An MV-22B Osprey flies over the deck of the amphibious assault ship Kearsarge earlier this year. A new land-based ship simulator will allow Marines to train in shipboard operations, such as loading the ship and rappelling from Ospreys and helicopters, without going to sea. (Cpl. Christopher Q. Stone / Marine Corps)
- Filed Under
A new 12,000-square-foot ship on dry ground will allow Marine expeditionary units training aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., to conduct their most realistic special operations certification exercises yet and is expected to save money in the process.
The land-based trainer, the size of a merchant ship at three stories, 40 feet wide by 150 feet long, is expected to open for training in mid-June.
Located outdoors by the shore of the New River at the back end of the base, the three-deck ship will feature a lifelike exterior, minus stern and bow, which can accommodate loading operations and rappelling to deck from MV-22 Ospreys or helicopters.
Designed for use by Lejeune's Marine Special Operations Training Group and Marines, sailors and Coast Guardsmen at its Joint Maritime Training Center, it will facilitate a spectrum of shipboard exercises, including the Visit, Board, Search and Seizure training required for special operations-capable MEUs as part of their pre-deployment workups.
Below deck, the ship will be equipped with ballistic steel featuring rubber covering to prevent ricochet. That will permit shipboard live-fire exercises with real ordnance. Until now, shipboard live-fire training qualification has required a trip to the James River Reserve Fleet in Eustis, Va., where Marines use Special Effects Small Arms Marking Systems ammo akin to paintballs to simulate real shells.
A combination of automated targetry systems and life-size "Mannikin Mikes" will simulate human targets. For other hyper-realistic maritime training exercises, the ship also features:
Watertight hatches.
Knee-knocker passageways designed to be navigated lit and with night-vision goggles.
An engine room complete with authentic faux controls.
Narrow vertical escape trunks through which troops can practice transporting wounded comrades on gurneys.
Several doorframes equipped with replaceable parts so trainees can practice breaching them with a cutting torch.
As budget constraints force unit commanders to scale back on travel, the $8 million trainer is expected to be a cost-saver as well.
"As our budget comes down, home station training is very important," said James Schleining, director of range development and management at Camp Lejeune.
Schleining said the facility is the first of its scope in the Marine Corps.

Kisscut (original 2002; edition 2002)
by Karin Slaughter
Work details
Kisscut by Karin Slaughter (2002)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Kisscut is the second book in Slaughter's Grant Count series and is another excellent book by Karin Slaughter. I am so glad I chose to go back and read the first three of the Grant County series. I highly recommend the entire series.
As much as I liked the first book in this series, I'm starting to think that Slaughter has created one of those towns were everything that possibly could go wrong will and all her characters will have horrible things happen to them over and over. It might seduce some readers into thinking she is a wonderful suspense writer but those of us who appreciate realism to a degree will grow tired of the improbability of a small group of people going through these horrendous events month after month. Don't move to Grant County, GA. You're bound to get killed.
As much as I liked the first book in this series, I'm starting to think that Slaughter has created one of those towns were everything that possibly could go wrong will and all her characters will have horrible things happen to them over and over. It might seduce some readers into thinking she is a wonderful suspense writer but those of us who appreciate realism to a degree will grow tired of the improbability of a small group of people going through these horrendous events month after month. Don't move to Grant County, GA. You're bound to get killed.
Horrific things are going on in Heartsdale, GA that begin when police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver has to kill a thirteen year-old girl in order to save the boy she's threatening to shoot. Finding out how they'd reached that point isn't easy as no one wants to talk, made more disturbing by the things Dr Sara Linton uncovers during the autopsy. Yes, there are some very sick people in this world and rumors are swirling.
Once again the author provides chilling scenarios and gritty details while addressing more than one topic that can make the reader feel uncomfortable. In this case we're talking child pornography, self mutilation and suicide. We not only find out what's going on and how many people are affected by it, but we follow the thoughts and actions of Jeff, Sara and Detective Lena Adams who is still recovering from what took place in the last book.
Jeff and Sara are slowly trying to build a relationship again. Both are united in finding out what's going on. He's wracked with guilt over killing a little girl, wondering if there had been another option. The girl had been Sara's patient and she wonders if she missed some clues, fearing other kids also need to be helped.
Lena isn't doing as well as she'd like others to believe. But she hits rock bottom and with some tough love, we start to see a difference. Lena is not an easy person to like with her gruff, aggressive approach and chip on her shoulder. We do see a different side of her and even if you can't like her, you can appreciate why she makes a good police officer. Have some tissues handy.
One of the things this author does really well is give realistic characters that are most often not truly good or truly bad, but a combination of both; although some do such horrific things that it's sometimes difficult to remember that there were aspects we liked before finding out what they were doing. Some have no redeeming qualities at all and with others you can only hope.
There are times when the story seems to drag a little, although the story is well-written between discovering what's going on as well as building on the personal lives of 3 main characters.
This is 3.5 stars out of 5. I tend to round up rather than down.
I promised a review and here it is, months after reading it! Oops!
Well this book was a lot like the first one. It was harsh, graphic, sadistic, in-depth, smart, long, emotional, spine-chilling and did I mention graphic?
The post mortem results will stay with me forever. It was just... eugh! The author's mind is so creative in a dark way I'm not sure whether to admire her for it or be frightened by it. How does she sleep at night?
The characters again are complex and intriguing. Lena is my favourite and the character I found most irritating too. I just wanted her to snap out of her self-loathing and wallowing and be that bad ass cop she was before. She's so traumatized from her ordeal of the previous book she cannot think straight. She's suicidal and emotionally/psychologically destroyed. Her guardian, whose name escapes me, is there for her when before as she'd been growing up, he'd been an addict she couldn't rely on. She blames him for her late sister becoming blind. Those years of anger towards him, Lena in this book, starts to let him back in again and through her grief and pain he is her rock and the kick up the backside she needs. It's a beautiful and haunting moment when she is about to kill herself and he stands there and says, if you're gonna do it just do it and get it over with, or man up and start to take life by the horns again. Basically, stop wallowing in self-pity and snap out of it. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if she would do it or not.
Sara and Jeffrey are romantic in this novel after a shaky start in the first book. They're rekindling their romance after a horrible divorce due to Jeffrey's infidelity. I like their relationship but at the same time I find it unlikeable. It isn't like the romance you read in a lot of books. The passion and desire. It is there, but it is there in a very realistic form and that to me, can sometimes be unpleasant to read. The embarrassments, the moments where you feel they aren't as passionate or in love with each other as you'd like, and then the misunderstandings/misinterpretations of their actions or words. It was all real and it worked with the genre, considering all the horrific deaths going on, but don't expect mushy or hellfire passion. It's not there.
The criminals are cold and calculating and you won't expect the killers to be who they are. When you do discover more and more what the real dark secret is behind a supposedly unwanted pregnancy, (as if the image of a newborn baby getting flushed down the toilet isn't bad enough) you really feel a sickening coldness in your gut.
But the author doesn't disappoint with her deep, concise and detailed knowledge of forensics, of the police, investigations and the criminal mind. She's very intelligent and knows what she's talking about and it shows in her writing.
The author's titles to her books are true to her story and have a more direct meaning than we would like, so when I discovered the reason behind the title as I was reading I nearly threw up in my mouth. And this book does have a few of these moments where you wince, swallow back bile and take a minute to digest it before you can read on.
Nevertheless I did like it. I didn't like it as much as the first one, I think because I liked Lena's character more then, than now. I wish she'd stop crashing and pick herself back up. She was supposed to be a strong character and in this book, despite all the horrors she has been through, I imagined she'd recover in a more healthier way.
I wanted to give it 4 stars but I'm not sure I can when I think I gave the first book 4. It's still great. No major complaints. So this is 3.5 stars from me.
In the future I'll be onto the next one. It's sat there on my shelf, waiting for me to dive into the dark world that is Karin Slaughter's mind.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060534044, Mass Market Paperback)When police chief Jeffrey Tolliver responds to a disturbance at a local skating rink, the last thing he expects is to have to shoot a 13-year-old girl who's holding a gun on a fellow student. Then Jenny Deaver's autopsy reveals two stunning facts: she did not bear the murdered newborn discovered in the rink's restroom, and she had recently been genitally mutilated. With his ex-wife, pediatrician Sara Linton, Jeffrey uncovers a child sex and pornography ring involving Jenny, her classmates, and their mothers--a horrific enterprise that culminated in the killing that Tolliver will never be able to forget. This taut, chilling thriller showcases Karin Slaughter's skill at plotting, pace, and narrative, and will linger in the reader's mind long after the stunning denouement. This is a terrific sequel to her debut, Blindsighted, with two protagonists whose complex relationship will no doubt be a featured subplot in her next offering. --Jane Adams
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:10:52 -0400)
Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember. But when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton - the town's paediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a horrific tragedy. What seemed at first to be a terrible but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self-mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn. The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. But when a young girl is abducted, it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. And unless Sara and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again...… (more)

DHS news release

General contact: Bonnie Widerburg, 971-673-1282
Program contact: Lorraine Duncan, 971-673-0283
Public health officials promote flu vaccinations
Every year, too many people in Oregon get sick or even die from influenza.
This season, there will be plenty of flu vaccine and public health officials are encouraging people to get their vaccinations.
"We expect a record amount of flu vaccine this year," said Susan Allan, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., state health director in the Oregon Department of Human Services Public Health Division. "There should be enough to immunize everyone who wants to avoid getting sick. And just as important, you should get vaccinated to protect the people you care about, especially if you have close contact with someone in a high risk group."
Oregon has now received more than 400,000 doses of influenza vaccine, compared to just 91,000 at this time last year.
Healthy people between ages 2 and 49 may choose the nasal spray vaccine FluMist as an alternative to the injectable vaccine. Allan said FluMist has been found to be 55 percent more successful than injectable vaccination in protecting children from influenza.
"Each year, more than 20,000 children under age 5 are hospitalized because of the flu and thousands more are taken to emergency rooms or clinics, Allan said. "Now children and many others can be protected without getting a shot. We hope this new form of flu vaccine will encourage parents to protect their children."
Allan emphasized that vaccinations are especially important for people who are at high-risk of complications from influenza. Those groups are:
Protecting loved ones, colleagues and clients from influenza is also important. The following persons are also recommended for immunization:
Because pneumonia is often a severe complication of influenza, Allan advised people age 65 and older or those who have chronic health or lung diseases to ask their health care provider if they should also get a pneumococcal vaccination.
Influenza is characterized by abrupt onset of high fever, headache, sore throat, cough and muscle aches. Unlike other common respiratory illnesses, flu is associated with extreme fatigue and loss of appetite lasting several days.
It is estimated that almost 450 Oregonians die of influenza every year, while nationally flu kills more than 36,000 people every year.
Information on flu vaccination clinic locations and dates can be obtained by calling 1-800-SAFENET or on the Web at the American Lung Association's Flu Clinic Locator.

Portola Coffee Lab to Open Tomorrow
Categories: Now Open, This Caffeinated Orange
|John Gilhooley / OC Weekly
Duggan's coffee ends up all over the county--it's available at the Giant Juggernaut Whole Foods in Tustin, at Layer Cake Bakery, for home delivery, and brewed into beer at Pizza Port and TAPS.
Unfortunately, openings have a way of slipping; construction schedules tend to be vague. For a while, Duggan had a temporary space where he sold beans and sampled coffees, but it wasn't a coffeeshop at all.
The wait is over--according to their Twitter, Portola Coffee Lab will be open tomorrow, Thursday, May 26, in its permanent location in The OC Mart MIX at SoCo Collection, 3313 Hyland Ave. #C, Costa Mesa. The cafe will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
It's located just off the 405 near the IKEA; bicyclists exit the Santa Ana River Trail at MacArthur/Talbert, head east, and make the first right on Hyland. We can't wait to taste the coffee in its new digs.

FALMOUTH -- An East Falmouth man has been sentenced to one year of probation for driving drunk and leaving the scene of an accident in February.
Eric d'Hedouville, 52, was found guilty after a bench trial Tuesday in Falmouth District Court of operating under the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. In addition to his probation, he must complete a driver alcohol education program and pay restitution in an amount yet to be determined.
According to court records, police were alerted to a reckless driver near Central Avenue and Menauhant Road shortly before 8 a.m. Feb. 3. An officer saw a car driven by d'Hedouville operating with a damaged tire and pulled the vehicle over.
The officer saw an empty bottle of Jim Beam in the car, records say, and d'Hedouville had slurred speech. The officer later determined d'Hedouville had hit a sign and utility pole on Menauhant Road before being pulled over.
D'Hedouville was found not guilty of a charge of operating under the influence of drugs and another count of leaving the scene of a property-damage accident and not responsible for a marked lanes violation.

Canada Encouraged by Conduct of Egyptian Vote
May 30, 2014 - Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird today issued the following statement regarding the presidential election in Egypt:
"The conclusion of voting in Egypt's presidential election is a key step along Egypt's path to democracy.
"We are encouraged by early reports that the overall security situation was peaceful throughout the country during the election. Preliminary results indicate the likely winner will be presidential candidate Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. We look forward to the confirmed results of the election.
"Canada is committed to supporting Egypt in making a peaceful and meaningful transition to democracy, based on respect for human rights, freedom and the rule of law. This transition is an important opportunity to give the Egyptian people the stability and prosperity they desire."

Man **** YOU and your ******* chicken restaurant. ***
Rage much?
no calm down your panties on fire it's just a joke.
Why do people who drive SUV's down the street complain about people who smoke on an outdoor patio?
I don't support anywhere selling fast food chicken referring to itself as a "restaurant"

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Oh, sweet jesus, americans will ya get over yerself? Being gay or being religious is not that big a deal. I think yer yanks should get your priorities straight - seriously.
You know, you Americans do tend to think too much of yerselves. Ok, so the other guy is gay while you are a christian? It is not like y'all are gonna hang out in the local pub soon, anyway, but why do ya constantly bicker amongst yerselves when there are bigger issues to address?
Life - and let life, for cryin' out loud.
*Live and let live. Sorry, my bad.
Yer know, it is a stupid discussion anyway. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion and the Right to self determination apply for all, the gays and the christians. It is not like those rights apply only for the christians, but as soon as someone becomes gay those rights no longer apply. I mean, as they say in the old country: Wer A sagt, muss auch B sagen. (Who says A needs to say B). If you call yourself a land where there is liberty and justice for all, where a man can choose what to be, you cannot in return turn around and prosecute him if he makes choices you don't agree with. After all, you don't have to agree with it, these are his choices, anyway.
it has nothing to do with the building. everything to do with the religion behind it.
not at all. i believe in freedom of speech. and i believe that a building or business has nothing to do with Christianity. the owner is a Christian. and has a right to be. the fight is over what he said. as a Christian. liberals don't like Christians.

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism presenting with arhinia: a case report

2 Department of Pediatrics, Section of Genetics, 1200 Children's Way, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA
Journal of Medical Case Reports 2013, 7:52 doi:10.1186/1752-1947-7-52Published: 22 February 2013
Arhinia, congenital absence of the nose, is a rare malformation. We present the third reported case of arhinia accompanied by hypogonadism and demonstrate that this is due to gonadotropin deficiency.
Case presentation
A 13-year-old Caucasian boy with congenital arhinia presented for evaluation of delayed puberty and micropenis. We examined genes known to be associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism for mutations and performed a chromosomal microarray to assess copy number variation.
No mutations in KAL1, FGFR1, PROK2, PROKR2, FGF8, CHD7 and GnRHR were identified in our patient and there were no copy number variations observed that would explain the phenotype. Though studies are limited in such patients, we suggest that hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is associated with arhinia and that the two entities likely result from a common genetic cause that affects early nasal development and gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuron formation or migration.

September 19, 2008
By Chantelle Lusebrink

"It has been an honor and a privilege to be on the board and to work with all the key players that make up the Issaquah School District," Winkler said. "It has all been about the kids and my really strong belief in public education. I made this decision because of a difficult family circumstance. It is the right decision."
Before leaving, Winkler called a variety of school district officials and community leaders to the floor to thank them for their service and dedication to the district. He also gave each a box of chocolates as a parting gift.
Winkler announced his intent to resign from the board June 25. He then cited new work related responsibilities and the desire to spend more time with his family.
Winkler was appointed to the board in 2004 and was re-elected in 2005.
Remaining board members, Jan Woldseth, Suzanne Weaver, Brian Deagle and Connie Fletcher unanimously approved Winkler's resignation.
"It has been a pleasure to work with you all these years," Fletcher said. "I have appreciated your views and your unique perspective. It has been truly valuable."
Deagle thanked Winkler for welcoming him to the board.
"I have appreciated your candor and willingness to forget about how something might play out in terms of public reaction and to say and do what is best for kids," said Deagle.
Board members approved a timeline for filling the vacant board position.

Spring Farro Risotto
Last weekend, Kevin—bless his heart—agreed to do the grocery shopping. We had a really busy weekend, so I jumped at the offer. I also made a ridiculously detailed grocery list. I knew I had a couple things on the list that might be difficult to find, so I included some locational information. But, for some reason, I failed to do so when I listed "fava beans"—treating them more like plain old (easy-to-find) eggs or milk, rather than the spring delicacy that they are. He had no idea whether they were fresh, canned or frozen. No idea what they looked like. No idea that he might have to fight off other foodies at the store who'd also been waiting patiently for favas to make their brief spring appearance.
To Kevin's immense credit, he found the favas. And he scooped up a big handful and proudly presented them to me when I got home. My heart swelled with pride. And, man, was I excited to finally try out this new-to-me ingredient. Well, um, what I didn't realize is that an entire pound of fava pods yields a mere cup of beans. So the handful (five, maybe six pods) Kevin had previously proudly brandished resulted in a scant tablespoon or two of pods. And that was after the double-shucking (first, split open the pods and extract the beans; second, plunge the beans briefly into boiling water, drain and rub off the outer skins—see the top two rows of photos, above) that they require. Apparently, favas not only like to play hard-to-get, but they're high maintenance too. Quite the divas.
(Click "more" for the rest of the story, more photos & the recipe.)
But, ooooh are they good: buttery and delicate and meaty. And brilliantly green, which made them fast friends with the other spring veggies Kevin had harvested at the store: peas and asparagus. A saute of the trio went into an earthy risotto made with farro instead of arborio. The final product was definitely skimpy on favas, but no matter. It was still creamy, comforting and hearty.
Spring Farro Risotto
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup farro (semi-pearled)
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper
1 cup dry white wine
3 to 4 cups chicken stock (if store-bought, choose low-sodium)
1 tablespoon greek yogurt (such as Fage 0%)
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 pound fava beans, hulled*
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal (leaving tips intact and separate)
In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauteeing for several minutes, until the onions are softened. Add the farro, salt and pepper; stir for one minute, being sure to coat the farro with oil. Add the white wine and cook until it's absorbed. Add the chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring occasionally and allowing the farro to absorb the stock between additions. After adding 3 cups of stock, taste the farro. If it's al dente, stop adding stock. If it still has too much of a bite, keep adding stock until it's al dente. Once the farro is done, stir in the tablespoon of yogurt.
In another skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus tips, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the remaining asparagus, peas and favas, stirring for another few minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add the vegetables and parmesan to the farro. Serve warm, with an additional dusting of parmesan and freshly-cracked pepper, if desired.
* To prepare the favas: first, split open the pods and extract the beans; second, plunge the beans briefly into boiling water, drain and cool slightly, and rub off the outer skins.

Looks delicious; love all that green! Farro is currently my favorite grain. And I, too, had the same reaction the first time I shelled fava beans — they're time-consuming, but definitely worth it. Looks great!
- diva@theSugarBar says on April 28 2008 at 12:13 pm:
all my favourite vegetables in one dish! awesome..
- katy says on April 28 2008 at 12:42 pm:
that's really funny — i'm very impressed! my grocery store is definitely not carrying fresh fava beans yet, althought rhubarb just made an appearance last week!
- michelle says on April 28 2008 at 4:05 pm:
this has all my favorite things in one dish. farro? check. asparagus? check. favas? check.
but man, aren't they the biggest fricking pain in the ass? so much protection for so little bean.
- Kevin says on April 28 2008 at 9:22 pm:
Farro risotto sounds pretty interesting.
- Kristin at The Kitchen Sink says on April 29 2008 at 8:57 am:
Amy: Thanks!
Diva: I have trouble picking favorites in the veggie department, but these three are up there.
Katy: I've been seeing rhubarb for a couple weeks. I went on a slight bender a couple weeks back … Here's hoping you see favas soon!
Michelle: "So much protection for so little bean." Well said.
Kevin: You know, I actually think I liked it better than traditional, arborio risotto. The tablespoon of greek yogurt really helped up the creaminess. Give it a try!
- Kari says on April 30 2008 at 7:29 am:
I am making a version of this tonight after being inspired by a recipe from FoodBlogga. However, I wanted to use farro because it is healthier than arborio rice. I found you from Tastespotting.com, which is one of my favorite sights. I love your pictures, and this recipe sounds DELICIOUS. Thanks for the inspiration:)
- Kristin at The Kitchen Sink says on May 04 2008 at 7:01 am:
Kari: Thanks! I hope your risotto was delicious.
- Kasey says on April 16 2009 at 9:47 pm:
Farro is one of my favorite things and this dish looks like spring! I can't wait to try this.
- Sharon says on September 21 2009 at 1:59 pm:
I just featured this recipe in my latest blog post on my website: http://www.shar-on-nutrition. I enjoyed this recipe so much and like having an alternate grain for my risotto so it's that much more healthy! Would love to hear your opinions or suggestions on my blog.
- Stephanie says on February 08 2010 at 12:11 pm:
This is also something I made for my parents and it was AMAZING. I don't like peas and didn't want to go through hulling the fava beans (you lost me there ). So I doubled the asparagus and used white beans. Who knows where I got that, but it turned out great! It was better than regular risotto and so healthy! I had a hard time finding the farro (a helper at Whole Foods was uncharacteristically clueless and we ended up in the health and wellness area) but I'm so happy we were persistent because it was well worth it! I would definitely recommend this recipe.
- Jenn says on April 12 2010 at 12:33 pm:
Hi. this recipe looks great! what would you suggest i substitute for the fava beans?
- Kristin at The Kitchen Sink says on April 12 2010 at 12:39 pm:
Jenn: Thanks! You could try frozen baby lima beans or just omit the favas and bump up the peas and/or asparagus.
- Loretta says on April 13 2010 at 10:10 am:

Updated Wednesday, July 13, 2011 -- 3:27 p.m.
Scenes Of The Flooding Near Levasy
Two inches of rain fell in and around Levasy on Tuesday night, causing increased flooding in the area from the Fire Prairie Creek. The creek has now swamped hundreds of acres of farmland, but the flood waters are not yet threatening any homes or commercial buildings.
Flooding in eastern Jackson County from the creek won't let up until the Missouri River drops substantially -- to about 28 feet -- and stops backing up into the tributary.
The Missouri River has dropped about 5 inches in 48 hours, according to the latest calculations from the National Weather Service (NWS) this morning. At 6:54 a.m. today, the river level near Sibley and Levasy was at 30.46 feet -- down from 30.88 feet at 6:57 a.m. Monday, July 11.
Jackson County Emergency Preparedness Director Mike Curry stressed that the gauges near Napoleon, located in Lafayette County about four miles east of Levasy, tend to provide more accurate readings than those at Sibley. The Napoleon gauges, he said, show the river having dropped only an inch since Monday.
The latest NWS flood warning calls for the Missouri River to be "steady near 30.3 feet" at Sibley through the end of the week. NWS projections on Monday had called for the river to fall slowly to around 30 feet even.
"Although the rain has caused more flooding from Fire Prairie Creek, it hasn't caused the Missouri River to rise," said Curry. "The river is down -- not much, but a little. A week ago, the river rose past 31 feet, so holding 'steady' at around 30.3 feet would be an improvement."
Stock Road, north of Levasy, is closed because, as Jackson County Emergency Preparedness Director Mike Curry has pointed out, it now runs into a lake of flood water.
Stock Road and Ripperger Road north of Levasy remain barricaded. "If you go around the barricades, you're going to drive into a lake," warned Curry.
The NWS emphasizes in its flood warnings, "Do not drive through flowing water. Nearly half of all flood fatalities are vehicle related. As little as six inches of water may cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Two feet of water will carry most vehicles away."
Putting Release Rate In Perspective
The most recent figures from the Army Corps of Engineers indicate the Missouri River seems to be holding steady from Montana, through the Dakotas, into Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. Nearly all of the Corps' gauges along the river's path showed drops of around one-tenth or two-tenths of an inch in water levels from Tuesday into today -- with one exception. The reservoir at the Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, South Dakota was up two-tenths of an inch as the release of water from the dam continues at the record rate of 160,000 cubic feet per second.
At that rate, the Gavins Point Dam is pouring out enough water to fill about 72 million one-gallon jugs every minute.
Missouri River Timeline
Historical Perspective
Unlike in 2007 when this photo was taken in Levasy, the Missouri River so far this summer has not topped the levees in eastern Jackson County. However, unlike in 2007, the Missouri River is expected to remain high and pose a flood threat this entire summer.
Missouri River Record Crests
Near Sibley, Missouri
35.91 Feet July 29, 1993
35.58 Feet July 14, 1951
32.80 Feet May 8, 2007

Tuesday, June 28, 2011
A levee breach near Atchison, Kansas was suspected of causing inaccurate measurements in gages at Atchison and Leavenworth, Kansas. Once more data could be reviewed, the National Weather Service anticipated that river-level projections for the Missouri River and the Kansas River would be revised "upward."
Monday, June 27, 2011
Thunderstorms that swept through the area Sunday night into Monday morning (June 26-27) had little impact on the Missouri River as it flows through eastern Jackson County. At 7:02 Monday morning, the water level near the Sibley and Levasy levees was at 26.8 feet, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Friday, June 24, 2011
The National Weather Service (NWS) did not anticipate the Missouri River's water level near Levasy and Sibley to rise Saturday, June 25. Due to levee breaches Thursday, June 23 in two northwest Missouri counties, river levels fell between Brownville, Nebraska and St. Joseph, Missouri, prompting the NWS to reduce its previous river level projections for June 25. However, the NWS noted any relief down stream from Atchison and Holt counties would only be temporary.
Monday, June 20, 2011
Jackson County officials have been anxiously monitoring conditions along the swollen Missouri River for weeks. Volunteers filled 6,000 sandbags in preparation for potential flooding. On the morning of June 20, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a flood warning that included parts of Jackson County (near Sibley), as well as parts of Platte and Clay counties.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers recommends this booklet, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), to learn more about levees and how to prepare for flood threats. CLICK HERE to download the 17-page "So You Live Behind A Levee" guide.

Arjun Rampal can't show his middle finger
26th Sept 2008 17.30 IST
By Nikhil Kumar
A scene in which Arjun Rampal shows his middle finger to the camera has been chopped from the upcoming film 'EMI'.
In the film, Arjun plays a disc jockey who falls for a gorgeous stunner and makes a commitment only to regret it later when he discovers that the girl is a gold-digger.
While shooting a song, Arjun was to give the count one-two-three with his fingers while seated on a couch with a bunch of beautiful and underdressed blondes. May be it was the effect of being surrounded by welcome distraction, or may be it was his spontaneous reaction, but when the shot was called Arjun did the finger-count in such a way that his middle finger was left standing on the last count.
The choreographed step eventually looked like the middle-finger gesture, the meaning of which - we're absolutely certain - everybody knows.
Knowing that such a gesture will, to say the least, raise some hackles at the Censor board, the director (Saurabh Kabra) decided to delete the scene and replace it with another one in which Arjun is shown with his thumb up.
Now, Kabra can be certain of a thumbs-up from the Censor board as well.
'EMI' tells the story of a loan recovery agent and a number of hapless individuals who have taken loans but can't pay the Emi.
The movie stars Sanjay Dutt , Urmila Matondkar , Ashish Choudhary , Neha Oberoi and Kulbhushan Kharbanda .

The Wild were OK at home, but when they had to leave the comfy confines of Xcel Energy Center, it usually didn't end well.
Advantage Margin: +3
The Wild's struggles on the road were at least partly due to their inability to stay out of the penalty box. Minnesota allowed just 139 power plays at home, but surrendered 167 (and 31 goals) away from the Xcel Energy Center.
Special Teams Goal Margin: -3
The Wild had a top-10 power play (59 goals, 19.1 percent), but hurt themselves badly by allowing a League-high 13 shorthanded goals. No other team allowed more than nine -- the same number the Wild surrendered on the road alone.
Goals by defensemen: 22
There was little offense from the blue line in Minnesota, where Marek Zidlicky and Kim Johnsson (traded to Chicago at the deadline) led the Wild with just 6 goals apiece.
Overtime Record
Total: 10-1-7 • OT: 5-1 • SO: 5-7
The Wild fared much better in games decided in overtime than when they went to a shootout -- especially at home. Minnesota was 3-0 in OT at the Xcel Energy Center, but just 3-4 in shootouts.
Times Scored First: 34 • Record: 24-7-3
The Wild spent most of the season playing from behind. Minnesota matched Edmonton for the second-lowest number of first goals, but was much more effective in turning those goals into victories at home (15-1-2) than on the road (9-6-1).
Best 2009-10 Number: 10-6-0
Minnesota's won-lost record in December, the only month the Wild won more than half of its games. It also was the only month they won more than seven times.
Worst 2009-10 Number: 6-14
Minnesota's record in games decided by three or more goals. The Wild's .300 winning percentage in blowouts was worse than every team other than the Edmonton Oilers (.250).
Minnesota starts the season with a pair of games against Carolina in Helsinki, Finland, but then plays eight of its next 10 at home. The Wild have no road trip longer than four games (but there's one each in November, December, January and March), and they end the season with three of four on the road after a stretch of six in seven at home.

|Increased sensitivity of heat-stressed Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to food-grade antioxidants.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 6753745 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Unheated and heat-stressed Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells were examined for their relative sensitivities to butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), and propyl gallate. Heated cells had significant (P less than or equal to 0.05) increases in sensitivity to 50 micrograms of BHA, 100 micrograms of TBHQ, and 1,000 micrograms of propyl gallate per ml as compared with unheated cells when surface plated on antioxidant-supplemented recovery agar. The rate of increase in size of colonies developed by heated cells was slower than that of unheated cells, and the presence of antioxidants in recovery agar enhanced this effect. Heat-stressed cells also had increased sensitivity to ethanol. Incubation temperatures of 15, 21, 30, and 37 degrees C for enumerating unheated cells had no significant effect on the numbers of colonies formed on unsupplemented recovery agar; however, incorporation of 100 micrograms of BHA, 200 micrograms of TBHQ, or 1,000 micrograms of propyl gallate per ml into agar resulted in significant decreases in the number of colonies formed by heated cells at various incubation temperatures. The detrimental effects of TBHQ and propyl gallate on repair of heat-injured cells are apparently expressed at a temperature higher than that observed for BHA. It is suggested that the adverse effects of antioxidants on repair of heat-injured S. cerevisiae cells may be associated with oxygen availability.

continued Five teaching assistants at various locations
The budget would also curtail the district's bus camera project and call for pricing concessions from its current health care providers.
The 2013-14 budget doesn't just call for cuts. It also seeks the addition of full-day kindergarten. The move will not impact the 2013-14 or 2014-15 budgets, as those costs are covered by the state, according to Assistant Superintendent Dan Bowles.
"Conversion aid will cover the cost of the first two years, about $3.2 million," Bowles told the Star-Review. "After that we'll need a supermajority vote as far as 2015-16 to see if this is something the public still wants to do."
The shift to full-day kindergarten will add 13 regular teachers and two special area teachers.
The budget also calls for the addition of three Academic Intervention Services (AIS) teachers at a cost of $240,000, citing data that suggests North Syracuse's students are at risk for failing state exams.
"Currently, 17 percent of third and fourth grade students are at serious risk of not passing the NYS ELA test. Approximately 37 percent in grades three and four have a 50 percent likelihood of passing the NYS ELA test," the April 22 presentation said. Meanwhile, "20 percent of third and fourth grade students are at serious risk of not passing the NYS Math test. Approximately 37 percent in grades three and four have a 50 percent likelihood of passing the NYS Math test.*
In the wake of the Newtown school shootings, North Syracuse also wants to add a School Resource Officer for the middle, junior and high schools, as well as a social worker to split his or her time between the buildings. SROs are trained by the Onondaga County Sheriff's Department. The addition of four SROs would cost about $80,000. The social worker would cost another $80,000.

|Melrose (parish)
"The town of Melrose is delightfully situated at the north base of the Eildon hills... It has partly the character of an antique dingy place, with narrow thoroughfares and ancient houses, and partly the appearance of a modern, spruce, aspiring seat of population, with elegant and airy edifices; and in both respects it looks in good keeping with its situation, harmonizing partly with the grand antiquities adjacent to it, and partly with the magnificent landscape around it. It has recently, on the whole, undergone much improvement, in consequence of wealthy strangers being attracted to it for occasional or permanent residence." from the Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland, edited by John Marius Wilson, 1868.See also Melrose parish.
Melrose now has its own town website giving lots of information about the modern town, photographs, maps, and also articles about the history of Melrose.
A 19th century account of Melrose town can be read online.
Lots of information on the town's history is contained in Melrose's town website.

It all started when I was watching Race To Witch Mountain. The end credits were on and I picked up my Race To Witch Mountain. There was a tingling in the back of my head. I ignored it as I read my book, but it started getting worse. All of a sudden it was an exploding headache.
I wasn't in my room anymore. I was looking at a destroyed field. It was smoking and their were craters everywhere. Pieces of ships and other electronics were scattered all over the place. Then the scene changed. It wasn't much different but I could hear the sea nearby. I felt the sea moving, pulsing, could feel the current going in and out.
Suddenly I was back in my living room, mouthing the words future. I could feel everything around, particles, thoughts, everything. Then appeared the computer with a list of the top alien outlaws in the universe right on my lap. I knew what I had to do. I dialed thier number. Seth and Sarah, the two alien kids I had met when they crash landed on Earth last month.
"Sarah, it's me, Rhia. Remember, I helped you when you and Seth crashed on Earth." I said, worriedly.
"Oh yeah, I remember. What is wrong?" She asked obviously sensing something wrong.
"Uh, I need to talk to you, privately. Like here on Earth. Meet me at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas."
"Okay. I'll be there as soon as I can. Bye. Seth get ready we've got to go help Rhia." I heard just before she hung up.

Resident of heaven 'owes no taxes'
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 01/23/2012 @ 12:34 pm In Diversions,Front Page,Money | No Comments
(FLORIDATODAY) — A 40-year-old Melbourne man who told IRS agents he was not subject to man's laws but instead was an American national who "resided in the Kingdom of Heaven," pled not guilty this week to charges he filed false tax returns.
Russell P. Gentile also faces one count of obstruction of an IRS agent after a grand jury indicted him.
Gentile was taken into custody Wednesday and had an initial appearance before a U.S. Middle District judge in Orlando hours later. He was released on bond and will have another hearing Feb. 14 on the federal charges.

From the US State Department's website:
The Department of State is pleased to announce the introduction of a redesigned Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA). The CRBA is an official record confirming that a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent acquired U.S. citizenship at birth. […]
Applications for U.S. passports and the redesigned CRBA will also use the title of "parent" as opposed to "mother" and "father." These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child's parents and in recognition of different types of families.
Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, agreed. "It's part of an overall attempt at political correctness to diminish the distinction between men and women and to somehow suggest you don't need both a father and a mother to raise a child successfully," said Jeffress. "(This decision) was made to make homosexual couples feel more comfortable in rearing children."
Jeffress is sort of right. But the distinction that matters for passports isn't just diminished, it's deceased. The purpose of the form, as James Joyner points out, "isn't to trace genealogy but rather to establish legal custody. Indeed, both parents must appear in person, with the child, and present birth certificates and other government documents to demonstrate they have the right to take the child overseas."
It's no longer the case that the parents with the legal right to take a child abroad are necessarily a mother/father pair. Why shouldn't passport forms reflect that reality?
Last July, Elizabeth objected:
Does same sex marriage require that we redefine parenthood — and change the very words we use for all families, all children? Yes.
Well, sure, when you're filling out your child's passport application form, you're pretty much confined to using the form's language choices. Fortunately, approximately 99.9999999% of our lives are spent in activities other than filling out federal forms. Elizabeth's right to use the term "mother' to refer to herself in daily life, in conversation, in newspaper op-eds, and in virtually all of her life that is not spent filling out her child's passport application is absolutely undiminished.
Interestingly, Elizabeth has usually claimed that she's not opposed to the inclusion of same-sex couples and their children in mainstream American life; she just wants to preserve the term "marriage." But this issue has nothing at all to do with the term "marriage" — the form doesn't even ask if the parents are married, afaik.
Will today's children be inspired to grow up and be good Progenitors "A" and "B" for the next generation? Or will it all be a little too vague for them to figure out?
Wow, is this stretching to find a harm. For Elizabeth's argument to make sense, we'd have to believe that what's written on a passport application is an essential part of how we learn to be parents. But here's a secret: I have never once seen the form my parents filled out to apply for my childhood passport. For that matter, many parents never even apply for passports for their children, and yet they somehow muddle along. No one learns how to be a parent by filling out obscure federal forms.
I do see a potential compromise, for passport forms: Rather than using "parent one" and "parent two," the form could have a checkbox next to each parent's name, so people could check "mother" or "father." That way, the words "mother/father" are preserved, and the form can still accurately record the applications of same-sex parents. (Really, there should also be an "other" option, for families in which the child's legal guardian is not the mother or father.)
But I can't imagine that it would satisfy Robert Jeffress. He simply objects to "homosexual couples… rearing children"; as long as same-sex parents have any rights at all, or are acknowledged in any way, Jeffress and his fellow-travelers will object.

HOPKINS COUNTY, KY (10/29/12) – I had the honor of talking to Chief Steve Stoltz with the Madisonville Fire Department last week. I hope to do him and the Fire Department honor on this column.
Steve lived in Hanson when he first heard the alarm. He went and checked it out, liked what he saw, and talked to his wife. This eventually led to him becoming a volunteer fireman at the Hanson Volunteer Fire Department from 1982 until 1988. Steve became chief at that Department from 1984-1988. He then moved on to Madisonville and started as a fire engineer, and then Fire Lieutenant. After that, he took the title of Fire Chief.
The Assistant Fire Chief is John Stewart. John started in 1990 as Engineer, then Lieutenant, and then to his current position as Assistant Chief in 2007.
The Chief said that to become a firefighter you have to be a caring person, level-headed, and a person that can deal with stress. The Fire Department is usually first on-scene, so you never know what you might have to do.
The Fire Engineer leads the firefighters and drives the fire truck. He has to know the streets and make sure that the pumps are ready. He has to make sure that the firefighters have what they need.
Here are some interesting facts about our local Fire Department.
Engine Company consists of one Lieutenant, one Fire Engineer and one Firefighter.
Ladder Company consists of one Captain, one Engineer and two Firefighters.
Each Shift has a Shift Commander/Battalion Chief.
There are 19 Personnel on duty per shift, and three total shifts per day.
It takes 500-800 hours per month to train.
It takes $2500.00 for one person for the turnout gear.
If you take $2500.00 and multiply that by 61, that equals $152,500.00 for turnout gear alone.
The thermal camera to find people in a household is $10,000.00 per camera.
The Madisonville Fire Department has got $1.5 Million in grants in the past 7 years for safety equipment.
There are nine recruits going to take training at Owensboro.
When asked what the most important thing you would like to see done for your Department, Chief Stoltz said he would like to replace the ladder truck at station #4, but it would take over $1 million dollars. For a new truck, it would only take $400,000.00. As much as this sounds, it is important to remember that these are the men that will come to your house when you need them and that go to the schools to teach your kids what to do in fire situations.
They also go to GE and to Land of Frost, as well as all other places in the area and know ahead of time where to turn the power off, where to approach first in case of fires, and much more.
They train day in and day out. They know exactly how to get those fires out fast.
This is why it takes someone that can handle stress to be a firefighter. They have to know what to do when they arrive, despite the severity of what they see.
In closing, remember that these men live next to some of you. They have families too. Say a prayer for each one of them when you go to bed tonight. You never know when or if it will be your home and family that they are coming to save.
God bless each firefighter.
Scott Rogers

There is something comforting and special about an egg salad and how you make it.
Most would agree it should be not drowning in mayo, but shouldn't be dry, either. And what about the eggs? Should they be chopped or grated? You choose. I am from the chopped school. And I put the egg through the egg slicer twice -- once each way -- to do so.
How you season the salad matters, too. You can doctor up any egg salad with herbs and spices from cilantro to cumin to curry. And for crunch, think cornichons and bits of celery. Add a little zip with minced chives or green onions. Spice it up with some hot red pepper sauce. ...

2002 Rolls Royce Park Ward Review
The Rolls Royce Park Ward is hard to beat.
Reviewed by Automotive on
The 2002 Rolls Royce Park Ward is the perfect car for anyone looking for understated and elegant luxury, packaged a world famous car manufacturer. Rolls Royce will always be synonymous with luxury and opulence, and the Park Ward is no exception. If you have always wanted a top of the range, luxury limousine, and if your pockets are deep enough, then you may want to consider this particular Rolls Royce.
The Range
Engines: 5.4-liter V-12
Transmissions: five-speed automatic
Models: Rolls Royce Park Ward
What's New
In 2002, which was the last year of production for the Rolls Royce Park Ward, the car remained unchanged.
The Rolls Royce Park Ward is a massive vehicle. It's around 10 inches longer than a Lincoln Town Car, and its doors are considerably wider. It came in a wide choice of exterior colors, and buyers were able to fully customize their purchase. Each Park Ward was hand-finished; they were even polished by hand. The exterior of the Park Ward is likely to have been polished for at least 10 hours in order to achieve that luxurious mirror finish.
The Rolls Royce Park Ward is fitted with a front and rear double-wishbone suspension system, and it has an adaptive hydraulic damping system that helps to keep this massive car from suffering from too much body roll. In addition, the Rolls Royce Park Ward has an automatic right height control which helps to level the headlamps and manages the weight of luggage and passengers.
The lavish interior of the Park Ward includes automatic climate control with a front and rear temperature control, as well as protective filters. The car is fitted with a park distance control system and a navigation system, as well as a six-disc CD changer that comes complete with a remote control to allow the rear passengers to operate it. There are a total of eight speakers. Picnic tables are included in the front seat backs, a luxurious touch you won't find in most cars.
The passenger and driver's seats are heated, and all are four-way powered and fully adjustable. The driver's seat has memory for four different drivers. The seats are covered in the finest Connolly leather, with bucket seats in the front. The rear seat has a folding armrest in the center, and rear ventilation ducts. There are power mirrors and remote power door locks.
This Rolls Royce has cruise control and a tilt-adjustable steering wheel with audio controls, and the steering wheel has memorized settings. There are front and rear cup holders, and storage on the front seat backs, as well as storage in the front console.
The interior was fully customizable, including a choice of the finest leathers and woods available, as well as Wilton wool carpeting. In addition Rolls Royce is remarkable for being one of the few companies around that will happily create special colors for customers.
Performance & Handling
The 2002 Rolls Royce Park Ward is powered by a 5.4-liter, V-12 engine that produces 322 horsepower. The car is fitted with a five-speed automatic transmission that is made by BMW. The car weighs 5,400 pounds and is rear-wheel drive. In spite of its huge weight, this car is supposed to be able to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hours in just seven seconds. Whether or not it can is debatable, but one thing for sure is that it's hardly the kind of car you buy for its speed.
Safety features for the Rolls Royce Park Ward include headlamps which come on at dusk, and which have an auto delay once the engine is shut off. There are two headrests in the front and two headrests in the back, and all are fully adjustable. The car is fitted with stability control and an electronic brake force distribution system.

In our new Get the Look series, we'll be looking at how stars style their bags to get some inspiration for putting things together from our own closets, starting with Reese Witherspoon and her Chloe Paraty Bag. It's hard to imagine a more perfect outfit for transitioning seamlessly into slightly warmer spring weather.

There is a lot of growing happening in these parts. Yesterday's annual Mayfair street festival in Harvard Square included an urban agricultural component called "Get Growing!" which we felt lucky to be a part of. As I've written before, my five-year-old is passionate about "pod-picking," or helping rid the city of Black Swallow-wort pods, an invasive weed that imitates milkweed thus confusing Monarch butterflies who lay their ill-fated eggs there. The organizer of the urban agricultural fair appreciates my daughter's passion and solicited her help in spreading the word about these pesky plants at yesterday's festival.
In addition to education on invasive plant species, the urban agricultural fair featured many inspiring resources to create and enhance one's own urban homestead. I am fantasizing about beekeeping, backyard chicken pens, and all of the luscious food we could grow if only we had an ounce of sunlight in our shared backyard, darkened by an old, towering, beautiful pine tree. While bees and chickens will likely remain fantasies while we share a homestead with five other families in our city condo building, the growing part of homesteading is so captivating and realistic, even on the very small scale of our container garden on the back deck. It seems we can't pass a nursery these days without purchasing just one more seedling of parsley, which my five-year-old devours in the mini-salads she creates from our modest herb garden.
The Urban Homestead: Your Guide to Self-Sufficient Living in the Heart of the City, by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen. Brimming with ideas for returning our homes to units of production instead of only consumption, the book tackles simple steps (like composting and using raised garden beds), and more ambitious projects (like chicken and bee-keeping), revisits the homemaking arts of preserving foods and making yogurts and cheeses and butter, and offers strategies for producing one's own energy on an urban homestead.
I can't help but get excited by the whole idea of urban homesteading, of (re)discovering the many ways to produce more within and from our homes (aside from carbon), and in so doing reconnecting more deeply with nature, food, and family. I find it remarkable how much we are truly able to accomplish in our homes, how self-sufficient we can be, when we make the decision to rely less on factories and more on ourselves.
