One World Trade Center named tallest US building
Wednesday - 11/13/2013, 8:58am EST
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) -- They set out to build the tallest skyscraper in the world -- a giant that would rise a symbolic 1,776 feet from the ashes of ground zero.
Those aspirations of global supremacy fell by the wayside long ago, but New York won a consolation prize Tuesday when an international architectural panel said it would recognize One World Trade Center as the tallest skyscraper in the United States.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, considered a world authority on supersized skyscrapers, announced its decision at simultaneous news conferences in New York and Chicago, home to the 1,451-foot Willis Tower, which is being dethroned as the nation's tallest building.
Measuring the height of a building would seem to be a simple thing, but in the case of the new World Trade Center tower it is complicated by the 408-foot-tall needle atop the skyscraper's roof.
The council's verdict rested on a conclusion that the needle should be counted as part of the building's total height. Without it, the tower would be just 1,368 feet tall, the same height as the original World Trade Center. That would make it smaller than not only the Willis, but also a 1,397-foot apartment building being built a short subway ride away near Central Park.
Speaking at his office in New York, council chairman Timothy Johnson, an architect at the global design firm NBBJ, said the decision by the 25-member height committee had more "tense moments" than usual, given the skyscraper's importance as a patriotic symbol.
"I was here on 9/11. I saw the buildings come down," he said.
Over the past few months, the council had hinted that it might be open to changing its standards for measuring ultra-tall buildings, given a trend toward developers adding "vanity height" to towers with huge, decorative spires.
But the council also has a history of disallowing antennas in height calculations. The Empire State Building's landmark 204-foot needle isn't counted in its height measurement. Neither are the two TV antennas atop the Willis Tower, which had been the country's tallest building since it was completed -- and named the Sears Tower -- in 1974.
But in the end, there was unanimity on the committee that One World Trade Center's reach for 1,776 feet -- a number that echoes the founding year of the United States -- was an artistic architectural expression.
"This was a quest to put something meaningful and symbolic on that site because of the horrible history of what happened on that site," said Antony Wood, the council's executive director.
Tourists photographing the skyscraper Tuesday mostly agreed that when it comes to height measurements, this spire should count.
"For any other building, no. But for this one, yes," said Cary Bass, of Lake Mary, Fla., as he waited to enter the National Sept. 11 Memorial at the new skyscraper's feet. "Those people deserve it," he said, referring to the attack victims.
"It's a special building," said Paul Schlagel, visiting from Longmont, Colo.
When architect Daniel Libeskind won a public design competition for the World Trade Center master plan in 2003, his original vision was for a twisting, angular spire filled with hanging gardens.
Height was part of the appeal. At the time, his design of 1,776 feet would have made the so-called "Freedom Tower" the tallest skyscraper in the world.
Libeskind's drawings were always meant to be conceptual, though, and the real-world designs produced by architect David Childs and the tower's owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, reduced that glass spire to a more conventional cable-stayed mast, which would support broadcast equipment and a rotating beacon, visible for 50 miles.
That change, along with another that removed a layer of decorative cladding, had created some doubt about how the council might rule.
If they were to stand side by side, the Willis Tower would probably appear to be the larger building to most bystanders. In fact, someone standing in the Willis Tower's observation deck would have to look down to see One World Trade Center's roof.
This marks the second time that the Willis Tower has lost a "tallest" title in a disputed decision.
Back in 1996, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat sparked controversy when it declared the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia taller than the Willis. That decision, like the one involving One World Trade Center, also rested on whether to count slender, decorative spires in the total height measurement.

I live in the country, and I would like to know what my rights are in protecting my property from a number of dogs running loose in the area? What can I do?
There is no animal control service for rural Douglas County. You can call the Lawrence Humane Society for help with troublesome dogs, director Midge Grinstead said.
The Humane Society will send someone out and if it is a vicious dog they will chase it until it is caught, she said. If the dog is not aggressive and the landowner is able to hold or keep it, the society will send someone out to get it when they have time.
It is against state law to shoot a dog unless it is threatening the lives of livestock or humans, Grinstead said.

Releasing most likely on May 9, Amol Gupte's next venture 'Hawaa Hawaai' seems in line with the director's usual vein that consist of inspirational and heart warming stories revolving around children. This particular one revolving around a child from an underprivileged background who dreams of being an inline skating champ and his coach who trains him against all odds.
The trailer soars to music composed by Hitesh Sonik. The track 'Sar Utha Ke' captures perfectly the movie's tone and emphasis on dreaming big.
The movie stars 'Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge' star Saqeeb Salim and Partho Gupte from 'Stanley ka Dabba'.
Gupte has also added two children from his organisation Aseema School who shine in the trailer and also are reported to play pivotal roles in the film. He has also gone the extra step to include national level skating champions, highlighting the director's penchant for authenticity.
The trailer teases at taking the movie beyond a typical underdog story and moves toward the excellence Gupte is known to craft.
Hold back potential tears and let us know your thoughts:

Bellator Heavyweight tourney ends with soccer kick to groin
The Bellator Fighting Championships' season-five heavyweight tournament came down to Eric Prindle and Thiago Santos last night, with the winner taking the tournament crown and a title shot against Heavyweight champion Cole Konrad. But there was no winner.
Early in the first Santos soccer kicked Prindle's groin. Not a football punt against a standing opponent, but a kick the ball downfield right through the center of an open guard.
When Prindle rose, the pain was plain on his face. After conferring with New Jersey State Athletic Control Board officials, it was declared that Prindle was unable to continue. Referee Greg Frankli declined to declare a foul, and as insufficient time had passed to go to the judges score cards, the bout was a no-contest.
Prindle's twitter provides a window on the fight, from lead in, to flight home, to the NSFW results of the foul.
(Groin kick at :58 mark)

There have been many great Indian chiefs throughout history. To become an Indian chief, you had to prove that you were strong, brave, and a great leader.

You have probably heard of many of the more famous Indian chiefs. Cochise was the Indian chief of the Apache. He was known as a fierce warrior and led a resistance against both the Mexicans and the white man in the 1800s. The Apaches lived in what is now known as northern Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona. Cochise was captured and escaped many times before his final capture. He refused to leave what he felt was his people's land and eventually lived out his life on an Arizona reservation. Another famous Indian chief who was also an Apache was Geronimo. Like Cochise, he also made many daring escapes when captured, but was never allowed to return to his home land. He was contained at Fort Sill, Oklahoma as a prisoner. Despite that, he became somewhat of a celebrity in his old age. He appeared at the 1904 World's Fair and other fairs, selling photographs and souvenirs before his death in 1909.
Sitting Bull was a famous Sioux Indian chief. He was the Indian chief that battled General George Custer and the United States 7th Calvary at the Battle of Little Bighorn. The mixture of Sioux and Cheyenne Indians annulated the Army and was perhaps the most famous of all Indian battles. Like Geronimo, Sitting Bull enjoyed the limelight later in life. He toured with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. It is said that he cursed the audiences in his own language, much to their amusement.
Most Indian chiefs today are very peaceful compared to those of long ago. But despite whether peaceful or fierce, Indian chiefs have earned the respect of their people.

- Definition
Acetaminophen is widely used for its analgesic and antipyretic properties
It is now the most common drug for self poisoning, probably owing to its widespread use and its over-the-counter (OTC) availability
The toxic dose is approx. 140mg/kg
In the adult, hepatic toxicity is possible following a dose of only 7g; in patients taking enzyme-inducing drugs this "threshold" dose is lower
Fatalities can occur after a dose of 10-15g
Acetaminophen toxicity involves a primary centrilobular hepatic necrosis, but may also produce renal and pancreatic damage, cardiovascular collapse, and coma
Measurement of the acetaminophen blood level in overdose allows estimation of likely outcome, and so can be used to guide treatment
Acetaminophen toxicity is increased where there is enzyme induction
Hepatotoxicity is caused by a metabolite of acetaminophen, and not by the parent drug
Only 10% of patients develop a significant rise in hepatic enzymes
Acetaminophen is rapidly absorbed from the gut, and is metabolized by the liver where the metabolites are conjugated with glutathione and are then excreted in the urine. In acetaminophen poisoning, the conjugation pathways become saturated either by an overwhelming availability of the substrate or through a reduction in glutathione, and the toxic metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine is available to bind to hepatocytes, causing a centrilobular hepatic necrosis
Patients with reduced glutathione stores (malnutrition, AIDS, and anorexia nervosa), or those taking hepatic enzyme-inducing drugs (phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, isoniazid, and chronic alcohol), are at a greater risk from acetaminophen toxicity
Treatment with N-acetylcysteine increases the availability of glutathione and is lifesaving
In the small number of fatalities, death usually occurs between days 3 and 5 postingestion from multiorgan failure

Thank you, I have just now sent a report.
I was wondering this too. I was just looking to start a game with "open seeks" and there was this person who filled up the seeks. I came back later, and same guy with all the seeks filled.
I went to view his /her page, and saw his adverage game lasted 3 days, and 3 to 8 moves. I saw very few games that went above 10 moves, although there were some.
This tells me he isn't really into playing, but is giving the site a bad feel, especially to a new member. Well, my feelings anyway.
I fairly new too, and don't feel I have the right to "red flag" someone, so, what should I do, other than just not play him, which I'm not. But I am wondering about new players who may be turned off by this "abuse". Yes, my opinion, but hey I have one.
I forgot to say he has 1705 games going right now. Playing 18 hours a day, if I figured right, that's about 94 moves an hour. I allowed for sleep (6 hours) and meals while he is playing.

Sentencing Today For Former Mingo County Prosecutor
Former Mingo County prosecutor Michael Sparks is scheduled to be sentenced today after admitting his role in a corruption case. The sentencing has been delayed four times. Former Circuit Judge Michael Thornsbury, Sparks, and former county commissioner David Baisden all admitted to playing part in a plot to deprive a man of his constitutional rights to protect the late sheriff, Eugene Crum, who was accused of buying drugs from him. Prosecutors say Sparks' role wasn't as significant as the others, and his cooperation in the investigation is being taken into account. Sparks has been charged with misdemeanor deprivation of rights, and he faces up to one year in prison.

Month after oil spill, why is BP still in charge?
WASHINGTON Days after the Gulf Coast oil spill, the Obama administration pledged to keep its "boot on the throat" of BP to make sure the company did all it could to cap the gushing leak and clean up the spill.
But a month after the April 20 explosion, anger is growing about why BP PLC is still in charge of the response.
"I'm tired of being nice. I'm tired of working as a team," said Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana.
"The government should have stepped in and not just taken BP's word," declared Wayne Stone of Marathon, Fla., an avid diver who worries about the spill's effect on the ecosystem.
That sense of frustration is shared by an increasing number of Gulf Coast residents, elected officials and environmental groups who have called for the government to simply take over.
In fact, the government is overseeing things. But the official responsible for that says he still understands the discontent.
"If anybody is frustrated with this response, I would tell them their symptoms are normal, because I'm frustrated, too," said Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen.
"Nobody likes to have a feeling that you can't do something about a very big problem," Allen told The Associated Press Friday.
Still, as simple as it may seem for the government to just take over, the law prevents it, Allen said.
After the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, Congress dictated that oil companies be responsible for dealing with major accidents - including paying for all cleanup - with oversight by federal agencies. Spills on land are overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency, offshore spills by the Coast Guard.
"The basic notion is you hold the responsible party accountable, with regime oversight" from the government, Allen said. "BP has not been relieved of that responsibility, nor have they been relieved for penalties or for oversight."
He and Coast Guard Adm. Mary Landry, the federal onsite coordinator, direct virtually everything BP does in response to the spill - and with a few exceptions have received full cooperation, Allen said.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was even more emphatic.
"There's nothing that we think can and should be done that isn't being done. Nothing," Gibbs said Friday during a lengthy, often testy exchange with reporters about the response to the oil disaster.
There are no powers of intervention that the federal government has available but has opted not to use, Gibbs said.
Asked if President Barack Obama had confidence in BP, Gibbs said only: "We are continuing to push BP to do everything that they can."
The White House is expected to announce Saturday that former Florida Sen. Bob Graham and ex-EPA Administrator William K. Reilly will lead a presidential commission investigating the oil spill. Graham is a Democrat. Reilly served as EPA administrator under President George H.W. Bush. The commission's inquiry will range from the causes of the spill to the safety of offshore oil drilling.
BP spokesman Neil Chapman said the federal government has been "an integral part of the response" to the oil spill since shortly after the April 20 explosion.

Also nice for take along fun, Neat Oh Dinosaur Brings Along Backpack(19.99)
SNAP: Play settings and boxes for storing playthings can enhance playtime. Clean up time becomes another opportunity to sort playthings, as well. A storage box for animals, aone for vehicles another for blocks, perhaps can go a long way to staying ahead of chaos and a much better idea than one big toy box where everything gets lost in the shuffle. We like the idea of the big play setting that unzips with these Neat-oh containers.

This is the buy of the year as toy kitchens go...the tabletop toy has a working faucet that circulates the water in the sink for splish-splashing good fun. Unlike so many toy kitchens, this really has a sink big enough to wash dishes, not to mention getting to play in water. However there are two issues you need to know up front: 1) no soap bubbles* are allowed since they might clog up the works and 2) real hand strength is needed to get the water action going. Of course, this can be messy, but good play often is exactly that. Adding to the value, this combo sink and stove takes up very little space but has a lot of pretend play built into the affordable mini-setting. The stove has knobs that click and the young chef will love cooking with and cleaning up a fry pan two dishes, cups, and cutlery that comes with the set.
*the manufacturer says the thick soap suds might clog up the pump, but suggests that watered down dish soap or bubbles won't hurt the plastic and should be all right.
SNAP: Put this on a table top for kids who are in a wheelchair. The water faucet does require hand power and may be too hard for some. It is otherwise a terrific water toy/ pretend prop for dramatic play.

Our test family gave this kitchen setting very high grades. Our three-year old tester's mom tells us "he is having a ball with it..." He loves every detail of this kitchen and especially likes to make them Cappuccino and asking them if "we need some coffee?" She likes the fact that it went together easily and is also being enjoyed for pretend play by his six and seven-year old siblings. Although some of the hanging pieces do not stay in place, they had no complaints. It has been used daily since it arrived and as our tester's mom wrote, she is impressed with the durability of Little Tikes products... "if three boys can't destroy it, it has to be made well." We like the fact that his kitchen is not gender specific and will be enjoyed for years of dramatic play by boys and girls. 2 +

Forget the old black Doctor's bag that kids played with for generations. Young medics now have a van that is loaded with lights, sounds EKG, stethoscope, thermometer, and bandage dispenser to care for their ailing dolls or playmates. There is even a gurney and seat for the teddy bear or doll in need of medical attention. Oh, and yes, it even plays the Doc Mobile song. A very large piece of plastic with a ladder and door that didn't always stay on; but that said, for Doc McStuffins fans found this is a play setting with lots of potential.

Newest take on Fur Real Friends: A very cute Furry White pooch on a bright pink leash. Use the remote to take her for a walk or make her sit. If you talk to her she responds with little barks that will not scare anyone. There is also an free app that you can down load with more ways to play. For the child who longs for a puppy who may be allergic to real fur or live where pets are not possible, this is the next best choice. It's not going to take the place of a real pet, but it can be quite satisfying for a while, and doesn't need house-breaking, either. 4 & up.
SNAP: A good toy too motivate active and interactive play. Getting the puppy to move motivates kids to use fine motor skills to use the remote and large motor skills to walk the pup around. The pup also responds to your talking, so this is a toy for all kinds of active learning and play. Even recalling how to make the pup bark wag its tail tilt her head and walk involve curiosity, discovery and memory.

Our tester loves the see-through elevator that runs up and down the outside of this three-story house with chalk siding so kids can customize the exterior walls.

It is a race to the surprise finish to discover where the winner is going to exit from this mighty three-foot skyway. Will it come out of the side exits or jump off a ramp. It is different every time. Besides, kids can flip the switches and to change the cars path. No batteries are needed to make the two little vehicles zip and zoom down the ramps. The set up also includes a working crane, gas pump, traffic signals, parking meter, and a gate that opens and closes. All great ingredients for early dramatic play. This is a really big piece of plastic that will be a wow-eee gift for toddlers who love playing the same game again and again. It may be a stretch for small toddlers to reach the top, but most twos will enjoy taking charge of the action. It is definitely big enough for two kids to enjoy together...think twins. Unlike similar looking roadways for toddlers, you can turn off the sounds and still play with this. Marked 18 months to 5 years. We think twos and threes are the right age for this.

Yo, Ho! Ho! Get ready mates! Cleverly designed for versatility, this premade felt crown with a Velcro closing to adjust head sizes, comes with an assortment of stick-on badges that can be added to the frame of the crown. Done in black, red, teal, gold and white, this is a fun accessory for a pirate birthday or other special occasions. Great for games of pretend. The company makes several other crowns including a less gender specific birthday crown for boys and girls and a wonderful ballet crown for dramatic play.

Scaled for an older toddler and small preschooler, this colorful doll pram is perfect for pushing dolls, teddy bears about for dramatic play. It is not weighted, so it is meant for two's who are steady on their feet. It is not a walker for toddlers who are still holding on for security. Pricey, but one of those lovely toys that can be used and passed along to younger sibs or cousins. Bright pink with polka-dots, this is a pretty gender specific toy.

Brees Absent as Saints Return to Work
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Saints are done with their first day of voluntary workouts and there was no sign of quarterback Drew Brees. Brees was in New York on Monday to join players' union officials at NFL offices to discuss the team's bounty program. It's not clear when Brees might join Saints teammates for workouts. He's seeking a long-term contract extension.

This project is discontinued.

It pains me greatly to make this post. Please be patient as this is a very difficult post for me.
7 years ago, back in December 2005, I spent a week evaluating games and engines to find something suitable for a small fan project, a gundam RTS. At the time, fan projects often would die before getting to even a playable state. I felt that by making a truly complete fan project would make Bandai see that Americans do love gundam. I wanted to make moving, fighting fan art, something only a modder of my experience could do. So I started out, I made Gundam Annihilation for TA then came the spring engine, a chance to make a truly free Gundam game!
So I have worked and worked and worked for 6+ years. As I worked I noticed a change in the world. I am just moving with those changes.
I'll take the game system I have worked on and do some independent IP project. With my own designs and characters. I will do this because it is my nature to make things. I have not decided on a name for said project just that I know it is an inevitability that I will do something. I am not going into details here as I have no decided what I will do.
I thank all of you for your support.
hey if you need help I can help, only problem is i know next to nothing about coding and stuff...but i mean if there is anything i could do just teach me im a pretty decent learner :D
The best you can do it is play. Honestly, that is all I ask of you guys, play gundam. Although that is a little hard because the latest engine build breaks the game(something I have been working on fixing, no worries)!
kk btw im watching the new gundam AGE and im getting the urge to play gundam no pressure just know we are waiting patiantly but meh im playing supcom 1 and 2 hmmmmmm oh well good luck man!
man supcom, that's rough I feel for you.
Sorry about the delay, really I am, if you want to help you can play the prelease and leave some feedback
and wait how is supcom FA rough >.> it's pretty epic but i like gundam D: anyway props for such fast replys!!!
no idea whats going on but i can't go there "banned for ban dodge" no idea what that means or what i did wrong but what ever im asking what happend and what i did through email. meh i think it might have been when i was messing with my ip trying to figure some port forwording crap
you don't need to be registered to read the thread.
can u add some beam saber melee?
It requires me adding animations to ALL the units and then add a system for blocking. It wouldn't just be melee attacks, I have to add a new combat system for it. It would be the subject of months of work. It isn't something I have forgotten. The thing I am waiting on is that I am working out a more general animation code and then I am going to add in melee combat system for blocking, strikes etc.
Can't you be more simple for BeamSaber units? A fast, heavy hitting melee unit with a good amount of health? Yes animations would still take a bit, but you could use the hover flight of the DOM and a swing tophalf animation?
Smoth Quick Q whens the new release schedluled because spring broke mulitplayer gundam again
Right now I am more concerned with work priorities.
I am not sure what to do about the current engine situation. I may have to do a really crappy gelgoog marine place holder model and rush out 1.28 just to deal with the engine issue. I am not thrilled about it but we will see, for right now, work is my higher priority.
Xpearse: I moved the question to the forum. I suspect it will need lengthy discussion with pictures etc. In the future please post requests like this on the forum. This discussion area is not good for it as we can only post text and it is really hard to have long conversations on this site.
can someone help me out? I really really want to play this awesome looking game, but each time it loads up and gets to "Finalizing..." it stops responding and freezes up... Help please!!!
EDIT: I looked around and found the fix to this is to set the program's compatibility to Vista (SP2). Working fine now it seems!
WOW? Really? that is interesting. What OS are you running?

Does anyone else feel like they are constantly thinking of how they can try to improve their family's lives? In what ways do you try to do this? For me, it can be buying things to make the home look better or decorating it, buying clothes for us all so we look nice, thinking of ways to make more time where we can be together as a family, thinking of nice ways to spend that time together which might be playing a board game, video games together, watching a movie, having more time for talking or reading etc. And another thing is trying to figure out ways of having more money to spend on doing things we enjoy together, like going out for dinner or to the cinema maybe. Also trying to fit in more time with extended family that we are close to. That's all I can think of right now, but I would love to hear other's ideas on this. Our life is good right now but I always feel an urge to improve it if I can, I guess that's a normal parenting thing to strive for better for your family....what do you think?
I think it's common to strive for the best for your family! It looks like your post might have been missed, so I wanted to bump it up for attention. Anyone have thoughts to share?

A Green Boost for Detroit: Conservation Leadership Corps Provides Jobs to 110 Detroit Students
DETROIT, July 30 /PRNewswire/ — The city of Detroit is getting a much-needed "green" boost this summer, as more than 100 Detroit public high school students are participating in the Conservation Leadership Corps (CLC), a summer jobs program promoting environmental stewardship and skills development. Created and sponsored by Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE: JCI), the Student Conservation Association (SCA) and The Greening of Detroit, the program has returned to Detroit following the success of its launch last year.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081030/AQTH055ALOGO)
The program in Detroit is providing 110 local students, a 20 percent increase over last year, the opportunity to earn and learn as they participate in purposeful summer employment in environmental conservation, while also receiving job readiness training.
"The Conservation Leadership Corps is a great example of a public-private partnership that is creating jobs and helping young people develop skills and experience they will need to be part of Michigan's economic transformation," said Lt. Gov. John Cherry. "We are pleased that federal Recovery Act investments have allowed this program to expand and have an even greater positive impact on the City of Detroit and its citizens."
Detroit is the third city in which Johnson Controls has launched the summer green jobs program. The company has a strong presence in the metro Detroit area, with the global headquarters of its Automotive Experience business and area offices for its Building Efficiency business.
"We are delighted to not only bring this innovative program back to Detroit, a city so affected by the current economic crisis, but to be able to increase the number of student participants, thanks to federal stimulus funds," said Charles A. Harvey, vice president of diversity and public affairs for Johnson Controls. "We are pleased to be partnering once again with the SCA and local Detroit organizations to provide this unique initiative for city teens."
"Our organization has a long history of conservation efforts in Detroit," said Rebecca Salminen Witt, president of The Greening of Detroit. "We feel it is especially important to get the city's youth involved and provide them with an opportunity to give back to the community. Through our continued partnership with the SCA, and the generous support of Johnson Controls and our other funding partners, we have been able to help create a strong and exciting program that focuses on environmental stewardship as well as job skills development."
The Conservation Leadership Corps program was launched in 2006 in Milwaukee, where Johnson Controls is headquartered, and was expanded to Baltimore in 2007. These programs continue, and this year the program has been launched in China, the United Kingdom, Germany and Mexico.
The Detroit CLC program kicked off on July 6 with the students gaining hands-on experience in environmental conservation. Over the course of the program the students will participate in a variety of projects, including landscaping, native planting, new trail development and maintenance, native timber bench construction, removing invasive species, repairing drainage and erosion issues, and constructing a greenhouse for an elementary school outdoor classroom. These, along with additional environmental and conservation efforts, are being conducted at Rouge Park, Belle Isle, the Dequindre Cut Greenway, Burton Elementary School, Meyer's Tree Nursery and Detroit's Hope District, among other locations throughout the city. The students also receive job readiness skills building where they receive help with resume writing, interview skills and personal finance management.
Corps members were selected from hundreds of candidates based on their application and ability to successfully complete a three-step, month-long tryout process. Student candidates were evaluated based on work ethic, leadership ability, civic engagement and commitment to the environment.
"SCA is about empowering young people, connecting them to nature and practicing lifelong stewardship," says SCA President Dale Penny. "As the program enters its second year, we are proud to work with Johnson Controls, The Greening of Detroit and all of our local partners to provide environmental education and career development, and to collaborate on improving Detroit's green spaces."
Additional support for the program is being provided by: Chase; the City of Detroit Community Development Block Grant and Neighborhood Opportunity Fund programs; the City of Detroit Workforce Development Department; City Connect Detroit; the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth; Michigan Works! Association; Masco Corporation Foundation; SAP Americas; and the Walmart Foundation.

A wild signature Les Paul with advanced electonics and an outrageous look!
The Epiphone Twisted Sister Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar delivers all the signature sound of a Gibson Les Paul and then some, with a signature look that is outrageously unmistakable. The guitar's mahogany body provides superb resonance while the set mahogany neck with a slim taper profile, and rosewood fretboard give you the familiar feel and fast action that Les Paul players love so dearly. The Twisted Sister Les Paul is loaded with an Alnico Classic Plus humbucker in the bridge position pickup for added punch to your solos and the Alnico Classic humbucker in the neck has a coil-splitting push/pull tone control for a wider range of single-coil rhythm tones. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge/stopbar tailpiece combo adds stability and sustain, and makes string changing a breeze.
With a style all it's own, this Les Paul guitar is all about the attitude!

Comments about Epiphone Twisted Sister Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar:
I mainly buy guitars for collecting as a hobby and usually end up selling them down the line. I only buy guitars that I feel are good investments (limited editions, rare, etc) and this one is pretty unique. I feel that once they sell out the value will go up...many people will shy away because the guitar is pink, but I feel that down the road that will make it more valuable...because less people would have purchased it...and personally I think it looks awesome..everyone had a black or white guitar..why not mix it up a bit.
Its a Les Paul....you are basically getting a Gibson product here folks. The craftsmanship is amazing, you actually get a neck through guitar and at this price point that is virtually unheard of.
Again, overall quality is Gibson standards with Epiphone, just made in Korea and different woods. Plays awesome, perfect neck and frets, nice warm clean tone, what you would expect out of a les Paul.
With the risk of repeating myself a neck through guitar at less than $500 is unheard of....check around and do your homework.
Comments about Epiphone Twisted Sister Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar:
I like the push tone feature best, its great for doing different rythmes. the strings are really easy to change with the drop off bridge. I defintely recommend this guitar. the only down fall is it's only available in standard form. I tried ordering a left handed version so i can play it with out altering it. but Epiphone wont honor special orders like that. other then that it is a great guitar. my friend owns one and i've played it more then once. And hopefully in the futrue if there's a high enough demand, they'll be available in left handed as well.
This guitar is great sounding with the right amp. My friend use's a marshall MA412 full stack amp, with a marshall JDM50 head. and a Boss SL-20 Slicer effects pedal. you can sound just like Jay Jay french (Twisted Sister Guitarist) Really playable, looks great also with Jay Jay French's signature Pink Burst coloring.
This guitar has great responce, easy to do hammer on's and pull off's with. the belly cut is a really good feature to have, real comfortable. built really solid too. Sound is awesome. This guitar is really playable, Im left handed and though the twisted sister les paul I used was "backwards" to me I was still able to jam with ease.
This guitar is worth every dollar its priced at and more. I am actually really surprized it being so cheap in price. There are no others like it, or after it in my opionion. It is as good, or better then the Gibson Les Paul.
Comments about Epiphone Twisted Sister Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar:
It has all of the features you would want from a les paul plus a waist taper, coil tap front pickup, plus a very nice pinkburst.
If you were worried about the quality of the korean made les paul, don't I've been playing for over fourty years, I've played and owned prs's customs fender's and custom gibson's. I've only had this guitar a while but it is truely a solid workman's guitar
Of all the many (over 150) guitars I've owned this guitar sofar is the greatest value I've owned. I can't speak about other epi's, but this jay jay french model is really a stand out. well worth your time and effort to track one down and give it a good play. I't all here and more I
'can't recommend this guitar enough.

New ND lawmaker 1 of many drafting drone measures
FARGO, N.D. A freshman lawmaker from North Dakota is one of numerous state legislators around the country suggesting regulations to limit the use of unmanned planes for law enforcement, an effort that's gaining bipartisan support and fostering unlikely political alignments.
The bill proposed by Republican State Rep. Rick Becker, of Bismarck, stems from the 2011 arrest of a Lakota farmer during a 16-hour standoff, an event that sparked national debate. State courts held up law enforcement's use of a drone to help a SWAT team apprehend Rodney Brossart, but Becker says there should be safeguards in place to make sure the practice isn't abused.
Lawmakers plan to introduce similar bills in several states, and although Republicans are mostly leading the charge, the issue crosses party lines in Florida and brought together a tea party member from Virginia's General Assembly and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Becker insists he's not out to hinder police; he says it's a matter of privacy.
"It's a new technology that has really amazing capabilities and can be used in excellent ways for our communities. I don't want to say that drones can't be used," Becker said. "But with the new technology there are also issues, primarily privacy issues, which can come into play."
The sheriff in Cass County, the state's most populous county, says Becker's proposal could set a troublesome precedent.
"Some people have this idea that these drones are some sneak and peek into their private lives," said Sheriff Paul Laney, a former Red River Valley SWAT team commander and a member of a national board for crisis management on issues similar to the Brossart case. "It's no different than a routine patrol when we drive by in a squad car on the road and look down the driveway. We are just doing it from a higher level."
One part of Becker's proposal would require a warrant when drones are used as a part of a criminal investigation. Brossart's lawyer, Bruce Quick of Fargo, said a warrant was not obtained for drone use.
State Rep. Al Carlson, the Republican House majority leader from Fargo, said Becker's proposal warrants serious discussion.
"Obviously, invasion of privacy is always important to North Dakotans," Carlson said. "I think it's a good debate to have and I look forward to hearing it."
Similar legislation will be proposed in many states this legislative session, including California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon, Missouri, Michigan and Indiana. In Virginia, the ACLU/tea party-backed measure is expected to be unveiled this session.
In addition, a U.S. House of Representatives bill that targets drone privacy was introduced last month by Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey. He plans this session to re-introduce the proposal that would require law enforcement to obtain a warrant to use a drone except in situations such as imminent danger of death or a terrorist attack.
The Brossart arrest was the first drone surveillance case involving a private citizen to receive attention from national media outlets. The standoff began in June 2011, when Nelson County Sheriff Kelly Janke went onto Brossart's land with a search warrant to look for six missing cows. Janke said he left after he was confronted by three men brandishing rifles.

Aug 2, 2011While Xbox 360 veterans may find this to be a very similar experience in a different skin, PS3 owners will be very receptive to this game, especially since they've already been the recipients of some experimental titles. It's an experience worth playing, but we hope that the next iteration will include some form of multiplayer.
Jun 20, 2011Akimi Village is truly a fantastic little game and it's still digital crack in its purest form.
Aug 2, 2011Looking beyond the kid-friendly presentation, we found a goldmine of fun in this staggeringly deep yet lighthearted civ-management adventure. [Sept 2011, p.87]
Jun 24, 2011For your money, there's plenty of gentle strategy on offer, and a lovely way to pass the time for those of us whose brains come alive to the unfolding of tech trees.
Jul 25, 2011Those niggles aside, I do want to praise Akimi Village and NinjaBee for again delivering a game without any negative dynamics to contend with: no enemies to defend against, no hurricanes or earthquakes to ruin urban development, and no penalties of any sort.
Jul 13, 2011Alternately tranquil and tedious, Akimi Village is as simple as city builders get.
Aug 14, 2011Like olden days Command & Conquer. Only minus the combat, the war, and the fun. [Sept 2011, p.116]

Here kitty kitty!
I bought this sleeping bag a few years ago. I've put it through hell. After numerous camping trips in all four seasons and a few dozen trips across the country this bag has yet to fail me. It packs down reasonably small, it's light enough, and warm too. I love Polarguard Delta now, it's given me many warm nights while my buddies freeze their butts off. Ha Ha! It's not made of cats, but you'd think it was by how warm and snuggly the Cat's Meow is.
