A fireplace or wood stove can add beauty, ambiance and warmth to your home or outdoor area. Before choosing which to install, there are a few things to consider in terms of cost and heating efficiency. Here are some factors that might influence which type you decide to install and what you are willing to pay for fireplace or wood stove installation.
Fireplace TypesIs your fireplace brick? Stone? Concrete? What type of fireplace you choose to install is the single largest factor in determining price. If you choose to build a new fireplace and want it to be stone or brick, that will require the work of a mason to do the stone and bricklaying in addition to the contractor doing the fireplace install. You may not want a wood-burning fireplace but a gas or electric fireplace insert placed inside a more classic-looking facade.
If you want a wood stove you have many of the same decisions in terms of wood-burning, pellet or gas as you would for a fireplace. While a wood-burning stove would not require the same masonry work as a stone or brick fireplace, it does require a fire-resistant base of some type to rest on, whether it is brick, tile, stone or cement. Which material you choose and how elaborately you want to embellish or style it will add to the cost of installation.
Outdoor versus Indoor FireplacesOutdoor fireplaces are much like indoor fireplaces except on a patio or in the yard. They will still need a chimney or piping if they are powered by natural gas. Homeowners will need to measure the square footage area to determine the fireplace size, whether it is near a dining area or an independent space away from the patio for cool nights. There are different fuel types to choose from, including wood, gas, propane or electricity. For any of these, you will need to consider the added pieces for installation. With wood, you will need a chimney, whereas with other types of fuel you might need to dig up the lawn a little. Gas can hook into a town line, and propane can be independently fueled with a tank. The hardest one is potentially the electrical fireplace, depending on where the fireplace is installed outside.
However, outdoor fireplaces are a great amenity gaining popularity. They cost less–a fraction of the $200 per square foot required for indoor fireplaces–according to fireplace contractors. Also these fireplaces allow homeowners to enjoy their backyards longer into the fall season by keeping them warm as opposed to huddling inside and looking at the yard through a window.
Another option for homeowners is an indoor/outdoor fireplace, which provides heat on the inside and outside of the home. Homeowners can either have one installed into the wall of their home–which involves going through drywall–or they can have a portable one. They are easy to mount to the wall, movable, affordable and using clean fuel for energy efficiency. While they aren't as ambient as a real fireplace and do not last as long as a bigger fireplace, it is a good option for homeowners who might not want to build a whole outdoor fireplace.
Wood Stoves
Wood Stove TypesHomeowners have two different types of wood stoves to choose from: standalone and inserts.
Standalone wood stoves can vent through a chimney made for wood-burning fireplaces, if they can match the height and position of the previous fireplace. It might be best to have a fireplace installer come out to help with the square footage measurements and safety regulations before picking out a wood stove. Standalone stoves must be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and their BTU rating will tell you how much heat they create, in case you need one for a particularly cold room.
Standalone stoves will either have catalytic or non-catalytic combustors, which help to circulate the smoke and burn it again to increase energy efficiency and decrease how much debris is left behind. However this combustor does need to be replaced every two to three years, which might be an added cost that homeowners don�t want to have.
Wood stoves will either be made of cast iron, steel or stone. They are similar to pellet stoves, except for the fact that pellet stoves burn fuel that�s renewable whereas wood burning stoves use wood or wood pellets.
Wood Stove InsertsWhen installing a wood stove insert in a fireplace, it must be smaller and the flue must be bigger. Having a bigger flue means the vent can more easily push out the debris from smoke and avoid chimney fires. This is also known as creosote, which is brown or black debris left behind from chimney smoke.
Installing a wood stove or hearth stove, as it is also called, into the fireplace is best done with a stainless steel liner from the stove to the chimney. It is efficient and makes it easier for homeowners to sweep away debris from wood and inspect for any problems. Wood stove inserts come in a wide variety of types–same as their standalone counterparts–and should match the fireplace itself for the best results.
VentilationWith every fireplace or wood stove installation you need to choose whether your unit will be vented or unvented. Adding vents and ductwork can add a great deal to your fireplace or wood stove installation, but not every home or every unit needs venting. There are also a number of different types of vents ranging from direct venting where the fireplace vents directly through the wall, to the need for more elaborate ductwork to be installed. Talk to your installation professional about which venting solution works the best in your home.
Energy SavingsEven though you could spend a lot of money on top of line fireplace or wood stove, it is good to keep in mind that, especially for the more modern stoves on the market, the higher cost usually represents more power required to heat your home. Luckily recent innovations in heating technology have allowed for new wood stoves and fireplaces that don�t require as much fuel for a lot of heat, which could cut down on how much you spend on heating every month.

Small space gardens can be just as beautiful and productive as large yards. There are just few extra things to consider when container gardening. Below are a few tips to help you get started and some links to our blogs with more ideas to make your container garden a success.
Your container soil is really important. If you're having a hard time choosing, pick one that is labeled for containers. It will hold the right amount of water, nutrients, and air to ensure the best possible plants.
Plan your container according to the size of plants you want to put in it. Even plants in containers need room to grow. Plants that don't have to fight with each other for their necessities tend to perform better in the long run. Want to use a really big container but don't want to use tons of soil? Turn over a plastic or clay pot in the bottom to displace some of the soil. You'll save on soil and water, and your container will weigh less, too.
Water and Fertilizer
Containers that are really full, very small, or in sunny and windy places will need water more often. Time your watering so that your plants are fully hydrated before the sun hits them. These plants will be better able to withstand the rigors of life in a pot.
Container plants need regular feeding. You can add a sustained-release fertilizer that may feed for much of the season or add soluble fertilizer to your water.
Get educated!

ROCKFORD — The state plan to close Singer Mental Health Center has plenty of critics, but others are working behind the scenes to create a transition plan that helps direct where some patients with serious mental illness will go for treatment.
ROCKFORD — The state plan to close Singer Mental Health Center has plenty of critics, but others are working behind the scenes to create a transition plan that helps direct where some patients with serious mental illness will go for treatment.
Singer first hit the state's chopping block last fall, during a budget battle between Gov. Pat Quinn and state legislators. Even though the center received a temporary reprieve, longtime employees say vacant staff positions have gone unfilled and the patient census has been lowered so it will be easier to close the doors by the state's Oct. 31 deadline.
Agency leaders from Rockford, Freeport, DeKalb and Dixon are meeting weekly to craft a plan to address Singer's closure. As of now, that plan includes adding crisis and triage beds in the region so more patients can access emergency psychiatric services.
Closing Singer presents a policy shift for Illinois, because it would mean the state would only directly care for court-mandated patients and instead lean on community help in treating the seriously mentally ill. But considering the state's track record with late payments, there's concern that if state funds don't come through to increase community services, the burden of caring for people in psychiatric crisis will fall on local hospitals and police departments — inevitably increasing costs for taxpayers.
"The state made it very clear that it wants to get out of the mental health business, but the problem is you can't," said Linda Kobler, a registered nurse who's worked at Singer for 40 years. Singer "could be a state model. I think treating the least of us is the state's responsibility, and that's what they need to be doing."
'They've gotten the message'
Quinn's ultimate goal is to move patients out of state-run institutions and into community care for mental health and substance abuse treatment, said Januari Smith, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Human Services, which oversees Singer.
"Treating individuals with mental health conditions in their communities is more therapeutic, cost-effective and can improve recovery times," Smith said in a statement. "Rebalancing our approach to the delivery of mental health services will create care that is more recovery-oriented, driven by an individual's needs and better integrated with other human service supports, all at a lower cost to the state."
The state's latest plan fits national efforts to move patients out of state-run institutions and into community settings, a trend that started in the 1960s when Singer first opened.
Singer today is certified for 76 beds, but its daily capacity set by the state has been 40 to 50 patients as of late. The average length of stay for a patient is about 25 days, and it draws patients from more than 20 counties, stretching south to Peoria and west to the Iowa border.
Page 2 of 4 - Remaining court-ordered patients — found mentally unfit to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity — likely will be transferred from Singer to secure mental health centers in Elgin or Chicago later this year. Some of those facilities have waiting lists, and Singer often takes their overflow; capacity may need to be added to those centers.
Smith said all patients will be evaluated to find the most appropriate place for transfer.
It's unlikely at this point that a private entity would buy Singer and keep it open, which was a rumored possibility and a plan still supported by some mental health advocates.
Rosecrance Health Network — which provides addiction and mental health treatment — researched the idea of buying Singer, but President and CEO Phil Eaton said Singer has too much space and renovating the facility would be too costly.
Eaton and leaders of Stepping Stones of Rockford Inc., the Ben Gordon Center in DeKalb, Sinnissippi Centers in Dixon and Freeport Health Network have crafted an initial plan that calls for adding crisis residential beds where patients would stay for a maximum of 14 days before being transitioned to places like supportive housing.
The plan would also create a triage center from 4 p.m. to 9 a.m. so patients wouldn't have to stay in hospital emergency rooms while they're being stabilized. Eaton said officials are researching possible sites for both projects.
Stepping Stones also could expand its housing capabilities.
Eaton said Rosecrance and other agencies have had a difficult time accessing Singer since last summer because of the low patient count. But he said he's encouraged by the state asking for input from local experts on a transition plan.
"That they're asking us — the guys working with these folks day in and day out — what we feel, I think that means they've gotten the message loud and clear," Eaton said. "I do believe that the governor is committed to having a plan. And I'm strongly encouraged by that and believe they will allocate sufficient resources."
Singer as part of plan
Singer employees and advocates — like Dick Kunnert, who worked at Singer for 30 years and spent more than a decade as its superintendent — support keeping Singer open and using the facility in conjunction with community agencies.
"You need an array of services to support people suffering from serious mental illness," Kunnert said. "As long as that continues to be broken, the state and the community do not have a capacity to really help people recover."
Kunnert is concerned that the state won't adequately fund community services for the patients who can be transitioned out of Singer and remain in the local community. Singer has a budget of nearly $14 million, and it's unclear how much of that money will stay in the community.
Page 3 of 4 - Mike Butterworth, who's worked in Singer's business office for about a year, said the state will be burdened by absorbing patients from Singer and Tinley Park Mental Health Center — also set to close this year, although it's been in the process of closing for several years. Rockford could be a model for the rest of the country by adopting a hybrid program that keeps Singer open, said Linda Flemming, a retired mental health technician who worked at Singer for 28 years.
"But shuttering the doors and then figuring it out is not the way to do it," Flemming said. "Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to see a continuity of care that's never really been formulated in this state? ... The patients become the pawn in the middle of this. And what about the little counties between us and Peoria that have no resources?"
Kunnert said proposals to bring more crisis and triage beds to town are good because that's what Singer can't do now because of its limited capacity. He said any agency that took over Singer would need funding help because the facility isn't built to run as a private concern — the heating and cooling costs alone would be very high because the facility has more than 300,000 square feet of space.
"There's simply not the money around to do that," Kunnert said. "The facility would need a subsidy to carry out the work. It could be a beautiful thing for the community, but it's not going to pan out in this environment.
"The hard part is that we know what should be done. It's a tragic thing to have that kind of knowledge around and even the expertise to do it and not get it done. That's what has tragically happened to the budget within Illinois."
Worries at jail, hospital
Closing Singer will burden facilities, including the Winnebago County Jail, which has a daily inmate population of about 1,000.
"We struggle to keep our heads above water with corrections," Winnebago County Sheriff Dick Meyers said. "We have a good, clean, well-run facility. But it's not a facility for people in need of mental health treatment."
Jail Supervisor Andrea Tack said at any given time, up to 15 percent of the jail population requires mental health services. The jail has a 22-bed mental health unit for male inmates, and a 27-bed unit for females for both medical and mental health needs.
Those beds are typically full, and Rosecrance has staff in the jail to work with inmates.
Meyers and Tack would like to see Singer stay open and used somehow, even if the setup is different.
"It's a shame to shut down a facility when the need is so great," Tack said. "The dollars will still be spent to house people somewhere, and that will be here in the jail. Taxpayers will foot the bill for it one way or another."
Page 4 of 4 - Local hospitals are already preparing for the influx of patients likely to visit emergency rooms for psychiatric treatment.
SwedishAmerican Hospital's emergency room sees about 500 psychiatric patients a month, said Chad Thompson, director of emergency services. Some patients are admitted for inpatient care, others are transferred to places like Singer because of the severity of their illnesses.
The hospital has 20 beds for adults and a dozen for juveniles who need behavioral health treatment. The goal is to move patients out of the emergency room after six hours or less, but Thompson said it's not uncommon for people to stay there for several days because beds aren't available.
Rockford Memorial Hospital has 12 inpatient behavioral health beds for adults. Closing Singer means the hospital will see a greater demand for services, said Dr. Carolyn Bengston, vice president of utilization management.
"We keep our unit fairly full, so this may mean we can't serve the region as much, and we'll be less likely to have beds to accommodate the need," Bengston said. "That means we'll be more likely to see more patients in the emergency room."
The hospital recently converted two of the rooms inside the emergency department for behavioral health use. That meant moving some equipment so patients can't access items to harm themselves or others.
Bengston said the hospital needed those rooms, but the change was also in response to market changes like the possibility of Singer closing. She said it's been difficult to get patients into Singer for a long time.
The hospital is licensed for 20 adult behavioral health beds, so there's a possibility it could create space for more patients if staff is available.
"Our attitude has been the state will do what it will do, and we need to be prepared either way," Bengston said. "It is a conundrum for us."

He said yes. It's a good little movie starring William H. Macy and Laura dern, produced by Robert A. Miller and Michael Bloomberg (yes, Mayor Of NYC) and directed by Neal Slavin. My other movie, all mine, was based on Eichmann's trial in Israel when he confessed of a clash he had with Himmler over Himmler's secretive dealing with Manfred Weiss and his Hungarian heavy machinery factories. This piece exits in theatrical play format, but I fear the director rather botched my screenplay by rewriting (for want of a verb) it himself.

Alicia Sullivan smiles from the front row during St. Clair County Community College's commencement at McMorran Arena in Port Huron.
- Filed Under
Before we assess its viability, let's take a moment to appreciate the premise of the pay-it-forward tuition plan: The chance to attend college for free.
The idea bears a resonance that is nearly deafening - to students burdened with the soaring cost of college tuition and student loan debt and parents who often share that liability.
Nothing is free, of course. But a plan introduced in the Michigan Legislature proposes to change the way students and parents pay for college education in a way that could be considered revolutionary.
Its author, state Rep. David Knezek, D-Dearborn Heights, wants students to attend college without paying its costs until they graduate. They must agree to pay part of their post-graduate income to a special fund that covers college costs for other students.
The formula would be five years for each year they attend college. University grads would pay 4 percent of their income for 20 years. Community college grads would pay 2 percent for 10 years.
"The goal is to remove every financial barrier to higher education," Knezek said.
If his idea works, it could deliver a tremendous measure of relief to students and their families. College cost increases since 2000 have consistently surpassed the inflation rate. The average student debt load was $29,400 in 2012.
At least 20 states are exploring pay-it-forward, but Michigan would be the first to give it a try. The pilot plan would set up a $2 million fund for 200 students, whose annual household income is below $250,000.
A leading challenge, though, is buy-in. A graduate who lands a job with a six-figure income might pass on the program because he or she would repay far more than a graduate who earns significantly less.
If it's approved, the pilot program would have to work out such problems.
But its appeal is difficult to overstate. With it, the cost of a college would receive tangible relief.

Horrible Bosses (2011)
Horrible Bosses SynopsisManagement candidate Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) has been logging 12-hour days and eating everything his twisted supervisor Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey) dishes out, toward the promise of a well-earned promotion. But now he knows that's never going to happen. Meanwhile, dental assistant Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) has been struggling to maintain his self-respect against the relentless X-rated advances of Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S. (Jennifer Aniston), when she suddenly turns up the heat. And accountant Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) has just learned that his company's corrupt new owner, Bobby Pellit (Colin Farrell), is not only bent on ruining his career but plans to funnel toxic waste into an unsuspecting population.
What can you do when your boss is a psycho, a man-eater or a total tool?
Quitting is not an option. These monsters must be stopped. So, on the strength of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con whose street cred is priced on a sliding scale (Jamie Foxx), the guys devise a convoluted but foolproof plan to rid the world of their respective employers... permanently.
But even the best-laid plans are only as good as the brains behind them.

Jason Bateman Admits People Weren't Exactly Clamoring For Horrible Bosses 2
Compared to its predecessor, Horrible Bosses 2 did supremely poorly at the box office.

Original Writers Brought Back To Write A Horrible Bosses Sequel
I really hope that that they don't pull a Hangover Part II and try and get away with making the same film twice. After what transpired in the first movie, it's hard to imagine that the top-billed trio would ever try killing their bosses again, meaning that it would be betraying the characters right from the start. I would also really like to see them bring back Bob Newhart as Jason Bateman's sadistic new boss, but I would understand if that's not doable.

Red Band Trailer For Horrible Bosses
When you think about it, running green band trailers for an R-rated movie doesn't make a lot of sense. Considering that anyone that isn't age appropriate won't be allowed to buy tickets, why both advertising for the younger crowd by censoring your movie? When studios start cutting out curse words and picking alternate scenes, especially when it comes to comedies, they are handicapping themselves by a) showing off their product in an inaccurate light and b) not showing the best stuff they can.

Family and friends of a Carlsbad man who lost his life on a Texas highway last week are asking for the community's help in raising money for his funeral.
Johnathan Garcia, 28, lived on Mountain View Street and was a fun-loving person who brightened everyone's day, according to his family members. He was a father of four and was planning a Christmas Eve wedding with his girlfriend of four years, Louisa Urquidez.
Urquidez said she and Garcia were preparing to move to Las Cruces, where Garcia was to attend New Mexico State University. The couple, along with Urquidez's father, was making the return trip from Las Cruces to Carlsbad on the night of May 25, after having moved some of their belongings into their new house, Urquidez said. According to Texas State Police Trooper Elizabeth Barney, the 1999 Chevy Suburban Garcia and Urquidez were riding in suffered a blow out to the right rear tire near mile marker 81 on U.S. 62-180, causing the car and the trailer it was pulling to roll over.
Based on the accident report, Barney said Garcia stepped into the roadway to call for help using his cellphone. Dan Lewis, the driver of a 2013 Ford F150 traveling eastbound, reportedly did not see Garcia and hit him. Barney said Garcia was struck a second time by a pick-up truck traveling behind the Ford.
"This was a pretty horrible incident," Barney said.
Urquidez said Border Patrol personnel were the first to arrive on the scene, but because of their location - Hudspeth County - it was a while before any help arrived. In addition to mourning Garcia's death, his family has had to worry about the finances of everything that came as a result of the tragic incident last week. Urquidez said Garcia's aunt paid to have his body transported to Carlsbad from Texas, but financial help is still needed to cover funeral costs. The family has set up an account at Carlsbad National Bank for those interested in helping by donating.
Garcia was perhaps best known around town for his skills as a tattoo artist. He worked as a roustabout for Mesquite Services and Roadrunners, Urquidez said, but he did tattooing as a hobby. At NMSU, he was planning to get a certificate in tattoo artistry while also studying for a career in welding.
The last week of reflecting on Garcia's life has reminded Urquidez of the time she "almost lost him" in March 2010, she said. He was shot in the abdomen outside the Post Time Saloon and airlifted to Lubbock, Texas, for surgery.
Urquidez said during Garcia's time of recovery, her daughter Janessa Methola had surgery for a heart condition, and Garcia checked himself out of the hospital early to be there for the little girl when she woke up.
With tears in her voice, Urquidez said that proved what kind of father and man he was.
"He was an amazing person, and he's going to be deeply missed and loved," she said.

Fort Collins New Belgium Brewing Co. is rolling out new beer labels and moving away from the iconic hand-painted designs from the founders neighbor.
For the past 22 years, the brewerys bottled beers have featured labels from founder Kim Jordans Fort Collins neighbor, Ann Fitch. The new labels, which brewery officials call fresh and contemporary, will first roll out in Ohio later this year before spreading to the rest of the brewerys distribution chain.
This colorful, handcrafted look has been with us since our inception and the new design brings the portfolio together in a fresh and contemporary way, said Josh Holstrom, New Belgiums strategic marketing and branding director. We feel these designs will delight our long time fans while also inviting new folks into the fold.
The new design, created by Hatch Design of San Francisco and featuring illustrations by Boston-based artist Leah Giberson, will appear on all brands and packages. Brewing officials said the new designs reimagine New Belgiums iconic and playful watercolor imagery from the past 22 years through a modern lens.

Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle.
- Filed Under
Here are 10 items of interest for today's game:
1. Different paths
The Boilermakers bring a three-game winning streak into the program's second straight bowl appearance. The Cowboys have lost two straight.
2. Interim coach/new coach
Danny Hope was fired after four seasons Nov. 25, and receivers coach Patrick Higgins was named interim coach. New head coach - Darrell Hazell - will be in attendance.
3. Team ACL
Purdue's Robert Marve, Ralph Bolden, Rob Henry, Brandon Cottom - who have suffered a total eight ACL injuries - have combined for 1,173 yards in the last three games.
4. High-powered offense
In the national rankings, Oklahoma State ranks fourth in scoring (44.7), fifth in total offense (548.9 yards) and seventh in passing offense (333.4 yards).
5. New Year results
The Boilermakers are 0-3 in bowl games played on New Year's Day. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State is playing on Jan. 1 for the first time since 1949 when it was known as Oklahoma A&M.
6. Playmakers
Big 12 Conference leading rusher Joseph Randle, who has gained 1,351 yards, and receiver Josh Stewart, who has 96 receptions, are the Cowboys' top targets.
7. Quarterback play
Marve has been nothing short of brilliant the last three games. Oklahoma State has used three different quarterbacks because of injuries, but will start junior Clint Chelf.
8. Getting pressure
The Cowboys have allowed only 10 sacks in 461 passing attempts.
9. Ground attack
Behind Akeem Shavers and Ralph Bolden, the Boilermakers have rushed for more than 200 yards in two of the last three games. Purdue is 14-1 the last four seasons when gaining more than 200 yards on the ground.
10. Remember the Alamo
To cap Joe Tiller's first season, the Boilermakers beat the Cowboys 33-20 in the 1997 Alamo Bowl in the only meeting between the schools.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- San Luis Obispo County residents who suffered losses due to the San Simeon earthquake and have not yet applied for federal disaster assistance have only one more week to apply. Monday, March 15 is the last day to file applications for most disaster assistance programs, according to officials of federal and state disaster-recovery agencies.
These agencies include the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES), and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
"Anyone who experienced any earthquake damage should register for assistance right away," said Dallas Jones, OES director and state coordinating officer for the earthquake disaster. "OES, FEMA, and SBA want to make sure everyone in San Luis Obispo County who was affected by the earthquake registers so they can receive the assistance they are eligible for under the law."
To register, individuals can call the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) toll-free registration number: 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). Those with hearing or speech impairments can register by calling 1-800-462-7585. The telephone numbers are operational from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (PST), Monday through Friday. Residents already registered for disaster assistance with FEMA can call those numbers to update their FEMA application if necessary.
Applicants may qualify for assistance under several federal and state programs. These include temporary disaster housing assistance; U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) low-interest, disaster loans for homeowners, renters, and businesses of all sizes; and grants to meet disaster-related needs not covered by other programs or insurance.
After registering by telephone, applicants can receive face-to-face assistance at a Disaster Recovery Center located at the Mid-State Fair Grounds, 2198 Riverside Ave., Paso Robles, through Monday, March 15. Its hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, March 6; and 9 a.m. to 12 noon, Saturday, March 13.
"You must register before March 15," said Federal Coordinating Officer Peter Martinasco of FEMA. "But even after the March 15 deadline, if you have questions about your application, FEMA will still be just a telephone call away. The toll-free teleregistration number will remain in operation as the Helpline throughout the year."
FEMA and state disaster assistance covers basic needs only and will not normally compensate for an individual's entire loss. For applicants and business owners who have insurance, FEMA and state programs may help pay for basic needs not covered by an insurance policy. Residents should contact their insurance agents in addition to calling the FEMA registration number. Some disaster aid does not have to be paid back, while other forms of help may come in the form of low-interest loans from the SBA.
OES coordinates overall state agency response to major disasters in support of local government. The office is responsible for ensuring California's readiness to respond to and recover from natural, manmade and war-caused emergencies and for assisting local governments in their emergency preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery efforts.
SBA is the federal government's primary source of money for the long-term rebuilding of disaster-damaged private property. SBA helps homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes, and private non-profit organizations fund repairs or rebuilding efforts, and cover the cost of replacing lost or disaster-damaged personal property. These disaster loans cover uninsured and uncompensated losses and do not duplicate benefits of other agencies or organizations.

The ISS Group are pleased to announce the UK availability of the latest microanalysis technology from Thermo Scientific: the NORAN System SIX, the simplest instrument on the market to get microscopists to their final answer in the shortest possible time.
The NORAN System SIX includes a set of tools exclusively designed for Spectral Imaging data. These include automated acquisition parameters which eliminate guesswork and trial-and-error data collection. Quantitative X-ray mapping produces richer elemental distribution data while COMPASS multivariate statistical analysis software produces "pure" components. Other software components include Xphase which analyzes X-ray data to produce phase distributions and Spectral Match which matches spectral data with known alloys and compounds.
Combining these tools provides a comprehensive analysis of the sample's composition, not just in terms of elemental distribution (x-ray maps), but as a complete representation of the sample's composition including the identification of compounds and alloys.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, re-elected to a fifth term last week, has cemented herself as a leader in the Republican caucus that controls the U.S. House. She is in a position to make the concerns of her congressional district, which stretches from Walla Walla to the Canadian border, heard.
But, more importantly, McMorris Rodgers of Spokane has a major influence on the future of America.
And the one issue that's on the minds of Americans from Main Street to Wall Street is whether Congress and the president can reach a compromise to avoid economic disaster. The focus is on whether to continue the Bush-era tax cuts about to expire and make changes to automatic spending cuts scheduled to kick in next year. If no deal can be reached between President Obama, the Democratic Senate and the Republican House, it is predicted the nation will tumble off a fiscal cliff back into a recession or worse.
Republican and Democratic leadership have been unbending in their approach.
The impasse starts with Republican demands that the Bush tax cuts be maintained for all income levels and continues with Democrats insisting the tax breaks be kept only for those making less than $250,000 a year. The differences don't end there. Republicans want to see spending reduced faster than Democrats want.
McMorris Rodgers has held a firm, fiscally conservative line. She has railed against government bailouts and stimulus programs. She makes some strong points and her voice, as well as the voices of other conservatives, have been important to the debate. We agree America can't keep spending more than it collects in taxes.
But McMorris Rodgers, as a leader in the majority party, cannot ensconce herself in conservative ideology. She must take a pragmatic, long-term view to find a way to break the gridlock that's crippling Congress (and that could cripple the nation). So, too, must House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
The same goes for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other liberals in the Democrat-controlled Senate and President Obama.
The U.S. economy has been steadily getting stronger after going off the rails about four years ago. Now is not the time for political ideologues to play a game of political chicken that could result in jobs being lost, retirement funds being gutted and lives being turned upside down.
Congressional leaders are essentially serving as a de facto economic bomb squad, charged with disarming a ticking device (created by them and their predecessors) before it brings us all down.
McMorris Rodgers has emerged as a significant member of Congress and we expect her to help bring reason to this important matter.
It is what she was re-elected to do.

Hockey: Blackhawks win Stanley Cup with amazing finish
Boston • Two goals. Seventeen seconds apart. A second Stanley Cup victory in four seasons for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Seventy-six seconds away from defeat and a trip home for a decisive seventh game, Bryan Bickell tied it. Then, while the Bruins were settling in for another overtime in a series that has already had its share, Dave Bolland scored to give Chicago a 3-2 victory in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night.
The back-to-back scores in about the time it takes for one good rush down the ice turned a near-certain loss into a championship clincher, stunning the Boston players and their fans and starting the celebration on the Blackhawks' bench with 59 seconds to play.
"We thought we were going home for Game 7. You still think you're going to overtime and you're going to try to win it there. Then Bolly scores a huge goal 17 seconds later," said Chicago forward Patrick Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the postseason's most valuable player. "It feels like the last 58 seconds were an eternity."
The team that set an NHL record with a 24-game unbeaten streak to start the lockout-shortened season won three straight games after falling behind 2-1 in the best-of-seven finals, rallying from a deficit in the series and in its finale. Corey Crawford made 23 saves, and Jonathan Toews returned from injury to add a goal and an assist in the first finals between Original Six teams since 1979.
"I still can't believe that finish. Oh my God, we never quit," Crawford said. "I never lost confidence. No one in our room ever did."
Trailing 2-1, Crawford went off for an extra skater and the Blackhawks converted when Toews fed it in front and Bickell scored from the edge of the crease to tie the score.
Perhaps the Bruins expected it to go to overtime, as three of the first four games in the series did. They sure seemed to be caught off-guard on the ensuing faceoff. Chicago skated into the zone, sent a shot on net and after it deflected off Michael Frolik and the post it went right to Bolland, who put it in the net.
"It's unbelievable, man," Crawford said. "So much hard work to get to this point. Great effort by everyone on the team."
The Blackhawks on the ice gathered in the corner, while those on the bench began jumping up and down. It was only a minute later, when Boston's Tuukka Rask was off for an extra man, that Chicago withstood Boston's final push and swarmed over the boards, throwing their sticks and gloves across the ice.
"In 2010, we didn't really know what we were doing. We just, we played great hockey and we were kind of oblivious to how good we were playing," said Toews, who scored his third goal of the playoffs to tie it 1-1 in the second period, then fed Bickell for the score that tied it with 76 seconds to play.
"This time around, we know definitely how much work it takes and how much sacrifice it takes to get back here and this is an unbelievable group," Toews said. "We've been through a lot together this year and this is a sweet way to finish it off."
The Bruins got 28 saves from Rask, who was hoping to contribute to an NHL title after serving as Tim Thomas' backup when Boston won it all two years ago.
"It's obviously shocking when you think you have everything under control," Rask said quietly, standing at his locker with a blue baseball cap on backward and a towel draped over his shoulders.
The sold-out TD Garden had begun chanting "We want the Cup!" after Milan Lucic's goal put the Bruins up 2-1 with eight minutes left, but it fell silent after their team coughed up the lead.
"Probably toughest for sure, when you know you're a little bit over a minute left and you feel that you've got a chance to get to a Game 7," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "And then those two goals go in quickly."
The arena was almost empty except for a few hundred fans in red Blackhawks sweaters who filtered down to the front rows when NHL commissioner Gary Bettman handed the 35-pound Cup to Toews, who left Game 5 with an undisclosed injury and wasn't confirmed for the lineup until the morning skate.
The Chicago captain skated the Cup right over the crease in which the Blackhawks mounted the comeback and in front of the fans in Blackhawks sweaters who lined the front row behind the net. Toews banged on the glass while the remaining Bruins fans headed up the runways.
Storylines Blackhawks 3, Bruins 2

EHS design student wins contest
Every so often, graphic design instructor Jim Lynch just sees it.
A detail might catch his eye as he passes over a student's work, and he knows it has potential. It could be a winner.
For the third year in a row, such a project grabbed the Eudora-De Soto Technical Education Center teacher's attention. And for the third year in a row, it came from a USD 491 student.
Eudora High School junior Caleb Wright won a design competition by creating the official Kansas state trading pin for the Skills USA National Conference.
The Skills USA group is an organization that awards high school- and college-age students for excellence in vocational skills.
"I was real impressed by the detail and the time he spent on it," Lynch said. "He took quite a bit of time to do it the way he wanted to do it and the result was really good."
Wright's design incorporates two features he said he immediately associates with Kansas.
"Blue cloudy skies and wheat fields were the first things that popped in my head," Wright said. "I kind of developed it from there."
Skills USA participants throughout the state will use the pin as souvenirs to trade with students from other states.
For Wright, the pin's creation became a testament to patience.
"Last year, I didn't do much, but this year I took my time and did something I thought they would most likely like," Wright said.
The process began with Wright drafting the design on a computer screen.
He found a background and laid it out using the graphic design program Adobe Illustrator. He added a layer for the foreground, and then began the most time-consuming aspect of the project.
"I had to draw each individual piece of wheat in the field," Wright said.
The process took him more than a week to finish, he said.
The element was particularly impressive, Lynch said.
"The thing I thought was really cool was his field of waving wheat ---- it was kind of KUish ---- but a lot of people like that you know," Lynch said.
After adding color, Wright still had one important visual element to add to his pin.
"After I got the whole thing finished, I had to draw the shape of Kansas and lay it behind that," Wright said.
The project helped him cultivate focus, Wright said.
"I learned patience," Wright said. "It's something you need a lot with working on design things and design projects. I think just the skills I learned in the program on the computer and learning in detail is going to help a lot."
Wright will receive a pair of cufflinks, 10 pins and $25 for his winning design at the conference.
The conference will take place in April at Wichita. Wright joins Eudora High School graduates Julie White and Lacey Moore in winning design awards from the Skills USA organization.
"I'm always happy when we win because we're competing with everyone in the state," Lynch said. "We have been lucky to win the last three years."

In preparation for her role in "Les Miserables," Anne Hathaway went above and beyond to ensure she fit the part. Besides chopping her long locks for a shorter cut, the actress has recently revealed she became "obsessive" over losing weight.
Hathaway plays sickly prostitute Fantine and, with that came a dramatic transformation. In the December issue of Vogue, the 30-year-old actress says, "I had to be obsessive about it – the idea was to look near death. Looking back on the whole experience – and I don't judge it in any way – it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is anyway."
Before production even started, Hathaway lost 10 pounds, and then another 15 by living on "two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste per day."
That's quite the diet and it didn't bode well for the actress, "I was in such a state of deprivation – physical and emotional. When I got home, I couldn't react to the chaos of the world without being overwhelmed. It took me weeks till I felt like myself again."
As an avid vegan, Hathaway is usually in the limelight for her health trends, so it's no surprise this so-called "diet" is making headlines.
Do you think she went too far or is just a dedicated actress?
You can catch Hathaway's Oscar-buzzing performance, alongside Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, Russell Crowe and many other talents, when the film hits theaters this Christmas Day.

I am a fun loving, yet laid back person. I am the type of person that always tries to find the bright side to everything, and the beauty in all around me. I have a good heart and care about people. I have been very blessed in my life and am thankful for the miracles the Lord has given me.
I have 5 wonderful children. Three girls and two boys. They are the pride and joy of my life. They keep me laughing and sometimes wondering about how their minds work. I am entering a new phase of life. With 2 children grown and out of the home, I find my house shrinking. I'm excited for the new experiences my children will have but will miss them soo much!
I have lived in many places across this beautiful country. Growing up I spent my younger years in Washington State and my teen and young adult years in Los Angeles, California. I am currently in Maryland and it is great.
I love the performing arts. I am a singer and play the flute. I also enjoy dancing. I have also directed and choreographed shows both in the community and for church.
I am looking for someone to share all of this and more with. Someone that can find the humor in life around us. Someone that is willing to go on an eternal journey. A man that is willing to be a step-father to my children, and willing to let me be a step-mother to his.
The problem I have had with dating sites in the past is that the men that contact me are young enough to be my child or old enough to be my father. I mean no offense but I am looking for someone to spend eternity with. I feel more comfortable dating someone closer to my own age.

After living in Barrington, R.I., for more than 20 years and paying the snob tax you have to hand over to live there, I now reside in Dighton. It's a unique spot because of the weird deer population in my neighborhood. Weird because they obviously never read the rules about being a deer. There are no scrapes or rubs that I can find on any trails and very little sign. Even though I find only limited sign, I see plenty of does and several buck, including three that I see routinely. How they live here and leave only an occasional footprint or a flattened high grass where they bed beats me.
Now maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots, but I see more deer near where I live than any other spots I scout that have plenty of sign. Because of this, I spent every morning of my last vacation looking for deer. There are a few trails that I didn't think got much use, but I was wrong.
This is near the area where I walk my dogs in the afternoon after work. I got a crazy idea of bringing them up to the area I've been scouting. They are a pair of cocker spaniels that are very birdy. Maggie and Baer are always sniffing out something with wings, including pheasants, which I was told don't live around my house anymore. They have never been trained to hunt, but the nose on a dog works overtime, especially when they are in the woods.
We headed up the old logging roads that are in this area. I let my dogs take the lead and really sniff around one of the spots where I saw deer. They walked in and out of one of the trails with their noses to the ground for the longest time. It wasn't the excited sniffing they do when they are on a bird; it was much slower and more intense. They were onto something but they had no idea what it was. Once the sniffing was done all they wanted to do was head up that trail. I didn't let them in because I didn't want to leave any scent on a game trail. When I finally got them away from that spot they trotted down the lane just enjoying the woods like only a dog can. A hundred yards down the lane they hit the next spot and sniffed intensely again. That was all I needed, I walked them another three-quarters of a mile and they hit several other spots.
I marked them on the GPS and made a mental note of where the spots are located. Some are full-blown paths and a few look like nothing. With this information I spent plenty of time watching and sure enough two of the bucks that I routinely see used two of the spots to cross the logging road in the morning.
Page 2 of 3 - After seeing these deer it was time to build my hides. I have built several ground stands near these trails. I've found that, for me at least, I have more luck with ground stands than a tree stand. For starters, there are few trees that can support a climbing stand or even a stationary model in that area. The few trees that are strong enough are not in range. The ground stands can be set up quickly ahead of the season. In two of my spots, I have ground hides set up for two wind directions. If the wind is out of the southwest, like it usually is, I have one stand. Forty-five yards away I have a second stand looking at the same area for when the wind is out of the northeast. If the wind changes, I can just get up and walk over to a stand where the wind is to my advantage.
Most of my stands are built from old logs and brush found on the ground. I stack them up in such a way that I sit on an available log or a three-legged stool I carry and can watch a large area. I build them high enough that I can sit very concealed and comfortable. I only have to stand to take a shot.
The other great thing about these ground stands is that they cost me next to nothing and take little time to build. Several of my hides are only an area I opened up in the heavy undergrowth. The natural cover is full even after the foliage starts to fall. I cut a path to gain access off to one side. If I need more cover, I use heavy-duty wire plastic wraps to hold the additional logs and branches in place. If I want to break up the hide I only have to snip the wire wraps off.
The spot I hunt is supposed to be private property but that never seems to stop anyone from coming through the woods. An experienced outdoorsman can spot a well-hidden tree stand, but the ground stands look like nothing different than the surrounding woods. Most of the problems come from anti-hunters trying to mess things up. If they don't see tree stands they just go away.
I have a funny story about a woman who on opening day one year walked the woods trying to locate tree stands and push deer out of the area. She pushed a deer toward me and, as I found out a few days later, toward at least three other hunters. So in trying to stop us from hunting, she only helped all of us kill deer that opening week. If you are reading this, thank you from all of us.
I also don't put up my trail cameras in this area because they can also be spotted by anyone in the woods, and, at more than $100 each, I'm not giving any bunny hugger a chance to destroy a piece of my equipment.
Page 3 of 3 - So even though there is just about no sign, I'm confident that this will be a good spot to hunt this year. With the help of my dogs and some patience sitting in the woods scouting, my hides are ready to go. I'll stay out of the area until opening day. Until then, I'll spend time shooting my bow and getting ready to fill the freezer.

Condemnation hearing set for Main St. wall
June 26, 2008
The Eudora City Council at a meeting Monday approved a public hearing for the condemnation of the Main Street wall.
The hearing will take place at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 11 at Eudora City Hall during a city council meeting.
Engineers two years ago were concerned that a heavy rain could cause the wall to collapse onto the sidewalk. It then was barricaded, deemed a dangerous building and notices of safety code and zoning violations were sent to the owners.
The 50-foot-long wall, which sits barricaded between 706 and 714 on Main Street, is owned by two different entities: Darrel Keim, of Lawrence, and two teenagers who have the rights to it as the result of a trust.
Both parties were unavailable for comment.
Six years ago when city officials decided to fix the wall, Keim went to the Eudora Board of Zoning Appeals, claiming it was city property. The board disagreed, and he took the issue to court.
Kansas District Court Judge Stephen Six then issued a memorandum last June upholding the board's Zoning appeals' decision.
The council formally condemned the wall April 31 and public hearings were to take place Monday, but public notices were not placed in newspapers so the hearing date was moved.
The owners will have 30 days to appeal any decision reached at the hearing.
After the appeals process is finished, the city will be able to make changes to the wall.
In other actions, the council:
¢ Approved the re-appointment of commissioners to the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Planning Commission.
Bob Slapar, Johnny Stewart, and Grant were re-appointed to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Rose House, David Montgomery and Patrick Jankowski were re-appointed to the Planning Commission.
