- Mother allegedly said son was dead months before discovery
Months before authorities found the remains of 3-year-old Caleb Pacheco on Sunday, the boy's mother had told an ex-boyfriend that her son's body was underneath a Sterling mobile home the two had once shared.
Joshua Briggs, the ex-boyfriend of the boy's mother, Juanita Kinzie, met with Kinzie at a Castle Rock hotel near the end of summer in 2011. During the conversation, Kinzie told Briggs that she had made a mistake and that Caleb was gone, according to an arrest affidavit.
When Briggs asked what Kinzie meant, she said that he "was with God" and still at the trailer. Briggs never talked to authorities about the conversation until Sunday, the same day Caleb's body was found.
Kinzie, 24, was arrested in Denver Sunday night, after authorities found the unrecognizable remains of her son tucked underneath a mobile home. She faces a charge of first-degree murder in connection with the death, and is being held without bond in Logan County jail.
Caleb's family had not seen him or Kinzie since January 2011. Kinzie's sister, Yolanda Kinzie-Graber, cared for the boy in late 2010 for about a month before Kinzie demanded Caleb back. Kinzie-Graber, 36, of Sterling, was concerned about returning the boy to her sister — who she said had a long-time methamphetamine addiction — but social workers with Logan County Social Services told her she had no legal rights to keep the boy, she said.
Kinzie-Graber spent the next year searching for Caleb and called social services in multiple counties more than 70 times, she said.
None could help her locate Caleb.
The Colorado Department of Human Services will complete a child fatality review to investigate any rules violations or problems with established practices in Caleb's case, said spokeswoman Liz McDonough.
"The investigations are completed for any child whose death is a result of abuse or neglect and (if they) have had contact with the county child welfare system within a period of two years of the death," McDonough said. "This case met each of those criteria."
The report will take 90 to 120 days to complete.
Because the investigation is ongoing and a Logan County judge issued a gag order in the case — which halts the release of additional information — the department cannot release details about Caleb's case, McDonough said. She could not confirm whether the department received calls from the child's family during the past year.
Last week, Kinzie-Graber started a Facebook page asking people to help find her nephew.

Someone contacted the Logan County Sheriff's Department about the Facebook page, which in turn sparked an investigation into Caleb and Kinzie's whereabouts, according to the arrest affidavit.
On Sunday, an officer from the Denver Police Department contacted Logan County authorities after he contacted Kinzie in connection with a disturbance. Kinzie appeared to be under the influence of meth and told paramedics that Caleb was dead.
Soon after, investigators were contacted by Briggs' family who own the trailer Briggs and Kinzie shared in Sterling. Investigators interviewed Briggs at the Logan County Sheriff's Office.
Briggs, who is being held in the Logan County Detention Center on charges in unrelated cases, also told investigators that when he helped Kinzie move out of the mobile home earlier that year. Kinzie asked him to check the pipes under the mobile home. While he was underneath the home, he saw a pile of blankets that "didn't look right" and "gave him a weird feeling."
He also said he smelled a horrible odor under the mobile home.
Kinzie was placed on a mental health hold on Sunday at Denver Health Medical Center and later arrested.
When authorities looked under the mobile home, they found blankets and plastic just to the right of an opening in the siding around the base of the home. Inside the bundle they found skeletal remains consistent with a small child.

The labels are only temporary. I decided that since this is for a game, and placement of each race and their primary area or city matters significantly in the design, I need to place them and map out each region BEFORE doing anything visual to the actual map.
This is the final continent however, so all critiques are welcomed on the continent. Obviously, there are not even rivers in this, but I will most likely have rivers alongside all of the cities, or most of them.
I was quite impressed with my placement of 8 regions, along with the placement of 64 factions that will eventually be in the game (for a total of 256 character choices, once the game is absolutely complete or has many expansions to it to allow them to turn from NPC/Monster to Playable character.)
Here are the regions, open to critique and advice:
The North (Light Blue) - Tundra & Taiga. To the south where it says "Mountains" repeatedly, bordering the gray region, is a wall-like set of mountains. The North is mostly a barren Tundra to the west, and towards the east begins to fill with Taiga, which blends into "The Forest" region (Dark Green color) which is a heavily forested region with both Taiga in the north and normal forests in the majority. The cold environment is actually slanted a bit (think an arrow pointing NORTH WEST) So the NorthWest is actually the coldest, while the east begins to warm up some, which along with the mountains, explains why The North's west side is frozen wasteland, while its east side gets smaller and more forested.
"The Forest" (Dark Green) is magical land, with waterfalls, rivers, lakes full of faeries, and home to the wood elves and underground city of the Gnomes who harvest magical mushrooms which grow from the enchanted soil.
The Iron Kingdom (Gray) is a cold, snowy environment- and extremely mountainous. To the south, is the region "The Hills", so on the border of The Hills (Orange-ish color) are smaller mountains, up until it tapers off into grassland hills. The more north of The Iron Kingdom, the higher the peaks of the mountains. The mountains and rocky terrain cover the majority of The Iron Kingdom, which is rich in Metals & precious, magical stone gems.
The Hills (Orange-ish color) is luxurious farmland, and what is the best land in the continent. Lakes, rivers, and fertile land, it has a lot of hills in the north, and tapers off into plains and flatland in the south. To the east of "The Hills" (Orange) are low mountains, which create The Desert region (White/Pale color). This is mostly desert and oasis.
"Paradise Cove" (white/pale color, just below The Forest) is the world's largest city, and the city of Trade. This is *THE* city to live if you like urban environments. It is a coastal city, and I plan to have a lot of rivers to assist it in having a good reason for being "The City of Trade". This is home to pirates and sailors, among other merchants.
"The Plains" (Pink) is not very developed, but I assume it will be mostly flatland, grassland, and Savannah. To the south, is the "City of Angels" where Angels, Paladins, and Cleric type humans protect its borders from the "HellFire" region (Dark Red). I imagine I will have either mountains or a "Great Wall" on the border, with the City of Angels as a central point, that the church types built to protect from the "Evil City of Demons". The giants/elementals, walls, and mountains are meant to separate or collect Trade into specific areas. Paradise Cove is suppose to be amazing at Trade because it has lush rivers and openings in the mountains to acces the Hills and The Plains, an open sea to access the jungle region and forest region, along with diplomacy with the various races to trade with the Hellfire and Iron Kingdom.
"HellFire Region" (red) is a burnt ash land, volcanoes, and rivers of streaming lava and fire. The creatures which reside are immune to this fire, and either live in volcanoes, or in safer regions such as the human's "City of Madness" which is cooled off some by the ocean. The Minotaurs live in labyrinths underneath the border between the City of Angels and Hellfire region.
Finally, is the "Jungle" region (light green, most southeast). This is thick jungle to the north of it, tropical islands to the east, and marshes to the south.
That is about it, for details on why each region is the way it is, and the big mountains which separate some of the regions.

A former military working dog is spending his retirement helping veterans and visiting Fort Bragg's Womack Army Medical Center.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Brit is trained to help injured veterans and participate in Patriot Guard events, including funerals. The 8-year-old German shepherd was a narcotics detection dog for a military police unit based in Washington until he was adopted earlier this year.
Mark and Jasmine Russell of Fayetteville fought for 11 months to adopt Brit. They say they wanted to thank a military working dog with a comfortable retirement. Jasmine Russell says Britt easily passed therapy classes and is particularly popular among soldiers who served overseas.
She says some soldiers break down in tears while hugging Brit. She adds that every day of that 11-month wait was worth it.

Comments On Dec 29, 2012:This is a great way to keep your spokes tightened to the correct PSI without over tightening. I do not leave the house without the torque wrench because I have had problems with after- market wheel sets that the spokes constantly loosen. The only reason I rated this product a 4 is the spoke heads for the front wheel had to be filed because it was too tight and started to stripe the spoke.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Economic Religion vs. Environmental Religion in America
Recorded: Thursday, October 7, 2010
Part 1 |
Part 2
Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H. Nelson in his analysis of the roots of economics and environmentalism and their mutually antagonistic relations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The present debate raging over global warming exemplifies the clash of these two public theologies.

Steve and his fuzzy companions have also been quite successful in their hunt for the rarest of rare beasts across Azeroth. For your viewing pleasure Ironsteve has put together what could almost be considered rare spawn wallpaper below.
Ironsteve has had a couple of close calls, and he is realizing that this challenge is only going to get harder as he continues his quest. Ironsteve has also realized from past experience (perhaps in a previous life?) a few rules to live by that can be helpful in avoiding death, especially when that one death is the final death. Those are:
- Stay away from elevators, edges of cliffs, tall structures, anywhere where falling is a possibility.
- Stick to green mobs. Green mobs you will be far more likely to hit/crit, and their aggro radius's are much shorter than higher level mobs.
- Clear the area! If you see something that you need to loot on the ground for example, and there are 10 mobs between you and it. CLEAR THEM. All of them. Especially those perky humanoid mobs that like to run away and grab all of their friends when they get low on health. Believe me, it's worth the extra minute or two of clearing.
- Stick to roads, don't run through packs of hostile mobs. Getting dismounted with four rabid bears and a handful of zombies chasing after you can be a quick death sentence.
- Don't go into caves, houses, castles, anything where you have to go INSIDE of something. If you feel you just have to or you'll explode, make sure the mobs are at least a few levels lower than you.
- Don't go afk, just don't. If you absolutely have to, hearth out or get to a "safe" spot and log out. The last thing you need is for hostile npc's to start spawning back in on top you, or worse -- for Deathwing to take you out while your toon was sitting around at some friendly quest hub waiting for you to come back.
- Don't do any escort quests. Some escort quests out there can spawn 3-4 mobs at a time, all of which are hell bent on seeing you very much dead. Usually the npc's we're escorting are incompetent fools that run off and pull more angry mobs and they don't even fight for themselves. Believe me, escorts = bad.
- If a particular quest line is getting noticeably difficult, stop. You can always come back to it when your a higher level.
- Most Importantly - BE AWARE of your surroundings. Pan your camera around, look behind your toon, watch for patrols, listen for that stealthy rogue sound, look to the sky (if it turns red - HEARTH).

Sandy Donald said lead levels in tap water isn't something the average homebuyer is aware of, but the results of a recent provincial study will change that.

Land Use
Historical Land Cover/Land Use
Henry Rowe Schoolcraft provides, perhaps, the best early (1821) account of what types of land cover existed within the North Fork Watershed. This is due, in part, to the fact that he and his companion, Levi Pettibone, traveled nearly the entire length of the North Fork River in 1818. Schoolcraft (1821) described the upper portion of the river as being " wholly composed of springs which gush at almost every step from its calcareous banks" and the water as "very pure, cold, and transparent". He mentions "rich bottom lands, covered with elm, beech, oak, maple, sycamore, and ash". He continues to describe bottom lands covered with "luxuriant growth of forest-timber, shrubs, vines, cane, and greenbriar, often so matted and interwoven together, that our progress is not only retarded, but attended with great fatigue". Schoolcraft and his companion, fatigued by the impeded progress in the valley of the North Fork River, moved to the uplands between the North Fork and Bryant Creek, the largest tributary in the watershed. Schoolcraft described this area as "an open barren, with very little timber, or under-brush, and generally level". The broader, more gently sloping uplands are believed to have been composed of open woodlands with occasional prairie and savanna openings with post oak and black oak being the principal tree species (MDC 1997). The land cover of the more dissected landscape nearer the North Fork River and Bryant Creek are believed to have been primarily composed of oak and oak-pine forest with a mixture of hardwoods in the bottoms. Two "pineries" are known to have existed within the North Fork Watershed area in the mid 1800s which encompassed approximately 220 square miles (Smith 1990).
The Ozarks are believed to have first been explored approximately 14,000 years ago by semi nomadic Native American tribes which subsisted as hunters and foragers (Rafferty 1980, Jacobson and Primm 1994). Approximately 1000 B.C., tribes on the fringes of the Ozarks became less nomadic, existing in more permanent villages and incorporating agricultural practices as a means of subsistence. Tribes in the Ozarks interior did not begin adopting these practices until A.D. 900. By A.D. 1500 this culture had disappeared as large agricultural base villages began to grow along the eastern fringe of the Ozarks and the Mississippi River. During this period the interior of the Ozarks was used primarily as a seasonal hunting ground as well as a source for flint and chalcedony for making tools. It is believed that a climatic shift to cooler, drier summers and the resulting failure of maize crops on which early agriculture was based, may have caused an abrupt abandonment of the larger villages. Remnants of these villages and tribes reassembled to form the Osage Tribe which existed throughout much of the Ozarks and was present as European settlement of the area began to occur in the late 1700s and early 1800s (Jacobson and Primm 1994). Native American use of fire, as well as naturally occurring incidences of fire (i.e. lightening strikes), are believed to have been a large determining factor in the types of vegetation found by Schoolcraft and others as exploration of the Ozarks interior began to occur after the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Native Americans are believed to have set fires for many reasons from harassment of enemies to aiding in hunting. These fires stimulated warm-season grasses such as bluestem and eliminated woody undergrowth thus creating open woodlands or savannas.
European settlement of the Ozark fringe began in the early 1700's under French and, later, Spanish political control. After the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, American settlers began settling the same areas earlier occupied by the Spanish and French. The Osage, in treaty with the federal government, relinquished claims to much of the Ozarks interior in 1808. However, the Osage refused to relinquish their hunting rights in this area (Rafferty 1980). Settlement of the Ozarks interior increased after the war of 1812 (Jacobson and Primm 1994). However, the region remained sparsely settled until the late 1800's. Many of the early settlers came from states such as Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee (Rafferty 1983). Most of these states were previously considered the frontier prior to the Louisiana Purchase. Many of these settlers brought along skills they had learned for survival in frontier territory. Early settlers subsisted by hunting and fishing as well as maintaining gardens in the small bottomland areas which they cleared. In addition, early settlers raised livestock which grazed on the open range of the slopes and uplands in the summer. In the winter, livestock were fed from forage crops cultivated and harvested from the bottom lands (Jacobson and Primm 1994). The annual practice of burning was continued by early settlers in order to enhance the livestock forage of the uplands. In addition to the influx of settlers of European origin which occurred after the war of 1812, Native American tribes such as the Cherokee, Shawnee, and Delaware which had been displaced from the East began moving through the region (Piland 1991). As the population of the area increased, more settlers were forced to settle the uplands (Smith 1990). Fenced pasture began to replace the practice of open range. These two factors reduced the use of fire on the uplands thus decreasing the grassland and savanna type land cover (Smith 1990; Jacobson and Primm 1994). This region remained sparsely settled until the late 1800's, when the economic values of the vast timber resources were discovered.
The distribution of the first extensive commercial timber cutting in the Ozarks was limited by the distribution of shortleaf pine and transportation routes provided by rivers and railroads (Jacobson and Primm 1994). The timber industry was an important component in the economy of small communities in the North Fork Watershed, although probably not on as large a scale as areas of the Eastern Ozarks such as the Current and Eleven Point Watersheds. Large areas of pine are reported to have existed within the watershed. Geologist B.F. Shumard told of many sawmills in the area in 1853-54. These mills produced lumber which was then hauled by ox team to growing communities such as Springfield, Bolivar, and Linn Creek (Robins 1991a). Timber harvest estimates in Douglas County from around the turn of the century indicate that average annual timber product shipments were approximately 3,000 railroad ties, 4,800 fence and mine posts, 1,200,000 board feet of hardwood lumber, and 680 pieces of piling (Williams 1904). The pine forest during this time was being harvested at a rate of "2,500,000 feet annually" (Williams 1904).
As the logging industry began to decline in the area, residents turned increasingly toward farming as a means of survival. In 1904, the counties of Howell and Douglas had approximately 154,000 acres (26%) and 126,885 acres (25%) under cultivation respectively (Williams 1904). Williams (1904) states that in 1904 Ozark County had 79,085 acres (16%) of "improved farmlands". Estimates of 1899 cropland within Douglas, Howell, and Ozark Counties indicate combined harvested acres of wheat and corn were 58,366; 77,943; and 44,208 respectively (Table Lu01) (MASS 1999). This land use would have undoubtedly contributed significantly to erosion and thus sedimentation and an increased gravel load in the streams of the watershed. As the century progressed, much of the area was found to be unsuitable for this endeavor. Thus began a period of emigration from the region which, except for a period during the Great Depression, would continue through the 1970s (Robins 1991b).
In the early 1930s, a large portion of land within the North Fork Watershed was purchased by the federal government for the creation of the Mark Twain National Forest (Robins 1991c). Initial natural resource development was accomplished by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC); a work program of the Great Depression. Thus began the era of natural resource management in the area.
An evaluation of present (1993) conditions of Ozark streams, pre-settlement period historical descriptions, stratigraphic observations, and accounts of oral-history responses on river changes during the last 90 years, led Jacobson and Primm (1994) to the conclusion that Ozark streams are disturbed from their natural conditions. They state that this "disturbance has been characterized by accelerated aggradation of gravel, especially in formerly deep pools, accelerated channel migration and avulsion, and growth of gravel point bars". Jacobson and Primm (1994) also suggest that "land use changes have disturbed parts of the hydrologic or sediment budgets or both".
Although detailed data from the North Fork Watershed has not been compiled, Jacobson and Primm (1994) summarized the land use changes from pre-settlement conditions to the 1970's in the Jack's Fork Watershed (Table Lu02), which borders the North Fork Watershed to the Northeast as follows:
"Different types of land use have taken place on different parts of the landscape, and at different times, resulting in a complex series of potential disturbances. Uplands have been subjected to suppression of a natural regime of wildfire, followed by logging, annual burning to support open range, patchy and transient attempts at cropping, a second wave of timber cutting, and most recently, increased grazing intensity. Valley side slopes have been subjected to logging, annual burning, and a second wave of logging. Valley bottoms were the first areas to be settled, cleared, and farmed; removal of riparian vegetation decreased the erosional resistance of the bottom lands. More recently, some areas of bottomland have been allowed to grow back into forest. The net effects of this complex series of land-use changes are difficult to determine and separate from natural variability."
Jacobson and Primm (1994) offer the following observations which summarize the probable, qualitative changes to runoff, soil erosion, and riparian erosional resistance on parts of the Ozarks landscape relative to man's impact:
- " Initial settlement of the Ozarks may have initiated moderate channel disturbance because of decreased erosional resistance of cleared bottom lands. This trend would have been countered by decreased annual runoff and storm runoff that accompanied fire suppression in the uplands.
- Because of low-impact skidding methods and selective cutting during initial logging for pine during the Timber-boom period, logging would have had minimal effects on runoff and soil erosion. Low-impact methods and selective cutting continued to be the norm in timber harvesting of hardwoods until the late 1940's, when mechanization and diversified markets for wood products promoted more intensive cutting. Locally, log and tie jams, tie slides, and logging debris may have added to channel instability by diverting flow, but because aggradation and instability also occurred on streams not used for floating timber, these factors were not necessary to create channel disturbance.
- Significant channel disturbance probably began in the Timber-boom period because of continued clearing of bottom land forests and road building in the riparian zone. This hypothesis is supported by evidence that significant stream disturbance began before the peak of upland destabilization in the post-timber-boom period. Extreme floods during 1895 to 1915 may have combined with lowered erosional thresholds on bottom lands to produce the initial channel disturbance.
- The regional practice of annual burning to maintain open range had the most potential to increase annual and storm runoff and soil erosion because of its considerable areal extent and repeated occurrence. Burning would have been most effective in increasing runoff and erosion on the steep slopes that had been recently cut over during the timber boom. Generally, accelerated soil erosion was not observed after burning, and relict gullies presently (1993) are not apparent on valley-side slopes and uplands. These observations support the hypothesis that burning did not produce substantial quantities of sediment.
- The greatest potential for soil erosion on valley slopes and upland areas occurred during the post-timber-boom period when marginal upland areas were cultivated for crops. Accelerated erosion of plowed fields was observed and noted by oral-history respondents and by soil scientists working in the Ozarks during the post-timber-boom period.
- Valley bottoms have the longest history of disturbance from their natural condition because they were the first to be settled, cleared, and farmed. The lowered resistance to stream erosion that results from removing or thinning riparian woodland would have been a significant factor, especially on small to medium sized streams for which bank stability and roughness provided by trees are not overwhelmed by discharge. Disturbance of bottom land riparian forest increased as free-range grazing, crop production, and use of valley bottoms for transportation expanded and reached a peak in the post-timber-boom period. Headward extension of the channel network because of loss of riparian vegetation may have increased conveyance of the channel network (and hence flood peaks downstream) and removed gravel from storage in first and second order valleys at accelerated rates. This hypothesis is supported by a lack of other source areas for gravel and by observations that gravel came from small stream valleys, not off the slopes.
- During present (1993) conditions, channel instability seems somewhat decreased in areas where the riparian woodland has recovered, but stability is hampered by high sedimentation rates because of large quantities of gravel already in transport and effects of instability in upstream reaches that lack a riparian corridor.
- Land use statistics indicate that the present trend in the rural Ozarks is toward increased populations of cattle and increased grazing density. This trend has the potential to continue the historical stream-channel disturbance by increasing storm runoff and sediment supply and thus remobilization of sediment already in transit."
Figures Lu01 and Lu02 show trends in livestock and human populations in the three primary counties of the North Fork Watershed (Douglas, Howell, and Ozark). Livestock populations in all three counties have experienced similar trends throughout the period of record (MASS 1999). The data indicates that the largest increase in livestock populations occurred in the 1970s. These populations have actually leveled off or declined since 1980.
Human population in Douglas and Ozark Counties have experienced similar trends in comparison to each other (OSEDA 1998). Populations of both counties have decreased since the turn of the century. However, populations have experienced a slight increase since 1970. Data indicates that the Howell County population trend was similar to those of Douglas and Ozark County until 1940. After 1940 populations of Douglas and Ozark Counties experienced a significant decrease while the population of Howell County remained relatively stable. Since 1970 the population of Howell County has significantly increased.
The 1990 human population within the North Fork Watershed was estimated to be 18,052 (Blodgett J. and CIESIN 1996). Population density in 1990 was approximately 13 persons per square mile as compared to the overall population density for Missouri which was approximately 73 persons per square mile (Figure Lu03). Of course, one must take into account the effect of the states urban centers on this estimate.
Projections of human population increase of Missouri counties have been calculated by the Missouri Office of Administration (MOA), Division of Budget and Planning for three different projection scenarios in a report entitled "Projections of the Population of Missouri Counties By Age, Gender, and Race: 1990 to 2020" (MOA 1994). Combined population estimates for Howell, Douglas, and Ozark Counties from 1990-2020 have been used to calculate percent increase in population for all three scenarios. The scenarios project a combined population increase of 6.2% to 25.3% by the year 2020.
Ecological Classification
The Ecological Classification System (ECS) is a management tool which provides a means of "describing distribution of current and potential natural resources in a manner that considers land capability upfront" using a knowledge of landform, geology, soils, and vegetation patterns (MDC 1997a). There are several levels of classification within the ECS. For purposes of this document the three lowest levels are dealt with. These levels are, in descending order, section, subsection, and land type association (LTA). The North Fork Watershed lies within the Ozarks Highlands Section and intersects 3 subsections and 14 LTAs.
The Ozark Highlands Section consists of very old and highly weathered plateaus which, coupled with its physigraphic diversity and central geographic location relative to the continent, has created a region of unique ecosystems harboring many endemic species.
The subsections intersected by North Fork Watershed include the White River Hills, and the Central Plateau. The White River Hills Subsection "is characterized by hilly dissected lands associated with the North Fork and Bryant Creek valleys. These streams cut principally through Roubidoux and upper Gasconade formations, yielding mainly deep cherty, heavily weathered soils favored by oak-pine woodlands and forests. Gently rolling, moderately dissected Jefferson City-Cotter Dolomite plains occur on the divides between the streams. In addition, unique landscapes with frequent dolomite glade knobs characteristic of this subsection also occur."(MDC 1997a).
The Central Plateau Subsection "represents the high, flat to gently rolling plains that are the least eroded remnant of the Salem Plateau. Underlain primarily by Jefferson City-Cotter dolomites or Roubidoux sandstone/dolomite, the plains are often mantled in a thin layer of loess and have droughty soils. Streams are mainly intermittent, low gradient headwater streams that are often losing. Savannas and woodlands were originally the dominant vegetation types"(MDC 1997a).
Land Type Associations (LTAs)represent the smallest level of the three levels previously mentioned. LTAs (Figure Lu04) intersecting the North Fork Watershed include the Following:
- Ava Oak Woodland Dissected Plain
- Gainesville Oak Woodland Hills
- Howell-Oregon Oak Woodland Dissected Plain
- Romance Oak Woodland Dissected Plain
- Upper Gasconade Oak Woodland Dissected Plain
- Vanzant Oak Woodland Dissected Plain
- West Plains Oak Savanna/Woodland Plain
- Cabool-Mt. Grove Oak Savanna/Woodland Plain
- Bryant Creek Oak-Pine Woodland Forest Hills
- North Fork River Oak-Pine Woodland Forest Hills
- North Fork Pine-Oak Woodland Dissected Plain
- Gainesville Dolomite Glade/Oak Woodland Knobs
- Upper Swan Creek Oak Woodland/Forest Breaks
- North Fork Oak Woodland/Forest Hills
Table Lu03 gives descriptions of LTAs within the watershed.
The Ecological Classification System could prove to be a useful tool for planning and implementing natural resource management activities by providing an indication of what natural resource management options will be more adapted to specific areas thus increasing the success of management decisions as well as helping to ensure that management decisions are ecologically enhancing.
Current Land Use
The Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership (MoRAP) Phase 1 Land Cover Classification (1997) data indicates estimated forest/woodland cover within the North Fork Watershed at 61.9% while grassland/cropland comprises 37.5% of the total land cover (Table Lu04, Figure Lu05, Lu06, and Lu07). While forest/woodland is the dominant cover type within the 6 eleven digit hydrologic units (Upper North Fork, Upper Bryant, Lower North Fork, Lower Bryant, West Norfork Lake, East Norfork Lake) of the watershed, the Upper North Fork Hydrologic Unit contains the highest combined percentage of forest/woodland cover at 65.8 percent. This is due in large part to the fact that much of this watershed is in public ownership as part of the Mark Twain National Forest. Fourteen Digit Hydrologic Unit 30001 (a portion of the Spring Creek-North Subwatershed) has the highest percentage of forest/woodland cover at 82.9 percent. This hydrologic unit is composed of large amounts of public land. Fourteen Digit Hydrologic Unit 50005 (a portion of Norfork Lake Drainage) has the lowest percentage of forest/woodland cover at 22.7 percent (Figure Lu07).
Soil Conservation Projects
As of May 1997, the Douglas and Ozark Counties' Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Natural Resources Conservation Service are sponsoring a 319 Project in the tributaries of the Bryant Creek watershed which lay in both Douglas and Ozark Counties (Figure Lu08). Other participants include the University of Missouri Cooperative Extension Service, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and Consolidated Farm Services Agency. The Missouri Department of Conservation is also providing technical advice (Pratt, personal communication). The watershed contains 250,000 acres with a concentration of approximately 70 dairies, 5000 dairy cows and 30,000 beef cattle. The purpose of the project "proposes demonstration practices and an information program to improve or maintain water quality within the tributaries of the Bryant Creek Watershed in Douglas and Ozark Counties." The project is planning 10 BMP (Best Management Practice) demonstration areas. These will include 3 animal waste management farms, 4 grazing management farms, and 3 riparian corridor management/protection farms with alternative watering systems. The project is scheduled to be completed in June of 2002.
Three Special Area Land Treatment (SALT) projects have been located in the North Fork Watershed (CARES 1999). These project areas are the Becky Cobb Creek Watershed (1253 acres treated), Bird Town Hollow Watershed (2470 acres treated), and Clifty Creek Watershed (1450 acres treated). All three projects have ended with the last one, Clifty Creek, ending in mid-summer of 1999 (Figure Lu08)(CARES 1999 and Bruffett, personal communication).
Public Areas
The North Fork Watershed contains approximately 115,205 acres (13.0%) of public land. (Table Lu05 and Figure Lu09). Approximately 89% (102,365 acres) of the public land is part of the Mark Twain National Forest managed by the United States Forest Service. Within the watershed, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) owns approximately 5,150 acres in association with Norfork Lake. The Missouri Department of Conservation owns approximately 10,075 acres on 14 areas within the Watershed (MDC 1995). The largest MDC area within the watershed is Caney Mountain Conservation Area which is comprised of 6,674 acres (5,192 acres within the watershed). The MDC also leases an additional 5,150 acres of USACOE property bordering Norfork Lake in Missouri (MDC 1995).
There are 4 public accesses with boat ramps on USACOE property on Norfork lake in Missouri. The United States Forest Service has three public stream accesses. These are located at the North Fork Recreation Area off of CC Highway in Ozark County, Hale Crossing on County Road 275 in Douglas County, and Osborn Crossing located on County Road AH-260 in Douglas County. None of these accesses have a boat ramp. Currently stream access and/or frontage to permanently flowing streams exist on 9 of the 15 areas owned by the Missouri Department of Conservation within the watershed. Of these, 3 areas have boat ramps.
The Missouri Department of Conservation Stream Areas Program Strategic Plan (McPherson 1994) includes the acquisition of two stream access sites within the North Fork Watershed. Also planned within the watershed, through the Stream Areas Program Strategic Plan (McPherson 1994), is the eventual acquisition of eight stream frontage tracts. In addition to expanding public use and access, frontage tracts can provide the preservation of representative, threatened, remnant, or critical stream habitats. Acquisition of these access sites and frontage tracts will be dependent on property availability and site suitability.

J.C. Penney Co Inc Stock Sell Recommendation Reiterated (JCP)
TheStreet) -- J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a sell with a ratings score of D . The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself, generally high debt management risk and feeble growth in its earnings per share.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Multiline Retail industry and the overall market, PENNEY (J C) CO's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for PENNEY (J C) CO is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 32.50%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -4.20% trails that of the industry average.
- JCP's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 52.94%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
- JCP's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.85 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 0.22 is very low and demonstrates very weak liquidity.
- PENNEY (J C) CO has improved earnings per share by 16.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PENNEY (J C) CO swung to a loss, reporting -$0.73 versus $1.59 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 84.9% in earnings (-$1.35 versus -$0.73).

Beaufort County deputies said a man was indicted in January for break-in's into vehicles and a shed in May of 2012.
Investigators said around 10:45PM on May 27th, residents called in to report a man trying to get into a shed. A resident tried confronting the suspect, when he ran away.
Neighbors around the home, near Highway 264 East in Belhaven, said the noticed their cars were also broken into, some with cigarettes taken.
On January 4th, after nearly seven months of investigation, the sheriff's office handed the case over to a Grand Jury. The jury indicted 34-year-old James Credle on to counts of felony breaking and entering a motor vehicle, one county of first degree burglary, and one count each of both felony and misdemeanor larceny.
On Monday, January 28th, Credle was served and put in the Beaufort County Jail under a $15,000 secured bond.

Santa Clara, CA (Sports Network) - Kevin Foster scored a game-high 22 points
as the Santa Clara Broncos posted a 70-60 win over the Pepperdine Waves in
West Coast Conference action at the Leavey Center.
Brandon Clark added 15 points for the Broncos (19-8, 7-5 WCC), followed by
Evan Roquemore who tallied 10 points, six rebounds and five assists as they
won their second straight outing.
Pepperdine (12-14, 4-9) was paced by Jordan Baker with 18 points and six
boards, but he also turned the ball over five times before fouling out as the
team had a two-game win streak snapped. Stacy Davis and Jett Raines pitched in
with 12 and 10 points, respectively.
SCU made good on 57.7 percent from the field in the first half, including 6-
of-12 behind the 3-point line, as it claimed a 39-30 advantage at the break.
Pepperdine remained within striking distance thanks to a 12-of-13 showing at
the free-throw line.
In the second half the Broncos dipped to just 37.0 percent from the floor, 2-
of-11 beyond the arc, but still the team played well enough at the defensive
end of the floor to pick up the double-digit win.
The Waves finished the night shooting only 1-of-7 on the perimeter.

The Waldo Canyon fire is almost fully contained, but neighborhoods near the fire area now face a new threat. Hillsides once protected by vegetation are now exposed, which makes the homes below vulnerable to flooding and debris.
KKTV 11 News Chief Meteorologist Brian Bledsoe says flooding concerns are now foremost in his mind.
"We're approaching the height of thunderstorm season here in Colorado," he said, "It's basically the equivalent of pouring a big 'ol glass of water right on your tabletop. It just goes everywhere."
A community meeting was held to discuss the flooding danger on Thursday, July 5, at Centennial Hall. The message was to prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Newly purchased flood insurance policies take 30 days to go into effect.
Homeowners are encouraged to protect themselves by purchasing flood insurance, which is not part of regular homeowner's policies.
Additionally, anyone observing any clogged drainage is asked to call the Colorado Springs Street Division at 719-385-5934, Manitou Springs Public Works at 719-685-2560 or the El Paso County Public Services Department at 719-520-6891.
If flash flooding does occur, seek higher ground immediately. Emergency notifications may be issued, and phones can be registered for those notifications at www.elpasoteller911.org.

text: Rule 203 identifies the requirements for a player to tryout for an ODP program for a state association in which the player does not reside. The first requirement is that the player must be rostered to a team within that other state association. A player that meets the rostering requirement is then allowed to request permission from the two association presidents to tryout for the other states ODP program. The state associations are not required to grant permission.

Advanced Abstractions
I complimented this lady on her abstract sweater and bright red cap. When I told her that it was refreshing to see colorful outfits during the Winter, she responded, "Color Always".

Spatial planning of offshore renewable energies and electricity grid infrastructures in an integrated EU maritime policy.
The SEANERGY 2020 final report highlights the fact that currently there is little in the way of maritime spatial planning (MSP) in Europe's maritime states. However, Member States sharing the same sea basin could benefit from cooperation. The European Commission could provide MSP through a European Directive.
SEANERGY 2020 was a 26 month project, financed by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme. It focused on maritime spatial planning from the offshore renewable energy perspective. It provided policy recommendations on how to promote a more integrated and coordinated approach to maritime spatial planning and how to facilitate the implementation of the 20% Renewables Directive.

Bud, you wanna fly me to Europe for this chat? I think Oxy and I are the only ones left who have been here for 15 years.
For real though, I can't believe it's been that long. I've had similar sorts of conversations like this with Dexter over the years, but basically, what keeps me coming back to the forum despite wanting to lock the doors from the outside and set the server on fire from time to time is the incredible numbers of friends I've made here over the years. Growing up in Indiana and listening to music that wasn't pop, country, or rap meant I had to go online to talk to people who listened to the same music. And even though I listen to totally different music now (with some exceptions...I mean, I do live in Orange County, after all), these are some of my longest friendships going. Which feels weird, but it's how it is.
What's even weirder is that this random website that I started posting on when I was 12 (fuck me, 16 years....) pretty much runs my life now for reasons you know. I still cannot believe that my relationship and where I live can be traced back to this place, and I am a little bit pissed off about that. But, I'm hardly the only one. There have been multiple lasting international relationships that started here. This little corner of the internet is responsible for at least 3 immigrations to the US and Canada for marriage that I'm aware of and I'm sure several more that I don't know about. And then I have to remember the number of death threats and threats of violence and general harassment I've received over the years due to this place and remember that not everything here is awesome, but these are all things everyone knows already. A big part of why I wanted to be a civilian on the forum after being a moderator on and off for the last 10-12 years was to try to enjoy what's special about this place and to be able to selectively ignore what isn't (and, in equal parts, that I'm now a grumpy old woman). A lot of my old friends from this place stopped posting years ago but we still talk all the time, even more often than I get to talk to my oldest friend in real life. I am the first to point out how totally silly this is, but there it is.
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the street
Haha, good guess.
* !
I'm here since 2009 so I'm pretty new...but I really feel part of the comunity especially after having met some guys of the bbs before the Ignition show in Bruxelles, one of the best day of my life ended with a fast meeting with you Noodles, Dexter, Greg and Pete!
So, of course, I love this idea of the podcast and really hope to be able to be part of it but... beside that I thing we should organize a bbs reunion during the next European tour, that I really hope will happen this summer!
I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.

Try to find out what team will be doing the cooking for the class. Because of the number of boxes required and the specific way the boxes must be constructed, they will need a number of people to make boxes for the class. That may be a way to help out.

I am participating in this. In fact, not only me, but my wife, my daughter, my in-laws and a friend. So, we account for 6% of this. This will mean my team will almost be 100% CBJs. Just my younger daughter won't be since she is only 15 and you need to be 18 to be certified.
Should be fun!

Air de Paris is very pleased to announce C'est Wouf!, M/M (Paris)'s new exhibition at Air de Paris, as well as the collective exhibition Pétrone/Pétrole, curated by Vincent Romagny, with bruant&spangaro, Jay Chung & Q Takeki Maeda, Hanne Darboven, David Jourdan, Lisa Holzer, Monica Majoli, Fabian Marti, Carol Rama, Anne Laure Sacriste, Josef Strau and Benjamin Swaim.
Art as practised by M/M(Paris) is a cumulative affair, spreading from medium to medium in a process of endless expansion. M/M's concern is signs: their absolute plasticity and their persistence. Making play with scale and context, the work of this duo founded by Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak in 1992 is fuelled by transpositions of media and form that trigger corresponding effects of meaning. Thus M/M (Paris) exhibitions function equally as updates of their archive and as a pause allowing signs already produced to assume new forms and continue their trajectory.
C'est Wouf ! is specifically a display of their three-dimensional output, featuring domestic items that are either functional or intended for contemplation. At the core of the installation, Infinitable (Mise-en-abîme) (2011) offers a miniature catalogue raisonné of their artefacts set on a replica of the table in their studio. Around this scaled-down nucleus, the gallery is displaying works that are emblematic (Paravent, 2001), hitherto unshown (Left/Right Hemisphere, 2007) or specially created for the exhibition (Pouf (C'est Wouf!), 2013). Wouf, the character who gives his name to the exhibition, conjures up and extends the notion of The Agent (2000), drawn from a rejected project that has become a recurrent part of the M/M (Paris) oeuvre; we imagine him as "man's best friend", a paradoxical embodiment of an affective figure in a simplistic register of forms. He is sheltered – hidden away – under the presentation structures of The Carpetalogue (2012), a group of four carpets that provides a domestic-scale breakdown of M/M's different registers of artistic language: drawing, geometry, photography and writing.
Opening Friday, April 12 at at Air de Paris, 6pm. On display until May 18th.

Star Trek: Borg
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Star Trek: Borg is an interactive video Star Trek game which places the player in the role of a cadet who encounters Q, and is transported to the Battle of Wolf 359.
- From the back cover
- You are Cadet Qaylan Furlong. Your father was killed by the Borg in the battle of Wolf 359. Now, ten years later, the Borg are attacking again, and Starfleet won't allow you to stay aboard the Starship USS Cheyenne to avenge your father's death.
- But Q will.
- He'll do better than that, in fact. He will take you back in time ten years and put you on the same ship as your father to give you a chance to save him... and the entire Federation. It's a mission of extreme danger, difficult choices and surprising results.
- Starring Star Trek favorite, John de Lancie, reprising his role as 'Q'.
- Brace yourself for 120 minutes of ORIGINAL STAR TREK footage, shot entirely on the sound stages at Paramount Studios.
- This 3 CD-ROM set also includes The Picard Dossier, a comprehensive guide to the Borg.
- Introduces the next generation of full-motion full-frame interactive video technology and represents the highest production quality of any digital video product available anywhere.
- Directed by Jim Conway, directory of numbers STAR TREK episodes, including the favorite STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE™ episode "Little Green Men".
- Written by Hilary Bader, a writer for many loved STAR TREK episodes.
- Music composed by Dennis McCarthy, composer of the STAR TREK: VOYAGER™ theme.
- Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.
The player takes on the role of Cadet Qaylan Furlong whose father, Lt. Ralph Furlong, was killed during the Battle of Wolf 359. With the help of Q, the player goes back in time to his father's ship, the Template:ShipClass USS Righteous, to prevent his death and the destruction of the ship.
Game play
Game play is a unique combination of a Myst-style point-and-click adventure and a real-time free-flowing game. The game progresses like a movie, but at certain junctures, the player must make choices (done by clicking on objects or people) which affect the storyline. Additionally, failure to "make a choice" is interpreted as a choice of inaction, which affects the story accordingly.
At any time (when the player is not at a choice-making juncture), the game may be paused, allowing the player to examine his surroundings with a tricorder. Certain tasks require information that can only be gathered in this manner.
During some instances, it is possible to punch Q in the face, and at one point, kick him in the crotch.
Memorable Quotes
"Why? Because I can!"
"Hello! There's a Borg on the bridge! He's not going to sit around and let you scan him (hits the character on head with a tricorder) while he's assimilating the ship!"
"Excuse me, am I mistaken? But isn't there a Borg on the bridge trying to control the ship? What are you going to do? (hits player with tricorder) Scan it to death!?"
"Captain, we're hailing the Borg ship, shields are dropping. (to player) Uh-oh!"
"There's a tight beam transmission going to the Borg cube, computers uploading data about emergency transporters..."
"The Borg are firing, we're gonna die! (turns to player in a calm voice) And it's your fault!"
(Ship explodes)
- - Q and Biraka
"Don't touch what you don't understand!"
"Oh great! Now I'm dead! Not exactly what I wanted."
- - Q, after being injected by a Borg influenced Targus
"Here, take this too."
"I don't think we'll need an emergency medkit. If things get that bad we're probably dead."
- - Q and Targus, as Q gives her a medkit
"Hmmm, this thing is amazing! Did you know it has information on places, systems even people! Look, look at that. Did you know Counselor Biraka was a champion horse jumper?"
- - Q, in a sarcastic voice describing the tricorder
"Do you hear that Sprint? You don't want to hear Furlong talking about his whiny brat now do you? (a targeting reticule appears on Q's head, crotch and torso) I don't know what you're staring at but I don't like it, Just be careful where you point!"
(Q starts to make gestures telling the player to click on Furlong)
"Ow! Oh! What was that for!?"
"For working so hard to make people dislike you."
"And why would I do that?"
"Because you're trying to prove that they actually like you!"
"Oh, spare me Counselor, you don't have the tools to analyze me!"
- - Q and Biraka, after the player chooses to punch Q on the nose
"Come on Quint you'll be OK, just catch your breath. If you just didn't try so hard to make everyone dislike you"
"S-S-Spare me the psychology, Counselor. You don't have the tools to analyze me!"
- - Q and Biraka, after the player chooses to knee Q in the groin
"How is he, doc?"
"I'm sorry... he's just too stupid to live."
- - Targus and Q, after the player electrocutes himself
"We few, we happy few, we band of Borg."
"Well, it's about time. Where have you been? How do you expect to save the universe when you keep dashing off for a sandwich or something? Please, try to be more attentive, for me?"
- - Q to player after repeated failures to choose an option and then finally choosing the right one.
Background Information
- This game was filmed on the Star Trek sets using actual props, scenery and costumes from the big-screen versions. For example, the USS Righteous sets were redressed sets for USS Voyager, while the bridge was a redressed version of the USS Excelsior bridge from "Flashback".
- Much of the battle footage was previously seen in DS9: "Emissary".
- The tricorder prop that Q gives to the player can be seen in use by Hannah Bates when she creates false biosphere breach readings. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society")
- The installer is written from an "in-universe" perspective with the text:
- An audio book was also released, titled Star Trek: Borg - Experience the Collective.
- On the back cover, Dennis McCarthy is mistakenly credited for the theme to Star Trek: Voyager, when in fact, Jerry Goldsmith wrote the theme.
- John de Lancie's costume as a Borg was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay and was previously worn by Michael Reilly Burke, Gary Hunter, and Tom Morga. [1]

The Bijani are a race of nomadic stellar wanderers. They look a lot like the Kobliad, with a bigger head and larger 'beak'. When in great pain, their adrenaline has an unusual effect on their neuropsychology, entering them into a "pain trance" which allows the Bijani to work in very harsh conditions and push their bodies to their physical limits.
USS Cheyenne
The USS Cheyenne (NCC-75435) was a Template:ShipClass starship that was in operation in 2377.
- The Cheyenne utilized footage of the Enterprise-D from The Next Generation.
USS Righteous
USS Righteous (NCC-42451) was an Template:ShipClass that was in service during the mid-2360s.
- Known to be the last of the Excelsior-class, launched right before the battle of Wolf 359.
- In the original timeline
- The USS Righteous was among the first vessels to be destroyed at Wolf 359. The Borg cube killed the Bijani tactical officer and his replacement's ineptitude caused everyone aboard to die at the hands of an unknown Borg energy weapon.
- In the current timeline
- The USS Righteous survived the Battle of Wolf 359. Q's intervention allowed a Starfleet cadet to inhabit the Bijani tactical officer, and the cadet's skill allowed the Righteous to limp away from the battle zone. Q, in an effort to cause minimal damage to the timeline, threw the ship forward in time to a second battle against the Borg occurring in 2377.
- Footage of the Righteous was recycled from VOY: "Flashback". Its destruction is recycled footage from the Excelsior-class Melbourne in DS9: "Emissary". Interior shots were a combination of Voyager and Excelsior rooms and corridors.
