Walter Ward (1911-1994) was a member of the New York City Council for a quarter of a century, serving 13 terms from 1968 until 1993. Ward, who took courses at the Dale Carnegie Institute, was the owner of the Ward Advertising Company, which specialized in outdoor signs. Ward sold the business in 1971 to devote himself solely to representing the 32nd Legislative District, which incorporated Broad Channel, Howard Beach, Ozone Park, South Ozone Park, and the Rockaways. Towards the end of his tenure, Ward was the oldest member of the legislative body, and had earned the unofficial title "Dean of the Council."

Flint Hills tall grasslands
Flint Hills, Kansas, USA. Source: John Charlton/Kansas Geological Survey
The Flint Hills tall grasslands covers the Flint Hills of Kansas and the Osage Plains of northeastern Oklahoma, in the USA. The Flint Hills tall grasslands is the smallest grassland ecoregion in North America. It can be distinguished from other grassland associations by the dominance of tallgrass species–and from the Central tall grasslands to the north by its more depauperate biota and a thin soil layer spread over distinct beds of limestone. These flinty beds of limestone, from which the name of this ecoregion is derived, rendered large areas unsuitable for corn or wheat farming. Today, the Flint Hills tall grasslands is an anomaly–an essentially unplowed (although heavily grazed) remnant of the tallgrass prairie. Historically, wildfire, drought and grazing by American Bison (Bison bison) and other ungulates were the principal drivers of habitat disturbance in this ecoregion. A new tallgrass prairie national park has been established covering about 44 km2. The Flint Hills ecoregion offers the best opportunity for restoration of tallgrass prairie in the USA.
Biological Distinctiveness
The Flint Hills and adjacent Osage Hills contain the last sizeable elements of tallgrass prairie on Earth. The Flint Hills is less rich in species than Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), Old Switch Panic Grass (Panicum virgatum), and Yellow Indian Grass (Sorghastrum nutans). As in the case of other ecoregions of this section of North America, American Bison and Elk (Cervus elaphus) once roamed these tallgrass prairies, where they were hunted by the Wolf (Canis lupus). These species are now extirpated from the ecoregion, although American Bison are being reestablished here. Greater Prairie Chicken (Tympanuchus cupido) are relatively common on the Tallgrass Prairie Reserve.
There are a total of 317 vertebrate species found in the Flint Hills tall grasslands.
There are a number of amphibian taxa found in the ecoregion, namely: the American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus); Cope's Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis); Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor), who in winter hibernates beneath surface litter; Great Plains Narrowmouth Toad (Gastrophryne olivacea); Great Plains Toad (Gastrophryne olivacea); Mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus), who inhabit weedy ponds and perennial streams; Northern Cricket Frog (Acris crepitans); Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum); Plains Leopard Frog (Lithobates blairi); Plains Spadefoot (Spea bombifrons); Small-mouthed Salamander (Ambystoma texanum), whose breeding sites are ponds or other lotic waters; Spotted Chorus Frog (Pseudacris clarkii); Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum), a secretive species who spends most of its life underground or hiding beneath logs; Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum); and Striped Chorus Frog (Pseudacris triseriata).
A considerable number of reptilian species occur in the Flint Hills tall grasslands ecoregion, including the following representative taxa: the Broad-headed Skink (Plestiodon laticeps); the Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus collaris); Common Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus); Common Slider (Trachemys scripta); and Plain-bellied Water Snake (Nerodia erythrogaster), who hibernates underground or under rock piles.
A number of mammals inhabit the Flint Hills ecoregion, including the Black-tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus); Franklin's Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus franklinii); the Endangered Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis), who winters in caves and mines;
Notable bird species in the Flint Hills tall grasslands include the Near Threatened Black Rail (Laterallus jamaicensis); the Vulnerable Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea); the Near Threatened Chestnut-collared Longspur (Calcarius ornatus); and the Near Threatened Chimney Swift (Chaetura pelagica).
Conservation Status
Habitat Loss and Degradation
Much of the Flint Hills and the Osage Hills are in relatively intact ecological condition. Although heavily grazed by livestock in some places, a number of common native plant species remain extant.
Remaining Blocks of Intact Habitat
This unit contains the largest blocks of relatively intact tallgrass prairie among the three tallgrass units and some of the largest blocks in all of the Great Plains ecoregions.
Several important blocks of habitat in this ecoregion include:
- The Barnard Ranch (The Nature Conservancy-owned ranch in the Osage Hills), northeastern Oklahoma
- Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Flint Hills region, central Kansas - approximately 44 km2
- Konza Prairie, northeastern Kansas (key research site for the tallgrass prairie ecosystem) - 34.8 km2
Degree of Fragmentation
Habitat fragmentation is relatively low considering existing land uses and level of livestock grazing within the ecoregion.
Degree of Protection
Creation of the Tallgrass Prairie National Park in 1996 has added to the amount of habitat protected in this unit. The Nature Conservancy has also established a sizeable conservation unit in the Osage Hills: the Barnard Ranch. The Konza Prairie is a small protected area preserve, owned by The Nature Conservancy and Kansas State University.
Types and Severity of Threats
Because this ecoregion is too difficult to farm, future threats of conversion to agriculture remain low relative to other grassland ecoregions. Grazing could become a more severe threat if not properly managed. Some rangeland has been converted to non-native cool-season grass. There is increasing habitat fragmentation due to smaller homestead units being divided from large ranch holdings.
Suite of Priority Activities to Enhance Biodiversity Conservation
- Working with appropriate agencies, efforts should be made to increase protection of the Flint and Osage hills.
- Additional activities of high priority are to reconnect and restore the remaining blocks of habitat. This will be an uphill effort in most areas and perhaps futile in others. The extent of habitat conversion of this ecoregion is discouraging, and support for conservation is weak in parts of this unit.
- It is important to alter range practices to manage for biodiversity value rather than maximum beef production. Inherent in this strategy is the elimination of below market lease rates on public lands.

Yeah... now CF Zalzagul is useless =(. Please Change the "And then" to +2sp+[unit's level]. This card is almost nerfed to crap without that efffect. If the GMs are not willing to change that, at least make the start skill only -1 sp at beginning of next turn, not 2. Or make it hit 2 units! CF Zalzagul is a very unique card, but that -2 sp at beginning of next turn hurts this card alot without compensation. Please change CF Zalzagul's skill to those mentioned above.
I have found a use for this card and GMs are being pretty harsh to the balance of this card. This card is seriously one of the worst 5* out there. There is too much negatives thean there are positive about this card
And anyone who agrees with me Please sign in your name to this petition and get the ball rolling somewhere.

An important perfume ingredient, it grows in Grasse and is a legendary flower that has inspired traditional beauty rituals throughout the Mediterranean, which still exist today.
Fleur Chérie introduces a new interpretation of orange blossom in our fragrance and bodycare that emphasizes the magical, delicate and soft facets of this ingredient. It is an exquisite, airy, luminous scent with a woody trail.
This flower of femininity is the CHERISHED FLOWER – the FLEUR CHERIE – of the Mediterranean people.

Beauty trends are fleeting but here are 17 that will keep you in style all winter long.
Back To the 70s
What's old is new again when it comes to 70s hair. From sleek straight strands to voluminous curls and teased hair galore, it was all there on the runway this fall. Diane Von Furstenberg and Kate Spade both showcased these styles on the runway showcasing their Spring 2014 styles. Want big hair for yourself? Check out here (http://glo.msn.com/beauty/big-80s-hair-is-back-9526.gallery).
Hair: Braids
Maybe it was the Game of Thrones craze but braids are back in a big way. It's great because there's no wrong way to braid so you can have as much fun as you'd like with them. Messy or sleek, braids are the ultimate all-purpose hair style!
Hair: Ponytails
A sleek ponytail is perfect for everyday or the special occasion. A clear ponytail holder can keep it looking clean or you can wrap some strands around the band for a little added flair. Metallic cuffs or ribbons can be a fun way to play up the style as well depending on your preference.
Hair: Wet Hair
Seen all over NYFW 2013 from Phillip Lim to Herve Leger, the wet hair look is one that's harder to pull off but when done right it could be a unique style for a night out. This style works for long and short hair alike and is perfect to keep in the arsenal for next summer. How To Get The Look: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/hairstyles-beauty/beauty-blog/how-to-wear-the-wet-hair-look
Makeup: Bright Colors
Forget the winter gloom and get bright! It's the best of hte beauty trends. Pick your favorite neon hue and use it fearlessly for a stunning flair to your look. Want to test the waters? Pick your favorite color and select a slightly bolder shade to ease your way into the world of wild coloring. Just remember, if you pick a bold lip, keep the eye tame.
Makeup: Cat-Eye
Taking a page out of the 70s hair when it comes to retro styles, the cat eye has made it back into style. Get in touch with your wild side and embrace this bold look. Find out how to get the perfect Cat Eye here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLxbfHQk6YM
Makeup: Metallics
With the holidays right around the corner, it's never too early to get a wintery shine to your look. We like metallic eye shadows but feel free to get creative and use metallic powders on your cheeks or lips for an all-over shimmer.
Makeup: No-Makeup Makeup
A dewy all-natural look never goes out of style. Perfect for daytime makeup or even a night out on the town, harness your inner beauty and go minimal. For some tips on how to get this look, check out here (link to blog post).
Makeup: Bold Eye
A bold eye goes hand in hand with the bold colors that were found all over the runway this season. Mix and match colors, add metallic powders or use a bold liner to bring out those stunning eyes!
Makeup: Dark Lips
Neon not your thing? Dark lips were equally present on the runway and go perfectly with the impending wintery weather. Plums, burnt coppers and dark reds will plump the lips and bring them to the forefront.
Makeup: Cinnamon
Cinnamon isn't only for your apple pie this fall. If you're missing your bronzer, this is the color for you. The burnt color without the summery glitz, cinnamon works well both on the cheeks and your eyes. Pair with peach and gold tones for a full effect.
Makeup: Plum
Plum – it's absolutely everywhere. Wines, purples and everything in between, the color is exceptionally flattering for most everyone. So luscious you'll want to eat it.
Nails: Matte Colors
While glitter abounds this fall and winter, an interesting resurgence of matte nail polishes has happened. Accent with some subtle sparkle or a glossy tip to keep everyone talking about your mani all day long.
Nails: Beige
Beauty trends aren't all about being outrage. Being beige is no longer an insult. Add a metallic sheen or accents to this subdued tone for maximum impact – a mani that will go with your outfit no matter what you choose to wear!
Nails: Geometrics
Cat eyes, big hair and geometric nails. Embrace the 70s all over with geometric nails. Triangles, boxes and everything else geometric this fall.
Nails: Oxblood
'Tis the season for deep reds and sultry coloring. Gift your nails some oxblood this winter and stun everybody with the bold color.
Nails: Metallics
Not just for your makeup – metallic nails will give the perfect shine to any manicure. Use for an accent or an all-over polish, it'll be as good as gold.

MDC suspected that blue catfish Ictalurus furcatus and flathead catfish Pylodictis olivaris were being heavily exploited by anglers in 55,600 acre Harry S. Truman
Reservoir in west-central Missouri. A reward tag study was initiated in 2004 to determine angler exploitation rates for both species.
The Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resource Association (MICRA) mandated that all hatchery-reared Paddlefish must be tagged with binary-coded wire tags (CWT) before stocking throughout the Mississippi River basin. Twenty-two (22) states participated in the tagging, but numerous states have expressed concern about CWT retention. This study was initiated to inform these concerns by estimating the proportion of tagged Paddlefish stocked in MDC managed ponds that retain binary coded-wire tags (CWT) after 10 years.
Reservoirs are important resources utilized by thousands of freshwater anglers annually, but as these reservoirs age, their physical habitat deteriorates and fish habitat quality is reduced. In 2007, a large scale habitat improvement project began on Table Rock Lake, Missouri with the goal of supplementing existing fish habitat in this large reservoir. Over 2,000 habitat structures composed of cedar, pine, hardwoods, stumps, and rocks were installed between 2007 and 2013. SCUBA surveys were used to evaluate black bass and crappie use of the installed habitat structures to determine if use of structures varied among fish species, fish size, season, and structure type.
Recruitment of black bass Micropterus spp. in large reservoirs is often related to fluctuations in water levels, although the specific mechanism driving recruitment is not known. Eastern red cedar Juniperus virginiana brush was added to coves within Bull Shoals Lake to replicate habitat conditions present during high water events in an effort to increase numbers of nesting adult black bass and abundance of age-0 black bass.
As reservoirs age, fish habitat may decrease because of increased siltation and deterioration of structures which may affect fish populations. Over the past five years the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has worked to improve reservoir fish habitat in Table Rock Lake, Missouri. Over 2,000 fish habitat structures (e.g., tree, stump, and rock piles) were distributed and geo-referenced in an attempt to improve fish habitat and angler success. Researchers then surgically implanted 70 Largemouth Bass with radio telemetry transmitters and relocated them once a month during the day and night for one year.
MDC protects and manages Missouri's fish, forest, and wildlife resources. We also facilitate your participation in resource-management activities, and we provide opportunities for you to use, enjoy and learn about nature. Read more about our mission.

[CS6] Of all the great new features in CSS3, one of my favorites is the ability to create Transitions. In other words--to move between 2 states of an object, using pure CSS. And of course, with Dreamweaver CS6, we now support CSS3 Transitions with the new CSS3 Transitions Panel. Let's take a look: here I am on my Pluralist page and as I scroll down, you can see that I have 4 images. And each one of the 4 images has a description about the actual product, here at the bottom of the image. But if we select a little bit of this text and maybe go to our Split view, you're going to notice that, actually, there's more information-- you can see here, we have our burgundy leather jacket, but I also have some other information: Alice Ritter--and even the price-- and I can't actually see that information. And that's because I've used a little bit of CSS magic-- simply Overflow Hidden-- to actually hide all of that content. But I do want it to be displayed-- but only when you place your mouse on top of this description area, and that's where the CSS Transitions come in. So I'm simply going to select one of these elements-- let's just say this word, "leather", here-- and I'll open up my brand new CSS Transitions panel. Now, as it opens, you'll notice I've already got some Transitions that I've created for our navigation, but I'm going to show you how the Transitions were created, using these examples here. The first thing that I need to note is what is it that I want to change? Now you'll notice that we have a class here, called "Content". And that is actually the >div that contains all of this information that I'm going to want to display. So that's what I'm looking for--is that class called Content. So I'm going to create a new Transition and from my Target Rule, I'm going to show you all of the rules I have-- and, as you can see, it's quite a bit. As we get passed our IDs, we'll get down here to our Content Rules here, and you'll notice there's 2 of them because, of course, I have a Content Rule for my desktop device. I also have a Content Rule for my tablet device. So I'll select one of those that I'm interested in and simply say: okay--for my content, when you hover over that--in other words, not when it's active, but when it's hovered-- I want something to be triggered--what do I want to change? And this is where I'm going to set up my properties. I'll go down here to my Property listing and say: well, the thing that I want to do is I want to move this up. So I'll use the property of "Top"-- right there--and I'm going to set that value to zero. In other words, move it up to the top of its parent container. And I'm also going to set the bottom, as well, because I don't want it to move up and change size. I want it to fill out the entire area, so there we have "bottom". Now I have 3 other options to set here. First of all, how long should this happen? What is the duration? Let's just go with--let's say 1 second. Do we want a delay? In other words, do we want--when the user puts their mouse on top of the object, do we want it to immediately start, or perhaps wait a half a second or something, in case they weren't really intending to trigger that. Let's give it that half second--so I'll do .5 seconds there. And how do we want it to play? We have a number of different functions here: linear, ease-in, ease-out. Let's just play in a linear fashion. With all of that, I'm going to simply say: go ahead and create that transition for me. Now you can see it's been adding--notice that we have a number of these because it's added one for each one, indicating each one of these Content areas is going to move--oh, and look at that! As I'm moving my mouse on top, they, in fact, are moving. Now, the one thing to know about the Transitions panel is this is for your simple Transitions. In other words, you're able to identify the one object on the page that you want to animate-- or, if you will, Transition. If you want to get more complex, we've got to dive a little deeper. So here's my problem with my animation that I've created, so far: I'm happy with everything animating Up, but I would also like the Title here to go down underneath this Decoration. Now that means I've got to do one of these little bit trickier animations. So I'm going to do that, by simply using my CSS Rules panel. I'm going to say: I would like to create a new CSS Rule. Now this rule that I'm going to create is a Compound Rule, and it's going to begin just like you saw it begin before-- with the Content Class. And when that Content Class is hovered, I want to do something else. I want to change the actual Description element, and that is actually a class itself. So that is that Description that we had highlighted before. I want to target that and I'm going to add that to my Styles>Start>CSS File, where all my other rules are. I'll say OK. Dreamweaver then asks: okay, what is it that you would like to do? Well, I have all of my positioning here and, you'll notice, a brand new Transition subsection where--just like we saw before--I can either choose individual properties to change or just say, in this case, I'm happy to change all of my properties. Which property would I like to change? The only thing that I'm interested in doing is just changing the Top placement-- let's say to about 53 percent down on the parent container. And I'll go ahead and, again--back over in the Transition-- if I wanted to set a particular duration or delay, I could do so. Let's go ahead and set that same 0.5 seconds, and we'll leave that at a linear Transition as well-- and click OK. Now you'll notice--when we mouse over-- you'll notice that our Title is no longer moving all the way to the Top. It's now navigating Down. Of course--now you'll notice, as I moved back off, I might need to address the movement back Up. And again, I would continue to do that, using my CSS Rules panel and the Rules Dialogue-- or, if I feel comfortable to do that--by hand, of course. So that's the new CSS Transitions panel in Dreamweaver CS6. [Adobe]

Basic Mushrooming
Enjoy—but approach with caution!
Mushrooms can be terrific photo subjects, they play extremely important roles in the ecosystem, and some are famously delicious. Some are also famously deadly.
Don't eat a mushroom unless you're certain it's an edible species! Our mushrooming topics can help you find, collect, identify, and prepare edible mushrooms.
When and where can I find mushrooms?
Look for them from early spring (our coveted morels) to late fall (oysters and lion's mane). Morels have a short, specific growing season of just several weeks in spring, while oyster mushrooms can be found from spring clear through to the beginning of winter—if weather conditions aren't too harsh. Some species, such as oysters and deadly galerinas, are even known to push up through snow on fallen trees after a few above-freezing winter nights.
Some mushrooms only grow on dead or dying trees, and others are only found growing from the ground. Knowing where a particular species grows and when it typically appears is crucial to correct identification. If you're planning on eating wild mushrooms, nothing less than 100-percent positive ID will do.
At the first signs of spring, some dedicated morel hunters start tracking soil temperatures, watching for the ground to warm to a consistent 53F before they make their first foray of the year. Others use the rule of thumb of a week of night temperatures above 50F. But the single most important factor for any Missouri mushrooms to appear at all is adequate moisture. If there hasn't been enough precipitation, or if the substrate (soil or a log) dries out, mushrooms refuse to emerge.
A few days after a good soaking rain in any season is the time to grab your basket or camera and head into the woods. You're nearly guaranteed to find some mushrooms!
How do I collect them?
Why you're collecting a mushroom makes a difference in how you collect it. If you're new to wild mushrooms, it's really important to get some experience identifying them before you ever pick any to eat!
Collecting for study
Collecting mushrooms to take home for closer examination requires the simplest equipment: a flat-bottomed basket, a roll of waxed paper, a small digging tool (a pocketknife will do) and something for taking notes. A GPS unit might come in handy, too, if you want to check the same spot at another time.
Collect the entire mushroom, including the base. This is important for mushrooms growing in soil. Some mushrooms have a cup-shaped volva that may be buried, and others may have a surprisingly long "root." You need the whole mushroom for proper identification. Dig gently around the base, a little way away from the stem, to include any underground structure. Try to find fresh specimens that insects haven't found first. Pick a few in different growth stages, if you can (some change dramatically as they mature). Keep each different kind separate. Roll them gently in a length of waxed paper and twist the ends, like a piece of candy, or use waxed-paper sandwich bags. Don't use plastic wrap — it traps warmth and moisture, and the mushrooms will start to decompose rapidly.
Take note of the following for each specimen
- Where it's growing (on wood, soil, moss)
- Whether singly or in clusters
- The colors and textures of all parts (For example, the little parrot mushroom has a beautiful green cap and yellow stem, and it is typically slimy.)
- The aroma (some surprises here, from the scent of watermelon rind to jasmine flowers)
The more you observe about the mushroom where you find it, the easier it will be to identify at home.
Know area regulations and respect private land
Most state parks and conservation areas allow collecting of mushrooms, but regulations vary, so check before you collect. And needless to say, get permission before collecting anything on private land!
Collecting edibles
Grab a flat-bottomed basket
If you're collecting mushrooms for the table (assuming you're 100 percent sure of the ID, of course), you still need a basket or flat-bottomed cloth bag (a piece of cardboard, cut to fit the bottom of the bag, will add stability). Some mushroom hunters use a mesh bag on the premise that spores will drop and spread while they're walking in the woods. (We haven't seen a scientific study of this, but it might be true, so use your own discretion). Your goal is clean, whole mushrooms that will be easy to prep before cooking. Plastic grocery bags might seem handy, but they offer no protection to the mushrooms if you bump them into anything. Also, they create a warm, moist environment that makes mushrooms disintegrate quickly.
Carry a pocketknife
Beyond your basket, you'll need a pocketknife (or even a pair of scissors), for cutting the mushroom at the base. Some companies sell "mushroom knives" with a brush on the end, for whisking off dirt, because adding only clean mushrooms to your basket will save you a lot of prep time later!
Collect only unblemished specimens
As you would with any other fresh produce, look for nice, unblemished specimens. If you'd pass it up in a grocery store, don't pick it. Be a good sport, and try not to over-harvest or pick them all. Leave some for the next hiker to find—or so the mushrooms can continue to grow and multiply.
Keep different kinds separate
Don't mix your known edibles with any unidentified specimens. Keep them physically separate from each other. Poisonous mushrooms can contaminate other mushrooms.
Don't collect from "dirty" places
You may find mushrooms growing beyond the borders of forests, but please think twice before gathering them from the side of the road, near railroads tracks, on golf courses, parks or even suburban lawns. Exhaust fumes, creosote, pet waste and weed treatments are not what you want on your plate!
Once you've got them home
Whether for later study or later meals, store them in the refrigerator straight out of your basket. While we advise against using plastic bags in the field (where they promote rapid decay), it's okay to use a plastic bag to store mushrooms in your fridge, where the conditions are cool and dry. Don't rinse your collection before refrigerating — wet mushrooms will deteriorate much faster. When you place them in the fridge, leave the storage bag or bin slightly open to minimize moisture collection. If you find you must rinse your edibles, do it right before cooking. Lay rinsed mushrooms on a clean towel to dry.
How do I know if a mushroom is edible?
Short answer: there is no test to determine edible versus poisonous mushrooms. Ignore any advice such as "a poisonous mushroom will tarnish a silver spoon," "if it bruises blue, it's poisonous," etc. These are old wives' tales and folk myths, and completely untrue. Even seeing evidence of animals eating them won't work here. The only way to tell if a mushroom is edible is by positive identification.
If you're interested in eating wild mushrooms, we cannot stress enough the importance of learning how to identify them. Field guides will have pictures and descriptions of mushroom anatomy, cap shapes, surface textures, gill spacing — just a few of the features used to determine what species it is. Learning to identify mushrooms is really like any other kind of nature study, except for one huge consideration: if you're collecting mushrooms to eat, some of them could be deadly poisonous. Take your time, and use common sense, which should tell you if you're not 100 percent positive of the ID, don't eat it. Don't let wishful thinking make you sick or dead. Be skeptical of your own conclusions!
While it may take a little time to build your knowledge, it's worth it! There are several delicious mushrooms that are easy to recognize and nearly impossible to confuse with any dangerous species. Once you've tasted some of them (using all of the resources below, so you're 100 percent sure of what it is), you'll start to see what all the excitement is about. Most are nothing at all like the grocery store selections!
We recommend you do all of the following
- Go to workshops and forays. Join a mushroom club. You'll see lots of mushrooms and learn what the identifying features are. Experts will help with your questions and recommend field guides and other resources.
- Collect and identify what you think is the same species repeatedly. Some mushrooms change appearance dramatically as they mature or even in different seasons.
- Show your finds to experts.
- Use multiple field guides. One picture is not enough! Read the descriptions carefully.
- Don't let your nose fool you. Mushrooms that smell or even taste good can be poisonous. One common culprit of mushroom poisoning is the green-spored Lepiota (Chlorophyllum molybdites), which, when young, looks nearly identical to the common white button mushrooms found in grocery stores. They reportedly taste pretty good, too, but eating just one will lead to symptoms that can put you in the emergency room.
- "When in doubt, throw it out!" Until you've trained your eyes to know what you're looking for, we can't say it often enough!

The exact cause of pilonidal cysts isn't clear. But most pilonidal cysts appear to be caused by loose hairs that penetrate the skin. Friction and pressure — skin rubbing against skin, tight clothing, bicycling, long periods of sitting or similar factors — force the hair down into skin. Responding to the hair as a foreign substance, the body creates a cyst around the hair.
This explanation accounts for rare cases of pilonidal cysts that occur in parts of the body other than near the tailbone. For example, barbers, dog groomers and sheep shearers have developed pilonidal cysts in the skin between fingers.

Refusing to let go of a dream
By: Jim Linsdau/Placer Herald Sports Editor
Family came first
Rocklin's Glen Peacock family is understandably proud that their youngest is now playing football on a scholarship at Midland University in Fremont, Neb., but the road it took to get there was the real story. Kyle Peacock was a good athlete pursuing his love of football when and wherever the opportunity presented itself. He started with the Jr. Thunder, teamed up with his brother at Wheatland High School and eventually both wore the pads for Yuba College. His brother Justin Peacock developed into a quarterback and Kyle became his target. "Every time you turn around there was football at the house, it seemed like all the time ever since they were little," said the boys' mother, Melissa Peacock. "You (couldn't) get rid it." Their father, Glenn Peacock, said the two attended Wheatland High to avoid being separated. When Whitney High opened in their district, the school offered only freshmen and sophomore classes. That worked for Kyle Peacock, but Justin Peacock was a junior and could not attend so they both went to Wheatland. The football careers of both were coming along nicely until Glen Peacock became ill. After playing at Yuba College, they both eschewed scholarships to four-year schools to stay near home. "I took on cancer," said Glenn Peacock of his son's decisions, "and they wanted to stay home to take care of mom." Justin Peacock began pursuing a career in coaching but Kyle Peacock continued to believe in his dream of playing more football. He said he continued his studies and kept himself in good physical shape just in case that opportunity again came knocking. "What I did was kept my head in the books and kept working out and getting big," said Kyle Peacock speaking over the telephone from Fremont. "I wouldn't be here without my parents and God. My mom is my hero," he added. As if by fate, a teammate of Kyle Peacock's at Yuba College was already on scholarship playing football for the Midland Warriors. When he saw the team lacked a solid wide receiver he told his coaches about Kyle. When Kyle Peacock heard Midland was interested in him he had mixed feelings about moving that far away. His parents encouraged him to pursue his dream. Midland University football head coach Josh Gehring said the club was having problems at wide receiver and on the recommendation of his defensive coordinator took a look at Kyle Peacock's film. Gehring said he liked what he saw, especially after he got to know Kyle Peacock in person. "What set him apart was his fire and passion to play football," Gehring said. (He has) great character. I'm excited about him."He's not shy; (he) jumped in right away." Having been a team captain most of his career, Kyle Peacock quickly fell into a leadership role. With his father doing better, his reservations about playing football in Nebraska soon faded. Not only did Kyle Peacock impress his coaches and teammates, but he also impressed a young lady he predicted would one day be his wife. Although he didn't think he was going to have that kind of impact on Midland Warriors football, all that has since changed. Glenn Peacock said he got a telephone call from Midland University offering Kyle a scholarship covering 75 percent of his expenses. The Peacocks felt the family could handle that. But after one day of practice, Glenn Peacock got another call telling him the school was increasing the offer. "I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse," Glenn Peacock said was what the coach told him – and they did. Glenn Peacock stressed that young athletes who suffer setbacks should continue pursuing their dreams in spite of the disappointments. Kyle Peacock's story may not be the norm but neither was his passion to persevere. "There's always a school that could use you," Kyle Peacock said, "Talk to as many people as you can. If you don't put any effort into it you're not going to get picked up." Early in his life, Kyle Peacock was influenced by the story of Daniel Ruettiger, who was the inspiration for the movie "Rudy." Ruettiger was a 5-foot 6-inch, 165 pound walk-on at Notre Dame University. Although dyslexic, Ruettiger persevered to live out his dream. Glenn Peacock said he knows of too many young athletes who have given up on their dreams. He said he hoped his son's story would perhaps be an inspiration to them and others. "Nobody can steal your dream; you have to give it (away)," Glenn Peacock said. "Don't give up."

Marni has raised the bar on store spaces. The brand new Spazio Marni is situated in an old factory built in the early 1920s in Viale Umbria 42, Milan, and covers over 1000 square meters. In order to maintain the original architecture and linear geometry while highlighting the patina created over the decades, the renovation of the building had to be a completely unique project. For example, all areas dedicated to back offices are facing the street, giving the highest flexibility to the three biggest spaces in the building. The concept for this multifunctional space is to accommodate all of Marni's activities: fashion shows, presentations, spaces dedicated to the show room and to special projects, like collaborations with artists, architects and other companies.
On the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2013 opening, Marni presented the new space through the project "100 Chairs," which includes "models and colors linked to the idea of urban sitting rooms," and the workshop "ABI-tanti, the Migrating Multitude," a project of the Education Department of the Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea. It's worth a second look, just for the amount of innovation that went into this renovation, and the cheeky art, which smartly fills the area while displaying just how gloriously spacious the place is.

Feranor Steeltoe was a Dwarven dragon hunter, and the leader of a group known as the Dragon Hunters. Feranor asked Arthas to kill the Black Drake Searinox to get his heart shortly before the Third War. He forged an Orb of Fire for Arthas with the heart of the dragon.[1]
Feranor's current status is unknown. In World of Warcraft, players can meet his apprentice Sigrun Ironhew in the Badlands who speaks of his master's legacy of using dragon hearts for fiery enchantments, and how the last time he'd heard of him, Feranor was working at a smithy with a hunting party up in Lordaeron. [2]
- Feranor may be a reference to Feanor, a famous craftsman and smith created by J. R. R. Tolkien.
- Although Blizzard uses the Mortar Team model to portray him, Feranor is just one person, given his voice Feanor is most likly the larger of the two dwarves.

WASHINGTON – Arlington County is working hard to boost support for the Columbia Pike streetcar line, even as a new rapid bus system is set to open next month that could help commuters dodge traffic along U.S. Route 1 between Alexandria and Crystal City.
Arlington has put out several new videos pointing to the benefits of the Columbia Pike streetcar, which has come under fire from critics who say it is not worth the roughly $360 million to build the line.
Fairfax County is chipping in 20 percent of the cost of the line, which will run to Bailey's Crossroads.
In the new videos, elected officials and business leaders argue that the streetcar would broaden Arlington's tax base, help move more people, and continue Arlington's history of investment in transit infrastructure like Metro.
The county has hired a management firm to advise officials as the project enters the egineering phase. The county expects to hire a design and engineering firm this fall.
Meanwhile, Arlington is still working on the final touches for the new Metroway busway, a rapid transit system that will connect Crystal City, Potomac Yard and the Braddock Road Metro station in Alexandria.
The bus line is scheduled to open Aug. 24 and will use dedicated bus lanes that have already been built in Alexandria.
The trip along the corridor will get even faster next year when Arlington's work on the initial lanes and stations is completed and the line is extended to Pentagon City.
When service begins in August, Metroway buses will run seven days a week and later at night than they do today, with scheduled trips every 12 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes on weekends. There will be additional trips during rush hour between Crystal City and Potomac Yard, providing service along that stretch of the route every six minutes.
When construction is finished next year, riders will pay on the platforms before boarding the buses to cut down on wait times at each stop. The stations will also have electronic displays showing when the next bus will arrive.
According to the county and transit officials, Metroway is the Washington region's first rapid bus system. And it could serve as an example for expanded and improved bus service in other parts of the region.
Metro will operate the service.
The county has long-term plans to eventually convert the entire stretch into a streetcar line that would tie into the Columbia Pike line.

25 U.S. Code § 1778 - Congressional findings and purpose
prev | next
(a) Findings
The Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1876, the Torres-Martinez Indian Reservation was created, reserving a single, 640-acre section of land in the Coachella Valley, California, north of the Salton Sink. The Reservation was expanded in 1891 by Executive order, pursuant to the Mission Indian Relief Act of 1891, adding about 12,000 acres to the original 640-acre reservation.
(2) Between 1905 and 1907, flood waters of the Colorado River filled the Salton Sink, creating the Salton Sea, inundating approximately 2,000 acres of the 1891 reservation lands.
(3) In 1909, an additional 12,000 acres of land, 9,000 of which were then submerged under the Salton Sea, were added to the reservation under a Secretarial Order issued pursuant to a 1907 amendment of the Mission Indian Relief Act. Due to receding water levels in the Salton Sea through the process of evaporation, at the time of the 1909 enlargement of the reservation, there were some expectations that the Salton Sea would recede within a period of 25 years.
(4) Through the present day, the majority of the lands added to the reservation in 1909 remain inundated due in part to the flowage of natural runoff and drainage water from the irrigation systems of the Imperial, Coachella, and Mexicali Valleys into the Salton Sea.
(5) In addition to those lands that are inundated, there are also tribal and individual Indian lands located on the perimeter of the Salton Sea that are not currently irrigable due to lack of proper drainage.
(6) In 1982, the United States brought an action in trespass entitled "United States of America, in its own right and on behalf of Torres-Martinez Band of Mission Indians and the Allottees therein v. the Imperial Irrigation District and Coachella Valley Water District", Case No. 82–1790 K (M) (hereafter in this section referred to as the "U.S. Suit") on behalf of the Torres-Martinez Indian Tribe and affected Indian allottees against the two water districts seeking damages related to the inundation of tribal- and allottee-owned lands and injunctive relief to prevent future discharge of water on such lands.
(7) On August 20, 1992, the Federal District Court for the Southern District of California entered a judgment in the U.S. Suit requiring the Coachella Valley Water District to pay $212,908.41 in past and future damages and the Imperial Irrigation District to pay $2,795,694.33 in past and future damages in lieu of the United States request for a permanent injunction against continued flooding of the submerged lands.
(8) The United States, the Coachella Valley Water District, and the Imperial Irrigation District have filed notices of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the district court's judgment in the U.S. Suit (Nos. 93–55389, 93–55398, and 93–55402), and the Tribe has filed a notice of appeal from the district court's denial of its motion to intervene as a matter of right (No. 92–55129).
(9) The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has stayed further action on the appeals pending the outcome of settlement negotiations.
(10) In 1991, the Tribe brought its own lawsuit, Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, et al., v. Imperial Irrigation District, et al., Case No. 91–1670 J (LSP) (hereafter in this section referred to as the "Indian Suit") in the United States District Court, Southern District of California, against the two water districts, and amended the complaint to include as a plaintiff, Mary Resvaloso, in her own right, and as class representative of all other affected Indian allotment owners.

The Feltzer is a sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. In San Andreas and IV, it appears as a two-door convertible, although each rendition is based on a different model of Mercedes-Benz.
3D Universe
In GTA San Andreas, the Feltzer is a convertible, and is based on the real-life Mercedes-Benz R107, specifically the 380SL cabriolet.
HD Universe
In GTA IV, the Benefactor Feltzer is a sports-luxury convertible, based on a 2001-2011 Mercedes Benz SL with the rear based on the second and third generation Mercedes-Benz SLK. Feltzers may be seen with a folding hardtop, (like the real life SL), a softtop, or with the top down. Some are equipped with a badgeless black mesh grille, while others feature a standard three-bar grille with a Benefactor emblem. The rims are similar to those used by Brabus, an aftermarket Mercedes-Benz tuning division.
The Feltzer returns in GTA V, appearing to be more customized than previous iterations, with a body kit and larger wheels. The headlights seem to be the only other change, looking quite similar to the Rebla's.It now resembles a facelifted version of the 2008-2011 Mercedes Benz SL with the styling cues from the Black Series Variant.It Shares the rim design with the Banshee
3D Universe
The Feltzer in San Andreas has a good top speed, but its handling is rather unsatisfactory, as its light weight acts against it. It also has rather slow acceleration.
HD Universe
The GTA IV rendition of the Feltzer is powered by a supercharged 3.8L V8, coupled to a high-performance 5 speed gearbox in FR configuration. The Feltzer is the eighth-fastest car in the game at 178mph(286 km/h), but is the slowest of the sports cars. Acceleration is decent, yet strong enough to easily break traction on the rear wheels when punched.
The Feltzer has developed a reputation for being one of the best drifting cars in the game due to the high level of torque generated by the supercharger. The suspension is firm and responsive, keeping the Feltzer level in the corners, albeit with some fishtailing at high speeds. These qualities provide an accurate representation of the unforgiving nature the Mercedes coupes provide. Braking is good, and ABS is an available option, though not standard. The Feltzer withstands high-speed frontal crashes well, thanks to its luxury build, and can sustain numerous frontal hits without failing or catching fire. The car can not withstand gunfire very well, however, and also leaves the player highly vulnerable if the player is driving with the top down.
Modifications (San Andreas)
The Feltzer can only be modified at TransFender.
- Color
- Wheels
- Nitro (All)
- Bass Boost
- Hydraulics
Unique Variants
In San Andreas, a bulletproof, damage-proof, explosion-proof and fireproof Feltzer can be found (and is used) in the final story mission, End of the Line. It is not obtainable, unfortunately.
A unique pink Feltzer owned by Gracie Ancelotti appears during ...I'll Take Her. Upon completion of the mission, the car is driven away to be disposed of by an NPC, but can be obtained if the player is quick on the draw.
This unique Feltzer is one of four vehicles in GTA IV referred to by name, the others being the "shitty beige Willard" from It's Your Call, the "silver Blista" taken in Clean Getaway and the Romero used in Undertaker.
Notable Owners
- Patrick McReary is seen driving a bright red Feltzer in his GTA IV Character Trailer.
- Gracie Ancelotti owns a unique pink Feltzer, as previously stated.
- Shirley owns one of a random color during Jeff's first encounter.
- Wu Zi Mu owns a Feltzer, and is used in the mission Fender Ketchup.
- The name of the Feltzer may be a crude reference to the sexual act of "felching".
- In GTA IV, if the player takes a Feltzer with its top down to a car wash, the vehicle will be washed by hand (as with all convertibles).
- In GTA IV, the Feltzer doesn't have side windows, so hijacking is done by just opening the door, However, the car features a car alarm, and will trigger when the door is opened.
- The Feltzer plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Radio Los Santos in GTA San Andreas.
- Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 or Fusion FM in Grand Theft Auto IV.
- Beta artwork of the Feltzer in San Andreas showed the Feltzer with 4 doors.
- Gracie Ancelotti's pink Feltzer is referred to as purple by the stats menu.
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from the player, with the Feltzer fetching $3000.
- It is possible to kill Stevie when he is driving away the pink Feltzer. This will not affect Stevie's Car Thefts.
- All Feltzers' alarms go on when being stolen.
San Andreas
- Sometimes spawns in San Fierro.
- Occasionally found in Las Venturas.
- Parked at a highway rest stop in southeast Flint County, near Back o' Beyond, (only available when wanted for export; sometimes locked).
- Importable from the container ship in Easter Basin, San Fierro after completing all export lists. (Costs $28,000, Saturdays only)
- Commonly spawns in Financial, San Fierro.
- Frequently spawns during the Valet side-mission.
- Spawns around Hove Beach, Broker.
- Rarely spawns around Cerveza Heights, Dukes.
- Commonly spawns around Star Junction and The Exchange, Algonquin.
- Occasionally spawns around The Triangle, Algonquin.
- Sometimes spawns around Presidents City, Algonquin.
- Spawns in Acter Industrial Park right next to the Alderney State Correctional Facility.
- Spawns around Middle Park, Algonquin.
- Spawns frequently in Suffolk, Algonquin when driving a Schafter.
- In the mission Lure , Francis McReary leaves a Feltzer for the player south of the Middle Park East Safehouse in a small parking area.

Today marks the 17th anniversary of the death of singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain. Cobain led the early nineties Seattle band Nirvana from college rock radio obscurity to radio-friendly, mainstream fame. Their most successful album, Nevermind, has sold close to 30 million copies worldwide. Nevermind featured their hit single, Smells Like Teen Spirit, a song that became a generational anthem of sorts, embodying Generation X's ennui and collective angst. Of local interest, the famous photograph of Cobain that appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine after his death was taken in Kalamazoo.

The Tahoma is a four-door sedan and lowrider featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Tahoma resembles a 1981-1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Sport Coupe (not to be mistaken with the SS or LS Sport Coupes) but has been converted into a four-door sedan. The four-door design may have been to simultaneously emulate 1980's sedans, but the overall chassis design is much closer to the Monte Carlo.
The Tahoma is tailored to function as a lowrider, making the car the only other four-door vehicle other than the Savanna to be designed as such and may appear on the streets with already built-in hydraulics. As a result, the car can only be modified at Loco Low Co. (see #Modifications).
Acceleration, handling, speed, and brakes are all highly competent and satisfying. On top of this, the Tahoma is capable of withstanding a good deal of damage, making this vehicle one of the most balanced in San Andreas in terms of performance aspects.
Modification of the Tahoma can only be performed at Loco Low Co. However, like the Voodoo, the Tahoma's choices of customization is far more limited than most other lowriders.
The modifications include:
|Car Color 1
|$ 150
|Car Color 2
|$ 150
|$ 1200
|$ 1560
|$ 620
|$ 1140
|Car Stereo
|Bass Boost
|$ 100
|$ 1500
|2x Nitrous
|$ 200
|5x Nitrous
|$ 500
|10x Nitrous
|$ 1000
- The default radio station in the Tahoma is Bounce FM.
- In the mission House Party there will be two bulletproof and fireproof Tahomas that are locked when the mission is over. The method to acquire them is depicted on this video.
- In the GTA San Andreas strategy guide's "Auto Trader" section, the Tahoma is erroneously listed as being a supported vehicle at TransFender.
- The Tahoma is the only four-door sedan lowrider in GTA Series.
- Found usually in Ballas turf, as they use the Tahoma as one of their gang cars.
- Usually found in the rural areas of San Andreas. Principally around Whetstone and Flint County.

Disruptive Innovation: Higher EducationDownload audio (MP3)
Last week, former Silicon Valley CEO Ben Nelson announced that he has raised $25 million to start an "elite university" which would exist exclusively online. The Minerva Project launch comes at a time when public and private educational institutions are dramatically expanding their online presence. But can an Internet-only school really compete with Stanford, Berkeley and the Ivy League?
Host: Michael Krasny
- Anant Agarwal, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a teacher for MITx, an online learning initiative
- Ben Nelson, founder and CEO of The Minerva Project, a new online university, and former CEO of online photo finishing company Snapfish
- Salman Khan, founder and executive director of the Khan Academy, an educational non-profit focused on providing quality education for everyone
- Sebastian Thrun, Google vice president and fellow, part-time research professor at Stanford University and founder of Udacity, a company focused on bringing free university-level education to everyone

Where can I find the Users's Manuals for the Epson Perfection 1240U scanner?
Your scanner software CD-ROM includes an electronic Reference Guide for your scanner. The manual is in HTML format, so you need a browser-such as Microsoft(r) Internet Explorer 3.0 or later or Netscape Navigator(r) 3.0 or later-to view it. You always have easy access to your EPSON Smart Panel electronic manual. It is automatically copied to your hard drive when you install the software. In Windows, you can access the manual by clicking Start, Programs, EPSON Smart Panel for Scanner, then EPSON Smart Panel for Scanner User's Manual. On a Macintosh, open the EPSON Smart Panel for Scanner folder and double-click SMART PANEL for Scanner Manual. If you already have Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 3.0 or later) on your system, the manual opens in Acrobat Reader automatically. If you don't have Acrobat Reader, you can install it from the CD-ROM. Your Bonus software may also include electronic manuals in PDF format. After installing the software, check its program folder to see if an electronic manual is available.
