Without a declaration of war from Congress or any constitutional authority whatsoever, the Obama administration is reportedly preparing to openly send lethal weapons to so-called "rebels" in Syria seeking to overthrow the regime. The president plans to start sending arms while simultaneously pursuing "political negotiation" in the operation to oust dictator Bashar al-Assad, according to news reports citing "senior administration officials." The White House is also seeking to assert "more aggressive U.S. leadership" in the battle against Syrian authorities, potentially including overt military intervention.
The Washington Post reported this week that in addition to preparing weapons shipments to Syrian opposition forces, Obama is also working to convince other governments — especially Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, who along with the dictatorships ruling Iran and China has been supporting Assad — to finally back the international "regime-change" plot. Dubious allegations of chemical weapons deployment are apparently at the center of the new scheme to get other governments onboard.
Obama hopes to "mobilize the international community to support" installing a new regime in Syria, he said at a news conference. It was not immediately clear whether he plans to mobilize support from Congress to declare war as required by the U.S. Constitution. The president also claimed that it was not yet known to the administration if Assad had really deployed weapons of mass destruction, apparently an effort to make the administration seem somewhat responsible amid the chaos it has sown.
Quoting unnamed "officials," the Post reported that the White House planned to make a "final decision" about openly sending arms to "rebels" within weeks — presumably after Secretary of State John Kerry returns from Moscow. "We're clearly on an upward trajectory," a senior White House official reportedly told the paper. "We've moved over to assistance that has a direct military purpose."
The anonymous "senior officials" using the newspaper to publicize information the administration wanted published also described Obama as "ready to move" on what one "source" described as the "left-hand side" of a broad spectrum of options ranging from "arming the opposition to boots on the ground." One of several "senior officials" who spoke to the paper also said Obama has "not closed the door to other military actions," apparently a reference to overtly putting American troops in Syria or at least using military air strikes to create a "no-fly zone" benefiting the "rebels," as happened in Libya.

Brother Dege is getting ready to ride back into town and he is headed back to The Blues Breakdown with yours truly, "The Problem Child".
Lloyd Harris, Jr. has been music educator for fifty years in the New Orleans area. He is a member of Louisiana Music Educator's Hall of Fame, winner of the New Orleans Public School teaching award, a composer, teacher, musician and someone who has left his mark on the music of New Orleans. To celebrate this long and storied career, friends have put together an anniversary celebration June 23.
A 1962 graduate of Xavier University, Harris has spent his entire career teaching young people. He has produced school band recordings at McDonough 35 and the Alfred Lawless Junior High. His awards are too numerous to mention here, but none of them would have been possible had it not been for his dedication to teaching the art of music to young people. Cynthia Alice Dolliole, a former student said, "Many students are indebted to Mr. Harris for getting us involved in the love of music and education. Thanks to him and my wonderful mother, I am a music educator today . " She is just one of thousands of students who have benefitted from Harris' skill, love and commitment over the years.
The music of New Orleans may be written by a number of recording and performing artists, but it is educators like Harris who help form and mold the lives of these musicians. Harris is one in a long line of New Orleans educators who have made the music of this area important to the city and American culture.
To celebrate this illustrious career his friends and former students are sponsoring this anniversary celebration at the Crystal Palace on Chef Hwy, June 23 at 7 p.m. Those interested in attending can get tickets by calling 504-239-9571 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Three stages and twenty-one bands are scheduled for the Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival, June 9-10 at the U.S. Mint. A special guest this year will be D.L. Menard, the eighty year-old Cajun music legend, will make his first appearance at the fest. C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band will also be making their first appearance at this event.
Those of us in New Orleans who are up on our Irish mythology might recognize 'Áine' as the name of the Irish goddess of summer, wealth and sovereignty, but those of us up on the Irish musicians playing in New Orleans might recognize Áine O' Doherty as the name of one of the newest, and best additions to our city's Celtic music tapestry.
Tune in to WWOZ Thursday morning as I celebrate one year hosting the Traditional Jazz Show.

Thursday's Traditional Jazz Show airs from 9-11AM, live music at 10:00, New Orleans time.
Tonight we celebrate!
Tonight we ride (in true radio style!)
Tonight at 10 PM we celebrate the 19th anniversary of maybe the most daring yet maybe the most idiotic thing WWOZ has ever done: Letting the Jazz Lunatique get in front of the microphone and play what he calls music for all the crazies who come out at night.

I was first introduced to beading when my mom had major surgery and we were looking for an artistic hobby that we could do together while she was on the mend, so we took a beginning beading class! Living with an artist, I had the opportunity to dabble in a lot of different mediums and crafts growing up, but once I started beading I couldn't stop! I simply loose track of time when I'm designing and creating jewelry. One of my favorite aspects of beading is that it is a very forgiving hobby. Unlike watercolor painting, if you make a mistake stitching with beads you can just take off the offending section and try again; and I've done plenty of that!
When I started out, I visited my local bead store so often that they eventually hired me! That was very fortunate for me because I learned even more while working there and after a while I started designing my own beading patterns and teaching adult beading classes. After a few years of struggling with the tough economy, the bead store eventually closed and I moved on to helping a neighbor who makes beautiful handmade quilts set up an Etsy shop so she could sell her quilts online. By helping my neighbor, I inadvertently saw how much fun it is to have an online shop and to be able to share your creations and interact with people all around the world! I soon opened my own shop and haven't looked back since!

Happy beading!

National Symposium
Docomomo US National Symposium
The Docomomo US National Symposium is the primary event in the United States for those interested in the preservation of modern architecture to gather, discuss, share and explore the preservation of heritage of the second half of the 20th Century and its legacy and importance today. The Symposium developed as a result of the Docomomo US Board of Directors' annual "Face to Face" meeting. The first expanded event took place in Los Angeles in 2010 with an open forum for local individuals actively engaged in the discussion of modern architecture. Docomomo US hosted its first National Symposium in Sarasota, Florida in April 2013. Held annually, this multi-day conference seeks to engage local participants in cities across the United States, offering participants the ability to interact with and explore a wide variety of significant modern architecture and sites.
National Symposium Objectives:
- To promote the value of modern architecture and to highlight its significance and attributes
- To provide a forum whereby participants can share their knowledge and experience in an effort to promote collaboration and best practices
- To bring together the Docomomo US Board of Directors, its chapters and friend organizations, national and local partner organizations as well as the general membership and local community
- To provide an engaging and educational experience for Docomomo US members and all those who attend
- To promote interaction and communication among the chapters, the Board of Directors and its staff
- To provide a platform for the host organization, its city and region for their commitment and contribution to the preservation of modern architecture
- To influence public opinion and increase positive attitudes of modern architecture and design
Docomomo US National Symposium 2015: Modernism on the Prairie
In 2015, Docomomo US and Docomomo US/Minnesota will launch the third annual Docomomo US National Symposium entitled Modernism on the Prairie: Rural to Metro Regional Interpretations of the Modern Movement. The three-and-a-half-day symposium seeks to celebrate and bring national attention to the unique cultural heritage, preservation and advocacy of significant modern architecture throughout the state of Minnesota. The symposium will include a multifaceted schedule of events featuring a panel discussion by leading minds in the fields of architecture and preservation on the regional interpretations of modernism in Minnesota and the greater Midwest, as well as peer reviewed presentations on the current issues facing modern architecture and cultural heritage preservation. Exclusive tours and networking events will highlight exceptional examples of modernism in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul area as well as those sites that may be endangered. As the only national event working to explore and build consensus on the preservation of modern architecture, the symposium will bring together world renowned designers, scholars, students and professionals from the state of Minnesota and from around the country.
More information on the Modernism on the Prairie National Symposium can be found on the symposium website: www.docomomo-us-symposium.com.

Under Wildwood (The Wildwood Chronicles #2)by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Ever since Prue McKeel returned home from the Impassable Wilderness after rescuing her brother from the malevolent Dowager Governess, life has been pretty dull. School holds no interest for her, and her new science teacher keeps getting on her case about her dismal test scores and daydreaming in class. Her mind is constantly returning to the verdant groves and sky-tall trees of Wildwood, where her friend Curtis still remains as a bandit-in-training.
But all is not well in that world. A hard winter has come and discord reigns in the wake of the so-called Bicycle Coup. Dark assassins with mysterious motives conspire to settle the scores of an unknown client. A titan of industry employs inmates from his orphanage to work in his machine shop, all the while obsessing over the exploitation of the Impassable Wilderness. Under a growing threat, Prue is drawn back into Wildwood, where she and Curtis will face their greatest challenge yet: to save themselves and the lives of their friends, and to bring unity to a divided country. But in order to do that, they must go under Wildwood.
In Under Wildwood, Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis reveal new dimensions of the epic fantasy-adventure series begun with the critically acclaimed, bestselling Wildwood.
"Droll and ornate, elegiac and romantic — the sequel to Wildwood (2011) brings readers deeper into and under the pine-scented, magical world tantalizingly close to Portland, Ore....The incomparable Ellis more than rises to the challenge — her sly, wistful, abundant illustrations provide an emotional through line." Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Colin Meloy once wrote Ray Bradbury a letter, informing him that he "considered himself an author too." He was ten. Since then, Colin has gone on to be the singer and songwriter for the band the Decemberists, where he channels all of his weird ideas into weird songs. With the Wildwood Chronicles, he is now channeling those ideas into novels.
As a kid, Carson Ellis loved exploring the woods, drawing, and nursing wounded animals back to health. As an adult, little has changed — except she is now the acclaimed illustrator of several books for children, including Lemony Snicket's The Composer is Dead, Dillweed's Revenge by Florence Parry Heide, and The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart.
Colin and Carson live with their son, Hank, in Portland, Oregon, quite near the Impassable Wilderness.

Celanese Simplifying its Brand Architecture
Published October 11, 2013
"Our vision represents Celanese's depth and breadth of industry and chemistry knowledge, the capabilities to innovate for our customers, the dedication to creating value, and a commitment to partnerships to help our customers succeed," said Mark Rohr, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe the phrase that best describes Celanese is 'The chemistry inside innovation'."
There are several changes Celanese is making to support this vision and to communicate its value proposition to customers. Beginning today, Celanese is launching a unified brand that represents the company's multiple businesses and capabilities.
Historically, Celanese was represented by separate businesses, including: Acetate Products, Acetyl Intermediates, Advanced Fuel Technologies, Clarifoil, Emulsion Polymers, EVA Performance Polymers, Nutrinova, and Ticona Engineering Polymers. Each of these names will fade and be replaced by Celanese.
"Going forward, everyone in Celanese, our world-class products, our process technologies and solutions from historical businesses will now be represented by one Celanese name," said Rohr.
Some of these products, solutions and technologies include:
cellulose derivatives such as Clarifoil and CelFX matrix technology;
emulsion polymers including EcoVAE, TruModa and Vinamul;
engineered materials such as Hostaform / Celcon POM, GUR UHMW-PE and Celstran® LFRT;
EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) polymer products including Ateva and VitalDose;
food ingredients including Sunett and the Qorus sweetener system; and
intermediate chemistry products and technologies such as AOPlus, VAntagePlus® and TCX Technology.
"The new Celanese brand reinforces the power of our global organization. The brand also speaks to our unwavering focus on the safety of our people, plants and products; our commitment to operations excellence; and the strength of Celanese's talented employees who collaborate with our customers to develop fresh solutions that solve their most critical needs," said Rohr.

|Bumgarner Victimized by Rockies
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 04 June 2011 22:10
Madison Bumgarner threw another gem Saturday against the Colorado Rockies.
Unfortunately, his teammates failed to give him any run support as Coloardo nipped San Francisco 2-1 Saturday afternoon at AT&T Park. Bumgarner, who falls to 2-7 on the year, went seven innings and gave up two runs, one earned, on seven hits, he walked one and struck out six.

I saw some very beautiful birds at Mingus Park. I especially love the Cayuga and Cayuga-hybrid ducks! Cayuga ducks are characterized by a black bill and black plumage which is an iridescent beetle green in the correct light and I have seen one of those at the park. Hybrids usually have mottled or yellow/black bills and yellow/orange feet as this one has. The Mute Swan isn't really mute...it will hissssss at you if you get too close without food! I wish the water in the pond wasn't so dirty so the swan's head and neck was white instead of gray.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. All federal agencies that provided grants of assistance are required to enforce the Title VI regulation.
The U.S. Department of Education gives grants of financial assistance to schools and colleges and to certain other entities, including vocational rehabilitation programs. The Title VI regulation describes the conduct that violates Title VI. Examples of discrimination covered by Title VI include racial harassment, school segregation, and denial of language services to national-origin-minority students who are limited in their English. The U.S. Department of Education Title VI regulation is enforced by OCR and is in the federal code of regulations at 34 CFR 100.
The Title VI regulation prohibits retaliation for filing an OCR complaint or for advocacy for a right protected by Title VI. Title VI also prohibits employment discrimination, but the protection against employment discrimination under Title VI is limited. As a result, most complaints OCR receives raising race, color, or national-origin discrimination in employment are referred to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Today's choice for Pure Mobile accessory of the week is official. No really, it's official. Because, rather than reviewing a third party Galaxy S4 accessory, today's we're focusing on the real deal, with the officially-branded Samsung Clear Cover Galaxy S4 case.
Also known as the Samsung S View Cover, this carrying case bears the advantages of being designed by the same minds that made the Galaxy S4. And we were excited about its arrival even before it hit the market, as soon as we caught a glimpse of the preliminary list of Galaxy S4 accessories Samsung was lining up ahead of the phone's release.
Here's the lowdown. This thin, lightweight case has a precision molded plastic and silicon rear edge and transparent backing that mates perfectly with the Galaxy S4. Then, improving on a basic a folio design, its front cover features a display window. So, even though your screen is protected, you still get to see important stuff, like notifications, the time and other phone activity.
But here's what's really clever about this Galaxy S4 carrying case: your phone can actually tell when it's on, or whether its open or shut, and it displays information accordingly. Meanwhile, a magnetic trigger on the cover puts the device to sleep when it's closed and wakes it up when it's opened.
In other words, it's one of the few cell phone carrying cases that's actually perfectly integrated and in tune with te device it protects.
No surprise then that the Samsung Clear Cover – or S View, whatever you want to call it – has had its praises sung by many leading review sites. Pocket Lint ranked it among the "best Galaxy S4 cases" available now. And PocketNow called it a "flipping awesome" flip case, saying of the combo of display windown and wake and sleep functions:
"Standing alone, these two improvements don't sound like much – but together, they fundamentally alter the way we perceive and use the case."
The Samsung Clear Cover (S View) case is probably one of the most advanced flip-cover cases we've seen for any device, let alone the Galaxy S4. From its slick, compact look to its intelligent design and total integration with the Galaxy S4, it's hard to beat. And it more than earns its place as our accessory of the week.

With 15 million hits in just over a year, hotmessmom.com is one of the most popular blogs for mothers in the world.
Unlike so many others blogs, the writer behind Hot Mess Mom told Local 6's Lauren Rowe her blog has nothing to do with teaching us how to turn egg cartons into caterpillars. It is about how to turn our imperfections into reasons for celebration.
The blog's title raises the question, what exactly is a hot mess? The unidentified Central Florida woman who calls herself the Hot Mess Mom provided her definition.
"If I look a little rough in the morning, or I've had one too many glasses of wine the night before, or if I'm chasing after one of my kids and I'm totally disheveled, and I say, 'I'm just a hot mess. Today, I'm just a hot mess,'" she said.
The courage and candor to tell it like it really is has kept her ranking in the top five of the more than 400,000 mommy and parenting blogs on the net over the past year.
"I knew that people would read it. I really did. I didn't know it would go like it did," she said.
The Hot Mess Mom's blog empire began innocently enough as a simple way for this local mom of three boys to vent about the everyday frustrations and chaos known as parenthood. But now among board games and books in her kids' play room are shirts, coffee mugs, koozies bearing Hot Mess Mom's trademarks.
While she won't reveal her real name, hot mess mom explained to Rowe why the world needs her message.
"As women, us striving for perfection all the time, it's a bad message for our children. It's no good for our marriages. It's no good for ourselves," said Hot Mess Mom.
So veiled most times in sarcasm and snark as she calls it, the Hot Mess Mom writes about everything from doctor appointments to school incidents, and even late night conversations with her hubby -- all veiled in her own brand of sarcasm and, as she calls, snark.
"I wrote a post today that I woke up my husband last night ;cause I thought he was dead. And he's like, 'Why did you wake me up last night?'" she said.
It's not just about the posts any more. Most of Hot Mess' revenue comes from her trademarked phrase, "There's a chance this is vodka."
"'There's a chance this is vodka' (is) on a water bottle. That's just funny. If you're at a gym, that's funny," said Hot Mess Mom.
She says she doesn't worry about offending anyone because "the beauty of a blog is that people can choose to go there. I've had 600,000 comments on the blog and the negative ones are less than 20."
It's the fun and frivolity that keeps both men and women coming back and reading the real message, the Hot Mess Mom says.
"Women, where we should be: arm-to-arm, flexing our muscles. But we try to push each other down constantly. Embrace the fact that you're going to make mistakes. You're going to be imperfect; it's the imperfections that make you who you are. We need more messy people. Messy is good," said the Hot Mess Mom.

Though sports have never really been our strong suit, addressing spring's many athletic-inspired trends is a game we love playing. Consider the focus of today's Microtrend report-side-striped trousers-for example. These pants aren't the "Hit Me Baby One More Time" track pants of the late '90s (perish the thought). This time around, sporty trousers have sprinted into the high-fashion realm, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the wide range of stylish designer iterations. Fashion insiders like Erin Wasson and Leigh Lezark are going for the gold with their sporty stripes, from billowy trousers to two-tone denim versions, and we think you should too. Game on!
While side-striped pants had a major presence in the Resort 12 collections-see: Prabal Gurung, Alberta Ferretti, and Yigal Azrouel-they received an equal amount of love on the S/S 12 runways too. At Isabel Marant, languid drawstring trousers, like the bright blue Pants ($605, 212.219.2284) shown above, epitomized cool comfort, but when paired with the delicate sheer Lace Top ($1195, 212.219.2284) and sleek Rio Sandals ($890, 212.219.2284) they felt more downtown chic than track and field. We can say the same thing about the black and white ensemble Liya Kebede wore at the amfAR New York Fashion Week gala in February. While her Lanvin Black Washed Flowing Silk Satin Trousers ($3260) perfectly channel the season's sporty look, her decision to add the Ecru Washed Georgette Crepe Silk Top ($3870, 646.439.0380) and strappy heels (both from the Lanvin S/S 12 collection) elevates the entire outfit for a look that is equal parts soignee and laidback.
In addition to upgrading these casual trousers with sophisticated and feminine accents, you can also embrace an edgier styling method a la Erin Wasson and Leigh Lezark. The former, seen here at the February BCBMAXAZRIA F/W 12 show, put her signature model-off-duty aesthetic on display when she paired her vintage bright blue pants with a low-cut Helmut Lang top, tuxedo-style jacket by BCBG, and Givenchy zip-up ankle boots. We love that the finished look resembles a fashion-forward bandleader outfit! Lezark, on the other hand, created a simple and sleek haute biker look for her appearance at a Hudson Jeans event in New York. The model/DJ's Hudson LouLou Tuxedo Crop Super Skinny Jeans ($198) in Burgundy with Phosphorescent Pink stripe paired with a leather jacket and black pumps made for an on-point day-to-night outfit.
Of course, you always have the option to play up the casual factor of this microtrend too; just be sure to keep Fearne Cotton and Zanna Roberts Rassi's stylish outfits in mind when putting together your own look. For an afternoon stroll in London late last month, Cotton went for a cozy and comfy look, teaming her Hudson LouLou Tuxedo Crop Super Skinny Jeans ($198) in Olive with Phosphorescent Yellow stripe with American Apparel's Unisex Fisherman's Pullover ($78) in Navy and Vans' Checkerboard Authentic Shoes ($47) in Pewter/Black. While Cotton's outfit is perfect for a low-key weekend outing, an easygoing ensemble featuring track pants works well for a fashion event too, as Roberts Rassi recently demonstrated. The Marie Claire Senior Fashion Editor turned up at the BCBGMAXAZRIA F/W 12 show in French Connection trousers, a Julien Macdonald blazer, and an oversized White + Warren scarf, resulting in a look that's relaxed yet still very fashionable.
Ready to earn your racing stripes? We thought so, which is why we rounded up a must-see selection of side-striped pants for your shopping delight! First things first: we think Zara's Trousers with Contrasting Ribbon ($60), Topshop's Side Stripe Ankle Grazers ($76), and Washborn's Side Stripe Trousers ($90) are an excellent assortment of affordable options. If you can invest a bit more, we'd like to direct you to Anthropologie's Tuxedo Wide-Leg Pants ($248) in Ivory with Black Stripe, which would look chic with a fitted tank and heels for the office, and Elizabeth and James' Elson Sport Trousers ($325), which look a lot like Kebede's drool-worthy Lanvin pair. We're also fond of the tailored cut of A.L.C.'s James Pants ($465), and think Rag & Bone's Neon-Striped Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans ($200) are a top-notch pick too. Finally, Sonia Rykiel's Contrast-Trimmed Crepe Straight-Leg Pants ($1195) in Black with Orange and Pale Yellow Stripes are an investment-worthy option and bring a luxurious twist to the season's sporty look.-Jessica Baker

FORTHCOMING: Global Seminar on Disaster Risk Financing, 17-18 September 2015, Kuala Lumpur
In an increasingly globalised economy, the knock-on effect of disasters grows beyond the direct economic and social impact of the countries affected. At the same time recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the frequency and severity of catastrophes, both natural and man-made, and the trend is towards greater vulnerability and exposure, leading to larger losses.
Governments must act, not merely react. The costs associated with natural and man-made disasters must be properly assessed and financially managed before a major loss occurs, and this requires a proactive role of governments in direct and continuous co-operation with the private sector.
Are governments in developed and emerging countries adopting efficient strategies to manage the increasing financial burden of catastrophes? What are the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders in the public and private sectors in the management of disaster risks and costs? How can all parties best prepare for the unprecedented challenges posed by large-scale risks?
To address these issues and develop sound policies, the OECD has established an International Network on the Financial Management of Large-Scale Catastrophes.
The Network promotes the exchange of information and experiences among policymakers, industry, and academia in both OECD and non-OECD countries.
High Level Advisory Board
The Network benefits from the guidance and intellectual leadership of a High-Level Advisory Board composed of experts from governments, private sector and academia. The High-Level Advisory Board plays a leading role in identifying and discussing the major policy issues related to the financial management of large-scale catastrophes. It also performs advisory functions to the OECD Secretary-General and to the Insurance and Private Pensions Committee (IPPC) and the Committee on Financial Markets (CMF) in the drafting of guidelines, good practices, recommendations and principles.

No decisions will be made until the buildings and grounds committee has met with the architect from March Associates Architecture and Planners, Utica, on Aug. 5 to figure out how much state aid the district can receive for the project.
We need to table all this until we get some numbers back, said board President Frank J. Laverghetta.
Potential improvements include:
n Expanding Indian River Intermediate Schools cafeteria and adding 130 seats;
n Adding a turf field;
n Expanding the high school band room to accommodate 125 students;
n Adding eight classrooms to Evans Mills Primary School;
n Moving the rest of the high school and all of the middle school to geothermal energy;
n Adding solar panels.
Board member Peter D. Shue said adding classrooms to Evans Mills would tie two wings together, creating a better flow rather than a long, dead-end hallway.
However, since the announcement that Fort Drum stands to lose 1,500 soldiers in the next four years, some members of the board were concerned that the classroom additions would be unnecessary.
Without putting in any classrooms, you cant do such things as turf or such things as band rooms, said Business Manager James R. Koch.
Projects that affect student learning directly are what drives the aid, he said.
He noted that new housing on post will be available in September and phase five of Eagle Ridge Villages town house development might be finished in April, bringing in families looking to settle in the area.
He stressed that basic maintenance will be done whether a capital project is agreed upon or not.
You want to protect the infrastructure, he said. You really want to seal it from the elements.
The board will discuss the capital project more at its next meeting on Aug. 8.
Our little quandary here is how to proceed, Mr. Shue said.

Squeeze out every ounce of power.
The addition of Squeezebox to the Custom Flying V™ changes the game completely for riders like Mikkel Bang and Mads Jonsson. The thinner core underfoot transitions to thicker, more powerful areas between and outside your feet to optimize pop, snap, and handling. Considering this Flying V is already Springloaded with rocker float and camber stability, along with the electrified edge control of Lightning Bolts and Frostbite, it's advisable you keep this board stored outside.

Brittney Gustas gets ready to throw one across the plate.
Two for two.
Thats the winning streak started by this year's Lady Dino softball team.
They took on a scrappy squad from South Summit on Thursday and came away with an 8-7 win.
Things looked bad early for Carbon as South Summit jumped on them for five runs in the first inning. A couple of errors in the first let the Lady Wildcats take the early lead by more than they should have.
It took a few innings for the Dinos to catch up to the speed of the opposing pitcher, but once they did the Dinos roared back with six runs of their own. South Summit tied it with a run in the bottom of the third.
Both teams sent a runner across the plate in the fourth leaving the game knotted at seven. It stayed that way until the top of the seventh when Carbon put up one more on the score board. A hit by Alexis Oliver sent Kylee Lessar across for what proved to be the winning run. Then they shut down South Summit for the victory.
Brittney Gustas got the win for the Dinos. She was hit in the kneee on a come backer and Kenzie Cave came in for the save. Gustas also had the only extra bag hit with a double. The Dinos did their damage with a total of thirteen hits. They also committed four errors.
"South Summit may be a 2A team," stated Coach Tony Pinedo, "But they are ranked third in the state and they are tough. It was a good win and the umps were really tough. We were lucky we did enough good things to win."
The Lady Dinos head south again to St George for the Snow Canyon Classic tournament this weekend. They play their next home game on March 26 in a region opener against Salem Hills. The first pitch will be thrown at 3:30 p.m..

The dizzying speed of the growth of the surveillance state and the increasing sophistication of the tools used to build it are paid for in large measure by funds doled out by the Army's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
At The New American we have chronicled the various projects sponsored by the über-secret research and development arm of the military. One of the newest technologies being pursued by DARPA will not only widen the field of vision of government's never-blinking eye, but it purports to predict the behavior of those being watched.
Forbes reports that DARPA has contracted with scientists at Carnegie Mellon University to develop "an artificial intelligence system that can watch and predict what a person will 'likely' do in the future using specially programmed software designed to analyze various real-time video surveillance feeds. The system can automatically identify and notify officials if it recognized that an action is not permitted, detecting what is described as anomalous behaviors."
Deployment of the devices is anticipated at "airports and bus stations," but there is little doubt that should these predictive monitors prove successful, they will be installed right there next to the red light cameras already mounted at nearly every intersection in America.
Forbes also reports that "Carnegie Mellon is one of 15 research teams and commercial integrators that is participating in a five-year program, started in 2010, to develop smart video software."
Several aspects of this "Minority Report" come-to-life sound substantially similar to another contest of sorts being concurrently sponsored by DARPA at a secret campus near George Mason University in Virginia.
In a statement announcing the progress of the research, DARPA spokesmen Mark Geertsen said the goal of the project was "to invent new approaches to the identification of people, places, things and activities from still or moving defense and open-source imagery."

Natural gas flows out. Money flows in. That's the basic formula behind the Bill Barrett Corp.'s plan for the West Tavaputs Plateau gas field.
Wall Street traders expect it to be a profitable venture. The corporation's stock price spiked up immediately after last Thursday's announcement of the Bureau of Land Management's final approval of full-field development. However, before those investors see any dividends, workers will get paychecks and the federal, state and county governments will get their share of royalties and taxes on the property and its production.
Wages and taxes for a project this size are measured in megabucks. Drill rig crews and field maintenance workers will number about 200. When they spend their money in the county, they are expected to generate 1.7 jobs in the urban economy for each gas field job in the boondocks.
According to Commissioner Bill Krompel, Bill Barrett accounted for $5.3 million in revenues to the county in 2008 via mineral lease payments. When the project gets up to full production in several years, that could triple. Krompel has calculated the county would receive $16 million in lease money. The state would get $24 million and the feds would rake in $40 million.
Property taxes also could triple over the years, which would chiefly benefit the Carbon School District and its students. The district gets about two-thirds of the property tax money collected by the county. Bill Barrett paid $1.5 million in 2008, and if its property tax payment goes to $4.5 million, the schools would get $3 million.
The state-imposed sevance tax on natural gas would also surge to $21 million a year from the current $7 million, according to the commissioner's figures. He assumes that the sales price of gas will be $6.50 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Over and above the tax payments, the company will be spending up to $5 million over the years on wildlife and cultural enhancements in the project area and Nine Mile Canyon. Initial plans call for survey of all Native American rock art and other archeology, along with research and creation of interpretive displays.
Since traffic through Nine Mile and other roads is expected to increase as the development proceeds, Bill Barrett will also spend up to $10 million on road work to suppress dust and improve drainage. As reported earlier in the Sun Advocate, the county has already received approval for $5 million in grants and loans from the state's Permanent Community Impact Board for its share of the $20 million total cost. The state is supposed to pay the final $5 million.
The BLM's Record of Decision also calls for habitat protection and enhancement for deer, elk and sage grouse, as well as for non-game species and native plants.
The environmental constraints will produce the only drawback for the county, and this is minor, Commissioner Krompel said. That is the BLM's requirement that four back-country roads will be gated to prevent access to the general public. These are Jack Canyon, Horse Bench, Cedar Ridge and Jack Ridge roads. "Carbon County does not have a full legal claim to ownership of these roads per federal case law," he explained, adding that the roads have been claimed by both the county and federal government but the claims have never been settled in court.
Given the millions of dollars at stake, he does not foresee the county pressing its claim.
Meanwhile, the county has 550 miles of roads to take care of already. Some of these include Nine Mile, Argyle Canyon, Dry Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon and Cold Spring roads around the project area. They clearly belong to the county and the county receives funds from the state to maintain them. These will all be open to the public and improved as a result of the natural gas development, Krompel said.

Clinton Power Station automatically shut down at 8 a.m. today
CLINTON, IL – Clinton Power Station automatically shut down at 8 a.m. today, after the main generator tripped off line. The plant responded as expected, safely, and without incident.
The main generator is the machine that produces electricity at the station and is on the non-nuclear side of the plant.
Clinton operators are fully investigating the cause of the shutdown. There was no impact to the public and the shutdown will not affect electrical service to customers.
Clinton Power Station is located approximately six miles east of Clinton. The plant produces 1,078 megawatts, enough electricity for about one million homes.

If preparing for winter includes a fall clean-up project, then getting rid of that old second refrigerator can help you save energy and money just in time for colder weather. Whether you have it stored in the garage or basement, or want to get rid of a working fridge or freezer you recently replaced, having it picked up and recycled can save you money to help pay heating bills.
Rocky Mountain Power pays customers in Utah and Idaho a $30 incentive for scheduling the pick-up of old, operating, secondary refrigerators and freezers. Older appliances rely on outdated technology that can cost their owners as much as $150 a year in higher electricity costs. Â
That money turns into savings when people take advantage of Rocky Mountain Power's "See ya later, refrigerator®" program, which provides all the labor and transportation necessary to remove the appliance from the home and deliver it to the recycling facility. And with colder weather increasing demand on household energy, fall is an ideal time to think about removing an outdated refrigerator or freezer.
To schedule a free, in-home pick up of a refrigerator or freezer for recycling, Rocky Mountain Power customers can call toll free at 1-866-899-5539 or visit www.wattsmart.com. The program is limited to removal of two units per household. Appliances to be recycled must be in working order and between 10 and 30 cubic feet using inside measurements. Â
"It's one of the easiest ways you can instantly start saving money on household energy costs. We literally do all the heavy lifting, and pay you $30 for letting us remove an extra refrigerator or freezer from your home," said Greg Stiles, Rocky Mountain Power energy efficiency program manager. "This is one of many programs that help our customers save money by being wattsmart."
Once that old refrigerator or freezer is out of the home, it's on its way to a process that reclaims 95 percent of its materials for recycling. At a demanufacturing plant, the national firm of JACO Environmental employs a robotic process that disassembles the old units while safely removing toxic substances such as mercury, oils, and foam insulation.
The outdated appliances yield metals and plastics that are reclaimed for use in the manufacturing of mobile phones, computers, construction rebar and road surfacing, just to name a few uses.
"Having that old garage fridge picked up and recycled saves energy, can lower your electricity bill, and keeps toxic materials out of landfills and the environment," said Michael Dunham, director of energy and environmental programs for JACO Environmental.

The Helper American Legion team began their season off strong with a win against Tooele on Wednesday, June 15.
Tooele was demolished in a 8-3 win against Helper. Chris Hatch, Chandler Pearson and Joe Via all scored triples in what was an incredibly well played league game.
American Legion also hosted a great tournament in Helper this weekend. Even though Helper only won one of the four tournament games they played, Helper played a great tournament and were given a lot of support from fans that came to see their local team play. The stands of the Helper ballpark were packed as the local team went up against opponents including St. George, Taylorsville, Kearns and Spring Creek in a tournament that would consist of 16 games in just four days.
Even though Helper didn't play their first game until Friday, the tournament started off Thursday night with St. George taking on Kearns at 6:15 p.m. This game didn't turn out as good as St. George probably had hoped with a win of 8-5 for Kearns.
Spring Creek, Nev., took on Cyprus later that night and also ended the night with a disappointing loss. Cyprus took a 6-2 win in their first game of the tournament.
Friday was packed with a lot more action when the games began early that morning. Taylorsville started off the day with a close win over Kearns, 13-10. After that, Cedar City took on and demolished Cyprus with a 8-3 win.
Right after winning Cyprus, the exhausted Cedar City took on Taylorsville Legion and were crushed in the process, ending the game with a 10-1 lead.
After a landslide win against Cedar City, Taylorsville Legion went right back onto the field and crushed Spring Creek with another win of 9-0.
The real action finally started late Friday night when Helper took on St. George at 8 p.m. What started out as a close game for both teams, ended with a six run lead by St. George. Even though Helper lost, this was a well played game for all members of the Helper team.
Saturday was also packed full of games as the morning started with another loss for Spring Creek. Cedar City handed Spring Creek their third loss of the tournament by taking a 8-6 win in the first game of the day.
After the third loss for Spring Creek, Taylorsville Legion went out and completed their third win of the tournament ending the game 10-4 against Cyprus.
The St. George team came out after this and handed an 8-5 win to the Taylorsville club team.
Once again playing later at night, Helper went up against the tough Taylorsville club team. Even though Helper played tough, they couldn't defeat the Taylorsville team and the game ended with a 13-4 win for Taylorsville.
Still tired from their last game, Helper went right back onto the field with a game against Kearns. Even after a tough game against Taylorsville, the exhausted Helper team played awesome and kept the score close. Even with some tough playing by Helper, Kearns ended the game one run ahead with a 10-9 win over Helper.
With two long back to back games the night before, the Helper team got up early the next morning for their final game of the tournament.
Taking on Spring Creek in the first game on Sunday morning after already losing three devastating games of the tournament, Helper still seemed undeniably strong.
Helper redeemed themselves by dominating Spring Creek for the entire game, never allowing them to get the upper hand. They ended the game the same way they played it, in the lead. The Helper tournament seemed to be against Spring Creek from the start and with a little help from Helper were handed their fourth loss of the tournament.
Several Helper team members played extremely well during the game. Tyler Nelson, Mike Zaccaria, Blake Mortensen and JD Sherman all scored doubles. Nelson also scored a triple, while Joe Via made a homer with a well hit ball.
Right after Spring Creek was crushed by Helper, St. George took on Cyprus. Both teams played hard, but no matter how hard they tried, neither team could pull themselves out of a 7-7 tie.
Kearns then took on Cedar City at 2 p.m. Both teams were tied at two wins for the tournament, but Kearns was undeniably the stronger team when Cedar City handed them a 10-0 win.
The tournament wrapped up with the championship game against Taylorsville Legion going up against the Taylorsville club team. Even though both teams played hard, Taylorsville Legion took home a 12-3 championship win.
Helper's Travis Bettencourt and Ricky Lopez both made the all-tournament team, while Trevor Thompson won the Gold Glove Award in the tournament.
The next Helper game will be away against Kearns Post tomorrow, but they will be back to play in Helper on June 24 against West. Helper will also host a doubleheader on Saturday, June 25 against Taylorsville.
