The fireworks continued a week after the 4th of July, and Chicago was once again decimated in thousands of screens across America. Poor Chicago. I hope the IMAX screen on Navy Pier stayed intact. Oh, lord. And Giordano's Pizza, too? I'm suddenly beginning to understand all the hatred towards the Decepticons.
But moving past that Windy City digression, Transformers: Dark of the Moon came out in the top slot for the second weekend, not a surprise considering the next big blockbuster of Summer 2011 doesn't hit until next weekend. The bosses that are horrible and the keeper of the zoo were no match for the second wave of battling robots, massive Michael Bay explosions, and Ken Jeong. That's right, we're still counting him as a factor in all this. Dark of the Moon still sits at the bottom of the Transformers franchise totem pole. It has to best $319.2m in order to overtake 2007's Transformers, $402.1m to beat out Revenge of the Fallen. The first of these seems likely. The second, not so much.
But Transformers 3 is making quite a name for itself as far as the record books go. It has tied with Spider-Man 2 and Avatar as the fastest film to hit $250m in domestic box office. It took Dark of the Moon 12 days to do so. Revenge of the Fallen did it in nine. Also with this weekend take, Dark of the Moon takes over the top spot for 2011 from The Hangover Part II. Sorry, Ken Jeong. Ken Jeong just beat you.
So despite not being as big a hit as the second, most hated entry in the series, Dark of the Moon could end up being a big enough hit that Paramount fast-tracks a fourth film with or without Bay and Shia the Beef. Will it be headlined by Jason Statham or someone much cooler? Trick question. There is no one cooler than Statham.
Elsewhere at the box office, Horrible Bosses hit about as expected, not quite at $30m but high $20ms. For Seth Gordon, it didn't quite match the $31m Four Christmases debuted with in 2008, but to be fair people flock to Christmas movies in November like ants to a sugar stick. It does once again prove that the R-rated comedy is anything but dead or even hit its breaking point with audiences. You keep packing in lewd humor and F-bombs, and we'll keep buying those tickets.
What might have hit his breaking point with audiences is Kevin James. Zookeeper wasn't a huge misfire this weekend, but it didn't drop quite as hard as you might have expected. While it isn't the lowest opening weekend for a James vehicle – The Dilemma debuted earlier this year with $17.8m – it is surprising to see the combination of kids movie and the Paul Blart actor not making serious bank. I guess kids would just rather see a giant, robot boa constrictor toppling a skyscraper than talking animals. And who can blame them?
Here's how the weekend broke down:
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon – $47m (-51.9%) $261m total
- Horrible Bosses – $28.1m NEW
- Zookeeper – $21m NEW
- Cars 2 – $15.2m (-42.1%) $148.8m total
- Bad Teacher – $9m (-38%) $78.7m total
- Larry Crowne – $6.2m (-52.2%) $26.5m total
- Super 8 – $4.8m (-39.1%) $118m total
- Monte Carlo – $3.8m (-49%) $16.1m total
- Green Lantern – $3.1m (-52.3%) $109.7m total
- Mr. Popper's Penguins – $2.8m (-48.5%) $57.7m total
The weekend total came to $141m for the top 10, down from last weekend but that, too, was to be expected given the lack of blockbusters hitting. It's anything but a slump for the Summer, and all of that is going to get swept away and forgotten about come this time next weekend.
Why? Well, a little movie called Winnie the Pooh is coming out next Friday. Although it might not bring in the $100m of something like Dark of the Moon, it'll certainly make us all feel better about ourselves. Oh, yeah, and some weird movie called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 releases, as well. How that didn't go straight to DVD, I'll never know, but we'll see how it can do.
We'll be back on Thursday night to see how the weekend is shaping up.

Kentucky's Final Four precedent
Hope for the Wildcats, the Pressey Paradox and Doug McDermott's season
It was something of a tribute to John Calipari that he could lose all five starters from last season and still enter 2012-13 with his Kentucky team ranked No. 3 in the nation. Let's call that one extreme opinion regarding the Wildcats.
At the other extreme, of course, is the fact that UK was dropped from the rankings entirely after losing consecutive games at Notre Dame and at home against Baylor. At this writing the Wildcats are still unranked in the AP poll. (That won't last.)
In between these two extremes we find Kentucky as it is and perhaps as we should have regarded the Wildcats right from the beginning. Not as good as last season's team by any means, but very good and getting better.
My working assumption all along for this season's team has been that the proper standard of comparison is not the impossibly high precedent set last season by Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones and company, but rather the example presented by Kentucky two seasons ago. Jones was a freshman, Brandon Knight was the point guard and Josh Harrellson was a decidedly underrated big man.
To read how Kentucky compares to the 2010-11 Final Four team, plus other takeaways from Saturday's games, you must be an ESPN Insider.

More On Ugandan First Lady's Support For Anti-Homosexuality Bill
Jim Burroway
September 11th, 2011
Following our initial report yesterday on the leaked U.S. State Department cables fingering Uganda First Lady Janet Museveni as being "ultimately behind" the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, a reader left a comment giving a link to the Wikileaks cable in question, and Paul Canning has more about the cable here. The relevant section begins with a brief description of Paul Nagenda, whose December 12, 2009 column in the pro-government New Vision was seen as an encouraging sign that there were powerful vioces in the government against the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. The cable describes Neganda as "one adviser against many":
The New Vision published a column by senior presidential advisor John Nagenda against the draft anti-homosexuality legislation on December 12. Nagenda is known for challenging prevailing political winds, and has previously advised President Museveni against running for re-election in 2011. His column compared the bill to McCarthyism and the Inquisition, and urged Parliament to vote against it. In a separate discussion with PolOff (political officer), Nagenda said the New Vision – which is edited by a Dutch national – initially refused to run his column, and agreed only after Nagenda threatened to never again write for the newspaper. Nagenda said he felt morally obligated to speak out against the legislation, and accused those behind it of obfuscating differences between homosexuality, rape, incest, and pedophilia.
Nagenda said President Museveni is "quite intemperate" when it comes to homosexuality, but that the President will likely recognize the dangers of passing the anti-homosexuality legislation. He said First Lady Janet Museveni, who he described as a "very extreme woman", is ultimately behind the bill. He added that the bill's most vociferous public supporter, Ethics and Integrity Minister Nsaba Buturo, is a "very bad guy" responsible for a campaign of mass arrests – known by the Swahili term 'panda gari' – during the early 1980s under the Obote II regime while serving as Kampala's District Commissioner. Nagenda said Buturo is using the anti-homosexuality legislation to redefine himself and "will do anything in his power to be a populist." He advised the U.S. and other donors to refrain from publicly condemning the bill as this fuels the anti-homosexual and anti-western rhetoric of the bill's proponents.
The fear about outside pressure having a negative effect on efforts to block the bill were echoed by a human rights lawyer, described as the "only human rights lawyer working to defend Ugandan homosexuals against charges under pre-existing anti-homosexuality laws." The lawyer urged the international community to publicly oppose the bill, but said that threats to cut assistance as Sweden had already done "is counter productive and emboldens those pushing the legislation."
The cable also reveals that members of the local gay community expressed fears over their security in the hostile environment stoked by the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Members of the community were also very nervous over a very high-profile interview of LGBT advocate Valery Kalende that appeared on the front page of the main opposition newspaper, Daily Monitor. According to the cable:
Local gay and lesbian activists pleaded with one member, Val Kalende, to reconsider a feature interview with the opposition newspaper the Daily Monitor. The Monitor ran the interview as the front page story, along with several photographs of Kalende, on December 12. Published under an anonymous byline, the article provides a striking and remarkably well-written portrait of Kalende's struggle against rising discrimination and hatred. After describing her initial reaction to (M.P. David) Bahati's anti-homosexuality bill, Kalende said: "for the first time, I am very scared." Bahati's bill, said Kalende, "is not about homosexuality. It effects everyone; my pastor, my friends. It is not about us gays. Homosexuality is not about sodomizing young boys. What about relationships among people who are not hurting anyone?" The Monitor interview included a sidebar that dispassionately provided the facts about human homosexuality – its history and universality – and thus implicitly debunked many of the most absurd claims made by the bill's proponents.
The first lady's strident support for the Anti-Homosexuality Bill goes directly against President Yoweri Museveni's attempts to sideline the bill, pointing to a political division within the Museveni family. Another cable dated September 23, 2009, reveals, amid corruption allegations against the First Lady, that Janet Museveni has no ambitions to be President, preferring to remain "the power behind the throne," and that the president is grooming his son to eventually take power:
(Ruling party insider Mike) Mukula said Museveni was increasingly patterning himself after Robert Mugabe and wants to position his son, Lieutenant Colonel Muhoozi Kainerugaba Museveni, as his eventual successor. Muhoozi returned from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in mid-2008 to assume command of the new Special Forces, a still-murky component – or potentially entirely separate unit – of the praetorian Presidential Guard Brigade comprised of all the PGB's elite, technical, and specialized non-infantry capabilities.
However, Paul Canning points to an op-ed appearing in this morning's Sunday Monitor questioning whether the first lady has truly given up presidential ambitions herself.

Learning about Nelson Mandela and his role in history.
BUFFALO, NY - Nelson Mandela was born in 1918. Students in a high school history class were born in 1996. They are learning who Mandela was and what role he played in the fight for freedom in South Africa.
International Prep at Grover students were very engaged as teacher history teacher Rich Pyszczek explained the life of the anti-apartheid revolutionary and former South African President.
Some of the students thought Nelson Mandela and actor Morgan Freeman were the same, Pyszczek put their faces up on a screen and explained why it was important to make a clear distinction. "I wanted to take this time today to show you that this is a different person and the impact that he (Mandela) had."
We asked students for their thoughts on Mandela after class, Mohamed Hussein is from Kenya and now attending high school in Buffalo, NY. "Life wasn't fair you know back home, now that I read about Mandela, and the effect he had on the world, I thank him for it. My mom always used to talk to me about him and how he was a big impact in the world."
When students learned how long Mandela was in jail and if they would remain silent, Xavier Maye, 17, said, "you're going to have to take me because I like to speak my mind. So if it's a good cause for it, then I'll take the punishment for it."
Kylon Kane said, "I applaud him for his bravery because I know the things he did, I feel like I would do the same, but it takes a very strong man to stand up against the government, for the things that he believes in."
"He made the world a better place for most people and he influenced me to do good," said Abdi Iftin.
The teacher ended class by calling Nelson Mandela's life of 95-years, "one of the biggest underdog stories ever."

Her impact on the music industry is undeniable and Adele is slated to visit Buckingham Palace tomorrow (December 19) for a special ceremony.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer will be given a medal to commemorate her Most Excellent Order of the British Empire title, presented by a yet-unnamed member of the British Royal Family.
She's no stranger to success, and Adele has achieved yet another massive milestone with her 2011 album 21.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer's sophomore release has sold 3 million digital copies, making it the first album of all time to do so.
Enjoying the brisk London air on Thursday (November 21), Adele went out for a walk with baby daddy Simon Konecki and 13-month-old Angelo.
Keeping things casual, the "Skyfall" songstress ventured in black, wearing a unique shawl and gown, skinny leggings and walking treads. Simon walked beside in a winter hat and gray trench coat, and baby Angelo rode along with them in his stroller.
While most people would jump at a multi-million-dollar endorsement from a top cosmetics brand, Adele appears to have given L'Oreal Paris the cold shoulder.
The "Rolling in the Deep" songstress was offered $19 million to be the new face of the company, picking up where Cheryl Cole left off.
She certainly doesn't mind being chauffeured around town, but now Adele can drive herself anywhere she wants.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer told her followers on Twitter that she just took her driver's license exam and she's now the proud bearer of an operator's permit.
She's one of the biggest-selling pop singers of all time, and now Adele is ready to try out her silver screen acting chops.
According to a report, the "Rolling in the Deep" songstress is in talks to star in the forthcoming biopic about the late singer Dusty Springfield.
Up to this point, her exposure to the world of movies topped out at winning an Academy Award for her "Skyfall" theme, but Adele is about to change all of that.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer has joined the cast of "The Secret Service," a forthcoming comic book adaptation flick.
Given her massive success and worldwide appeal, it's only proper that Adele be immortalized in waxy goodness.
The "Chasing Pavements" chick's wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London, England today (July 3) and it sounds like the real Adele approves.

14.1. PURPOSE: This chapter is the result of analysis of the preceding chapters, and establishes broad objectives regarding the many topics studied, as well as general methods by which those objectives might be attained. It is the intent of this document that the objectives herein established be incorporated and further defined in a zoning and subdivision ordinance so as to reasonably balance development and growth while conserving those assets the community holds of value. The data in the preceding chapters as well as the information in this chapter serve not only to allow analysis of specific land use proposals, but to educate those proposing development that which the citizens of Boundary County deem important, so their plans may be developed to be in accord with or to enhance the objectives herein expressed.
14.2. PROPERTY RIGHTS: Boundary County recognizes the primacy of the rights of property ownership as established by the United States Constitution, the Idaho State Constitution and the laws of Idaho, and recognizes that every property owner has both the right to the use of property as well as the expectation that adjacent land uses will not unduly abrogate that inherent right.
14.2.1. Boundary County policy is to establish fair and equitable land use ordinances, laws and regulations such that each property owner within the jurisdiction of Boundary County may lawfully enjoy the widest use of land with assurance that surrounding land uses, lawfully established, will not unduly infringe upon their enjoyment of property.
14.2.2. Boundary County will purposely enact no land use law, nor render any land use decision, which constitutes a taking of private property, as enunciated at Title 67, Chapter 80, Idaho Code.
14.2.3. There exist and will be promulgated federal and state land use regulations within this jurisdiction so as to achieve objectives beyond those established herein. Boundary County should avoid duplicating these requirements, but encourage the exchange of data with those agencies, and that those proposing development may be made aware of other county, federal and state land use requirements.
14.2.4. Boundary County encourages planners, property owners and all citizens to treat one another honestly and politely.
14.3.1. SURFACE WATER: Boundary County recognizes the value of its surface water resources and their aesthetic appeal and importance to local ecosystems, as well as their desirability for recreational use and residential development. Boundary County recognizes the need to regulate such development so as to establish reasonable standards to encourage compatible uses while restricting those uses likely to degrade surface water quality.
188.8.131.52. Lakes, ponds, creeks, streams and other surface waters can be afforded protection by establishing reasonable development setbacks from normal high water marks of those features.
22.214.171.124. Surface waters can be protected from contamination by requiring EPA approval on developments, excluding development of a single family residence, which require the movement of earth exceeding an area one acre in size. Where a single family residence is proposed, the applicant should be notified of EPA requirements.
220.127.116.11. Boundary County encourages the use of best management practices as established by the agency regulating the specific type use in the development of sites adjacent to surface water features so as to protect both those waters and riparian areas.
220.127.116.11. Natural vegetative buffers surrounding surface waters are important to the health of surface waters. Boundary County can assure these buffers by establishing development setbacks from normal high water marks and encouraging development practices that promote the retention of natural vegetation and the least ground disturbance necessary to accommodate development needs and to provide access.
220.127.116.11. Development on and surrounding many Boundary County surface waters are subject to additional regulatory requirements by state and federal agencies. Boundary County land use regulations should not duplicate these requirements, but include provisions so that those permits be provided the county, either as part of development applications or as a condition of approval.
14.3.2. BEACHES AND SHORELINES: Boundary County recognizes that those lands immediately surrounding surface water, to include beaches, shorelines and alluvial fans, are integral to the health of the water body itself and add to the scenic beauty of Boundary County. It is also recognized that these areas are, by their nature, desirable for development, and that reasonable standards are needed so as to protect these resources while affording property owners the ability to avail themselves the benefits these features provide.
184.108.40.206. Beaches and shorelines can be protected by the establishment of standards as established at 14.3.1, above.
14.3.3. WETLANDS: Boundary County recognizes the ecological significance of wetlands identified by the Idaho Department of Lands.
184.108.40.206. The Idaho Department of Lands, the Idaho Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulate development proposed within wetlands as identified on Boundary County GIS maps using data provided by those agencies. Proof of compliance with the requirements of those agencies should be required prior to county approval on any development proposed within a designated wetland.
188.8.131.52. All matters pertaining to wetland designation and management should be directed to the Walla Walla District of the Army Corps of Engineers, which coordinates with the Idaho Departments of Land and Water Resources. Boundary County encourages those agencies to provide updated GIS data to the county GIS Mapping department so as to allow accurate identification of designated wetland areas.
14.3.4. SUBSURFACE WATERS: Boundary County recognizes the importance of aquifers and groundwater to its citizens, as well as that limited information available on the abundance, distribution and quality of such water sources. Boundary County recognizes that future planning decisions as regard subsurface waters are likely to be based on insufficient data.
188.8.131.52. The State of Idaho Water Resources Board is currently in a long-term program to identify, map and assess groundwater basins throughout the state. Boundary County policy should encourage the development of a groundwater basin plan for the Kootenai River Basin.
18.104.22.168. Upon completion, the results of this study should be incorporated into the Boundary County Comprehensive Plan so as to identify the extent of subsurface water resources, both to identify aquifers that currently supply water or could supply water in the future and those aquifers that are insufficient to accommodate development or that could be degraded by development activity.
14.3.5. FISHERIES: Boundary County recognizes the value of its fisheries and promotes measures to enhance both the health and quality of these resources.
22.214.171.124. Protections established at 14.3.1 and 14.3.2, above, will assist in protecting Boundary County fisheries by regulating development along surface waters and through the retention of natural vegetation.
220.127.116.11. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has provided GIS data for incorporation into the county land use mapping system by which to identify critical fisheries and streams of concern. Boundary County can assist their efforts to enhance the quality and productivity of county fisheries by providing that agency notice of development proposals adjacent to these fisheries to allow advisory comment.
14.3.6. WILDLIFE: Boundary County recognizes the importance of its wildlife as well as the potential adverse affect on wildlife habitat which can be caused by unregulated development.
126.96.36.199. Boundary County encourages subdivision design and development methods which enhance and improve wildlife habitat.
18.104.22.168. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has provided Boundary County GIS data for incorporation into the county land use mapping system by which to identify critical wildlife habitat. Boundary County can assist in their effort to preserve and enhance endangered species recovery habitat by providing notice to that agency of proposed land use development within those areas to allow advisory comment.
14.3.7. SOILS: Boundary County possesses a variety of soil types which directly support other attributes described herein as well as affect development. The suitability of soils to support development and septic disposal should be considered on land use proposals.
126.96.36.199. A study titled "Soil Survey of Boundary County Area, Idaho," was developed in 2005 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Natural Resource Conservation Service, providing a thorough study of soil types throughout Boundary County, including development considerations unique to each. A copy of this study is maintained in the Planning and Zoning office as a reference resource to be used in the evaluation of development proposals.
184.108.40.206. Boundary County encourages development practices designed to protect against soil erosion and slide potential, such as re-vegetation of exposed areas and slope stabilization measures.
126.96.36.199. The suitability of soils to support development can be assured by requiring EPA approval on developments which require the movement of earth exceeding an area one acre in size.
126.96.36.199. Boundary County possesses many soil types which support agriculture, including lands lying along the Kootenai River identified on the accompanying Boundary County Comprehensive Land Use Map as Prime Agriculture. Boundary County policy should encourage preservation of these arable soils by reducing development density and encouraging clustered development in those areas more marginally suited for agriculture production.
14.3.8. VEGETATION: Boundary County possesses a wide variety of vegetation, including native, cultivated and invasive. Boundary County land use policy should encourage the retention of native and cultivated plant species while reducing or eliminating invasive species.
184.108.40.206. Development standards encouraging or requiring retention of native vegetation and greenbelts can be established so as to protect sensitive areas, preserve county aesthetics and to assist in achieving objectives established throughout this chapter.
22.214.171.124. Boundary County land use policy should encourage the retention of those areas identified on the Comprehensive Land Use Map as prime forestry, as well as promote multiple uses of forests and stewardship of the renewable resources they provide by reducing development density and by restricting or prohibiting incompatible land uses.
18.104.22.168. Boundary County land use policy should encourage the retention of those areas identified on the Comprehensive Land Use Map as prime agriculture by reducing development density and by restricting or prohibiting incompatible land uses.
220.127.116.11. Boundary County recognizes the need to control and eradicate noxious weeds, and progress in this effort can be improved by ensuring that the Boundary County Weed Control Superintendent is notified of proposed development and by encouraging those proposing development to participate in noxious weed control programs offered.
14.3.9. MINERALS: Boundary County recognizes the need for the extraction of mineral resources as well as the fact that these resources must be extracted where they exist. In addition, it is recognized that mining and mineral extraction can be a long term and intensive use that can adversely affect surrounding land uses. Boundary County policy is to reasonably balance the need for mineral extraction while providing protection to existing land uses.
22.214.171.124. The Idaho State Land Commission, the Bureau of Mines, the Idaho Department of Lands, the Department of Environmental Quality and other state and federal agencies establish regulation requirements regarding surface and subsurface mining and mineral extraction. Boundary County should not duplicate these regulatory requirements, but require proof of compliance prior to final approval of any proposed mining development.
126.96.36.199. Boundary County can balance the need for mineral extraction and provide protection to surrounding property owners by identifying those usage zones, such as high-density residential zones, which are incompatible with mineral extraction and restrict or prohibit mineral extraction in these zones.
126.96.36.199. Boundary County can mitigate the potential adverse impacts of mineral extraction by establishing setback requirements of pits or mines from property boundaries and by requiring the retention of buffer areas.
14.4.1. STATE HIGHWAYS: Boundary County recognizes that highways maintained by the Idaho Transportation Department comprise the primary arteries for the county ground transportation system and are essential to the transport of people and goods into, out of and within Boundary County. Boundary County land use policy is to maintain and improve the safety and efficiency of state highways within Boundary County through cooperation with ITD, and to promote policies that reasonably regulate development and retain the aesthetic appeal of state highways within the county enjoyed both by residents and those visiting Boundary County.
188.8.131.52. Boundary county's state highways possess scenic beauty attractive both to residents and those passing through. It is in the best interest of Boundary County to consider visual quality when establishing zone densities and areas for commercial and industrial development so as to allow growth where necessary and appropriate. Reasonable methods which could be employed to accomplish this include encouraging line-of-site barriers, such as trees and landscaping, and the establishment of adequate development setbacks from state highways.
22.214.171.124. The scenic integrity of state highways within Boundary County can be retained, and the objectives of the Idaho State Scenic Byway Program be furthered, by the prohibition of off-premise billboard signage throughout the unincorporated areas of Boundary County and the establishment of strict standards on other off-premise signage. Wireless communication towers can also detract from scenic views, and "stealth" design can be encouraged so that such towers blend into rather than clash with the scenery.
188.8.131.52. The ITD establishes approach, ingress and egress requirements on all new commercial and residential accesses to state highways within Boundary County so as to maintain safe travel corridors. Boundary County can incorporate these requirements as part of the development approval process by notifying the ITD of land use proposals and by requiring proof of compliance with ITD access requirements as a condition of approval.
14.4.2. COUNTY ROADS: Boundary County Road and Bridge is responsible for maintaining a county ground transportation network to provide for the safe and efficient movement of goods and people from outlying areas of the county to the state highway system and points beyond. Boundary County land use policy is to protect the county taxpayer from the cost of developing roads necessary to accommodate development and to maintain and improve the safety and efficiency of the existing county road system by establishing policies and standards consistent with and beneficial to the flow of traffic and by cooperating with Boundary County Road and Bridge in the planning of future transportation needs responsive to growth.
188.8.131.52. Increased residential and commercial density should be situated in those areas of the county served by existing roads sufficient to accommodate such density. Conversely, development densities should be reduced where roads, by reason of inadequate rights of way or restrictive terrain, cannot be adequately upgraded to safely accommodate increases in growth.
184.108.40.206. Planning decisions should take into account the ability of the combined system of state, county and private roads to provide access for adequate emergency services, particularly fire. Wildfire can spread rapidly and threaten large areas. In the event of evacuation, care must be given to ensuring sufficient egress even as emergency service personnel, including those operating large fire apparatus, are making ingress to confront the fire.
184.108.40.206. In higher density zones which permit parcel sizes of five acres or less, reasonable subdivision and development standards should be established to accommodate increased pedestrian and bicycle traffic so as to ensure the safety of both motorists and pedestrians and to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic. This could be achieved by establishing access and utility easement and road construction standards within these zones on all roads serving two or more lots or parcels.
126.96.36.199. In all proposals for residential or commercial development encompassing two or more lots or parcels within zones of lesser density than described in 184.108.40.206, above, Boundary County encourages the establishment of defined access and utility easements, construction of roads to all-weather county road standards, inclusion of pedestrian paths and provisions for interconnectivity with adjacent properties or developments so as to provide safe and adequate ground transportation compatible with county and state road system.
18.104.22.168. Boundary County Road and Bridge establishes approach, ingress and egress placement and construction standards on all drives and approaches connecting to the county road system. Boundary County Planning can incorporate these requirements as part of the development approval process by notifying road and bridge of land use proposals and by requiring proof of compliance with county access requirements as a condition of approval.
184.108.40.206. When construction of roads to accommodate a proposed commercial, industrial or residential development will require the excavation or disturbance of a surface area exceeding one acre in size, proof of compliance with EPA regulations should be required.
14.4.3. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ROUTES: Boundary County recognizes the value of non-motorized, multi-use paths and trails both in providing for safe pedestrian traffic and for the recreational opportunities such equestrian, hiking and bicycling trails afford. Boundary County encourages the development of such paths and trails, as well as provisions for their inner-connectivity.
188.8.131.52. In coordination with the Idaho Transportation Department and County Road and Bridge, Boundary County planners should encourage and assist in the development, in transportation plans, of a system of non-motorized, multi-use paths and trails, focusing initially on community centers and expanding along transportation corridors as opportunities arise so as to eventually develop a connected pedestrian transportation system.
220.127.116.11. Boundary County policies should encourage the incorporation of inter-connected non-motorized, multiple use paths in residential subdivision developments along transportation corridors so as to promote the development of a county-wide system of pedestrian pathways. Such non-motorized paths and trails, while considered infrastructure improvements, enhance the rural qualities enjoyed in Boundary County, and should not be considered encroachments when proposed within areas set aside as open space or green belt.
14.4.4. RAILROADS: Boundary County recognizes the role railroads play in serving the local economy as well as their potential to foster and support centralized industrial and commercial growth. Additionally, it is recognized that increased growth in those areas served by roads crossed by railroad tracks increase the safety risks associated with these crossings. Boundary County should use to its advantage the former, while working to reduce the latter risk.
220.127.116.11. Rail lines are strategically positioned to support industrial and commercial growth in and near Bonners Ferry, and could play a crucial role in transporting solid waste out of the county should the local landfill be forced to close. In addition, rail lines can and do play a major role in transporting locally abundant commodities, including wood material and vegetable matter which could be used for ethanol production, to both foreign and domestic markets. Railroads and rail access should be considered when planning suitable sites for commercial and industrial zoning.
220.127.116.11. Railroad crossings should be carefully considered in planning for increased residential and commercial growth so as to provide for the safety of motorists and for the efficient flow of traffic, both road and rail. New crossings should be avoided and, where feasible, existing crossings should be eliminated. In those cases where railroad crossings cannot be avoided, those crossing should be monitored so as to determine if and when installation of crossing safety devices is necessary.
14.4.5. AIRPORTS: Boundary County concurs with and ratifies the policy of the State of Idaho in declaring that any hazard to the safety of air flight may cause disastrous and needless loss of life and property, that safety of air flight is of paramount importance for the protection and well being of its citizens, and that air traffic and the use of airspace is constantly increasing and is vital to continued economic growth, development and enjoyment of the resources of Boundary County. Boundary County land use policy supports the growth and development of the Boundary County Airport so as to both avail itself the benefits the airport provides while ensuring the safety of people, both on the ground and in the air.
18.104.22.168. The Boundary County Airport is owned and operated by Boundary County and managed by an appointed airport board overseen by Boundary County Commissioners, subject to federal and state aviation requirements. Establishing a separate zone district specific to the airport proper and ceding land use jurisdiction directly to the Board of County Commissioners would facilitate the growth and development of the Boundary County Airport.
220.127.116.11. Conflicts with residential development around airports have historically been a major factor in the forced closure of airports nationwide. The Boundary County Airport is ideally situated to serve the community as well as to expand to meet future air transportation needs. Boundary County planning can further this potential by establishing low density commercial zoning around the airport and restricting uses incompatible with airport operations and safety, such as residential use and uses which congregate large numbers of people beneath those areas used by aircraft utilizing airport facilities, particularly for takeoff and approach.
220.127.116.11. The safety of both aviators and those on the ground, as well as the operability of the airport, can be enhanced by the establishment and enforcement of height restriction overlays as mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration, and by informing the airport manager of development proposals within those overlay zones.
22.214.171.124. Those seeking to establish residential use within one mile of the Boundary County airport should be made aware, in writing, that they will live near an active airport and be subject to occasional high noise levels both day and night.
14.5. PUBLIC SERVICES, FACILITIES AND UTILITIES: Boundary County recognizes that public services, facilities and utilities are essential to public health and safety, but that the level of services desired varies among individual property owners and residents. Public services, facilities and utilities should be considered in rendering land use decisions specific to the use proposed so as to ascertain their suitability to accommodate the use or, where utilities and services are limited or not provided, that disclosure is made so as to protect potential purchasers of property.
14.5.1. Sewage Disposal: In high-density zones, minimum parcel sizes for proposed developments should vary based on the availability of services. Where both community water and sewer is available, density can be increased; where community water service but not sewer service is available, a minimum parcel size of one acre should be established to reasonably accommodate a septic system; where neither community water or sewer service are available, a minimum parcel size of two-and-one-half acres should be established to accommodate both a well and a septic system.
14.5.2. Drainage/Storm Water Runoff: So as to ensure that proposed developments will not increase nor decrease normal water runoff which might damage properties adjacent to such development, provisions should be established to require proof of EPA approval on storm water runoff plans when a proposed development will require the excavation or disturbance of more than one acre of ground in area, to include roads established or converted for residential, commercial or industrial use.
14.5.3. Water Supplies: Developers proposing residential subdivisions on lots, parcels or tracts of land twenty acres in size or less should be required to provide proof of availability of water or written disclosure to potential buyers that water availability is not assured.
14.5.4. Fire Stations and Fire Fighting Equipment: Boundary County should always consider the inherent danger of wildfire in Boundary County and the contributions made by local volunteer fire departments, associations and districts. Fire mitigation plans should be included in all proposals for the establishment of commercial or industrial use and for the development of subdivisions. Those proposing development within Boundary County should be made aware, in writing, of the fire association or district providing coverage, and of the benefits available through participation in the Boundary County Fire Safe Program.
14.5.5. Solid Waste Disposal: The Boundary County Landfill operates under Subtitle D restrictions and is facing closure within the next several years at considerable expense to county taxpayers. The flow of solid waste into the Boundary County Landfill should be considered when evaluating land use proposals and alternative disposal methods encouraged in the interest of retaining an open landfill for the longest possible time.
14.6. SCHOOL FACILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION: Boundary County appreciates the role the county's public school system plays in the economic infrastructure, and will continue to provide School District 101 information and data on land use proposals, particularly subdivisions, and trends that the district may accommodate and plan for future facility and transportation needs, without burdening future development with added cost or regulation.
14.6.1. Boundary County encourages and promotes the inclusion of features designed to assure student safety to and from school in residential subdivision proposals, including but not limited to pedestrian paths, student shelters and bus pull-off or turnout areas.
14.6.2. Boundary County recognizes the benefit of private schools and alternatives to the public school system and encourages such schools to provide students diverse educational opportunities.
14.7. HAZARDOUS AREAS: One of the principle roles of county government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens, and county land use policy should establish development standards and restrictions to protect against potential natural hazards, particularly threats from wildfire, flood and ground failure.
14.7.1. Boundary County supports and encourages participation in fire mitigation programs to preclude catastrophic wild fire on both public and private lands, particularly in those drainage areas that provide water to Boundary County residents.
14.7.2. Boundary County participates in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood insurance program, and all development within flood plains as identified on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps shall meet FEMA requirements prior to county approval.
14.7.3. Boundary County can minimize the threat of damage from ground failure by establishing clustered development standards so that development can be consolidated into areas not at risk from such damage and that areas may be set aside for uses not endangered should ground failure occur.
14.8.1. Areas of Historical Significance: Boundary County recognizes those sites and areas identified by the Idaho National Historical Society as being of historical significance, and land use policy is to preserve those sites by discouraging incompatible use.
188.8.131.52. It is recognized that lands comprising Kootenai Tribal Headquarters are sovereign to the Kootenai Tribe, and they are hereby exempt from the provisions herein as well as Boundary County land use and subdivision ordinances to be enacted.
14.8.2. Architectural Significance: Boundary County has a significant and valued collection of architecturally and historically significant structures, including barns, agricultural structures, cabins, schools and community halls which contribute to the heritage and rural characteristics treasured by county residents. Boundary County land use policy should encourage and promote their preservation through its support of the Boundary County Historical Society.
14.8.3. Ecological Significance: Boundary County recognizes the importance of surface water bodies and riparian areas, and can provide protection to these areas by establishing reasonable development setbacks and by encouraging development that protects these resources.
14.8.4. Scenic Significance: To protect the integrity of scenic routes and by-ways, Boundary County should prohibit the installation of billboard signage outside incorporated areas of the county. Boundary County can promote preservation of scenic views from state highways by encouraging compatible development and the retention of natural vegetative buffers.
14.9. RECREATION: Boundary County recognizes the importance of recreation to citizens and visitors and encourages the highest level of access to public areas in which recreational activities have traditionally been enjoyed. Boundary County should continue to be responsive to the citizens of the community to ensure a variety of recreational opportunities appealing to people of all ages.
14.9.1. Parks, Public Lands and Campgrounds: Boundary County land use policy promotes the retention of access to federal and state land for community recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking and camping, bicycling, fishing, horseback riding, hunting, snowmobiling and off-road vehicle riding.
14.9.2. Boundary County Parks and Recreation: Boundary County has in place a system of parks, playing fields, trails and playgrounds managed by an appointed Parks and Recreation Board. Boundary County land use policy will be to encourage compatible development around existing parks.
14.9.3. Non-Motorized Trails: Boundary County encourages open areas and interconnected access to existing paths and recreational areas in future developments.
14.9.4. Water-Related Recreation: Boundary County encourages the preservation of access to those surface waters traditionally enjoyed for recreation.
14.9.5. Events: Recreational and entertainment events have the potential to draw large numbers of people to Boundary County. While such events are a benefit to the community, they can place temporary burdens on local transportation, law enforcement and other infrastructure. Boundary County should set reasonable standards on such events to ensure that adequate health and safety services are provided for those attending as well as to mitigate potential adverse impacts to the general public.
14.10. POPULATION: Boundary County land use regulations should be designed to accommodate a growing population while protecting the rural character and quality of life values most responsible for the attractiveness of our community. Boundary County should continue to monitor the latest and best available demographic data to ensure county land use policy reflects and is adapted to changing trends.
14.11. COMMUNITY DESIGN: Boundary County encourages that development be designed to conform to the objectives established by this comprehensive plan, but sees no need to specifically establish regulation governing landscaping, tree plantings, or standards for community design, development and beautification, trusting instead that those who propose development will have their own vision of how their projects should look, and that their vision will be developed in the interest of being a good neighbor and in compliance with established law. Boundary County recognizes that billboard signage will unnecessarily detract from the scenic beauty of its state highways, and should implement a ban on such signs throughout its jurisdiction.
14.11.1. To encourage the best use of land in a manner that will allow preservation of those values this community desires to retain while affording property owners the ability to maximize value, Boundary County should establish provisions for clustered development. Such development would not increase overall density, but allow development, especially residential, to be condensed into a smaller area requiring less infrastructure and disturbance of soil, and set aside areas restricted to development so as to preserve productive agriculture and timber lands, to avoid development in areas at risk from natural hazards, including areas subject to ground failure, fire and flood, and to conform to existing topography and natural features, including excessive slopes, surface water, alluvial fans, riparian areas, wetlands and sensitive wildlife habitat.
14.11.2. In all proposed subdivisions of land, Boundary County encourages the inclusion of adequate roads and utility easements sufficient to accommodate vehicular and pedestrian traffic and to allow interconnectivity with other developments so that the county road transportation system can efficiently expand to accommodate growth and provide adequate transportation routes for emergency vehicles, including fire apparatus, when the need may arise. The precise location of such roads and easements should be legally defined and described so as to avoid future conflicts.
14.11.3. Boundary County encourages design practices that retain natural vegetation and that blend with the land so as to retain scenic beauty.
14.11.4. Boundary County encourages those planning development within the county to consider the concerns of adjacent property owners, and that they address those concerns, where possible, cooperatively and early in their planning process. Likewise, Boundary County encourages the owners of properties adjacent to a proposed development to refrain from opposing merely because of proximity, but that they give fair hearing to proposals, realistically assess potential adverse impacts they might face, offer ideas that might sufficiently mitigate those concerns and, when no remedy is available, that they avail themselves of their right to be heard through the public hearing process, that their interests may be fairly weighed.
14.12. HOUSING: Boundary County recognizes the need for safe and affordable housing, and also recognizes that people have the right to build or buy the home that best serves their individual needs, desires and circumstance. Boundary County encourages those building homes for the commercial market to include housing that is affordable to the median home buyer in Boundary County, but recognizes that by not establishing housing construction and building standards, it is limited in its influence in regulating the provision of affordable housing.
14.12.1. Boundary County can promote the development of safe and affordable housing by keeping administrative requirements and costs to the minimum level necessary to attain the objectives established herein.
14.12.2. As land is a major factor in the price of a home, Boundary County can promote affordable housing by establishing higher density zones, where infrastructure permits, and by establishing provisions for the development of multi-family housing and clustered development.
14.12.3. Boundary County may further provide for the availability of more affordable housing by considering the allowance of density bonuses meeting specific and well-defined criteria designed to promote the objectives established herein.
14.12.4. Local regulations should not duplicate those of other county, state or federal agencies, but be designed to inform applicants of those requirements prior to site preparation, road building or construction. Where a proposed development requires permits for development in a flood plain or wetland, or when a proposal requires the excavation or movement of soil in excess of one acre in surface area, final county approval should be withheld until proof of compliance is provided.
14.13. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: The goal of this plan is to maintain and enhance the economic condition of Boundary County by influencing the development of policies that encourage enterprise, agricultural and forestry job development, industrial growth and commercial development in a way that will maintain the county's rural qualities by ensuring compatibility within land use classifications. Small and home-based businesses form the foundation of economic growth and development in Boundary County, and land use policies can continue to encourage their establishment and retention by imposing the minimum administrative requirement necessary to attain the objectives established herein.
14.14. LAND USE: The purpose of this Comprehensive Plan and accompanying Comprehensive Land Use Map has been to gauge the will of the citizens of Boundary County so that land use and subdivision ordinances and a land use zoning map can be developed in accord with the goals established herein, bringing into balance the diverse views expressed.
14.14.1. Zone district designations should be established recognizing the value of the county's agricultural and timber land and to protect water and wildlife resources, centering areas for residential and commercial growth in those areas where adequate infrastructure exists.
14.14.2. Within the zone districts so created, those land uses which would be compatible with the purpose and objective of the designation need to be identified, as well as those uses which could not be made compatible and so be prohibited, so property owners within those zones have clear knowledge of what they can do on their property as well as what neighbors may do on theirs.
14.14.3. While uses currently in place at the time of adoption of the new ordinance will be able to continue, Boundary County should recognize that uses established which constitute public nuisance or blight, including but not limited to un-regulated junk yards, and establish a mechanism by which such uses, when not brought into compliance with standards drafted, may be abated.

I made this meal for a game night and my guests loved it even though they aren't vegetarian. The recipe makes 4 servings. We were skeptical that we would need to add pasta sauce but it was perfect without it. We will definitely make this again. I already bought the ingredients.
Roasted Vegetable Pasta
From EatingWell: September 1998, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
Inspired by hunger and what's in the garden, this is a quick and flexible dish.
11 Reviews for Roasted Vegetable Pasta
How many people does this amount serve? Anyone know? Thanks!
This is great..will make again.
What a delight this menu meal is....
Keep them coming
Janie bee
This only took about 30 minutes from start to finish to make, the ingredients were cheap, and I was able to get my dad to eat a vegetarian meal and like it! I'm going to make this as many times as my family will eat it!
This is seriously one of my favorite dishes of all time. Great job, Eating Well!

text: Amazon goes shoe shopping TED News 25 July 09 by David Rowan http://www.flickr.com/photos/ttkgeek/2125870216/Flickr CC: John Pastor It's been a busy few days for Amazon.com - not least its acquisition of the shoe retailer Zappos.com in a deal valued at more than $900 million. So where was Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder and CEO? Relaxing thousands of miles away in the Oxford Playhouse, laughing uproariously at Rory Bremner's talk at the TED Global conference, and generally hanging out and chatting.Curious to discover how he could be so impressively unflustered as his firm was announcing such a giant deal, I mentioned to him knowingly that I'd heard he'd just been shoe shopping. "Oh, the Zappos deal?" he said. "Have you seen the state of my shoes?" He pointed to some slightly worn blue canvas sneakers. "I thought I really needed new shoes and this was as good a way as any..." The man has a sense of humour - though in true Amazon spirit, maybe he should have asked me to rate the joke out of five...

Moore, 25, was injured in the freestyle contest when he under-rotated a backflip. He suffered a concussion and was taken to Aspen Valley Hospital. Doctors there discovered bleeding around his heart and he was transported via helicopter to Grand Junction's St. Mary's Hospital, where he had emergency heart surgery Friday. Late Sunday, a family spokeswoman said the cardiac injury led to "a secondary complication involving his brain." The Denver Post

May 2, 2016
12-24-04 – Sherman firefighters spent Christmas Eve morning battling a fire in the southeast part of town. No injuries are reported, but a home is completely destroyed. Smoke could be seen for miles, as far as Denison.
Friday, the fire department was called to the 1200 block of Mitchell Street just before 7:00 a.m.
The home was engulfed in flames; it is completely destroyed and considered a total loss.
Firefighters say the cold weather made putting out the flames more difficult. Below freezing temperatures caused equipment troubles; however they were able to contain the fire and save nearby homes.

The search is on right now for the teens who assaulted a woman and robbed her.
It happened in a neighborhood near Bonfoy and North Union Boulevard in Colorado Springs on Saturday night.
11 News talked to the victim. She is pretty shaken up. She didn't want to go on camera because she's concerned the suspects could come back. She says the suspects shoved her up against her car and stole her purse.
The woman told us she was grabbing a bag from her car, that was parked in front of her house. She says all of a sudden two crooks came up behind her and pushed her against the car. Her neighbor, Shelley Smith is concerned.
"It's pretty shocking. I would consider this neighborhood pretty safe so it's kind of shocking," Smith said.
Police say the teens grabbed the woman's purse and grocery bag and took off. This crime has Smith thinking twice.
"I don't usually worry about it but I guess I should think more about it sometimes, because clearly it's a threat," Smith said.
Police say the suspects are believed to be 15 or 16 years old. One has blonde buzz style hair cut.
If you know anything about this crime call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

I started writing this column in hopes of inspiring readers to get moving and get healthy. Not everyone wants to run a marathon, but I think everyone can come up with some kind of fitness goal, no matter how small.
Through running I've met some of the most inspirational people. So even if my experiences don't inspire you, I think their stories will.
I met two of my inspirations within the last week. The first was a tall, fit man who I could tell at first glance was former, or possibly current, military. (I learned later he was retired Army Special Forces.)
We crossed paths while running, and then ended up running side-by-side as we reached our turnaround points on a trail. He asked how far our group was running (14 miles that day), and told us he was at his 16th mile and would probably stop at 20. We talked marathons, and I learned he had run Boston in 2 hours and 49 minutes — two years before I was born...
