. Then in Sydney we came close to winning the Test. But the recent tour was a special one because we beat them at Perth. If one looks back at the series we challenged them more than they did us.
What challenge does Australia pose? Wasim Jaffer and Yuvraj Singh could not find their bearings?
It's not that Wasim or Yuvraj have not scored runs on seaming or bouncy tracks. Australia is not the only place in the world where there is pronounced seam and bounce and both these batsmen have scored runs on those tracks. It's a case of ups and downs and it was just a coincidence that it happened in Australia.
Would you say cricketers should not be judged by setbacks in a single series?
They should not be, especially batsmen who have scored runs in international cricket. Wasim and Yuvraj have been around long enough and have scored big runs.
What difference do you find in the Australian teams of 1991 and thereafter?
Australian teams have always been competitive. Probably in 1991, they did not go on the defensive if an Indian batsman played a couple of shots. In the recent series, however, they immediately posted a deep point. This did not happen in 1999 and 2003 either. This was the first time they set a scattered field. This has been the big change.
You have faced various top class Australian bowlers. Have all of them been very intense and skill-wise testing for the batsmen?
Skill wise I would put McGrath and Warne at the top of the list. Just below them would be Lee because of the way he bowled in the recent series. McDermott was also very good. Yes, they have been very intense.
How about the Australian batsmen? Have they posed a typical Australian challenge to Indian bowlers?
Australia's batting approach has been more or less the same. This time, India's bowlers challenged them more often. On various occasions their temperament was tested. We created and sustained the pressure and the intensity was great.
India fielded different bowling attacks for almost all the matches? What signs do you see in this?
We wanted to surprise the Australians with certain strategies. Piyush Chawla had not played a single game until the finals. The idea was that the Australians, who had not faced him, would not know how to react to him. Praveen Kumar is a smart cricketer; he knows what he is doing.
Would you say the Australians are different from the rest?
They have always been aggressive and attacking in their approach. It's nice to play against them because the game is always moving at a different pace altogether. I have not had a look at their juniors, but from the look of it that's how they play. The bowlers like to challenge the batsmen even in their domestic competition. I saw a couple of matches. There were verbal exchanges as well.
Many former cricketers have said that Australia's days of complete dominance are over?
McGrath and Warne, both world class bowlers, left at the same time. They were real match winners. It makes a huge difference to any team when match winners leave at the same time. That's probably one of the reasons one can actually put them under pressure.
How can India take advantage of the present situation having won the ICC under-19 World Cup and a splendid series in Australia?
These are encouraging factors. We need to strike that balance between staying in the present and also looking at the future. But one cannot forget that the Test team has also tasted success. We should not forget that what the seniors did in the Tests laid the foundation for the tour.
After nearly two decades of international cricket your mind must be as intense as it was in 1989, but is the body complaining now. In England you said two days between one-day internationals is not enough time to recover?
In Australia we had just a day's gap and spent the day travelling. These are the demands cricketers have to prepare for. It's tough, when one plays a day/night match, gets back to the room, packs the bags and takes the morning flight, settles down again and be mentally prepared for the next match.
Would you say things have dramatically changed with a number of teenagers getting into Indian cricket?
That's good and in a way bad as well. We need to look back and find out how many youngsters have made it to the Indian team as teenagers and have gone on to play for a long time. Ishant Sharma had a terrific tour, his future looks very good. But it's equally important not only for him, but everyone else not to get carried away.

Bio spotlights US general who won Ike's confidence
Overall U.S. losses in the brutal slog through Italy were appalling. In 601 days of combat from the Salerno landings in September 1943 to the surrender of German forces in Italy on May 2, 1945, the Fifth Army, which was commanded by Truscrott in the final months, suffered 188,746 casualties, including 31,886 dead.
Eulogizing U.S. dead at Anzio on Memorial Day 1945, Truscott did an about face to dignitaries and instead addressed thousands of GI graves. He promised that if he "ever ran into anybody, especially old men, who thought death on the battlefield was glorious, he would straighten them out." Famed Army correspondent Bill Mauldin called it the most moving gesture he ever saw. "It came from a hard-boiled old man who was incapable of planned dramatics."

Eric Paslay's 'Song About A Girl' Makes Clichés Sound Fresh
Pickup trucks, tailgates, back roads, bonfires and alcohol: commercial country has been obsessed with a handful of topics for several years, and just about every sector of the business -- from the songwriters to the labels to radio -- has voiced some level of frustration about what seems to be a limited lyrical approach.
But it keeps working, and writers keep finding new ways to write about those topics -- or to use them as a starting place to talk about something else.
Eric Paslay's new single, "Song About a Girl" -- released by EMI to radio via Play MPE on Feb. 3 -- puts yet another tack on the issue, as a sort of anti-bro-country approach: "This ain't about tailgates/Ain't about bonfires/Ain't about souped-up cars, water towers/Or drowning in a bottle of Jack."
It's a song about a girl, which, Paslay points out, is that to which all those songs that use the clichés are ultimately leading.
"We always talk about the bonfire -- there's nothing sexy about a bonfire unless your chick's glowing in it," he says. "There's nothing sexy about a tailgate unless your chick is sitting on it, and there's definitely nothing sexy about the rusty water tower unless your chick's name's written on it, you know? Every time we sing a line in a country song, it's always about the girl. So we just decided to write a song about it."
Jessi Alexander (Miley Cyrus' "The Climb," Blake Shelton's "Mine Would Be You") brought the title with her when she met with Paslay for a writing session at the Nashville-area home of fellow writer Gordie Sampson (Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take the Wheel," Hunter Hayes' "Storm Warning") in October 2012, the same month Paslay wrote Rascal Flatts' "Rewind." Alexander had also written Lee Brice's "I Drive Your Truck," which Curb released to radio the next month, and she was already hearing negative feedback from other songwriters.
"I got a lot of crap for it in the beginning, when people saw the title, 'I Drive Your Truck,' " she recalls. "I had friends like, 'Oh, come on, Jessi. Are you writing truck songs now, too?' Then, of course, when people hear the song, they know it's so much more than that. But I think we all, as writers, are feeling a little boxed in by the topics."
Oddly enough, the boxes became points of creative inspiration with "Song About a Girl," which runs through a veritable laundry list of lyrical clichés -- hometowns, goodbyes, come-backs, the stars, the moon -- but always returning to its simple conclusion: "It's a song about a girl."
"We kind of turned brevity into a three-minute song," says Paslay. "It's just one line. The main point is that every song that comes on the radio today, you could say, 'That's about a girl.' Like, 'What's this about?' 'It's a song about a girl.' If your kid in the back seat ever asks what this song is about, you just play them my song: 'It's a song about a girl.' "
And the kids may indeed be asking about a few topics in the song that were before their time. The first verse references Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" and "coo-coo-ca-choos," a shout-out to The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus," a 46-year-old album cut that's inspirational to many baby-boomer music executives but may not be familiar to a budding teen.
"Sometimes, the sound of the words will happen before the actual words," Sampson notes. "So Eric will mumble something like, 'Oo, oo, oo-oooh,' and then it's just about trying to find a word that fits in that hole, like 'coo-coo-ca-choo.' I remember reading an article about Shania Twain and Mutt Lange working together and them talking about that's how she often would write, finding the sound of the words before finding the words themselves."
"I'm hoping ["coo-coo-ca-choo"] makes people question and dig in deeper," Alexander adds. "I mean, that's what I did. When I heard different references about older artists, I was looking for them. So hopefully, it'll bring a little light there."

Police investigate after two people, including a 14-year-old boy, were shot Thursday in front of an elementary school on the southeast side of Columbus, Ohio.
An Ohio elementary school was briefly locked down Thursday afternoon after two people were shot near the school, school officials told NBC News.
Jackie Bryant, a spokeswoman for the Columbus City Schools, said the shooting occurred off school grounds but near the entrance of Liberty Elementary School.
Bryant said no pupils were involved.
NBC station WCMH of Columbus reported that a 14-year-old boy was being treated at Nationwide Children's Hospital and that a 20-year-old man was being treated at Grant Medical Center.
Columbus police said neither person had any connection to the school. No one had been arrested Thursday night, they said.
The school system told NBC News that Independence High School, which is across the street, had already dismissed its students for the day when the shooting occurred about 3:30 p.m. ET. Pupils remaining at the elementary school weren't allowed to leave for about an hour while police cleared the scene, it said.

Haiti earthquake refugees trade golf course camp for humble homes
Published on Feb 1, 2014 7:05 AM
PORT-AU-PRINCE (REUTERS) - The tents are gone and clean up crews are grooming the grounds of the Petionville country club golf course, which served as a camp for 60,000 people made homeless by Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake.
The camp, on Haiti's only golf course, closed last week after the refugees were relocated, according to J/P Haitian Relief Organization, the group co-founded by actor Sean Penn that set up and ran the camp for four years.
The earthquake left almost 1.5 million people homeless in what was already the poorest country in the Americas.
While the camp's closure marks a milestone in Haiti's recovery from the earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people, J/P HRO said this week that its work in Haiti was far from over.

Biodiversity Special Express, the latest phase of Science Express, is not scheduled to visit Coimbatore Junction.
Of the thematic expo on wheels by railways, Mother Theresa Express visited Coimbatore and when Swami Vivekananda Express was about to skip Coimbatore Junction, Ramakrishna Mission intervened and pleaded with the railways to have the train visit Coimbatore in July 2011.
But, Coimbatore with so many education institutions for higher learning and a number of schools, was not included in the list of places where Science Express was scheduled to visit and it skipped the junction in April 2011, says Coimbatore Railway Struggle Committee.
Now, Coimbatore is missing in the route map of the latest phase of Science Express – Bio Diversity Special Express.
In its current journey from Chennai on August 10 to southern districts and Kerala, the train is not finding a mention about visit to Coimbatore. From October 4 to 8 it is at Kazipet and from October 9 to 19, it is at Secunderabad.
Coimbatore region has the Nilgiris Bio Sphere Reserve and it was recently declared as a World Heritage Sight. Coimbatore also hosts institutes such as Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, Tamil Nadu Forest Academy, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, and Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History. More over, Coimbatore is in the lap of Western Ghats but still Railways does not find Coimbatore worthy for the visit of Bio-diversity express which is very sad and unfortunate, says Rail activist S. Ravi.
It is sad and unfortunate that Coimbatore is always forgotten by the Railway Administration excepting for the revenue that it generates, the highest ever in Southern Railway next only to Chennai, says R. Raveendran of Residents Awareness Association of Coimbatore.
The Science Express – Bio Diversity Special is a collaborative initiative of Department of Science & Technology (DST) and Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Government of India. It showcases the wide array of biodiversity in the country and the conservation measures adopted. The exhibition also showcases aspects of climate change, water, energy conservation, environment and legacy of the Science Express.
Having ignored Coimbatore in its 'inimitable style', it is time for the NGOs, biodiversity and green enthusiasts, green brigades, institutions of excellence offering research courses in agriculture, bio-diversity, forestry to join together to explain the importance of Coimbatore to the Southern Railway and Railway Board for getting this train routed via Coimbatore with a halt for at least two days, says Jameel Ahmed, member of the Divisional Railway Users Consultative Committee.
Science Express - Biodiversity Special is an innovative and unique mobile exhibition mounted on a specially-designed 16-coach AC train travelling across India. Of the 16 coaches, eight are dedicated to showcasing biodiversity spread across the various bio-geographical zones — the Trans-Himalaya and the Himalayas, the Gangetic Plain, North East India, the Desert and Semi-Arid Zone, Western Ghats the Deccan Peninsula, and the Coasts and Islands.The exhibition is open for all.

As a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to spread, federal, state and local officials are looking at a number of ways to try and keep the oil away from the coast. One idea includes harnessing the power of the mighty Mississippi River to protect the state's coastal marshes.
'We're going to have peak water, in about five more days, coming down the Mississippi River,' said Garret Graves of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.
State officials have opened up six diversions along the river, from St. Charles Parish to Plaquemines Parish. The diversions allow the Mississippi waters to act as a flushing system for the coast.
'It really could provide a fresh water wedge potentially against encroaching oil,' said Tim Doody, president of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority East.
One path the water is traveling through includes the Caernarvon diversion, on the border between St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes. Fresh water is moving through there at 8,000 cubic feet per second.
'We're trying to get as much fresh water as we can into both the Barataria Basin and Breton Sound area on the east bank,' Graves said.
While the diversions are expected to keep some of the oil out of the coastal marshes, they could have some unintended consequences. Fresh water could throw off the salinity levels along the coast, affecting fisheries and estuaries. The alternative, though, is considered far worse.
'The ecological disaster that is this oil spill, far outweighs the potential for harm,' Doody said.
Officials are now considering opening up the Bohemia Spillway, on the east bank of Plaquemines Parish. It could help divert even more of the river's water.
'That diversion actually has the capacity to run a couple hundred thousand cubic feet of water per second,' Graves said. 'So, [it has] a very, very large diversion potential.'
The idea is now under serious consideration, but a decision will need to be made quickly. The Bohemia Spillway can only be used when the Mississippi River is high. It is now expected to crest at the Carrollton Gage on May 19.
'This is a different usage of the [Bohemia] Spillway than was ever intended,' Doody said. 'It was only intended as a flood control feature.'
Officials have said they also considered opening up the Bonnet Carre Spillway, but because of its location, they don't believe it would be as effective as the other diversions.

One popular, but very incorrect, belief about school systems is that summertime is the "slow time" of the year. In reality, the closing out of one school and fiscal year and the preparation for the next keeps school, district administration, and staff pretty busy during the summer months. And this summer is certainly no different!
Summer camps and learning opportunities were plentiful during this summer. Shortly after classes ended, the Read to Achieve Summer Reading Camp began for some of our district's 3rd graders. As mandated by the state legislature's Read to Achieve Law, Scotland County Schools provided the camp as an opportunity for those students that, based on testing results during the school year, needed some additional help in reading. This six-week enrichment camp ended just last week and based on initial scores, many of the camp attendees have now achieved a proficient score on the Read to Achieve assessment. We also had many other students who participated in the camp show growth on these same assessments. We are certainly proud of all of these students and the hard work they did.
Laurel Hill Elementary School hosted a reading camp for their students as well. More than 70 students attended the two-week camp. They read books and completed projects that were centered around the camp's nature theme. Camp attendees also decided that they wanted to do something to give back to the community, and they raised money for the Humane Society and were able to purchase dog beds for the facility.
Wagram Elementary School encouraged summer reading by opening their school library several days a month during the summer. This was the first year that the school offered this opportunity and because of the success that they've seen with students coming in to the library, checking out books, and reading during the summer, it is a program that they plan to continue next summer.
And our new superintendent, Dr. Ron Hargrave, also issued his own summer reading challenge. Dr. Hargrave has been encouraging students to read at least 20 minutes each day during the summer months to prevent the effect of "summer slide," the learning loss that happens during the summertime. As an incentive to read, those students participating in the challenge will have their names entered into a drawing for a chance to win a free Kindle fire.
Our middle and high school students have been active this summer as well. We are extremely proud of two of our students that competed in the national Technology Students Association Conference, held June 27 through July 1 at the Gaylord National Convention Center at the National Harbor in Baltimore, Md. Chancellor Byrd, a Spring Hill Middle School student, was a finalist in the Prepared Speech category, finishing 12th out of 86 participants. Javonate Williams, a student at SEarCH, served as the NC State Reporter on the National TSA Board.
Fourteen rising SCS seniors were selected to participate in the Laurinburg/Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce's Junior Leadership program. Just last week these students visited and learned about various aspects of our community. These student leaders completed the program with a better understanding for and appreciation of how our county and city works and the many opportunities we have right here in our community.
The GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) program had summer camp opportunities in which close to 100 rising 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students explored possible career pathways as well as CTE (Career and Technical Education) course options. Our mission to make sure our students are college and career ready definitely doesn't take a pause during the summer months!
And in preparation for the upcoming school year, teachers and administrators have been participating in a variety of professional development opportunities throughout the summer (and continue to do so). In response to the great success of the first summit last summer, our second annual "Innovations in Education" summit will be held on the campus of Scotland High School, Aug. 20 and Aug. 21. Over the two-day period, a variety of courses will be offered to educators to help prepare them for a successful school year.
So, as you can see, the summer months are anything but slow. As the calendar turns to August and the first day of school is in the forefront, the sense of excitement for a great school year is literally palpable. We invite you to share in this excitement and enthusiasm and become involved in our schools.
The vitality of our community is inexplicably tied to, and dependent upon, the success of our students and schools. We help prepare tomorrow's leaders and provide yet another reason for businesses and industries to Target Laurinburg/Scotland County as a place to locate and grow.
Meredith Bounds is the public information officer for Scotland County Schools.

The duty to remember
The 40TH anniversary of Ferdinand Marcos' declaration of martial law is fast approaching. There is not much fanfare, which is understandable considering that it was a dark chapter in our history that can be evoked only with anxiety and trepidation. The official neglect of the commemoration is worrisome, however, because it suggests that the state, which was complicit in the dictatorship to which martial law gave rise, has yet to fully consolidate as a restored democracy. Military adventurism, corruption in the military and the police, human rights violations, and the insurgencies and conflicts that martial law helped engender are still with us.
To some extent democracy remains tenuous, and certain sectors of society still look back at the dictatorship with nostalgia. Young Filipinos are being brought up without an appreciation of the dire lessons of history. Indeed, the horrors of martial law are glossed over in our history schoolbooks. Thankfully, there are a number of private-sector attempts to commemorate the grim era that began in September 1972.
Last Saturday, the art exhibit "ReCollection 1081: Clear and Present Danger (Visual Dissent on Martial Rule)" opened at the Cultural Center of the Philippines' Bulwagang Juan Luna and Pasilyo Guillermo Tolentino. Organized by the Liongoren Gallery and the Center for Art, New Ventures and Sustainable Development (Canvas), it is part of "Piglas," a series of art events at the CCP to mark the 40th anniversary of the declaration of martial law. Among the participating artists are National Artist BenCab, Alfredo Liongoren, Pablo Baens Santos, Edgar Talusan Fernandez, Orlando Castillo, Al Manrique, José Tence Ruiz, Renato Habulan, Brenda Fajardo, Imelda Cajipe Endaya, Antipas Delotavo, Jaime de Guzman, Anna Fer, and Edicio de la Torre.
Some of the works on exhibit were made during martial law. De la Torre, a former priest, was one of those who went underground during the Marcos regime, and two of his works in the exhibit were done inside his prison cell in Camp Bago Bantay. BenCab's contribution to the exhibit is an original piece done during martial law but set against a reworked digital drawing of the same work.
The show is an attempt to provide diverse perspectives on that dark chapter, conveying these to audiences through various media and genre styles, which overall should allow those who lived during that time to reminisce and those who live vicariously through them to sift through the raw material and heed the lessons therein. "It should not stop at this," said Norma Liongoren of the Liongoren Gallery, who was herself an anti-Marcos activist. "This is only the beginning. This is why museums are important. I believe that we should have permanent visual exhibitions that would impart knowledge on significant events in Philippine history accurately."
Meanwhile, the book "Tibak Rising: Activism in the Days of Martial Law" will be launched today at 4 p.m. at the University of the Philippines in Diliman. Put out by Anvil Publishing and the UP National College of Public Administration, the anthology consists of personal memoirs by political activists.
And then there's #rememberML@40, which young Filipinos themselves have organized. Organizations in a number of colleges and universities have banded together to launch the information campaign for the benefit of the youth who are generally ignorant of the painful chapter in our past that has yet to see closure and just resolution. The organizers weren't yet around during the Marcos dictatorship, so they struggle vicariously to remember and learn. "It is hard to fight for something that you did not experience firsthand, so we want the youth to remember and never forget," said Nolivee Barrido, a student leader from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, A good corrective to that, he said, would be to gun for 40,000 "likes" or approving clicks on a Facebook page dedicated to the dark era's victims and unsung heroes, as well as related information.
It is gratifying that tech-savvy young Filipinos are making use of the social media to raise awareness about martial law and Philippine history as a guard against the treacheries of a short memory. The nation as a whole should learn from them. Out of the mouths of babes comes the reminder that it's watchful remembering that will make possible our survival as a democracy and as a nation.

PLATTSBURGH - Looking to get your child away from the television, or away from the video games? The town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department may be able to help.
The Center for Screen-Time Awareness (CSTA) is celebrating Turnoff Week, which focuses on getting children out of the house to enjoy more activities, during April 20-26. On April 24 and 25, the town of Plattsburgh is promoting two free events for children to enjoy while they're away from their electronics.
On Friday, April 24, the city of Plattsburgh Recreation Gym at the US Oval will be the site of "Family Bounce Night," from 6-8 p.m. This event is open to children up to age 13 throughout Clinton County.
"We actually participated last year [in Turnoff Week]. However we decided to do kind of smaller programs on a smaller level," explained Janet Sosnicki, recreation program coordinator for the town of Plattsburgh. "I thought this year it would be nice to get all the organizations together and really promote this Turnoff Week."
Sosnicki added she believes it's a very positive thing for kids and the recreation department is looking to promote more positive activities.
"It is a very positive thing for kids, to get the kids away from all electronics and out there, being active, doing something positive with their families," she said. "That's really the main reason why we decided to do that, just to promote some positive activities getting them out and active with each other and their families."
During the Family Bounce Night, the town of Plattsburgh teamed up with Eat Well Play Hard, a childhood obesity prevention initiative of the New York State Department of Health. Through EWPH, Sosnicki was connected to many other organizations looking to help their goal.
The evening will be co-sponsored by the town of Schuyler Falls, American Heart Association, DARE, Army National Guard, Peru School, Clinton County Youth Bureau, Fidelis Care, City of Plattsburgh and Champlain Valley Family Center. Some of the organizations will also have booths set up at the event.

Will next Pearl Harbor occur in cyberspace?
Thursday - 11/17/2011, 8:37am EST
By Michael O'Connell
Web Editor
Federal News Radio
Cybersecurity legislation will be on the Senate's agenda in 2012.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) says the issue will come up during the first work period of the new year. The National Journal reports the Nevada Democrat told Republican leaders about his decision in a letter late last night.
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, (ID-Conn.), Ranking Member Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Federal Financial Management Subcommittee Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) issued a statement, saying that every day Congress fails to strengthen the cybersecurity of the nation's critical infrastructure, is another day of unacceptable risk.
"Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has warned that the next Pearl Harbor 'could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our power systems, our grid, our security systems, our financial systems, our governmental systems,'" the statement read. For this reason, Reid added the legislation to the 2012 schedule.
The Cybersecurity and Internet Freedom Act addresses government authority, structure, and other cybersecurity issues. Civil libertarians criticize the bill for giving the government too much power over the Internet.

Speaking of Tim Leary, above is a debate between him and Ram Dass – the two were close at Harvard and Leary turned Alpert on to psychedelics.
21C is back with new material, plus archival material by or about Hakim Bey, William S. Burroughs, Erik Davis, Philip K. Dick, Ashley Crawford, Mark Dery, Verner Vinge, William Gibson, Rudy Rucker, Jack Parsons, Richard Metzger, Genesis P. Orridge, Kath Acker, JG Ballard, John Shirley, Robert Anton Wilson, Iain Sinclair, Terrence McKenna, Buckminster Fuller, R.U. Sirius, Timothy Leary, Bruce Sterling and more.
Sadly, in 1999, the company went bust, somewhat ironic given that 21•C in that form never made it into the Century after which it was named – the 21st. 21•C stalwart Mark Dery and I made some attempt to resuscitate the title early in the new millennium to no avail.
Yet many of the ideas and issues raised in the original magazine continued to arise, and with them perpetual queries as to how to get copies of the original articles, a nigh impossible task. With the prompting of two other 21•C stalwarts, Darren Tofts and Murray McKeich, it was decided to resurrect a core selection of articles in an archival on-line format. With Mick Stylianou's wizard like help this was fairly painless. It didn't take long to decide to add new material and it is hoped that new issues will be posted at semi-regular intervals.
This inaugural on-line issue takes as its theme Apocalypse Noir – the trend toward the apocalyptic, or at the least extremely dark – in contemporary writing. If earlier 21•C's tended toward the darker aspects of cyberpunk, then the newer crop of writers have given up any pretense of a happy ending. Good luck!

Before The Open Source Party. Before The Guns and Dope Party. Before The Revolution Party. In 1969, Timothy Leary ran for governor of California against Ronald Reagan. The motto was "Come together – join the party" and John Lennon originally wrote the song "Come Together" for Leary.
According to a letter from Leary published in Mondo 2000 # 6 in 1992, this was Leary's platform:
1. The basic function of government is to protect individuals against organized gangs and groups.
2. Decentralization: California secedes from the USSA.
3. Another basic function of govt. is to entertain/educate.
4. The government makes a profit. Instead of paying taxes, the citizen received dividends.
5. The profits derived from licensing pleasures: Marijuana license like an auto license/registration, hard liquor, gambling; prostitutes were professionals like dentists or lawyers; LSD, etc., used in state parks or theme parks; Entry taxes – California would be like an amusement park – entrance fees and daily residence fees; Education – California specializes in education – non-Californians paid substantial fees.
The only other info I could find about the platform:
Revealing part of his guber-natorial platform for the first time, Leary pledged solutions to California's 10 major political problems.
He leaked out only a few of those solutions, but what did emerge was unique — to say the least.
"I'm going to legalize marijuana and charge a $1,000 a year permit fee for those who want to make it," he said.
"Given the size of California population, that will generate a huge amount of additional revenue each year.
"Then I'll turn that money over to the police and the forces of the right wing to keep them happy and off people's backs," Leary explained.
Wouldn't that be discriminating against the poor who can't afford $1,000 a year for the privilege of turning on? he was asked.
"That's not really a problem," he explained, "because it's only a short-term situation — in five years I'll eliminate all money from Californian society and return to a barter system."

My favorite review of the new Matrix movie comes from Wiliam Blaze:
The Matrix Reloaded is out to shatter that trope and its far more effective at calling attention to the structures of power. Remember those hippie "Question Reality" bumper stickers? Well the Matrix is getting people to question reality on a scale that Timothy Leary couldn't even dream of when high off his premium LSD + bullshit blend. The left has been content to release memes into their own marginal subcultures for far to long. The Matrix unleashes memes into the heart of pop culture. "Choice is an illusion created by those with power to control those without", says the Merovingian and the Architect adds in: "nearly 99.9% of all test subjects accepted the program, as long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious level."
And the cynical comments attached are just as interesting and insightful. "Here in the real world, the main result of The Matrix series will be a two billion dollar funds transfer from movie-goers (some who tend to be pretentious) to the AOL/Time-Warner Corporation. Nothing particularly left-wing or subversive in that."

Show Palace Theatre
670 Eighth Avenue,
New York,
3 people favorited this theater
Located on the East side of Eighth Avenue, between 42nd Street and 43rd Street. The Show Palace Theatre possibly opened in the late-1970's as it is not listed in 1976 but is listed in November 1980 as an 'All Male' movie theatre.
Recent comments (view all 15 comments)
Looking at the street view, it was a couple of storefronts to the left of the subway entrance. I guess it may have been closer to 43rd Street then I recall. I redirected the street view towards that part of the block.
The comedy club section of Show World is now Times Scare, a year-round haunted house and horror theme bar.
An old argument, Tinseltoes, that has some merit, but was ultimately settled long ago by the administrators of this site. You could level the same sort of criticism towards some of the shoddy strip-mall mutliplexes slapped together in the '70's and '80's that ran mainstream fare – or even those old Nickelodeons that were the precursors to modern cinema 100 years ago. Regardless of any one of our individual feelings about establishments such as the Show Palace, they have found a home here at Cinema Treasures and have been welcomed by a number of members. There are plenty of pages devoted to the grand palaces like the Roxy Theatre, Radio City Music Hall and the Paramount Theatre to serve folks who object to CT's liberal submission eligibility policies.
I immortalized the fabulous Show Palace in my best-selling novel, The Rope Above, the Bed Below, writing as 'Jason Fury.' I've mentioned it many times in my other novels. This was my favorite gay hangout during its heyday and I watched its downfall after the big AIDS scare of the l980s. I loved its unbridled hedonistic vibes, it's out-and-out enjoyment of nudity, sex, etc. When it shut down, it definitely marked an end to NYC's reign as the leader of gay pride and gay fun.
I just found out about this after finding the 1 about the gaiety. I have some memories about this place. I remember 1 man died of a heart attack there. (Its not the last place I'd wanna be.) The 1 good thing about this place was it was stag place, unlike the gaiety. I think it was different reasons it closed. I think everything on that sidewalk had to go. I passed by there last Oct. right before the hurricane. I see the entrance to where s.p. was is now a pretzel store. I wonder if the owners also owned that Eros place. I don't know how that place stayed in business.
Does ANYONE remember the name of the two theaters across the street next to Show World? I know there was at least one (I think two) adult theaters next to Show World on 8th ave between 42nd & 43rd Sts back in the 80's. Any help? Are they on this site?
I don't recall theaters immediately adjacent to Show World, GeorgeCheeksSr. Up along Eighth Avenue about a block up was the Cameo (which became the Playpen), and further up from there at 47th Street was the Hollywood Twin, and then the Adonis further still, around 50th Street. All of these were on the same side of Eighth Ave as the Show World, but not on the same block.
Aside from the theaters, I remember tons of bars, cabarets, novelty stores, peep shops, and adult book shops. Possible you may be thinking of some cabarets, where they may have had live sex shows on stage? They probably featured marquees above the entrance, like the cinemas did.
Unless you're thinking of the Venus, Eros, and Capri, theaters, which were all on the same block between 45th and 46th Streets, but on the other Eighth Ave – same side as Show Palace.
This site might help. http://galessandrini.blogspot.com/2012/08/42nd-street-in-mid-nineties-in-progress.html
On the Show World side of the street I thought there was at least one theater closer to 43rd st. It didn't have the big awning/sign that sat out over the sidewalk but I thought for sure there was an adult theater on that block. I must scour the net to see if I can find a picture of the full block during the 80's. If I can find it (right or wrong) I will post it. I wish there were more pictures of this time or a site like this for adult theaters.
GeorgeCheeksSr, if you scroll down on that site you will find your answer. Only peep shows co-existed on that block.
