LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The 2012 New Mexico State Football team held practice No. 11 on Tuesday afternoon. The Aggies were on the field for about two hours.
The Aggies wore full pads for the single practice in between a pair of two-a-day sessions. Quickly approaching the midpoint of fall camp, head coach DeWayne Walker challenged both sides of the ball to elevate their play and execution in the upcoming two-a-day session on Wednesday.
The Aggies will be back on the field tomorrow for practices No. 12 and No. 13 beginning at 9:15-11:30 a.m. on the football practice field followed by later in the day by a 4-6 p.m. session.

Our environment effects how we feel about our day. When we think about environmental this goes beyond recycling. It is more about how we respect the environment and being a citizen of our community. Things to consider are:
1. If I see a hazard situation do I report this?
2. Do I volunteer for a worthy cause?
3. Amy I aware of my surroundings?

A View From The Lake

Songs not to listen to on a cold and snowy night...
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
"There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart"
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
-- "Pictures of You" ~ The Cure

On another blog, we've been given a challenge to come up with utopic town laws. Here are mine:
My Town
1) The Golden Rule is key: "Do unto others what you would have done unto you."
2) Families are important. Healthy families mean happy families. Parents will be able to take 104 weeks of paid parental leave following the birth and/or adoption of a child. Healthcare is provided by the government.
3) Minimum wage would increase as the cost of living increases. A COLA would be in effect at all times.
4) Equality is key. We welcome all persons and families dedicated to living lives that promote tolerance and equality of everyone. Violations of this will result in public humiliation and severe application of the Golden Rule.
5) Environmentally sound practices will be in effect at all times: recycling is mandatory, solar, wind and hydroelectric power shall be used as much as possible, biodiesel or electric cars are encouraged. Green space is encouraged.
6) Practice of religion is not allowed in the public school. Silent prayer is allowed as long as it does not interrupt the regular flow of the school day. Religion may be taught as a class, however, all major world religions must be taught and equally respected. All aspects of sexual education, including the use of birth control methods and STD prevention, will be taught beginning in the 6th grade. Such subject matter will be age appropriate. Schools will be run year-round, following the European and Japanese models.
7) Civility is key. Be polite to one another, help each other.
8) Guns are used by the police for the enforcement of laws. However, gun use by law enforcement is not encouraged. Private gun ownership is not allowed. There will be a gun rental service provided by the government during hunting seasons where hunters will be able to rent guns and purchase ammunition for hunting purposes only.
9) Bartering/trade for goods and services is encouraged. However, unfair practices will result in public humiliation and application of the Golden Rule.
10) Government shall be fiscally responsible. The budget shall be balanced at the end of each fiscal year, with the elected officials personally responsible for any budget shortfall, unless an unforeseen natural or unnatural disaster occurs, at which time, the entire population shall help contribute to balancing the budget on a sliding scale of contributions. Taxation will be kept to a minimum and only to help finance the government and its relevant operations. Taxation will also be on a sliding scale, with those who have the most paying the most and those who have the least paying the least. However, all shall pay something.

The Breathtaker
I just got done reading one of the scariest books I've ever read. Now, I don't generally read scary novels - Dean Koontz - yuk. Stephen King - mostly yuk. RL Stine - uber-yuk.
I read "Silence of the Lambs" before I ever saw the movie and it scared me so much, I was sure Jamie Lumb was going to come in through the window. I was living on the ground floor of my dorm at the time. During the summer. There were 5 people in the very large dorm. I was the only one on my floor. I haven't read any more of Thomas Harris's books.
I can still tell you in detail the very first truly scary book I read. I can't remember the name, but I remember the whole story....
Anyway, so I make it a point to not read scary novels. I don't enjoy them because my brain usually runs away with me and I have a hard time sleeping. (I don't watch scary movies, either.)
I didn't think that this book would be scary. It was a mystery. But it threw in a twist: tornados. I am both entranced and scared of tornados, thunderstorms, violent weather of any kind. I love the movie "Twister." The movie "The Day After Tomorrow" was right up my alley. Tornados are what drew me to the book.
I didn't think anything would be too bad in this book... it was a mystery, after all. However, I forgot about my imagination and the power of a good story to lure you in beyond what is good for you.
I went upstairs with the lights on. Jumped when I heard a rumble of a truck going by - thought for sure it was thunder or a funnel cloud heading my way. Waited for the door to open with "The Tornado Killer" standing there... yeah. Creepy.
So give "The Breathtaker" by Alice Blanchard a read...

Here's The Kiddo!
Not that anybody reads this any longer, but perhaps if I update it, people will come back... here's two photos of my daughter, Hazel Mae, aged 3 months, when this was taken.
She's two feet long and 10lbs 12oz! Woo-ooo!

Cross Postings...
I've been sadly neglectful of my dear blog... partially because I've been quite busy,(having a kiddo will do that to you) but also because it's been easier to blog on myspace. I know. Myspace. I shudder too, but now I'm addicted. I really want to do a redesign of this blog and perhaps it will inspire me more. Anyway, here's the first of a cross-post from the myspace blog:

Weekend @ Grandpa's
Current mood: awake
Category: Life
We went to my grandpa's this weekend to take a four-generation photograph with Great-Grandpa Brand, Grandma Judy, Hazel and myself. Not only were Ezra, Hazel and I there, but Grandma Judy, Great-Grandpa Brand, Great-Aunt Sandy, Great-Uncle Richard, Aunt Becky, Uncle Jim, Cousin Paige, Jim's sister Jodi, her husband Nick and their baby Liz, and Jim's parents, Joanne and George. It was a houseful! Then add on top of that my Aunt Sandy's sister's two kids for a night and it got even more full!
Ezra did a whole bunch of "man things" with Jim and Nick.It was really funny watching him put up a big tent, go fishing and go put a boat in the water. It was funny because I'm just not used to it - he does "man things" up here, but somehow it was different. I think because here we both do things - I check the fluids on the car and take care of general maintenence (although if it's a big problem, he takes care of it), he does the dishes. It just works out that way. It was just unusual to see him doing this stuff. I suppose, too, because Jim and Nick are those type of guys who fish, drive trucks, and etc.. and Ezra and I are kind of the hipster funksters of the bunch. Anyway, random thought.
Pretty much we just kind of visited and got caught up - didn't even play dice or Rummikub, much to Grandpa's chagrin!
But the biggest surprise of all was Ezra out in a kayak! Yes, he went out on the water and got wet! I couldn't believe it! It was pretty amazing! I took pictures to send to his mom!
All in all, a pretty good weekend.
Look for more to come in the coming days... :D

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Texas attorney general has reached a $36.3 million settlement with two pharmaceutical companies accused of Medicaid fraud.
Attorney General Greg Abbott's office announced the deal on Friday with Pfizer Inc. and Endo Pharmaceuticals. Each company will pay $18.1 million and attorney's fees.
Abbott's prosecutors charged the two companies with misrepresenting the costs of generic drugs to Medicaid, the health care program for the poor, disabled and elderly. The inflated costs led to overpayments to the pharmacy companies.
The case arose form a whistleblower lawsuit brought by the Florida-based pharmacy Ven-a-Care and the state intervened to recover taxpayer money. Ven-a-Care is entitled to a share of the settlement, along with the federal government, which provides two-thirds of Medicaid funding.
Medicaid is one of the largest items in the state budget.

Hundreds queue outside Highcross Leicester for new iPhone 5
Posted: September 21, 2012|
Hundreds of people were queuing outside Highcross Leicester this morning to become some of the first Apple fans to own a new iPhone 5.
Some people had started queuing from as early as 8pm yesterday evening and slept outside to get their hands on the latest iPhone.
Kexin Sun, 34, a masters student who lives in the city centre camped out from 9pm last night to be one of the first to get his hands on the gadget.
"I want to get one before I go back to my home country of China," he said. "I thought I might as well try and since I am so near the front of the queue I think I have been successful. I am very excited and happy."
The latest Apple phone was available from 8am and is already guaranteed to be a best-seller, with the company reporting pre-orders around the world of two million in just 24 hours and adding that demand has been so great many customers will not get them until October.
The phone, which is thinner and lighter than previous models and can use the newly-announced 4G network, costs from £529, with the 32GB model selling for £599 and the 64GB version costing £699.
The launch of new Apple products traditionally attracts impressive queues at the brand's stores, with first-time campers joining veterans who are willing to sleep rough to be one of the first to own the latest piece of technology.
Reaction on Twitter to the excitement over the iPhone launch in Leicester was mixed. @Just_Newey tweeted: "People have been at @Highcross since last night for this iPhone thing? Whaaat. What's all the hype about?"
@Blakeetaylor on the other hand said: "Woow the net store is open! They want business!!! #iphone5queue @Highcross." @Blakeetaylor reckoned hundreds were queuing: "Wow must be like 600+ plus here now!" #iphone5queue @Highcross. And earlier in the evening
@AndrewSymeou warned "@Nandos_Official in Leicester @Highcross made a drastic mistake leaving furniture outside on iPhone release night. They are all gonna goo!"
The queue this morning via Dipz.P @ChocDipz on Twitter.
On Regent Street in London, two Leicester men made it to the front of the queue to help raise money for a good cause.
Richard Wheatcroft and George Horne, of social enterprise crowdfuelledcauses.com, which has its headquarters in Phoenix Square, said they were going to sell the phones and use the money to raise awareness of Hope Boutique Bakery which supports vulnerable people. The pair were the first in the queue - arriving on Saturday, September 15.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton moved to terminate aid to Honduras today in response to a June 28 coup that deposed its elected President Jose Manuel Zelaya. The U.S. also decided to revoke visas for officials in the de facto government and supporters of Zelaya's overthrow.
"Today's, you know, action sends a clear message to the de facto regime that the status quo is unacceptable and that their strategy, to try to run out the clock on President Zelaya's term of office, you know, is unacceptable. And the time has come for all the parties to sign the San Jose accords," State Department spokesman PJ Crowley told reporters.
The U.S. is cutting off $30 million in aid to Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere. Those funds had already been frozen earlier this summer, now they can be reprogrammed for other uses. Some aid, like HIV/AIDS treatment continues.
Crowley said it will only restart aid once there is a "return to democratic, constitutional governance in Honduras."
The move comes as Secretary Clinton met today with Zelaya for one hour in Washington to explain the action, and urge him to take steps towards reconciling the impasse in negotiations with the de facto government.
Clinton declined to declare Zelaya's ouster a "military coup," a determination that would trigger an automatic cutoff in aid under U.S. law. In effect, not doing so retains the ability to restart aid within the State Department as opposed to receiving approval from Congress. Clinton's legal advisor had recommended last week that the coup be branded a "military coup."
In the statement today the State Department referenced the military's role in the coup, but counted it as one of several players. On June 28, Zelaya, still wearing his pajamas, was expelled from the country by the military but power was quickly transitioned to a civilian government.
The United States delayed the decision to cut off aid to Honduras for months in hopes diplomatic efforts led by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias would resolve the situation, but though a settlement has been proposed, it has not been agreed to. Known as the San Jose Accords, it would allow for Zelaya's return to power until scheduled elections in November, but not allow him to run for office. Zelaya had been trying to modify the country's constitution to remove term limits to allow him to run for re-election.
The United States revoked visas for some Honduran officials earlier this summer, but today expanded that step. Last week the U.S. embassy in Honduras halted issuing visas, an effort to tighten the screws on the de facto government.
National elections are currently scheduled to take place Nov. 29, but on Wednesday Zelaya said that the international community would not recognize the newly elected president, and that he was assured that the Organization of American States wouldn't either.
Nor would the United States.
In a statement today, the State Department said: "At this moment, we would not be able to support the outcome of the scheduled elections. A positive conclusion of the Arias process would provide a sound basis for legitimate elections to proceed. We strongly urge all parties to the San Jose talks to move expeditiously to agreement."

Online bus tracking system takes the guessing game out of bus arrivals
Many students at UAA use the People Mover bus system to get to and from school every day. Numerous bus routes run through Anchorage, and all are free to ride for any student who has a University of Alaska ID. It is an alternative for students who don't want to shell out the cash for a parking pass, or the money for gas.
While a free ride is appreciated, there are downsides to using public transportation. Among the concerns that students have are the occasional drunks that meander onto the bus and cause havoc, the extra amount of time it takes to get anywhere because it's not usually a straight route to any rider's particular destination, and it is continuously stopping for other passengers- making it run even later.
"I had a class at 8 in the morning last semester, and I had to be outside and on the bus at 6 in order to get to school in time and get to class before it started," said student Amanda Sterling.
Another set-back to riding the bus is being stuck outside in the middle of winter, waiting for a bus that may be running late. Because a person usually doesn't know how late it is running, they have to stand outside and remain at the bus stop so that they won't miss the bus. To amend this, most major bus stops have an electronic board that displays all of the arrival times of the buses to that stop. For the rest of the stops, riders have little to rely on, and end up sitting at an uncovered bus stop waiting unpleasantly in the dreary cold.
Student Terry Vogul knows the feeling, "It's always a guessing game because you want to get to the bus stop early in case the bus is running early, but if it isn't running on time then you have to wait outside even longer until it comes. Sometimes in the winter when buses get stuck, you don't know and you are just waiting for the bus that seems like it will never come."
What many students do not know is that the Municipality of Anchorage has had an online system for tracking buses for several years. It was originally created as a way for the Muni to track the buses and adjust their time schedules based on how early or late a bus got through its route. Then it was decided that the system would be useful for the people of the community, and made it public for everyone to use.
Accessible via computer, tablet, or smart phone, this system makes it easy for a student to check the schedule of their bus, and stay inside until the estimated arrival time or make a dash to the stop if they are running late. It is also useful for just running around town.
"The system loads pretty well on my iPhone. It's great when I don't have a computer that I can easily access. I use it all the time on my phone when I'm taking the bus to get around town too," said Peter Larkin.
While the system isn't perfect yet, it is the best alternative to waiting outside and wondering if the bus will ever come.
The bus tracker can be found online at: http://bustracker.muni.org/InfoPoint/

Illegal immigrant charged with kidnapping, sexual abuse in Fayette County
Posted By Adan On August 7, 2013 @ 4:46 pm In Border Control & Illegal Immigration,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Radio Iowa
August 7, 2013
An illegal immigrant who was living in northeast Iowa under an assumed identity is now behind bars, accused of kidnapping and sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl. The Fayette County Sheriff's Office reports 23-year-old Rodrigo Sandoval Estrada had been living in Ossian, where residents knew him as Ramon Marcus Perez.
His girlfriend, 35-year-old Holly Ann Yonkovic, is also charged in the case. Karla Kelly lives across the street from the couple in Ossian. "It's really sad. It's like a gut-wrenching sad, but mad kind of day," Kelly says. "We knew something was going on, like 'oh my gosh, something is finally being done.'"
Janet Monroe also lives across the street from Estrada and Yonkovic, who has children. Monroe says neighbors repeatedly contacted authorities about suspicious activity at the house. "Holly had been our neighbor here for three years, and so we got to know the kids and I feel sad and I feel very upset. I feel that this could have been prevented," Monroe said.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 11, 2007 Regardless of what's happening in terms of recruitment, soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines already serving are reenlisting at rates that surpass all expectations, according to defense officials.
Defense Department statistics for June, released yesterday, showed the Army missed its active-duty recruiting goal for the second consecutive month. Yet retention remained high across the board, 101 percent of goal for the active Army, 119 percent for the Army Reserve, and 107 percent for the Army National Guard, Maj. Anne Edgecomb, an Army spokeswoman, told American Forces Press Service.
"Recruiting is important, but so is retention," Bryan Whitman, deputy assistant secretary for public affairs, told Pentagon reporters today.
He said high retention rates help offset shortfalls on the recruiting side, particularly in light of the fact that the Army is ahead of its year-to-date recruiting goals. "Retention, to some degree, has been a mitigating factor because we have had very good retention rates and they have exceeded retention goals," Whitman said.
Of particular interest, he said, are high retention rates among troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Last week, for example, 588 deployed soldiers reenlisted during a Fourth of July ceremony at Baghdad's Al Faw Palace. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of Multinational Force Iraq, administered the oath of reenlistment.
The same day north of Baghdad at Camp Taji, the 1st Cavalry Division's 1st "Ironhorse" Brigade Combat Team marked its 700th reenlistment during its current Iraqi deployment. Army Spc. Jason Fuduloff, a supply specialist from Battery B, 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery, raised his hand to reenlist for the third time, this time for four years.
Two days later, at Contingency Operating Base Speicher, Army Sgt. Christopher Flindee became the 200th soldier from the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade's 209th Aviation Support Battalion to reenlist since its deployment.
In Taqaddum on July 2, Marine Sgt. Cyril Enos became the 33rd member of 2nd Marine Logistics Group to reenlist since the unit deployed six months ago. Ten of his fellow Marines were waiting for their paperwork to be processed so they, too, could reenlist.
These servicemembers recognize the challenges of military service, particularly in a combat zone, Petraeus noted during the Independence Day reenlistment ceremony.
Just three weeks earlier, Army Pfc. Daniel Weber proved that fact when the Humvee he'd hitched a ride on so he could reenlist at Forward Operating Base Marez hit a roadside bomb. Just hours after the blast blew Weber from the vehicle, the 1st Cavalry Division soldier, who serves with 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Division, went ahead with his reenlistment plans.
"I was planning on reenlisting that day for a while now," he said. "Why should I let something like this change my mind?" After all, Weber told his sergeant, "I want to re-up to get the guys that did this."
Troops choose to reenlist for a wide range of reasons, said Army Sgt. 1st Class Brian Helgren, career counselor for 15th Sustainment Brigade at Camp Taji. Some stay for personal reasons or to continue a family tradition.
Some are enticed by retention bonuses, although Petraeus noted during the Independence Day reenlistment ceremony that money alone isn't the reason.
"No bonus, no matter the size, can adequately compensate you for the contribution each of you has made and continues to make as a custodian of our nation's defenses," he told the group. "Nor can any amount of money compensate you adequately for the sacrifices you make serving here in Iraq or the burdens your loved ones face at home in your absence. And we certainly cannot put a price on the freedoms you defend or those we are trying to help the Iraqis establish and safeguard here in the land of the two rivers."
Helgren said some troops choose to reenlist because they can't imagine doing anything else.
"(The) bottom line is that soldiers love just serving their country and being in the Army, therefore making the Army a career," he said.
Fuduloff, for example, said he reenlisted because he always knew he wanted to be a career soldier and believes in the Army's mission in Iraq. "It's an honor being here and being able to show my support and dedication to the cause," he said.
(Information gathered by Army Pfc. Bradley J. Clark from 1st Cavalry Division, Spc. Karly Cooper from 13th Sustainment Brigade, and Spc. Bryanna Poulin from 209th Aviation Support Battalion, Marine Sgt. Jess Kent from Multinational Corps Iraq, and Marine Corps News Service was incorporated into this story.)

App Review: Super Monkey Ball!
A super... a monkey... a ball. A Super... a Monkey... a Ball. These are not three different games!
Does the above phrasing sound familiar? Steve Jobs used this same kind of phrasing when first introducing the iPhone waaaaaaaay back in January 2007. Much has happened since then! We finally have the iPhone 3G and, even more importantly (in my opinion), we have iPhone 2.0 and the Apps Store!
You may have heard of a little game called Super Monkey Ball from SEGA? It's only just the top app at the iTunes App Store. It's only $9.99. We got a taste of it several months ago at the last WWDC during the keynote and there has been salivation, hand-wringing and garment-rending ever since. Finally, with the release of iPhone 2.0 and the App Store last week, the venerable Super Monkey Ball is available for download from the iTunes App Store via your desktop or right to your iPhone.
Does it measure up to the hype? The answer is --- (suspense killing ya?) Full review is a click away!
In a word --- YES. Super Monkey Ball delivers with respect to showcasing the capabilities of the iPhone; accelerometer tilt-control, large luscious touchscreen, and processing power to handle the impressive 3-D graphics, physics of gameplay, and sound.
Super Monkey Ball is fairly straight-forward. I have NO experience whatsoever with the previous versions of this game. In fact, until El Jobso showcased it a few months ago, I'd never heard of it. Fortunately, it's easy to catch on to the gist of the game. Simply put, you control a monkey inside a transparent sphere and roll it/him/her around the game area, which is suspended high above empty space. If you fall off the playing area, or "Fall Out", you lose a life. Once all lives are expended, the game is over. The objective is to gather up all the bananas you can within the time limit and then pass through the "goal" -- a circular portal reminiscent of a "stargate" from the same-titled movie.
Sounds easy enough, right?
The Looks
As you can judge by the screenshots I took on my iPhone (thanks again to the 2.0 update!), the world of Super Monkey Ball is lavish with color and creativity. It is truly a visually stunning environment and offers some of the best graphics you'll find on a portable gaming device, much less a mobile phone.
There are a total of 5 worlds and 110 stages to play through, including bonus stages for the opportunity to grab a ton of bananas which, consequently, give you bonus lives. Each world has two sets of 10 stages, an Easy set and a Hard set. Once you complete a set of 10 stages (a bonus stage sandwiched right in the middle of each set of 10), you will advance to the next set of 10 stages. So, in each world, there is an "Easy" set of 10 stages and a "Hard" set of 10 stages, plus two bonus stages solely for accumulating extra bananas and extra lives.
If it weren't hard enough to navigate that darned little monkey in the ball (more on that later), you have the pressure of a ticking clock to reach the goal at the end of the stage. If time expires, you have to start the stage all over again. If you "fall out", you also have to start the stage again.
During gameplay, you get to enjoy rousing music and the squeaks and squeals of your monkey as it/he/she reacts to your control. Each stage is creatively designed and presents unique challenges along the way.
The Feel
When you start Super Monkey Ball, you get to select the game Mode (Main Game, Instant Play, Practice, Ranking, and Options). Instant Play drops you right into the action with a randomly-selected level that you've already completed. Selecting the Main Game will start you from the beginning, where first you select from four different character monkeys (each with their own personalities/sounds), then on to World Select where you can choose from the five different worlds. If you are just beginning, the only world you can select is the first one, Monkey Island, and not until you complete the stages in a particular world do you unlock the next one.
Moving a monkey around in a ball seems simple enough, but the first few minutes (maybe hours for some -- right, Dieter?) will be absolute pandemonium (that monkey ball seems more slippery than a politician dipped in baby oil on ice skates). It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of the physics and control-by-tilt, compliments of the iPhone's accelerometer. This method of controlling the game proves to be quite innovative and fun, actually. If you persevere, you will find that you develop a "touch" for controlling your monkey ball. Tilting the iPhone up toward you will slow down the rolling, left and right is self-explanatory, and tilting the screen forward increases the forward speed. Some levels allow for some excessive monkey ball speeding, and some require an extraordinary amount of finesse and careful tilting.
Tilting the iPhone can be frustrating for some -- I've heard criticisms that so much tilting hinders the ability to see what you are doing, but I haven't really noticed this to be the case for me. The greatest criticisms I have of the game are two-fold and really have nothing to do with the look or feel of the game. First, there is no way to manually save a game. In order to save your progress, you have to complete a set of 10 stages, period. Second (and this is related to the first concern), Super Monkey Ball does not handle phone or text interruptions well. If you get a phone call or text, the game will pause and allow you the choice of taking the call or text or ignoring it. If you ignore, then you can resume your game where you left off. If you take the call or text, your game is doomed and you must start over with the set of 10 stages you last began. It's too bad that an auto-save feature isn't included so that you can pick up precisely where you left off.
Despite the inability to manually save your progress or continue where you left off after answering a call or text, Super Monkey Ball is a must-have app and is well worth the $9.99 price tag. Playability is fantastic and the graphics are top-notch. The game's number one spot at the App Store is well-deserved and it's a game that can be enjoyed by all ages. It's a pleasure for me to give it a 5 across the board (out of 5, of course!). Download it via the App Store on your iPhone or head over to the iTunes App Store today and get it immediately!

App Review: Super Monkey Ball!
Sorry TiPB, but I have to disagree. This game looks great, sounds great, and I was really happy to buy it, but the controls ARE A NIGHTMARE. Seriously, it's unplayable once you get to the harder levels without the bumpers. I hope they release an update that makes the controls a little less sensitive.
I. Want. Sonic. Touch. Now. Plz.
I think alot of people expect this to be an easy game to play. The controls are just fine. They are just really sensative. and it's THAT way on purpose.
Most people easily forget this is a MOMENTUM based ball you are moving around.
It's not going to be 100% responsive for a reason. It's a ball.. and you need to move it with momentum.
That's why it's really sensitive.
I've seen people pick this up and try it out and they're hands are moving around all over the place.
Just ease up.. calm down, and take it slow. It's actually pretty easy to play then.
So far, I've made it to the 3rd world. @HexGhost: I DO feel your pain! :) In my experience, it just takes some time to get the "touch" (no pun intended) for balancing that monkey. I've learned to really slow it down to a crawl to maneuver in the tricky spots ;)
"for balancing that monkey"
sorry man... it's friday.. i just had to.... LOL!!!
So far, I only have Trism and SMB on my iPhone. I'd much rather have bought only Trism. SMB is fun with your friends on a GameCube (or Wii, but I'm not cool enough to have a wii yet) but I found it to be the kind of game that I'll just never sit down and play on my iPhone.
On the other hand, I could play Trism for hours. If Q! ever makes Lumines for the iPhone, I'm sunk.
you know what i would love to see? Some sort of ONLINE type of Civ/ or Travian like RPG map/style conquest game. Where you make your moves etc etc. but on a mass player scale. Anyone ever play Travian before? Imagine that being an App... =)
@mss0138: Yup, it crashed every time for me until I deleted it from the iPhone, did an iPhone restart, and then re-installed from iTunes. Crashed a couple times since then, but iPhone restarts fix it.
Hopefully 2.0.1 and Monkey Ball 1.1 will fix this...
I just purchased the game today on my new iPhone.This is so amazing.I was a bit concerned finding that the monkey ( each one of them ) is has slipery feet but it seems that's the challenge to strike balance on the iPhone's sensitive accelerometer.This blog helps....it seems I have company.
Restart/reset/reboot your iPhone. (Hold down the sleep button until you get the red slider, confirm shutdown, wait a few seconds, then hold down the button again to reboot).
I have to do this every once and a while to get Monkey Ball to stop crashing :(
I truly wanted to make a quick note to be able to express gratitude to you for all of the wonderful ways you are writing on this website. My considerable internet search has now been paid with reputable tips to go over with my classmates and friends. I would assert that we readers are truly fortunate to be in a really good site with very many awesome professionals with insightful hints.

FX 5200 + Debian Etch won't work for me.

FX 5200 + Debian Etch won't work for me.
I've read through the log I created and that will tell you everything about my system but please ignore the XFree86 sections because I'm now using Xorg.
I had a GeForce4 440MX installed initially under Debian Sarge, which worked well. I upgraded to Etch and used Hakix 1.0 to reinstall the drivers and Beryl and once again all was well, but I was finding Bery was too slow for regular use with that card so bought a slightly better FX 5200 and then my problems started.
First thing I noticed was that the initial boot kernel parameter VGA=775 (for my 1280x1024 TFT monitor) wasn't recognised. This is an annoyance, albeit minor.
First thing I tried on booting was startx, assuming the same drivers would work. I was wrong so I reinstalled using Hakix 1.0 again. This failed.
Then I tried with the nVidia proprietary drivers. The installer ran flawlessly but when I tried to startx (into KDE) it'd get as far as "Loading the Desktop" then everything would slow to a crawl as Xorg started eating CPU time. I could ssh in to stop the desktop manager most of the time but occasionally it'd be so bad that Xorg just wouldn't stop and a reboot would be required.
I've tried many changes to Xorg.conf and checked for conflicting libraries, and followed advice from elsewhere. The current log is with GLcore and dri Modules commented out, and this just wouldn't load the X Server at all.
I've tried Gnome, which loads, but as soon as I try any GL application it goes into crawl mode (Beryl has the habit of causing the total lockout).
My bug log is attached, can anyone help please?

Our favorite sullen, raccoon-eyed punching bag is back! Taylor Momsen attended the Material Girl clothing launch with Madonna and Lourdes Leon last night, and despite being in the presence of one of the world's most famous women, she still couldn't be bothered to smile. And what's worse, her bitchface seems to be rubbing off on Lourdes, who also never cracked a smile. Nooo! You can grimace all you want, Taylor, but you can't have our Lourdes!
Our favorite pic might be the one where Taylor – in what has to be the dictionary definition of "begrudgingly" – waves to the camera. "Must! Lift! Arm! And! Wave! Oh f*ck it, forget it."

Out & About: Halloween happenings, roots music happens
Treats only. No tricks. That's what's in store this weekend when Friends of the Kotzschmar Organ and Portland Ballet celebrate Halloween with their own special happenings. The former is planning a screening of the silent film "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" at Merrill Auditorium, accompanied by Scott Foppiano on the mighty Kotzschmar Memorial Organ.
The latter is planning a Halloween "Spooktacular," an afternoon of terpsichorean treats choreographed by Nell Shipman and performed by members of the company.
Let's look at a pair of happenings in Portland with a common theme of North American roots music, hosted by One Longfellow Square. The James Montgomery Blues Band is the headliner on Oct. 30 and Le Vent du Nord, a folk foursome from Quebec, visits Nov. 6.
Friends of the Kotzschmar Organ
Every year around Halloween, the Friends of the Kotzschmar Organ screen an old-time silent horror film with an appropriately scary musical accompaniment performed by a nationally known keyboard artist.
This year's FOKO program, scheduled for Oct. 30, revolves around "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," a film based on the famous 19th-century novelette by Robert Louis Stevenson. The familiar plot is a classic: A brilliant English physician experiments with powerful chemical potions that unleash his dreadful alter ego, a murderous fiend who haunts and terrorizes London's nether world.
This year's accompanist is Scott Foppiano, who hails from Memphis, Tenn., and has been playing theater organs for two-plus decades. Foppiano boasts much experience as a concert recitalist, silent film accompanist and recording artist. He's got four solo CDs to his credit, with another currently in the works.
The Kotzschmar Memorial Organ is one of the artistic gems of Maine and one of our state's mechanical wonders, boasting more than 6,800 pipes and over a hundred miles of electrical wiring. The Mighty Kotzschmar has been a fixture of Merrill Auditorium at Portland City Hall since 1912. For the past two decades it's been maintained by FOKO. The group is also responsible for a number of programs that showcase the huge instrument.
WMTW television newscaster Shannon Moss will host the evening. Costume parade is scheduled for 7 p.m. with the silent film screening at 7:30. Call PortTix at 842-0800.
'Halloween Spooktacular'
"Vicious," "Savage," "Appalling," "Cadaverous," "Beastly," "Sinister" and "Monstrous." Those are some of the stage names adopted for Saturday by the dancers of Portland Ballet. The occasion is Portland Ballet's annual "Halloween Spooktacular," an afternoon of terpsichorean treats that's choreographed by "Nasty" Nell Shipman and performed by members of the company.
Shipman is Portland Ballet's resident choreographer as well as a principal dancer and instructor. She's created six pieces for Saturday's performance.
Musical selections for the "creepy concert" include works by Dmitri Shostakovich, Hector Berlioz, Giacomo Puccini and others. Spooky-themed pieces include "Night of the Living Dolls," "Love at First Bite" (about vampires), "Danse Macabre" and others.
Dancers from Portland Ballet Company and Portland Ballet's C.O.R.P.S. program will show off their scarier sides in "cadaverous" costumes. C.O.R.P.S. is a pre-professional program for dancers of high school age, and includes Portland Ballet's top talents.
Portland Ballet was founded in 1980 by Eugenia O'Brien, who still serves as the company's artistic director – and a mainstay of Maine's cultural scene.
All ages are encouraged to attend the concert and to come in costume. A costume parade will be held during intermission.
Portland Ballet's "Halloween Spooktacular" is scheduled for 2 p.m. Oct. 31 at John Ford Auditorium at Portland High School, 284 Cumberland Ave. Call Portland Ballet at 772-9671.
James Montgomery Blues Band
One Longfellow Square is the venue for two upcoming acts that epitomize the roots movement in music. First up is this Friday, when the James Montgomery Blues Band visits the intimate little concert hall, getting top billing in an evening described as a "Blues Extravaganza."
Montgomery, a native of Detroit and longtime resident of Rhode Island, has been playing and recording Chicago-style blues since high school. He's best known for playing the harmonica ("harp") and for collaborations and tours with the Allman Brothers, James Cotton and B.B. King. He's even given a harp lesson to Mick Jagger of Rolling Stones fame.
Jim Taricani, writer for Rhode Island Monthly, explains Montgomery's appeal in live concerts: "His voice is clear and gutsy. His on-stage personality is engaging. His eye contact with audience members reminds you of the great nightclub performers, singers such as Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett who make you feel as if they're singing only for you. When Montgomery is blasting a solo on the harp, you can almost see him enter that other level of being. His eyes close, his hands are tightly wound around the harmonica that is pressed against a microphone that is touching his lips."
Catch the James Montgomery Blues Band and the "Blues Extravaganza" at 8 p.m. Oct. 30 at One Longfellow Square (corner of Congress and State) in Portland. Call 761-1757.
Le Vent du Nord
Le Vent du Nord is a four-man band from Canada that's made its mark as a champion of the traditional Quebecois-Acadian folk style – with appropriate modern twists. Formed in 2002, Le Vent du Nord has recorded five CDs, including a 2004 Juno Award-winner and another which copped top honors at the 2005 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
"La Part du Feu" is the most recent, released earlier this month. The band is currently supporting that CD with a long North American tour that motors through the Port City Nov. 6, stopping at One Longfellow Square.
The four guys perform on a number of instruments with remarkable virtuosity and fluidity. Their instruments include an electronic keyboard and bass, but Le Vent du Nord notably excludes a big drum kit. Most songs are performed in French. Although rooted in traditional French-Canadian styles, Le Vent du Nord occasionally ventures a bit farther afield, sometimes showing influences of jazz, country and Celtic.
"They are well grounded by heritage and experience in the music of French Canada and ready to make that music in a way that speaks to modern day." writes Kerry Dexter in Dirty Linen, folk music's monthly bible. "All in all, it's a wild ride through the energy of French-Canadian music, with just enough of the quieter side of things to catch your breath and prepare you for the next round of flying fiddle notes, hurdy-gurdy circles, and stories in song."
Catch Le Vent du Nord at One Longfellow Square (corner of Congress and State) in Portland at 8 p.m. Nov. 6. Call 761-1757.

23 of the larger settlements in Hampshire have been subject to assessment. Each Townscape Assessment is made up of Townscape Character Areas and Townscape Types. Townscape Character Areas are geographically unique areas of a town, and Townscape Types are generic and can occur in different parts of the town. Townscape Character Areas are likely to reflect a high degree of consistency of factors such as layout, vegetation and building type, but be unique in terms of their location. It can also be the case that a Townscape Character Area contains a high degree of small-scale variation and diversity and it is that which creates a strong sense of place.

How can I print at the public computers and campus printers?
Pharos is the name of the printing system that runs the CUMC campus printers. If you have a Columbia email account (UNI) you can select File - Print from any public computer to send your document to a Pharos print queue:
If you would like to print to Pharos from your own computer,
you can configure if for Pharos by following the instructions linked on the How to Use Pharos web site.
How can I get the free page quota? How do I know if I'm entitled to the free page quota?
If you are currently enrolled in classes on the Medical Center campus and
are not affiliated (enrolled in a program) with Morningside as well, you automatically receive a printing quota for use at the Medical
Center Library when you establish your Columbia email account. If you experience problems with your printing quota please contact the
CUMC IT Service Desk.
When do I get my page quota? How many pages do I get?
Page quotas run per semester; you receive 1000 pages per semester. Unused pages do not carry over into the next semester.
You must be enrolled in
classes for the current semester to receive printing pages. If you are
in a program on the Morningside campus, your semester's print quota may
only be available there.
Fall and Spring Calendar
How can I check my page quota?
When you log in to any Pharos printer terminal or touch panel, your current quota is displayed in remaining pages.
What if I need more pages?
Pages can be purchased at the Service Desk or Photocopy Center located on the 2nd floor of the Hammer building. These purchased pages remain on your account until they are used.
Can I print double-sided?
All of the Pharos printers except for the color laserjet print double-sided from Windows by default; Mac systems usually use the previous print job's settings. To change either you must bring up the full Print options window (select File - Print from the upper left menu of the program you're using) and adjust the settings as desired. When printing double-sided you should select long edge for portrait oriented pages and short edge for landscape oriented.
Windows: select the Properties button in the Print window. Then select the Layout tab and change options under the Print on Both Sides drop down menu.
Macintosh: select the Layout option in the middle of the Print window (you may need to click the Show Details button in the lower left first), then your desired option from the Two-Sided drop down menu in the lower right.
How can I save paper when I print?
See tips on the Green Computing page.
Can I use labels, transparencies or other special types of paper in the Pharos printers?
Labels, transparencies and other special types of paper cannot be used in the Pharos printers. The Photocopy Center located on Hammer building 2nd floor can assist you with printing on non-standard paper.

My song
was filled
with ecstasy,
when together
was you and I
The words
that sang
within my heart,
made birds sing
in the sky
The chords
were set within
my song, in their
spots so deep
The beat
moved in a
soothing way,
that made my
song so sweet
But then
my song
made quite a
change, with you
and I apart
The beats
and chords
within my song,
upped and left
my heart
The lyrics
were gone,
completely stopped,
my melody gone
My song
was changed
to a simple tune,
when you left
on that day

This report is dedicated to Dr. Jane Knitzer, Ed.D., who served as a member of this project's committee until she passed away on March 29, 2009. Dr. Knitzer was a long-time advocate for children's mental health, child welfare, and early childhood, adding tremendous value over her lifetime to the work of The National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, Cornell University, New York University, and Bank Street College of Education. Dr. Knitzer influenced many individuals and communities through her advocacy and impact on public policies for America's most vulnerable children, youth, and families.
Dr. Knitzer was an extremely committed activist, scholar, and moral leader. She provided inspiration and guidance through her work, through her extraordinary mentorship of several generations of those who worked in many diverse roles with children, youth, and their families and through her absolute insistence that children and their families deserve justice and fairness above all. Her keen instincts on policy led researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and parents alike to resonate with her message for improving the lives of children and their families based on research-informed strategies and interventions. She particularly brought to our attention the need to attend to those who had the highest risk: children in poverty, children afflicted by violence, those in vulnerable situations, and children whose parents suffered from mental illness and related adversities. She truly helped make invisible children visible and demanded that we attend to their needs. Above all Dr. Knitzer was dedicated to highlighting the need to invest in America's youngest children, demanding that as a nation we give children and their families the best start possible irrespective of their life circumstances.
Jane Knitzer was indomitable in her cause, which was the cause of the most vulnerable among us, and she never wavered in her pursuit of what was best for children and families. Her insights and scholarship guided the deliberations and content of this report, and we dedicate it to her memory.

Grab video code:
Sam Norman: Toys are widely important part of child it stimulating with physical skills and the development of creative imagination. And your house is probably bursting and it seems with them but now thanks to companies like pin toys then I'll not only effectively pleasing but environmentally friendly too, So I would like to welcome Anthony King co founder of John Crane limited a company based in North Hampton, which distributes pin toys and baby products, Anthony welcome to the studio how did pin toys come about.
Anthony King: Well, pin toys was established in Thailand, I think the company is probably about 25 years old, we John met them first of all when he was on the trip out there, and it was when we realize that -- a couple of who were selling toys in bulk in containers to there is larger customers in UK, we went at last very long because those companies were sending their in buyers up to far east, so we were looking for needs to concentrate in and we had some experience with wood already, and pin toys very much foot at the bill and had some lovely product, and
Sam Norman: What's behind it, they look -- white pin toys why woods?
Anthony King: Well, woods are lovely natural product, If you go back little far enough I think all children played with wooden toys or toys of their own creation, and this always been a demand for it, its fold in a way with introduce introduction of plastic, but its back to nature that the product are made from environmentally friendly, with an environmentally friendly product and rubber wood which starts life as a rubber tree, oozing latex which then goes off to the rubber industries of the world after about 25 years the tree looses it's capacity to yield the right rate so they use to be just felt and burned, but if they are dried carefully and treated properly they make much wonderful raw material for kitchen product and especially toys.
Sam Norman: And these are from sustain replenishable forest something
Anthony King: Oh yes, absolutely yes yeah, I mean that the big plantation people are have a contour growing program the whole time and when a plantation is fell disease replant it.
Sam Norman: Are you more expensive than other companies?
Anthony King: Yes, well the products are when we you know when we like to think that just about the best wooden products available in the UK, so we are slightly more expensive, we concentrate on an each market, a lots of our ideas will probably end up being sold in what we called main stream toys in the big history names, but some we cant live with that so we will drop that and we will move on John and his Wife are particularly strong in the innovation and looking for a new toys or variation on a thing, and so we keep introducing new product and so that's new and fresh and people move on to that,
Sam Norman: And John is your business partner.
Anthony King: Yeah John is the Managing Director of the Company, John Crane, that's right, yeah.
Sam Norman: Now let's have a look I mean they are very beautiful these toys and they would look its absolutely fantastic, and so I mean this is a very traditional sort of toys isn't.
Anthony King: Yes, this is an activity train, basically you got 3 connective in 2 coaches we add a little bit of play value switch that attach bar toggle this is got a little mirror, and its Velcro catch and when out the toy to have pull it --
Sam Norman: You have been big for these I think.
Anthony King: And then you have also got this little bead frames and bead characters which you have it in that side.
Sam Norman: Very cute, and this sort of thing you wouldn't mind having around the house outside.
Anthony King: That absolutely I mean, decoratively its very --
Sam Norman: Exactly yeah.
Anthony King: In this lots of play value in children put it away and they can come back to it, if you look at this little rattle on this side, I gave on these to my grandson and it was very definitely his favorite toy he get to get this little fingers around, and when it began it made a noise he could suck it, and then as he grow older and more like a little boy it became a mess all.
Sam Norman: So which his mommy was pleased.
Anthony King: And like wise these little hand rattles that's something for the child prefer to and it's sound and color which appears to the children.
Sam Norman: Is there any scientific proof that wood is better, for development than plastic.
Anthony King: No I don't think so I think its mis static its a personal choice and I think because wood is not mainstream known it must to be different, so people buy wooden toys.
Sam Norman: But are we going back to that is that not I would.
Anthony King: And there I think that wood is enjoying a -- at the moment absolutely but who knows in to five, six years time there may be a new, new raw material and people will move on to that, but they will also be a demand for wooden toys, if you get in to a what we call miniature play things like dolls houses, and well a boys toys also get fast station when the trains set or something like that, is the capabilities of the that the toys are very similar to those.
Sam Norman: And you do those as well, you do the dolls houses.
Anthony King: We do dolls houses we do, fire stations very popular one, we do a long life range, which is a jungle lodge with about 7 or 8 different pairs of animals and trees and everything in it and that's very good.
Sam Norman: Even I would like one of those, they were in wood,
Anthony King: In wood yes, and the giraffes and well all the animals have little fabric jackets, so we make it to winter, but you gets the cold out of here they have the jackets on there but again its an extra
Sam Norman: A coat is yeah exactly.
Anthony King: Value as far as place concern they can be taken off raw material,
Sam Norman: And this is for Pre School.
Anthony King: Yes, you know we the wooden toys we start well if with these rattles its more or less from birth but we don't have that many rattles and teethers so we thus a bit of the gap between birth and up to about 2-3 years, I mean anything to do with dolls house or we can even have small pups, so you got a parental supervision and that's were the plastic range of we do the toddler toys, comes in to so there is also.
Sam Norman: Some plastic
Anthony King: And we do that and we start to doing some plastic at last year it's the toddler range which is very popular and it's a high quality range.
Sam Norman: Now I can see that.
Anthony King: And it's got some very nice product and they do plastic amplug.
Sam Norman: And very colorful
Anthony King: Very, very colorful yes
Sam Norman: And that little chain thing on the floor that's cute.
Anthony King: Well, actually that one I got awarded this year's good toy awards watch which I was awarded back 2 months ago, and there is, this is a little bit of electronic involved.
Sam Norman: And let me see
Anthony King: And you press down the drivers head and it lights up and it start vibrate then it will travel away from the child for about a meter, meter and a half.
Sam Norman: Yeah
Anthony King: And correctly child will crawl up to it and then.
Sam Norman: And start to lay it again and drive as --
Anthony King: And then it stops.
Sam Norman: Do you have an, oh wow a kid
Anthony King: And I never know whether it's run over taken that's all in child laughing.
Sam Norman: Yes exactly, do you have good feed back from the parents?
Anthony King: Oh yes, we get a lots of letters and complementing us on the toys, sometimes making suggestions for improvement which we always welcome, and yes its very nice to get a feed back and then every now and again I'm afraid it is, it's the world we live in I don't like this because such and such fell affords cut cracked in it and going back to the wood if you are dealing with wooden products its I'm afraid, a possibility can happen, but we are up righted very consumer friendly replacement policy and.
Sam Norman: And you've won a of awards haven't you?
Anthony King: Yes, we do we have well, we like to think that with pin toys and with toddler we have got to very innovative companies we help particularly with pin and we have a wish list which we get them every year and we actually do and provide some designers in the UK and we will fly them out of the factory and they can work with the factory there, but they have a very active development, and on the company act department there is all.
Sam Norman: And presumably they are very stringed and develop health and safety I mean so hall mark so.
Anthony King: Absolutely wrong, you know I mean old toys that com in to Europe have to confirm to the European safety regulations and we carry adults here, at Thailand all the products that come in we have test certificates and any customer buys from us as putting time for ask for this, absolutely and then pin toys on top of that, have received an award from the toy Government for their contribution to the environmental friendliness of their activities, and that there is a logo on all their boxes which signifies that's been order to them.
Sam Norman: Which is your particular favorite?
Anthony King: Well, because I'm slightly bigger than the baby market, I just love the fire station and the fire engine and then the fire fighters and so on.
Sam Norman: It's a shame we have when its bring one in, and never mind.
Anthony King: But you know that, there is offered children are suppose to babies.
Sam Norman: And what are the best sellers?
Anthony King: Well, very basic things like the hammer bench, If you take this hammer bench and here we go.
Sam Norman: What's that is fallen down.
Anthony King: That's the clock that is fallen down but it hammering thing, all children love hammering in that, and then If you just then don't come after this which because they got a gasket in them If you turn them over and then they can go back the other way, and you can tell which one certain colors which one to move back first so there is always an educational element and thing.
Sam Norman: And what about the future where you are going to go with this to think?
Anthony King: Well we have got kick and if you want, if you want to stay life we got to keep designing new toys or a variations on all themes, we look for new markets a lot of these wooden toys are now because as a scientist changing and you got day care nursery's and things like that, a lots of these end up as a intake in nursery's and so the educational market as we quote it are always looking for opportunities there and a lot of these toys are in educational catalogs and being offered to those day care centers and nursery's etcetera, etcetera.
Sam Norman: As this be must be a very rarefy market mustn't it there's a lot of hand me downs and.
Anthony King: Yes well you know I think a lot of these toys having high degree of longevity.
Sam Norman: Well exactly shooting shells on the foot on you making them.
Anthony King: In a way yes, that's why we have to keep designing new ones.
Sam Norman: Best of luck for the future, thank you very much, and I think they are very beautiful.
Anthony King: Thank you very much good.

The report of a missing domesticated mountain lion from Aquarium Pets on Richland Avenue West has been determined to be false, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Aiken Public Safety stated in a press release that investigators have found that the entire story was fabricated. The report was made Sunday afternoon by someone claiming that a declawed mountain lion weighing approximately 100 pounds, standing about three feet tall and last seen wearing a dog harness was missing.
At this time there is no indication as to why the original complainant fabricated the story, the release read. The search for the missing mountain lion has now turned into a criminal investigation pertaining to the filing of a false police report.
The Aiken Standard will have more on this story in its Monday edition.

St. Cloud Community/Senior Centers
(Activities and events run by seniors but open to all ages)
Members of clubs and event attendees- we have a great senior center with activities run by seniors. Make a resolution to bring a friend or two to your event or dance. They will love it!
The SCSCCI Board of Directors approved a new occupancy agreement for use of the facilities with the City of St. Cloud at the March meeting. The two most important changes in the agreement are that anyone participating in senior defined activities at the center must have a signed waiver of file, and must have paid a $10 membership fee. Both the waiver signing and the fee are to be renewed annually. The city will issue photo ID cards to all who have signed and paid. A visitor is defined as someone who has not attended more than three activities or events at the center. The waiver must be signed for all events and activities. The fee is due on the 4th event or activity.
Other changes will include assignment of more office space for city use, and use of the building for outside rentals over time. Eventually the buildings will be rekeyed, all use will require a city employee in attendance.
Effective April 21, 2015 both A and B Halls will be closed for floor resurfacing. A Hall will reopen Wednesday May 6, 2015; B Hall will reopen on Wednesday April 29, 2015.
A new officer slate of officers had been elected and inducted. They are John Dutt-President, John McMahon-1st Vice President, Paul Kurek-2nd Vice President, Karen Amato-Treasurer, Shirley Palfy-Secretary, Kiyoko Augustin-(appointed) Parliamentarian and Lynda Fosnaugh-(Elected) Communications Director. A new brochure has been printed and is available in the reception area.
