Prince Edward Island
Origin of the Name
Aboriginal peoples called Prince Edward Island
Abegweit, derived from a Mi'kmaq word loosely translated as
cradled in the waves. Early French settlers called it
Île St-Jean and, when the Treaty of Paris in 1763 gave the island to the British, the name was translated to
St. John's Island.
The island also has several nicknames including the
Million- Acre-Farm and
The Garden of the Gulf.
Population (2006) - 138,500
Area: Land - 5,660 km2
Fresh Water - 0 km2
Total - 5,660 km2
Capital: Charlottetown
Date of entry into Confederation: July 1, 1873
Although the Mi'kmaq have inhabited the island for the last 2,000 years, there are indications that their ancestors lived there as long as 10,000 years ago. These Aboriginal peoples are said to have reached the island by crossing the low plain now covered by the Northumberland Strait.
In 1534, Jacques Cartier was the first European to set eyes on the island, which he called the
fairest land that may possibly be seen. Despite Cartier's glowing description, settlement of the island was slow. Not until the early 1700s did the French establish a permanent colony and, by 1748, the population was still fewer than 700.
The population of the island grew dramatically following the British expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755. By the time the French fortress of Louisbourg fell to the British in 1758, the population of the island was more than 5,000. The British forced all but a few hundred of the Acadians to leave the island, even though France did not cede the island until the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
Prince Edward Island was plagued throughout most of the colonial period with problems of absentee landowners. Most of the people granted land by the British Crown never set foot on the island. Some refused to sell land to the tenants; others charged outrageous prices to sell, or demanded high rents of those who wished to establish farms on the rich land.
The island's government tried to impose a tax on landowners to cover the cost of administration, but this tax was next to impossible to collect. In 1840, the colony was able to buy land from some of the landlords and make it available for purchase by tenants. Money for this purpose, however, was soon exhausted.
Prince Edward Island hosted the first of the Confederation conferences at Charlottetown in 1864. However, the island's leaders dropped out of the confederation discussions after the Québec City Conference later in the same year because they feared the island's autonomy would be jeopardized by joining a large Canadian union.
Less than ten years later, that decision was reversed. The debt incurred in building a railway for the island, pressure from the British government, and the attractive promises of the Canadian government compelled Prince Edward Island to join Confederation in 1873. The Canadian promises included an absorption of the debt, year-round communication with the mainland and funds to buy out the absentee landowners.
Coat of Arms
The top part of the shield features the English heraldic lion, which appears on the coat of arms of Prince Edward, after whom the province is named, and on the royal coat of arms of King Edward VII, who assigned the provincial arms. The lower part of the shield shows a green island with a large oak tree on the right and three young oaks on the left. The mature tree represents the Oak of England, while the tree saplings represent the province's three counties — Kings, Queens and Prince. The trees rise from a single base, as both Britain and Prince Edward Island are islands.
The crest combines the blue jay and the red oak leaf, two provincial emblems, with the Royal Crown, all placed on the gold helmet of sovereignty signifying Prince Edward Island's co-sovereign status in Confederation. The supporters are two silver foxes, prized local animals that indicate the importance of fur farming in the 19th and early 20th century economy of the province. Around their necks are a garland of potato blossoms and a length of fishing net, representing the agricultural and fishing industries. The compartment on which they stand includes the rose, lily, shamrock and thistle emblems of England, France, Ireland and Scotland, along with two lady slipper flowers, the provincial floral emblem. At the centre is an eight-pointed star, a symbol used for centuries by the Mi'kmaq people to represent the sun.

Stevens Point firefighters Mark Kitowski, left, and Kerry Taylor hang a wreath for the 2013 Keep the Wreath Green fire-prevention campaign earlier this holiday season.
- Filed Under
Every year, fire departments in Portage County display wreaths illuminated with green bulbs, hoping they'll stay that way through the holiday season.
This might be the closest they've come.
The Keep the Wreath Green campaign ended New Year's Day, with only one bulb turning red. Departments swap green light bulbs for red for each structure fire in Portage County that happens from the midnight before Thanksgiving until the end of New Year's Day.

Auction 94 Freeze Announced ofr FM Minor Change Applications
Download OptionsReleased: November 21, 2012
News Media Information: (202) 418-0500445 12th STREET, S.W. Internet: https://www.fcc.gov
November 21, 2012
Auction 94 Freeze Announced for FM Minor Change ApplicationsThe Media Bureau announces that it will not accept FM commercial and noncommercial
educational ("NCE") minor change applications during the Auction 94 Form 175 application filing
window. This window will open on January 28, 2013, and close on February 6, 2013.1
In Auction 94, scheduled to begin on April 23, 2013, the Media and Wireless
Telecommunications Bureaus will make available through competitive bidding procedures 112 vacant
non-reserved band allotments in the FM broadcast service. These allotments are listed in Attachment A
of the Auction 94 Procedures Public Notice.2 FM minor change applications, which can now be filed on
a first-come first-served basis, must protect the reference coordinates of each of these allotments. As part
of the pre-auction procedures, an auction participant must file Form 175, Application to Participate in an
FCC Auction. In conjunction with its Form 175 submission, an auction participant also may specify
preferred site coordinates, and thereby gain protection for a potential transmitter site.3 However, absent a
freeze during the Form 175 filing period, an existing station could file a minor change proposal that
would be mutually exclusive with an auction applicant's new station proposal at its preferred site, thereby
subjecting the minor change application to auction procedures. This freeze also will include reserved
band minor change applications to avoid potential conflicts between these filings and Form 175
1 On September 11, 2012, the Media Bureau also announced a freeze, effective immediately, on the filing of
applications proposing to modify any of the vacant non-reserved band FM allotments scheduled for Auction 94, and
petitions and counterproposals that propose a change in channel, class, community, or reference coordinates for any
of the FM allotments scheduled for Auction 94. Any application, petition or counterproposal that either proposes
any change to, or fails to fully protect an Auction 94 FM allotment, or preferred site coordinates specified in an
applicant's Form 175 application, will be dismissed. This freeze will automatically terminate the day after the filing
deadline for post-Auction 94 long form applications. See Auction 94 Freeze Announced for Certain FM
Applications and Rulemaking Filings, Public Notice, DA 12-1451 (MB rel. Sept. 11, 2012).
2 Auction of FM Broadcast Construction Permits Scheduled for April 23, 2013; Notice and Filing Requirements,
Minimum Opening Bids, Upfront Payments and Other Procedures for Auction 94, Public Notice, DA 12-1865
(WTB/MB rel. Nov. 21, 2012) ("Auction 94 Procedures Public Notice"). Bidders are also cautioned that currently
pending petitions for rulemaking and open rulemaking proceedings may affect the 112 FM allotments scheduled
for Auction 94. See Auction 94 Procedures Public Notice, "Due Diligence," Section I.B.3.
3 See Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act – Competitive Bidding for Commercial
Broadcast and Instructional Television Fixed Service Licenses, 13 FCC Rcd 15920, 15975 and n.153 (1998)

further recon., Memorandum Opinion and Order, 14 FCC Rcd 14521 (1999).
applications.4 These temporary freezes are designed to avoid conflicts between the frozen filings and
auction proposals, and promote a more certain and speedy auction process.
For additional information, contact James Bradshaw or Rudy Bonacci, Audio Division, Media
Bureau at (202) 418-2700.
By: Chief, Media Bureau
4 Such conflicts may arise when the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements for FM facilities
are applied to proposals specifying operation on channels in the "border" between the reserved and non-reserved
bands (Channels 218-223) or on intermediate frequency (IF) channels, i.e., channels that are separated by 53 or 54
channels. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.207 and 73.507.

Audiences can expect romance, secret agents and Mister Ed's Elephant Museum in the last installment of John Putch's "Route 30" trilogy.
The series, filmed completely in south central Pennsylvania, follows the whacky and sometimes touching tales of characters living along Route 30 between Chambersburg and Gettysburg.
The most recent film will premiere on Aug. 2 and 3 at Gettysburg's Majestic Theater. It focuses on three stories: the disappearance of a character named Rotten Egg, a camera that reveals the truth in every photo and one man's quest to become less boring.
Before the premiere, Putch shared a few of his thoughts about the movie, filming in south central Pennsylvania and making independent movies on a small budget.
How would you describe the Route 30 series to viewers who have not seen the first two films?
First, if you haven't seen one of these movies, it's okay because they all stand alone. You don't have to see one to enjoy the other, and there's no secrets missing if you just show up. Secondly, when we do these things (the Route 30 movies), this is the area of the state that the movies are made for because I'm from there, and I set my stories along the Route 30 corridor along Chambersburg and Gettysburg.
How does this most recent film compare to the other two movies in the series?
I think it's a blend of the two. One was incredibly personal and melancholic. It dealt with stuff that was important to me, and there was a lot of my mother and my father in it. The second one was a farce. There was absolutely nothing serious about it. It was nothing but hijinks and laughter. I think the third one, I tried to blend both of those together when I could. Hopefully the movie will leave you thinking about it and the humans in it rather than just laughing it off and forgetting it the next day.
All of the Route 30 series, including the most recent film, was shot in south central Pennsylvania. What is it about this area that makes you want to keep coming back?
I just love shooting movies there. It feels like it did when I was a kid and I shot my Super 8 movies. So there I am back in my stomping grounds where everything is familiar... I also like shooting in the area because it's pretty, and there's some really interesting stuff to see. I'm so tired of turning on the TV set or going to the movie theater and seeing the same old Los Angeles or Chicago city and stuff that's not that pretty.
All of these films were shot with a crew of fewer than 10 people. What was that experience like?
My crew was limited to eight. We're very small. The whole point of the micro-budget edict is we need to do it with less people and less money. It's not about profit; it's about discovering the joy of doing something and making something with your hands. Some people, their hobby is they make furniture in their garage, or they paint, or they make jewelry, whatever it is that they do. This is my hobby, and I love doing this.
So how does that small crew influence the final product?
I think they (mico-budget films) are the best movies I've ever made, to be honest. They're the best stories, and they're well-acted and they're well-edited. I have complete control of them, so it's up to me. It's either going to fail or succeed because of me, not because of some committee or television studio or network or something that demands me do this or hire that person or write it this way. I think the lower the budget, the less interference you have. These are my films and I finance them, so they really are my home movies.
What advice would you give aspiring filmmakers hoping to break into the industry?
I would encourage them not to break into the industry. I would encourage them just to make their films wherever they are. You can make them with anything now, and you don't need a pat on the back from studios and networks... You don't need to come to Hollywood, you don't need to go to New York to do it, you don't need to leave where you are to do it... I encourage people to look around at what they have and use it because nobody else has it.
What's next for you now that the Route 30 trilogy is done?
I go back to television in September to work on TV shows that I direct regularly, one of which is called "Cougar Town" with Courteney Cox. I'm also doing a show called "Bad Judge." It's a new show with Kate Walsh. And then I'm planning my next movie in Pennsylvania. I hope to do that in 2015 or early 2016, so I'll be coming back again. It will not be a Route 30 movie, but it will be a movie.
Can you say anything more about that movie?
All I know is it's probably going to be a little heavier in tone, and it might be a little more dramatic and not as whimsical. I don't have anything down yet, so it could go anywhere.
If you go
What: "Route 30 Three!" premiere
Where: Gettysburg Majestic Theater
When: Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. and Aug. 3 at 3 p.m.
Tickets: Gettysburgmajestic.org, 717-337-8200
More information: Director John Putch and several cast members will be on-hand after the screenings to answer audience questions. Free posters will be offered to the first 100 attendees, and all three DVDs from the trilogy will be on sale.

The country of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), located 31 miles off the south-eastern coast of India, was hit by a tsunami triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra on December 26, 2004. The tsunami was one of the worst disasters ever recorded in Sri Lankan history. The tsunami left tens of thousands dead, many more homeless, and caused widespread chaos across the island nation. In addition to the human impacts, the tsunami had widespread effects on Sri Lanka's environment and ecosystems.
Since its inception in early fall of 2007 PROViDE, in cooperation with The Foundation of Goodness, has focused its efforts in coastal Seenigama, Sri Lanka where residents are still recuperating from the wreckage left in the wake of the tsunami of December 26, 2004.

"Unfortunately parents get so enthusiastic about their kids and their abilities in skateboarding, or baseball, or football or whatever and sometimes they take it a little too far," said the park operator, Martin Ramos. Ramos said the boy and his father often skate together at the park and he has never seen any behavior similar to that seen in the video before. "He [Crossland] said he was just caught up in the moment. He seemed very remorseful. He certainly understands the gravity of the situation and it seems like he is going to be answering to this thing for quite some time to come," Ramos said.

Siemens' 6 MW Offshore Wind Turbine Prototype Certified By GL Renewables
NAW Staff, Thursday 18 October 2012 - 12:50:46
GL Renewables Certification
has awarded a prototype certification to
Siemens Wind Power
's SWT-6.0-154 6 MW offshore wind turbine.
The prototype certification is a prerequisite for the testing of the turbine. Field testing of the company's new 154-meter rotor for the 6 MW offshore wind turbine
in Osterild, Denmark, on Oct. 6.
The prototype certificate confirms the wind turbine design's compliance with the requirements of the executive order from the Danish Energy Authority No. 651, which asks for a plausibility check of a prototype on the basis of the design documentation.
Siemens Wind Power developed its new 6 MW wind turbine for use at sea. The direct-drive wind turbine is equipped with what are currently the world's longest rotor blades, at 75 meters.
GL Renewables Certification has also been contracted to carry out the type certification of the SWT-6.0-154 offshore turbine and is currently involved in the design evaluation process. A type certification is required in many countries around the world and is often a condition to apply for international wind farm tenders.

This was it, the last match. Neither player was confident, assuming the matchup between their auction decks would come down to a coinflip. Walamies was with the red-white beatdown "G" deck, at five cards and twenty life. Thoren was with the three-color "V" deck, at five cards and eighteen life.
Though he mana stumbled, Thoren's deck was kind while Walamies's was not. Just a Glory Seeker joined the opposition before Thoren Voided for one. He saw a hand pakced with three casting-cost guys. The following turn, turn eight mind you, he came down with Visara the Dreadful.
Sengir Vampire followed while Walamies made more terrible creatures. Void for three teammed up with Gerrard's Verdict to leave Walamies with nothing but a pair of Runners on the table. Thoren wisely chose to bash for nine. Another turn, and the first game was his.
Thoren 1 - Walamies 0
Thoren couldn't hold back a snort when he saw his opening five: Mountain, swamp, plains, Gerrard's Verdict and Vindicate. Next to him, Brian Davis announced "This is it, that's the Invitational!"
It was even more ridiculous when he drew the second Verdict. Vindicate left him with one card in hand, and just mountain and Grim Lavamancer. Thoren held Visara.
"C'mon, swamps!" - Jens Thoren
One made an appearance. Walamies had another Lavamancer, as well as a second mountain. They started to bust Thoren up. He begged for another mountain, and finally, one came.
But he wasn't out of the woods yet. Two Lavamancer activations put him at 7. Walamies had found a plains, and then another for Gustcloak Skirmisher. A dying Lavamancer brought Thoren to five. Then came Glorious Anthem. Thoren drew Vengeful Dreams and considered attacking, but thought better of it and held back.
Walamies made an ambitious play. He swung in with his 3/3 Skirmisher, and Thoren blocked. Rather than activating his Visara, he chose to kill the Skirmisher with damage, forgetting about the inevitable Goblin Legionnaire. Sure enough, Walamies had one, and suddenly things were a lot trickier.
"I can't believe I did that!" - Jens Thoren
Glory Seeker was answered by Vengeful Dreams, and while Walamies drew a land, Thoren topdecked a second Visara. He even had Vindicate ready for the one card he feared: Goblin Trenches. Gustcloak Savior was far from threatening. Thoren showed it up with Sengir Vampire. Walamies sent a second Legionnaire to the dome, leaving Thoren at three.
"That thing flies?" - Jens Thoren
Now, you can't fault a man for not knowing the new cards. He Visara'd the big man and Volcanic Hammered the last goblin token. Walamies drew yet another Legionnaire.
"If I hadn't blocked, I would have died!" - Jens Thoren
It was true, if Walamies had sent the first one to the dome, he would have killed Thoren by this point. It was dicey for a moment, another Legionnare would win it, but it wasn't forthcoming.
"Congratulations.... but for this, I get the window seat." - Tomi Walamies
Final Result: Jens Thoren defeats Tomi Walamies 2-0 to win the Magic Invitational!

This I Believe II: More Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women
by Jay Allison (Editor), Dan Gediman (Editor)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Another excellent collection of essays from the NPR series This I Believe, read by the authors of the essays.
A friend let me borrow this, since she thought I'd enjoy it and now I need to read the rest of the books. I loved this book, even though many of the essays made me cry. (Or perhaps because of that...) Many of the essays are very inspirational and moving. I'm so glad NPR compiled them and I look forward to reading the rest!
This book is the follow-up (by 2 years) to This I Believe. It's hard to say much about this sequal that I haven't already mentioned in my review of the original, other than to say, "It's a Must-Read". The one thing it lacks, relative to the companion book is the photos of the essayists. I do, however, appreciate that in both books, there is a small biography of each author at the end of each essay, for two reasons: a) it gives one some background information about the person, and b) being after the essay, your appreciation of their thoughts are not skewed while reading what they have to say. I'm hoping that there will be yet another book from this NPR spot published soon.
Read this book. Read volume 1. Get some perspective. Life your life.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0805087680, Hardcover)
A new collection of inspiring personal philosophies from another noteworthy group of people
This second collection of This I Believe essays gathers seventyfive essayists—ranging from famous to previously unknown—completing the thought that begins the book's title. With contributors who run the gamut from cellist Yo-Yo Ma to ordinary folks like a diner waitress, an Iraq War veteran, a farmer, a new husband, and many others, This I Believe II, like the first New York Times bestselling collection, showcases moving and irresistible essays.
Included are Sister Helen Prejean writing about learning what she truly believes through watching her own actions, singer Jimmie Dale Gilmore writing about a hard-won wisdom based on being generous to others, and Robert Fulghum writing about dancing all the dances for as long as he can. Readers will also find wonderful and surprising essays about forgiveness, personal integrity, and honoring life and change.
Here is a welcome, stirring, and provocative communion with the minds and hearts of a diverse, new group of people—whose beliefs and the remarkably varied ways in which they choose to express them reveal the American spirit at its best.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:00:00 -0400)
Featuring 80 Americans--from the famous to the unknown--this series of insightful observations completes the thought that the book's title introduces. Each piece compels readers to rethink not only how they arrive at their own personal beliefs but also how they share them with others.… (more)

After a tight first half in Chillan, the USA broke the shackles in the second half to score three goals without reply, and send Mo Marley's England side home. The USA will now face the winner of the quarter-final between Brazil and Germany.
The first half of the game was quite even, with both sides having chances to open the scoring. England's Brooke Chaplen went just wide with a powerful strike on 23 minutes, while the USA's Sydney Leroux went close on 32 minutes, after receiving a long diagonal ball from the left.
It was the Americans who broke the deadlock eight minutes after half-time. Substitute Christine Nairn broke down the right wing and crossed, and Keelin Winters soared above the English defence to head in. Five minutes later it was almost two, when Rebecca Spencer was forced into an excellent save from a Leroux header.
England maintained their shape and their discipline, but were unable to create many clear opportunities. At the other end, Alex Morgan and Leroux had half-chances soon after the hour, and eventually it was the ubiquitous Leroux who made the game safe, when she headed in from Nairn's corner. After being denied by the post in a swift counter-attack, the USA put the seal on the victory deep into injury time, Leroux completing her brace from another counter-attack to send the Americans safely through to the last four.

Two Detroit men were arrested last night around 10:00pm after a month long investigation by the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office STOP Team. The Kanawha Sheriff's Office SWAT Team executed dual search warrants on the suspects' apartments in the Big Eagle Apartment Complex in Jefferson. STOP Team members seized a large amount of cash from both apartments as well as a loaded pistol and approximately one (1) ounce of Heroin from one of the apartments.
Keival L. Kelley age 29 of Detroit, MI was charged with Possession of Heroin with Intent to Deliver. Steven Walker age 38 of Detroit, MI was charged with Possession of Heroin with Intent to Deliver. A loaded pistol and cache of ammunition was found in Walker's apartment. Investigating Officer Cpl. F.E. Flowers is collaborating with the United States Attorney's Office regarding potential federal charges against Walker, due to prior felony convictions.
Both suspects were placed in the SCRJ on a $25,000 Full Surety Bond.
Heroin made a ferocious entrance in Kanawha County a couple of years or so ago precipitating epidemic use and consequently multiple and regular fatal overdosing has been the result.

Nicely done. I play 'bone, and most people have that one wrong. It's a glissando on piano, where a smear (portamento) isn't possible.
I'm afraid the credit is owed more to Wikipedia than to me.
Props for the due diligence, then!
We always call them glisses, by the way, even though that's wrong.
Portamento is less often a big smear, more often a common inflection often heard in orchestra recordings from bygone days, in string section work where they swoop up into notes together. It was uber-common the first half of the 20th c. and was part of Eugene Ormandy's "Philadelphia sound." Now it sounds cheesy and dated, but was common performance practice. You'll hear it in a lot of classic movie scores. It's like how Sinatra glides/swoops up into notes as part of his crooner style. I'll bet the strings in Fantasia and Gone with the Wind do it a lot, for you movie score fans. Once it's in your ears that they're doing it, it's hard to ignore, like an announcer with a pet phrase or something.

|Star Trek Movies XI+ Discuss J.J. Abrams' rebooted Star Trek here.

Defending J.J. Abrams (rant) (Spoilers)
The largest argument is that the new films have lost too much of their Trek identity. They are violent (militaristic), lost many of the moments that define Trek characters and overall the universe seems to be less... intellectual. I'm not blind to it... I can see exactly what everyone is talking about.
Let's start with the violence in the reboot of Star Trek. These two films do appear much more violent then their predecessors. But are they really? Let's take First Contact; arguably one of the best Star Trek films ever created. 1996 was the year the film was released, the same year Independence Day was released as well. Both films are action packed and contain plenty of death and sacrifice. But neither film seemed violent. Aside from aliens and the take over of Earth... the only other thing these two films have in common is production style. What goes into making the movie, the thought process behind everything.
With that said, Star Trek First Contact and every movie in existence is limited to production style and consumer tastes. The consumer taste of that time were not all to different from what they are today, but the production style was behind that of what the consumer truly wanted. But yet, consumers were happy with what was being produced and learned to deal with it because the industry was maxed out at what it could give...as displayed in these two movies.. they were top of the line for 96'. Both budgets were under $100 million as well.
Now dig deeper into First Contact... you have the Borg wiping out the entire ship, firing weapons onto earth (killing countless people), the crew being forced to kill other now-Borg crew members, a drunk Cochrane acting a fool and being violent, the destruction of multiple vessels in the fight to destroy the Borg Cube...etc etc.
Now dig deeper into Star Trek Into Darkness... you have a terrorist act performed by a member within Star Fleet (killing countless people), a conference room getting shot up by Khan (killing Admiral pike and a few others), multiple Klingons getting killed at the hands of Khan, members of the Enterprise crew getting killed by the Dreadnought class, Admiral Marcus getting killed by the hands of Khan and an unknown amount of civilians and small crew killed by the dreadnought being crashed into earth...also at the hands of Khan.
If you were to counter in Star Trek 2009, of course the death count would be much higher. An entire planet was wiped out. But my point, violence has always existed in Star Trek... don't get me started on the Wraith of Khan. It's the way the violence is presented that has changed. If you ask someone who was in their teens to mid 20's when the Original motion picture came out or the original TV series, they would tell you that First Contact is much more violent then what "Star Trek" use to be. Same with those of us who grew up with Wraith of Khan or even First Contact, we will look at the reboot as violent compared to what "Star Trek" use to be. That's not the case, the ability to express violence has changed greatly within the last decade alone...expediently over the past four to five decades! Same with the ability to express how the Enterprise looks or how the starts and planets look. I don't see people complaining about how much better the planets look. On another side note: A utopia will only last so long before it is challenged. We have seen this many times throughout the Star Trek universe...it's just more dramatic and drawn out now then ever before.
Next, the characters. I will agree flat out that the character development in the last two movies was lacking. This is not entirely a bad thing though. After watching both 2009 and Into Darkness we have learned enough about the main characters to say we know them enough... their attitudes, habits, personality. Unlike other Trek movies, the character development was not heavily harped on film by film...yet extended throughout films as seen in the reboot. The exception to this would be TNG films. As there was almost no character development what so ever. I think the producers were hoping that viewers would have learned enough about the characters in the TV series, yet many viewers of the movies did not see The Next Generation TV series. That's personally why I feel that out of the TNG movies, First Contact... and only first contact was successful.
In Star Trek 2009, we got a glimpse of the characters. Kirk, a rebel. Spock in constant battle with himself, Sulu... the new guy with a lot of potential. Uhura, independent and extremely intelligent. McCoy, there when you (Kirk) need him, stills says a lot of ridiculous things . Scotty, go to guy...funny. Chekov, young and naive but has something to offer.
Their development only continued in Into Darkness. We came to found out that Kirk, though a rebel, was willing to sacrifice his life for his crew. Spock does have a human side and he is a bit of a rebel as well. Uhura shows her lack of fear and her emotion for Spock. Scotty clearly shows that he sticks by his values...even after kicking kicked off of the Enterprise. McCoy stepped up for Kirk as a support. Chekov became an assist to the crew as he was put into a command position and even risking his life to save the Captain and Scotty. Sulu showed his potential for being a future captain... earning even the respect of Bones.
So when I hear there is no charter development... I laugh. It's once again, the style in which development is introduced. And honestly, this keeps me exited for the next movie...wondering what each character will do next.
Last, the intellect of the Trek universe..they don't seem too smart in the latest movies do they? I'd have to agree and will not defend it per say. But I will add that it is the right move. They slowly took away this intellect factor in the films as time passed. Because it was corny and honestly just does not fit in a two hour movie. I'd rather see the smarts come out in a TV series as would their larger pool of viewers... yes, we do not account for the majority of viewers in the last two movies.

Re: Defending J.J. Abrams (rant) (Spoilers)
That said, you make a lot of good points. Trek needed a reboot. Abrams brought new life into the franchise. I'm not going to attack you or anything you've said, but the way you've framed your post (rant, attacks), invites a negative response.

I think in a few years' time, and with the release of the next SW films, we'll be talking about these films as 'The Good Old Days' of Trek.
Now that I've seen it, and have also had time to mellow, to really think about it, I now find it absolutely, unbearably repulsive in every way except for some of the acting. - about The Wrath of Khan. Interstat, Issue 62: 1982

Re: Defending J.J. Abrams (rant) (Spoilers)
But I was responding here to your original post and the aspect dealing with violence. I don't think levels of violence or styles of portraying violence are anywhere near the heart of most complaining about the Abramsmovies ... that isn't the case for me, anyway, and I sure as shit despise nearly every minute of both of them (saw the first one on DVD and had to fast forward a couple times, then three years later managed to get through the whole thing streaming, broken into two viewings ... my wife is a huge Cumberbatch fan so I took her to see ID in the theater, and I think she may have been more appalled by it than I was.)
I think there is more real violence in TOS than in any of the movies. PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN is one of the hardest things in all of TREK for me to watch (well, we're not going to talk about VOYAGER or LITTLE ENTERPRISE, they're hard to watch for the usual 'geezus this is shit!' reasons.) The stuff with Spock doing the tap step around Kirk's head carries huge potential for destruction, and engages emotionally in a 'let me out of here' way.
None of the trek films, or even the Abrams films, have depicted anything terribly gruesome in a seriously off-putting way (Dougherty's death in INS really SHOULD have been, and the same can be said for the transporter accident in TMP), but if you want an example where the violence went too far for some in a franchise, you can look at LICENCE TO KILL, which turned a lot of people off by being honest and portraying Bond's universe as one that was in keeping with a lot of Fleming's writing. Even the ball-whacking in CASINO didn't seem to upset like LTK did.
On a side note, the idea you mention that FC is action-packed is something I've heard over and over again, but really, it is anything but. It trades much more in suspense than action, and when it does engage in action, it doesn't do it very well (Jean-Luc Peter Pan's arcing flight over the deflector dish, anyone?) It took me over a decade to get over my huge problems with FC, ranging from how they utterly blew their chance to show some REAL ashes that the Phoenix rises out of, to the FORBIDDEN PLANET level of moronic comic relief (something that recurs in all the TNG features.)
As for character development on ID, I just saw it as bad to start with (the whole Prime Directive opening offended me massively), so whatever happened later didn't make up for the early mess (can also apply this statement to the 09 as a whole, because I didn't buy a single thing in that movie ... it may as well have been ATTACK OF THE CLONES (or THE GREEN SLIME, MESSAGE FROM SPACE, insert whatever title works best for you as film-that-is-total-suckfest, but keep in mind Luciana Paluzzi is in GREEN SLIME so it CAN'T be all bad), it had that little connection or resonance with me (except in the 'geez they sure fucked THAT up, didn't they?' ways.)

Re: Defending J.J. Abrams (rant) (Spoilers)
Visually, Abrams' Trek is impressive. I like a lot of color in my Star Trek. I would like, however, a story that's a bit more imaginative than Evil Bad Guy{TM} seeks revenge and plotted a little more dynamically than simply jumping from one action setpiece to another.
The best thing Abrams has done is to pave the way for future reboots, so that Kirk and Spock can continue to boldly go as long as people can think up stories for them.

Gotta love Worf.
First Contact and Undiscovered Country to me are the most violent Trek films out there. Arms getting chopped off, blood spurting around, and all that.

The Replacement Wife resonates with images of The Sound of Music, but instead of a crisis of war in Europe, the hero battles a crisis of faith in Atlanta. Once again, Warren is masterful in creating characters who tug at our hearts and make us mad as heck while remaining grounded in the tenets of faith.
Chloe stakes claim to Quentin Chambers before his wife Chandra's grave is cold. The only Mrs. Chambers in her way now is Quentin's mother, who hires Montana as a live-in nanny. Chloe makes a deal with the devil to kill the threat she sees in Montana's humble spirit and soul-stirring voice, which begin to remind Quentin of Chandra. Quentin, a near-billionaire and former choir director, has one woman on his arm, his deceased wife's memory in his heart and the sound of music dying under his roof. Montana sings like an angel and is truly committed to her new life in Christ. All she wants now is a prince of her own. (DAFINA, Mar., 304 pp., $15.00)

$250K of pot seized in Mass. bust
By Hiroko Sator and Robert Mills, Staff
CHELMSFORD — A federal agent drove the vehicle from upstate New York before an informant got behind the wheel to finish the trip to a restaurant parking lot off Route 38 in Tewksbury.
Agents met the informant in New York, and an agent drove the vehicle while the informant rode with two other agents, until just before they arrived at the Tewksbury parking lot.
A short series of meetings took place, and the following day those who met the informant in the parking lot had him follow them to 55 Dunstable Road in Chelmsford.
That is when agents watched Yoeun Eng, 33, of 220 Fayette St., Lowell, unload a duffel bag holding the marijuana from the vehicle, according to an affidavit filed in federal court by an ICE agent.
Then, local police and federal agents moved in.
They identified themselves as police, and Eng dropped the bag and tried to run. He made it to the home's backyard before being arrested.
Agents also arrested Amanda Scott, 23, of Pawtucket, R.I.; The Nguyen, 20, of 30 Angle St., Lowell; and Hong Hak, 21, of 220 Fayette St., Lowell.
The four now face a federal complaint in U.S. District Court in Boston charging them with conspiracy to distribute marijuana.
Eng was ordered held pending trial, but the other three were released.
Once those four were in custody, a state search warrant was obtained, and agents and local police searched the home at 55 Dunstable Road. Inside they found another pound of marijuana in the refrigerator's crisper, three marijuana cigarettes near the television and two loaded handguns.
A .40 caliber Smith & Wesson with a destroyed serial number was under a pillow on the bed, and a Ruger P89 was under a cushion of a love seat in the living room, according to an affidavit.
Police also found a money counter, heat sealer and scale, the affidavit said.
Chelmsford Deputy Police Chief Scott Ubele said the marijuana was worth an estimated $250,000, and had likely come from Canada.
He said the drug-smuggling operation was tied to gangs in the Greater Lowell area.
"It's certainly a large network. It's definitely gang-related," Ubele said.
Ubele declined to release the name of the informant — who has not been charged — or the criminal history the four arrested may have. The house at 55 Dunstable Road contains two apartments, and the ownership is under investigation, Ubele said.
All four defendants are due back in court Feb. 7, at 2 p.m.

Learning to conquer her 'yuck factor'
Stacey Price, 40
Nursing is Stacey Price's third profession.
With a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, she was headed toward police work. Then she switched to a career in emergency medical services.
Now, after eight years as a registered nurse, Price has decided to work toward a clinical nurse specialist degree. It will take awhile. She works full time at Loma Linda Medical Center and lives in San Bernardino, where she doubles as a flight nurse for the San Bernardino Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team.
So she attends the University of San Diego part time, driving down on Sunday evenings and staying with a brother to attend classes from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays.
"I like to stay busy," Price said.
The trip to Haiti is her third medical mission. The first was a monthlong stay in Nigeria to teach emergency skills. The second was to the Czech Republic to judge and coach an "EMS Olympics" among eastern European countries.
Despite her background in trauma care, Price's bugaboo was the "yuck factor," and it loomed large at Hôpital Sacré Couer.
In the congested ER tent, while trying to find a vein in a severely dehydrated girl, Price had to work around a woman in a wheelchair whose leg was swollen with filariasis. Fluid from open sores dripped onto the floor. Patients' relatives buzzed about the tent, carrying bed pans outside to empty over the waist-high wire fence.
"Of all the things nurses encounter, phlegm and pus are what I like the least. And what did I encounter doing wound care? … Just that," Price said.
Gloved hands in the air, she swiped away the hanging intravenous tubes with her elbow as she navigated the minefield of plastic buckets of body fluids dotting the ward room floor. Price's eyes never left those of her patients as she smiled and reached for the next wound to be changed. She was conquering the yuck factor.
Price and Jan Kass, a wound-care specialist from Coronado, peeled bandages off necrotic skin and bathed them in a solution. The process was excruciating for patients, who endured the pain without so much as Tylenol. When the nurses finished their work, she said, patients smiled and thanked them.
"These people are amazing," Price said.

|The beneficial effect of vanillic acid on ulcerative colitis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20959795 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Vanillic acid, an oxidized form of vanillin, is a benzoic acid derivative used as a flavoring agent. The objective of this study was to determine whether vanillic acid has beneficial effects against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis. Our results showed that vanillic acid reduced the severity of the clinical signs of DSS-induced colitis, including weight loss and shortening of colon length, and the disease activity index. The results of this study showed that vanillic acid significantly suppressed the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and the activation of transcription nuclear factor-κB p65 in DSS-treated colon tissues. In addition, we observed that the plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6 were higher in the DSS-treated group than in the control group, but these increased levels were reduced by the administration of vanillic acid. Taken together, these findings suggest that vanillic acid has a beneficial effect on DSS-induced ulcerative colitis, thereby indicating its usefulness in the regulation of chronic intestinal inflammation.

I sat the Prontor SVS on top of the computer overnight (about 38C) and then gave it a few operations.
It got progressively worse and now the lower speeds do not work at all, the shutter sticks open while the escapement fails to spin up.
The escapement can be made to complete by flicking the lever but it is sluggish.
I downloaded the Gauthier service manuals. It appears mine is an early model SVS (10 ap blades) and the manual notes a few design problems with that model in the first year and later came several versions of the synchronizer,
reduced number of ap blades, and a cosmetic change for identification.
For problem that my shutter has per above, the manual says "Rinse mechanism in pure petrol (gasoline)."
The shutter is not lubricated (strict note in manual)
Grease is only used on the outer time ring and the diaphagm mechanism.
I can see some grease starting to appear on one of the shutter blades.
I might send it to the guy who did my Nettar shutter.
He ultrasonically cleaned that one and it works OK now.

|Fewer polyps detected by colonoscopy as the day progresses at a Veteran's Administration teaching hospital.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19631284 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND & AIMS: One objective of colonoscopy is to identify and remove polyps-this process requires attention to detail and prolonged concentration. Providers are predisposed to cognitive errors because the procedure is often performed repetitively throughout the day. We measured the adjusted relationship between colonoscopy start time and polyp yield. METHODS: We performed a prospective study of 477 patients that received screening, surveillance, or diagnostic colonoscopies at a Veteran's Administration (VA) teaching hospital. The primary outcome measure was polyp yield. We collected data on colonoscopy start times, which were analyzed both as a dichotomous time period ("early-morning case" vs "later case") and as a continuous variable (start time). We identified significant risk factors using univariate analysis and performed Poisson multivariable regression to measure the independent effect of colonoscopy start time on polyp yield. We evaluated evidence of decreasing polyp yield as the day progressed throughout pre-specified time intervals. RESULTS: In univariate analysis, early-morning cases yielded 27% more polyps per patient than later cases (95% confidence interval, 11%-45%; P < .001). The total numbers of, hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps found decreased hour-by-hour as the day progressed. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that early-morning cases yielded 20% more polyps per patient than later cases (95% confidence interval, 5%-38%; P = .007). CONCLUSIONS: At a VA medical center, more polyps were detected in patients that received colonoscopies early in the morning compared with later in the day. Moreover, adenoma detection reduced as the day progressed. Providers might be most adept at detecting polyps at the beginning of the day; further validation in other practice settings is required.

Baldwin-Whitehall superintendent honored with JA award
Baldwin-Whitehall Superintendent Randal Lutz was selected as the 2013 Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania Educator of the Year.
He is to be honored at a ceremony at 4 p.m. June 27 at the The Westin Convention Center Pittsburgh hotel.
"It's really an honor," Lutz said. "It's a recognition for the district because of the work that so many people around the district do. It's a great organization."
Educators are nominated for the award by school board members, teachers and staff involved with the Junior Achievement program.
Lutz grew up in Baldwin Borough and has held many roles in the school district as teacher, principal and coach. Superintendent for one year, Lutz said his goals are closely related to student growth and high academic achievement.
The district has been a longtime partner with Junior Achievement, but what stuck out was Lutz's support in bringing JA to the refugee community, said Dennis Gilfoyle, local JA president.
This included the involvement of current Pittsburgh University-Greater Allegheny sophomore Diwas Timsina. While at Baldwin, Timsina used his experiences with JA to educate students at Paynter Elementary School. He also was the recipient of the Robert J. Schuler Scholarship for $1,000.
"We've been giving out this award for 11-12 years, maybe even longer," Gilfoyle said. "As the year went on, we were getting multiple nominations from different people for Dr. Lutz. It became pretty clear to us that he was the top choice."

The Bethany Arms Motel is bulldozed to make way for a planned Marriott Residence Inn, with 112 rooms, 115 parking spaces and a 460-person capacity. It is expected to open in spring 2015. / Photo courtesy of Kenneth Olsen
BETHANY BEACH — On April 18, there was still a pencil sharpener laying on the desk inside an office in the Bethany Arms Motel, but the rest of the office and the majority of the motel itself had been bulldozed.
In its second week of demolition, construction excavators had razed all but the north and east wings of the motel, putting the final nail in the coffin over the debate on a new hotel in Bethany Beach.
In August 2013, town officials approved a new zoning district which allowed local developer Jack Burbage to build the new hotel on the site of the former Bethany Arms. While some residents argued the hotel could change the face of The Quiet Resort, three-quarters of residents and property owners approved of the zoning changes in a nonbinding referendum.
Burbages company, Bethany Beach Boardwalk LLC, is still under contract to purchase the property from Bethany Arms owner, Wilbert Powell.
Were settling on those plans in short order, said Todd Burbage a Boardwalk LLC member. Everythings been going smoothly at this point. Theres been no delays and its progressing well.
The planned Marriott Residence Inn, with 112 rooms, 115 parking spaces and a 460-person capacity, is expected to open spring 2015. The developer has not decided whether he will open the hotels spa and pool to Bethany residents during the offseason, as was discussed during a town workshop meeting in November, Todd Burbage said.
Town officials have not discussed the hotel since the November meeting, with the exception of its Non-Residential Design Review Committee. The committee checks the buildings codes, including the size of its parking spaces and its interior design, said Mayor Jack Gordon. Before beginning the hotels piling foundation, Burbage must present his plans to the towns building inspector who will determine if they are complete and will issue a permit.
Resident Betsy Fiore, who had opposed the new hotel, looked on at the demolition during her morning walk and shrugged.
"Its a very big operation and this is a very small town, she said. Theres not much anybody can do about it now. Its been passed, well have to see what happens and if it benefits the town.
Just down the street from the construction site, D.B.s Fries was opening up shop full-time for the season. Manager Kevin McCabe said he was glad to see the hotel on its way.
Hopefully it will help the shoulder season when they have whatever events they might hold in there, he said. We knew the former owners werent going to do too much more.

Grant, scholarship, loan, and employment programs are available from federal, state, college, and private sources.

Families with unusual circumstances should contact the Financial Aid Office to set up an appointment to discuss their situation.

EL PASO -- As a frequent traveler, I'm always on the lookout for lightweight, tasty, healthy snacks for stashing in my carry-on bag. I hit the jackpot with Crispy Green freeze-dried fruit snacks, an outstanding collection of nutritious goodies.
Think of eating crunchy chip-like pieces of pure fruit without worrying about overdosing on calories or carbs (depending on the fruit, calorie count ranges from 35 to 55 per bag.) Improving your diet with added fruit is easy with the available choices: apples, pears, pineapple and bananas.
Fruits go from the orchard to the freezer (without adding sugar) where they're placed in drying chambers. The application of heat and vacuum evaporates water while the fruit remains frozen. The process is completed when more than 99 percent of the fruit's water content has been removed. It usually takes about 10 to 15 pounds of fresh fruit to produce one pound of freeze-dried fruit.
The snacks can be packed in lunches; no mess when eating them right out of the bag. At home, be creative and add Crispy Green fruit slices to yogurt, cereal, salads and more. I added freeze dried apples to a chicken/wine dish (during the last few cooking minutes) and got high approval ratings from my feinschmecker (gourmet) husband.
A new addition to the company's freeze-dried snacks, FruitziO, uses the same process as the Crispy Green line but adds a hint of cane sugar. The added sweetness results in a candy-like snack-- absolutely delicious.
All Crispy Green products are free of preservatives, sulfides, contain no fat or cholesterol and they're gluten- and dairy-free.
Crispy Green and FruitziO products can be ordered from www.amazon.com; three six-pack bundles of Crispy Green fruit (contains 18 individual, 10 gram bags) sells for $20.45. Don't worry about spoilage; the products have a 36-month shelf-life. Amazon's price for a 12-pack of FruitziO (12, 25-gram bags) is $36.40.

Funny Bones, 1929 (5)
What time is it, kiddos? Time for jokes from the old Church magazines, this time from 1929:
A Good Start
Sandy MacTavish got married. He went to Niagara Falls on his honeymoon. While strolling around the Falls he met a friend. After congratulating Sandy, the friend asked, "And where is the little bride, back at the hotel?"
"Oh, no," replied Sandy. "I left her back in Philadelphia. She's seen the Falls."
Hostess (at children's party): "Won't you have another piece of cake, Alice?"
Alice (who had promised mother not to answer "yes"): "Well, the idea is not repugnant to me."
Retort Courteous
A revival was raging in a colored church. The fruits had been considerable. One obdurate soul, however, resisted the efforts of the elder. Called to account for his reluctance, he replied: "You see how it is, Elder. I've got a problem. I don't see how I'm going to get to Glory with my coat over my wings."
"That ain't your problem, retorted the exhorter promptly. "Your problem is how you're going to get your hat on over your horns."
Not Domestic
An "Affinity" is a woman who will cook your goose but not your dinner.
O Henry!
Waiter: "Shall I bring you another egg for that one, sir?"
Diner: "No, this one will lay another pretty soon."
Shaking the Incumbrance
Father: "There was something funny about you last night, daughter."
Offspring: "I know, but I sent him home as early as I could."
Conclusive Evidence
Lady: "Didn't I give you a piece of pie last week?"
Tramp: "Yes, mum, dat was fer a friend o' mine."
Lady: "Absurd."
Tramp: "Yes, it was, lady. See de crepe on me sleeve?"
Artistic Dangers
Lady of House: "Haven't you any trade or profession, my good man?"
Weary Willie: "I was a very fine musician wunst – I played the oboe, but I hurted me eyesight lookin' fer de rests in de music."
Kind Old Gentleman: "What do you call those two kittens, Johnny?"
Small Boy: "I call 'em Tom and Harry."
K.O.G.: "Why don't you name them Cook and Peary, after the great explorers?"
S.B.: "Aw, go on, mister; these ain't pole cats."
He Had Nothing on Mother
"With a single stroke of a brush," said the school teacher, taking his class round the National Gallery, "Joshua Reynolds could change a smiling face to a frowning one."
"So can my mother," said a small boy.
Hot Time in the Old Town
A doctor, walking home late one night saw a fine auto parked outside a cemetery. He hid behind a tree, for he suspected that body-snatchers were at work; and, sure enough, in a few minutes he saw two body-snatchers stagger from the cemetery carrying a body. They placed it upright in the auto, as though it were alive, propping it securely in the back seat, and then they hurried back to the cemetery to fill the violated grave again.
The doctor in their absence lifted the body out of the auto, hid it under a hedge, and took its place himself. Soon the scoundrels returned. One seated himself at the steering wheel and the other seated himself in the back seat, beside the body, so as to support it. Then, in the darkness, they drove off.
After a while the man in the rear seat said in a rather awed tone: "This body seems mighty warm for a corpse."
The chauffeur reached back his hand and touched it. "Don't it, though!" he muttered, between perplexity and fear.
Then the corpse, in deep, sepulchral tones, exclaimed: "Warm? Of course I'm warm. And if you had been where I've been for the last two days, you'd be warm, too!"
With loud yells of horror the body-snatchers leaped from the auto and fled. The doctor took possession of the machine and drove it home. He has it, they say, still.
Missing Nothing
"Harold," asked the teacher, "in the sentence, 'I saw the girl get on the street car,' how many I's would you use?"
"Both of 'em, teacher," replied Harold.
Good Natured
Customer (on Sunday morning): "Give me change for a dime, please."
Druggist: "Sure; and I hope you enjoy the sermon."
"Winifred swears she never has been kissed by a man."
"Well, isn't that enough to make any girl swear?"
Sensitive Touch
Rookie: "I'd like to have a new pair of shoes, sir."
Sergeant: "Are your shoes worn out?"
Rookie: "Worn out?! Man, the bottoms of my shoes are so thin I can step on a dime and tell whether it's heads or tails."
Improve Your Aim
"I see you have a sign in your store, 'We Aim to Please'," remarked the irritated customer.
"Certainly," replied the proprietor, "that is our motto."
"Well," retorted the I.C., "you ought to take a little time off for target practice."
