Korean War soldier's remains returned home
STAFFORDSVILLE, Ky. -- The remains of a U.S. serviceman missing from the Korean War have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors, according to a release from the Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office.
Army Cpt. Richard Isbell, 19, of Fishtrap, Kentucky, son of the late William and Roma Isbell, will be buried Saturday, June 7, at Highland Memorial Park in Staffordsville, Kentucky. Graveside services are set for noon. Nelson-Frazier Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
According to the release, Isbell was assigned to Company H, 2nd Battlalion, 7th Infantry Division in April 1951. While deployed near Popsudong, South Korea, the division was attacked by Chinese forces. During that battle on April 25, 1951, Isbell was reported missing in action. However, after the war, Isbell was reported by returning POWs as having died in captivity on June 30, 1951, in a prisoner of war camp in Pyoktong, North Korea.
In 1954, Chinese and North Korean Communist forces exchanged the remains of war dead with United Nations forces, but in 1956, a military review board declared Isbell's remains unidentifiable. He was transferred to be buried as unknown in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii.
In 2013, scientists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command determined that advances in forensic technology made the identification of previously unidentifiable remains possible. In the identification of Isbell's remains, scientists used circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools, such as dental comparisons and radiograph comparisons.

Because it takes a great deal of energy to convert atmospheric nitrogen into biologically useful forms, ecosystems have evolved to get by on fairly modest amounts of organic nitrogen. From forest fires to farming to burning fossil fuels, human activities have been altering the natural nitrogen cycle for centuries. Human practices that add reactive nitrogen (nitrogen that has been fixed) to ecosystems can change ecological balances. Farming, for example, is a relatively nitrogen intensive activity. Crops deplete nitrogen in the soil; therefore many farmers use man-made fertilizers in order to augment nitrogen levels. Unfortunately, in its nitrate form, nitrogen is extremely soluble and is readily leached from the soils into ground water reservoirs which feed into lakes and streams. In heavily agricultural areas, fertilizers are the primary source of nitrogen pollution. Where livestock is raised, animal wastes that are rich in nitrogen - if not properly managed - can also be carried by rainwater into nearby bodies of water.
In areas with large human populations, most of the reactive nitrogen that is introduced into the environment by human activity comes from food and food processing. As with other animals, human wastes are nitrogen rich. This is especially the case with the large amounts of food protein that most Americans consume. Waste treatment facilities permit significant quantities of reactive nitrogen from human wastes to reenter the water cycle.
There are a variety of consequences of nitrogen pollution. A major source of reactive nitrogen is atmospheric deposition which comes largely from transportation emissions, as nitrogen oxides (NO x ) are released through the exhaust. These emissions are a key ingredient in the formation of ground level ozone (smog). Another form of reactive nitrogen - nitric acid (HNO 3 ) - is an important ingredient in the creation of acid rain.
One of the most serious consequences of nitrogen pollution is over-nutrition, or eutrophication, of aquatic ecosystems. Nitrogen leaches into the soil, and eventually into standing bodies of water, causing an unnaturally high level of nitrogen in the water. This eutrophication harms aquatic ecosystems by fueling excessive algae growth, which overshadows the water surface and deprives other aquatic organisms of necessary sunlight. When the algae dies, the oxygen consumed in the decomposition process can further deprive other aquatic organisms of needed oxygen. In extreme cases, eutrophication can result in the total die-off of fish in lakes and ponds.
Nutrient Overload: Unbalancing the Global Nitrogen Cycle This article by the World Resource Institute discusses potential impacts of the overabundance of usable forms of nitrogen which can affect both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Human Alteration of the Global Nitrogen Cycle: Cause and Consequences One of the Ecological Society of America's "Issues in Ecology," this 1997 report (.pdf) has been peer reviewed and is written to be "understandable by non-scientists."
Human Health Impacts of Nitrogen Cycle Manipulation A University of Colorado at Boulder study found that excess nitrogen production and human use has contributed to human health afflictions such as respiratory ailments, heart disease, and several cancers.
Nitrogen in the Earth System The National Center for Atmospheric Research and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research explain the nitrogen cycle and human impacts on its functioning.

posted at 10/20/2008 8:00 PM EDTMost likely. A guy like Harrison...if he gets injured you know its serious. I hope he is only out for a couple weeks though. Cause if hes out for season, thats probably the last time you will ever see this patriot play.

posted at 10/20/2008 8:04 PM EDTThat would really stink, bad way to go out... And would hate to lose him
posted at 10/20/2008 8:10 PM EDTIt would suck some bad, the only positive is that BB has John Lynch on speed dial ready to play and knows the playbook... just for this contingency.
posted at 10/20/2008 8:10 PM EDTDid not look good at all...this is a guy who would have gotten up under his own power if he could of...looks like he is gone for season. Too bad, as he is the ultimate Patriot prototype in my opinion. Hopefully I'm wrong and he bounces back quickly.
Looks like John Lynch might be getting a call soon...
posted at 10/20/2008 9:35 PM EDTI hope he is ok. I think BB should call Lynch to be safe.
posted at 10/20/2008 9:35 PM EDTThe guy was practially waving goodbye on his way out. He knew it...

posted at 10/21/2008 12:48 AM EDTIt didn't look good for Rodney last night.I hope it's something he can come back from soon and doesn't end his career.He's a great leader in the clubhouse as well as the field.He will be missed by all Pats fans and team mates.
If it is a long term injury,I agree with the previous posters who think Lynch might be getting a call.He'll bring some fire and hard hitting to the Pats.
Best of luck Rodney for a speedy recovery.
posted at 10/21/2008 3:28 AM EDTNot being able to get up.......Not good.....Afraid we have seen the last of this warrior for the season and possibly career.
Sonny......great idea for the champion Rodney is.
posted at 10/21/2008 4:14 AM EDTHad a good time at the game. Word was that he is out for the year. His wife was seen in the locker room after the game which isn't to common. I think he has played his last game. Bring back Law???

Hey 5 Rings, way to Rest on Past Laurels... Looks like the Patriot's need to Beat The Steelers into Submission yet again...no matter how many times this millenium some people get pounded on, some Teams and fans just never learn.
posted at 10/21/2008 5:31 AM EDTwhats really sick about some people is that they intentially come onto these boards to trash players who have a career ending injury. The only reason people dont like the pats and or players on this team is becasue they are constantly getting beat up by them... If we were cardinals fans 90% of these haters just wouldnt care. It really shows how good you are. FOr instance im in ny and all the jet fans hate the pats and my friends break my chops, i couldnt care for the jets cause we always beat them so to me it doesnt really matter nor do i hate them. Its like i didnt mind the giants , since they beat us i hate them lol. Luckily and with clock glitches might i add.
posted at 10/21/2008 5:35 AM EDTBoth Junior Seau and Lynch will be good
posted at 10/21/2008 5:39 AM EDTRodney always played his heart out. Never saw him take a play off. Never saw him back down and he always brought it.
posted at 10/21/2008 5:54 AM EDT5 rings - you've just shown us exactly what we all knew - just how classless Steelers fans are!
Thanks, and when Big Ben smashes his head open again due to his incredible stupidity for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle remember that Pats fans won't say S%$# because we're better than hoping someone gets hurt.
posted at 10/21/2008 6:32 AM EDTRodney will be greatly missed, he was one of those guys other teams hated but you loved him when he was on your team. I think he's probably done, and I think it would be a great idea to have a day for him.
5Rings, you are a classless piece of garbage. We all know Ulf Samuelson was one of your favorite players back in the day. He is the same type of guy. Other fans hate him but you love having him on your team...
posted at 10/21/2008 6:33 AM EDTRodney will go down as one of my favorite Patriot players of all time! He is an absolute warrior! He is the Terry O'Reilly of the Patriots. A true inspirational leader!
Looks like an end of an era for Rodney and the Pats. I hope he heals well and enjoys a much deserved retirement from pro football. Would love to see him be part of the Pats organization in some way. Perhaps as a position coach next year.
Thanks for the memories Rodney!
posted at 10/21/2008 6:40 AM EDTWe should call #24 to replace Rodney. The scouting report on him states that he hits hard and plays with a ton of emotion. He may be a little old, but I think he has what it takes to step in for Rodney. Check him out here:
posted at 10/21/2008 6:43 AM EDTRodney is a "team" guy, while Law is a "me" guy. As far as the future, I think Rodney will end up becoming a ref, kind of an ironic twist...
posted at 10/21/2008 6:48 AM EDTHe's done you could see it on his face. That was a look that said no more football playing again, not no more for this season. Hes great and the Pats just lost a lot of toughness cuz he's one of the toughest s.o.b.s in football. Heres to you Rodney, you made me forget Lawyer Milloy when i didnt think i could

A polycarbonate thermoplastic plastic candle cup for a tea-light candle is disclosed having raised designs on the interior surface of the cup to increase the surface area on which non-liquid wax adheres, thus providing an improved insulating layer of non-liquid wax between the plastic and the candle flame.
1. A flame-retardant plastic cup for a tea-light candle comprising:
a substantially flat and continuous base and integral sidewall formed of flame-retardant thermoplastic, having interior and exterior surfaces, the interior surface of said base having a centrally located recess for receiving liquid wax therein, said recess having a continuous outer perimeter about the center of said substantially flat and continuous base, and;
wherein the interior surface of said substantially flat and continuous base includes a portion between said outer perimeter and said sidewall, said portion having raised designs for wax adhesion thereon while permitting wax flow to the centrally located recess, said raised designs including at least one discontinuous element oriented in a non-radial direction, and wherein said portion exclusive of said raised designs is substantially flat and continuous.
2. A plastic cup as in claim 1 wherein the interior surface of said sidewall is fluted.
3. A plastic cup as in claim 1 further comprising plastic feet on the exterior surface of said base to allow air flow around the entire exterior surface of said cup.
This invention relates to a novel container made of polycarbonate plastic for 'tea light' candles.
'Tea-light' candles, used for decorative or votive lighting or as a source of heat for a chafing dish, are candles formed by introducing wax into either metal or flame-resistant plastic cups around a central wick. The typical tea-light candle burns for 4-6 hours in cups of 38 mm (1.5 in.) in diameter and 15 mm (⅝ in.) in height.
The cups, which retain the melted wax as the wick burns, are usually placed in non-flammable glass or ceramic candle holders that are well ventilated to allow heat conducted through the cup to dissipate by convection.
Plastic cups manufactured using injection molding techniques are a low cost alternative to metal cups for the tea-light candle, but plastic has an inherently lower ignition point than metal and conventional plastic cups have been known to ignite.
Plastic candle holders in the prior art, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,759,699 entitled "PLASTIC CUP HOLDER FOR FLAMING CANDLE", are not directed to tea-light candles where the wax is in direct contact with the cup walls and the cup itself forms part of the candle. The plastic candle holder of the '699 patent is specifically designed to hold a standard wax candle away from the plastic wall and base of the candle holder.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a safer plastic cup for se in tea-light candles.
It is another object of the invention to provide a plastic cup for tea-light candles that can be used with or without a glass or ceramic candle holder.
It is another object of the invention to provide a plastic cup for tea-light candles that may have any one of a variety of decorative shapes and colors.
The present invention is directed to a novel plastic cup for use in tea-light candles. Enhanced safety is achieved by incorporating raised designs into the interior base of the cup to increase the interior surface area of the cup on which an insulating layer of unmelted wax can adhere.
FIG. 1 depicts a schematic view of a tea-light candle using a novel plastic cup.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the the candle cup of the present invention.
FIGS. 3a and 3 b depict the base of the candle cup of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of the candle cup of the present invention in which the sidewalls of the cup are fluted.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the candle cup of the present invention in the shape of a hexagon.
FIG. 6. is a schematic view of the candle cup of the present invention in the shape of a square.
FIG. 7. is a schematic view of the candle cup of the present invention in the shape of a star.
Referring to FIG. 1, a novel plastic cup 1 for use with a tea-light candle is depicted. The plastic cup is preferably made of a moldable thermoplastic plastic resin that is suitable for injection molding and exhibits good clarity, heat and ignition resistance, and capable to be modified with respect to color, UV stability and mold release characteristics. The preferred thermoplastic plastic is a polycarbonate, which is commonly sold under several tradenames, including LEXAN®, manufactured by GE Plastics; MAKROLON®, manufactured by Bayer Corporation; and CALIBRE®, manufactured by Dow Chemical Company.
The candle cup 1 of the present invention has a substantially flat and continuous base 2 and integral sidewall 3 forming a container into which wax 8 is introduced around a wick 9 to make a 'tea-light' candle. Plastic feet 5 on the bottom external surface 6 of the base 2 allow air flow around the exterior of the cup to cool the tea-light candle by convection.
Referring to FIG. 2, a recess 4 centered in the internal surface 7 of the base 2 collects liquid wax as the candle burns. As the liquid wax concentrates in the recess 4, non-liquid wax adheres to the remaining interior surface area of the base which is relatively cooler. Because the coating of non-liquid wax on the interior surface area of the cup acts as an insulator, it is desirable to maximize the interior surface area in order to keep the temperature of the cup well below the ignition point of the plastic. The present invention is directed to increasing the cooler interior surface area of the cup.
Referring to FIGS. 3a and 3 b, in the candle cup of the present invention, raised designs are molded into the interior surface 7 of the base of the cup to increase the surface area on which the non-liquid wax adheres without blocking the flow of wax in the recess. Two such designs are shown in FIGS. 3a and 3 b respectively, but it will be recognized that virtually an unlimited number of designs may be used with equal effect.
Referring to FIG. 4, in a second embodiment of the present invention, the interior surface area 10 of the cup may be further enlarged by fluting the interior of the sidewall 11 as shown. Other functional designs on the interior sidewall will occur to those skilled in the art.
Injection molding techniques make it possible to produce tea-light candle cups in a wide variety of decorative shapes and sizes. As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7, for example, the plastic cups of the present invention may be manufactured in shapes such as the hexagon, square, and star shapes shown and in different sizes. Novelty shapes in the form of particular objects or animals may also be readily manufactured using plastic injection molding techniques.
Using colored polycarbonate plastic resins, the candle cup of the present invention may also be manufactured in a variety of colors to create an artistic tea-light candle.
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated and described, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various modifications and substitutions may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Horrible place!! The staff members are exceptionally rude! I came home numerous times and didn't have a place to park in my own lot. One day it was late when I got off work and I parked in a covered spot that I knew no one had. They fined me $100!!!! && Charged me a whole months rent after my contract was up even though I left around the 10th!! And my neighbor had a dog that woke me up all hours of the night even though I complained about it ten times!! Run away. Run far away!!!

Took this place about 2 weeks to figure my A/C unit needed to be replaced.when I repeatedly told them..and then they decided to do it on the hottest day of the summer....my house is now almost 90 degrees inside....yayyy...they also constantly change the locks on the front and back doors and dont give us a notice or heads up about it..I came home numerous time and was locked out of my own apartment..just very unorganized incompetent apartment staff..it looks pretty...dont let it fool you.

DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS APARTMENT THERE ARE CHEAPER NICER PLACES YOU CAN FIND CLOSE BY! I still live at this place. But, it is awful! It got taken over by Madison and at first I thought this was great because they said they were putting all this money into it. But then my contract ended and the apartment told me that rent out of a contract is about $2,400 and THE ONLY way she would fix it is if I signed another contract. Of course my rent went wayyyyy up. I didnt realize till after that it was illegal for them to do this and I got tricked...scammed into staying in a small apartment where my neighbor who has the same exact place pays $100 less.Then they told me if I sublease they wont give me my deposit back or make the apartment look more decent for the new tenants. Tell me thats not bad! I hate this place and cant wait to leave. In short this place made my life a lot more difficult and no place should do that. I cant explain how much I feel betrayed and black mailed by my own apartment. They are tricky be careful and stay far far away or youll be sorry or broke.

Waite girls defeated in state finalWritten by Scott Calhoun | | firstname.lastname@example.com
COLUMBUS- Junior Shanice McNeal missed the front side of a set of free throws with no time left on the clock and Waite fell by anguishing 49-47 count to Canton McKinley in the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I girls state basketball championship game at Value City Arena Saturday night.
It was Waite's first Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I state girls basketball championship appearance. Previously, the Indians (24-3) had never advanced beyond a regional semifinal prior to this season and owned one prior district championship (2006).
Sophomore Ameryst Alston scored 22 points to lead the Lady Pups to their first state crown in four trips to the DI state final four.
Senior Natasha Howard led Waite with a game-high 23 points and tied a state title game record with 14 rebounds. Howard scored 15 of her points and came through with eight steals to try and rally the Lady Indians from a 30-19 halftime deficit.
"What can you say, she's Natasha Howard and she's a very special player," said coach Manny May, the DI co-Coach of the Year.
McNeal's front-end miss with :00 on the final game clock was an ironic final twist in a game that saw the Indians shoot themselves in the foot with an 11-of-20 for 55 percent performance at the charity stripe while McKinley hardly fared better at 12-of-20 for 60 percent.
"You've got to make your free throws and we just didn't get em' down tonight," said May. "If we make those free throws we win the game."
The Indians were clearly nervous and rattled in the first half, turning the ball over four times in the game's opening 1:30, and then going on to commit 12 turnovers that led to 12 points in transition for the Lady Pups, who led 30-19 at halftime.
But the Indians settled down and began taking advantage of their superior height with junior Shanice McNeal (6'2") and Howard (6'3") dwarfing over the Lady Pups in the paint. The duo combined for 19 points and 10 rebounds in the second half. McNeal finished the evening with a team second-best 12 points and 11 boards.
Defensively May employed his full court press in the fourth quarter and it nearly paid off. The Indians induced 14 second half turnovers out of McKinley after the Lady Pups were mostly flawless with just three first half turnovers.
A steal by senior Courtney Jackson was fed to Howard on a break with 4:04 left cut the deficit to 42-38, and then Howard engineered a steal at midcourt following a split free throw set and brought then Indians within 42-41 moments later.
Senior Miriah Haynes scored the next four points for Waite to put them in front 45-44 with 2:42 left.
Sydnee Penn (15 points) hit three of four FT inside the two minute mark while Howard scored on a beautiful move in the lane with 1:50 to go and the teams were intertwined at 47-47.
Laneisha Lennon split free throws for McKinley, and after Waite junior PG Brooke Hunt missed a would-be go-ahead trey with eight ticks to go, Alston added a point at the other end on another charity split to allegedly secure the win.
But McNeal incurred a foul after getting hacked while grabbing an inbound pass from Jackson with .09 seconds to go and the clock showed no time left. Her miss left her crushed on the hardwood as nothing else could be done. Howard had fouled out on the previous Lady Pups possession.
Waite came that close to earning the third girls basketball state title in TPS history and first since Libbey won in 1981. Woodward won in 1976.
Haynes finished with seven points and Hunt four points.
To reach the final, Waite grinded past Kettering Fairmont 61-55 in one semi while McKinley knocked off Reynoldsburg 42-39 in OT March 19.
In the semifinal victory Howard produced 22 points, four rebounds and four blocks to lead the Lady Indians (24-2), but it was her supporting cast who came through with a gritty performance in her absence while sitting down with four fouls.
"I had confidence in my teammates. They handled it real good," Howard said.
The Lady Indians constructed a 29-22 lead in the first half as Howard tallied 11 points and swatted back three Firebirds shots and senior Courtney Jackson drilled three of five treys for nine points.
"I came out knowing I was going to let it loose (from three-point range)," said Jackson.
Fairmont generated a 9-4 run to open the second half and pulled within 33-31 at 3:50 of the third quarter, but senior Miriah Haynes and Howard combined forces to help Waite remain in front 41-36.
Howard picked up her fourth foul with a minute left in the third and had to watch from the bench until May reinserted her with three minutes left in the game. During that stretch the rest of her team nursed the advantage to 54-51.
Cassie Sant and Holley Carey kept the Firebirds flying and Fairmont closed to 56-55 with 2:17 left, but Howard scored on an inbound from Jackson (four assists) inside the final minute to seal it.
Haynes and Jackson finished with 12 points apiece for Waite.
Fairmont's Sant paced the Lady Firebirds with a game-high 25 points.

Meagan Good And DeVon Franklin Pose For Essence Magazine
How cute are they!
Actress Meagan Good and hubby DeVon Franklin are lighting up the pages of Essence Magazine, just in time for Valentine's Day. Inside, the Hollywood couple, who will be celebrating their 2nd anniversary in June, dish on how they keep their love strong, even after the honeymoon is over. Meagan says, "We make time for each other every day. Nothing comes before DeVon. Not a movie or photo shoot… nothing," while DeVon added, "Meagan and I both have strenuous time consuming careers. But no matter what, we make sure to make time for each other. If she's working late, I'll get off early and hang with her on set or vise versa."
As for when DeVon first realized that Meagan may actually be his wife, he reveals that they were at an after party for "Jumping The Broom," a film DeVon helped produce.
I was mindful of crossing that professional line. Then, while we were talking at the Jumping The Broom premiere party, I thought, 'Wait! Something is going on here' but I kept trying to tell myself, 'No, no no.'
He also shared:
Meagan is just so precious, so incredible. When she walks in the room, I think 'Wow, is that really my wife? God must really think highly of me!'

Arctic Athabaskan Council: Yukon First Nations climate change case study
This is Section 3.4.3 of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment; one of nine Arctic climate change case studies using indigenous knowledge.
Case Study Author: The Yukon Territory: Cindy Dickson
The Council of Yukon First Nations held a series of workshops in February 2003 to address climate change. On February 12 and 13, twenty elders representing the Elders Council of the Council of Yukon First Nations took part in the Elders Climate Change Workshop. This workshop happened as a result of suggestions given by community elders. They said that the changing northern climate was an important issue because it had implications for human health and cultural survival. Following a round-table discussion, the elders divided themselves into three groups – representing the north, central, and south Yukon regions. Each elder shared his or her knowledge and concerns about changes in weather and how these changes have affected the way of life in their nation's traditional territory. A second Yukon First Nations Climate Change Forum was held February 26 and 27, 2003. Elders, community representatives, scientists, and government representatives participated in the forum. Elders listened to explanations of government programs and research and provided suggestions as to how federal and territorial governments and researchers could work in partnership with Yukon First Nations communities to develop a longterm strategy for climate change.
Yukon First Nations elders share a growing concern about the changes that are taking place on their lands and in their way of life. Climate change is responsible for some but not all of these changes. Contaminants from local sources and long-range transport have been a source of worry for cultural activities such as trapping, hunting, and eating traditional foods, resulting in changes to community social life. As the environment has changed, people have had to learn to cope with the change. Understanding why things have changed and why this is happening helps people adjust. Yukon elders want to share what they know, and to learn as much as they can from others about climate change and its impacts. Only through knowledge and the ability to take action for themselves will Yukon First Nations be able to respond effectively to climate change.
At the Elders Climate Change Workshop and the Yukon First Nations Climate Change Forum, elders and community representatives described the changes that they have seen. For example, in the northern Yukon, freezing rains in November have meant that animals cannot eat. Birds that usually migrate south in August and September are now being seen in October and November. In some areas, thawing permafrost has caused the ground to drop and in some cases has made the area smell foul. In more southerly communities, rings around the moon are no longer seen, although they are still visible in the northernmost community. There are increased sightings of new types of insect and an increase in cougar (Puma concolor) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). People used to be able to predict when it would get colder by looking at tree leaves. It is difficult to do that now. Lakes and streams are drying up, or are becoming choked with weeds, making the water undrinkable. Many animals are changing their distribution and behavior. Polar bears used to go into their dens in October and November, but are now out until December. One bear was spotted in winter sleeping under a tree but above ground, rather than in a den, which was regarded as an exceptional and unprecedented sighting.
Many of these changes have been observed since the 1940s, although some began earlier. These changes have produced much concern and anxiety. People are concerned about the future. Habits have changed, so that people now depend more and more on market foods and eat fewer traditional foods. In the face of such changes, people often mobilize to take action. One result in the Yukon is that elders are willing to assist in developing a strategy and are prepared to find ways to cope with the changes, as difficult as that may be. In many statements, the elders expressed their fears about these changes. One said that he had never expected to see the day when people would worry about water, but now he hears about that all the time. Another remembered, "We were able to read the weather, what it was going to be like".
At the workshops, Yukon First Nations elders made it clear that partnerships must be developed between the federal government, the territorial government, and Yukon First Nations, as well as with scientists and non-governmental organizations. Each community must have the ability to prepare for change and to be a part of designing the strategies that are being developed in relation to climate change. At the international level, Yukon First Nations elders have shared their traditional knowledge and cultural values to help shape policies through the Arctic Athabaskan Council. The elders and community representatives concluded that their workshops were just a start. More is needed. To that end, an elders panel of five members has been created. This is to be consulted and to have a representative who will work with the Council of Yukon First Nations and the Arctic Athabaskan Council.

The staff at check-in (we checked in around 8:00 pm) was very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was fine - scrambled eggs, sausage, breads, mini muffins, cereal, waffles, juices. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom cleaned, and there were plenty of towels. Our room included a mini fridge and microwave. It's very close to an Applebee's and a Cracker Barrel.
The entire hotel smells like smoke. No kidding. Our room - a non-smoking request - didn't, but the halls and lobby do. The television is circa 1985, which wasn't a big problem for us because we were hardly in the room. If you're going to spend time in it, though, the TV isn't fabulous. There was no clock on the bedside table. While the beds were comfy and the linen clean, the decor of the rooms and the hotel shows its age. A little upgrading might be good. For the money, it was a good deal, though.
the staff was friendly even at 130 in the morning when we arrived. the room was clean and neat
Was all good.
There hot breakfast bar I have to say was pretty good
There was water all over the floor under the air conditioner
good value
no ice machine since has a kitchen in the room
Pool closed
I like the condition of the hotel and its location for where I needed to teach that weekend
I would rate their breakfast which I had for three days at a 2. Food tastiness was poor
Quiet and clean.
Breakfast was poor.
The staff were incredibly helpful
There was no options for eating in the local
Breakfast was good and the breakfast staff was friendly. The breakfast hours were great (6-10AM). The hotel location was convenient to our family in Lexington.
Cleaning staff could have been better - they didn't clean our room the first day and weren't particularly friendly. They seemed reluctant to leave enough shampoo (1 small bottle for 4 of us), and some days we had 2 or 3 bath towels instead of 4.
There was a lot not to like door did not shut completely curtians worn and holes every where in them few outlets that worked or were loose not attached to the wall securely
The room reaked of smoke even though it was non smoking and had cigarette burns on the sheets and ashes on the nightstand. The ac did not work, there were no towels. Staff was extremely rude.
Room smelled dirty. Got bitten by a bed bug. Got a call 35 mts before check-out to make sure we were leaving.

Rescue 2 responded to 200 Willoughby Ave. for a fire at The Pratt Institute . Battalion 31 transmitted the 10-75 for a fire on the top floor of a 6 story 20 x 100 building. @ 0223hrs Battalion 32 transmitted a second alarm , 2 lines stretched and put into operation fire thru the roof. @ 0301 hrs Division 11 reports 4 lines stretched and in operation , 2 tower ladders set up main body of fire knocked down , primary searcehs were negative. @ 0311 hrs Field Com 1 Urgent by orders of Car 13b transmitted a 4th alarm.
Devastated students lost their artwork in an inferno at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn this morning, which injured three people, according to authorities and students.
The four-alarm blaze began shortly before 2:15 a.m. at the Main Building on Willoughby Avenue, near Steuben Street, which houses fine art classes and studios, as well as some offices. The historical building dates back to 1887.
The sixth floor of the Main Building, which houses the senior painting studios, was gutted, as was the roof, according to a statement by the Pratt Institute. The fifth floor was also badly damaged.
There was also water damage throughout the building.
Madeline Mikolan, 22, a senior at Pratt, said she had ten paintings in the fire-ravaged building—all part of her thesis. She and two other students had a show scheduled for Monday.
"It's devastating," she said. "All of us were working doing this, putting in hundreds of hours work—and it's all lost in four hours. It's just tragic."
Almost 170 Bravest battled the blaze until about 4:10 a.m. when it was extinguished. Nearby residents posted pictures of the fire online– showing heavy flames and thick smoke shooting from the building's roof, which partially collapsed.
EMS took two firefighters to Brooklyn Hospital in stable condition. A civilian who was also hurt refused medical attention at the scene, according to an FDNY spokesman.
The Pratt Institute said that classes in the Main Building and nearby South Hall were canceled today, as well as for tomorrow.

4.0 out of 5 stars This world "needs" another Hunter S. Thompson..,
RIGGER1 (CALGARY, ALBERTA.) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone: The Essential Writing of Hunter S. Thompson (Hardcover)
Hunter knew the world was all going to hell long before it even happened. When I was younger (rebellious grunge teen/early 90's) I never really understood his obsession with the death of the american/democratic dream. I never really got his scrutiny of politics and/or his unwavering quest to maintain personal liberties and constitutional rights that he felt were under constant attack of being violated or taken all together. I simply thought gonzo journalism was awesome and the whole concept of it was both entertaining and rebellious, it was kind of fascinating. Fast forward 20 years and I find these works still entertaining but hauntingly disturbing as well. Behind that typewriter was what most people considered a drug fueled maniac, but was he? Of course we all know Hunter did alot of drugs, but for myself, I can't simply dismiss all these ramblings as a drug induced haze. They were right, he was right, shockingly so right I wonder how he knew? Stripped civil liberties, 9/11 backlash, invasion of privacy, collapsing economies, the advent of the death of the american dream? I don't know.. Am I going too deep with this? Am I the only one who thinks these things? Was his health that bad or did he just decide a bullet in his head was the final answer? He said he would, and he sure followed through, just like everything else, full bore, top gear, right to the end. We don't really have anybody like a Hunter anymore, RIP. If he was still alive could he even handle what's going on these days? Some people might think these post death works are a cash grab, all I can say is keep them coming because they're not only entertaining to me, they're thought provoking as hell. I for one highly recommend his musings and this book, it's a lost art form that the world "needs" right now more than ever. I've come full circle with Hunter and I think his journalism was written off too easily because of the drugs. There's important work here, and I think you will feel the same.
5.0 out of 5 stars crazy genius,

By: Ashley McElroy, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The New Mexico Gas Company wants to discontinue natural gas service to parts of San Juan County, including Navajo Lake State Park.
Maintenance Manager Allen Adkins said converting all 19 gas meters at Navajo Lake State Park to propane will be a lengthy process.
"It's just going to cause an inconvenience for us," Adkins said.
In a deal being proposed, 63 customers in te county would lose gas service, including the lake.
Maintenance of these sites is going to be more expensive because propane costs more than natural gas, but it's the services that maintenance provides that could affect visitors.
"It could possibly cause us to not have hot showers, and that is a very (big) inconvenience for all of our campers," Adkins said. "We provide supply water to Sims, Cottonwood and Navajo and they're huge buildings that we have to pump water out of the lake and process the water to drinking water standards."
Adkins says the lake doesn't want to eliminate services visitors love, but with giant maintenance facilities to heat it's going to be challenging.
"The shops are too big to feasibly heat with our budgets. Our budgets aren't going to increase," Adkins said.
The agreement has to be approved by the Public Regulations Committee. The hearing is set for July. Under the deal, the gas company would pay to convert gas meters to propane at Navajo Lake.

A quick reminder to those who heard an announcement last Friday on WSGC radio about the Elbert County/Franklin County basketball game.
The game, originally scheduled for Friday, January 25th, was postponed due to the threat of wintry weather.
The first make-up date announced was for tomorrow, February 2nd; however that is no longer correct.
The basketball games will be made up on next Saturday, February 9th instead. The varsity games will begin at 6:00pm, and the junior varsity games will precede that at 3:00pm.
Both varsity games will be carried live by 1400AM and 96.5FM The Voice of Elberton.

Tonight! Strippers, Live and On-Screen!
Bazooka's dancers are all in compliance with the law in person; dancers have their hoo-ha's and whatnots covered at all times. But while they're dancing so demurely, large video screens on either side of the stage show pre-recorded footage of the same dancer buck naked. According to Snow, the videos are legal. The Kansas City Police Department concurs, but some of the law's architects disagree -- particularly Philip Crosby, executive director of the American Family Association of Kansas and Missouri.
Speaking to the Kansas City Star, Crosby said:
"We anticipated these creative props to try and circumvent the law. We will pursue it and see if we can't get some remedy."Crosby may find that difficult. State Representative Mike Talboy doesn't think Bazooka's is violating the law, and state Senator Jolie Justus told the Star she objects to the law on the grounds that it should be the city dictating what happens in city businesses, not the state.
The question now is, who's eyes do you avoid when getting a lap dance at Bazooka's -- the stripper on the screen, or the one in your lap?

SAS has become the latest European carrier to go for one-way fares on its short-haul route network, following in the footsteps of Aer Lingus and the UK's bmi. The Irish flag carrier became the first network major to follow the example of low-cost players and offer cheaper one-way fares, and do away with the much-hated saturday night stopover restrictions.
It is the markets where low-cost competition is at its fiercest – Ireland, the UK and Scandinavia – where the legacy carriers have been forced to response first. British Airways, after initial reluctance, began offering them in the early summer. Although both Air France and Lufthansa say they have no plans to follow suit, how long can they, and others, hold out against simple old market demand and the move to one-way fares goes from being a trickle to a flood?

News Section: Environment
E Investigates the Nanoparticles in Our Food
The November/December 2012 issue of E - The Environmental Magazine (now posted at: www.emagazine.com) features a package of articles devoted to the increasing presence of nanoparticles in our food supply.
On the surface, nanoparticles seem to offer many potential benefits: By adding them to foods and food packaging, they can help deliver nutrients, act as thickening agents, enhance taste or flavor or ensure longer freshness of food. But these tiny microscopic versions of silver, zinc, titanium dioxide and other metals and nutrients, largely because of their microscopic size, may cause adverse health impacts.
The problem is that scientists are still determining the health and environmental impacts of these tiny particles, even as industry is forging ahead. Each of these nanoparticles has a distinct way of reacting with the human body, and there is little research to assure us that ingesting these microscopic materials is safe. Even more alarming, there is no information readily available to consumers alerting them as to which products contain nanoparticles, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not keep records on the matter.
E Magazine asked a spokesperson at the FDA: "Where are the nanomaterials most often found within food products?" He answered: "FDA does not maintain a list of food products that contain nanomaterials, so we cannot reliably answer this question."
Foods Containing Nano
Despite lack of a comprehensive listing, we know that nanoparticles are in the food supply, and have been for at least a decade. Recent research found that foods with caramelized sugar, including bread and corn flakes, contain carbon nanoparticles. Many nutritional supplements -- or "nanoceuticals" -- come equipped with copper, silver or iron nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can be used to purify water, as anti-caking and gelatin-forming agents, and in packaging to protect against UV light, prevent the growth of microbes or detect contamination. And titanium dioxide lends white pigment to most toothpastes and many processed foods, including Mentos, Trident and Dentyne gum, M&Ms, Betty Crocker Whipped Cream Frosting, Jello Banana Cream Pudding, Vanilla Milkshake Pop Tarts and Nestle Original Coffee Creamer.
Nanoparticles also enter the food supply unintentionally. Biosolids from wastewater treatment plants that are used as fertilizer contains zinc oxide nanoparticles from sunscreens and other products. Research has found that soybeans grown with this fertilizer take up the nanoparticles in their leaves, stems and beans.
And nanoparticles in food wrappings, used to protect the food from contamination, could be contaminating our bodies instead. "We know that there's nanosilver in food wrapping and food packaging," says Jennifer Sass, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). "That nanosilver releases ions, so those ions could be getting into the food. The ions are toxic, they are the antimicrobial part of the silver."
Because companies are not required to label their products as containing nanomaterials, and only do so voluntarily, it is primarily the companies that make supplements, who wish to tout their copper, silver or iron nanoparticles, that give consumers a clue as to what's inside.
What's the Worry?
Nanoparticles, whether in consumer goods or in the food supply, are being treated as though they are equivalent to their larger counterparts. In other words, the government considers silver and nano-silver to be essentially the same. But their tiny size means they function quite differently within the body, the full ramifications of which are still coming to light. In 2011, researchers discovered that silver nanoparticles, when inhaled, cause lung toxicity or inflammation in exposed mice.
Similarly, inhaled copper nanoparticles increased the risk of pulmonary infections in mice. Carbon nanotubes, used in super-strong plastics and for computer chips, have presented a particular worry, when research found in 2008 that the particles can damage lungs in a similar fashion as asbestos, which the particles resemble in shape and size.
Ingesting nanoparticles may cause more subtle health problems than inhalation. The particles, due to their small size, can pass into the bloodstream and then accumulate in organs. Once there, writes the American Society of Safety Engineers, they can "disrupt and impair biological, structural and metabolic processes and weaken the immune system."
And recent research discovered that when chickens consumed large quantities of polystyrene nanoparticles, approved for human consumption, they blocked the animals' ability to absorb iron. Cornell researcher Gretchen Mahler, one of the authors of the study, says: "The nanomaterials that are being developed all have very different reactivity with human tissues. This means that you can't apply results with one type of nanoparticle to all other nanoparticles -- you have to test them all individually."

My escape: I run to the beach for my escape…the calming sounds of the ocean waves or waves of the lake (now that I'm in Chicago) is especially soothing to me. I've always had a connection with water and find this to be the ultimate meditation destination.
If only I could walk on water…

...Once upon a time...
There was a silver-haired, Russian mechanical wizard...
that defied The General... built a snake-eater... and created a legend...
All-New Color Corvette Grand Sport Giclee & Laser Prints
As seen in the December 2009 issue of VETTE Magazine.
The NEW full-color Grand Sport prints are available in any of these links:
1963 Grand Sport / 1996 Grand Sport / 2010 Grand Sport
Yes, a silver-haired mechanical wizard fell in love with the young and beautiful Princess of The General, in the stylish house of Chevrolet. Her name was Corvette and under the good graces of the House of Chevrolet's Lord of Styling and Good Looks, Master Harley Earl she was the most beautiful machine in the entire kingdom of The General. Now the wizard's name was Duntov, Zora Arkus-Duntov and he had a passion for racing like no one else in the House of Chevrolet. "Zora the Silver" focused his unbridled passion for racing on the young Corvette and before long, she was winning races all across the land!

A 1965 Corvette Coupe hooked me at the tender age of 11. I suppose it's like your first crush – if she happened to have long blond hair and blue eyes, you'll always have a soft spot for blue-eyed blonds. That's how it is for me and the C2 "Sting Ray" Corvettes. As I grew older and studied the entire lineage of Corvettes, I've developed a passion and understanding for all six generation Corvettes. But for me, the C2 Sting Rays are my favorite.
Of all six generations of Corvettes, the C2 Sting Rays only lasted 5 model years. Within that short period of time, we were treated to an almost continuous flow of new advancements for the Corvette. "Fully independent suspension" was something ONLY found on exotic sports cars from Europe. The Split-Window '63 Corvette Coupe looked like the "future" had arrived! The Z06 "racer kit" gave Corvette racers a big hand up. The L84 327 Fuel-Injection "Fuelie" was "the" hot setup for Corvettes. Then in '65 we were offered 4-wheel disc brakes as "standard equipment," PLUS the optional 425-horsepower, L78 396 cubic-inch big-block engine. "HOLY HORSEPOWER & TORQUE, BATMAN!"
The following year, the L78 396 morphed into the L72 427, only to morph once again in '67 into the awesome and infamous L71 427/435 with its 3, 2-bbl carbs and big triangular air cleaner. And for "off road use only" customers, there was the legendary L88 427 with aluminum heads.
But standing quietly in the background of the above mentioned cars was the ultimate "could-have-been" Corvette – the Grand Sport. If GM's upper management had just gotten out of the way, turned a blind eye, or used the Sergeant Schultz defense, "I know nothing. NOTH-ING!," the Grand Sport Corvettes would have given the Cobras a good thrashing! Or at least, we would have seen some awesome racing between those two rivals.
Visually, the Grand Sports looked as if Duntov had them on the Charles Atlas isometrics program. They had lumps, bumps, scoops, flares, side-mounted headers, coolers, and vent holes. From every angle, the car looked like a scrapper, "Come on! I dare ya!" And behind it all was that wild, silver-haired Russian engineer, Zora Arkus-Duntov, who was planning on first building 125 Grand Sports for homologation, then building THOUSANDS of Grand Sports for Corvette racers to do battle with not only Shelby's Cobras, but Europe's best from Jaguar, Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari, and others! It could'a been SO COOL!
It has been my extreme pleasure to create this Grand Sport Corvette Legend website and most of the art prints shown here. If you have any questions about Grand Sport Corvettes or would like to share images or insights, I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com, and will be happy to answer any questions or just do a little bench racing.
