Hip-hop mogul Damon Dash knows how to throw one hell of a party.
Tuesday night, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder (pictured above) opened the doors to Under 100, the basement venue underneath his New York City art gallery and recording studio, DD172. On this night, rappers the Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, Nicole Ray, and Curren$y, and up-and-coming band the London Souls rock out!
The party -- falsely rumored to include a set by BlakRoc, a new project managed by Dash, featuring the Black Keys with guest emcees like Mos Def (though all were in the house) -- also served as a music video shoot for the London Souls, who pumped the packed venue's sweaty and booze-swilling crowd with funky and brash punk jams.
Next, it was a battle of the rhymes, with Factz, Ray, Curren$y, Jay Electronica, and more trading raps on the mic -- and taking turns behind the drum kit!

Fit Feet Program
Fit Feet is a walking program designed to encourage all Okaloosa County School District employees to be physically active. Employees wishing to participate will record the number of steps walked each day using the walking log (use a smart phone/pedometer or convert distance walked using 2,000 steps/mile). The Fit Feet Equivalents document can be used to convert other activities (e.g. biking, swimming or yoga – but NOT office work) into their step equivalent.
The Fit Feet program begins on September 1, 2014, and ends on May 17, 2014.
At the end of the month, turn in walking logs to the Fit Feet/Wellness contact person at employee's school or worksite. Be sure to turn it in by the 5th of each month. Updates will be sent out on a monthly basis so that school and individual comparisons can be made. Nothing motivates like a little friendly competition…except maybe money.
Speaking of money…cash prizes will be awarded to the top three finishing schools/worksites and individuals. The $300 prize for the team with the highest average mileage per employee will give smaller schools a shot at some prize money.
Last year's big winners were:
- 1st Place Southside Center
- 2nd Place Kenwood ES
- 3rd Place Lewis School
- Per Capita Northwood SNA
- 1st Place Sarah Baltimore
- 2nd Place Kelley Jagielski
- 3rd Place Michelle Bridwell

I have been working at FTI Consulting
interesting work, varied and opportunity to travel; smart people to learn from, decent compensation for senior staff to young managers.
Poor training for fresh out of school new hires, difficult path to senior managing director, upper level compensation (below sr managing director) is sub-par especially for a public company
Advice to Management
Need better direction from senior management, compensation package for the higher level below senior managing director is poor, need better training and assistance for new hires & managing directors (assistance to ascend to senior managing director).

I worked at FTI ConsultingDoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEODoesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO
You will receive your paycheck on time. There are always plenty of tasks to be completed for this company. You can learn some things with FTI.
Career advancement within the company is extremely difficult to impossible, as current staff does not advance from existing positions.
Employees are not given competitive compensation, nor are they compensated appropriately for going above and beyond, but expect to do so on a regular basis.
Technology Management will regularly demand you work during vacation time (PTO).
60 to 90 hour work weeks are expected and without compensation.
Inter-team communication is poor to nonexistent, and employee - management communication is very nearly zero as well. If you have a family, be prepared to not see them for a large portion of your time. FTI Demands a certain high level of commitment from employees that is unreasonable and if an employee is unable to keep that commitment, will reflect very poorly for you in employment reviews.
Technology has a difficult time retaining employees as there is a lack of respect for most employees by management. Do not expect to work within your job description, this company uses "Other Duties as Assigned" for a large portion of your actual work day. The best way to advance your career is to stay away from this company. It is a chop shop running through a nightmare with seemingly no end in sight. Employees are expected to perform personal reporting on the job that is easily seen as taking care of managements work for them.
Advice to Management
When management asks questions of its employees, it is recommended that you listen to what your people are telling you. Build relationships with your employees instead of treating them as less than human. Put a stop to mistreatment.
I have been working at FTI ConsultingNo opinion of CEONo opinion of CEO
FTI has great benefits and the people completely make the company. The management is very understanding of the work/life balance as well.
Not nearly compensated enough compared to similar fields of work. There is a very strict advancement structure that generally is not broken.
Advice to Management
I would find a way to be more transparent with the lower level employees. In addition, find a way to communicate happenings in other offices so that everyone knows what is going on with FTI as a whole.

One of the more amusing things about being a journalist are those moments when do you do a report or a post about something that is common sense, but you have to report it anyway. In our common sense post of the day, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan took time out from the league meetings going on to address his franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III. Shanahan while speaking about his quarterback told the Washington Posts Mark Maske that his quarterback indeed "needs to learn to slide or throw the ball away to protect himself." "Griffin will have to learn to slide, throw the ball away, protect himself, you can't take shots consistently," Shanahan said, via Mark Maske of theWashington Post. Shanahan after saying all that, made it known that he won't be eliminating the read option from his offense. "The option will help a quarterback stay healthy," Shanahan said. We will see how long Griffin III and that read option last.

Paris, 4 November 2013 – A new report from the World Bank and the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI) demonstrates clearly the harmful effects that short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) are having on the cryosphere, or snow- and ice-covered regions of the world.
Addressing short-lived climate pollutants, especially black carbon and methane, can help slow the melting occurring in the Arctic, Antarctica, Himalayas, Andes and East Africa as a result of climate change. Reducing SLCP emissions can also benefit the health and development of people in thousands of communities.
The report, called "On Thin Ice: How Cutting Pollution Can Slow Warming and Save Lives," builds on studies from UNEP and others from as far back as 2009 that have shown the link between climate change and cryosphere melting. This report makes the connection with SLCPs explicit and asks directly, What are the climate benefits to cutting these pollutants? The World Bank and the ICCI are partners in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition.
"Reports like this are extremely helpful in raising awareness of the need for reducing short-lived climate pollutants," said Helena Molin Valdes, Head of the CCAC Secretariat. "But perhaps even more important are the concrete solutions the report proposes. There are many things that can be done now, in addition to making cuts in carbon dioxide emissions. It is clear humanity can meet this challenge if we take action."
The CCAC is working to create political momentum around the reduction of SLCPs worldwide. Through its on-the-ground initiatives in several sectors, the Coalition is also addressing specific causes of the warming problems discussed in the report.
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short Lived Climate Pollutants is a partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, the private sector, the environmental community, and other members of civil society. The Coalition is government-led but is highly cooperative and voluntary. Short-lived climate pollutants are agents that have a relatively short lifetime in the atmosphere—a few days to a few decades—but also a warming influence on climate as well as, in many cases, detrimental impacts on human health, agriculture and ecosystems.

Juvenile Justice News
Noteworthy Articles and Publications:
o Each year in the United States, thousands of children are placed into youth correctional facilities and various other forms of congregate, out-of-home residential placements following a court disposition or sentence. As documented in great detail inNo Place for Kids: The Case for Reducing Juvenile Incarceration, in the aggregate these out-of-home placements have a deeply troubling track record: high rates of recidivism; exorbitant costs; frequent harm to the health and safety of youth (and staff) who are confined in them; and poor outcomes in terms of youth development. Adding insult to injury, local, state and national data suggest that, far too often, out-of-home placements of young people are minimally related to the severity of their offenses or the risk they pose to public safety.
- In Their Own Words: Young People's Experiences in the Criminal Justice System and Their Perceptions of Its Legitimacy
o While there is a growing consensus that the country needs to re-examine the criminal justice system's prosecution of serious young offenders, there is little documentation of how this population experiences and perceives the laws, policies, and practices that are intended to hold them accountable.
o This brief from the National Conference of State Legislatures explores recent legislative reforms within the juvenile justice system. The primary purposes of secure detention are to ensure that a young person appears in court and to minimize the risk of re-arrest while current charges are pending. A rise in serious juvenile crime in the late 1980s and early 1990s led to state laws and policies that moved away from the traditional emphasis on rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system and increased the number of youth held in detention dramatically. During the past decade, juvenile crime rates have declined and policymakers are rethinking juvenile justice policy, including alternatives to secure detention.
o Advancing race equity and inclusion can sometimes seem daunting and often leaves many wondering how and where to start. One way to achieve social change in an organization is to incorporate race equity and inclusion at every stage of work. The seven steps in this guide provide a clear framework for undertaking this important work.
o This brief from the International Association of Chiefs of Police is designed to help law enforcement officials who interact with youth better understand normal adolescent development and behavior. The brief provides an overview of adolescent behavioral development, recommendations for developmentally appropriate responses, strategies to improve interactions with youth, and examples of programs that foster positive youth development.
o The child welfare system was created to care for abused and neglected children. But too often, teenagers are landing in the system because they simply aren't getting along with their parents. This paper traces Casey's efforts to learn from communities that are preventing teens from landing in the system by helping families while the teen remains at home.
- Video
o The Collaborative for Change's "In Their Own Words" video features Dr. Julian Ford, Director of the Center for Trauma Recovery and Juvenile Justice at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, discussing how to identify youth who have been exposed to traumatic experiences and what interventions are most appropriate for working with these youth.
- A Practical Approach to Evidence-Based Juvenile Justice Systems
o This article presents a practical approach that JJ systems can take in achieving evidence-based programming that reduces recidivism. Most JJ system programs produce relatively small reductions in recidivism, on average, thus there is much room for improvement. A research based approach to making program improvements system-wide – and with that, increase the cost effectiveness of the system itself – is presented in this article. The success of this effort, however, depends on delivery of the right service to the right youth at the right time.
o Article attached.
Juvenile Justice Headlines:
o WAYNESBURG, Pa. – The boy loved to walk in the woods. He savored the gurgle of the creek as the water tumbled over the rocks, the sweet melody of birdsong, the wind rustling the leaves in the trees that soared high overhead.
o Juvenile justice advocates hailed Friday four key Florida Supreme Court decisions on life without parole and other extremely long sentences imposed on children.
o Louie Chagolla was in and out of trouble with the law for most of his teenage years. He was in lockup twice and, when not in lockup, he was on probation. Possession of a deadly weapon made the scared but tough-acting kid feel secure on the streets of Los Angeles. And, it solidified his sense of belonging to his surrogate family, his gang.
o The House agreed to Senate Amendments Tuesday on legislation implementing a standard placement assessment for juvenile offenders and authorizing incarceration in a Kansas facility of teens convicted as adults.
o Police officers in Meridian, Mississippi, were spending so much time hauling handcuffed students from school to the local juvenile jail that they began describing themselves as "just a taxi service". It wasn't because schools in this east Mississippi town were overrun by budding criminals or juvenile superpredators – not by a longshot. Most of the children were arrested and jailed simply for violating school rules, often for trivial offenses.
o The Justice Department for the first time is weighing in on a state court case on whether some courts are depriving juveniles of their rights to a lawyer. The department filed astatement of interest in a Georgia case that alleges that public defense in four southern counties is so underfunded that low-income juveniles are routinely denied the right to legal representation.
o Adolfo Davis admits he was a swaggering thug by the age of 14 s he roamed and dealt drugs with a South Side gang. He also describes a childhood of emotional and physical deprivation: a mother fixated on crack, an absent father, a grandmother's overflowing and chaotic apartment.
o Danielle Hicks-Best's shocking story, "An 11-Year-Old Reported Being Raped Twice, Wound Up With a Conviction" reported in the Washington Post on March 13, puts a compelling face to our mistrust and misunderstanding of girls and our harmful over use of the juvenile justice system.
o Less than ten percent of doctors recognize trafficking victims, and less than 3 percent of ER doctors have received training in recognition and action. Here's what we can do about it.
o More than half of U.S. states allow children to be detained for repeated nonviolent "status offenses" such as skipping school, running away from home or possession of alcohol, a new report says.
o For years, many juvenile offenders in New York City had been exiled to upstate facilities – hundreds of miles from families, schools and communities. This continued despite mounting evidence that keeping such youth closer to home improves the odds of reducing recidivism, continuing their progress in school through their local school systems and helping them successfully re-enter the community.
o The United Nations top investigator on torture has delivered a scathing criticism of juvenile justice practices common in the United States, including routine detention of youths, solitary confinement and sentences of life without parole for children.
o What do you think should happen when a kid is incarcerated? If you're like most Americans, you think rehabilitation should be a top priority for youth correctional facilities, according to a recent poll conducted by the Pew Charitable Trusts.
Educational Opportunities:
o While relationships between case managers and offenders are important, it is not the only thing that impacts recidivism. A cognitive element has to be present. Relationships along with core correctional practices have the greatest impact on recidivism. EPICS-II skills enhance the work case managers are doing by introducing them to core correctional practices – appropriate use of authority, modeling and reinforcement, skill building, problem solving, and relationship factors. Additionally, case managers will learn new skills and work with new tools which will make their work with the offenders more productive and efficient while working on risk reduction activities.

OFA PeerTA Spotlight: Summer Youth Employment
The Federal Government continues its commitment to promoting summer youth employment opportunities for at-risk youth. In 2015, the Administration for Children and Families' Office of Family Assistance issued a "Dear Colleague" letter to their TANF program stakeholders. The letter highlights a Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) issued on March 26, 2015 by the Employment and Training Administration at the Department of Labor (DOL). The TEGL explains the broad vision for the youth services included in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Additionally, it references another letter jointly issued by DOL, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in April 2014 that encouraged youth providers and Public Housing Agencies to develop summer programs for at-risk and low-income youth.
In 2014, the Departments of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Labor (DOL), and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a letter encouraging partnerships among the network of state and local youth service and workforce development providers, human service agencies, and public housing agencies to develop summer jobs programs for needy and at-risk youth that provide employment, educational experiences, and essential skills such as financial literacy and time management. Summer employment provides teens and young adults with critical skills and experience that lay the foundation for their future employment. As agencies contemplate operating a summer youth employment program for 2015, the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) PeerTA Network has compiled the following resources from OFA webinars and products to assist in our users' preparation.
|Webinar: Investing in Youth and the Community: Summer Youth Employment Programs, May 2014
On Wednesday, May 7, 2014, the OFA PeerTA Network, along with partners from the U.S. Departments of Labor and Housing and Urban Development, hosted the "Investing in Youth and the Community: Summer Youth Employment Programs" webinar. This webinar explored emerging initiatives, partnerships, and strategies for implementing summer youth employment programs. The webinar highlighted federal, state, private, and public services available to engage youth in summer employment, while also providing Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)-serving organizations and other stakeholders with the opportunity to learn how to engage various partners in supporting summer youth employment activities. Presenters included representatives from Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, Brandeis University's Center for Youth and Communities, and the Denver Public Housing Authority's Youth Employment Academy.
In follow-up to this presentation, OFA created a series of Summer Youth Employment Program Profiles – providing more in-depth information on the background, program model, lessons learned, outcomes, and successes for a number of programs engaging youth in summer employment. These profiles highlight the activities of the City of Richmond, Department of Employment and Training's YouthWORKS Division; the City of Buffalo, Buffalo Employment and Training Center; and the Denver Housing Authority's Youth Employment Academy.
|Webinar: Leveraging Private/Public Partnerships and Funding to Improve Summer Youth Employment Opportunities, December 2012
The Office of Family Assistance hosted the "Leveraging Private/Public Partnerships and Funding to Improve Summer Youth Employment Opportunities" webinar on Tuesday, December 11, 2012. This webinar provided background information on funding strategies for summer youth employment activities and discussed methods for leveraging both public and private funding streams. The webinar featured presenters from the LA Conservation Corps, the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development, ABCD Inc., and the Philadelphia Youth Network. The presenters encouraged those implementing summer youth employment programs to collaborate with TANF agencies, the business community, community action agencies and other Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)-funded programs, workforce investment programs, and private foundations, in an effort to better serve youth, reach TANF participants, and engage key stakeholders.
The Office of Family Assistance hosted a webinar entitled "The ABC's of Creating Summer Youth Programs and Partnerships" on October 17, 2012. The webinar featured presenters from Mathematica Policy Research, the Southeast Tennessee Development District-Local Workforce Investment Area Five, the District of Columbia Department of Employment Services, and Corporate Voices for Working Families. The presenters provided an overview of strategies for developing summer youth employment programs that can work in various contexts with different types of employers. Also discussed were the strategic partnerships, funding streams, and recruitment and placement strategies that can be utilized to increase summer youth employment opportunities.
|ACF/OFA Region IV and DOL-ETA Region III TANF and WIA: Strengthening Pathways to Employment Meeting, July 2012
In response to the technical assistance and program needs of states throughout the southeast, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Family Assistance, Region IV, and the United States Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Region IIII, hosted a technical assistance meeting from July 24 – 26, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia. This meeting allowed member states to work alongside their peers to outline specific challenges faced by TANF and Workforce Investment Act (WIA) agencies and the families they serve and posit plausible peer-based solutions for moving low-income and working families toward economic self-sufficiency. State TANF and WIA directors and program staff also discussed ways to promote interagency collaboration. Topics included: engaging veterans and military families in the TANF and WIA systems; leveraging partnerships to strengthen subsidized employment and transitional job initiatives; developing demand-driven career pathways for low-income individuals and TANF participants; maximizing WIA youth and TANF funds to support summer youth employment initiatives; and improving skill-building for low-income individuals and TANF participants with barriers to employment.
|Webinar: Region X Tribal TANF – Summer Youth Employment, May 2012
On May 16, 2012, the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Family Assistance, Region X hosted a webinar on how Tribal TANF programs can use Federal TANF and State maintenance-of-effort (MOE) funds for the creation and expansion of subsidized summer youth employment programs. The webinar provided information on how Tribes have operated summer youth employment programs within a Tribal TANF System, strategies for leveraging funds for subsidized youth employment programs through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), and presented promising practices of Tribal TANF agencies that currently operate summer youth employment programs. The webinar was facilitated by Judy Ogliore and Karen "Jack" Granberg from Region X and included presentations from Tammy Kieffer, the 477 Youth Employment Coordinator for the Spokane Tribe in Washington State; Lu Ann Warrington, the Assistance Director of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin; and Arlene Templer, the Director of the Department of Human Resource Development for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana.
|The Summer Employment Experiences and the Personal/Social Behaviors of Youth Violence Prevention Employment Program Participants and Those of a Comparison Group, 2013
This report from the Center for Labor Market Studies highlights the efforts of the Youth Violence Prevention Funder Learning Collaborative, which funded youth employment opportunities in low-income neighborhoods in Boston from 2010 – 2012. The report evaluates the employment program's impacts and effects on employment experiences, personal and social behaviors, and exposure to violence. The program was shown to have positive impacts on program participants.
|Employment and Unemployment Among Youth in the Summer of 2014, August 2014
The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics released an economic news release on the summer youth labor force for the summer of 2014. From April to July 2014, the number of employed youth 16 to 24 years old increased by 2.1 million to 20.1 million. The share of young people employed in July was 51.9 percent. Unemployment among youth rose by 913,000 from April to July 2014, compared with an increase of 692,000 during the same months in 2013.

There is a serious disconnect between the foreground girl/monster/skulls and the backbround rocks. The former are smoothly digitally painted, while the latter appear to be photoshopped in and have way too much texture. Remember that textural details should decrease with distance into the picture, not increase.

Even though Obama views the Assad regime as illegitimate, even though [White House advisor] Ben Rhodes has said that "the enemy of the enemy is not our friend," they are anxious to avoid being put in a position in which there is even a [remote] possibility they would encounter the regime's air force. One of the many nightmare scenarios out of all of this for the administration would be the downing of a U.S. [fighter] jet and the capture of a U.S. pilot.
So I think they have a very delicate balancing act to navigate, and ironically the only way they can walk through the political minefield is by acting in ways that are guaranteed to be ineffective.
American Terror Pipeline: Nearly a Dozen From Twin Cities Gone to Fight in Syria
President Obama Says 'We Don't Have a Strategy Yet' to Bomb ISIS in Syria
Syria Deeply: Do you see any possible scenario unfolding where they do work with Assad?
Heydemann: Not now. I do think it is highly unlikely that either the U.S. or key Western governments would move in that direction now. We have to recognize what it would mean in terms of relationships with Gulf allies and Turkey. And what it means in terms of the possibility of any engagement with the moderate opposition.
One of the big political challenges for the administration is how to act in ways that cannot be portrayed as acting with the Syrian regime. Because if we take Obama seriously when he says: "Syrians should not be forced into a choice between dictatorship and terrorism," that means that we continue to view it as important to keep an alternative open. And if the U.S. were to be seen as working with the regime, that would be impossible.

Graner Fire Fund
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
My friend and colleague, Amber Graner, lost her home to a fire this week. Luckily, the family wasn't in the house at the time and no one was injured. Pete and Amber were at UDS, the kids were with relatives, and the dog was rescued from the fire.
Even if you have home-owner's insurance, the immediate expenses add up as you scramble to get some necessities, including clothing, toiletries, food, and new housing. The Graner family is well-known in the open source community, and many of their colleagues and friends have expressed a desire to help them get back on their feet. I created a page for anyone who would like to chip in to help the Graner Family get some clothes and other necessities: http://granerfamily.chipin.com/the-graner-family

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel La Rosa de America Alajuela
Wonderful out of the way accommodations! It's in La Garita, a suburb of Alejuela.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We're a family of four starting a 9 month trip to Latin America. La Rosa was our starting point and have been great. They organised a pick-up which went very smoothly and we had a relaxing day by the pool to recover from our travels. The pool is lovely, the staff helpful and relaxed, and we were able to walk to a local cafe for lunch. We ate at the hotel - first guests at their restaurant for the season.

Jun 2015 - $60.00
A bit pricey, but worth the money. This is a Yogi Bear park and let me tell you, this is kids heaven. This crew sure devoted their days to the kids. Every area/building is spotless and very up to date. The staff are beyond helpful and accommodating. I haven't used the Wi-Fi, the cable isn't the greatest but with all of these activities, who needs TV? If you don't have children, that's OK, there's a pool for just the adults. The only thing they could/should do better at is keeping the spots mowed. The sites are nice and roomy with plenty of parking space. The electric and cable pedestals have nice night lights on the tops. Roads are plenty wide enough for maneuvering. 2 laundry and shower houses that are spotless. This place has so much that you just have to see it for yourself. Shopping and restaurants are close by. Bring the family and have a good time. You won't be sorry! - Travlin-on
May 2015 - $60.00
This is a really neat park. Lots of stuff for kids to do. Playground, bouncing pillow, mini golf, swimming pools (2). The sites are level concrete. Lots of space between sites. Only problem I have with this park is the price. We had reservations at another park but had to evacuate after one night due to flooding. This was the only other site not in danger of flooding. - ELamb
Oct 2014 - $40.00
I recently declined to stay here due to previous reviews stating the area was overgrown with grass/weeds. Had the opportunity to drive thru this park while going thru Wichita Falls. I have NOT stayed here. The park IS now a Yogi Bear franchise and the entire park is very neat and well-manicured. There is a large structure under construction on the west side. There was an antiques show in progress when I drove thru. Just wanted to pass on that there is not a weed nor an upkeep problem at this campground now. - wingnut60

I agree completely with the previous review. Sites are level and long enough for motorhome and towed. Park is close enough to Wichita Falls, 16 miles, to get several TV stations over the air. Nice covered picnic table. Only demerit was a noisy oil well pump jack close to the site. Not visible or so loud you could hear it inside the coach, but audible if outside. Rate reflects State Parks pass discounts. Would stay again. - starwind
Jul 2013 - $15.00
Rate reflects discount with Texas State Park pass. This is a very nice park, located SE of Wichita Falls. Close enough to get to town but far enough that noise isn't a problem. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The sites are set up in small circles, spaced nicely apart. The pull through sites are very generous, easy for big rigs. The lake was low while we were here so it was quiet, which is fine by us. Lots of birds and there are prairie dog 'towns' all over the park. Level, easy walking. Power was steady, and water pressure was fine. No sewer at site, but dump station provided. Park was clean and although there is no gate, there was not a lot of 'cruising' traffic.

Nice empty and quiet park, loops have about 6 sites and just about everyone here had their own loop. Sites are long, hard packed gravel with trees, covered picnic tables and fire rings. There are all kinds of birds around the site and some prairie dogs near the picnic area around the boat launch. Over the air TV was good, and the data card worked well with antenna and amp. They have trails to walk and deer to see. Rate is for water and electric $20 plus $3 per person entrance fee. We would camp here again. - Grayhound

The rules are overboard. No parking on the concrete, no using our showers, no water hoses, no outside trash cans, you can have 2 vehicles, yet there's only enough room for your RV and truck. You can't use their picnic tables. The control freak in the office is rude and hateful once she gets your money. Do not get so much as a tire on the concrete, she'll kick you out! The mosquitoes are horrible and getting your grass mowed is next to impossible. No water in the pool. The WiFi signal is non existent, cable has a lot of channels which is good because in order to get along with these people, you'll need to stay inside. Save yourself some aggravation and go somewhere else. - Travlin-on

Went up for a funeral, the managers knew it. Only got to stay one night this time. The river was up and we had to evacuate to another rv park. Not the parks fault. They did not charge us for the one night we did stay. Really hoping to get back to it in nicer weather. It's a nice little park. Our site was 24 which was right across their street from the rising river. - ELamb

This is a city park, next to a freeway with no amenities other than water and electricity, and the park. Good electricity and water, but a little hwy noise, well lighted at night. Perfect for an overnight stay. Concrete aprons and quite level. Adequate over the air tv stations. It is very clean. A bargain! - grizd

If your rig is self-contained, this stop is for you. Lucy Park is next door for jogging and biking. River Trail is worth the stop. Highway noise may be an issue for some. No wi-fi and cable...and that's OK. Well lighted at night, but this can be a curse if you like a dark room for sleeping. Stayed here on the way out and on the way back. - waterwalkin
May 2013 - $17.00
Good rate for this overnight park run by the city. Sites are level and easy to hit. Easy on and off of freeway. Only drawbacks for some might be there is no bath or restrooms and you will hear freeway traffic if you don't shut your windows and have the air on. I would use it again anytime when visiting Wichita Falls or on my way through. - tbax46

Jordan McCoy is coming off two of his best games of the season. The senior says the Owls are starting to pul themselves together. (OwlAccess.com file photo)
Despite losing six of their last seven games, FAU coach Mike Jarvis says his Owls are finally playing the way he wants them to and are primed to make a late season run.
Originally published on
Chuck King
In the midst of the Owls' worst funk of the season, Mike Jarvis believes FAU has turned the corner.
The positive vibes actually come from an Owls' loss – a 72-71 shortcoming at South Alabama in which FAU had a chance to win in the final seconds but couldn't convert.
Even though the Owls didn't get the victory, Jarvis thought he saw a different team from the one that had been pounded in three of its previous six games.
"It's more that I just feel that the guys are all together - they are very positive about the team," Jarvis said. "I see Greg Gantt going to back to being Greg Gantt. Jordan McCoy is playing much better. Stefan is improving every game."
Jarvis likes that Gantt has tried to do more than simply score over the past couple outings. He's also seen McCoy put together two strong games on offense, following a 19 point, nine rebound effort against Florida International with an 11-point 12-rebound night against South Alabama.
McCoy attributes that success to more frequent ice baths that are keeping his legs fresher.
"It's the end of the season. I'm a senior. This is the time to take my game to the next level," he said.
Truth be told, that time is running out. The Owls have lost six of seven games heading into Thursday's contest against Western Kentucky. There are only five games left on the regular season schedule.
Despite the lack of games in which to make a turnaround, McCoy shares his coach's optimism.
"We're definitely starting to get things on the right track, and figuring out how we need to play and what we need to do to be successful," said McCoy, who managed only four points but did have eight rebounds in the first meeting of the season against WKU. "Now we just have to get over that hump and get the victory."
The Owls already own one victory over Western Kentucky this season, beating the Hilltoppers 65-62 on January 12.
Jarvis likes to say that no matter the opponent the Owls face in their next game – that game, the next game on their schedule. is always the most important. But even he is willing to admit Thursday's contest takes on extra importance if the Owls want to start a late-season run.
"In the reality it is - but it shouldn't be," Jarvis said.
Western Kentucky (13-12, 7-7 Sun Belt)
at FAU (11-15, 6-9 Sun Belt)
About the Hilltoppers: T.J. Price scored 20 points in WKU's loss to FAU, with George Fant adding 19. Price is 11th in the Sun Belt in scoring, averaging 13.9 per game. ...As a team Western Kentucky shoots 65.6 from the free throw line – better only than Louisiana-Monroe in the Sun Belt. ...The Hilltoppers out-rebound their opponents by an average of 3.4 boards per game, second best in the Sun Belt. ...WKU and FAU are the bottom two teams in the Sun Belt when it comes to assist-to-turnover ratio.
About the Owls: Jackson Trapp is still recovering from an ankle injury. Jarvis does not expect him to play this week but hopes he'll be available next week... Cavon Baker, also out with an ankle injury, is expected to need a longer recovery period. ...Greg Gantt has fallen to eighth in the NCAA in scoring at 21.1 points per game. He led all scorers with 22 points in the first meeting against Western Kentucky. ...Pablo Bertone scored 15 points and grabbed six rebounds in that first meeting. ...Stefan Moody's 83.8 free throw percentage leads the Sun Belt.

text: British indie rockers The Servant have split after 10 years. After launching in their native U.K., the group found huge success in France and Italy, where they became big stars. Bassist Matt Fisher writes on The Servant's MySpace page: "The Servant are splitting up! There will be no new Servant albums. "After 10 years we have reached the end of our road together and it's time to move on to pastures new. Dan (Black, frontman) will be pursuing his musical career in some form or another, the rest of us will disappear back into obscurity I would imagine. "So I would just like to say this...Thanks to all of you lot for showing us such love and support over the years and for making being in the band such an unforgettable experience."

I think Braxton will win the QB job if healthy. If not however I think he'd be one heck of an H-back
why would we offer a QB from Texas who had a leg injury in HS again, that worked out so bad for us last time.
Are you joking? Warinner is garbage and we still need to fire Fickell.
Glad to hear, if we had him still our linebackers would be loaded with him Kwon, Lee, and Perry.
Well the receivers are known as zone 6. I'd call the QB's the prophets. Rb's the hogs.
well when Braxton goes to Oregon it will be at 87
If I was the bignut I'd be to busy looking for the cameras. I chose the name bignut2017 because I'm a huge OSU fan, I graduate high school in 2017, and the BIG part is because I'm 6'5 210 and hope to play football at OSU as my dream
What 18 year old kid doesn't want to have some of the best coaches drooling over him come to an end
If Braxton's arm heals by fall camp than it should be a true battle between the three.
Maybe lisa ann moved on for Jeff Heuerman

Berlin: David Foster Wallace Pic Starring Jason Segel Sells to Multiple Territories
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions pre-buys James Ponsoldt's "The End of The Tour," which will also star Jesse Eisenberg.
BERLIN — Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has sealed a pre-sale deal across multiple territories to James Ponsoldt's The End of The Tour, starring Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg.
The movie follows author David Foster Wallace (Segel), author of Infinite Jest who committed suicide in 2008, on a book tour at the start of his fame.
Wallace is accompanied on the tour by Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky (Eisenberg). Along the way, jealousy and competition emerge between the two writers as they discuss women, depression and the pros and cons of fame.
SPWA snagged all rights in international English-speaking territories, Latin America and other key European territories to the picture penned by playwright Donald Margulies, who adapted Lipsky's book Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace.
Kilburn Media fully financed the film, with Mark Manuel and Ted O'Neal producing alongside David Kanter and Matt DeRoss for Anonymous Content and James Dahl of Modern Man Films.
Anonymous Content's Paul Green will executive produce the film, which is scheduled to begin shooting this year.
The deal was brokered by Michael Helfand, Jonathan Freedberg and Fortitude International continue to sell the movie to international territories in Berlin with UTA and WME handling domestic.
Fortitude International, which was co-founded by de Barros and producers Daniel Wagner and Robert Ogden Barnum, recently partnered with Untitled Entertainment on a slate of five upcoming films, one of which is a forthcoming project from director Ariel Vromen (The Iceman).
In addition to sales, Fortitude is also capable of fully financing projects, with plans to finance and sell 10-15 movies per year.
The Sony acquisition marks the second high profile pick up in as many days for the studio coming less than 24 hours after it struck a deal for Kevin Smith's modern-day monster pic Tusk for much of the world.
