Irwin Building
Irwin Hardware Building Escapes the Wrecking Ball
Nov 10, 2010
Garrettsville – Main Street has avoided the wrecking ball and will retain its storefront profile, thanks to action taken by Garrettsville Village Council and Mayor Craig Moser. "We are moving ahead with needed repairs on the Irwin Hardware Building," Moser reports. "Council authorized the mayor and clerk to do so at the October 21 meeting." Work has already begun on the two repair projects that will shore up the sagging Irwin Hardware Building and retain the four businesses that depend on its structural integrity. The building at 8143 Main Street is privately owned by Michelle R. Ward Clayton, but has stood vacant for years and is under foreclosure. Two adjacent buildings containing the businesses of Shiffer's Clock Repair & Sales, Miller's Lawn and Garden, Hearth & Home Fireplace Shoppe, and podiatrist Dr. Michael Maschek are structurally integrated with the Irwin building. These business owners would have been forced to relocate if the...
History Influences Council's Decision
Nov 10, 2010
Garrettsville - Garrettsville Village Council wrestled with the pros and cons of either demolishing or repairing the Irwin Hardware Building, with several members initially hesitant to allocate public monies for a privately-owned building. Despite the controversy, detractors had to agree that the privately-owned building has become a very public hazard, due to its deterioration in the heart of the business district. Village Council had no choice but to act before winter weather set in and caused even more structural damage. "It's in the whole town's best interest," says Council President Rick Patrick. "This is a good plan. Even if we had decided to tear down the building, it would have cost the village at least $100,000 --- then what? Just leave a gaping hole on historic Main Street? If this building came down, the whole block would go down with it." Speaking of historic Main Street, council members and contractors rediscovered...

'Let Parliament debate the deal first'
NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Tuesday asked the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government to refrain from taking any step for the next six months to operationalise the India-U.S. civilian nuclear deal.
At a rally near Parliament House to protest against the deal, CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat said the government should not buckle under U.S. pressure. "Let Parliament debate the nuclear deal first, and the government should consider widespread opinion among scientists and intellectuals which has been against the deal."
Not for political crisis
"We do not want a political crisis. But in a democracy, the opinion of people is what counts, and we represent the third biggest party in Parliament. We have been fighting against both communalism and imperialism, which pose a threat to our country. The government is fully aware of our political stand on the issue, and the stand-off should be resolved through dialogue," Mr. Karat said.
On the 123 Agreement, he said a majority in Parliament was against it, and it would not bring any benefit to the common man.
Protesters carried placards and banners saying "No to anti-national nuclear deal," "Stop deal or eject," "Nuclear deal mortgages India's independent foreign policy" and "Pro-U.S. policies, FDI in retail, massacre of four crore jobs."
Deviation from CMP
Mr. Karat used the rally to warn the UPA government that it was deviating from the Common Minimum Programme (CMP), which was agreed upon three years ago when the Left parties extended support to it. "Even today, the government is surviving on our support. Do not proceed further with the 123 Agreement in the wake of wide protests against it across the country," he said in his 20-minute address in Hindi.
Reminding the UPA government that the CMP did not refer to the India- U.S. strategic alliance and stood for pursuing an independent foreign policy, Mr. Karat expressed the fear that the nuclear deal would bind the country for 40 years. "American multinationals like Wal-Mart will enter the retail trade and small traders will be ruined. Under U.S. pressure, India will purchase nuclear power plants but the government is not telling the people that the nuclear power will cost dearly, at least twice the amount in comparison to the power generated through conventional means."

So I just ordered a chrome cast, which looks as if it's Google's answer to airplay. Is this going to be supported on the PLEX clients?

its not airplay at all. in the sense that i have x video stored on my phone. i cannot stream it from phone to tv.
what it does is.
I have video online somewhere. I am watching on my phone. i can tell tv to go to same website and play the same video.
and it just came out today like 12 hrs ago. why not let the devs buy one and try it out. then they will know if it will be supported

Can't "online" be defined a local web server? Maybe even a local web server running from your plex server.
The only real difference between the Internet and an Intranet is where the source is fed from.
I think it is entirely possible. Although not exactly airplay, sending it a web stream from a local source may accomplish nearly the same thing.
In fact we know using Plex Web Client in Chrome will work, so if any PLEX client advertises itself as a Chrome browser in order to stream, isn't that all that is needed.
I am not sure that last part is as easy as it sounds even with Chromium being open source.

MORGANTOWN — For the first time this season West Virginia has lost two consecutive games and now, also for the first time, is a sub-.500 football team at 3-4.
Going back into last season the Mountaineers are 5-10 over their last 15 games.
It's been a long time since wins have been that scarce in Morgantown.
In fact, you have to go back 26 years to find a worse stretch. At that time, West Virginia lost 10 of 13 games — beating only Rutgers, Louisville and Ohio U.
Surely, you say, they fired the coach.
His name, you see, was Don Nehlen and today he resides in the College Football Hall of Fame.
In fact, after his Mountaineers lost, 6-3, to Pitt, of all teams, in 1987 for their 10th loss in 13 games they went on to win 16 of the next 19 games, including stringing together an unbeaten 11-0 regular season the next year, 1988.
And, if you want to find the previous worst streak you have to go back to 1978 and 1979 when WVU dropped 12 of 13 games. That coach was fired and replaced by Nehlen. His name is Frank Cignetti … and he was honored in Morgantown on Saturday for his upcoming induction into the College Football Hall of Fame for the job he did at Indiana, Pa., after beating the cancer that he'd been battling while losing those games at West Virginia.
So, we offer a bit of advice right now and that is to be careful before pulling the trigger.
That said, do not consider this an endorsement of Dana Holgorsen.
In fact, there is little he's done to make any segment of WVU's family support him, be it in building a program, building media backing, building fan backing and even building backing from many of the big-time donors who are becoming disenchanted.
Winning, of course, can change all that and the time has come where Holgorsen has to begin winning or face the consequences.
He came into this season knowing it was a rebuilding year, although one might argue that the star players he lost had done no more than win 7 and lose 6 the previous year, the worst WVU record since 2001.
What's more, he faced a killer schedule up front … his first four Big 12 games being against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas Tech, considered the four best teams in the conference.
There now remain five league games and he needs to win three of them to be bowl eligible, which would only give him a 6-6 regular season, probably not enough to recommend him keeping his job, especially if he were to drop a decision in a minor bowl as he did last year in losing to Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl.
Facing Kansas State, TCU, Texas, Kansas and Iowa State is hardly Murderer's Row and one would say he really should need four victories in those five games plus a bowl game to assure himself job security.
The truth is, you would have a hard time finding too many people who would risk very much money that WVU will win three of those games.
Certainly, Kansas State is not a gimme, even though the Wildcats are tied for last in the Big 12 at 0-3 and 2-4 overall.
See, the game is at Manhattan and WVU has lost six of its last seven games away from its home stadium, being outscored in the losses by 268-111. They face the wily veteran coach Bill Snyder, who is coming off a bye week, meaning the man many believe to be the best coach in the conference year in and year out has 14 days to prepare for WVU.
Should WVU lose at K-State, will Holgorsen be able to hold this team together and move it forward as it goes on the road again the following week to play at TCU before hosting a Texas team that is in the fight for a Big 12 title, looking for revenge for last year's loss to WVU at home in Austin and playing for coach Mack Brown's job?
Remembering that last year's team came apart down the stretch, losing its team concept as the NFL seemed to be beckoning most of its star players, this year could present even a more difficult coaching challenge should the losing streak stretch to three games at Kansas State.
As Nehlen proved, things can turn around and do so in a hurry, but he was a veteran coach at the time who had a strong fundamental foundation built under a pair of Hall of Fame coaches in Doyt Perry and Bo Schembechler.

Explainer: People can sicken animals
Wildlife can sometimes become infected with germs shed by people
By Amanda Leigh Mascarelli, 14:21 PM April 17, 2013
Normally, doctors worry about how human illness will spread between people. But wildlife, too, can sometimes become infected with germs shed by people or their pets. And sometimes those germs may hit wild animals as hard — or harder — than they do people.
This is something that Melissa Miller has been studying for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in Santa Cruz. As a veterinary pathologist, Miller studies animals to determine their cause of illness or death. She and her cowork...

I ordered these a little over a week before my wedding. Not only did I get them in time, but they also called to make sure they would make it as needed (I had left a note in the order comments about needing them by Wednesday after I had ordered them) and they made the appropriate changes to shipping address with a small, affordable shipping upgrade. The design process was great b/c you could completely customize or use a color palette from previous couples. You had options for bolding, dragging text, font size, etc. which was nice I also liked the feature that allowed you to email the design to other folks.
Perfect for our wedding
This was the perfect sized program for our wedding ceremony. We're doing a smaller, more intimate ceremony, and I really didn't want to break the bank on the program. The fact that we could customize it with our colors made it even more perfect. I can't wait for people to see it the big day!

Steve Kim did not shoot anybody, nor did he intend tohe allegedly aimed his pistol skyward and pulled the trigger so that New York's bustling throngs would pause and pay attention to his poorly spelled pronouncements: "In a shinning and civilized 21st century, most people in the world enjoying peace and freedom. [North Koreans] however . . . don't even have the most basic of human rights." His action could be considered a political performance piece, a sacrificial gesture from a lone maverick whose intentions were just.
At least that's how a small corps of fellow South Korean immigrants interprets his one-man march. While the rest of the globe worries about Al Qaeda and Iraq, they're helplessly watching as the people of North Korea starve under a totalitarian ruler. More than half the population of 22 million is malnourished. Despite eyewitness reports that there are citizens who are so hungry they pick and eat the grass from state parks, General Secretary Kim Jong Il funnels most financial resources into the army and its nukesa situation that recently spurred donors like Japan and the United States to declare they'd wean North Korea off support.
For his Korean American supporters, Steve Kim is almost a martyr. What he did may not have been rational, they say, but it was fueled by principle. "There are two ways of looking at himone is to criticize him badly," says Henry Kim, owner of a New York City liquor store and executive director of North Korean Refugee Inc. "But I think he stuck up for what he believed in. He was brave."
Henry Kim read about Steve Kim in the Korea Times and sympathized with his motives, if not his actions. The shopkeeper made headlines himself in May 1997, when he embarked on a dangerous mission to help his twin brother and 13 others flee from North Korea to South Korea on a fishing boatthe first direct sea escape to the South. He wishes America would rouse from its oblivion to Kim Jong Il's draconian government. "Most people in this country don't pay attention. Even Korean Americans have not enough time to think [about the regime]. I want to see Koreans be more active, more engaged in politics. Steve Kim at least was making people aware."
Soon after his arrest, a loose confederation of groups in New York; Washington, D.C.; and Chicago banded together to campaign for Steve Kim. First-generation retailers, ministers, and greengrocers are shaving off time from their demanding jobs to rally for the father of two. New York's Human Rights Coalition for North Korean Refugees plans to raise money for his wife, Nancy Kim, who without her husband's paychecks is bereft. Byung Sun Soh, vice president of the Human Rights Coalition and a professional tenor, says they have already scraped together $1000 for her. They're also trying to raise money to hire a private attorney. Meanwhile, there's talk of a plea bargain, and of psychiatric testing. "A good lawyer wants $100,000, which we don't have yet," says Soh. "This takes time and we just started."
Soh calls Steve Kim "a great man" and asserts that his protest brought "big attention to the regime." One committee in Chicago is preparing a petition that endorses Kim's objectives and asks for leniency. Peter Lee, a lawyer who will spearhead the project, plans to circulate the letter around the Korean American community and send the signatures to the State Department, targeting lawmakers like Illinois representative Mark Kirk. When asked if he believed that Kim should be found innocent of his chargesranging from weapons possession to making a violent attack on foreign officialsPeter Lee replied, "It's not just that he's innocent or guilty. There is a range of penalties by the court. We want to shed some light into the motives and causes."
Family and friends of Steve Kim were shocked about the incident, which they say was out of character for him. Kim, his wife, and his adult sons, Steve and Michael, have lived in Des Plaines, Illinois, since 1982. After receiving his masters in math from Northeastern Illinois University, Kim worked as a mail processing clerk for 14 years. According to relatives and co-workers, he is a kind and civic-minded man who spends his free time reading poetry and listening to opera. He had no criminal record and had a spotless work history.
His modest life in America belies his history in South Korea, where he attended Yook Goon Sa, a military academy with the prestige of West Point. He was at the top of his class. In the army, he was promoted to major and joined the highly elite KAIST, a research group that recruits South Korea's top scientists, engineers, and academics. But in 1979, Kim sacrificed everything when he peacefully protested the ironfisted government of President Park Chung Hee. Despite his formidable stature, Kim assumed the role of a student demonstrator, parading alone down a main thoroughfare in Seoul and handing out leaflets opposing Park's leadership.
He was immediately arrested, stripped of his rank, and kicked out of KAIST. No one would hire him. The Kims were devastated. "Our life was miserable for three years after that," Nancy Kim says. "But then we moved to the United States and we had a very quiet life. Until now."
Family members are trying to win him clemency, especially Steve Kim Jr., who spoke on behalf of his father at a press conference in October. But for Nancy Kim, this new incarceration has forced a reliving of their earlier ordeal. Asked for a Korean copy of the leaflet, she refuses, saying it's too painful to look at.
His kin say they don't know what catalyzed Kim to act as he did after years of quiet living in Des Plaines. Not even his son Michael knew what Kim had in mind when they traveled to New York in September and took a tour of the UN. Two days before the incident, court papers show, Kim, imagining the worst, began surreptitiously starving himself in order to facilitate surgery if he was shot. Then, on October 3, he told his wife he was taking a vacation in Seattle, but instead boarded a morning train from Des Plaines to New York City, carrying a .357. At approximately 1:10 p.m., he clambered over to the western side of the Secretariat building and discharged the seven rounds. A couple of stray bullets pierced windows on the 18th and 20th floors, barely missing employees. Kim dropped his gun, released the pamphlets, and backed away. The guards were on him in an instant.
Otherwise, he's looking at up to 16 years in prison, but the support of people like Henry Kim and Byung Sun Soh may indicate he hasn't forfeited so much freedom for a mere few minutes in the news. In a letter responding to written inquiries, Kim explained that he couldn't answer due to a pending hearing. But in a large, looping script, he expressed appreciation for the interest and signed off, "Waiting for better times . . . "

In this group I want to be able to help those musicians who want to "put feet to their music". Which means to take it somewhere, to set goals and reach them, to make this music thing happen. I want to give counsel through example and then give application.
Website: http://tedyoder.com
Members: 71
Latest Activity: Mar 6
So my idea for this group is that I would like to share tips and actions that I've taken to put feet to my music. But it's not just all about me. This is more about you and where you want to go and be. Let's talk here and see what we can accomplish together.
I still have a long way to go, at least I have a ton of goals to reach still, but that's really what I'm wanting to build here. A community of musicians who need each other to get somewhere. My producer and friend told me that you only need one person to really believe in you. So let's see if we can start there.
Let's move mountains together.

If you're using anything like garageband or anything a little better, it should have a timing option in it to help pull certain tracks in time to the meter of the song. You can easily do that to a guitar track to help lock it into place with the rhythm track.
Like I said, keep at it. Great job but try to lock in a little tighter and you'll start to hear a difference.
What software are you using to compose this material?
On a side note and by way of encouragement. Take time and concentrate on your lead track, in this case the guitar lead. Make sure it's in the pocket, in rhythm and on time. That would make a huge difference int he quality and how it sounds.
My producer and friend always challenges me with my timing, listening, and in taking time to get it right. It's worth it in the end to not rush something out the door.
Thanks for stepping out and making something happen. Keep up the work.

It is not a textbook that tries to be comprehensive as a source of MATLAB information. It does contain a large number of links to MATLAB's extensive online resources. This information has been invaluable to me as this work was developed. The version of MATLAB used in the preparation of this textbook is MATLAB 2014b. This version implements a new graphics system.

This book is more elementary and is more applied than the earlier book. However, my impression is that this book presents linear algebra in a form that is somewhat more advanced than one finds in contemporary undergraduate linear algebra courses.

FDA Approves New "Gummy Bear" Breast Implants, But Albany Plastic Surgeon Urges Caution
Who doesn't like gummy bears? As soft, squishy and delicious as the nickname for cohesive gel silicone implants sounds, Albany, NY Plastic Surgeon, Dr. William F. DeLuca urges patients to be cautious given some of their disadvantages when compared to the current generation of smooth silicone breast implants.
Albany, NY (PRWEB) April 17, 2013
It's becoming more important than ever for plastic surgeons to be extra careful with any new cosmetic product. Generally, the naming of medical products is highly regulated to ensure that their names carry no pre-established connotations that could influence consumer response to the safety and quality of the product. This is why Botox is not called "Wrinkles-Go-Bye-Bye-Tox."
However, the success of SmartLipo, Cool Lipo and other cosmetic devices that use suggestive language within their brand names (in this case, 'cohesive silicone gel´ implants becomes 'gummy bear' implants) has lead other manufactures to follow suit. After all, who doesn't want their liposuction machine to be "smart" (see SmartLipo) or their breast implants to be soft and squishy like "gummy-bears"? Many surgeons are carrying this marketing technique into their practices as well, by giving common procedures a catchy name like the "facebook facelift", prompting consumers or potential patients to form opinions, even before a consultation.
"Gummy bear" breast implants (also called "solid cohesive gel" or "form stable" breast implants) are the latest generation in a long line of breast prosthesis made using cohesive silicone gel. They have been in use throughout Europe and other parts of the world for roughly 15 years and are manufactured by Mentor, Allergan and Sientra (who gained approval in March 2012). On February 22, 2013 the FDA approved Allergan´s cohesive gel implant, called the Natrelle 410.
Like all new products, cohesive gel implants aim to improve upon older models, namely 4th generation silicone gel, which were re-approved by the FDA in 2006 after one of the most extensive research studies in medical history. Compared to today´s silicone gel, "gummy bear" breast implants are firmer, and do, as their unofficial name suggests, maintain the consistency of candy "gummy bears".
One of the most unique features of the new cohesive gel implants is their ability to be manufactured into form-stable shapes that mimic the tear-drop shape of a natural breast. The implant manufacturers also claim that form stable implants will not leak if ruptured and thus are safer long term than today´s silicone gel implants. And while smart marketing has generated quite a bit of interest in them from perspective breast augmentation patients, quite a few plastic surgeons are pushing back against suggestions of superiority to today´s softer silicone gel.
"I urge caution for everyone interested in cohesive gel implants and would not recommend them to a majority of my own augmentation patients for several reasons, chief among them being that in most breasts, smooth silicone implants will produce a more naturally looking, feeling and moving result" says board certified plastic surgeon Dr. William F. DeLuca of DeLuca Plastic Surgery. "I also think it´s important to understand that today´s silicone implants are backed up by over 30 years of clinical research, testing, innovation and real-world use."
And yet, despite the lack of consistent or superior results, gummy bear implants remain a regular topic of discussion during breast augmentation consultations. Which is perfectly alright with Dr. DeLuca, "Patient education is a key part of the cosmetic surgery process. Objective, unbiased info goes a long way towards minimizing the chance of a patient expecting their result to be like X but end up like Y. The patient needs to feel completely at ease and well informed about the procedures they are interested in."
Proponents of cohesive gel implants point out that many of their clinical trial patients feel that the long-term safety benefit (which the more solid and durable implant claims to have) is worth the cost of a less naturally feeling and looking breast. However, Dr. DeLuca, cautions that "the semi-solid gel in these implants has not been studied long-term, so their claims of no leaking may not prove true over 2-plus decades of use."
In terms of the surgery itself, the incision site is longer,. which contradicts current trends in plastic surgery to make incisions as inconspicuous as possible. The cohesive gel implants are also more expensive than traditional silicone implants.
Other medical products that Dr. DeLuca sees more of his patients asking about during their consultation include one that insert words like "Smart" or "Cool" or "Slim" into their official (or unofficial) brand name " Dr. DeLuca explained.
Dr. DeLuca went on to explain that with cohesive gel implants the surgeon must be very precise with both his pocket dissection and placement because of the shape and rigidity of form-stable implants. If the breast pocket is either over or under dissected, or one of the form-stable implants is not placed perfectly, it will be much more obvious than with other implants, leaving patients dissatisfied.
"Despite good intentions on the part of plastic surgeons, wide-spread use of form-stable breast implants will most likely result in more patients needing breast revision surgery rather than less, because of the extra precision they require compared to smooth silicone implants." said Dr. DeLuca.
That said, Dr. DeLuca does agree with studies that demonstrate a benefit in a very limited set of patient cases. Specifically, "gummy bear" implants have been shown to perform quite well when used in breast reconstruction surgery for mastectomy patients.
"Because mastectomy patients have had all of their breast tissue removed, these cohesive gel implants, both in theory and practice, work very well. The larger scar tissue is not a factor given reconstruction patients already have large incisions from the mastectomy that the surgeon can make use of." stated Dr. DeLuca.

I need help with a couple of things on my wordpress installation, i have googled alot but doesn't seem to find my answers.
What I want to create is an exams page and once passed the exam a badge will be showed on the user profile, all in front end. I don't know if below is doable with WP or if i should look into another solution but i would appriciate any kind of help...
So this is how it would work, you browse to the WP site, and the first thing you see is a login screen, you need to signup in order to get access to the WPsite, once that is done depending on what role the user have he would see different things (classes & tests) on the menu, and he will have a "my profile" link as well where his profile is showing with which tests he/she have passed.
On top of below I would need some kind of document library where managers can add documents and edit documents I would prefer google docs so managers can edit docs in realtime
I know I might require a couple of plugins, but i would appriciate any kind of help here, or this is maybe not doable with wordpress, what do you guys say?

Must See_"Discovering the Civil War" Exhibit @ National Archives until Sept. 6
As our own beloved Fort City approaches the Sesquicentennial of the "War Between the States" or more commonly known as the United States Civil War, the National Archives is getting a jump-start on festivities being planned throughout the country with the recent opening of part one of its two part "Discovering the Civil War" exhibit.
Opening on Friday, April 30, the exhibit has received mixed reviews (Wash Post here / NY Times here), but as natives we need to ensure, as time permits, we visit to prevent the exhibit from becoming the exclusive domain of the annual summer swell of occupying tourists. We have until September 6 to see this exhibit.
One of The Syndicate's favorite Civil War footnotes is the story of Johnny Shiloh, who became the youngest noncommissioned officer in Army history at the age of 12.
With the recent news coming out of Virginia and Mississippi sparking debate about how we publically remember the Civil War, it is critical that the Millennial generation produce our own version of Ken Burns, Shelby Foote, or John Hope Franklin so we don't walk around numbed and dumbed up not knowing whose footsteps we are stepping in.
Admission is free. The exhibit will be presented in two parts. The first runs April 30-Sept. 6, the second Nov. 10-April 17. National Archives hours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., March 15-Labor Day, and 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., day after Labor Day-March 14.

Civil War enthusiasts & volunteers needed this Saturday at Fort Bunker Hill Park clean up in NE
Dream City, Divided City, Dodge City, Drama City, and Diamond City are some of the vernacular names for the city. The Syndicate recognizes the city's claim as the Fort City.
According to the National Park Service, "In 1860, the Union capital, Washington, D.C., was a sleepy city of approximately 62,000 residents. The city sat almost completely unprotected, with Fort Washington, the lone fortification, being 12 miles south. Virginia, a Confederate state, lay on one side of the city, and Maryland, a slave-owning state, was on the other, leaving Washington dangerously vulnerable. Realizing the potential danger the city faced, the Union army constructed additional fortifications for the city. By 1865, the Defenses of Washington included 68 forts, supported by 93 detached batteries for field guns, 20 miles of rifle pits, and covered ways, wooden blockhouses at three key points, 32 miles of military roads, several stockaded bridgeheads, and four picket stations. Along the circumference of the 37-mile circle of fortifications were emplacements for a total of 1501 field and siege guns of which 807 guns and 98 mortars were in place. The defenseless city of 1860 had become one of the most heavily fortified cities of the world."
One of the these forts, Fort Bunker Hill Park at 14th & Otis Street NE is in need of preservationist volunteers and city historians this Saturday, April 10th to participate in Park Day, sponsored since 1996 by the Civil War Preservation Trust.
Fort Bunker Hill was built in the fall of 1861 by the 11th Massachusetts Infantry and was named after the Revolutionary fortification at Bunker Hill, Massachusetts. It occupied an important position between Fort Totten and Fort Lincoln. Thirteen guns and mortars were mounted in the fort. Unfortunately, little evidence of Fort Bunker Hill is still visible. It is bounded by 14th, Otis, 13th, and Perry Streets, NE.
Fort Bunker Hill climbs to 226 feet (68.88 meters) above sea level. Fort Bunker Hill is located at latitude – longitude coordinates (also called lat – long coordinates or GPS coordinates) of N 38.935389 and W -76.988031.
According to the Friends of Fort Bunker Hill Park, founded in 2009 by a concerned group of neighbors who wanted to contribute to the renovation and upkeep of Fort Bunker Hill Park, "During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps worked on the park, planting trees, construction walkways and building a picnic ground and amphitheater. The amphitheater originally had space to entertain over 400 people. The picnic ground was located in the southwest corner and had 12 picnic tables with benches for those who wished to enjoy the outdoor eating facilities. By July of 1938, the National Park Service began a series of "Thursday after-sunset recreational programs" using the amphitheater as its primary location. "
All able bodied and able minded men, women, and children are need and all are welcome this Saturday, April 10th from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm at the corner of 14th & Otis St. NE to work alongside the U.S. National Park Service, Ward 5 Councilmember Harry Thomas, Jr., and members of the Brookland Neighborhood Civic Association, Michigan Park Citizens Association, and Greater Brookland Garden Club.
What to Bring: Gloves, Clippers, Water

Despite having a small screen, these games are lots of fun and it's really mainly because the graphics are extremely good. Despite having adequate graphics, if the playability wasn't good, no one would bother downloading these games. Thankfully for everyone, it's there too and these games start to compete with standalone portable game sets. This isn't to say they're as well level yet; though time and constant improvements on the Android OS side as well as the developers getting even better, it will become a far more widely discussed topic.

Women vs Men: Not So Parallel (parked)
- A British study billed as "the most comprehensive ever conducted on gender driving differences" has concluded that women are better at parking cars than men. The study, which relied on surveillence camera footage of over 2,500 drivers across 700 parking garages, was devised by professional driving instructor Neil Beeson, and produced by car park firm NCP.
Among its findings: Women are better than men at tracking down spaces, lining up with the parking space, and reversing into spots "by the book." Meanwhile, men are better at entering spaces while driving forward, and exhibit more confidence than their female counterparts, leading to quicker parking decisions.

He is the youngest chef to have received three stars from The New York Times.
He is a two-time James Beard Foundation Award winner. He has three Michelin stars. He was recognized as one of the "Great Chefs in America" by the Culinary Institute of America.
His name is Marcus Samuelsson and he is a culinary force to be reckoned with.
Clearly, he is not new on the scene, but what he brings to the palate is anything but old.
"I've always been very confident in my own capability. But it's a thin line between confidence and arrogance and you don't want to peak over and be arrogant about it. I'm confident. Just give me a shot, and I'll do well, " Samuelsson said.
But it seems as if he's always opened his own doors, not looking for any handouts. "It's always been positive doors open to me because I think I've had passion and positivity and work ethic. I think my parents gave that to me and my grandparents gave that to me," he said. "I've always been very lucky."
At 37 years old, Samuelsson has a resume that not only includes four restaurants, several best-selling cookbooks, a restaurant consulting company and a cooking show on the Discovery Home Channel, it also includes a few "most important" endeavors: being an ambassador for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and a mentor to high school students participating in the national careers through culinary arts program.
Samuelsson was born in Ethiopia in 1970. At the age of 3, his mother died after falling victim to the tuberculosis epidemic that had swept through his homeland.
He and his sister found refuge at a Swedish field hospital in nearby Addis Ababa.
Samuelsson and his sister were soon adopted by the Samuelsson family of Goteborg, Sweden.
"I was born in Ethiopia, and I was raised in Sweden and I think that will always shape me -- being adopted, being raised in Sweden. I couldn't imagine a bigger contrast of countries really," he said.
He remembers growing up Nordic fondly. "Our grandmother came to us after school. She always cooked or my mom cooked. I always got home cooking. Summertime we went up to the west coast and we lived in my father's birthplace, which was a fishing village. There you had to always work with food, whether it was smoking mackerel or fishing mackerel, or helping out with herrings. … Food has always been on my mind, and in my life as long as I remember. And maybe for the first three years it was a lack of food. We were not healthy when we came to Sweden, but it's always been -- food's always been really good to me."
But something called him back to Africa.
Samuelsson's sister decided to seek out their biological father.
"I never thought that I would meet my dad. It was really my sister that led that whole thing and was really more curious about that. I'm so grateful that she did. I have eight new sisters and brothers," he said. "It's pretty amazing, but I guess it was meant to be because they live out in the countryside, very basic, very simple, and now I'm connected to a very simplistic beautiful culture. It's complex in its simplicity."

In no hurry: Bulls typically deliberate in Tom Thibodeau deliberations
In many ways, Tom Thibodeau and Bulls' management are operating in a business as usual mode this offseason.
In many ways, Tom Thibodeau and Bulls' management are operating in a business as usual mode this offseason.
The Tribune's Brad Biggs answers your questions in his weekly mailbag.
SAN FRANCISCO — The NFL is moving back extra-point kicks and allowing defenses to score on conversion turnovers.
The lawyer representing the family of former Blackhawks player Steve Montador, who died Feb. 15 and whose autopsy revealed he suffered from extensive CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), said Friday he was "shocked" when he was watching Game 3 of the Western Conference finals and he read a tweet...
With barely seven minutes left in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Thursday, Ducks forward Kyle Palmieri shouldered Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane hard and clean into the boards, knocking Kane to his knees and leaving him to struggle back to the bench.
A smile was pasted on Trevor van Riemsdyk's face, even though it seems like tape has been holding the rest of his body together during the last six months.
The Bulls don't have as much at stake in the NBA draft as a lottery team does, but that's not to say they don't have needs that the 22nd pick in the June 25 draft could satisfy: depth, offense, youth, for instance.
If the rumors are true and coach Tom Thibodeau is history, will the Bulls trade him and what would they receive in return? --Michael, Chicago
PHOENIX — Marques Haynes, the legendary Harlem Globetrotters showman often called the greatest dribbler in basketball history, has died. He was 89.
All the action from Chase Field.
PHOENIX – Manager Joe Maddon had a quick response when he was told that the last Cubs' hit with runners in scoring position occurred against the Pirates.
PHOENIX -- It's axiomatic that David Ross will catch in games started by left-hander Jon Lester.
Jose Abreu suffered a pinched finger while swinging the bat Thursday against the Indians, but he was in the lineup Friday night against the Twins.
The summary
All the action from U.S. Cellular Field.
MINNEAPOLIS — John Kravetz threw his first career shutout and top-seeded Illinois stayed alive in the Big Ten Tournament by beating Michigan State 2-0 on Friday night.
The families of seven former Illinois women's basketball players sent a letter to the university Thursday expressing their disappointment with the handling of an investigation into the program, according to a report in the Daily Illini, the school newspaper.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame junior Eddie Glazener's final warm-up before Saturday's NCAA lacrosse semifinal against Denver University will take place in a tunnel at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field.
CHARLESTON, Ill. — Even after all the races Brittny Ellis has run on the O'Brien Stadium track, she'll be moving into uncharted territory on Saturday.
The 10-goal outburst was ultimately all the scoring St. Ignatius needed, but it was only the half of it.
There was only one varsity high school coaching position Tai Streets has ever wanted: to lead Thornton's boys basketball program.
A day after the U.S. Olympic Committee announced the release of more tickets for American fans wanting to attend the 2016 Summer Games, the provider postponed sales Tuesday because of an "unforeseen technical issue."
Boston's troubled bid for the 2024 Olympics took another ding Monday, when a key U.S. Olympic leader suggested the city was no sure thing to remain the American candidate for the games.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jason Johnson scored 4 minutes into stoppage time to give the Chicago Fire a 2-2 tie with the Columbus Crew on Friday night.
For once, a major FIFA election is untainted by claims of vote-buying.

More than 750 people put on their best "Born To Be Wild" attitudes and attire Saturday night at the 39th annual SCV Boys and Girls Club benefit auction.
The auction, which was held in the grassy amphitheater at Mann BioMedical Park, featured fabulous live auction items consisting of: exciting trips, fancy jewelry, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and a car provided by Valencia Acura.
Weekend getaways, entertainment, dining, home improvement and other accessories were available through hundreds of bid boards.
The guests enjoyed an evening under the stars listening to live music from Lee & The Real Deal while savoring gourmet cuisine from Salt Creek Grille and Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Company.
Master of Ceremonies Rick Chambers introduced guests to auctioneer Mark Schenfel, who quickly worked the crowd into a bidding frenzy.
Before Schenfel could auction anything off, however, Mark Justice and Maria Green celebrated the fact that they held a winning opportunity drawing ticket and got to choose any live auction item, which would be taken out of the bidding. Their pick was the Lakers VIP fan package, valued at $10,000.
A truly moving moment happened as guests at the event were presented with a video projection of parents talking about their struggles with their children and their gratitude for the club while a group club members were on the stage.
All the proceeds from this auction will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley Foundation. For more information please visit their website, www.scvbgc.org.
